how to switch the base compiler to gcc 4.4.2
Hi: How does one switch the base compiler to gcc 4.4.2 ? Here is some info for my setup: . running DragonFly 2.7-DEVELOPMENT v2.7.0.47.g3f16d (HEAD as of April 4, 2010). . the HEAD was built with CCVER=gcc44 for - buildworld - buildkernel - installkernel - installworld - upgrade . /usr/libexec/gcc44 directory has CC c++ c++filt cc cc1obj cc1plus cpp g++ gcc gcov . have setup the following entries in /etc/make.conf CCVER=gcc44 CC=gcc44 CXX=g++44 CPP=cpp44 CFLAGS+=-mssse3 i donot see any /etc/libmap.conf (as seen in FreeBSD) which needs to be tweaked for rtld and ldd. Any pointers as to how to make gcc 4.4.2 as the base compiler for my custom DragonFlyBSD system on AMD64 box ? -- thanks Saifi.
bootloader does not load up (erratic behaviour)
Hi: Installed March 29th snapshot of DragonFlyBSD on AMD64 X64_64 box with [x] boot blocks [x] packet mode On repeated reboots, the boot loader does not load up (erratic behaviour) and the following error is seen 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a Key As i mention, this behaviour is erratic, so sometimes a soft reboot (Ctrl-Alt-Del) helps and sometimes it doesn't.

I'm working on adding a check if the outside IP address changing to be able to reload the firewall if it uses it.

install to USB disk
Hi: Here is the usecase i'm trying to explore during the installation. I power cycle the laptop and select ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM device. the BTX loader and the DragonFlyBSD installer starts. . DragonFlyBSD CD in the CD-tray . 160GB USB disk attached to laptop . Main laptop disk not touched. Now attempt to install DragonFlyBSD to the attached USB disk and *not* the main laptop disk. However, the installer shows only the main disk. Is there a way to install DragonFlyBSD to the USB disk ? (a manual approach would also be fine). Anybody tried this ? -- thanks Saifi.
boot from USB disk
Hi: DragonFlyBSD was installed on a SATA disk which was part of the system. After installation the system booted up fine. The system was shutdown and the SATA disk was removed and placed in a USB disk enclosure. Now the system was powered on and 'boot from USB boot disk' was selected. The BTX loader worked, so did the initial boot up sequence until the step of mounting the partition, where it panic'd at the 'root mount'. Is there a workaround to fix this issue ? -- thanks Saifi.

some git usage related queries
Hi: Here are some git usage related newbie queries. 1. i read a notification about a new commit eg. pkgsrc commit http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/pkgsrc.git/commit/4ceab3c0055ed6bdacff399294ff8ef253b99468 Since i maintain a local git repo for pkgsrc, i'd like to know the diff between what i got and what's in the latest commit. What command do i run locally to see the diff ? 2. i've pulled in latest commits using 'git pull'. While working with local repository, i want to know the diff between the last commit and the latest commit for a given file eg. nrelease/Makefile. what i tried doing was: # cd /usr/src # cd nrelease # git diff HEAD^ HEAD ./Makefile # This doesn't work. What is the correct approach here ? 3. after pulling in the changes related to Sascha's commit eg. when i tried this command: # git describe 5623ae32853fcfb747f493ea6af0059a56fb9b56 v2.5.1-200-g5623ae3 This doesn't show up the details of the commit. What would be the appropriate command to use ? 4. i apply some patches to a given file eg. Stathis' patch for mq*() syscall for MPSAFE # cd /usr/src # fetch http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~beket/mq-mpsafe.diff # git apply mq-mpsafe.diff Ideally i should have created a branch and then apply the patch. However, i applied the patch to the master. Some new files are created and some .bak files created. When i 'git pull' next, there are issues. What is a good practice to adopt here ? Is there also something as 'unapply' a patch in git ? i've readup Pragmatic version control with Git and GitUsage documentation in the wiki. So, while i can get around with basic Git commands, i'm still facing issues. i'd be grateful, if some of experienced folks on the project can share their nuggets of wisdom on this. Thanks for any help. thanks Saifi.

remote branches
Hi: Subsequent to a fresh DragonFly BSD 2.4.1 installation on AMD64 X2 box, i did the following steps to pull in the source code as i did not want to use the Makefile. # cd /usr # mkdir src # cd src # git init # git remote add origin git://git.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git # git pull origin HEAD Is this the recommended approach ? Additionally, when i try to view the 'remote' branches # git branch -r there are none seen. Is this something to be worried about ?

Symptom was an i9XX that was previously automagically handled w/o need of a conf file stalling with 'unable' vs prior art falling back to VESA if all else failed. Taming it with conf file entries quickly became tedious, and was of no interest in a constantly-changing workshop of portable storage devices, so I've simply backleveled until the Xorg community recover their automagicality. NB: These are changes in the Xorg 'containership' - not the host OS, have been extent for quite a while now, BUT AFAIK not relevant to other-than i8XX / i9xx Intel VGA. On one of my laptops, i'm running FreeBSD freebsd 8.0-CURRENT-200906 and it has a Intel 945GM chipset. Xorg 1.6.x is running absolutely fine ! Tested it with both KDE 3.5.10 and DWM.

make, bmake and gmake
Hi: Is there a difference between 'make' and 'bmake' on DragonFly BSD 2.4.1 ? i noticed that /usr/pkgsrc/ builds require 'bmake' eg. to compile /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gmake while 'make' crashes out with many errors. Additionally, /usr/src/test/amd64/ system tests require 'gmake'. A quick check of the man pages shows make : make(1) DragonFly 2.4 March 30, 2005 bmake: make(1) DragonFly 2.4 September 7, 2009 Can the more experienced folks, share their perspective on which make is recommended to be used ? thanks Saifi.

how to apply patches on a system that doesnot have functional network device ?
Hi: Here is a situation that i'm facing on a Compaq C301TU laptop. The NIC card (Realtek) does not work due to driver issue. The WLAN card (Broadcom) does not work due to driver issue. Currently, i review the possible patch visually on an identical laptop (running FreeBSD-8) and then type out the code on the other laptop in sys/dev/netif/rl/if_rl.c file.

Format / layout related . is a .GIF file accepted as a image file or does one need to strictly adhere to .PNG/.JPG format ? . are IFRAME allowed to be inserted in the pages ? . are video DIV allowed to be used directly in the pages ? (the user sees a youtube like video screen and can click to see the video) . are modifications allowed to the local.css CSS file ? . are page style template changes allowed ? 2. Content related . can the technical content be written from a DragonFlyBSD promotional angle ? . what is the recommended div tag class for code/configuration snippets ? . when referring to source code in DragonFlyBSD repository, should a hyperlink be placed for the file or can the code be loaded in an IFRAME ? . is there a attic to move the old/expired content ? 3. Widget/Link related . is it allowed to associate service widgets like - sharethis / bookmark this widget . are links to DragonFlyBSD groups on Facebook, twitter timelines allowed on website ? . subdomain cleanup (eg. wiki.) policy. Thank you for your time. thanks Saifi.
Acer Aspire One D150 ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Hi: Downloaded LATEST-i386-master.img and then wrote it to USB pen drive using the command # dd if=LATEST-i386-master.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m The Acer Aspire One D150 Netbook (currently running Gentoo) was booted from the USB pen drive. Hardware specs of the netbook device are at http://twincling.org/node/451 The DragonFlyBSD installer screen was presented and on selecting either 'Verbose logging' or 'disable ACPI' or 'Safe mode' had the following issue.

Dell Latitude D620 boot, hangs at isa_probe_children : probing PnP devices
Hi: Booting a Dell Latitude D620 with LATEST-i386-master.img from a USB pen drive boots up fine with the selection screen and it runs till it reaches the following line ... isa_probe_children : probing PnP devices ... The boot process seems to then hang at this point. Th system specs are: Dell Latitude D620 BIOS version A05 Intel Core Duo processor Dual Core = Yes / 1.66 GHz DDR2 SDRAM 1280 MB Intel 945GM Graphics Intel Pro Wireless 60GB WD HDD The laptop is more than 3 yrs old and i was hoping that DragonFlyBSD should boot up fine on this device. Q: Is there a work around to this issue ? An additional observation here is: if the device is booted with 'ACPI disabled' the root mount fails. This is identical to what i reported for Acer Aspire One. Q: Can some of the experienced folks share their insight as to why disabling ACPI causes ffs_mountroot to fail ? thanks Saifi.

Does the attached patch work for you?

Hi Sephe:
Thanks for sending in the patch. i applied the patch to 2.4.1
src/sys/dev/netif/if_rl.c .
After compiling the native kernel, the device is detected and
attached.
The dmesg log shows the following lines:
rl0.pci8.pcib3.pci0.pcib0.legacy0.nexus0.root0
rl0: RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX [tentative] port 0x2000-0x20ff

mem 0xd010-0xd01000ff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci8
This looks promising and so i try to run a DHCP client.
# dhclient rl0
and an IP address 10.10.10.7 is assigned
bound to 10.10.10.7 -- renewal in 43200 seconds
#ifconfig rl0
shows the ether as ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and inet as 10.10.10.7
Now, if i run the DHCP client again,
#dhclient rl0
another DHCP offer is received and a new IP address 10.10.10.8
is assigned
To summarize, everytime i run 'dhclient rl0' a new DHCP IP
address is assigned but no traffic is seen while pinging the
dateway..
This looks like a bug in the driver code.
Perhaps the fact that the ether MAC continues to be
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff suggests that we may need to extract the
ethernet address as well.
i've a laptop with identical hardware, running FreeBSD
8-CURRENT-200906 (ie. this one, used to write this mail)
and the following lines are seen in the driver code
src/sys/pci/if_rl.c
...
if (sc-rl_type == 0) {
device_printf(dev, unknown device ID: %x assuming 8139\n,
rl_did);
sc-rl_type = RL_8139;
/*
* Read RL_IDR register to get ethernet address as accessing
* EEPROM may not extract correct address.
*/
for (i = 0; i ETHER_ADDR_LEN; i++)
eaddr[i] = CSR_READ_1(sc, RL_IDR0 + i);
}
...
What do you think ?
thanks

I think you're confused about what a tag is in git. Basically it is just an alias for a specific state of the repository. When you do a 'git pull', it will update all the tags for you. I think want you're getting at is wanting a specific branch. The DragonFly_RELEASE_2_4 branch will get you the latest 2.4 code. --Peter Thanks Peter for your reply. What is the purpose of the .git/ directory in /usr/src at the time the user installs DragonFlyBSD from the DVD ? This artifact is not seen in the DragonFlyBSD CD i386 or AMD64. If the user needs the source code, (s)he can very well follow approach 1: as outlined at http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/developer/TypicalGitUsage/ or approach 2: run the Makefile (in /usr directory) and target 'src-create' thanks Saifi.

how to add v2.4.1 tag to .git/ dir
Hi: On installing DragonFly 2.4.1 from the DVD, there is a .git/ directory that is created in /usr/src. Running the command 'git tag' does not show 'v2.4.1' v2.0.1 v2.1.1 v2.2.0 v2.2.1 v2.3.0 v2.3.1 v2.4.0 how do i add 'v2.4.1' tag to .git/ so that i can later do a 'git pull' ? or is the following approach recommended ? cd /usr rm -rf src make src-create (however i suspect DragonFly_RELEASE_2_4 would get pulled in which is not 2.4.1). Perhaps the purpose of leaving a .git/ directory was that the user can add the new tags and then pull in code corresponding to the tag eg. v2.4.1 as needed. Can somebody share the perspective on this ? thanks Saifi.

If you had done a full rebuild of DragonFly previously (ie, upgraded from a previous version), your world would allready be built, and you could just build a custom kernel.

If you look at avalon.dragonflybsd.org, you will see there's directories by architecture (i386 or amd64) and version (DragonFly-2.2, DragonFly-2.4, etc.) In general, you can use the number you see from uname -r as a guide. What you have installed should say something like 2.4 or 2.4.0, so the 2.4 packages will work. 2.4.1 packages are also acceptable. Packages will generally work, even if it was built for a different release. Occasionally there are version differences that will affect that, like between 2.3.0 and 2.3.1, but those are an exception rather than the rule. Some of the material on avalon is actually built for other versions, and the separate directories are just linked together. pkg_radd will automatically go to the right directory and download the appropriate software for you. e.g. 'pkg_radd vim'. You may get a warning that the software was built for 2.4.1 and you are on 2.4.0 or something similar, but it's a harmless warning. The 'stable' link in each directory goes to the newest set of quarterly packages available; I'm not building pkgsrc-current right now. I (or someone) may in the future; quarterly releases usually have the most working packages so those are the best first targets. Justin thank you for taking out time to highlight that quarterly pkgsrc binary build have the best chance of compatibility and stability. Your mail would be a great reference for many a newbie like me, who are migrating from portage, pacman or ports. thanks Saifi.

Re: pkgsrc builds for 2009Q3/i386 started
On Sun, 11 Oct 2009, Justin C. Sherrill wrote: I have pkgsrc bulk builds for pkgsrc-2009Q3 started on avalon and df.v12.su, which should result in binary packages for 2.4 and 2.5 (on i386) showing up in the appropriate directories on http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages in about a week. Going by Hasso's requests for changes, reports from the builds should be uploaded to http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/reports too. I don't have signing set up yet, but I will do that as soon as I know reports are being reliably created and uploaded. Hi Justin: Thats an awesome initiative from your side. If one is working with a daily snapshot version, what is the recommended way to pull in binary packages eg. editor, debugger, irc client etc ? or is it like, lets say i'm using 20091015 snapshot and since 2.4.1 was released on 20090930, hence one can use binary packages for 2.4 ? i'm leaning towards asking if there is something like a 'current' binary pkgsrc build envisaged or one should pull in the pkgsrc-2009Q3 meta package (FreeBSD ports of Gentoo portage like) and compile out the stuff one needs. thanks Saifi.
dfly-gui DVD mount issue : incorrect superblock
Hi: i downloaded the dfly-gui-2.4.1_REL DVD and burnt a DVD using growisofs on my FreeBSD system. On booting up on Compaq C301TU laptop, the DVD is not mounted and the system falls to the FreeBSD boot prompt. So, i downloaded the 2.4.1 CD and burnt a CD. this one loads up absolutely fine and i could install DragonFlyBSD 2.4.1 OS. Offcourse, the Realtek NIC issue i mentioned earlier is still there (but thats for another thread). Now, i tried to mount the dfly 2.4.1 DVD again and the following error is seen. mount: /dev/acd0 on /mnt: incorrect super block I downloaded the .ISO image once again and burnt another DVD with the help of a friend using ImgBurn and i still get the same error. Can some of the experienced folks share, what could i be missing here ? thanks Saifi.
how install only the base system from the DVD
Hi: Is there a way to install only the base system from the DVD ? By base system i mean . kernel . userland shell . basic tools and . source code to support 'make buildworld'. Currently, using the CD, it is impossible to 'make buildworld' in case the NIC card is not detected. Any suggestions ? thanks Saifi.

Re: DragonFly 2.4.1 Released!
On Thu, 1 Oct 2009, Erik Wikstr?m wrote: My proposal is that instead of releasing the code as X.Y.0 first make a X.Y.0 RC (Release Candidate). While the RC might not see as much usage you make a valid point. Now for the same users, it may be a good idea to make the tag more search friendly as well. Perhaps something like x.y-rc and thus a .0 release has a clean tag 2.4.0 for example and search engine results are cleaner, since they are not littered with 2.4.0-RC and 2.4.0-RC2 etc. What do you think ? thanks Saifi. Ps. special thanks to the DragonFlyBSD team for making the AMD64 release.

Im not a C programmer, but can I get some clues on how to fix this?
By the way, any ideas why Ruby 1.9 isnt yet in pkgsrc nor in pkgsrc-wip?
Its in FreeBSD ports and works very well. I searched through netbsd
mailing lists and couldnt find an answer. Ruby 1.9.1 is production ready.
Thanks,

RMagick 2.x requires Ruby 1.8.x at a minimum.

namei.h query
Hi all:
Here is a newbie query regarding the code in namei.h
In DragonflyBSD, sys/sys/namei.h
struct componentname
{
...
...
long cn_consume; /* chars to consume in lookup */
...
};
and
in FreeBSD RELENG_4, sys/sys/namei.h
struct componentname
{
...
...
char *cn_pnbuf; /* pathname buffer */
...
...
};
What is the advantage of the DragonflyBSD approach in this case ?
thanks

DragonflyBSD partition ID ?
Hi: Does anybody know what is the partition ID to be specified for DragonflyBSD ? i've been using the entire disk for DragonflyBSD and this just stumped me as i tried to help another friend setup DragonflyBSD on a 40GB partition. The Linux fdisk does not seem to any entry for DragonflyBSD partition type. Any pointers ? thanks Saifi.
