kernel panic in OpenBSD 5.6 release
Hello, 1) If I run transmission-gtk with ex.: 20 torrent files and I'm on a 50 mbit/sec network, after ~10-15 minutes (network fully used, ethernet, not wifi) my OpenBSD 5.6 64bit on a T61 will always crash and brings up the gdb. Is that normal? How can I help debug it? I'm not running it as root, I'm running it as a normal user. I only set the default datasize-max=2048M in login.conf. 2) If I run mplayer with several videos on a kiosk (Devon IT TC5 x86), after ~21 days the OS crashed. gdb again showing. Before there was a winXP machine that did almost the same: after a given time, a few weeks, mplayer crashed. The solution: put a reboot in crontab for every week. How can a userspace program cause an OS crash? Or I am missing something? How can I help make it better? Or it's just an OS config? Thanks!

Problem with Bacula and LTO-5 unit
Dear misc@,
Have been using OpenBSD with Bacula (and LTO-4 tapes) with great success
for many years.
Our bacula server just got upgraded to a Dell PowerEdge R420 with one LTO-5
tape unit. This server is running OpenBSD 5.6-stable.
The problem is that bacula's btape(8) keeps giving me a Reposition error
-- I have tried many different parameters, including Use MTIOCGET= no,
etc. (please see below the btape output)
Anyone using OpenBSD, Bacula and LTO-5 units?
Thanks!

When you have SHELL set to /bin/ksh, the shell executed by system(3)
is unrestricted, so it *can* write to the temp file, and it can
start the pager with an absolute path. That's why tedu@ failed to
reproduce your issue, i think.
On the other hand, when you have SHELL set to /bin/rksh, the shell
executed by system(3) is restricted and stuff fails - what you saw.
Now, the old BSD man(1) isn't very secure (system(3) - yikes!),
and as you see, the whole concept of restricted shells isn't
very secure either, more like some Swiss cheese: At least it's
easy to inadvertently set up in a way that the restrictions don't
actually take effect or can be circumvented. Here is another
exploit of a technology that is weak in the first place:
schwarze@isnote $ echo $SHELL
/bin/rksh
schwarze@isnote $ /bin/rksh
$ cd /
/bin/rksh: cd: restricted shell - can't cd
$ csh
isnote:schwarze {1} cd /
isnote: {2} pwd
/
isnote: {3}
The good news is that:
* OpenBSD 5.7 no longer uses the old BSD man(1).
* man(1) no longer writes temp files but uses pipe(2).
* man(1) no longer uses system(3).
* With the new mandoc implementation of man(1) in OpenBSD 5.7,
man(1) works no matter what, even in a restricted shell
with SHELL set to /bin/rksh.
So i fixed your problem some months before you reported it. :-)

Re: How to run a GUI app without X?
On 03/03/15 14:15, someone wrote: If X security is so bad, how can one run a GUI app, ex.: Firefox without it? you can't. Firefox was designed for a very few graphical interfaces -- Windows, X, and maybe whatever it is on Mac. Using framebuffer? How can then someone use a GUI password manager to copy the pwd to the Firefox in the fb? you won't. google doesn't gives too many answers, to be more precise, zero per hour can someone at least give keywords to what to search for? how does my computer work?. This is one of those questions that if you understand how things actually work, it's kinda self-explanatory. Back in the very old days, every program was written to the hardware it was run on. OSs provide a layer of abstraction, so you write your application to the OS, and the OS deals with the hardware. Change your hardware, you just reconfigure your OS, and the app doesn't have to know. Plus now one app can use the OS to transfer data to another app. In the days of PCs, the OS didn't support the graphics, so graphics apps had to either support the hw directly or be written to a lower common feature set (and boy, did the IBM PC have a very low graphics feature set) X provides that layer of abstraction for graphical apps on Unix. Windows provides that layer of abstraction for ... well, windows apps. Both environments do a lot more than just put dots on the screen, both also include handling data between apps (i.e., cut/paste). This is a lot more than just a frame buffer. You want to use an OS frame buffer for Firefox? ok, great...step 1, write a common API usable on on multiple OSs (Solaris, *BSD, Linux, AIX, HP/UX ...). Step 2: Implement on those OSs. Step 3: Rewrite a lot of apps (including Firefox) to use your API instead of X or Windows. Step 4: wait for the world to say, yeah, but it doesn't run MY app, so I'm not using it!. Step 5: listen to the few people who even tried it say, Hey, this isn't nearly as fast as the GUI support on X or Windows! Yes, X sucks. (See the fortune(6) files for some commentary on X) But it IS the unix standard at this point, I can't even remember an also ran. Changing it would be very very difficult. Besides, if you are running Firefox, X is probably not your biggest security problem. If your computer is a wooden ship, X is the termite colony that might eat through the hull of your ship and sink it some day. Firefox is the cluster of icebergs that are currently surrounding your ship. Nick.

X really slow dragging windows
Somewhere along the road of moving from 5.5 to 5.6 (i386) my performance in X has really taken a hit when dragging windows around. The window trails the pointer by several inches. X performance used to be surprisingly good on 5.5. I note the following lines in Xorg.0.log: [56.517] (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: ATI Radeon Mobility 7000 IGP 4437 (ChipID = 0x4437) [56.519] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working, using shadowfb for KMS fw_update reports no updates, (it does list a couple radeon entries as it checks for firmware).

I've successfully used FreeBSD FFS partitions in NetBSD, after adjusting the MBR partition type (A5/A6/A9) and disklabel (renamed sd0d to sd0h since NetBSD uses sd0c for the entire BSD MBR partition and sd0d for the entire disk), so I would expect it to work with these adjustments, but it is by no means guaranteed (this was several versions ago), and caveat emptor applies. tar is good and simple if you're restoring the whole thing right away, but if you want to easily get various individual files out of the backup or rearrange the structure, rsync to ext2 (or ffs, maybe) would be better.

See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#locales in case you didn't set up your locale yet. Set your locale's charset to the charset used by your filenames. Then try colorls again. If charsets align, it should just work. In case you have mixed charsets in filenames which then causes ?? this is very hard to deal with in any case. In this situation you could pkg_add convmv and use that tool to straighten out filename charsets. Perhaps tedu's diff is a good idea, perhaps not. Making ls(1) aware of character encodings has some advantages (e.g. multi-column output always aligns properly) and some disadvantages (need to set up the locale first, can only use one charset at a time). Just allowing any garbage might sometimes make things appear to work as if by magic, but could also corrupt your terminal or worse. Then again, ls probably shouldn't be in the business of compensating for bugs in terminal emulators. I suspect many other tools aren't, either (e.g. df(1) doesn't care).

Please check bellow link for errors messages... http://homepages.iitb.ac.in/~ninadshaha/IBM_Errors.mov A little hint: One way to get less attention to your question than you might like is to post pictures rather than putting the information in your e-mail. Posting a MOVIE is probably the best way to get almost no attention from those that you want to notice you. Get a serial cable and grab your dmesg and error message. Failing that, hand-transcribe at least enough to let us know you really care enough to get our attention. (might want to set your system clock properly, too.) Nick.

pkg_add failure in March 1 snapshot
Hi! I've updated to March 1 snapshot, and after sysmerge tried to update packages. What I got was: : $ sudo pkg_add -u : Use of uninitialized value $file in hash element at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/Temp.pm line 80. : Use of uninitialized value $error in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackageRepository.pm line 723. : sh: syntax error: unexpected EOF : Use of uninitialized value $filename in open at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackageRepository.pm line 649. : http://ftp5.eu.openbsd.org/ftp/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/ is empty followed by a list of installed packages that failed to update. -- Dmitrij D.
