 I compiled it into the kernel but the terms are still cons25.

The latest I heard, a few months back,
from the author was that it's still not
working. It must be in the archives somewhere.
The advice was to continue using cons25X, where
X is your locale.

 After upgrading perl according to UPDATING, I cannot use mrtg anymore. The
 error message is:

 Bareword P_DETACH not allowed while strict subs in use at

 I filled a PR on this but haven't seen any answers/solutions:

 Am I the only one having this problem?

 If the port needs upgrading (as suggested in my PR), but this does not
 happen, how can I fix it myself?

 Hi again,
 
 Hope I'm not beeing a pain...
 
 But I wolud really like to hearing from *anyone* who has upgradeded perl and
 has mrtg installed. Even if is working whtout problems. So, at least, I know
 that I have to look for a specific problem on my own server.
 I forgot to mention that I'm running 8.1 Stable.

Hi Jon. You're not alone. :-)

I ran into the same issue and it has also been reported on Gentoo (which
I use too). The solution is mrtg 2.16.4 and until the ports tree is
updated there's a patch here you can apply manually which worked for me:

Samba PDC roaming profiles problem

2010-08-02 Thread Alex de Kruijff


Hi,

I've setup a LDAP backend Samba PDC. I can gain access to shares and

login with a user that is in LDAP, but have a prblem setting up the
roaming profile stuff. I've been trying to solve this problem for some
time now, and have tried everything I could think of, but without much
luck. I keep getting the following error messages:

Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is
attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile
will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Plausible causes of
this error include network problem or insufficient security rights. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrators. DETAILS -

 Did you also compile in the correct firmware module?
 

yes, I did

From my kernel config file:

device  iwn

and this is from dmesg (verbose boot):

%

so the modules are loaded but the device didn't attach.


  However, the card doesn't appear in dmesg or
  in pciconf -lv.
 
 Hmm. My 5100 AGN is correctly detected and used;

 iwn0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 
 36M

well.. I get nothing:

% pciconf -lv|grep iwn
%

 
  The laptop has a wireless toggle button, which is supposed
  to enable/disable wireless. There is also an LED, which
  lights on when wireless is enabled, and goes off
  when wireless is off. Well, at least this is what
  should happen.
  
  On boot the LED is on.
  
  If I press the button to disable wireless, the LED goes
  off and in dmesg I see:
  
  ugen0.2: Broadcom Corp at usbus0 (disconnected)
  
  When I switch wireless back on again I see in dmesg:
  
  ugen0.2: Broadcom Corp at usbus0
  Does this mean that wireless sits on USB bus?
 
 I don't think so. I think this is some kind of management interface? I get the
 same messages when I switch off my 5100 AGN.
  
  Does this give me a clue about how to debug
  the problem further?
 
 It puzzles me that it is not seen in the pciconf output. Could it be that the
 wireless is disabled in the laptop's BIOS?

I can't see any wireless BIOS option.

I reset to default options, so now the only
disabled options are under Device Configurations

Swap Fn/Ctrl Keys   Disable
Fan Always on while on AC Power Disable
Windows Vista(TM) Direct App Launch Disable

The default options also show under Built-In
Device Options:

Embedded Bluetooth Device Radio Enable
Wake on LAN Enable

but these shouldn't really be affecting WLAN.


Maybe I should check the connectors on the card.
The old Broadcom card had 2 connectors, this
Intel card has 3, so I connected only terminals
1 and 2 to the laptop - there are no other wires.

Maybe I should have another look at this..

many thanks

No. I saw numbers that I was reasonably happy with and didn't pursue further.

 Do you see errors on the interface?

Nope. 60 MB/sec via FTP is about 60% of gigabit and was faster than some disk

 # netstat -I yourinterface
 
 Another trick to eliminate disk io from the equation is to use nc:
 
 machine1 freebsd:
 # nc -o -l 2000  /dev/null
 
 machine2:
 # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=50 | nc machine1 2000

60 MB/sec was the average over gigabytes of data. Real data. Real network wire.

 Actually, pitchforks typically have four.  Two would be a fauchard or

Hay isn't what we slung (slinged, slang ??) with four tined forks.
It was something farther along the food processing path well mixed

For hay, you really want a 5 tined fork if you can get it.

  Interestingly, the trident seems to appear in a number of religions.
  
  Shiva carries one:

 Not all Hindu deities have that many arms, y'know.  Ayyappa, Rama, and
 Krishna come to mind.  Maybe he's just among those Hindu deities.

You are assuming every program's Makefile uses WITH_DEBUG that way!  The base
system doesn't for one. And neither do all ports. To look for yourself, use
the following command;

find /usr/ports/ -type f -name Makefile -exec grep -H DEBUG {} \;

While a lot use WITH_DEBUG, not all ports do, and some use other options, like
NODEBUG or DEBUGFLAGS, or DEBUGGING.

You'd have to look into the programs in question to see how to enable

sorry, I meant connectors. But I think this is all fine.

There are 2 connectors coming from laptop

There are 3 matching connectors on the wireless
device, labeled 1, 2 and 3. So I connect 1 to 1
and 2 to 2. This leaves connector 3 on the wireless
device unconnected.

 Roland

WITH_DEBUG has special meaning in the ports infrastructure, and as long
as a specific port uses CFLAGS during compilation, it will be compiled
with debugging symbols when WITH_DEBUG is enabled.  Some ports also
check the value of WITH_DEBUG within their own Makefile in order to set
port-specific debug build options.

See this excerpt from /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:

# WITH_DEBUG - If set, debugging flags are added to CFLAGS and the
#  binaries don't get stripped by INSTALL_PROGRAM.
#  Besides, individual ports might add their specific
#  to produce binaries for debugging purposes.
#  You can override the debug flags that are passed to
#  the compiler by setting DEBUG_FLAGS. It is set to
#  -g at default.

Just put the following in /etc/make.conf and then recompile the ports
you want to include debug symbols:

WITH_DEBUG= yes

Hope that helps,

 filesystem full  after installing the new kernel?

The number of kernel modules has been increasing quite quickly, and
modules are installed with the kernel (by default).  This has led to
installkernel filling up the root filesystem increasingly often.  It
just happened to me yesterday, although in that case snapshots and four
or five old kernels were part of the problem.

Are you *sure* that the filesystem isn't full?  
Can you show df(1) output?

Strange, though, that so few people report this problem. Maybe they just
live happily with the old perl version. :-)

 There are 3 matching connectors on the wireless

 and 2 to 2. This leaves connector 3 on the wireless
 device unconnected.

As far as I can tell from the pictures, [see
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/overview.htm]
these cards have the following connectors:

  - PCIe  USB on the bottom
  - 3 coaxial antenna connectors on the other side
  - two power connections

I'm assuming you are talking about the antenna connectors... AFAICT from the
product brief, it supports either two or three antennas, so that shouldn't be
a problem.

Is the card getting power?

How can I check?

If the two plated holes at the top left and top
right corner are the power connections, then
probably yes. I screwed the 2 screws back
into their places through these holes after
putting the card in place.

Maybe the device is just broken.

Also, it seems to be a clone of the genuine
intel device. It doesn't look exactly like
in the above link (instead of the top three
chips I have one silver box, but perhaps
the Intel pic shows the card with this casing
removed).

The technical specification from the Intel page
mentions an LED. I don't see any LED fire up
when the laptop boots or is on. Perhaps this
is an evidence for the card being broken.

If I plug the old (the one installed in the
laptop when I bought it, 2007) Broadcom device
instead, it gets detected:

no...@pci0:48:0:0:  class=0x028000 card=0x1371103c chip=0x431214e4 rev=0x02 
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM4310 UART (Wireless Ethernet Adapter)'
class  = network

(I haven't checked bwi(4) yet, but will do
if the Intel card comes to nothing).

So to conclude, I'll have to assume that the
Intel card is dead, so it seems..

many thanks for your help

This might not be a good idea since you might need your old kernel to
boot from if anything went wrong with the new one.
Probably you built your kernel with debugging symbols turned on, which
will make it _much_ bigger (and slower!)
Put the following line into your /etc/make.conf
INSTALL_NODEBUG=yes   
and try again.

Re: Is KDE 4.4.5 on FreeBSD 8.1 this bad?

2010-08-02 Thread Michel Talon

I wrote:

 Of course making X to run was an exercise in pain, i had to enable HAL
 and DBUS otherwise keyboard and mouse were not recognized, the data in
 the xorg.conf were not obeyed, etc. but this was to be expected. The
 only problem i have now is that i have seen no way to configure the
 kdm greeter so that the french keyboard is recognized as french, which
 is inconvenient to type the passwd.


For reference the solution i have found is to modify some hald config
file this way:

cat /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi

?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?
deviceinfo version=0.2
  device

!-- KVM emulates a USB graphics tablet which works in absolute
coordinate mode --
match key=input.product contains=QEMU USB Tablet
   merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringevdev/merge
/match

match key=info.capabilities contains=input.tablet
  match key=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name
 string=Linux
merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringevdev/merge
  /match
/match

match key=info.capabilities contains=input.keyboard
  !-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
   keyboard otherwise). --
  merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringkbd/merge
  match key=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name
 string=Linux
merge key=input.x11_driver type=stringevdev/merge
  /match
  merge key=input.x11_options.XkbModel type=stringpc105/merge
  merge key=input.x11_options.XkbLayout type=stringfr/merge
/match

  /device
/deviceinfo

The modification is to add the two lines with pc105 and fr at the end
which provide a fall back for non Linux systems.

Then X starts with a french keyboard and kdm sees it. By the way to
start kdm automatically, the solution is in the FreeBSD KDE4 wiki, it is
simply to add the following to /etc/rc.conf

local_startup=${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d
kdm4_enable=YES

Hope this may help some poor fellow who has not followed the recent
modifications to xorg configuration closely, modifications which can be
summarized as: Why do it simple when one can do it complex?.

 Subject: Setting Debug flag in /etc/make.conf

 I have been having problems with several different programs lately.
 Would there be any serious drawback to simply setting: WITH_DEBUG= 
 in the /etc/make.conf file to force everything I build/rebuild to be
 built with debug symbols? I am assuming that I can simply place that
 flag in the make.conf file. Do I have to also give it a value; i.e =1
 or =yes also?

What's wrong with the traditional way of doing this -- i.e.,  setting the 
environment variable CFLAGS to  -g   befoe your start make-inthings?

Re: Installing 8.1-RELEASE from the memstick

   When installing from the 8.1-RELEASE memstick, what is the correct
   selection for Installation Media?  I'm not finding any mention of
   memstick in the Handbook.

It could use a mention.  And the problem shown below could use a FAQ 
entry if it proves too hard to easily fix - it'll keep on coming up.

  You want USB (assuming you did put the image on an actual memstick and not  
  a CD or some other such oddity), but you may have tried that and had the  
  some problem I was.
  
  I just did a memstick install yesterday and it wouldn't let me select USB  
  as the install media, it said not found or something, but stumbled on the  
  simple fix:

It actually says, in sysinstall/media.c:

-   msgConfirm(No USB devices found!);

I think it might be helpful to those that this happens to, if it said:

+   msgConfirm(No USB devices found!\n
+   (try Options menu: Rescan devices));

or did a once-off auto rescan if it fails the first time, but I haven't 
delved into the code deeply enough to know how hard that might be.

  When it comes time to select the media, go to the 'View/Set various  
  installation options' screen instead. Press up-arrow a couple times to get  
  to 'Re-scan devices' and press the space bar. In my case, it happens so  
  quick that it doesn't look like anything actually happens, but it did  
  really do something. Press Q to go back to the install menu, and go ahead  
  to 'Media' and pick USB. It should then say 'Using USB device: da0a'.

Indeed, or you can just up-arrow a bit further to the Media selection 
from there, straight after doing the Rescan devices.

You'll see the same issue if you boot from USB memstick and boot into 
sysinstall to run the Fixit shell; with some non-latest hardware and/or 
reportedly some brands of USB stick, sysinstall's initial device scan 
timing misses the da0 device that it just booted off, and this forced 
rescan becomes necessary.  My T23 only does USB 1.1, maybe a factor.

Randi said last year that this rescan could take a long time on older 
hardware, but on my '02 Thinkpad T23 (1133MHz P3-M) it takes less than a 
second; people with much slower machines are used to waiting a bit :)

My first 8.1 install from memstick (last night) actually failed to do 
anything useful, after slicing, labeling and choosing distributions it 
missed doing the newfs'ing .. maybe the device rescan reset something?

I'm not quite sure what happened, but on the second boot I visited the 
Options screen, Rescanned devices and selected USB Media first thing;
then the install went smoothly from there.

What I'd really like to see is a working recipe for making a bootable 
USB stick, 4GB or more, that sysinstall could use but with the full 
contents of the release DVD on it.  Preferably on a _sliced_ da0 so we
could install say 8.1 or 7.3, and/or i386 or amd64 ..

  HTH,
  
  Brian

cheers, Ian

[PS Randi: sorry, I meant to test and report on this when RC1 arrived, 
but my T23's charging circuit blew up (smelly smoke) and I've only just 
bought two more on ebay, one working well, so I'll help/test if I can]

USB Hard Drive Dock

I just purchased a setup which will allow me to access IDE and/or SATA drives 
through a USB port. Of course I was hoping for it to work with FreeBSD and in 
spite of the reviews which said it needed no Windows drivers as soon as I 
opened it up there was a CD with the drivers for Windows on it.
 
When I hook this thing up to my FreeBSD server it shows up like this:

So apparently the FreeBSD server senses when this thing is connected but it 
cannot see the drive connected to it. BTW - The FreeBSD server only reports 
anything when I power up the drive on the device. So again I see there might be 
hope to access it.
 
Of course I cannot mount anything as /dev/da0s1...etc are not there, only 
/dev/da0. The drive I'm attempting to mount was the main drive in another 
FreeBSD server I had working. The drive is ok and I can mount it using other 
methods. But this hot-swap USB method has some advantaged I'd like to use.

uses DNS SRV records to locate services and populate variables. The naming 
scheme is fairly convoluted and Windows centric.

On a Windows box use network monitor to capture what the box is trying to 
do. If you see it doing a lot of look ups for SRV records and failing it 
might be something to investigate. The network monitor version that ships 
with the desktop will only grab traffic for that particular machine, but is 
enough for the purpose. The version that comes with the server is able to 
promiscuously examine all traffic.

Upgrading Boot Loader

Hi,

I want to update my boot loader based on upgrading to FreeBSD 8.1.  I 
originally installed FreeBSD 8.0 using the zfsinstall utility available at 
http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ and so my tank zpool is currently using version 13, 
whereas my other non-boot zpool is using version 14.  After upgrading (via make 
buildworld buildkernel installkernel installworld) to FreeBSD 8.1, running 
zpool status tells me:

The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be 
used, but some features are unavailable. Upgrade the pool using 'zpool 
upgrade'.  Once this is done, the pool will no longer be accessible on older 
software versions.

I vaguely remember reading that the zfsboot and/or zfsloader need to be updated 
properly before you upgrade your root zfs pool or the loader won't be able to 
boot from that partition.

So, my question is: how do I update the zfsboot and/or zfsloader to the new 
version?  I've read that bsdlabel can install new boot code, but I'm not sure 
which one of those files (or both) need to be used.  My best guess is that I 
need to run:

bsdlabel -B -b /boot/zfsboot

Is that correct?  Is there anything else I should do?  What's the proper way to 
roll back in the event that the system becomes unbootable?

Sorry to ask, but you mention that the new TeXLive 2010 will be

I am also hoping that if use either the pretest one, or the official
release, that *it*(The install procedure) also setup the paths,
otherwise one has to do this manually :(

I have an install CD for TeXLive 2009 and it does not have the needed
binaries, and I know I can find them in one of your sites, but the
process still looks intimidating :(

BTW,
it would be a blessing, if some kind soul out there, builds packages
(texlive-20XY-amd64.tbz or texlive-20XY-i386) that does everything
automagically :), but I know that is asking for too much :(

The ports system by Romain Tartarian looked nice, but it is *not an
official* port and if one takes the ports method, the teteX 3.0 gets
installed (it is not bad, but quite old :( and no updates to fix
security issues )  The binaries that you provide one still has to do a
great deal of work, if one could script it?  unless of course waiting
for TeXLive 2010 does all of this for us(including setting the path
set path=/usr/local/texlive20XY/bin
automagically :)

I don't know what to do, since Roland, yourself and Anh provided nice
responses.  I originally had FreeBSD 6.X on one of my machines with
TeTeX , kile, and it was working beautifully but then a hard drive
failure put me out of business :(

I guess I should be patient, I see that time is ticking and with
patience one can get more things done.

Regards,

Antonio

 Don't want to add insult to injury or offend anyone, I just want to
 see how installing texlive on FreeBSD can be made easier?

 TeX Live 2010 will support FreeBSD (i386 and amd64). It will work out
 of the box for FreeBSD 7 and 8. The TL development tree is frozen now
 and the release will be out during summer.

 If you can't wait, you can use TeX Live 2010 pretest, it's pretty stable
 and most likely identical to the release:

   http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html

 If you need binaries for FreeBSD=6, please visit these pages:

   http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/TeXLive-Devel/bin-r19416/

 (r19416 is TL2010 build).

 A reply to all people that wrote about how big TL is: TeX Live is a
 _distribution_, not a single piece of software. It has its own package
 manager, tlpkg. You can use it to remove anything you don't need after
 install. The TL installer supports installing various schemes. If you
 need a minimal TeX, you can choose scheme minimal, it's actually much
 smaller than teTeX.

 Please read TL Guide, it's very useful and can answer all your
 questions:

   http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/

Re: Upgrading Boot Loader

02.08.2010 21:49, Tim Gustafson написав(ла):

Hi,

I want to update my boot loader based on upgrading to FreeBSD 8.1. I originally installed FreeBSD 8.0 using
the zfsinstall utility available at http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/ and so my tank zpool is
currently using version 13, whereas my other non-boot zpool is using version 14. After upgrading (via make
buildworld buildkernel installkernel installworld) to FreeBSD 8.1, running zpool status tells me:

The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be
used, but some features are unavailable. Upgrade the pool using 'zpool
upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool will no longer be accessible on older
software versions.

I vaguely remember reading that the zfsboot and/or zfsloader need to be updated
properly before you upgrade your root zfs pool or the loader won't be able to
boot from that partition.

So, my question is: how do I update the zfsboot and/or zfsloader to the new
version? I've read that bsdlabel can install new boot code, but I'm not sure
which one of those files (or both) need to be used. My best guess is that I
need to run:

bsdlabel -B -b /boot/zfsboot

Is that correct? Is there anything else I should do? What's the proper way to
roll back in the event that the system becomes unbootable?

Nope. Read
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-sta...@freebsd.org/msg103917.html

You need the dd sequence. And you need to do that on exported pool.

So, just to be clear, I need to boot off a USB key (which will then allow me to 
write to ad8 and ad10, my two boot zpool devices), and then:

dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad8 bs=512 count=1
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad10 bs=512 count=1
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad8 bs=512 skip=1 seek=1024
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad10 bs=512 skip=1 seek=1024

And that assumes that I copy the newly-compiled zfsboot to the USB key after 
creating it, correct?

Yes.

PS: I've just recently changed my mind and moved from dedicated vdevs to 
gpart. This gives possibility of:

 1. Having raw swap partition suitable for swapping/dumping.
 2. Updating bootcode online without loosing uptime.

Just in expense of some kilobytes of disk space.

 Sorry to ask, but you mention that the new TeXLive 2010 will be

TeX Live and FreeBSD share the same principle: a release will be out
when it is ready. No deadlines:

  http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010-July/026779.html

TL2010 pretest is currently at the stage of final testings.

 I am also hoping that if use either the pretest one, or the official
 release, that *it*(The install procedure) also setup the paths,
 otherwise one has to do this manually :(
 [...]

Ok, so you would like an installation procedure without need to change
PATH and other env vars and without installing binaries manually? The
following comes to mind (unfortunately, you must deinstall all traces
of teTeX from FreeBSD ports first, but I think you can easily maintain a
teTeX-free installation):

(1) download TL2010 pretest tree:
rsync -a --delete --exclude=mactex* 
rsync://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/local/tlpretest .
(don't forget the final dot)

(2) run
./install-tl -gui
(you'll need x11-toolkits/p5-Tk for GUI)

(3) find the last option, Create symlinks in system
directories (which is no by default) and click Change; in the
small window, check create symlinks in standard directories.

(4) Click Install TeX Live.

That's all. You'll have FreeBSD binaries; no need to change PATH since
all TL binaries, manpages, etc. will be linked from /usr/local/bin/ etc.

Hope this helps,

ZFS boot with two disks

2010-08-02 Thread Joshua Isom

I'm wanting to set up a simple home file server and basic dev box with 
FreeBSD.  I have two 500GB disks that I want to put in it, one of which 
is empty after cleaning up.  I hope to use gpt and zfs for the disks, 
but I'm unsure about some parts.  A lot of the stuff referring to 
booting doesn't mention concating disks(I'll take my risks) for root.  
I do want the second disk bootable as a fixit disk.


For a fixit disk, is it better to use UFS or use ZFS for consistency?  
If I use two pools, one for booting and the other for data, how much of 
the system needs to be on the booting pool?  I'm hoping to set up the 
disks before putting into the new computer, so will adding the second 
disk's space to the pool cause any problems?  Everything I've looked at 
talks about single disk booting or using a raid just for data storage, 
so this seems to be a lesser used approach.


And finally, would it just be better to stick with tried and true UFS 
with the MBR or are the benefits good enough?

8.1 jail - traceroute not working (allow_raw_sockets: 1)

2010-08-02 Thread claudiu vasadi

Hello fellas,

my system is a 8.0 release with 1 jail.

I have set security.jail.allow_raw_sockets: 1 and I can do ping but
traceroute is still spitting our errors:


dns# traceroute yahoo.com
traceroute: Warning: yahoo.com has multiple addresses; using 72.30.2.43
traceroute: findsaddr: write: No such process



Apparently, it looks up the IP but then it fails to continue. I was reading
there was (or maybe there still is) some bug. I believe it is still active
on 7.1 (
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2009-October/036866.html )


any thoughts ?

Then you have no need in zfsboot, you shoud use gptzfsboot instead.

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad8
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad10

This will install Protective MBR to first disk sector and bootcode to 
first partition. You can backup them just-in-case or update one disk and 
try to boot from it leaving second as the known to work solution.

cups library involved. I have WITHOUT_CUPS=YES in make.conf.

I checked the installed ports and saw that cups-client was installed. I
removed it and was able to print.


That works!  It does leave a long list of ports that are convinced they 
need cups-client to work, but that's probably something that needs to be 
fixed by rebuilding them without CUPS anyway.


Thanks!

How to confirm/deny ntp is working?

2010-08-02 Thread Ed Flecko

Hi folks,
I've read several different sources on setting up ntp on FreeBSD (I'm
using 8.1), and they seem to vary a little, so I'm confused about how
DO you set this up, and how do you confirm/deny that it's working?

I've modified my /etc/ntp.conf file by commenting out:

#server 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
#server 1.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
#server 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
#server 3.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9

and changing them to read (I'm in the U.S.):

 server 0.US.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
 server 1.US.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
 server 2.US.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9

I have confirmed that I can ping these servers.

I've added ntpd_enable=YES and ntpd_sync_on_start=YES to
/etc/rc.conf and rebooted the server.

1.) Do I need to manually create the driftfile (/var/db/ntpd.drift)?

2.) Do I need to manually create the logfile (/var/log/ntp.log)?

3.) How do you confirm that FreeeBSD is, in fact, keeping time?

Thank you,
Ed

The problem seems to manifest itself when not using CUPS (using lpd).
Somewhere during one of the latest portmaster -r foo upgrades
cups-client was installed. As Warren said, there are ports that need to
be updated without cups.

Take a look at the Windows driver, especially the .INF files that come with

It may also help to add the ID of this particular chip to the list in the

 So apparently the FreeBSD server senses when this thing is connected but it
 cannot see the drive connected to it. BTW - The FreeBSD server only reports

With multi-card readers it sometimes helps to touch(1) the device node. Have
you tried that?

Run ntpq, then type peers at the prompt.

You should see some peers listed.  If ntp's been running for a while, one
of them should have an asterisk next to it (this is the one with which the
system is currently synchronizing) and the offset column should show a
fairly small number, usually within +/- 100 ms.  For example, here's the

Uh, why.  Looks like the Right Thing is already in there:

server 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 1.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
server 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9
#server 3.freebsd.pool.ntp.org iburst maxpoll 9

This conforms with:

  http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html

specifically:

Get your vendor zone

To allow you to use the pool as the default time service in your
application, we will set you up with special hostnames, for example
1.vendor.pool.ntp.org, 2.vendor.pool.ntp.org and 3.vendor.pool.ntp.org.

You must absolutely not use the default pool.ntp.org zone names as the
default configuration in your application or appliance.

You can apply for a vendor zone here on the site.

So the problem is that the original poster changed it *away* from the
freebsd subdomains to the *us* subdomains.  This is neither necessary
nor advised.  That's what I was complaining about.

 Subject: Re: USB Hard Drive Dock

 Bill,

 I am not sure I follow what you're saying? FreeBSD will not discover a hard 
 drive like this on a hot swap (just connecting the drive to the bridge 
 while plugged in via USB -- in fact that could kill your USB bridge if you 
 don't do it right - a risk in ANY hot swap attempt).

 If you disconnect the USB, then connect a drive, then reconnect the USB does 
 it find your drive?

 If so, that's your route. I don't know if *anyone* on this list would 
 recommend you do a traditional hot swap like what you've described. Unless 
 the case if you have a lot of money to spend on replacing PCI USB bridges or 
 motherboards.

 So apparently the FreeBSD server senses when this thing is connected but it 
 cannot see the drive connected to it. BTW - The FreeBSD server only reports 
 anything when I power up the drive on the device. So again I see there might 
 be hope to access it.

 Of course I cannot mount anything as /dev/da0s1...etc are not there, only 
 /dev/da0. The drive I'm attempting to mount was the main drive in another 
 FreeBSD server I had working. The drive is ok and I can mount it using other 
 methods. But this hot-swap USB method has some advantaged I'd like to use.

Re: Setting Debug flag in /etc/make.conf

2010-08-02 Thread Anonymous

Robert Bonomi bon...@mail.r-bonomi.com writes:

 I have been having problems with several different programs lately.
 Would there be any serious drawback to simply setting: WITH_DEBUG= 
 in the /etc/make.conf file to force everything I build/rebuild to be
 built with debug symbols? I am assuming that I can simply place that
 flag in the make.conf file. Do I have to also give it a value; i.e =1
 or =yes also?


 What's wrong with the traditional way of doing this -- i.e.,  setting the 
 environment variable CFLAGS to  -g   befoe your start make-inthings?

Because you need to define empty STRIP, too. OTOH, setting WITH_DEBUG or
DEBUG_FLAGS does this for you.

Re: TEKEN_UTF8 TEKEN_XTERM

 Just wondering if anyone else has played with this?

 I compiled it into the kernel but the terms are still cons25.

I think you need to change `cons25' to `xterm' in /etc/ttys, too.

Re: how to find my memory size?

2010-08-02 Thread Antonio Olivares

 hi,all:

This would depend on what you want to find out, the total memory, the
amount available to the system and what is allocated for the user?

 And what's the meaning of these three variable?

 hw.physmem: 2138476544

The physical memory available to the system after removing sharing
like a video card taking up some memory.

 hw.usermem: 1886236672

The memory available/allocated for the user(yourself)

 hw.realmem: 2147430400

The total amount of memory (not including sharing, like video card)


Hope this helps.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but that is the way I interpret the results :)

Regards,

Antonio

Nope.


3.) How do you confirm that FreeeBSD is, in fact, keeping time?


pgrep ntp
ntpq -p

Shouoldn't it be YES and  so that it do not overwrite your present file?

echo daily_status_ntpd_enable=YES  /etc/periodic.conf
