FreeBSD is an operating system, Linux is a distribution. The Alpha release is for the DEC I mean Compaq I mean HP Alpha CPU. This CPU was, and still is, one of the best CPUs ever made. Unfortunately Carly (was CEO of HP), the bitch, killed it off when HP bought out Compaq. AMD bought some of the rights to the Alpha, there current chips have some Alpha blood inside them. AMD, VIA C3, and Intel Chips are all x86. The current x86 chips operate in 32-bit protected mode, the first Intel CPU that had this feature was the 80386, hence the i386. Because of the high degree of compatibility, the range of processors compatible with the 80386 is often collectively termed the i386 architecture; the instruction set for the architecture is now known as IA-32 or, informally, i386. -Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/i386 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cpu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CISC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD 5.4 X Org Fluebox Keyboard dont respond?
Hy, I can confirm your problem for FreeBSD 5.4 amd64-RC3 and I got the same problem with a Linux 2.6.8 on an ASUS-Laptop. Unfortunately I've no good solution but I'm fairly sure that the problem is related to the X.org and not the OS. I think there's something wrong in the communication between the keyboard driver of the OS and the X server and (on my machines) it always apeared only when booting directly into X running xdm from inittab or /etc/rc.d. I figured out that booting to command line and then starting X manually (by typing xdm on a root shell) will not cause the problem. Regards, bh On Sunday 12 June 2005 11:24, perikillo wrote: Hi all.

attaching an usb mp3-player to a device
Hi
I'm trying to attach a mp3-player (usb) to /dev/mp3player but usbd wont play
ball. The mp3-player gets attached to /dev/da0.
This is what I've done.
# usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x),
VIA(0x), rev 1.00
port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, MP3 PLAYER(0x0301),
ICSI(0x0dda), rev 2.1c
port 2 powered
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x),
VIA(0x), rev 1.00
port 1 powered
port 2 powered
editing /etc/usbd.conf and inserting:
#MP3 Player
device MP3 Player
devname da[0-9]+
product 0x0301
attach rm -f /dev/mp3player; chmod 666 /dev/${DEVNAME}; ln
-s /dev/${DEVNAME} /dev/mp3player
detach rm -f /dev/mp3player
before the bottomline:
device USB device
detaching the mp3player, run:
#/etc/rc.d/usbd restart
Attach the mp3player again and it only gets attached to /dev/da0
What am I doing wrong?

I have experienced this recently on a Linux box (usually stupid two partition scheme of / and /boot) where valuable data was lost when a disk filled. Had stuff been partitioned better, no valuable data need have been lost. 2) If you have one partition then you are forced to use the same backup scheme for everything. I don't much care about backing up /, /usr, /var or even /usr/local because almost everything on those partitions is re-created pretty easily just by re-installing. Any machine sensitive data can have master copies on e.g. /home which I can back up daily. 3) Disk drive capacities have grown much faster than tape drive capacities.

Hmm, I am pretty sure you still need to re-compile IPFW etc. After a bit of a panic, and a dig around, I found that things have changed, and the compiled ipfw file is now located in: /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw this can then be copied to /sbin/ipfw same for the libalias.so.4 file. Whew! I don't think it was it was like this in 4.10. Must be a 4.11 thing.

MAC address rc.conf
Hi, My ISP have aauthorization by username, password AND mac address. I currently make PPPoE connection from my laptop(win XP) to them. However I want to put FreeBSD router in front of my laptop. That is why I will need to make MAC address of outgoing ethernet card same as my laptop. I plan to make bash script(ifconfig down, ifconfig up) for that purpose. However I prefer a little bit cleaner solution ... is there any way I can set MAC address for the network card in rc.conf ?

Re: NFS on 5.4
Aha, ok, thanks... (31 Oct 2004) The results of netstat -m can become incorrect on SMP systems when debug.mpsafenet is set to 1 (default). This is an error in the statistics gathering because of a race condition in the counters, not an actual memory leak. I'll put kernel into debug and see, as Max suggested.

Re: Very Dissapointed
thanks for your TROL, TROLL, TROLL, reply Keep in mind that i started using a computer with dos 3.3 on it and have used Micro$oft's products since i started using computers. I know jack shit about Unix/Linux. All I know is that it is good. But trying to use it seem to be more hassle then anything else. I really would like to have used FreeBSD, it seems to be much faster then any MS product and more stable but since it would take me forever to learn i might as well stick to micro$oft. And plus every time i seek help i get people like you. So How am i supposed to learn? This is a questions list. You didn't ask any question. You post was nothing but a meaningless rag on. That is the key identifying characteristic of a troll. If you want help, then ask for it. Someone might actually reply as has happened thousands of times in the past for people, including newbies, who are interested in learning the system and getting things working. But, if your only interest is blathering about how you would prefer to use Microsloth, then go do it and leave us alone! People here are committed to real use and improvement of FreeBSD and not trash talk (although some seem to enjoy the latter as well). That belongs on the advocacy list - post there and just see what they will do with it. Thank anyway for replying. You are welcome.

Drivers Hardware
Hello guys, Just wondering, my name is Juan, if this operating system installs modem, video, and sound card drivers automatically? Such as my 56k modem isa card, ect. Which linux or unix free os is best for installing drivers automatically, wheter they are called drivers or not. I've heard of so many os'es based on linux. Specially on EBAY. PROTOSOFT, UBISO, DEBIAR, FREEBSD, and the list goes on and on. I just need an os that i install and the drivers are up and running. Specially the modem cards. Windows XP detects all this automatically. Also is there a website where u can get all the drivers for linux? Such as www.driverguide.com ? Other websites for linux drivers? Or a website to compare linux oses. I just wanna know which linux os installs the pci, isa cards automatically like my sound, video, modem, ect. I bought LINSPIRE and it installed everything except modem, tried over 3 modems and NOTHING. Anyhow I hope I can get help from u knowledgeable guys. Juan. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: system cloning
I have a system that we are running in production that there was an oversight on, and it has a single hard drive installed (32GB SCSI I believe), rather than a 3 drive raid5 array. We would like to correct this, but we have all sorts of up-to-date packages and config files that we've tweaked that we would hate to just start over on it. There's a tool for OSX called Carbon Copy Cloner that would take care of this for me, which is basically a series of copy commands that takes the filesystem from one drive to another, preserving EVERYTHING important, and then bless the boot volume. If you want two more identical drives then use dump, not tar, but you'd have to have them sliced/partitioned up the same beforehand and it wouldn't do bootblocks. You would? Why? restore doesn't care where you're restoring to... you'd just need to make sure you were in / before restoring and then tweak /etc/fstab to suit... right? -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Makefile question
Hello,
I'm trying to make a new port, but the software I'm porting has an
awkward configure script, and when I run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
then every file goes to directly to /usr/local not to /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/etc, ...
Thus I would like to install it into /usr/local/appname.
I wrote to my Makefile:
GNU_CONFIGURE= YES
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --prefix=${PREFIX}/appname
But the situation is the same. Everything goes directly to /usr/local,
as if I wrote just --prefix=${PREFIX}.
What can I do now?
Cheers,
Gábor Kövesdán

You misunderstood what I want. As I mentioned the configure script is awkward and I can't specify --bindir, --libdir, everything goes to the specified --prefix.

There's a tool for OSX called Carbon Copy Cloner that would take care of this for me, which is basically a series of copy commands that takes the filesystem from one drive to another, preserving EVERYTHING important, and then bless the boot volume. If you want two more identical drives then use dump, not tar, but you'd have to have them sliced/partitioned up the same beforehand and it wouldn't do bootblocks. You would? Why? restore doesn't care where you're restoring to... you'd just need to make sure you were in / before restoring and then tweak /etc/fstab to suit... I understood the question to be how to create two identical *disks* not two identical directory trees. So unless the disks were partitioned and sliced the same before you used dump/restore then you wouldn't end up with identical disks.

Card for Xorg dual-head Xinerama? (Matrox G450 problems)
I'm running FreeBSD-5.4 from cvsup and having some Xorg problems with Xinerama on my Matrox G450 dual-head card. While Xinerama works fine for local X11 apps, an app started on a remote machine displaying back to my box fills the fvwm frame with nothing -- except whatever bitmap was already there. Moving the window moves the image of the bitmap around. Killing the app leaves the fvwm frame; I have to kill the frame in fvwm to make it go away. If I turn off Xinerama, everything works fine, but obviously I don't have Xinerama. Any suggestions for a good dual-head card which works well with Xorg and Xinerama? I've got two 21 CRTs so don't have DVI input. I don't game so I don't need that kind of speed. I'd prefer something quiet, that doesn't require a fan to prevent it from melting. I'd like to keep it inexpensive. Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The dark secret in OpenBSD and NetBSD here is that they always pick the same one. You think you're load balancing by putting two interfaces in there, but the general truth is that you're just pouring electrons into unused hardware unless you've carefully configured the system to make use of both interfaces. --8 i'd like to configure one ip for the mail and other one for the dns, to have Alias sound good but the machine has 2 nics already and i dont want to have unused hardware. i know that i cannot have them both in the same subnet without modifying the routing, but im confussed about it. i also tried after settin' one of the ips, deleting the routing bash-2.05b# route delete aa.bb.cc.0 and then setting the ip bash-2.05b# ifconfig em0 aa.bb.dd.1 netmask 255.255.255. ok i can now set the 2 ips in the same subnet but my DNS stops working, i dont want to change the submask, for any of my ips As far as I know you cannt have 2 interfaces on the same subnet full stop on freebsd, and to be fair I cant see what advantage it would give you if you could. so it wont give any advantage just having one nic for each one (the NS and the mail server)?

Isn't it ironic how lead can hurt and help you, I'm referring to lead poisoning. A point of note is that the third party shells packaged with Linux (such as bash or zsh) are the same third party tools packaged with FreeBSD. bash and zsh are not include in the base install. They are in the ports system, mainly because they are 3rd party shells. I would be inclined to say FreeBSD actually uses a higher percentage of third party configuration tools than RedHat or SuSE, who tend to write their own in order to be more user friendly. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't know of many instances where FreeBSD provides custom (graphical) configuration utilities. FreeBSD doesn't do GUI config. FreeBSD is primarily a cross platform server OS, not a desktop. Implementing a cross platform GUI install thingy is more trouble then it is worth because most servers don't even have a monitor. Try getting that GUI to work over a serial port. sysinstall is the only (that I know of) config program that FreeBSD is released with so I don't know what other config programs you are referring to.

install freebsd with usb keyboard
Hi, there: I have been trying to install FreeBSD with a usb keyboard (I have tried 3 keyboards so far), but no success. It seems that it can recognize the device correctly (because it prints out the device names precisely when bringing up the usbs), but it freezes right after the sysinstall menu comes out. The ps2 plug is broken, so I dont have any other choice. I have searched the google and mail list. One suggestion was to change the BIOS setting WRT the legacy usb option. The other is to set hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 while booting. But the problem is that the keyboard doesn't work so that I cannot type anything or enter the BIOS. Is there anything I can do except hammering my box? thanks in advance, --ken ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can't make X tunnelling via SSH work, probably loosing my mind....
I just noticed that I couldn't ssh -X from a machine into a fully configured jail on the same machine and have an X app display back on the desktop. I think that this used to work, but I can't swear to it. I've been playing around, and now have pretty much everything on the machine stripped down. No jails, no ipfw, no interface aliases. It's running 5.4-STABLE as of a few days ago, and everything is compiled from ports and should be up to date. The video cards a matrox 550 and I'm running with mga_drv.o and mga_hal_drv.o from the mgadriver-4.1 tarball from the matrox site. It's dual headed w/ a pair of NEC Multisync LCD1850X's on a dual-headed DVI cable. It turns out that I can't ssh -X from that machine into any other machine and have it work. I can, however, ssh -X from another machine (e.g. 5.3BETA4 laptop) into it and display onto the laptop. In particular, it can't even ssh -X into itself and display an X app. There's some information at http://grapeape.alerce.com/screwball including netstat and /etc/rc.conf and an ssh -v -v -X session. If I ssh -X into itself and run xeyes, it just sits there. If I do a tcpdump -i lo0 from another window, there's a flood of traffic back and forth between the .ssh port and a variety of ports including .x11-ssh, one at 6011 [I think that the DISPLAY as localhost:11 that time around], and a bunch of other randomish. I've tried it with X11UseLocalhost on and off. At this point my eyes are crossed and I can't even figure out what to try next. And, I'm not feeling particularl bright, I'm sure it's going to turn out to be something obvious Anyone have any thoughts? g. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have to mount linprocfs before doing the install (and you should edit /etc/fstab to mount linprocfs on boot) and cp /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-yourversion to /etc/libmap.conf.

The combination of logitech keyboard with 5.2.1does highlight the keymap option in sysinstall menu, but that is how far it goes. The keyboard stops working so that I cannot press space, tab or enter.
