Hello,

I want to run FreeBSD with at least 4 igb devices on an hostile
environment, therefore I am looking for a specific hardware.

Does anyone is aware of an Atom-based board with 4 or more gigabit ether
connections using Intel's 82575, 82576, 82580, I210/1, or I350 based
gigabit chip?

I know a couple of boards with Intel 82574L chipset like soekris 6501, but
it won't do for me.

Compiling a lean kernel of 9.1 p3

2013-05-15 Thread Tommy Pham
Hi everyone,

I installed 9.1 from DVD with src only and did 'freebsd-update fetch
install'.  Then I proceed to compile the lean kernel.  I'm unable to
compile a lean (no SCSI, RAID, sound, USB, Firewire, NICs) kernel of 9.1 p3
and without lib32 support.  I only needed SATA disk and em NIC support.
 The kernel compiled without errors.  However, on boot, it freezes after
the menu screen.  My make.conf only have added (from default
/usr/share/examples/etc):

KERNCONF=custom
CPUTYPE=?opteron

I have no problem booting from GENERIC built kernel and buildworld with
that make.conf.   Could someone please tell me how can I troubleshoot this?

TIA,
Tommy

By looking at it. ONLY by looking at it. :-)

Even if you would remove the built-in keyboard (disconnect the
flex), you would see that entry. It's not about the keyboard per
se, it's about the keyboard controller. This interface usually
is "in parallel" with a PS/2 connector (if present). There is
no language information in it.

Okay, then I misread it. English is not my native language. :-)

The logical conclusion: You have no way to find out what keyboard
is physically installed (or attached via PS/2).

This _might_ be not entirely true: If you can obtain some hardware
identification of the eeePC you're using, maybe some kind of ACPI
string or other vendor and product ID from some component, you could
guess what "localization" the device has, and then assume what
keyboard is installed. But that's just a wild guess from my side.

Hello,

Here on an laptop/netbook EeePC 900 with English keyboard it says:

# dmesg | fgrep kbd
kbd1 at kbdmux0
atkbdc0:  port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0
atkbd0:  irq 1 on atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0
atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0:  irq 12 on atkbdc0

how do I know that the kb layout is English?

USB was only meant as the boot device.

Basically, it's impossible, but it can be made possible by the
power of FreeBSD. :-)

Allow me to explain:

Depending on where the keyboard is attached, some connections
(AT 5 pin plug, PS/2 6 pin mini-plug) do not offer any means to
detect what keyboard is connected (or even _if_ a keyboard is
connected). This case usually applies to keyboards built into
laptops. You can see that in "dmesg | grep kbd".

Example:

% dmesg | grep kbd
kbd1 at kbdmux0
atkbdc0:  at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
atkbd0:  irq 1 on atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0
atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
atkbd0: [ITHREAD]
ukbd0:  on usbus1
kbd2 at ukbd0

You see: The AT keyboard controller is detected, kbd0 is available.
But there is no actual keyboard connected to that PS/2 port. Instead,
a Sun USB Type 7 keyboard (german layout) is being used here, as
kbd2.

But as you're asking about USB, there is a way. But this way
depends on how the manufacturer cooperates. Let's discuss that.

As you know, every USB device is characterized by two specific
USB numbers: vendor ID and product ID. In some cases, the product
ID is different regarding the language layout, but you need to
test that individually, no standard seems to exist.

Then, you can use the devd.conf file to select per this ID and
load the correct keyboard layout. This is done in the "rc.conf
stage". Prior to this stage, the "kernel stage", you can hardcode
layouts in the kernel config. Last time I checked this stopped
working, I have been told that the use of kbdmux is the reason
for this observation.

Example:

options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=german.iso
options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=german.iso

Those options would enable a german keyboard layout even in SUM.
Even adding a font for proper display has been possible:

options SC_DFLT_FONT
makeoptions SC_DFLT_FONT=iso

Not sure if this is still supported. Using Umlauts and Eszett is
discouraged in filenames, and the blind knowledge of the US keyboard
layout is quite standard among sysadmins. :-)



As a summery: No soup for you! ;-)

Other lists I have been on had both a list and a forum that accessed 
the same content. While I see that FreeBSD has both, I do not think they share 
content. A forum gateway to the list would permit folks to sign up for the 
forum and NOT get a ton of email. If the forum were publicly readable that 
would also provide a way to look through (if not search) the archives.

I am not trying to make work for people, just suggesting another way to 
address the competing issues of SPAM reduction and ease of access.

Re: detecting keyboard layout during boot

I suspect it's impossible to request what keyboard is used, since some
Linux installers ask the user to type some keys, after that
auto-detection does work. Perhaps you only can start a session with a
script, that does ask the user to type and then set up the needed
keyboard map.

Re: Status of Chromium port...

2013-05-15 Thread Volodymyr Kostyrko

14.05.2013 23:48, Peter Harrison:

Hello list!

Does anyone know the status of the Chromium port? It's stuck at v25 with 
multiple vulnerabilities. Updated versions have been available for a while, but 
haven't been brought into ports. I've emailed the maintainer but not had a 
response. Anyone know better?


I'm building v27 from port now. Looks like many things have changed 
since v25 - new dependencies, the build flows differently. Seems to be a 
major update.

detecting keyboard layout during boot

2013-05-15 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I have in /etc/rc.conf a line

keymap="german.iso"

to set the keyboard to German; as the system in question is on an USB
key for boot and sometimes used in other laptops with QWERTY layout, I
would like to have it adapt itself to the actual layout without changing
anything before booting in rc.conf and without asking the user to press
a key ... is there some way to detect the actual keyboard layout
automagically?

Thanks

matthias
