Thank you for doing this! I'm running your latest port & I've run Win98 and have installed NT4 under vmware. It seems very solid. I was expecting my machine to crash at least once, but it did not ;-) I have a few questions: - Is sound supposed to work? I have sound configured as: sound.present = TRUE sound.device = "/dev/dsp" My native sound device works for other linux things, like RealPlayerG2. cat /dev/sndstat tells me: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Dec 11 1999 13:41:02 Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x530 irq 5 drq 0:1 (1/1 channels duplex) I have set up the sound device in the guest OS'es as per the vmware instructions. However, I do not get any sound. - Are SCSI CD-ROM's supposed to work? When attempting to use one, Windows claims the device is not available & I see many messages on console: Dec 11 16:00:26 grasshopper /kernel: (cd0:ahc0:0:5:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Dec 11 16:00:26 grasshopper /kernel: (cd0:ahc0:0:5:0): Invalid field in CDB Dec 11 16:00:37 grasshopper /kernel: (cd0:ahc0:0:5:0): READ SUB-CHANNEL.

I'm just using NATD now in combination with host-only networking & all I care about is working fine. But I was just curious. I have appended a small patch to linprocfs_misc so that linprocfs reports memory size correctly.

But I was just curious. I really don't know what is the sense of bridging networking, may only to use some brain damaged protocols such as NetBEUI. If someone really needed the bridge networking, probable much more easy to enable BRIDGE support in kernel, and added support for bridge in the vmnet driver. > > I have appended a small patch to linprocfs_misc so that linprocfs > reports memory size correctly. Really this is patch must be addressed to Pierre Beyssac. If you are interested on more correctly work of .../meminfo I have just another patch, probably much more correct (probably only one leak in swap info). -- Vladimir Silyaev Index: linprocfs_misc.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/vns/cvs/linprocfs/sys/miscfs/linprocfs/linprocfs_misc.c,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 retrieving revision 1.2 diff -u -r1.1.1.1 -r1.2 --- linprocfs_misc.c 1999/12/06 05:35:02 1.1.1.1 +++ linprocfs_misc.c 1999/12/06 05:57:53 1.2 @@ -48,6 +48,8 @@ #include #include #include +#include +#include #include #include @@ -60,6 +62,41 @@ struct proc; +/* next function imported from /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/sysctlbyname.c */ +/* + * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + * "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42): + * wrote this file.

Exactly, not all information exported by sysctl available via global variables (and vice versa). And at all, sysctl is a more common interface. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Mon Dec 13 9:44:53 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from alpo.whistle.com (alpo.whistle.com [207.76.204.38]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 46A3D15199 for ; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 09:44:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ambrisko@whistle.com) Received: from whistle.com (ibmpc.whistle.com [207.76.205.196]) by alpo.whistle.com (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA12224; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 09:44:49 -0800 (PST) Received: (from ambrisko@localhost) by whistle.com (8.9.3/8.9.1) id JAA17715; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 09:26:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ambrisko) From: Doug Ambrisko Message-Id: <199912131726.JAA17715@whistle.com> Subject: Re: vmware questions In-Reply-To: <19991212204415.A18746@jupiter.delta.ny.us> from "Vladimir N.

I'm using the old voxware stuff on my machine because of troubles with the pcm stuff on my 770Z laptop. (Now before people tell me to fix it I'm working on getting the Aironet driver fixed and other things). I enabled sound in vmware via the configuration editor. Now Win95 plays sound on startup and RealAudio etc work with it. Doug A.

It basically hadn't worked at all between now & the introduction of newpcm. I'm using NT4 as my guest os. I have sound setup in NT4 the way vmware suggests (sb 1.x pro 16 driver, i/o 220, irq 5, dma chans 1 & 7, mpu-401 disabled). When I play sounds in windows, essentially nothing happens. There is no sound played, and the interrupt count for the pcm device as reported by vmstat -i does not increase. There are no complaints within windows, and sounds seem to take about the right amount of time to "play". There is nothing in the vmware log file having to do with sound, even with debugging turned on. Does anybody know which vmware thread is the one that's supposed to be handling sound I/O?

Yes, I have installed Windows 98 inside VMware. You don't need MSCDEX, unless you want to boot DOS first. Windows 98 can boot straight off the CD. It gives you several options to choose from - I presume the one you chose was "Start computer with CD-ROM support", which is the wrong one.

It seems that my Windows 98 CD isn't bootable. I just tried it on another system (which can boot the FreeBSD CDROMs with no difficulty), and it's unhappy with it. My next plan is to install Windows 98 under VMware on a Red Hat Linux box, and then just move the virtual IDE disk file over to freebsd. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Tue Dec 14 9:43:47 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from custmail.concentric.net (custmail.concentric.net [205.158.16.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 18A7F14FFB for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 09:43:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from vshah@rstcorp.com) Received: from assurance.rstcorp.com ([216.112.242.2]) by custmail.concentric.net (8.9.1/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA26929 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 09:43:33 -0800 (PST) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by assurance.rstcorp.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA06156; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:06:25 -0500 Received: from proxy.rstcorp.com(216.112.242.5) by assurance.rstcorp.com via smap (V2.0) id xma006144; Tue, 14 Dec 99 17:06:24 GMT Received: from jabberwock.rstcorp.com (jabberwock.rstcorp.com [192.168.2.98]) by sandbox.rstcorp.com (8.8.8+Sun/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA06975; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:06:11 -0500 (EST) Received: by jabberwock.rstcorp.com (Postfix, from userid 93) id 983C75BA8; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:06:18 -0500 (EST) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <14422.30985.965146.169145@jabberwock.rstcorp.com> Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:06:17 -0500 (EST) From: "Viren R.Shah" To: "Vladimir N.

Anyone got any ideas for alternate network configs? Hack: Change the vmnet1 interface to overlap with some part of your ethernet's address range and proxy-arp for the NT system's IP address. Eg: ifconfig vmnet1 192.168.4.253 netmask 255.255.255.252 arp -s 192.168.4.254 pub ... and set up your vmware NT VM to use IP address 192.168.4.254. - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, newton@atdot.dotat.org but it hurt when I walked.

I didn't have any problems about 3 months ago. Installed Linux emulation and then just ran isql. My problem was trying to build applications (especially Perl DBD) based on the Linux Sybase library and it got to be too much of a headache. You might want to take a look at FreeTDS, which is evolving very rapidly, and should allow you to connect natively from FreeBSD. You can also proxy your requests through a Linux machine if you are using Perl as the new DBD/DBI library has proxy capabilities.

I'm replacing a SCO server by a FreeBSD one using ibcs. The terminals are connected via Lan and cables attached to a Cyclades multiserial board. The app runs Ok at the console server and at the Lan terminals(via Telnet) though it requires TERM=ansi to function properly. The problem arises when I try to call it at a serial terminal using minicom or dip. The terminal is configured as ansi The /etc/ttys shows ttyc0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" ansi on insecure At the terminal I could make login ok and call any application, such as lynx, vi, etc.. But if I call the main application the terminal hangs without showing nothing, no more keys are accepted. It seems the connection to the server is lost though the processe running the application is showed (running at ttyc0) by ps. Any ideas about that.? I tried to put the output of stty -a identical to the output showed by the same command on terminals where the app runs ok. Greetings.

Okay so the problem is not glibc per se, it's the following - From the glibc FAQ - 2.8. When I run an executable on one system which I compiled on another, I get dynamic linker errors. Both systems have the same version of glibc installed. What's wrong? {ZW} Glibc on one of these systems was compiled with gcc 2.7 or 2.8, the other with egcs (any version). Egcs has functions in its internal `libgcc.a' to support exception handling with C++. They are linked into any program or dynamic library compiled with egcs, whether it needs them or not. Dynamic libraries then turn around and export those functions again unless special steps are taken to prevent them. When you link your program, it resolves its references to the exception functions to the ones exported accidentally by libc.so. That works fine as long as libc has those functions. On the other system, libc doesn't have those functions because it was compiled by gcc 2.8, and you get undefined symbol errors. The symbols in question are named things like `__register_frame_info'. So it looks like the linux port glibc stuff must have been compiled with 2.8 (or older) and the framemaker stuff uses glibc compiled by egcs.

I run FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE and was still using the old linux_lib port, so I thought that the easiest way to get the correct glibc for Framemaker/Linux was to remove the linux_lib port and use the new linux_base 6.1 port. The installation of this port fails, however, because invocation of /compat/linux/bin/bash fails with "Bad system call (core dumped)". This first happens during the installation phase when the bash rpm package is being installed. (/compat/linux/bin/bash is already the bash from this rpm package - of course I deleted the old linux_lib /compat/linux tree before installing the new one) I assume the problem is that my linux kernel module is too old. Is there an easiy way to update *only* the linux.ko kernel module without having to do a full cvsup and make world to get to FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE? I don't want to touch the base system currently, but an updated Linux emulator would be great.

If you upgrade any modules, you should upgrade your kernel. Since you're running -stable, there may be a change that you can just compile linux.ko with the updated source, although I wouldn't exactly advise that :-) You don't necessarily have to upgrade the world if you upgrade the kernel. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Fri Dec 17 12:57:43 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from overcee.netplex.com.au (overcee.netplex.com.au [202.12.86.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D6FDC157D5 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 12:57:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from peter@netplex.com.au) Received: from netplex.com.au (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by overcee.netplex.com.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B65F1CA0; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 04:57:36 +0800 (WST) (envelope-from peter@netplex.com.au) X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 To: Guido van Rooij Cc: Jakob Alvermark , freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: Re: vmware and vmnet In-Reply-To: Message from Guido van Rooij of "Fri, 17 Dec 1999 10:33:37 +0100." <19991217103337.A79750@gvr.gvr.org> Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 04:57:36 +0800 From: Peter Wemm Message-Id: <19991217205736.3B65F1CA0@overcee.netplex.com.au> Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Guido van Rooij wrote: > On Thu, Dec 16, 1999 at 11:03:02AM +0100, Jakob Alvermark wrote: > > Hi. > > > > I'm running Windows 98 SE inside vmware, even fullscreen mode works after > > I installed vmware-tools.

Updating your kernel too may break things like ps if there have been changes to the kvm interface. Or it may not: you could always save your old module/kernel, update them and see if it works, and drop back to the old ones if not. It shouldn't cause any damage other than certain binaries not working (at worst). cvsup your kernel sources and rebuild the appropriate bit (sys/modules/linux or the usual procedure for rebuilding the kernel) Kris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Sat Dec 18 15:43:44 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from netcore.fi (netcore.fi [193.94.160.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6642914C9E for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 15:43:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Pekka.Savola@netcore.fi) Received: from unf (netcore.fi [193.94.160.1]) by netcore.fi (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id BAA07438 for ; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 01:43:40 +0200 Message-Id: <3.0.6.32.19991219014340.007fc570@netcore.home> X-Sender: pekkas@netcore.home X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.6 (32) Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 01:43:40 +0200 To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org From: Pekka Savola Subject: fsck.ext2 linux emulation: unimplemented system calls Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello all, On my 3.3-RELEASE (now 3.4-RC) I have an ext2fs partition, which contains my old home dirs.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all, First, I just wanted to say thanks to Vladimir and the other folks working on the VMware port. Excellent work! I have just recently installed VMware and have stumbled on a several problems: 1. The virtual machine refuses to boot windoze boot floppies (my win95 cdrom is not bootable). I tried 4 or 5 different floppies I had laying around and every time during the boot, the virtual machine appears to freeze right before you would expect the dos prompt to appear. As a result of this I had to build a virtual disk with windows on a linux box and ftp it over to my bsd box (vmware under linux does not have any problem with the boot floppies). 2. When running VMware I see many messages saying: "linux: syscall setresuid is obsoleted or not implemented (pid=255)" going to the console. 3. Perhaps related to 2., I notice that windows seems to freeze for 2-3 seconds (with disk activity during this freeze and more messages like in 2. going to the console) every 3-4 minutes. Is this somehow related to VMware needing a /dev/rtc device? If so, is there any practical way to satisfy this need? One last question: I was curious what the plans for the linprocfs were? This port seems like a major help to linux emulation! Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. -- Regards, Devin.

I can't successfully boot with the Windows 98 boot floppy. I had thought it was the CD drivers, but starting with the no cdrom option still freezes. When I do a shift-F8 it freezes at ECHO OFF no matter what options I've selected so far. I can boot with a 6.2 system floppy. I used it to fdisk, format, and start the install of '98. I have also seen the momentary freezes. If this is related to /dev/rtc, VMware tools has an option to disable it. I haven't tried this yet as I haven't grabbed the tools. I have to thank you Vladimir. Wonderful work. Now if I can just get networking to cooperate I'll be set. -- Jeremy L.

The IDE light on the vmware screen is off, yet there is a tremendous amount of disk activity going on (as seen from iostat or systat -vmstat). I am seeing 100 transaction per second. There is no paging or swapping going on (as seen by FreeBSD), so I can only assume that something is happening inside the virtual drive. But it is NOT NT doing that because otherwise we'd see the IDE pseudo led on... Are there any people that run NT in vmware on a Linux box listening here?

Yes, this is not a problem, but in such case vmware call the setresuid syscall, which don't implemented in the Linux emulator. When you will run the VMware from root (when uid==euid), setresuid will be never called. > > I am seeing the same freezes.

So, this is clearly only a problem under BSD. When I was first setting up VMware under FreeBSD I remember a dialog box which warned me that because I was missing a /dev/rtc device, menus in windows may be jerky and or hesitate, and windows would loose time. I am thinking that this may be the problem. I will try disabling VMware's access to /dev/rtc under Linux and see if that exhibits the same behavior. I'll post my results. -- Regards, Devin.

This is a good news. But I don't know how this can help to resolve a original problem. I don't know what the VMware application doing when it's freezing, earlier I thought about select to /dev/vmmon, and last version of freebsd vmmon driver have implementation for poll method, but freezing still occurred. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Sun Dec 19 19:43:49 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from gate.keisu.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp (ns06.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp [133.11.68.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id E3680151A6 for ; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 19:43:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from simokawa@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp) Received: (qmail 62601 invoked from network); 20 Dec 1999 03:43:27 -0000 Received: from sylph.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp (10.6.1.20) by ns06.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp with SMTP; 20 Dec 1999 03:43:27 -0000 Received: from ett.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp (ett.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp [10.6.1.30]) by sylph.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp (Postfix) with ESMTP id C5B202DAA9; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 12:43:25 +0900 (JST) Received: from ett.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp by ett.sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp (8.9.3/sat-V0.6) id MAA59381; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 12:43:24 +0900 (JST) Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 12:43:23 +0900 Message-ID: From: Hidetoshi Shimokawa To: vsilyaev@mindspring.com Cc: guido@gvr.org, freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG, dbutter@wireless.net Subject: Re: VMware: Questions...

The file is usually named /var/tmp/ram0 but it's unlinked right after opened so you cannot see it by 'ls' although it exits. Fortunately, MAP_NOSYNC is available recently. I use the following patch.

It would be nice if the VFS/VM system detected this automatically and switched on NOSYNC for files that got unlinked... I wouldn't be suprised if this is what Linux does. Matt, is this possible?

You then do the following: 1) Setup the vmnet interface in the guest OS with ip x.2 and ip alias 192.168.254.1 (in any case an ip number on an unused network in your environment) 2) Set up the FreeBSD box with vmnet interface 192.168.254.2 and ping the guest. 3) do an arp -na and write down the mac address (say M) that matches 192.168.254.1 4) On the FreeBSD box do: arp -s 192.168.254.1 M pub arp -s x.2 M pub route add x.2 192.168.254.1 sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.proxyall=1 This should do it. Remember that ethernet broadcasts will not be passed through the FreeBSD box. If you need that, don't set the proxyall and fowarding sysctls, but use dummynet on the FreeBSD box. With Windows NT you will want to hard configure your WINS server. -Guido To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Mon Dec 20 10:23: 1 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from gvr.gvr.org (gvr.gvr.org [194.151.74.97]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D25501529E for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 10:22:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from guido@gvr.org) Received: by gvr.gvr.org (Postfix, from userid 657) id 71064A84F; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 19:22:57 +0100 (CET) Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 19:22:57 +0100 From: Guido van Rooij To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FAQ: how to set up networking transparently Message-ID: <19991220192257.A92941@gvr.gvr.org> References: <19991220191919.A92871@gvr.gvr.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i In-Reply-To: <19991220191919.A92871@gvr.gvr.org>; from Guido van Rooij on Mon, Dec 20, 1999 at 07:19:19PM +0100 Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Eh...I forgot to mention that this refers to the VMWare port ;-) -Guido On Mon, Dec 20, 1999 at 07:19:19PM +0100, Guido van Rooij wrote: > > What I do is the following: > > Suppose the FreeBSD box has interface if0 on your ethernet. > Suppose further it has ip address x.1 where x is the network number. > Suppose further that you want your guest os to be known as ip x.2. > > You then do the following: > > 1) Setup the vmnet interface in the guest OS with ip x.2 and ip alias > 192.168.254.1 (in any case an ip number on an unused network in your > environment) > 2) Set up the FreeBSD box with vmnet interface 192.168.254.2 and ping > the guest. > 3) do an arp -na and write down the mac address (say M) that matches > 192.168.254.1 > 4) On the FreeBSD box do: > arp -s 192.168.254.1 M pub > arp -s x.2 M pub > route add x.2 192.168.254.1 > sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 > sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.proxyall=1 > > This should do it.

There's an entry on freshmeat for it: The user-mode Linux kernel is a port of the Linux kernel to its own system call interface. It runs in a set of processes, resulting in a user-mode virtual machine. It is a nearly fully-functional 2.3.31 kernel, lacking only preemption and kernel modules. Its hardware support includes block devices, a console, virtual consoles, a serial line, and a network device. People who should try it out include developers who want to do kernel development and debugging in user space with gdb, gprof, gcov, etc, anyone who wants to safely try out the latest kernel, anyone who wants to try out new distributions, and the terminally curious who want to poke around inside a running system.

I have Windows 98 installed in it after some issues, and would like to share my observations, in case they are helpful. 1. The audio works with OSS. I loaded the Atomic3d plugin and played some of the Filthy 3d Jokeman stuff. It was a little hicupy, but what do you want from an emulator? :-) 2. The network works fine too. I have NAT running on my box and Win98 can see the Internet. Hooray! 3. There is definately some problems with SCSI as opposed to IDE CDROMs that is tripping up vmware: A. Opening an empty CDROM device results in EIO on EIDE and ENXIO on SCSI. This means that when you "power on" you must have a CD in a SCSI CDROM or else you won't get to use the CDROM at all. I suspect changing the error for the SCSI device to make it consistent would be a good thing. I will open a PR for this. B. Attempting to open the CDROM device from Windows results in: (cd0:ahc0:0:4:0): READ SUB-CHANNEL. CDB: 42 0 40 1 0 0 a2 0 18 0 (cd0:ahc0:0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 (cd0:ahc0:0:4:0): Invalid field in CDB My only guess is that this is in cdreadsubchannel() in cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c, but I am not a SCSI guru. I was able to install from the win98 CD. However, in order to finish installing network and sound drivers, I had to boot the CD again, tell it to 'boot DOS with CD-ROM support' and then copy d:\win98\*.cab onto a folder on the hard disk. Windows still can't see the CDROM, but at least I can give it a folder when it wants to load drivers and stuff.

OK, in spite of my original plans, I have now re-made the world. Now the linux base 6.1 port installed just fine, and my Linux applications still work, even though I am on stable, not on current. Now I also need the linux devtools. I notice Marcel still has not put the 6.1 version of those on his homepage. For the time until he does, can I use the 6.0 devtools, i.E. mix them with the 6.1 base port? Or will this cause additional problems? The rpm's are quite some amount to download, so I thought I'd ask beforehand.

I too am in need of devtools-6.1...regarding this I have a couple questions: 1. Is devtools-6.1 going to be the same set of packages as devtools-6.0, but the newer versions of those packages? In other words, what if anything will be different (aside from package versions) between the 6.0 and 6.1 devtools? 2. Would it be safe to manually upgrade the packages that were installed by devtools-6.0, or would I break something? Thanks again! -- Regards, Devin.

Yes, devtools-6.1 will be based on the same set of packages, unless someone can give me a good reason to not do that of course :-) > 2. Would it be safe to manually upgrade the packages that were installed > by devtools-6.0, or would I break something? It's safe in principle, because that's how you would upgrade a RH machine. Just keep in mind that linux_base imstalls rpm-3.0.x and our ports collection has rpm-2.5.x and the database formats differ. rpm-3 automaticly converts rpm-2 databases, so that when you've used rpm-3, you cannot use rpm-2 anymore. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Wed Dec 22 8:37: 3 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from hurricane.columbus.rr.com (columbus.rr.com [204.210.252.19]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C89F14FD7 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 08:36:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from caa@columbus.rr.com) Received: from columbus.rr.com ([24.95.60.151]) by hurricane.columbus.rr.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-53939U80000L80000S0V35) with ESMTP id com for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 11:36:44 -0500 Received: (from caa@localhost) by columbus.rr.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id LAA51695 for freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 11:36:54 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from caa) Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 11:36:54 -0500 From: "Charles Anderson" To: FreeBSD Emulation ML Subject: linux quake3 & glx direct rendering Message-ID: <19991222113654.A51562@midgard.dhs.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm trying to get glx to do direct rendering under Freebsd with quake3.

I hope I am not yet bothering you with my questions ;-). Today is my "I want to get all those Linux goddies working" day :-). I have tried to install Staroffice 5.1A for Linux now. With linux_base 6.1, not even the setup program worked. As I read the warning that linux_base 6.1 may not work properly on -STABLE, I have backed out linux_base 6.1 and installed linux_base 5.2 (which comes with FreeBSD 3.4). I had a Redhat 5.2 CD at hand, luckily :-). With this, the installation started successfully. I followed the guidelines and Howtos that I found here and on the Web. No matter which variation I went, all those recipes that involved calling "./setup /net", i.E. a multiuser installation, worked without problems, but when I, as a user, then (after the personal installation) started "soffice" (the proper one from /usr/local/lib/Office51/bin), it just starts the installation program which tells me that "/home/tobi/Office51/sofficerc" cannot be found and that I should try to repair it. However that file is present and looks valid. I examined .sversionrc, Office51/sofficerc, and all the scripts, and they looked right - but I was simply not able to start Staroffice. Then I tried another howto, available at http://www.serv.net/~mcglk/staroffice-install.html. This recipe involves doing a normal installation (without /net) parameter, and provides a shell script that each user can run, which transmogrifies the single-user installation into a multiuser one, i.E. the script copies some files from th=F6e installation location into the home directory and then starts Staroffice. This way, it worked, i.E. I effectively got a multiuser installation, could start Staroffice and work with it. However, it has the one problem, which is also documented in this recipe, that upon startup, I get an error message telling me that the "PluginManager" could not be loaded. After all I have read, this error is due to a wrong applicat.rdb. The only problem is - I have patched my applicat.rdb, it now shows the right checksum, but the damn thing still doesn't work. I even re-installed and patched applicat.rdb right after the first "./setup" run, but it did not help either. I get some other error messages like these when running Staroffice (e.g. when using the AutoPilot), which probably are related to the first one. Do you have any suggestions?

I'd like to add the patches to the english version too: - Check if there is a DISPLAY set, make DISPLAY= ... - Check if we have a JDK installed or not ... Else the soffice script will break if there is no JDK. - Symlink /usr/local/Office51 to /compat/linux ... if /compat/linux/usr/local exists. - Post-install is automaticly executed if one starts make install. So I removed the message about executing it. Else the port is almost the same. Can you look at the port and tell me what you think about the modifications ? I have already had three users which tested it without any help and it worked :) You can find the port at: http://www.attic.ch/ports/staroffice5-german.tar.gz I'm interested too if you have seen the same staroffice freezes as I have. If you double-click in the SO-Filerequester on a file, one SO thread locks and loops forever. Did you experience similar problems with SO51a ?

I doubt it though, but my knowledge on that part of the system is rather limited. A quick workaround could be to look at the ref count of the underlying inode of the fd passed to the linux mmap If the refcount is one then clearly the inode is no being referenced through a directory entry in the file system. This could even be done for the general mmap call (provided a regular file of course). But it might be a very specific situation because one usually would not used a file backed mmap in FreeBSD, yet use an anonymous mmap. -Guido To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Wed Dec 22 15:44:43 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from x-montana.utcorp.com (x-montana.utcorp.com [146.145.135.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AE798150E0 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 15:44:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kseel@utcorp.com) Received: from utcorp.com (x-kspc.utcorp.com [146.145.135.17]) by x-montana.utcorp.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA01231 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 18:45:13 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from kseel@utcorp.com) Message-ID: <38616328.54F35E73@utcorp.com> Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 18:47:53 -0500 From: Kurt Seel X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Terminal problems with ibcs emulation Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have an sco executable that I have been running on BSDI for ~3 years.

Thank you very mucs for that overwhelming amount of answers to my Staroffice problems. I tried all suggesstions you gave me, but unfortunately, it still does not work. Here again a summary, as some of you asked about the details: - FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE (cvsupped on Monday, re-made world and kernel) - linux_base 5.2 (from the ports tree also cvsupped on Monday) Now a detailed report of what I have done now: - Aquired root privileges - Removed all remenscants of older installation attempts. Really all of them. - Placed the staroffice distribution tarball to /usr/ports/distfiles - Downloaded the "German Staroffice 5.1a" port that has been announced here yesterday - Done the base installation with that very port. - Done ln -s /home /compat/linux/home - Changed back to user privileges - Put $PREFIX/Office51/bin and $HOME/Office51/bin to my PATH - Invoked $PREFIX/Office51/bin/setup and clicked a lot of buttons ;-) - After that, invoked $HOME/Office51/bin The result is unchanged: I get a dialog box telling me that in my Staroffice installation, the file "/home/tobi/Office51/sofficerc" file cannot be found, and that the installation program can try to repair that file if I wish. The file was there, though, and of course the "repair" would not help. I did then a truss on "soffice" to find out what that damn thing was actually looking for, and this is what struck my eyes: First, there are some read commands that fail obscurely like this: syscall read(0x6,0xbfbfd12c,0x20) errno -11 'Resource temporarily unavailable' some lines later, there is: syscall linux_newstat("E#^F(o^(/^G",0xbfbfcdac) errno -2 'No such file or directory' (the actual garbage in the string is a little different, but my editor would not accept that garbage to be dropped into it ...). Soon after, there is one "SIGNAL 20" and three "SIGNAL 30". I am open for any suggestions and will try them after Christmas. Which reminds me: a Merry Christmas to you all. :-) Kind Regards, Tobias.

My personal suggestion about this, that in the Linux emulator we can safety use the original Hidetoshi patch, because I assume that Linux never do syncing a mmaped files. I'm not discover the linux code about that, and don't do any experiment. Of course, this don't cancel the proposition about NO_ASYNC and unreferenced files. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Thu Dec 23 19:53:23 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from smtp10.atl.mindspring.net (smtp10.atl.mindspring.net [207.69.200.246]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 715BC14A00 for ; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 19:53:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from vsilyaev@mindspring.com) Received: from mindspring.com (user-2iniik1.dialup.mindspring.com [165.121.74.129]) by smtp10.atl.mindspring.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA29460 for ; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 22:53:03 -0500 (EST) Received: (from vsilyaev@localhost) by mindspring.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA98272 for freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 22:53:01 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from vsilyaev) Date: Thu, 23 Dec 1999 22:52:09 -0500 From: "Vladimir N.

As I wrote before, it's look like impossible to use RTC, because it already used for statistics gathering and for profiling. So on a FreeBSD time resolution is limited by clock frequency, usually it's equal 100 Hz, in the Linux case it's limited by max RTC frequence that equal (?) 1024 Hz. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Fri Dec 24 5:25: 1 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from cage.tse-online.de (cage.tse-online.de [194.97.69.170]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 3D538151F8 for ; Fri, 24 Dec 1999 05:24:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from ab@cage.tse-online.de) Received: (qmail 59296 invoked by uid 1000); 24 Dec 1999 13:25:56 -0000 Date: Fri, 24 Dec 1999 14:25:56 +0100 From: Andreas Braukmann To: freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: VMware: Questions...

I've installed a "Win 98 second edition" on my very first vmware virtual machine just a few minutes ago.

I just deinstalled the jdk and installed staroffice and it all worked alright. Also I have a patch laying here waiting for me to use which will allow you to set the TMPDIR variable so that you don't have to use your /tmp directory.
