If you have additions to this please post a followup to this thread, keeping the Cc: (I'm not on -questions...) 1. You need RELENG_7 from at least Mon Oct 20 11:15:57 2008 UTC (the relevant MFC commits are: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=183819 http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=184075 - a recent HEAD should also work of course.) There are linprocfs patches for RELENG_6 too (merging the former commit), but the latter commit can't be merged to 6 (and 7.0) since they lack the cpuset bits, so flash9 probably won't work on SMP there. (Although if you have SMP you probably should be running 7 anyway. :) Oh and if you do have SMP you also need to use the ULE scheduler, the cpuset syscalls are not supported with 4BSD. linprocfs patches for 6: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.3.patchhttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Enox/linprocfs-6.3.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.4.patchhttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Enox/linprocfs-6.4.patch 2. Your portstree needs to be from at least Sun Oct 19 17:37:28 2008 UTC (the last www/linux-flashplugin9 commit is: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2008-October/158404.html ) 3. Make sure linprocfs is mounted to /compat/linux/proc . 4. Make sure www/nspluginwrapper, www/linux-flashplugin9 and dependencies are installed and up to date(!). (the default emulators/linux_base-fc4 should work, if you want to use a later one don't forget to set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in sysctl.conf and OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT to whichever version you use in make.conf. Note however that on 6, only the default compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 really works.) 5. If the plugin doesnt show up in firefox' about:plugins, run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and restart firefox. 6. And remember there's a security advisory for the current version of flash9, http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/78f456fd-9c87-11dd-a55e-00163e00 0016.html (if you use portaudit you need to `make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES ...' to be able to install the port), and fc4 seems to be eol'd too, so you probably want to install something like the noscript firefox extension, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 and only allow plugins (and scripts, tho thats a different problem) on sites you trust... And finally, if you still get crashes after following the above even on pages that are reported to work now (like youtube) you probably want to run `ktrace -di firefox...' and look at the output using linux_kdump (thats the devel/linux_kdump port, you want to use a package), paying specific attention to the lines above `PSIG SIGSEGV' (or whichever signal you got), maybe there are still shlibs missing that the plugin needs (NAMI ...something.so...), and if this is the case tell us about it so the appropriate dependencies can be added to the relevant ports. If you can't figure it out I guess it doesn't hurt to post the last few 100 lines of the dump up to the relevant PSIG on -emulation... You may also want to check linked shlibs like this: /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin (if you see `not found' in there you know something is wrong) - although that doesn't show libs that may be dlopen()d at runtime.

The only additional thing I had to do was copy /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for Firefox to recognize the plugin. Yeah I forgot to note that you want to run nspluginwrapper -i as the user that will run the native browser, not as root, then the wrapper will go into ~/.mozilla/plugins/... After that Youtube, google video, and google maps (incl. street view) work fine, but slow.

I've been out of the bsd loop for a bit, i'm trying to setup nagios which is fine There are a couple of settings that I either don't remember or never remembered and forgot that I never knew it. Ok so nagios is asking me for an rc.d path, which if i recall FBSD doesn't use it is a linux script path for starting services at different run levels. So does FBSD emulate it for certain packages cause Nagios finds it at /usr/local/etc/rc.d but the only thing i have in it is webmin.sh which is for my webmin interface (although I must confess I'm not sure why it is there or what it is doing).

I had changed the standard-supfile like that had RELENG_7_0 to RELENG_7_1 and ran cvsup. I followed the handbook for cleaning out the /usr/src/obj directory, rebuilt the world and kernel via: # cd /usr/src# make buildworld# make buildkernel KERNCONF=PAE# make installkernel KERNCONF=PAE then I rebooted into single user mode and performed the: # mount -a -t ufs# mergemaster -p# cd /usr/src# make installworld# mergemaster When I did the mergemaster, I kept my master.password, hosts, passwd, rc.conf, and make.conf. But for the most part, I 'i' installed the new files. Since then, we have had severe server instability after a few hours. The server completely locks up requiring a hard boot, then the fsck_ufs runs for a while. This is our production mail server, and we've been down off and on for 2 days. I'm in the process of building a replacement and getting back online with 7.0 and a GENERIC kernel, but what on Earth could have gone on? Did I do something wrong with using a PAE kernel on 7.1?

Read the system logs, basically. /var/log/messages or /var/log/all.log (if you've enabled it). The shutdown(8) command will always write syslog messages when invoked. halt(8) or reboot(8) will write a 'shutdown' record into wtmp (ie. look at 'last shutdown') but don't log anything to syslog. However, you're quite likely to find that there is nothing in the log or wtmp files to explain what happened. All this means is that the system went down suddenly -- perhaps power dropped out momentarily, or a thermal cutout tripped or the system panic'd for one of any number of reasons. You'ld be able to detect log file traces showing fsck(8) being run on the root f/s following any of those sort of unclean shutdowns, and if the system panic'd then you may well have a core dump sitting in /var/db/crash -- depends whether you've enabled that functionality or not.

Re: Freebsd-update with a custom kernel and jails

Where this gets more complicated is that I need a custom kernel (for ULE, pf and ALTQ while also disabling some devices I'll never need) and I want to use jails to isolate every services (Apache and MySQL by now). So, I read at some places that you can't use freebsd-update with a custom kernel, but I'm not sure if this apply only in the case of an upgrade between release or if I'll need to manually recompile the kernel with every use of freebsd-update. I also read that it's possible to update the jails from the host system with the -b flag. In this case, I supposed that I need to update the host system before the jail, but is the procedure going to be exactly the same? yes all you need to do is freebsd-update fetch install your kernel won't be updated but your userland will ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
