Re: x11/nvidia-driver: crash with FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE/amd64 when module loaded via /boot/loader.conf

 On one of my FreeBSD 9.0 boxes running FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE/amd64 (CLANG
 built), equipted with a nVidia GT760Ti graphics board, loading the
 nvidia module via /boot/loader.conf results in a page fault with random
 error messages before rebooting.
 
 Booting the box without the nvidia.ko module loaded in he preboot phase,
 results in a stable system. I can then load the module via kldload and
 the system jumps then into X11-screen as usual.
 
 I recompile x11/nvidia-driver on a regular basis when recompiling the
 kernel, so the module is always up to date and en par with the kernel
 sources.
 
 The problem occurs idendependently of having kernel module drm.ko loaded
 or not. I also tried falling back to the older nvidia driver 285.05.09
 (I use at the moment successfully 290.10).
 
 Before issuing a PR and doing a full debug reconfiguration of my box,
 I'd like to ask whether this is a commong, well known problem since with
 FreeBSD 9.0, I'd like to stay with STABLE rather than with RELEASE.

No. But build your x11/nvidia-driver with no more than -O. Better with
gcc (clang may be OK, but I'm not sure). Furthermore, if you use
x11/nvidia-driver, you have no need to load drm.ko, which is for, e.g.
radeon cards.

 Oliver

Re: emacs-devel glib-warning

 Hello!
 I considered switching from emacs23 to emacs24 over the
 christmas-holidays.. So I removed emacs23 and installed emacs-devel
 via ports. Emacs runs fine, in terminal, but it crashes my whole
 X-system when I try to start it as X-client... The error message tells
 me that there is a glib-problem: GLib-WARNING **: In call to
 g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but
 SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by
 waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the
 program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status,
 or don't set the SIGCHLD action.

I am currently using emacs-devel, however, I have been using glib-2.30.x
from marcus's experimental ports for a while. It seems everything is ok.
Either you can tweak some configure args availabe to emacs-devel, and
see how it is going, or you might pull the glib-2.30.x port from
Marcus's site and give it a try.

Good luck!

 
 I have emacs-devel installed, and glib-2.28.8_2.
 
 I am runnig xmonad as WM, but it happened on awesome as well..
 
 Does anyone know what I can do to get emacs to work as X-client? ;)
 
 Thanks in advance!

Re: chflags on zfs (sappnd)

 Hi everbody,
 from http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS I understand that chflags are
 supported by zfs. But if I have a file with sappnd on a zfs
 filesystem, I am unable to execute a command like this:
 
 # touch lili
 # chflags sappnd lili
 # ls -lrto lili
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  sappnd 5 Nov 17 12:38 lili
 # echo lala  lili
 # echo lala  lili
 -su: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
 
 So, the first time it worked, but it stops working on any consequent
 time (when the file is no more empty).
 I found a bug report on:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=149495
 
 where a patch is suggested. Nevertheless, even though my sources are
 newer than the suggested patch, my source tree does not contain it.
 Do we know anything more about it?

nothing appeared. But the file content was unchanged.

 Howto rebild kernel with litsted in kldstat modules? 

Remove all the symbol files in /boot/kernel, I think. You don't need
them. Actually 500 mb for the root partition is enough.

Re: devfs ignores pass0 entry at boot time

 Hi all,

 There appears to be a small and vexing bug in devfs. I've got the following 
 devfs.rules:

 add path 'da1*' mode 600 group wheel user mark
 add path 'usb*' group cups
 add path 'usb*' mode 0666
 add path 'ugen*' group cups
 add path 'ugen*' mode 0666
 add path 'cd*' mode 660 group wheel user mark
 add path 'pass0' mode 660 group wheel user mark

 All entries except the pass0 are working fine:

 tower# ls -la /dev/pass0
 crw---  1 root  operator0, 107  9 Mär 13:57 /dev/pass0

 After /etc/rc.d/devfs restart

 tower# ls -la /dev/pass0
 crw-rw-rw-  1 mark  wheel0, 107  9 Mär 13:57 /dev/pass0

 Do you have any ideas what's wrong?

try to write like this:

add path `pass*` mode 660 

there is no problem with my 7-STABLE/amd64.


 I'm using 7.0-STABLE/amd64
