Re: Gnome green screen of death

The X11 and Gnome packages were taken from the d.v.d.-r.o.m. that contained the operating system. The computer is an H.P. Z220 with an Intel Xeon quad-core processor. I do not want Gnome to start automatically on bootup. I wish to call it from the command line on the local console. When I have finished working with Gnome, I expect the operating system to return me to console session from which Gnome was called. I have started Gnome with the command exec gdm-session. I do not know if the exec keyword is necessary, but it worked. When I am finished working with Gnome, I click on the logoff (or logout?) button. The screen turns solid green with none of icons, characters, image, or splash. The computer does not respond to the keyboard. When I cut the power to the computer, and then reboot, I receive a sequence of messages complaining that ada0s3a, ada0s3d, and so on, are corrupt, and that I must run fdsk. What am I doing wrong here? The following error messages, which are shown only partially because they flash quickly on the screen, appear before Gnome starts: There's a number of things: -- you seem to be logging into your X environment as root. This is not a particularly good idea. Much better to create yourself a normal user account for that, and use su(1) or sudo(1) to take rootly powers as required. -- You don't say what sort of graphics card the system has. If you look at /var/log/Xorg.log.0 (or something similar to that) it will have that information amongst a lot of other stuff. The nature of the graphics card is important, because some models don't switch back to console mode from graphics mode very well. It's a known bug, and unfortunately if you have one of those models the best advice at the moment is to run a display manager (xdm, kdm, slim) and always use a graphical login. -- The use of 'exec' in ~/.startx is correct, but not if you're typing that from the shell command prompt. What exec does is *replace* the current process with the one you called. That's fine if you're replacing the (very small) shell script that is ~/.startx, but not if you're replacing your login shell. The recommended way to start X from the command line is to set up a ~/.startx script (which could contain just your 'exec gdm-session' command, or quite a bit more. Then type startx to (like it says on the tin...) start X. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Joystick for FreeBSD/Flightgear
Hello, I'm curious which of the currently available joysticks are supposed to work with FreeBSD. I'd like to use it for playing games/flightgear. There was some discussion[1] which looks like joysticks should work in general, and I guess there are some models supported better than others. Can anyone give a recommendation what to buy to be confident it works?

Is it possible to suspend to disk with geli+Root on ZFS installation
Hi all, Is it possible to suspend to disk (hibernate) when using geli for full disk encryption. My set-up is listed below. So I am going to have an encrypted container and ZFS on top. There are two options for the swap with this set-up, either use a swap file on the ZFS pool or use a separate partition for swap and encrypt that. What I want to know is will either of this work with suspend to disk. Reading geli(8) http://man.freebsd.org/geli/8 man page does not say anything about suspending to disk. Geli itself has suspend and resume commands but looks like they cannot be used on the file system where geliutility is stored (so the root pool cannot be suspended?) And the onetime option does not support geli suspend. Thank you. Yudi PS. I haven't received any response to the email below, if someone would still like to answer some of the questions at the end, that would be wonderful. -- Forwarded message -- From: yudi v yudi@gmail.com Date: Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 7:09 PM Subject: geli+Root on ZFS installation To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Hi, I managed to install with geli+root on ZFS setup but have a few questions. Most of the instructions just list commands but offer very little explanation. I adapted the instructions in https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE to suit my needs. Here's the process I used for the test on a VM: 2 GB RAM two HDDs 8 GB each mirrored - three partitions for boot code 128 KB for /boot 2 GB for the rest of the system and encrypted no key file for encrypted partitions, only passphrase using 9.1-RELEASE there will be no swap or handling of 4k drives, just to keep it as simple as possible. *Create the basic three partitions:* gpart destroy -F da0 gpart destroy -F da1 gpart create -s gpt da0 gpart create -s gpt da1 gpart add -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da0 gpart add -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da1 gpart add -s 2G -t freebsd-zfs da0 gpart add -s 2G -t freebsd-zfs da1 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs da0 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs da1 *Write boot code to both disks:* gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da1 *Load necessary modules:* kldload zfs kldload geom_eli * Encrypt the disks with only a passphrase:* geli init -b -s 4096 /dev/da0p3 geli init -b -s 4096 /dev/da1p3 geli attach /dev/da0p3 geli attach /dev/da1p3 *Creating ZFS datasets:* zpool create bootdir mirror /dev/da0p2 /dev/da1p2 zpool set bootfs=bootdir bootdir zpool create -R /mnt -O canmount=off tank mirror /dev/da0p3.eli /dev/da1p3.eli zfs create -o mountpoint=/tank/ROOT zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/bootdirbootdir zfs mount bootdir *Then exit out of the shell and go back to bsdinstall.

One of the reasons is to user boot environments, what are the other possible reasons for doing this? *2*. Is it necessary to create a symbolic link to the /boot dir? Again one of the howtos on the web had this step ( https://www.dan.me.uk/blog/2012/05/06/full-disk-encryption-with-zfs-root-for-freebsd-9-x/ ). ln -fs bootdir/boot *3*. This below option is where I had most trouble. This definitely needs to be present when using geli+ZFS, if it's only ZFS, then I think the bootfs flag suffices. Can someone with more knowledge of this please shed some light on when this entry is needed. vfs.root.mountfrom=”zfs:tank/ROOT” *4.* In the wiki link above, what is the purpose of: # zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot/ROOT # zfs set mountpoint=/zroot zroot I cannot understand the logic behind the second command. Does that mean zroot will display under / (root of the filesystem)? and Why? looking at the rest of the commands: # zfs set mountpoint=/tmp zroot/tmp # zfs set mountpoint=/usr zroot/usr # zfs set mountpoint=/var zroot/var so if ROOT is set to / then tmp, usr and var all appear under ROOT, is that right? *5.* There seems to be lot of variation on how the system directories are mounted under ZFS.

tcpdump behavior with netgraph
I am trying to troubleshoot my netgraph setup. I have a custom node connected to ng_ether's orphan and upper hooks. This node inserts a special ethernet tag into certain UDP broadcast packets going out and strip it coming back in. With tcpdump I see two entries for each packet sent, one without the special ethernet tag and one with it. 1. Is it correct that tcpdump sees the packet twice, and why? According to the following diagram it does not make sense that tcpdump should see it twice: http://people.freebsd.org/~julian/layer2-current.pdf If the system has been running a while some of the UDP broadcast packets are not sent and I only see (with tcpdump) the packet without the special ethernet tag. 2. Is this an indication that the packet gets lost in the netgraph chain? Last question: 3. How can I better/debug troubleshoot what is going on in whole netgraphsubsystem, not just mode netgraph node that I inserted in the chain. Thanks PS.

General questions regarding FreeBSD 10
General questions regarding FreeBSD 10: 1. Did virtualization containers (VPS) make it into FreeBSD 10? The documentation I’ve read implies that you can have nested containers, with little to no performance penalty, is this correct? How is networking handled inside these containers? 2. I'm assuming jails still exist in FreeBSD (I haven’t used BSD in a long time), how do they relate, or fit in, with VPS and Bhyve offerings? Is Xen Dom0 or KVM available on FreeBSD? 3. Can Bhyve be used with processors that don't support Extended Page Tables? For example, Xeon 5400 series processors? 4. How well does FreeBSD 10 run as a VMware vsphere , KVM, and/or Xen guest? 5: For Jails, VPS, and Bhyve, what is the footprint (i.e. memory overhead) for each implementation? 6. How stable is FreeBSD's ZFS implementation, relative to Solaris? What zpool version is in FreeBSD 10? Is LZ4 the default compression mode? 7. Is Clang and the build system setup to automatically target cpu instruction set? i.e. cc -target-cpu corei7-avx? Any performance improvements of targeted binaries? 8. Has ports management gotten any better, specifically upgrading ports? Can applications be self contained, like on the Mac, yet? Any work on rollback with ZFS? 9. I recall device support being a large hurtle for me in the past. How far behind is driver development relative to Linux, for server equipment? Has there been any community interest in porting FreeBSD (world) to Linux (kernel)? 10. How is the Java ecosystem on FreeBSD? Is LLVM specific to applications? I make the assumption that the VM in LLVM is referring to something like a JVM, for code abstraction. I haven’t used FreeBSD in ages. However, VPS, with ZFS, has me really excited; I don’t enjoy Solaris, and Enterprise Linux is still stuck in 2009, with kernel 2.6.32. I can’t find any modern linux distributions that are as reliable as I remember FreeBSD was. It’s really sad.

The documentation I’ve read implies that you can have nested containers, with little to no performance penalty, is this correct? How is networking handled inside these containers? I don't think they made it into 10. I think they are still in the projects/ tree... Last 2 posts on the topic that I've seen (Sep. 23, 2013): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2013-September/043429.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2013-September/043442.html 2. I'm assuming jails still exist in FreeBSD (I haven’t used BSD in a long time), how do they relate, or fit in, with VPS and Bhyve offerings? Yes. Changed slightly -- you configure jails in /etc/jail.conf now. Jails are enhanced by VPS and Bhyve offerings (which, the best of my knowledge, require jails). [skipping questions I can't answer] 6. How stable is FreeBSD's ZFS implementation, relative to Solaris? What zpool version is in FreeBSD 10? Is LZ4 the default compression mode? At $work we're actively deploying ZFS into production. It's very stable from our testing over several years. Mileage seems to depend on configuration complexity, but overall is extremely stable. The default zpool version is 28, but if you do a zpool upgrade ... you'll then jump to the new 5000 version introduces zfs feature flags. 8. Has ports management gotten any better, specifically upgrading ports? Can applications be self contained, like on the Mac, yet? Any work on rollback with ZFS? For better ports management, you could look into poudriere. There's a tutorial on bsdnow.tv The idea is that you'll use poudriere to intelligently manage the ports you want to roll binary packages. Then on 10 with the new `pkg' framework (formerly known as PkgNg) those binary packages are intelligently applied. As for self-contained packages... I believe you want what is known as PBIs. However, I think only PC-BSD offers PBIs -- I don't think they are offered in FreeBSD 10 by default (maybe there's a way though). I assume what you mean by rollback with ZFS is... boot loader integration with BEs so you can boot to a previous snapshot. Look for that in 10.1. 9. I recall device support being a large hurtle for me in the past. How far behind is driver development relative to Linux, for server equipment? Has there been any community interest in porting FreeBSD (world) to Linux (kernel)? Driver support is improving. There's AMD KMS and many more new drivers. Knowing what kind of hardware you use would help answer the question better. We've been very happy with LSI MegaRAID/SAS support, Broadcom 10G iSCSI support, QLogic 8G FC support, and many many more. As for FreeBSD-world with Linux-kernel... that sounds like the exact opposite of the Debian kFreeBSD project (FreeBSD-kernel, Linux-world). I don't suppose there's much demand in that. People that want such a thing seem to be quite happy with ArchLinux -- which uses a BSD-style init framework. There's also ArchBSD and ArchHurd. 10. How is the Java ecosystem on FreeBSD? Well, daiblo-jdk is dead, long live OpenJDK? Seems to be the motions around here at $work. I haven’t used FreeBSD in ages. However, VPS, with ZFS, has me really excited; Even more exciting, throw in VIMAGE, Geom Multipath, NETGRAPH, and sysutils/zxfer. The possibilities are limitless as you bolt on more-and-more ^_^ I don’t enjoy Solaris, and Enterprise Linux is still stuck in 2009, with kernel 2.6.32.

How to ask a DNS resolver listening on a different port than the tcp/udp 53
Hello, I wondering how i can send queries to a dns resolver listening on a different port than the normaly 53 tcp/udp ? The situation: I've got a vps who running NSD as a autoritative nameserver, listening on tcp/udp 53 and unbound as personnal resolver, listening on a different tcp/udp port. It work very well on his own or with my OpenBSD gateway at home as DNS cache. Recently i've got a new FreeBSD VPS and I want to use the first VPS as DNS nameserver for the second VPS but FreeBSD is unable to send queries to nameserver on a different port as the normal one (tcp/udp 53). I've got a bad solution, use unbound on the second VPS and maybe tell him to ask the 1rst VPS on the unusual tcp/udp port, but I wonder myself if is it possible with Packet Filter to change the destination port of the queries forwarded to my 1rst VPS from tcp/udp 53 to tcp/udp 5353 for exemple ?

Far better to have the authoritative server listen on 127.53.0.1 and use the routable address for the cache, which can forward requests for the authoritative server when appropriate. - M ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
