Problem with freebsd on epia
Hi all. I've got a problem and I'm not sure if this is an xorg problem or a freebsd problem or a bit of both. I've currently got an Epia SP13000 running Freebsd 5.3 and I'm trying to configure it for Xwindows. Well, the kicker is, it uses the newer Via Unicrome pro graphics chip and I've been through the video config for xorg and can't find any trace of the driver for this, or any via driver anywhere. Nor is there anything in the ports either. What do I need to do to get the driver working on this so I can run X on this machine? Many thanks in advance. :D Steven Lake -Owner/Webmaster Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Problem with Epia 800 and Freebsd 5.3
What about installing 5.4-Release or -Stable? 5.4-Stable works fine here on an EPIA PD1. If you still get the error, it might be hardware related. Yeah, I'm starting to pick up other problems too, so this might be a much bigger issue than just a nic card. I had the 2nd HD get a dma failure and then lock the machine, so I guess I'm gonna have to pull it back out of service and run it on the bench for a while to be sure everything is fixed and running right again. Doh. And I just nicely got this off the bench. :( Steven Lake -Owner/Webmaster Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net Come see Monk the comic strip and laugh till you die! :) http://www.raiden.net/Monk/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem with Epia 800 and Freebsd 5.3
Just installed 5.3 onto an Epia 800 just a few weeks back and aside from the controlers being bloody picky as hell (got that fixed by using special cables), the stupid lan card is now giving me fits just a day after I put it into active service. Here's the error I'm getting in my logs repeatedly. vr0: rx packet lost vr0: watchdog timeout I rebooted it to clear the error and see if anything else showed up, and so far no errors since reboot. But I suspect that the errors will come back in short order. Anyone got any idea what's up with the box and what I might do to fix this? I checked the cable already like what was suggested in another forum post on another site that I googled, but I can't find anything else that stands out as being something that might be the cause of this issue. And yes, this board seems very picky under BSD, but it tested fine when I loaded windowsxp onto it when I was first testing it. Go figure. Any ideas?

Freebsd Print Server
Hi all. I'm building a Freebsd 5.3 based mini-itx file server on my network here and I'd like to also turn it into a print server. Thing is, I've got an HP Deskjet 842c printer that connects via USB that is my printer. It's not lan capable which kinda complicates things. THEREFORE, I'd like to connect it via USB to the new file server, then set it up to do printing for the whole network. Now, my questions are this. 1. What do I need to do to set this up on the file server? Heck, if someone's got a tutorial somewhere on setting up a print server using freebsd and can tell me what special configs I need to make my usb connected HP printer work off it, that'd be awesome. 2. What do I need to do to get my freebsd workstation to print to it? To date I haven't gotten around to configuring printing on the Freebsd Workstation (it's running 4.10) yet, so I think it's time I did that. Again, a tutorial would be welcome. 3. What do I have to do special, if anything, to allow my windows machines to print to the printer via the print/file server on the network? I'm running both 98se and WinXP Pro on them. Sorry to bug you guys with something so trivial, but google wasn't being friendly to me with this subject, so I'm coming to you guys next. Thanks in advance for any answers. :D Steven Lake -Owner/Webmaster Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net Come see Monk the comic strip and laugh till you die! :) http://www.raiden.net/Monk/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Questions about processes
Most of those processes are used by the kernel, some of them, if you aren't using the specific hardware or functionality they provide (such as USB or ktrace) can be disabled by compiling your own kernel (see here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/kernelconfig.html). While this may not provide a *HUGE* performance increase, it may be a good idea to try. I would also recommend, perhaps, adding some more RAM? :-) Hmm, interesting. I figured they might all be needed, but given the raw number that there were I was kind of shocked. My ps list in 4.x was a whole lot shorter so I thought that a lot of these were just a lot of unneeded processes that could simply be removed, but apparently not. heh. Thanks for the info. I guess I just found it weird to have a list like that come up. Especially with all the irq and other items appearing on that list.

Re: Questions about processes
These are kernel threads. 5.x is more modular than 4.x and a lot of functionality has been moved to internal threads (for the sake of SMP). There's really nothing wrong with this; esp. since the number of threads is still pretty small :) The kernel may create more such threads if it needs them; like e.g. when using GBDE or so. AH! So that explains those. Cool. Good info to know. ^_^ Is there a benefit to these threads being modular if I might ask? I'm sure there is, but I'm just curious what they might be. And I didn't think they took up all that much processor, so I wasn't so worried about that. It just kinda surprised me when I saw that huge list of processes when I listed them. hehe. I'm using the same hardware here. It is more than fast enough for this. Don't worry about those kernel threads, which are idle most of the time. The CPU time they consume would have been used up in 4.x too (as system time), you would just not see it with ps there as you can see it here. heh. Yeah, I'm still breaking this one in, but it's been a fabulous trooper so far and I think it's really going to do a lot of honor to our old server that's being retired after many, many fine years of service. :D Thanks again for the info. Curiousity can lead to learning a lot of cool things. I know I certainly learned a bunch from this!! ^_^ Steven Lake -Owner/Webmaster Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net Come see Monk the comic strip and laugh till you die! :) http://www.raiden.net/Monk/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Questions about processes
Hi all. Looking for some info about some processes I've got running on my box. I'm new to 5.3 having used the 4x line for a long time and I'm curious about my process list. When I do ps -ax I get the following list as seen below. Are all of these items really needed and if not, what items can I get rid of and how? The machine in question is a very simple fetching mail server running on a 500mhz Via Eden Mini-ITX board. Any insight would be welcome.

Problems with man
I've got a server that I just recently upgraded to the latest of everything, but for some reason when you type man and then what you want to look at the manual for I get this error: man: unable to find the file /etc/manpath.config I've looked under /etc and it's there and it's not corrupt or anything. So what might be wrong? Would this be a file system issue because the box DID reboot while it was registering the upgrade for bash. I've tried under CSH and TCSH and it's the same problem.

Anyone seen a fire server?
Hi all. Got a really interesting question. Someone mentioned this to me and I have yet to find evidence of it so far. Apparently some company out there makes a network file server of sorts that's not your typical network file server. What it is, is the box itself is a multi-port network hub of sorts. Basically each network branch could plug into it (up to 25 branches) and each would have individual access to the files on the box. Now here's the trick. The drives are stored externally and access via firewire. Yup, you heard me right. Externally, and via fire wire. Apparently from what I picked up, the drives themselves are 250gig high speed SCSI drives enclosed in a typical external drive housing that sits on top of the box and connects via firewire. The advantage being that you can both hot swap the drives, and you can take them over to your neighborhood workstation or any server on the lan, plug them in, do what you need, unplug them and take them back over to this network drive hub and plug them back in all without rebooting. I like the idea and I'm trying to find who has one so I can check it out. Anyone seen anything like this yet?

RE: FreeBSD filesystem 1TB Limit
Couldn't you just use NFS to bypass the 1TB restrictions? So when the main filesystem gets full, it spills over into nearby servers using the identical file system setup connected via fiber for top speed. This would technically only limit your system space based on how many servers you could efficiently attach to the same array. So if you could attach say 10 of these servers efficiently, then you could technically have a 10TB array.

Re: OpenSSH 3.5 in ports yet?
The ink on the announcement isn't dry yet and you're already asking why the world hasn't caught up yet. Ok. So I take it that this is a If you want to type upgrade. Sorry for not being in the loop. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to research much of anything. Sorry. You should know this if you're so worried about it. Again. too busy. Last time there was a must-have upgrade they announced it as a must-have upgrade. Ok. Just curious cause I didn't see the must have side of it, so I wasn't sure if it was something I missed or it just wasn't an issue.

KDE 3.1 - Opinions??
Hi. Just started to play with KDE 3.1, even though it's still in beta and I don't really have time to play with it technically. hehe. Either way, I've looked at it and I must say, the eye candy is rather nice and I'm kind of liking the look and feel of it, but at the same time, I can't get over the feeling that this looks way too much like Windows XP. What I'm generally curious of is other people's opinions of it so far. What do you think of it? Flaws, good points, other stuff like that. Thanks.

Shortcuts in KDE/Gnome
Silly me, but how do you make a shortcut to a program you just installed? I keep forgetting. It seems that after each time I install a new app on my desktop machine I have to create a shortcut to it, but I keep forgetting how. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

Event Trigger
Hi. I'm looking for a simple way to implement a trap and trigger so to speak. I'm wanting to setup the system so that the moment it detects a certain event in the system, it immediately executes another script or program to do something else, but not before, not after. I thought about Cron, but the thing is, I don't know when these events will happen so since they're so random, I need something to identify them then immediately run another script or program at that exact moment. Any suggestions? To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Mod_frontpage config error
Ran into something I'm not entirely sure how to fix. Was running the config script for configuring frontpage extentions on one of our apache servers by running the script /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/fp_install.sh on the server after installing mod_frontpage. But when I run it, all goes fine until I get to this one point. Here is an example of the output. Will chown web to www as part of install. Will chgrp web to www as part of install. Note: Local version of Apache must use the FrontPage Apache patch.Error: Cannot open srm.conf: no such file or folder. ERROR: / installation failed. Hit enter to continue Exiting due to an error! Please fix the error and try again. I do a find to see if that file exists, and I find the file in question located here /usr/local/etc/apache/srm.conf. so the file obviously exists. I know the permissions are correct. Here's the permissions on it, -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 357 Jul 2 18:52 /usr/local/etc/apache/srm.conf. I've even tried doing a chmod to 777 to see if it was a permissions issue, and it's not. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this? I'm stumped. -- The Raiden Knows Remember amateurs built the ark -- professionals built the Titanic. - Unknown Just when you think you have life figured out and all is going well, watch your step, for you are about to fall. - Ancient Proverb To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Mod_frontpage config error
Thank you. I didn't realize that some of the original apache features were depricated and moved to the httpd.conf file. So I made some changes and it worked like a charm. Thanks.

Internet Fax and FreeBSD
HI all. Got a question. I saw this the other day and I had almost forgot all about this since I haven't heard or talked about it in ages with anyone. But what I saw was someone using an internet fax service on their computer (namely my hardware supplier) to receive faxed in bids and price quotes and in turn to send in orders to the suppliers. I could set this up using Winfax on one of our 2k server, but I'd rather do it on a Freebsd server since I have more of them and I am not a big fan of Winfax anyways. :) What port or program would I use to setup such a thing on one of our systems and what, if any service would we need to signup to in order to use this? Would I be able to receive internet faxes from other people who are also setup to send them, or would I again need to go through an online fax service? I'm exploring this as a possibility right now, so I'm just asking to see what options are out there. Plus it gives me something to do when we get some freetime. :) I'm looking for a new toy to play with. hehe. -- The Raiden Knows Remember amateurs built the ark -- professionals built the Titanic. - Unknown Just when you think you have life figured out and all is going well, watch your step, for you are about to fall. - Ancient Proverb To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
