multimedia/MMX, Celeron CPU, and the kernel config
Hey all. I've just installed the mplayer and mplayerxp ports for video support. I've never quite had it right with aviplay and plaympeg, but I never quite understood why. Well, when I run mplayer, I get the following: CPU: Intel Celeron A Mendocino/Pentium II Dixon (Family: 6, Stepping: 0) Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled with Runtime CPU Detection - WARNING - this is not optimal! To get best performance, recompile MPlayer with --disable-runtime-cpudetection And mplayerxp gives the following: CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel max cpuid level: 2 CPU: Intel Celeron A Mendocino/Pentium II Dixon (Type: 6, Stepping: 0) MMX supported but disabled CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 0 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with features: 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE So I'm confused as to whether I've got the best configuration for my custom kernel. Is there a way I can discover the exact model of my cpu without cracking the case? I'm running: 4.8-RELEASE #0: built Sat Apr 12, 2003. The boot process logs the following: CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (399.12-MHz 686-class CPU) The machine is a Dell Optiplex G1, that was built several years ago, and given to me by my employer in a surplus lottery almost 2 years ago. I've put a new hard drive and video card in it, but that's about it. AFAIK, the machine had been unmodified before I got it. BTW, I have the following enabled in my kernel config: ### machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident KEYSLAPPER maxusers0 options INET options INET6 options FFS options FFS_ROOT options SOFTUPDATES options MFS options MD_ROOT options NFS options NFS_ROOT options MSDOSFS options CD9660 options CD9660_ROOT options PROCFS options COMPAT_43 options SCSI_DELAY=15000 options UCONSOLE options USERCONFIG options VISUAL_USERCONFIG options KTRACE options SYSVSHM options SYSVMSG options SYSVSEM options P1003_1B options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options ICMP_BANDLIM options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV options NSWAPDEV=1 options USER_LDT options ATA_STATIC_ID options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=200 options IPDIVERT Plus of course, the various devices. There is no SCSI card in the machine at the time, so I don't know if the SCSI_DELAY option makes any difference. I have found a few other options I'm not sure about, the CPU_PPRO2CELERON, CPU_L2_LATENCY, and CPU_ENABLE_SSE options. I'm just not sure if they apply in my specific case. I'm thinking the CPU_ENABLE_SSE option does, but before I go to the bother of changing my kernel config and rebuilding, I'd like to know if it is going to make even a little difference. Can anyone give me a pointer? Anything will be welcome, whether a URL, or a direct indication. Thanks!

Re: Using Digital Video Out under FBD
I'm guessing by the relative degree of silence on this that this isn't supported on Freebsd yet? All I need is a simple answer one way or another. If it's not, I'll leave it at that. If it is, I'll keep searching. Links to FAQ's would be useful, but just a yes or no will suffice at this point. I'm wanting to export the video to VHS and possibly preview it on a TV because I'm doing a digital media presentation and I don't want to haul that beat of a windows box I have around with me to the presentation. I'd rather take my SFF with me, but that's running Freebsd using a GF3 ti200 card, which presents me with my problem. Thanks for any help on this at all.

That is what I meant. You learn by trying things. After re-reading your page about scripting the buildworld, I see an opportunity to test my script. I never thought about putting /usr/src and /usr/obj on different HDD's. I have 2 ATAPI HDD in my box, on different IDE busses, so that should work out well. I'll also need to adjust some slice sizes as well. How much space do you recommend for /var if I'm logging like you do? It's currently: Disk1 - / 100M swap 256M /var 200M /usr remainder about 1.8G Disk2 - /disk2 entire disk 7.8G My smallest HD is 13GB and the system had 4 of them. My typical system is on a 3x30GB ATA-100/133 HDs. Since, I have a lot of free space, my partitions are typically 1.5GB. FreeBSD 4.x creates an ../obj of around 300-400MB; however, FreeBSD 5.x produces a 700-800MB. I like to mount a partition as /usr/obj and /usr/src. The builds work just fine with a link to /disk2/obj as /usr/obj. The reason for separate partition is that I have messed up my system to the point that I had to nfs_mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from a different machine. If I mount /disk2/obj as /usr/obj, the make installworld dies because it knows the true path to the obj files. If I redo a system, I create a mount point as /usr/obj. Until then, I just link /usr/obj to /usr2/obj and etc. I think that just moving /usr/obj to your 2nd HD as a link would separate the I/O. For FreeBSD 5.x, you need a lot more space in /. When I installed 5.0-release, I created / as 500MB and it is about 24% used. If you have to manually download some tarballs, you can chew up space in a hurry. The files in /var/log/build can fill up a fs really fast because each system update is around 7-8MB. Since I log everything from cvsup to make index, I fill up space in a hurry :). If something breaks, I want to be able to point to the commit that broke it. So I assume /usr/obj should be on the second HDD? About how much space should I reserve? Looks like I should also adjust my script to remove the -j4, eh? Like you said, play with it. I use write caching and softupdates. They all made it faster. Depending on your system, you may find that -j is faster. From my experience, all of my systems (6 of various speeds and cpus), do a build world faster without a -j. When I was doing benchmarks on a Cray X/MP with 100MB/s 1000MB/s data channels to stripped disks capable of 20MB/s continuous, write caching doubled the throughput of the system. The gain was not obvious up front and everyone was surprised by the result. After we saw it, it was a shoulder shrug because it appeared obvious that you want a process to have faster access to data that it needs than forcing it to save processed data first. In the commercial world, protecting the processed data has a much higher assigned value. I went for speed. If someone said 4-stable was broken, I wanted to be able to test the builds in less than 30 minutes. I also didn't want to spend a lot of money to be able to do that :). BTW, those build times all had setiathome running in the background. Having it running in the background really doesn't change the elapsed time too much exept in 5.x. I kill seti before I do a timed run on it.

But frankly, if I don't specify it what device to use, it won't even be able to operate a single pptp connection. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I need to get this resolved asap. I didn't send any logs from ppp PPP and the PPTP connections works 100% - even with Radius. The problem is purely that PPP always uses the same device, regardless of the amount of connections (ala tun0). My kernel does have allot of tunX devices, and ifconfig -a lists at least two available. Still, ppp only uses the one.

As you can see, hosts on xl0 and xl1 need to get translated in order to get on the Internet. The dmz is for a few web-servers, a mailserver and a vpn-gateway I will be setting up later. I have a hard time getting this design to actually work with deny ip from any to any in the bottom of the ruleset. I thought my tcp/ip skills were proper but after I started dealing with this I feel like a complete noob. Here are the rules I haave written so far: # more fwrules fwcmd=/sbin/ipfw extif=xl2 dmzif=fxp0 lanif=xl0 motorif=xl1 $fwcmd -f flush ### $fwcmd add 100 allow all from any to any via lo0 $fwcmd add 200 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8 $fwcmd add 300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any $fwcmd add 500 deny tcp from any to any in via any tcpflags syn,fin $fwcmd add 600 deny ip from any to any in via any frag ### $fwcmd add 900 allow tcp from an.outside.net.work to me ssh in via $extif # This one passes packets to natd. If I knew how to divert only rfc1918 addresses are passed to natd I would do that. # In the meantine I have configured natd with the unregistered-flag. $fwcmd add 950 divert natd all from any to any via $extif # Allow http to the whole dmz from Internet: $fwcmd add 1000 allow tcp from any to w.x.y.80/28 http via $extif # Allow smtp and pop3 to the mailserver from Internet: $fwcmd add 1050 allow tcp from any to w.x.y.84 smtp,pop3 via $extif # # With the following rules I want to allow all traffic between my own segments: $fwcmd add 1200 allow ip from any to any via $dmzif $fwcmd add 1250 allow ip from any to any via $lanif $fwcmd add 1300 allow ip from any to any via $motorif # Allow all traffic out to Internett: $fwcmd add 2000 allow ip from any to any out via $extif # Allow all icmp for testing purposes until I get the firewll rules working: $fwcmd add 3000 allow icmp from any to any via any # Blocking ports out to Internet that I don't like: $fwcmd add 1300 deny tcp from any to any 135-139 out via $extif $fwcmd add 1350 deny tcp from any to any 445 out via $extif ### # Blocking everything else: $fwcmd add 65000 deny ip from any to any # When I load these rules it looks like nothing but icmp works. The computers on the the rfc1918 addresses can't speak tcp (and probably udp as well) and the computers on the dmz can neither. I feel I don't understand this properly. There must be some basic errors with my ruleset. Will it help me to put in this at the top?: $fwcmd add 50 check-state ..and then use keep-state on all my allow rules? Can someone please: I would be greatful for all kind of answers.

PPP and the backslash-containing AT command in ppp.conf
I am fairly to FreeBSD (and any kind of Unix), so please be easy on me in case I'm overlooking the obvious. :) I've been trying to connect to my ISP with an external Elsa Microlink ISDN/TL pro modem. The init string that the modem requires is ATF\N9. I modified the following line in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \ \\ AT OK-AT-OK ATF\\N9 OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT The man page for chat (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=chatsektion=8) says that \\ sends a backlash character, so I figured that ATF\\N9 would be sent as ATF\N9. However, it doesn't seem to send a backslash. Here's the relevant bit from /var/log/ppp.log: Sep 1 15:01:36 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: deflink: Dial attempt 1 of 1 Sep 1 15:01:36 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Send: AT^M Sep 1 15:01:36 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Expect(5): OK Sep 1 15:01:37 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Received: AT^M^M Sep 1 15:01:37 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Received: OK^M Sep 1 15:01:37 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Send: ATFN9^M Sep 1 15:01:37 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Expect(5): OK Sep 1 15:01:37 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Received: ATFN9^M^M Sep 1 15:01:37 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Received: ERROR^M Sep 1 15:01:42 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Chat: Expect timeout Sep 1 15:01:42 catbox ppp[372]: tun1: Warning: Chat script failed I have also tried this with ATF\N9, ATF\\\N9 and ATF^\N9. I'm unsure why the script expects timeout and not CONNECT. If I leave out ATF\\N9 OK before ATE1Q0, the modem will dial (the LNE LED indicates that an ISDN connection is being established), but won't get a carrier.

Dump
I had a question I have 4 filesystems that I want to dump(8) to my SCSI Tape backup drive (Travan 4GB uncompressed). The filesystems are, /, /usr, /var, and /usr/home. All four filesystems equal about 2.5Gigs of data. I dumped the first filesystem / by executing, dump -0uf /dev/sa0 / then executed, mt -f /dev/sa0 eom to move the tape to the end of the backup (to append to the tape), then dumped the second filesystem (/usr) using,dump -0uf /dev/sa0 /usr. Then once again I executed, mt -f /dev/sa0 to move the tape to the end (to append to it). When I go to execute, restore -if /dev/sa0 to confirm that both filesystems were saved so far, there's only ONE filesystem saved to the tape /. I can't 'cd' to /var because it's not on the tape. What am I doing wrong??? I know I still have plenty of tape left to save other filesystems, but it's not dumping anything after the first filesystem. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong??

Then you can run `restore if /dev/sa0' to get files from *THAT PARTITION ONLY*. So if you wanted to restore a file in / but not /var or /usr (assuming rewound tape), do: # restore -if /dev/sa0 like you tried. To restore a file on /usr (assuming above order) on a rewound tape, do: # mt -f /dev/sa0 fsf # restore -if /dev/sa0 To restore a file on /usr/home, rewound tape, do `fsf 2'. To restore a file on /var and rewound tape, use `fsf 3'. To rewind the tape: # mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind It may be useful to keep a catalog as the first file on the tape. So you might want to do something like this before a backup of multiple file systems on one tape: # mt -f /dev/sa0 erase # CAREFUL! this erases previous backup! # dd of=/dev/sa0 EOF Backup of `hostname` made on `date +%D` sector 0: this catalog fsf1: / fsf2: /usr fsf3: /usr/home fsf4: /var EOF # dump 0uf /dev/sa0 / # dump 0uf /dev/sa0 /usr # dump 0uf /dev/sa0 /usr/home # dump 0uf /dev/sa0 /var # mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind Using this kind of thing, you can see exactly where each backup is located. To get to a certain backup, do: # mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind # dd if=/dev/sa0 catalog will be output assumes you want to restore a file from /usr/home, fsf 3 # mt -f /dev/sa0 fsf 3 # cd /usr/home # restore if /dev/sa0 Note that when restoring a file system other than /, paths are relative to the root of that filesystem. So, for example, if you're restoring from /usr backup, then /usr/X11R6 is actually /X11R6. /home will be there, but empty (it's a mount point). Also, in the above catalog, file numbers really start at 1; I was simplifying it so it would be easy to see exactly what you need to give to mt. -- Josh Thanks, Michael ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: scripting the buildworld/installworld process
Most of the time, you only need to see the last 4 or 5. I think that I only look at one of my builds to see the chmod 444 freebsd.cf and fire up the next script. OK, I understand. I think I will go ahead and change tail to tail -n 50. That should provide plenty of feedback, eh? BTW, If you add both of your kernels to /etc/make.conf, you would only need one buildkernel. The first one is the one that is installed. I have it commented now but I used to use #KERNCONF=RUBY GENERIC to build both and install just RUBY. I got so that I liked the logs I thought it would be a good idea to install both GENERIC and CUSTOM kernels, so that I could boot to GENERIC if necessary. So, if I add KERNCONF=GENERIC CUSTOM to make.conf, then the generic kernel is installed as /boot/kernel, and I can cp /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.GENERIC. Then I can do installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM, and that will install the custom kernel as /boot/kernel, and that will be the default to boot...? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

NAT will take the packet, process it if it's an RFC 1918 address, if not, allow it to pass and then reinject it into the firewall at rule 2 (or next available rule) and continue processing the ruleset. I've not been awake for long and have had little to no Mt Dew yet so don't hold this against me. Without going over this for awhile, which I recommend when doing a firewall, this may be something in the neighborhood that you're looking for.

no response on unnumbered bridged interface?
Hi guys. I've just upgraded (aka reinstalled) my firewall up to 5.1-RELEASE. The hardware isn't particularly new, but it's been quite happily trudging along for the past few years using 4.something. However, with 5.1, I've found weirdness and I wanted to check to see if this is expected behaviour or not. The machine has two 3C509's ep0 (external) and ep1 (internal). Ep0 is numbered and the following sysctl variables set: Net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=ep0,ep1 Net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 Net.link.ether.bridge=1 Now it bridges quite happily ( I have IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_ACCEPT set in the kernel), and I can ping back and forth without any problem. However, if I try and access the bridge from a machine connected to the switch on the inside interface, it doesn't respond. Tcdump on the box shows ECHO request packets, I see arp traffic (and the inside machine has the correct mac address), but I see no echo responses. This is a problem, since I'd like to admin this box from inside my network. :) I also wouldn't mind the box seeing the internal network... I can't see anything wrong with what I've got, and there's nothing in the docs about this problem. I also experienced this problem with a Intel EtherExpress Pro I had in there as the internal interface, and both the ep1 card and the Intel NIC have worked in other boxes. Has anyone got any ideas on what's going on here? As far as I can tell, the config is identical to my previous installation...

5.1 install panics
i am doing a new system install but the 5.1 release panics on install. After probing devices the kernel panics: /: no space on device The system has a new unpartitioned 120GB SATA hard drive connected to an Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 1210SA. The system has 1 GB of RAM, a regular IDE CD-ROM, and standard floppy. Anyone have any ideas? I suspect it is the adaptec card. -Derek [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ugly Huge BSD Monster
Almost every package I install requires a few other packages. This 'idea of using dependent packages' turns FreeBSD (and other unix-systems) to an ugly monster. For example, I don't need Perl or Python but a few packages I install require them. Does exist a programming under unix without these dependencies? P.S. Under Windows it is possible to write not bad applications which depend just on libraries (KERNEL32, USER32, GDI32). And these libs exist on every base system!!! Is it possible in unix?

If you want compact unix programs, don't use X apps or apps written in scripting languages like Perl and Python. FreeBSD by itself doesn't offer the monstrous APIs that Windows offers; it just offers an implementation of the standard C library (libc). As a result, stock FreeBSD is a very barebones environment. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net The best way to lose an argument is to throw the first punch. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you seriously saying you've never had to download a vbrun*.dll to get a Windows program that required Visual Basic to run? Or maybe had to download one of the many patches that afflict the MS Java implementation? Is it possible in unix? Of course. Most programs in the ports tree are standalone. 95% of the programs in the base system are standalone. Before I thought that unix programs very compact, but they are huge! Some are huge, some are small. There are a lot of Windows programs that are huge too (MS Word, for example). -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This 'idea of using dependent packages' turns FreeBSD (and other unix-systems) to an ugly monster. At least the dependencies are taken care of for you automatically in FreeBSD, unlike some systems which require you to download and install each depedency manually. For example, I don't need Perl or Python but a few packages I install require them. Does exist a programming under unix without these dependencies? P.S. Under Windows it is possible to write not bad applications which depend just on libraries (KERNEL32, USER32, GDI32). And these libs exist on every base system!!! I have to deal with creating internal distribution packages for all kinds of Windows software just about every day, and the dependencies for Windows software can be much worse, especially for Microsoft's own software which seems to be among the worst. Microsoft Office XP alone depends on (when installed on a base Windows 98SE installation), no less than Microsoft Installer 2.x (MSI), Internet Explorer 6, MDAC, and several other non-Office bits and pieces that don't come to mind right now. Granted, they are included in the Office XP installer and it will install all of this by itself if you don't have any of them installed, but they are indeed separate depedencies. I break as many depedencies as I possibly can out of a particular piece of software into separate distribution packages with their own dependency chains. The FreeBSD ports/packages system just happens to already do this to a high degree, because it is a good idea. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - x86-64, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org No trees were harmed in the composition of this message, although some electrons were mildly inconvenienced. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And these libs exist on every base system!!! Is it possible in unix? Before I thought that unix programs very compact, but they are huge! You've already got a boatload of responses, but I figured I'd throw in mine: it depends on the application. If applications require a scripting language, by virtue of what they do or how they are written, well, you get a scripting language in the dependencies. To get a Windows-like environment on FreeBSD, you need to layer the X server and then a toolkit/windowing environment on top -- my personal leaning right now is to stick QT/KDE on top. Once you have those pieces in place, you have a lot of what you need to write general-purpose applications interacting with users, the network, multimedia, etc. If you look at some of the key UNIX software packages, however, you'll see that they tend not to have a lot of dependencies -- Apache, Postgres, MySQL, etc. These applications avoid dependencies through less reliance on scripting, GUI elements, etc. One of the upsides, and downsides, of the open source world is a strong dependence on scripting, and the resulting diversification of scripting languages and rapid prototyping tools. This occurs in the Windows world also, though -- if you rely on Java, you need the JVM. If you have TCL applications, you need the TCL environment as well. Many web sites running on Windows use Perl for CGI just as they do in UNIX, in which case you need Perl... One of the nice things about this package-oriented approach is that the dependencies are generally very explicit: you want to write a gui app, so you need the gui pieces. Your application requires a back-end database, so a database dependency is introduced. In Windows, you have a larger base but less ability to decompose as a result. I'm also a bit alarmed when I install a new application and pick up two new scripting languages along the way -- I tend to avoid installing applications that pull in scripting as a dependency. However, sometimes that's unavoidable. In Windows, I think you'll find applications depend on more in the way of libraries than you think, though... Upgrades to system dlls when you build and install applications are not infrequent -- application vendors tend to quietly bundle all the dependent runtime components and quietly install them Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Associates Laboratories ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The authors of the offending software packages should not do that. It's going to be incredibly hard to get the FSF to quit using libibery, getline, gdb, etc., though. For example, I don't need Perl or Python but a few packages I install require them. Don't install those packages? Provide patches that remove the dependencies, if they are trivial? Rewrite the software from scratch, if the dependencirs turn out to be non-trivial? Does exist a programming under unix without these dependencies? Sure. Anything you are willing to write that doesn't do that. P.S. Under Windows it is possible to write not bad applications which depend just on libraries (KERNEL32, USER32, GDI32). And these libs exist on every base system!!! I beg to differ. InstallShield has a tendency to install the NT version of CTL3D.DLL over top of the Windows 95/98 version, breaking things utterly (as one example). Also, CRTL32.DLL no longer ships with the base system, but it is required for a lot of runtime executable code. It was left out of the base system in order to force people to distribute it, and that was done to impose license restrictions on where the resulting code can be run (i.e. it's free to redistribute with your applications, so long as you only run them on a Microsoft OS -- see the VisualDevStudio license next time you get a chance). Is it possible in unix? Before I thought that unix programs very compact, but they are huge! You're using the wrong programs. I'm going to guess you are installing Gnome or KDE or something like that that has a huge dependency list because it wants to have a huge feature list. -- Terry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
