Re: Questions about Hauppauge WinTV 350

Question: are all WinTV 350s the same? In Australia we have the same standards as in most of Europe (PAL, not NTSC), and the tuner frequencies are also the same as those in Europe. If I buy a card in the USA, will it work here, or are there two different kinds of card, depending on where they're sold? The web site is not of much help. To help me decide, it would be nice to hear from somebody with experience with the cards who can tell me a definite answer to at least one of these questions: * Are there separate versions for different countries? * Does the device you have support both PAL and NTSC? * Does the tuner on your device support both European and US frequencies? * What kind of antenna connector does your card have? US TVs tend to have a screw-on connector, while European one tend to have a push-on connector. Other information, in particular where I can get them cheap, would also be appreciated.

Don't = make the mistake of assuming its faster, especially since the cost of = a copy has gone way down. Actually, let me back off from agreeing with you here :-) On io-bound machines (such as my laptop), there is no discernable difference in either the CPU or the elapsed time -- md5-ing a file with mmap or read is (curiously) slightly faster than just cat-ing it into /dev/null. On an dual P2 450MHz, the single process always wins the CPU time and sometimes the elapsed time. Sometimes it wins handsomly: mmap: 35.271u 4.004s 1:06.08 59.4% 10+190k 0+0io 4185pf+0w read: 32.134u 15.797s 1:58.72 40.3% 408+302k 11228+0io 12pf+0w or mmap: 35.039u 4.558s 1:10.27 56.3%10+190k 5+0io 5028pf+0w read: 29.931u 27.848s 2:07.17 45.4% 10+187k 11219+0io 5pf+0w Mind you, both of the two processors are Xeons with _2Mb of cache on each_, so memory copying should be even cheaper on them than usual. And yet mmap manages to win... On a single P2 400MHz (standard 521Kb cache) mmap always wins the CPU time, and, thanks to that, can win the elapsed time on a busy system. For example, running two of these processes in parallel (on two separate copies of the same huge file residing on distinct disks) yields (same 1462726660-byte file as in the dual Xeon stats above): mmap: 66.989u 7.584s 3:01.76 41.0%5+238k 90+0io 22456pf+0w 65.474u 7.729s 2:38.59 46.1%5+241k 90+0io 22401pf+0w read: 60.724u 42.394s 3:37.01 47.5% 5+241k 22541+0io 0pf+0w 61.778u 41.987s 3:35.36 48.1% 5+239k 11256+0io 0pf+0w That's 182 vs. 215 seconds, or 15% elapsed time win for mmap. Evidently, mmap runs through that nasty nasty code faster than read runs through its. mmap loses on an idle system, I presume, because page-faulting is not smart enough to page-fault ahead as efficiently as read pre-reads ahead. Why am I complaining then? Because I want the nasty nasty code improved so that using mmap is beneficial for the single process too. Thank you very much!

Which I can't seen to find. You're OK so long as the current and peak figures are less than the max figure -- mbufs memory buffers are a fixed resource, out of which sufficient space to handle network traffic has to be allocated. If you have more traffic than the available space will cope with, then you can't handle all incoming packets, and things will slow right down. On the other hand, if you allocate a lot more space for network traffic, it is forever barred from being used for other purposes. However, for most general purpose systems, just taking the autosized defaults will give you plenty of space to handle incoming traffic without being excessive. You'ld really only have to look at modifying the number of mbufs allocated for a very high traffic server. This was taken on a system which has had minimal network traffic for several hours. How would I expect things to change as load increased? What are the warning signs the network is approaching saturation? Keep an eye on the mbuf stats if you're worried. So long as the in use numbers don't climb above, say, 80% of the maximum even over a traffic peak, you should be fine. But I doubt you'll see anything like that -- counters on my system show it uses about 2% of capacity.

The problems you were seeing are to do with the BIOS level stuff, which is really independent of what OS you're trying to boot up. At a guess you actually did something a bit differently during the install. For future reference, one thing that has changed over time is using 'packet' mode (BIOS Int 0x13 extensions) -- this provides an alternative to CHS (Cylinder Head Sector) addressing as used in older BIOSes. Packet mode is appropriate for large disks, and allows you to boot from cylinders higher than 1023. It's basically the norm on any recent system with large disk drives. Problem is you need a BIOS with specific support for packet mode or it just won't work, so the default has always been to assume 'nopacket'. It has been mooted that switching the default to packet mode is an idea whose time has come, but that change wasn't made between 4.x and 5.x.

I think obvious is a hindsight thing. The mind is really good at making bad assumptions. I was the on-site rep for a remote computer service center in Dallas. People would would have problems running computer programs because they would see what they thought they had typed and not what was in the data file. The INDEX you were cvsuping was an ancient one and that is why it pays to refuse ports/INDEX[-5]. Cvsup knows that the one you built isn't the one on the mirror and redownloads it. It takes several minutes to generate even from a mirror over a 100mps network. Then, you spend a lot more time generating the new one by running make index. It also explains why portsdb -Uu takes so freekin' long sometimes, which had been bugging me. Yes, it takes quite awhile to generate. That is also why people are suggesting that the refuse comments in the HANDBOOK be changed to reflect that by using those refuses you will affect the generation of a proper INDEX. There is also the problem with MASTER/SLAVE ports. A SLAVE port is one that depend on information from the MASTER. If you have refused the MASTER, you are continuing to use ancient data when you build the SLAVEs. Now, if you want to fetch a current INDEX[-5], you can run make fetchindex from /usr/ports. The problem is that the script occassionaly dies and what you get may not be current. You can tell by looking at the date on INDEX[-5]. If the script is working, the date will be less than an hour old. I generate all of my local ones on a test machine and it doesn't matter if I fetch or make the INDEX. I can make almost as fast as I can fetch. FreeBSD.org is a busy site and the transfer rate may not be that fast at times. I also back up and compress the old INDEX and keep about 5 previous days worth. Bz2 will compress a 5.5 MB INDEX file into 548 KB file. The port update is a cronjob and I had been without a working INDEX on those rare occasions when make index totally fails. The backup copies make that more difficutl to happen.

Those two come from the x11-server/XFree86-4-Server port, but there are *lots* of programs that install files under /usr/X11R6/lib - most programs that use X and install shared libraries put the libraries there, for example, so be prepared for more problems appearing. Ok, XFree86-4-Server it was. X started working after I reinstalled that one. Thanks. I guess problems will appear later on, but at least X is working right now and KDE don't seem to be broken. Hopefully after a few cvsup's I will be back were I started. Restoring from backups sounds like a good idea. The other possibility is to reinstall all programs you have. The latter sounds triesome. I remember how long time it took to compile OpenOffice and all of KDE, even om my 1200MHz machine. Yeah, those are well-known for taking forever to compile. I think you might be in luck with KDE since that seems to put its files under /usr/local (while GNOME programs tend to put their files under /usr/X11R6). I don't know where OpenOffice installs to. I will seriously look at the idea of wiping my labsystem and use that disk for backups instead. Backups are always a good idea. I really should start making backups myself. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Re: Questions about Hauppauge WinTV 350

I've been planning to get one for some time, but here in Australia the prices are ridiculous (more than double what they are nearly anywhere else). So I've decided to have one sent from overseas. Question: are all WinTV 350s the same? In Australia we have the same standards as in most of Europe (PAL, not NTSC), and the tuner frequencies are also the same as those in Europe. If I buy a card in the USA, will it work here, or are there two different kinds of card, depending on where they're sold? The web site is not of much help. To help me decide, it would be nice to hear from somebody with experience with the cards who can tell me a definite answer to at least one of these questions: * Are there separate versions for different countries? * Does the device you have support both PAL and NTSC? * Does the tuner on your device support both European and US frequencies? * What kind of antenna connector does your card have? US TVs tend to have a screw-on connector, while European one tend to have a push-on connector. Other information, in particular where I can get them cheap, would also be appreciated.

X via ssh to HP-UX problem
Hi, At work I have been using ssh for X connections between FreeBSD an linux machines without problems. Meanwhile X connections to a HP machine 'HP-UX hphendon B.10.20 A 9000/735' on the network have been established using classical 'rsh' with 'xhost' authentication because the HP-UX system did not have ssh installed. I recently installed openssh-3.7.1p2 on the HP and as a simple terminal connection this seems to work OK. But if I try to tunnel X through ssh I have problems -- the connection is rejected. From one of the FreeBSD machines (FBSD 4.9) issuing the command: $ ssh -v -X -f hphendon xterm yields debug information including the following lines:- debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 2 win 65536 max 16384 debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 1419 debug1: fd 4 setting TCP_NODELAY debug1: fd 4 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 1: new [x11] debug1: confirm x11 debug1: X11 connection uses different authentication protocol. X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. debug1: X11 rejected 1 i0/o0 I assume X11 connection uses different authentication protocol is at the core of the problem -- but what does it really mean? Is there a way around the problem? Must I go back to the classical insecure xhost approach? Yes, I did enable X11 in sshd_config on the HP. X on the HP is based on X consortium rather than XFree -- can this be significant? An X connection can be established in the other direction without problem. I would appreciate any thoughts on this matter.

Re: Problems with Remote Kernel Debugging on the 5.2.1 Kernel
It is serial debugging, as described in the Developer's Handbook. I have set up the same remote debugging environment in linux using gdb/ddd with success. Further, the Interrupt button in ddd is ^C, and in gdb ^C is what is used to break execution, at least in past experience in linux. How would I send a BREAK, and how would one setup ddd to use that instead of ^C? That should definitely be addressed in the developer's handbook if it is non-standard for FreeBSD. Thanks, Mark John E Hein wrote: Mark Teel wrote at 19:48 -0500 on Jun 22, 2004: I have configured remote kernel debugging as prescribed in the developer's handbook.

It is as if the Ctrl-C character is being ignored on the target. The target kernel was built with the ddb and -g options set, using config -g as well. Has anyone seen such a problem? This is the last hurdle before I can start debugging my wireless device driver. If you mean serial debugging, you use the serial BREAK, not ctrl-c.

Re: How many hosts can utilize one NAT server?
Minnesota Slinky said: I was wondering how many hosts can a single NAT server server? I couldn't find it on the net, although I know it's there somewhere. It really depends on a couple of things... First, the horsepower of the box. If you want 1-10 users, an old pentium 90 will do just fine (from my experience), however with hundreds of users, that just won't do. Second, it depends on what IP addressing scheme you have used. For instance, if you use 192.168.250.0/24, then that leaves you room for 253 clients. (.0 designates the network, .255 denotes the broadcast addr and 1 more IP is needed for the gateway itself). If you use 172.16.0.0/16, then you have room for ~65,000 clients. I don't know if FBSD and natd can scale that high (perhaps due to hardware limitations), but that's the theory. I've used a FBSD firewall against several thousands of users, however it was not running natd, just IPFW. It's a P2, 1.7Ghz with 1024M of memory. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Re: md5 of a filesystem / verifying filesystem integrity after
Hi all, Does someone know how to reliably run a checksum of sorts on a filesystem, to be able to verify filesystem integrity after a restore from dump level 0 has occurred? Unless you made a checksum of everything before doing the dump and made absolutely no changes, there is no way that I know of. Even some little things such as block arrangements being a little different after a restore - irrelevant to the integrity of the files - would make a checksum come out differently if the whole filesystem were checksummed. You can do an fsck(8) and see if there are any problems in file pointers.But, that is hardly worth bothering with since it is done at boot time anyway and it doesn't check the content of the files, only the pointers/chains. On some versions of dump either older or from other sources (vendors) dump had a verify flag that would read back everything and check it with what is on disk. I don't see it in FreeBSD's dump. Anyway, it was almost useless since the system would have to be down for the whole dump and the whole verify pass. Most people do dumps with the system up and running and in this case the files can change during the dump and verify times, thus making verify always fail. It is a rare system that can afford to be down long enough to do even a single user mode dump, let alone adding on the verify.So, it doesn't surprise me to see that option gone. jerry Thanks, Ruben ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you don't want to keep the application installed on the machine acting as the package repository, simply type make deinstall once the package has been created.

That should work fine. CVS has always used the same repository format
so version differences shouldn't matter.
As a real world example of what can be done with CVS repository files,
here's a story of mine from a few days ago.
While at work, I started working on a local version of a program, say
`foobar', whose version control files were stored in `$CVSROOT/foobar'.
Locally, at the machine where the CVSROOT lived, I made a lot of changes
to the files. The workstation I used runs Fedora Core/2. I saved a
tarball of all the files in `$CVSROOT/foobar' and copied it to a remote
machine that runs FreeBSD. Untarred the `foobar.tgz' tarball straight
into my new CVSROOT and checked it out like a charm :)
I know that this is not the right method of mirroring CVS repositories.
I'm the only person working on those files though and I only make
changes in one of the two CVS trees. The other one is used as an
anoncvs access server.
So, what you're describing *does* work.
The steps, I think, may be involve to accomplish this task are:
1. make identical user accounts on newhost as oldhost ones
2. announce to users and stop the cvs server on oldhost
3. on oldhost, backup the CVSROOT
4. on newhost, restore the CVSROOT
5. start the cvs server on newhost
6. point the users to start using newhost for checkin/checkout stuff
That seems fine. You can even insert a couple of rsync's among the
steps and let your users work uninterrupted while you're copying the
CVS tree. Then announce that they have to switch their CVSROOT.
If anyone has checked out files that he hasn't committed, they can use
this small script on any checked out tree to change it's CVS/Root files
to point to the new CVSROOT:
#!/bin/sh
newroot=$1
if [ X${newroot} = X ]; then
echo usage: cvsroot newroot 12
exit 1
fi
find . -type d -name CVS -print0 | \
xargs -0 -n 1 -I % echo '%' | \
sed -e 's:$:/Root:' |\
xargs sed -i '' -e 's!^.*$!'${newroot}'!'
The last command, which uses the -i option of sed(1) works on FreeBSD
but needs a bit of tinkering if you plan to use it with GNU sed(1) on
Linux.

Or, maybe its only written temporarily if someone is using imap via ssl (my mail server isn't active enough on imap-ssl to watch for that). It looks like maybe you have the File Access Monitor installed (/usr/ports/devel/fam)...

I'm new to using FreeBSD and when I boot up the computer (I've already installed FreeBSD) it asks for a login name and password. I don't know either and I haven't been able to get into FreeBSD. Please help me. During install, it prompts you to type in the super users password. Did you make a note of this? The superusers name in question is 'root' (w/o quotes). This user has God power over everything and is typically the only user on the system when an install is freshly done, unless other users have been added upon install. IIRC, the system will accept a null password at install time, so if you don't remember entering the su password, try logging in with username: root and no password.

Printing Broken in Mozilla Thunderbird?
Hello,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm using cups to handle my printing. I
have no trouble printing from other applications such as Firefox but
whenever I try to print an email from Thunderbird I get a warning box
that says, There was a problem printing because the paper size you
specified is not supported by your printer. I thought this was rather
odd, and upon further investigation I discovered that the printer prefs
from the prefs.js file were not being loaded by Thunderbird. I checked
the file and the entries are there:
borges[f5ihojke.slt 151]% grep print.printer_PostScript prefs.js
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_bgcolor, false);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_bgimages, false);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command, lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME});
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_evenpages, true);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_footercenter, );
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_footerleft, PT);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_footerright, D);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_headercenter, );
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_headerleft, T);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_headerright, U);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_in_color, true);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_margin_bottom, 0.5);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_margin_left, 0.5);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_margin_right, 0.5);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_margin_top, 0.5);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_oddpages, true);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_orientation, 0);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_paper_height, 11.00);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_paper_size_type, 1);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_paper_size_unit, 0);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_paper_width, 8.50);
user_pref(print.printer_PostScript/default.print_reversed, false);
but if I go to Properties in the box that comes up after hitting Print,
all the fields are completely BLANK (e.g. Paper Size, Margins, etc). I
know that printing used to work from this program so I really have no
clue what could have happened to bork printing from just this one
program. Out of curiosity, I renamed my .thunderbird folder and
restarted the program so as to get a fresh start and the same thing
happened. So, apparently, even with a clean slate, it still doesn't
load the printer prefs. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
I've searched on Google and the mailing lists to no avail.
Please cc me in any replies as I am not subscribed to this list. Thank you.

something through nat - something not
Hi everyone, I would appreciate if anyone can help with this: here is the configuration: box is connected to one (outside) network with 2 interfaces box is connected to one (inside) network with one interface some nodes on outside network do have static routes to inside network, but not whole outside net these nodes that do have routes to inside net pointing to this box use gif/ipsec tunnels to route packets to inside net (some kind of vpn) only subnets behind these few nodes could be routed directly to inside net what I want to do is to configure it to route packets to these chosen subnets directly - no nat, but I want to be able to see entire outside network from inside net also. So these packets should be passed to natd. I don't know which outside interface will be chosen because both outside interfaces are in dynamic routing backbone. any suggestion? thanks!

Re: login/password
Thanks that worked, But now I have another question, When it boots I enter my user name and password but all I get is a command prompt, how am I supposed to get into free bsd (or is that it?) Well, it doesn't look like much at the command prompt, but yes, that's it. The wonderful world of the power of BSD is now at your fingertips. If you are looking for a fancy GUI interface that can sit on top of the command prompt, start by reading the handbook...here is the section you want: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html If you are not familiar with unix basics, there are several books out there, and thousands of online tutorials. Google is your friend. I don't know your familiarity level, but the one most helpful command will be 'man'. the man command will allow you to view usage information on various commands. In essence typing something like: # man passwd will open the manual page for the passwd program. Most all commands have corresponding manual pages that can be accessed in this manner. For more information on the 'man' command, type: # man man Well, I hope this gives you a start. Note the entire handbook for FreeBSD can always be accessed from here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ and it is certainly worth a read, a second read, then as a reference manual.

Re: (no subject)
Well my experience lever is 0, I've used Windows and Mac for my whole life and I wanted to see what freebsd is like. Good. Theres quite a learning curve, but I assure you that diligence and the willingness to learn are worth the effort as the result is a whole new computing experience unlike anything the other OS's can provide (perhaps only IMHO). I just got into DOS, figuring out basic commands. FreeBSD, and most *NIX's share many of the same commands. Here are some equivilants to DOS commands: # cp (copy) # ls (dir) # cd # mv (move) # rm (del) # ifconfig (ipconfig) # netstat (route) # traceroute (tracert) # ping etc ad infinitum. However, most *NIX commands have several parameters you can feed into them, making them much more useful than you would be used to. Remember the man command. I suggest you search google for unix basic tutorial or similar to give you a head start. ...and in my last email, I mentioned the FreeBSD handbook, which will guide you on your way to getting a nice Windows-like GUI up and running. You have several options and can even switch between several graphical interfaces until you like one you find you like best. So is FreeBSD like a Unix/Linux version of DOS with different commands? Well...Unix was around lng before DOS was conceived. Looking at it, they do appear to be similar, but the depth and scope of DOS pales in comparison and is laughable against the limitless possibilities that the UNIX command line has to offer. There are different commands, but hundreds of thousands more as well. (Depending on installed software of course). In DOS, theres generally only one way to do something, where on UNIX, there are usually numerous approaches to performing a task. None of which are wrong, just different. Or does it have a graphical interface too? A GUI as I said can be installed. Consult the handbook and use google as per my last mail.

Re: something through nat - something not
On Jun 23, 2004, at 4:27 PM, Tomica Crnek wrote: box is connected to one (outside) network with 2 interfaces What does this mean? what I want to do is to configure it to route packets to these chosen subnets directly - no nat, but I want to be able to see entire outside network from inside net also. Standard IP-based routing will move packets from one subnet to another subnet, without using NAT. I'm not sure what you mean by able to see in this context, however: are you talking about being able to send IP traffic to them, are you talking about having them on the same physical subnet by bridging, and thus be able to ARP the hosts even though they are on two different logical networks, or what? So these packets should be passed to natd. I don't know which outside interface will be chosen because both outside interfaces are in dynamic routing backbone. Above you said no nat, here you ask about passing some traffic to natd. What are you trying to do? Do you want to use NAT or not? Your second comment about which outside interface will be chosen is also unclear. What dynamic routing is going on, and what does the topology look like? -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: portupgrade -c (was Re: Boot GUI / Boot data and process / Fragmentation)
Alright, I feel stupid but I'm going to ask anyway... Portversion exists in /usr/local/sbin on one FreeBSD 5.2.1 server, but not on the other, which is an install off the *same CD*. What package or port does portversion come from? Thanks -- portversion is part of usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade http://www.to2600.org http://www.toronto2600.org Because size *does* matter. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Redirection with a bridge ?
On Jun 22, 2004, at 9:02 AM, Matt Juszczak wrote: What are some of the other approaches (if you dont mind). I can't really do a NAT, I'd really like to stay with a bridge and not do any routing. Normally, something like squid listens on a specific port and only proxies requests which are explicitly sent to it. If you set up Squid on a dual-homed machine acting as a firewall, you can configure all clients to use it without them being able to route traffic outside of the firewall themselves. In that case, squid will talk to the outside world using the external interface, but talk to the clients using whatever local subnet IP addresses they have, without using NAT or anything else. A more complex approach would be to the network interface in promiscuous mode and use a divert socket to forward all normal web traffic (HTTP, 80/tcp) to the Squid proxy regardless. That has the advantage of not having to configure the clients to use a proxy, however. Anyway. I don't think setting this up is easier than using NAT, but perhaps you might find the concept useful -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mozilla, where did I go wrong?
I installed Mozilla 1.5 thur the ports package, on FreeBSD 5.2 When I run in it KDE It disotrts the KDE background image. THe toolbar color of the Mozilla browser is a dark maroon or purple, The background of the pages are a light purple. I ran portupgrade, and it said there was none. Did I miss a package, or what. I tried a make deinstall and then make reisntall, booting in between. Still got the problem Any idea's? Thanx everyone.

This is almost identical to exporting variables using the LExporter
module.
- Each NAME must be the Bname of a variable, typically with the leading
- type identifier included. A bareword is treated as a function name.
Examples of legal names are '$foo' for a scalar, '@foo' for an
array, '%foo' for a hash, 'foo' or 'foo' for a subroutine and '*foo'
