That looks like whatever filesystem gzip was writing to couldn't handle files over 2gb. You mentioned writing to a remote filesystem using amd, but it defaults to NFSv3. Were you maybe writing to a FAT fs on the remote end? You can also see whether amd actually mounted the remote fs with NFSv2 by uncommenting the /var/log/all.log line in /etc/syslog.con, touching /var/log/all.log, and restarting syslog. Then have amd remount the remote system and check the log. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Xvnc + inetd
I'm trying to turn FreeBSD5.4 into a 'terminal server' of sorts, allowing users to VNC in to access various network related utilities. What I'm seeing is a gray screen when connecting into vnc, which I know is indicative of not having a window manager set up. My question is when running xvnc through inetd, I can specify which user to run it as. I've tried using root and nobody, as well as a 'vnc' user which I created. In all cases it seems not to read the ~/.vnc/xstartup file as I expect it would (e.g. /root/.xvnc/xstartup). I've followed various guides to ensure settings are correct but now I'm stumped.

RE: Intel SE7320VP2 board + Marvell 88E8050 nic.
The 88E8050 is a PCI Express nic, the Marvel chip that Dmitry listed the 88E8001, is a regular PCI chip. Here are the spec sheets on these: http://www.marvell.com/products/pcconn/yukon/88E8050-001.pdf http://www.marvell.com/products/pcconn/yukon/Yukon_88E8001_10_073103_fina l.pdf Other than that, they are both Marvel Yukon chips so it might be possible that they are the same chips, just different pci busses that they interface to. The SE7320VP2 motherboard uses the E7320 chipset (Lindenhurst) Support for the memory-mapped PCI Express configuration mechanism was added to FreeBSD 5 in December 2004 for only the Grantsdale and Lindenhurst chipsets. You can see the complete comment for this here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/pci/pci_cfgreg.c This first showed up in the FreeBSD 5.4 release. The first problem is that the sk0 driver most likely does not have the pci chip ID in it for the onboard Marvel 88E8050. It might be possible to get this with pciconf and add it to the if_sk code in usr/src/sys/pci to get the driver to attach. If your really lucky then the sk driver will be able to set it up. If your not as lucky then the driver might need to use the configuration mechanism to setup the hardware, in which case you probably can e-mail Scott Long for some patches. If your really unlucky then the 2 chipsets are way too different and you would need to write in support to the sk device driver. Do you have 5.4 running on this motherboard at the current time?

VNC multiplexer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi, all. Slightly off-topic here, but I thought I might get a better (and more relevant) response from here rather than a more general VNC list/newsgroup. I've got a client that would like to be able to connect to VNC servers behind a FreeBSD gateway. Said servers are assigned dynamic IPs via DHCP, so port mapping (via pf) is not an option (AFAIK). However, we intend to make use of dynamic DNS, so they will at least have hostnames. One solution we've considered is setting up a multiplexer of sorts that would enable users of VNC client apps to pick and choose which machine to connect to inside the LAN per session, but I'm curious to know if such a thing (or something similar) exists already. I'd be very interested in knowing what solutions any of you may have come with to tackle this problem.

Also, the method that you suggested was tried previously and unfortunately it does not work. :( Here is a link to the message containing some info and links to Bjoern's pages: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2005-April/002405.html If your really lucky then the sk driver will be able to set it up. If your not as lucky then the driver might need to use the configuration mechanism to setup the hardware, in which case you probably can e-mail Scott Long for some patches. If your really unlucky then the 2 chipsets are way too different and you would need to write in support to the sk device driver. I am not sure if anyone is actually working on this driver. But, I will e-mail Scott like you suggested. Maybe he knows about a way to make it work. I know that the other Intel NIC is supported. I saw it in the supported hardware list for FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. ;) If the Marvell Card turns out to be really bad news, I will just slot in another one of these. :) Do you have 5.4 running on this motherboard at the current time?

So, if everything works, such that all partitions are usable as they should be, one should leave them well enough alone. Partition Magic can't keep up with the large degree of FS'es/configurations, so in many cases it in fact behind in development on the Unix support end by a large degree. -Garrett I am not sure I understand the MBR part. I left the NTLDR to handle the dual boot (by copying boot1 to C: and adding a line to boot.ini) as ThinkPad has special boot loader that can boot from the restore partition by pressing F11 at boot time. I could not make another boot loader to boot the restore partition. It is somehow special. So the MBR is standard. I can see the point about PartitionMagic not understanding many FS'es/configurations. PM marks partitions it does not understand in yellow (other). Just I was wondering why after creating the FreeBSD partition with the partition utility that is part of the FreeBSD installation process - PartitionMagic found problems outside the FreeBSD partition. Isn't the partitions table kind of international territory where FreeBSD should touch only its own land?

This is true because VNC-in various forms-has a tendency to eat up some userspace memory (I think around 5-8Mb per instance), in addition to the actual X session allocated memory that it's associated with. That's just a thought to consider when comparing the two. -Garrett I'll take that into consideration as the usercount starts to increase on the box, at the moment it will be mostly network oriented IT staff needing access to utilities.

The options u selected get saved in /var/db/ports/[PORT_NAME]/options . simply reformat the lines in the options file and put them in your pkgtools.conf and u're set. You should also pay special attention to the messages that are stdout when you start compiling,as they usually show you other useful options. BTW, I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think that pkgtools.conf is only read by the port* tools. so once you start using pkgtools.conf, you should install your ports with portinstall section/port rather than cd section/port; make install.

The guide I've been roughly following is at http://oxo.rucus.net/docs/Terminal-Vnc-HOWTO, to give you an idea of what I was aiming for. Hmmm... that's an interesting HOWTO. What the writer is doing is documenting basically how to do the DM stuff for login, but just without the SSH. I don't think that this method is really a good idea at all for security purposes as all data that goes through VNC is unencrypted. Make sure you don't have anyone pass any root passwords, credit card numbers, etc across the network during login or while they are getting logged in :). Setting up a firewall for a set of trusted PCs as close as possible to your VNC machine may be an incredibly wise idea as well while you don't have anything setup for SSH logins. I don't know anything in general to accomplish X forwarding (except paid for solutions such as Reflection X, Hummingbird, etc), so maybe going with VNC is a good idea. So I suggest setting up everything described in the HOWTO, but have SSH keys setup so then people don't have to worry about 'annoying' password based logins via SSH. Read http://www.jfitz.com/tips/ssh_for_windows.html#Automatic_login for more details on how to do this via putty. The only thing I can think of that's causing issues is maybe kdm isn't running on port 177. Have you attempted setting it up to listen on port 177, and also have you checked to see if login via the local box is possible? Testing out to see if that works or not might be something to really try first before seeing whether or not the VNC is at fault. Then, try logging in via another account, see if that works, and go down the line determining what the issue is. If you can't login via VNC, check the console with the VNC server started for any error messages that were displayed during execution (there might be some issues encountered during startup). I would also check the vncserver (invoke 'whereis vncserver' or 'which vncserver') file (I don't think it's binary but an actual script used for listening via TCP but I could be wrong). If it's a script (and hopefully not a binary file), it should contain any relevant information about what variables get setup during execution because vncserver eventually calls Xvnc, which does the actual serving. There might be some variables in vncserver which might help you determine when and how to add information in other commands and files (ie inetd.conf and kdm conf file wherever it is). Also, since you are running everything from a login manager as opposed to a direct VNC invocation, you may need to create the relevant files like ~/.Xsession, etc or setup the system wide Xsession file properly. Hopefully this helps as a start. I have no tried this so I can't guarantee any solutions but hopefully I brought something up which will lead you to a solution. The person who wrote the doc should be advised as to what actual steps need to be taken to make sure this works since the doc lacks some relevant details.

And to figure out why only under 10Mbps transfers via nfs (on a 100Mbps link...when I can get scp transfers at 40 Mbps)... thanks for ur suggestions and time,Garrett.

freebsd as the basis for something better?
hey! i'm curious about all these new operating systems, that all claim to be the next generation. there are many out there. plan9, hurd, eros, movitz. and many vaporware projects as well, such as lainos. but they all want to reinvent the wheel. i think this approach is wrong. instead, we should try to attach the wheel to its vehicle, and make sure its road is alright. not to mention; going the right way. a project where real unix would meet real life, or where open source would meet open minds -- would have to make unix more human- oriented rather than machine-oriented. and in addition to bringing order to the chaos that was laid as the foundation for all unix variants decades ago, it should also deal with new ways of interacting with unix visually. for instance, in ways more convenient than x, and its conventional graphical user interfaces (though these won't go away any time soon). ofcourse we'd have to get out of the code-only rut, and try to incorporate more natural elements from the ground up. such as design, like that conceived through real life architecture etc. having style doesn't mean it's commercial. i'm curious whether anybody would like to team up with me, to try and map out the ideas for how a real next generation unix would be. i'll soon have a pdf ready for those who are interested. in my humble opinion, this would be a great way for you to make bsd the way you've always wanted it. i guess that's it; -- siño ambrosius Concerned about your privacy?

Ted Mittelstaedt typed on a keyboard not too far away, on 6/26/2005 11:29 AM: The 88E8050 is a PCI Express nic, the Marvel chip that Dmitry listed the 88E8001, is a regular PCI chip. Here are the spec sheets on these: [...] Thank you Ted. I will have a look at these now. The SE7320VP2 motherboard uses the E7320 chipset (Lindenhurst) Support for the memory-mapped PCI Express configuration mechanism was added to FreeBSD 5 in December 2004 for only the Grantsdale and Lindenhurst chipsets. You can see the complete comment for this here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/pci/pci_cfgreg.c This first showed up in the FreeBSD 5.4 release. Brilliant. I am planning on using FreeBSD 5-STABLE on this machine. ;) Thank you for this confirmation. The first problem is that the sk0 driver most likely does not have the pci chip ID in it for the onboard Marvel 88E8050. It might be possible to get this with pciconf and add it to the if_sk code in usr/src/sys/pci to get the driver to attach. Hmm. I read on Bjoern A. Zeeb's pages that this card is not supported by the FreeBSD sk driver. Also, the method that you suggested was tried previously and unfortunately it does not work. :( Yes, that was mentioned here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-January/071205. html Here is a link to the message containing some info and links to Bjoern's pages: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2005-April/0 02405.html If your really lucky then the sk driver will be able to set it up. If your not as lucky then the driver might need to use the configuration mechanism to setup the hardware, in which case you probably can e-mail Scott Long for some patches. If your really unlucky then the 2 chipsets are way too different and you would need to write in support to the sk device driver. I am not sure if anyone is actually working on this driver. You didn't read the rest of the thread, apparently, see here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2005-April/002409.htm l But, I will e-mail Scott like you suggested. Maybe he knows about a way to make it work. I didn't know about Bjoern's message, you should e-mail him first and get his patch and see if FreeBSD 5.4 detects the Marvel. He mentioned that it did but only the PHY worked? See if you can get that far before mailing Scott. I found 2 links claiming that the sk98lin Linux driver from Syskonnect work with this card, see here: http://www.leenooks.com/251 http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.1/0010.html The Linux driver is here http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/ and it appears to be a huge patch that applies to the Linux sk source code. It does add support for the 88E8050 card. (at least the 6.24 driver does) The FreeBSD version of the SK-98 card driver from Syskonnect is here: http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/ This is NOT a source driver like the Syskonnect Linux driver. This driver creates the yk interface. Interestingly enough, there is an old post in the FreeBSD Hackers mailing list here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2003-July/002020.html that appears to be from a developer (Gerald Heinig) within Syskonnect itself asking for help in writing this very same driver. You might e-mail him and ask for the source, or ask if this driver will work with the Marvel 88E8050 card. Or in fact if that driver could be easily moded for use with the 88E8050. While Syskonnect only states this is for their SK-98xx and SK-95xx Gigabit adapter, please try it and let us know if it works for the Marvel adapter. There is no licensing file for either driver so general copyright only applies (meaning no restrictions on reverse engineering it) The official Marvel driver for Linux is here: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverSearchResults.do This is a source-only driver, and although it's license disallows reverse engineering, the license also is limited to: Deliverables means the software accompanying this Agreement in executable or binary form so I am not sure it applies. It also appears to be a copy of the Syskonnet sk98lin driver, although instead of a giant patch, it is the actual patched source files. And within the actual source files we find GPL language. It might be that Bjoern didn't want to look at the sk98lin driver for fear of violating a license? Seems to me not to be much worry of that here since it seems Marvel simply applied the unlicensed Syskonnect code to Linux GPL'd code and posted the resulting source under a license that restricts itself only to binary files! :-) I would assume one could review the Syskonnect/Marvel Linux source and see

Then have amd remount the remote system and check the log. Thanks for the tip Dan. it was mounting as v2. Mounting by hand as v3 addressed the problem, though why it was dying @ 4 GB ( - 16K) instead of 2 GB baffles me.

I've installed the xmms-faad port, but the libmp4.so plugin doesn't seem to want to work: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.so: Undefined symbol MP4GetTrackAudioType I wonder if this could be one port stepping on another, or even just a simple path problem, like LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I have gotten gmplayer to play these files, but it doesn't do playlist shuffling and the gain is so low through gmplayer that I have to crank the gain and volume to the max just to hear it at a decent level. Then every darn time I get email, ringin.wav plays over it at max volume. I almost did myself a mischief the first time that happened. Sure it's hilarious in hindsight, but it really scares the dirt outa you when it happens. I also tried xine. It's pretty cool looking and all, like xmms, and it has a very cool splash, but it dumps core when I try to play m4a files. BTW, these m4a files were ripped by iTunes on my wife's windoze box, and I am trying to play them on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p1. Any pointers would be appreciated.

We are not using FreeBSD 5.anything in production, because it seems as if 5-STABLE is only now reaching the level of stability we have come to expect from FreeBSD. (It looks as if we might be able to stop using 4-STABLE when 6.0-RELEASE or 6.1-RELEASE comes out, so long as the TCP/IP stack is re-optimized and disk performance improves by then.) So, we don't have the ability to use anything that's based on the GEOM subsystem. Nonetheless, the Web page is intriguing. Will the GEOM RAID subsystem really allow the machine to run and/or boot from either drive? It looks as if the machine is instructed to do different stages of the boot from different drives, so I'm concerned that if either drive fails a reboot might fail. The ata(4) man page mentions support for RAID 1 on Promise and Highpoint (Adaptec?) RAID controllers. These tend to be less expensive than brands like 3Ware (which I'd use for RAID5 but seems like overkill for RAID 1). Have folks had good experience with these?

Perhaps the video card interferes with the audio card in some way. Someone might be able to help you with that if you can say what the video and audio cards are. Especially your comment about hissing makes this sound like something audio-card related. Can you try any other applications which use your audio card? Play an audio CD, for example? [Actually, I'm only *sure* this is true for Mozilla, but given how closely related it is to Firefox, I expect this to be true for it as well]. As to my original post. If you make Firefox from a port, it asks you some questions about options. If you deliberately or accidentally (easy to do) select the Debugging option, then Firefox will beep at you a lot. It beeps every time it comes across a supposed error, and it seems to find one of those in just about everything you do. This was how it was for me with Mozilla under 4.11, when I actually did want to see debugging information. You can check if this is your problem by looking in the file /var/db/ports/firefox/options. If it contains the line WITHOUT_DEBUG=false or WITH_DEBUG=true then this is why Firefox is beeping (not sure which line it would be, but probably the latter). You can fix this by removing the file and reinstalling Firefox being careful not to select the debugging option. If you use portupgrade, you can do that with portupgrade -f www/firefox However, unless you installed or upgraded Firefox *after* you changed the video card, then I don't think this is the answer you are looking for.

Re: PartitionMagic question
Though I still wonder why after FreeBSD has touched the partitions table, PartitionMagic finds errors outside the *nix territory. It is somehow irritating to ignore errors all the time. I can see that FreeBSD is made on first place to live alone, but it would be nicer if it could live together with other OS in peace. Yeah, but if everything works, why mess with it? PM is overly-verbose in this case and has a tendency to misunderstand what's going on. NOTE: Do not try what I have down below if it wants to 'play' with any FreeBSD partitions! Also, if you _don't_ have the latest version of PM and/or are running this on XP SP2, you may completely bork some of your Windows partitions so please consider doing what I suggest with extreme caution! If you really want to see what happens, what I suggest-before trying this-is to make a bootdisk of FreeBSD and the PM bootdisk, then test it by confirming and rebooting. Most likely you'll have an issue booting into one OS or another, but if that's true you can boot to your XP CD and just reload the ntloader into the MBR and you'll be fine. I'm just suggesting making FreeBSD/PM bootdisks just in case. -Garrett Hm... This is somehow too shadowy and time intensive (to reproduce the errors I need to reinstall FreeBSD). Hey Garrett, thank you for exploring the issue with me! I'll leave it as it is for now (with the errors fixed by PM) and just use it to see how is it going. Both OS'es boot fine and it starts to feel as a waste of time to dig deeper into the it. Perhaps in future there will be bits and pieces that will assemble themselves into a proper answer.

I have posted the following files if anyone feels ambitious enough to look them over for me. Sarath, I will see if I can rephrase some of this, and at least help *MY* understanding. If your ISP is blocking port 80, then the fix absolutely must fall into one of two categories: either you can find out how your ISP is blocking it, and do a workaround of that, or you must have someone else perform a service for you, having the required URL changed to be the correct base port (not 80, and I would myself choose 8080, if your ISP didn't block that also). Nice thing about that, your friendly apache-friend isn't going to lose any bigtime bandwidth, because it's still being served from your machine, your friend is merely serving to redirect the port, not actually serve it. Now, I will make the assumption here that the above paragraph is mostly right. You could use ethereal very simply to check and make sure of it. One screwup would be to have the redirect be close, but not actually what it should be, and it's really, really easy to read and check this. I'd bet it as either a very likely thing to be, OR while you do it, you are pretty likely to spot the real problem. Go give it a try.

UNIX is user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are. New gui tools are needed. lets bring the CLI tools to the GUI, like pipes, redirects, etc. some of apples ideas are nice aka NeXTSTEP. Why are we trying to emulate windows when mircosoft just steals it's idea's from apple? lets cut the middle man out.

Re: Perl 5.8.6 to 5.8.7 upgrade fails IPC tests
On 06/26/05 04:50 PM, Mikko Tyljrvi sat at the `puter and typed: SNIP This certainly does make sense, but I'm not sure I'm actually running short here. I have SYSVSEM in my kernel (as well as SYSVSHM and SYSVMSG), and the relevant sysctls are: kern.ipc.semmap: 30 kern.ipc.semmni: 10 kern.ipc.semmns: 60 kern.ipc.semmnu: 30 kern.ipc.semmsl: 60 kern.ipc.semopm: 100 kern.ipc.semume: 10 kern.ipc.semusz: 92 kern.ipc.semvmx: 32767 kern.ipc.semaem: 16384 Ok, looks like the default settings, which are often too low for anything that makes heavy use of SYSV IPCs... root# ipcs -S seminfo: semmap: 30 (# of entries in semaphore map) semmni: 10 (# of semaphore identifiers) semmns: 60 (# of semaphores in system) semmnu: 30 (# of undo structures in system) semmsl: 60 (max # of semaphores per id) semopm:100 (max # of operations per semop call) semume: 10 (max # of undo entries per process) semusz: 92 (size in bytes of undo structure) semvmx: 32767 (semaphore maximum value) semaem: 16384 (adjust on exit max value) root# ipcs -s Semaphores: T ID KEYMODE OWNERGROUP s 655365432001 --rw---pgsqlpgsql s 655375432002 --rw---pgsqlpgsql s 655385432003 --rw---pgsqlpgsql ... such as databases :-) Have a look at /usr/ports/databases/postgresql80-server/pkg-message-server for some sample settings. Near as I can tell, this tells me I have at least 60 semaphores systemwide, 60 per id, 3 in use, none of which are being used by root (which is who I am running the test as). Shouldn't that leave 57 for the perl tests? Not necessarily. The SYSV IPCs is a particularly vicious piece of poor engineering. Semaphores come in sets containing one or more semaphore. With your settings you can have at most 10 sets, and a total of at most 60 semaphores, and at most 60 per set, and at most 30... something else. Also, at most 30 locks can be released in case a process unexpectedly exits. Easy, right? Looks like you'll have to use ipcs -sa to see the NSEMS column, which should tell you how many semaphores are in use. How many does it need to open? No idea. Read the code or just raise the retarded limits by a lot. Or try stopping postgres while running the tests. $.02, And then some. You called this one right on the nose. ipcs -sa showed each of the 3 pgsql processes were using 17 semaphores (NSEMS column) wich really did cut things down. The pkg-message-server file shed some light too. I first shut down postgres, then ran the test, and everything worked fine. Then I added the 3 lines below to /boot/loader.conf, then rebooted and ran the tests again with postgres still running, and everything worked fine again. kern.ipc.semmns=240 kern.ipc.semume=40 kern.ipc.semmnu=120 So, I suspect I have enough semaphores for awhile now: $ ipcs -S seminfo: semmap: 30 (# of entries in semaphore map) semmni: 10 (# of semaphore identifiers) semmns:240 (# of semaphores in system) semmnu:120 (# of undo structures in system) semmsl: 60 (max # of semaphores per id) semopm:100 (max # of operations per semop call) semume: 40 (max # of undo entries per process) semusz: 92 (size in bytes of undo structure) semvmx: 32767 (semaphore maximum value) semaem: 16384 (adjust on exit max value) Thanks again.

RE: Still trying to get my site up!
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gerard Seibert Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 4:07 PM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Still trying to get my site up! Thanks to several individuals, I have almost gotten my Apache2 server working. Almost, but not quite. My ISP blocks port 80; therefore I am using a redirect from DynDNS.org to redirect to an alias using port 9545. No, you are not. You cannot redirect to a specific port using the DNS system. Currently dydns.org has beerstud.us pointing to IP address 63.208.196.110 If that is your IP address then hosts on the Internet that query www.beerstud.us will go to port 80 on that IP address. If that isn't your IP number then it must be an IP address of a webhost that will issue a HTTP redirect when it gets a query to port 80 on your beerstud.us URL. The 'beerstud.us' redirects to 'www2.beerstud.us:9545' From my FreeBSD box, if I type: lynx http://beerstud.us, I see the following message: Using http://www2.beerstud.us:9545/. The connection is made and the index.htm file is displayed. However, I am unable to reach this site from any other computer. Eventually, the request will time out and I receive an error message telling me that the site is not available. I am not sure what I am doing wrong at this point. You need to contact the support department of your ISP. I don't understand why you think that your ISP is just blocking port 80 and not any other port. There are firewalls out there nowadays smart enough to see an incoming HTTP request and block it no matter what port it's coming in on. If your ISP is blocking port 80 that probably means you haven't paid for an enhanced account that will allow you to run a server. If that is the case and your ISP is making money off allowing ports to be open for customers, then I would think that they probably have one of those firewalls setup that blocks incoming HTTP get requests no matter what port they come in on.

Re: media player for mpeg-4? xmms can't load faad plugin
On 06/26/05 02:47 PM, Louis LeBlanc sat at the `puter and typed: Anyone have any luck getting xmms to play m4a (mpeg-4) files? I've installed the xmms-faad port, but the libmp4.so plugin doesn't seem to want to work: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.so: Undefined symbol MP4GetTrackAudioType I wonder if this could be one port stepping on another, or even just a simple path problem, like LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I have gotten gmplayer to play these files, but it doesn't do playlist shuffling and the gain is so low through gmplayer that I have to crank the gain and volume to the max just to hear it at a decent level. Then every darn time I get email, ringin.wav plays over it at max volume. I almost did myself a mischief the first time that happened. Sure it's hilarious in hindsight, but it really scares the dirt outa you when it happens. I also tried xine. It's pretty cool looking and all, like xmms, and it has a very cool splash, but it dumps core when I try to play m4a files. BTW, these m4a files were ripped by iTunes on my wife's windoze box, and I am trying to play them on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p1. Any pointers would be appreciated. Here's the pointer for the next *BSD user looking to make better use of his/her iTunes than keeping them on a 'doze box. Install audio/rhythmbox. I suggest using the gstreamer backend (xine dumped core on me when I tried to play m4as). Rhythmbox rocks. The gui isn't as fancy as xmms or xine, or even iTunes itself, but under the hood I like it as much as iTunes. You get the same 'net radio, shuffle play, playlists and you have a very straightforward windowed filter by artist, album, etc. It's just as easy to rate a tune, too. And unlike iTunes, it gave me a startoff rating right down the middle of the road for all tunes. The only thing I've noticed that isn't there is the date filtering in automatic playlists. And I didn't have to do a thing to get it to trap the fancy msoft multimedia keys (play, pause, stop, next, prev). It all just worked. I haven't tried it yet, but it claims to be able to load my iPod too. Maybe I _can_ put off buying a powerbook until the Intel based systems come out. Very, very cool.
