 Advantage of Amanda, if I understand well, is that you don't need to
 install anything on your Windows machines.

 I have been using Amanda to backup various Unixes and Windows for
 years now and it is very satisfactory.

 I even wrote some web interface so that Windows user could add some
 shares to back-up, without any sys admin help. OK that bit has not
 been tested with XP...

  This information is very important, but you only say windows, but i
like to know wich one...? All...?
   Because i want to try bacula+mysql-5 to backup 1 win2k3, 2 WinNT4
and 1 Linux box.
  I try once bacula on freebsd 5.4-p8 with bacula using some simple
tape drive and backup the win2k3 box and it works, but my doubt is
winNT4+Linux, you have some winNT4+Linux on your list with bacula or
amanda...?

Flash no longer displayed in Firefox

2005-12-10 Thread edward

Hi,
I recently upgraded my ports collection with portmanager. In the 
process, Firefox has been upgraded to 1.5_3,1. The problem is that Flash 
media is no longer displayed in Firefox (plugin is reported as missing).


I have linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 and linuxpluginwrapper-20051113 
installed and the linux emulator is active.

I assumed the libmap.conf file could be outdated, so I did a :
cp 
/usr/local/share/examples/linupluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-stable 
/etc/libmap.conf
Still no luck. For all it's worth, QuickTime and Windows Media content 
still play fine on Firefox via Mplayer.

FreeBSD 6.0 is no less stable than 5.4.  It's also quite a lot faster.
If anyone is installing a new machine, the choice is a no-brainer: 6.0.
If you're upgrading, then you'll have to balance the time and effort
needed and the downtime for your servers against the benefits you can
gain.  6.0 generally looks pretty good in that comparison.

Cheers,

Matthew

 Mike,
 Thanks for your answer.

  You allready have the answer, you said it works when you build from
  ports. If you don't want to always rebuild openoffice when you upgrade
  ports mark it as ignored in pkgtools.conf.

 I already did - just because I don't want to compile OOo. Building OOo-2
 on a PIII/1,13 isn't very funny. :-). OOo-1.1 was a little nightmare,
 especially because it took me a while to succeed - you'd surely find on
 google ;-). Last but not least, I don't have 9 free GBs. Really. :-)

 I just don't understand why the package I mentioned requires openssl,
 because I can't see any dependency on openssl, neither for building nor
 for running.


 A third way would be to use the ports openssl-beta as systems default?

 Ben

  -Mike

 Your better off leaving openssl set to the one in base and building from
 source anything that depends on openssl.  The problem with packages is you
 are at the mercy of how someone else built them.

Mike,

Yes, but this case is a little strange, isn't it? Nobody else is
wondering, there actually is no dependency on openssl, using the ports
openssl, even a beta may be a litte uncommon (?) and I think this URL I
mentioned is the main source for getting OOo as a package.

Despite the problem I face, thanks to Nakata Maho at this point for his work.


 I also don't see where the openssl dependency is comming from and have to
 take your word for it the package of open office you tried had one.

Short and clear ;-):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] pkg_add
/data/software/freebsd/OOo_2.0m143_FreeBSD60Intel_install_de.tbz
pkg_add: could not find package openssl-beta-0.9.8a !



 If your installed open office was built by you and works I highly
 recommend
 you back it up, something like

 pkg_create -b /var/db/pkg/openoffice.org-2.0.0_1 and save the resulting
 openoffice.org-2.0.0_1.tgz somewhere safe.  Now if in the future yoy want
 to upgrade it again from source and it doesn't work you always have a
 known
 good copy to fall back on.

That sounds interesting. I never used pkg_create. Thanks for your hint,
I'll have a look at this and look for a fast compiling machine :-)!

Thanks for your response!

Best,
Ben

Re: openoffice-2 openssl-beta-0.9.8a

2005-12-10 Thread Michael Wichmann
Hi Benjamin,

I had the same problem. The solution to this problem for me was the
portupgrade -o option to replace openssl-beta with openssl-stable and
update all the dependencies. Have a look in the portupgrade man page.
There is an example how to use this option. For me it looked something
like 'portupgrade -o security/openssl-stable openssl-beta' to get rid of
the beta dep.
Actually I don't know at what point openssl is important to openoffice
and if this might lead to some issues. However, I didn't have any
problems so far.
Greetings,
Mike

 Somebody else has pointed out that this was stated the wrong way

 the file systems are mounted.

  You can install the linux threading package under FreeBSD's linux
  emulation and try it that way.

 I don't think this is a useful option.  Linuxthreads might be, though.

  Keep in mind also that you are talking minute performance
  differences on the newest multi-gigahertz systems.

 It would be nice if this were true.  We've seen claims of performance
 differences in the order of 3:1.

  Furthermore I will point out that unless your database is smaller
  than physical memory of the server, then the argument between mysql
  threading and non-threading is a completely moot issue since the
  hits to the disk will be the bottleneck.

 Many database systems are CPU-bound.


Well yes they are, normally due to poor or zero tuning of the queries
etctuning RDBMS's is a science in itself andcan be quite specific tothe

Linuxpluginwrapper is borked. Here's what you need to do:


## Workaround for broken port linuxpluginwrapper.

## Before building linuxpluginwrapper:

rm -R /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins



Re: Projects List page

Saw the newly posted list of projects that need volunteers.  One
project in particular caught my eye:

http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/#p-pxeinstaller
(FreeBSD PXE Install support)

I do not see an email contact regarding this, has anyone started
working something like this?


In the bottom is a list of people associated with a group of projects, 
so I guess you can write to one of them and ask and/or volunteer.


I don't know what exactly they have in mind, they write good PXE 
knowledge is required, but I see the main task to provide a good UI.


I see two things to do:

1) preconfiguring a server
2) configuring the pxe-install

1) is the easy part: You just need the live disk to be preinstalled with 
isc-dhcpd (or similar) and tftp preconfigured. I guess ftp-install would 
be the viable method using an external ftp-server, else a native ftp 
server should be preconfigured and populated with install files.


The problem is 2) It's fairly easy to create a memory disk boot image 
that is fetched with tftp.


The problem is that this contains the script file that scripts the 
installation and that script should be customizeable. The script is a 
sysinstall script and sysinstall is largely undocumented in this regard.


Further sysinstall, AFAIK, is regularly suggested for an overhaul, and 
it is at least listed for a minor update on the project list.


So, in my point of view, the obvious solution would be to work on 
sysinstall, adding an option save configuration which would generate 
the script. Then we only need to save it in the memory disk image.


I don't know if the listed network people are reading this, or maybe 
those who are not yet responsible for sysinstall.


But I would be interested in working on this... (well, not exactly 
sysinstall as much as the easy parts :-)


Cheers, Erik

FreeBSD5.4 - GUI fails

2005-12-10 Thread arnuld
hello,

I will be as brief as i can on explaining my problem:

1.) here is my architecture:

i.)AMD64 - processor
ii.)ASUS K8V-MX - motherboard
iii.)LG 17'' Studioworks 775N - monitor
HorizSyns = 30-70 kHz
Vertsync  = 50-160 Hz
Resolution Max. = 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz

IV.)  i do not know about video-card but when FC-4 istallation uses
anaconda to
   probe the video-card of my system, it shows: vesa driver
(generic)


2.) I have FreeBSD-5.4 CDs for x86 architecture. regarding this i posted
the question on FreeBSD mailing-list  many
 people told me that these same CDs will work on AMD64 because AMD64 is
backward compatible with 32 bit
 computing.

3.) PROBLEM:

I tried to install it on my system and got the following results:

  i.)FreeBSD is installed (i did all ports/packages installation)
but some packages (total 6) could not be installed,it says installation
failed,  they are:

a.) php
b.) apache
c.) 1 more package related to apache
c.) apache-mod+perl
d.) bash
e.) 1 dependency of bash

all of these raise error-code 1. except these 6 everything else
like GNOME, KDE, emacs, xpdf, gv is installed without any problem

  ii.)FreeBSD boots with login prompt: only in shell mode,no GUI at
all. ( in freeBSd handbook section 2.9.12 i came to
 know  that X server configuration fascility has been removed
since 5.3 release, so i go to chapter 5 to configure X
 myself)

  iii.)I configure GUI by using: Xorg -configure. It creates a file
named xorg.conf.new in my current directory which is
 root's home directory. Next if i try to: Xorg -config
xorg.conf.new, my screen goes blank with the message OUT OF
 FREQUENCY  with message something like:

Frequency:
HF 75 Hz ( i do know whether it is Hz, KHz or GHz)
VF 60 Hz
operating frequency:
HF 30-70 Hz (again i do not know)
VF 50-160 Hz

  iv.)What i do is 1st add the lines HorizSyns 30-70, VertRefresh
50-160 (fom monitor-manual) into monitor section 
 Modes 1024x768 into display section of xorg.conf.new 
then use the same command to configure it. it works
 and shows a yellowish desktop with 1an X and X moves as i move
my cursor.

v.) Then i use xdm command to enter into GUI, of course it enters into
GUI with prompt
box names Welcome to 1  with login name  password , i enter both
of then  then i press enter. screen goes off
   for a second and reappears with same Welcome 1 box. I enter login
name and password again and same thing
   happens. i press ctrl+Alt+backspace 2 times and go back to shell
mode.

   vi.)   i came to know in section 5.7 that GNOME is disabled by
default,so i enable it by adding gdm_enable=YES
  into /etc/rc.conf  and then reboot my machine, after that i
again use xdm and same thing i explained  in
 previous step, happens. (but FreeBSD Handbook says no further
configuration is required, after enabling GNOME,
it will work without any problem BUT i do have a problem)

vii.) I tried another thing ( to use GNOME directly)as explained in
'chapter 5 of FreeBSD handbook. i create .xsession
  file rather than .xinitc (as freeBSD uses xdm). I put a line
/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session into it.

then i enter into shell the following command

# % echo #!/bin/sh  ~/.xsession

after pressing enter it says /bin/sh: event not found. ( i made a check
into /bin directory, sh file is present there). anyway i use startx and
it takes me to a yellowish desktop with one login shell and 2 xterm shells
(all are like bash shell). but no menu, no icons, no GNOME or real desktop
thing. i enter commands emacs, ggv, gv etc.) and all of these application
open in GUI mode but it is disgusting. also icons of this desktop are too
small to be seen.

i reboot and the try xdm and same thing Welcome to 1 as in step v
happens but no GNOME. May you please help on this? Please tell me whether
this is a hardware issue or do i need to do some configuration.

thanks in advance.

arnuld

Such things are better handled in /etc/devfs.rules. Put the following
ruleset in /etc/devfs.rules:

[localrules=10]
add path 'da*s*' mode 0660 group usb

And activate the ruleset in /etc/rc.conf
devfs_system_ruleset=localrules

Of course, you can choose any ruleset label instead of localrules.

resolve appends domain section of hostname to non-existent domains

2005-12-10 Thread Ruben Bloemgarten
Hi all, 

 

Could anyone let me know what's misconfigured here:

 

When I ping from say server2 # ping jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com I get the
following reply :

 

PING jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com.mydomain2.com (ip.of.server.1): 56 data
bytes

 

64 bytes from ip.of.server.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.594 ms

64 bytes from ip.of.server.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.427 ms

 

The same happens from server1; it appends it's domain name to the incorrect
domain

 

# ping jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com

 

PING jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com.mydomain1.com (ip.of.server.1): 56 data
bytes

 

64 bytes from ip.of.server.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.594 ms

64 bytes from ip.of.server.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.427 ms

 

 

Server2 is running multiple jails behind ipf/ipnat on 5.4-Release.

Server1 is not running jails or ipf/nat. on 5.2.1-Current 

 

Server1 responds on both systems, which are in the same subnet at the same
colo.

 

A dig from both systems does reply correctly, stating that
jkhdsfkhdsafhjsahfdhksa.com does not exist. Which leads me to feel that it
would most probably be hosts file related. As the hosts file on both systems
are not doing anything weird i.e.:

Server2: ip.natted.lan server2 server2.mydomain2.com server2.mydomain2.com.

Server1: ip.static.wan server1 server1.mydomain1.com server2.mydomain2.com.

 

Although, as dns has already taken place (on existing domains it does
resolve correctly), it would seem that something is happening after
hosts-dns- (not using nis). 

 

 

So I'm pretty much at a loss here. Any help is very much appriciated. 

 

Regards, 

Ruben

 i386 works in 32-bit mode,  AMD64 works in 64
 bit mode.
 
 If it's going to be a desktop, be aware that
 some important ports don't work 
 on the latter.

I've yet to see any real evidence that 64-bit
mode has any advantage at all, and I've seen lots
of evidence that its a lot slower than 32-bit
mode. It may be one of those things like putting
32 tires on your car; It might seem like a good
idea on paper but in practice it falls on its
face. I suspect that that larger data structures
reduce the usefulness of the caches and the
negatives end out signficantly outweighing the
positives.

Unless you just need to do some 64bit
multiplication of course.

 YEAH, the information is good, except for the symlinked browser_plugins.
 You should not do this. That is, when I'd done this this week, mozilla
 wouldn't start anymore. Error 76 on X. It stook me quite some time to
 find out that the symlinked plugins dir was to blame. I removed the
 browser_linux_plugins and mozilla worked again. All plugins just are in
 browser_plugins. Having a REAL browser_linux_plugin dir does not harm
 the system.

The symlinks are working for me but I agree it is a bad idea. Would be much 
better if the www/linuxpluginwrapper put things where they belong that way 
they will be properly cleaned up when the port is deinstalled.  My point 
though, was if things have to be manually fixed up before or after installing 
a port there is a way to automate that so on the next upgrade hopefully 
things will keep working.

 By chance any of you built the Perl w/

64 bit integers are a data type and have zippo to
do with 64bit mode operations. Of course a 64bit
processor can handle a 64bit integer in one

CPU, but the entire point of a compiler or

 We use Intel's dual ports gigabit adapters in
 dell's servers with 
 freebsd 6 without any problem.
 
 They are supported by the em driver

Note that 1x PCI-E isn't fast enough to fully
support gigabit speeds. Its about equivalent to
running on a 32bit bus performance-wise. You need
4x to get full gig performance.

In other words, if your MB has a PCI-X bus also,
use it instead.

partion and fs advice...

2005-12-10 Thread Jeff D. Hamann
I've just recieved a new laptop and need (yes actually need) to run both 
winxp and freebsd. I've got software on both systems and need to be able to 
access data on one of the other. I have a 100GB hard drive with XP installed 
onthe first 20 GB and my question is this:


What file systems can I choose from to be able to create a partition I can 
read/write from both FreeBSD and WinXP.


It's been too long since I've tried to have my cake and eat it too and I'm 
not sure if there are drivers out there for reading extfs from win32 and 
vice-versa. I need to have a common (hopefully *NOT* a DOS partition) place 
for data (databases, scripts, etc.) and would like to have two partions for 
the OSes so something like,


20GB - windows xp
20GB - freebsd
60GB - data/scripts/etc (would be the D drive for winxp and the /usr/home 
for freebsd)


The laptop has 2gb ram (not sure if that's important) and a real niec lcd 
screen and more ports than i've ever seen on a machine (sager 3880)


I'll need lots of space for compiling ports (GRASS, postgis, R, etc.) and 
really, REALLY, *REALLY* don't want to use cygwin anymore.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Check out pkg_create. You could use that to create packacges from
installed ports on the fast maschine, and then installing those
packages on the slower machine(s).

Using some creative scripting, this could be done pretty transparently.

The thing you have to remember about Denial is that the ONLY THING he

I don't use this, but 6.0 is probably the way to go there too since
there were architectural improvements that could not be merged back to
5.x.

Well thats just hogwash Kris. Pure bridging
performance is a measure of the efficiency of the
kernel to do rote tasks like respond to
interrupts, and the latencies in performing those
tasks. Its the best way, IMO, to exercise and
measure the efficiency of an isolated kernel. It
requires no userland activity, so your results
aren't muddled by millions of system calls. Its a
way to compare apples to apples, which is how
good testing is done.

As long as you don't have your filesystem on a
network, you're in good shape. But thats not even
the point. The point is that the purpose of
tearing apart 4.x was to go MP, and MP
performance is dismill across the board. I would
expect some things to be a lot better with the 3
years of work, but the goal of having an
efficient MP O/S is as far away as it was with
5.1.

This statement is simply false.  It's actually quite funny to read.

For the readers at home: Denial is once again taking his narrow view

fast the kernel routes network packets!) and extrapolating it to

 Which problem?

There have been some performance issues with MySQL on newer versions

problems.  It's only a guess that either is related with threads.
Many more people are using MySQL and FreeBSD 6 with no problems.

Yeah, the bootloader loads, then seems to try and load the kernel, 
and then fails.  But it doesn't do it with a bunch of corrupted

Removing a port without upsetting dependencies

2005-12-10 Thread Ian Moore
Hi,
I have mplayer installed and at one stage I installed the mplayer-skins port 
as well. Then I got sick of dealing with the skins port being broken a lot 
because the source files are often unfetchable, so I removed the port (I 
can't remember what method I used to do that now).

Ever since,  when I do a portupgrade  mplayer or various ports that it is a 
dependency of get updated, my ports database gets upset because those ports 
are marked as having mplayer-skins as a stale dependency.

For example, today I have:
Stale dependency: mplayerplug-in-3.17 -- mplayer-skins-1.1.2_1 -- manually 
run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to force.

I generally either delete the dependency or link it to mplayer-gtk-esound, but 
the dependency comes back next time mplayerplug-in gets updated.

I assume I've just used the wrong method for deleting the mplayer-skins port  
I need to re-install  delete it the correct way. If I'm right, how should I 
do that?

If not, is there a way I can permanently remove the mplayer-skins port and not 
have it appear as a dependency of other ports?

Cheers,

On this amr array with 4 disks, write performance is up to 150 MB/sec
on the device with multiple processes writing to the filesystem.  This
makes it a good testbed because there's a lot of room to observe
scaling under varying loads.

Yes, I've noticed that too.  It also occurs in 4.11 and 5.4, but is
about 50% less severe on 4.11.  The ULE scheduler is much better in
this respect, but processes run about 5-20% slower under most loads.

 completely braindead, but I'm sure it'll be up to the standard of Linux
 distros 2001.

Ahemm, speaking of sound... how about a, *cough*, working MIDI sequencer?
Any way to attach a MIDI device to 5.x or 6.x _and_ being able to record
from it? Anything workable yet? No? Am I missing something crucial here?

 I would suggest a song about Pokemon sex toys.

Still need help getting PCBSD to read my SD card and Jumpdrive

2005-12-10 Thread Enrique Nieves Jr.
Thanks for all your suggestions.   I'm trying to get PCBSD to work 
properly with external media on a KDE environment.  If anyone can 
explain why PCBSD KDE only configured my cd rom and hard drives, but 
left out a multi card reader (SD, CF, SM, MS) that's connected to the 
motherboard, although I think it's to one of the USB connections.  I use 
a SD card from my camera, and also I can't get the USB connections on 
the front of the box to read my Lexar 1GB Jumpdrive.  These media have 
Windows files.  I appreciate the help I got from many of you to be able 
to read my floppy drive and CD ROM.

   Good information!  To automate this with portmanager you can add

   -s /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins
   /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_linux_plugins|
 
  YEAH, the information is good, except for the symlinked
  browser_plugins. You should not do this. That is, when I'd done
  this this week, mozilla wouldn't start anymore. Error 76 on X. It
  stook me quite some time to find out that the symlinked plugins dir
  was to blame. I removed the browser_linux_plugins and mozilla
  worked again. All plugins just are in browser_plugins. Having a
  REAL browser_linux_plugin dir does not harm the system.

   Ya know, I'm almost to the point where I'd pay real money to
   be able to play  real, windows, and mp? files ((audioo))
   with mozilla andor firefox.  It's hopeless.  Even on my
   ubuntu testbox, the config messes up. When realplayer can
   play dog/doze media, they get 5 gold stars.

   (*sigh*)


One of the sad parts is that half of the real plugins for firefox are 
only available on Windows 2000/XP. 

You have all of these sites that don't test their web pages via a modem 
and then, can't understand when people are unhappy because their flash 
features take 5 minutes to start doing something. Last I read was that 
only 15% or so of the people have DSL or faster. The other 85% are 
being ignored. 

I maintain the computers in a genealogy center. I have to wait until 
people are through before I can become the administrator and update the 
virus signatures. While I am waiting, I listen to music on my mp3 
player and watch what people are doing. I think most of the people 
start fiddling with the mouse after 20 seconds of inactivity and after 
20 more seconds, you have lost them.
