buildworld breaks at xinstall (9.2)
When I svnup and make buildworld, I get a failure at xinstall.

cron pile up! libnss-mysql and cron (Rehash)
4.5 years ago, I posted about cron's piling up. It seems if I install libnss-mysql on a fresh 9.0-STABLE, this problem persists.

Re: Question about forcing fsck at boottime
manish jain wrote: Hi, I am migrating from Linux and am still learning the basics of FreeBSD. One thing that I would to carry over from my Linux days is to force an fsck on all filesystems at system startup. On Linux, this was simply a matter of editing /etc/rc.sysinit. Things seem a bit more complicated in the BSD world. Can somebody please point me in the right direction ? man fsck Traditionally, fsck is invoked before the file systems are mounted and all checks are done to completion at that time. If background checking is available, fsck is invoked twice. It is first invoked at the traditional time, before the file systems are mounted, with the -F flag to do check- ing on all the file systems that cannot do background checking. Also, you can set this in /etc/rc.conf fsck_y_enable=YES if you want to automatically run 'fsck -y' ... handy for remote servers. Oh, and if you use ZFS, there is no such thing as 'fsck'. That file system never needs fsck. :) If you want less fsck headaches on a big disk system, make the large partion (/home ?)

DOn't forget, Edit your /boot/loader.conf to allow your MySQL to grow up to about 8GB (for starters). People forget this about as often as they forget to put INDEXES on their tables. Speaking of that! Turn on your slow_query_log... set it to 5 seconds and monitor the slow_query_log file. Are you going to replicate? If not, disable log-bin (you have skip-networking, so I assume you are not setting up a master/slave). Only reason to do log-bin is to fill your disk up with files you will never yse. Up query_cache_limit=8M (depends, may not matter for your site). (That is the max limit per query to cache...). Keep an eye on your cache fill rate and up those values if you need to. Keep an eye on your table_cache... table_cache=1024 may be fine, but if you have 4000 tables, that may need to be higher. Set your key_buffer higher (depending on your site) --- several 100GB. Connections can *probably* be lower... the only reason to have a real hig number for connections is to get your machine to swap. :p Oh, check out the my-huge.cnf file that comes with MySQL... I think it is in /usr/local/share/mysql/ or somewhere good tips there. Good luck.

Why does portupgrade sometime fail?
I ran a portupgrade -r glib and I get this problem with some packages: === Installing for liboil-0.3.14 === liboil-0.3.14 depends on executable: pkg-config - found === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/liboil already installed === An older version of devel/liboil is already installed (liboil-0.3.12) You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/liboil without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. Why doesn't portupgrade just uninstall and upgrade 'liboil'? I manually went into devel/liboil and ran: make deinstall install Is there a portupgrade flag I am missing?

I hope not to sound biased but pf seems more user friendly, easier to implement, and less verbose? ipnat can handle 80+Mbps on a 2Ghz single core CPU. ipfw w/ natd will crumple around 10Mbps on the same box.

Oh, and I installed Fedora 7 instead of the default Fedora Core 4 on my desktop. Why does the linux emulation pick 2.4.2 as the kernel version number to report (by default) and not 2.6.11 (their kernel version shipped with Fedora 4)?

D 0:00.00 cron: running job (cron) 58384 ?? IVs0:00.00 cron: running job (cron) In general, when troubleshhoting, ps axlw is a more useful command. It adds among other columns, the MWCHAN one, which details exactly why a process is stuck in the D state. Anyway, cron does a fork and then a vfork creating a child and a grandchild process. I'm sort of surprised at the amount of code between vfork and exec in the grandchild in /src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/do_command.c . Since process 3 is actually using process 2's address space one must be extremely careful not to modify static variables or change other global state that would affect the parent once it resumes execution, and all the logging, environment-setting, and user-context calls are certain to mess with the parent's state, especially with nss modules in the mix. I'd personally recompile cron with all vforks replaced with fork and see what happens. It couldn't hurt to update to a newer kernel version along the RELENG_6 branch as a test, I guess. Note that your uname will change to 6.3-PRERELEASE, but apart from causing lsof to complain, you should be okay. /var/log/cron has this entry: Dec 3 20:16:00 pita /usr/sbin/cron[58384]: (root) CMD (/root/bin/raid-status.sh CRON) BUT there is no 'raid-status.sh' stuck in the ps axw. Seems like the vfork set off the cronjob, it ran, but then cron didn't 'stop' executing. Any debuggin tips? Can you tell if raid-status.sh ever ran? i.e. is process 2 stuck at the start of vfork or at the end. I added this line to the top of my cronjob: logger -t DEBUG $0: $$ and cron seems stuck BEFORE the script is ever run.

Here is an example that something is awry.. if I run # truss -o /tmp/truss xfce4-tips and click CLOSE immediately when the window is launched (it takes about 60 seconds) the truss file is large (76MB): # ls -s /tmp/truss 76128 /tmp/truss # grep -c '/usr/local/share/icons/gnome' /tmp/truss 531404 # find /usr/local/share/icons/gnome | wc -l 5597 # grep '^stat(//usr/local/share/icons/gnome/22x22/status/stock_volume-min.png' /tmp/truss | grep volume-min | wc -l 125 Things seem to go ape shit after this line in the truss output: open(/usr/local/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders,O_RDONLY,00) = 5 (0x5) So, here are the questions: why does gdk-pixbuf have to stat every icon 125 times for a total of 500,000+ stats just to launch one little window?

Doing the initial system installation, there should be an option at the very least to enable SMP. Installing a system, then having to rebuilt and and reinstall it again if counter productive. The market is moving toward multiple CPUs. The FBSD installation routine should embrace that reality and afford it the proper consideration that it deserves. hmm...didn't realize that not loading a SMP kernel by default would turn people away from running FreeBSD. building a kernel is much different from reinstalling a system though... OT, but - I know a fair amount of locations will have a custom kernel, and most large sites will script sysinstall to load a custom kernel as well. yet, for junior admins maybe a boot time option allow one to load a SMP kernel during the install phase (which would also be the kernel the system boot's from after installation) may be helpfull. There are currently options to disable ACPI (granted that's a .ko) but perhaps there is precedent to do this. anyway, sounds like a good PR :) -pete Interesting. I have a computer here that's a AMD 64 3700 and it's not dual core, but the board is capable of using a X2 processor, so loads a SMP kernel anyways. It seems to work just fine with the single core, single CPU. The thing is though is that it refers to the CPU as cpu0. Doing it this way just might be the future... Oh, and I didn't tell it to use the SMP kernel. Sysinstall did that itself. So based on this behavior, if the bios reports SMP capable (the bios shows CPU 0 during the post), then sysinstall loads a SMP kernel? I have to turn acpi off though otherwise I get dead lock up problems. -- Daniel Rudy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD + Asus V2-AH2 + SamSung SyncMaster 204bw
*** HOW-TO: FreeBSD + Asus V2-AH2 + SamSung SyncMaster 204bw *** Short answer: FreeBSD 6.2 i386 Phew, I spent a better part of the Thanksgiving weekend getting my new machine up and running. Hopefully, these notes will help out other people with Axux V2-AH2 barebones systems. Motherboard seems similar to the Asus: M2NPV-VM Graphics chip: Nvidia C51PV High Definition Audio chip: MCP51 Ethernet driver: nve I started with 6.1-amd64-release and found all kinds of problems: x ethernet was not working x nv driver in X windows would not do the native monitor resolution 1680x1050 x the nVidia X drivers don't work at all on amd64 x the audio would not work at all *** ETHERNET *** OK, so step one was putting in an old RealTek ethernet card so I could update the ethernet driver. Sure enough, 6.2-RC1 has the nve driver in it. *** VIDEO *** Next was the video driver. I tried updating X from 6.9 to 7.2 following these directions: http://wikitest.freebsd.org/ModularXorg Still, the 'nv' driver did not work as desired --- I couldn't get it to run 1680x1050 pixels on my SyncMaster monitor. I tried downloading the nVidia drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-8776.html but they only work on i386. I had to start over and reinstall i386 and forgo amd64. :( As far as I can tell, there is no way to run Mixed Mode kernel objects. You can run i386 binaries on an amd64 system, however, you can't load a i386 ko into a running amd64 kernel. The nvidia site states: If you are using FreeBSD 6.x, you will need to make sure that the 'compat5x' package is installed. Well, I have found you need more than that! You need the 5x /lib stuff as well. You have to copy the FreeBSD 5.x libraries from somewhere to run the nvidia-xconfig script. Here is what I did: rsync -av host-running-5.5:/lib/ /lib55 cd /lib ln -s /lib55/libm.so.3 . ln -s /lib55/libc.so.5 . After running nvidia-xconfig, X windows launches with the proper resolution. *** AUDIO *** The last step was getting the audio to work. The snd_hda driver is needed. The easiest way to do this, is to download the binary snd_hda module. get sndkld_releng6_i386_lowlatency.tar.gz from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/ You need to unpack that tarball and copy sound.ko and snd_hda.ko into /boot/kernel. Then run: kld_load snd_hda Oh, if you already have the old sound.ko loaded, unload it first. Here is more info on the snd_hda driver: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2006-September/004864.html More references: Asus site http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=1l2=1l3=0model=1159modelmenu=1 This page (and any updates) http://www.monkeybrains.net/~rudy/example/asus_V2-AH2.html - Rudy monkeybrains.net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: That Drive Geometry Bug
At about the time of 12/26/2005 5:45 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] stated the following: I am trying to back up the drive I have been using (which is now full) onto a 60GB Seagate IDE drive - ST360020A. After a bunch of failures at configuring the disk, I did some searching on the web and found some info on the drive geometry bug. I followed the directions I found there - essentially, go into my BIOS at boot time, write down the drive geometry that the BIOS thinks I have and then plug those numbers into FreeBSD fdisk at the beginning of installation. What happened: 1. FreeBSD complained that the drive geometry it was seeing was wrong, and was using its own best guess: 7297/255/63. 2. I hit G and edited the C/H/S to that which the BIOS reported: 28733/16/255. 3. I hit Enter; the installer said `Nope, you're wrong! I'm going to use my best guess instead!' No matter how many times I try to enter the info, it changes it back to whatever it thinks is more correct. I tried switching the head and sector info (trying 28733/255/16). but no joy. Is there a way to coax the installer into cooperating? Thanks - -- paz. I just recently ran into this problem myself. Just use FreeBSD's best guess and it will work fine.

Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please wrap your lines properly. Basically, it all depends on how much you spent for the modem. A $15-20 modem is more than likely a WinModem (software modem) which FreeBSD does *NOT* support without a third party driver. If the modem cost $70-100, and it is recongized as a serial port by the sio driver, then it probably will work. The reason why I threw the cost of the equipment into the mix was because the cheap modems don't have the controller, DSP, data pump, or other required hardware. All the functions of those components is emulated in the software of the host system. This is why that are known as software modems. A hardware modem costs much more, but it also has all the required hardware such as the controller, DSP, data pump, etc. so it can function independantly of the host system software. You can also generally tell by looking at the modem itself. Usually, if you see a chip that has what looks like version numbers on it, as well as one or more large square chips and lots of circutry, then you probably have a hardware modem. The best way is lookup the model number on the manufacturer's web site and see what it is. If it says it's only compatible with Windows, then more than likely it's a software modem. -- Daniel Rudy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Controlling init on shutdown/reboot
Somewhere around the time of 12/02/2003 00:12, the world stopped and listened as Rob contributed this to humanity: I haven't used ppp(8) - I prefer pppd(8) - so I'm not familiar with ppp.linkdown.sh. If this is a shell script, there's a couple of things that I've seen cause strange script behaviour: lack of default environment and lack of TTY. This usually shows up in scripts that work fine at the command line, but fail under other circumstances (such as crontabs). Does it take more than 2 minutes at the command line? Have you tried adding set -x at the start to see where it's failing? If it's called by rc.shutdown the output should be to the console, but I'm not sure what ppp(8) does with script output. The script is called by ppp on a link down event. That is a link down for ANY reason, including a shutdown. The problem is that ppp doesn't differentiate on why the link went down, just that it went down. Now, when rc.shutdown executes, it writes a stop file to /tmp that ppp.linkdown.sh checks for. If it finds that file, then I have it do something alittle different. Does it take long to execute? Nope, it runs quite fast, which may be part of the problem. Because this is called from ppp and not rc.shutdown, init is killing it before it finishes because init thinks that it is not part of the system shutdown sequence. -- Daniel Rudy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Finding your dynamic external IP
Somewhere around the time of 08/03/2003 15:13, the world stopped and
listened as David S. Jackson spoke these words of wisdom...:
If your external IP number changes, as with DHCP, is there a way
to find out what it currently is? I was thinking you could keep
BitchX logged into a chat channel and script a /dns yournick and
email yourself the results from time to time.
How would you do it?
If you know what interface you are running on, then you can do this to
get the IP address:
ifconfig interface | head -2 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'
to get the IP address. Then if you want to mail it to yourself, then
you can do the following:
/usr/bin/printf Current IP address: `ifconfig interface | head -2 |
tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'`\n | /usr/bin/mail -s IP Address
Assignment root
To update your Dynamic DNS, use the following:
ddclient -use=if -if=interface
This will run ddclient in daemon mode so that anytime the IP address
changes on interface it will update the DDNS provider's servers.
