how to enable screen saver on laptop ?
good morning every1. i have a small isue here, i am using a Asus A6000 laptop as routering machine (yesterday reinstalled fresh) bcouse i dont want to open and close all the time i want to get openbsd tell to enable screensaver mode (disabling the screen for saving the lcd) so copied from /etc/examples the wsconsctl.conf in /etc and edit the display.vblank=on, after a reboot, it only blanked it, but not disabled the lcd at all. so i tried display.screen_off=6 (1 minute) after a reboot i waited. but again, it only blanked. my question, what do i need to do to realy disable the lcd completly. Thnxs. Tony.

Of course, with my second mistake with rm -r, which luckily I quickly realized before erasing too much, I still lost some files from /SRC, but other than that, problem is now solved. From another recent thread, I am never going to use tar for this, dump/restore seems to be the best way. Chris

I'm utterly suprised the store still offers wire transfer. In my day job, we refuse wire transfers. We would rather lose a customer than deal with it unless the invoice is several thousand dollars. Its too much work (on both ends) and one never gets the invoice amount, as the banks charge fees on both ends. What should have been an automated order now requites human intervention on both ends, plus any transcription error along the way sends your money to no-man's land. Even the store's handling of PayPal is obsolete, requiring two steps, and manual matching of orders to payments. There are a dozen other payment methods that could be used on the store, but it seems hopelessly stuck in 1996. -- Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.

Not everyone lives in a country that still believes mailing paper scraps is the best way to transfer money. In Europe electronic transfer is the norm. It's fast and cheap (note: In the EU an electronic transfer in Euros across countries MAY NOT cost more than a national transfer - which often is free. And if one party is in a non-Euro country (like the UK) no exchange cost will be added). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_transfer#Regulation_and_price I am always happy to have bankers on our list, people who can make sure we know when we are being screwed, I guess that is the class of people. I wonder if this is the right moment for me to mention my experiences with moving money in Argentina when I was a tourist there during the economic problems, more than a decade ago. I wonder if my story or insight is relevant in any way; I also wonder if my commentary on this list -- and yours -- will have any impact on the way banking and commerce works.

Re: fax capable UMTS sticks [Was: Re: Question on Serial Ports]
On Thu, 9 Apr 2015, Marcus MERIGHI mcmer-open...@tor.at wrote: Sorry, no. But I can confirm failure. Are you sure AT+GCAP is the right command? I'd be interested in such a fax-capable device as well... +GCAP is a standard command to ask capabilities, see for example: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-V.250-200106-I!Sup1/en And my Sony Ericsson GM29 is capable of Fax Class 1 and 2. With google you find a description of it under GM29 Integrators Manual. Such descriptions of UMTS Sticks are difficult to find, this is why I asked. Your sticks answer +FCLASS: (0-1) to AT+FCLASS=?. They seem to support class 1 fax, even if they do not answer to +GCAP. Perhaps one have to try to send a fax with them. But there is another problem: the mobile telephone provider must support GSM Fax, and the sellers of pre paid sim cards do not know what this means. I am still trying to find the right provider. In any case, the question has less to do with OpenBSD, but a short positive answer of someone that had success will perhaps not disturb too much. Rodrigo.
Trouble getting PPPoE working, any ideas?
I've been trying to replace my ISP provided router with an OpenBSD 5.6 system, but I can't get PPPoE working. Using the userspace pppd daemon on a linux machine appears to work, but no luck using pppoe(4). I did some debugging using wireshark, and for some reason when my OpenBSD system sends the very first PPP discovery packet, it receives no response. I can't find any meaningful difference between the packet that OpenBSD is sending and the packet that my linux machine is sending. As reported by wireshark, the successful packet from linux is describe below. My ISP decided that the internet service needs to be under a VLAN with id 35. Length: 36-bytes Ethernet II, Src: 00:b5:6d:03:b8:9a, Dst: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 802.1Q Virtual Lan, PRI: 0, CFI: 0, ID: 35 Type: PPPoE Discovery (0x8863) PPPoE Discovery: Version: 1 Type: 1 Code: Active Discovery Initiation (PADI) (0x09) Session ID: 0x Payload Length: 12 PPPoE Tags: Host-Uniq: bf0f Raw hex: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 b5 6d 03 b8 9a 81 00 00 23 0010 88 63 11 09 00 00 00 0c 01 01 00 00 01 03 00 04 0020 bf 0f 00 00 The unsuccessful packet from my OpenBSD machine looks like this Length: 64-bytes Ethernet II, Src: 00:0d:b9:35:ac:Dc Dst: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 802.1Q Virtual LAN, PRI: 3, CFI: 0, ID: 35 Type: PPPoE Discovery (0x8863) PPPoE Discovery Version: 1 Type: 1 Code: Active Discovery Initiation (PADI) (0x09) Session Id: 0x Payload Length: 12 PPPoE Tags Host-Uniq: 54c6dda5 Raw Hex: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 0d b9 35 ac dc 81 00 60 23 0010 88 63 11 09 00 00 00 0c 01 01 00 00 01 03 00 04 0020 54 c6 dd a5 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 The main differences I see are: MAC addresses are different, obviously. The BSD ethernet frame has extra padding to bring it to 64-bytes, whereas the linux packet is only 36-bytes The BSD vlan tag has priority 3 set, rather than priority 0 in the linux packet. The PPPoE Host-Uniq tag is different, but this appears to be a random or pseudo-random value. I also plugged in to the other end of my ISP provided router and captured the discovery packet from it. It looks the same as the linux packet, except it's padded to 60-bytes and the host-uniq tag is different. The vlan priority is set to 0 in that packet as well. I've tried to get pf to set the pri tag on my vlan packets to 0, but I'm new to pf and I couldn't get it to work. I tried this rule and a few other variants match out all set prio 0 My best guesses at what's going wrong: 1) Some sort of MTU failure that isn't visible in wireshark. I messed around with the MTU values for the pppoe0 and re0 interfaces, but didn't have any luck there yet. 2) Some lame bug in my ISP's equipment that is failing due to the VLAN priority being 3 instead of 0, or the packet being padded to 64-bytes. Sorry for the marathon long email, I wanted to include everything I thought was relevant. If anyone has any ideas on where I can look to debug this further I'd really appreciate it. Anyone know why I can't get the vlan pri set to 0? Or is there a way I can write raw ethernet frames to the wire. Is a raw socket low-level enough for this? Thanks for the help! -Adam
