Control-M question

2013-08-08 Thread Leonardo Santagostini
Hello list,

Im trying to install control-m agent on FreeBSD doing some searching i
didnt find anything that point to me to a sucessfull installation.

I would really appreciate if someone can give to me a clue or some recipe
or some howto !!

Arquitecture is:

FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec  4 09:23:10 UTC 2012

Well, assuming you're talking about the BMC software, they don't list
FreeBSD as a supported platform.
http://www.bmc.com/modules/module-html/Control-M-by-applications.html?height=488width=940
Given that it's not open source, if the doesn't run successfully under
Linux emulation, I strongly doubt you can do anything outside of con-
tacting the company.

Also, AFIK Linux emulation is i386 only, not amd64/x86_64 (or what-
ever obnoxious neologism they're using to-day) so you'll probably have
to run something other than Linux-x86_64.

newfs -m for large filesystem

2012-11-23 Thread Ireneusz Pluta

Hello,

are the remarks given for the -m option in tunefs(8) and newfs(8) still the same for very large 
filesystems, or the free-space margin might be safely reduced in these cases?


For instance, when I have a 12TB filesystem then the default 8% margin gets close to the value of 
1TB, which seems like a waste of capacity.


Thanks
Irek.

the tunefs remarks do apply.  especially the threshold for space vs. time
optimization.

That said, there is nothing detrimental to reducing minfee to 5%

 I'd try with nvidia. Any modern one has support of 'xvideo' extension with the
 'driver nv' that is 'just enough' for watching movies.
 
 I've no modern hardware but the model that works good for years for
 me is: tnt2 agp 32M. Just the same as out of every TransNeft's
 trashcan around the corner these days. ;-)

They gave me the following from the TransNeft trashcan, indeed:

VendorName  NVIDIA Corporation
BoardName   NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x]
Driver  nv

It says AGP but in reality it is PCI, perhaps some very rare species
:) It has X-Video Extension version 2.2, my movies are back, hurrah!

In the meanwhile, I'll wait for the development of the SandyBrdige
Intel driver.

well i've had such problems regularly with many motherboard. It happens 
often when you have many disks and put heavy load on them. And it is only 
result of poor hardware (not sure - poor controller, motherboard design, 
both?).


i tried changing disks, ports, until i replaced this server with dell 
poweredge ;)



if this is quite random, swapping ports change the behaviour but not 
solve it, swapping cables does not, yet there is no real rule when and why 
it happens you have same problem that i've had.

depends of hardware model.

actually intel GFX is the only one i tolerate and it works.

Eg the one in my lenovo G550 laptop needs 2.7 driver, the one builtin in 
Atom D525 processor needs 2.9 driver.


Completely new intel GFX are not YET supported but that what i only 
heard as i don't have any of them.

Indeed this happens under load. I would not call it particularly
heavy though, it's more like moving large files between zfs datasets
causes the loss of drive.

 And it is only 
 result of poor hardware (not sure - poor controller, motherboard design, 
 both?).

Can we be sure that it is not a bug in the ahci or ada driver? Is
there a way to reinit and reattach the failed drive?

Could it have been a power problem?

I'm also using nVidia GeForce 7600 GS (G73) here, using the
nvidia driver and the kernel module. Works very good, except
my GPU is broken and occassionally freezes the whole system
in an unpredictable manner. :-)

Previously I've been using an ATI Radeon 9200 (RV250) with
less trouble, using XFree86's (and later on X.org's) stock
ati driver.

Any not-too-recent card should work fine.

Re: FreeBSD on the ASUS P8H67-M LGA1155 H67 motherboard

2012-06-01 Thread Victor Sudakov
I have installed 9.0-RELEASE on this motherboard with the following
brief results:

$ cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64)
Installed devices:
pcm0: HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #0 Analog (play/rec) default
pcm1: HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #1 Analog (play/rec)
pcm2: HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #2 Digital (play)
pcm3: HDA Realtek ALC892 PCM #3 Digital (play)
pcm4: HDA Intel Cougar Point HDMI PCM #0 DisplayPort (play)
$

The devices /dev/dsp0, /dev/dsp1 even play to different audio outputs
(front panel and rear panel). 

However, there are some more or less serious problems:

1. The green console screensaver does not poweroff the monitor. It just
blanks the screen and sometimes displays white rubbish thereon.

2. It looses one of the HDDs during intensive read/write operations:

Jun  2 00:55:33 vas kernel: ahcich1: Timeout on slot 4 port 0
Jun  2 00:55:33 vas kernel: ahcich1: is  cs 00c0 ss 00f0 rs 
00f0 tfd c0 serr  cmd c617
Jun  2 00:56:48 vas kernel: ahcich1: Timeout on slot 0 port 0
Jun  2 00:56:48 vas kernel: ahcich1: is  cs 0001 ss  rs 
0001 tfd c0 serr  cmd c017
Jun  2 00:57:20 vas kernel: ahcich1: AHCI reset: device not ready after 31000ms 
(tfd = 0080)

I shall of course check the HDD and cable, but they worked flawlessly on
the previous system.

3. I had to run xorg in VESA mode, because xf86-video-intel-2.7.1_4 does
not recognize the video chip on the motherboard on question. That is a
pain! mplayer is incredibly slow on all movies. It complains that your
system is too slow to play this and gives a plethora of obscure
recommendations, but I basically thought that the sheer CPU power should be
sufficient to play the video. Is there a solution which just works?
Replacing mplayer with something else? Buying a video card (what model)?

 It sounds like what you want is simply:
 
 sed 's/[gm]//'
 
 Or am I missing something?

I get the impression it's something more like this:

sed 's/[gm]$//'

I'm not sure, but there may be a need to check whether the rest of the
line is solely numeric, too.  The original question was not exactly clear
on that point.

  25gm has invalid suffix

Is this what you want?

sed -n 's/^\([0-9]\{1,\}[gm]\)$/\1/p'

Prints output only if the input begins with digits and ends with g or m.

Or this?

sed -n 's/^\([0-9]\{1,\}\)[gm]$/\1/p'

Prints numeric output only if the input begins with digits and ends with g 
or m.

boot0cfg, how to use -m option

2009-10-23 Thread Sandra Kachelmann
I installed the FreeBSD boot loader and have now the following options:

F1  Win
F2  Win
F3  FreeBSD
F4  FreeBSD

F6  PXE

Now I wan't to enable only partition 1 and 3 and PXE (F1, F3, F6).

The manpage of boot0cfg says:

-m mask
Specify slices to be enabled/disabled, where mask is an integer
between 0 (no slices enabled) and 0xf (all four slices enabled).

which I find very confusing.

Could someone explain me what value (and why?) I have to chose to
achieve the above mentioned.

I can't say I've used that, but it appears to just be bit values.  They 
should be:


PartitionMask bit value
11
22
34
48

Add together the ones you need.  For partitions 1 and 3, it would be 
1+4, so... 5.  I don't know if boot0cfg wants that as a plain decimal or 
the leading 0x of a hex format, and the man page doesn't explicitly say. 
It implies hex, but I suspect it wants decimal.  Again, untested.

I don't know if it will display them that way, but you can 
enter them as 100M or 12G or whatever is appropriate when
you are creating partitions.

 Hi Boris! :)

Hi Giorgos! :)

 This is not exactly what you asked for, but you can probably loop
 instead of trying to match regular expressions:

   keram...@kobe:/tmp$ cat -n Makefile
1  LIST= f8 f9
2  USE_LINUX?= f9
3
4  LINUX_VERSION= ${USE_LINUX:C/[ ]*([^ ]*)[ ]*/\1/}
5
6  .if defined(USE_LINUX)
7  .for item in ${LIST}
8  .if ${USE_LINUX} == ${item}
9  RESULT= ${item}
   10  .endif
   11  .endfor
   12  .endif
   13
   14  all:
   15  .if empty(RESULT)
   16  @echo Version ${LINUX_VERSION} is not valid.
   17  .else
   18  @echo Valid version ${RESULT} selected.
   19  .endif
   keram...@kobe:/tmp$ make
   Valid version f9 selected.
   keram...@kobe:/tmp$ make -e USE_LINUX=f10
   Version f10 is not valid.
   keram...@kobe:/tmp$

Thanks, that would fit enough.

Hi Mel!

 Doesn't work because the match is not on words of the list but on the full 
 list and you're not using globs.

You are ringht, but not for the case. The case here seems to exist
because variables are not guaranteed to be expanded for M modifier.
I.e. even with globs the result will not be as expected.

 Aside from Giorgos' method, one might consider:
 LIST=f8 f9
 LINUX_VER=invalid

 .for _VERSION in ${LIST}
 .if (${USE_LINUX} == ${_VERSION})
 LINUX_VER=${_VERSION}
 .endif
 .endfor

 all:
 .if !empty(LINUX_VER:Minvalid)
 @echo Invalid linux version: ${USE_LINUX}
 .else
 @echo Using linux version ${LINUX_VER}
 .endif

Works. Thanks!

netstat -M and netstat -N

2009-03-15 Thread cip...@gmail.com

While looking at the netstat man pages, I saw an interesting option:

 -MExtract values associated with the name list from the specified
   core instead of the default /dev/kmem.

 -NExtract the name list from the specified system instead of the
   default, which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
what do these two options mean? Does it tell netstat to load its values 
from

somewhere else? This seems to exist only in FreeBSD's version of netstat.
Thanks in advance.

These are a few options:

(1) In most shells, you can type a ^M character as part of a filename by
prefixing the ^M character with ^V.

(2) Use tab completion.  Type the first part of the filename and hit
the TAB key.  The shells which support tab completion will fill in
the remaining bits of the filename in the 'correct' way.

(3) Use a GUI file manager or the `dired' mode of GNU Emacs to delete
the file.

There are multiple possibilities:
1) Use a shell which supports tab completion, and tab-complete the
entry.
2) Embed the '^M' using '^V''^M' (type ctrl-v then ctrl-m.)
3) Use shell globbing (if the file is abra^Mcadabra, type:
ls abra*
rm abra* (only if the above matched exactly what you want to delete.)

If you find yourself on a machine without a full featured shell you can 
delete by the inode number. Chuck Swiger saved my bacon with that trick 
several years ago.


[sysadmin /usr/home/sysadmin]$ touch abc^M
[sysadmin /usr/home/sysadmin]$ ls -i

SATA raid controller on Asustek's P5M2-M

2008-02-04 Thread Leonid Satanovsky

Hello, people!
Does anybody know whether the SATA raid controller on Asustek's P5M2-M 
motherboard is supported by FreeBSD 6.3 ... or 7.0?

We are choosing a motherboard for a low-end mail server (this is a small

My experience with the onboard BIOS RAID of various motherboards has been 
horrific.  I'd suggest one of two paths, depending on the RAID configuration 
you're going for.

If you strictly doing mirroring check out gmirror.  If you are planning on 
some sort of striping and want boot support think about populating one of the 
8x PCI-e slots in the board with a RAID controller.  I've had good luck with 
the highpoint 23xx and 3ware 9650s, I'm sure there are other well supported 
options as well.

If you really need boot support and striping but costs are so touchy that you 
can't afford a RAID controllre I'd boot the thing off USB and use 
gstripe+gmirror before I used the motherboard RAID.  It's that bad.

My experience with the onboard BIOS RAID of various motherboards has been
horrific.  I'd suggest one of two paths, depending on the RAID configuration
you're going for.


you well called it BIOS RAID. because it is actually completely normal 
hardware, just with crappy software RAID in BIOS.


gmirror, gstripe is software RAID, gconcat is useful too, all is much 
better and is portable (you may move that disks to any other controller).


and you may gmirror partition, not whole drive.

for booting it's best to create small boot partition.
as it's not much space i usually create boot partition on every disk so it 
can boot with disks swapped, missing etc.


it's just important to make boot partition as a.

example of my /boot/install.sh which i run every time i change anything in 
/boot on 6 disk system:


#!/bin/sh
for x in ad10a ad12a ad14a ad16a ad18a ad20a ;do
 newfs -m 0 -i 32768 -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/$x
 mount /dev/$x /root/mnt-boot
 cp -pR /boot /root/mnt-boot
 umount /root/mnt-boot
done


replace /root/mnt-boot with something else if prefered.


please don't ask me how to do it with sysinstall. the answer is impossible 
or very difficult like temporary install without gmirror, boot partitions 
and copying.


best way is to use liveCD/DVD and do manual install.


is there anywhere manual-install-howto? if not i could write it having a 
bit of time.

Changing the output of uname -m or -p

2008-01-13 Thread Christian Baer
Hello Folks!

This may be a bit of a hacker's question, but I'll just go for it in here
- at least for starters.

I want to play a prank on a friend of mine. He does a csup at least once a
day and also makes a new world at least once a day. He is pretty nutty
about that which is ok for some -CURRENT system, but he also does that on
production systems.

Now I don't want to judge him about that, but he is a bit sensitive about
the output of uname. The version is very important to him. :-)

The prank I want to pull is to somehow change the output of uname -m to
read something different. The best thing would be to change that to
something ancient like C-64, i286, i8086. Or, if only plattforms that
FreeBSD supports are allowed, then mips, alpha or sparc64 on an i386. That
should keep him thinking for a while. :-)

I don't want to do any damage, so I just want to screw up the output of
uname and the system should work normally apart from that. I realise that
I may have to change some of the OS's code and that's not a problem. I
just don't know where to look for this kind of thing and I don't really
want to do too much reading just for a little prank.

This guy is a really good friend of mine but sometimes get up my neck
because I am much more conservative about updating my production systems.
As you can see on this machine, I go along the lines of RELENG_6_2 which
he can't understand. This should buy me a little peace and quite for a
week or two. Getting access to his machines is no problem as I am often at
his place.

Can this even be done and if so how?

Chris

I would recommend that you comment out C[XX]FLAGS and try again

FreeBSD isn't Gentoo, and using Gentoo's settings may cause trouble in

The above is good advice, but I personally don't recall there ever being
a c3 CPUTYPE designation.  For example: 

$ grep -i c3 /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk

$ sed q /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk ; uname -r
# $FreeBSD: src/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk,v 1.48 2005/05/24 21:24:40 cognet Exp $
6.1-RELEASE

On other hand, from reading your headers:

X-Mailer: Claws Mail 2.8.0 (GTK+ 2.10.11; i386-portbld-freebsd6.2)

suggests to me that it may have been added to 6.2.  If that's the case,
then it merits being pointed out.

I have a Via Epia PD1 with the same CPU and use:

Although it does not seem to be mentioned in

The off list response added



- Setting CPUTYPE to pentium, or pentiumpro both work fine.  IIRC,
  the C3 designation is Linux-specific and doesn't exist for
  FreeBSD.



If everybody agrees that the c3 designation is unwise to use, then  
probably the distributed


   /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf

The off list responded gave extremely helpful and detailed  
information about trimming the kernel for a similar box.  I've  
already done most of what that recommends.


In sum, don't use the c3 specification in /etc/make.conf even though  
the example would suggested otherwise.

  the C3 designation is Linux-specific and doesn't exist for

If everybody agrees that the c3 designation is unwise to use, then 
probably the distributed


   /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf

The off list responded gave extremely helpful and detailed information 
about trimming the kernel for a similar box.  I've already done most of 
what that recommends.


In sum, don't use the c3 specification in /etc/make.conf even though the 
example would suggested otherwise.

CPUTYPE for VIA EPIA M-Series Mini-ITX

2007-03-14 Thread Jeffrey Goldberg

I have one of these

CPU: VIA C3 Nehemiah (999.52-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = CentaurHauls  Id = 0x691  Stepping = 1
  Features=0x380b035FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,MMX,FXSR,SSE

http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp? 
motherboard_id=81


And 6.2-RELEASE p2

When I set CPUTYPE=c3 in /etc/make.conf the world seemed to build  
just fine, but (at least) gcc ended up broken.  Most compiling  
attempts after that ended up with gcc reporting an internal error.


Now that I've entered the FreeBSD world and am building everything  
from source, I would like to take advantage of that by compiling for  
my system.


Does anyone have a similar system?  And what CPUTYPE or local tuning  
do you recommend?


A dmesg for the system is available at

  http://ntp0.goldmark.org/temp/dmesg

Cheers,

`C-q' is an Emacs-specific prefix for `quoting' the next
character when you are inserting text.  This way, you can enter
special characters, like C-a, C-b, C-c, ... C-z while you are
typing text.  Just hitting the respective control-key combination
may be bound to an Emacs command.  The relevant text from the
Emacs manual describes this much better than me:

   Only printing characters and SPC insert themselves in
Emacs.  Other characters act as editing commands and do not
insert themselves.  These include control characters, and
characters with codes above 200 octal.  If you need to insert
one of these characters in the buffer, you must quote it by
typing the character `Control-q' (`quoted-insert') first.
(This character's name is normally written `C-q' for short.)
There are two ways to use `C-q':
   
   * `C-q' followed by any non-graphic character (even `C-g')
 inserts that character.

   * `C-q' followed by a sequence of octal digits inserts the
 character with the specified octal character code.  You
 can use any number of octal digits; any non-digit
 terminates the sequence.  If the terminating character
 is RET, it serves only to terminate the sequence.  Any
 other non-digit terminates the sequence and then acts as
 normal input--thus, `C-q 1 0 1 B' inserts `AB'.

 The use of octal sequences is disabled in ordinary
 non-binary Overwrite mode, to give you a convenient way
 to insert a digit instead of overwriting with it.

This is from section 8.1 (Inserting Text), of the Emacs 22 manual.

I hope this helps :-)

There seems to be considerable confusion in this thread between 
keystrokes and the codes they produce.

Most modern keyboards report some form of scan code for each key 
pressed whether or not it is one of the modifier or special 
keys. At this stage there is no connection between the key or
key combination pressed and an ASCII code.

What an application sees in terms of codes depends on the OS and 
anything else that may get in between. We mostly think of keys 
and key combinations as being connected to the the codes seen by
an ordinary console application, but this can vary according to 
the OS.

With a standard setup running X applications with a graphics 
interface are able to see all keys translated to some form of 
symbol code (some sort of a super set of ASCII including codes
for special keys) which can be customised with xmodmap.
 
Character mode programs under X through some terminal emulation
window will see codes (usually ASCII) as further translated by
that terminal emulator. I find that by default xterm reports ^M
on pressing the enter/return key but this can further 
customised through XTerm or .Xdefaults. A basic key is generally
combined with the currently active modifier keys(shift,ctrl,alt,
etc) to produce the code reported to the application. Other keys 
such as function keys might be reported as a sequence of codes.

Utilities and applications may manage codes differently when they 
recognise the source as the keyboard so for example Ctrl-J, 
Ctrl-M and enter from the keyboard are all reported by cat 
as ^J.

I don't understand your comment.   There was no rationale.  That is
just what the ASCII characters are used for and a little of the history
of how they got that way - though the choice of numeric code was mostly
arbitrary, some of it had to do with easy processing of codes as control
for printers and teletypes.   

If you use the characters in a non-traditional way, that is up to
you, but other systems and utilities won't follow your pattern most
likely.   

Now, in UNIX, since it doesn't end lines with a pair of ^M^J but only
uses ^J, it may look like it is a RETURN, but the original designation
is Line Feed.  UNIX just picked that one.

a wordprocessor file or a WYSIWYG or a GUI system uses a much more 
extended set of character codes and representations and action codes.
But, that wasn't the orginal post topic.

Open the file in Emacs with:

M-x find-file-literally RET filename RET

and then replace all ^M occurences with the empty string, with:

M-x replace-string RET C-q C-m RET RET

The important trick here is that you use C-q to 'quote' the C-m

This is probably MS-DOS type text file.   MS text file lines
all end in a CR-LF character pair whereas UNIX text file lines
have only a LF (line feed) and the end of each line.
All text editors on MS systems do that and if you do a binary transfer
of a file from MS to UNIX you will get all the extra ^M characters
showing up.   most versions of ftp have an ASCII mode that will
do the conversion for you as you transfer the file back and forth
between MS and UNIX.   I think SCP only does binary transfers.

I am not an Emacs user, but,
You can easily use tr(1) to remove all the ^M characters from a 
file.tr -r \r badfile goodfile
where badfile is the one with the ^M characters and goodfile is
the newly cleaned copy.   The only anoying thing is having to 
write to a second file and then get rid of the first or mv the 
new one back to the old (as in:   mv goodfile badfile   after doing
the tr.

Re: replacing ^M with emacs

2006-10-27 Thread Noah
this is the best answer.  Hits it right on the head of what I want.  
What if I want the character to replace the ^M with a new line what do I 
enter in the replace field?


cheers,

Noah

How might I get emacs to search replace



Put a mark right before the character (control-space) move to right
after the character and cut the character (control-w).  Move to the top
of the document (esc-) and start a query replace (esc-%).  Yank in
the character that you previously cut (control-y).  Hit return (or enter)
type in the character that you want to replace the ^M with, hit return
(or enter) again.  Enter y or n for each case...

Thanks Peter,

where is the logic here?  What is control-q for and what is control-j 
for?  I am trying to figure out how I could have figured that out.


also is there a better page than the one I am using below to figure all 
these keystrokes out?

The nice thing about that method is that it'll work for odd characters
when you don't know what they are.

For simple things like ^M you can always use ^Q^M to produce an actual
^M when doing the query-replace stuff.

Logic?  I thought we were using emacs here?  just kidding... (mostly)

 What is control-q for

As Giorgos posted earlier:
 The important trick here is that you use C-q to 'quote' the C-m
 character in the substitution string :)

so then its just a matter of knowing the character for newline:

 what is control-j for?

The character for new line.  Which, if you are using the Xwindows
version of emacs, it gives you the shortcut in the Minibuf menu for
new line when you start a query...

 Thanks Peter,

They are ASCII characters.   For example, the ^M you wanted to get
rid of is CTRL-M.There are ASCII tables in various places.
A quick search should turn up a few.   The assignment of the 
characters are ancient and traditional and somewhat weird by
how things are currently used, but will probably continue to stay
that way.

Line-Feed, for example - which is that character that marks the end
of a line in text files, means it causes the printer to move the 
paper up one line - in old line printers and teletypes.  CTRL-M or ^M
is a RETURN (also ENTER nowdays) and that caused the print head to
return to the beginning of the line.  By the time UNIX came along,
it wasn't necessary to use both characters to move the paper and print
head because those were virtual.  So, they just used one character - 
the line feed.   But, MS-DOS and some others continued to use the
pair to mean a new line for some reason - maybe the original association
with IBM, although they didn't use ASCII, but EBCDIC - another animal.

So, look up an ASCII chart with explanations and you can make an
educated guess on the meanings.

  Hi there,
  
  It appears that a text editor placed a bunch on ^M throughout a text 
  file I am working with.  I assure this is equivalent to eh keystroke 
  control-M.
 
 This is probably MS-DOS type text file.   MS text file lines
 all end in a CR-LF character pair whereas UNIX text file lines
 have only a LF (line feed) and the end of each line.
 All text editors on MS systems do that and if you do a binary transfer
 of a file from MS to UNIX you will get all the extra ^M characters
 showing up.   most versions of ftp have an ASCII mode that will
 do the conversion for you as you transfer the file back and forth
 between MS and UNIX.   I think SCP only does binary transfers.
 
 I am not an Emacs user, but,
 You can easily use tr(1) to remove all the ^M characters from a 
 file.tr -r \r badfile goodfile
 where badfile is the one with the ^M characters and goodfile is
 the newly cleaned copy.   The only anoying thing is having to 
 write to a second file and then get rid of the first or mv the 
 new one back to the old (as in:   mv goodfile badfile   after doing
 the tr.

I think there is something similar in emacs by using the
set-buffer-file-coding-system (binded at C-x RET f in default
configurations).

So to cure and succesfully convert DOS files into unix format, i
use C-x RET f unix RET.

well I am pressing control-J for return not control-M so I dont 
understand your rationale.

internal NIC fxp0 appeared in Network Settings.

I added  Proxim wireless PCMCIA card, recompile the kernel and I can see it
