Patents provided the perfect LEGAL way for these very people to make theirs, an idea that they didn't think of or had the gift/talent to create, as a quickie for profit. The result: Now the long patent arm reaches fruit, seeds and DNA. This means that I can't create a Graviola juice drink (local Brazilian fruit) because a Japanese guy patented the fruit !! How ridiculous did we allowed this to get? On a final note, if your sentence were to reflect a little better the idea of socialism (at least on paper), it should read: The socialists still feel that everybody is entitled to something for nothing.

OT - Squid external connections
Hi; Would anybody know how can I cross-reference squid/Lusca external connections with LAN hosts? For example, if I see an http connection on ext_if, is there a way to find out on behalf of which LAN host squid is making that connection? Using FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE, pf and Lusca latest port. I tried to search for a hint but this is really tricky to Google for. Please forgive me the OT but this list has always been a good first step for the right directions.

[OT] but concerns all of us
My apologies to all for this, specially to those who already know about this and those who think too little of it. I am really worried about this: http://americancensorship.org/ If these rootless people get control of what goes through the root servers, we will loose the last free medium of expression and info exchange that is not owned by a corporation or anybody. I don't know if I should be worried or not, but if my worries are founded and this comes to pass, as far as I can see, it will be the end of this great tool as we know it today. There is a petition going on here: http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_internet/ There are a lot of Americans on this list that have a lot more power than the rest of us to change this. A LOT of people from all over the world is signing this petition. I hope at least some don't judge me to be over dramatic here but this situation sounds very much so. I hope that most of you (if not all) replicates this and that I don't get scalded for this post.

Re: Solution for school lab just a thought

At our school lab all the pcs have ms/windows on the hard drive with the putty client installed. Students use putty to get logged into a jail on a single Freebsd system.

What to teach to children??? word, exel, powerpoint, msn??? is this teaching??? I think that children (and teenagers too), must face problems and resolve them. the world belongs tho those that work in group. those who can get answers, so an account in a desktop environment (in my case: gnome) with several program languages, internet access, text composing (libreoffice), postscript printing (cups), some IDE (anjuta, eclipse), multimedia (ffmpeg, avidemux2, openshot, dvdstyler) can make the difference. They can download small videos from their phones, and produce digital media, share it on DVDs... the home lesson is send via email (everyone has email).. One problem is hand-witten... no one wants to hand write now... Those who foresee the future, can learn how to code GUI interface, and so produce software for the community. They can learn how to install admin FreeBSD servers, share files in the network, use webdav to share files in internet... and so on... There is a need for people with this knowledge... The society will buy from the students as long as they produce good software.. What is the other alternative??? finish high school and than look for a job??? XXI century there is no jobs, there will be working people... Those who can succeed working for himself will rule.. That is what I teach to my boys...

The is there the if up and if down functions of MPD come into place unless you use IP Address/network specific rules. One server I have in the if-up script: /etc/rc.d/pf resync /sbin/pfctl -t if_pptp -T add ${4} I do all that! in fact even go beyond and use the linkup/down scripts to create a log on the server of which user(s) is(are) conected to the VPN, from which public IP, with which ng interface, at what time/date they logged in and and logged out. And it works perfectly fine including on the secondary MPD instance (bound to IP address) allowing usage as default gateway functions. Like I said before: The FBSD+pf work VPN Server is working fine.

The VB support from FreeBSD is not that good imho. It is a lot easier to get it going under linux, windows or solaris. I know, fbsd packages do not exist. I wonder why... I don't know how you guys have been installing Virtualbox on FreeBSD but I have been using it since 3.x.x, Always compiling it from ports (using 4.1.2 now), almost without glitch. The almost is on account of a long gone bug with nvidia driver versions 1.7.something. Nothing to do with VB. After that, no glitches anymore. As how it runs on my 8-STABLE amd64, I've been able to compare it to vmware and hiper-v and as far as running the same things on the 3 of them, to me, VBox outperformed both in terms of speed and responsiveness. All 3 are pretty stable and hiper-v needs a monster machine to run, contrary to VB and VW. I have linux (fedora, centos and ubuntu), OS-x (hackintosh and SL), Os/2, Android, Xp (32/64),Win 2003 and win7 (32/64) vms, all jumping from VB version to VB version, all without a single glitch, and all performing better with each new version.

It's Every professional documentarian I've encountered agrees with you. It's inconsistent, wordy, and has no concept of the order of introduction of its concepts. No professional software package would ship with documentation this bad. The multiple grammatical errors only enhance the sense of its fundamentally confused nature as a document. Well, I think the handbook has got its name wrong. To me, it should have been called handybook. What you're saying sounds more like you wanted the handbook to be a usage tutorial, which it's NOT what it is supposed to be. If you put micro$oft's docs into this picture, prepare you wallet for tons of books. And in microsoft's case, it has an obligation to take you by the hand, and IT DOESN'T !. I've been using FBSD since 2.2.8. When I first heard of it, I first did my homework: Googled for its history, its architecture, its inner workings, compatibility, etc.. (all of these are IN the handbook, by the way!) and opinions/usage by others. When I went to the handbook for the first time (not straight to it but by chance while googling for some solution), I was already a user for a good while. I already knew what FreeBSD was about, so whatever I found on the handbook was already familiar to me!. The only time I resort straight to the handbook is to the hardware compatibility list whenever I'm thinking of buying something new for the server/desktop, but BEFORE I actually buy it. For everything else, man pages and the lists are my lord and my shepard. I think Polytropon put it very well: In most cases, documentation requires you to have a minimal clue of what you're doing. There's terminology you simply have to know, and concepts to understand in order to use the documentation. As far as people proving my point about the BSD community being reactionary: (1) [snip..] Let's ponder over this in a rational and cold way. First: You never mentioned in your post for how long you have been using FreeBSD or if you have even used it at all, which its obvious simply by lack of specific details, so your critique looses the by experience tag from the start. That's a no-no for this list, which will not measure distances to help people that already tried to help themselves. Second, throughout your post, it sounds like your thoughts sprung up, not from your own quest and research, but from somebody (Ron) who is completely pro- Linux and pro-Windows, and against FreeBSD (hummm...) and that is the biggest UNIX fanatic I know(100x hummm...). And Ron's millage with FreeBSD is never mentioned also, so that kinda drops the critique's credibility tag to the floor. Last, suppose you issue a general invitation for people to go over to your house for a free dinner, with food that you know (because you helped in preparing it!) in your heart and taste to be excellent, well prepared and nutritious. And all of a sudden I storm at your door and yell for all the guests that already know what you know about the food, without even tasting anything, that a very good and knowledgeable friend of mine told me that the kitchen is as dirty as hell, the food tastes terrible and that all the guests will get diarrhea and probably die if they eat anything.

Re: High interrupt rate
On Monday 08 August 2011 21:30:41 b. f. wrote: I'll wait for your views on those before disabling polling on the kernel and hz=100. It looks like your interrupt rate, while probably higher than needed, is not unexpectedly high for your configuration. But you can lower it if you want to do so. You are using a system before the introduction of the new eventtimer code. If you use 9.x, that has the new code and some other timer-related improvements, and you are not performing polling, then you can achieve a large reduction in the number of timer interrupts when the system isn't busy. You can still achieve a reduction on 8.x, but the reduction usually won't be as large as on 9.x under similar conditions. To reduce timer interrupts on an idle system running 8.x or 9.x, if you do not need to poll (most systems do not), remove DEVICE_POLLING from your kernel, and lower kern.hz to a suitable value -- 100 or 250, for example. For many workloads, a lower value is not only adequate, but may also be better in some ways. Also, you may want to consider using your TSC as the system timecounter, because it is usually more efficient to do so. This may not work for SMP, because if there are multiple TSCs on your system, they may not be synchronized. In 9.x, there is a test for synchronization, and the TSCs are preferred to the ACPI-safe timer if they satisfy this test and meet some other requirements. In 8.x, the user has to tell the system that it is safe to use the TSCs by adding: kern.timecounter.smp_tsc=1 to /boot/loader.conf. If you are not putting your cores into the C3 state, then you could try setting this via the loader command line, booting, and then seeing if the kern.timecounter.tc.TSC.quality is positive, kern.timecounter.hardware is TSC, and everything is working as expected. If the results are satisfactory, then you could add the above entry to /boot/loader.conf. But it would be better to do this on 9.x, where there are some added safeguards. b. b.; Something really odd happened. After I sent you the data, while waiting for your reply, I changed Lusca cache to use 64M ram instead of the 256M it had. It was 1/8th of ram so I just decided to give it less. Well, I swear to you this was the ONLY thing I did!. Since then, the system has been running at around 97% idle 98% of the time! During load hours, there are only short(1s) spikes of 75%ish idle, far from each other. And web performance is actually a little better! And the overall response of the system improved. That's why I waited a couple of days to reply so I could confirm this behavior. I don't know. Maybe with more ram, lusca was spawning to many threads and thus loading the CPU but this is just a guess. I will take lusca memory back to 256 for the sake of checking but I want to find out if this new found estability is there to stay so I'll wait a little longer to do that. Your suggestions will be kept handy just in case.

With all this brain power and apparently spare time, can anyone tell me how to get back all the money I've lost in the market over the last 3 years? Or, perhaps in the last 3 days? I would like some help with that! Regarding IQ tests . . . there's not much point in comparing measurements. I've taken half a dozen or so IQ tests over the years. Among them, all but two have landed between 135 and 168, depending on the specific test, the scale used, what I had for breakfast that morning, my mood, the sort of uses to which I've put my brain in the year or two immediately preceding the test, my age, and numerous other factors. Those other two tests -- one of them came in under 100, and the other was off the charts to the tune of +30 or more, probably a lot more according to the guy scoring it. Add to that an SAT score from way back when the SATs actually measured aptitude and were considered suitable measures of IQ to qualify people for Mensa membership, with every single score I've gotten differing notably from all the rest, and the result seems obvious: Whatever each of you has for an IQ score from some test years ago, chances are good that if you took a test again you would get a wildly different result. . . . and let's not forget that deficiencies in some areas can drag your score down, while particular aptitudes can in others can drag it up, skewing the overall results in a way that might set unrealistic expectations one way or the other for judging general intelligence. Good at spacial relations, but bad at abstract logic? Maybe you'll end up confusing the hell out of people who think you're brilliant half the time and rock stupid the other half. As for your money lost to the market, you're going to have a tough time getting someone to tell you a foolproof way to get it back that does not involve time travel. If I had a pretty clear view of your investment patterns over the years that led to these losses, though, I could probably give you some halfway decent advice to avoid taking similar losses in the future. Unfortunately, it's much more difficult to predict future (safe) money-makers than to point out where someone is just gambling with market trends that represent aberrations rather than the consistent positive growth that they think it really represents, with a basic grasp of some driving economic principles. In general, my first piece of advice would be that you should never invest in something whose success you do not actually understand at the level of microeconomic principles. Next, consider the political landscape that might skew the effect of those principles. . . . and if you can do that, you should also be able to develop a pretty good intuition for dealing with security threats for your FreeBSD systems, because a lot of those threats are essentially the result of economic and political circumstances inspiring people to act according to their natures. Voila. By a long and circuitous route, I brought it back to the subject of FreeBSD. Do I get a cookie? Yeah, Chad! and crispy one indeed. This IQ thing is really boring. Luckily, I never had to take an IQ test but I know that some people who took them didn't have an option. It was either it or the job. But actually, I'm not even curious about it. It is much more appealing to me to spend time studying and learning new things about FreeBSD for instance, than to spend time, as short as it may be, trying to find out how big my brain d**k is. A lazy bum with an IQ of 2000 is worthless while an energetic jack ass with an IQ of -100 at least can be used to pull a chariot or something. IQ tests can't point out character and diligence.

Phenom II 975 BE shows 0 celsius
Hi to all In my desktop machine, I had an AM2+ ASROCK mobo with Phenom II 955 BE that showed each core temperature perfectly under FBSD 8-STABLE, via dev.cpu.x.temp. amdtemp.ko loaded. Unfortunately this Mobo died and only found AM3 boards for which my phenom 955 doesn't fit. So I got an ASUS M4A88T-V EVO with a Phenom II 975 BE. Funny thing. An AM3 phenom II fits on an AM2 board but an AM3 board doesn't accept an AM2/AM2+ phenom II :(. Anyway, now, under the very same system, it shows 0 degrees on dev.cpu.x.temp for all cores. I've been looking through k8temp and amdtemp src code. I am definitely not sure of this but I believe something might have happened to those: From k8temp.h K10_THERM_REG 0xa4 K10_THERMTRIP_REG 0xe4 K10_CURTMP(val)(((val) 21) 0xfff) K10_THERMTRIP(val) ((val 1) 1) From amdtemp.c /* * Register control (K8 family) */ #define AMDTEMP_REG0F 0xe4 #define AMDTEMP_REG_SELSENSOR 0x40 #define AMDTEMP_REG_SELCORE 0x04 /* * Register control (K10 K11) family */ #define AMDTEMP_REG 0xa4 Output of k8temp -dn: CPUID: Vendor: AuthenticAMD, 0x100f43: Model=04 Family=f+1 Stepping=3 Advanced Power Management=0x1f9 Temperature sensor: Yes Frequency ID control: No Voltage ID control: No THERMTRIP support: Yes HW Thermal control: Yes SW Thermal control: Yes 100MHz multipliers: Yes HW P-State control: Yes TSC Invariant: Yes Temp=c0fef ThermTrip=1fc00c30 0 I keep a small win7 partition to test little things like this and see if the same thing happens there, and it doesn't, so I concluded that the sensors are there and are working. One thing is worth noting though. I have used a free gadget that shows activity/temp for each core. It worked fine with the previous MB/CPU.That ALSO stopped working with this new MB. Like FBSD, it shows 0 degrees for any core too, although it correctly displays each core load. The only windows tool that correctly shows the temperature are the ASUS tools that came with the mobo. Other than that, everything is working fine! The only thing I had to fix was the fstab ada location. I know this is not a big thing but I got accustomed to keeping an eye on those temperatures. I have googled for a few days now searching for Thermal register address or offsets for the Phenom II 975 BE, or anything related to this problem and found nothing.

Hi; First of all, forgive me for top posting but I don't want to disturb the debate between Jerry and Polytropon. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I saved it in separate folder. It is just plain good reading, not only because of the issue at hand, but also because of the elegance and intelligence of the arguments presented by each of them, and because it was delightful to notice how their cultural backgrounds influence their presentations, to the point where even when using harsh words didn't carry offense. I firmly believe that this is why FreeBSD exists. Because it is backed up by people of this caliber, whether as users or developers. Even the trolls and flame wars here (not in NO way implying that this thread was one!) make more intelligent and enjoyable reading than in any other forum I go. In my humble user opinion, that is why FreeBSD is more than relevant. To me, at least, is indispensable, both as a tool and as a reference for every other OS in existence.

Re: Lennart Poettering: BSD Isn't Relevant Anymore
Hi; First of all, forgive me for top posting but I don't want to disturb the debate between Jerry and Polytropon. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I saved it in separate folder. It is just plain good reading, not only because of the issue at hand, but also because of the elegance and intelligence of the arguments presented by each of them, and because it was delightful to notice how their cultural backgrounds influence their presentations, to the point where even when using harsh words didn't carry offense. I firmly believe that this is why FreeBSD exists. Because it is backed up by people of this caliber, whether as users or developers. Even the trolls and flame wars here (not in NO way implying that this thread was one!) make more intelligent and enjoyable reading than in any other forum I go. In my humble user opinion, that is why FreeBSD is more than relevant. To me, at least, is indispensable, both as a tool and as a reference for every other OS in existence. I am not arguing here that my preference is better than anybody else's. FreeBSD itself is wide enough to fit a huge number of them. This universe expands even more if you add the other BSDs.

Rob To remain with the same kernel you installed, you must install the source tree from the same CD/DVD you used for installation.

After that you'll have all the sources on your HD and can proceed to the compilation of the 32 libs. If the sources are from the same CD you installed the system, they will be in sync with your kernel. No upgrade issues. What is that command doing though? It's building what from src? What is the output of build32? I assume it's not a kernel. No. Its JUST the 32 bit libraries. make build32 builds the 32bit libraries. It simply outputs the compilation process. make install32 installs the 32bit libraries. Same thing but for the install process. Also, do you know the difference between pre-built packages on the freebsd ftp server in packages-8.2-release vs packages-8-stable? Well, IF you installed the source tree from the SAME cd which you installed the FreeBSD you have now, there won't be any problems. You said you want to keep the stock kernel you installed so I assume that you haven't updated anything from the internet. You MUST install the source tree from the same DVD/CD from where you installed your running kernel! The diference is that the packages are meant to run on their respective version. I believe that packages that don't rely on a specific thing of one version should run without problems on both.

After updating to 8.2-PRERELEASE, my temps now are: idle:not less than 48 C full load (same above conditions): it reached 65.5 C with peaks of 66 C!. Was there any big change between these versions that could be causing this? Just an update to this topic: BEFORE: FBSD 8.2-RELEASE Phenom II 955 w/ stock cooler Idle temp at turn-on: 42~44 C Idle temp after 3 hrs: 48~49.5 C Load (95~100%)temp: 64~66.5 C (w/ peaks of 67.5) With the side of the computer case off.

AFTER: FBSD 8.1-STABLE Phenom II 955 w/ a ZALMAN CNPS 10x PERFORMA cooler Idle temp at turn-on: 35~37 C Idle temp after the compilation: 43~44 C Load (95~100%)temp: 54~56.5 C (w/ peaks of 57 tops) With the side of the computer case ON. On both cases, the load was provided by compiling Vbox (4.0.2) under KDE and room temp was around 30 C. Powerd on for both. I noticed one thing. With 8.2-RELEASE, the compilation process stays at 100% load a lot longer than with 8.1-STABLE. During the compile with 8.2, there was a time I counted about 9 seconds at 100% load, plus about 3 or 4 extra 100% load of around 5 secs each. With 8.1, I only saw 4 half second ( well, it seemed like a half to me) 100% load peaks. And that was it. Beleive me, I counted them.

Are they? Well, that suggests something could be wrong with your case ventilation-- perhaps a stuck (or even reversed) fan. They are neither reversed nor stuck. I am truly paranoid about that. I have a front fan pulling in and a back fan pushing out. I even have one of the front device covers out since I bought this CPU. That's the air flow since day one. I can't say that nothing changed inside the machine since I added a HD to it but the heating came long after that. I know, it's not as interesting as the possibility that different versions of FreeBSD present different CPU load, but if you aren't controlling for major factors like the case being opened or closed, or using different coolers, then there's little point in worrying about whether your load-testing of the software is accurate. I didn't mean to imply that the different versions of FBSD was THE cause of heating. But the fact is that it started to happen after the upgrade. It's probably just a coincidence. The fact is that downgrading to 8.1 improved the cooling. Very little ( -1 degree, that's true) but improved nonetheless. You're certainly right. My load testing method isn't accurate but my observations are. Even if your measuring instrument is not accuratly calibrated, the absolute value of the measurement can not be trusted, but the difference of two measurements with the same instrument can. The instrument being my hardware in this case. I pointed the difference in load between 8.1 and 8.2 when compiling, as something I noticed.

CPU heating!
Hi; I am following 8-CURRENT AMD64. I have a Phenom II 955. Up to the 3rd week of January, I had 8-STABLE. Idle CPU temp was 42~44 C (which is already not excellent, i know) and full load would never go above 60 C (compiling VBox from KDE, for instance). After updating to 8.2-PRERELEASE, my temps now are: idle:not less than 48 C full load (same above conditions): it reached 65.5 C with peaks of 66 C!. Was there any big change between these versions that could be causing this? -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio YET!!] (99% winblows FREE) ___ 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
Accessing a GPT drive
Hi; Os: FreeBSD amd64 w/ options GEOM_PART_GPT I added a drive to my system which I installed win7 64. The drive is 500G. I gave 100G to win7. Then I created an ext2 partition with the unallocated space with a gparted cd. fdisk shows the MBR of the drive with the win7 system and data partitions and the ext2 partition created. I need to access both the NTFS win7 and ext2 partitions from freeBSD. FBSD sees the drive (ada2) but does not see the partitions. I need to access the ext2 partition from both FBSD and win7. I have another ext2 on the other drive that both OSs see fine but that drive has MBR scheme. Win7 only installs in a GPT partition. What I really need if for FBSD to access that drive. I've googled for a couple days but didn't find any clues that could help me. Anybody has any hints on how I could make this work?

Re: 8.2 prerelease, virtualbox, and windows guests that freeze...
On Saturday 05 February 2011 22:12:45 Eric Schuele wrote: All, I have a laptop running 8.2-prerelease GENERIC. I have virtualbox ose 3.2.12 from ports (and kmod as well). I've only installed windows guests in vbox. I've installed windows 2008 server 64, windows vista 64bit, and windows 7 32bit. I have the vbox hdd images on an NTFS filesystem mounted using fuse. My box is a dual boot machine between FreeBSD and Windows. My desire is to be able to utilize the same virtual machine in vbox on both my Windows and FreeBSD installations. I can successfully utilize the virtuals in vbox (same version) in Windows. However when I utilize any of the virtual machines in FreeBSD, they run for several minutes and eventually freeze. Freeze may not necessarily be the correct term. All windows processes on the virtual machine begin to die. First one process, then another, then all. Hard to explain, which may not help my cause here. But, most important fact... in Windows they work fine... under FreeBSD they run for a while and then cease to run. When the VM is good and dead, it is always dead with the little vbox virtual hard disk LED lit up (no idea if that is important). Previously, they would run for a *very* short time. seconds? minutes? and then die (sometimes I couldn't login). I disabled sound support and now they run for 10-15 minutes. Had one run for an hour or two the other day, but can't reproduce that. Usually 10-15 minutes max. Network works fine inside the virtual. I'm new to VirtualBox on FreeBSD. I've used it a bit on Windows with good results. I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that out, but had same issue. What else could I provide that might allow someone to point me in the right direction here? Thanks. -- Regards, Eric Eric; My advice to you is that you change the file system on drive that holds the VMs files from NTFS to EXT2. NTFS file systems on FreeBSD or even Linux are OK only for doing small r/w stuff. I use the ntfs-3g which is really good but don't trust NTFS for heavy usage under those OSs. Sometimes it's not even trustable under windows itself. EXT on the other hand, is very stable in FreeBSD and has very good drivers for any version of 32/64 windows (Ext2IFS_1_11a) so you can access you vdi files. hope this helps. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio YET!!] (99% winblows FREE) ___ 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

I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that out, but had same issue. I suppose it may have been a little less than clear. By non fuse filesystem I actually meant UFS. The problem still persisted. NTFS file systems on FreeBSD or even Linux are OK only for doing small r/w stuff. I use the ntfs-3g which is really good but don't trust NTFS for heavy usage under those OSs. Sometimes it's not even trustable under windows itself. My bad!. Sorry!. But it seems that you're right. Looks like the issue is not the FS then. If you're building from the ports, try the svn version from: https://svn.bluelife.at/index.cgi/blueports It's already version 4.0.2 there. I realize NTFS on fBSD has been shaky in the past, but had heard it had come a long way these days. It does seem to work well for all my purposes, except these VMs. Had hoped NTFS was not the issue. I've not tried the EXT IFS for windows yet, nor had I heard much regarding their success or failure. If your willing to go out on a limb and say very good drivers for any version of 32/64 windows... I'll give it a try, and post my results. :) Forgive me if it sounded on a limb. Didn't mean to look like that. The only reason I mentioned it is because it's exactly the way I've been using. I have triple boot system. BSD AMD64, XP32 and Win7 64 and the IFS driver works flawlessly on both windows, and all 3 Vboxes accessing the same VDIs. Because of that, I believe I may have got carried away by saying any win version. regards, -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio YET!!] (99% winblows FREE) ___ 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
