I have this line in /etc/make.conf:
PORTS_MODULES = graphics/drm-kmod graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod
So the modules are always built and installed at every "make kernel".

12.1-STABLE crash after upgrade to r360192

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

I went from 12.1-STABLE r359345 to r360192 on an Acer C720 Notebook.
The system now crashes on loading /boot/modules/i915kms.ko
I build and install graphics/drm-kmod and graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod
together with the kernel.

If i915kms.ko is loaded via kld_list in /etc/rc.conf at boot, the screen
goes blank upon loading the module and does not react any more, powercycle
is required. If I load the the module manually after a successful boot,
the screen goes blank and the system reboots after a while; on reboot
a dump is found and written to /var/crash.

Kernel config is GENERIC with added options WITNESS and WITNESS_SKIPSPIN
CPU is a Celeron 2955U (Haswell class) and the graphics controller
identifies as 'Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller' in pciconf.

Any suggestions how to proceed from here? Any usefull information that
I could extract from the crashdump?

My system r352194 also hangs at boot after successfully finding its usb
devices. Console echos input on both connected usb keyboards, but
nothing more.
Previous kernel r352139 boots ok.

local_unbound broken in 11.2-p13

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

I was trying to use local_unbound in a jail on a newly configured server
running 11.2-p13. First using an external nameserver in resolv.conf
(works) and after starting local_unbound for the first time, config was
created and local_unbound starts ok, but any queries get an answer with
rcode SERVFAIL. No information in /var/log/messages. Same setup on 11.2-p9
works as expected.

Comparing config on both servers, it appears that local_inbound now
creates a root.key file with a DS record for the root zone, while the
working installation has a DNSKEY record for the root zone. Changing
the root.key file to one with DNSKEY record gets local_unbound working
again.

maybe this is related to the recent switch to LLVM 5 and associated

cyapa(4) and isl(4) no longer working on Acer C720

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 11 on a chromebook Acer C720. Because I normally
use a mouse I didn't catch the exact time when cyapa and isl stopped
working, but my guess is it was when chromebook_framework was introduced
and cyapa and isl were moved to using iic. 

A manual page chromebook_platform(4) does not exist. Maybe the Acer is
sufficiently different from other chromebooks that chromebook_platform
does not work here. In that case I'm supposed to set device hints for
the isl and cyapa drivers where to find their iic resources, according
to 
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics/commit/e2eab8e254154d36ebd6fde573f86e6472b75572
Unfortunately I have no idea where to find the information that would
be needed for this.

I have this in /boot/loader.conf:
-

kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
zfs_load="YES"
coretemp_load="YES"
chromebook_platform_load="YES"
ig4_load="YES"
cyapa_load="YES"
isl_load="YES"
-

And this in /etc/rc.conf:

I first installed the port a couple of years ago and updated regularly,
but of course the options value of not installing the symlink, which
I then accepted as default, had been saved and was automatically used
in every update since. I could not validate the previous cert either,
but could check the hash against the published version.

Now using "make rmconfig" and reinstalling the port fixed it for me.

Maybe we should consider bringing the config dialog up again in
ports where default values are changed?

How is ntp leapfile update supposed to work?

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

after rebooting my ntp-server into FreeBSD 10.3-p5 I find a message
in dmesg reading
leapsecond file ('/var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list'): expired less than 5 days ago

Looking through /etc/periodic I find daily/480.leapfile-ntpd which
updates the leapfile if daily_ntpd_leapfile_enable is set.
daily_ntpd_leapfile_enable defaults to "NO".

How is it supposed to work? Do I enable daily_ntpd_leapfile_enable
on all hosts running ntpd? Or just on the server that the other
systems use for synchroising? Or not at all?

Recent stable: bsnmpd eats up memory and cpu

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

after updating some 10-STABLE systems a few days ago, I noticed that on
two of those systems bsnmpd started to use up a lot of cpu time, and the
available memory shrinked until rendering the system unusable. Killing
bsnmpd stops the cpu usage but does not free up memory.
Both affected systems are amd64, one having moved from r297555 to
r298723, the other from r297555 to r298722. Another amd64 system
that went from r297555 to r298722 appears to be not affected.
The two affected systems are on an internal LAN segment and there
is currently no application connecting to snmp on those machines.

What would be useful debugging data to collect in this case?

 All I could find was https://wiki.freebsd.org/KonradJankowski/Collation but
 that page has not been changed in more than two years. Looking at sources of

 I think no one is really interested to add real UTF-8 support to
 Syscons. Currently you can get UTF-8 output by using Syscons xterm
 ttys (which is default) and set your appropriate locales. For input
 it's currently (unfortunately) not supported.

 If you use X.Org, then your fine using UTF-8.

There might be a misunderstanding: Collation is about ordering characters and
sorting strings. What we have in FreeBSD right now is support for input and
output of utf-8 characters, and with X11 and the right set of fonts they
display ok, and at least using vim editing utf-8 text works ok. But sorting
utf-8 strings yields interesting results as soon as you have non-ascii
characters in your strings.

 No, not supported in the base system.

 However, personally, I'd avoid FTPS.  It suffers from most of the design
 flaws of standard FTP[*], particularly as regards passing through
 firewalls.  Worse, because the traffic is encrypted, you can't even use
 tools like ftp-proxy (in ports as ftp/ftp-proxy) to extract transient
 port numbers by deep packet inspection.  As far as your users are
 concerned, just use SFTP.  It behaves exactly like an ordinary FTP
 client, but the underlying SSH protocol over the network is way, way
 better designed.

Well, the problem I have here is at the server side: ftp users can be
locked in a particular subtree of the file system by simply assigning
them a chrooted login class. No need to setup any infrastructure in
that subtree itself. Did not find out how to do this with sftp (we only
allow publickey authentication with ssh at our servers)

usb multicardreader probes only first slot after update

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

I just noticed that a usb multicardreader that I have used for a few years
stopped working after an update from 8-STABLE around January 10th to
8-STABLE from May 29th. Reason appears to be that now only the first
slot (which is empty) is probed instead of all four slots like before.

Re: 8.0-Beta installation problem -- Unable to find /dev/ad0s1b

Hi,

   I had the same problem with beta4:
 [...]

 My previous tests were with 8.0-beta4-amd64.

 I now tested with 8.0-beta3-i386, this time installation and partitioning
 worked.

 I'll try to partition using a i386 boot cd and install using
 the amd64 boot cd 8-)

 It seems to be a bug with the amd64 code ?

a few days ago I installed a new system using the amd64 bootonly iso
and didn't have any problems with partitioning. Hardware is
atapci1: Intel ICH7 SATA300 controller port 
0xd080-0xd087,0xd000-0xd003,0xcc00-0xcc07,0xc880-0xc883,0xc800-0xc80f irq 19 at 
device 31.2 on pci0
ad4: 476940MB Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 GM4OA5CA at ata2-master SATA150
On installation I had a different BIOS configuration though that caused
the SATA disk to be found as ad0, maybe that makes a difference.

 During the last couple of releases I simply didn't have time to do 
 everything and this was one of the things that fell by the wayside.

 After the dust from 7.1 settled we started to make arrangements for 
 someone else to set this up and watch over it for us during the release. 
 It might take him a little time to get rolling with it (as in it might not 
 appear immediately upon the release cycle starting) but hopefully we will 
 have something along these lines come back at some point during this 
 release.

 While such lists do have downsides (you shipped even though problem X on 
 your showstopper list wasn't fixed!) they also have some nice advantages 
 -- one is focusing user community testing time and developer community 
 fixing time.  At least in the case of 7.2, though, I'm not aware of any 
 major outstanding problems, so focuses for testing are presumably just in 
 the areas of major change from 7.1.

One change I have not seen mentioned on stable yet is that we now have
localized libc messages. Might be a good idea to have a look at scripts
that expect to see certain outputs from commands.

 Sorry about the noise.

 Maybe I wasn't too patient, but I will swear that netstat -rnf inet6 
 showed no default route even when it was supposed to. And yes, I did 
 reboot the system to verify my settings.

 Again, my bad.

I have the problem sometimes that the system tries to get IPv6 router

at least not within the time frame I was patient enough to wait.
In this case I usually call rtsol by hand to get the parameters.

Re: /etc/rc.d/netif wont add default gateway

[Wolfgang Zenker]

Hi,

* area damai™ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [071202 21:42]:
 whenever i run /etc/rc.d/netif it will read rc.conf and add the pc IP and
 netmask but it wont read the default gateway resulting lost connectivity to
 internet

 # -- my /etc/rc.conf :
 defaultrouter=192.168.1.1
 hostname=msc.edu
 ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.1.9 netmask 255.255.255.0
 [..]

 # -- while issuing /etc/rc.d/netif restart:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /etc/rc.d/netif restart
 Stopping network: lo0 rl0 plip0 pfsync0 pflog0.
 [..]

what happens is that /etc/rc.d/netif restart first runs
/etc/rc.d/netif stop. This stops all network interfaces.
Now the kernel routing system gets notified that these interfaces 
are no longer available and deletes all routes that use this
interfaces.
After that /etc/rc.d/netif start runs and the interfaces
become available again. Every time a network interface becomes
available, the kernel adds a route to the immedialtely connected
network (which is determined by interface address and netmask).

So stopping an interface has the side effect of clearing ALL routes
going through this nterface, while starting an interface has only
the side effect of adding a route for the net that is locally
connected to this interface.
The kernel can not add the default route on its own again because
all information about this route had been deleted ehrn the interface
went down.

To add non-local routes (including the default route) you could now
run /etc/rc.d/routing start

Re: AMANDA 2.5.1p2 and GNU tar 1.16.1, the latter returning 1

Hi,

 Does anybody besides me have problems with AMANDA 2.5.1p2 and GNU tar 
 1.16.1? The problem is that gtar exits with an exit status of 1 after 
 creating the archive. This leeds to AMANDA dumping the affected 
 filesystems at least twice.
 [..]
 Here's an exerpt from an AMANDA mail report:

 /--  monitor.fig.ol.no / lev 0 FAILED [/usr/local/bin/gtar returned 1]

 sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/gtar

 | Total bytes written: 173752320 (166MiB, 3.0MiB/s)
 sendbackup: error [/usr/local/bin/gtar returned 1]
 \

the exit status of 1 is due to ./proc: file changed as we read it.
As you probably don't want to backup /proc anyway, exclude it from
your backup config.

In this case the OP just used WRKDIRPREFIX, which is the documented way

swap_pager forgetting device?

Hello,

I have a strange effect on a heavily used webserver (Apache 1.3  PHP5)
running 5.4-RELEASE-p11.
This machine did use a lot of its 16 GB of swap last Friday, but recovered
since then with now 46 MB of swap being used:

# swapinfo
Device  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity
/dev/da0s1b  1677721646652 16730564 0%

Now I see messages like these in syslog:

Feb 20 12:20:03 www1 kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 
[NULL], blkno: 94333, size: 8192
Feb 20 12:20:03 www1 kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 
[NULL], blkno: 42814, size: 32768

I guess they are related to these processes:
# ps axuw | grep 'D.*httpd'
www 4130  0.0  0.5 36996 19248  ??  DL   Fri07PM   0:13.02

/usr/local/sbin/httpd -DSSL

Looks to me like the swap_pager swapped out blocks used by these processes
and somehow managed to forget the device.

Anyone seen this before?

Re: high interrupt load under 6.0?

Hi,

 I have a 486DX50 firewall that has been serving me well for a number of
 years.  I recently upgraded it fro 5.4 to 6.0 and performance plumeted
 rather drastically (about 40%).  I would like to fix it.  What I have
 noticed is that even when sitting idle the system spends ~20% of its
 time in interrupt.  Below I have included dmesg, kernel config, and
 vmstat -i information.
 [..]
 interrupt  total   rate
 irq0: clk  203894894   1000

a clock rate of 1000 Hz is probably to high for a 486 class cpu.
You should add options HZ=100 to your kernel config to get back
to the 100 Hz that where default before 6.0

 the two drives in the RAID1 array would have had some corruption
 problems when it was taken out of the array and addressed as a single

It could be a problem with your power supply: in mirror mode both drives

another possibility would be that something is wrong with your troff binary.
You could try to rebuild troff and see if this fixes your problem;
