Task bar missed when creating PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit VM in VMware Workstation Version 98.02 build-1031769
Hi, I am trying to create a virtual machine of PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit in VMware Workstation Version 98.02 build-1031769 based on PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso downloaded from ftp://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1/amd64/PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso in Windows 7 64 bits system. The screen resolution is 1280x1024, if I chose Yes in Confirm Resolution window to keep the autodetec, then after the whole creation process finished, and login in as a created user, the task doesn't appear in the bottom below the desktop. If I powered off the VM, and changed the Display setting to Specificy monitor settings with Maximum resolution set to 1024 x 768 by Virtual Machine Settings in Workstation, and repower on the VM, then the task bar appears on the bottom below desktop. What is the issue? Did I miss anything during the VM creation? Thanks. David , and setup network configuration and installed Firefox 20.0 by AppCafe, and configured the network setting in Preference-Advanced of Firefox, and I could access Internet. Now I need to build my own customized kernel, but there is no src subdirectory in /usr, so here is my question: 1.Is there any way to install kernel source when I create the virtual machine from PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso ? 2.Any BKM to get the kernel source after the Virtual Machine already created as my case now?

mhonarc 64-bit Package for mhonarc6.18 is stale.
mhonarc is a mime message archiver that is used with nmh and possibly other applications. I used pkg_add -r mhonarc to install it on a new system I was building and then discovered that attempts to reply to messages produced no quoted output and a spew of perl warnings about defined being deprecated. The messages tell you what line and in what application the offending directives live and one must then edit out the word defined from those lines. The current port of mhonarc, however, is fine so I first did make deinstall in the /usr/ports/www/mhonarc directory and then did make install from the port and things are now perking along nicely. If there is a better place to send this message, I will certainly be glad to send it. All somebody needs to do is create the mhonarc.tbz package from the most current port for both 32 and 64-bit systems. Who knows; I may be the only one in the world who is still using nmh, but it is useful when you want scripts to send mail, etc. Martin McCormick ___ 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

The pre-packaged version of virtualbox retrievable by pkg_add is 3.2.12 (which looks in ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release). Poking around on the ftp server, I see that packages-8.1-release also has a 3.x version, but packages-8-stable has the latest 4.0.8. I went to look in ports, which contains 4.0.8, and build it myself but I got an error saying I need to have the 32-bit libraries installed in order to build virtualbox. So, my question is 2-fold: 1) What is the reason the 64-bit pre-packaged version of virtualbox is still at the 3.x version? Would there be a problem with installing the packages (virtualbox and kernel module) from packages-8-stable? 2) How do I build virtualbox 4.0.8 on a 64-bit system w/o the 32-bit libs. Is that possible? Searching around has produced old e-mail threads indicating this was a problem as of 2 or so years ago with the 3.x release.

I'd like to avoid diverging from the stock release kernel for upgrade simplicity. What exactly does that do? Will it introduce upgrade complexity (ie will I have to upgrade these libs before I upgrade the kernel or some such)? Rob To remain with the same kernel you installed, you must install the source tree from the same CD/DVD you used for installation. You will have to run sysinstal and go to Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD then Distributions Install additional distribution sets then mark [ ] src Sources for everything Choose the CDROM as installation media. 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.

64-bit PGP isn't Decrypting.
There are two new FreeBSD8.1 systems. Both got pgp added to them by use of pkg_add -r pgp. Both adds installed Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.3ia - Public-key encryption for the masses. (c) 1990-96 Philip Zimmermann, Phil's Pretty Good Software. 1996-03-04 International version - not for use in the USA. Does not use RSAREF. A test file that had been encrypted earlier was used on both systems. It works fine on the 32-bit system and always fails on the 64-bit system. Trust me. As many times as I tried it, I couldn't possibly be mistyping the pass phrase every time on the 64-bit system and then getting it right on the 32-bit system. On the 64-bit system, one can not seem to encrypt a file and then decrypt it with the pass phrase. If you take the encrypted file from the 64-bit system and try to decrypt on the 32-bit system, that fails so something appears wrong with the numerical encryption process that is peculiar to being 64 bits. I am thinking some of the cipher routines may be relying on the width of certain expressions that change if running in 64-bit mode. So far, files encrypted on the 64-bit system are ultrasecure in that they can'ts seem to be read anywhere.:-) Has anybody else had the same problem on a 64-bit version of pgp? I am glad I discovered this before anything crytical happened.

I thought that was just the first copywrite date. gnugp installs gpg-2 which is almost the right thing but the files encrypted from pgp report as using the idea method. gpg-idea is a port that currently appears to try to decode the test file but immediately bombs out with a couple of cryptic errors about packets so not quite home yet.

I have a laptop with the same card. In a December 23, 2009 (in current I think) the driver maintainer said: I see that your device has LP-PHY instead of A/B/G/N PHYs so currently it's not supported by bwn(4). AFAIK linux has a weak but working implementation so we could refer to other Open Sources. At least on 8.1 bwn does not recognize the device. I can not find XP drivers. Broadcom's site does not (as far as I could find) mention the card. It does not sound like the XP driver work much better. Using the win7 drivers produces a hard loop upon doing an ifconfig. There are no PRs on either ndis or bwn so I assume this will be the state of things for a while at least. If anyone got the XP drivers to work with this card, please share the solution and how to get the drivers. ___ 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
Problem installing Bacula client on win 2008 64 bit server
Hello
Trying to install bacula client on win 2008 64 bit server. After
installation the bacula client should start automatically but it dont. I
then tried to start the bacula windows service manually but are getting the
following (and pointless) error message: Error 1067. The prosess terminated
unexpektedly.
Ok, so now i open a CMD window and try to start the service
by starting bacula-fd.exe, but with no luck. Then I add the -t option and
get the error message:

The password is the same on the client and the servert, I checked
that. Anyhow, it should be possible to start the deamon/service even if the
client have no contact with the servere, right?
Anybody have a fix on this?

Have you tried starting from:
Control Panel Administrative Tools Component Services
Locate the service and try starting it there. The error message would
be a lot more revealing. You could click the Event Viewer and try to
locate the problem in one of the logs.
I did notice a post on an MS Forum, I forgot which one, that the latest
version of Bacula does not work on Windows. You apparent have to use a
deprecated version.
In any case, this might be better suited to an MS Forum discussion.

It says that the following symbols are missing ZwQueryInformationFile ZwCreateFile ZwReadFile IoUnregisterPlugPlayNotification ExFreePoolWithTag According to MSDN, these were introduced in Windows 2000.

Re: 64 Bit OS
Is it the AMD64 that works with Xeon processors? Yes. For historical reason, because amd was the first on the market to produce 64 bit CPU, it is called amd64. If you plan to go for FreeBSD 7, you may have to 1) upgrade the firmware of your 1950 2) customize the kernel and remove what is useless some drivers in the GENERIC kernel hang at boot with FreeBSD 7.

Re: 64 Bit OS
Yes. For historical reason, because amd was the first on the market to produce 64 bit CPU, it is called amd64. It went by x86-64 while in development which is why some Linux distro's use that term. Sometimes you'll get a question like Why don't you use the x86_64 naming convention like the rest of Linux?. (There is more than one thing wrong with that question) AMD64 is what x86-64 officially became. Intel doesn't technically use AMD64, but instead uses a compatible 64 bit instruction set. As far was what the OP should use, depends on the CPU. Not all Xeon's support AMD64 but any recent ones should. I'm not all up on my Dell models, but I think the 1950 shouldn't have any troubles with AMD64. However at the end of the day your choices are AMD64 or i386 as ia64 is for itanium's. The Itanium instruction set is completely different than AMD64 and no amount of coaxing will make it work. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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

Re: Nehelem 64 bit, kern conf and /etc/make.conf
I just installed FreeBSD 8.0 (amd64) onto my new Nehalem-based system. CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5506 @ 2.13GHz (2128.00-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = GenuineIntel Id = 0x106a5 Stepping = 5 Features=0xbfebfbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE Features2=0x9ce3bdSSE3,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,DCA,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,POPCNT AMD Features=0x28100800SYSCALL,NX,RDTSCP,LM AMD Features2=0x1LAHF TSC: P-state invariant I am now in the process of configuring the kernel config file. A few questions; 1. Is the kernel config file I want to modify /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC ? (Copy that file as /root/PORKY, and set up a symlink from /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf to /root/PORKY.) You don't have to do this: you could just use GENERIC. But if you want to build a custom kernel, and you are not familiar with all of the kernel options, GENERIC is a good starting point. 2. What should I set this line to: cpu HAMMER Right now it's HAMMER, I have no idea what Hammer is. What would be the best thing to set it to? I want to be as specific as possible for my CPU type. Leave this alone. If you change it, you will break your kernel. It's not meant to be customized: it's just a name that was chosen because it happened to be AMD's prototype 64-bit CPU at the time the amd64 port was being written. 3. The instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html mention a line like this: machinei386 (which would probably by amd64 in my case), but the machine line is missing entirely from GENERIC conf file. Should I add it? No, leave it alone. The documentation is outdated; this option is now set in DEFAULTS, which is a small list of very important stuff that every kernel of a certain architecture must contain in order to function properly. It is not meant to be customizable. 4. In /etc/make.conf, I'm used to having, for example: CPUTYPE?=core2 What would be my CPU in this case (Xeon L5506)? I know this line is not necessary, but I'd like to set it to the most specific kind of CPU possible for my case to gain any optimizations, so long as it does not make my system unstable. This option is only used to set the flags for the C and C++ compilers. The base system compiler for FreeBSD 7-9 is a patched version of gcc 4.2, and is hooked up to a patched version of binutils 2.15. This compiler suite and tool-chain are not new enough to take full advantage of your CPU: the best you can do is set it to auto-detect your CPU, or hard-code it to the most modern compatible CPU that existed when the compiler suite and tool-chain were written. However, some people have started to use newer compilers and tool-chains from FreeBSD Ports (some ports even require it), and if you do that, you may need a different value. Probably, your best bet is to use: CPUTYPE?= native and to check to make sure that the base system compiler is actually equating this with 'nocona', and enabling all of your SIMD extensions that it supports. This won't make a great deal of difference for kernel performance, but it will affect other base system programs and ports if you are using CFLAGS with -march or other optimization flags. b. ___ 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

If you're not sure which is the right list, then questi...@ is a good place
to start. I'd hope no one would fear to ask what they needed to know in this
list, or it will have become pretty useless for its intended function.
I have a 64bit intel processor, Dual core machine and I have installed 64
bit Linux as well as FreeBSD and thought of seeing the size of integer. On
both the platform my integer is showing 4 bytes which is 32 bit. I thought
integer are the most basic of the data types and governs the architecture as
32 bit or 64 bit, so why integer shows me 4bytes instead of 8. Does this

Not at all. 'int' is just one of the basic types mandated by the various
C specifications over the years. There are 4 basic integer types -- together
with their unsigned counterparts:
char unsigned char --- usually 1 byte[*].
shortunsigned short --- usually 2 bytes
int unsigned--- usually 4 bytes
long unsigned long --- nowadays usually 8 bytes
Now, the C standards only require that the lengths of these types fulfil
the following condition:
short = int = long
and there are some older CPU architectures where short and int are 2 bytes
and long is 4 bytes, but those are exceedingly rare nowadays and you won't
run into anything like that unless you work on embedded systems.
In general the sizes above are what pretty much all current CPUs since about
2000 have supported -- mostly because that's what the Intel x86 series used.
Before then there were quite a few CPUs where 'long' was 4 bytes, but those
sizes were otherwise about the same.
However, it's not the size of 'int' which is the important thing. It's
the size of pointers.
The big deal with 64bit vs 32bit architectures is having registers of the
appropriate length that you can do 64bit integer operations natively. This
particularly applies to memory address manipulation. In principle you can
make a composite integer type of any length by stringing together as many
shorter types as you want, but in practice that's too inefficient for most
purposes, especially anything as fundamental as memory addressing. So pointers
are generally no longer than the widest hardware registers on the CPU. Hence
the length of pointers (memory addresses) is the fundamental distinction.
On a 32bit architecture, pointers are 4bytes long and can address up to
4294967296 bytes (4GiB) of RAM. On a 64bit machines pointers are 8bytes long
and can address 18446744073709551616 bytes (16EiB) of RAM. The Intel Core 2
Duo is capable of running in either 32 or 64 bit mode. This C snippet will
show you how long some important types are on your system:
#include stdio.h
int
main (int argc, char *argv)
{
printf( int:\t%d\nlong:\t%d\npointer:\t%d\n, sizeof(int),
sizeof(long), sizeof(void*) );
}
Cheers,
Matthew

Re: 7.1 64 bit
Hi everyone, I have a mixed update: I was able to get it running, but once it starts, it gets stuck. Here are the last two lines: isab0: pci-isa bridge. at device 31.0 on pci0 isa0: isa bus on isab0 Please let me know if you need more info, or you have any advice on what this could be.

My workstation has an Intel E5320 quad core, and the M600 has a 5400 series chip, but I can't remember which one exactly. They should definitely be able to handle it. I downloaded the 7.1 ia64, maybe there is something else I should be downloading?

I do not know exact reason of that problem , but i can say the following : Another approach may be to install 7.1 i386 ISO . If 32-bits works . but 64-bits does not work . it may mean that a hardware part is not usable by the 64-bits operating system . If 32-bits even does not work ( we know that 6.4 32-bits is working ) this may mean that in your PC there is an older hardware which its support is or has been removed from the operating system . Another approach would be removal of components from ISA slots and then try to boot the 64-bits operating system . If it can boot , then add the ISA components one-by-one to isolate which component is causing the lock up . If even this does not work : Then best action may be to use 6.4 or if it is possible to replace the older hardware by a newer ( or compatible ) hardware . In new main boards there is no ISA bus slots . ISA slots components approximately can NOT be auto-detected easily because they do not have such a related circuitry . There is another point : Some manufacturers are producing parts which can only work by a famous widely used operating system by cutting some electronic circuitry parts . Such components can NOT work under Unix or Linux . During selection of parts it may be useful to check whether at least it can work under Linux if BSD is not mentioned at all . Thank you very much .

Re: 7.1 64 bit
Hi Frank, Thanks for the reply, I see what to compare the checksums to on the site, but I have a Windows machine. Any hints on how to check?

I burned it using imgburn, and i also have magiciso. How can I check to make sure the file is correct? I've never checksumed anything, and haven't been able to find any help online on how to do so. Look here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html The checksums are listed there. For you to checksum your iso, you do this on a unix/linux machine: $ md5 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso and compare the checksum printed to that published on that page. If the checksum is different, then you got some corruption and need to download the image again. My guess is that the software you used didn't burn the iso correctly. Load up 6.4 and burn your CD from there, something like the following should do it: # burncd -f /dev/acd0 data 7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso fixate Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html ___ 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

Any hints on how to check? http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ First you need to isolate the problem. As someone else suggested, try booting another computer with the disk. Check BIOS boot order to make sure it checks cd drive first. Try another bootable disk in system. I've seen lockups in booting off install disc, but the only situations in which a system would fail to attempt to boot off of it is when either media or drive is bad. If all else fails I believe there is a process to boot from flash drive and install via that method. -- Adam Vandemore Systems Administrator IMED Mobility (605) 498-1610 ___ 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
