laptop pccard ethernet
I have a laptop with fbsd 4.10. it seems that altho it boots and recognises the PCMCIA ethernet card, that it never successfully executes the ifconfig for IP number and gateway. I have to enter these two commands manually _after_ it completes booting, and all ethernet activities are fine after that. is it possible that during the booting sequence the PC card recognition is too late in the process? Are the rc.conf command line entries order specific. (I always thought that they are noa)t.

I have a DiamondView DV650U scanner that is supported by SANE, but I
always assumed that because FBSD doesn't detect it as a uscanner device,
just a ugen, it wouldn't work. How would I edit uscanner.c rebuild
whatever to see if it works?
usbdevs -v gives the following:
-- Controller /dev/usb2:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x),
VIA(0x), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1, FlatbedScanner
22(0x20b0), Color(0x04a5), rev 1.20
port 2 powered
I've been meaning to write this up, so here's a first pass, and I used
your specific scanner as the example. Feedback welcome...
Making FreeBSD Recognize A USB Scanner That Shows As ugen
1. Install FreeBSD source
2. Find the new device's product and vendor codes
# usbdevs -v
-- Controller /dev/usb2:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x),
VIA(0x), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: full speed, self powered, config 1, FlatbedScanner
22(0x20b0), Color(0x04a5), rev 1.20
port 2 powered
The product code is shown first, then the vendor, so this is product
0x20b0 from vendor 0x04a5.
3. Add product and vendor codes to USB modules
# cd /usr/src/sys/dev/usb
Add vendor and product codes to /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. For
example, the vendor code (0x04a5) shows that this DiamondView DV650U
is really an Acer scanner. According to
http://www.sane-project.org
it is a rebadged Acer 4300, and Acer is now called Benq, so device names
can be somewhat variable. We'll just call it an Acerscan 4300.
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs already has ACERP 0x04a5 as a vendor, so we
just have to add the product code for this scanner. Search down in the
file for the list of ACERP products, copy and paste the line for one of
the other scanners, and change it:
product ACERP ACERSCAN_4300 0x20b0 Acerscan 4300
Following the instructions at the top of the file, use make to generate
the other USB source files:
# make -f Makefile.usbdevs
4. Add scanner string to uscanner.c
Now we need to add the new device to /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/uscanner.c.
Find the ACERP section and copy one of the existing lines, modifying to
match the new device:
{{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_4300 }, 0 },
5. Install
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/usb
# make all install
6. Submit PR
After you've got the new device recognized and showing uscanner on
connection rather than ugen, use send-pr to submit the changes you've
made to usbdevs and uscanner.c.
Notes
It's been a while since I've done this; if any steps are missing
or incorrect, please let me know.
This procedure only gets FreeBSD to recognize the scanner. SANE
configuration is still required to use it with that program.
A cvsup of your source files will overwrite these changes. That's why
step 6 is important. Once the changes have been committed to the
FreeBSD source tree, they will be permanent improvements to FreeBSD's
scanner support.
-Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
Thanks for replying Warren. I hope I can be of help in getting this
documented.
I've followed your instructions carefully, but my scanner still comes up as
ugen0.
I have the following in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
/* Acer Peripherals, Inc. products */
product ACERP ACERSCAN_C310U0x12a6 Acerscan C310U
product ACERP ACERSCAN_320U 0x2022 Acerscan 320U

product ACERP ACERSCAN_620U 0x2060 Acerscan 620U

{{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_C310U }, 0 },
{{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_4300 }, 0 },
then I did
daemon:/usr/src/sys/dev/usb % sudo make -f Makefile.usbdevs
which output:
/bin/rm -f usbdevs.h usbdevs_data.h
awk -v type=USB -v os=`uname -s` -f devlist2h.awk usbdevs
Then I did:
daemon:/usr/src/sys/dev/usb % cd /usr/src/sys/modules/usb
daemon:/usr/src/sys/modules/usb % sudo make all install
This gives lots of output, but ends with:
touch /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/export_syms
awk -f /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/../../conf/kmod_syms.awk
usb.kld /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/export_syms | xargs -J% objcopy % usb.kld
ld -Bshareable -d -warn-common -o usb.ko usb.kld
install -o root -g wheel -m 555 usb.ko /boot/kernel

After that, I rebooted plugged the scanner in, but the response was:

cron and vfork
I'm having a problem with cron and vfork. Here are a couple of samples from the cron log:- Aug 22 16:13:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89748]: (root) CMD ( /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux) Aug 22 16:15:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89749]: (CRON) error (can't vfork) Aug 22 16:15:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89750]: (CRON) error (can't vfork) Aug 22 16:17:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89752]: (root) CMD ( /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux) Aug 22 16:19:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89754]: (root) CMD ( /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux) Aug 22 16:20:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89756]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Aug 22 18:59:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89952]: (root) CMD ( /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux) Aug 22 19:00:01 central /usr/sbin/cron[89953]: (CRON) error (can't vfork) Aug 22 19:00:01 central /usr/sbin/cron[89954]: (CRON) error (can't vfork) Aug 22 19:01:00 central /usr/sbin/cron[89956]: (root) CMD ( /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux) The problem started with the first error entry shown here. Note that this is a work machine and the problem appears at 4:15pm on a Sunday when all should be quiet which seems to make any of the vfork failure mechanisms mentioned in the man pages vfork(2) and fork(2) unlikely. The presence of a problem became evident when when I was unable to log into the machine Monday morning, neither from a console or through ssh on the LAN. At the console it puts up a login prompt and accepts the name entry but that is all -- no password prompt and no further activity. I've had to reboot the machine with a brutal physical reset. The same thing happened at the quiet part of the previous weekend. The cron jobs are all in /etc/crontab and the problem when it occurs is always at a time when 2 jobs clash: /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux and /usr/libexec/atrun or newsyslog and /usr/libexec/atrun /usr/local/sbin/nwmail2linux is a process that picks up e-mail for three people from a Novell system and and delivers it to 3 linux machines via ssh and mail.local. This is programmed to activate at each odd minute in the hour. The machine is running FreeBSD 4.9 with vinum disk mirroring. Its main reason for being is to manage backup of a number of FreeBSD and Linux machines all of which happens in the late evening and early morning hours and in any case not on Sunday night/Monday morning. It is also used as a gateway between 2 physically isolated LAN networks and between IPX and TCP/IP and as mentioned above some mail management. The problem seems to have begun with a change to the e-mail management. Previously The machine was used to retrieve mail from Novell for only two people - one delivered locally to a conventional unix mailbox (and acessed via ssh and kmail) and the other passed on via rsh to a HP-UX machine. I've not found anomalies in any other log files. The only explanation I can think of sounds rather far fetched, that the linux machines somehow take a long time to waken from slumber in the quiet of Sunday afternoon and the e-mail jobs begin overlapping until too many processes exist -- but surely it could not be that many. Even when not accessable through login the machine seems for the most part to be carrying out its intended roles. Does anyone have any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

Problem installing on VIA 8237 SATA
I'm trying to install 5.2.1 on a machine with a VIA 8237 SATA controller. Although the controller is detected on boot the same is not true for the drive (a 200GB Seagate Barracuda). According to the man page the controller is fully supported and having STFW I can't find anything useful to aid my cause. Having looked through LINT I can't see that there's anything that would be useful to pass at boot time, so does anyone have any suggestions? All advice or pointers to docs etc appreciated.

Digi PCI / XEM 16-Port
I have tried several times now to compile a GENERIC kernel on 4.10-STABLE with dgm0 (Digi Ports/16em, PCI version!) enabled, and have had no luck. Can anyone give me pointers? Right now, it's not showing up in dmesg (no errors, no warnings, nothing). The config line I have been using is below (but it's the one straight out of LINT). I've done a lot of googling and maillist searching; most of the documentation is for the ISA version, and not the PCI version. I've tried chaning 'at isa?' to 'at pci?' with no luck.

Hello Forrest, Take a look at the FreeBSD From Scratch article by Jens Schweikhardt at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fbsd-from-scratch/in dex.html. This article describes my efforts at FreeBSD From Scratch: a fully automated installation of a customized FreeBSD system compiled from source, including compilation of all your favorite ports and configured to match your idea of the perfect system.

Reinstalling, then upgrading (Was Re: Salvageable? (Was Re: make installworld error))
Thanks to everyone who has been answering my questions over the past several days (weeks) concerning installing and upgrading FreeBSD. I am now going to try again. I am installing v. 4.8 on a server. This server is to be a Postfix w/Courier IMAP server integrated into a Linux-based network, authentication centralized using PAM LDAP. That's about it. Now, some people might say, don't install 4.8 go straight for 5.x. The reason I am doing this, however, is because I want to not only know how to perform upgrades, but I want hands on experience. So, hopefully I am not making this too difficult for me. Finally, while I'm reinstalling 4.8, I would like to know something about the following. It seems to me that cvsup is actually downloading the entire repository of packages for FreeBSD. Is that really what one has to do to perform an upgrade? It seems like what you would need to do is merely upgrade those packages necessary for the latest kernel, then upgrade the kernel, then upgrade all installed packages. (Packages meaning ports, right?) Thanks again!

SCSI disk to disk dump restore
Hey Gang, I had an older scsi disk going bad, so I picked up a new disk to replace it. I did a dump | restore to move the data to the new disk, but it went far slower than expected. I'm wondering if there's an issue with the different disk speeds. Old disk from dmesg: da0: QUANTUM ATLAS IV 18 WLS 0808 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 17522MB (35885168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2233C) New disk, as reported by dmesg (it's a seagate U320): da2: SEAGATE ST336607LW 0007 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da2: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da2: 35003MB (71687372 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 4462C) The dump was 13G, and took about 2 hours. I calculated that out to be about 1.8MB/s. Of course, that's total time I'm sure there's some dump overhead (though, i didn't use -L) - but still, 2 hours for 13G?! I'm thinking there was a jumper or parameter I should have set due to the different disk types. Note that I removed da0, but there's still another quantum in the machine on the scsi chain.

So, hopefully I am not making this too difficult for me. Upgrades across major-version boundaries are not recommended for novices. Furthermore, FreeBSD is currently in the process of moving the STABLE branch from 4.x to 5.x, so there aren't many updates going into 5.x right now. Finally, while I'm reinstalling 4.8, I would like to know something about the following. It seems to me that cvsup is actually downloading the entire repository of packages for FreeBSD. Is that really what one has to do to perform an upgrade? It seems like what you would need to do is merely upgrade those packages necessary for the latest kernel, then upgrade the kernel, then upgrade all installed packages. (Packages meaning ports, right?) You're using Linux terminology, I think. To start with, remember, that FreeBSD is not just a kernel -- it's an entire working operating system, and you upgrade all of those (base system) parts together. That's why buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, and installworld are all part of the same upgrade procedure (which includes several other steps as well). In FreeBSD, a port is a third-party application ported to be built from source on your system. A package is a pre-compiled binary of that port. Once installed, they are both tracked (and removable) by the same database, usually referred to as the package database. See the FreeBSD Handbook section on Installing Applications: Packages and Ports for a full explanation. So you don't update ports or packages in order to update your base system, but you may need to update them afterwards (usually /usr/ports/UPDATING will warn you when this sort of thing occurs; it's quite rare aside from the bleeding edge. Which brings us to what cvsup actually gets you: a collection of files. What those files are depends on which collection you configure cvsup to get for you, but the two primary collections are: src-all, which is all of the source files (normally kept under /usr/src) needed to build the base system; and ports-all, which is the whole collection of makefiles and local patches (normally kept under /usr/ports) needed to download the source of, compile, and install the third-party applications. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: how to view .ascii file?
Jay O'Brien wrote: I'm trying to read the 'paper.ascii' file contained in /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make/paper.ascii.gz and it is a mess. This is a tutorial on make. I've unzipped the file in a WinXP machine and I can't find a display tool that will not show the formatting stuff in the file. Thanks to all for the fixes; they all work except lynx, apparently because lynx isn't present. I didn't realize there's such a difference in plain ascii between FreeBSD and Windows. Now that I can read the file, I see that it isn't what I thought it would be; it is referred to at the end of MAN MAKE and I thought it would be useful, as it was called a tutorial. It reads like a foreign language to me, however, as I don't (yet) have the basic understanding of MAKE that it expects. This all started as follows: I did a make install clean of XFree86, hoping to start over and take another shot at LCD display parameters. The message I received said it was already installed, and You may wish to 'make deinstall' and install this port again by 'make reinstall' to upgrade it properly. I want to know how 'make deinstall' and 'make reinstall' operate before I use them. But that's another subject.

Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current
I'm still fighting with the Epson Stylus C63. I can print images with gimp through gimp-print and after configuring cups I can print the test page and it looks great but I can't print anything else. Other programs see the printer configured by cups and can send jobs to, what I assume to be the queue although they don't show up in kjobViewer and I can only verify their existence with lpc status all and it shows: # lpc status all c63: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area c63 is ready and printing The light on the printer blinks but it's never printed and just goes away. I suppose that since I know nothing about cups, I'm mixing it with lpd with no knowledge of interoperability, assuming that it exists. I would love to be able to just update apsfilter with the new gimp-print drivers and use lpd but I haven't been able to make it happen. I've recompiled ghostscript, gimp-print and apsfilter multiple times from ports. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated. ed ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Question for the PPP wizards
Hello, My FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE laptop and I are going a trip in the near future to a location that has no broadband access. The only internet connectivity I'll have is dialup. The good news is my ISP is TimeWarner/RoadRunner and they have dial-in access. The bad news is the details for configuration are hidden in an executable GUI that works, of course, only on windows. I broke down and installed XP on a spare drive for the laptop, and installed the GUI dial-up tool. I successfully connected to my RoadRunner ISP and got a log of the session. Also, buried in the installation directory is a text file called login.scp that was very revealing. It appears that Time/Warner has allied with AOL to use their dial-in resources. So they're playing some tricks with a login script by prepending aolnet/ent. to the username and appending , raw to the username and password. With my FBSD disk back in the laptop, I fire up userland PPP, get into the term, and dial the local access number. I enter: aolnet/ent.MYUSERNAME, raw MYPASSWORD, raw I get the 1st capital P in Ppp, but then the session hangs as it waits for: Aug 23 20:03:18 eden ppp[738]: tun0: Phase: Chap Input: CHALLENGE (16 bytes from rrlns1-mc1) Aug 23 20:03:18 eden ppp[738]: tun0: Phase: Chap Output: RESPONSE () I don't know what to enter at this point. If I use the stock ppp.conf and modify it to fit my needs, ppp sends my username but appears to truncate the username at the comma character in the username. It can't get past the Chap Input: CHALLENGE and Chap Output: RESPONSE () either. So here I am, very, very close to getting dial-up working but at an impasse. Has anyone successfully dialed into AOL or RoadRunner from FreeBSD? Can someone shed some light on my predicament?

As a learning exercise, which Desktop environment should I install as a first effort, and how do I run it? Entirely up to you. GNOME and KDE are full featured desktop environments, and rather large builds; if you just have the hots to get started immediately, something smaller might be the thing; blackbox, fluxbox. Kind of middle ground might be XFCE or Enlightenment (and there are literally dozens of others...probably some that are quite good, but I've never tried and maybe not even heard of 'em...) Everything (as you're noticing) is highly configurable, so you learn how and where to do this, that, and the other to get things to look and work the way you want. Oh, and be sure and read the friendly manual. Some things there are real helpful when wading into X for the first time. (Or at least they were to me.) I'm referring to the FreeBSD Handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html Desktop Environments I intend to install Mozilla as a browser, in case that makes any difference. Not really. Unless you've slow hardware, etc. Mozilla will eat some resources, and if you're running a big DE (KDE or GNOME) and Mozilla and a few other apps on a Pentium II you might not get a very snappy response from your box... Also, what is the mechanism that interprets the X command to run XFree86? Well, startx(1) is a good one, though other ways exist. Something you might try as a first step. You must be root, of course: %cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox %make install clean %cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla %make install clean Then, go to your HOME directory and edit or create .xinitrc. Start out simple, one line is all that's necessary: exec fluxbox Then, from the CLI console: %startx startx(1) reads a few files in your homedir, ending with .xinitrc, and then executes fluxbox (in this example) after starting the X Server. Blackbox/fluxbox, AFAICR, don't do iconification without additional tweaking (more programs). Use the right and middle mouse buttons to access pop up type menus. If you've got time, bandwidth, and machine to burn (CPU/RAM, etc.), you could go straight for one of the big DE's. I've never tried KDE, but I'm liking GNOME o.k. All you'd need in .xinitrc is exec gnome-session. Ports generally install some documentation in /usr/local/share/[portname], /usr/share/[portname], etc. These files are invaluable for learning the basics of getting up and running --- look for README or INSTALL, etc. Plus, most have a man page as well, as do all the system calls, if you will, listed above HTH, Kevin Kinsey ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, package-recursive is useful, rather not wasteful, only if a port depends on previously un-packaged ports. This problem (no straightforward way to indicate what exactly the outcome is) is inherent even in compilations (or file naming conventions we have). Since make package has undergone build process, and doesn't know if it is being repackaged with the same set of files, it probably took the safest path, which is the right thing, I guess. How about use of digest checksum(s) stored in a port's file to compare w/ that of port's package before start of package-ing? If package name is different or the checksums don't match (say, different options, CFLAGS such), package should be built. - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, Michael Lucas has an article on installing OpenBSD on one of their boards: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2004/03/11/Big_Scary_Daemons.html Best of luck, Seems my options are limited, but thanks for the links... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current

I suppose that since I know nothing about cups, I'm mixing it with lpd with no knowledge of interoperability, assuming that it exists. I would love to be able to just update apsfilter with the new gimp-print drivers and use lpd but I haven't been able to make it happen. I've recompiled ghostscript, gimp-print and apsfilter multiple times from ports. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated. ed Just to check, you have removed the base install's lp* utilities right? - -- Anish Mistry -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBKstMxqA5ziudZT0RAqk2AJ4gq9oTgtmfk95JFTR+a318PbtghACgv4b7 ELydFXHy2Wq80dEXW66ETvg= =h5FC -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: XFree86 -- next step?

That in itself doesn't seem very useful, but it works. As a learning exercise, which Desktop environment should I install as a first effort, and how do I run it? I'm referring to the FreeBSD Handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html Desktop Environments I intend to install Mozilla as a browser, in case that makes any difference. Also, what is the mechanism that interprets the X command to run XFree86? Well any thing in ~/.xinitrc will be started when you run startx. If you are using xdm it will be ~/.xsession. Man xinit for more info. :) Here are a few fun places to start... http://xwinman.org/ http://www.freebsd.org/ports/x11.html browse till you find one that fits you and then install it and try it out. :) BTW if you are new to X and not found it yet X -configure and xf86cfg -textmode are your friend when creating a new config file for X :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Copy all files and subdirectories preserving time stamp?
Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 74, Issue 3 Message: 14 What would be the way to copy all files and subdirectories from one directory to another--preserving the time stamp and other attributes? It seems that 'cp' usually puts a time stamp of the current date and time. Would this work? cp -r -p -@ /some/source/directory/* /some/target/directory/ # cp -pR dir1 dir2 works for me. See the note in 'man cp' re hard linked files, though.

panic: page fault in /stand/sysinstall on Asus K8V with Athlon 64
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 in a new machine which has an Asus
K8V motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ CPU and 1GB of PC3200 ECC
memory. Storage is a pair of Seagate ST-3200822A 200GB UATA-100 disks
in a mirror group on a 3Ware Escalade 7006-2 RAID controller.
Initially, I didn't have a CDROM drive on the machine, so I created a
pair of floppies using /cdrom/floppies/{kern,mfsroot}.flp from the
FreeBSD Mall CD and attempted to boot from them. After loading both
and going beyond the kernel config menu, FreeBSD booted then puked:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
panic: page fault
Thinking perhaps FreeBSD 4.10 was being weird, I tried 4.9. It got
very slightly further, displaying most of the first menu screen, before
the page fault.
I then scrounged a CDROM, installed it, and tried booting directly off
the CDROM. Same results, both for 4.10 and for 4.9. I also tried 5.2.1
with a similar outcome.
I didn't think the 3Ware care was likely to be a problem but just to be
thorough I pulled that and tried again. No change.
Naturually I've gone through the archives and it seems that others are
using the K8V successfully.
Any suggestions?
