netscape 7.1 profile error
Netscape 7.1 from FreeBSD Ports FBSD V5.2 I get the following error when trying to open Netscape. I know it sounds like a locking issue but I can't find the file that stores the profile or the lock file for it. Anyone run into this and have a solution? I can create a new profile, but only use it once. After I close Netscape and try to rerun it, the error pops up if I try to use that profile again. Netscape 7.1 cannot use the profile Fred because it is in use. Please choose another profile or create a new one ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the most light weight X web browser?
Hello. My friend is running a tea house, she want to put her ancient Pentium 100 notebook (24MB memory) running FreeBSD 4.9, on the bar so customers can use it check mails and browse the web. (and I want to help her.) She want it to just function as a browser machine, she don't even need a window manager, the X starts up just to run a browser. (However a memory saving window manager is okay, too. But such a slow notebook what browser do you suggest to use? The harddisk don't have much space after the OS is installed, and memory is pretty limited. Epiphany comes to my mind, but it depends on Mozilla and gtk. If there is an extremely light weighted browser that just use Athena (or can be compiled so) it would be better. Perhaps Epiphany is the only choice? If so can we make it even lighter?

Just remember to make sure that malloc returns a valid pointer, otherwise you'll have another seg fault.

The correct way to reference a pointer as a two dimensional array is, of course, thus: *(ncost + (sizeof(double) * persons) + 0)) = 0.00; You've still got it wrong! ncost increments in units of size equal to that which it points so it should be: *(ncost + person*scens + scen) where person is the first index and scen the second. or in the particular instance *(ncost + person*scens + 0) = 0.00; For easier to read code it would be better to use: double (*ncost)[scens] = malloc( persons * sizeof *ncost ); and dereference as: ncost[person][scen] or in particular ncost[person][0] = 0.0; And for the OP it is usual to write constants generated with #define in upper-case. It generally seems to help to make the code easier to follow. In this case: PERSONS instead of persons and SCENS instead of scens This also make the distinction between PERSONS and person more evident while retaining their implied connection. Malcolm Thank you for the rectification. While the code did compile and run fine the way I wrote it, I suppose that's just lucky.

Compile Emacs from CVS as a port?
I use Emacs from CVS on a daily basis. Currently, I have a working copy which build and install into a subdir of my home directory. But I think building Emacs as a port might provide advantages in integrating with add-on packages that are available as ports, such as AUCTeX. I searched a bit, but everything I could find assumed that the source code for the program to build is available as a tarball, whereas I have a CVS working copy. Does anyone have pointers? Perhaps somebody has done what I need already? tia, Kai ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not needing the console for a system reload
Greetings again. Sometimes I want to do a shutdown now; use /bin/sh; exit to reload the upper layers of the system without doing a full reboot. If I'm not at the console, I can't do this, so I have to do the reboot, which takes much longer because of all the kernel loading and hardware probing. Is there a way to give a shutdown now; use /bin/sh; exit command from the command line if I'm logged in remotely?

Built-in lpr vs CUPS
The default setup is to include /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin in $PATH. This means that entering lpr -Pfoo doesn't work for printing on my machine, I have to say /usr/local/bin/lpr -Pfoo. It is obvious that I could change $PATH to mention /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, but is that the right solution? Surely there is a reason for /etc/login.conf to mention /usr/bin first.

The reason is (if I understand things correctly) that if you're in single user mode, the network isn't started, so there's no way of accessing the machine through ssh, rlogin or something similar. I think you're best off if you hook up a serial console to your machine and remotely access that console. There are commercial solutions for this but any low-end PC will do.

vinum striped volume has corrupt plex, help needed
Hi there, I've been running a 5 disk vinum array (sripted, no redundancy) for a few months now. It's composed of 5 scsi drives of 4G each. I bought a new 120G ide drive, with the intention of copying over all the files from the vinum array and retiring the array (the scsi drives are really loud). All was fine until the file copy part. Shortly after starting, i started to get scsi errors and the scsi system reset the drives and re-spun them up in an attempt to provide data (this i could hear). Eventually vinum reported a read error. My machine kinda locked up because there were swap partitions on the scsi drives and things just went south when the OS couldn't swap properly. I rebooted and fsck'd my other partitions just fine but vinum reported that the plex was corrupt and one of the subdisks was stale (see vinum list output below). I also include the output from the command to read and parse the vium table on each drive ( as describe at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html ). it sure looks to me like all the disks have the same vinum info. When i tried to vinum start striped.p0.s1, most of the time i would get an error Input/output error (5) but a couple of times the command hung (as it is right now). Also, I reconfured my scsi (2940uw) to the lowest transfer speed, disabled wide negotation (these are wide fast drives), disabled disconnect and disabled synchronous transfers. Basicly, i slowed them down as slow as they can go. I am able to successfully read each drive (tested the first 1G of each using dd if=/dev/da*s1e of=/dev/null bs=1m count=1000). There were no write operations to the vinum volume when things crashed. I'm hoping i can get vinum up and running again so i can copy off this data. Question to the group. Would a vinum create using the original configuration (i have the file) recover this situation so i could mount and read the disk? Is there something else to do that will help?

Exactly right. That's why I want a script that starts the process while I'm logged in over the network, but finishes the process even after I'm kicked off. I think you're best off if you hook up a serial console to your machine and remotely access that console. There are commercial solutions for this but any low-end PC will do.

I bought a new 120G ide drive, with the intention of copying over all the files from the vinum array and retiring the array (the scsi drives are really loud). All was fine until the file copy part. Shortly after starting, i started to get scsi errors and the scsi system reset the drives and re-spun them up in an attempt to provide data (this i could hear). Eventually vinum reported a read error. My machine kinda locked up because there were swap partitions on the scsi drives and things just went south when the OS couldn't swap properly. I rebooted and fsck'd my other partitions just fine but vinum reported that the plex was corrupt and one of the subdisks was stale (see vinum list output below). I also include the output from the command to read and parse the vium table on each drive ( as describe at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html ). it sure looks to me like all the disks have the same vinum info. When i tried to vinum start striped.p0.s1, most of the time i would get an error Input/output error (5) but a couple of times the command hung (as it is right now). It would be interesting to see the ps -l output for that process and any other Vinum-related processes. Also, I reconfured my scsi (2940uw) to the lowest transfer speed, disabled wide negotation (these are wide fast drives), disabled disconnect and disabled synchronous transfers. Basicly, i slowed them down as slow as they can go. I am able to successfully read each drive (tested the first 1G of each using dd if=/dev/da*s1e of=/dev/null bs=1m count=1000). That might work for a while. There were no write operations to the vinum volume when things crashed. I'm hoping i can get vinum up and running again so i can copy off this data. Vinum protects you by making it difficult to access data of dubious integrity. Question to the group. Would a vinum create using the original configuration (i have the file) recover this situation so i could mount and read the disk? Yes. Is there something else to do that will help? Yes.

I've read documentation that said type abc but never said where.

This is not an OS that does everything for you. You have to be prepared to read, try, accept that what you tried didn't work first time, try again, read more. JP input in FreeBSD is once you get it,is not particularly tough but if you won't even google for information then you really are in a tight spot and everything you try to do with Unix will be a chore. There are plenty of good places on the web that will teach you how to do this but in order to be able to get it working correctly you need to understand how a Unix machine deals with Kanji and to understand the relationship between the environment settings and the OS.

Scripted fdisk/slice/fs generation?
Hi all, I do CPIO style image backups of my FreeBSD systems. In the event that I need to restore one of these backups, I usually use the FreeBSD installation media to fdisk and create filesystems, then mount the new filesystems and restore the CPIO archive. This system works great for me, but I would like to automate the restoration process. I have worked a little with fdisk and disklabel back in FreeBSD 2.x days (and trying early versions of OpenBSD) but wouldn't really know where to start automating that process. ( I do write code, but the thought of trying to use disklabel to read the geometry of the disks, calculate sizes, cylinder boundaries, etc give me a headache ) I would really like to specify minimum sizes of partitions and filesystems, with one having all the excess (rather than having to count cylinders).

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
I had a similar, but different problem with 4.7 which impacted all network traffic but was most noticible using Konqueror. I was getting similar pauses regardless of the application I ran. Unless you are running BIND and attempting to get at zones that you adminster, I don't think this is a DNS issue. In my case, the problem was a high rate of collision and dropped packets between the NIC and the switch it was connected to. I changed the media information for my network card from 100TX to 10baseT using ifconfig() and that seems to have fixed the problem. You might try this just for the heck of it to see if it helps your situation.

Piping this through sendmail for delivery on a different machine gives me the text without the ^M's, which invalidates the signature on the email. Try base64-encoding the signed message, instead of piping it through as text/plain. The ^M characters [ascii:13] at the end of lines terminated with ^J [ascii:10] can be intepreted by network servers and/or clients as part of EOL, the end of the line. A good explanation of why this might happen is found in [Richard Stevens, TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. I, pp. 401]: : NVT ASCII : : The term NVT ASCII refers to the 7-bit U.S. variant of the ASCII : character set used throughout the Internet protocol suite. Each 7-bit : character is sent as an 8-bit byte, with the high-order bit set to 0. : An end-of-line is transmitted as the 2-character sequence CR : (carriage return) followed by an LF (line feed). We show this as \r\n. : A carriage return is transmitted as the 2-character sequence CR followed : by a NUL (byte of 0). We show this as \r\0.

If everything outside of KDE responds normally to tcp/ip requests it's obviously not DNS-related. I vaguely remember having problems opening browsers during the brief period I used KDE until I cleared /tmp and ~/ of their mcop and dcop files, which seemed to fix it. Give that a try.

FreeBSD 5.2.1: Booting Issue
Hello, I am trying to setup FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a PC, which is equipped with * AMD K6/233 * 256 MB RAM * Adaptec AHA-1542 (SCSI-Id #7, I/O 0x0330, IRQ 15, DMA 0) * RealTek RTL8139 * Seagate ST34520N (SCSI-Id #0) * Quantum Fireball 540S (SCSI-Id #1) * Matshita CR-8005A (SCSI-Id #6) * SoundBlaster SB2 (I/O 0x0220, IRQ 2, DMA 1) * 1,44 MB/3,5 Floppy Booting from CDROM doesn't work, so I created two floppies, one made from kern.flp, the other made from mfsroot.flp, but unfortunately booting from the floppies doesn't work either! After replacing the boot floppy with the one containing the root file system, the kernel says something like AHA invalid DMA setting and stops after some time asking with file system to continue with. When going for ufs:md0 I am ending with the sysinstall, but I can't install anything because not a single disk can be found! How can I solve this one? - Martin PGP.sig Description: PGP signature
