Most BIOSes will let you control individual devices, so set whatever it is to PIO4; otherwise, disable UDMA for everything long enough to complete the install, and then tweak things from there. Hello Chuck, it is right, if you say that BIOSes provide switching between PIO0 to PIO4, but there is no way to control UDMA in a BIOS. Anyway, it doesn't matter, because every Operating System (without DOS) is taking control after the bootstrap over the hardware and even FreeBSD.

Strange prompt behavior in tcsh

can I reinstall make?
I think the 'make' program on one of my machines (running FreeBSD 4.10) has gotten farkled. I made the mistake of running 'portupgrade -a' and now the whole system is a mess -- among other things it uninstalled my 'perl 5.8.5'. Actually, it uninstalled a lot of things and then quit on an error without reinstalling them. Luckily none of the things are things I use every day. When I ran 'portversion -c needs.update' it told me I needed to upgrade both 'autoconf' and 'automake', so I switched to /usr/ports and ran: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports# make search name=autoconf Missing }.

Running Mozilla FireBird 6.1.6 Under Linux Emulation On FreeBSD 4.10
Hello Questions, I wanted to run Mozilla FireBird 6.1.6 under Linux emulation so that I could use the Flash plugin. I installed linux_base-6.1_6 from the 4-stable packages directory and downloaded FireBird. But FireBird required a later version of Linux emulation (7.???) that I could only find in the 5-stable directory. Will Linux emulation be updated for FreeBSD 4-stable? I assume I can't install the latest version since it's apparently for 5.0 and later. I tried the Gnu version of Flash (`libflash-0.4_10') and the appropriate mozilla-flash plugin but it doesn't seem to work.

FreeBSD pcm(4) latency (From write() to audible output)
Moved from freebsd-chat: Quick addition: Had a look through the questions archive, nothing jumped out and answered this, but it's possible I missed something. Good Morning, I'm currently in the middle of writing an automated radio playout system for a northern student radio station in the UK (post SBN liquidation). I have the requirement of it running on a *nix system. I'm a large BSD advocate between our friends, so would prefer not to use Linux. The system design consists of a daemon for each soundcard used in the studio. I'm currently in the process of writing this daemon. I've found that there is about a 800ms delay between the output data being written to /dev/dsp and being able to hear the output from the soundcard on FreeBSD. I'm working to a 200ms deadline. I'm opening the soundcard with: audio_fd = open((char *) device, O_WRONLY | O_FSYNC | O_DIRECT); I've used O_DIRECT and O_FSYNC to try and get rid of this delay, but alas that didn't work, device is cast as it's coming from a void * (thanks to pthread_create ;). The daemon outputs blocks of 0 when there is no actual audio to output so the sound card is always fed. While this isn't a problem for mpg123, it is for this application. I've tried to find where the delay is, however I haven't had any luck. Could anyone knowledgable let me know if there's any hope for getting rid of it (hacking the kernel is fine ;) or if I should give up and go to linux? I suppose Linux does have ALSA which claims 2.6ms latency but I was hoping to just use OSS. Oh well. For reference the test machine is a 2.2Ghz machine with a AC97 chip (yeah crap I know, studio playout machines will probably have a Creative card) running 4.10-STABLE (Yeasturday's cvsup).

One very good reason to keep these separate is that you might be mounting
/usr/{local,X11R6} on many machines from a shared NFS drive. By keeping the
shared configuration on the shared drive you don't have to replicate it on
every machine, and /etc just contains machine-specific configuration.

Freebsd 4.10 release(do you know any browser with flash support???)
Hi, I'm using quanta to develop html applications with embedded .swf in it. What I want to do is to see its preview in a browser while I'm doing the programming in quanta. The problem is.. I don't know if there's any browser that supports it. The konqueror flash plugin instruction in freebsd.kde.org requires specific version of freebsd(5.1,4.9 stable). My problem is, I'm using freebsd 4.10 release. I tried that instruction, but it didn't worked(of course after successfully installing flashplugin. Do you have any brighter idea instead of just doing the whole html programming in Windows and avoid having problems with flash animations? Because I'm just a begginer html programmer and I find kde's quanta, so helpful specially in automatically displaying possible attributes of an element. Any browser? In freebsd 4.10???

but that's not my decision :)
One very good reason to keep these separate is that you might be mounting
/usr/{local,X11R6} on many machines from a shared NFS drive. By keeping the
shared configuration on the shared drive you don't have to replicate it on
every machine, and /etc just contains machine-specific configuration.
But most of what's in /usr/local/etc is machine-specific. Personally,
on the next rebuild I intend to make /usr/local/etc a symbolic link to
/etc/local. (Then again, I plan to use /opt for third-party applications
and /usr/local only for locally-developed applications. /opt/etc will be
a symbolic link to /etc/opt as well.)
Note that I'm using a symbolic link; this is because /etc is on the
root filesystem while /usr and /opt will be separate filesystems.

Re: FreeBSD pcm(4) latency (From write() to audible output)
Heya Dan, I've found that there is about a 800ms delay between the output data being written to /dev/dsp and being able to hear the output from the soundcard on FreeBSD. I'm working to a 200ms deadline. What's your write size? At 44100khz*2 channels, a 65k write would take around 800 ms to play. Try writing smaller chunks, or maybe raise hw.snd.targetirqrate. Don't I feel like a dunce right now. I forgot the cardinal rule of reproducing my results with other software. I tried the same file with XMMS and it played instantly. My problem was primarly due to the fragment sizes of buffers. I don't know what sizes are set as default but they're to big for my applpications. I've found with: val = (2 16) | 9; ioctl(audio_fd, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT, val); It kills the delay to next to nothing. As far as I understand this, and it's not well, the above means use a maximum of 2 fragments and each fragment should be 2^9 large (ie 512 bytes long). Which I figure to be 1204 bytes total for buffer (or 5ms). It still doesn't happen that quickly for me, but what I'd imagin is delaying it now (and is my problem) is the write() I'm doing. As I'm writing 20ms of Audio out at any time, so I'm waiting for that to complete. Thanks for the suggestion Dan, helped a lot. Andreas, this will be your problem to for your guitar problem, try using the above code (add error checks, it can fail on some hardware (statically set fragments)). I also managed to find the guide to OSS at http://www.opensound.com/pguide/oss.pdf, I shall be looking there before asking here again, don't worry.

Check make.conf to see if it is updated, it wasn't for me so I changed it by hand. $perl -v should id itself as the right version. You must also rebuild every port that depends on perl. There is a 3 line portupgrade command in UPDATING that I could not get to work so I upgraded them all. That takes a while with over 200 ports. I never *know* what I'm doing. The seat of my pants have wings :-) I did just recently update to perl 5.8.5 (via portupgrade). I have since done a make deinstall, make clean, and make reinstall on it as well. It should be in the updates. I think there's a make or conf file calling for that condition to be checked as a dependency. It seems to work properly with that link, once it got by the check stage of the make. I didn't like that workaround either, but making all those ports via deinstall/clean/install still wasn't fixing the error. :-/ The second problem is that this server, due to following instructions from the software installed on it, had some bsdpan modules installed on it that are screwing with the port database (missing origins, etc.) and I'm trying to gauge whether I can install all the p5 modules instead of bsdpan modules to replace them and if so how to remove the bsdpan modules without interfering with the ports version. so far when I slam into an error I've been able to go into the ports tree and uninstall then clean then install and that seems to clear it up (and hopefully get the ports database into a consistent state). *sigh* This is experience, it's a good thing...this is experience, it's a good thing... -Bart ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

linux_base compatibility issue?
Greetings list, Recently, Valve released a dedicated server for Counter-Strike Source, coming in windows and linux varieties. Since my clan has been playing the older CS dedicated server on a FreeBSD 4.9 box for a while, I wanted to see if the new one would work. I installed it on my test machine, and got this error when in debug mode: ][ryallsd] ~/cssource # ./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust -console -debug Enabling debug mode Auto-restarting the server on crash Illegal instruction (core dumped) cat: hlds.58456.pid: No such file or directory Deprecated bfd_read called at /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdb/../../../../contrib/gdb/gdb/dwarf2read.c line 3049 in dwarf2_read_section Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader. /lib/libm.so.6: No such file or directory. email debug.log to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 13 08:46:28 PDT 2004: Server restart in 10 seconds ^CFri Aug 13 08:46:29 PDT 2004: Server Quit I copied the directory tree over to a 5.x box, and the dedicated server was able to run just fine.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters

You might want to give dovecot a try on the server side. It's really rather good. As for IMAP clients: if you've got a spare PHP enabled webserver anywhere, squirrelmail is pretty simple to set up. IMAP is pretty tricky that way: all of the different clients and servers implement only approximately the same protocol and getting everything to agree on a compatible set of quirks can be a bore.

OT: Dead hard drive
Greetings list! Sorry for the OT post, but this is about the only place I know where people may have an answer to my problem. See, I have a hard drive that refuses to be detected by the BIOS. It was working fine and then one day: power down - power up - *poof* the harddrive is gone from the BIOS POST. I've tried exchanging IDE cables, putting it on a different controller, even a different PC, but it will not be detected. I can hear it spin up all right, so I know it's not its power unit. The disk had shown no signs of being about to bail (even though it is a couple of years old). There's nothing vital stored on it, although I would like to salvage what I can. Has anyone got any clue as to what may have happened, and how one can go about accessing the drive?

Re: Monitor Disk Usage (Unusual Load Avgs)
Steve, There's the obligatory 'ps -ax' to see what's running. You can also run 'top' to get a constantly updated display of processes. Some other stuff you may want to look around with is 'systat' . Just running the command doesn't show a whole lot but with various options and such you can pull some useful info, check the man page. Something else is 'lsof' which lists open files and such, can help you get an idea of what's open and running. You can also run 'man -k stat' and find lots of other goodies. To find out what DMA mode is running, check your dmesg. 'dmesg | grep DMA' While I can't provide a specific answer to your questions I've pointed out some things that may help you find what you're looking for.

I have set-up the FreeBSD box with a fixed IP of 192.168.1.50 subnet 255.255.255.0, and configured the router to place the server in the DMZ, i.e. direct all incoming traffic to it. My question is should I setup the FBSD machine to recognize the fixed internet IP address allocated to us by the ISP as an Alias on the interface card? Everything seems to work fine even I don't do this. Thanks for any advice.

Re: OT: Dead hard drive
it was said: It was working fine and then one day: power down - power up - *poof* the harddrive is gone from the BIOS POST. I've tried exchanging IDE cables, putting it on a different controller, even a different PC, but it will not be detected. I can hear it spin up all right, so I know it's not its power unit. The disk had shown no signs of being about to bail (even though it is a couple of years old). There's nothing vital stored on it, although I would like to salvage what I can. Has anyone got any clue as to what may have happened, and how one can go about accessing the drive? Thanks in advance! -Henrik W Lund Hello, This is a classic symptom of an IDE drive's onboard controller going bad. You have two solutions. The first is to change out the controller with one from an identical drive and then run a surface scan using either the manufacturer's diagnostic tool or another tool capable of remapping the drive's bad sectors. This is because the new controller will have the other drive's map. Don't forget to redo the map on the other drive when you replace the controller. I did this two weeks ago for a client. The second solution involves a cleanroom and lots of money. HTH, Stheg __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Best way to keep large ports uptodate
Hello everyone, I'm a recent convert from debian based systems. I must say that I am very happy with freebsd so far. Currently I've been using portupgrade to keep all my ports current, and it works great. With very large ports such as KDE/base/libs/etc it takes several hours to compile on my little 600MHz laptop. Is there a way to keep the previously compiled objects around so when I upgrade the next time only the changes have to be recompiled? Or am I better off just waiting until major updates and doing a clean compile then? Also, top isn't showing any percentages as far as user, cpu, nice etc. I remember reading that it is usually caused by world/kernel not being compiled and installed together. However I did just that...rebuilt world, kernel and installed per the handbook. This is with 4.10p2. Only thing I can think of is that I have CPUTYPE as I686 in my custom kernel and as p3 in /etc/make.conf. Should I try changing /etc/make.conf to I686? The computer is a 600MHz p3. -Rob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Do I need to setup an IP Alias
We have a ADSL internet connection served through a Linksys router setup as the primary gateway on IP 92.168.1.1. Our ISP has allocated a non-filtered fixed IP address to us. I have set-up the FreeBSD box with a fixed IP of 192.168.1.50 subnet 255.255.255.0, and configured the router to place the server in the DMZ, i.e. direct all incoming traffic to it. My question is should I setup the FBSD machine to recognize the fixed internet IP address allocated to us by the ISP as an Alias on the interface card? Everything seems to work fine even I don't do this. Hello, Did they allocate more than one? I mean, one to be the oif of the Linksys and another one that you can assign as an alias on the FBSD box? If so, you _can_. But that should only be neccesary if you need to access the box from the internal network via the external network. On the other hand, you don't even need to put the server in the DMZ. The Linksys should let you do port forwarding for just the port(s) you actually need exposed. The more layers between your server and the Internet, the better. HTH, Stheg __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Laptop overheating problem.
Hi, So my laptop was working just fine but after a whole day of usage everything slowed down, my physical memory was 89% full, and the openoffice did not want to start at all.As soon as it happend I knew the problem is I did not hear the cooling fan. After shutdown about a hour I turned back on and everything was working again very fast.I hope I didn't brake anything! Here are the spec about the laptop:: Toshiba Satellit A15-S157, 2.2ghz proc, 512mb ram. I installed FreeBSD 4.10 on it, adn I use KDE desktop. Is there any built in or third party program I can install to turn on the cooling fan when is necessary?? Or do I need to make some change in my installation?? Thank you soo much for all the answers.

Re: updating issues
well I was thinking either I do binary updates or recompile updates. My first question started off with can I get security fixes with out recompiling?. I knew about upgrade in sysinstall, but the word was that gets the release specified, not necessarily security fixes. So then I thought you have to recompile to get updates. But freebsd-update was then introduced to me. But It complained since we had to recompile the src for the release (5.1) to get certain features in the kernel. So I am still stuck with the question can I get security fixes with out recompiling?. R.

Check make.conf to see if it is updated, it wasn't for me so I changed it by hand. $perl -v should id itself as the right version. You must also rebuild every port that depends on perl.
