The thing is that those packages (called FreeBSD-stable-packages)
can (and imo) should be used with RELEASE either. The ports tree
is always HEAD. And -stable- for packages means only that they
were build after -release- packages.

I do realize this however, if one stays with RELEASE (and not deal with
the possible (I did say possible) headaches of a changing base system)
then (as I read it from the Handbook) updating packages is moot. They
won't change until the next point release.

I'm just trying to determine the way I want to move back to FreeBSD and
not repeat the episodes of upgrades due to installing ports. This
turned out to be a weekly event that took the majority of my Friday
nights.

I admit that I have gotten spoiled with Linux updates (all binary - no
issues, no breakage, and no dependency-hell like there used to be with
Ports). Of course, I'm sure that dealing with Ports has improved in the
2 years I was on my "sabbatical", but I did get used to actually using
and enjoying my puter (again, my biased view point on when I used
to use FreeBSD).

And now for the last question - I know there were issues mounting ext2
(128 bit) but have since been corrected. This is important to me in the
short term. 

What version (I know the upcoming 8 will have it) now has the patch I
have about that supports ext2/128 bit?  If it's 7.2, I assume that
updating the src should or would take care of it?

Once I have recommitted back to FBSD, I would convert the drives that
are currently ext3.

I'm not trolling nor trying to start an OS war, just some questions I
need to get clarity on before I wipe and install. If all my ducks are in
a row, my transition back should be rather pleasant or at worse, not
happen at all.

Thanks for your time.

If you call dd without bs= parameter, the default of 512 is
assumed. This may not be correct for video DVDs. You could
try bs=1m, but I'm not sure what the correct block size for
DVDs is...

For copying them, I always felt comfortable with the vobcopy
tool (for reading), and growisofs -dvd-compat (for writing).
Both tools can be installed via ports or packages.

> [r...@sniper ~]# cp /dev/acd0 /usr/local/dvds/biggest_loser.iso

Just a side note: I don't think /usr/local is a good place
to store DVD images. Some path like /usr/home/dvds would be
good. The /usr/local subtree is "reserved" for locally installed
applications; see "man hier" for details.

Thanks - although, this seems a moot point if one sticks with RELEASE
(until a point release that is I suppose).

My preferred technique is to use mplayer:

mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile dvd.mpg

Be sure to play the DVD with mplayer to check which track is actually the
movie. Usually it is track #1, but not always.

After copying the stream, I tend to re-encode it for backup purposes with the
H.264 video codec with MP3 sound, which makes it a lot smaller. The first step
is to watch the mpeg and see if there are black stripes around the picture:

mplayer -vf cropdetect dvd.mpg

This will give you a continuous list of crop lines, e.g:
[CROP] Crop area: X: 1..719  Y: 74..500  (-vf crop=704:416:10:80).0

Next step is to re-encode the mpeg file in two steps for enhanced quality,
including the crop information, if any:

mencoder title.mpg -ovc x264 \
-x264encopts subq=4:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:qp=18:threads=auto:pass=1 \
-idx -oac mp3lame -vf crop=704:416:10:80 -o /dev/null; \
mencoder title.mpg  -ovc x264 -x264encopts \
subq=6:partitions=all:8x8dct:me=umh:frameref=5:bframes=3:\
b_pyramid:weight_b:qp=18:threads=auto:pass=2 -vf crop=704:416:10:80 \
-idx -oac mp3lame -o title.avi;

If you want to include a specific language or subtitle, don't forget to
include the correct options for that; see the mplayer manual.

The port sysutils/bsdadminscripts has a script pkg_upgrade

From sysutils/bsdadminscripts - pkg_upgrade looks like what I am
after.


From the pkg_upgrade man page...


PKG_UPGRADE(1)   BSD Reference Manual
PKG_UPGRADE(1)

NAME


 pkg_upgrade - upgrade an installed package in-place

SYNOPSIS


 pkg_upgrade [-afqsv] pkgname.cgz

DESCRIPTION


 The pkg_upgrade command is used to upgrade an installed package
 in-place. If no other version of the package is installed and -a
 is not given, pkg_upgrade simply calls pkg_add(1). Otherwise, the
 installed package is deleted and the new version is added, keeping
 dependencies intact.

 The following command line options are supported:

 -a  Ignore packages for which no older version is installed
 (auto).

 -f  Force upgrading the package: Also upgrade if the exact
 same ver- sion is already installed, useful if you rebuilt a
 package from source. If a conflicting package other than an older
 version of the same package is installed, remove it.

 -q  Don't print less important messages (quiet).

 -s  Enable special treatment for shared libraries, see below
 (shlibs).

 -v  Pass the -v flag to subprocesses for more verbose
 operation.

SHARED LIBRARY SUPPORT


 pkg_upgrade has a special mode for upgrading shared library
 packages. Consider the following situation: You have installed a
 package foo that contains libfoo.so.1.0. Package bar is also
 installed and contains a binary that depends on this version of
 libfoo. Now you upgrade the foo package, the new version contains
 libfoo.so.2.0 instead. The other binary will no longer run.

 For this reason, systems like Debian split their library packages
 in two: the library itself and a "developer" package containing
 headers and so on. Instead, pkg_upgrade creates a "stub package"
 from the installed package. Basically, the installed package is
 split in two. The old li- braries are kept as a package named
 stub-pkgname while the rest is delet- ed and replaced by the new
 version.

 In the general case, this should work but you may still run into
 situa- tions where you will need to rebuild dependent packages
 from source. In any case, you can delete unused stub packages
 after you have rebuilt dependent packages.

 pkg_add(1), pkg_create(1), pkg_delete(1), ports(7)

having problems copying a dvd

[af300wsm]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a copy of a dvd that I have, video, using a technique  
that I gleaned from this list nearly two years ago that has always worked  
but now I'm having problems. (When I say always, please bear in mind that I  
don't do this every day or even frequently). You'll also see calls to dd.  
These were attempts at "last ditch effort." I usually just use the copy  
command (got it from a thread entitled, "copying a dvd video," from  
November of 07). If dd will work but I just forgot to get the block size  
right, what is that supposed to be.


So, here's what I'm doing with the results. Any help is greatly appreciated  
because am at the point of pulling my hair out (which might have actually  
happened had I not shaved it off).

Disk cache, most likely.  I would expect "Free" memory as reported by top to
drop down to under 100MB a few hours after a system is rebooted.  The
difference between Active->Inact->Cache->Buf is more an indication of how
long ago a particular page has been touched (and how much work it is to map
the page back into a processes memory space), and doesn't really say what
the block is being used for.  If you are not actively swapping, there is no
need for panic.  Even a couple hundred MB of used swap is fine, as long as
you're not constantly having to pull it back into memory.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/vm.html has a good rundown
of how the VM system works.

Lots of options, of course.  Even more with Perl.


Yeah, how 'bout Perl:

% perl -ne 's/\n/ /g; print;' < tests/ips.txt


perl -pe 'chomp' myfile

is somewhat easier.  Works with Ruby, too.

What I see is a slapd process using about 150M, then around a hundred

free, now, after three months we're at 11% free loosing about 20% per month.


The exact sum VSZ right now as shown by ps is 1073632k but top says

Mem: 3111M Active, 311M Inact, 230M Wired, 144M Cache, 112M Buf, 27M Free

Clearly something is grabbing memory and not releasing it.

Stopping and starting various programs makes very little difference.
No SYSV mem at all.

As it seems to me, qutIM isn't ported to FreeBSD yet.

You don't need to do this on FreeBSD. Applications and libraries
that are ported to FreeBSD are available via the Ports Collection:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/ru/books/handbook/ports.html

So you first install Qt from ports or packages, then try do get
the source of qutIM working. This would work like this:

1. Download the qutIM sources.
2. Extract them.
3. Run
% ./configure (e. g. with needed parameters)
% make
% sudo make install

But keep in mind that it's possible that the configure script
doesn't honor the FreeBSD platform, so you won't be able to
compile and install it.

> I type
> # gmake

FreeBSD uses a different make program. As it seems, you try to
compile a Linux program on FreeBSD...?

It's a dependency, as well as the Qt library, that you have to
install prior to any compile attempt. A command like

# pkg_add -r qt4-designer

should do this, and even install all other needed dependencies,
such as Qt itself.



> Help me please! 

Check out FreeBSD's precompiled packages and the ports collection.
Make sure the qutIM sources are compatible with FreeBSD's building
tools.

Finally, ask the developers of qutIM for a FreeBSD version.

There's at least portupgrade with the -P option that forces the
use of packages. You can as well use pkg_add to perform an
"upgrade-like" action, but you'll have to take care for more
things manually.

It's been years since I've needed to use NAT, so unfortunately, I can't
help here.

I'm sure someone else will speak up. If nothing comes up in the next
while, perhaps asking on -ipfw will help (but do not cross-post).

My initial assumption was that you are familiar with the specific type of 
device you are asking about. Then, I remembered I was tempted by the SD 
form-factor as well.

I think you are asking for trouble because SD cards support "Content Protection 
for Recordable Media (CPRM)." One of the "features" is "'key revocation' 
technology built into each card."

http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/

I also read that speed is hampered by the interface design because they wanted 
something they could patent, rather than just re-implementing SPI (Serial 
Peripheral Interface).

The SD card Association has a what would have been a promising floppy 
replacement without those two deliberate design flaws.

If you are aware of that and sill want a SDHC reader, I don't have any reason 
to stop you :)

James Phillips

which version of NFS are you using on the server side, which version
are you attempting to use on the client side.

also, it may be helpful if you post your /etc/exports file from your
server (or what ever configuration you are using on the OSX server)
and your mount command that is failing.

Daily security report oddity...

[Kurt Buff]

I got a daily security run email from one of my machines on Monday
morning, with the following entry:

 zmx1.zetron.com login failures:
 Aug 30 06:57:17 zmx1 su: BAD SU mlee to root on /dev/ttyp2
 Aug 30 09:42:17 zmx1 su: BAD SU mlee to root on /dev/ttyp0

What's puzzling is that this account has been completely inactive for
well over a year - this fellow is long gone, and I simply didn't clean
it up - that's my bad, but that's not the puzzling part.

I traced it down, and found out that he had not logged in on Sunday.
The auth.log is, as you can see from the listing below, quite old. The
entries referenced above are from two years ago.

zmx1# ll /var/log/a*
-rw---  1 root  wheel  71845 Sep  1 15:42 /var/log/auth.log
-rw---  1 root  wheel   6087 Aug 29  2007 /var/log/auth.log.0.bz2
-rw---  1 root  wheel   5774 Aug 12  2007 /var/log/auth.log.1.bz2
-rw---  1 root  wheel   5795 Jul 24  2007 /var/log/auth.log.2.bz2
-rw---  1 root  wheel   6813 Jul  6  2007 /var/log/auth.log.3.bz2


So, a couple of questions:

Why would the daily security run pick up something from *two years
ago* and only report it again today? The machine hasn't been rebooted
in a very long time, if that makes a difference.

Is there any way to prevent something like this happening again - or
perhaps can I force the entry of the year into the date field for the
auth.log entries?

Mounting an NFS volume served by Mac OS X

[patrick]

I'm wondering if anyone has had any success in mounting an NFS export
from a Mac OS X machine on FreeBSD 7.2? When I try, I get:

RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak

The man page for exports on Mac OS X has:

 -sec=mechanism1:mechanism2... This option specifies one or more
security mechanisms
 required for access to the exported directory.  The security
mechanisms currently
 supported are krb5p, krb5i, krb5, and sys.  Multiple security
mechanisms can be spec-
 ified as a colon separated list, and should be in the order of
most preferred to
 least preferred.  In the absence of this option, the security
mechanism defaults to
 sys.


My export does not specify this, so "sys" is what is being used. Not
exactly sure what that means... I don't see any options in
mount_nfs(8) on the FreeBSD side that has anything to do with
authentication or security mechanisms...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Patrick

Do you have a proper DNS name set up for the IP that the web server is
running on?

How are you accessing the web server... by name or IP?

I'll assume that you are using Apache. What does the "ServerName"
directive say?

I'm not that familiar with FreeBSD yet, but the kernel uses memory which

For example, to map some virtual memory requires memory to store the

Open files have kernel structures, as do filesystems.

If top or ps were only to show userspace memory allocations, then you're

A sed solution would be

  sed -e :a -e '$!N; s/\n/ /; ta' my_file

Other (easier to remember) solutions could include:

  tr -d '\n' < my_file
  tr '\n' ' ' < my_file 

  echo $(cat my_file)  # not so useless use of cat!
 
  paste -s my_file

  while read line; do 
joined="$joined $(echo $line)"
  done < my_file
  echo $joined

Lots of options, of course.  Even more with Perl.

ps will sort by memory usage when given the -m flag.  Also check ipcs -a to
see if there are any sysv shared memory segments hanging arnound.  If you
don't see anything using the memory, where are you seeing that "something"
is using it?

netbooks and sdhci

[David Horwitt]

I recently purchased an Asus Aspire One D250-1151, and am,overall, 
pleased with it (running 7,2-RELEASE).
The alc ethernet is not supported in 7.2 (the ath0 wireless is), and I 
don't care about the video camera.


The '5-in-1' media reader is, unfortunately for me, a USB device. (After 
some detective work, I determined that
it uses a Reaktek RTS5101 or RTS5111). For my purposes (low level SDHC 
card access), I prefer hardware that is

supported by the sdhci/mmc subsystem.

So my question is: does anybody know _for sure_ of a hard-disk netbook 
with a media reader that uses the sdhci interface
and is supported by FBSD 7.2 (supported = wireless,X,USB). $USD300 (like 
the AA1-D250) is the desired price point, but
up to about $USD400 is OK (as is FBSD 8.0, if the hardware is right). If 
you have any pointers, please
include the sub-model information, because if it's anything like the 
Asus, the hardware varies all over the place, and

'Aspire One' means less than 'D250' or 'AO150'.

Thank you,
David

Probably this:

Ok, so maybe I was a bit too pessimistic here, and the framework that
is already in place to handle the 32-bit-only ports will suffice to
deal with the case of parallel installs of 32-bit and 64-bit ports
libraries as well, provided that ldconfig is invoked with the proper
options when registering the libraries, so that the right hints are
available, and the ports are built properly.  If you are content to
use 32-bit binaries on top of a 64-bit base system, try it out on a
test case first -- some of the diagnostic environment variables listed
in rtld(1) may help, along with ldd(1).  It still seems like more
trouble than it is worth to me, though.

Re: Boot from RAIDZ in 8.0-BETA3?

[Jason Garrett]

IMHO, unless you have a NEED to do this with the 8-BETA's I would not
attempt. While I had this working in 8.0-BETA1 upon reboot I would loose
data from entire mountpoints on the root pool. First it was /usr/ports, not
a big deal. Then it was /var/db/pkg.. the system had no idea what was
installed and what wasn't. This was a test machine, so no harm, no foul. I
would definatley not recommend this AT ALL.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV, etc.

Re: 32 bit ports on an AMD64 system

[b. f.]

You've given some of your reasons for using amd64 -- but are your
reasons for using 32-bit binaries on amd64 strong enough to make all
of this worthwhile?  Why not just use 64-bit binaries for all but the
32-bit-only ports?  Sure, some 32-bit applications will actually run
faster (the opposite is also often true) or use fewer resources, but
is it worth the hassle?

As for your earlier question, I haven't used multiple instances of X
myself, either in or out of jails, but I have seen reports of others
doing so, so I think it is possible, except perhaps in a few cases
where hardware balks because the graphics driver isn't good enough.  I
guess you'll have to make some experiments.  If you don't make
provisions for running a 32-bit X, then is there much point to having,
for example, 32-bit window managers, windowing toolkits, or GUIs?  If
you use a different LOCALBASE for 32-bit ports, you are going to have
to use 32-bit versions of most trunk and branch ports.

I still think a jail is your best bet -- after all, a "thin" jail,
which reuses those portions of your system that don't need to be
different inside the jail,  is just a more thorough version of what
you had hoped to accomplish with your 32-bit shell scripts. If you
don't use a jail ... well, I have not tried to install a large number
of 32-bit and 64-bit ports in parallel, so I am not sure if the
default setup for our loader will make the appropriate distinctions
between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same libraries depending
upon the executables or libraries that need them, but I think that
there is a good chance that it will not, and that you will have to do
some extra work to make sure that it does. In the case that it does
not, your only alternative is to either patch a large number of ports
(very time-consuming and error-prone), or to add loader environment
variables to your 32-bit shell scripts to make the loader look in the
32-bit library directories first, or to write a custom loader script
to only load the appropriate libraries depending upon whether the
executable or library that needs them  is 32-bit or 64-bit.  It would
be nice to have this flexibility, but given the current state of the
base system and infrastructure, it just seems like more trouble than
it is worth.

I didn't specify just loading modules, but extra memory as well (the
beyond 4GB addressable space). Using the options in i386 that allow
you to access memory beyond 4GB, also eliminates the ability to
dynamically load kernel modules.

Re: Interrupt storm detected on "irq10:"; throttling interrupt source

[knunke]

I'm having the same issue. It's FreeBSD on a Nokia530 Firewall. The message
that keeps repeating over and over is "interrupt storm detected on "irq12:";
throttling interrupt source".

Here's the vmstat -i 

interrupt  total   rate
irq0: clk  31362 98
irq4: sio0 21362 67
irq6: cbb1 dc1 dc2 1  0
irq8: rtc  40020126
irq11: dc4 dc7+1  0
irq12: cbb0 dc528456 89
irq14: ata032073101
Total 153275483

I have no idea what the + means next to  IRQ11. I know of a couple of people
that have this problem as well. Let me know if you need any other
information.

Thanks,
Kurt Nunke

Indeed, I found "General features (at least three)? Firewall, GUI,

him the bother of handing it in.

If that were the only response, he probably would have just printed
the handbook out and handed it in - given the amount of effort he took
to hide the fact that it was a home work question.

That said, he *might* actually learn something about FreeBSD, which is
probably more than can be said for the rest of his class.

All FreeBSD supported platforms can dynamically load native kernel modules, so
why should that be a factor in choosing between i386 and amd64?

Yes


Yes, there is no difference between "normal" and alias IP. alias is the
keyword used by the ifconfig utility to add an other IP address to an
interface. All IP addresses bound to an interface are equivalent, I mean
there is any hierarchy of importance of the addresses.

"ifconfig int0 -alias" just happens to remove the first IP address.
You really should use "ifconfig int0 delete 192.168.0.1"

Yup, you need to re-init networking to regain access.


Most probably, you rendered the default gateway unreachable with the removal
of the IP.

With only console stuff, that'd probably be fine, a jail wouldn't be
much more tedious than the environment shuffling I'd need to run the
32 bit stuff, however I'll want to do some X11 stuff..
I know you can access X between different users on a machine, but can
a jail'ed shell open a window on an X server running from the main
machine? I'm not even sure what terms I would use for searching on how
to get that working.

Well, this would certainly help with building the ports safely.  But I
think we -- at least I was -- were thinking that you would actually
leave them in the jail, and run them from the jailed environment, so
there would be fewer run-time problems, and no work to transfer them
over.  Remember that you've got to ensure that there is no problem
with run-time linking of shared libraries, some of which (in your
current scheme) will have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions with the
same soname.  You can probably work around this problem as well, but
it seems easier to leave them in the jail.

DDR1 ram.

I added another ip on my rl0 interface, brought it up, everything was fine

wrote a wrong command (ifconfig rl0 -alias) and since then I have no access
to the box. I then turned to my vmware FreeBSD to reproduce the situation

So, make/build/run a normal jail using the 64 bit os "world", add -m32
to the make.conf CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, build stuff in the jail, and
copy it to main (non-jailed) system, and run ldconfig on the library

Re: itunes on FreeBSD

[Michael David Crawford]

I am working on a GPL audio application called Ogg Frog:

   http://www.oggfrog.com/free-music-software/

It isn't ready for release yet, but when it is released for sure I will 
support FreeBSD.  I will set up a port for it that hopefully can be 
included with the official ports.


The initial release will be little more than a player, but later 
releases will support CD ripping, encoding, CD burning and integration 
with portable players.


While Ogg Frog itself will be GPL, the audio core will be MIT licensed 
and contributed to the ZooLib C++ cross-platform application framework, 
to eventually become a media framework for ZooLib, which previously 
hasn't had any media support.  Video will come eventually, but not for 
quite a while.

Unfortunately I do. The 32 bit stuff is *would be really nice, but not

kernel modules is a bit more important to me.

I was thinking of leaving the standard paths alone, and setting up one
or more [ba|c|]sh32 alias/scripts which would start up the appropriate
shell, with 32-bit directories at the front of the path. I know I'll
end up having both 32- and 64-bit of Python on my system (many of the
main apps I use require python - but I also want to be able to use
py-psyco), as well as a few copies of the various GUI toolkits in
32-bit.

I've messed with Amarok and was able to get songs to and from an ipod.
I haven't worked with it too much. It's been a while too. So, my
advice would be dusty (If I have any).

itunes on FreeBSD

[Jerry]

I use itunes  extensively on my Windows
machines to download music. AFAIK, Apple does not make a version for
linux/bsd, although I might be incorrect.

I investigated Rhapsody ;
however, there is no generic version of that available for linux/bsd
either.

Is anyone aware of a similar programs that works on FreeBSD? I am
looking for a full featured program that works along the same lines as
itunes.

ALSA has never worked AFAIK. The library is only there for applications
that link to it, but don't actually use it. It might be worth a try to
install the alsa-plugins-oss RPM and then configure ALSA lib to use the
FreeBSD OSS device.

I had a similar problem on IBM x3650 with 6 sata disks. While testing
zfs, I got kmem panic and after reboot same errors appeared.
OpenSolaris does not allow to boot from raidz and there can be only
one vdev in bootable pool, so I decided to make two pools if I need
raidz or multiple vdevs:
- one root pool (8G) (mirror disk0 disk1 ... disk5)
- one for data and other fs (raidz disk0 disk1 ... disk5)
