Re: Can't compile kernel
The custom kernel config file is in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf I did more reading from the FreeBSD website handbook and it said if you installed only the kernel source code that you need to compile the traditional way using: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/config CUSTOM then change to the build directory /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM then run make depend. All of this worked just fine, but now when I run make install I get the following error message: You must build a kernel first. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM. # /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM What is the problem here?

kernel: rl0: watchdog timeout
Since I upgraded to version 6, my server has frozen under heavy network traffic three times. It ran happily for months on various versions of 5. Same hardware, same configuration. There was never anything in /var/log/messages until this last time. This time I found: kernel: rl0: watchdog timeout I don't know what it's trying to tell me, and I don't know if it's a cause or an effect. This is 6.0-STABLE as of late Sunday night. i386. rl0 is my WAN-side interface. vr0 is my internal interface. This machine runs DNS, email, web, NFS host, and several other services. It uses pf with altq. I don't think the system is panicking. It doesn't reboot. It may be freezing. It becomes unresponsive on both network interfaces. When the incident occurs, there's always a lot of simple TCP/IP traffic that's just passing through the box (not NFS, email, web, or anything the box provides on its own) and my first response is to hit the reset button to get it going again. What should I look for? The handbook says to check cables, and they seem fine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Sylpheed Spell Checker Inline Images
My apologies. Installing from source was not a good idea. I now used the ports system and all is well. I should have read some documentation before I came here with my questions. The reason I used the source was the fact that I could not pkg_add the 2.1.7 version of Sylpheed, although it was listed at Freshports. I now added it using 'make install clean' in the ports-tree and although the process took over an hour (no kidding) the program now has all the stuff it depends on. Which leaves me with some other questions: I often can't pkg_add a program that is listed on Freshports (and vise versa). Why is that? Sometimes two different versions of a program have exactly the same 'kg_add -r someprog' command. How is that possible? pkg_add is pretty fast, 'make install' is very slow. Does pkg_add get pre-compiled binaries? thanks again, -- - Jay ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: abcde ripping to mp3 and ogg using different folders
Hi, What abcde does is first rips the files to wav then encodes them to the indicated format. What i've got mine doing is encoding to both .mp3 and .ogg, now it places the files in the same folder, only with different extensions .mp3 and .ogg respectively. What i'd like is to keep the mp3's where they are and to create the same folder as the mp3's are in with a .ogg extension and put the .ogg files in there. I'm a bit new to shell scripting, can you get me pointed in the right direction? Thanks.

The easy way to try it is to kill gdm, or stop it from starting up at boot time, and then create a file called '.xinitrc' in your home directory. It should contain one line 'exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2'. Then run startx from your home directory. No Mike, this isn't true. I just switched to kdm so I could play with KDE, but I still have the option (and am currently using it) of using my old Fvwm2 config. You CAN also run Fvwm from gdm. It should be noted that gdm is NOT a window manager, but a display manager, as is kdm and xdm. They launch window managers for you. Kdm and gdm are just designed to cater to their respective session managers (which is also different than the window managers). Gdm gives you the option of using several window managers (like IceWM, enlightenment, etc) on top of the session manager. Fvwm CAN run with the gnome session manager (and at one time could easily be built with the gnome session manager support build it IIRC). It's been a long time since I even had gdm installed, much less run Fvwm off it, but I know for a fact it can be done. You just have to read the docs to see how to specify your window manager. It may even be possible to swith to Fvwm on the fly through the default WM menus. Ivan, I do know that with kdm, I had to link my ~/.fvwm/fvwm2rc file to ~/.fvwm2rc in order to have it recognized when starting from kdm. Starting it from xdm didn't seem to require that, but for whatever reason, kdm did. Perhaps this might be useful when setting up the ~/.xsession as suggested by Mike? Fvwm2 has a -f parameter that lets you specify the config file explicitly, but remember that any files you read from there should include fully resolvable paths.

If you know the drive devince name /dev/ad3 or something like that, you can just run fdisk on it to read information and write a program (or script) to read its output. Part of that output will tell you the number of sectors on the drive. The information you want is in the third line of the output from fdisk. Ignore the rest of it. Your program then decides if it is what you want and then runs the fdisk to create a single slice and disklabel (bsdlabel) to make the 3 partitions and then newfs on each partition to make the filesystems. It is not difficult code to write (proof: I have done it for our installations). I did it in C because the rest of the installation stuff is already in C, but you could easily do it in Perl or most any language that allows you to run system commands from within the program or script.

Roland Many ports fail if you try to use extravagant make flags like what you would use with Gentoo. The ones that I use for the most optimal performance are: *CPUTYPE?=* (Enter your CPUTYPE here, ex. prescott, p4, etc.) *CFLAGS= -O -PIPE* *COPTFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Place a space between the *=* and your options. These are systemwide commands that all ports will use during the build process. *CPUTYPE?=* An command for applications to be built with code optimizations for your CPU type, refer to the FreeBSD handbook for the different types available. The most common entries are *p4* if you have a Generic Pentium 4 (Northwood, etc) or *prescott* if you are using a P4 Prescott model processor. There are many for AMD also, these are listed in the handbook. *CFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Command optimizations for the GNU C compiler, -O and -PIPE I believe are standard for FreeBSD 6 Release, however I still include them in my Make.conf. -O2 / -O3 are additional options you can use instead of -O, however it is not recommended. I have used -O2 without any issues when building from ports, however I have noticed no difference between -O and -O2. *-O* sets the optimization level, in this case 1. *- PIPE* causes code to be passed between processes using pipes during compilation rather than using temporary files, which has obvious I/O advantages. *COPTFLAGS= -O -PIPE* Optimizational flags used when compiling your kernel, again I stick to what works -O and -PIPE. I have noticed no breakage when using -O2, but then again I have noticed no performance increase on my servers either.

Re: background fsck
what is the rule to decide if filesystem may be background checked or not? for example my / is checked foreground, while /home checked background. can't root partition be background checked too? Last time I checked (5.3:ish), no. I have no clue whether it's intentional. I tried to fix it but never got too far (well, I gave up). If I remember correctly (which is not at all sure since this was a while ago and I did not make notes), it has something to do with the fact that the root filesystem is mounted read-only, and the appropriate flags that are required for background fsck aren't set until a dirty filesystem is mounted read/write. (But again, I may very well be mis-remembering or have misunderstood the code in the first place.) Ever since then I have started partitioning with a small root partition (a few hundre megs, up to a gig or so), a huge /usr and symlinks for /tmp and /var - as an alternative to just one huge root partition. Does anyone want to speak up as to whether the behavior *is* intentional, or just an unintentional bug? -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The easy way to try it is to kill gdm, or stop it from starting up at boot time, and then create a file called '.xinitrc' in your home directory. It should contain one line 'exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2'. Then run startx from your home directory. No Mike, this isn't true. I just switched to kdm so I could play with KDE, but I still have the option (and am currently using it) of using my old Fvwm2 config. You CAN also run Fvwm from gdm. It should be noted that gdm is NOT a window manager, but a display manager, as is kdm and xdm. They launch window managers for you. Kdm and gdm are just designed to cater to their respective session managers (which is also different than the window managers). Gdm gives you the option of using several window managers (like IceWM, enlightenment, etc) on top of the session manager. Fvwm CAN run with the gnome session manager (and at one time could easily be built with the gnome session manager support build it IIRC). It's been a long time since I even had gdm installed, much less run Fvwm off it, but I know for a fact it can be done. You just have to read the docs to see how to specify your window manager. It may even be possible to swith to Fvwm on the fly through the default WM menus. Ivan, I do know that with kdm, I had to link my ~/.fvwm/fvwm2rc file to ~/.fvwm2rc in order to have it recognized when starting from kdm. Starting it from xdm didn't seem to require that, but for whatever reason, kdm did. Perhaps this might be useful when setting up the ~/.xsession as suggested by Mike? Fvwm2 has a -f parameter that lets you specify the config file explicitly, but remember that any files you read from there should include fully resolvable paths. Good luck, and sorry I couldn't provide more detailed help on this.

Force box to become CARP master?

Suppose I want to take the current master offline to do regular maintenance, but I don't want to do so by rebooting the current master. A controlled switch of the CARP master to the hot-spare box is what I'd like to be able to do. 3. How to run a script when the hot-spare becomes the CARP master?

Like 'cat sound.wav /dev/dsp' but without the almost zero signal-to-noise ratio. Any ideas? if it's C program much better (and much faster) way is to simply open file in /dev do ioctl to configure and write to it ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How the heck do you burn a VCD?
Hey folks. This may be slightly OT, but I just downloaded the StarWreck spoof (http://www.starwreck.com), and I'd like to get it burned to a VCD.

How's that for FreeBSD being a better multimedia box? I have checked the disk, and it *does* appear to have been burned - so this is a coaster now. I'm guessing I just didn't understand the burncd manpage in regards to vcd burning.

But this is kludgy and there's been discussion in the core as to try to get someone to write a PCI Express driver that would talk to the bus and would handle the devices the way the buss is intended. You still get weirdness though - for example on several Intel motherboards that have PCI Express that I've run FBSD on, the BSD kernel complains about no interrupt being available for the serial port. But the serial port works anyway. I'm surprised you didn't find this with Google, it's in there. Perhaps look through the mailing list archives?

Instead they are just copying the existing Wintel motherboard designs and porting to that. We don't know that and that is a subject of much speculation. Will they be adopting Wintel motherboard designs or coming out with something different? (ie, BIOS versus that new Intel thing no one uses, etc) We will see when the NetBSD people start porting to the new Macs. We'll see if that is what they do. The internal guts may be the same Wintel motherboard designs or may be different. However, with PPC they never really controlled the HW either as they were dependent on IBM and Motorola. As one of the largest customers of PPC I think that they had a lot more control over it than you are claiming, but that is a point. It is, in fact, a good question - since Apple thinks of itself as a HW company, why don't they make the CPU themselves? Sun does. That is what IBM said and also did. IBM did not come through and had nothing they were working on. Get your facts straight Ted. The low-power Power 970FX cpu which is currently available from IBM uses 16 watts at 1.6Ghz. The speed and power of that chip at 1.6Ghz is far faster than a Pentium running at 1.6Ghz, as has been proven by benchmarking. See the following article titled No More Apple Mysteries, Part Two here: http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2520 After some research, the author found serious problems in how MacOSX is optimized for the PPC. Perhaps if Apples programmers had done the work, they could have used the existing G5 chips in laptops that would be just as powerful as anything that is shipping on the Wintel platform. Whatever you say Ted. Confronted with some facts to the contrary, you have nothing to say I see. I love this arguement - people are buying lots and lots of currently shipping PPC gear so they must be wanting Intel-based gear. You ought to be a politician. people's PPC purchases are a show of faith that the Intel platform will be a success. you REALLY REALLY ought to be a politician! Yes, that is not in dispute. What is in dispute is that you claim that Apple want's people to transition so they can drive a spike in revenue. I claim it is because the long term health of their market demands it -- ie, in order to continuing competing their existing platform was not going to cut it. If that was true the new wintel Macs would use completely different architecture that wasn't hobbled by all the archaic PCisms left over from the IBM PC Jr. We will see if that happens. Right now what it looks like is a quick port of MacOS X to some wintel motherboards that have a security chip in them that MacOS X requires in order to boot (to prevent people from buying cheap PC clones and running MacOS X on them) and a big marketing campaign with a lot of song and dance about poor Apple how we have to move to the x86. I have always understood it Ted. Understanding it and agreeing with it are two different things. You claims are utter BS Ted. History does not support it (based on previous transitions). Nor does logic. Nor any other set of facts. That about sums up your argument - you don't agree with something, so you claim what you don't agree with is BS. or they made a business decision to switch because the PPC was no longer a long term viable architecture for their needs (Chad). Btw, your theories don't pass Occam's Razor either. You add complexity to Apple's decision when the simplest is Apple's stated public reason. Most successful ways of making money don't pass Occam's Razor. If they did, then making lots of money would be so simple and obvious that everyone would be doing it. It was just an interesting observation. And I think a valid observation since people who ascribe all sorts of complexity to actions that can be described in much simpler terms are usually wrong. If it was a valid observation you wouldn't be here, you would be lying on your yacht somewhere trying to figure out what to do with your billions. And, the theory of we move to wintel to make a big pile of money sounds pretty simple to me anyway.

There is also another site here: http://news.com.com/2061-10795_3-5762319.html although I will admit this is 5 months old - please cite a more recent article where nvidia has reversed their policy? As Mike Harris eloquently said a couple years ago: Nvidia doesn't release their technical specifications for their hardware to *anyone*, not even under NDA (non-disclosure agreements). One might be tempted to think well you have the source code though right?, however the source code isn't enough. None of the video hardware registers are documented, instead they are programmed as a series of random magic numbers, so you have absolutely no idea what the purpose of a given register is, that is getting written seemingly random information into it in the driver. The driver is for all intents and purposes obfuscated unless you have the hardware documentation which turns numbers like 0x3432 into a useful name like NVIDIA_SUCH_AND_SUCH_REGISTER with documentation of WTH that register actually does. That's the long story, the short story is, that even though the nv driver is open source, it is more or less supplied as-is and the only way it gets updated is if Nvidia updates it, because nobody outside Nvidia has the foggiest clue how their hardware works. So if a card isn't supported, that's unfortunate. If 2D doesn't work, that's also unfortunate. By reporting bugs that occur in the nv driver to http://bugs.xfree86.org, the bug report will get assigned to Mark Vojkovich, who is the official driver maintainer, working at Nvidia, who has access to pretty much every Nvidia card ever made, and the technical specifications to go along with them. If he can't fix the bug, then more or less, nobody can. Not without getting hired by Nvidia to work on the 'nv' driver. ;o) Micah, if this has changed, please cite where. I myself also happen to have a system with an onboard nvidia card so I really am interested, not just trying to flame-bait.

This for me would cross that card off my list. Just to correct this bit of mis-information, there are two drivers available for nvidia. The nv driver is an open source driver provided by xorg, and the nvidia driver is a closed source driver provided by nvidia.

RE: Status of 6.0 for production systems

Laptops are always more expensive, and much more fragile. Do you honestly think that laptops make up the bulk of Apple's sales today? Yes, Ted, laptops are fragile, but they are also a very important part of ANY computer manufacturer's lineup and a growing part of their mix. Go read the sales stats Ted. For any PC manufacturer the laptop is growing greater than the desktop. That is because there's very few clone laptops. The PC market overall is growing. Assuming that growth is evenly distributed among clone (white box) makers like the corner computer stores and the national makers like Dell, and evenly distributed between laptops and desktops - the lack of laptops from the corner computer stores is going to mean ALL computer manufacturers will see a high growth in sales of laptops compared to desktops. This doesen't mean a higher percentage of the market is switching to laptops. It means that the national makers like Dell are losing a lot of desktop sales to cloners. Also keep in mind that sales growth is a figure like accelleration Suppose you and I get on the drag track, your in a 1000 cc Kawasaki motorcycle and I'm in a top fuel dragster. We both start at the same time. For the first 200 feet, your accelleration, or growth in the sales parlance, will be greater than mine. But at the end of the race your going to be going at 100Mph and I'll be over 200Mph. Laptop growth right now is higher than desktop growth but unless it stays that way for another decade, the percentage of laptops in service compared to desktops will still be smaller. Laptops are important for Apple right now because they allow Apple to offer a full service product line - in short, there's places where you need a laptop and if your a Mac user you will need an Apple laptop. But I don't think Apple is expecting that it's going to see it's desktop sales volume drop below it's laptop sales volume in the future. Unless of course Apples laptop sales growth stays higher than it's desktop sales growth for as long as it takes to change the volume ratio (probably 20 years) If Apple really only cared about pushing more kit (instead of creating and nurturing a growing market over the long haul) don't you think they would have come out with a G5 laptop if it were possible? Your presuming that they have the technical know how to do so. I always posted the info on the low-power 16 watt design, and you ignored that because it didn't fit your world view of Apple. If Apple uses wintel designs in it's future laptops, that pretty much proves that they are as far as they can go in personal computer design. Compaq went through this 20 years ago, early in the DOS 2.0 days the DOS for Compaq machines was different than the DOS for IBM machines - because Compaq had a complete set of architecture designers and their Compaq XT computers at the time were really different than the IBM ones. Eventually Compaq found they couldn't keep up with the changes that all the cloners were making and gave it up, and then their designs reverted to the same thing everyone else was doing - basically just copies of each other. Apple may be in that boat now, we won't know until people start taking apart the new x86 Macs. In fact it may be that we are both completely wrong about this and the real reason Apple went to the Intel chip is because they just can't keep up anymore with the motherboard companies who are doing wintel motherboards, and all the future Macs will be wintel with a few additions (like the security chip) Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, I'm really a newbie with this vcd stuff, so a little leg up would be appreciated. TIA Lou Look in the handbook under opticle drives on how to make ISO's What, really? I haven't been able to find any indication that the VCD format was nothing more than an xvid AVI file in an iso filesystem. VCD format isn't xvid. For the most part, anything you burn to a DVD or CD should be done as an ISO file, especially if you want the CD to work with other OS's or DVD players :) VCD format is 1150 kbit/sec MPEG-1 at 352x288 pixels (PAL) or 352x240 pixels (NTSC). If the file isn't in this format--and given that it's an Xvid, that seems unlikely--he won't be able to make a VCD out of that file without conversion. Figures it would be so painfully simple - that'll play on my DVD player? Depends on your DVD player and the codecs used for the VCD. If its encoded right it should, if not then start learning mencoder and the art of re-encoding. Mencoder comes with mplayer and you should find a mail list that caters to that sort of thing if your interested. I don't think codecs really come into play with VCDs. They must be mpeg1 video (and a few other limitations on audio--Google can probably help find all the specifics.) No DVD player I know of will accept a VCD formatted cd with mpeg-4-like content. Some DVD players will play CDs with a standard ISO filesystem that includes an xvid file, but these are generally the odd cases. As stated earlier in the thread, this would require making an ISO using mkisofs and burning that with burncd. Unless he has one of these special case players, then he'll almost certainly have to learn how to use mencoder, as you suggest. Thanks for the pointer.
