FFMpeg and FreeBSD
Hello Everyone, Does anyone use the latest FFMpeg version 1.2 and FreeBSD? How did you compile it? did you run into any issues?

You need to look a little closer. We have three versions available in ports - multimedia/ffmpeg which is at 0.7.15 multimedia/ffmpeg1 which is at 1.2.1 - updated 2 days ago multimedia/ffmpeg-devel which is an svn snapshot at 2012.10.13 You will find a lot of ports are still configured to use 0.7.15. The main catch is the ports are designed to co-exist so ffmpeg1 has the trailing 1 added to all the lib/cli names. I have had no problems using ffmpeg1 with my version of blender for several months now. It has a cmake option for lib names and then I added include/ffmpeg1 to C/CXXFLAGS and lib/ffmpeg1 to LDFLAGS. Thanks for the info. I did an update of my ports tree last Friday, when I also emailed the maintainer of FFmpeg port. As I received no response, I assumed the port hasn't changed. I just synced my ports and see the 1.2.1 in ffmpeg1 I would like to thank Martin for the update! -Simon ___ 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

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE WEB BROWSER. Why? Because Firefox 19.0 on Windows XP works just fine, as it supports SNI. AFAIR the problem is that some crypto library on Windows XP does not support SNI. IE uses it, Firefox and others probably don't. So how do you solve this problem for legacy clients? Simple: By dedicating an IP address to the SSL-based virtualhost/webserver (i.e. one IP address per SSL-based virtual host), and do away with name-based vhosting for SSL. That's the only way. I agree that SNI is suboptimal, unfortunately it was the best of bad solutions: - We just don't have enough IPv4 addresses to dedicate one per virtual hostname. - We could use IPv6 only which means excluding even more legacy clients. - Bundling all sites under www.freebsd.org creates problems with cookies, more pain in configuration, and less flexibility in moving things around. - Using SubjectAlternatName (SAN) certificates where strongly considered, but fewer CA's support them (most have no clue) and it becomes a lot more painful to add new hosts.

Re: Boot-time hard drive errors
Have you tried Pause/Break to see if you could feeze the screen to get the error message? I would stress test all three drives to see if they pass with flying colors. One or more of your drives could be indeed flaky, regardless being new, that means little. Also, something could be conflicting from time to time, that could also show up under stress testing. Make backup if you have important data before stress testing. -Simon On Sun, 24 Feb 2013 13:33:06 -0800, Ronald F.

(Also, I was previously running 8.3-RELEASE and only recently updated to 9.1-RELEASE.) Since I reconfigured the system to its current state, i.e. with the set of three drives listed above, whenever I reboot the system, about 50% of the time, when the boot process gets down to the point where it would ordinarily be printing out the messages relating to ada0, ada1, etc. suddenly I start to get a massive and apparently endless stream of error messages, apparently relating to one of the drives listed above, but the stream actually alternates between two consecutive error messages, both undoubtedly related to each other. The boot process never completes, and I am just left staring at a screen that's displaying, in very rapid succession, first the one error message and then the other, and then the first one again, and then the second one again, and on and on like that. Unfortunately, the two error messages are being printed on the screen so fast (and alternating, as described above) that I cannot even read them, but I could just barely make out that they seem to relate to ada2... well, anyway, one or another of the hard drives. I do not know the proper way to rectify whatever is causing these flaky errors. I use the term flaky because, as I have said, this boot-time problem only seems to occur maybe about 50% of the time, and the rest of the time when I boot up there is no problem whatsoever. Because I am able to boot up successfully, with no problems whatsoever, a significant fraction of the time, I am inclined to think that whatever is causing the failure is not actually a hardware fault. (And by the way, the WDC drive and the Hitachi drive are both practically brand new. That doesn't prove anything, of course, but it does make me think that they are unlikely to have serious hardware faults.) I would report this problem by filing a standard PR, but as I've said above, I can't even read the error messages, because they are being printed in such rapid succession, so I'm not sure that filing a PR would be useful to anybody. I mean what would it say? That I'm getting some unspecified failure at boot time that seems to relate to the hard drives in this system? That kind of PR would clearly not be very helpful.

Possible but extremely unlikely, I always had issues whenever I tried to build MySQL server myself. The hardware where this is running has been very stable. I don't have any issues whatsoever making world, etc... There is no segfault which is what usually happens when you have memory issues. And why would MySQL community server run stable if it was somehow my hardware? Bottom line, if this was hardware issue, the server would have paniced long ago.

I wish I could get some input from someone running MySQL server with 300+ queries a second and what MySQL version/build they are running. By all means-- while I'm quite familiar with busy databases, folks aren't running MySQL for that kind of TPS load. Why not? it is designed precisely for this. Like I said, whenever I used MySQL project community server built binaries, I never had it crash. Right now I'm thinking: 1. the port build of 5.0.95 does something incorrectly. 2. it's running out of memory (FreeBSD's kernel still does not report out of memory errors for processes if it kills them; there is no way to know if kernel killed a process due to memory limit, it does not log this) 3. it's hitting some kind of 5.0.95 bug Maybe I'm contacting wrong mailling list, I can't seem to get ahold of ISP/hosting guys on this list.

I've got an R610 with the PERC 6/i (not what you asked) that runs like a champ. I plan on upgrading the card at some point, but for now it works fine. The trick was to turn off _all_ the power savings features (C1E, etc) in the BIOS. We have I don't even know how many R610 at work running FreeBSD 8.2 with some kind of RAID card, but I don't know which one. Those machines get pounded all day every day and I haven't heard of any problems. I haven't noticed any as a user. I'll find out and report back. I also have my R620 and the latest stable/8 has support for the H710 card (Mini, Monolithic). It works well enough to create a couple of ZFS pools and copy the install of FreeBSD over to the disks. But I have the Broadcom 5720 network daughtercard that doesn't work yet, so I don't know how the H710 performs under load. Am I correct that LSI is contributing to the drivers for the Dell cards that use LSI chips? Can someone verify that I'm not looney? The R620 went on sale within days of Intel's release of the chips. To be fair to FreeBSD the firmware that Dell shipped is ... half baked at best. For a while it insisted on using the wrong IP when using DHCP, the network upgrade of the firmware via FTP+proxy requests the wrong URL, etc etc. The Dell DVD-ROM USB drive can't be connected at the same time as the iDRAC network port or else the firmware won't initialize. And Dell had access to the hardware before it shipped. So I can't complain about FreeBSD's support for the R620 not being 100% in place when Dell hasn't gotten their act together yet.

I'm not saying you have to be involved OK. I am asking all people for help, and I welcome who will join me. Developers frequent these mailing lists, and how else can I ask for help if I don't go the places people hang out? Huh? If my emails bother you so much I encourage you to set up a mail filter on your MUA and send me to /dev/null where you think I belong. It's fine by me, ok :-) The world is starving. Wars are raging.

Without money, how would we keep score to know who is winning? By measuring ones contribution. This can be quantified by creating a system whereby one's output is measured. It is not a credit system, rather a combination of reputation (feedback of others) and how much produce or time you effect. Try to think ebay without the money, and instead of leaving feedback after every transaction you only leave the feedback just once (how do you feel about the other person? good/bad). Broken. Won't work. It's too bureaucratic for too little (immediate) return to catch on, and its bureaucracy would guarantee long-term corruption. This sort of idea will take years to catch on and will be a gradual process. In fact, it has already started in the (primitive) form of free open-source software. As for the corruption, at least in a organised contribution based system all data will be available for all to see, unlike the corruption we have today. Personal preference: if I can have check-able corruption or hidden corruption - I'd choose check-able every time. In fact, I think you'd find people would come to the forefront by actually boasting they are the most sound people with solid principles as a result of it being open for audit by anyone at anytime. And because it relies on the opinion of others it would be a better framework to build on (see eBay's feedback system as an introduction to a the value of mass-opinion). We'll probably evolve semi-naturally to a reputation based economy as advancing technology eliminates a lot of basic-needs scarcity, but that's just speculation. In the meantime, money is really nothing but a scalable way to lubricate the process of trade. The more you centralize the management of money (or its replacement), the less efficiently it works -- and trying to quantify contribution through some uniform system as you suggest would require absurd levels of centralization. Yes, it would be absurd to introduce it over night, but not more absurb than the proposed Bankor currency headed our way. It's probably just about the same amount of admin, only with a website it would eliminate the need for turning trees into notes/paper. Also, the people who control the current money efforts conduct their affairs behind closed doors and avoid scrutiny. In an open system people will be able to not only see the workings (the maths behind it) and they will also be able to vote on it and change it (mass opinion outweighs the individual). If you really want to do away with money, the best way to do it is to advance the state of the art of automation technology. You can do this by contributing expertise, time, and money (in decreasing order of importance) to copyfree [0] and open source [1] software development projects such as FreeBSD. Trying to distract the people contributing to such projects with pie-in-the-sky manifestations of song lyrics from the early '70s [2] is actually counterproductive to that aim. Whilst I agree with you on most of this, I want to point out that the greatest portion of the available workforce are in front of Facebook drooling over Justin Beiber. The sooner the masses are awoken to the truth and shown that a different way of living is even possible, only then will we move in the most positive direction at the fastest speed possible.

That position is by essence just a personal view, applicable to me only and not to anybody else. Also I have to admit that now that the m3 dependency is gone with csup, it becomes easier to return to it. The issue is not to remove CVS via rsync - just to remove it from the FTP collection where it doesn't belong. There is nothing which prevents mirror sites from providing access to the CVS repo via rsync, even if they get it via CVSup... If it's useful (IE, any of the primary mirrors requests it) we can probably rather easily set up rsync access via cvsup-master. That said, I think rsync access is likely not too interesting for most master mirrors as they likely provide access to the repo via CVSup already, so they have cvsup installed already. -- Simon L. B.

In theory, you could set up a Linux environment (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu.html) with the binaries from your RedHat system, spawn a Linux shell and go from there as if you're on Linux, but this will almost certainly be more work than just finding a RedHat system (or even installing one in qemu).

Re: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC
collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC I've read that this is mainly caused by Apache spawning too many processes. Everyone seems to suggest to decrease the MaxClients directive in Apache(set to 450 at the moment), but here's the problem...i need to increase it ! During peaks all the processes are in use, we even have little drops sometime because there isn't enough processes to serve the requests. Our traffic is increasing slowly over time so i'm affraid that it'll become a real problem soon. Any tips on how I could deal with this situation, Apache's or FreBSD's side ? On page 85 of Michael Lucas' Absolute BSD, there is a solution to your problem that someone else had come across before. The solution involves (1) increasing the PMAP_SHPGPERPROC parameter in the kernel to a higher value and rebuilding the kernel, and (2) increasing the amount of physical RAM to complement it. For more details, go to http://books.google.com/books?id=vebgS-r9fP8Cpg=PA85lpg=PA85dq=Michael+Lucas+collecting+pv+entriessource=webots=9Fl2T_Uyqisig=6LgchiUI5r0NTL6PaK3sxnFuIBIhl=ensa=Xoi=book_resultresnum=1ct=result Good luck, Simon Chang ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC
Raising PMAP_SHPGPERPROC works most of the time. You can also re-tune your Apache setting to keep processes from constantly spawning and dying. For example, set the max spare and min spare servers settings higher, so Apache keeps more spare servers around instead of spawning them on demand and killing them when the demand ends. Another option is to upgrade to 7.X, which seems to have replaced the mechanism by which this is done to be more dynamic and not have this problem. Since he has only this server as production, and does not like re-compiling the kernel on it (and rebooting), the only option that's sensible is retuning Apache and restart services (since an upgrade to 7.X would be even more involved than a kernel rebuild). By the way, does anyone know whether there is any way to tune PMAP_SHPGPERPROC using sysctl, or does such button/knob not exist?

Re: When's FreeBSD going to catch up in the world of virtualization.
Now however, I'm forced to use linux as the host OS for Vmware as there currently seems to be no current support for FreeBSD as the Host OS for popular VM applications. I hear your pain. However, VMware is a commercial company one of whose responsibilities is their bottom line. I have heard it said many, many times on this and other FreeBSD discussions that, if commercial companies hear from the end-users and system administrators, they would pay more attention to the group in question. Sadly, to date I have not seen any organized efforts to bring to VMware's attention the mob of BSD users that are out there, despite all the boastful talks. You also see that there are no (host) support for Open and Net (BSD). OSS virtualization efforts are another story, as there is no bottom line as such. But you still need the manpower and manhours to do complicated stuff like virtualization.

When I use the term host, I'm referring to what many would call a personal workstation or personal computer. If you have more than one person who has shell access to a computer, then you no longer have a host. You have a server. Sure, you may not think of it that way, but that's what it is. Servers are a completely different ballgame, and the decisions you make regarding protecting them have everything to do with who has access to what. The servers that I referenced in my post have one person with root access - me - and one user - the owners. No one else has access. So, it's a great deal easier for me to lock down the boxes than it is, for example, here at work, where *many* people have shell access and more than one have root access through sudo or even su. Sorry for bikeshedding here, since it's just a matter of terminology, but... Hosts used to be multi-user machines for a long time, and actually still are. Most RFCs, including newer ones, refer to hosts and mean nodes on the net. They don't care whether the hosts are workstations used by a single or few user(s), or big multi-user machines with hundreds of shell accounts. Server is merely the role a program assumes when it waits passively for requests from clients. Servers run on hosts, regardless of the number of users on those hosts (ranging from 0 to very high). Obviously, the security implications vary considerably if you have to host many user accounts, esp. on hosts used by mission critical server programs. ;) And of course, the bikeshed has to be painted... red! :) Regards, -cpghost.

Some of the setup information, particularly with regards to how OpenFirmware interacts with the boot loader and boot devices, may be relevant. At any rate, NetBSD has had considerable experience porting the OS to the PowerPC platform so it's worth a try.

Re: Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM

I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction? You can use dump over ssh easily enough, here are my notes from using it to create multiple production machines from a single test server. There are better ways I am sure, but this is quick and easy if you are familiar with FreeBSD installs. Note #1 In the first comment line I say to boot the live file system CD, that is what you would do in the VM, just as you would normally boot an installer CD, but use a Live filesystem CD instead. Note #2 I used several slices with sizes some may not agree with. It was a choice we made for various reasons, the servers have been running for three years. You may have more or less slices of varying sizes, adjust the steps below to your preferences. Note #3 You will need to check and WRITE DOWN which slice is which mount point, /, /var, /usr and so on. Your disks may be different if you choose not to create a seperate /tmp, or /var. I'll be out of the office for a week, but you can try and adjust as needed, it won't hurt anything and you can always overwrite and try again. WRITE IT DOWN. Works for us, I've used it several times, adjusting as needed for the system I am cloning.

Re: Double fault
Hi Bernt, A few observations: 1) This double fault apparently occurs fairly early in your boot process. Do you initialize anything late, like an external drive or some other hardware? 2) By your saying that you usually get either trap 9 or 12, I assume it happens frequently enough for you to notice a pattern. Do you have the kernel dump file and the backtrace? It would be a really good starting point to troubleshoot. SC On Nov 25, 2007 11:53 AM, Bernt Hansson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any help with this?

Bridging interfaces
Hello, I seem to be having some trouble bridging interfaces in FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. What I have are two interfaces rl0 - 192.168.2.2 sis0 - 192.168.1.2 and a bridge I've set up following the pages in the handbook. However frames don't seem to be routed from one interface to the other. The internet gateway for the networks lives on 192.168.1.1 and I am able to reach the internet from boxes on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet but not from the other. Tracing the route from a box on the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet the connection times out on the freebsd box, orinoco.

They don't know where 192.168.1.2 is, because they don't see it as being on the same link. The subnet mask is used to determine this kind of reachability. You could probably use 192.168.1.2 as your default router, as long as you created a static route `route add 192.168.1/24 192.168.2.2', telling the system that to get to 192.168.1/24, the next-hop is 192.168.2.2. This seems needlessly complex when you can just configure 192.168.2.2 as your default router and skip the static route configuration all together.

It can prevent you from making almost any changes. A secure level of 3 is very high and may be what you want for your production - depending on what you are doing, but will make any installation or development very difficult or impossible. jerry Thanks, Jerry. I tried to lower secure level, but still run into similar error: # sysctl kern.securelevel=-1 kern.securelevel: 3 sysctl: kern.securelevel: Operation not permitted Is there other way to reduce secure level to -1 without reboot the machine or drop into single user mode?

A secure level of 3 setting was the problem. Once changed secure level to -1, everything worked. Thanks.

Tool to automate web application installation
Hi, I have just built an application that will be using Apache, PHP, MySQL. I am now looking for a tool that will enable me to automate the installation of the software, so human intervention will be kept as low as possible. Basically, the tool will have to install, with one single command (and probably a number of parameters), Apache, PHP, MySQL, as well as modify some config files (mainly php.ini) Does anyone have clues?

How to use the rum(4) driver in 6.3?
Hi all, How can I use the rum driver in 6.3-RELEASE? The online man pages show that the driver is available in 7. Every USB 802.11g adapter I've bought on eBay so far has been one of these instead of the ural supported device I've been looking for!

It's not particularly an issue for me since my name servers aren't publicly queryable, but I am curios about how things like security problems in src/contrib get handled in FreeBSD.

Remote Desktop tool for FreeBSD
Hi, Does anyone know of a remote X client that can be used to establish a remote X session with a FreeBSD box.

Re: An ssh Question
OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110, OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to xx.com [x.x.x.x] port 22. What is really baffling is that if I try the exact same thing from, say, a cygwin session on a host on the private network - this works fine. So ... it's not a firewall problem as near as I can tell. It may be an ssh configuration problem - that is, the FreeBSD ssh client can't do it, but another client (cygwin) can. It would be helpful if you include your firewall ruleset, plus sshd_config. It's possible that one or more is misconfigured, but we would have no way of knowing without your telling us about them.
