Hi there.

I am having trouble using CURRENT code. Im sure I must be making a
fundamental mistake becasue every time I try to compile I get errors.

Ill step you through what I have done:

here is my cvsup file:
*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup4.uk.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

src-all

ran cvsup on it. worked fine. I also used a refuse file to ignore foreign
stuff as explained in the handbook.

Next:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld (runs ok)

Now I copy the GENERIC kernel config to HITBOX and edit arch settings and
ident.

make buildkenel KERNCONF=HITBOX

It compiles away for about 10 minutes then returns a savage error:

/usr/src/sys/geom/geom_io.c: In function `g_io_request':
/usr/src/sys/geom/geom_io.c:283: structure has no member named `wentbusy'

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HITBOX.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.

I have no idea where to go from here.
I have had similar errors when using code checked out from regular cvs
co. So its not my source (i dont think).

The OS I am running is 5.2.1-RELEASE on an x86 machine.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help.

Thankyou!

Re: apache 2 in ports

 Hi, I want to compile apache2 from ports with suexec.

 Can someone fill me in please.

A brief look at www/apache2/Makefile.modules suggests that you just need to
specify WITH_SUEXEC=yes in the build environment.  Makefile.modules gets
included from Makefile.

This should work:

# make WITH_SUEXEC=yes install

Or if you use portupgrade and friends,

# portinstall -M WITH_SUEXEC=yes www/apache2

You can then put it in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf under MAKE_ARGS:

  MAKE_ARGS = {
'www/apache2' = 'WITH_SUEXEC=yes',
  }

This ensures you won't have to specify it each time you upgrade.

Bizarre copy of ARRAY in aassign at /path/to/awstats.pl line 8707

After some checking, I found this issue was fixed in awstats.pl revision
1.747. I downloaded the most current revision (1.755) and replaced the
revision that's included with the port. This seems to solve the
problem. YMMV.

Is it appropriate to send a problem report about this? I've never sent
one so I want to be sure before bugging someone.

Hopefully this post will save others from having to research and resolve
this issue.

You aren't the only one to notice this: it's being discussed over on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] at the moment. See the thread that starts with:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-June/013104.html

which generally means a fix will soon be forthcoming.

Generally in these sort of cases your first point of contact should be
the port's maintainer. Find that by:

% cd /usr/ports/www/awstats
% make -V MAINTAINER

Now just sending an e-mail to the maintainer usually suffices, and
most maintainers will be happy to fix things and help you out
generally.

However, if the maintainer has an @FreeBSD.org address (including
various mailing list addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) then you can use send-pr(1) to send in a bug report
- preferably including a fix. If the port is unmaintained
(ie. maintainer is [EMAIL PROTECTED]) then you may well get asked to
become the maintainer... Also use send-pr(1) if e-mail to the
maintainer bounces or you get no reply after a reasonable time
(ie. two weeks) -- mention the problem in the PR you send. See

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-maintainer.html

Re: dspam

2004-06-09 Thread Geert Hendrickx

dspam keeps its database in root-owned files in /usr/local/etc/dspam,
so you must run it as root or use suid.  

I use spamprobe, a very similar spamfilter (also based on John Grahams
ideas in A plan for spam), but it stores its database under the users
home-directory, which will give you no problems with file-permissions.  

You can easily use spamprobe with procmail or maildrop to filter your
spam, it's well-documented.

What scheme for securing LAN is better?

Apache  _ FreeBSD LAN

Web ServerFirewall

 

or

   FreeBSD

Web Server

What are advantages and disadvantages of two?

I know that is much more important how tuned Firewalls, Web Server and workstations

Is there any difficulty for workstations that should works in Internet, because of two

Re: Building Perl with shared lib libperl

2004-06-09 Thread Matthew Seaman

On Tue, Jun 08, 2004 at 10:31:16PM -0400, Robert Fitzpatrick wrote:
 Trying to install a procedural language in PostgreSQL 7.4.2, pl/perl,
 but it complains that my 'libperl is not a shared library' and that I
 may need to rebuild my Perl. I am using Perl 5.6.1, is there a way to
 set this option when using the port /usr/ports/lang/perl5?

Not with the land/perl5 port.  However, a shared libperl.so is built
by default for the lang/perl5.8 port -- recommend you update to that.

Since lang/perl5 is nolonger the default version to install in
FreeBSD-5.x I'm not entirely sure why the lang/perl5 port is still
stuck at perl-5.6.1.  That's a pretty ancient version now, and
perl.org recommends 5.8.4 as the standard version everyone should run.

Note that if you upgrade from perl-5.6.1 to perl-5.8.4 you will need
to re-install any perl modules so that perl-5.8.4 can find them, and
you will need to re-install various automake ports that invoke
perl5.x.y specifically.  See /usr/ports/UPDATING for some brief
instructions, but the procedure is generally something like this:

# find /usr/local/lib/perl5/{5.6.1,site_perl/5.6.1} -type -f -print0 | \
xargs -0 -n 1 pkg_which | sort -u  /tmp/perl-modules
# portupgrade -o lang/perl5.8 -f lang/perl5
# use.perl port
# vi /tmp/perl-modules 

(Edit the list of modules for sanity: take out the explicit references
to perl-5.6.1 and the '?', and various lines where 'pkg_which' thinks
the file belongs to more than one port.  You can (but this is not
mandatory) also remove ports which are supplied both as standalone and
that are bundled by default with perl but remember to pkg_delete
anything you aren't going to re-install)

# xargs portupgrade -f  /tmp/perl-modules

which will churn away for quite some time.  Eventually you should end
up with /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 and
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 both being pretty much empty, and
with most of their contents transferred to the corresponding 5.8.4
directories.  If everything has gone according to plan, the 5.6.1
directories will be redundant and can be deleted.

Cheers,

Matthew

 ... running /etc/rc.d/slapd start doesn't  even start the

 going wrong and right now I have to run the server without TLS.
I had the same problem with slapd not reporting any errors on start. So I
added the line:
local4.*/var/log/ldap.log
To my /etc/syslog.conf to have it log out everything going on. This helped.

 Can you just catch the tree at a bad time when it will not compile?

Yes, it's not unusual at all with -CURRENT.

If you're going to run -CURRENT, you should subscribe to the -CURRENT mailing
list.  There's usually heads-ups called if someone expects to break the tree,
and usually a lot of discussion when the tree is broken.

If lurking on the -CURRENT list for a while doesn't reveal the nature of the
problem, post the errors you're getting to -CURRENT, and I'm sure someone will
have reasonable advice for you.  It also wouldn't be unusual if the breakage is
already fixed and you just need to cvsup again.

Good luck.

Process hangs in DL state, can't be killed - can't shutdown -p (tccat)

2004-06-09 Thread Joachim Dagerot

I used DVD::RIP to rip one of my DVD's when it suddenly stopped
responding (during rip phase).

I found that tccat was the offending task and tried to kill it with no
luck.

After a couple of hours reading I find my self standing with a process
in lockstate that doesn't listening to signals (no kill-9 is working).


ps -aux  gives:

PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED  TIME COMMAND
2188  0.0  0.4  6352 2272  p0  DL   12:08PM   0:02.01 tccat -t dvd -T
3,-1,1 -i /cdrom


I tried shutdown -r now and it sent the *** FINAL SHUTDWON message,
but nothing else is happening.

To be honest, I have actually got my rock-steady, super-duper, awsome
freeBSD system to hang. That's cool in some way (took 2,5 years
though).

The not so cool thing is that my hardware RAID5 system doesn't like
too much to be powered down in opposite to system down. So it would be
very very nice if someone could hint me in any steps that I can try to
get rid of the lock. 

( I did a powerdown earlier before I was so enlighted as I am now and
it gave me some headache carrying the 22Kg server to a monitor and
running fsck in init 3 mode on a 800GB file system Don't want to
go there again)

Btw, it's the DVD-rom device that's errenous.

X Session Attach/Detach?

2004-06-09 Thread Andy Harrison

I was just wondering if there was any software to allow this?  I've
been googling around a bit, but not coming up with anything specific.
Sort of like the Sunrays where you can detach from your local machine
where you're working, go to another machine, then reattach to the same
X session.  Yes, I'm aware of tools like vnc and the like, but I was
wondering if there was anything more seamless.

This kind of suggests that libidn isn't yet in your ldconfig cache.  To
check, run 

# ldconfig -r | grep idn  

If it doesn't appear, run 

# ldconfig -R

Then try the cpan install again.

Scanner HP 5200C: can someone please help me? I'm lost!

2004-06-09 Thread Rob Lahaye

Hi,
I have an HP 5200C scanner, attached over USB.
OS is FreeBSD 4-Stable.
In the kernel configuration file, I have this for usb support:
device  scbus   # SCSI bus (required)
device  da  # Direct Access (disks)
device  uhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface
device  usb # USB Bus (required)
device  umass   # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device  uscanner# Scanners
Recompiled everything etc. etc.
Now I'm trying to get through the information on this scanner  FreeBSD.
I'm quite familiar with managing FreeBSD, but here I'm totally lost.
I get this:
# sane-find-scanner
[...]
found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0
# xscanimage /dev/uscanner0
pops up a dialog that says
 Failed to open device '/dev/uscanner0'. Invalid argument.
# xscanimage
[xscanimage] No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
  different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and
  detected by sane-find-scanner (if appropriate). Please read
  the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ,
  manpages).

In various manuals (too many talk about linux only) I learn that
I should configure/tell the kernel about the vendor and product.
I know how to (re)compile the kernel etc. but how do I tell the
kernel that I have an HP 5200C scanner?
Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.

Permission requirements are pretty loose.
But, that site sure doesn't look relevant to FreeBSD in any way.
Maybe they use it on their server.   Maybe Kirk McKusick may want

  And perhaps then try to install your wanted perl module from ports 
  instead of CPAN:
  
  Port:   p5-Net-LibIDN-0.07_1
  Path:   /usr/ports/devel/p5-Net-LibIDN
  Info:   This module provides access to the libidn library
  Maint:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Index:  devel perl5
  B-deps: expat-1.95.7 gettext-0.13.1_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 libiconv-1.9.1_3 
  libidn-0.4.6
  R-deps: expat-1.95.7 gettext-0.13.1_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 libiconv-1.9.1_3 
  libidn-0.4.6
 
 Now this has worked for me. Thanks so much, although I don't like
 installing Perl Modules using the ports, but since it works, I will
 use this method in the future when I am btn a rock and a hard place.

Probably what happened is that FreeBSD installs libidn in a different location
than Linux-centrix CPAN expects, thus installing the module from CPAN, it can't
find it.  When you install perl modules from ports, the FreeBSD ports magic
ensures that the proper (in the FreeBSD world) locations are checked.

The upshot being, if you don't install everything from ports, you need to learn
how to tell the installation program where to look for dependencies.  There's
probably some option you can pass to CPAN to tell it where to look.

On the flip side, I'm not 100% sure this was the problem, but it's the most
common reason I've seen for this kind of failure.

How to turn off keyboard bell

2004-06-09 Thread Bob

Hi there,

I'm having a difficult time turning off the keyboard bell.  I have tried 
kbdcontrol -b off and setting keybell=NO in rc.conf, but this only shortens 
it down to a chirp.  If I set kbdcontrol -b visual, then the audible bell goes 
away completely and I get a flashing screen instead.  What am I missing here?  
How can I turn the bell off completely?  This is on a fresh install of 4.9.

apache segfault (11)

2004-06-09 Thread Antoine Jacoutot

Hi :)

I'm having a very big problem with latest apache from ports under 5.2.1.
First let me say that all my ports are up-to-date.
Now, I use Apache+php+mysql with Horde for webmail.

Since a couple of days, the webmail is almost impossible to use, login in 
takes forever and usually ends with an error page saying couldn't get 
http://www.domain.com/horde/blablabla.php

In the Apache logs (debug), I only get this:
[notice] child pid 68233 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

I tried to look everywhere but couldn't find a answer for this problem.
The top command issue a regular line, no strange processes eating the CPU...

Any idea ?
Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more information.

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.31+2.8.18_3
php4-4.3.7_1

Regards,

Antoine

 This kind of suggests that libidn isn't yet in your ldconfig cache.

No, it doesn't; ldconfig is used by the run-time linker (ld-elf.so.1),
not the compile-time linker (ld, usually via gcc).  What's missing is a
-L/usr/local/lib someplace, which is one reason that using ports is a
good idea: ports know where their dependencies live :)

Re: Parallel Printer Problem

2004-06-09 Thread Ben Timby

My first thought is to check your BIOS, and try enabling/disabling any 
auto config features associated with this port. In my experience, ppc0 
*just works*. However, I did a google groups search, and I found some 
threads describing your problem, and providing solutions along these lines.

Apache-MySQL-PHP from ports

2004-06-09 Thread Grant Peel

Hi all,

TO this point, I have been installing everything from source. Starting with
the new servers, which I am working on now, I would like to do as much as
possible from ports.

I have mysql installed correctly.

I need now to install PHP and Apache.

The source type install would require to run ./configure with a few options,
then back to the PHP source dir, run ./configure with a few options, make,
make install, then back to the apache dir, re ./configure, make, make
install, etc etc.

Since ports have patches and some Makefile options set, is it permissable to
go to the Apache or PHP port dir, run the make, then rerun ./configure so as
to emulate the steps above?

Eventually, When it becomes time to comile apache, I will need to add the
FrontPage patch as well. All this considered, woould I be better to keep
installing all from source, or still try to stick to the ports method?

Re: Apache-MySQL-PHP from ports


I sure that most of this can be done by setting environmental variables.
Also the PHP port presents you with a pretty screen allowing you to
choose waht to build in. Maybe apache does this too, but I havent
compiled it in a while and cant remember. Best thing you can do is
examine the Makefiles.

Good Luck!

Sure, have a crontab do the tar daily and then use mutt to send it as an

Hehe ...
You're underestimating the ports.

I would suggest you follow the following steps:
1) cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4  make install
2) Wait a bit for the download
3) Be pleasantly surprised

p.s. I was going to just tell you what will happen, but I think it'll be more
fun if you're just pleasantly surprised :)

p.p.s. Yes, you could do what you suggest, and it would work, but I think you'll
be pleasantly surprised that you don't have to :)

p.p.p.s.  Once PHP is installed, just go to the mod_frontpage directly and
install it, it will add the module to Apache

Re: fstab

 
 
  It would be whatever you used in the disklabel run (or the one done
  for you if you use sysinstall).   'd' is unlikely and so is 'c'
 
 d is highly likely and is what you get if you use sysinstall in 5.x.  I 
 have about 25 drives with a d partition.
 d certainly is unlikely in 4.x
 c will appear in the list but shouldnt be used to mount

Well, another 5.x thing I guess.

If I could get all the 4.9 stuff out of the way, and free up a machine, I
might get started looking at 5.xxx.

Ah ... a neophyte unwittingly asking to be taught the magic of shell-scripting.

Yes, you can do everything you ask.  The trick is to write a shell script to
automate it for you, then add the shell script to cron to be automagically
executed on a schedule.

Here's my suggestion:
1) Study the attached shell script, it backs up to a seperate HDD, but it'll
   give you an idea of how things work
2) Read up on man mail to learn how to use the mail program from a shell
   script
3) Write your own and test it from the command line.
4) Add a cron entry to automate it.
5) Once you're getting good backups, look into using rsync to make the process
   even smoother.

begin simple backup shell script
#!/bin/sh
 
# Takes the files in /backup/source and bzips them into an
# archive in /backup/archive
# Also deletes archive files older than a certain amount
 
DATE=`/bin/date +%F`
MAXAGE=14
 
/usr/bin/tar cyf /backup/archive/backup-${DATE}.tbz /backup/source  /dev/null 21
/usr/bin/find /backup/archive -mtime ${MAXAGE} -delete

Yeah.  This sort of thing is easy to do with a very small shell
script.  From your specifications, something like this will do the
job:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin ; export PATH

htmldir=/usr/local/www/data
recipient=[EMAIL PROTECTED]
today=$(date +%Y%m%d)

tar -cvjf - ${htmldir} | uuencode backup-${today}.tar.bz2 | \
mail -s Backup of ${htmldir} on ${today} ${recipient} \
/var/log/backup.log 21

Save that to a file, make it executable and run it out of root's
crontab on a daily basis:

@daily /usr/local/bin/mybackupscript

(be sure you understand the difference between /etc/crontab and
/var/cron/tabs/root, and how to use crontab(1) correctly: do *not*
feed /etc/crontab into the crontab command.)

The recipient should use procmail or similar to feed the backup
messages into uudecode and so extract the compressed tar file.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: Apache-MySQL-PHP from ports

Hi all,
TO this point, I have been installing everything from source. Starting with
the new servers, which I am working on now, I would like to do as much as
possible from ports.
I have mysql installed correctly.
I need now to install PHP and Apache.
The source type install would require to run ./configure with a few options,
then back to the PHP source dir, run ./configure with a few options, make,
make install, then back to the apache dir, re ./configure, make, make
install, etc etc.
Since ports have patches and some Makefile options set, is it permissable to
go to the Apache or PHP port dir, run the make, then rerun ./configure so as
to emulate the steps above?
 

Yes, but you'd defeat the point of it running all 3 steps automagically.
Eventually, When it becomes time to comile apache, I will need to add the
FrontPage patch as well. All this considered, woould I be better to keep
installing all from source, or still try to stick to the ports method?
 

I would think that defining the desired options in 
/usr/local/etc/php.conf would allow
you to get things configured as you like them with a one liner (make 
install clean);
I tend to just use the defaults, though.  See make(1), make.conf(5), 
/usr/ports/mk/bsd.php.mk,
and /usr/local/etc/php.conf (now, whether or not you have the last two 
if you've
never done it from ports, I dunno)

For FP, can't you just load the module?

 Sort of like the Sunrays where you can detach from your local machine
 where you're working, go to another machine, then reattach to the same
 X session.  Yes, I'm aware of tools like vnc and the like, but I was
 wondering if there was anything more seamless.

Have a look at xmove

xmove is a pseudoserver (much like lbx) which allows you to move
X-Clients between different displays, or even suspend and resume them.

Its a prxy server a bit like the lbx proxy but not too hard to setup from
what i remember.

 The best way would be to do something like

 ifconfig ep0 inet 204.156.12.156 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

 , since you have no guarantees that the remote system has a route back
 to your real IP address.  With an aliased IP, the remote system should
 realize it's talking to a machine on the same subnet.

 Just make sure the ip address you pick isn't already in use.

Re: Problem: cannot install on Dell 400SC

 
 Is the SCSI channel terminated properly? What is the LUN of the HDD?

The SCSI cable appears to be terminated.  It has a terminator block
on the end of the cable just past the hard drive.

As for the LUN, I think it would be '0' on channel 'B' if I am
making sense of the BIOS screen.   Once I get that close to the
hardware, I am getting out of my level.   It has a setting that
says scan LUNs greater than 0 and that is set to yes by default.
The SCSI itself appears to be set to LUN 7, by the way.

 Subject: Problem: cannot install on Dell 400SC
 
 Hi,
 
 I am hoping someone can give us some clues about this problem.
 A couple of us have done some searching, but found nothing that
 bears directly on it.   Maybe some different search clues might
 also help.   I am hoping for more than just it won't work, because...
 but, even a conclusive one of those would get us off the point - which
 begins to dig in after a while...
 
 Sorry this is rather long, but I wanted to include anything that
 might possibly be relevant.   Here goes.
 
 One of our sites recently purchased a Dell Poweredge 400SC and
 wants to run our school district network server system on it.
 Our system is currently based on FreeBSD 4.9 with some modifications
 to control the initial installation and aid in system management.
 We have it running on a number of other Dell Poweredge machines but
 not this particular model and especially not the LSIL SCSI controller.
 
 It has a  2.4G Celeron CPU,
   1 GB Memory
   Planar PE400SC, A/N, 2 Motherboard
   LSI Logics 53C1030 SCSI controller
   Fujitsu 36GB MAP337NP SCSI U320, 10K, 68 Pin connector hard drive.
   + NIC, IDE controller, CDROM, Tape drive, etc.
 
 Although this model was not our recommendation, it would look like,
 on paper, that it should at least, function.   But,,,
 
 We cannot get any FreeBSD system to install on it, not ours or even
 a straight FreeBSD 4.9 or 5.2.1 system - and I just tried 4.10 too with
 the same result.
 
 It reads the CD, boots into the sysinstall or our install system just
 fine.   It appears to do the fdisk and disklabel just fine.   Then it
 hangs or appears to hang trying to do the newfs.   It puts out the message
 about writing superblocks and then nothing more comes out - no list
 of superblocks of any kind, not even the first.
 
 I have made up variations on our version of sysinstall with additional
 messages but have not gotten any information that means anything to me.
 
 After a wait of several minutes it writes stuff to the ALT console.
 
 If I let it set long enough (hours) it puts out a failed message.
 
 
 I didn't have any MS install media handy, But did have my Partition Magic
 emergency boot floppies around so I used them to take a look after
 having attempted to do first our install, then FreeBSD 4.9 and finally
 FreeBSD 5.2.1.
 
 PM quite happily looked at things and recognized the FreeBSD slice (which,
 of course it called a partition).  So, I deleted the slice and created
 two and used the FreeBSD install CD to attempt to install on the second
 slice (da0s2) which it seemed happy to do.After checking again with
 PM and seeing that the new slicing had the FreeBSD id one it I popped in
 another FreeBSD cd and sysinstall happily read up that label with all
 the FreeBSD partitions (a,b,e,f,g,h) that I had made.   So, FreeBSD can
 obviously write some part of the disk.   But, newfs still would get to
 writing superblocks and then nothing more happened.
 
 That is the thing that seems odd to me.  It does write to some part of
 the disk, enough to write label information.   But, it does not seem
 to be able to do any other type of write to the disk.   So, are the
 writes so different that a controller can handle one and not the other?
 There are several LSIL SCSI controllers listed in the hardware list and
 some in the 53C series, but not exactly 53C1030.   Can the write be
 enough similar to handle labels, but not other stuff?
 
 One of the other people in our group put Linux on it - Debian I believe
  - and it appeared to install and write the disk just fine.  So, I take
 that to mean that it isn't really just a flawed disk, though I suppose
 that is still possible.
 
 So, here is a blow-by-blow using any of the FreeBSD RELEASE cds I
 happen to have handy (4.9. 5.2.1 and 4.10).
 
 Basically, everything looks like it is going fine until after
 I select commit.
 It happily puts up a message on the curses screen saying
 
   Making a new root filesystem on /dev/da0s1a
 
 Then it stops and appears to do no more - at least for a long time.
 
 Here are the ALT-F2 console messages from when it starts to operate on
 the disk:
 
 |DEBUG: Scanning disk da0 for root filesystem
 |DEBUG: Scanning disk

 Now I'm trying to get through the information on this scanner  FreeBSD.
 I'm quite familiar with managing FreeBSD, but here I'm totally lost.

Have you installed Xsane? If not, I recommend it. Of, if you prefer
some other GUI, there may be one bundled with Gnome or KDE. Then, you
should read the docs for Xsane or whatever GUI you choose. The docs
for Xsane will point you to Sane, and its docs, so follow those
pointers. I have one of these x200c thingies, and they do work with
Sane/Xsane.  Or at least, mine does.

You can check here for your scanner:

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html

 I get this:
 
 # sane-find-scanner
 [...]
 found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0
 
 # xscanimage /dev/uscanner0
 
 pops up a dialog that says
  Failed to open device '/dev/uscanner0'. Invalid argument.
 
 # xscanimage
 [xscanimage] No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something
   different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and
   detected by sane-find-scanner (if appropriate). Please read
   the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ,
   manpages).
 
 In various manuals (too many talk about linux only) I learn that
 I should configure/tell the kernel about the vendor and product.
 
 I know how to (re)compile the kernel etc. but how do I tell the
 kernel that I have an HP 5200C scanner?

If you read the documents, you will find that there is at least one
configuration file you will need to edit for your scanner. I don't
have access to my box right now, but IIRC the file is in
/usr/local/etc/ ?

 However, defragmentation requires some blank space, and (ideally) you

two tar issues: man page and --totals behaviour

2004-06-09 Thread Stefan A. Deutscher


Hi folks,

  just noticed two issues with tar on FreeBSD 5.1 (actually, it is
GNU tar 1.13.25):

(1) The man page is somewhat out of sync with what tar --help shows
in terms of options

Should I submit a PR for that one, or send a bug report to the gnu
tar maintainers, or both?


(2) The option --totals, according to the docs and --help, is supposed
to show the bytes _written_. It does not quite:

- When running plain 'tar c', it actually shows the bytes written.

- When running tar with any of the built-in compression flags, such
  as 'tar -c -{z,Z,y}', it shows the exact same number of bytes as
  when invoked without these flags.
  
While, technically, it might show the bytes written _to_ the
compression program, for all practical purposes it appears to show
what was _read_ from disk. The space used on tape may be
significantly smaller.

I understand that for backwards compatibility one cannot just change
the behaviour of this flag from one day to another. Fixing the docs
might be the easy way out, but I'd like to suggest the addition of
some flag that reports what was actually written _to_ the tape
device.

Even if the device-internal HW compression may change what actually
ends up on tape (i.e. compressing uncompressed stuff somewhat while
probably not gaining anything on gzip or bzip2), this would give a
better indicator of tape usage and space left on a tape.

I have no idea whether this  has been discussed here already, google
didn't like me enough to turn up relevant threads. Nor do I know how
the upcoming bsdtar handles that flag's behaviour.

Again, should I submit  a PR for that one, or send a bug report to
the gnu tar folks, or both?



Cheers,
  Stefan

man tunefs

See, in particular, the section on the -m option, which describes (in brief)
the known performance problems and how FreeBSD reacts.

Robert's numbers aren't quite right.  The point at which performance starts to
suck is 90% full.

You won't have any _problems_, it's just that performance will degrade,
according to the man page, up to 3x slower.

It is mentioned as a recommendation.  It is not an absolute.
Do a little searching and you will probably find some references.
We have some that run in to the 90-s most of the time too.  It
depends on what you are actually doing.   If it is a fairly stable
collection of data that doesn't get a lot written to it most of
the time, it shouldn't matter.   If it is very volatile - lots of
files come and go, then it could make a bigger difference.  Unless
it gets to the 100% mark (except for root) with that 100% being with
the set-aside already taken out, it shouldn't cause anything to crash.

 the audible bell goes away completely and I get a flashing screen
 instead.  What am I missing here?  How can I turn the bell off
 completely?  This is on a fresh install of 4.9.

Hi Bob,

I think this bug has been fixed since 4.9 RELEASE.  You might want to
try updating your sources with cvsup, or simply applying the patch that
fixes the bug (below), and rebuilding your kernel.

   FreeBSD will defragment itself without any action from the user.
   However, defragmentation requires some blank space, and (ideally) you
   should not let any partition get more than 80% full. You can check on
   that with df -h:
  
  I've been running partitions well over 90% for over six years on
  FreeBSD and have not seen any problems with doing so.
  
  Do you have a FreeBSD documentation reference for that 80% figure?
 
 man tunefs
 
 See, in particular, the section on the -m option, which describes (in brief)
 the known performance problems and how FreeBSD reacts.

My minfree space is at the default of 8% and the man page says this
is space held back from normal users.  Is that 8% also held back
from the df output?  I'm thinking that it is since I've seen posts
where users have greater than 100% showing in their df output.

I was interpreting the 80% number being applied to the numbers
shown by df.  If its 98% as shown by df 
(8% minfree + 2% more = 10% of total disk capacity), then that isn't
too bad.  I think I'm under that most of the time.

Would the total disk size start to come into play at some point?
10% of an 8G disk is a whole lot smaller than 10% of a 200G disk.

Thanks for the pointer too!

Best regards,

Randy

 Robert's numbers aren't quite right.  The point at which performance starts to
 suck is 90% full.
 
 You won't have any _problems_, it's just that performance will degrade,
 according to the man page, up to 3x slower.

 Do a little searching and you will probably find some references.
 We have some that run in to the 90-s most of the time too.  It
 depends on what you are actually doing.   If it is a fairly stable
 collection of data that doesn't get a lot written to it most of
 the time, it shouldn't matter.   If it is very volatile - lots of
 files come and go, then it could make a bigger difference.  Unless
 it gets to the 100% mark (except for root) with that 100% being with
 the set-aside already taken out, it shouldn't cause anything to crash.

While most of the data/files are stable, there's probably a few
Gigs that come and go with fair regularity.  I update the box
very frequently (ports, docs and sources) so that adds to the
churning I'm sure.

I'll start watching for any performance hits the next time it gets
over 95% full.  I'm just a bit surprised that I've not noticed
anything.

Thanks for the response.  Much appreciated.

Re: Improper shutdown of system / Fragmentation Problems / Boot

2004-06-09 Thread Scott

Hi,

As a newbie to FreeBSD, I may be way off base, but it seems
very logical to me that the size of your drive or partition
would make a difference on at what percentage full one would
start to notice problems.

In terms of megs/gigs 80% of 120 gigs still has a lot of
work space left. 80% of 4 gigs is not much. I would think
with a larger drive/partition, one could run at a higher
percentage before trouble started.

It makes sense to me anyway :)

perl 5.8, Apache, Tomcat mod_webapp

2004-06-09 Thread Jason Suplizio

Does the subject line give it all away? Let me elaborate: I'm running 
FreeBSD 5.2 with the latest port of Tomcat and Perl 5.6.1. So, this is 
what I'd like to do:

1- Install Apache (latest port) with mod_webapp to forward my port 8080 
requests to the appropriate container

2- Upgrade Perl to 5.8.x (to run CGI web apps)
Please, I would love your feedback before I proceed to hose my current 
configuration. If you know of any issues that I must be aware of, please 
give me your feedback.

Thank you in advance,
Jason

Logical or not, you're wrong.

The point is how hard the FFS algorithms have to search to find
a spot on the disk to put things, and how accessible that spot
is the next time that data is needed to be read.  While 10% of
120G seems like a lot of space, it's still only 10%.  Imagine a
parking lot with only 10% free spots.  If the lot has 1000 spots,
how long do you drive around before you find a _good_ spot?  If
it has a total of 100 spots, how long does it take to find a
_good_ spot?  The analogy isn't perfect, but the point is the
perceived improvement at having a higher number of free spaces
is offset by other factors, and the rule of 90% free stands
no matter what size the drive.

Newer drives with bigger caches, higher rotational speeds and
lower seek times are much more likely to change this percentage
than the physical size of the drive.

 It makes sense to me anyway :)

That was the first thing I did actually...
I even rebuilt the world/kernel.

No change whatsoever :(

I'm really concern about this problem.
Basically what it does is:
- I go on horde/imp login page
- I enter user/pass then click on login
- the browser  does not move for about 30 seconds (until the apache segfault)
- I get the cannot load blablabla.php error
- if I then try again to login, sometimes it works right away, sometimes, I 
get the same problem.

That's what one would like, but UFS doesn't work that way.  It's allocation
algorithm assumes 10% of the disk is free -- regardless of actual size. Or so
I've been told (multiple times).

IMHO this is a bit ridiculous -- I mean, given 1 TB of space (nearly feasible
for a home server right now), why would an FS allocator need 10% of that if
the files on the volume are averaging 10 MB?

But then again, and this is worth noting -- I'm certainly nowhere near as
clueful as others on how to design a stable  fast file system.  Seeing as
UFS1 is still in use, and has been for the last 20 years (think about it!), I
think maybe the tradeoff might make sense to an expert...

BTW, note that you really need to consider the perfomance drop for yourself
-- like others said, if the files on the volume change infrequently,
performance matters little, and space more so.

It could be a limitation of your monitor.  Pretty much every monitor
these days supports EDID (Extended Display Information Data??), which
means that the video drive or card card probe the monitor for it's
specs.  With this info in hand, X probably won't allow a setting that
would exceed the maximum specifications of the monitor.  You should take
a look at the X log - probably at /var/log/XFree86.0.log and you'll
messages from X about why it didn't choose a specific resolution.  Even
though it's not fully relevant these days, there is a HOWTO about 'X
Video Timings' that makes for a very interesting read over at tldp.org:
