producing SHA256 & release(8)?

2016-07-12 Thread James Hartley
Before proposing a diff, I need clarification.

The release(8) manpage states:

"xenocara uses DESTDIR and RELEASEDIR as described above.
While they may be set to the values used to build the rest of the
system, be aware that the existing contents of DESTDIR will be
removed as part of the xenocara build (this is necessary for
release checklist processing)."

Building the system release collects the SHA256 values of each fileset in
(traditionally) /usr/rel/SHA256.  This can be seen in /usr/src/etc/Makefile
as:

cksum -a sha256 BUILDINFO INSTALL.`arch -ks` \
${ALL_KERNELS} ${MDEXT} ${MISETS} | sort > SHA256

Building xenocara's release will overwrite the existing /usr/rel/SHA256
with the
SHA256 values of its base installation filesets if the same value of
$RELEASEDIR is used.  This can be seen in /usr/xenocara/Makefile:

 cksum -a sha256 x*tgz > SHA256

While this is not a showstopper & can easily be worked around, it seems
there is a mismatch between what the code does & what the manpage
specifies.  Is the intent now that building the system & xenocara releases
be done in separate directories, or should redirection be changed to
appending in the code?

Thanks!

The defaults, which are based on the size of the disk, are simply that --
arbitrary values chosen to take care of general usage.  Since you mention
/usr/src, /usr/xenocara,  /usr/ports, you might be building the system, or
you might simply want to install source for study.  Your goals are unclear,
so to advise as to what sizes you need are also unclear.

If your goals is to build a substantial number of ports, /usr/ports/pobj
may need to be tens of gigabytes in size.

I could try to write a simple patch for it.


At the beginning of the installer, you are given the choice of accepting
the defaults as presented, or choose a custom layout which will allow the
creation of partitions of any allowable size.  No patch is needed or
necessary.  The tools provided have the flexibility you need/desire.

Correct.

However, you can't seem to fully account for the status of the downloaded
tree.  So as Ingo, I would treat whatever you currently have on your system
as suspect.  Personally, I would recommend getting the tree again as you
could be in the weeds wasting a lot of time.

Likewise, if you study the check-in history for Firefox:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/mozilla-firefox/Makefile

You will see that the OPENBSD_5_0 tag at revision 1.187.  Firefox 6.0
wasn't checked into the ports tree until 1.188.  This means that for
Firefox 5 is the only version available to OpenBSD 5.0-release  -stable.
If you want a newer version, you will have to run -current.

 Also, would it be a bad idea to use both Ports and Packages?

You don't seem to understand how the packages/ports system works.  The
output of compiling ports is packages -- the very same packages which can
be found on the mirrors.  So there is nothing to be gained by compiling
ports for -release or -stable unless there have been security fixes or
other changes checked into the ports tree.  The above link show both
OPENBSD_5_0  OPENBSD_5_0_BASE tags on revision 1.187 of the Makefile used
to build the Firefox port so nothing has changed for 5.0-release or -stable
since 5.0 was released.  All changes to Firefox, versions 6.0, 7.0,  8.0,
have taken place in -current only.

 * If I do it from the existing openbsd in my drive, /dev/sd0a, I get

It is not clear from your narrative what is the device node for your hard
drive.  The FAQ boldly warns following the dd(1) command:

 Note: this is a really good time to remind you that blindly typing
 commands in you don't understand is a really bad idea. This line will
 not work directly on most computers. It is left to the reader to adapt
 it to their machine.

There is no way that the FAQ can anticipate whether users will have IDE,
SCSI, or SATA hard drives, so some investigation must occur on your part to
determine whether the hard drive used is wd(4) or sd(4).  One of the easiest
ways to find the answer is to search through the output of dmesg(8).  On my
older Thinkpad, I get:

$ dmesg | grep sd
sd0 at scsibus2 targ 1 lun 0: Corsair, Flash Voyager, 1.00 ATAPI 0/direct
removable
sd0: 978MB, 512 bytes/sec, 2002944 sec total
sd0 detached
$

...which gives details on a USB flash drive which had been attached at one
time, and:

$ dmesg | grep wd
wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: HTS541060G9AT00
wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 57231MB, 117210240 sectors
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5
$

...which is my actual hard drive in my laptop.  What you will find may be
entirely different (including the appended number to the end of the
device...), but the driver reported must be reflected in the dd(1) command
used.  If I wanted to create the PBR for my laptop, I would use the
following:

# dd if=/dev/rwd0a of=openbsd.pbr bs=512 count=1

If I were to blindly ( incorrectly) run the command stated in the FAQ, I
would get the error Device not configured.  You mention device busy.
Did you run this command as root (which is the meaning of the # shell
prompt...)?

* If I boot with the cd rom neither msdos nor ntfs are available so I
 can't write the .pbr file to an accessible place from windows.
 * If I boot with the cd rom and write the .pbr file in the bsd filesystem,
 I can't read it from windows 7 (I couldn't find a program to mount bsd
 filesystems which works with windows 7).


You haven't thought through the ramifications of the MBR active flag.  The
MBR contains entries for four possible primary partitions.  Only one of them
will be marked active.  When the system is next booted, the BIOS will search
through these four entries to determine which primary partition will be
searched for an operating system.  Boot managers are simply elaborate
gimmicks to easily set the active flag.  fdisk(8) can be used to change the
active partition.  In fact, you could use OpenBSD's fdisk(8) to change the
MBR's active flag to next boot Windows,  bcdedit (as I recall...) within
Windows to change the active flag to next boot OpenBSD, but this is
laborious.

If you chose whole disk when prompted with the following question during
installation:

Use (W)hole disk or (E)dit the MBR?

...the active flag will have been set automatically for OpenBSD's
partition.  If (E)dit is chosen, you can set it manually to whatever
partition you wish.  Also, if you chose whole disk, I can only hope you
backed up your Windows partition as it may not be there now.

Studying the FAQ before attempting multibooting as a newcomer is required.
Thinking is too.


 Does anybody have a solution to any of these problems or a 4th way?


The biggest problem seen in your message is a failure to grasp the nuances
of the boot process or the needed commands.  You can overcome this, but it
will require attention to detail  tenacity.

 I had the impression that the command:

 C:\Windows\system32 bcdedit /set {0154a872-3d41-11de-bd67-
a7060316bbb1}
path \openbsd.pbr

 requires that the openbsd.pbr file is at located at the root of c:\. Am I
 wrong?

This is correct.  As I recall, Windows 7 has less restrictions on where the
PBR is located, but for the purpose of the FAQ, putting the PBR in C:\ is
fine.  bcdedit simply needs to be instructed as to its location.

Also recognize that the GUID used in the commands issues on your computer
are system-dependent.  Don't simply cut-and-paste from the FAQ.  Doing so
will result in a misconfigured boot manager.

Good luck.

Truncated.


   I know the rigth thing is to declare the variable 'foo' on a header

No, this is incorrect.  It is a poor idea to declare variables within header
files.  This bad practice will lead to linker errors due to duplicate
definitions.

One solution is to define all global variables in a single *.c file  place
extern statements to each of these global variables in a header file which
can then be included as many times in as many places as you choose.  Here,
all global variables are defined only once which is required.

By looking at the head of dmesg(8) output or by the following command:

that is mentioned is OpenBSD 4.6, you are running -release.  -stable or

 I don't know where you got the idea that you can build the OpenBSD
 system without updating the system you're building on, but doing so is
 not commonly done and not tested by the developers.


Section 5.3.2 gave me the impression that -current systems could be brought
up to date simply by updating source followed by building.  From what you
are saying, this was incorrect.  I should always do a binary upgrade to the
latest snapshot first.  I was not aware of this.  Thanks for the
clarification.


 So, you now have two options:
 1) continue to try to figure out how to make such builds work,
 2) just use the method that the developers use.

multiple connections to GPS device?

2008-03-06 Thread James Hartley
Is it possible to watch the NMEA traffic originating from a USB GPS
device *while* attached via nmeaattach(8)?

Once nmeaattach(8) has attached to the device, any subsequent
connection attempted via cu(1) fails with an all ports busy message.
 The manpage for cu(1) states that connections are locked for UUCP
integrity reasons, so I'm guessing that nmeaattach(8) is doing
something similar (Sorry, I haven't traced the code yet...).

Is there some other manner in which I can tap into this connection?

Thanks for any insight shared.

Jim

 Maybe you're hitting the limit of the USB power output?

Anecdotally, I have a laptop IDE drive enclosure with a USB interface,
 the supplied cable has *two* Series A USB connectors in order to
provide sufficient power to the drive.  On occasion, I have forgotten
to plug one connector in,  sometimes it works, but other times it is
apparent by the sound that the drive is having problems spinning at a

configuring ntpd to use GPS

2007-10-04 Thread James Hartley
After reading the manpages for ntpd(8), ntpd.conf(5),  nmeaattach(8),
I thought I had enough information to use a USB GPS device as a time
source.

In /etc/ntpd.conf, the only line left enabled is:

sensor cuaU0

In /etc/rc.conf.local, the only lines are:

nmeaattach cuaU0
ntpd_flags=

Yet upon reboot, I see the following message displayed during initialization:

nmeaattach: open: /dev/cuaU0: Device busy

I can observe the NMEA sentence traffic through cu(1), so it is
unclear what I have missed.  Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 that doesn't look right. from my rc.conf.local

Okay, I now have in /etc/rc.conf.local:

nmeaattach_flags=-s 4800 cuaU0

As I understand, this GPS device is not programmable, so I can't
enable a PPS signal.  Upon reboot, I see the following message
displayed during initialization:

starting initial daemons: nmeaattachnmeaattach: open: /dev/cuaU0:

 that looks like something else has opened cuaU0 before nmeaattach got
 there. see what that is:

 fstat /dev/cuaU0

I'm seeing nothing:

$ fstat /dev/cuaU0

I should mention this is using the 22 Sep Sparc64 snapshot on a Sun Ultra 10.

 When you use cu or tip directly on the serial line, do you see any NMEA

Thanks to both you Marc  Otto.  Your comments have helped with a number of
questions.  I'm currently questioning the power supplied to the Garmin which
I will get to tomorrow.  For now, I've gone back to my T43 laptop where I
have a USB Delorme GPS LT-20.  I can now see the sensor as well as NMEA
sentences through cu there.

Three questions.

I'm still not seeing anything appear in /var/log/daemon.  How soon should
log messages appear?

From the archives, I remember a statement made that without a pulse per
second (PPS) signal, a GPS unit would only be able to minimally coordinate
the time through ntpd.  This statement was also made in reference to a USB
unit.  Are PPS signals inherent to all GPS units but are lost through an USB
interface?  Is there something within the NMEA sentence traffic which should
tell me that I have a PPS signal?

Thanks again for your clarifications.



verifying ntp via GPS configuration?

2007-04-11 Thread James Hartley
I have questionable ntp foo,  searching through the misc@ archives along
with reading the FAQ has only gotten me so far.  I have a Garmin 18 GPS:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000196BW6/104-8542380-5084714

...which is connected to the serial port of a Sun Ultra 10.  I am unable to
determine whether I'm stylin' or out in the weeds when it comes to
configuring ntp via GPS:

# nmeaattach cua00
# ntpd -ds 
[1] 30616
# ntp engine ready
sensor nmea0 added

...which appears fine as does ps' output:

USER   PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ   RSS TT   STAT STARTED   TIME COMMAND
...

...

However, searching for the associated sensor didn't generate any warm 
fuzzies:

# sysctl hw

hw.product=Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI
#

...and the only message emitted to stdout/stderr is:

# no reply received in time, skipping initial time setting

Looking at /var/log/daemon only shows:

configuring APM on Thinkpad T43?

2007-04-06 Thread James Hartley
Upon booting, I have always seen APM connect errors, but assumed that this
was because I had never configured it.  After looking at the manpages for
APM(4)  APM(8) on OpenBSD 4.0, it looked like all I needed to do is enable
apmd through /etc/rc.conf.  I wasn't seeing any entry in dmesg before
editing /etc/rc.conf,  I'm still not seeing entries for apm0 afterwards.
According to the laptop page:

http://openbsd.org/i386-laptop.html

Thinkpad T43's support APM, however I'm seeing some hits on DaemonNews
stating T43's have problems with APM on FreeBSD.  I'm not seeing anything in
the BIOS settings which toggle support, so I'm guessing whatever interface
is present is enabled.  Does anyone have any experience on what I can do to
configure APM?  dmesg on OpenBSD 4.0 follows:

The numbering of the FAQ sections proceeds through 1 - 15 excluding 11.
Is there a historical reason for skipping section 11?

Re: X11 Issue - Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 900 Graphics (Intel 915GM)

2006-04-09 Thread James Hartley
I ran into this on a Thinkpad T43 with a GMA900 adapter.  I simply used
the xorg.conf created when installing 3.7 which simply specifies a
generic VGA/VESA adapter.  As I remember when researching this matter,
the GMA900 driver is new and problematic.  Given that I run 3.8 too, I
don't know if the driver in 3.9 resolves this or not.

Subject: X11 Issue - Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 900 Graphics
(Intel 915GM)

I recently installed OpenBSD 3.8 (I haven't received my 3.9 CD in the
mail yet), and am having problems getting X to work (among other
things).

It's a Dell Inspiron 1300 notebook w/ Integrated Intel Media
Accelerator 900 Graphics (Intel 915GM). The full dmesg is below.

So, quick question. I noticed the following bullet on the OpenBSD 3.9
release page. Could this be my problem? That is, is it referring to
the same Intel 915 as my graphics? Clueless, I know - sorry.

- Support the Intel i915 AGP

I've tried following the instructions in /usr/X11R6/README, using the
various X wizards (xorgcfg, xorgconfig, xf86config3), and
/etc/sysctl.conf has machdep.allowaperture set to 2 because I answered
yes to the X question during the install.

I also tried copying over the XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files that
were generated by a KNOPPIX live-CD that worked on the same box, but
that didn't work either.

Thanks.

 RTFM!

 MSDOS is ALWAYS ALWAYS 'i' in disklabel even if the whole drive is 
 formated as FAT!
 Thus try with /dev/sd0i

 disklabel sd0 should have told you that.

As stated in the original message, NOTHING is being reported by

mounting MS-DOS disk in a USB floppy drive?

2005-10-08 Thread James Hartley
I'm unable to mount a MS-DOS disk within a USB floppy drive on 
OpenBSD 3.7/i386.

The following is both displayed and written to dmesg:

8
umass0 at uhub1 port2 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: CITIZEN XIDE-USB, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2

disklabel doesn't recognize the MS-DOS filesystem either:

8
$ disklabel sd0
#/dev/rsd0c
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512

16 partitions:
# size   offset  fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
  c: 10  unused  0 0 # Cyl0 -   0*
disklabel: cylinders/unit 0
8

...and if fact, provides the same output whether the floppy disk has 
inserted into the USB drive or not.  Having the floppy disk inserted
into the drive prior to connecting to the USB port doesn't change
this output either.  

Obviously attempting to mount (regardless of partition used) doesn't 
work:

8
$ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/rsd0c /mnt
mount_msdos: /dev/rsd0c on /mnt: Block device required
8

Is this drive not supported or what am I not gleaning here?  Thanks.
