  $ uname -s -m
  Linux i686
  $ cd netbsd-src
  $ ./build.sh -m sparc64 release
 
  develop and test 32 bits apps on 64 bit env
  cc -m 32
 
  does FreeBSD has those two features ?
 
 NetBSD needs a *very* minimal set of POSIX tools to build, e.g. you can
 get away with an sh(1) utility and a pretty basic make(1) tool.  They
 have really done a magnificent job at constructing a build system that
 can bootstrap itself from a tiny set of build tools.
 
 FreeBSD also has _some_ of the necessary build glue to do similar sort
 of stuff, but AFAIK we only support cross-building from one FreeBSD
 architecture to another FreeBSD architecture.  So you need to have at
 least *some* version of FreeBSD to build another.

How about these bench vs FreeBSD?!

 Subject: best firewall for a web server
 
 We will be running a web server -
 
 - FreeBSD 8.x
 - Apache 2.x
 - php 5.x
 - PostgreSQL 8.x
 - Postfix 2.x
 
 - The server will run nearly 98% of the time below 25% load (no high 
 performance 
 firewall is needed).
 - Access to the server will be done only via ssh w/ key (there will be no 
 public 
 ftp, etc.).
 
 I read several threads on FreeBSD Questions and checked the Handbook, and my 
 conclusion is that PF seems the most straightforward for such classic 
 situation.
 
 Am I right?
 
 Thanks,
 Iv

Right, PF is the way to GO! ;)

 If UDMA mode reported instead of SATA speed is the only issue, then it
 is not an issue, but only a cosmetic change. It doesn't mean that your
 drives will work slower.
 
 Thanks for report, I'll plug ICH7 board a bit later to check this.
 To get more info about the problem, try `atacontrol mode ad2` command.

FreeBSD 8.0 and MySQL 5.1.x

2010-01-01 Thread Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri
Hey there,

I was curious if it's the right time to move to MySQL 5.1.x instead MySQL 
5.0.x. with FreeBSD 8.x

Any bench marks with FreeBSD 8.x? Or shall we stick to MySQL 5.0.x for now?

 It work as mail server(Exim+Dovecot and so on).
 All latest version from ports.
 
 
 After start a production use - it is start to reboot 3-4 times a day with no

 We swap RAM - not helps.
 We swap chassis - not helps.
 I rebiuld all ports - not helps.
 (well i notice what it start to be more stable - 1 reboot in 1-2 days)
 
 In attach screens of error what i have to catch.
 
 
 Can someone say - what it can be or how to find what may cause this?

I think you should upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE at least, if not -STABLE.

Because there are many bugs were in 7.0 and got fixed in 7.1, and maybe you are

 Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
 and never get to the software part.

Here we go without -j flag for the kernel.

 FreeBSD:

 Best Regards.

I think there is small error with this port.

BB# vnstat -l

Is it made to be used for linux as default?

 Hi there
 
 I am going to make 2 Webserver at my work going to handle 50 mil hits per

 proposed FreeBSD to my Boss convincing him that FreeBSD is more Fast and
 Secure solution for his needs... And now I want to show the results...
 *Hardware:*
 Dell PowerEdge 2950 III having 2 x CPU 3,0 GHz Intel Xeon L5450 Quad-Core
 2x6MB cache WITH 16 GB RAM.
 
 *Tools:*
 1. FreeBSD 7 Production Release
 2. Apache 2.2.9
 3. MySQL 5.1.26


I would go with MySQL 5.0.x since 5.1.x has speed issues.

Hello Network Gurus,
 
I have Adobe Flex 2 application which hosts the flash applet on apache 2.2.8, 
then flash applet will connect to port 28001 but users who are behind firewalls 
and proxies which only allow connections to port 80.

So I need a daemon to work around this problem and allow these users to connect 
to my application.

  PS This php misfeature is so common that even though I've never run PHP
  in my life, it is burned into my brain that module ordering causes
  severe headaches.
 
  Hmmm...
  
  I've been thinking about methods to make sure the load order of PHP
  modules avoids this sort of problem.  Can you try the following and
  see if it helps?
  
 # cp /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini{,.bak}
 # cd /usr/local/lib/php/20060613
 # lorder *.so | tsort | tail -r | sed -e 's/^/extension=/' 
   /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini
  
  Oh, and yes, you do need the php5-spl module to be installed.

 Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules

This is PHP5 port issue.

Now I got it working by editing /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini by hand.

*sigh*

 I already tried that and it barfed on a cast in adavsys.c (forget what

I think you need to start from the scratch to use AMD64 arch.

How does NetBSD, and OpenBSD scale when it comes to SMP comparing to

   Probably the safest way:
   pkg_add -r gcc-4.2.2_20070905.tbz
  
   Then set CC and CXX in /etc/make.conf to point to the installed gcc
   in /usr/local. This should get you through the build-tools stage. If it
   creates issues later on, you should have a libgcc_* in /usr/obj. In fact, 
   I
   highly recommend pressing ctrl-c after gcc has been built and copy the
   missing library from /usr/obj to /usr/lib then unset CC and CXX
   in /etc/make.conf and re-run buildworld.
  
   I just looked on freebsd ftp servers, there's a package for amd64 arch and
   7-current dated Sep 15.

  Hello,
 
  I installed that.
 
  And it did the trick.
 
  I just don't want to take the risk now.
 
  I did these steps
 
  rm -r /usr/obj/*
  cd /usr/src
  make cleandir
  make cleanworld
  make -j7 buildworld
 
  I'm too worried, I may get broken world now.
 
  Shall I recopy libgcc_* from /obj again and rebuild the world again?
  since current libgcc_* is made by the gcc42 latest port.

 If you use gcc 4.2.2 to buildworld, it does a two stage build. It starts
 by building the base gcc (4.2.1) withe the default compiler and then
 builds it again using the just built compiler. You should be fine if you
 define CC as gcc422. It will only be used to build the gcc4.2.1
 compiler. Once that is done, the make system will use only the newly
 built version.

 If you have removed /usr/obj/*, you can speed the build with -DNO_CLEAN.
 (There is nothing to clean, but make will still try.) Since there is
 nothing to clean, making cleandir and cleanworld looks unnecessary,
 too.

 Unless you have a 6 core system, -j7 is probably excessive. Both my own
 tests and those of others show that having one more build thread than
 there are processors seems to be the sweet spot. (I don't recall if
 anyone has tested at over 6 cores, though.)

 I think I understand the build system, but I am far from a make(1) guru,
 so. if I misunderstand any of it, hopefully those who are will chime in
 with the right information.

 You will need to obtain another copy of this library.  Either you could
 download a 7.0 snapshot and extract it from that, or maybe just
 reinstall if that is more trouble than you want to deal with.

  Is there away to recover it now?

 portsclean should never touch anything out of /usr/local/and base gcc
 should not depend on anything in /usr/local. I'd suspect that setting an
 environmental variable such as PORTSDIR might cause this, but that seem
 unlikely to have happened without a serious intent.

 Is it possible that you are not running the base gcc? ('which gcc' and 'gcc
 -v') It should be in /usr/bin and the version for a recent current
 should be 4.2.1

  Could you please put it somewhere where so that I could fetch it?

 Probably the safest way:
 pkg_add -r gcc-4.2.2_20070905.tbz

 Then set CC and CXX in /etc/make.conf to point to the installed gcc
 in /usr/local. This should get you through the build-tools stage. If it
 creates issues later on, you should have a libgcc_* in /usr/obj. In fact, I
 highly recommend pressing ctrl-c after gcc has been built and copy the
 missing library from /usr/obj to /usr/lib then unset CC and CXX
 in /etc/make.conf and re-run buildworld.

 I just looked on freebsd ftp servers, there's a package for amd64 arch and
 7-current dated Sep 15.

 Mel

Hello,

I installed that.

And it did the trick.

I just don't want to take the risk now.

I did these steps

rm -r /usr/obj/*
cd /usr/src
make cleandir
make cleanworld
make -j7 buildworld

I'm too worried, I may get broken world now.

Shall I recopy libgcc_* from /obj again and rebuild the world again?
since current libgcc_* is made by the gcc42 latest port.

Any hints?

 So Which date you guess 7.0 will be released?  :D

 Tnx

FreeBSD 7.0 entered frozen status, and it has been very stable with no
major bugs, you could use it safely, and enjoy the real BSD speed with
FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT now ;)

 I'm interested in changing over to FreeBSD from Windows, but I'll have
 to say, you guys don't really present a forceful argument to Windows

 that FreeBSD is a perfectly acceptable alternative for home desktop
 users who have previously known only Windows.

 For instance, if I download and install FreeBSD, will I instantly have a
 desktop windowing environment that I can navigate in while I figure out
 what's going on?  Will I have a browser and way to setup an internet
 connection right off the bat?  How will I migrate files from other
 operating systems?

 I understand you guys have been around for a while, but you don't seem
 to understand the monumental fear involved in switching operating
 systems.  You need to address those concerns head on from the start.  I
 need to see several screenshots of apps that I can use as alternatives
 to what I have.

 Help me (and yourselves) out.

 Seagate and WDC both ship SATA300 drives with a SATA150-limiting jumper

 chipsets out there which claim to support SATA300 but then break badly
 when utilising it.  This is why the jumper's set to SATA150 by default.

 Chances are your drives have the jumper limiting the drive to SATA150.

I have the same situation here, but not the same hardware:

This drive is withtout the jumper, which according to the manual means
it should operate as SATA300 (while with jumper plugged, it is limited
to SATA150). But it is only controlled as SATA150.

So, chances are my disc also have some problem?

Actually, many Unix systems ran with HZ=100 until a few years ago, about

  Is the difference in speed
  attributable to 4.11 being faster than 6.2?

 Close.  The difference in speed is due to the compiler in 4.11 being
 faster than the compiler in 6.2.  FreeBSD uses the gcc compiler, and
 between FreeBSD 4.11 and FreeBSD 6.2 that has been upgraded from 2.9
 to 3.4.  The general trend each time gcc is upgraded is that it takes
 2x longer to compile code, but produces code which is 5% faster (as a
 result of working harder to find optimizations).

 FreeBSD 6.2 is faster than FreeBSD 4.11 for almost everything except
 compiling itself. :-)

 What about all the following observations?

 slower network performance in 6.x especially worse under DDOS conditions.
 slower disk performance especially under QUOTA.

 both of these have been confirmed numerous times by different people
 so sweeping them under the carpet and saying they simply not true
 would be wrong.  My observation of 6.x is that whilst it can exceed
 4.11 performance this is only because of more more powerful hardware
 and in particular on SMP systems where 4.11 isnt optimised but for UP
 and most older hardware the worst performance of post 4.11 is
 highlighted greatly.

 In thoery shouldnt eg. a 6.2 system using a 3ghz core 2 duo be
 multiple times faster then a pentium 3 500 running freebsd 4.11 due to
 the more powerful hardware?

It will be of academic interest to me to see how people respond to this.

not even boot on this new motherboard for some reason.  Given that, and
that 4.x is no longer actively developed, I am forced to move to 6.x for

I run heavily MySQL 5.0.41 app on itm and it's way faster than running
it in 6.2-STABLE with C2D 6600 and 2 GB of ram.

My question is: if root user is locked to connect by ssh (I think it maybe
logic, but..)

If it is so, how can I make an user that has same priviliges as root (I

Hello,

You can create a user and add the user into the wheel in /etc/group

It's not recommended to ssh to the box using root, use su after you
log to the shell.

If you are insist to ssh as root which is disabled by default in
sshd_config, you can uncomment it, you are warned, do not allow SSH to
your box with user root at all.

 I agree. As much as I personally dislike flash, I have business
 clients who would be willing to switch from Micro$oft to FreeBSD. The
 main stumbling block is the lack of stable flash support.

 Where I have deployed test versions of FreeBSD with either OO or KDE
 with Firefox, they were generally happy except for flash. This is one
 of the things we need to overcome if we're ever going to be seriously
 considered as a desktop os. Most clients expect the browser to at
 least work as well as Micro$oft, however misguided that is.

Being taken seriously is over-rated.
Being taken seriously as a desktop OS would
be an excellent joke was the reality of it not so
horrifying.
Televisions are much better at providing the sort
of cacaphonic nonsense that flash users have
come to expect.

mud, even tried porting flash to linux was probably
widely regarded as a mistake, at least internally.

as far as the desktop is concerned, sounds like a
losing proposition to me.  Especially ones with users

MS, Adobe competition heats up, Will Adobe wake and port Flash to BSD?

2007-04-16 Thread Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri

Microsoft's answer to Adobe Systems' Flash Player has an official
name--Silverlight--and a coveted target audience: media and
entertainment companies bringing video to the Web.

On Monday at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in
Las Vegas, Microsoft launched Silverlight, a Web browser plug-in for
playing media files and displaying interactive Web applications.

Silverlight, which has been under development for at least two years,
is a player that can display Web applications on both Windows and the
Mac in Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari. The download of the
player will be less than 2 megabytes.

Like Flash, it has accompanying development tools for both designers
and software developers.

http://news.com.com/Microsoft+sheds+light+on+Flash+rival/2100-1012_3-6176022.html

I wonder why Adobe didn't make Native Flash Player for FreeBSD and BSD
as well up to now? since we know MS doesn't port such app to Unix in
general.

Porting Flash to more OSes will sure will make adobe beats MS when it

Since AMD/ATI doesn't make a native driver for FreeBSD, I only buy

We as FreeBSD users could write about this in our blogs and pages,

This would be better than emailing the AMD CEO IMHO.

Obviously there are two LoadModule directives for php5_module in your

certain sysctl variables (such as kern.ipc.nmbclusters,

AMD/ATI FGLRX on FreeBSD lives again?

2007-02-17 Thread Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri

Hey Guys,

http://www.fglrx-freebsd.com/index.php
Last update: January 28th, 2007

The driver, as it stands, does the following:

  1. Installs the applicable Linux libraries, and ATI programs to
your linux_base.
  2. Compiles and installs the following ATI programs (For FreeBSD):
fgl_glxgears, fglrx_gamma, and the ATI control panel.
  3. Installs the X11 drivers and libraries. (Linux builds, but work
file under FreeBSD)
 Supports full 2D acceleration, including accelerated XVideo.
  4. Supports TV out and MultiHead.
  5. Does NOT support 3D acceleration, or build the kernel module.


Any of you aware of this?

You better use libthr with the MySQL instead of linuxthreads, and
don't use HTT with FreeBSD since it hurts the performance.

For more info about it check http://wiki.freebsd.org/MySQL

Also check how to use it with libmap.conf to make mysql uses libthr as well.

Re: Newbie--new install on Core 2 Duo?

On 2/13/07, Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


 It is also a hugh waste of time. 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.


All I'm saying is that we see several emails here asking which build to
use, the question of smp comes up along with amd64 vs i386 vs ia64.  How
many more wonder but don't ask?  It'd be glorious for the install
routine to make this easier on the user.  New users are not experts.

Brian


I agree with you here, the current installer isn't the best for newbie users.

It should be more friendly so FreeBSD will gain more users.

Why shall you do the double job by installing the FreeBSD, then
reinstall it after adding SMP option to kernel? Couldn't we get
FreeBSD to install the right kernel based on the number of  the cpu(s)
in the system?


FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT GENERIC kernel has options SMP by default, so how
this will imapct servers/pcs/laptops with single CPU?

FreeSBIE is able to run the second cpu and launch it as well, so I
don't know how hard is this, PCBSD installs the right kernel if you
have more than 1 cpu.

How many newbie users can buildworld, customize and build a new kernel?

I would advice newbies to use PCBSD or DesktopBSD, so they can learn
more about FreeBSD, since they will be able to use the internet and
read the docs online from their laptop, or pc, instead of getting
another pc beside them to read and apply things in the console.

This is the way how I got to know how to make buildworld, and make
install kernel, while I'm reading from the same laptop.

So now, I'm able to to install FreeBSD, and KDE from the scratch,
because I started with PCBSD beside DesktopBSD, and reading online and
trying things out without having another pc beside me, or read man
pages in the console without colors, learning more about FreeBSD while
you are online is the easier way to go IMHO.

The best approach to learn more about FreeBSD in my opinion is to
install PCBSD 1.3.01 which is based on FreeBSD 6.1 or DesktopBSD
1.6-RC1 which is FreeBSD 6.2 , they will detect your cpus and will
install the right kernel to use both cpus beside complete ready
FreeBSD with KDE desktop in your thinkpad notebook.

Hi,

You'd better have a ATI driver to let your card work. AFAIK, the ATI driver
which support your display chipset is still not port to FreeBSD. If you
like, you can have a try on the ported driver with following link:

http://www.fglrx-freebsd.com/

If it doesn't work, please wait for the updated driver port to FreeBSD.
Anyway, good luck, guy.

B.Rgds,

I don't think there is one interested in doing so yet.

Re: gcc compiler cputype, prescott or nocona confusion

 Hi,

 When recompiling the world or kernel in FreeBSD i386 Rel 6.1 with,

 # make buildworld
 or
 # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYSMPCONF

 (or building anything anything else for that matter), even though I have
 CPUTYPE?=nocona set in my /etc/make.conf file the compiler seems to
 head
 back to a default of  -march=prescott when compiling many of the
 functions
 on a Dual Xeon 3.6g (nocona) machine!

 This doesn't happen when compiling for other machine types, I've tried it
 on a
 Dual PentiumPro, Dual PII, Dual PIII setting the CPUTYPE to the correct
 cpu
 type and the -march sticks to the assigned cpu type through all operations
 and produces nice quick optimized code.

 Why is this so?

 Is it because the nocona machine type optimization refers to the EMT64
 technology and thus is rejected when compiling for i386 targets rather
 than
 amd64 or emt64 targets and Gcc rejects it?

That's right. AFAIK the Nocona core is a prescott with EM64T support (feel free 
to correct me if I am wrong). Basically you have an i386 version of FreeBSD, 
and with EM64T instructions enabled GCC will build a 64-bit version of FreeBSD. 
I think that's the reason it switches back to prescott.

For the record I used nocona with my dual xeon emt64 2.8 GHz and it
broke my kernel.

 You need to apply the rtld patch mentioned in the first link above.

 Is there a way to get sound working as well? Google didn't give any
 answers.

 Short answer: no. Read my 2nd the last post made on this topic.

Sorry for being so lost. I'm totally lost in the native/emulated mess
and which of the ports work with which.

It's terribly sad that nobody can make it work, as of now. I really hope
FreeBSD 7 can make a change.

Unfortunately this means I will have to switch to using Linux as my
desktop OS. Crap. Reinstall hell... :(

Flash, however much we all hate it, isn't going to go away.
It's extra annoying since I had Flash6 working all right before, and now
this mess.

While FreeBSD has a great community (thanks all guys who have patience
with me asking stupid questions!) and is much more pleasant to
administer it doesn't meet my needs in this area. A crying shame, and I
just wish I wasn't such a total looser at coding or I'd try to help with
this problem.

Many thanks to all who answered!

/Andreas


I was able to use Opera Native via this link

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-December/137131.html

Didn't put more time in FF yet.

And I thought that I read that carefully! Was that paragraph added since

Anyway. Can we hope that patch is finding it's way into the main branch
with haste? FreeBSD without Flash working is not a suitable day-to-day
websurfing system.

Oh... that is very disappointing.

I have my laptop triple booted with Windows-2000, Knoppix-5.1.1 and
FreeBSD-6.2 and was going to show off FreeBSD's network speed as a
comparison test to show my coworkers that Linux and 2000 is not the only
