Nope. That command gives me the same error. I also tried a;

portupgrade -f -P -R fontconfig

to hopefully reinstall everything that libfontconfig relies on.
I get the same error if I attempt to install fontconfig from the ports,
but I _can_ install it fine as a package. Either way, I _still_ get the
same error on building gdm2. I updated my ports, but that brought no change
either.

In my opinion, it is a lot easier to install for newbies if you use
the cdroms. You can download and burn copies yourself or buy some.

Timestamp weirdness in apache and sendmail in FBSD 4.6-stable

[Scott Crain]

The gist of the problem is that in some heavy use applications, I see 
timestamps swap between GMT time and the local CST(CDT) time in the 
logs, mainly. This is really pretty nasty when you're trying to do 
decent web stats, as it throws the time calculations out of whack, and 
ends up making you use 6-8 hours of logs each time.

Any idea what would cause this? It's a pretty heavily worked machine, 
running a loaded down mysql server along with a huge stack of web 
traffic, and a pretty small mail load in comparison.

While the examples show the timezones alternating one-to-one, it's not 
this way in practice. it's more an occasional thing that happens. these 
ARE however consecutive logged lines.

Here's some log excerpts to show what it's doing:

apache: note the -0500 and + swapping.

sendmail: in this case, it's sm-mta logging one timestamp, and sendmail 
logging the other... that I think I can work out. =) just had to paste 
it into another window to see it. I'll leave the excerpt here, though.

Hmmm, I get these some times from my regular ISP at certain times of the 
day. What it means is the service is unavailable. It could be anything. 
A down email server, a down news server or a busy news or mail server.

You can confirm this the next time it happens by telnetting to the email 
server in question and manually trying to send an email to it.

GRUB 0.92 on FreeBSD 5.x

[leon j. breedt]

hi,

is it a new feature of 5.x disallowing direct writes to the device nodes
/dev/ad*?

getting weird behaviour trying to use the GRUB 0.92 port on all versions
of 5.x i've used so far (currently on 5.1-RELEASE).

the problem being that i can't see any disks in the 'grub' shell. the
'device' command works, and then a subsequent command like 'root' still
fails with "No such disk".

i've tracked down the problem to a call in the GRUB source where its
trying to open(2) the device node /dev/ad0 with O_RDWR which fails with
EPERM, which causes GRUB to delete the drive from its device map without
any warning, just silent failure.

i am running the 'grub' executable as root though.  

when i patch that section of the source file (asmstub.c, function
get_diskinfo()) to accept EPERM and only open in read-only mode,
suddenly i can see my drives. but obviously anything wanting to modify
the drive, like 'setup', fails.

is my only recourse to install GRUB from floppy when using it from
FreeBSD?

please cc me on replies, i'm not subscribed to -questions.

thanks

Ghost HD

[FBSD_User]

The question of using the Norton Ghost program to make an single
flat
image file of an hard drives partition containing FBSD has been
asked
many times on this list. UP until now the answer has all ways been
that
the benefits of using Ghost on a MS/win partition can not be
achieved
when used on a FBSD slice because the ghost created image file
contains all the unused space as well as the used space.

Jacob S. Barrett had the idea of zeroing out the unused space before
running ghost, so ghost will compress all the zero filled space
resulting in an image file size and elapse run time comparable to
what
you would achieve on a MS/win partition. This is a great work
around.



Before running the Ghost program from native booted ms/dos you have
to run this command on FBSD before shutting FBSD down.


dd if=/dev/zero of=filler bs=1m ; rm filler


Below is the original thread

Yes I have tested it,  and it works great.  Be sure to turn
compression
on to high to get the best results.  Here is what I saw after
zeroing
the unallocated blocks using the dd command.

FreeBSD partition size: 11G
Allocated space: 6G
Ghost image size: 3.4G

Before zeroing out the images on this box were between 8-9G.
Needless
to say our IT guy is much happier that my box isn't chewing up 9G
per
image on the system anymore.  And I am happy that imaging this
machine
only takes an hour now rather than 4.

[FBSD5] es1373 - Creative PCI : recognized, but no audio output atall

[Matthieu Bonavita]

This is not my first problem about soundcards under BSD.
I was using a SB16 Vibra ISA , and I found a more recent PCI es1373 (Ensoniq , SB128). 
I hoped real PCI PnP would help me. 

This time, listening to MP3/sound videos doesnt slow dramatically down my computer, 
but I just don't get any output at all. (nor CD audio)

I followed the handbook (device pcm) in kernel.

> cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0:  at io 0xdc00 irq 11 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)

In dmesg :
pcm0:  port 0xdc00-0xdc3f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0

Anyone has a clue ? 
The soundcard worked well 2 years ago, no reason it would be dead.
I tested inverting the CD Audio cable, unsuccessfully.

That is (probably) my latest big problem with FreeBSD (I run 5-RELEASE)

Thanks.

USB Flash Memory Drives support under FreeBSD

[Vladik Kozin]

Are such devices as for instance, IBM MagicKey, PQI Intelligent Stick, 
USBdrive, ThumbDrive and other USB Flash Memory Drives, supported by FreeBSD. 
I know most of them are supported by Linux, so one doesn't have to install 
any drivers before use. 
I've checked Hardware Notes for both 4.8 and 5.0 Releases - nothing

ipfw / dummynet using a timing mechanism?

[Thomas S. Crum]

Hello List,

I am running dummynet on freebsd to limit bandwidth.  I was wondering if
there is a way to set up dummynet, presumably with ipfw, that would
allow something of a rate fallback based on seconds.  For example, user
A begins a download and is piped at 10mb/s through dummynet.  After 5
seconds if that connection is still active it would be sent to a
different pipe, say at 5mb/s.  After another period of time it would be
sent to yet another slower pipe, and so on.  Any thoughts, configs,
answers are appreciated. Tom

Hi Vladik,

funnily enough, this has just been discussed over on the -stable list.  The
consensus seems to be that most USB mass storage devices will just work --
especially those that don't need any special drivers on Windows or (better
yet) Linux.  This has certainly been my experience with various memory card
readers and 'pen drives'.

Some devices might need a 'quirk' entry adding to the kernel to cope with
their particular weirdness.  These are pretty easy to add if you don't mind
rebuilding your kernel.

I fully agree that the existing documentation isn't as helpful as it could
be.  I was going to put together some changes to make it clearer what is
actually supported, which you have now reminded me about :-)

Cheers,

Scott

I think so. GEOM makes it impossible to write to disks that are currently
"in use". Best bet is to boot from a floppy.

FreeBSD should be able to address all of the devices, but most Intel hardware 
doesn't have the PCI bus throughput to utilize that many effectively.  Basicly, 
you want a seperate PCI channel for each RAID card if you can get it.

I am running this ssh command on serverA as root.

network installation help (ADSL, HUB, WinXP)

[Kaya Koch]

Hi,

I've just installed FreeBSD 5.0 (minimal), here is some info of my system:

1.6GHz P4, 512MB RAM

2 hdd's:

hdd1 : 1 partition = Win XP Pro
hdd2 : 2 "slices", first is FreeBSD, second is FAT32
installation went smoothly, installed Boot Manager ok, can boot into both 
Win XP and FreeBSD without problems

network config:

we have a home LAN, 3 computers (including mine, all with Win XP) connected 
to a hub, and the hub is connected to an ADSL modem. Ie:

INTERNET - ADSL MODEM -- HUB -- COMPUTERS

hub is:

Surecom 8 Port 10/100M Ethernet Mini Switch (EP-808SX)

my ethernet card is:

3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet (3C905C-TX Compatible)

ADSL modem is:

Alcatel SpeedTouch Home

with Win XP, the network works fine, each computer can connect to the 
internet without problems. The IP addresses for the computers on the LAN are 
autoconfigured, same goes with the connection to the internet. Connection is 
through WAN Miniport (PPPOE).

okay, so here is where I need some help:

1) Firstly, is it possible to setup freebsd in a similar way to how my XP is 
currently set up, ie. can I connect to the LAN, and access shared 
directories in the other computers?

2) To connect to the internet using XP, I have to create a connection to my 
ISP (iiNet in Australia) and have to execute the "Connect to iiNet" 
shortcut, ie. my computer is not connected to the internet at all times. How 
do I go about setting up a connection to the internet in freebsd? (Is it 
okay to use a hub, instead of connecting directly to the ADSL modem?)

The way I am currently installing new packages to freebsd is : boot XP, 
download packages to FAT32 partition on second hdd, reboot, boot into 
freebsd, mount the FAT32, copy the package over to freebsd, install the 
package. As you can imagine, this takes sooo long...

any help is appreciated,

-Kaya

Newer machines support hardware monitoring of voltage levels, fan speeds, etc. 
See whether you can get one of the motherboard monitors running, and see whether 
 the voltage rails from the power supply are sagging out of tolerance when you 
put a heavy load on-- say 10% for most, or going outside of 5% for Vcore.

racoon problem with transport mode

[Tobias Roth]

Hi

I want to set up an ipsec transport connection between two freebsd

the connection is set up correctly in only one direction:

When I flush the SPD, pinging from both sides works. Though when I ping
from A to B instead from B to A as above (with the SPs set), I get a
.ping: sendto: No such file or directory.

My racoon.conf files look correct to me:

A# cat racoon.conf [heavily snipped]
path pre_shared_key "/usr/local/etc/psk.txt"
listen
{
isakmp 192.168.0.1 [500];
}
remote anonymous
{
[snip]
}
sainfo anonymous
{
[snip]
}

and on B the same except the listen part. The stuff I snipped is also
identical on both hosts, it has been taken from Dru Lavignes onlamp
tutorial (great work, btw!).

psk.txt has correct privileges and looks like this on both hosts:

192.168.0.66 secretkey
192.168.0.1  secretkey

A# setkey -DP [snipped a bit]
192.168.0.66[any] 192.168.0.1[any] any

out ipsec
esp/transport/192.168.0.1-192.168.0.66/require


Ok, I think that's all information that is important. I don't really
know where to look for the problem, is it a problem at phase 2, or is
phase 1 briefly established and then somehow collapses, and therefor
the problem is at phase 1? Can I rule out a routing problem, due to
the fact that with a flushed SPD, pinging works? The firewall is set
to let everything pass, btw. Is it a problem that both hosts are on
the same subnet?

Any help is apreciated, and please tell me if you need more information.

thx in advance, t.

Changing to a PS/2 keyboard after install

[Gary Schenk]

FreeBSD fuzz.socal.rr.com 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #3: Sun Jun  8 
11:47:48 PDT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/FUZZ  
i386

I installed FreeBSD on this machine which came with a USB keyboard and 
mouse. The keyboard has problems, and for various reasons, I'd like to 
replace it with a PS/2 keyboard. Only problem is I can't figure out how 
to do it.

Getting a PS/2 mouse running was easy through sysinstall.

Just plugging in the new keyboard did not work. After searching the web 
and mailing lists, I  thought that recompiling the kernel with  the 
following lines would work:

# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device  atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device  atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1  # flags 0x1
device  psm0at atkbdc? irq 12

I commented out the flag 0x1 and recompiled and rebooted. That did not 
work either.

As of now the only way I can see to get the PS/2 keyboard working is to 
reinstall. That seems like overkill. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Reliable USB NIC?

[Scott Mitchell]

I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but I'm looking for a reliable USB NIC
that's supported by FreeBSD 4.8 or -STABLE.  It's going to be attached to
my cable modem (currently 512kbps down, 128kbps up, transferring a few
hundred MB daily) so speed is not really relevant.  What I do need is
something that will stay up for months -- essentially the time between
kernel upgrades -- without needing any attention from me.  Sadly it has to
be USB, since the machine it's going in only has room for 1 PCI card, and
that's occupied by the wireless adapter.

Hmm, I guess 'not too expensive' and 'available in the UK' should be on
that list too :-)

Does such a beast exist?

Cheers,

Scott

things you install from the ports or through packages get started from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ . Things in the base system get configured to start
in /etc/rc.conf and ge tstarted by scripts in /etc/rc.d (for 5.0 and later).
kdm gets started through /etc/ttys (I think... maybe there is also a
different method). Modules can be loaded from /boot/loader.conf.

hope that helps, t.

Newbie wirless install question

[Scott Miller]

Hi List,

I am attempting to install FreeBSD on my Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop.  I am
using partition magic (boot magic) and Windows 2000 Pro on the machine
already.  The install goes fine.  When selected, the machine boots into
FreeBSDand I can access my router and the Internet through the built-in
10/100 NIC.  X windows, sound and my wireless card are not working.  I want
to solve these one at a time starting with wireless.


I am using a NETGEAR MA401 PCMCIA card and a MR314 wireless router with 128
bit encryption.  Both pieces of equipment work under windows.  After I boot
into freebsd I use ifconfig to set the SSID and the wepkey.  The link light
on the card is solid (this usually means the card is configured and
connected correctly).

However, I cannot even ping my router.  I have read the man page for
wlconfig but, I have been unable to correctly apply it to situation.

I consider myself an experienced computer user but, I am brand new to
FreeBSD, detailed instructions and explainations would be appreciated.

Please help.


Thank you,

Scott

Remove your freetype22 port, then remove any libfreetype.so.x libraries in
either /usr/local/lib or /usr/X11R6/lib.  Then, reinstall freetype22.
That should set you straight.

Re: set of ethernet adress on boot

[RCW]

Yes, that is possible.  You need to put a file with the following name in
/etc:  start_if.

If you do a quick / in vi after loading rc.network, you'll see that
it looks for such a file during the initialization of the interfaces.

hope this helps

Security Run Output E-Mails

[Jasvinder S. Bahra]

Hey folks,

I'm wondering if you can help me. I have a basic knowledge on UNIX and freebsd, and 
together with the advice of some friends, resources on the internet and an absolutely 
ridiculous amount of toil and sweat, i've managed to put together a somewhat secure 
firewall/gateway machine.

Now, at regular intervals, e-mails are sent to me by the machine...

HOST.DOMAIN.TLD security run output
HOST.DOMAIN.TLD daily run output
HOST.DOMAIN.TLD weekly run output
HOST.DOMAIN.TLD monthly run output

Now, I receive these e-mail regularly at differing times each day (as appropriate). 
For example, the security and the daily ones are sent a couple of minutes after 
03:00am in the morning. The weekly one is sent a couple of minutes after 04:00am. The 
monthly one... 05:00am.

What i want to know is *where* are these script execution times defined? If I want to 
change the monthly run output script to run at 05:30am (for example), where would I go?

Thanks for your time.

Jazz

loading the official nvidia driver at startup

[Jeff Blaufuss]

I recently installed the official nvidia driver (version 1.0.3203) from 
the ports collection my FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE machine.  Is there a way to 
load the nvidia.ko module at startup?  I've tried putting 
nvidia_load="YES" in my /boot/loader.conf file, which was suggested in a 
message I found in the archives of freebsd-questions, but it didn't work 
for me.  The module doesn't get loaded, and I still have to run "kldload 
nvidia" to get things to work.

Boot(1,2) issue on 4.8 Compaq System

[Ed Powers]

Greets.

I have a newly upgraded 4.8 system that I can no longer boot without
convincing.  I don't beleive the trouble arose due to the upgrade, which always
occurs without an issue at all.  The problem occured when I made alterations to
the Compaq BIOS settings that changed the order in which my drives are probed
and booted.

The following is the setup:

First Controller- Seagate 4G- Boot and Root
(Embedded)

Second Controller   - Compaq 18G- Data (Vinum RAID 5)
(Embedded)Compaq 18G
  Compaq 18G
  Compaq 18G

Firing up the system shows the Seagate probed first, then the four drives in
the array. Originally things wee the other way around, but the Compaq BIOS
setup reversed this and I seem to be unable to get the system working again
the "old" way.  I decided I didn't really care what controller went first, so
long as the machine boots and does it's job.  Alas, I can't seem to find a way
to make it happy anymore.

The system goes through boot0 by grabbing mbr appropriately off of the seagate
(the only disk listed that has an mbr).  Then at boot1,2 I get the
"Invalid Partition" error showing that it was unable to find root / kernel  at
0:da(0,a)/kernel

Because at this stage of the boot process da0 is still the first compaq drive
in the array - NOT the seagate.  If I manually enter 4:da(0,a)/kernel the
system boots and the system works ok - aside from all the issues that arise
from not using the loader to boot a kernel.

The thing is, when the system does come up is sees the disks at I would expect
it to:

# camcontrol devlist
at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)
  at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,da1)
  at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass2,da2)
  at scbus1 target 2 lun 0 (pass3,da3)
  at scbus1 target 3 lun 0 (pass4,da4)
   at scbus2 target 4 lun 0 (pass5,sa0)

# df | grep /$
/dev/da0s1a 64462   42230   1707671%/

I have altered the disklabels of each of the devices to reflect new positions,
so they too appear as how I think they should:

# foreach d (0 1 2 3 4)
  foreach? disklabel -r da$d | grep disk:
  foreach? end
disk: da0s1
disk: da1s1
disk: da2s1
disk: da3s1
disk: da4s1

So, I think the question is why is boot1,2 still thinking that my drives are
configured as they were originally (with the seagate at da4) but yet the BIOS
is providing the correct order and the OS - once it is installed - is also
seeing the config correctly.

Thanks...
Ed Powers

Hi David,

In your recent message you had some issues with FT_GET_BDF_Property in fontconfig:

> The error below seems to start with;
> /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_BDF_Property'

Can I ask if you have at sometime built some XFree86 components from source?

I'd check for extra versions of XFT and freetype that have been installed in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/ 

Perhaps you might try a find in /usrX11R6/ for libraries that are older than your last 
major build of XFree86 + components.

I had the same issue some time ago with a freetype2 library that I'd forgotten was 
installed when I built XFree86.4.2.93 manually. Later builds from ports did not 
overwrite the library.

good luck,

Same experience here.  (One of these days DRI for Radeon 9500/9700 *will* 
appear in XFree CVS/snapshots a couple of weeks before the ports are 
updated, and then all the problems will have been worth it???;)

I surely never mind doing this :) Once you've got a working source for your 
kernel, you'll never get into big problems, cause each time you need to add 
only a few strings. So, you always can say which strings happened to become a 
problem.

Thanks for you answer. I was going to buy one of those 'pen drives' for 
myself. Nothing seems to prevent me from doing this now :) I believe its 
always a good idea to check the compatibility of the hardware one's going to 
buy with the OS used.

Yes, that may have been it. I deinstalled freetype2 and deleted

That did it. After a make install of gdm2 it installed fine.

ADSL: Using mpd(8) for PPPoE

[Rob]

Listfolks,

I'm trying to connect a Netgear DM602 modem to my FreeBSD 4.8 firewall.
I haven't used PPP over Ethernet before, and I'm not making much
progress.

The Handbook[1] talks about using ppp(8) and netgraph modules. Renaud
Waldura has written an excellent tutorial[2] on this, and I also found a
guide[3] to using ppp with Telstra (which is my provider).

But there seems to be a question about whether ppp(8) is the best
approach. The benchmarks for 'usermode PPPoE' at [4] are very
disappointing, and they mention mpd as a better option. And when reading
about FreeBSD+ADSL in Austria[5], I came across this comment:

  Another way to setup such a connection is using the netgraph-system
  and the mpd package, which is a little more "BSD style" and is (in
  my experience) more stable than pptp-client.

So I looked at /usr/ports/net/mpd and it handles all the ppp traffic in
kernel using netgraph, which seems like a good approach. The
documentation is very thorough and there's lots of sample
configurations.

I copied the samples for PPPoE, changed the username and interface, and
this was the result when I started it up:

  Multi-link PPP for FreeBSD, by Archie L. Cobbs.
  Based on iij-ppp, by Toshiharu OHNO.

There is definitely a rl0 interface, which I configured to be on the
same subnet as the modem:

  rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
   inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
   ether 00:c1:28:00:e6:0b
   media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )
   status: active

I also tried it with the interface unconfigured (in case mpd(8) wants to
do this itself) with the same result.

I've spent the last day searching google, and can't figure out where the
problem is, let alone how to fix it. If anyone actually has it up &
running, I would really appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks.
Rob.

I'm actually very glad you brought this up. I also am very unimpressed
with ppp, and have been considering mpd for quite a while. I have not
had time to delve into it yet, but I would certainly appreciate whatever
information you'd like to donate in terms of experiences, problems,
solutions, reading material, etc.

Also, you might subscribe to the freebsd-net mailing list. That one
might be more suited to discussing this topic in detail.

Good luck!

ppp(8) also uses netgraph for PPPoE.  Anyway, are you sure you need to
worry about mpd?  My Pentium 120 router handles my 1.5MBit ADSL at
full speed with ppp(8)'s pppoe.

Re: ADSL: Using mpd(8) for PPPoE

[Rob]

If I can't get mpd(8) to work, I won't have a choice :-)

The difference between them (as far as I can tell) is that mpd keeps all
the actual packet handling out of userland, so there's less overhead.
I've only got 512k/128k ADSL on a Pentium 166, so it doesn't sound like
ppp(8) will be a bottleneck, based on your experience.

I'm trying mpd because it looks like the 'cleaner' approach - on the
other hand, it seems to be the minority choice in terms of general
usage.

Shell line parse needed

[Derrick Ryalls]

Thanks to help from here I have MRTG setup on a 4.7 server, but now I
need help with parsing console info.  I want a script to report CPU
utilization by a specific process.  When I type this:

top | grep hlds

it gives me:

60905 root10   0 54960K 49736K nanslp   1:26  0.00%  0.00% hlds

What I need is to get the last whole number before hlds, which should be
cpu utilization.  For instance, if the line was:

60905 root10   0 54960K 49736K nanslp   1:26  4.61%  5.23% hlds

I would need the script to report:

5

If no matching process is found, it should report 0.

I was thinking of writing a C prog for this since that is the language I
can use, but I am certain this could be a very small shell script.

Thanks in advance.

This gets you the 5 if the process is running:

top | grep hlds | awk '{printf "%d\n", $10}'

Sound Blaster Live DD5.1

[Thomas T. Veldhouse]

I have recently purchased a Dell Dimension 8250 which contains a Creative
Labs SoundBlaster Live! DD 5.1 card.  My previous SoundBlaster Live! card
was detected in FreeBSD 4.7, but this one is not detected in this machine
using FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE (cvsup to it).  No pcm devices show during boot.
Is there a way to give the kernel a hint?  There is no way to shut of PNP in
the BIOS, as Dell as not added this option.

Windows XP is showing:

I/O Range: DC40-DC5F
IRQ: 18

Thanks in advance,

Tom Veldhouse

Re: Sound Blaster Live DD5.1

I believe the soundblasters in dell machines are special in some kind, I
have a dell as well and the SB Live that came with it works fine under
windows, but does not work at all under FreeBSD, however I had an old
Live (exact same spec as the one that came with the machine) and it
works just fine, I have no idea what's different about the dell ones.

Dell has a bad habit of using unique PCI-ID's for hardware that it buys
from others.  Can both of you do 'pciconf -lv' and post the output?  It
might very well be as easy as just adding the Dell IDs to the driver.

Re: Sound Blaster Live DD5.1

Here goes

I currently have both the dell soundblaster and a boxed soundblaster in
the machine so you should see both.

If there's anything else you'll need let me know.
