Does anyone run VNC with 64-bit FreeBSD (amd64)?
G'day everyone, I recently had to replace a disk and took the opportunity to upgrade from 5-stable to 6-stable. I also changed from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version. I have a dual Opteron server. VNC installed from ports (4.2.1) doesn't work on the 64-bit machine. The same version installed on my home machine (32-bit) with the .vnc directory copied over exactly from my work 64-bit machine runs fine. So in what sense does it fail If I create a blank .vnc/xstartup, then I get the usual grey screen. Then if I try and run X commands on that display, some work, like xsetroot -solid blue, but others, xterm, icewm, twm, etc don't. 130~/.vnc$ icewm -display :9 IceWM: using /home/xx/.icewm for private configuration files X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 10 131~/.vnc$ xterm -display :9 X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Value in failed request: 0x21 Serial number of failed request: 41 Current serial number in output stream: 49 If they are in the xstartup file they give the exact same errors in the vnc log file. I was only running them interactively above to troubleshoot it. Google has failed me for once, so I seek your experience and advice...

I have had some success running the i386 package of tightvnc and starting only twm from the xstartup script. Some applications (just about anything using gtk) crash the VNC server, and some (KDE) work all right. YMMV. I have tried to make NXWindows work on amd64 but there is just too much patching that needs to be done for my meager skills. Thanks for the info. I had figured something like this. I installed the 64-bit system anticipating a future memory upgrade from the current 4GB to 8GB. However, VNC is essential for various members of my group, as is ports/devel/root (which doesn't compile on amd64) and there is some of our own (also essential) custom software which is not 64-bit clean. Since this holds up a number of people from their work and my patching skills are VERY meager, I will have to roll back to the 32-bit OS. Thanks again! Greg P.S. Yes, I should have tested more before the upgrade. I did some tests, but obviously not enough! In my defence, I was hastened by the disk dying and the need to get the machine back up and running. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought about doing that, but there is still other essential software that is not 64-bit clean and our entire group needs this machine back up ASAP since currently we are sitting on our hands doing nothing till I get it back up. If I had a spare machine I could potentially spend some time getting this sorted. But we don't have a spare machine, we don't have any money to buy one, there is only me to fix it, and I have to get some real work done the usual story. Also, if you are running a Unix like OS why use VNC? You can achive %90 of the same features (with less of a memory/cpu impact) by running X apps remotely. What about the other 10%? We use VNC because it saves state for those of my users who work from multiple locations, at home, at work and some are even based overseas. They don't want to restart up to 20 windows every time they logon. Remote access in this form is essential for their productivity.

I did test one of them. It works, but I don't have time to mess with all of them, and finding the 32-bit libraries and putting them in the right place took me forever. I am afraid I am not a great programmer... However, I can quickly do a reinstall safely since I have a recent backup and all my /data and /home file systems are on separate disks I can just unplug. It comes down to a how much time do I have to spare issue and in the end the machine has to be back up today. I already have my own instant-server meta-port that installs all my standard ports. It only takes a couple of hours and I can do some other work while I wait. Also, if you are running a Unix like OS why use VNC?

They run a window manager with 24 virtual desktops, each running an instance of this program. As much as I love screen (I use it constantly for sysadmin-type work and I have mutt running constantly on one of my screens), it doesn't quite fulfill our needs for this task. I hope this is taken as friendly advice to save you work No drama! Friendly advice is always gratefully received. Especially if it is aimed at saving me work! Unfortunately I think rolling back the OS is the least work for me at this point in time. Thanks again, I do appreciate the advice.

kernel panic(?) trying to copy data off failed drive with dd
** Apologies for this cross-post to questions as well as stable ** G'day everyone, I have a 250 GB SATA disk with one regular FreeBSD parition that is obviously in some distress. I can mount the partition, but any attempt to fsck it gives (I think) a kernel panic. I say I think because sometimes it hangs forever, sometimes it reboots. One of the panic messages (at one point or another, sorry I can't be precise) was in initiate_write_inodeblock_ufs2. Errors on the console have been like FAILURE read_dma timed out etc. When it hangs, the console doesn't always give an error, it just hangs. I commented out the drive in fstab so I could boot and started to dd the entire disk to an image so that I can try and mount the image, fsck it and salvage what I can. However, when I get to the bad parts of the disk the machine hangs. I copied the first 160 GB or so, then it hung. I have since recopied the first part of the disk and am trying to get the last part. Recently I have been trying: dd if=/dev/ad4s1d conv=noerror,sync bs=512 skip=333184000 of=data1-image-p2 I was hoping noerror would skip over the bad parts of the disk, but the machine invariably hangs. (1) Is there anyway to stop it hanging on bad reads of the disk and just return an error, which noerror can skip over? I am perfectly willing to patch the kernel or whatever it takes to get this working. While I have a backup, it is a month or so old. I can invest some time now to save having to regenerate the last month's work. (Fortunately this is the less active disk! I have two other 250GB drives which would have been far worse to lose. They are now backed up to the present day!) (2) Will dump/restore help me? Will dump skip over the errors any better? Do I need an fsck'ed file system before I dump? It seems to my uneducated eye that this is a read error that hangs the kernel before it ever gets passed to the user program (dd) so dump/restore will work no better. But I don't really no. The machine is running 5.5 pre-release. I can pull the disk and put it in a machine running 6-stable if that will help. I could also install current on some box or another. Whatever will get the data back!! Advice please?!?

I should point out that I get sound both with and without ACPI enabled. p.s. maybe you will consider possible sharing you kernel configuration file and maybe BIOS settings, coz we have same model and its even more strange that its not working.

Occasional panics under heavy disk load - dmesg/stack traces

Re: Upgrading using /stand/sysinstall

You need to merge your old added groups and users into the current group and passwd files (which already contain the new groups and users added by the upgrade). Although there is probably a more elegant way, I would do it by using vipw to edit the current /etc/master.passwd file and manually add your old entries from /var/master.passwd.back to it. When you exit vipw, it will update the passwd database (/etc/pwd.db) for you. You will have to do the same thing with /etc/group but with a normal editor, not vipw. There is no groups database to update that I am aware of. Note that if you don't like vi, you can set the EDITOR variable to point to your editor of choice (emacs, ee) before you run vipw. Make sure you delete any backup files that are created if you use (for example) emacs! I'm sure the experts out there will think of numerous more clever methods, but this should work. One other point. The aliases file is for email, not logging in. To setup the aliases file I think you are supposed to copy your backed up aliases file to /etc/mail/aliases, cd to /etc/mail and then type make aliases to create the /etc/mail/aliases.db file for sendmail. I think this should be OK, but I would make extra backups of all the files before you do anything just in case. I'm self taught and not an expert!

Re: Upgrading using /stand/sysinstall
Dear Gregory, Thank you for replying to my email with the games.telstra.com/gamearena/ site it was very helpful. No worries. I tried the instruction on a test machine in the email below: and after the installation has completed I typed in cp kernel.GENERIC kernel then reboot the computer I am now currently running : backup# uname -a FreeBSD backup.freebsbsd.org 4.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE #0: Tue Jun 11 06:14:12 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 backup# After the upgrade I am experiencing the following probelms with FreeBSD: 1) After FreeBSD has booted up I can't seem to log in with my old usernames and password, I have checked /etc/passwd and I can't find the usernames. 2)When the machine boots up and I try to start the PostgreSQL service I get the following error message backup# ./010.pgsql.sh start PGDATA: Undefined variable. pgsqlbackup# 3)When the machine boots up and I try to start the MySQL service I get the following error message: backup# ./mysql-server.sh start mysqldbackup# pschown: mysql: illegal user name 4)When I load webmin to test it everything works fine expect Webmin still shows I am running Version 0.93 on backup.freebsbsd.org (FreeBSD 4.3) after the upgrade Does anyone in the mailing list know how to solve the problems? [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a bit of conjecture on my part since its ages since I've done it with sysinstall (I usually upgrade via the cvsup / buildworld method). I dimly remember, but may be wrong, that many files in /etc are archived somewhere else by the install and you are supposed to copy back the ones you need. Can anyone confirm or correct that? If so, that would be the source of at least some of your problems. You will need to copy back your old passwd and group files, possibly mergin in any new groups or users that were added by the install (possibilities include sshd, smmsp etc). Use diff on the archived and new versions to check for additions / deletions. Cheers, Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: CDROM drive(s) suddenly gone
And even weirderwhen I do put in a data cdit is mounted as /dev/acd0c which according to dmesg doesn't even existsyet it is in the /dev directory structure. This is the way it is supposed to work. The device in dmesg will be acd0, while it will be referred to when mounting (as in your fstab) as /dev/acd0c. In a similar fashion, you will notice that your disk drives are detected (if IDE) as ad0, ad1 etc in dmesg, although in /etc/fstab they are listed by partition as /dev/ad0s1a etc when they are being mounted. The additional letter refers to the partition. For the cdrom, the letter c refers to the whole disk. Your initial confusion seems to be due to the fact that you were trying to mount a music cd. This is not what you do, you play music cd's. You can use a variety of things to do this, from the basic, cdcontrol (see the man page), to the graphical interface variety, e.g. xcdplayer in the ports. If you want to extract the music off the CD as a .wav file, you don't mount the cd, you use a ripping tool, like cdda2wav (from the cdrtools port). Hope that makes more sense.
