Depends. Where are your other installed packages from? I'd probably
re-install all of them from the pkg-test repository just to be safe.

Yeah!!! 96.47.72.120 works! Thanks! Depends. Where are your other installed packages from? I'd probably re-install all of them from the pkg-test repository just to be safe. I installed 9.1 on new node and compiled from ports. It took a long time, which I want to avoid right now. Here is what I consider as steps for 9.2: freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE freebsd-update install nextboot -k GENERIC freebsd-update install portsnap fetch portsnap extract do all pkg steps freebsd-update install kernel rebuild reboot I might be making some misunderstandings in order of this?

what's the right URI for PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf)?
Things I tried that didn't work:
* pkg_add -r pkg didn't create /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
* pkg.conf.sample suggests http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest;,
but the host name pkg.freebsd.org does not DNS resolve for me.
* URLs using pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org didn't work, and
http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org/ itself says
Currently this site only contains pkg bootstrap files!

some problems with the up to date DB schema.

Wildly different numbers of portsnap updates between i386 and amd64?
Hi. I run 9.1-RELEASE on two boxes: one i386 and the other amd64. I've run the latter for a bit over a week. When I portsnap update, the 32-bit machine typically gets several to dozens or hundreds of updates, while the 64-bit machine typically gets none, or maybe a couple. What might be the explanation for this behaviour?

Re: Wildly different numbers of portsnap updates between i386 and amd64?
The update is a delta from what is already on your system. When you updated the older box, you pulled in lots of changes to get it current. The newer box needed fewer updates to get current. Or something is wrong. You can always delete the contents of /ports and the database in /var/db/portsnap. Then just portsnap fetch portsnap extract. You will get a fresh ports tree.

For machines with less than 4GB of RAM, running 32-bit version is probably wise; 32-bit processes use memory more efficiently compared with 64-bit mode. For some math-intensive workloads like SSL/crypto, audio/video transcoding, and such, there is likely to be significant improvement in 64-bit mode compared with running in 32-bit mode. For most other workloads, you're not likely to notice a difference. I understand some ports my not work - like WINE - but I do not use WINE. Would there be other problems?

IPMI SOL setup on FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 supermicro X9SCM-F/X9CL-F
I have a couple servers that are built using the supermicro X9SCM-F/X9CL-F motherboards, and I can't quite get IPMI SOL working right. These motherboards have 3 NIC's. One NIC is for a dedicated IPMI interface. I have both servers configured to use the dedicated IPMI NIC and these NIC's are plugged into a separate unmanaged switch. Both systems boards are set to redirect com1. I changed /etc/ttys to run a getty on /dev/ttyu0. I have com1 configured to 115,200 baud, 8, n, 1, no flowcontrol in the BIOS. I in have /etc/ttys: ttyu0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 vt100 on secure Using one server, I start an IPMI SOL session to the other server. But all I get is the IPMI SOL output, no login prompt. If I reboot the server I am SOL connected to, I do see the BIOS boot messages, and even the initial FreeBSD boot prompt. I can even make boot prompt changes from the SOL session. Once boot starts the SOL gets no more output. I looked at both servers and the one I am using to initiate the SOL has /dev/ipmi0 and ipmitool working fine. On the server I am trying to connect to has /dev/ipmi1 and ipmitool errors: Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory These are identical motherboards. I suspect that because the one system creates /dev/ipmi1 instead of /dev/ipmi0 may be why the SOL output stops right after the boot starts. If I do: ln -s /dev/ipmi1 /dev/ipmi0 ipmitool works fine, until the next reboot. How can I get the one system to make /dev/ipmi0 instead of /dev/ipmi1? In FreeBSD 9.1 do I use hint.uart instead of hint.sio in /boot/loader.conf? Any help would be appreciated. -Derek derek at computinginnovations.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

powerd(8), cpufreq(4) only available on amd64/i386?
I recently installed 9.1-release on a sparc64 box. One of the options in bsdinstall was to use the cpu power control. I chose to use it. So I've got # grep power /etc/rc.conf powerd_enable=YES # which doesn't seem to work: root: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start powerd Is the following dmesg line relevant? # dmesg|grep power management jbusppm0: JBus power management mem 0x4000f00-0x4000f07,0x4000f410050-0x4000f41005f on nexus0 # Anyway, I wonder if powerd is only for amd64/i386 and is not supposed to work on sparc64. cpufreq(4) is not listed in sparc64 GENERIC kernel. If that's the case, then maybe it's best to remove powerd option from bsdinstall?

It is even so that the ports work on all 'current' FreeBSD versions but not the packages. With other words, you will download always the same source files for 7.4, 8.3, 9.0, 9.1 and 10.0 but compile it then for your version. For Linux major distros there usually is a labelling for the collection of the software, independent of the kernel version. On Linux I usually install binaries for the base system and desktop environment, but for important software, in my case it's audio, compiling from source is very important. This does not really matter here. It is only that you might do not have the options compiled in you will need when using the binary. The author of the snd_hdspe driver for FreeBSD seems to need testers. I never have heard of this driver. It seems to be that nobody ever tested if ADAT is working and I'll test it. OTOH I suspect bug fixes for the driver have to be added by recompiling the kernel or at least the driver for the kernel, so I still could use binaries for the applications. Using sources for the kernel is then the way to go. Binaries could work if the required options are compiled in. You can mix binaries and source within the applications. I do this all the while. I install very often the binary and compile later from sources. Since audio on FreeBSD seems to be a niche, I wonder if it's more promising, to go the source or to go the binary rout. Source is the more promissing route here as niches are not supported by default. There are some rare cases in which options exclude each other. So, if you have strange hardware, source is the only route. I suspect if it's impossible or at least less good to mix binaries and from source build software for FreeBSD, I should chose to build from source. You can mix. If it works, it works. If not, it is most likely an option not compiled in you would need.

I never heard of professional audio studios using FreeBSD, so it's very likely that FreeBSD users seldom spend that much money for cards, that ship with all kinds of audio interfaces, that aren't needed for averaged audio usage. I was a professional audio and video engineer, but for my home studio I only bought a relatively cheap RME card, the HDSPe AIO. http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdspe_aio.php It comes with stereo AD/DA converters only, every elCheapo on-board audio device has got more AD/DA IOs.

If the sources available on the particular system are old too, see Section 25.6 for detailed help about synchronizing them to a newer version. I know svn from Linux, but I don't know what I should update using svn ;). Yes, the ports, but to get knowledge were the ports are, I have to google ;).

Another issue is, that the portupgrade command isn't found. However, pppoe does work, but using vi never is fun for me :).

IIUC a release upgrade will rebuild everything, hence one way was already shown to you. The other route would lead you via the sources. I prefer the sources over the binary upgrade.

My FreeBSD 8.3 is a fresh Dependencies come in when it comes to ports. I would like to suggest the you first make a decision whether you want the ports as binaries or via source. Both routes work. Only the sources allow you to specify options. I would also recommend to download first the sources or the binaries and start the upgrade only after all files are downloaded. As you already know, portupgrade is the tool of choice here. If you have problems with 9.1, you might consider a move to 10. I have done this too for the same reason when I got a new machine which has had problems with 9.0. 10.0 is not recommended for production. Me and many other still do this. You might will run occassionally into problems. So, think twice before doing this. install, I only set up PPPoE, anything else is default.

FreeBSD and the ports have 'nothing' to do with each other. You have to upgrade FreeBSD first and then upgrade the ports. Most likely, all applications will continue to work without upgrade. If I remember right, even after an upgrade from 8.3 to 10.0 on one of my machines, all applications continued to work. I still upgraded them as fast as possible. My apologize for the terrible English, I'm in a hurry, but wanted to rely immediately and this makes broken English not better ;). Do not worry about this here.

Re: Upgrading FreeBSD 8.3 amd64
Thank you Erich :) ok, so FreeBSD release is the version of the kernel and not a labelling for the collection of all the software. For Linux major distros there usually is a labelling for the collection of the software, independent of the kernel version. On Linux I usually install binaries for the base system and desktop environment, but for important software, in my case it's audio, compiling from source is very important. The author of the snd_hdspe driver for FreeBSD seems to need testers. It seems to be that nobody ever tested if ADAT is working and I'll test it. OTOH I suspect bug fixes for the driver have to be added by recompiling the kernel or at least the driver for the kernel, so I still could use binaries for the applications. Since audio on FreeBSD seems to be a niche, I wonder if it's more promising, to go the source or to go the binary rout. I suspect if it's impossible or at least less good to mix binaries and from source build software for FreeBSD, I should chose to build from source.

No. The version specification refers to the version of the kernel _and_ the operating system (which form a unit maintained by the FreeBSD team). Those typically have to be in sync. Depending on what branch you follow, this can be: a) a static release number, e. g. 8.2-RELEASE b) a release, enriched by security updates, e. g. 8.2-RELEASE-p2 c) a stable version, e. g. 8-STABLE of a specific date (this is work in progress that has been considered working) d) a development version, e. g. 10-CURRENT (this may or _may not_ even compile, it's experimental) Depending on what branch you follow, updating techniques may differ: freebsd-update (the binary way) can be used for a) and b); for c) and d) you update from source. For Linux major distros there usually is a labelling for the collection of the software, independent of the kernel version. Linux doesn't know the differentiation between the operating system (consisting of the OS kernel and the OS programs, the world in FreeBSD terminology) and everything else (third party contributed applications, in FreeBSD provided by the ports collection). On Linux I usually install binaries for the base system and desktop environment, but for important software, in my case it's audio, compiling from source is very important. The ports collection allows both binary installation and by source. There are tools that help managing them. Note that unlike Linux, FreeBSD draws a line between the OS and installed applications - you need to install and update them separately. This is a big benefit as a failed program installation can never harm your OS. The author of the snd_hdspe driver for FreeBSD seems to need testers. It seems to be that nobody ever tested if ADAT is working and I'll test it. OTOH I suspect bug fixes for the driver have to be added by recompiling the kernel or at least the driver for the kernel, so I still could use binaries for the applications. Of course. The separation I've mentioned explicitely allows this method to function. What you need to do is to update your sources in /usr/src and then recompile the kernel and, if required, the world, as explained in /usr/src/Makefile's comment header. Since audio on FreeBSD seems to be a niche, I wonder if it's more promising, to go the source or to go the binary rout. I'd say: Use the source Luke. :-) Experimental changes and bleeding edge updates are typically a domain of source installations. With svn you can track smallest changes very quickly, apply them to your system and have a test run. Doesn't work? Undo the change, or wait for a new version. I suspect if it's impossible or at least less good to mix binaries and from source build software for FreeBSD, I should chose to build from source. Basically there is no problem. One thing you have to pay attention to is dependency versions, but that's what port management tools like portmaster can do for you. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That shouldn't be _that_ complicated, as Flash is going to be extinct soon (primarily to the lack of it on mobile devices with their growing market share). HTML5 will take over the world instead. :-) IIRC Flash only is needed by some browsers and only for videos that e.g. start with an advertising and special tasks like that. Oh, if it would be that simple... :-( Sadly, for some developers, Flash has gotten a replacement for HTML. They design their whole pages _inside_ Flash, so if you don't have it installed, you get an empty page. Their excuse is interactivity. Still more and more online games (those you can play in the web browser) migrate to HTML 5 technology which offers good support on many platforms (and not only on the latest Windows). And if you're using Firefox, there are plugins available that allow you to download video content instead of dealing with the Flash player the site wants you to use. This also encourages the idea of wathcing such content offline with your favourite player, which is mplayer. :-) I'm not sure, but AFAIR HTML 5 can replace Flash, assumed a video doesn't start with an advertising and things like that. It already does this in more and more locations. Regarding video, there's still the problem created by patent lawyers and other strange guys: the coded. HTML 5 can support many formats for video content, even free formats (that do not require anyone to pay royalties in order to use it), but in how far those are already distributed among browsers and systems, that's a totally different question. However, the out of the box experience gets better. Soon the functionality of Flash will be integrated per default in modern web browsers. Just imagine how stupid it would be if I created a web page that requires you to download a proprietary plugin (with lots of security holes!) in order to see a PNG image, to see text in green color, or to render text centered. Sounds idiotic? It is! And it's mostly what applies to Flash. :-) For Linux Adobe will continue providing security upgrades for 11.2 in the future, but that won't help, when websites expect newer versions. Correct, so this is another good reason for finally dropping Flash and move on to better alternatives. Side note: I've been experiencing working Flash for many years now without any trouble on FreeBSD. Sometimes I wish it wouldn't work anymore.

No idea, I can't use Firefox as it freezes my computer (due to a faulty GPU). I prefer using youtube-dl and get-flash-video scripts which do not rely on a browser, but work for 99% of the cases I've tried them. But as suggested, there are Firefox extensions that allow a similar functionality, but integrated with the web browser. Until later, I'm using Opera, it doesn't freeze my computer. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: i386 vs amd64
How does the system know what is OS and what is 32-bit apps? OS works in kernel space while application is not. PAE affects paging system allowing software to address 2^36 bytes of memory. You can access it in kernel space, but user space applications are limited to 2^32 bytes of virtual memory (even less than 2^32 because of mappings). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension If you are interested in memory management in IA-32 (and IA-32e) here are good links: 1) official guide: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html 2) nice (human-readable) book: http://mindshare.com/shop/?c=bsection=0A6B17101710 Where would GCC fit in this regard, or Clang for that matter? If you write app for user-space (not kernel module) you should not care about PAE. You simply compile it as you would do it for system with out of PAE.

Anyway, I have not seen any troubles with 64bit installations. Ilya. How does the system know what is OS and what is 32-bit apps? I think this question is badly written. A kernel supporting PAE can see and use more than 4GB. However, since apps runs unmodified, a single process cannot break that barrier. So, if you are running a single program that requires that lot of memory, PAE is not an option and you will need amd64. OTOH, if you run several programs which don't singularly require more than 3GB of RAM, PAE might be a viable alternative to reinstalling. Where would GCC fit in this regard, or Clang for that matter?

Your laptop is almost the same as mine, the graphics chip is connected via PCI Express. I should see if it builds runs without agp. Looks like drm requires agp for the kernel to link correctly.

I think I built drm and agp together, hence I haven't encountered this error. Do you use radeon video driver? Do you use radeondrm device in kernel? This only place I see this is in src/sys/amd64/conf/NOTES. My understanding is that to get drm working with the radeon driver, I need to add radeondrm to the kernel, but again, I'm not sure.

Summary of conflicts: Skipped paths: 1 (687) @ 2:22:43 For some reason svn thinks your local copy of sys conflicts with the copy from the repo. That could happen if you have local patches or similar, but svn would usually prompt you to merge any such. Also this seems to have affected people completely innocent of any such changes. Assuming you've checked out the stable/9 branch then I think this (untested) command should resolve the problems: # cd /usr/src # svn merge --accept theirs-full ^/stable/9 Use 'svn info' to see what the URL setting for your repo is -- you can just paste that in as is instead of '^/stable/9', or you can use the shorthand '^' which stands for the text from the 'Repository Root' setting plus the rest of the URL string. Note that the 'theirs-full' method of resolving conflicts will tend to wipe out any local changes you may have. If that is a concern, then you could try using the 'edit' method instead. (As the name suggests, this puts you in an editor showing the conflicting merge results, and requires you to edit things into what the result of the mmerge should have been.)

8.3 stable or 9.0 stable amd64 iso with mfi driver changes of May 18, 2012
I am trying to install FreeBSD stable - either 8.3 or 9.0 - on a Dell 420 with Perc H310 LSI PCI Express SAS Rain controllers. Although the physical disks are present and recognized by the BIOS the sysinstall does not see the disks. I think the issue is mfi driver and was added to the stable release May 18, 2012. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mfisektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+8.3-RELEASE I do not have an environment to download the source and make my own installation disk. The 8.3 image on the ftp site is dated April 9, 2012 and the 9.0 is Jan 2012. Is there some place I can download an amd63 iso that was includes the mfi driver update done on May 18, 2012? Or perhaps that is not really the issue at all - any help that anyone can provide will be welcome!

Kevin, Thank you for your response. It is great to get confirmation and I will try with 9.1-RC1 I DO have on board Broadcom 5720 NIC. Nice to know what my next problem is likely to be. Hopefully that will be easy to solve if I install another NIC card. Thanks!

Yup, the 12G machines came out when the paint was drying on 8.3. So there isn't a -stable release with the updated driver. The new mfi driver is in 9.1-RC1 if you are OK with a pre-release. I hope you don't have the Broadcom 5720 NIC like the R620. The FreeBSD driver (bge) isn't finished yet. At least, I don't remember seeing it go into the tree. It's known to _not_ work on the R620 and I believe R720. -- Kevin P.

bsdinstall to jail aborted (9.0-RELEASE-p3, amd64)
Hello, currently I experienced an unexpected behavior of the FreeBSD bsdinstall installer. Some weeks ago I could use it sucessfully to create a jail environment with # bsdinstall jail /jails/myjail Today I tried to repeat this on another system(2) and it fails after the selection of the to-be-used mirror.

Hi Darren, thanks for diving into the issue. I looked through the mentioned places in the bsdinstall code and understand it now.

Yes, I think so too. I guess there usually no FTP directories created for patch level releases like 9.0-RELEASE-p3? Your proposal to introduce a new environment variable like TARGET makes sense. This could work like an override - when it is not set it can fall back to the default (using uname -r which makes sense for the installation media). Should I file a PR or did you already?
