Just to clarify, what was the exact line you added to /etc/fstab ?

Thanks.

I have added /dev/video0 in file /etc/fbtab after all the existing devices.
I'm not sure this is the best option.

It's fbtab, not fstab.

$ man fbtab

You're missing the fact that a T3500 cannot boot off a disk larger than 
2TB, because it supports legacy BIOS boot only, not UEFI.  It is 
possible you might occasionally get lucky but AFAIK the disk geometry 
messes up the BIOS bootloader pretty much 100% of the time.


The Precision line didn't gain UEFI (i.e. >2TB boot disk support) until 
the Tx6xx series, AFAIK.
If your T3500 has a UEFI boot option, then I'm wrong, and you should be 
able to solve your problem by switching to UEFI.


In theory, creating a 2TB partition would be sufficient, but in practice 
it usually isn't.


My solution to these problems is to leave a small USB stick permanently 
installed and boot off that; the easiest way to manage that in OpenBSD 
that I know of is to mount it at /boot and replace /bsd with a symlink 
to /boot/bsd (after moving /bsd, of course).  This will require some 
manual work before rebooting off the ramdisk, naturally, and works IMHO 
best if you use diskids instead of device paths.

accessing webcam as normal user

[Neil Telford]

Hi,

I'm wondering how to access my webcam as a normal user. I verified that it
does work, but I can only access it as root. Therefore, it is currently not
available for web-based video calls.

If I run ls -la /dev/video0, it shows:

crw-r-  1 root  wheel   44,   0 Feb  5 13:35 /dev/video

As I am a member of the wheel group, I should in theory be able to access
it, What am I missing here ?

Thanks, Neil,.

Re: fmt replaces utf8 spaces for ascii ones

By the way, if you try your example in openbsd take in care obsd printf
won't recognize \u00a0.  Use '\xc2\xa0' instead.

I was trying your example in a linux machine obtaining your same results.
But I did it mostly because I was curious about the other difference: the
GNU version inserts the new line 'in' the number assigned by -w, giving
you in this case a 19 wide line as result.  The obsd version breaks the
line in the following character giving you a 20 chars wide line.

Back to the original topic.  What made me hesitate if 'feature' or 'bug'
was the man page.  The following two paragraphs made me think converting
all spaces to ascii could be desired as a practical solution:

 fmt is meant to format mail messages prior to sending, but may also
 be useful for other simple tasks...

 The program was designed to be simple and fast – for more complex
 operations, the standard text processors are likely to be more
 appropriate.

build libtorrent fail

[Thuban]

Hello,
I try again to build libtorrent [1].
I can't have ./configure to find the boost-python library.

The .configure file has been modified like this :

- CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -ftemplate-depth=120"
+ CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"

Then, I try to build like this :

export LDFLAGS="-L /usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib"
export CXXFLAGS="-I /usr/include -I/usr/local/include"

While I can't help you with your httpd chroot issue, I can suggest that
if you need to access a part of the filesystem outside of /var/www, you
can NFS mount it from yourself.

For example, suppose you have a directory /nfs/archive/dist/OpenBSD, and
you want to serve it via httpd.  You can do something like this:

1. add a line to /etc/exports:
   /nfs/archive/dist/OpenBSD -ro 127.0.0.1

2. start nfsd:
   # rcctl start nfsd

3. remount your data under /var/www:
   # mkdir -p /var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD
   # mount -r 127.0.0.1:/nfs/archive/dist/OpenBSD /var/www/htdocs/pub/OpenBSD

At this point you should be able to chroot to /var/www, and still be able
to access files under /htdocs/pub/OpenBSD.

This may not be the prettiest way to achieve your goal but it's simple
and it works for ftpd.  I assume it would work just as well for httpd.

We're not. Where are you getting your snapshot from?
