Greetings,

I have a D-Link DWL-G520 PCI card that I am trying to install, with 
less success than I would like.

I am using FreeBSD 5.2-RC2.  I have been able to bring the card up 
manually with ifconfig for an Atheros chipset (ifconfig ath0 inet 
192.168.39.100 netmask 255.255.255.0) and doing so, I can see the 
.html setup screens for my router (D-Link Di-624 (192.168.39.1))--so 
there is a connection.  However, there I am stopped.  I cannot get 
past the wireless router to my other machines (hooked into a Linksys 
Cable/DSL router (192.168.38.1)) or the Internet in general.  No 
http, no pings, nada.

I'm led to believe that the fault is with my setup of the wireless 
card.  If I hook the machine into one of the wireless router's rj45 
jacks, the connection is just fine.  The wireless card also 
functioned without problems in a short-lived win98 install.  So the 
card works, and the router setup seems to be good.  That leaves the 
card setup within FreeBSD.

I am at a loss as to what to try next.  I've tried DHCP, I've tried 
setting up a network interface via sysinstall after bringing up the 
ath0 whoozit with ifconfig (apparently the card is not detected at 
startup?)...

What am I missing?

Any suggestions?  Relevant documentation you can direct me to? 
Direct solutions?  :)

help me with this sed expression

2004-01-05 Thread Zhang Weiwu

Hello. I've worked an hour to figure out a serial of sed command to process 
some text (without any luck, you kown I'm kinda newbie). I really 
appreciate your help.

The original text file is in this form -- for each line:
one Chinese word then one or two English word seperated by space.
I wish to change to:
1) target file: one English word, then a space, then a Chinese word 
coorisponding to that English word.
2) if in the original file one Chinese word has more than one English word 
following in the same line, repeat the Chinese word to satisfy 1).

Define: Chinese word = one or more continous bytes of data where each byte 
is greater then 128 in value. (it is true in GB2312 Chinese charset which 
this email is written in.)
Define: English word = one or more continous bytes of [a-z].

Say, for the original file:
===
a av
aaav
aacm
===
The target file should be:
===
a 
av 
aaav 
aacm 
===
I tried to do things like s/\(.*\)\([a-z]*\)/\2 \1/ but the first \(.*\) is 
too greedy and included the rest [a-z].

Thank you.

Re: backup drive bootabel

2004-01-05 Thread Noah

 
 Looks OK to me -- you have got backups of anything important on that
 disk haven't you?  This sort of operation has a high risk of trashing
 the drive contents if you don't get things quite right.


Thank you so much Matthew,

I just did an ls of the drive on da1.  can I assume that the contents of this
drive did not get trashed?

thanks so much for all your assistance.  excellent responses.

Happy New Year,

- Noah



 
 Yes, you'll need to set the slice (da1s1) bootable if you want this 
 as an alternate boot device.  That shouldn't affect the default auto 
 boot process performed by the boot loader, unless you interrupt the boot
 process and change the device selection there manually.
 
   Cheers,

hi!


Well, seems like problems with the software, that thinks it is still a
RS232 serial...

otherwise, have a look at:
/usr/ports/graphics/gphoto2

BTW, since 4.3-R is a bit old, there might also be a slight possibility,
that in case gphoto has problems, whether your camera is not supported
by gphoto, or you should upgrade to 4.9, since there were some works in
the usb stack between 4.3 und now...

FreeBSD AGP or Nvidia AGP?

Running 5.2RC2 on a Epox 8K5A2+ motherboard I've experienced multiple 
hard reset problems while running simple process like compilation under 
KDE. The result was either a blank screen and reboot or frozen window. I 
don't know exactly where to look at in order to determine the problem. 
Dmesg doesn't show anything bad.

If I understand correctly they are two ways of installing Nvidia graphic 
cards and using them with Nvidia drivers : using Nvidia AGP support or 
FreeBSD AGP support.  I took the default one as described at the bottom 
of this email.

What is the preferred method ?   The one that would give the most 
stability (I don't really care about performance and fps).

After those reboots and according to some posts, I changed my kernel 
config  and commented the following two lines :

#options SMP   # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
#device  apic # I/O APIC
It didn't really help and I got the same hang up situations.

So I've added hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints and it 
looks like more stable but didn't have time to confirm it.

Can this problem come from the AGP support selection I've made or is it 
more related to ACPI ?

Now that I've disabled ACPI, should I enable APM in order to be able to 
turn off the PC without compromising stability ?

Thanks
Dany


1) Use the Nvidia AGP support
- cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
- make install 

Add Option NvAgp 1  in XFree86config :
and
nvidia_load=YES  in /boot/loader.conf
2) Use the FreeBSD AGP support
- cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
- make WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=yes install 

Add Option NvAgp 2  in XFree86config :
and
AGP_LOAD=YES in /boot/loader.conf
nvidia_load=YES  in /boot/loader.conf

All the possible Kernel options

This week-end I was trying to get my Atapi CDRW to burn something and 
noticed I needed the CAM support enabled for it. Reading the handbook 
gave me the necessary option for the kernel : *device atapicam

*It worked but I remember posting a question about where to find all the 
different options for the Kernel.
The response was easy and located into the /sys/i386/conf/NOTES file 
(under 5.x).

The thing is I couldn't find any trace of the Device atapicam in either 
GENERIC or NOTES. Is this normal or is there any other hidden options I 
should be aware of ?

Thank you
Dany

Just one thought: if you don't want 3D support, just go with the 2D
'nv' driver -- that should be stable.

pkg_add and openoffice package problems (5.2-RC2)

2004-01-05 Thread Luca Gerli

Hello all,

 I'm totally new to FreeBSD, and I come from a Linux-Gentoo experience.
I installed 5.2RC2 yesterday without much hassle, but I'm having problems
installing OpenOffice.org v1.1 package, due to some dependency errors
coming from pkg_add that I couldn't solve either looking at the docs
or skimming through past posts.
 So, I downloaded the FreeBSD package from:

  http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

 First thing I tried was to run pkg_add on the downloaded package,
which failed due to some dependency errors:
 falcon# pkg_add ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 pkg_add: could not find package glib-1.2.10_10 !
 pkg_add: could not find package gtk-1.2.10_10 !
 pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17 !
 Then I tried the -r option, hoping the command would automatically
download the missing and necessary packages, without much luck as
pkg_add refused to use the local ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz, and was
looking for it on ftp.freebsd...:
 falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
  i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz: File
  unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
 pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
  i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz' by URL
 I then set the PACKAGESITE to the appropriate link to download openoffice,
but then this same site was used to download the missing packages which
were obviously not found.
 falcon# setenv PACKAGESITE http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/
 falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 I'm surely doing something wrong, but my questions are:

 . is there a way to specify more than one FTP/HTTP source for
   packages ? PACKAGESITE does not seem to accept a syntax where
   different URLs are separated by a semicolon (:);
 . do I have to manually download the necessary packages that
   openoffice depends on ? Or is pkg_add really able to do that alone ?
 Thanks for any help / documentation pointers you might give,

 Best regards,
  Luca.

some HTT questions

2004-01-05 Thread Harald Schmalzbauer

Hi all,

I'm currently working on my first P4 ever.
I'm planning a colo production machine with FreeBSD 5.2 (RC2 atm).
The info of dmesg about the CPU shows:

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2394.13-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = GenuineIntel  Id = 0xf27  Stepping = 7
  
Features=0xbfebfbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE

So I think this CPU should be HyperThreading capable which gets hardened by 
those lines:

acpi_cpu0: CPU on acpi0
acpi_cpu1: CPU on acpi0

But the next line gives my an error about CPU1:

device_probe_and_attach: acpi_cpu1 attach returned 6

This line shows up a second time between probing of sio and nxp0.

Ny my guess was that HTT should be enabled in the BIOS but the BIOS has no 
entry about HTT.

How can I use HTT and are my assumptions correct?

Thanks,

-Harry

viewing sgml articles

2004-01-05 Thread Dru


What's the easiest way for an end-user to view the SGML articles in
/usr/doc? Is there a viewer, or do they have to be converted to say, html
first? I know they're mirrored online, but it would be nice to have the
ability to read off-line.

I tried installing textproc/sgmlformat and running:

sgmlfmt -d docbook -f html article.sgml

but it failed with tons of errors. The same command without -d also
failed.

Any advice?

 I'm trying to access the ports collection from my FreeBSD 4.9 server

 192.168.1.2.1074   208.209.50.18.21   SYN_SENT
 
 which means I know am i getting name resolution and to the server, but ...

Does it always stick at SYN_SENT? You aren't even getting as far as
the three-way handshake if not.  You really should be able to
establish the FTP command channel to port 21 the FTP server, as that's
just an ordinary outgoing tcp connection. At the moment it appears
that the first ACK from the server isn't making it back to your client
box, or maybe that your outgoing SYN packet isn't even making it to
the server. The active/passive stuff can't be the problem as that only
kicks in later on, when you try and open the FTP data channel.

Can you run tcpdump(1) on the external interface of your firewall to
see if the traffic actually gets out of your system, and if any sort
of packet comes back?

Can you connect onto other FTP servers elsewhere around the world?  
 
 Is this a problem with passive ftp? does anybody have any suggestions on
 how to get around this behind a masq'ing firewall that uses NAT? I tried
 opening all access to the server thru the firewall but it still fails.

I think the problem is occurring at the TCP level, well before anything
that would make a difference depending on whether you're running
active or passive FTP.

However, in case it is actually a problem at the FTP protocol level:
take a look at the -punch_fw option to natd(8) -- that's what you need
in order to get a FTP session going across a NAT'ing firewall.  That's
assuming that your firewall is running FreeBSD/ipwf/natd.  I wrote a
piece describing what goes on during an FTP session that you might
find useful for setting up firewall rules.  See

Re: pkg_add and openoffice package problems (5.2-RC2)

I got OpenOffice working on my 5.2 with the help of a gentleman for the 
bsdforums who sent me a newer version compiled for 5.2RC2.

I didn't want to compile it by myself (time consuming) so it was kind of 
him to make this available. Worked right out of the box.

If you want I can post the file on my webserver so you can download it. 
Just say the word.

Thanks to you both.

I think the mist is clearing, let's see if I have this straight. The
contents of /usr/share/doc come with the system, and any cvsup'd changes
go instead into /usr/doc. If I want to merge the two, I use Ceri's
suggestion. Otherwise, I can download direct as per Lowell's suggestion.

Re: pkg_add and openoffice package problems (5.2-RC2)

2004-01-05 Thread Luca Gerli

Hi Dany,

 I think I can workaround my problem by manually installing the required
packages and the openoffice: my main issue is to understand if I
really hit a limit of pkg_add or not, as I assumed, by reading docs
 posts, that it should be able to resolve dependencies and automatically
download the required packages.
 I suppose it works (not tested) if the package one wants to install
is located remotely, and on the same site where all other required
packages can be found. This is just my conclusion based on what I've
seen, but I'm looking for some expert to confirm or contradict it.
 Thanks anyway for your offer :)

 Ciao, Luca

I got OpenOffice working on my 5.2 with the help of a gentleman for the

I didn't want to compile it by myself (time consuming) so it was kind of 
him to make this available. Worked right out of the box.

If you want I can post the file on my webserver so you can download it. 
Just say the word.

Hello all,

 I'm totally new to FreeBSD, and I come from a Linux-Gentoo experience.
I installed 5.2RC2 yesterday without much hassle, but I'm having problems
installing OpenOffice.org v1.1 package, due to some dependency errors
coming from pkg_add that I couldn't solve either looking at the docs
or skimming through past posts.
 So, I downloaded the FreeBSD package from:

  http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

 First thing I tried was to run pkg_add on the downloaded package,
which failed due to some dependency errors:
 falcon# pkg_add ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 pkg_add: could not find package glib-1.2.10_10 !
 pkg_add: could not find package gtk-1.2.10_10 !
 pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17 !
 Then I tried the -r option, hoping the command would automatically
download the missing and necessary packages, without much luck as
pkg_add refused to use the local ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz, and was
looking for it on ftp.freebsd...:
 falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
 Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
  i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz: File

 pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
  i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz' by URL
 I then set the PACKAGESITE to the appropriate link to download 
openoffice,
but then this same site was used to download the missing packages which
were obviously not found.

 falcon# setenv PACKAGESITE http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/
 falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

 The original text file is in this form -- for each line:
 one Chinese word then one or two English word seperated by space.
 
 I wish to change to:
 1) target file: one English word, then a space, then a Chinese word 
 coorisponding to that English word.
 2) if in the original file one Chinese word has more than one English word

 Define: Chinese word = one or more continous bytes of data where each byte

 this email is written in.)
 Define: English word = one or more continous bytes of [a-z].
 
 Say, for the original file:

 The target file should be:
 ===
 a ??
 av ??
 aaav 
 aacm

 I tried to do things like s/\(.*\)\([a-z]*\)/\2 \1/ but the first \(.*\) is 
 too greedy and included the rest [a-z].

Dunno about sed(1) but you could do the job like this:

perl -ne '($c, $e) = m/^([\x{81}-\x{ff}]+)([a-z ]+)\z/; foreach $x (split / /, $e) 
{  print $c $x\n; }'  filename

I should think so.  The sort of disk trashing you would experience

unmountable -- and as you can mount it and see the contents, I'd say
you're pretty much home and dry.

converting manpages to postscript

2004-01-05 Thread Dru


I'm trying to convert a manpage to postscript and have tried these 3
variants:

groff -Tps -mandoc /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz  ls.ps
groff -Tps -mdoc /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz  ls.ps
groff -Tps -man /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz  ls.ps

The file command always shows this:

file ls.ps
ls.ps: Postscript document text conforming at level 3.0

But the resulting printout is hieroglyphics.

What am I doing wrong?

Once apon a time I worked for a company that had used somthing called RCS to protect 
files from being writen to by more then one user at the same time. 



Im now in a situation where that would become helpful. I have read the man pages on 
RCS and looked for documantation on the web including the FreeBSD diary site and 
wanted to post to you all to see if anyone had any links to some good documentation on 
this. Even how-to's would be great.

 What Modules do you load in your XFree86 config file ?

 Following are the modules I load with the Nvidia driver, I'm not sure
 which one I should use for nv.

 Section Module
  Loaddbe
  Load  glx
  Load  extmod
  Load  type1
  Load  freetype
 # Load bitmap
 # Load xtt
 # Load  dri
 # Load  record
 # Load  xtrap

 Thanks

I didn't do anything special -- I took the coward's way out and let 'XFree86 
-configure' do the work.;-)

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

Here's the resulting module section:

wicontrol output

2004-01-05 Thread Proctor, Matthew

I was wondering what the following lines of output from wicontrol mean and
if there is anyway to change them. 
 
Channel list
Process 802.11b Frame
Regulatory Domains
 
My reason for asking is that if I move my wavelan card from a 4.3-release
laptop to a 5-0-release desktop, the wireless stops working and the Channel
list value is different. Are there extra (hidden) options set by the new
wicontrol that I should look out for, that could result in me not being able
to find the network?
 
any help MUCH appreciated

Viability of 5.X line for production use

2004-01-05 Thread John Fox

Hello,

We're planning some new mail servers, and until now I've been assuming
that they would run under FreeBSD 4.X.  But it occurred to me this 
morning that the 4.X line is going to go away relatively soon, and that
perhaps I'd be better off going with 5.X for these new boxen, as it
would probably simplify the upgrade (keeping up with releases and bug
fixes) process.

So I'm wondering -- do the experts here judge 5.X as ready for use
in a production environment, or would that be asking for trouble?

Any thoughts appreciated,


John

Installing PCI modem in machine with 4 serial ports (HELP!)

2004-01-05 Thread Philip Hallstrom

Hi -
I've got a little computer that has four serial ports built-in to
the motherboard.  I want to add a PCI modem (USR 5610B) and am having a
devil of a time.  I know this modem works since I've used it (well,
another one just like it) in another machine no problem.

Here's the computer's board:
http://www.orbitmicro.com/products/embedded%20boards/via/EBC-569.htm

The last time I did this it just worked.  However, this bit from the
Handbook has me concerned:

---
These are the four serial ports referred to as COM1 through COM4 in the
MS-DOS/Windows world.

Note: If you have an internal modem on COM4 and a serial port at COM2,
you will have to change the IRQ of the modem to 2 (for obscure technical
reasons, IRQ2 = IRQ 9) in order to access it from FreeBSD. If you have a
multiport serial card, check the manual page for sio(4) for more
information on the proper values for these lines. Some video cards
(notably those based on S3 chips) use IO addresses in the form of 0x*2e8,
and since many cheap serial cards do not fully decode the 16-bit IO
address space, they clash with these cards making the COM4 port
practically unavailable.

Each serial port is required to have a unique IRQ (unless you are
using one of the multiport cards where shared interrupts are supported),
so the default IRQs for COM3 and COM4 cannot be used.
---

I rarely use modems, and am even less proficient at messing around with
IRQ stuff.  What I'm concerned about is that it seems to say you can only
have 4 serial ports (COM1 - COM4) total... which means I'm kind of
screwed.

I've tried disabling all of the serial ports via the BIOS, but it doesn't
help...

If anyone out there has any light to shed on how to get this working I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks!

No clue. You'll have to test it. Make sure that you have reverted all of
the nvidia-driver port's files before you jump to conclusions though --
the kernel module is not all that is installed (though I believe pkg_delete
should do the right thing). If you're in doubt, forcefully reinstall XFree86.

Re: Apparent packet duplication logged by IPF

2004-01-05 Thread Patrick O'Reilly

Thanks.

I am a little apprehensive about publishing my entire firewall ruleset on a
public list, as you can surely understand.  Especially since I am still
learning, and will probably show everyone some glaring holes which have not
yet closed...

Anyway, the entire ruleset does not have a single log directive:
---
root fox:~# ipfstat -nioh | grep log
root fox:~#
---
I have enabled global logging of accepted packets by 'ipf -l pass'.  Also,
as you can see in the extract I sent all the packets being logged are from
my rule #21, so I think that rules out duplication due to multiple rule
matches.  Rule 21 is for HTTPS traffic, and it does Keep State, as can be
seen in the log entries too.

As for nat, the only rule I have which affects 192.168.0.180 is this:
---
map ed1   from 192.168.0.0/16 to any - 168.209.221.66/32
---
The result of this NAT rule can be seen in snip (2) included with my
original mail.

If this is not enough info I'll email you direct with more...

Thanks for your response.

Patrick.

 Kind of like asking someone to work in the dark.  You need to post

 Subject: IPF: Apparent packet duplication logged by IPF

 Hi all.

 I am having a strange situation with IPF.  I am trying to log all
 passed
 packets (the log is passed to a third-party stats program for
 graphical
 analysis).

 The problem is that I see many packets apparently being duplicated
 in the
 ipmon.log.  The packet enters the firewall from the internal
 interface OK,
 but it appears to be transmitted out to the internet twice.
 Conversely,
 there are often multiple inbound packets from the internet which
 become just
 one on the internal interface.

 See these two examples (beware of line-wrap):
 1) Internet to LAN
 09:30:00.508378 2x ed1 @0:21 P 196.35.72.139,443 -
 192.168.0.180,1277 PR
 tcp len 20 296 -AP K-S IN
 09:30:00.509446 hdlc5 @0:21 P 196.35.72.139,443 -
 192.168.0.180,1277 PR tcp
 len 20 296 -AP K-S OUT

 2) LAN to internet (168.209.221.66 is my NAT address)
 09:30:00.616102 hdlc5 @0:21 P 192.168.0.180,1277 -
 196.35.72.139,443 PR tcp
 len 20 40 -A K-S IN
 09:30:00.616188 ed1 @0:21 P 168.209.221.66,1277 - 196.35.72.139,443
 PR tcp
 len 20 40 -A K-S OUT
 09:30:00.616275 ed1 @0:21 P 168.209.221.66,1277 - 196.35.72.139,443
 PR tcp
 len 20 40 -A K-S OUT

 I don't believe the packets are ACTUALLY being resent twice, because
 the
 stats I have under MRTG indicate matching traffic volumes on the
 corresponding interfaces.  I suspect the issue has something to do
 with how
 IPF and IPMON log the packets.  But I'm not sure.

 Any help in understanding/fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

 Regards,
 Patrick O'Reilly.

Re: Viability of 5.X line for production use

2004-01-05 Thread Dan Nelson

In the last episode (Jan 05), John Fox said:
 We're planning some new mail servers, and until now I've been
 assuming that they would run under FreeBSD 4.X.  But it occurred to
 me this morning that the 4.X line is going to go away relatively
 soon, and that perhaps I'd be better off going with 5.X for these new
 boxen, as it would probably simplify the upgrade (keeping up with
 releases and bug fixes) process.
 
 So I'm wondering -- do the experts here judge 5.X as ready for use in
 a production environment, or would that be asking for trouble?

I think as long as you're not using the features that are causing other
people problems (SATA, some acpi stuff, etc), 5.x is just fine.

Nowadays most people use CVS, which can be thought of as a wrapper to RCS
(and actually was implemented this way at first IIRC). It does not have
exclusive locking like RCS does, but for most scenarios this is not a
problem. If the way it handles conflicts is acceptable to you, this would
be a good resource to learn about it:

Two NICs, two ISPs, how to configure interfaces and mail?

2004-01-05 Thread Brian M. Kincaid

I have two NICs, connecting to two completely separate ISPs, with two 
different IP addresses and DNS names. I would like to find out what to 
put into rc.conf to configure the two interfaces, and how to arrange for 
 localhost to use one of the interfaces and mail (postfix) to use the 
other.

Dear All;

Has any body running FreeBsd 4.XX on Abit KD7-A KT400A motherboard??

The above motherboard has the following specification:

Abit KD7-A KT400A USB2+ LAN + 6CH.
It also uses the VIA KT400A / VT8235CE chipset.
I know FreeBSD supports 8235 chipset, but I have not seen any thing 
about the 8235CE chipset.

According to via web site, the 8235CE is an enhanced version of 8235 
chipset, and looks as there is hardly any difference between the above 
chipset.

So any of you gus has any expricence with the above motherboard I would 
like to hear from you.

Re: RCS

2004-01-05 Thread HOLLOW, CHRISTOPHER

Hi Shawn,

Depending on your needs, I would suggest checking out CVS
(cvshome.org). The CVS system is built on top of RCS and designed to
manage entire software projects. The CVS client comes base system in
BSD and most *NIX systems. Take a look at cvsd
(http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/) in the ports collection
for a CVS pserver. CVSWeb (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html)
, a project maintained by none other than FreeBSD, is a nifty add-on
that lets you browse CVS repositories through a browser. My setup
includes a lot of Windows users so I also use TortoiseCVS
(www.tortoisecvs.org) to allow Win-users CVS functionality.

The documentation on all of these is quite good. It took me from the
ground up. Take a look and post back if you have any specific technical
questions/issues/problems.

HTH,

Christopher Hollow

   Stacey, what are permissions of /dev/acd0c?  The handbook example
   changes the permissions of a SCSI cdrom.  I made the mistake of not
   noticing this when I first tried to do make my cdrom user mountable.

  $ ls -la /dev/acd*
  crw-r-  4 root  operator  117,   0 Nov  9 14:21 /dev/acd0a
  crw-r-  4 root  operator  117,   0 Nov  9 14:21 /dev/acd0c
  $

  That's what the permissions are like after running through the procedure in the 
  HandBook. On that note, fr the record, on all machines, there are IDE CDROM drives 
  and one IDE CD-RW drive that I've got here.

  Thanks again.

  Regards,

  Stacey

   Tom

 Stacey, do `chmod 666 /dev/acd0c`.  That will give the first IDE cdrom
 drive the correct permissions.  You should be able to pop in a disk and
 mount it in your directory then.

Yes., I tried this in the end (well., 644 instead of 666) and I am now able to mount 
the cd-rw drive as an ordinary user, as well as the cdrom drives on the others.., 

However, this *does* seem to make the whole deal about adding users to the operator 
group kind of redundant, it appears.., I could have left users where they were and 
done the above and it would have worked all the same..,

Also, if the HandBook has only procedures that would work for only SCSI drives, who do 
I contact in order for some procedure relevant to those users in the community that 
would want to / need to do the same for hosts with IDE drives?

Thanks again for taking the time, and the patience..,

Regards,

Stacey

Dear All;

Has any body running FreeBsd 4.XX on Abit KD7-A KT400A motherboard??

The above motherboard has the following specification:

Abit KD7-A KT400A USB2+ LAN + 6CH.
It also uses the VIA KT400A / VT8235CE chipset.
I know FreeBSD supports 8235 chipset, but I have not seen any thing 
about the 8235CE chipset.

According to via web site, the 8235CE is an enhanced version of 8235 
chipset, and looks as there is hardly any difference between the above 
chipset.

So any of you gus has any expricence with the above motherboard I would

release 4.9 sysinstall hangs

Good morning dear FreeBSD enthusiasts.   I am trying to install version 4.9
FreeBSD on a Compaq Proliant 5000 with four Pentium Pro processors, and a
RAID 5 SCSI drive.  The RAID is implemented in hardware.  The installation
procedure proceeds through the steps of device sensing, then prints the
following line stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0, then stops.  The
program responds to no keys other than print screen, scroll lock, and
pause/break. Depressing these keys in certain sequences will move the
large block cursor from the bottom of the screen leftmost column to the
middle of the screen leftmost column.  There is no response to
control-alt-delete.  Which device is vty0?  What am I doing wrong?  Is
there a bug in the install program?  Where is there posted a listing of the
device mnemonics translated into plain English for people who are still

Because the modem is inside the computer on the PCI bus, and not

JPL (Maestro) software for Mars lander viewing

2004-01-05 Thread T Kellers

jpl.tgz is an executable binary gzipped tarfile of the Maestro software
developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to view and track the images and
adventures of the Mars landers, Spirit and Opportunity.

To run this program under FreeBSD (tested with 5.2-Current as of January 5,
2004  --4.9 might also work.), gunzip and untar the file into a directory 
where you
have rwx permissions. and run the file JPL/SAP/bin/SAP.

To run this file you must have Linux emulation (tested with
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base), linux-sun-java (tested with jdk-1.4.1p4_1), 
and java3d (/usr/ports/java/java3d)
all installed.

Documentation for using the Maestro software is available at:

http://mars.telascience.org/downloads.html

and

http://eris.njit.edu/~jpl/UserGuide.pdf

The gpl.tar.gz file (and this README) is available at:

http://eris.njit.edu/~maestro

If anyone can test the software with lower versions of java or FreeBSD: or 
with higher versions Linux emulation, I'd be very interested to hear about 
the results.

Seems to be quite a common problem with several Compaq models.  The
trick seems to be seting the BIOS either to Linux OS or Other.

http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-questions_2003/msg25381.html

'vty' stands for 'virtual tty', and 'tty' stands for 'teletype'.  Now,
computers haven't used teletypes for user IO for twenty years or more,
but the name has stuck. Now all it means is some sort of
screen+keyboard terminal interface.

The virtual part of 'vty' just refers to a series of virtual tty
interfaces you can switch between on the same physical hardware.
Usually you'ld type Alt-F1 (or sometimes you need Ctrl-Alt-F1) to
switch to the first vty, Alt-F2 for the second, and so on, usually up
to Alt-F8.  If you run X it generally behaves as if it's on the 9th
vty.

RE: Installing PCI modem in machine with 4 serial ports (HELP!)

2004-01-05 Thread fbsd_user

To start with you are very light with details about your
environment, like what version of FBSD you are running and when you
say the modem works, you failed to say if it worked in an FBSD
system or MS/Windows system.

For your info many of the PCI modems on the market are manufactured
specially for MS/windows and are missing the onboard controller. The
controller function is performed by the modem driver you have to
load into MS/windows. If you have one of those winmodems but it back
in your windows box where it belongs.

Lets assume your modem has the onboard controller.
Have you reviewed the boot log  /var/run/dmesg.boot file?
It may be found as (unknown) in that case it may be an winmodem for
sure, or you have installed FBSD on an pre Y2K PC and it's bio's are
giving FBSD problems.
Adding  device puc  to your kernel source and recompiling your
kernel will fix this problem.

The other condition is the your modem is found at boot time and is
moved to sio4 which is really com5 which in not defined in the 4.x
versions of FBSD.

  sio0: Zoom PCI Modem port
0xe400-0xe407,0xe000-0xe0ff,0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xe200-
  sio0: moving to sio4
  sio4: type 16550A

   Sio4 is internal device cuaa4.
   For some unknown reason this device is not in the device table
for 4.x versions
   You have to create it manually by doing the following commands.

  cd /dev
  ls -l /dev/cuaa4shows as not found
  sh MAKEDEV cuaa4run script to make the device.
MAKEDEV must be in caps.
  ls -l /dev/cuaa4now shows it's there

Device cuaa4 is the device you tell user ppp to use to connect with
your PIC modem.

If you are running 5.x version of FBSD then you do not have to
makedev it auto in 5.x.

Subject: Installing PCI modem in machine with 4 serial ports (HELP!)

Hi -
I've got a little computer that has four serial ports
built-in to
the motherboard.  I want to add a PCI modem (USR 5610B) and am
having a
devil of a time.  I know this modem works since I've used it (well,
another one just like it) in another machine no problem.

Here's the computer's board:
http://www.orbitmicro.com/products/embedded%20boards/via/EBC-569.htm

The last time I did this it just worked.  However, this bit from the
Handbook has me concerned:


---
These are the four serial ports referred to as COM1 through COM4 in
the
MS-DOS/Windows world.

Note: If you have an internal modem on COM4 and a serial port at
COM2,
you will have to change the IRQ of the modem to 2 (for obscure
technical
reasons, IRQ2 = IRQ 9) in order to access it from FreeBSD. If you
have a
multiport serial card, check the manual page for sio(4) for more
information on the proper values for these lines. Some video cards
(notably those based on S3 chips) use IO addresses in the form of
0x*2e8,
and since many cheap serial cards do not fully decode the 16-bit IO
address space, they clash with these cards making the COM4 port
practically unavailable.

Each serial port is required to have a unique IRQ (unless you
are
using one of the multiport cards where shared interrupts are
supported),
so the default IRQs for COM3 and COM4 cannot be used.

---

I rarely use modems, and am even less proficient at messing around
with
IRQ stuff.  What I'm concerned about is that it seems to say you can
only
have 4 serial ports (COM1 - COM4) total... which means I'm kind of
screwed.

I've tried disabling all of the serial ports via the BIOS, but it
doesn't
help...

If anyone out there has any light to shed on how to get this working
I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks!

Oops... you're right.  FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE.  Never tried it with windows.
However, I've put this exact card into a different server (with only two
serial ports) and it is found as sio4 and works perfectly.

In the broken machine the boot message says what you have below, that it's
moving it to sio4, and I did make the devices (did the same things I did
for the machine that works) but still nothing.

For now I'll just use the other machine, but it's irksome...

 Adding  device puc  to your kernel source and recompiling your
 kernel will fix this problem.

 The other condition is the your modem is found at boot time and is
 moved to sio4 which is really com5 which in not defined in the 4.x
 versions of FBSD.

   sio0: Zoom PCI Modem port
 0xe400-0xe407,0xe000-0xe0ff,0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xe200-
   sio0: moving to sio4
   sio4: type 16550A

Sio4 is internal device cuaa4.
For some unknown reason this device is not in the device table
 for 4.x versions
You have to create it manually by doing the following commands.

   cd /dev
   ls -l /dev/cuaa4shows as not found
   sh MAKEDEV cuaa4run script to make the device.
 MAKEDEV must be in caps.
   ls -l /dev/cuaa4now shows it's there

   Device cuaa4 is the device you tell user ppp to use to connect with
 your PIC modem.

 If you are running 5.x version of FBSD then you do not have to
 makedev it auto in 5.x.

 Subject: Installing PCI modem in machine with 4 serial ports (HELP!)

 Hi -
 I've got a little computer that has four serial ports
 built-in to
 the motherboard.  I want to add a PCI modem (USR 5610B) and am
 having a
 devil of a time.  I know this modem works since I've used it (well,
 another one just like it) in another machine no problem.

 Here's the computer's board:
 http://www.orbitmicro.com/products/embedded%20boards/via/EBC-569.htm

 The last time I did this it just worked.  However, this bit from the
 Handbook has me concerned:

 
 ---
 These are the four serial ports referred to as COM1 through COM4 in
 the
 MS-DOS/Windows world.

 Note: If you have an internal modem on COM4 and a serial port at
 COM2,
 you will have to change the IRQ of the modem to 2 (for obscure
 technical
 reasons, IRQ2 = IRQ 9) in order to access it from FreeBSD. If you
 have a
 multiport serial card, check the manual page for sio(4) for more
 information on the proper values for these lines. Some video cards
 (notably those based on S3 chips) use IO addresses in the form of
 0x*2e8,
 and since many cheap serial cards do not fully decode the 16-bit IO
 address space, they clash with these cards making the COM4 port
 practically unavailable.

 Each serial port is required to have a unique IRQ (unless you
 are
 using one of the multiport cards where shared interrupts are
 supported),
 so the default IRQs for COM3 and COM4 cannot be used.
 
 ---

 I rarely use modems, and am even less proficient at messing around
 with
 IRQ stuff.  What I'm concerned about is that it seems to say you can
 only
 have 4 serial ports (COM1 - COM4) total... which means I'm kind of
 screwed.

 I've tried disabling all of the serial ports via the BIOS, but it
 doesn't
 help...

 If anyone out there has any light to shed on how to get this working
 I'd
 appreciate it.

 Thanks!

inspiron 8000 pcmcia problem

2004-01-05 Thread paul

I've already posted this question to -mobile just trying to get as much traffic as 
possible ok I got a rather frustrating problem if anyone can help me it would be 
greatly appreciated I've tryed 3 pcmcia cards on my i8k all 3 of them give me device 
timeouts (netgear fa410tx, smc 8040, and a linksys card) all of which are on the 
hardware compat list except the smc card which i read somewhere is supported so i gave 
it a try. Anyway I added pccard_enable=YES pccardd_ifconfig=DHCP tryed 
ifconfig_ed1=DHCP for fun and i tryed changing the irq port with the -i flag for 
pccardd_flags and editing pccard.conf. Nothing seems to work I have miibus compiled in 
the kernel all the proper drivers all 3 of the cards are recognized at boot however i 
recieve the infamous ed1: device timeout message. The cards work on linux and windows 
maybe I'm missing something I have never dealt with pcmcia cards until now. I googled 
for 2 days and asked on numerous irc channels. Am I missing something? It seems to be 
a rather common problem with all the results from my google searchs. I've also 
disabled everything in my bios still nothing I've tryed using 4.9, 5.2rc2 and -current 
with  the same results. Someone please help me! I keep hearing its an irq conflict my 
card gets set to irq 10 its seems even when i try to change it..btw all tryed 
device.hints and kernel.conf. 
Thanks -Paul

Yes, you need Perl.  You can install it from /usr/ports/lang/perl5.

Autoconf, and that silly 'maximum length of command line arguments'

2004-01-05 Thread Nigel Weeks

Is there really any need for this check in autoconf?

Launching sed over and over, hogging cpu, just to find a number that's so
high, it'll never get reached...
...unless you use webcvs on a directory with 16000+ files...

Is there any other way? If it's absolutely necessary, can it be sped up?

Xsane, HP ScanJet 2200C, and a grinding noise...

2004-01-05 Thread Joe Altman

Has anyone seen any issues with XSane and a scanner using the Plustek
bits? The scanner I use has an LM9832 National SemiConductor/Plustek
chip; the scanner is USB, and prior to an upgrade to Sane it never
made a grinding noise. It never core dumped, either.

A recent update to the ports tree and world on this machine:

FreeBSD anna.chthonixia.net 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #1: Thu Jan
1 12:56:25 EST 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ANNA
i386

seems to mark the start of the issue. That is, prior to updating the
backends port, there was no problem with this scanner, and especially
no grinding noise nor core dump.

The backends for Sane are at version 2003-11-23: SANE-Backends-1.0.13.

The prior version, 1.0.11, is dated 04/26/03.

I note at Xsane.org:

2003 Aug 27: xsane-0.92 source released

Where the FreeBSD port is at:

PORTVERSION=0.91

Dated on or about August 21, 2003. I've looked at various distfiles at
ftp.freebsd.org, to see if my ports update failed for this one port,
but I don't see such a failure.

I'm going to look elsewhere for answers, but given that there seems to
be an issue (the grinding noise, which will damage a scanner) I
thought that a heads up might be appropriate for people on this list
using this scanner.

Thanks and best regards,

Joe

   Subject: Re: Mount /cdrom as non-root user - does this actually work for anyone?

Stacey, what are permissions of /dev/acd0c?  The handbook example
changes the permissions of a SCSI cdrom.  I made the mistake of not
noticing this when I first tried to do make my cdrom user mountable.

   $ ls -la /dev/acd*
   crw-r-  4 root  operator  117,   0 Nov  9 14:21 /dev/acd0a
   crw-r-  4 root  operator  117,   0 Nov  9 14:21 /dev/acd0c
   $

   That's what the permissions are like after running through the procedure in the 
   HandBook. On that note, fr the record, on all machines, there are IDE CDROM 
   drives and one IDE CD-RW drive that I've got here.

   Thanks again.

   Regards,

   Stacey

  Stacey, do `chmod 666 /dev/acd0c`.  That will give the first IDE cdrom
  drive the correct permissions.  You should be able to pop in a disk and
  mount it in your directory then.

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ ls -al /dev/acd*
  crw-rw-rw-  4 root  operator  117,   0 Dec 18 00:53 /dev/acd0a
  crw-rw-rw-  4 root  operator  117,   0 Dec 18 00:53 /dev/acd0c
  ...
  crw-rw-rw-  4 root  operator  117,   8 Dec 18 00:53 /dev/acd1a
  crw-rw-rw-  4 root  operator  117,   8 Dec 18 00:53 /dev/acd1c

 Yes., I tried this in the end (well., 644 instead of 666) and I am now able to mount 
 the cd-rw drive as an ordinary user, as well as the cdrom drives on the others.., 

 However, this *does* seem to make the whole deal about adding users to the operator 
 group kind of redundant, it appears.., I could have left users where they were and 
 done the above and it would have worked all the same..,

 Also, if the HandBook has only procedures that would work for only SCSI drives, who 
 do I contact in order for some procedure relevant to those users in the community 
 that would want to / need to do the same for hosts with IDE drives?

 Thanks again for taking the time, and the patience..,

 Regards,

 Stacey

You might want to change the permissions to 666 so a user can write to
the cd-rw.  Also, section two of the same chapter goes over disk naming
convention.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-naming.html

I missed that too in the beginning.  I actually gave up temporarily the
first time I tried to make my cdroms and floppy user mountable.  I
started in on trying to add my other drive mounts and came across that
section when trying to figure out what the disks were called.  I've
found a few times when doing things based on the handbook that I needed
to start from the beginning of the chapter since it's written to be a
read like book and not an FAQ.

libxmms.so troubles with building mplayer.

2004-01-05 Thread Gary Kline


For reasons I haven't sorted out, player is looking for
/usr/local/lib/libxmms.so, while the library xmms.so[.4]
is in the X11R6 tree.  So mplayer quits.  When I turn off
WITH_XMMS, mplayer dies elsewhere.

Anybody know what's going on?

I think awk is easier:

awk '{print $2   $3   $1}' original | tr -s  target

Looking back over some of your e-mails I find:

# /dev/ad6s1c:

partition c: partition extends past end of unit
disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system
utilities
partition e: partition extends past end of unit

That doesn't look good.
ENDQUOTE

The 63 offset is spurious. I've seen this before somewhere but can't
remember the details -- i.e the value 63.

I wonder whether editing the label and setting both offsets to 0
might solve the problem. You could always make a copy of the existing label 
and put it back if the changes don't help.

You could in addition check the size for the partitions against the size given by 
fdisk for the slice.

What's the easiest way for an end-user to view the SGML articles in
/usr/doc? Is there a viewer, or do they have to be converted to say, html
first? I know they're mirrored online, but it would be nice to have the
ability to read off-line.
  
   Install the textproc/docproj-nojadetex port and run
   cd /usr/doc;make install clean.
  
   The formatted docs will then be in /usr/share/doc.
 
  Or even just download the pre-built documentation from the FreeBSD FTP
  sites.  Instructions for doing that are at the top of all of the
  pieces of documentation.
 
 Thanks to you both.
 
 I think the mist is clearing, let's see if I have this straight. The
 contents of /usr/share/doc come with the system, and any cvsup'd changes
 go instead into /usr/doc. If I want to merge the two, I use Ceri's
 suggestion. Otherwise, I can download direct as per Lowell's suggestion.

Roughly right.  The documents are installed into /usr/share/doc by
default.  The source code for those documents can be cvsup'd, and the
typical place to put them is /usr/doc.  Building the documents
involves a fairly substantial amount of software (although if you
already use teTeX, it's not so bad).  If you all you want is updates
to the documents, you can download new versions easily.  If you want
to suggest modifications to the documents, you really should install
the docproj port and its many dependencies, and build your own versions.

I'm not really very familiar with awk, but I must say this
is a much simpler and rather magical solution.

How does awk know which part of the original line goes into $1, $2 and $3.
(You will notice there is no space between the chinese and english words).

I am also mystified how it generates two lines

  a 
  av
