Nope. Kernel has nothing to do with it. That won't work.

I had also previously tried " make clean all install

WITHOUT_LUA_LOADER=yes" in /usr/src/stand which did not help.


You could just do "ln -sf /boot/loader_4th /boot/loader" and reboot if
that's the issue. Or at the boot2 prompt, you could type in
/boot/loader_4th if you haven't booted yet.

You could also do a simple 'make install LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th" which
does approximately the same thing.

Though why you'd get loader.lua not found is kinda crazy

Hi Warner,

I've tried those things, unfortunately none of them worked. With forth, 
things are slightly different (no more lua error), but ultimately the 
same result: - the kernel doesn't load ("can't load 'kernel'").


I lastly tried "ln -sf /boot/loader_4th /boot/loader", now I get "No 
/boot/loader" and a boot: prompt. I can do "boot/loader_4th" which will 
use the forth loader with the results the same as the above.


Any help is appreciated - this is a very important box unfortunately. :(

Thanks,

-Brett

After this past week I appreciate the easy button!
 
 See email archive for long story.
 
 The short story.  You did not have kerberos on your
 system, which means that compile_et is not present
 in /usr/bin.  Now, you want kerberos and kerberos
 does not build compile_et as a bootstrap tool.  So,
 now you need to manually install compile_et.  The 
 fun really begins because you need some header/library
 from kerberos to build compile_et.  So, once you figure
 out which header/library you need, you build and install
 it.  Then build and install compile_et.  And, finally,
 you can make world.
 
 

I appreciate the short story.  I like to understand the how/why of
things.

I am giving this a try, but it still begs the question that since I
never changed make.conf before and never made any choices about
building or not building kerberos why it broke all of the sudden.  What
changed?  

I am also going to test Gonzo's solution.  I will report back what I
find.

Can not build world

2013-02-14 Thread Brett Wynkoop
Greeting-

For the past week I have been unable to build world for arm on my
Raspberry Pi.  The process broke just after I updated /usr/src.
Several updates in the intervening week have done nothing to change the
results.  It always bombs trying to build kerberos.

Please no suggestions to cross build world.  If that is the answer you
must be thinking of the wrong question.  At the moment consider my only
working FreeBSD boxes are a Raspberry Pi with 512Meg of ram and 16 G of
disk and a BeagleBone with 256 M of ram and 8G of disk.

Needless to say I have not updated /usr/src on the BeagleBone, and will
not until the issue on the Pi is resolved.

FYI I am not subscribed to freebsd-current, only freebsd-arm, so if you
reply to current please keep freebsd-arm in the cc list as well.


I always do a make clean before trying the make buildworld.  

I am really stuck here.  I also know others in the arm world had this
problem in the recent past, but it started to work for them after
another update to /usr/src.  That has not happened for me.

As you can see I am logged in on pts/0 since 2:05PM.  I was never able
to keep an ssh connection alive more than 30-40 min with the driver
that is in head.  I think you should check it into head now so people
setting up new BBs get the benefit.

As discussed off list there is still room for improvement, but I think
that can be better handled if this much more stable driver goes into
the tree sooner rather than later.  It will allow for more testing and
feedback to assist with the next round of improvements.

This thing is running so well now that I am about to put a web server
on the box and give it a static IP address.

Once we have USB I think the BB will become my primary mail and web

Re: [head tinderbox] failure on arm/arm

2012-11-10 Thread Brett
 
 NetBSD is hit-or-miss to build successfully, more miss than hit.  NetBSD 
 supports GPT awkwardly but has no support for USB 3.0.
 
 NetBSD is rather unstable.  I think I'd trust FreeBSD-current over a stable 
 or release version of NetBSD.
 
 How does OpenBSD compare in that regard?
 

 I think DragonFlyBSD just introduced USB 3.0 support in 3.2.1, but that is 
 off by default.
 
 There are live USB images available for DragonflyBSD from 
 www.dragonflybsd.org, 
 and live USB images available for OpenBSD at liveusb-openbsd.sourceforge.net .
 
 I'd like to try, just to see what they look like and how or if they support 
 my hardware.
 
 
 Tom

I haven't used NetBSD for a while. OpenBSD (both current and release) are very 
stable and predictable. Totally trustworthy. The six month release cycle seems 
to encourage incremental change. The lack of multiple branches means its a lot 
easier for developers and porters to stay on top of things.

FreeBSD has more new features (such as the USB 3.0 you mentioned), also more 
support for other hardware tweakables (e.g. more Intel CPU power saving modes).

I've only briefly used DragonflyBSD but plan to get it cranking again on one of 
my machines soon. The release version I tried before seemed pretty solid and 
gave good (desktop) performance.

Its interesting to look at the relative strengths and weaknesses of each, how 
they've evolved, and hopefully learn some more.

 The Project tries to avoid it but occasional build failures on the
 development branch are very likely to occur.  As a new user, you
 would be much better off starting with a release branch.
 

I used 9.0 and release candidates for a couple of months beforehand so i would 
know what usually works and doesn't work before, trying current out. Compared 
to many of the old timers out there I guess this makes me very new still, 
though!

 This told me that I would be more likely to be running code written
 by people who knew what they were doing if I went with Open, Net, or
 DragonflyBSD.
 
 I think that's being unfair.  Do Open, Net or DFly have an equivalent
 to the tinderboxes that do automated test builds and report failures?
 And, since you have replied to an ARM failure, DragonflyBSD would not
 be an option since it doesn't support ARM.
 

The point I was trying to make (context lost in the partial quote above) was 
not that it is better or worse than the other BSDs, but that at the time (maybe 
3 years ago) when I was looking around to alternatives to Linux and reading the 
various mailing lists, this was the impression I got. I am sure other people 
must see these daily failures and get the same impression. Whether this is fair 
or not has nothing to do with what impressions people form, and what OS they 
subsequently decide to install.

As I recall reading, the tinderbox was established due to the high incidence of 
build failures. In my original post on this thread, I was commenting not on the 
failure of ARM build in particular, but chiming in after Doug Brewer's request 
for the code to be tested before being committed. If anyone else had backed him 
up I would not have felt the need to write.

Cheers,

Just an observation: a few years ago when I got sick of Linux's headlong rush 
development model, I subscribed to various BSD mailing lists to see what else 
was out there. I considered FreeBSD at the time - there was a neverending 
avalanche of [head tinderbox] failure messages. This told me that I would be 
more likely to be running code written by people who knew what they were doing 
if I went with Open, Net, or DragonflyBSD. 

I safely run OpenBSD-current on my main computer and it always works (I think I 
have had 2-3 build problems in about 3 years, and they were all my fault). At 
the moment, I only feel confident enough with FreeBSD-current to run it on my 
unimportant torrent computer. This is 80% due to constant build failures, and 
20% due to invasive changes being introduced with documentation/instructions 
scattered over many different pages and mailing lists, e.g:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/FrontPage?action=fullsearchcontext=180value=xorgtitlesearch=Titles

http://wiki.freebsd.org/FrontPage?action=fullsearchcontext=180value=pkgngtitlesearch=Titles

Hypothetical user: Is it WITHOUT_PKGNG= or WITHOUT_PKGNG=yes or WITH_PKGNG=no 
today?

I wonder how many other people that you never hear from feel the same, and if 
some sort of x weeks commit freezeout should apply to the build breakers. 
Cute pointy hats or whatever obviously have no effect.

Rant over!

Quite honestly, the head/current branch is going to have build 
failures.. It's the test bed..  Stick with the release system unless you 
want cutting edge.. just remember.. cutting edge cuts sometimes...

In the context of this thread, 'test bed' could mean anything.

To clarify, are you saying:
a) You think it is ok for commits to be made to the head source code, that 
cause it to not compile.
b) Anyone who disagrees with this should be running release, not current.

The head branch is distributed around the world by a network of mirror sites, 
and then downloaded and compiled by a large number of people. It seems a very 
inefficient use of resources for this infrastructure to be used to see if some 
code will build. Would it not be more useful for current to be a test bed of 
bugfixes and new features, rather than directing users to a release and having 
current as a test bed for will this compile? 

Or I suppose we could all just wait 6 months for a release candidate to see if 
today's current has introduced any regressions on our hardware.

Trying current

2012-09-28 Thread Brett
Hi list,

I'm getting and old core2duo today to install FreeBSD (hopefully current) on 
it. Looking in the ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ folder for the 
last week or so, there have been no snapshots in there. Do they still come out 
roughly monthly and/or is one likely to appear soon? 

Looking at the instructions at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html , 
it does not specifically mention a starting point to build from. If not 
snapshots are expected soon, am I likely to experience much grief in getting 
from 9.0 or 9.1rc1 to current?

Thanks,

Will port also be MFCed to 9-RELENG and 9.1-RELEASE? Do not want to

Error building kernel in 9.0-BETA3: use of uninitialized variable in ipfw

2011-10-17 Thread Brett Glass
Just tried to build a new kernel in 9.0-BETA3 with the IPFIREWALL

compiler complains that the variable len is used before 
intialization. Problem occurs on both i386 and amd64 platforms.

Interesting. Apparently, the xterm termcap does not work properly for it.

I have never used jove before, so what should I do to
reproduce this?

Have you ever used EMACS? jove is just one implementation of it (but
without the huge overhead imposed by the LISP interpreter in GNU EMACS).

In any event, build and install the port, and then try to edit a file.
Just simple stuff, like moving the cursor, backspacing over characters
to delete them, inserting characters in the middle of lines. Among other
things, you'll see portions of lines vanish from the screen while you're 
editing, until you hit ^L (the EMACS command to refresh the screen) a 
couple of times.

The older syscons driver worked very well with the cons25 termcap
entry, but the one in 9.0-BETA2 and 9.0-BETA3 does NOT work well with
the xterm termcap entry. Many artifacts. You almost can't edit. I
have had to log in via SSH and use vt100 rather than using the console.

Re: Experiences with FreeBSD 9.0-BETA2

2011-10-07 Thread Brett Glass

Ed:

The patch is an improvement. Not assuming that tabs blank the underlying
cells is definitely a help. But it does not fix all of the artifacts.

It might be a good idea to review the xterm termcap entry, capability
by capability, to make sure that syscons conforms to each one. As the
author of a very exacting vt100 emulator (I wrote Borland's Turbo Terminal
back in the 80s), I know just how quirky, poorly documented, and buggy some
terminals can be. I had to emulate every strange behavior and bug in the
vt100 without access to the source code that the embedded CPU was running.
In general, the behaviors that cause the most problems are wrapping and
unwrapping text, writing past the edges of the screen, positioning near
the edges of the screen, and manipulating the top and bottom lines. The
vt100, for example, would not scroll when you wrote the last character on
a line, but would then scroll if you entered one character after that
without executing a command that repositioned the cursor. It would also
ignore linefeeds after automatic scrolling (due to DEC's convention that
text files have both a CR and an LF at the end of each line rather than
just an LF as in UNIX). If you'd like, I can try to come up to speed on
the code and help to debug, but I do not use X and so have no experience
with its default terminal emulator; I'd have to study that as well.

After some tinkering, I think I know why it breaks. I thought that
when xterm processes a tab, it blanks the underlying cells. This doesn't
seem to be the case, so I've fixed that in r226099.

Would it be possible for you to test HEAD r226099 or apply this patch to
your source tree?


http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/teken/teken_subr.h?r1=223574r2=226099view=patch

If so, there's a fair chance I can get it squeezed into 9.0. Thanks!

I can't speak to the one-big-fs bit (there was another thread

The question of how to layout and split filesystems was discussed 
at the filesystems working group of the devsummit at BSDCan this 
may. (http://wiki.freebsd.org/201105DevSummit/FileSystems down to 
Filesystem Layout near the bottom)  Though one big root did 
not garner a huge amount of support, neither were there 
particularly compelling arguments against it (if I remember 
correctly).  It's certainly easier to write an autopartitioner 
for, so I don't really blame Nathan for having chosen it initially.


My personal preference would be to place portions of the directory 
tree which contain critical configuration information and are not 
written in normal use -- e.g. /etc and /boot -- in one or more 
separate partitions. This would make it possible to mount them 
read-only unless the system configuration was being changed, new 
software was being installed, or a new kernel was being generated. 
This would protect them not only from malicious tampering but also 
from being scrambled by buggy userland software. And since it would 
not be written during normal operation, it would survive 100% 
intact even if journaling and/or serialization of metadata updates 
(e.g. softupdates) were to fail.


Unfortunately, due to past history, /usr is mixed-use. It normally 
contains both configuration information -- e.g. /usr/local/etc -- 
and more volatile data such as users' home directories. This 
prevents /usr/local/etc, which also contains mission-critical 
configuration information, from being protected if you just protect 
/. Some proprietary Unices have fixed this historical flaw in the 
traditional hierarchy by moving /usr/local/etc to another location 
and them symlinking it back to where seasoned administrators expect 
it to be, thus honoring POLA. The three open source, old school 
BSDs (Free, Net, Open) have not done this to date, but it's 
something that should be considered in the long run. It would 
certainly make the creation of embedded systems easier, as well as 
enhancing security in multi-user systems!


If I wrote an installer, my preference would be to have it create 
one partition that contained critical configuration information and 
software (and could be mounted read-only) and one that contained 
the rest of the usual directory tree (and could be mounted 
read-write). It could do the symlinking trick mentioned above to 
bring parts of /usr over to the read-only administrative partition. 
The only cleanup task that would remain would be to make sure that 
no ports were configured to place their logs, pid files, etc. in 
directories such as /usr/local/etc. (Most already do not.)

Unfortunately, because ZFS is licensed under a viral license (not

Experiences with FreeBSD 9.0-BETA2

2011-09-25 Thread Brett Glass
, instead of just using a direct ATA driver, was 
assembling a complex, memory-intensive, and compute-intensive layer 
cake of shims -- including the ata, ahci, da, and scbus drivers, 
not to mention GEOM -- to get to the SATA disk. Since the system I 
was trying to build has only one mass storage device -- a simple 
SSD -- and is tight on RAM, I'd rather go without bloating the 
kernel, slowing the system, or exposing myself to SCSI bugs by 
simply using an ATA driver. With all due respect for the hard work 
of the people who went to the trouble to create all of those shims, 
I hope that it remains possible to do this.


Other oddities:

1) The jove editor worked strangely because, in /etc/ttys, the 
terminal type was set to xterm instead of cons25 by default. (I 
do not run a GUI on servers, so of course there will not be an 
xterm.) As a result, parts of lines kept vanishing from under my 
cursor. However, even after I modified /etc/ttys, I still saw some 
screen artifacts. The maintainer of the console driver should 
probably check it to see whether its termcap entry needs changing.


2) I saw many warnings of lock order reversals under the GENERIC 
kernel, in particular in the file system code. These obviously 
should be fixed before release.


3) The installer offered to enable the TRIM command for the SSD, 
but the SSD I was using did not support it; I got a warning when I 
tried to use tunefs to turn it on.


4) The installer still used the old syntax for Internet addresses 
in /etc/rc.conf instead of the newer one (e.g. ifconfig_fxp0=inet 
192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 instead of ipv4_addrs_fxp0=192.168.1.1/24)


For the most part, though, I was able to work around everything and 
produce a system that seems stable. Will be stress-testing it for 
the next several days to see how it holds up.

Hey there,

Has anyone managed to get USB modem support compiled into the 4.0 kernel
using the patches from the projects site??  Or can it be done another
way??
Unfortunately my 33.6K internal has rolled over and died and now I just
have a 56.6K external USB modem which I haven't been able to get the
support for yet (hence I can't cvsup to 4.0 like most ppl have suggested,
but thanks for the responses anyway!!).

Re: KDE programs won't compile

Hi,

 every small kde program i try to install (right now i tried Knewmail
 and Kover) i get :  checking for kde headers installed... configure:
 error: your system is not able to compile a small KDE application!
 Check, if you installed the KDE header files correctly. i'm using a
 current machine as if last night, installed kde from ports (yes,
 kde-libs was compiled with -CURRENT and EGCS)

I can only assume that we install our KDE headers somewhere different than
the developers (primarily on Linux machines).  Dig around and figure out
where the headers are on the FreeBSD machines and then you'll have to
probably add a configure argument like:

--with_kde_includes= /some/dir/where/kde/includes/are

Dig through the knewmail configure script at the top and look for an
option like this.
