(mutt +) msmtp problem?

9.0-RELEASE: Strange freezing and kernel panics on laptop
Hi, I'm in need of advice. I've recently installed FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 1318) with a good deal of success. However, I've been experiencing a few hiccups, to say the least. The kernel is the GENERIC for the amd64 architecture that comes with the installation images (no funny compilation issues on my part): $ uname -a FreeBSD apeiron 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan 3 07:46:30 UTC 2012 r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 Since I've installed it, the system has been freezing for apparently no reason and, once in a while, rebooting upon a kernel panic. The kernel panics come in two varieties: Fatal Trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode Fatal Trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode I have the dump files. [Concerning the Fatal Trap 12: I ran memtest86+ and everything turned out alright on the memory side.] As for the recurrent freezing, it seems to me (but this is a hunch) that it might be related to wireless card issues (since, for what I can recall, it happens some time after I start having connection issues). Also, every time I do a netif restart, the system just freezes after displaying two lines: bwn0: need multicast update callback TODO: need swap [In order not to raise side issues, I have a fully working LP PHY Broadcom 4312 (except for these issues), and I have hw.bwn.usedma=0 in loader.conf---but the freezing thing happens whether it is set to 1 or 0.] A quick inspection to log files reveals some pattern in /var/log/messages: === Feb 10 19:01:59 apeiron wpa_supplicant[464]: WPA: Group rekeying completed with 68:7f:74:e9:d6:91 [GTK=TKIP] Feb 10 19:22:02 apeiron kernel: bwn0: unexpected NULL ni Feb 10 19:27:07 apeiron syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel [...] Feb 10 19:27:07 apeiron savecore: reboot after panic: general protection fault Feb 10 19:27:07 apeiron savecore: writing core to vmcore.0 Feb 11 21:39:40 apeiron wpa_supplicant[464]: WPA: Group rekeying completed with 68:7f:74:e9:d6:91 [GTK=TKIP] Feb 11 21:39:47 apeiron kernel: bwn0: device timeout Feb 11 21:44:38 apeiron kernel: bwn0: unexpected NULL ni Feb 11 21:44:38 apeiron kernel: bwn0: unexpected NULL ni Feb 11 21:47:33 apeiron syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Feb 12 17:23:47 apeiron wpa_supplicant[464]: WPA: Group rekeying completed with 68:7f:74:e9:d6:91 [GTK=TKIP] Feb 12 18:20:32 apeiron kernel: bwn0: device timeout Feb 12 18:22:23 apeiron kernel: bwn0: unexpected NULL ni Feb 12 18:31:49 apeiron syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel Feb 13 17:16:43 apeiron kernel: bwn0: device timeout Feb 13 17:21:39 apeiron kernel: bwn0: unexpected NULL ni Feb 13 17:22:40 apeiron syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel [...] Feb 13 17:22:40 apeiron savecore: reboot after panic: page fault Feb 13 17:22:40 apeiron savecore: writing core to vmcore.1 Feb 14 11:40:49 apeiron wpa_supplicant[464]: WPA: Group rekeying completed with 68:7f:74:e9:d6:91 [GTK=TKIP] Feb 14 12:02:23 apeiron kernel: bwn0: device timeout Feb 14 12:03:52 apeiron kernel: bwn0: unexpected NULL ni Feb 14 12:12:27 apeiron kernel: , 2265.

RE: Can you ACTUALLY print from FreeBSD?
I'm trying to print from my FreeBSD machine. I've been through a number of online tutorials and instructions on printing from Unix or FreeBSD in particular, but they all seem to start with the assumption that printing from the machine is possible. I'm trying to get to that starting point. I have installed: cups-base-1.3.9_3 Common UNIX Printing System cups-pdf-2.5.0 A virtual printer for CUPS to produce PDF files cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_2 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers gutenprint-cups-5.1.7_3 GutenPrint Printer Driver libgnomecups-0.2.3_1,1 Support library for gnome cups admistration hplip-2.8.2_4 Drivers and utilities for HP Printers and All-in-One device The printer I'm working with is a HP Officejet 4110. There seem to be several issues with printing. First, since this is a USB printer, the pinter is always owned by root:operator with read permissions for user, group, and world. Adding these lines to /etc/devfs.conf link ulpt0 printer own ulpt0 cups:cups perm ulpt0 0666 will set the ownership to cups:cups and the permissions to read and write for user, group, and world on startup if the printer is already turned on and plugged in. However, if the printer is not turned on at startup, or if it is disconnected or turned off after system startup, ownership and permissions revert. Trying chown or chmod to the device at /dev/ulpt0 gives an invalid path error, and trying to do so following the instructions in the man page for devfs give 'operation not supported by device' errors. When th device is owned by root, attempting to print the test page generates a 'permission denied' error in CUPS. When the device is owned by cups, attempting to print the test page generates a failed error in CUPS. When the device is owned by cups, this error is reported in the error log in CUPS, if debug logging is enabled: [CGI] /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll: No such file or directory There isn't a drivers directory in /usr/local/share/cups. I can make one, but where do I get the pscript5.dll, and what else is it going to rely on? CUPS et al were installed using portinstall, and CUPS is working well to produce .pdf files. I tried portupgrade last night on all the (I think) relevant ports, but the system thinks they are all up to date. So, questions: 1. how can I get permissions on the device to stick, so that I do not have to reboot the machine every time we want to print or have to power cycle the printer? You should use /etc/devfs.rules instead, adding something like: add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups This will set the right permissions when the node is created. 2. Am I correct that the missing .dll (that seems awfully Windows to me) is the problem in getting a filter to print? If so, what do I need to do to install it? And, actually, a third printing-related issue: How do I get cupsd to start on startup? I have these two lines in /etc/rc.conf:\ cupsd_enable=YES # enable cups printing management devfs_system_ruleset=system # something else they say cups needs but CUPS has to be manually started by root after each reboot. what else needs to be done to get cupsd to start at startup?

RE: configuring the freebsd boot manager
Hi everyone, I am having some problems understanding how the freebsd boot manager works. I have installed FreeBSD and Linux on the same laptop HD and want to be able to select which one to boot when the computer starts. I installed the bootmanager to to the MBR during installation and when I boot the laptop I am presented with four choices; F1 - FreeBSD F2 - Linux F3 - ??? F4 - Linux but I am only able to select F1, F2-F3 only make the laptop beep and doesnt load anything. The way I have set up the HD is for Partition 1 to be a FreeBSD Slice, Partition 2 the Linux / Partition 3 is Linux swap and Partition 4 is Linux /home. Any help would be great This is a silly question, actually: do you have LILO installed on your Linux boot partition? I have BootEasy on the MBR, and LILO on Linux boot, and it works just fine.

Thanks. Glad it did.

For a device already present at boot time, you would need an entry in devfs.rules. For a device plugged in later, you would instead need devd to know how to handle it. For stuff available at boot you should use devfs.conf. The devfs.rules file is for devices that are plugged in later. Thank you both for taking the time to answer!! Finally, the rule in devfs.rules was ok, but the file itself was a little bit messy.

Cannot perform user mounts after upgrade
I can't perform user mounts for my pendrive, and I used to be able to, before making an upgrade. Moreover, user mounts for both /dev/cd0 and /dev/fd0 are still operational. Root mounts are possible, but it's doesn't strike me as good practice, and it is a little bit of an annoyance. I need help, at least a hint in some direction or other, because at this point I'm clueless. I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2, GENERIC kernel, i386. I just did a major ports updating, including perl-5.8.8 == perl-5.8.9. I ran the perl-after-upgrade script, and warned me about possible problems with /usr/local/sbin/snmpd and /usr/local/sbin/snmptrapd, but nothing else. I also recently installed /usr/ports/misc/compat5x, among other ports. I have some security and related ports installed, but they never caused problems before. The command I used is the expected one: % mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 ~/media/pendrive Now it gives the following (quite uninformative) error: mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: : Operation not permitted Strangely enough, a user mount with a read-only option works just fine: % mount -o ro -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 ~/media/pendrive The mount point still has the same ownership (me) and permissions (755) as before.
