Was this bug ever actually addressed? In other words, is this an
actual bug or is it working as intended? If it is a bug, and since
it is apparently nearly 5 years old, will anyone actually ever look at
it?


The bug PR is at 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=95559cat=kern, 
it's marked as open. Have you checked your 
firewall? Perhaps the fix for pf works in yours.


IMO it looks like Xing LI found how to solution 
this issue and forgot to say how.

Re: XFCE keyboard layout tab missing

 Hi all, first I apologise if this is a known issue, I have been
 searching but can't seem to find an answer. I am looking to switch to
 FreeBSD full time and this is the only thing holding me back I want to
 run XFCE and I know the 4.8 release has some issues with mounting
 devices which used to use HAL but doesn't now, from what I understand
 of the issue it's not a deal breaker for me, what I am struggling with
 is that I cannot set the keyboard in XFCE to dvorak, as the layout tab
 is missing and the keyboard icon in the settings window has no icon. I
 imagined this was at first just requiring the correct language pack
 but having installed the GB language pack the missing tab does not
 appear. Additionally I recompiled xfce4-settings with all options
 enabled to no avail.
 
 Does anyone know what may be causing this issue?
 
 Many thanks,
 Neil

Hi Neil,

I think you need to install the
port /usr/ports/deskutils/xfce4-xkb-plugin
(or package if you prefer).

 Net has support for less sparc64 platforms than OpenBSD or FreeBSD and
 NetBSD reliability has gone downhill. I am sad to say it but I think Net's
 best days are behind us. I hope I have to eat my words some day. It used to
 be my favorite OS and pkgsrc is fantastic.

NetBSD supports many different platforms, maybe it's the way they count that 
makes it look like more than FreeBSD and Linux?

I have great problems with NetBSD on new Intel Sandy Bridge computer.

It was FreeBSD 9.0_BETA1 that caused me to suspend the struggle with NetBSD.

NetBSD-HEAD (5.99.xx to become 6.0) wouldn't even boot from hard-drive 
installation, would boot partway but hang.

Installation CD would boot maybe half the time.

NetBSD 5.1_STABLE would boot, but always went into immediate hard reboot when I 
tried to go to X.

On old computer, I have weird screenblanking problems with both NetBSD 
5.1_STABLE and HEAD; 4.0.1 was somewhat better.

On new computer, apparently the only viable open-source OSes are FreeBSD and 
Linux.

OpenBSD seems too backward and problematic, I never installed that.

FTP server for install link broken?

2012-01-27 Thread Kaya Saman

Hi,

am currently trying to install FreeBSD 9 on my Lenovo X220 and noticed 
that the link on this page in the FreeBSD Handbook is broken:


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pre.html


with link provided here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img


Now unless I've missed something I don't see FreeBSD 9.0 here at all:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/


Everything upto 8.2 is there but no 9.0


Any news in mean time I found it here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/


I know am using AMD64 but swap that with i386 and comes down to same 
result

Kaya

The default install of FreeBSD 9 uses GPT, so there are no slices or

ada0p2.  Don't know what Linux calls these partitions, though.

If you want multiboot on a GPT drive, grub2 seems to be the solution.

Am just currently trying to get my 'old' Fedora instance from an old HD

So updating that in order to get the kernel headers since the old kernel

Swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer

2012-01-27 Thread Kévin Hagner

Hello everybody :)

I'm trying to compil www/libxul, but I haven't enough RAM to done it 
correctly (cc1plus killed by the kernel).
So I mount a swap file with mdconfig and swapon. The new swap seems to 
be correctly added (I checked with swapinfo and top).


But now, during the compilation, my entire computer has planted, and I 
noticed that swap_pager emmited message in buckle on the tty1 like him :

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 48002, siwe 4096

After a check on the web, I found that it's principally a hardware error 
which cause this warning: hard drive, or cables...
But it's nothing wrong in /var/log/messages, and all other files on the 
hard disk have, for the moment, no I/O mistakes.


Do you have an idea of the source of my problem ?
I'm running on a FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE, the file system used is UFS, I've 
2Gb RAM and no native swap partition.


I thank you for the time which you dedicated to my request ;-)

 After a check on the web, I found that it's principally a hardware error 
 which cause this warning: hard drive, or cables...
 But it's nothing wrong in /var/log/messages, and all other files on the hard 
 disk have, for the moment, no I/O mistakes.
 

 Do you have an idea of the source of my problem ?

Try running:

  dd if=/dev/_your_disk_ of=/dev/null bs=64k conv=noerror

...or install sysutils/smartmontools port and use it to run drive diagnostics.

 I'm running on a FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE, the file system used is UFS, I've 2Gb 
 RAM and no native swap partition.

Oh.  You should never configure a Unix system without at least some swap space 
available, and configuring at least as much swap as you have RAM (plus a little 
bit more) is the minimum recommendation.

Dual Booting Linux with FreeBSD 9.0 - Grub in MBR

2012-01-27 Thread Kaya Saman

Hi,

am just wondering if anyone has successfully managed to boot FreeBSD 9.0 
and Linux.


I run Fedora 16 x64 with Grub installed in my MBR.

FBSD9 installed as the new disk scheme GPT. I think (I manually 
partitioned as my disk is quite crowded).


Anyway I found this:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-October/234858.html

and at the moment I have this in my Grub config:

menuentry 'FreeBSD 9.0'  {
set root=(ada0,1,a)
kfreebsd /boot/loader
boot
}

But unfortunately no boot :-(


I have tried using (hd0,0), (hd0,1,a), (hd0,0,a), and (hd0,a) but 
unfortunately nothing is working.



The Grub version is 2.


Can anyone help me?


Thanks


Kaya

 Install the misc/compat8x port to get libz.so.5 back until you can

 diablo-jdk16 with openjdk6.

 Hi,

 sorry I tried to install compat8x but it did not solve the problem, as
 that package does not install libz.so.5

 Thanks


 Sorry it did install libz.so.5, but diablo-jdk16 is still crashing for
 some reason...


 Ok, so I installed linux-sun-jdk16 that does not seem to get broken by
 FreeBSD 9, then I hacked the port Makefile for openjdk16 to bootstrap
 itself with linux-sun-jdk16 and so far it seems to be compiling fine...


 That solution did ont work either because jni_md.h is missing with
 linux-sun-jdk16. So now I am trying to compile gcj by hand and use it to
 bootstrap openjdk. This chicken and egg problem is getting really
 annoying...


So I discovered that openjdk cannot be bootstrapped with gcj, but then I
discovered that there was an openjdk6 package available for FreeBSD 9
(generated on January 15th). I installed it, but event that one does not
work. I am wondering if the problem is not with vsnprintf instead of libz:

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe I heard whispers of support in 9.x...

I think you won't get much for 8.1 specifically, as 8.2 was the latest 
8.x; that said you could try compiling it for your own purposes (if 
there is any support), or helping backport to 8-STABLE and go from there.

 but then there's this:

Here's me correcting myself:
 ls /8-STABLE/src/sys/dev/usb/controller/ | grep xhci
xhci.c
xhci.h
xhci_pci.c
xhcireg.h

Looks like it is also present in 8.2.
Doesn't look like it's in 8.1, though.
If upgrading to 8.2 isn't a possibility, the module probably
isn't impossible to backport.

Re: USB 3.0 with FreeBSD 8.1

2012-01-27 Thread Henry Olyer
When I look, I see a file /dev/da0,

but I can't do anything with it.  I've tried mount's and newfs and Fdisk,
nothing works.  Yes, their is an entry in the /dev directory, but no it
doesn't do me a lot of good.

Now, I am willing to do USB 2.0 transfers.  I'm willing to lose the 3.0
support.  I got this drive so I could back my machine up, but so far it's
doing a perfectly fine imitation of a boat anchor.

If I have to, I'll put up 9.x on another machine and simply do the
transfers across a TCP/IP wire.  A little slower but a day or so isn't
critical.

Now my questions:

a)  Am I supposed to be able to get USB 2.0 support by simply using a
conventional cable?  Because so far I'm getting nothing.

b)  Does 9.0 have USB 3.0 support.

The device I am trying to use is a WD My Essential Drive.

Displaying Routing Tables

2012-01-27 Thread Chris Maness
Executing route under linux displays all of the routing info for that
host.  For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the BSD route
command to dump the whole table at once.  I have used the GET flag to
find one specific entry.  Is it possible to see all routes and once
like the Linux route command?

I've said this here before.  And been attacked, pretty much by everyone.

But I was telling the truth.

When I put up any version of FBSD I usually try to install Maxima.  Which
fails because the sub-install of gnuplot fails.

I go to through various work-arounds, different things.

But Saturday I will be installing 9.0 and would like to have a successful
install.  Ideas?
