Abstract

Svipul is a private documentation article, this is knowledge I have found that is worth to remember for me, but feel free to use all of it.

Find the online Documentation here…​.

The name Svipul comes from Norse mythology, and the domain is only taken because it was free and I wanted a domain name with Scandinavian reference.

The documentation is made with AsciiDoc and tools from AsciiDoctor.

All references that includes computer Operating Systems is for (Linux) Fedora, FreeBSD or OpenBSD, so do not expect to find any help in the world of other Operating Systems.

The information can be picked up here as a svipul.pdf file.

1. Information Technology

top

Systems being used, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux Fedora.

1.1. FreeBSD

Tips and trix in my setup of FreeBSD, configuration and use.

1.1.1. FreeBSD Work Station

Laptop Work Computer

Initial Steps

After a new install of FreeBSD is there several tasks and scripts to be performed.

root perform:

# freebsd-update fetch install
# mkdir /usr/local/etc/pkg
# mkdir /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
# sed -i '' -e 's/quarterly/latest/g' /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf (1)
1 The change in the pkg handling is because I prefer "latest" instead of the "quaterly".

Normal user perform:

$ rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' 192.168.0.5:bin .
$ mkdir doc
$ rsync -avuzb --exclude '*~' 192.168.0.5:doc/defaults doc/
$ bin/init_dotfiles.sh

When all is running correct (X, xfce etc..), copy the rest of the files from the server:

$ rsync_server.sh new
The scrips mentioned above (ending in .sh) is own scripts.
Find a lot of extra information in ports installation files.

  • Check /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf (both 5G and 2.4G)

  • Check bin/inst_pkg.lst

  • Run bogofilter for ham and spam to build initial database

  • Run freshclam for latest virus database.

  • Fetch ports from git server, see Handbook.

  • Make zfs ready for jail and install jail, check /etc/rc.conf.local.

  • SMTP to be set, either "msmtp" or the new base "dma".

Configuration

For the terminal with messages in english, edit .login_conf:

me:\
	:charset=UTF-8:\
	:lang=en_GB.UTF-8:\
	:setenv=LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.ISO8859-1,LC_NUMERIC=da_DK.UTF-8,LC_COLLATE=C:

For Lynx browser, add environment variabel (here tcsh) to .tcshrc:

setenv LYNX_CFG ~/.lynxrc

Then create .lynxrc with minimum following:

CHARACTER_SET:utf-8
ASSUME_CHARSET:utf-8

For shell scripts (sh) to supply correct locale if called from cron, add the LANG variabel to the shell script:

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
Using HeadPhones

To fix the headphone connector/jack (Lenovo T470s) on left side of the computer, find address:

$ sysctl -a |grep Headphones
dev.hdaa.0.nid33_original: 0x03211020 as=2 seq=0 device=Headphones
	conn=Jack ctype=1/8 loc=Left color=Black misc=0

dev.hdaa.0.nid33_config: 0x2121101f as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones
	conn=Jack ctype=1/8 loc=Ext-Rear color=Black misc=0

dev.hdaa.0.nid33: pin: Headphones (Black Jack)

Pin config: 0x2121101f as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones conn=Jack
	ctype=1/8 loc=Ext-Rear color=Black misc=0

So, it is hdaa.0.nid33_original that is on left side.

Now add to /boot/device.hints:

hint.hdaa.0.nid33_original="as=1 seq=15"

1.1.2. Z File System

Useful commands for the zfs, as root or sudo:

History of commands and actions in the zfs.

# zpool history

1.1.3. FreeBSD Server

Currently is the server a Lenovo ThinkCentre.

ZFS
Internal SSD:
+-------+
| zroot |
+-------+
      \
       +--------+
       | ada0p4 |
       +--------+

USB SSD for backup:
+---------+
| zbackup |
+----+----+
     |
+----+-----+
| mirror-0 |
+----------+
/           \
+-------+    +-------+
| da0p1 |    | da1p1 |
+-------+    +-------+

1.1.4. Format USB Stick

Format an USB stick with FAT32:

# gpart create -s MBR ${devicename}
# gpart add -t fat32 ${devicename}
# newfs_msdos -F 32 -L thumbdrive ${devicename}s1

1.1.5. SQLite3 Compiler

Use the gcc compiler, clang will not work…​ also add -lsqlite3 to the command line.

1.1.6. Garmin Quirks

To make FreeBSD "see" Garmin devices (on Lenovo T470s) when connected to USB and the device not is listed in the source code, add to /boot/loader.conf:

# Below is for Garmin to make it USB available or both LUNs available
#
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x091e 0x0d8a 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Instinct Solar
#
hw.usb.quirk.1="0x091e 0x23c0 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Dakota 20
#
hw.usb.quirk.2="0x091e 0x26c8 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Edge Touring+
hw.usb.quirk.3="0x091e 0x272c 0x0000 0xffff UQ_MSC_NO_INQUIRY"
#                       ^^^
#                       Edge 1030

See also the sourcecode in head/sys/dev/usb/quirk/usb_quirk.c and head/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs.

1.1.7. NanoVNA/TinySA Firmware

Install the dfu-util port to the FreeBSD system.

Make device enter DFU mode by one of following methods.

Jumper BOOT0 pin at powering device …​or Select menu Config→DFU (needs recent firmware)

Then, flash firmware using dfu-util via USB.

$ dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D build/ch.bin
The "-D" option is the path and name of the .bin file.

1.1.8. Arduino

More information about Arduino and the port arduino.

Install the avrdude port.

Command line uploads with avrdude, in the examples below the blink.c object code blink.hex is uploaded.

The hex code from the Arduino IDE (after it is compiled/verified), is placed in "/tmp/build*/\*.cpp.hex".

Arduino Duemilanove

For the board Arduino Duemilanove:

$ avrdude -V -F -c stk500v1 -p m328p -b 57600 -P /dev/cuaU0 -U flash:w:blink.hex
Arduino Uno

For the board Arduino Uno:

$ avrdude -V -F -c stk500v1 -p m328p -b 115200 -P /dev/cuaU0 -U flash:w:blink.hex

To get the serial communication to the USB/Serial port, use "cu":

$ cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 9600

1.1.9. Convert Mail eml to mbox

Install procmail that includes formail.

$ formail < file.eml > file.mbox

Open the mbox file with neomutt.

$ neomutt -f file.mbox

1.1.10. Hosting Hetzner

Web site and NextCloud is hosted in Germany / Iceland / Finland.

Hetzner Hetzner Documentation.

sFTP and FTP access is at following addresses, for sFTP is public keys uploaded to the "konsole" interface for each computer that need access (laptop and server):

$ ftp -N .netrc www163.your-server.de
$ sftp -i .ssh/id_rsa name@www163.your-server.de

Incoming and outgoing mail server is mail.your-server.de

1.1.11. ImageMagick

Mogrify Batch to Reduce Image Size

To reduce several images to 20% and orientate to correct orientation:

$ mogrify -verbose -auto-orient -enhance -resize 20% *.jpg
the -enhance option will increase the time to convert/resize.

1.1.12. Webcam on FreeBSD

  • pkg install webcamd

  • rc.conf.local webcamd="YES"

  • service webcamd start

  • devfs.rules add path 'video\*' mode 0660 group operator

  • use in browsers pkg install v4l-utils v4l_compat

  • test webcam with pwcview -d /dev/video0

1.1.13. Network File System NFS

The NFS system to mount a server filesystem on the laptop when a firewall is running will need changes to the server mountd to start with a fixed port. This involves:

  • /etc/rc.conf.local

  • /usr/local/etc/pf.conf

1.2. OpenBSD

OpenBSD tips and trix.

1.2.1. Find Wireless Card

mugin$ dmesg |less -S
