Why FreeBSD procfs is so different from the Linux one?
Hi, When I look at /proc/PID/ in FreeBSD I see the files: cmdline ctl dbregs etype filefpregs map mem notenotepg regsrlimit status and in Linux: cmdline cpu cwd environ exe fd maps mem mounts root stat statm status Why there's such a difference in procfs interface to the process information? In addition Linux has /proc/self/ link which is named curproc in FreeBSD. Isn't it better to have the same interface across the systems?

Calling syscalls through int 0x80 documentation?
Hi, Is there a documentation on how to call system calls via 'int 0x80'? Which registers should contain which values. BTW I am well aware of system call 'syscall' but still need to use 'int 0x80' :-) Thanks, Yuri ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks Derek.
This site just says: parameters on stack.
So when following this I write the function 'mysyscall' (below) it doesn't work.
It should return 3 but returns 14.
And I am on i386.
So something is missing.

Derek,
Opening a file is just an example. I want to be able to make any system call
this way since my program for whatever reasons has to be compiled with such gcc
options that prevent being linked to system calls in the traditional way. No
hardware issues for me.
Btw I submitted the wrong assembly code with my previous message.
The right one (still not working) is below.
Lack of documentation causes me to ask this kind of question here.

How to match /proc/#/map entries to the library/executable file name

"Error cracking CSS key" error while running dvdbackup on video DVD disk
I know that similar question was already asked in numerous groups/mail-lists but I couldn't find the definitive answer. Sometimes when I run dvdbackup (port sysutils/dvdbackup) I get the following error: libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB (0x3ae0) and many other ones similarly looking. After some debugging I found that error originates in libdvdcss, in file 'ioctl.c': ... struct dvd_authinfo auth_info; memset( &auth_info, 0, sizeof( auth_info ) ); auth_info.format = DVD_REPORT_TITLE_KEY; auth_info.agid = *pi_agid; auth_info.lba = i_pos; i_ret = ioctl( i_fd, DVDIOCREPORTKEY, &auth_info ); ... here lba = 15072 and agid=0 (in one of the cases). Simultaneously dmesg reports another error line: acd0: FAILURE - REPORT_KEY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x6f ascq=0x04 And stderr message is being printed: libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB (0x3ae0) So is this likely a bug in libdvdcss, libdvdread or ATAPI driver?

How stable is FreeBSD WiFi support?
I have FreeBSD-70 machine and Linux Gentoo machines side by side (within 10 feet). Gentoo Linux (with old AirLink101) connects to a particular encrypted WEP network without any problems all the time. FreeBSD (with ral0 device and native driver) connection is very unstable, keeps disappearing, though network card shows signal level as -90:-95. dhclient fails to set up the card, often dhclient succeeds but all name lookups fails. When internet connection is established all TCP connections get dropped after 10-20 minutes or less. I feel like I hit some bug in FreeBSD WiFi networking support. Anyone has similar experience?

Strange memory/cpu behavior
I have STABLE-71 machine with 2GB memory and single 2GHz AMD3200 CPU. There is one large active process slowly growing in memory from 500MB to 1300MB, not reading or writing any files. There are many dormant processes almost not running at all. Swap size remains constant (185MB). Total physical memory used remains 2GB (whole memory used). ps shows that the active process only takes 15-18% CPU. But total CPU consumption on the machine is 100% (user). Since the active process grows but swap+physical memory doesn't grow I assume that OS pushes out other processes code since it's unchanged on disk. Why such operation is so expensive and takes 80-85% CPU? Why total of all user processes CPU consumption is ~20% but total CPU(user) consumption shows as 100%? Shouldn't they be the same.

Copying audio CD with dd/cdrecord produces unplayable CD
I am trying to copy an audio CD. First I've ran: dd if=/dev/acd0tN of=track-N.cdr bs=2352 for every track. This gets raw track files. Secondly I run: cdrecord -v -dao -audio $* dev=2,0,0 speed=4 This is supposed to recreate the original CD. But when I try to play it I can hear only noise. What I am doing wrong?

Re: Copying audio CD with dd/cdrecord produces unplayable CD

It sounds like "byte order reversal" which makes the typical noise.
In order to 1:1 copy a CD, I'd recommend the use of the cdrdao
tool - "cdrdao read-cd" and "cdrdao write" are the commands.
It's easy to use them in order to get a CD "at once" and then
reproduce it to blank media.
If you need to use cdrecord, you can "preprocess" the .cdr
files with "sox -x". You can always use the "play" command
(from sox) to check what your files sound like.
This is a sample command to turn .cdr files into .wav files,
just to illustrate the correct parameters for interpreting
the .cdr (CD audio data) format:
sox -r 14400 -c 2 -b -L -S ${OUTFILE}.cdr ${OUTFILE}.wav
Thank you Polytropon,
Byte order was really a problem.
Strange that burncd is supposed to take the original byteorder and
cdrecord takes reversed one.
I didn't try burncd since FreeBSD 4. Since then, I#m very
comfortable with cdrecord and cdrdao and the atapicam facility.
burncd is still recommended by handbook for ATAPI CDROMs
for some reason.
I feel like cdrecord is much nicer and once suggested to retire
burncd in handbook and to always recommend cdrecord instead.
But some people disagreed.
Thanks for your helpful response,

You would need network byteorder on Sparc but the MMC CD-ROM drive delivers intel byteorder due to a bug in the MMC standard cdrecord always asumes network byte order for RAW audio data, this is reasonable - Why would you deal with raw audio data at all if there are audio file formats that include a notation for byte order and sampling rates? - There is no jitter check and no quality control with dd on FreeBSD, cdda2wav works on all OS and has jitter control and qualiti control with e.g. libparanoia. - There is no way to get the correct CD structure back if you use dd. Cdda2wav reads meta-data and puts them into *.inf files. - With dd, you cannot read intentionally defective media as sold by the music mafia. Allowing to read CD-DA using dd on FreeBSD is a nice gag but nothing I would recommend in order to create a copy from an audio CD. Thank you, good points. This seems to be reflected in the Handbook.

But the hole it leaves with MALLOC_OPTIONS='dM' is way larger than the one left by 'Dm' option. Usually malloc will keep allocating addresses higher than this initial value and will never come back and fill some parts of this gap. Therefore "wasting" this space.

ERROR: code NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004) - Operation aborted (extended info not available) Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.

How to set up WEP network on 8.0 in rc.conf?
I use this working script to start WEP network: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ifconfig wlan0 ssid "xyz abc" weptxkey 1 deftxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0xXX up dhcpcd wlan0 How do I write an equivalent line into rc.conf? Section 31.3.3.1.4 in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html suggests this: # ifconfig /ath0/ ssid my_net wepmode on weptxkey 3 wepkey 3:0x3456789012 \ inet /192.168.1.100/ netmask /255.255.255.0/ So I wrote: ifconfig_ath0="ssid xyz\ abc weptxkey 1 deftxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0xXX DHCP" and it doesn't work. This line: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 became necessary in 8.0 and it creates wlan0 device, which is missing when I use the above line in rc.conf. There's also a space in ssid. So what would be the correct rc.conf in my case?

Why in f10 scim doesn't work from skype?
When I switched from fc6 to f10 scim stopped working in skype. It shows the prompt but only English language is available. In fc6 scim worked fine from skype. I believe scim picks up environment variables: LANG, XMODIFIERS, QT_IM_MODULE, XIM, XIM_PROGRAM and displays languages based on them. So I think linux infrastructure modifies some of those variables.

Upgrading becomes many times faster when binary packages available are available. Missing binary packages are due in the main to three reasons: * Restrictive licensing terms * Ports that through bugs, or otherwise, fail to successfully generate a binary package. Some ports (eg. sysutils/screen up until about 2 months ago (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/screen/Makefile.diff?r1=1.77;r2=1.78)) just won't package successfully, even if they build, install and run perfectly well. * The port has a dependency on another port that failed for reason (2). Because the ports build cluster installs the dependencies of the port it is currently trying to build from binary packages, any lower level port that fails will prevent packages being built for anything that depends on it. Thank you for this information. Let's put aside #1. There are probably very few of those. It still seems strange: on my system all of the ports that I need build ok. Why would the port build successfully, but would fail to generate a binary package? Isn't packaging just gzipping resulting binaries with some minor additions? Also why wouldn't the cluster build and install a port, once the package fails? This way the #3 item is eliminated completely. Since it looks like there is much more likely to build a port then a binary package.

Boris Samorodov wrote: Delete firefox3-i18n package (www/firefox3-i18n port) and install firefox35-i18n package (www/firefox35-i18n port). This works. Thanks! But still LANG variable isn't used. Instead there is a FF-specific way: through Tools->Quick Locale Switcher menu. Not clear why this is dependent on the OS (in Linux it's still LANG variable). Maybe it's the option of FF build process that was chosen differently.
