I'm digging up this old thread because I've just solved this very issue on my own desktop. If it's the same issue as mine, the SPDIF output sends to channels 2 and 3, but by default sndiod will only use channels 0 and 1. Adding `-c0:3` to my sndiod flags made it work! (as already mentioned, you have to also set outputs.mode=digital in mixerctl too) Credit where due, I found this solution here: http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=10953#post66355 -- Best Regards Edd Barrett https://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
Radeon 7790 Graphics Freezes
Hi, I'm trying to get one of the two 7790-based Radeon cards that I have working on OpenBSD: They both show up like this in dmesg: radeondrm0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Bonaire" rev 0x00 drm0 at radeondrm0 radeondrm0: msi radeondrm0: BONAIRE radeondrm0: 1920x1080, 32bpp They both work for a time in OpenBSD/XFCE, but eventually the desktop session freezes. Oddly the mouse pointer still moves, but clicking on any UI controls does nothing. If sound is playing, it continues to play. This happens when doing normal 2D desktop stuff, like web browsing. I found this reddit post which describes the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/e077lc/x_freezes_on_my_system_with_radeon_graphics/ The workaround suggested is to kill the XFCE compositor, but I'd rather not. I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about this? Is there some Xorg configuration workaround I could try? I had hoped to try EXA acceleration, but the card doesn't support it. (This is all with -current on amd64). Thanks! -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk

Thinkpad X1 5th Gen Microphone
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten a microphone working with the built-in azalia chipset of a Thinkpad X1 5th gen (either the internal mic, or a headset)? I've never managed to get it working. Default mixerctl settings: ``` inputs.dac-0:1_mute=off inputs.dac-0:1=198,198 inputs.dac-2:3_mute=off inputs.dac-2:3=198,198 inputs.beep=108 record.adc-2:3_source=mic record.adc-2:3_mute=off record.adc-2:3=126,126 record.adc-0:1_source=mic2 record.adc-0:1_mute=off record.adc-0:1=126,126 outputs.hp_source=dac-0:1 outputs.hp_boost=off outputs.hp_eapd=on outputs.spkr_source=dac-2:3 outputs.spkr_eapd=on inputs.mic=85,85 outputs.mic_dir=input-vr80 inputs.mic2=85,85 outputs.hp_sense=unplugged outputs.mic_sense=unplugged outputs.spkr_muters=hp outputs.master=199,199 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.master.slaves=dac-0:1,dac-2:3 record.volume=126,126 record.volume.mute=off record.volume.slaves=adc-2:3,adc-0:1 record.enable=sysctl ``` With default sndiod flags (i.e. the sole sound card is enabled: rsnd/0), and of course `sysctl kern.audio.record=1`. Microphone enabled in BIOS. Using the "Ratchov method", `aucat -o - | aucat -i -` should echo microphone input back at you. This works for me on my other machine using a USB headset with a dedicated DAC. I've tried fiddling various knobs: boosting various mic and record levels, all of the mic_dir enumerations, toggling various mutes in case they are inverted. Tried it all again with a headset connected. No joy. So does it work for someone out there, or is there a bug? Cheers -- stay sane! -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk

I got jitsi working on my desktop machine using a USB headset, but failed to get it working on my Thinkpad X1 5th gen (with either the built-in mic, or using a headset in the audio jack). On my desktop: - kern.audio.record=1 - sndiod_flags="-f rsnd/0 -f rsnd/1" in rc.conf.local. (rsnd/1 is the headset) - then in your shell rc: "alias jitsi='AUDIODEVICE=snd/1 firefox -p jitsi https://meet.jit.si/'" Note it's snd/1 not rsnd/1 in the above. I used a new firefox instance so that only calls go via the headset. As for video, in firefox, other people can see my video stream, but I don't see theirs. If I try the same in chrome, I see other people's video, but they don't see mine. Another thing to note is that mouse-overing the firefox window causes jitsi to fade in a toolbar. That animation causes the audio to skip. I wish I could kill it! Nonetheless, that's enough for simple audio calls. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
Jitsi on OpenBSD
Hi, (CC people who may be knowledgable in this area) I was wondering if anyone has got the Jitsi (https://jitsi.org/) web-client working on OpenBSD? It's open-source (and self-hostable) video conferencing. No prizes for guessing why I'm investigating this :P I've just (quickly) tried the browser client in firefox: - It recognises my microphone and my camera. - Thumbnail shows local video feed OK. - I can hear audio from an android participant. - The android participant cannot hear the audio from the OpenBSD machine. - The video is super-flaky on both ends. Did this, as per firefox README: - I have sysctl kern.audio.record=1. - I chowned /dev/video0 to me. This evening I'm going to have a deeper play around (e.g. verify if mic works in aucat), but if anyone has got this working before, I'd love to hear what tweaks they had to do. Could be that the jitsi server is overloaded. Thanks -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk

getty vs. ttyU0
Hi all,
I'm trying to get a USB->serial adapter serving a login prompt via getty.
Here's the converter in question:
---8<---
uftdi0 at uhub3 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "FTDI FT232R USB UART" rev
2.00/6.00 addr 2
ucom0 at uftdi0 portno 1
--->8---
The following line in /etc/ttys:
---8<---
ttyU0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on
--->8---
Reboot, no login prompt on the client, even after liberally hammering enter.
This is the same as what happened using a prolific cable, but I had assumed
this was a hardware bug, but now I'm not so sure! I know the above procedure
works fine on a Soekris (just using tty00 in place of ttyU0).
Debugging further, manually echoing ASCII down the line using cuaU0 works fine.
I then ran getty under ktrace:
---8<---
ktrace /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyU0

It looks to me like opening the device is hanging:

chown(ttyn, 0, 0);
chmod(ttyn, 0600);
revoke(ttyn);

https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/libexec/getty/main.c?rev=1.51=text/x-cvsweb-markup
Nothing else has the serial line open (but it shouldn't matter anyway, as getty
uses revoke(2) on the device).
---8<---
# fstat | grep ttyU0
# fstat | grep cuaU0

This little C program hangs too (stoppnig getty first obviously):
---8<---
#include
#include
#include
int
main(void)
{
printf("opening\n");
if (open("/dev/ttyU0", O_RDWR) == -1)
err(1, "open");
printf("open ok\n");
}
--->8---
When I kill the program with CTRL+C, a newline is sent to the client.
And the behaviour is the same for a:
```
uplcom0 at uhub3 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "Prolific Technology PL2303
Serial" rev 1.10/2.02 addr 2
ucom0 at uplcom0
```
The above C program does not hang on Soekris using /dev/tty00.
I can repro on 6.4-stable/amd64 and -current/amd64.
I'm out of ideas, so can anyone think of any reason why open(2) on /dev/ttyU0
might block indefinitely?

How should vmm hosts access the internet?
Hi, Since vmm is now enabled, I thought I would have a play. So far so good, but I've not managed to get the host on the internet yet. If I set up a vmm VM on my laptop, we have on the host: * iwn0 providing internet access to the host * tap0 connected to vio0 in the guest. What is the reccommended way to give the guest internet access via iwn0? I thought I could bridge the interfaces using bridge(4), but it seems I am wrong. (I have a vague recollection that a bridge involving a wireless interface doesn't do as one might expect, but I don't recall the exact details). (I also tried routing between the two interfaces, using static addresses for tap0 and vio0, then adding a default route in the guest and a static route in the host. I was able to ping between the host and guest via tap, but I couldn't ping between subnets.) (Yep, I have net.inet.ip.forwarding=1). Cheers -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk

However, I don't think this is what I am experiencing. When I started having problems I switched the VM into "legacy mode". Once I did this, vio0 became em0, and the problem persisted.

Freezing VMs on Bytemark Hosting
Hi, This is very much off-topic, and a long shot. I have a VM hosted at Bytemark, which seems to have started freezing about once a week. It stops responding to the network, and if I bring up the console, I see the login prompt with a flashing cursor, but it is not responsive to key-presses. I have a support ticket open, but we are not sure if it's an OpenBSD problem, or something on their end. The VM is running 5.9-stable with all patches applied. FWIW, Bytemark uses KVM + Qemu, so this question may extend to ARP networks VMs too(?). Wondering if anyone else here is hosting on Bytemark (or ARP) and had a similar issue, or even a workaround. Like I said, long shot. Cheers -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk

After the first boot, fw_update will get the firmware for it, and then it should work just fine. It's not the availability of the firmware that bothers me about Intel wireless. I have had laptops with iwi and iwn cards (thinkpads) and I found that the firmware crashes frequently. I have always swapped them out for ral, ath or urtwn. All Lenovo systems have a BIOS whitelist of permitted wireless cards, although for many laptop models that turns out to be only variants of iwn anyway. misc/tpwireless ;) I am more interested in the touchscreen support at this stage.

quick nfs question: r/w issues on different disk
Hi, I have here an NFS server which will only serve up read-write exports when they are on /dev/wd0a. I tried for ages to serve up a path under /vol/tomb (which is on /dev/wd1b) and clients are told the fs is read-only upon attempting to write. Serving up from /nports is fine. /nports -alldirs -mapall=edd:users -network=192.168.1 -mask=255.255.255.0 /dev/wd0a on / type ffs (NFS exported, local) /dev/wd0d on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd1b on /vol/tomb type ffs (NFS exported, local, nodev, nosuid) Why would this be? I can't see anything in the exports manual page regarding nodev or nosuid. I am sure I have served up nfs from 1 disk on the same system before... Or maybe not.

I can mount the cd after booting to openbsd and see the contents of the cd, I thought that might be a helpful piece of information. How are you booting the cdrom? Usually 'boot cdrom' is enough, but you may have messed up your device aliases. You could try 'show-disks', select the cdrom, then type 'boot ' followed by CTRL+Y. This should insert the full hardware address of the cdrom. Try this then if that does not work, try adding ':f' on the end. Having said that, the u5 may have an old openboot version with no show-disks support. Failing this, try a netboot? PS.

As you can see, the mouse and camera are happy, the display itself is not.

X11 on a Sun Blade 1000 - Repeating keys
Hi, I reported this issue on a tech@ (i think) a while back and it still seems to exist. I hope here on misc, I might reach more users with Sun systems. When using X11 on my system, after a while keys will begin to stick, as if they are being held down, even though I am not touching the keyboard. It makes the system unusable in X, and also makes the system slow, I guess dealing with all those keyboard interrupts. I ruled out the possibility of a hardware fault with: a) Same happening with a new KB/mouse. b) Not happening on Solaris 10 on same system. I was really hoping to take this machine with me to my next Univeristy, but it seems a non-X11 system for everyday use is a bit unrealistic :( Has anyone seen this or got any idea what could be happening? I suspect a bug in the tty or ffb driver, which I believe are quite tightly integrated on Sun systems (?). I am no expert, just guessing. I did not get this problem on an Ultra 10, when I owned one. DMESG attached.

XBox360 streaming?
Hi, Has anyone suceeded in streaming video to their xbox from an OpenBSD server? I have a port of pupnp, which i used with ushare. Sure, the xbox could see the share, but the server exits as you are about to play anything. I am trying mediatomb in a freebsd virtual machine, and if it works I may attempt a port, but it has loads of deps. Alternatives might be Gmediastreamer or fuppes, but whether they work with the xbox 360, who knows... -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
relayd on one interface/network
Hi,
I am trying to set up a redirect (on a local lan) using relayd (using
external websites for now as a test):
The relay is on a soekris running 4.4-release. Only one interface is
up on the soekris (sis0).
Relayd.conf:
---8---
table sites {bmth.ac.uk, xe.com}
#relay fun-sites {
#listen on 192.168.99.11 port
#forward to sites port http check tcp mode roundrobin
#}
redirect s1 {
sticky-address
listen on 192.168.99.11 port
forward to sites port http check tcp mode roundrobin
}
---8---
pf.conf:
---8---
rdr-anchor relayd/*
anchor relayd/*
pass in
pass out
---8---
The (now commented) relay works, but is unpredictable due to the need
for sticky-address, which is why i switched to layer 3, but alas the
redirect does not succeed.
---8---
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.99.11:.
Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.
---8---
PF is ofcourse enabled and rules are loaded.
Using tcpdump i see the client http request go in sis0 but never
anywhere from there.
I'm assuming you don't *need* to have 2 interfaces on a nat to use a
redirect in this way?
Thanks for reading.

You might get it working using the sun framebuffer driver, but it may not be accelerated. I think the only accelerated cards in these are the ATI based ones. I'm not sure if the XVR-1000 is.

Re: The correct way to use bsd.rd

Reading the FAQ I found out that the official way to follow current more or less closely is to build a ramdisk image(or download a bsd.rd image from the servers) and boot from that. However, when I place my newly generated image in / and boot from it, it tells me that it lacks a root filesystem. Obviously it is lacking a ramdisk, but I don't know where to get that from and I have been unable to find the appropriate manpage or piece of documentation. Could you please point it out to me? Thank you If you just want to follow -current, you just install either a release or a snapshots and then build the -current source. Thats it, you are -current, you only need bsd.rd if thats your initial install method, and you certainly dont need to make your own. Also note that you can just use binary snapshots and not ever build any source, *but* strictly speaking that is not -current, as extra experimental patches go into snaps. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
