Mounting DVD, Gnome 2.12 Browse CD and play content

2005-11-06 Thread Jeff Molofee

Hi All,

===
problem 1
===

I have been using FreeBSD as a desktop system for about 2 years now. 
Started on 4.x... as of last night, I'm now running 6 stable #2.


I've noticed over the years, that dvd, has at one point worked, then it 
stopped working, then it worked, then it stopped working, etc.


I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong... so I thought I would ask on 
this list.


If I play a dvd with mplayer dvd://1 it works fine.
If I play a dvd with totem dvd://1 it worked fine up until tonight 
(gstreamer error, not concerned about this right now because I just 
upgraded and have not had a chance to see what might be wrong).


However, if I run totem and try to play a dvd using PLAY DVD, it fails 
horribly. The error I get is:


Failed to retrieve capabilities of device /dev/cd0: Inappropriate ioctl 
for device


I have a sony dvd rw dw-d22a drive.
cam is properly configured.
permissions and mounting if devfs and fstab are set, my account is in 
the cdrom group (permission).

k3b will burn, and copy discs just fine.
mplayer will play discs (minus the menu).

I have tried to recompile totem with acd0, dvd, etc... as the DVD 
device, but it seems to ignore what I enter as a device to use and 
defaults back to cd0 (which should be fine I would think).


Any help would be appreciated.

===
problem 2
===

I attempted to mount a windows game (on dvd) the other day. I wanted to 
grab some files from the disc to play with in BSD.
when clicking the dvd icon under computer (name I gave my drive). It 
comes back and says it can't mount the disc. I am able to get a 
directory of the disc if I mount it with UDF, but I am unable to copy or 
look at the files.


Oddly enough, I can mount a dvd movie and see the contents of the drive 
just fine.


/dev/cd0 /usr/home/{homedir}/DVD cd9660 ro,noauto 0

I attempted to read a windows data dvd that I had burned a few month 
earlier and noticed I was not able to mount this disc anymore. I was 
able to mount it in the past (I fairly sure).


===
problem 3
===

this is not really a problem, but more me not understanding what I am 
doing. I read on the gnome 2.12 new features list that you can now 
double click audio tracks on an audio cd, and have them play:

/
Nautilus is now more tightly integrated with the multimedia tasks you 
want to do. In addition to the thumbnailing of video and previewing of 
audio in past releases, Nautilus now offers drag and drop capabilities 
from audio CDs and the ability to play a track simply by double clicking.


/How do you do this? When I try to mount an audio cd (which is what I 
would assume you would have to do to get a list of its tracks), it fails.


Sorry for the long winded post. It's my first post, and would love to 
get these problems ironed out.

Java-1.4 is older (more mature in fbsd patches). Can the same be said

  used to have a box of them and when running into a problem like
  your doing, I would swap the cards until I got a good combo.  This

  And all this was long before FreeBSD, let alone Linux, was even

  Your 40GB Maxtor has some moronic timing incompatibility with the
  IDE chipset that the FreeBSD driver in 5.4/6.0 happens to tickle,
  there's nothing you can do about it.  Use your 80GB disk for the
  FreeBSD system or go find some other brand of motherboard for your
  40GB disk, and things will work fine.

 Thanks for the advice, and that is probably what I will do.

 However, before I bought the 80GB disk, I used to run 4.6 on
the Maxtor
 40GB, with no problems.  Furthernore, this disk and MB will still run
 Ubuntu and Fedora, so it seems that later FreeBSD releases are more
 sensitive, or drive the hardware a bit harder.

Thanks for the help - you seem to be correct, Ted.  I bought a second
Western Digital 80GB disk, and 5.4 installs on this with no problem.

The case for the 40 GB Maxtor seems a little odd - it works fine with
Ubuntu, the Redmond product, and Fedora Core 3. I even switched it to
PIO-only mode, and then 5.4 can be installed - but, as expected, it is
very slow - 25 seconds to load KPresenter, for example.  Not too useful.

It also worked with an earlier FreeBSD, version 4.7 and before.  So does
FreeBSD drives disks a bit harder than other OSes, and is it still in
spec?


I think the issue is that you have to view the computer as a true
merger of hardware and software, not simply a hardware platform that
software happens to be running on.

With the FreeBSD OS (and in any OS) there's many abstractive layers
to try to decouple as much of the code as possible from the hardware.
For example you do not want your network card shutting down just because
a particular usermode app runs, that is why the OS prohibits those apps
from doing so.

But, despite all this what it all boils down to is the CPU of the
motherboard

NFS Installation Issues

2005-11-06 Thread Matthew Smith
Hi

Having used AIX for about twenty years and Linux for nearly ten, I have
decided to start exploring the possibilities of FreeBSD and have just
downloaded the ISOs for Version 6/i386.

I have attempted to do an install from CD, but am getting failures on
quite a few files - possibly because I only had yucky CDRWs to put my
ISOs on and the CD drive in the machine is quite old.  So, I decided to
copy the CD to a directory on another machine, make an NFS share (which
works - I checked it from yet another machine), and just use the CD to boot.

My problem is that when I select the installation source, Ethernet is
not amongst the options (just SLIP, PPP and something else weird).

I assume that there's a kernel module not loaded, so after looking
further through the documentation, I found that I should be able to put
a line in /boot/defaults/loader.conf.  Since the installation so far was
actually bootable (that's one up on Linux!), I did this.  All this did
for me was to generate a warning that the module was already loaded.

What am I missing?  Nowhere, when booting from the first CD, do I get an
opportunity to tell it about my network device, although it will ask for
all the usual networking details.  I'm sure that there must be something
quite simple, but is not obvious from the documentation.

Cheers

M

Well first of all what is the program, how did you install it etc.

However the freebsd sheduler does lower the priority for programs that
use up their entire slice of CPU time, rather than using some up, and
then sleep - ing themselves , or blocking, waiting for something.
Therefore a program that is continuous, gets lower and lower priority,
while something that has to wait for, say, input, line an interactive
program (eg text-editor) gets higher and higher priority (until it

lowers and the process start over again)

If you really believe that it's being stopped because of this, look

Otherwise, let everybody know what the program is. Also, is it writing

Sorry for not providing more clues.

I'm running a Counter-Strike server under linux binary emulation on a :

When there are many players on the server the cpu load looks like this 
(seen from top):


 PID USERNAME PRI  NICE   SIZERES  STATETIME   WCPUCPU COMMAND
28605 counter   1310  214M   209M RUN369:13

After a while the hlds server just dies.
I see no errors in any logs.

Afterwards everything is fine, I just restart the counter-strike binary 
and the cycle repeats itself after a while.


The program was installed using the sources provided by Valve and not 
from the ports directory.

No, although an arbitrary number of lines might get deleted.

 If it does/can, then there's a trivial solution (a few lines in perl, or a

RE: getting an old NIC to work

2005-11-06 Thread David Fleck

On Sat, 5 Nov 2005, Steve Bertrand wrote:

It appears as though everything is in order. The routes are in place,
IP/SN is all correct etc.

You are going to have to take a step down now to the lower layers of the
network stack.

Perform this command while plugged into the network and let it run a
while:

# tcpdump -n -i pcn0

What this will do is see if the nic can see traffic coming from other
machines. Throw some pings at it from another box, and even if the other
box doesn't get a reply, tcpdump will tell you if the nic can at least
see the incoming traffic. Also, run tcpdump on another box, and repeat
the process, but ping from the box with the 'bad' nic in it. Perhaps it
can send traffic, but just not receive. Doing this both ways will
indicate either way and may give you a clue.


No indication of activity either way - 'tcpdump' on the affected machine 
sees no packets from elsewhere, 'tcpdump' on a working machine sees tons 
of packets, but none from this machine.



Further that, even farther down, try a different cable and switch port
(one at a time). I know that may seem silly, but weirder things have
happened.


Yes, I know... tried swapping cables/hub ports, no change.


If all of that fails, due to the fact there is a driver loaded for the
device, and it is taking all of it's parameters ok, I would say slap a
new nic in the box and see if you can rx/tx traffic via it. If you can,
I'd say then there is a problem with the nic itself, and you have
confirmed it logically and completely.


Well, that may take a few days, until I scrounge up an extra NIC... but 
thanks for the assistance.  At least I know I was going about the testing 
the right way.

 No, although an arbitrary number of lines might get deleted.

  If it does/can, then there's a trivial solution (a few lines in perl, or a
  hundred lines in C) that'll make the speed roughly similar to that of I/O.

 Could you elaborate?  That's been bugging me all weekend.  I know I should
 know this, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

  }
  if (b in old_records) {
   get b out of old_records
   next
  }
  put a in old_records
  put b in new_records
}

after that old_records will contain records present in old
file, but not in new file, and new_records will contain
records present in new file, but not old one.

Note, that the difference must be kept in RAM, so it
won't work if there are multi-gig diffs, but it will work
very fast if the diffs are only 10-100Mb, it will work at
close to I/O speed if the diff is under 10Mb.

If the records can be ordered in a known order (e.g.
alphabetically), we don't need to keep anything in
RAM then and make any checks at all. Let's
assume an ascending order (1-2-5-7-31-...):

while (there are more records) {
 a = read (line from old file)
 b = read (line from new file)
 while (a  b) {
  if (a  b) then {
   write a to old_records
   read next a
  }
  if (a  b) then {
   write b to new_records
   read next b
  }
 }
}

If course, you've got to add some checks to
deal with EOF correctly.

Hope this gives you some idea.

Re: Odd boot problem

 Hi,

 I needed to add an IDE disk to an already running SCSI booting machine

 Recently upgraded to 6.0 :) with the IDE disk connected to the

 After a make kernel the machine boots fine but only if I have the IDE
 disk connected.
 Booting from the scsi disk I can clearly see it's trying to find the
 load from the ide disk.
 I tried 'atacontrol detach ata0' and reinstalling the kernel and tried
 a bsdlabel -B da0 but I still get the error, boot message follows:

 I tried 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel but still no go.
 How can I fix this?

 Joao Barros


One more odd thing I noticed:
With ad0 attached like as before this problem occurred I correctly see
this at the loader:
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1

Drive 1 is a raid array on another controller.

With ad0 disconnected and da0 being the boot drive I only see:
F1 FreeBSD

Considering that doing a make work  kernel with a ad0(which I guess
BIOS will see as the new drive 0) attached after the initial system
installation on da0 rendered booting from
da0 unusable, I think something very wrong must be happening.
The disk to consider writing any new boot information should be the
one where / lives in, not disk 0 reported by the BIOS. Well, that's my
view of it anyway...

I'm really unable to restore booting capabilities to da0 so any hints
are highly appreciated.

Good stuff.

However, there is one more test you can do (if possible). If the 'bad'
NIC can be removed from the affected box, if it's not imbedded in the
MB, then you can try putting it in another box, just to eliminate the
very, very slight possibility this is a computer issue, and not a NIC
issue.

Just a thought. I wish you lived next door, I've got about 30 NIC's
laying around...I work at an ISP ;)

 Manufacture), if I installing that ethernet on the one CPU

 rl1 has been active if I use `ifconfig` command. If I droping 
 one of them from my CPU, ethernet can use again. Would you 
 give information with this situation

I'm in a hurry, but a quick suggestion. This problem *may* crop up if
you incidentally try to apply an IP to a NIC that is currently in use on
the network.

With both NIC's installed and activated, please reply the list with the
output of the following commands:

# ifconfig -a
# uname -a
# netstat -rn

...then, do the same with only one NIC installed at a time. Comparing
the differences may be able to give us more clues to the problem here.

LDM (Windows Dynamic Disks) in FreeBSD?

2005-11-06 Thread Andrew Brampton

Hi,

I think I've found the answer to my question already, but I wanted to be 
100% sure.




Can I read Window Dynamic Disk volumes from within FreeBSD? More precisely 
RAID-5 volume across multiple disks. I've googled and googled and I think 
the answer is no. The linux-ntfs project has a tool that can display 
information about the volume but the file system driver isn't fully 
developed yet.




If there is no LDM support in FreeBSD, I think I'm going to port the 
userland linux-ntfs ldminfo tool to FreeBSD, however I have a quick question 
about GPL. If I port the code then obviously my version will have to be 
under the GPL. I was wondering how this impacts the BSD licence? I presume 
users of FreeBSD can happily use this tool, and hopefully one day it would 
be allowed in ports. But say I extended this tool into a file system driver 
(which I know is a big leap) would this code ever be considered for the 
Kernel, or would I have to code from scratch to avoid the GPL restrictions?




Thanks in advance

Andrew Brampton

day or two before. i tried to update ports db manually only to find some 
errors. pkg_version correctly identified new ports. this state changed 
in about half a day when suddenly portsnap  portversion reported all 
new packages. otoh, portaudit still doesn't report on vulnerabilities it 
reported a few days ago.


strange..

Re: New Logo - http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/result/ (OFF-TOPIC)

2005-11-06 Thread Allen D. Tate
 Very disappointing. I prefer the current logo over a ball with two
 horns!!! and the font used to write FreeBSD is very unprofessional.

It is interesting to see differing opinions. I kinda like the new logo
and new font and think that it does look professional. I am not saying
that your opinion is wrong in any way so don't think I am saying you're
wrong. :)

Problems with upgrading 5.4 stable to 6.0 stable

2005-11-06 Thread Alan Polinsky
I have been having repeated difficulties in upgrading from 5.4 to 6.0.
My problems start in the make buildworld step. The last successful
compile step is:
/usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipf/libipf created for ./usr/src/sbin/ipf/libipf

From that point I get a series of cascading errors. I tried ignoring
them, but could not successfully build the kernel. I have looked through
documentation at your site, but could not find a resolulution. 

This is my only exposure to freebsd. I have several linux boxes at home
that I use with no problems. At work I am a unix (Solaris 8) and
application programmer under windows.

These are the cascading errors:

=== sbin/ipf/ipf(obj) mkdir; /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipf/ipf: file exists
*** Error code 1
stop in /usr/src/sbin/ipf/ipf.
*** Error code 1
stop in /usr/src/sbin/ipf
*** Error code 1
stop in /usr/src/sbin
*** Error code 1
stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1
stop in /usr/src

I purchased my orginal Freebsd 5.3 disks from freebsdmall. I then
successfully upgraded to 5.4 with no problems. I have been choosing
cvsup4 as my source of the upgrades. Perhaps you can help.

Thank you very much

Installing mod_frontpage to apache2

2005-11-06 Thread Bill Moran

A google search doesn't reveal any recent posts about this.  Ports updated 
just an hour or so ago.  Freshports seems to indicate that all should be
well, yet I get this:

begin make output
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage  make install

*
IMPORTANT

This port still has some security issues. Some buffer
overflows have been fixed, but since the port depends
on ENV[] variables, a local user can still gain a UID
of another user. This is a design issue, and also
present in the apache13-fp port.

Check carefully that the Makefile has FP_UID_MIN and
FP_GID_MIN set correctly. If you think security is
very important for you, you shouldnt run frontpage
at all.

Re: 5.4 Generic Kernel - da and scbus...I'm at a loss

2005-11-06 Thread Sebastien

 I am a newbie to kernel related things.  I'm running 5.4 using the generic 
 kernel.  I am problems with using an iPod via USB, and it seems that I may 
 not have device support for sa and scbus in my kernel.  I have been 
 searching for a few hours this evening using various criteria and am still 
 unable to get past this issue.
 
 It seems like the failure is that a device node /dev/da* for the umass drive 
 isn't be created.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am going to try booting 
 the 6.0 kernel off CD next and then go from there.

I had the same problem with a nano.

I had many difficulties to find a way to solve it too. Finally this link
helped me
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2005-September/001534.html


I patched /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usb_subr.c as described, compiled my
kernel again and it works...


I'm not sure that it's the right way but it works...

how to setup DNS server and making sub-domains in DSL server

2005-11-06 Thread Edwin D. Vinas
Hi,
 I need your help please.
On my personal FreeBSD server connected to an ISP with static IP address,
I'm planning to setup several websites with their own sub-domains from my
main domain as shown below. I just want to know some answers to my questions
before I start.
 Main domain: www.exampledomain.ph http://www.exampledomain.ph
Sub-domains:
sub1.exampledomain.ph http://sub1.exampledomain.ph
 sub2.exampledomain.ph http://sub2.exampledomain.ph
 sub3.exampledomain.ph http://sub3.exampledomain.ph
 I want to use BIND together with my Apache virtual hosting in one single
FreeBSD machine.
 These are my questions:
1) Is it correct that I only need to register or pay for the main domain?
2) Is it correct that through my local DNS server, I can add sub hosts (sub1
to sub3) without anymore registering those sub domains and pay for them in
my main domain provider?
3) Provided that I already have successfully setup my local DNS server,
Apache virtual hosting and main domain activated, is it straightforward that
I can already access the sub domains (i.e., websites) from the Internet?
4) Do I need to register sub1, sub2 and sub3 in any external domain

  If you use moused, try de auto in the mouse type parameter.
  From the moused(8) manual page:
  --- BEGIN QUOTE --
  For the USB mouse, the protocol must be auto.  No other protocol

  Also, use the same moused in the X Windows System.

Re: how to setup DNS server and making sub-domains in DSL server

On Sun, Nov 06, 2005 at 11:38:59AM -0800, Edwin D. Vinas wrote:
 1) Is it correct that I only need to register or pay for the main domain?

Yes, provided you choose a registrar who will allow you to change the
namservers on the daomin - i.e. they don't force you to use their
nameservers in conjunction with a web hosting package or something
(123-reg.co.uk will definitely work as I use them for a similar setup to
the one you describe).

 2) Is it correct that through my local DNS server, I can add sub hosts (sub1
 to sub3) without anymore registering those sub domains and pay for them in
 my main domain provider?

That's correct. Adding a subdomain is generally a case of adding one
line to the zone file for that particular domain (assuming you're just
adding a simple subdomain that isn't going to be delegated or receive
mail or anything comlicated like that) and telling Bind to reload the
zone file (/etc/rc.d/named reload will usually work, although I find I
often have to use restart instead of reload for some reason).

 3) Provided that I already have successfully setup my local DNS server,
 Apache virtual hosting and main domain activated, is it straightforward that
 I can already access the sub domains (i.e., websites) from the Internet?

Assuming you're not behind a firewall of any type (or you setup the
relevant rules), then it should be fairly simple to make everything
accessible from the rest of the Internet. If your main domain works,
then any subdomains on the same machine should do as well.

 4) Do I need to register sub1, sub2 and sub3 in any external domain
 provider?

No, you'd just tell your registrar to change the nameservers to whatever
your local DNS servers are. Most will have a control panel allowing you
to do this easily.

 5) Can you provide some sample configs if you are already doing this setup?
   Thank you in advance!

What kind of sample config? If you're not doing anything special, any
tutorial on DNS/Bind will show you how to setup subdomains.

Your fisrt and hardest roadblock will be getting your provider to allow
YOU to be authoritive for the IP or IP's you use.

Many will not allow that - meaning, you will get reolution one way, but
not reverse - meaning again, 123.123.123.123 = yourname.com =
123.123.123.123

Once you get past that - the rest is easy.. Im willing to bet tho - your
provider will not allow you or will have to do that for you.

lib not found error

2005-11-06 Thread dick hoogendijk
Strange error. Only seen it on 6.0 release. I'm building a new 6.0
machine from scratch. Installed courier-authlib and courier packages
from ports (as I have on my 4.11 and 5.4 computers. All went well.

Except a strange error when I run makealiases:  
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 can't find a courier library 
Location: (/usr/local/lib/courier-authlib/libcourierauth.so.0

The file is there, but can't be found. Strange. No errors on 5.4 / 4.11
(??)

As a temp solution I symlinked the libcourierauth.so.0 to /lib (ok ok,
it's not the right way, I know..) and the error goes away.

What is wrong here? Why is /usr/local/lib/courier-authlib not put in
the ldconfig searchpath? How can I solve it in a /neat/ way?

Re: NFS Installation Issues

2005-11-06 Thread Matthew Smith
snip
My problem is that when I select the installation source, Ethernet is
not amongst the options (just SLIP, PPP and something else weird).
 
 That something weird could well be the ethernet card. unlike Linux,
 the ethernet devices are not all named ethX', but are named after the
 driver. So it could be e.g. sk0, xl0, dc0, de0, fxp0, vr0 etc.
 
I assume that there's a kernel module not loaded, so after looking
further through the documentation, I found that I should be able to put
a line in /boot/defaults/loader.conf.  Since the installation so far was
actually bootable (that's one up on Linux!), I did this.  All this did
for me was to generate a warning that the module was already loaded.
 
 Then try to use the something weird as the ethernet device.

Thanks for that Roland - I've had another look, but the something
weird is PLIP, which I believe to be some parallel port communication
system.

So, my real question remains: how does one get a network card
recognised?  One piece of documentation refers to kernel configuration
as part of the installation process - I don't know if that's for an
older version, because this step certainly doesn't show up on mine.

Cheers

M

Move the tree then make a symlink from /usr/ports to your new dir.  
That's guaranteed to work.  You could also try just moving the distfiles 
subdir and symlinking it, since that really takes the space (apart from 
building).  Without knowing how little space you have, it's hard to know 
if that will be good enough.


Just changing the ENV in pkgtools.conf will only work for tools which 
use it, which I don't think includes portsnap.  You'd want to set it in 
your root shell for everything to see it.


Or, for the larger ports just make with WRKDIRPREFIX set to somewhere 
with lots of space.  You can set that is pkgtools.conf per port, 
assuming you use portupgrade or in make.conf, for every port to use it.  
I don't like that as for some ports I sometimes need to keep the work 
subdir hanging around.

Diagnosing reboot under load

My desktop system just started doing this last night.  I was upgrading

all the software that got lost in last night's reset and I get another

More help with find

2005-11-06 Thread Jeffrey Ellis
Hi--

I¹m on Darwin and am having the following problem. When I do a find / it is
finding not only all the files I have on my startup volume, but since under
Darwin, any ext. drives, cd¹s etc. are listed in the Volumes directory,
which exists on the startup volume, it continues on and finds all files on
all the volumes, not just the startup volume I want.

What I really need is an expression which will ls all files found which have
a mod. date/time of more than a certain number of days from today, but that
are *not* in the Volumes directory, i.e., only those results which exist on
the startup volume.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks :)

All My Best,

I like to have my IPs resolve both ways too, but try finding an ISP who
will either give you that sort of control through delegation or is
willing to setup the required reverse DNS records on their side. If
you're lucky you'll get customer114324.myisp.net to play with. I don't

sort of thing.

Having said that, there's nothing particularly wrong about not having
reverse DNS records for IPs, or having ones that don't match. It only
really matters if you're sending out email to people with overly
aggressive spam filters that check for that sort of thing.

Yes, that's IP over a parallel port.

You don't have to. The GENERIC kernel comes with all network card
drivers built as modules. If FreeBSD has a driver for your network
chip/card, it should show up.

If it doesn't, make sure that it's not disabled in the BIOS and that the
cable is actually connected to the hub/router.

If none of that works, try to give us some details about the
chip/card. Make and model if possible.

I've never done a network install, but look at section 2.2.4 of the
Handbook. It describes what info you need to have on-hand for a network
install. If you don't want to type all these numbers in, configure a
machine on the network that you are connecting to as a DHCP server.

Of course, you must also have an FTP server available if you want to do
an FTP install.

 You don't have to. The GENERIC kernel comes with all network card
 drivers built as modules. If FreeBSD has a driver for your network

It's a generic PCI card based on the Realtek 8139C - the hardware file

GA71XE4 with an AMD Duron 850.

 If it doesn't, make sure that it's not disabled in the BIOS and that the
 cable is actually connected to the hub/router.
The card and connection certainly work - this box is normally a Linux
machine, but currently has a 2.5 hard disc in so that I can get FreeBSD
 installed and then transfer to an old ThinkPad.  Light showing all OK
on Ethernet switch.

I can't see anything in the BIOS (AMIBIOS) that should be stopping it
other than PnP OS Installed=No.  (This doesn't affect operation under
Linux.)

 If none of that works, try to give us some details about the
 chip/card. Make and model if possible.
The big worry is that Ethernet doesn't even come up as an option.  Think
I'll try a card with a different chipset and see if that helps any.

I've just had a look through /var/log/messages and have spotted some
lines that may be relevant:

{timestamp} kernel: re0: couldn't map ports/memory
{timestamp} kernel: rl0: couldn't map ports/memory
{timestamp} kernel: pci0: network, ethernet at device 8.0 (no driver

Re: how to setup DNS server and making sub-domains in DSL server

Having said that, there's nothing particularly wrong about not

reverse DNS records for IPs, or having ones that don't match. It only
really matters if you're sending out email to people with overly
aggressive spam filters that check for that sort of thing.

Actually, my ISP, ipHouse.net is one who's willing to configure  
reverse DNS for you.  Qwest Communications is another one who'll  
setup DNS for you, and they're HUGE.  If you choose to go with  
ipHouse, tell them I sent you -- then I get free DSL for a month!

6.0 panics on boot

2005-11-06 Thread Derek Ragona


I have a computer that has been running FreeBSD 4.X and 5.X without
problems.  It runs 5.4 with no problems at all.  This system has an Intel 
845 Motherboard and chipset, Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, NVidea 
GEForce MX/MX 400 video card, atapi CD-RW, IDE hard drive, standard 
floppy.  Nothing very exotic in this hardware.


I tried first to cvsup to 6.0, and rebuild everything.  The build was fine 
including a custom kernel, but when I tried to boot the new 6.0, I got a 
panic, Fatal trap 12, page fault at the NVidea driver in the boot.  So I 
re-booted the kernel.old, reverted my sources to 5.4 and rebuilt the system 
all again.


As the system rebuilt I downloaded and burned the ISO 6.0 image.

I tried to boot the ISO image and do a binary upgrade.  The CD booted 6.0 
fine, and the upgrade installed with only one error that the X.org was 
already present.  When I tried to boot the new 6.0 GENERIC kernel that was 
installed, I got the same panic/page fault error I had when I updated via 
cvsup.


But since the same GENERIC kernel boots fine from CD I suspect there may be 
some loader options I might need?  I'd appreciate any help with getting 6.0 
to boot without the panic.


Thanks

Re: More help with find

2005-11-06 Thread Jeffrey Ellis
Hi, Roland--

That works great -- thank you!

Ok... Would you mind if I asked you the next step?

I'm now able to find all the files on the startup volume and not any other
volumes.

But now I need to be able to also see that same criteria for a particular
volume which is *not* the startup drive, i.e., a specific volume which is
contained in the Volumes directory, say 'foo'. In other words, I need to be
able to isolate particular volumes to perform the find.

I then would like to be able to have the modification date and filesize
added to the display of the path and filename, and then sort the results by
the mod. date in descending order.

Is there a way to do that?

All My Best,
Jeffrey

Jeffrey,

man find is your friend.  Even though you're using Darwin, the man  
pages are still there.  Simply go to a terminal and type:


# man find

If there's a particular page you're looking for, such as page 5, type:

# man 5 find

In this particular instance, there is no section 5 for find.  For  
further help on using the man(ual), type:


# man man

the solution.

Furthermore, I have now tried swapping the Realtek card for a D-Link

Just a minor point - is 6 actually a stable version?  I was wondering

Hi Derek,

You probably just have to stop the nvidia driver from loading by 
specifying unset nvidia_load at the boot prompt and reinstall the nvidia 
driver once the system is booted.


That's what I did at least, and I have had no problems while I've heard 
from other people that didn't disable and rebuilt their nvidia drivers 
that they also got panics on boot.

It's officially a RELEASE, but I won't trust it until 6.3 or later on

got a panic, Fatal trap 12, page fault at the NVidea driver in the 
boot.  So I re-booted the kernel.old, reverted my sources to 5.4 and 
rebuilt the system all again.

As the system rebuilt I downloaded and burned the ISO 6.0 image.
I tried to boot the ISO image and do a binary upgrade.  The CD booted 6.0 
fine, and the upgrade installed with only one error that the X.org was 
already present.  When I tried to boot the new 6.0 GENERIC kernel that 
was installed, I got the same panic/page fault error I had when I updated 
via cvsup.
But since the same GENERIC kernel boots fine from CD I suspect there may 
be some loader options I might need?  I'd appreciate any help with 
getting 6.0 to boot without the panic.

Thanks


Hi Derek,

You probably just have to stop the nvidia driver from loading by 
specifying unset nvidia_load at the boot prompt and reinstall the nvidia 
driver once the system is booted.


That's what I did at least, and I have had no problems while I've heard 
from other people that didn't disable and rebuilt their nvidia drivers 
that they also got panics on boot.



Hans,

Let me see if I understand the process.  When I go to boot 6.0, escape to 
the boot prompt, then type:

unset nvidia_load

Once the system boots then, how do I reinstall the nvidia driver?  That 
last step has me confused.  Would I rebuild the kernel again?  Or something 
else?

 Just a minor point - is 6 actually a stable version?  I was wondering
 whether I've gone and picked up a development version when I should  have

 It's officially a RELEASE, but I won't trust it until 6.3 or later on  a
 production machine.  Unless you're using some really special/new 
 hardware, I would recommend attempting to install 5.4.

Thanks - I'm using extremely non-special and old hardware, so I'll grab
the 5.4 release and start over.  Hopefully I'll have more luck this time...

I will report back.

I (hopefully correctly) assumed you were using NVIDIA's own native drivers 
for FreeBSD as a loadable module (from the x11/nvidia-driver port), if so, 
then after booting without the nvidia module loaded, a portupgrade -f 
nvidia-driver should do the trick (or pkg_delete nvidia-driver  cd 
/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver  make install clean).


But just in case, this is how I upgraded my system; I deleted all the 
ports/packages I had installed (since they have to be rebuilt for 6.0 
anyway) with pkg_delete -a, cvsupped ports and the RELENG_6_0 sources, 
rebuilt the kernel/world, commented out any third party modules (including 
nvidia) in /boot/loader.conf, rebooted and installed all the packages 
(including x11/nvidia-driver) I needed, and that's basically it.

Yes I am using the nvidia driver that is from x11/nvidia-driver.  I guess 
since I don't have the system boot into X, this didn't occur to me.  It 
makes sense that the problem is this driver getting loaded at boot since it 
is in my loader.conf and the CD doesn't have that.


I figured it would be something simple I was tripping on.  Thanks for the 
help, I will try it and see how it works out.

I had the exact same problem on a machine that I know doesn't have any 
hardware problems. I should have just aborted that script when it started 
removing anything dependent on the new gnome libs. If you got as far as the 
new gnome progs installed. Just rebuild  what you need. And use the r flag. 
I'd much rather have a lib not found error than rebuild the way that script 
does.  I'm sure this is going to bite quite a few people before it's over.
FWIW I have the new kde back up with no errors, and I'll just deal with any 
other problems as they occur.

Except it reboot later when rebuilding the KDE stuff with portinstall 
NOT the Gnome script.  And I'm getting occasional segmentation faults on 
Thunderbird and intermittent compiler errors like this one while 
portinstalling kdepim:
then mv -f .deps/eudora_xxport.Tpo .deps/eudora_xxport.Plo; else rm 
-f .deps/eudora_xxport.Tpo; exit 1; fi
eudora_xxport.cpp: In member function `virtual KABC::AddresseeList 
EudoraXXPort::importContacts(const QString) const':

eudora_xxport.cpp:121: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html for instructions.

Something seems wrong.  I don't think a software error should cause a 
system reboot without any log messages anywhere.


Thanks,
Micah
