RE: 5 day lockup on Densitron

2005-05-10 Thread Richard J. Valenta

First off - thank you for both your replies...

The manufacturer (Densitron) has little info available, especially
technological info.  I'm going to continue to look for this, but do
either of you or anyone else have ideas on where to look for this?
Would it be called a 'watchdog' in the BIOS?  

Previous to this install there was a smaller hard disk and a Windows
2000 install.  However, there was no regular reboot or anything else I
knew of.  Of course, who knows if there's some kind of base Windows
'stroker' that I'm unaware of, or if there was something in place that
was part of the application it ran.

Anyway - ideas on where to look, and subsequently disable, this (if its
there)?

Thanks again,

Richard

 Watchdog timeouts are typically a fraction of a minute, a 5 day

 timeout is very unlikely.

  Watchdogs are normally designed to be initialized at boot by the
software, and as FreeBSD doesn't know about it...

  It's a long-shot, but less so than overheating always happening to
build up and cause a reset randomly at exactly the same 5 day period of
time as somebody suggested.

 Hi
 OK I have installed the font server etc -- all I need are some

 1.where can I get them.
 2. How I can convert my TT fonts on my ms$  system to TT for freebsd.

1. Have a look in /usr/ports/x11-fonts 

webfonts and xorgfonts-truetype  should get you started



2. It's all there in section 5.5 of the Handbook, which may well be on

Re: ports backup corrupted windows - addendum

2005-05-10 Thread Graham North

Discovered that ports Japanese has a port called prn - this is a 
privileged name in Windows - of course when I tried to blow away the 
whole ports backup it choked up and left a 97MB file hanging.
I will try to find out how to deal with privileged file deletion in 
Windows via other forums (using command prompt del doesn't work).

Cheers,  Graham/

Today, I decided to blow it away - but it won't go!  It  moved from C: 
drive to the recycle bin, and most got emptied out however some 
(97.2MB) is sticking.No matter that I try to empty recycle bin 
it gives me a message cannot remove folder prn:  The parameter is

Everyting else in the bin was emptied but now the recycle bin seems 
broken when I try to delete other files - it is really weird.   Could 
some set of Unix file permissions have thrown the Windows box for a loop?
Any ideas will be appreciated.

I'd second this recommendation.  Tanenbaum's a good author...

Yes very much so. At a local college they have over 700 PCs surfing the
net constintly through a P3 700Mhz 512MB Ram and 10Gb HDD. The machine
is running FreeBSD 4.5, squid, squidGuard, ipfw, natd. Transparent
content filtering and nat. Simple sweet and fast...
 
 
 I use FreeBSD 5 STABLE as a Router with IPFW, DUMMYNET, Squid,
 DansGuardian and Bind as a forwarding DNS cache for 100 users. All
 this is running on an old PIII 500Mhz with 128MB ram and 20GB HDD. 100
 users may not be much but I guess with more RAM The FreeBSD box well
 handle more clients.
 I only use the BOX to test FreeBSD 5 performance for future plans and
 so far it rocks except for a few problems (sure thats what STABLE is
 for).
 
 Ed, can you please tell me more about Transparent content filtering.
 Sounds intresting
 

Ooo yea, this is a good one taught to me by guru master BB of the black
hills. Ok all web requests are on port 80 right? I am going to use
psuedo commands to try and get this accross.
#from natbox
1 allow all traffic on port 80 from localhost out
2 forward all incoming port 80 requests to 8080 or what ever port you
run squid on.

3. squidguard or dansguardian server as the content filering.

No one can opt out of having there web access content filtered by not
using the caching system. They have to use the caching system.

error 16

2005-05-10 Thread Ben Haysom

Hi

I have an AMD Duron 700Mhz running FreeBSD 5.3.

When power up I get

error 16 lba 287
error 16 lba 287
No /boot/loader

fdisk from the installation CD finds the harddrive as normal.

A friend found the following for me

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-March/081879.html

Seems to be the same, but the commands that person entered don't work for me..

I couldn't find anything searching on the full error.

Any ideas, or shall I just do a complete reinstall? The machine isn't
vital so that is plausible.

Ben Haysom.

RE: ports backup corrupted windows

2005-05-10 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt


PRN: is a device under Windows, specifically the first printer port.

How did you create this file?  If you attempted to create it in Windows,
the operating system would have rejected it.  What you will have to do
is mount the DOS partition under UNIX and access it from the UNIX side
directly.

Thanks for your patience and for reading this.

You'll find the info here.  I believe the bootonly ISO mentioned there 
no longer exists, but other than that...

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html
Some more advice.  1) Read the rest of the handbook  2) Put a better 
subject line on your questions.  We need to know what your question is 
about.  e.g. ISO images.

^^^ Make sure Mozilla is deinstalled properly before you try to install
it again.

but i removed it properly, it just puts it back every time i try to
install mozilla.

If mozilla was deinstalled correctly then the duplicate files in
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/./components/ would not be there. You haven't said what you actually did to uninstall mozilla,
but I saw no mention of make deinstall or pkg_delete or portupgrade -f. What does
pkg_info -I mozilla\* show?
I don't know portmanager, but neither make clean nor cvsup have anything to do
with deinstalling ports.
I've installed and deinstalled mozilla about five times in the last few weeks
trying out various patches, and I know that correct deinstallation will remove
the files that cpio is complaining about. The files are not gone on your
machine, ergo mozilla was not deinstalled correctly. Why that happened, there
is just too little information to say.
--Alex

wel i removed mozilla with a bit of pkg-delete forcing :) anyway why
doesnt the make file overwrite it ? And why cant it tell me this
before the realy realy long building process? It drives me nuts too
know mozilla works but wont register it every time i try.
FX-53R find / -name mozilla
/usr/ports/www/mozilla
FX-53R

See no mozilla anywhere

And what did you do between the error message listed above and the find
command you're now showing us? Because something has clearly changed,
or you're running find on the wrong machine.

What happens now when you try to install mozilla?
