Pointers for help in NetBSD?

2009-04-03T18:23:54Z

I'm pretty new to NetBSD, and thus I've never configured X before.

so far I've added a non-root user and gave that user the subgroup wheel.

It's a full install on a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop, the whole drive was given to NetBSD.

All of the X documentation I've read through made configuring X sound really simple but none of the things they're telling me to do work.

when I type in (either as root or anyone) "XF86Config" "XF86Setup" "X" "twm" or "startx" the first two tell me " not found" and all of the other look like they're trying to do something, but the whole screen goes black like something is about to open..and then it just stops, which I'm guessing is due to the fact it's not configured and I have no idea how to configure it. If I don't know how to configure it and the instructions are telling me to do things that don't work....what should I do? should I reinstall X packages, if so, how?

I'm dead in the water until i can find out why nothing is working like it's supposed to, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

monitoring CPU temperature and frequency

2008-03-21T00:25:54Z

Hey mates!

I been trying to find a way to display the the cpu temperature and
frequency via Stumpwm's mode-line like Linux does.
looking through: sysctl -a

I see nothing revelant unless I overlooked something. I was just
wondering is there a way to monitor the CPU temperature and frequency.

Re: Please help - configuring e-mail

2008-03-20T23:21:10Z

Dear newsgroup members,

As to the the hostname, do I correctly assume that it can be any valid text string? Maybe my mistake was that I REALLY call it "mynet" or something similar, without .com, .net or anything, since actually noone else knows who's this machine is besides myself!

By the way, my dormitory network does not "trust" me - it merely allows me to connect to the internet. As to checking the mail, I tried mutt (before I reinstalled), and it said I have no mail, but I had not configured it either, so no surprise here. But I checked GMX, the free mail provider (I sent e-mails to myself), and none arrived. The BSD mail utility also said "no mail", therefore, I assume indeed nothing was delivered.

date | mail -s TEST myusername

just gives me "postfix/sendmail: fatal: unable to use my own hostname"

I never tried to make an SMTP-server. Is this part of the setup?

No, I don't have hostname=mybox, I actually only have it with the IP-Address:
I have in /etc/hosts:

10.0.0.217 mynet

and in /etc/rc.conf:

mynet=10.0.0.217

that is all.

Yes, last time I indeed DID set in /etc/postfix/main.cf mydomain and myhostname, and it almost worked, but I was not too certain of what I was doing, that is why I finally just reinstalled NetBSD, and now I did not set them - now I just did what I described in my mail to you.

So do correctly assume that now I have to find out how to make an SMTP-server, and write somewhere hostname=mynet (where?)? Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

Kind regards,

Nino

Re: audioplay and RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, GSM 6.10, mono 8000 Hz

2008-03-20T20:04:22Z

I was able to convert the GSM file (emailed from asterisk) using sox:

sox /home/reed/tmp/msg0001.WAV -s /home/reed/tmp/new.wav

The -s was required for me. It is "The audio data encoding is signed
linear (2's complement)".

Then I could play that with audioplay.

sox uses the gsm library to handle this. (I still haven't figured out how
to convert using gsm utilities.)

Also see pkgsrc/filesystems/fuse-afpfs-ng

And Coda. NetBSD kernels can be built with Coda support. (Many ports have
it enabled by default.) And coda (and coda5) kernel modules are available
with NetBSD. See http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/ and pkgsrc/net/coda

Also other fuse filesystems (in pkgsrc) can be used to as simple
network-based file systems using webdav, ssh, ftp, http, smb, and others.

Hmm.. if memory serves, the network file systems NetBSD can mount are:

NFS
SMBFS
... and maybe AFP with the netatalk package.

Of those three i'd definitely choose NFS.

I've never tried to mount an SMB file system on a Unix machine, so i
can't comment on how well it works or performance.

It is possible for an MUA (Mail User Agent or "client") to work even if
you don't have a local MTA (Mail Transfer Agent or "server") if you are
set up to send outgoing email through a server that trusts you. Have
you tried elm or mutt on your text only system?

Are you sure that you have "hostname=mybox" or whatever you call your
machine?

I guess sendmail is looking for an SMTP server and you don't have one
yet. Try this command:

date | mail -s TEST myusername

I believe that this does not use the local MTA.

Try going through /etc/postfix/main.cf and let me know what changes you
do to get it going. Did you perhaps add a myhostname or mydomain
value? The default (not defined) should work in most cases.

I think the guide assumes that you have already set up hostname if you
have a running system. Let me know if the above suggestion works for
you. Perhaps I can add a note to that area of the guide.

+1 for readynas.

After 16,000 hours, 1 failed hard disc and a flash upgrade to 3.01, I
have to say it was a pain free experience. It just works :-)

likewise I experienced some quirks with 2.x firmware but 3.01 is fine
with my setup.

I get 11MB/sec writes, although I got 14+MB/sec for many months while
when new, which dropped to 5MB/sec until the the firmware upgrade.
likewise I am not using jumbo frames. I have a high turnover of large
files and keep the fs near full most of the time so I cannot expect good
performance. The forums have suggested that buying the 1GB RAM
version/upgrade increases performance especially with the builtin media
servers.

Thanks for your detailed reply.

Is NFS is the most common file system a NetBSD client would use with NAS?

I use an Infrant (now Netgear) ReadyNAS NV+ with my NetBSD machines, and
a Mac OS X machine.

With an older version of their OS, "RAIDiator," 3.x, there was a problem
with NFS locking. It's been fixed in the 4x release, which i think is
current shipping. RAIDiator is based on Linux.

The problem was actually in some badly-written rpc code in an older
rev. of the Linux 2.4 kernel, which i mentioned because there may be some
other NAS devices out there based on the 2.4 Linux kernel, and it took me
some time to figure out why vi kept hanging. (Older revs of FreeBSD and
OS X also had similar problems.) the 4.x rev of RAIDiator uses the 2.6
Linux kernel, IIRC.

I like the ReadyNAS NV+ pretty well, but it's a bit slow with four SATA
drives. I get about 20MB/sec. read but only about 5 MB/sec. writes. (The
bottleneck is CPU.) I'm not using Jumbo frames, but i am using gigabit
Ethernet and have increased the Read and Write sizes.

Web management with CLI (ssh) access. I'd be 100% happy with it, except
for the low write throughput. For the price i paid (~$500 US, no drives)
it was a good deal.

Initial setup may require OS X, Windows, or a Linux box.

Hi all,

I was just wanting to find out if anyone can give advice about using NAS
systems with a NetBSD based system as a client. I'm also looking for
information about what NAS systems have been tried and tested with NetBSD.

Any information would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure it's closer than before. It couldn't find the ethernet address
while before it didn't even check it (if I read the code properly).

Can you add some printf() to ne_pcmcia_attach() to see what's going on ?
The interesting part if between again: and the last 'goto again'.
it should enter the (ne_dev->flags & NE2000DVF_DL10019) if, and
call ne_pcmcia_dl10019_get_enaddr(). Either ne_pcmcia_dl10019_get_enaddr()
didn't work, or it didn't return the mac address we expect.

You could also try changing {0x00, 0xc0, 0x0c} with {0xff,0xff,0xff} in
the PCMCIA_CIS_RELIA_RE2408T entry.

I tried this procedure on the DL140G3

interrupt the boot countown and type 'boot -c'.
Then type
disable pckbc
quit

the problem is that when I typed "boot -c"
the system locks up before I can type "disable pckbc"
I don't know what happens when I type "boot -c" but I'm guessing that it starts loading the kernel and one of the first things it does is to connect itself to the keyboard, or something...

figure out bochs keypress and clock speed and timecounter?

2008-03-15T05:16:15Z

I have used bochs successfully for several years. It is normal to have to
adjust keyboard_serial_delay and cpu: ips and after a few tries an
acceptable setting can be found.

But yesterday, I couldn't figure out keyboard_serial_delay on amd64
1895.61 MhZ running NetBSD -current.

I have tried numerous from 5 (lowest allowed) to 150000. At the boot
loader I can type fine, but once NetBD comes up (booting i386 NetBSD) my
keys always repeat way too fast. For example:
nnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeetttttttttttbbbbbbbbbbbssssssssssssssddddddddddd

At the boot loader itself, I can type "boot" fine though. This problem is
after the kernel boots.

I built with --enable-show-ips and am using approximately the ips it
displays 'cpu: ips=12712908'

dmesg (within the bochs) says my cpu is around 127 MHz.

I want it way faster, but I guess I can live with that.

I also tried many keyboard_paste_delays (from lowest allowed 1000 to
999999999) but didn't notice any difference.

I also tried many vga_update_interval values but didn't notice difference.

To get my keyboard to work I increase my ips way higher than bochs
reported to like 'cpu: ips=50000000'. Then my keypresses don't repeat (at
least not as often). My CPU speed (in dmesg) is still 127 MHz.

(I am guessing that is CPU speed is reported wrong anyways, as I think
even a 450 MHz system can emulate over 150MHz. Is that something the
kernel benchmarks/figures out and should be precise? Or is that just what
the system told the speed is?)

But then I get new problems: initial boot up is very slow. For example,
the boot loader five second countdown takes almost a minute.

But then when NetBSD kernel actually loads, I get the opposite: time is
going fast. sleep and date are running about triple time.

Maybe this is related -- part of my dmesg in bochs:

(I never changed them.)

So what I am looking for:

- system to run at correct clock speed so sleep and date are correct

- keypresses to not repeat

- and maybe over 127MHz

I don't know if this is some bochs configuration or NetBSD tunable or
both.

So I was told about open PR #36350 "Many man pages missing on amd64"
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=36350 which
appears to have a fix (by having a common new category "x86"), but I
haven't tested yet.

What is the status with this?

(I bcc'd the original list I posted this on so others can know where the
conversation moved to. I cc'd port-i386 since this is for i386 man pages
too.)

You have to rebuild a kernel in both cases

Sorry, I meant with pckbc disabled.
I just tried your instructions (disable pckbc) on an old Pentium 3 at home
it killed the PS2 keyboard, but a USB keyboard still works (once the kernel picks it up)
The HP DL140 G3 has a PS2 keyboard connector, but of I don't yet know whether it's really PS2 or USB
inside (it might be just converted to USB on the motherboard).
Anyway that doesn't matter as the firewall will be in a rack on a remote site. A dead keyboard might
even be a security feature :-)
Is there a way to disable pckbc for the standard kernel once the machine is successfully booting
from harddisk? some kind of boot loader option maybe?
would selecting serial bootblocks instead of bios bootblocks do it?
or do I really have to recompile the kernel?

It's the first device of provided by pckbc(4). See "man pckbc" for
details.

I'm sure Manuel's answer is more helpful. I just wanted to point out the
taxonomy and documentation, in case you weren't aware of them.

> How do I compile an install kernel without it and boot it ?

Extensive docs for building your own kernel are on the website. I'm no
expert, so I won't try to explain them. But I will point you to "man
boot", because it really helps to understand that you can have lots of
kernels in your root. boot(8) can boot any file on any device it knows
about; the only reason you're normally not involved is that it defaults to
"netbsd".

So: build your kernel, plop in / as, say, netbsd.nopckbc, and reboot.
Bring boot(8) into interactive mode and boot your new kernel. If you like
what it does, rename it to 'netbsd', and you're good to go.

HTH.

The keyboard controller

I guess there's a USB keyboard, isn't it ?

At first you can interrupt the boot countown an type 'boot -c'.
Then type
disable pckbc
quit

and it should boot with pckbc disabled.

> or can I some way to redirect to serial port and install from there ?

You can, there's a boot-com.iso iso image (with only the installer, you'll
have to swap in your full 4.0 CD to install the sets once the kernel is
loaded).

what is pckbc0 ? installing netbsd of HP DL140G3

2008-03-13T14:09:48Z

I tried to install NetBSD 4 on a HP DL140 G3 today at work (and failed).
I want to use it as a firewall in front of a Linux server that has some rather sensitive stuff on it.
The DL140 G3 is the cheapest rack mount server that HP do and it comes with iLo and mine has a RAID
controller too, great stuff.

The install kernel hung for a long time and the keyboard didn't work.
According to this doc
http://maciejewski.org/?cat=8
if I recompile the kernel with pckbc0 support then it will work okay

so some questions...
What's pckbc0 ?
without pckbc0 is it just picking up keyboard input from the bios rather than directly from the
keyboard or something ?
How do I compile an install kernel without it and boot it ?
or can I some way to redirect to serial port and install from there ?
is there a better way ?
I think if I can get netbsd actually installed and running then I can then access it over ssh and
compile a custom kernel and use that, it's just the initial install that's defeating me

I'm using the standard NetBSD 4 ISO install CD

should I register failure to install on a HP DL140 G3 as a bug or something?

thanks for any help, Philip

This is a good point, I should have checked it :)
I suspect it's really a DL10019 chip then. can you check if it works
with the new patch I attached ?

Re: PCMCIA ne2000 compatible Ethernet card driver

2008-03-13T09:25:58Z

Some news.
I tried the solution provided by Christos. Same
problem ("Where did the card go?"). I verified, in
many sites, that the MAC address start with 00:c0:0c.
That address belongs to Relia Technologies, as
http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=00%3Ac0%3A0c
says. In fact, when Puppy Linux is booting, displays a
message about the Relia 2408T, which seems to be
compatible with my card (or my card is, internally, a
Relia), and this time I'm sure!
OpenBSD knows this card, or that shows the pcmciadevs
file in the CVS tree
(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/pcmcia/pcmciadevs?rev=1.131&content-type=text/plain).
The messages showed here are identical to the messages
my card shows (PCMCIA LAN, Ethernet, etc).
Linux seems to knows Relia, too.

One more thing. "cardctl ident" shows:
PRODID_1="PCMCIA LAN"
PRODID_2="Ethernet"
PRODID_3="A"
PRODID_4="004743118001"
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=6

Again... any ideas?
Thank you very much for your help, guys.

So did I. 0x00, 0xa0, 0x0c doens't match the ethernet address reported

We'll need more details about the chip used by this adapter.
Is there any way to get a more verbose message from linux ?

Linux reports 00:c0:0c as mac address ...
And I guess if this was the issue, he wouldn't get "were did the card go"
error, it would fail before that ...

I think the above line should be:

0, 0x0ff0, { 0x00, 0xa0, 0x0c }, 0 },

Tried. The good news? The kernel now recognizes the
card! In fact, the lines in dmesg are:
----------------------------------------------------
ne0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <PCMCIA LAN, Ethernet, A,
004743118001>
ne0: where did the card go?
----------------------------------------------------
The bad news? The second line. As the ne(4) man page
says about the line: "The driver found the card, but
was unable to make the card respond to complete the
configuration sequence."
So, the card isn't working at the time. Any ideas?

Greetings,
Javier
