It's certainly more bloated than 3.5 but after getting rid of some unwanted eye candy it's not as bad as I expected, certainly better than last time I tried it out about a year ago.

Some decisions from upstream are a PITA. I'm from Linux, it's more up-to-date than FreeBSD. On Linux I switched from KDE 3 to GNOME 2, when KDE 4 was introduced and from GNOME 2 to Xfce, when GNOME 3 was introduced. There are forks of GNOME 2, but I guess there's no fork of KDE 3. Some users claim that it should be possible to set up KDE 4, that it become equal to KDE 3. I doubt that. Another issue are hard dependencies, such as the dependency to the buggy pulseaudio.

You need to be running 8.0 or above before you can install compat7x, so it's upgrade with freebsd-update, reboot, install compat7x, either reboot again, or restart any daemons that didn't start first time.

I think it's pretty clear that Oracle are going to maintain MySQL as a freely available database product for the foreseeable future. They are keen to get as many people as possible onto the current release though, so 5.0 is being deprecated in favour of 5.1, and 5.5 is rapidly approaching. 5.1 is pretty much a super-set of 5.0 so you're not likely to have to do any more than run some regression tests to show your schema and SQL still works correctly. Also, if you wait for a few weeks you could go directly to 8.1-RELEASE, which might be a better choice. There have been some pretty significant bugfixes between 8.0-RELEASE and 8.1-RELEASE. bug fixes sound nice. a few weeks you say? Probably more like a month, actually. The schedule is here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/schedule.html but it's not unusual for the release to be delayed as RE team work on ensuring it is of the required quality.

7.1 and wireless with ural
Hey list, I've searched and searched for a solution to this problem and I can't
find one.
I've got the wireless nic setup, its a Linksys WUSB54G v2.
Its picked up by the ural driver, but as far as I can tell that driver doesn't
work for it.
dmesg gives me:
ural0: MAC/BBP RT2570 (rev 0x05), RF RT2526
ural0: WARNING: using obsoleted IFF_NEEDSGIANT flag
ural0: Ethernet address: 00:18:39:03:35:3b
Then I get a series of messages that repeat:
ural0: link state changed to UP
ural0: link state changed to DOWN
ural0: link state changed to UP
ural0: link state changed to DOWN
Here's ifconfig when the device is UP:
ural0: flags=108843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT metric 0
mtu 1500
ether 00:18:39:03:35:3b

And in my rc.conf I have this defined:
ifconfig_ural0=wpa DHCP
hostname=my.home.server
And lastly this is my wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid=MYNETWORK
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=mysecretpass
}
Anyone have any ideas on how I can pull down a stable connection with this so
that I can upgrade to 8.0?
Thanks in advance,
Bobby

FreeBSD 7.1 as a router - poor download speed, but normal upload

Upload speed is OK. I called ISP, they asked me to connect WinXP computer and measure speed. It was normal, therefore there is an issue in my server.

Problem installing FreeBSD 7.1 RELEASE.
Hi. I'm having trouble installing 7.1 release. The details of my system : Motherboard : EliteGroup (A740GM-M) RAM : 3G DDR2 800Mhz CPU : AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core processor Disk :WD 500GB SATA DVD : Samsung DVD/Writer Super Write Master Primary OS : Windows XP sp3 I'll list the problems and the attempts I've tried to get around them. Problem #1 The CD/DVD drive can not be mounted by sysinstall. === I have a SAMSUNG DVD writer drive attached to my ATAPI IDE interface. I have a WD 500GB SATA Drive attached to my SATA interface. The system boots off the CD, runs sysintall. I'm able to allocate storage for the FREEBSD partition and then create the individual slices for the default file systems. (/, swap, /var, /tmp, /usr) When choosing the instalation media as CD/DVD, an error message saying that the CD/DVD drive was not found pops up. I've tried every option on the boot program, they all fail to load the CD/DVD drive and can't proceed with the instalation. I've tried changing the DVD drive to a nother CD/RW drive attached to the same ATAPI controller, the problem persist as before, no change. This leads me to my next attempt to install the system from a disk PARTITION. Problem #2 Unable to mount the disk partiton at the time of install. = Ok, I've created a new extended partition with Partition Magic to hold the contents of the install CD. This new partition sits third on the list as follows : a) NTFS partition with my XP installation b) FreeBSD partiton where the system will be installed. c) The new FAT partiton where the contents of the FREEBSD cd is copied into the directory named E:\FREEBSD. I've copied the entire CD to this new partition. Back to sysinstall, when choosing the new instalation media Install from DOS partition I get an error message saying Unable to mount /dev/ad8s3 to /dist, and the problem of not finding the DOS partition where the contents of the FREEBSD cd were copied to continues, keeping me from progressing with the install. The next attempt was trying to install from a filesystem. When selecting this option, a dialog from sysinstall pops up asking to list the complete path name of where the FREEBSD files were copied to this disk partition. I enter /dev/ad8s3:/FREEBSD and an error message saying that it can not find the disk partition comes up keeping me from progressing with the install. I've looked at the FreeBSD handbook online, but could not find further details about installing the system from a disk partition. Any pointers as to what proper measures to take to try to get past this problem. ? Can someone suggest some other way to get the system installed. ? Oh, I've also tried PC-BSD, but that stops right away with an error message of Error loading image since it can not find the CD/DVD drive again. I'll appreciated if you can provide further details of how to proceed, point me to the direction where I can get more details.

You'll need either /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade or /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster to keep installed ports up to date. I prefer portmaster since it doesn't depend on a separate database as portupgrade does. Depending on how long it has been since you've updated your ports and the speed of your machine, updates can indeed take a long time. You could choose to use pre-built packages instead of compiling from source, to speed things up. PROBLEM 3. I always have been running with a custom kernel. So, to upgrade I am supposed to provide the GENERIC kernel in /boot. Ok, I went through that process as per manual instructions. Did you check that the GENERIC kernel that you built was installed as /boot/kernel/kernel? Had to reboot as I needed to transfer some downloaded files from the 7.1 box to the 7.0 box for port upgrading. It is unclear to me why you should have to reboot to transfer files... If you want to e.g. connect two machines with an ethernet cable, are you aware that you can use the scripts in /etc/rc.d to stop and restart networking? And why not just transfer files with a USB thumbdrive? That was a mistake. Nothing indicated that I could not reboot without screwing things up... of course, I should have known better; but I'm prone to that kind of error. But I'm pretty sure that the automatic upgrade would not have worked anyway as it doesn't work on the machine with 7.0 installed. Without a more thorough description of the steps that you followed, there is not really a lot others can do to help you. From your description it is totally unclear what has gone wrong.

And if you use cvsup and the try to update (portupgrade -af), the upgrading never stops... I just stopped it with ctl+c after more than 30 hours... it was getting ridiculous. The manual instructions say some like or can doe the portupgrade -af - but, frankly, it isn't clear on why it should or could be done? It implies it is a form of testing. Nonsense... the instructions are really not clear at all, at least for a dummy like me...

Should one (I) be simply using the GENERIC kernel and then expect the upgrading to be as simple as it seems to sound? And just what advantage (speed wise I suppose) is there to use the custom kernel? Maybe the easiest is to just install the 7.2 fresh; but that would take the fun out of beating my head against an already cracked wall for upgrading and would take probably as long to reinstall all the 644 or so programs. On the 7.1 machine, I don't really want to lose all the files I have on there... most have been saved and none are really that important... but just in case. If this seems too long to post as is, perhaps I should break it up and make several posts? Please help, I am totally confused, disappointed and terribly distressed.

Without a more thorough description of the steps that you followed, there is not really a lot others can do to help you. From your description it is totally unclear what has gone wrong. Booting on this 7.1 machine is now impossible. I tried to boot from the install CD but that only made it worse. As I understood the instruction it would upgrade the machine, but I understand now that it just doesn't work that way... it has to be upgraded from a 7.2 CD. That I don't have at the moment. So the boot now just says: Invalid format FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: - Type ? at the boot prompt to see a list of files in the root directory of the default boot device. Read the boot(8) manual page. It could be that something went wrong with your disk. Mabye the slices or partitions were deleted. PROBLEM 4. The machine with 7.1 - after a complete ports upgrade, I tried # freebsd-update -r 7.2-RELEASE upgrade and I get the famous no configuration file found. Does this configuration file (see above) exist? Somehow, I don't recall that being indicated anywhere in the manual. Oh, I did read it... several times... and the more I read it, the more I didn't understand anything - from mergemaster to the configuration file to the modular kernels ... Maybe someone could explain to me just exaclty how is one supposed to deal with the upgrading and customizing the kernel. Should one (I) be simply

Now, you'll be using a self-compiled version of FreeBSD rather than exactly what comes off the release .iso so there will be minor differences and mismatched checksums for various files. However I think freebsd-update should be able to cope, and will probably overwrite any non-matching files. In case it doesn't, your next recourse would be to grab a release .iso from the FTP sites and overwrite your system with the version from the install media. You can do this without completely trashing your existing setup if you take care -- particularly make sure that you tell the installer *not* to newfs any partitions. Of course, make sure you've backed everything up before trying this, as it will overwrite some of the files under /etc with the default versions.

If you follow STABLE, there is no such defined point hence you cannot use freebsd-update to go from STABLE to RELEASE. For your case, use the csup / rebuild method one more time to get to 7.2-RELEASE. After that you can start using freebsd-update to upgrade from one release to the next. ___ 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

Stability issues after upgrading to 7.1 - NFS related?
Hello all, We recently upgraded an NFS server from 7.0-p6 to 7.1-p6. The following Monday morning, we found the server's networking to be wedged, and console error messages that strongly resemble this post [1]. In an effort to try the mentioned fixes, we upgraded to 7-STABLE. This did not seem to help matters; the NFS server keeps wedging 1-2x a day, requiring soft reboots (via console) at times and hard reboots at others. Heavy NFS load seems to trigger everything. Initially, we thought there might be a problem with rpc.statd because we started seeing RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC : Timed out messages. All the hosts that timed out were previously-working Linux (CentOS) NFS clients. We have IPsec configured in transport mode between all FreeBSD and Linux NFS clients, but only see the RPC error for CentOS (not RHEL) hosts, (and no errors from FreeBSD clients). Before the system wedges completely, `top` reports that most nfsd processes are in the *ipsec state. These are all the troubleshooting steps we have taken: - disabled NFS locking on the Linux NFS clients - RPC timed out messages still appear - set up RPC to use static ports for NFS on our CentOS clients (to work better with our firewalls, which needed no such rules before) - RPC timed out messages still appear - added 'rpc_lockd_enable=NO' to /etc/rc.conf - after rebooting, `rpcinfo -p` showed no lock manager running, but the crashes persisted - added nooptions NFSLOCKD to the kernel configuration - this only caused things to crash faster (few minutes after boot, with very little NFS load) Unfortunately, one of the issues we've run into in debugging this problem is the lack of useful logs and debugging information. Some info we have managed to gather: - before one reboot, we noticed console messages about mbuf's filling up. Running `netstat -m` right before crashes seems to confirm this. If anyone could provide some insight into what's happening, or help us get more debugging information, it would be very helpful.

Is the same happening when you dump to a local file (on a different partition obviously)? This would rule out inter process communications within dump itself. FYI, I'm using this daily through periodic with a few 7.1-STABLE machines and -current. Although, I do compress (with gzip and bzip2 on faster CPU's) before transfer. The only difference is that I don't use then -n flag to dump. Worth a try, though I doubt the so_receive it's waiting on is because it's unable to notify a human in the operator group. If you're comfortable doing so, you could grab a 7.2-RELEASE livefs CD to see if this issue persists using the dump tools from there, though I don't know of any particular fixes in this area.

Determining file on which process is trying to acquire lock / fbsd 7.1
Hello!
I have a web server running nginx + php-fpm FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. When
traffic increases, the load doesn't go up noticeably, but I start getting
massive timeouts because the php-cgi processes stop responding. In top, I
see a whole bunch of these php-cgi processes in lockf state, so I assume
they're blocking while trying to acquire a lock on some file.
I tried using truss to see where this is occurring and get a lot of the
following:
# truss -p 77214
...
poll({10/POLLIN|POLLERR|POLLHUP},1,1000) = 1 (0x1)
recvfrom(10,STORED\r\n,8192,0x80,NULL,0x0) = 8 (0x8)
close(10)= 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
fcntl(4,F_SETLKW,0x7fffc580) = 0 (0x0)
...
That last line is repeated about 20 times, then the process seems to get the
lock and go about its business, and then repeat. There always seems to be a
pause in the truss output to my terminal after the
poll({10/POLLIN|POLLERR|POLLHUP},1,1000) line as well.
Is there a way to determine which file the process is trying to set a lock
on? Or any other way to troubleshoot the cause of this problem?
I tried running lsof -p 77214, which showed a long list of files used by
the process, but I didn't see anything about it trying to get a lock on a
file. Googling suggests that pfiles on Solaris might help with this -- is
there an analogous utility on FreeBSD?
Thanks a lot in advance for any advice you might have!
Antonio

Le Tue, 12 May 2009 19:14:38 +0100, Brendan Kennedy brendan.kenn...@gmail.com: Hi All, Hello, FreeBSD_26# sysctl -a | grep crypto kern.cryptodevallowsoft: 1 However, when I try a test, I get the following: FreeBSD_26# /usr/src/tools/tools/crypto/cryptotest -va 3des cipher 3des keylen 24 CIOCGSESSION: Invalid argument FreeBSD_26# /usr/src/tools/tools/crypto/cryptotest -va des cipher des keylen 8 CIOCGSESSION: Invalid argument It seems the software crypto device is not available. Do I need to do any other steps to enable it? Is there another config option that makes sure it is build as part of Opencrypto framework? Do I need to build some other software driver instead? Cryptodev fails because it checks that the requested crypto driver provides hardware crypto. function checkforsoftware in cryptodev.c And it does not take care about the sysctl kern.cryptodevallowsoft. Looks like a bug and not a feature. OpenBSD's cryptodev seems to take care about the sysctl and i think you can use the cryptosoft driver with it.

Re: /tmp/security on 7.1-Release
Hello, Ever since upgrading from 7.0-Release to 7.1-Release I get the following in the daily security reports: master.lc-words.com kernel log messages: +++ /tmp/security.yMzCQbS8 2009-05-13 03:01:25.0 +0200 +re0: watchdog timeout +re0: link state changed to DOWN +re0: link state changed to UP It just happens around 3 a.m. each day and so I wonder if I should be concerned about it...? Thank you in advance for your suggestions! I can bet it's NIC related problem, probably your re0 is sharing IRQ with something and it's going up/down. The time you see (~3.oo AM) is the moment periodic works, so it doesn't mean the problem happend then. I've seen similar problems on cheap PC hardware with integrated NIC and/or external PCI NIC (re/rl/em). Search for 're0: watchdog timeout' on google. The solution is to replace re with something else - em for example, but there is no guarantee it's going to work - I had same problems on crappy hardware with two identical interfaces plugged in (some model of em - IRRC Intel PRO/1000 GT) Yes, you are most likely right but I am left wondering why this has never been a problem on 7.0-Release...? So either the problem in question did not occur on 7.0 or it did occur but wasn't reported. Thanks! -- Zbigniew Szalbot ___ 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

Run a 7.0-RELEASE kernel to be sure of this. It can just be that the hardware went bad around the same time you upgraded. Bad cable or negotiation with a switch are also causes of this. See the DIAGNOSTICS section of the re driver. -- Mel ___ 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

It's a general purpose server for a small company and it's clients, running web, sql, mail and recursive dns. The machine is a Compaq ML350 G2. Version 7.0 was running on it for a year now without any problem. After 30 of April I've upgraded to 7.1 (I've followed the handbook) and since then nearly every two day the machine becomes unreachable except for echorequest. If i try to log in in the terminal it just hangs after i give my password. I'm out of any ideas. Please feel free to ask any more info that I've forgotten to provide. Thank You for your help in advance. If this is a not a GENERIC kernel, did you change scheduler or stuck with SCHED_4BSD in your kernel? I've just added PF related stuff, so the scheduler is remained the default. -- Mel !DSPAM:117,4a09ba6e83011202221441! -- Gabri Mate ___ 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
