Steps were: Upgrade to FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE pkg_delete -a rm -r /usr/local/* Install ports using portmaster Turn on the ttyv8 xdm and reboot Login via the xdm dialog using the user .xsession file containing just /usr/local/bin/fvwm2 Do whatever and quit from fvwm back to the xdm dialogue Usually, but not always, the pointer does not move in response to pointer device. But it is still possible to login and get the fvwm display back, but pointless because the pointer still does not move. Only recovery option found was reboot. For me the most convenient work around is turn xdm off and login at a terminal and use the command 'startx exit'. It was quite a while before it occurred to me that the absence of xorg.conf from all the usual locations might be the problem. It is not a surprise now if X just works without any manual configuration. The Xorg -configure and X -config /root/xorg.conf.new dance gives a black screen on the hardware. For both reasons I did not bother with the dance when doing the upgrade. After generating and copying xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf the pointer was mobile after quitting from fvwm. Although it works I did not quite trust the generated xorg.conf because of the black screen and wondered if any of the information in the file was needed. So I deleted it and replaced it by 'touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf'. The pointer is mobile after quitting from fvwm. Maybe the problem was my sloppy configuration management in losing, I assume, an existing xorg.conf file. But maybe it is a bug because it is not a surprise if X just works without any manual configuration and the problem occurs possibly after hours of successful and varied use of applications via fvwm. Is your Xorg built with HAL support? You might have to kick HAL. I've not had problems using moused ( Xorg with HAL disabled) an old-fashioned xorg.conf. I rebuilt with HAL support on current oldest hardware. No problems. My notes say I tried this when upgrading to FreeBSD 7.2 and the problems led to builds being done without HAL support since then. Thanks for the kick. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
devd wlan wpa
Hello :-)
I want to setup wpa_supplicant to start after wlan0 interface gets up.
The rc.conf ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP does the job only at boot. When
I get the interface down I need to start everything by hand, which is
a bit annoying when I test a lot and need to switch between Ethernet
and WiFi interfaces very often. I have tried to write devd rule:
notify 0 {
match system IFNET;
match subsystem wlan[0-9]+;
match typeLINK_UP;
media-type 802.11;
match device-name wlan[0-9]+;
action /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i $device-name -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B;
};
But there goes the chicken-egg problem - I want to run wpa_supplicant
on LINK_UP event that occurs when Media Status is connected, but to
get that connected status I need to run wpa_supplicant first, so
capabilities of devd are not enough in this case, or I miss something?
Is there any distinction between LINK_UP and IF_UP?
Any hints appreciated :-)

Currently supported algorithms are: HMAC/MD5, HMAC/SHA1, HMAC/RIPEMD160, HMAC/SHA256, HMAC/SHA384 and HMAC/SHA512. If the option is not given, there will be no authentication, only encryption. The recom- mended algorithm is HMAC/SHA256. Yes I did (see above). Do I have to init the volume again to skip authentication? Probably yes. Does skipping authentication also remove the requirement of zeroing the whole eli disk for the checksums? Yes.

Can you advise me what I might have done wrong or what I should try? https://www.dan.me.uk/blog/2012/05/05/full-disk-encryption-in-freebsd-9-x-well-almost/ This guide doesn't seem to match your configuration. It uses ada0p3.eli for swapping and additionally uses keyfiles. Without knowing your actual configuration it's impossible to give proper advice. You could check with geli list ada0p3 if the boot flag is set, but that's obviously just a wild guess ... Forgot to list my simpler setup: ada0p1 freebsd-boot ada0p2 freebsd-ufs label boot /boot ada0p3 geli freebsd-ufs label enc / Do I have to set the boot flag for any of them? The geli passphrase is only requested at boot time for providers that have the geli boot flag set (for details see geli(8)). If it isn't set on ada0p3 it would explain the described behaviour. Fabian thanks a lot. Maybe I forgot -b during geli init but a geli configure -b /dev/ada0p3.eli fixed it. FreeBSD is so well structured and logical in this regard and hopefully in many others as I heard. In vfs.root.mountfrom only ”ufs:/dev/ada0p3.eli” works and the /dev/gpt/enc.eli doesn't. Is it supposed to? doesn't isn't a particular helpful problem description. Probably geli tastes ada0p3 before gpt/enc and once ada0p3 has been attached gpt/enc is hidden and thus can't be attached anymore. gpt labels aren't intentionally designed not to work with geli, but tasting races at boot time are a known limitation and also affect other geom classes. As a workaround you could use glabel labels instead. I use them for external disks to be able to geli attach them automatically using a known name, but for internal disks whose names don't frequently change I usually don't bother.

Re: devd wlan wpa
Hi,
There is this entry for the network aggregation in the Handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-aggregation.html
You will be able to switch from wired to wifi card (and vice versa).

FreeBSD on Acer C7 Chromebook?
[I'm not sure whether this would be better on -hackers@ or -hardware@ but -questions@ seems like a good place to start.] Is anyone considering getting FBSD to run on the Acer C7 Chromebook? The pros are that it's a cheap, small and relatively lightweight 64 bit Intel portable using integrated Intel graphics. The cons are that it's a Chromebook, so has a completely non-standard BIOS and boot sequence. However, Ubuntu has been hacked to boot on it (Google for ChrUbuntu) so it's not totally locked down. This would make a very useful little system, but the programming needed is beyond my skill set I'm afraid. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
