Speaking of this, does anyone here have any experience running Linux VMs
on vmm/vmd? I threw Alpine/Debian installs together recently and
they seemed to work well. Looking for anyone with longer-term experience
as I'm interested in setting up a VPS hosting service on vmm/vmd, and
would appreciate any advice or anecdotes.



Re: Can't boot Nov 21 amd64/bsd.rd - finishes at 'entry point'...

2014-11-27 Thread Jes
I was experimenting the same behaviour in my T410. With recent snapshots 
(november) or building a new GENERIC.MP kernel after update from CVS, 
the system freezes just when the boot process starts.


I can confirm that the system boots normally after activate NX. In my 
thinkpad's bios the NX is located at:


Security / Memory Protection / Execution Prevent

I don't know if this behaviour is intentionally or a bug. In 5.6 stable 
the system boots though NX is deactivated.


I must say too that the system is much more stable doing suspend/resume. 
With 5.6 stable the system tends to hang on resume. But with current 
suspend/resume works perfect.

5.5 current resume hangs

2014-04-13 Thread Jes
From at least a couple of month my laptop doesn't resume after suspend. 
Mine is a thinkpad T410 with intel integrated gpu. The behaviour seems 
to be the same as reported in:


http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/T410i-resume-broken-with-amd64-bsd-mp-and-revision-1-249-of-acpi-c-td240150.html

But, I think in december 2013 my laptop was able to resume with current.

With the SP kernel the system suspends and resumes perfectly.

I didn't see any other report besides the previous one about this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Jes



Failed to hibernate in 5.4 current i386

2013-11-05 Thread Jes
This ocurrs in last two o three snapshots (I cannot be more precise) but it
used to work fine in current.

Hibernation fails with the following message:


insufficient swap space for hibernate

My computer has 8Gb for RAM, but it's i386. The swap partition is big
enough:

'top' marks 8763M of swap:

Hibernation it's very useful due to a problem in my laptop (Thinkpad T410
with IvyBridge): no powered usb ports on resume after suspend. Hibernation
is a good replacement for suspend when it runs out of battery.

Any idea what can be happening?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Failed to hibernate in 5.4 current i386

2013-11-05 Thread Jes
Sorry, I don't understand you. You says the problem is solved since
yesterday (the snapshot my computer is running is from 03/11/2013), but at
the same time you says the swap size is not bib enough, but it's more than
the memory+64Mb (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=20120712101743).
And, in fact, my laptop hibernated one week ago (more or less).

I have two swap partitions, sd1b and sd1j. The total amount of swap is
about 12G. I think with the small one (more than 3Gb) the system
hibernated, and with the 8Gb it did too.

Could you explain a bit more this?

About the USB problem... thanks for solve it :)

  And, in fact, my laptop hibernated one week ago (more or less).
 

 The old way (up until yesterday) entailed the following:

 1. Check if the default swap device (the one printed in autoconf) was the
 size of physical memory or greater. If not, abort hibernate.

 2. Next, check if the range consuming the last physical memory size
 amount of swap was unallocated (eg, on an 8GB machine, check to make
 sure that the last 8GB was unallocated). If not, abort hibernate.

 You probably had something swapped out into that end range, so we aborted.

 But as Theo mentions, this discussion is moot due to the improvements
 that went in yesterday.

  I have two swap partitions, sd1b and sd1j. The total amount of swap is
  about 12G. I think with the small one (more than 3Gb) the system

 We currently only use the default swap device. Any extra swap you've got
 defined is ignored.

Re: Feedback about Desktop Environments

2013-09-17 Thread Jes
Regarding samba... there's no need to automount samba folders because you
always can browse them via file browser (konqueror, thunar or nautilus),
but if you want you can mount them in /etc/fstab. Simply read the
documentation about permissions and syntax. It's very easy.

For NFS the best way is mount them in /etc/fstab too.

For external disks/pen drive, hotplug-diskmount, as Marc said, it's the
best option. This pretty tool automount the drives when inserted and
unmount when the drive is plugged off. If the drive is FAT you can extract
it before unmount it. For other systems different from FAT you must unmount
before extract.

Re: Feedback about Desktop Environments

2013-09-16 Thread Jes
Hi all:

I use during so long time KDE3. Nowdays I prefer xfce4. Gnome3 is a bit
ugly for me. I prefer WMs that integrate the file browser and other tools.
Because of this I don't use WindowMaker or FVWM or Enlightenment If I'd
only had to code I'll use vim and some minimalistic wm.

In my experience, KDE3, Gnome3 and XFCE4 are good choices for general use.

Not related with the desktop choice but with the performance... In OpenBSD,
all versions, I note performance decrease (not smooth mouse movement or web
page scrolling) when the machine is doing any heavy reading/writing task or
cpu compsuming (for example a rsync or zip/unzip a big file). Has anyone
else experienced a similar behaviour?

 DE. Years ago I did use KDE3 and liked it but changed because I did not
 like KDE4.

 Does KDE3 work  well on OpenBSD? Things like k3b and similar apps that
 come with it or, is XFCE more likely to have better support for graphical
 apps to play CD/DVD's, burning media, music, stuff like that. That is what
 my partner will want to use. I can do the configuration, where necessary,
 but don't want to be constantly hassled into showing how to use stuff. So
 it needs to be idiot proof lol ;-)

 Gnome 3 is not something I'll give too much consideration too.

 Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for your input. I agree, having a file browser would make life simpler 
for average users. For me, though, the best file browser on UNIX systems is the 
shell (ksh).

This is what you've observed with KDE, then?

Cheers, Jamie.




I've observed that behaviour in KDE, GNOME3 and XFCE4. Always when a lot 
of readings/writings are taking place in the disk, or for example, when 
the CPU load is high though in a only core. My machine is not very old; 
it's a thinkpad T410 with 4 cores and 8MB RAM (amd64). If only one core 
is on high CPU I experienced a not so smooth scrolling in firefox, or 
the mouse pointer jumps from one place to another one when moving. I 
didn't experience this in linux or freebsd... And it ocurrs in 4.9, 
5.0... and 5.4 current.


Back to the desktop environments... KDE includes some tools for 
administration (users, permisions, etc.). Konqueror file browser is a 
bit old and has some bug (for example moving files, cut/paste) but it 
works well in general. If you want to more integrated desktop with its 
file editor, file browser, clipboard tool, display tool (for screen 
resize), burn cds, etc. KDE is a good candidate.


Gnome3 is more modern than KDE, if it fits your needs in terms of 
functionality and you like its appearance then probably it works in a 
better way than KDE.


If you need something simply, but functional, with a small application 
tools for thinks like file browser, image viewer, simple edition, 
clipboard management, folders in desktop, panels for quick launch, etc. 
XFCE would be a good option.


Maybe it's a question of install the three and test them.

For coding or administration only, probably wms like ratpoison, xmonad, 
and so would be the right election, in terms or reduced CPU and memory 
consumption.

Re: Changing Architecture from amd64 to i386

2013-02-27 Thread Jes
In my experience it's perfectly possible to move from one architecture 
to another one.


I do the following:

- backup /etc (only for security)
- remove all installed packages (I save a list of installed packages to 
figure out what to install again after)

- sysmerge for etc and xetc
- update the system with the new architecture (update, not install)
- adjust $PKG_PATH and reinstall packages deinstalled at the beginning, 
or new ones of your election.


No major problems detected.

Re: Downlink speed limit

Solved. There's no problem with my laptop or nics. It's a problem of the 
web speedof.me. For some reason, this web does not measure in the same 
way in linux than in OpenBSD. I reinstall OpenBSD but in i386 flavor. 
With i386 I can use gnash in Firefox and try other flash speed test

With flash speed meters, the result are the hopped: about 20Mbps.

Downlink speed limit

2013-02-21 Thread Jes

Hi all:

I'm running current amd64. I've detected a problem with the network 
speed. My internet connection is cable, with 20Mbps. In Linux, with 
several speed meters (my provider's and, for example, speedof.me) I 
always get around 20Mpbs in donwlink, and about 2-2.5 Mbps in uplink. 
But with OpenBSD current there is a limit around 4Mbps in downlink 
(uplink is ok).


It doesn't matter if the PF is enabled or disable, the speed is always 
~4Mbps.


Ethernet card is in 100Mbps full-duplex.

I've google a lot and tried several sysctl tweaks but without success. 
Right now I've finished to upgrade to the last snapshot and the problem 
remains.


Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Jes

 You need to run current with latest HW. Not release/stable.
 
 


IMHO OpenBSD is pretty usable in a laptop, old or modern. Most of things
run in the right way. From my point of view only a few things are
missing now:

- usb ports after resume, but only in certain thinkpad models (like
  X201, I guess, and T410)
- no disk journaling
- no NTFS support
- no Linux emulation in amd64


But there are some advantages:

- suspend/resume out of the box (except the usb stuff in some
  computers). 
- speed booting and shutting down
- simplest installation/upgrade way
- it works with modern integrated intel video cards (no need of kvm,
  thought no acceleration)
- pf firewall


I have OpenBSD current installed in my laptop, with Fedora. My primary
system right now is Fedora, but for other reasons. My OpenBSD current
works perfectly for most of my tasks: internet navigation, mail,
perl/mysql development, music, video, photos, etc.) 

My advice: it is well worth to try and experiment by yourself.

 Update to -current.  jsg@ committed some patches that make X work
 better, and allows for suspend/resume to work.

 Btw, USB does work fine.



In my experience T410 runs fine with 5.1 and current (5.2) except
there's no usb power after resume. But it resumes, the sandybridge
support is quite good, and no major problems.

Ah, apmd does not work very well nor 5.1 neither current. There is a
patch you can see in my blog:

https://nixbsd.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/openbsd-patch-apmd-for-smp-architectu
res/

I saw this patch in some forum (I don't remember which one) but the
code can be grabbed from http://junkpile.org/apmd.diff. I think this
patch should be merged in source in next releases. The current apmd
implementation is not good enough on SMP architectures.

This patch provides a better cpu speed control.

I'm waiting for any improvement that leads to a functional usb behaviour
 after resume. It's annoying to reboot in order to use an usb
ports after suspend/resume.

Hola Tito:

I agree with Ted Unangst, older machines have better behaviour with
OpenBSD than newer ones. Thinkpads are good machines for OpenBSD. I own
a R61 and T410. OpenBSD runs fine in the R61 but in my T410 there is a
problem with suspend/resume and USB ports (no power on resume). I think
T420 runs well too.

All my laptops are second hand (from ebay). I prefer to adquire
batteries and memory to update instead of pay a lot of money for a

 USB 3.0 interface are capable of supplying much more power than USB
 2.0; some PCIe USB 3.0 cards have an extra power connector the way
 higher-end video cards do. Unless your attached devices are actually
 USB 3.0-able the extra features are useless.

 Maybe your BIOS has an option to switch them to USB 2.0 compat mode.

Hi Peter:

Yes, I know about USB 3.0. I don't use any 3.0 device. And there's no
2.0 compatibility options in bios, as fas as I know. There are one
option to maintain power even in suspend mode to power devices like
phones or modems, and other one for compatibility with devices like
iphones, ipods, and so... I was playing with this two options but no
success. With any combination, the USB port always run fine except
after resume. This maybe an issue with new i3/i5/i7 T4xx/T5xx/Wxxx
lenovo laptops... I don't know. In linux they work fine before and
after resume.

USB not working after resume

2012-07-26 Thread Jes
I've read something about this in older posts. I don't know if there is
some advance on this issue. My laptop is a lenovo T410 running last

Is this something related to USB 3.0?

NFS and mounted dirs by hotplug-diskmount

2012-07-20 Thread Jes
Hi all:

I have one computer acting as NFS server for some directories. One of
these directories is /vol, where the hotplug-diskmount daemon mounts
external disks (usually FAT32). 

The problem is that whereas NFS is working well (rest of dirs are
available through my local network) those mounted by hotplug-diskmount
are missing. I can't see any of this dirs. If I export these dirs
in /etc/exports for NFS, then I see this dirs but no content is shown
inside them.

Any idea about this? I suspect it's something related to the
hotplug-diskmount internals but maybe there's a solution...

I agree with Juan Francisco, In think it would nice to have a more smoth
speed control cpu way, forma example like the proposed oneroso in this
thread, similar to netbsd. Andris it would nicer if in a future openbsd
implementar the P-states oferta the cpu, to save battery on laptops.
Anyway my openbsd laptop (thinkpad R61 2200 Mhz ) has a good performance
with apmd -C.

 Hi. I've been using OpenBSD on my netbook daily for a few months. I was
 using apmd with the -C setting. My netbook is slow and the battery life
 is important, so 800Mhz (apmd -C) or 1600Mhz (apm -A) is not a big
 difference for me.

 Now I have a desktop computer with support for cpu speed scaling. In
 this case the options of apmd are very limited. If I use -A my cpu is
 always at 2700Mhz, wasting energy and heating my room (I live in the
 very sunny Extremadura :) ). If I use -C, apm rarely raises the speed
 and the cpu is almost always at 800Mhz.

 This is important because when I open a web page with a lot of
 javascript, the browser is very slow. Also when I compile something with
 make -j1, apmd doesn't raise the speed of my CPU, I need use make
 -j4 for raising the cpu speed to 2700Mhz.

 I understand the problem with the limits of apmd. The developers can't
 generate a limits for each CPU and workflow. I've been playing with the
 values of PERFINCTHRES and PERFDECTHRES on usr.sbin/apmd/apmd.c and
 checking the changes of speed with while true; do apm | grep cool;
 sleep 1; done. I'm using 20 and 60 respectively right now. Probably
 this values aren't the best values but are better than the defaults (for
 my CPU and workflow). The performance is very good and I can see the cpu
 speed raising and lowering. I've tested various values and 20/60 are a
 good compromise performance vs energy consumption.

 In short, I have a suggestion for apmd. Add one option for to set
 PERFINCTHRES and other for to set PERFDECTHRES. Each user could to
 configure the behavior of apm -C on rc.conf.local. Example:
 apmd_flags=-C -I 20 -D 60. Obviously, apm -C would use the defaults
 if both options aren't used.

 The implementation is simple and it will not break any system.
 Unfortunately I can't code the idea (despite I've read the code), so I
 wanted share this with you.  Some developer interested? :)

 Cheers.

kqemu in 5.1

2012-05-04 Thread Jes
Hi all:

I can't find kqemu between snapshots packages, ports, or even in 5.1
packages. I think I've read something about kqemu is deprecated in
newer versions of qemu (1.0.1) Is this correct? Because performance
without kqemu is horrible. Any solution?

Thanks in advance,

Jes
