What is a good MOTHERBOARD ? ( FreeBSD 4.6-RC2 / Raid 1 )
URGENT!! I am on an emergency search to purchase a new motherboard / CPU that will run with [ Version: Freebsd 4.6-RC2 / RAID 1 configuration ]. What motherboard are you currently using that has ZERO problems while using Raid 1? Also, if you can link me to the site in which you purchased it from I am ready to buy one right now. Thank you in advance... Ethan P.S. -- I have just purchased a brand new A7V333 a few weeks back and the Raid 1 mirror will not last more than 24 hours so I must find an alternate board / cpu immediately!

FAM
Hi :) I'm having a problem with FAM (file alteration monitor).

Installing FreeBSD 5.1 on i386 (ASUS motherboard).
Hello, I have a machine with the following configuration : 1. AMD Athlon XP 1.8GHz. 2. 512 Mb DDR RAM. 3. Samsung CD/RW Drive 4. 2 HDDs - IBM(80G) + Samsung(40G). 5. ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard. 6.

I have downloaded version 5.1 of the FreeBSD release. During install, I get the following error : Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0, after which the system hangs, no Keyboard access, nothing. I have to do a power down and start up again. All devices are detected fine, HDDs, CD/RW, Display adapters, KBD, etc. Am I doing something wrong ? Or is the 5.1 release unsupported for my motherboard ? Do I need to(groan) download another release ? Is 4.9/4.8 a stable release ? Or is there something else I'm missing out on ?

I can't get 'homeunix.net' as a domain using WebHop. Shouldn't need it anyway, things were working perfectly without it until last week. Right. That eliminates a bunch of stuff that could go wrong. I think that dynDNS would seem to have managed to pull off their datacenter move without much noticable fallout. That's pretty impressive... If Charter are denying any interference with the port 80 traffic at all, then they are almost certainly correct. I think you've established that your FreeBSD box is working correctly. There's no possibility that I've hosed anything like /etc/hosts.allow or one of the files that restricts connections? Unless you're updating hosts.allow every 5 minutes I don't see how a mistake in that file could result in the on again, off again behaviour you've been seeing. The same goes for any of the flat files in /etc -- or at least, I can't think what you could possibly do to any of them that would result in the effects you're seeing. So, I guess, by a process of elimination you might have a problem with your cable router/modem? Is this a device that has a HTTP interface that you can configure it with? -- since it seems to be working perfectly well for all of the other ports, there must be some reason for it to do nasty things specifically to the port 80 stuff. Yes, the router has a web interface for configuration. It had been set to forward requests on port 80 to the webserver on port 80. That was working perfectly for over a year. I've now set it to port 8080, in and out, which is, of course, working. I have also enabled the DMZ, which, AFAIK, places the server outside the firewall, thereby eliminating it...? Hmmm... At the moment I'd lean towards the theory that you have a fault in your router. Does power cycling the router make any difference? Can you get hold of a spare router you could swap in to test if that makes a difference? As to what exactly the fault is, it would have to be pretty subtle to only affect traffic on port 80. The suggestion about making sure your firmware was up to date by Chris Pressey elsewhere in this thread was right on the mark. Even so, the thing could have developed a bad spot in it's memory or some such. Or you may have inadvertently turned on some peculiar feature that you really didn't want to. As I've never encountered a 'Motorola Surfboard 4-port Cable/DSL Router: SpeedStream SS2604' in real life, there's not much coherent I can suggest though. Now I've told apache to listen on port 80, no joy. Change back to 8080, perfect! It certainly is perplexing. It is, isn't it? Yes. I've had similar impossible problems in the past. One time it turned out to be a broken network cable, and the other time it was just my inability to fathom the somewhat obscure way a particular device implemented packet filtering. Once you know what the answer is, you'll wonder how it took you so long to realise something so obvious... Dyndns support just answered my last post to them, and basically just explained what DNS does as a way of denying that they are at fault, and I believe them. To quote them, DNS is just like the Yellow Pages. Your phone book doesn't know you are going through it, calling every number, and subsequently start deleting entries. Yup.

Re: how do you actually download an up date for KDE

I have read untell my eyes bleed and tryed things untell my fingers cramped: NOTHING EVER WORKS I am now to the point where I would pay to have someone walk me through a successfull download. Any thoughts? If you can afford the time for a compile, the simplest approach is to utilise cvsup to keep your ports tree up-to-date (you may already be doing this to update your kernel and base userland system). Details of this are in the handbook. From an up-to-date ports system, install portupgrade. It's a handy tool which will help you to automate the maintenance of your installed packages. You can tell portupgrade to try to fetch binary packages to upgrade, or (if none are available) it can grab the sources for the packages you need and build them for you. There tends to be a teething period as you switch to portupgrade (if you've been doing things by hand up until now) but it is definitely worth persevering with. There's plenty of advice on using it contained in the archives of this mailing list (also on freebsd-stable). Note that a from-source rebuild of KDE and its dependencies, while generally painless, will take quite a bit of time on your machine - but somewhat less than three years :-) -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ On modesty: whoever said it's hard being perfect obviously wasn't me. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wireless networking hardware recomendations?
I've got to set up a wireless network. I plan on using a FreeBSD machine as the access point. It will be the gateway between an existing network, and a new subnet dedicated to various 802.11/B (and later perhaps /G) enabled devices. I'm looking ofr recomendations for hardware on the FreeBSD end. It will be a non laptop machine, so PCI slot hardware will fill the bill nicely. -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How does one record audio?
If it use to work under Linux but no longer, are sure you hardware is ok. Have you ever been able to play any audio files? Also, you have to use mixer to adjust the input level and the recording source. See man mixer. Sounds like a hardware or configuration issue. Also there is a Windows version of the Audacity which I have used under Win2k it works nicely. Oh, I guess that begs the question does the same hardware setup work under windows?? If it does, then expect it to be a configuration issue with your sound setup [I have no idea if your sound chip is support under Freebsd and I haven't used 5.1, So someone else will have to answer that]. Have you searched the freebsd mail archive of questions, stable, and current. also does the device show up in your boot messages? Sorry but in a rush, David RexFelis wrote: I am using FreeBSD 5.1-p10, and recently I have need to record spoken sounds. I have installed Audacity from ports, as well as KRec, but neither of these works. Audacity shows nothing but silence for the waveforms. The KMix applet menu in my taskbar shows the microphone as having no volume, presumably because there's something not properly connecting somewhere software-wise. The microphone is plugged in. My motherboard is an Albatron KX400+ Pro, and I am using its on-board audio, which is a 6-channel capable Realtek ALC650 chip. This chip responds beautifully to the 'device pcm' line being added to the kernel config file. It does nothing for the recording capabilities. A perusal of the handbook revealed almost no mention at all about recording audio, and certainly no mention I could find about actually doing it. It did mention adding 'device csa' for crystal sound cards, and I thought the chip was a crystal chip, but doing this has not had any effect. A google search turns up nothing but a few other people asking the same question I have: How do you manage this? bsdforums.org has some stuff about this, but it's only talk that suggests that others have working audio recording in place; there is no mention of how to do this. I have even tried plugging the microphone into the other possible jack. I need to record a CD for someone, of me speaking. I really don't want to do this under Windows, and while Audacity under Linux worked for a short time, it now only produces static. Something is obviously broken there. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this working? Have I left any information out that might have been useful? I appreciate your help on this matter. Shannon __ Do you Yahoo!?

As DavidB said, the fact that it no longer works in linux implies that you might have a hardware problem--with the sound card, or even with the mic. (Is this the same mic you used in linux? Otherwise, it may just be something simple, like impedance or preamping.) However, there's one more easy possibility to check: Make sure the mic isn't muted. From aumix, or your favorite oss mixer app (I think this is what kmix is, if I remember correctly), and check/play with the level and mute settings for mic, record, line in, or anything else that looks like an input. In addition to the level and mute settings, you may also see a record source setting--with most setups, you can select exactly one recording source, so try selecting each of them in turn; with others, each one can be turned on and off separately. You may also have a master record level and mute setting to play with. While you're at it, see if you can record from the CD (through the soundcard, assuming you have an audio connection--generally a little 2-pin cable--between the two; digital CD audio extraction won't tell you anything useful). You may also want to look at the sysctl settings to see if anything looks fishy. Try sysctl -a |grep snd to look at what knobs you have and what they're set to. I've noticed that when I have hw.snd.pcm0.vchans set to anything 1, this sometimes interferes with audio input (but then I'm not sure my ancient fm801 is full-duplex). If fiddling with the mixer and sysctl produces no effect, you're probably best testing either in Windows, as DavidB said, or with a clean copy of linux (maybe even use a different distro). By the way, if you're not sure which sound card you have, use lspci (/usr/ports/sysutils/pciutils--or run the binary from your linux distro, or reboot to linux) and it should tell you something like this: 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Falcotronic, Inc Komissar 2000 [CHA] (rev b23) This implies (though it doesn't guarantee) that the driver you need is snd_cha--and it provides enough information that some helpful soul can tell you exactly which driver you need. However, most likely this won't help; if the sound output is working, the correct driver is probably already being loaded as a module (scan kldstat's output for snd_*.ko). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem I need help with though, is the fact that I cannot chmod 000 certain binaries after this process (for example: /usr/bin/rsh, /usr/bin/yppasswd, /usr/bin/ypchfn, etc.). The following occurs: # chmod 000 /usr/bin/rsh chmod: /usr/bin/rsh: Operation not permitted chflags is what you want man chflags specifically the schg flag. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

russian xkblayout
Hello, After recent reinstallation of X I cannot use Russian layout anymore. With the old release (4.1.0), I had two lines in the XF86Config file which did the job: Option XkbLayout ru Option XkbOptions grp:shift_toggle They installed the map with columns 1,2 filled with Latin keysyms, and columns 3,4 filled with Cyrillic keysyms (as reported by 'xmodmap -pk' or xkeycaps), and double shift switched the layout. With the new release of X (4.3.0), and with the above options in the XF86Config retained, I get the map with columns 1,2 filled with Cyrillic keysyms, and columns 3,4 empty :( OK, if XKB method does not work, I tried to switch back to older scheme, xruskb with XkbLayout en. This way, the columns are switched (as reported by xkeycaps), but only empty keysyms are generated in Russian mode (as reported by xev). Were there some changes on the way between these two version of X? I cannot find anything in the docs or lists... Any idea would be appreciated.

If you did this an rcs file would be created in the *same* directory as the C files. You probably want to create an RCS folder: /home/apierre/Prog/C/Joy_of_C/chp_1/RCS/ I don't know how you'd make ci/co use a *specific* directory each time - that's more the way cvs works than rcs I believe. Actually - reading the manpage for ci it appears you can do what you're suggesting, but it sounds fiddly. See the section 'FILE NAMING' in the 'ci' manpage for more details. The way I usually use it is to keep track of configuration file changes. So for example to keep track of httpd.conf file changes, I created a folder /usr/local/etc/apache/RCS. Then whenever I change the httpd.conf file /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf, I run 'ci httpd.conf' in /usr/local/etc/apache and the changes are commited to the rcs file in /usr/local/etc/apache/RCS/. I then issue 'co -l httpd.conf' to check the file back out again and lock it to use it. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: RCS question
No- IIRC, the default sis to look for an RCS subdirectory within the directory of the original file, failing that, the delta/file will be checked in to the local directory. This is generally 'the right behavior,' as RCS doesn't inherently store directory structures, so each file is in it's approipriate place in a multi-directory project. Some examples, starting with directory structure and contents: /home/projects/foo: Makefile (Top level Makefile for project) README license.gpl CHANGELOG /home/projects/foo/include: mydaemon.h db_connect.h myclient.h foo.h /home/projects/foo/server: Makefile db_connect.c mydaemon.c /home/projects/foo/client: Makefile myclient.c If an RCS directory already exists in each directory, the RCS files will go in (base directory)/RCS. If not, they will stay in the directory you checked them in from originally (Note- this is _their_ initial directory, not your working directory when you do the checkin!) So the top-level Makefile would become either /home/projects/foo/RCS/Makefile,v , or, if the RCS dir didn't already exist, /home/projects/foo/Makefile,v and the myclient.c file on checkin would become: /home/projects/foo/client/RCS/myclient.c,v , or again if the RCS dir didn't already exist, /home/projects/foo/client/myclient.c,v .. Hope that helps.. Scott PS- Remember to always at least do a co filename after initial checkin, as ci file without other params creates the RCS/delta file, but will not leave the original filename in place...
