Touch screen support in 9 Release
Hello, My employer is going to replace my aging laptop soon. We've always used Macs at work but I'd kinda like to get back to FreeBSD. His criteria are Windows 8 and a touch screen, mine is decent FreeBSD support. So, what is the state of support for touch screens at the moment? Most if the information I can find is from four or five years ago, and I can't seem to find out what's going on now. And, any recommendations for a machine? I'd be using it primarily for web development.

Re: Installing 9.1 without re-partitioning hard drive
Lee, Are you using DOS-style or GPT partitions? I'm assuming DOS-style, and the rest of this email is only correct if that's the case, so correct me if I'm wrong. There's actually two partition tables at work here -- the big one, that lives at the start of the physical disk and divides up the FreeBSD from the Windows. Inside the FreeBSD slice (slice, partition, same thing, but just to be clear, call it a slice) there's going to be *another* partition table, to divide up the FreeBSD partitions amongst themselves. At a bare minimum you're going to have two partitions (which are really sub-partitions at this point), root and swap. Maybe even more. So it seems to me like, if you can get to the point where the FreeBSD installer recognizes the slice you've set aside for it, as its own, then you can let it rewrite the partition table *inside that slice* as much as it wants to. OK? Make sense? You just don't want it to touch the *outer* one. I honestly don't know enough about how the boot blocks work to know if that's going to work, in the end. You might still end up having to say yes to let it install FreeBSD boot blocks -- I don't know. But it seems to me like a prerequisite, in any case, is going to be to set the FreeBSD partition to partition type 165, so that the installer will recognize it as a FreeBSD slice. Is it already partition type 165? If not, can you make it type 165 and see if that changes anything? ~Ben ___ 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

By the way, I want to use this awk program in a shell script. I'm actually not sure what you're asking, exactly -- you want the number to go into an awk variable? Or a shell variable? Assuming you want it to go into an awk variable, I would try something like this: getline my_number filename; close filename; That assumes the filename is stored in the variable named filename. It puts the number in the awk variable named my_number. To put that in context, let's say you're getting the filename from $0, and you want to multiply the number by 2 and print it.

This is what i wrote:

Bear with me:
#! /bin/sh

So (a) there's only one input file, not multiple... and (b) it should
come from the command line of the shell script wrapper. Right?
awk 'getline no filename; print no'
If there's only one input file, then this is super easy and you
don't even need any of the getline or close stuff. Try:
filename=$1
awk '{no = $0; print no;}' $filename
In the shell script context (outside the awk), $1 refers to the first
command line parameter of the script. You don't want $0 there.
On the other hand, *inside* the awk part, dollar-sign variables have
a completely different meaning. $0 in *awk* (not sh) means the entire
contents of each line of the input file. So if your file had multiple
lines, that block would run multiple times. But since I'm guessing your
file only has one line (that being the number in question), the awk
block will only run once.

Different take on old FAQ: multihoming and source-based routing
Hi everyone, I've been doing a lot of google searching recently for variants of freebsd source-based routing to look for how to get a dual-homed FreeBSD machine to send to the correct default gateway based on the source address of the packets it's expecting that gateway to pass along. You can't send a packet with a Comcast source address to the ATT default gateway and expect it to actually make it out onto the public internet, etc. Universally, the posts I've been finding that discuss this always recommend creating multiple routing tables with options ROUTETABLES=... which I wasn't willing to do, because my wild youthful kernel-recompiling days are over -- these days I like the advantages that come with using a pure GENERIC kernel. :-) So, today I tried the following /etc/pf.conf: if = bge0 v4_addr_1 = 173.228.91.225 v4_net_1 = 173.228.91.0/24 v4_gw_1 = 173.228.91.1 v4_addr_2 = 50.193.24.82 v4_net_2 = 50.193.24.80/28 v4_gw_2 = 50.193.24.94 pass out quick on $if route-to ($if $v4_gw_1) inet from $v4_addr_1 to !$v4_net_1 no state pass out quick on $if route-to ($if $v4_gw_2) inet from $v4_addr_2 to !$v4_net_2 no state #pass out quick on $if route-to ($if $v6_gw_1) inet6 from $v6_addr_1 to !$v6_net_1 no state pass all no state I guess my setup is a bit simpler than the norm because I only have one physical interface, that both networks are on. But... by Jove, it seems to be working! Is there something I'm missing? Is this going to break in some subtle edge case that I'm just not seeing? If it really is this simple, why does everyone keep recommending the options ROUTETABLES approach?

Using kqueue with 2 threads
Hi,
I'm trying to use a kqueue to listen for VNODE events on a worker thread. I
want new events to be registered with the kqueue by a separate thread.
I have been referring to this example [URL=
http://doc.geoffgarside.co.uk/kqueue/file.html;]
http://doc.geoffgarside.co.uk/kqueue/file.html[/URL]
Here are the relevant parts of code as it is at the moment.
In my worker thread:
[CODE]std::cerr Started worker std::endl;
struct kevent ke;
int i;
while ( !mStopRequested ) {
memset(ke, 0x00, sizeof(kevent));
i = kevent(kq, NULL, 0, ke, 1, NULL);
if ( i == -1 ) {
std::cerr kqueue produced error: strerror(i)
std::endl;
continue; // todo is this the best thing todo?
}
std::cerr Beep: i std::endl;
}
std::cerr Shutting down worker std::endl;[/CODE]
Other thread
[CODE]int fd = open(fileName.c_str(), O_RDONLY);
if ( fd == -1 ) {
std::cerr Failed to open file: fileName Error:
strerror(errno) std::endl;
// todo throw exception
}
struct kevent ke;
EV_SET(ke, fd, EVFILT_VNODE, EV_ADD, NOTE_DELETE | NOTE_RENAME |
NOTE_EXTEND, 0, NULL);
if (kevent(kq, ke, 1, NULL, 0, NULL) == -1) {
std::cerr kevent produced error: strerror(errno)
std::endl;
}[/CODE]
When I run my code the kevent call in the worker code doesn't block at all.
Any ideas what I'm missing? or if what I want to do is even possible?

Re: Using kqueue with 2 threads
I have put together the following example and can still see the problem.
Once the file is written to extended is printed every second. If I remove
the sleep then it prints a whole lot more. So it seems that the call to
kevent in the worker_thread method blocks until the file is written to then
it returns the same event straight away on every call.
Is this expected? Am I meant to clear the event some how?

Hardware support for Shuttle SX38P2 Pro
Hi all, This is the first question I've asked on here, hopefully I've got all the required detail in. I'm thinking of buying a Shuttle SX38P2 Pro (http://www.shuttle.eu/products/mini-pc/sx38p2-pro/specification/) to run FreeBSD 8.1 onwards. I'll be using the machine as a desktop and home server. A bit of coding, nothing special, and running a few jails. But, before making the purchase I want to make sure the hardware is supported. From the Shuttle spec sheet above, the sound card mentions ALC888DD and the FreeBSD supported hardware list states that ALC888 is supported under snd_hda. Is the 'DD' important? Would sound still work? My assumption is that sound would work, but I'd possibly lose the surround sound or something? The NIC appears to be Marvell 88E8056, which seems to have full support using the msk driver. I've never heard of this manufacturer before, there aren't any gotchas I need to be aware of are there? There are two things on the Shuttle spec sheet that I'm unsure of. They are: * Intel X38 Express (MCH) + ICH9R (I/O Conroller Hub) * Intel Matrix Storage Technology I don't really know what either of them are. I'm assuming the Matrix Storage is the RAID controller. Is this supported? If not, I'll just use gmirror, but will obviously have to be able to access the disks in the first instance. From the Shuttle spec sheet, I can't tell what video card is installed. Does anybody know? Is it supported? Initially, I'll be using only one monitor, but would intend to have both outputs in use in the longer term. Sorry, I know there's a lot of questions in there, but I've been unable to find the answered for myself so far. If anyone could shed any light on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Re: Replacing base NTP with ports NTP
On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 8:06 AM, David Rawling d...@pdconsec.net wrote: About 3 months ago I built myself a time server using 8.0-RC3, IIRC, and I upgraded to 8.0-RELEASE (and now -p2). Naturally, as I want this server to provide time services, I've installed the net/ntp port, among others. Recently, for reasons that have become lost in the mists of time, I noticed that I wasn't running the port version of NTP (/usr/local/sbin/ntpd), but the version installed with the base system (/usr/sbin/ntpd). For the immediate term, I've renamed the base versions of the files in /usr/sbin, and then symlinked to the port version (in /usr/local) - ntpd is now the ports version, as are most of the tools. This does, however, seem like a rather silly way of getting the most current NTPd running. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the Ports version of NTP to overwrite the base system's NTP. Yet I'm sure (since there *is* a port of NTP) there must be a better way to do this. Can anyone point me in the direction of some documentation? David- I'm not going to claim that this is the best way either, but if you're doing source installs you could just set WITHOUT_NTP=true in /etc/src.conf to disable the installation of the system one. You can use man src.conf to find out more about this. I stop installations of a bunch of standard services this way -- lpr, bind, nis, sendmail, etc. make delete-old from your source build will clean up those files that are no longer used.

Re: denying spam hosts ssh access - good idea?

Anton- In the general theme of this thread -- not answering your question, but providing an alternate solution -- sshguard from ports work fantastically for me. It interfaces with both ipfw and pf firewalls (I use it with pf) and has builtin timeout. I use syslog on several machine behind my firewall to forward SSH authentication failures to my FreeBSD firewall that uses PF and it quickly identifies and blocks bruteforce attacks. From my syslog.conf: !sshd auth.info @wall The handy thing here is that it has builtin timeout rules so if you do something silly and block yourself out temporarily, it'll eventually straighten itself out.

Odd behavior with volume labels and gmirror

Insult to injury, I *may* have a drive going bad (ad18), but given what was happening with the mounting, I'm not really sure. I used recoverdisk to dup that disk to the others and it seemed to work fine, but during the label problem I was getting some READ_DMA errors trying to rebuild the mirror. I guess my question is, is using labels on mirrors unreliable since the labels write through and apparently can get detected from the devices before the mirror is loaded? Or is this a bug that I should file a pr for? Thanks for your attention.

BrgdsDino
Dino-
Default behavior for FTP is that you open connection to server on port
20 and then server opens a connection back to you on another port,
basically. This means that when you have the firewall active your
blocking this inbound connection on the alternate port. The easiest
way to work around this and to get the security of having a firewall
running is to use PASSIVE mode in your FTP client, which basically
indicates that the client will open a second connection to the server:
$ fetch -p ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/bash/FAQ
There's also an environment variable (FTP_PASSIVE_MODE) that you can
set to default to passive FTP. See fetch(3), but basically set it to
anything besides no to set the default.
Cheers,
Ben

usb disk mount troubles under freebsd4.9
worked fine in tests on freebsd7, but the disk failed to mount on a production server running (ouch) 4.9 :( Originally I simply ran newfs -L. later i tried many things like using another box (which actually had sysinstall unlike the 4.9) and slice and partition and label the disk over again. still, it would not mount on the 4.9 box.

tcl84 on FreeBSD 6.2 make error (new user)
G'day all, I'm sorry but I am new to FreeBSD, and I am not sure what tcl84 is, but when I tried to install gdal, using portmanager after many hours it told me that tcl84 had an error, so that was that. when I went to ports/lang/tcl84 and tried make install clean it didn't work either. there were lots of errors like /usr/ports/lang/tcl84/work/tcl8.4.14/unix/libtcl84.so: undefined reference to 'sin' (or 'cos' or 'tan') so I'm guessing that there is some mathematical thing that it needs, but nearly every package I have tried to build from ports seems to require this tcl at some point, so my first few days of FreeBSD are not going as well as I hoped... after much documentation searching and googling etc, I come to this point for help (at least on how to get more help) cheers Ben ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD/Samba issue
I have a situation where we are using a samba file server 3.0.23d with WINS enabled on FreeBSD 5.4. When the WINS is enabled in Samba the user (Windows) PCs are having problems resolving other PCs on the network (using NetBIOS), example: pinging user from a user PC is resolving to user.com and returning the external IP. Removing the reference to the WINS on the PC fixes this. Pinging user from the FreeBSD box (with Samba on or off) returns the external address to user.com also. Any other FreeBSD box (on other LANs) doesn't seem to do this. Can this be changed?

I am trying to get Skype or Vonage softphone(via wine) working on my
notebook.
My problem is getting the input from the mic to the application.
The mic is working because I can talk and hear the sound via the
external speakers. If (on command line mixer) I turn the rec and
igain to 0 the I CAN still hear any sound I make via the mic on the
attached speakers. If I turn mic to 0 then I cannot hear any sound I
make via the mic on the attached speakers.

I don't claim know enough about this to make instructions but after
booting into single user mode (and I am sure after the reboot) I
found that I was still running my 5.4 kernel.
I decided to try make installkernel and reboot again which fixed the
version for me.
Just my two cents...

I don't trust the results unless I let it run for at least 8 hours. _Any_ errors are bad, especially on a server.

Mem-map was set to 'auto' - when I set it to 'all' the screen immediately filled with errors and 'probe' froze the machine instantly. I think (hope?) these failures represent something odd, but not broken, in my laptop's bios rather than a real memory error, so I'm provisionally eliminating memory failure as the cause of my file corruption.

Files bigger than ~2GB would *seem* to be corrupted. I suspect its the hard disk drive, because lowering the ATA bus speed (atacontrol mode ad0 UDMA33) made this problem go away (the drive is a SAMSUNG SP1614N TM100-24). This problem occurred with different motherboard chipsets and different versions of FreeBSD (5-stable, 6-PRERELEASE), so I really think it is the hard disk drive. Thanks very much. In my case the files involved are very small, and it seems to be only one file at the moment, so I am hold out the hope that you're wrong - but I'll certainly check in case you're right. Could anyone give me a hint as to how to get started checking the hardware? It's a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop.

You might want to have a gander at Memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/, /usr/ports/sysutils/memtest86) for memory testing, I reckon this should be your first port of call. Thanks a lot for the advice. Unfortunately I can't run it as I have no floppy drive (unless there's another way? I seem to remember it's possible to make a bootable usb flash drive...).

One file I tried uploading with two different gui ftp clients and via command line, in ascii, binary and auto mode, and again the same thing happened each time - my browser complained of unknown ascii characters and kate (text editor) told me it was a binary file even though it looked ok. I tried changing the encoding and that made no difference. I am actually quite worried now. There seems to be something holding all these occurences together, but I can't quite work out what it is.

Hello, I want to backup certain parts of my system regularly, so I made a directory which reflects the filesystem: backup/ etc/ - link to /etc usr/ home/ me/ somefile - link to some specific file in my home directory public_html/ various_links_to/ - directories_which/ - really_exist_in_my/ - public_html/ - Basically it's a collection of symlinks to stuff I want backed up. Then I run tar -cLvy -f /usr/home/me/backup/backup.tar.bz2 /usr/home/me/backup/source/ When source/usr/home/me/public_html is empty then it runs fine. But when I put any links in, tar dies with a segmentation fault. Has anyone got any ideas why?

6.0-release remote x application failure to open display
Hi all, I think this is probably a simple question, but I do not recall having any difficulties on 5.2.1 or 5.3-beta3, which are the other versions that I had run on this box. I recently have performed a clean install of 6.0-release on this machine, on a new hard drive, and then copied over the data and some configuration files (ssh keys, etc.) from the old hard drive (it is a slow machine, so I didn't want to build current). Having done so, I then tried to login remotely to this machine and run xmms (it is mostly used as my music server), which failed with this error: ** CRITICAL **: Unable to open display I have tried with passing the -X flag, and with passing the -Y flag to ssh, but there is no change in behaviour. Is there something that I have forgotten to enable, or is this unexpected?

Asus P5MT-M and FreeBSD 6.0
I am attempting to install 6.0 Stable on an Asus P5MT-M motherboard (Intel ICH7R), which contains onboard SATA RAID bios (LSI MegaRAID). Standard sysinstall in call cases. I am noticing several inconsistencies: 1) When SATA is in Enhanced mode, no drives are detected. 5.4 detects both drives just fine 2) When SATA is in RAID mode, no drives are detected, 5.4 yields the same results. 3) When SATA is in Compatible mode, *one* drive is detected, AND a raid volume is also detected (but in degraded status). 5.4 detects these just fine. Ideally, installing 6.0 (or even 5.4) using the RAID function would be preferred. Any suggestions? Ben House Unified Network Services Inc.

Re: OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 JDK issue
I know there has been a lot of activity on the mailing lists these days regarding JDK and OOo. From what I could gather, most of it is regarding keeping it working after the update of JDK14. In any event, I was installing OOo-2.0 for the first time, and the build failed. The error message is below and involves JDK-1.4. I figured that this would either be fixable or it would give additional information that could lead to solving some of the previously mentioned problems on the list. Thank you all for your assistance. I am running FreeBSD 6.0- STABLE. A part of my script nuked the output after it failed, so I only have the output from script. My googling led me to believe that it's to do with a problem in jdk patchset 8 for freebsd. Ive had exactly the same problem and ended up installing vi pkg_add :-( Seems like the best solution would be to let it use jdk15, but it doesn't seem to want to play.

My question is where do these public keys go on a freebsd 6.0 box? Is there any special stuff from an experienced user I should know?

So I install firefox from /usr/ports/www/firefox on freebsd 6.0 and I assumed that it was 1.5. The info on the web said that 1.5 was in the ports collection but the source ball in the ports dir was for 1.0.7 and I have seen people with questions about firefox 1.5. I have used each of the methods suggested in the handbook for upgrading the ports tree but the source has stayed for 1.0.7. Is this a case of have to install it from the source on the mozilla web site? Is there any easy way to install firefox 1.5?

pccard modem unable to allocate fast interrupt
Hi all I have an IBM pcmcia data/fax modem (US Robotics technology) -- V.34 33.6 Kbps/56 Kbps with XJack Connector that probes in dmesg as sio4. However, the scan also yields the following message: sio4: unable to activate interrupt in fast mode -- using normal mode which seems to come from src/sys/dev/sio/sio.c, indicating that my modem supports INTR_TYPE_TTY but not INTR_FAST. What is the significance of INTR_FAST, and could its absence cause any difficulties in using ppp? I don't really want to do much research at the moment since I'm on dial-up, and I don't have local access to the src tree, only the cgiweb applet. (Incedentally, my problem with ppp is that after entering username and password, I get some info, such as an IP address, but ppp does not return to a prompt -- it seems to hang; this happens at 115200 and 38400 baud (or the recommended values near those if my memory fails me), so I don't think it's a speed problem) Sorry I don't have more info about the modem, but since WinXP can't mount ufs, I don't have a good way to get, say, dmesg or pciconf information about this card. The numbers on the outside of the card are: 10661AS723YF IBM Modem FRU: 04K0054 Googling these didn't reveal anything terribly helpful, though it implied that this chipset was actually a winmodem, which would be surprising.

Start wpa_supplicant on boot without dhclient

However, I can't figure out how to start it without dhclient also running on boot. Since I don't always boot near an AP, this isn't appropriate. If I use network_interfaces=lo0 ath0 ifconfig_ath0=WPA DHCP then it starts wpa_supplicant, and immediately starts dhclient as well. If I take out DHCP network_interfaces=lo0 ath0 ifconfig_ath0=WPA then wpa_supplicant doesn't start dhclient when it gets a connection I can get something close to the right behavior by setting network_interfaces=lo0 ifconfig_ath0=WPA DHCP This way, wpa_supplicant doesn't start on boot, but I can start it after boot with /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start ath0 and get the right behavior.
