In case the printer understands PS, you usually don't need the
device-specific drivers or filters. You don't even need CUPS. :-)

But if you use CUPS, HP printers are quite well supported. Check
at http://hplipopensource.com/ and verify the _exact_ model.
It doesn't hurt if there is a PPD available.

In worst case, you can use a filter like e. g. foo2zjs and
pipe its output directly into the printer device. You can
automate this using the system's printing facility (lpr
and printcap). But as I said, with HP printers this usually
is not needed.



> 2) 'scanimage -L' should list your scanner nicely, at least as root.

HP printers' scanners are often well supported. You need to
install and configure SANE, and then you can access the
scanner via xscanimage, xsane, Gimp, LibreOffice, ...

My luck with HP has been bad, enough to dissuade me from buying any more HP products.

I have HP LaserJet Professional M1212nf MFP, and the first several attempts were fruitless, in both NetBSD and FreeBSD.

I finally got it to print in NetBSD through cups with a special PPD file, think FreeBSD might also work with the same PPD file.

Only Ethernet worked, USB didn't.

I am rebuilding FreeBSD installations after getting nonbootable results updating NetBSD (version 7.99.71 of current branch).

Then I intend to rebuild many packages including cups and hplip.

I never got scanning or fax from computer to work.

One adverse factor is the need for a proprietary binary plugin.

I was on Xerox website and more favorably impressed, but didn't buy the printer because I already have that HP multifunction printer.

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a "road warrior" VPN for my company.

We have a pfSense firewall (FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p19) which we use for all
our VPN stuff.

 

The device is configured like so:

- 10.40.2.1/16 on the LAN interface

- IPsec tunnel VPN with remote network 192.168.40.100/24, with NAT 1:1 from
172.16.0.0/16 to 10.40.0.0/16 (this is with a SaaS company that won't change
their setup unless strictly necessary)

- The OpenVPN configuration file at the end of this email

- Bridge between the LAN interface and the OpenVPN (ovpns1) interface

 

The issue is that everything can be reached from the "road warrior" clients
normally, except for the firewall (10.40.2.1) and hosts over the IPsec VPN
(which is the entire reason I'm using TAP instead of TUN: I need to keep the
road warrior clients in the same network that can access the IPsec VPN).

The weird thing is that the firewall can be pinged and answers (but I
suspect that's an OpenVPN thing, it's likely not FreeBSD responding), but I
cannot reach its web configuration interface or connect with SSH. Please
note that this is not a binding issue nor a firewall issue, the web
interface binds on 0:443 and the firewall is temporarily set to allow
everything to pass.

Right now I have a second "road warrior" VPN access, using IPsec, which
works with the web interface but still doesn't work with the other IPsec
VPN. I would like to use OpenVPN because IPsec looks pretty hackish to me,
especially how it is implemented on pfSense/FreeBSD.

 

Best regards,

Riccardo Paolo Bestetti

This is a /32 subnet, it should be /24.

I can definitely confirm the HP Officejet 8950 to be working
(CUPS 1.5.4, FreeBSD 10.3) in all essential parts, but that one
is an inkpee printer!

I always suggest to check http://hplipopensource.com/ _before_
actually buying something.

Did you use the (most current) CUPS and hplip software?

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_professional_m1212nf_mfp.html

The following addition is provided:

	This printer REQUIRES a downloadable driver plug-in,
	which is required to enable print, fax or scan support.
	Use hp-setup to install the printer, and to download
	and install the plug-in. Driver plug-ins are released
	under a proprietary (non-open) license and are not part
	of the HPLIP tarball release.

Did you pay attention to this nonstandard part?

Yes, the first P in PPD means "portable". :-)

I never had any problems with HP networking, but of course I'm
just considering ye olden HP Laserjet office (!) printers (which
do only print, nothing else). ;-)

It's worth a try. If you have a PPD, it will provide good help.

Scanning is not a problem once you have installed hplip and SANE.
Fax... who uses fax anymore? ;-)

Definitely.

It's always worth checking device compatibility first. The less
obstacles are mentioned ("needs firmware upload" etc.), the less
trouble you will have. I know it's not easy today to find a 
printer which will reliably work, but if you do some research
beforehand, you can actually get a good printer.

Hello everybody.
I would like to buy a used HP z800 workstation to build a new
upcoming 11.1 system and replace my Dell T7400 (running 10.3).
At present, I use my system for "normal things" like browsing the
internet, sending mail and in general to experiment with FreeBSD and in
particular with jails.
And, VERY important for me, is the possibility to have a raid-5 system
because I will use it also as a repository for all the photos of my
family.
But, before to buy it, I would like to know your opinions on that
system... is there anyone of you that is using it with satisfaction?
Thank you.
Kind regards.

Mauro.

Experience varies.  I have never had an HP failure and, with the proper 
setup, alyways seem to produce good copy.

HP products.

Just for balance: we love HP printers, we use HP printers forever. We
allow clients print through print server only (configuring printers to
accept jobs only from print server). HP printers always have been easy to
install. On client if some stupid laptop has no HP drivers (to save
space), just use generic postscript driver. I only can speak for laser HP
printers. They are extremely reliable. I just retired printer that worked
for the department for over 15 years, heavily used, and is still working.
Never broke of failed. And HP still makes supplies for this "obsolete"
printer. Which brings me to the

<rant>
I decided to never ever buy any Xerox product (even though I still would
sign under their old motto: "we taught the world how to copy"). Some 7 or
8 years ago Xerox made a decision to eradicate "compatible" supplies. They
did it this way: every 3 Months or so they were releasing "new" printer
model, essentially the same previous one, only toners for that were
incompatible with "older" models. This made manufacturing "compatible"
after market supplies economically unprofitable, as there was only small
number of each Xerox printer model. I wouldn't care as I'm used to buy
slightly more expensive supplies made by printer manufacturer. But: 6
years after some Xerox printer model was sold (Phaser 6200 was our case),
Xerox stopped making toners, and parts with finite life, after a life of
such a part ends printer will refuse to work. As a result I had to throw
away decently young perfectly working Xerox printers. So: no Xerox
anything will ever be purchased or rented whenever I have enough leverage
to affect the decision.

CUPS installed on any system will work with the same PPD file which brings
specific description of that particular printer, as PostScript Printer
Description (PPD) is written in postscript which effectively is
programming language which both CUPS and printer firmware (system that is
run on postscript printer) implement. You can get PPD for you printer
wherever you find it, and use in CUPS on your system. PPD can be found on
CD that comes with printer, it can be taken from successful installation
of printer on different system (e.g. macintosh, Linux...), it comes as a
part of "driver" package one can download from printer manufacturer
website, you can try linuxprinting.org webiste:

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/openprinting/start

Good luck!

Hi!

I am sorry if FreeBSD Questions is not correct for my question but:

I have installed FreeBSD (now is 11-RELEASE) on iMac 11,1 where is also
OS X on but I do not using it years. Now I have a problem with hard
drive and I decided to change my HD with new SSD drive(I didn't buy
yet).
Is it possible to installed just FreeBSD on the computer, please? Now I
have dual boot and I use rEFit.
Thank you very much.

I did it on a 2009 iMac. It was awhile ago, but if I recall correctly 
the only issue was it needed an older nvidia driver.

Sure I saw that.  But hp-setup always failed when attempting to download that plug-in.

This is part of the reason, along with poor HP support policy, why I don't want to ever again buy anything from HP.

How would I know before buying another printer if it requires a proprietary binary plug-in?

A few years ago, on visiting HP website, this printer was past end-of-life, and no drivers were available even for MS-Windows. 

So I can try, but would be very surprised if that proprietary binary plug-in were even available.

But I think I still have some old stuff for MS-Windows on hard drive.

I looked in /usr/ports/print/hplip-plugin/pkg-plist, and couldn't see anything for my HP model.

But hplipopensource was still alive (and well?).

I think my printing success was due to cups; hplip seemed to play no part.

Scanning didn't work even with hplip and/or sane.

Now I wonder if, when I get to needing another cartridge, the toner for my printer model will still be available.

If not, I will consider myself blessed because that would mean I can give up on this printer in favor of something better.

Besides FreeBSD, I will also have chances with NetBSD and a future Linux installation.

I tried copying my custom NetBSD 7.99.71 kernels for amd64 to i386 by NFS from the Intel Ivy Bridge computer to my other (Intel Sandy Bridge) computer, and they booted successfully: a great surprise after failing on Intel Ivy Bridge computer.

That is actually a big problem. It's usually easier to download
the required parts manually, but I doubt both the hplipopensource.com
and the HP documentation will explicitely point out _where_ to
download it from. It's also common for manufacturers to stop the
support for certain products, even if that just means some resource
will be 404'd.

When I suggest using HP products, I only do this because I never
had such problems. I try to check as much documentation as possible
_before_ purchasing anything. If the device conforms to existing
standards (such as PCL, PS, or PDF for printer language), there
usually is no need for anything that printer-specific that only
the manufacturer can provide.



> How would I know before buying another printer if it requires a

Search for the device at hplipopensource.com (in case it's a HP),
it will be mentioned if such nonstandard parts are needed. Avoid
"GDI printers" ("winprinters") at all cost. Yes, I'm looking at
you, Canon! ;-)

That is quite common, and it doesn't even affect only ye olden
office laser printers (such as HP Laserjet 4000 DN which stopped
printing in "Windows 10"). Manufacturers are interested in selling
you the same thing over and over, so planned obsolescence will be
achieved through software (or to be precise: the _inavailability_
of software).

> binary plug-in were even available.

Make sure you don't need such nonsense. Confirm that the printer
will at least speak one of PCL, PS, or PDF.

I recently confirmed a HP Officejet 8950 both through that site
and in reality - but as I mentioned, that is an inkpee printer.
There is no explicit mentioning in the hplip package list, but
it works quite nicely. Even the dreaded CUPS auto-detection did
work.

That is quite possible. CUPS includes lots of printer drivers
on its own.

If I remember correctly, you need to install the SANE backends
library. That one will bring you the model-specific support.

Shortage on toner supply is a good reason to dump a specifc model.
For example, I'm using several HP Laserjet 4000 DN and I can still
get toner cartridges for < 50 Euro. The moment those aren't sold
anymore will make me unhappy. ;-)

All of them use CUPS for printing (and usually application software
will depend on CUPS for anything printing-related). Even Mac OS X
(or however they call it this year) uses CUPS. So whenever a printer
works with CUPS, you're good to go across operating systems. Don't
waste time with nonstandard binary driver plugins, uploadable firm-
ware, host-based control programs or stupid stuff like that. Printers
that require you to use those aren't worth buying.

Again: Make sure the printer conforms to existing standards.

OP here.

First, thanks to all for your responses.

Second, let me clarify that I would really prefer to stay away from CUPS 
if possible. I use lpr and printcap, with occasional printing from 
applications whose names start with "gn." What I'm after is a printer 
that works out of the box with minimal hassle.

My main reason for hesitating on the HP M553n was that the specs claim 
support for "HP postscript level 3 emulation," which seems to be not the 
same thing as actual postscript. It would also be swell if I could avoid 
complications like hplip.

And thanks to Valeri's <rant> I will be very leery of Xerox products; 
that Phaser I mentioned (6515DN) is probably out of the running now due 
to the chance of it becoming a Supplies Orphan. One thing I like about 
HP is that they seem to make consumables for many years after the 
product is discontinued. Toner, fusers etc. are still available for the 
old 4550N after these many years.

So you'd be best prepared with a printer that understands PS or PCL.
You can generate PCL easily with gs (called via printcap), and PS is
no problem because it's the default printing output format of all
applications anyway.

That printer also speaks PCL and PDF, which frees you from using
hplip (which is primarily intended for HP inkpee printers). You
can use gs to "preprocess" the printing program's output PS to
fit the printer, and you can - if intended - incorporate PPD
set-up instructions if you want to address specific printer
facilities or behaviour.

Few years ago, I even got new "rubber parts" for a HP Laserjet 4! :-)

Actual PostScript has license fees.  But HP's emulated PostScript is 
quite good and very mature.  It is unlikely to find a incompatibility.

Since the printer accepts PostScript, you can avoid the complication of 
CUPS and hplip and all that stuff.  Send the PS file straight to the 
printer.  That can be done with various protocols: HP port 9100, LPD, 
even FTP.  To use some features of the printer like duplexing, it might 
be necessary to modify the header of the PS file.  This can be done with 
scripts that modify the file as it is sent to a print queue.  A couple 
of simple examples of such filters are shown in the printing chapter of 
the Handbook.  It would be nice to add examples of printing duplex or 
other options, although some of them vary from printer to printer.  CUPS 
uses the PPD file to get each printer's abilities, but I've never found 
the complexity worth it.

I'm using with FreeBSD 12-CURRENT (with cups 2.2.2) a printer/scanner, 
a  HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277

works fine with:
- Postscript
- PCL
- scans and sends the scan to configured e-mail addr as PDF or JPEG
- configuration via browser

it could do outbound fax as well, but unused/untested by me

The standard print format for applications has been PDF for a while now:

Over a year ago, I reported that PDF was the new "standard".
Personally, I believe that PDF is superior to and more readily accepted
than PS.

In any case, yesterdays "standards" will be obsoleted by todays
"standards", which in turn will be mothballed by tomorrow's more
technologically advanced "standards".

I love standards, there are so many too choose from. The only thing
"standard" about a "standard" is that it will be superseded by another
"standard". That is why I try to not get too attached to any one
"standard".

Hi,

Something I caution people about....  although the printers on 
openprinting.org work for Linux, there are issues.  Be careful to read 
if any of them have additional 'linux' driver software... aka not being 
completely open.  They provide binary drivers (like some from Brother) 
and cause issues.  So far, HP has done well with HPLIP, but they really 
should get it up to speed with similar functionality to the Windoze 
software.

P.

	I got the Brother binary drivers working easily enough by running
CUPS in a Centos userland in a jail. In theory they can be got to work in a
FreeBSD install of CUPS but you have to get everything into place by hand
and I never managed to get it right.

Whats the advantage of that over using Linux CUPS under
the ordinary /usr/compat/linux/ Centos install?

Seems more like a sidewise-swap, rather than an upgrade going by
the specs on either system, although perhaps you get to run 5 gens out
on the Intel CPU rather than 6 gens out on the Intel CPU, depending on
what CPU you end up in either. I'd probably spend the money on a little
bit newer.

Going by HP support docs, the Z800 could have two different RAID
configs. Either an Intel RAID system, which was a software RAID
combined with Windows drivers, or an LSI based RAID system appropriate
for the era. eg. LSI pretty much has made all the hardware RAID controllers
since this time, they all act about the same.

I don't know anything about the HP Workstations, but if they are anything
like the servers, one thing I don't like about them is their RAID
systems only will take HP firmware disks, and refuse to work with
anything else.

LSI RAID and HBA cards of the era will also only take up to 2TB disks
max (well, maybe only 1TB, since that is the biggest listed drive as
part of the spec sheet), but 2TB is the max the controller chip supports.

I'd really strongly suggest doing ZFS instead directly on FreeBSD
rather than RAID-5 hardware RAID card. Having direct access to the
disks for control & monitoring really makes a nice combination. Turn
on SMART monitoring, and you'll start catching drive fails super early
before it really goes south on you, and the ZFS file system will protect
against bitrot and let you setup a number of different configurations
emphasizing whatever is most important to you.

So, I've been running ZFS root mirror across 2 spinning disks, and I'm
upgrading my home server/nas and planning on running root on a spare SSD.
However, I'm unsure if it'd be better to run UFS as a single drive root
instead of ZFS, although I do love all of the ZFS features (snapshots, COW,
scrubbing, etc) and would still like to keep that for my root drive, even
if I'm not mirroring at all. I do notice that FreeBSD has TRIM support for
ZFS (see http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Features#TRIM_Support).

So is there a good reason NOT to run ZFS root on a single drive SSD?

	The install scripts work in a jail, using compat you would have to
put everything in place by hand so you might as well use FreeBSD CUPS.

No.  Running ZFS on a single device works fine, although you obviously
don't benefit from all the really nice resilience features.

The choice between UFS2 and ZFS basically comes down to three points:

   * performance -- for certain IO patterns, UFS can out-perform ZFS
quite markedly.  Particularly the sort of small, randomly distributed
IOs you get with a RDBMS.  Of course, for database use, the additional
data security you get from ZFS makes it desirable despite this.

   * system resources -- ZFS is memory hungry.  This is not a problem on
most contemporary machines, which tend to have sufficient RAM, but older
machines, VMs or appliances may struggle.

   * data security -- the integrated checksumming in ZFS provides
assurance that the data you're reading now is the same as what you wrote
previously.  Now, this is almost always the case with UFS2 (would be
entirely useless if not), but there is no actual guarantee of it, and
silent data corruption is possible[*].  If you're handling data which is
really important or in particularly large volumes or where your hardware
may prove deficient, then ZFS is indicated.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

[*] With only one drive and one copy of each file, ZFS cannot provide
resilience against data errors, but it will prevent it going unnoticed.

I'd add only that while a mirrored zpool offers some data protection, it 
is *not* an effective "backup" solution for important data. Drive 
failure during resilver after a drive replacement does occur. If there's 
important data on the drive, backing it up to a different medium is 
still essential, whether it's a mirrored pool or a single drive pool.

LOL, well, this is my home system, and but I do recognize that RAID !=3D
backup (have CrashPlan for that), and even mirror can fail on a rebuild. I
was just trying to gauge if it was an actual bad idea, or just a "meh,
whatever dude, probably won't hurt".

@Matt
Usage pattern will be basically general system processes, and quite
possibly several bhyve VMs, things like CrashPlan (stupid lack of FreeBSD
support) and a few game server VMs, although for the games I'll almost
certainly have the data hosted via shares onto my ZFS array which is my
primary data storage.

System resources...I've got 12C/24T, 72GB RDIMM memory. It'll be fine. I've
actually been running zroot mirror & raidz array with 12GB memory and an
old Athlon II dual core. So should be fine. I can swap out some 4GB dimms
for 8GB dimms if I need more memory.

Data security, that's where I'd like ZFS for, for the checksumming & such,
even though I won't get drive failure protection. Still, I've had the SSD
running and in use on a different machine for a while, so if it was going
to just have a controller failure or something it would have had it by now,
so should be fine. And I'll backup configs & such just in case anyway.

ICYMI, FreeBSD also has TRIM support for UFS. See the -t flag for the
newfs command.

A good question that I've often wondered about.

The first reply at

https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/single-drive-zfs.35515/

hints at metadata corruption on a pool located entirely on a single
magnetic drive possibly leading to failure of the entire pool, and
given the lack of easy to use repair tools for ZFS, would require a
rebuild. I think in reality this would be quite rare though, and
hopefully wouldn't be a huge issue anyway provided you keep regular
backups.

Using an SSD might change things a little should the drive begin to
fail, but I get the impression modern SSDs tend to fail a bit more
gracefully than the old ones. I've no experience here and am
interested in any anecdata.

Keep in mind you also have other options, such as splitting the drive
into separate UFS and ZFS partitions, or creating a ZFS pool from a
file on UFS. The latter probably has performance drawbacks, but they
might be negated by the performance of the SSD.

Andrew

Ah, I guess I just assumed UFS had it, I hadn't actually checked. Thanks!

I think most modern SSDs have pretty good checks because of how they use
MLC/TLC NAND and how it fails. The biggest thing I can think of is a
controller/board failure, rather than suddenly having massive number of
blocks fail. However, it is a point that without copies=2 (or more) while
bit-rot/corruption would be detectable, it wouldn't be possible to
re-construct the bad blocks.

Side note, copies=2 resiliency test (
http://jrs-s.net/2016/05/09/testing-copies-equals-n-resiliency/), rather
interesting, although I probably won't be using it, at least not for an SSD.

Hello,

I've got a FreeBSd 10.3 vps. Today it started giving me:

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 249488, size: 16384

When it does this my ssh session becomes unresponsive. The vps service
offers out of ban services so that I can have an ssh serial console
access. This issue even locks up the console. The only solution is a
reboot.

I've read that the issue is one of paging and swap not being able to
be written to disk.

The disks are all virtual I do not believe these disks can go bad so
I'm assuming it's software or system configuration.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,

Here's my swapinfo, though it was obtained after a server reboot, it froze up.

#swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/md98         1780352       36  1780316     0%
/dev/md99         1036216       44  1036172     0%
Total             2816568       80  2816488     0%

Thanks.
Dave.

And what is the output of:
# mdconfig -lv

The short answer though is use a real swap device eg a separate "real" disk
or partition.  Even having no swap device is better than the above config
when under memory pressure.

Hello,

Here's the mdconfig output:

#mdconfig -lv
md0     swap      512M
md98    vnode    1739M  /swapfile1
md99    vnode    1012M  /swapfile


Any idea why this is freezing? I've not made server changes.

Thanks.
Dave.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hello,

I'm using gpg2 (from the ports) which supports a so called GnuPG smart
card, i.e. the private key is stored in some CCID SIM (the card, which
sits in a small USB stick) and access to the private gpg key is secured
by a PIN entry, not a passphrase. This works fine and is very secure for
using gpg on many hosts because you do not have to pollute all these
hosts with your secret key material which could be copied (i.e. stolen)
by anyone, for example even IP personal, having priv access to your
workspace(s)).

gpg2 brings a gpg-agent, to which gpg2 commands communicate, for example
'gpg2 --card-status' and which in turn connects to the daemon
/usr/local/sbin/pcscd (as well in ports) which has the communication to
special GnuPG-card. All you need is the PIN defined for the card.

I use the HID Global OMNIKEY 6121 Smart Card Reader and the GnuPG-card
produced here in Germany.

On the other hand, the gpg-agent can also substitute the ssh-agent as a dro=
pin.
One exports the ssh public key for the remote ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
with:

$ gpg2 --export-ssh-key ID > ssh.pub

kills the (old) 'ssh-agent' and starts a 'gpg-agent':

$ ssh-agent -k
$ gpg2 --card-status
(the latter launches as well the gpg-agent)

$ unset SSH_AGENT_PID
$ unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK
$ if [ "${gnupg_SSH_AUTH_SOCK_by:-0}" -ne $$ ]; then            export SSH_=
AUTH_SOCK=3D"$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)";          fi
$ env | grep SSH
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=3D/home/guru/.gnupg-ccid/S.gpg-agent.ssh

Now 'ssh-add -l' will contact not the 'ssh-agent', but the 'gpg-agent':

$ ssh-add -l
4096 SHA256:lo2xgyFAnSXz6HNMELNZogJEfyj7XEKZiHIHg+e1DFw cardno:00050000532B=
 (RSA)

and on first access to the key with

$ ssh id@remote-server

the secret key is needed and 'gpg-agent' uses /usr/local/bin/pinentry or
/usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt5 to request the PIN. Further ssh commands
find the card already unlocked (until disconnect of the USB stick) and
no PIN is needed anymore.

So far so good and the same works this way for signing e-mails, etc.

What I now want to get is using this too while booting the system which
has the root and user partition geli(8) crypted. I.e. boot a mini system
=66rom some un-encrypted USB stick which has only /boot, /etc/fstab and
enough files to make gpg2, gpg-agent and /usr/local/sbin/pcscd working,
including shared libs needed by these. On a very early stage the gpg2
decrypts the keyfile for geli(8) which was encrypted by gpg2 using the
public key of the card. Than the rest of the partitions are attached
with 'geli attach' using on STDIN the keyfile decrypted on the flight
with gpg2. So the unencrypted keyfile is never stored onto the USB boot
key.

This would lead to a system (netbook) which never can be booted or
otherwise data read from and you can only boot it with the USB boot key,
the USB GnuPG-card and the PIN (normally 6 digits).

Any comments on this?

Hello,

So, I should delete the two swap file files. Would that solve the issue?

Thanks.

If it was me I would remove the devices from swap, destroy the devices,
eliminate anything that is generating that setup, add a small swap backed
by a real device.

That would solve your swap issue.  As to what other issues your provider
has gifted you with, who can say.

It's not a swap partition but needs to be removed because it's backed by
swap.  If you attempt to remove the other two without removing it first it
will fail.

man mdconfig

All right

I am running 2 quad core 1.7MHz Xeon and 16 GB ECC RAM.

Stuff like openjdk7 / openjdk8 / Webitgtk is 
taking huge amount of memory to compile

and soetimes the process stop and is incomplete.

Any pointers to rectify this issue?

Snipping the basketcase signature as well... But try not using all cores to build in parallel. The more compilation units being built at the same time, the more memory.

Hmm, yes. How likely is a controller board failure, though? No more
likely than a HDD controller failure, I'd have thought.

Ah, this is something I was wanting to experiment with for a few years
but never got around to it. The only difference was I would've written
the file corruption program in Python! :-) Good stuff.

The big question is what availability do you need on this server? As its a
home system I guess not as much as say an enterprise one. Therefore I would
imagine all the benefits of manageability that come with zfs will out weigh
the downside, even if running on a single volume. Boot environments are a
really big thing to safe guard yourself during upgrade time. Although in
theory you could do something with ufs its never going to be as good as
with zfs. Also remember mirroring isnt backup, mirroring is about
availability. Therefore live with a single drive, but backup the contents
regularly.

Hello,

when i boot a FreeBSD 11 with an Adaptec PMC 1000-8i (Fw 2.5) in my Asus KG=
PE-D16 (Bios 3309) the system freezes:
run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after xx seconds for xpt_config
...
random:unblocking device.
Should there be support for this adapter? Any support planned?

Any pointers where to ask further or what else to try?

Thanks in advance,
Volker Badziong

Good evening.

Sorry for the late chime in, but I too had been having this issue. My 
VPS was on a Xen HVM, which had issues with vimage/vnet (server crashed 
every time I added epair devices to bridge), so they removed the Xen 
layer and i am now using em0 device for networking. However, from time 
to time the system shows symptoms similar to what OP described (I have a 
screenshot of the KVM console in the browser, which I can post if anyone 
is interested). My system is not on md device -- they are on ada device, 
and I have twice the size of RAM as swap space. What I have found to be 
more confusing, even though this particular VPS in London is supposed to 
have better spec than my very old VPS in Texas, the Texan one (FreeBSD 
9.x, several jails but not in VNET) performs much better and is more 
resilient on resources than the FreeBSD 11.x VNET jails in London. Like 
the OP, I have to occasionally reset the server just to get my services 
back (including SSH).

If you need me to run further tests or need more information, please let 
me know and I'll try my best to provide.

Best regards

I installed the Arduino 1.6.12 package on FreeBSD 11. The install went fine.=
 I added the appropriate URL to the preferences dialog, but the "Board Manag=
er" doesn't appear at the top of Board pop up menu. Has anyone solved this?

My apologies, I meant to CC the list originally. An explanation, for anyone
else curious:

I actually explicitly patch out the board manager because it won't
necessarily function the way you would expect it to on other platforms
since it downloads not only the core but platform-specific tools, and
FreeBSD isn't officially supported upstream.

Brad indicated to me off-list that he's wishing to use an ESP8266/NodeMCU
board- this is a WIP at the moment now that I have a unit to test with.
Obstacles in the form of binutils strangeness and life have gotten in the
way since I received the unit, but work is resuming on this and I hope to
have an esp8266 toolchain worked out fairly soon.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans

Hello Matthias,

I agree with your idea.  Some time ago I did some research to find out
a method to read the password from a USB memory stick but was not
successful.  I was not concerned with disk encryption, just wanted a
very long password, automatic login and no system access without a
hardware key.  Do not know if the situation has changed and do not know
the serious downsides of this approach.  Clearly, the addition of disk
encryption would make systems, especially laptops, even more secure.

Perhaps a compromise would be to encrypt a /home partition and use the
card reader for access.

Cheers ...

Marek

6 digits doesn't sound very secure.

A geli device can be set-up to use a passphrase and/or a passfile. You
could just put the passfile on a memory stick and not use
a passphrase at all.

FWIW I use a passfile to attach geli encrypted partitions, but the
passfile is stored in a small geli encrypted file-backed md device
that's passphrase protected. I did this just to avoid having to type any
more than I need to, but that backing file could just as easily be on a
memory stick.

You can use as may digits you want (and can remember). Already 6 is
*very* secure because you have only 3 time to guess the right one, i.e.
no brute force.

*This* is very insecure when the key gets stolen or copied (i.e. you may
even not know that someone all the time can enter in your system). When
the GnuPG stick gets stolen, it is useless for attackers due to missing
PIN.

Yes, and can be opened with brute force attacks, depending on the key
length and the computing power.

i use a mouse with a button on the side which i remapped to button 2 under linux. i've been using it this way for years, i'm very used to it. i just started using this mouse with freebsd, and i can't figure out how to remap the buttons. here's what i found, in reverse chronological order:

xinput silently fails for every pointer device except the core pointer, where it reports an x error. i assume you're not meant to use it with the core pointer, and i don't even want to; i want this to be specific to this one mouse.

xmodmap reports an x error.

lshal reports a dbus error: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

documentation for moused and lower-level mouse seemed disinclined to mention button mapping. i would like the same button mapping to apply in the framebuffer as well as x.

i have severe fatigue issues and i've just had to move a rather fiddly setup involving a laptop with external drive and screen onto my desk with the ecosystem of cabling behind it. i've done it now when i'm already fatigued because my primary workstation died unexpectedly yesterday morning. i'd appreciate an easy answer.

Linux? I used ext4 for a few years. In proportion to the time spent using it, I lost as much data to it as I lost to the very worst released version of reiserfs.

You should be able to use xorg.conf partial additions (no need
for a complete xorg.conf file). Check "man xorg.conf" for details.

This program is inteded for keyboard mapping, not for the mouse,
and it only works in X.

HAL has been deprecated on Linux long time ago and isn't really
useful on FreeBSD.

See "man moused", especially the -m option. At least for the OS,
this is basic functionality which can be configured easily. On X
it is more complicated of course. ;-)

Hello RW,

Is it possible to automatically read a password/passfile during boot
up from a USB memory stick without geli? If so, how?

Cheers ...

I mentioned it solely because the key being stolen and used to access
the device is explicitly not in his threat model.=20

It depends on your threat model. For most people either are better than
they need to be. If you think you might have to stand up to a serious
attack by the likes of the NSA then you have to be certain that
they can't bypass the 3 attempts limit on the card.  =20

I'd also be seriously concerned about that 3 attempt limit locking me
out of my data.=20

I've never tried mounting geli partitions at boot time but I would
image you could do it by mounting the stick from fstab and passing the
appropriate flag in rc.conf.

On the GnuPG card you have an admin account with another PIN (in my case 8=20=

digits) to unlock your locked SIM, with 3 attemps too. After this, the card=20=

is to.throw away, if you fail.

actually, it was the only way to set button mapping when i started using x on secondhand 486s over 20+ years ago! of course, i didn't need it then. i suppose someone thought "mouse button mapping... we have a program for mapping inputty things, i'll add it to that!" i'm slightly grateful it wasn't part of xset. given xset's impenetrable manual page and inconsistent syntax, i'm sure it would have been impossible!

oh good! looks like i'll get through my whole life without having to learn about hal. now if only i'd had the sense to skip some other things, like fvwm which has 6 billion commands to do almost but not quite what i want, or red hat 5.2's init scripts which nearly put me off shell script for life!

thanks! that looks really easy now you've pointed it out... or it will be when i find out where moused is started, which i'm sure i can manage on my own. i like moused's m=n syntax, much less cumbersome than xmodmap or xinput with their lists of numbers.

Linux? I used ext4 for a few years. In proportion to the time spent using it, I lost as much data to it as I lost to the very worst released version of reiserfs.

almost! aaaalmost! i added a line to /etc/rc.conf, unplugged and reconnected my usb mouse, and saw my "-m 8=2" in the output of ps. i thought it was great, until i found it doesn't actually work. in x, button 8 is still button 8.

i could i try using xorg.conf to just make the same mapping in x, but i'd like to just have one authoritative setting. um... brain's gone blank. i need to set a bigger font for the framebuffer anyway; doing that first.

sorry, replied too fast. in x, with '-m 8=2', button 8 is still button 8 but button 2 becomes button 12, leaving me with no button 2 at all. i thought i'd misunderstood the man page, so i set '-m 2=8', but that again makes no change to button 8 in x while button 2 stops sending anything at all.

i'll leave it for a while as i'm replying too fast. if someone could tell me how to test mouse buttons in the framebuffer console (like i can with xev in x), i'd be grateful.

Hi,

It is been years I am using the same web hosting provider and there are 
a few points that bugs me so I am looking for potential new hosting.

I searched online and at https://www.freebsd.org/commercial/isp.html and 
was able to find some virtual hosting but not much web hostings.

What I am looking is
- shared web hosting service
- running on FreeBSD (or on *BSD)
- multiple domain names
- quick quick of mail aliases

I don't want the burden to manage a host and mail/web servers the CMS is 
already enough for me :)

Any 2017 recommendation?

Thanks

Philippe

As I said, X handles input differently than the text mode console.
For the console, moused configuration applies. But for X, you need
to mess with xinput, maybe through a partial xorg.conf file where
you only set options for the mouse.

Here is an example for such an entry:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Mouse0"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/sysmouse"
	Option		"Protocol"		"Auto"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"
	Option		"EmulateWheelButton"	"2"
EndSection

Of course you'd have to define only the relevant options that you
actually need for the button re-mapping; see "man xorg.conf" and
assorted X documentation. :-)

Just mind the _scope_ of the moused utility. Check "man moused",
there is also an option for debugging where you can examine the
events appearing for the mouse (similar to the X event viewer,
xev).

With "moused -d -f <further options>" it is easily possible.

I am following the info in this link
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/

I installed the textproc/docproj package.

The above link says that svn is installed as part of that port. But it 
really is not. Have to use the built in svnlite command.

The shown command
   "svnlite checkout https://svn.FreeBSD.org/doc/head ~/doc"
downloads far more items than wanted. This needs better example of just 
downloading the desired language version of the handbook plus any 
"shared directories" required for "make command" to work. How do I do this?

I ran the "igor -R filename.xml | less -RS" command on the chapter I 
wanted to work on before making any changes. To my surprise a bunch of 
error are shown. Since these error are all already in the handbook 
source I see no reason why I should try to correct them.

When I ran the "make" command the resulting html files are just written 
into the directory that "make" was run from. How do I tell "make" to 
write the output to a location of my selection?

What is really lacking is a way to view the changed output in a command 
line browser. Installing a desktop just to view the changed handbook is 
not an acceptable solution.

Hello RW,

Thanks for this useful suggestion.  It seems feasible for my skill
level.

I know enough of FreeBSD to edit fstab but am not clear about the
specific settings in rc.conf.

As I am not interested in using geli I looked in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
for an appropriate setting but could not find anything that could be
used. Did I miss something?  If not, does that mean I have to roll my
own rc script and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d?

Cheers ...

Marek
