This email is slightly different.) Do we have any branded NetBSD icons called gnome-main-menu.svg, novell-button.svg, start-here.svg, and distributor-logo.svg? Anyone interested in providing these? See the gnome-icon-theme, oxygen-icons, or tango-icon-theme (or upcoming elementary-icon-theme) packages for examples. They may be the same image (symlink) or different images for each. The sizes are: 22x22 24x24 48x48 64x64 128x128 But these would be fine also: 16x16 32x32 256x256 scalable These svg (and png) files could be put into a package called netbsd-icon-theme. It already exists at pkgsrc-wip. I am also looking for NetBSD wallpaper and other artwork like: 352x125 logout-banner.png 1280x1024 netbsd-default-wallpaper.png 64x26 (64 width includes 20+ pixels of transparency on right) or 36x36 netbsd-logo.png for panel menu button Well for the bottom one I did find that the gnome-desktop package provides 48x48: share/pixmaps/netbsd-logo-icon-transparent.png share/pixmaps/netbsd-logo-icon.png Maybe these should be split from that package and put into a new package called netbsd-artwork. I have a package in pkgsrc-wip called netbsd-light-desktop-artwork which has some artwork taken from lubuntu's artwork package. The official logo and contributed artwork is at http://www.netbsd.org/gallery/logos.html The purpose for all this is to have read-to-use packages that can be dependencies for various desktop and display manager packages to provide some NetBSD theme. </pre> Jeremy C.

However, tracepath is part of (Linux) iputils which seem to be just Linux centric. Is someone aware of and similar tool for *BSD systems? Re, /P </pre> Fredrik Pettai 2012-05-25T12:13:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33112 <pre>Hello, I've been trying to boot a netbsd INSTALL kernel from pxelinux, but so far I haven't got much success. I've tried with 6.0BETA amd64 INSTALL kernels and it seems to be compiled without MULTIBOOT options, which makes them useless with pxelinux. I've tried adding "options MULTIBOOT" to the sys/arch/amd64/conf/INSTALL conf file, but the resulting kernel is still not booting with pxelinux. I'm using the following pxelinux configuration: label netbsd6-install kernel mboot.c32 append rogerpau/netbsd-INSTALL Which gives "Fatal: not a multiboot kernel." error when using amd64 versions, but with i386 I've got a little bit more success, I'm able to boot the install kernel, that seems to come with multiboot activated by default on config file, but since I'm on a serial console I'm not able to see any output, and the machine reboots shortly after booting the kernel, to get serial console output I've tried passing "consdev com1", but I'm not really sure this is the correct syntax to use with pxelinux. label netbsd6-install kernel mboot.c32 append rogerpau/netbsd-INSTALL consdev com1 Does someone know how to set the console output for NetBSD kernels from pxelinux, and why amd64 kernels seem to be not multiboot valid (at least for mboot.c32/pxelinux). Thanks, Roger. </pre> Roger Pau Monné 2012-05-24T14:56:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33107 <pre> I ended up figuring out my issues, but I'm thinking this note may be useful to others. summary: Does raidframe on dkN via gpt work? (yes, it seems to) Does the "absent" keyword in raidctl still work? (yes, but with -C) My system is up-to-date netbsd-5/i386. I just got two 2T SATA drives, intending to migrate a system from 2 * 400G RAID-1 to a RAID-1 pair with the new drives. (Not relevant, I think: I got one Seagate and one Hitachi drive, both 7200 rpm, to reduce the chance of correlated failures.) I put the Seagate drive in an Aluratek docking enclosure, and it shows up as sd4 and seems to work. I used gpt create, gpt add, gpt label, and addwedge, and can access dk0. It looks fine (yes, I started at 64 not 34 due to 4K sectors which I probably have): start size index contents 0 1 PMBR 1 1 Pri GPT header 2 32 Pri GPT table 34 30 64 3907029071 1 GPT part - NetBSD RAIDFrame component 3907029135 32 Sec GPT table 3907029167 1 Sec GPT header [There are no dk/wedge examples in the man page (on netbsd-5).] I am trying to get a deficient raid-1 set created; I created a raidframe config: START array 1 2 0 START disks /dev/dk0 absent START layout # sectPerSU SUsPerParityUnit SUsPerReconUnit RAID_level_1 128 1 1 1 START queue fifo 100 Then, trying to configure raid1 (raid0 is my 400G pair): # raidctl -v -c /etc/raid2T.conf raid1 Ignoring missing component at column 1 raid1: Component /dev/dk0 being configured at col: 0 Column: 0 Num Columns: 0 Version: 96 Serial Number: 0 Mod Counter: 0 Clean: No Status: 0 Number of columns do not match for: /dev/dk0 /dev/dk0 is not clean! raid1: Component absent being configured at col: 1 Column: 0 Num Columns: 0 Version: 0 Serial Number: 0 Mod Counter: 0 Clean: No Status: 0 Column out of alignment for: absent Number of columns do not match for: absent absent is not clean! raid1: There were fatal errors RAIDFRAME: failed rf_ConfigureDisks with 22 raidctl: ioctl (RAIDFRAME_CONFIGURE) failed: Invalid argument I reran with -C and it configured: Ignoring missing component at column 1 raid1: Component /dev/dk0 being configured at col: 0 Column: 0 Num Columns: 0 Version: 96 Serial Number: 0 Mod Counter: 0 Clean: No Status: 0 Number of columns do not match for: /dev/dk0 /dev/dk0 is not clean! raid1: Component absent being configured at col: 1 Column: 0 Num Columns: 0 Version: 0 Serial Number: 0 Mod Counter: 0 Clean: No Status: 0 Column out of alignment for: absent Number of columns do not match for: absent absent is not clean! raid1: There were fatal errors raid1: Fatal errors being ignored. raid1: RAID Level 1 raid1: Components: /dev/dk0 component1[**FAILED**] raid1: Total Sectors: 3907028992 (1907729 MB) It seems that 'absent' is not an error, and forcing should not be necessary. Then -I to label, and -i to initialize, per the man page, and now things seem normal. </pre> Greg Troxel 2012-05-23T12:44:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33106 <pre>Hi all, Recently I want to upgrade my thinkpad x60 from netbsd/i386 5.1 to 6.0 branch, so I cvs update the /usr/src $ cvs up -dP -r netbsd-6 and following the instruction: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-updating.html#updating-summary After I build and replace the GENERIC kernel with new one, the reboot step cannot succeeded. The screen only display the first line message and reboot immediately. I knew the new netbsd-6 kernel using modules under i386, so I try the MONOLITHIC kernel, but it failed boot, too. Then I copy the fresh 6.0 destdir.i386/usr/mdec/boot to /boot, destdir.i36/stand/i386/6.0 to /stand/i386. Boot the system, this time the screen show more one line: Loading /stand/i386/6.0/modules/ffs/ffs.kmod and reboot again. Add -vx boot options, no verbose and debug messages appeared. I also try the same upgrading procedure on another PC box, it has netbsd/i386 5.1 installed, and boot new kernel encounter the same reboot problem. The bootloader on these systems is GRUB 0.97. Did I miss some important things with new version boot before launching the new kernel? The attachment is the dmesg output from my x60.

I have a Soekris 4801 with an aging 2.5" 30 GB ATA drive that is starting to worry me: $ grep geode /var/log/messages May 20 15:07:17 cherry /netbsd: geodeide0:0:0: lost interrupt May 20 15:07:17 cherry /netbsd: geodeide0:0:0: bus-master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x1 These errors send the OS into a tailspin. The machine stops responding even though das blinkenlights show the disk hard on. Is there any reason to think the above messages might be caused by anything other than a disk headed south for the summer? The 4801 was the cat's meow in 2004, but it's getting old. Is it fair to expect another 5 years from the electronics, or is it time to replace it? If so, with what? A friend mentioned a $99 tiny box, but for the life of me I don't remember its name. Nor his. :-( Replacing a drive is an option, but only if it's a good one. Afaict ATA drives with a 5-year warranty don't exist anymore, whether spinning or solid-state. If I don't care about shock and vibration, is there any reason to believe SSDs last longer than rotating media? Many thanks for the benefit of your experience. --jkl </pre> James K.

I have a couple of external drives that currently are mounted on boot with an fstab entry, which works well, but the other day the power went off for quite a while and the UPS didn't last that long. On boot, one of these drives needed to be checked by hand and I got cut off from the server until I got back. Now, if I use amd, then the machine will mount the external drives if they are available and have no problems (I believe). So I'll like to give it a try, but I have a minor problem... Is not working for me and I found the documentation a bit confusing. Please comment on the following: amd.conf ------ snipet --------- [ /media ] map_type = file map_name = /etc/amd.media ------ end snipet ---- amd.media -------- file starts ----------- /defaults type=ffs;opts=rw,log,noatime disk1 dev:/dev/sd1e ---------- end of file --------- Any pointers please?

As a stress test, I ran a build.sh -Uo release on sources stored on a replicated and stripped glusterfs volume (2 replicating severs each aggregating 2 disks). As you can see below, the build took 74 hours to complete, which is not exciting, but it completed without a hassle, and with one of the servers rebooting during the operation. For anyone willing to test, glusterfs is in pkgsrc. A client doesnot need any special treatment. Running a glusterfs server requires a custom kernel with extended attributes enabled (and it needs kernel sources from netbsd-6 as of today, as the last pullups have just been processed) make release started at: Sun May 13 14:12:36 CEST 2012 make release finished at: Wed May 16 17:35:14 CEST 2012 ===&gt; Successful make release ===&gt; build.sh ended: Wed May 16 17:35:14 CEST 2012 ===&gt; Summary of results: build.sh command: ./build.sh -Uo release build.sh started: Sun May 13 14:12:17 CEST 2012 NetBSD version: 5.1 MACHINE: i386 MACHINE_ARCH: i386 Build platform: NetBSD 6.0_BETA i386 HOST_SH: /bin/sh TOOLDIR path: /gfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/obj/tooldir.NetBSD-6.0_BETA-i386 DESTDIR path: /gfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/obj/destdir.i386 RELEASEDIR path: /gfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/obj/releasedir makewrapper: /gfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/obj/tooldir.NetBSD-6.0_BETA-i386/bin/nbmake-i386 Updated /gfs/manu/netbsd/usr/src/obj/tooldir.NetBSD-6.0_BETA-i386/bin/nbmake-i386 Successful make release build.sh ended: Wed May 16 17:35:14 CEST 2012 ===&gt; . </pre> Emmanuel Dreyfus 2012-05-19T15:10:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33080 <pre>After installing cups-pdf, tried adding cups-pdf through cups web ui. As per cups-pdf documentation, a "Virtual PDF printer" is supposed to appear in the list when trying to add a printer, though I did not find anything like that. I could add a printer through lpadmin command, after which it appeared in cups web ui. It is accepting jobs also, however it isn't producing pdfs. As per the settings pdfs are supposed to go to /var/spool/cups-pdf, though nothing is getting generated there. Tried lpr as root, tried printing test page from cups web ui, though nothing produced a pdf. Would appreciate your help.

I uncompressed it (1409 MB) and tried to boot with qemu -hda amd64live.img. qmeu needs it to be writable so chmod u+w. It boots the boot loader. The kernel mostly boots. But then stops at: boot device: &lt;unknown&gt; root device: use one of: re0 wd0[a-p] cd0[a-p] ddb halt reboot I tried wd0a and then wd0b for swap. I tried generic file system, ffs, cd9660. I tried booting with -fda and -cdrom but these won't even boot the loader. Where are the doc and examples for booting this image with qemu? Thanks </pre> Jeremy C. Reed 2012-05-15T21:43:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/33065 <pre>Hi List, I changed the ftp-port in /etc/services to 6021. The simple reason is to avoid password scanning on port 21, it works well. One of the ftp users seems to get handicapped by some firewall or bad ftp-client and cannot log in on port 6021. Is it 'legal' to have multiple ports on one service? This is the current version of /etc/services: &lt;snip&gt; 115 ftp-data 20/tcp # File Transfer [Default Data] 116 ftp-data 20/udp # File Transfer [Default Data] 117 ftp 6021/tcp # File Transfer [Control] 118 ftp 6021/udp # File Transfer [Control] 119 ssh 22/tcp # SSH Remote Login Protocol 120 ssh 22/udp # SSH Remote Login Protocol &lt;/snip&gt; I would change it to: 115 ftp-data 20/tcp # File Transfer [Default Data] 116 ftp-data 20/udp # File Transfer [Default Data] ftp 21/tcp # File Transfer [Control] ftp 21/tcp # File Transfer [Control] 118 ftp 6021/udp # File Transfer [Control] 118 ftp 6021/udp # File Transfer [Control] 119 ssh 22/tcp # SSH Remote Login Protocol 120 ssh 22/udp # SSH Remote Login Protocol Will the ftp-server attach to 21 as well to 6021 (not the same user on both, maybe user A on 21, user B on 6021 simultaneously). I didnt dare to change it yet, dont want to leave the server non bootable or such troubles. Did anybody try such trick?

After I had set up the ipfilter with a quite extensive /etc/ipf.conf I wanted to have the results in a logfile. Whatever I do - ipmon doesnt generate any output. Since I wasnt sure about logging the output over syslog (to avoid possible configuration errors in syslog.conf) I tried the direct way by invoking: #ipmon -Dnf /home/herbs/ipf.log Nothing there. The ipfilter is working (ipfstat shows that) and an empty ipf.log exists too. Something is wrong. I also tried to set it in /etc/rc.d to ipmon=YES - no log data ... What am I doing wrong?
