firefox: after update - version 23: can not swap tabs
After the last major update of www/firefox to version 23 firefox rejects of moving/swapping the tabs. They are static now. I do not know whether this has to do with the great pixman update, because coincidentally I made bot the pixman update and the update of firefox towards revision 23 slipped in. My ports system and the ports are kept up to day on a almost every-two-day basis or at least weekly. The underlying OS is now FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #1 r256384: Sat Oct 12 18:34:38 CEST 2013 amd64. The question is: is this a kind of miscompilation or has there something minor changed and I didn't noticed that? User error? If some has a tip or hint, I'll appreciate it. Please CC me, I do not subscribe this list. Regards, Oliver signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Migration TeX/LaTeX: from teTeX -- TeXlive
I use for my day to day work teTeX, but I run more and more into several limitations due to the fact, teTeX isn't any more (and regretably) maintained/developed by Th. Esser (that is what I know). Well, TeXlive is now in the ports tree, but I had recently on a server, on which I tried to migrate, massive problems with the most recent CURRENT, where gcc is completely gone (luckily) and converters/iconv has been removed. I can not clearly say what causes the problems, since there seem to be remains of teTeX in the system, but they are needed for some essential facilities and I do not dare ripping them off. Before I start time consuming experiments, I'd like to ask whether there is a smooth way of migration. And for that, please enlighten me how I can extract those ports installed and needed by teTeX (a kind of port-traceback of required ports) and delete them, as far as they do not share common being required by xxx port, too.

trouble with PostgreSQL 9.2 on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT: superuser can not autheticate anymore with md5 password hash set
For the past I ran PostgreSQL 9.2 servers on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT successfully. But by now, out of the blue, login as the database's supervisor pgsql remotely isn't possible any more. The appropriate lines in pg_hba.conf are: local all pgsql md5 hostssl all pgsql 0.0.0.0/0 md5 The funny thing is: when login locally without providing a password (swap md5 to trust in the local line) and setting the password for the role pgsql via ALTER ROLE pgsql ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'FooMe; or doing the same via pgadmin3 from remotely by also swapping md5 to trust in the line hostssl for global network, it seems I could alter/change the password for the supervisor pgsql. But restoring the password check by setting back md5 leaves me locked out! By the way, this strange behaviour occurs on ALL(!) PostgreSQL 9.2 servers running on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT boxes. Ports databases/postgresql-XXX as well as FreeBSD is as of the latest sources and up to date. What is going wrong? Please CC me. Regards, Oliver signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Well, even if not ENCRYPTED it doesn't work anymore and prior to this failure, the passwords were stored md5 hashed via pgadmin3 all the time - and it worked. I made now another test. On a FreeBSD 9.2 box which is also running PostgreSQL 9.2 and to which I have access the way that is now rejected by the others, I did a login as the supervisor (pgsql) successfully and then set the password for that supervisor again with alter role pgsql with encrypted password 'FooMe'; (FooMe was the passowrd used before on the same system, it worked definitely) and - booom - I can not login anymore onto that machine!

mail/claws-mail: INBOX shows still moved or deleted mails, filtering not working properly
After a struggle with OpenLDAP and Thunderbird (core dumps all over the place when using Thunderbird with OpenLDAP backed users), I moved to Evolution, which is unsatisfying, since calendar function immediately makes Evolution crahs on all tested FreeBSD platforms (9.1-STABLE, 10.0-CURRENT). I tried mail/claws-mail for now and I'm surprised how cryptic and fast an email client can be, but I also have serious struggles with this email client. When fetch and filtering Emails from the account of our computer center's IMPA4 mail servers, the moved and even deleted emails remain visible (but greyished) in the INBOX or any other folder and marked deleted. Filtered and filter induced moves of mails also are greyed, still visible in the main INBOX of the email account but marked with the flag for new mail in INBOX. I can not delete them from INBOX. This behaviour is odd. I searched Grand Master Google for that and found relatively old bug reports about such behaviour, but that should be solved. I exclude misconfigurations, since I already configured those immediate actions as recommended. Nor Evolution nor thunderbird show that weird behaviour and they operate as expected on all mail actions. Maybe someone could give me a hint what to check. Personally, I consider this behaviour a bug and renders another email client unusable on FreeBSD, but I might be terribly wrong here and still suffer from a configuration inconvenience.

PostgreSQL 9.2: database replication on demand - easy way (Bucardo in ports not available)
Dear Sirs. I send my question to this list in the hope someone has the same problems and already found a solution. I will start explaining the background and my difficulties with recent solutions. We/I have a FreeBSD 10 box running a PostgreSQL 9.2 server containing literature references via RefDB, some sort of bugtracking via Bugzilla, several astronomical databases of the IAU (minor planet objects) and others. Those databases are kept and maintained on one single box at the department. Since a lot of the data is needed in my home office or at a lab with non-permanent internet connection, I desperately need to synchronize the databases kept on the master with some backup database systems acting as master/slave when they are online. The latter definition is fuzzy, since what I need is an automated synchronization of the real master with a sporadically upcoming slave at home or at field sites for my science where, as said, the internet connectivity isn't provided 24/7. I feel realy uncomfortable with the built-in streaming replication of PostgreSQL 9.2 since I never managed it to make a successful replication. As far as I understand, the streaming mechanism of PostgreSQL 9.X expects the slaves to be always online, to which the replication. I was said that Bucardo (http://bucardo.org/) would be the tool of choice, but FreeBSD ports seem not not have this tool. SLONY also is a way to complicated for my for just this task - or I'm to dumb to perform a solution that fits easily. Is someone out here who might have the same problems and already figured out how to solve this? I do not want to go into this crap pg_dump, since I tried this many times and it failed due to some issues I never figured out why in PostgreSQL 9.2. Sorry being unspecific here, it is a long time since I tried this frustrating task and it boiled always down to some confusing postgres/template1 issues when dumping the master and trying to update the slave. Even following the textbook's suggestions ended up in a mess. Well, I appreaciate some hints and concepts (working, not hypothetical could be's, those are floating enough around the FreeBSD related net).

databases/postgresql: simple mirroring of a database or a whole server
Hello list. First, please set me CC, i do not subscribe this list. I'd like to ask for a mirroring solution of an important databse on my installations across at least three boxes. The setup is as follows. Operating system is FreeBSD 10.0/amd and 9.1-STABLE/amd64. A top of the OS there is on all machines in question port databases/postgresql92-server|client running. I have a database that needs to be synchronized/mirrored. A data consistency in a narrow timeframe isn't necessary. The database in question is a very important literature reference db which is maintained via a web interface and this is done mostly from a private box at home, which changes the local database set. This database is also used at the lab. Usually, I have to dump the db, send it via ssh/scp over the net to the target machine and restore it - and this at least three times. Since network connectivity isn't available for some technical reasons when I maintain the local db at home, this task is a pain, if I forget to dump/restore the database. The task maintaining the databases like that isn't appreciable. So, I looked out for a mirroring solution. I came across SLONY I/II, but I feel not very comfortable with the complicated setup. Although having had a howto, it dind't work properly. So I'm looking for something more simple. The data consistency within short timeframes isn't so important, so a mission critical mirroring isn't necessary. But I would be feel better having something more automatic that is synchronizing more than two or three machines automatically when network connectivity is available. Is there a solution - easy task - to handle such a scenario? Thanks in advance, Oliver signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

FreeBSD: GIT instaed of SVN?
When it comes to keeping sources, most developer and most large dislocated and non-centralized projects prefer GIT over Subversion. FreeBSD has moved from the ancient CVS to Subversion not long ago and I was wondering why freeBSD would have done this, since Subversion lacks in so many aspects of a modern revision system. Well, I face several odds now since I need a kind of hot replication system that replicates my Subversion repositories and I feel uncomfortable with the way Subversion performs this. I decided to move forward to GIT which seems more appropriate in any aspect and while I do not have so much legacy to carry on with, I think for me pesonally the move is more logical. But what is with the FreeBSD project? Are there any attempts or intentions to bring GIT also to the sources (the base system, the ports)? oh signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
PPPOED: reading data of line quality from the A/DSL modem
When using modern SoGo A/DSL routers, most devices do have fancy GUIs and information screens about the settings of the device and especially the line quality, like SNR, dampening et cetera. In my private office, I've setup a FreeBSD server acting like a gateway/router, replacing my oldish non-IPv6 capable ADSL modem/router. Using a secondary NIC connecting to the ADSL modem via PPPOED, I'd like to read some of the important statistsics from the device's chipset like line quality informations. Sometimes our line here go bad and with the setup at the moment, I can not check what's wrong. Also, I have no informations about the actual up- and downstream speed, which is also important to me. Since most professional/commercial ADSL routers/modems use opensource software, most prefereably Linux, I was wondering if there isn't a way to achieve those data from FreeBSD as well. I prefer the system's tools in favour over a port installation, but if there is a sophisticated software, I would appreciate a hint or tip. Thanks, Oliver P.S.

I'm sorry to say a lot of USB flash sticks out there are broken and only tested with the timing of MS Windows. Part of the problem is that it is difficult to autodetect these issues, because once you trigger the non- supported SCSI command, then the flash key stops working like you experience. I would be more than glad to open up an office to certify USB devices for use with FreeBSD :-) --HPS I tried the USB drive this morning with the recommended quirk shown above on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #1 r237462: Sat Jun 23 01:00:35 CEST 2012 without success. I get the same error message as shown above. With or without quirk. I then started Windows 7 on the same box. The USB drive is seen as expected and reflects what I experienced on every other non-FreeBSD box and hardware in the lab on last week. I reformatted the USB drive with extFAT and standard block size on Windows 7. The USB drive is now seen again on FreeBSD and recognized as a drive. Seen in my sloppy terminology means: recognized as a disk. The hardware is recognized, but it is not recognized as a drive. The fact, that the very first time after I bought that USB drive, I was able to put several GB on it, use it on both FreeBSD 9-STABLE and 10-CURRENT, and then it broke, drives me nuts. Using the very same pen drive on other OSes even on the same hardware without issues makes me believe FreeBSD does have an issue, not the USB drive. I will fill the USB drive with data and try to use it very often on FreeBSD. Last time the error occured, it was read by a Suse Linux box. If I wouldn't know better I would say Linux tries to kill the USB drive ... But Linux did see it all the time. A usual customer would see it the same way, I guess. I will test and report next week when I have access to the other boxes and OSes again. Regards, Oliver signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
USB system: FreeBSD 9-STABLE and 10-CURRENT do not recognize 64GB USB drive while Linux and Windows do
I have a USB drive/stick, Lexar USB Flash drive as reported by FreeBSD shown below. When first used, I was able to put approx. 30 GB of data on it - it was visible to FreeBSD 9 and 10 as expected. A Linux system at the lab was also capable of recognizing it. After that, I tried to operate on the stick on a Notebook, FreeBSD 9, and another station, FreeBSD 10. But FreeBSD didn't recognize the USB drive anymore - sometimes, but this seems to be a gambling issue :-( Trying Linux on different hardware platforms and even those machines prior not recognizing the USB drive do recognize the drive as Lexar USB Flash drive with 64GB. That is Suse Linux (some 12.XX), that is Ubuntu 12.04, that is Windows 7 Pro/x64. I can format the drive, I can push and pull data from it. So, since the USB drive won't work with three different FreeBSD boxes (one running 9-STABLE, two 10-CURRENT, all systems most recent sources and buildworld from a day ago). I suspect either a weird configuration issue I use on all platforms in questions in common triggering the weird beviour - or FreeBSD is simply incapable of handling the 64GB drive. I do not have issues with USB drives with capacities of 32, 8 or 4 GB of different brands. As shown in the portion of the dmesg below, the USB drive is recognized physically. It doesn't matter whether USB port I use (I tried all available on all boxes and in most cases I use a Dell UltraSharp powered in-screen HUB). Since other OSes handle the drive as expected, I exclude hardware issues. All FreeBSD in common is the fact I use the new device ahaci/device ata CAM/ATA scheme with devcie scbus in the kernel (I use custom kernels!).

FreeBSD 10/9: Lexar 64GB JumpDrive USB 2.0 isn't recognized anymore!
I have a Lexar 64GB USB 2.0 JumpDrive which worked in its pristine or virgine state very well. I used it yesterday, brand new, to fill it up with data. Some 30GB data got stored, I shut down the system (FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64) and this morning, I put the USB drive out of the USB port (computer off) and took it to the office. At the office, neither a FreeBSD10.0-CURRENT box nor a FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE box (both moth recent buildworld) where able to recognize the drive! While the USB drive was recognized as /dev/da1s1 before, this time I see in the console something like this: ugen7.6: Lexar at usbus7 umass1: Lexar USB Flash Drive, class 0/0, rev 2.00/11.00, addr 6 on usbus7 And nothing further anymore. On a Linux box (Suse) the USB drive can be read as well as on a Windows 7 box (I only read the content, I didn't write onto the USB drive on both systems). What is up? Since Windows and Linux can read/recognize the drive and FreeBSD not, I guess FreeBSD does have a problem with that kind of 64GB drive. I do not care of the data on the USB drive, so I'd like to GPART it. But without having a device node created, this is very unlikely to achieve. Any suggestions?

Your mk files in /usr/share/mk are out of synch with your build tree.
If you opt out of using buildworld, then you need to do 'make -C

My problems became more desperate.
Since May, 15th, I'm unable to compile a buildworld and I suspect I
messed up my OS somehow.
I have already completely deleted /usr/src and checked out via SVN again.
Deleting /etc/src.conf and /etc/make.conf, performing buildworld with
the system's original make.conf (using the legacy GCC 4.2.1) ends up
with the below shown error.
Try to compile with CLANG as suggested via the Wiki page and the
attached /etc/src.conf gives a very short approach in how to trap into a
error, also shown below.
My problems occured around the May, 15th and hit ALL of my FreeBSD
10-CURRENT/amd64 boxes on which I do most time daily buildworld. Two of
them could be fixed, I did this two days ago by
cd /usr/src
make installincludes
make -C {lib|libexec|sbin ...} clean cleandepend depend obj all install
On one specific machine it didn't work that way. I found out that
several binaries in the system's tree remained dated on 15th May, so
like ld or other essential pieces. Therefore I suspect a crushed system.
Does anyhow do have any idea how to repair the system? I can compile a
kernel, but I can not compile ports (or even update them, I receive
multiple weird errors of missing header files or changed libstdc++.so.
The idea was to take a very recent binary installation set and install
this selective peice by piece over the existing installation, but I need
to preserve /etc and other directories. Any ideas ?
Help is appreciated and thanks in advance,
Oliver

CURRENT: buildworld fails
Since approx. a week for now, I can not build FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64
anymore! This happens to be on ALL(!) FreeBSD 10 boxes around here I
maintain.
Build is usually performed with CLANG, but also legacy gcc 4.2.1 build
do fail.
The error is always the same, as documented below.
I allow to build with WITH_BSD_SORT in /etc/src.conf.
CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS are set to -pipe -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing
-march=native when compiling with CLANG, otherwise the standard is used
as introduced by the vanilla sources.
What I tried so far:
a) build and install kernel - works
b) build and install /usr/src/lib via make clean cleandepend depend obj
all install doesn't work anymore, it fails with
./usr/src/lib/Makefile, line 179: Malformed conditional (${MK_NAND} !=
no)
/usr/src/lib/Makefile, line 181: if-less endif
c) make installincludes from /usr/src works. But it doesn't relief as I
hoped.
As the error below may suggest, there seems to be an issue with the
libstc++ lib.
Building ports also fails due to errors refering to libstdc++.so.
I feel helpless at the moment since the problem seems only to be sticky
with me around here. Do others around here also allow the build of new
C++ stuff with
WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS= YES
in /etc/src.conf?
Regards,
Oliver

Simple questions first just to be sure: You set TERM with the command export TERM=xterm, correct? No extra spaces? Of course, it is either setenv TERM xterm in csh or TERM=xterm in bourne-alike shells. In my FreeBSD driven environment everything is fine and shiny, but when login into a Suse 12.1 box and doing a YAST2, DEL key does not work (produce nothing) and ALT-plus-key doesn't work either. But in several cases, I need to edit lines and confirm those changes with key shortcuts like ALT-e, for instance for enable is much appreciated than hopping around with the TAB key. And you are using xterm (not rxvt)? No, pure and plain and conservative xterm as it comes with the port and no extravagant terminal thingy. What happens when you use the DEL key? Except in YAST/YAST2, it works as expected ... I'm not familiar with YAST. Are you having problems at a normal shell command line, or are you having problems in something run from a shell? I'm also not familiar with YAST (I start hating this crap), but I need it since I have not the scientific support on FreeBSD platforms I need as I have on Linux (we run TESLA driven boxes acting as supercomputers.

print/cups: CUPS-1.5.0 IPP protocoll issues - no printing possible on IPP capable network printers
We use a bunch of HP and Xerox printers across our network, all capable of being accessed via network over IPP protocoall (so they claim). Printing worked for me flawless on FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE, 9.0-CURRENT, now 9.0-STABLE on all boxes in question. Since updating cups to revision 1.5.0 (this is the most recent port version and I recently updated/recompiled the port and dependencies for all parts of CUPS either with CLANG and GCC 4.2.1), I get massive problems accessing printers on the network. Most HP printers accept a print job, but after accepting, CUPS reports printer has been stopped, can not obtain printer status. The job remains in the queue. Then I restart printer via CUPS, print job gets printed, but immediateley after printing has finished, the same problem occurs again: printer stopped - can not get printer status. Job remains still in the queue. Restarting printer via CUPS will start the game again, with the result of printing endless the same job, first in queue. I have to check whether the printer indeed has printed the job, delete the first queue entry, restart the printer again to get next job started ... and so on. A similar game on the Xerox printer facility. The printer reports Unablae to get printer status, printing is here impossible! The XEROX printer is now attached to a Linux print server box running CUPS, an older CUPS on something like CentOS, I do not know what crap is running on the hardware. But: the printer works fine with older CUPS! Digging the internet revealed an issue reported in an Ubuntu forum/list, I already filed a PR (ports/164759). The Ubuntu report is about to be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/877958 I was wondering if this patch, whatever the Ubuntu fellows patched, couldn't be introduced to FreeBSD's CUPS port. Well, sorry about my impatience, but I'm floating like a dead man in the water, since I have to prepare printouts for a conference and printing is some kind of neurological point around here.

I looked for include statements in GENERIC, but didn't find one. I use custom kernel config files and adapt most changes from the NOTES files in the sources tree. With the today's update of README in /sys/amd64/conf I realised some important changes, so this triggered my question. I simply made an additional include in the custom config file, but if this isn't necessary, I'll delete it again. And I'm interested in how the kernel is built from.

As far as I know, Yahoo! is one of the more popular and bigger, if not the biggest and last stronghold of a FreeBSD driven infrastructure. Despite the fact that even Google funded lots of coding for FreeBSD, I had the impression that Yahoo! might be one of the biggest contributor. And not to mention the psychological effect of hearing that such a company is utilizing a project like FreeBSD for potential newcomers in the business. So, what is about the future of FreeBSD? Does FreeBSD have a site where all the goods that has been first invented by the FreeBSD/BSD folks or all the things that are thought about to come in future are shown/listed?

Dell Poweredge 1950 III (PE_SC3): replacement SAS controller to acceess drives = 3TB
Hello out there. We run a Dell PowerEdge 950 III (PE_SC3) Server with FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE. This Server is equipted with a SAS controller, residing, as far as I could observe, on a PCIe slot. Its kernel message is: mpt0: LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xfc4fc000-0xfc4f,0xfc4e-0xfc4e irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 mpt0: [ITHREAD] mpt0: MPI Version=1.5.14.0 mpt0: Capabilities: ( RAID-0 RAID-1E RAID-1 ) mpt0: 0 Active Volumes (2 Max) mpt0: 0 Hidden Drive Members (14 Max) The pciconf -lcv output is as: mpt0@pci0:1:0:0:class=0x01 card=0x1f101028 chip=0x00581000 rev=0x08 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)' device = 'SAS 3000 series, 8-port with 1068E -StorPort' class = mass storage subclass = SCSI cap 01[50] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 10[68] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 256(4096) link x4(x8) cap 05[98] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 11[b0] = MSI-X supports 1 message in map 0x14 enabled ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 0 corrected This controller obviously isn't capable of handling 3TB harddrives and I need it to be replaced - but I do not know what type and brand of controller is suitbale for the Dell PowerEdge III. We already contacted our support, but they rejected support, since the BIOS of this server isn't capable of booting off 3 TB harddrives due to the 32bit limitations. Well, I need the controller to attach 3 and 4 TB drives, we still boot off from legacy BIOS capable 2,2 TB drives, so I see no issue to replace the SAS controller. I'm a bit afraid of buying something out of the blue since the dimensions of this little controller board seems small. I hope someone already made a decission to buy such a replacement for their similar or exact the same system and can help me out. We do not need RAID, nor SAS 2.0 capabilities, just JBOD.

Heavy I/O blocks FreeBSD box for several seconds
When performing an update on the ports tree via portsnap fetch update or when checking out (or) large Subversion repositories or when copying large data files (~ 50 to 250 GB in size, results from numerical modelings) or when compiling world, FreeBD 9.0 and FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE tend to freeze for several seconds or drop overall performance dramatically for seconds. On boxes with only console- or terminal access (no GUI) a running 'vi' gets stuck for seconds while one of the processes producing heavy I/O is running, or the output of a 'cat' of a large file stops for several seconds. Using X11, this phenomenon gets even worse and the 'freezing' tends to persist sometimes for more than 10 or 15 seconds. The boxes in question are all 64Bit, do have 2 to 8 CPUs/cores (no SMT) and not less than 8 GB of RAM (the 8 core box is a dual socket Dell server with two 4-core C2D-type XEON CPUs and 16 GB of RAM). All these boxes uses ZFS filesystems for data along with UFS2 for the OS. On a notebook with a relative modern Core-5 dual core CPU and 4 GB RAM (running FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64), not ZFS, all UFS, with a 500GB harddrive at 5400 upm (Dell Latitude E6510), this phenomenon is even worse. Heavy disk I/O blocks the GUI for nearly half a minute, even when no X11 is activated, the console gets stuck for a while. First I thought this could be a problem with the slow harddrive, but I tried also a Linux Ubuntu 11.04 on the box and forcing heavy I/O by copying the large files in question from one location on the disk to another is performed even faster and without any freezing of a console or GUI (used EXT4 filesystem). I'm curious about this behavior. I use FreeBSD as my favourite HPC platform as far as this is possible with FreeBSD, but I realized this bottleneck when it comes to heavy I/O and I'd like to know whether this is only a superficial phenomenon (like caused by the outdated X11 version FreeBSD use or a low priorized tty handling, means only the observer realize a performance drop). I've got not the time to investigate this deeper (I'd like to perform some benchmarks on the notebook if it is available again, but my knowledge on Linux/Ubuntu is very limited and the how-to setting up FreeBSD and Linux to match each other on the same hardware could be tricky). My kernel setups on FreeBSD are mostly the GENERIC kernel with extracted drivers I do not use (like some USB devices, SAS/SCSI adaptors etc. we do not use, et cetera), nothing special. Either way I follow the tips presented in tuning(7) or not, the phenomenon is present.

I've also had (and still having) this problem on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE and 8-STABLE with both UFS and ZFS. Though, i've been running FreeBSD not on powerful servers, but on laptops (2-core CPU's, 2 GB of RAM). But still, KDE4 on Linux performs much better during high disk IO. I read about issues with the old codebase of X11 in FreeBSD's ports used, which could be the cause of some performance problems, but I wouldn't expect those I/O-triggered blockings on boxes without any GUI. I saw Linux very often performing tremendously better when used as a workstation or desktop, but this is often gained on the costs of other subsystems. I followed a very hard-to-understand discussion about grouping threads related to ttys which seems to get higher priorized in Linux to make the GUI more fluent, but this is definitely on cost of other subsystems, which in consequence gets less priorized. But even without GUI, Linux seems to perform I/O much better on multicore-/multiprocessor boxes than FreeBSD *.X and 9.X). Today I looked at some benchmarks performed by Phoronix/openbenchmark.org (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=freebsd8_ubuntu910num=9) and it seems that threaded I/O is an issue in FreeBSD (compared to Linux). I have no glue how to tune those bottlenecks away in FBSD. I use SCHED_ULE on all machines, since it is supposed to be performing better on multicore boxes, but there are lots of suggestions switching back to the old SCHED_4BSD scheduler.

devel/anjuta: creating project does not offer project's dialog.
Using Anjuta as my potentially IDE, I realize a weird behaviour since my last try years ago. Anjuta was supposed to show a dialog about when creating a new project. Documentation explicitely mention this. But in my case (a newly installed anjuta), selecting a C-project, GTK+, then ends up in the final requester Summary. Confirmation does not even show any created files or something else. This happens with all potentially to be created projects. Importing a hand-installed GNU autotools backed up project works fine, superficially spoken. The boxes running Anjuta are all AMD64 and running most recent FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64. Version of ports anjuta is reported to be 2.32, but webpage of the anjuta project reports 2.28. Am I missing something?

Dell PowerEdge 1950: MPT0 doesn't recogniz hard drive 2TB
On a Dell PowerEdge 1950, BIOS from 2007, a freshly installed WD 3 TB SATA 6GB harddrive doesn't get recognized as 3 TB disk, it is reported as 2TB disk only. The box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE (see below the dmesg excerpt). The drive is configured as ZFS pool on top of a GPT partition. I tried the 3 TB harddrive on a FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT box with Intel ICH10R SATA chipset and it worked fine, was reported as 2.7TB drive as expected. I found some postings concerning mptutil not dealing with HD 2TB, but this issue seems not to be a tool-issue. Questions: a) Is this an issue of FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE or is it a firmware/BIOS issue which can be solved? b) regarding to a), how can I update the BIOS/MPT firmware of the Dell PowerEdge 1950? Is there an option to do this via USB? As I said, the firmware is quite old, it's from 2007. Thanks in advance, Oliver == Copyright (c) 1992-2011 The FreeBSD Project.

Dell PowerEdge 1950 with LSI SAS1068E/aka DeLL SAS-6 HBA: howto update firmware with FreeBSD?
We run a Dell PowerEdge 1950 Server which is equipted with a LSI Logic LSISAS1068E SAS HBA, branded as a Dell SAS-6 HBA (MPT). The firmware is dated to 2007 and is not capable of handling hard disks larger than 2 TB. We got now a 3 TB SATA harddrive (WD WD30EZRX) which doesn't get recognized properly and is traeted as a 2TB disk. I found at Dell's website a proper firmware for this type of SAS controller, but I wasn't able to flash a new firmware (firmware found at http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=uscs=19l=ens=dhsdeviceid=13856libid=46releaseid=R197383vercnt=3formatcnt=0SystemID=PWE_1950servicetag=os=WNETosl=encatid=-1dateid=-1typeid=-1formatid=-1impid=-1checkFormat=true). This fails. The windows alternative is not applicable, how should it ... A FreeDOS solution - like LSI Logic offers - is obviously not in sight at Dell, the offer a RedHat only solution. I tried with a FedoraLive CD (Fedora15, 64Bit), but the process fails either with a non-found builVer.sh-error or, when using a emergency-Linux CD like Knoppix 6.4.4 (famous in Germany), it's missing some utilities (rpm, stty or whatsoever). So, I'm floating like a dead man in the water, having a full old 2 TB harddrive, an exchange 3TB harddrive which is recognized as 2 TB harddrive and no chance to update the controller's firmware. Is anybody out here with a solution under FreeBSD? The box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE with a most recent buildworld. Thanks in advance, Oliver P.S.

I've blown away /usr/obj, did a svn update in /usr/src this morning
(but there were no updates) and issued
make buildworld make buildkernel
Both went well.
But make installkernel still fails installing mps.ko.symbols (which

XIO: fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0
Updating ports and source of my FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64 host, equipted with a AMD/ATi HD4830 graphics board driven by X11 xf86-video-ati driver (which has been recently update as far as I saw), resulted this morning in an 'un-login-able' box. I see the xdm-login requester, but after successfully login, I see for a second the desktop (windowmaker), but X11 immediately dies and resets to the xdm requester again. Login from another box and examining the ~/.xsession-errors shows only this entry: --- foo.bar.org being added to access control list XIO: fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0 after 29 requests (29 known processed) with 0 events remaining. wmaker warning: got signal 15 - exiting... --- Recompiling xdm and xorg-server ( I did this desperately in the first place) didn't help very much. I do not dare to update all the other boxes in my lab, since I suspect a similar problem since they have all the same or similar hardware (AMD graphics hardware, running X11, running FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64). What to do? What changed?

I first removed gstreamer support as well but this does not cause the problem.

Thanks in advance, Sander Hello. I have still this obscure problems. When gettext was updated and we have had to update any dependend port, within this procedure Firefox 3.6 worked correctly as expected. But after the update was performed, everything remained as it was before. I did several times portmaster -f (which is the same as -R with portupgrade) to build every necessary port, but with no effect. I also performed the one-day-taking gettext update and, additionaly, I recompiled every port (nearly 1000 on my systems). No effect. When delegating the client firefox to another X terminal, say to my workstation at home (login with ssh -Y for X11 portforwarding), no problems occur, so I guess the problem is riggered by X11 on the local machine and especially with the ATI radeonhd driver (which does not work correctly on many boxes and with low end Radeon HD 46XX or 47XX cards).

FreeBSD CURRENT custom ISO install image: howto?

He makes install disks possible. I also copied him on this reply. He helped me with making an install disk for my projects and he can most likely point you to his how to methods. Hello out there. Thank you very much. The last time I tried making a install media from a local installation is quite a lot of years since. I found man release(7) very helpful, but at the end it turns out that I didn't understood what is happening. I tried to fullfill all prerequisites needed to make a release, i.e. 1) having a populated /usr/src (SVN managed), I recently made a 'make buildworld', I created a suitable release-folder to chroot to for the release and I issued MAKE_DVD=yes and MAKE_ISOS=yes to ensure the build of ISO images for a DVD. I'll show the command issued at the end. But the build-process seems to drop everything it builds into /usr/src/release (from where the commande 'make release' has to be issued as docuemnted in 'release (7)'. Here's the command: Folders /home/release and /usr/src exists, 'make buildworld' has been issued and successfully finished. The following commands are issued regarding the release (7) manpage: cd /usr/src/release make release SVNROOT=/usr/src NODOC=yes MAKE_DVD=yes MAKE_ISOS=yes\ CHROOTDIR=/home/release BUILDNAME=SOMETHING_NEW I do not ommit TARGET_ARCH and TARGET since I do not crossbuild (I'm on amd64). The outcome is that the make-release process seems to flood /usr/src/release as it never 'chroot' to the given CHROOTDIR. I'm not familiar with this and I exepct this to be a kind of mistake.

Check out the logfile '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' if you see anything unusual. Well, for the untrained eye there seems nothing wrong, except the non-existent acceleration ... see below. Moving windows around now looks like having chunks of video content floating around - as on unaccelerated/slow graphics boards. When looking at the logfile '/var/log/Xorg.0.log', does it say the following; (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration enabled (II) RADEON(0): Set up textured video I see this: (II) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION : 0x00ef00d0 0x001f (II) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION : 0x003f (==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled (EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled Personally, I have built this port with one of the patches removed.

The file patch-src-radeon_driver.c has gone. But the problems still occur (but not that harsh as before). I realize on all AMD driven graphicsystems this bumpyness, even on those graphics cards, HD4830, which are supposed to deliver a acceptable performance for every day's usage, show now a kind of being cut-off and they are no longer faster than the crappy HD4670 or HD4770 which we also use in some FBSD 9.0 boxes. ___ 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

editors/openoffice-org-3.3.0: serious issue with X11
Hello. I just upgraded openoffice-3.2.1 to openoffice-org-3.3.0 and found myself in a serious issue. Opening openoffice works only sporadically, in most cases I get the error: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!/usr/local/openoffice.org-3.3.0/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display: Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option or check permissions of your X-Server (See man X resp. man xhost for details) Deleting .Xauthority or restarting the session via resetting xdm/Xorg or removing ~/.openoffice didn't help anyway.

FreeBSD 9/ZFS: Striped Pool (2 disks) migrating to mirror (onto additional disk)
I've got a problem. For performance reasons I use two 1TB harddrives as a single pool, and as far as I know, ZFS on recent FreeBSD 9/amd64 treats suchs pools 'striped'. Well, I can measure a performance gain in writing and reading. Well, for backup, I use an additional 2TB disk, ZFS, compressed, the backup is done manually via rsync (i'm looking for more suitable simple backup solutions). My question is: is it possible to migrate the two-disk pool without data loss into a mirrored pool by adding the one 2TB-disk?

Just make sure you have less than 2TB total used data on all volumes, and copy the data off the 2TB filessytem onto the striped 1+1TB one before repartitioning and adding the mirrors. zpool attach [-f] pool device new_device The problem is that you cant attach a drive to a vdev that consists of two striped disks. All right, I see there is no way without any kind of trade-off. My thinking was simple, I thought since the two physical 1TB disks build one joint pool of 2TB overall capacity, I could simply 'mirror' this pool to another disk of the same capacity. Is there a way to 'send' via ZFS the data of the pool to the backup disk, like a snapshot from one pool to another one?

subversion authentication via SASL2 using a OpenLDAP backend

CURRENT: Issue with ZFS and 2TB WD HDD (WDC WD20EURS-63Z9B1 80.00A80)
I'm running a newly setup FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64 SMP box. The former OS was FreeBSD 8.1-PRE/amd64. Attached to the system are three WD harddrives with ZFS as filesystem on GPT partitioning scheme. Two 1TB HDD are spanning a volume with 2 TB capacity which is quite fast due to parallel access through ZFS. The underlying layout is, as mentioned, GPT, bot devices are named /dev/ada1p1 and /dev/ada2p1. The thir drive is a WD Caviar Green 2TB HDD acting as a compressed ZFS backup media, also based on a GPT partitioning scheme and known as device /dev/ada3p1. In FreeBSD 8.2-PRE/amd64 I can use the JBOD volume resembled from two 1TB HDD without problems, mounting is all right, dismounting, also with the 2TB HDD, labeld as BACKUP00 volume in ZFS. Doing a zpool export on both ZFS volumes works fine in FBSD 8, importing is also no problem. The system's log does not show any kind of irregularities, errors or something else indicating soemthing weird with one of the three devices. Exporting both volumes in FreeBSD 8 works. But importing them in FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64 as with the most recent make world of today fails on the 2TB HDD (ZFS pool/volume BACKUP00). Issuing zpool import BACKUP00 results in cannot import 'BACKUP': no such pool available and on console I receive message ZFS WARNING: Unable to attach to ada1 But the drive is and was ada3!

You want to override the do-build target, something like:
do-build:
${CSH} ${WRKSRC}/build-script.csh
you can list additional commands as necessary
For the install, do the same with the do-install target. Unless your
install script is particularly long or complicated, it will probably
be best to put it right into the port's Makefile. Then you can use the
INSTALL macros to ensure permissions are set correctly, binaries are
stripped if the user doesn't specify WITH_DEBUG, etc.
If you haven't already, check out the Porter's Handbook - it will
familiarize you with important guidelines and covers a lot of common
problems:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

This is only one small but very effective trap one can step into. There are some other, very serious questions. AMD calims that they made the specs of their 3D chipset internals public. There is OpenCL as an open standard, there is the CLANG/LLVM project even for FreeBSD to become the new standard compiler and, not at last, there is work done on drivers for AMD graphics boards but there is no, not even rudimentary, support for GPGPU.

(or I think may not even contribute to the opencl side at all anymore.. someone correct me) Isn't OpenCL maintained by the Khronos Group? Apple, for instance, develop their own stuff on the basis of OpenCL and LLVM, but they do not publish back to the community, that's right. But this shouldn't be an excuse for the lack of support. to become the new standard compiler and, not at last, there is work done on drivers for AMD graphics boards but there is no, not even rudimentary, support for GPGPU. I preferr a clean open source solution, but at the moment, it seems to be the best and easiest path to switch to an operating system that is fully supported, even 64 bit. Side question - Why care in the least bit about AMD? Their hw sucks and their software is a joke.. (if you bought Evergreen I'm sorry..) Well, look at my first statement. Until now I believe and believed AMD offered more than others of their 3D specs to the open source community, to provide support to real open source GPU drivers. Obviously this isn't true anymore. But why hasn't this been made public? AMD earns a lot of money even from those people like me which remain in the strong believing that they made their contribution to the open source OS community. But at the moment, looking at my hardware running FreeBSD, I realize that I have more and better running hardware based on nVidia and their BLOB than hardware based on AMD. But this is individual. There's no such thing as a complete open source GPGPU solution as of today (to the best of my knowledge) Well, not completely open source, but there is an nVidia CUDA solution even for 64 Bit Linux and none for FreeBSD! And as far as I know, I can use it for free - assuming I run a supported Linux. ./C Oliver ___ 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
