Flash is used with Yahoo! maps, and so with alot of useful apps like stocks prices ..etc. Instead of ignoring it, we should see it ported to FreeBSD. I agree. As much as I personally dislike flash, I have business clients who would be willing to switch from Micro$oft to FreeBSD. The main stumbling block is the lack of stable flash support. Where I have deployed test versions of FreeBSD with either OO or KDE with Firefox, they were generally happy except for flash. This is one of the things we need to overcome if we're ever going to be seriously considered as a desktop os. Most clients expect the browser to at least work as well as Micro$oft, however misguided that is.

Module for Realtek RTL8111B ethernet NIC
Hi All, I have just installed PC-BSD on an Asus A8JS laptop. The Realtek RTL8111B ethernet NIC does not work so I'm looking for a bit of help. As far as I can tell the driver for this NIC is the rl driver (the module is called if_rl.ko), but I also found a place where the driver was listed as the re driver. So the first question is whether someone can clarify this? The NIC is not recognised during boot as there is no mention of it in dmesg, which leads me to think that maybe this NIC is not supported by the version of the driver in PC-BSD 1.3 (based on FreeBSD 6.1). Realtek provide a FreeBSD driver on their site and the Readme says to install by either of two methods: 1. Put the if_rl.ko module in /modules folder, etc but the if_rl.ko file is not provided or 2. place new versions of the source code files into source and compile the module but since I have no connectivity I can't download source to do this. I have thought about how to get around these problems and have a couple of ideas. 1. Someone could email me an up to date version of the module. The re and rl drivers are compiled in the kernel according to the PC-BSD kernel configuration file. Will this conflict with any module I load? 2. Is it possible to download source on another pc and transfer it to the laptop on cd or usb drive so I can try the compile route. Please note that I have tried the source code PBI from the PC-BSD website, but some of the directories that should then exist according to the readme file are missing so that doesn't work.

random hangs/reboots with Dell servers
Dear all, I am trying to understand some long standing issues we have with freebsd and Dell servers. Over the last 3 year we have installed freebsd 5.x and 6.x, with currently deployed version being 6.1, to a variety of of Dell rack mounted systems. The Dell systems used so far are Poweredge 1750, 2950 (both scsi), and sc1425 (sata). All of them are dual CPU Xeon systems. All these systems serve as mail/web servers, with 2 to 15 jails. Installation has always proceeded normally without problems. However, after a few months of operation, all of these systems, purchased at different moments during the last 3 years, will begin rebooting randomly or freezing completely. These reboots/freezes will at first occur once per 6 months, then gradually will move to to once per month, to normally stabilize around once per week, but in the case of the 1750 system once it even happened twice a day. Load does not seem to matter, since even after shutting down all services in the servers, still random reboots occured. So far we tried various tricks digged from the archives, like disabling ACPI, HT, but nothing changed. We have migrated some systems that had these issues to RHEL compatible OS, and they run rock solid under heavy load. Right now I have enabled kernel crash dumps and I am waiting for the next crash. But I understad a lot of people use FreeBSD with Dell servers, and I would like to listen on how to tackle this situation we are facing.

As a result not finding any disks when it comes to installing the O/S. We have attempted various modifications to the boot process, including the loading of an aac module, which according to the BSD website, should provide support for this type of controller. I have only installed on a couple of raids and so don't know about them all or even this one. So, this might not apply to your situation. But, I found that I had to study DMESG very carefully to find out what device to use for them. The system seemed to put out a lot of messages that looked like other device names but in the end there was just one little line that pointed to the correct one.The most recent one was a Dell Perc 3i or something like that and I had to run the fixit and study the boot messages to figure it out.I don't have that one available to look at what it turned out to be, but it was more simple than I first thought from all the stuff it wrote out. After mucking with fixit a bit, then sysinstall seemed to figure it out OK. I don't remember actually changing anything - just fishing around a while. I may have run fdisk under fixit to look at things and maybe delete some slices. So, rather than trying to change things right off, I would suggest looking carefully at stuff and trying to determine what it is already doing. Anyway, good luck, jerry When we attempt to boot to OS to install after making these above modifications, the boot loader advises that this module already appears to be loaded, which contradicts what I believe. In any respect, it doesn't work either way (with or without the module manually loaded). One side note (which i don't think is contributing) is that when I attempt to start the boot loader with ACPI enabled, it freezes with the message cpu id 38 too high. However if I boot the boot loader with ACPI disabled, this message dissapears. It _may_ be a possibility that a bi-product of disabling the ACPI is causing the RAID controller to have issues. This appears to be an issue because of the X4 CPU count ?? That's a quick summary of the problem we have, and the path(s) we have been down to date to attempt to fix it. Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. We are at the position now where we are prepared to pay for consulting services to get it going.

The Dell systems used so far are Poweredge 1750, 2950 (both scsi), and sc1425 (sata). All of them are dual CPU Xeon systems. All these systems serve as mail/web servers, with 2 to 15 jails.

But I understad a lot of people use FreeBSD with Dell servers, and I would like to listen on how to tackle this situation we are facing. First make sure you are up-to-date on the FreeBSD version you are running, also make sure it is still a supported release. If not, update your src and rebuild everything. For the hardware I'd run complete diagnostics from dell on one of these servers, and any stress tests available as well. If the hardware all checks out OK, I would look for either an environmental cause such as heat. Heat can cause hardware problems that wouldn't show up otherwise. If neither of these looks like the cause, then you may need to swap-out a system board, or RAM as it must be a hardware issue. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

We run a variety of Dell stuff where I work. Lots of 1850 and 2850 units, and some 1950 and 2950s, in addition to a few 850s and the like. We're not having any problems. We routinely see uptimes that span from one maintenance window to the next without any unplanned reboots. One thing we've had fun with is that Dell has issued a LOT of firmware upgrades over the last year, and those are a pain to get applied to remote systems. However, I don't recall any stability problems prior to the upgrades. I know this isn't answering your question, but I thought I'd point out that your experience is not typical. Somewhere, you are having a problem that _can_ be solved. The various units you describe come in various configurations, I wonder if you're picking a specific hardware combination that FreeBSD has trouble with? Otherwise, you're on the right path with the crash dumps. Once you have more details, post them to this or the -hackers list to see if you can get the problem narrowed down. However, if these systems are spontaneously rebooting without a panic, crash dumps might not help.

Re: IBM / FreeBSD Install problem
Murray Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
We are attempting to install FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE onto this machine and
are running into a problem getting the operating system to recognise the
RAID controller. As a result not finding any disks when it comes to
installing the O/S.
We have attempted various modifications to the boot process, including
the loading of an aac module, which according to the BSD website,
should provide support for this type of controller.
Excuse me for asking a stupid question, but did you define an array
before attempting to install FreeBSD? The aac driver won't attach
individual disks, it will only attached defined arrays.
When we attempt to boot to OS to install after making these above
modifications, the boot loader advises that this module already appears
to be loaded, which contradicts what I believe. In any respect, it
doesn't work either way (with or without the module manually loaded).
The loader is correct, aac is included in GENERIC.
One side note (which i don't think is contributing) is that when I
attempt to start the boot loader with ACPI enabled, it freezes with the
message cpu id 38 too high. However if I boot the boot loader with
ACPI disabled, this message dissapears. It _may_ be a possibility that a
bi-product of disabling the ACPI is causing the RAID controller to have
issues. This appears to be an issue because of the X4 CPU count ??
It appears the server uses non-consecutive CPU numbers, and we use a
static array with 32 slots, indexed by CPU number, to hold information
about the CPUs (or rather the local APICs they contain).
If you can either install without ACPI, or remove two of the CPUs
during installation, this should be fairly easy to fix: change the
definition of NLAPICS in /usr/src/sys/{amd64,i386}/acpica/madt.c and
rebuild your kernel, then boot with ACPI enabled and report back to
us.

Help with running Linux software LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Dear folks --
I'm trying to install a software package called LINGO for my
operations research class. There's a Linux version (no BSD, though).
http://www.lindo.com/downloads/downloadm.html
I'm hoping I can get this to work with the Linux emulation layer
(other stuff work already, like Maple 8).
I am getting errors related to a shell script a LD_LIBRARY_PATH
There are libraries that need to be loaded in /opt/lingo9
ls
LINGO.CNF libcxa.so liblindo.so libmosek.so.3.2 lingovars.sh
libcxa.so.3 liblindo.so.3.0 libunwind.so.5
libconsub3.so libcxa.so.5 libmosek.so lingo9
I unpacked it under /opt.
There's a bash shell script you're supposed to run:
##
#! /bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/opt/lingo9/bin/linux32
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LINGO_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/opt/lingo9/license/lndlng90.lic
export LINGO_LICENSE_FILE
###
My first question is if the shell script translation to tcsh is correct:
###
#!/bin/tcsh
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/lingo9/bin/linux32
setenv LINGO_LICENSE_FILE /opt/ling9/license/lndlng90.lic
###
When I try to execute it, I get the error below (BTW, set to 755).
ls -l bsdlingolic.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2527 143 19 Abr 13:00 bsdlingolic.sh

What suggestions do you have regarding this issue?
Thanks in advance.

acpi: s3 on asus kills ata?
I sent this to the acpi list and got back resounding silence, so maybe it was considered off-topic somehow? I am certainly no guru in these matters...I thought I was fairly detailed, so I would hope it wasn't ignored for lack of info, but just incomprehensibility perhaps ;) Steve -- Forwarded message -- From: Steve Franks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Apr 17, 2007 7:00 PM Subject: s3 on asus kills ata? To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only thing 'special' I have on my system is a gmirror, and it appears to be quite unhappy with suspending. I added lines to rc.suspend to umount the partitions, stop the mirror, and kldunload gmirror, but it still freaks, identically as far as I cen tell whether it is enabled or not, so maybe it's really ata that is the problem, not gmirror. Dmesg output follows, and you can see at the end where I try to suspend, right before gmirror gives the 'provider destroyed' message. Interestingly, after following the acpi.hw.disable_on_poweroff=0 from the handbook, s1 appears to work (although the screen stays in the current state instead of sleeping, but the sleep led does flash and the keyboard is inactive until the sleep button is pressed). Also, I don't know if this is universally the case, but you might put a note in the handbook page for newbies - any time I do an acpiconf -s(x) on any of my machines (the asus server or my brand-new cheapo compaq laptop), I have to follow it with the '' sign, or else I get a suspend request: not ready yet error, and the prompt returns with no suspend. I supose it should be obvious that you cannot suspend if the system is interacting with the user, but it wasn't to me initially, as I didn't know the '' command/modifier existed until reading about shell scripts a bit.

My first question is if the shell script translation to tcsh is correct:
Why should you convert the script to tcsh? IMHO the best way is to

Yep, it's not defined at the time [1] occures. Actually, defining
LD_LIBRARY_PATH almost always is a Bad Thing.
What suggestions do you have regarding this issue?
1. Create a port (local?) for the software. Don't forget to brand
executables (only!).
2. Install it to PREFIX=/usr/local (i.e. libraries to /usr/local/lib

3. Delete the definition of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Re: random hangs/reboots with Dell servers

The Dell systems used so far are Poweredge 1750, 2950 (both scsi), and sc1425 (sata). All of them are dual CPU Xeon systems. I've got a large number of Dell PowerEdge 1750, 1850, 2900, 2950 deployed in various production environments, whereas some other clients are using HP ProLiant 360/370 boxen. Both seem to be rock solid under either 5.4/5.5, or 6.1/6.2. I've even got a pair of firewall boxes running nothing but NAT and SSHd, which are at 600+ days of uptime: FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE (FW) #0: Tue Jul 12 11:10:14 EDT 2005 Welcome to FreeBSD! 12:24PM up 636 days, 19:26, 3 users, load averages: 0.25, 0.14, 0.04 (Machines running more services get OS or service related updates more frequently-- typically every month to every 3 months-- but I don't like to make changes to a running machine unless I expect the change to make an improvement which justifies the disruption. For a non-SMP firewall which would involve loss of external network connectivity to update, nothing in 6.x is worth the cost to update to as yet, IMHO.) All these systems serve as mail/web servers, with 2 to 15 jails. Installation has always proceeded normally without problems. However, after a few months of operation, all of these systems, purchased at different moments during the last 3 years, will begin rebooting randomly or freezing completely. These reboots/freezes will at first occur once per 6 months, then gradually will move to to once per month, to normally stabilize around once per week, but in the case of the 1750 system once it even happened twice a day. Load does not seem to matter, since even after shutting down all services in the servers, still random reboots occured. Sounds to be something hardware-related like a power-supply problem, if the failure rate is gradually getting shorter and is not correlated with load at all. So far we tried various tricks digged from the archives, like disabling ACPI, HT, but nothing changed. We have migrated some systems that had these issues to RHEL compatible OS, and they run rock solid under heavy load. Hmm. Well, you might have to wait for a few weeks or months to be able to get reasonable comparison of longer-term stability, but this at least implies that something like cooling or a failed fan aren't likely causes. Right now I have enabled kernel crash dumps and I am waiting for the next crash. But I understad a lot of people use FreeBSD with Dell servers, and I would like to listen on how to tackle this situation we are facing. Try to get a crash dump. Also, you might find reviewing the BIOS options and disabling everything which is not needed, hopefully including USB, will help. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: IBM / FreeBSD Install problem
If you can either install without ACPI, or remove two of the CPUs
during installation, this should be fairly easy to fix: change the
definition of NLAPICS in /usr/src/sys/{amd64,i386}/acpica/madt.c and
rebuild your kernel, then boot with ACPI enabled and report back to
us.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
I was initially hung up on the boot disk issue as well - everything in the handbook applies to a data-only drive as well, except the part about dumping the filesystem, etc. I presume your disks are uninitialized. I suggest a look at the actual gmirror manpage, it has more better examples, and I pretty much followed one of those exactly. There's really only 2 things to do: 1) make sure gmirror gets loaded on startup (specific directions are in the handbook/man) 2) initialize your disks with gmirror as per the man page. After that works, you'll have something like /dev/mirror/gm0 (you'll still have /dev/da1 and da2, but you want to use the gm0 in fstab instead, otherwise, it won't be mirrored). Then, if you are a newbie like me, you can just run sysinstall to fdisk and label (aka. 'partition/format') your new disk. It was quite easier than I expected, acutally, and my disks have live data on them - no problems ensued. Since it's a 'normal' disk after gmirror is configured, samba works with it just like the rest of your filesystem. Samba was a bit more work for me, but again, just followed the handbook and samba.org instructions, and I had no major issues. Steve On 4/19/07, L Goodwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello.

Re: every two weeks
Here are some more things to check: Check the cooling fan(s) in the power supply. I recently had a PS die due to a bad fan. Verify that it spins freely by hand (when OFF) and that it spins up quickly when turned on, and does not make any suspicious noises. Also check its RPM's in the BIOS if available. I'd also check the CPU fan(s) (physically and in BIOS). Verify that air can flow freely over the CPU and out through the power supply. There should be no cables blocking the path. Also, the power supply should have an intake fan that points at the CPU (many PSUs have it on the back, which usually does not face the CPU). This is especially important for AMD CPUs. If hardware has been added, you could be overloading the power supply. John Haig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Every two weeks my Freebsd 5.3 box goes down. I'm running a webserver, databaase. No mail.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
*L Goodwin wrote: Both assume you only have 2 drives and want to mirror the drive containing FreeBSD. I only want to mirror the data drive da1, and would appreciate a concise set of steps for doing this right the first time. 1. First of all, you should install the base system on da0 and boot it. (Leave da1 and da2 untouched) 2. Create a slice on da1 (fdisk). The name of the new slice will probably be da1s1. (You will find this inside sysinstall) I found that sometimes I had to use a bit smaller slice than the available space, because equally looking disks are not always equal. (Not kidding!) 3. Use disklabel editor to add partitions to the slice (/dev/da1s1a,/dev/da1s1b,/dev/da1s1c etc.) and format them with newfs as needed. 4. Change loader.conf, add this line: geom_mirror_load=YES 5. Execute these: gmirror load gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da1 6. Carefully rename all references in /etc/fstab /dev/da1s1X becomes /dev/mirror/gm0s1X (where X can be a,b,c,d etc.) 7. Reboot 8. Check your mirror with gmirror list and gmirror status, and see if your filesystems are mounted with df. 9. Add da2 to your mirror with this command: gmirror insert gm0 /dev/da2 Please ask others, as I did not try this and I'm not 100% sure it will work. But I think it should.

Question about the Window Maker window manager
If anyone using FreeBSD regularly uses the Window Maker window manager, I have a question about some behavior I saw today that I don't quite get. I wasn't doing anything processor intensive, but I could not open anything. I'd double click on the terminal icon that is on the desktop and it would act like it was trying to do something, but then nothing happened. I tried to open the Control Panel, also an icon from the desktop but to no avail as well. I couldn't even start a program from the menus when right clicking on the desktop to display the menu. I was, however, able to exit the window manager and then re-open it, at which time all worked as expected. Does anyone else experience such things with Window Maker and if so, short of restarting Window Maker, how does one go about correcting it?

RE: IBM / FreeBSD Install problem
Thanks Jerry, We have determined that our problem is related to the god-awful mess known as ACPI. With a single processor installed, it all boots fine, including finding PCI busses 1 and 2 and the raid on the aac driver is peachy! With 2 or more processors installed, and ACPI enabled, it panics with a madt error about id 38 is greater than the allowed max And with ACPI disabled, it boots, but doesnt find PCI busses 1 and 2, which is unfortunate as the RAID controller sits in PCI bus 1 and the bge inet interface seems to be on PCI bus 2 So at present we are on the FC6 path, which is obviously much softer on the vagaries of ACPI and is ignoring the crap data returns. mjt -Original Message- From: Jerry McAllister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 20 April 2007 12:40 AM To: Murray Taylor Cc: FreeBSD Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: IBM / FreeBSD Install problem On Thu, Apr 19, 2007 at 10:14:13AM +1000, Murray Taylor wrote: Server: IBM X3850 (88633SM) CPU X 4: 40K2522 HDD X 6: 40K1051 IBM ServeRAID 8i: 39R8729 We are attempting to install FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE onto this machine and are running into a problem getting the operating system to recognise the RAID controller. As a result not finding any disks when it comes to installing the O/S. We have attempted various modifications to the boot process, including the loading of an aac module, which according to the BSD website, should provide support for this type of controller. I have only installed on a couple of raids and so don't know about them all or even this one. So, this might not apply to your situation. But, I found that I had to study DMESG very carefully to find out what device to use for them. The system seemed to put out a lot of messages that looked like other device names but in the end there was just one little line that pointed to the correct one.The most recent one was a Dell Perc 3i or something like that and I had to run the fixit and study the boot messages to figure it out.I don't have that one available to look at what it turned out to be, but it was more simple than I first thought from all the stuff it wrote out. After mucking with fixit a bit, then sysinstall seemed to figure it out OK. I don't remember actually changing anything - just fishing around a while. I may have run fdisk under fixit to look at things and maybe delete some slices. So, rather than trying to change things right off, I would suggest looking carefully at stuff and trying to determine what it is already doing. Anyway, good luck, jerry When we attempt to boot to OS to install after making these above modifications, the boot loader advises that this module already appears to be loaded, which contradicts what I believe. In any respect, it doesn't work either way (with or without the module manually loaded). One side note (which i don't think is contributing) is that when I attempt to start the boot loader with ACPI enabled, it freezes with the message cpu id 38 too high. However if I boot the boot loader with ACPI disabled, this message dissapears. It _may_ be a possibility that a bi-product of disabling the ACPI is causing the RAID controller to have issues. This appears to be an issue because of the X4 CPU count ?? That's a quick summary of the problem we have, and the path(s) we have been down to date to attempt to fix it. Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. We are at the position now where we are prepared to pay for consulting services to get it going.

RE: IBM / FreeBSD Install problem
Thanks all,
We will look into the code editting and see what we can get
however we are on an very short time frame so may not be able to
slot it in before a maintenance slot where we need to be able to drop in
the box 'seamlessly' .
But I have noted the proposed fix provided on these lists into the red
book!

If you can either install without ACPI, or remove two of the CPUs
during installation, this should be fairly easy to fix: change the
definition of NLAPICS in
/usr/src/sys/{amd64,i386}/acpica/madt.c and
rebuild your kernel, then boot with ACPI enabled and report back to
us.

I suggested that in email too, but looking closer, I think the MAXCPU
needs to be increased because the cpu number uses the
apic_id. Or could
that be changed with a logical CPU to APIC ID lookup?
Isn't the APIC IDs programmable? not that I am suggesting that, I
can think of headaches of all the places (like interrupt tables)
where it needs to be changed, not to mention the worry that the
lower APIC IDs were assigned to IOAPICs.

Their package management system is supposed to be about handling dependencies automatically. Well, I'm not sure you've quite noticed this, that FreeBSD (and the other BSDs) *also* handle dependencies automatically. How? Because of the Magic Makefiles and its backtracking algorithm! Well, funny, huh. No need to reinvent the wheel, as 3 BSD Unixes demonstrate daily. Stop comparing things which aren't comparable! *BSD ports system handles dependencies in a completely different manner and its building upon source. apt-get uses binary packages.

find processes with pages in swap
Hello, I was wondering if there is a utility that allows you to query swap and determine which processes currently have virtual pages in swap. I couldn't find any way from the pstat/swapinfo man pages, but hopefully I'm overlooking something.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
One more thought: I had to disable ACPI (as with the first server) to get FreeBSD to boot. Could this have something to do with my problem, i.e., is some manual configuration necessary to set up SCSI devices in FreeBSD?

I only want to mirror the data drive da1, and would appreciate a concise set of steps for doing this right the first time. Thanks! The errors look like it is having a problem writing in the first cylinder where the RAID configuration is kept. If you haven't done a low-level format and diagnostics on this drive, I would start there. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
