There are specific instructions for other supported O/Ss but none for FreeBSD. I have Googled and searched; not exhaustively I hope. There has to be something out there.

Problem regarding Bash 3.1.10

Normally I whould have [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this seems to have changed when I ran portupgrade, currently it is like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ when I'm in my homedir. The problem is when entering a long path, or a directory which hasn't been renamed properly yet, for example when I'm in ~/tmp/\[Nipponsei\]\ Shakugan\ no\ Shana\ Original\ Sound\ Track my shell becomes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp/\[Nipponsei\]\ Shakugan\ no\ Shana\ Original\ Sound\ Track]$ which leaves absolutely no place on the line for my commands, which I think is very anoying. I read the man and looked up if I could find something in .bashrc but I didn't realy know what to look for. So my question is; how can I set bash so it will be visible in the old way ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ?

Re: Second ISO Image
It contains all the binary package files (*.tgz) for the additional ports in the distrib that sysinstall offers to let you choose at install time. If you select additional ports for installation that are not part of the canned distribution sets (gnome, for example, or emacs), sysinstall will prompt you to change the disk when it needs those binary packages. I see it as a quick and safe way to get some of the most commonly used binaries installed on your system without downloading and building them from sources through the ports collection. But for some of the programs you may land up with a version slightly older than what you get by building from the sources. Only the most widely used ones out of the 14,000+ ports are available as binary packages on disk 2.

For all architectures except ia64, the disc1 image now contains the base system distribution files, ports tree, and the live filesystem, making it suitable for both an initial installation and repair purposes. (On the ia64, the live filesystem is on a separate disk due to its size.) Packages appear on separate disks; in particular, the disc2 image contains commonly packages such as desktop environments.

Re: Problems with SCSI
On many newer motherboards you can enable or disable the SCSI in the BIOS. You should make sure the SCSI is enabled. If the SCSI is enabled you should get a message from the SCSI BIOS to hit some keys to enter the SCSI configuration. This is all using the Motherboards firmware and independent of any Operating System. You should be able to check your SCSI configuration and see what SCSI devices the controller has found. If your CD is not found, check the settings, termination and cabling. -Derek At 08:58 PM 3/3/2006, David LeCount wrote: I recently purchased a Tyan S2895 motherboard and more recently a Hitachi SCSI drive.

It's very common to see long running machines have swap used, even if in normal operation they have plenty of free memory. An one-time, or occaisonal, occurance of low memory will cause things to get swapped. Many processes have memory they use rarely, if ever; idle processes also don't need to be swapped in until they become non-idle.

How to figure out who shutdown box

Re: Problems with SCSI
Okay, now we're getting somewhere (maybe). Looking in the CMOS for firewire, I finally found the SCSI controller setting. I never would have guessed it would be under PCI configuration. Anyway, I enabled that, and I disabled firewire, both ethernet ports (I use wireless anyway), and both SATA channels. I'll have to enable one of the SATA channels later since I have a new SATA drive, but for now I want to keep it as simple as possible. Also, I have the mpt device built into my kernel, along with scbus and da. Still, FreeBSD does not list a da device, dmesg doesn't show anything about mpt, and there is no information displayed on boot about SCSI drives. It's as if the SCSI controller is still disabled, even though I enabled it and saved settings. (I went back into CMOS to verify it was still enabled.) Know any other settings that could be disabling it?

SVIDEO with Intel 915
Hello. I got this laptop (AOpen 1559) running FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE. It uses the Intel 915 chipset for visuals. There seems to be an SVIDEO out on the laptop also. My question is then: Can I display my screen on my TV somehow? I do have an SVIDEO cable. I tried installing NVTV when I thought I was running an nVidia card. But that didn't work. People say this works on Windows. Doesn't it in FreeBSD?

Re: Problems with SCSI
If the SCSI is enabled you should get a boot message and be able to go into the SCSI configuration. All SCSI controllers will list the devices found on boot, so if you aren't seeing any devices you don't have it working right. Check the BIOS again and check your cabling, and termination. -Derek At 09:49 AM 3/4/2006, David LeCount wrote: Okay, now we're getting somewhere (maybe).

Re: Problems with SCSI
I see no SCSI adaptor messages whatsoever. Upon boot, it goes directly from the BIOS post message to the FreeBSD boot manager. I tried hitting ctrl c repeatedly but it still just went to the boot manager. I've tried connecting the hard drive to each of the two SCSI channels, and not plugging it in at all. The cable is terminated, of course. I browsed through everything in the CMOS and didn't see anything else that looked relevant to the problem. I guess I'm going to have to contact Tyan, which is disappointing because they seem to only do e-mail and probably won't get back to me for several days. I dread the thought that I may have to send the board back, but it's not looking good. If you guys come up with any other ideas in the meantime, let me know.

Problems with mysqld running from /etc/rc.local in FreeBSD6
Hi Please excuse me for my ignorance, as I am fairly new to FreeBSD. I have a FreeBSD 6.0 running on a test system. I successfully installed mysql5 server from the ports collection. Now to make it start during the boot process, I created a file /etc/rc.local and entered the complete path of the mysqld_safe (/usr/bin/mysqld_safe if I am not wrong) in the same file. I later realised that this is not the correct way to start mysql daemon, but the problem is that I did not make any changes to the /etc/rc.local file. Now when I reboot the machine, the boot process simply stops after starting mysqld daemon. It will not go away even after trying Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Q or Ctrl-Break. I tried sshing into the machine from another system, but it seems that sshd is not up yet, so I can't just login and change the /etc/rc.local file. It is pinging the test machine without problems, so atleast the network interface is up. How do I go about wither bypassing the commands written in the /etc/rc.local file or editing /etc/rc.local file to comment out the offending mysqld line. If it is of any significance, I am running a software Raid1 setup on my test system.

Re: Problems with mysqld running from /etc/rc.local in FreeBSD6
I solved this problem by booting into the Fixit mode using the installation Media (in my case the first CD of FreeBSD 6). Once inside the Fixit mode, I mounted the root partition and changed the contents of the file. Seems pretty easy on hindsight, although I don't knwo if it has broken my software Raid1 setup.

Determining proper order to upgrade
I'm one of those masochists who insists on manually building all my pakages from the ports collection without using automating software like portmanager. Typically I upgrade my ports collection with cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/supfile-that-I-made-for-ports then run pkg_version -v -L '=' to get a list of what I need to upgrade. Then I pkg_info -o name-of-each-port to find out where the port lives in the ports collection, go there, and then use make with whatever custom options I need to upgrade it. The trouble I have is when one or more of those low-level ports that everything else depends on gets upgraded. I can spend DAYS building and rebuilding ports until everything gets built with the most current dependencies. I'm familiar with the -r and -R switches for pkg_info, and they are a huge help in this situation, but I'm wondering if anybody has written a script that will take a list of packages to be upgraded, examine their dependencies and what depends on them, and then return a sorted list of every installed package that should be rebuilt in order to keep the dependencies current. I don't want something to automate the whole process - just something to help me out with determining which ports are affected and what order they should be rebuilt in. Some of those port management packages must have something like this internally. I guess I could go look there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Software RAID-1 FreeBSD 5.4
Hi, This is on FreeBSD 5.4 latest stable snapshot on January. I've followed the instructions at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html for creating software RAID, which appears to have been successful. the raid created, and synched, couple of reboots all is good. So I wanted to test it out, I've unplugged one of the drives and rebooted, however, I've received the error: ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 mountroot It doesn't matter which disk I unplug, it gives the same result. I've attempted to remount: ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a ufs:/dev/ad6s1a ufs:/dev/ad4s1a no luck. so I looked over: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html and added the 'options GEOM_MIRROR' to Kernel, then recompiled, installed and restarted, the machine would hang completely just when loading the AD drives.

Yes, of course it is running. Logging out and logging in solves this issue, but the point is here that even a single user without root acces can be hiding. He can do anything and nobody will notice that he is even loggod in. We discussed in the list that /var/log/wtmp helds the login states and only suid programs can access it, e.g. screen or login.

If you want to write a better driver, knock yourself out. I'm sure Bill Paul won't mind. Keep in mind that there are other, better performing NICs available for the about same price. Most RL8139 cards work fine in our company. Most Windows PCs have these cards (slowly replaced by integrated NICs on new motherboards), also some FreeBSD-based routers have these NICs. ___ Likewise fine here, the fact windows outperforms freebsd with realteks should be enough embarrasement to warrant a rewrite. A realtek 8139 can easily do full 100mbit with no packet loss but just uses higher cpu utilisation, also its not always easy to say to a datacentre swap the card for diff brand. I like freebsd a lot, but my most worrying thought is their attitude to low end hardware, alot of 486 and 586 class and low end 686 class machines fail to boot in 6.x and everytime this is brought up the hardware is blamed and advised to replace, great if you loaded with cash. The comparison with linux is they maintain support for old hardware. But I guess telling people their card is trash (when it isnt) is easier then rewriting a driver, I cant rewrite as I have no knowledge of coding. here is a quote from the linux 2.6 driver notes. The 8139too driver is based almost entirely on the on the 8139 driver written by Donald Becker. It has a few operational changes, most of which are flawed or pointless. MMIO vs. PIO operation The 8139 is mapped to both PCI I/O and memory space. Using I/O space is traditional on x86 architectures, and most drivers are written to use this mode. However, using the memory space mapping (MMIO) is more efficient for isolated writes since these are stored in a write buffer and the processor can continue execution without waiting for the PCI operation to complete. An added advantage is the processors without native I/O operations avoid extra address space calculations. A problem with using this MMIO mode is that the 8139 has different access alignment restrictions with memory space, and the write buffer potentially changes the ordering of command writes and subsequent memory reads. The 8139too driver attempts to work around the latter problem by doing a read immediately following a register write. Not only does this completely eliminate the advantage of having a write buffer, it doubles the overhead over just using I/O operations! Added Spin-locks The 8139too adds spin-locks. However, as with so many of the 2.3 spin-locks, it added them without considering if they were actually needed. The only code with a potential conflict is when reading and writing MII registers. But the 8139too driver supports only the 8139, which has an internal transceiver that is directly accessed by registers reads. So no spin-lock is needed! The rx_size patch The 8139too driver adds a patch taken from the BSD driver. This patch claims to fix a bug in the Rx ring: when copying a packet into RAM, the length will be 0xfff0. But the BSD bug is an artifact of that driver trying to avoid PCI bus operations by guessing if a packet has arrived, rather than following the documented method of check the RxBufEmpty status. The BSD method is more efficient. Checking the next entry and guessing can potentially save one or two expensive PCI transactions per Rx packet. But (as they found out) it is prone to races and failure. The Linux driver never encounters this problem, but the BSD bug fix was blindly added anyway. I see they taken something from the bsd drivers but are the other optimisations mentioned in the bsd driver?

Re: How to print in duplex mode?
On Fri, 3 Mar 2006 08:57 am, Mikhail Teterin wrote: Hello! I'm trying to use less paper by printing on both sides of each sheet. The printer is capable of duplex printing, but all the postcript I send to it ends up printed single-sided. The original PS is generated by a web-browser. I then try to use enscript's pstops utility, but can't figure out its page-specification language :-( Cups and psutils have pstops but I can't see any in enscript. Assuming you are talking about the version from psutils, then I believe this just orders or select pages for printing. To the best of me knowlege it is not capable of setting your printer into duplex mode. Duplex mode is usually controlled by some printer/manufacturer specific job control wrapper around the postscript such as HP's JPL. There may also be postscript commands which will switch to duplex but these are also likely to be somewhat printer specific. Briefly a generic solution for postscript printers is unlikely. But there are print systems that understand about specific printers and insert the job control wrapper. I believe the simplest way to achieve what you want is probably to install the Cups print system. Then something like: % lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename should work. Would someone have a ready example: pstops 'MagickSpell' input.ps duplex.ps How is this mystical command line constructed? Is duplex.ps some library file you obtained from somewhere? If it contains PS commands to switch to duplex it would probably need to appear ahead of your input.

Packages/Ports
Hello, Wouldn't it be nice if, when a product (e.g. leafnode in this case) is ported to freeBSD -- not sure why this particular one needs to be ported but... -- the porter would either adhere to the man pages or would change the man pages to agree with the changes made? I've used leafnode and it's progeny for many years. I just updated to freeBSD 4.11 (no, I'm not going to update to 5.x much less 6.x) and had to re-install leafnode. Even made a partition for /var/spool/news so that it won't fill up the other spool directories. Guess what? That partition is totally empty? Why?, I asked myself. According to the man pages, that's where it should be putting the news articles. But a search reveals that they're going to a directory called /var/spool/leafnode. Is it really asking too much that software in teh packages and ports collections should agree with the manpages that come with that software? It's very frustrating to find man pages that may as well be for different programs instead of the documentation for what has been installed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Problems with SCSI
This comes with OPTIONAL SCSI interface, u sure you got the board with the SCSI option ? Well it has two SCSI ports on the motherboard, has an option to enable/disable it in the CMOS, and was advertised as having a SCSI Ultra 360 controller. If it doesn't, I want my money back. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813151149 How do you have the CD drive cabled? That motherboard has 68-pin SCSI connectors, and SCSI CD's mostly have 50-pin connectors, there are a few with 68-pin connectors, but it isn't common. It's not a CD drive, it's a hard drive. It is indeed a 68-pin. It's as simple as plugging it in. Do you have the CD terminated, and the SCSI on the motherboard's termination set correctly? There is a terminator at the end of the cable. If you're asking about something else, then I don't understand what you mean. You need to check a jumper on your motherboard, the jumper is: J92 This jumper effects the onboard SCSI. This is in the manual on page 13 It is open, which is the default. Enable the boot-time diagnostic screen, enable the summary screen as well, and check the boot device priority. If you have SCSI enabled correctly this will be a choice to boot from it. These are on page 54 I've done all that. The summary screen doesn't show any SCSI drives, although I don't think it showed my SATA drive either but it's definitely working. I couldn't tell what the diagnostic screen setting did but I enabled it. The boot priority list is actually an oddity It does list PCI SCSI but beside it it lists my SATA drive, not the SCSI drive. I am certain of this because it lists it as a Western Digital drive but my SCSI drive is a Hitachi. I am really confused why it lists the SATA drive under SCSI. When I disable SATA, it doesn't list a drive beside SCSI, although the option is still there in the boot priority list. I'm not sure what the deal with that is. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

FreeBSD detected as: # dmesg | grep ums ums0: Mitsumi Electric Apple Optical USB Mouse, rev 1.10/1.08, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 4 buttons and Z dir. Here is what I have done till now, since I want to use it in X and FreeBSD (to copy and paste), I added usbd_enable=YES to my /etc/rc.conf, so the moused utility is up and running # ps axw | grep mouse 268 ?? Is 0:04,44 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid and the copy and paste works fine, since it has 4 buttons, no need to emulate the third (middle) button. So, in X I configure the sysMouse protocol: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol SysMouse Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 6 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection maps ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 6 SMP APIC lock up
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I decided to spend the day upgrading my Dual Pentium Pro 200 system from FreeBSD 4.9 to FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE. Unfortunately, it looks like my system is no longer supported. With APIC and SMP compiled into my custom kernel (essentially GENERIC with SMP and a lot of stuff turned off), I get a lock up during boot: ... unknown: PNP0303 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0c01 can't assign resources (memory) unknown: PNP0501 can't assign resources (port) unknown: PNP0401 can't assign resources (port) unknown: IBM37a0 can't assign resources (port) Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec .. Locks up here .. If I use GENERIC with APIC, I can get past this point, but the system is VERY slow. It takes an hour or so for the system to completely boot to the login. !! With GENERIC and APIC disabled, the system works fine and boots to the login at a normal speed, about a minute. But no SMP of course. I have played endlessly with the BIOS options, disabling all unnecessary options, etc, with no luck. Also, there are no upgrades for my BIOS. Any ideas/hints/suggestions? I would hate to have to go all the way back to 4.9! Thank you, - -- .. | Cameron Lerch, Victoria B.C.

I have found portmanager to be more intelligent. When you run it it takes a look at all installed ports and then it decides what order to upgrade the ports and their dependencies. Portupgrade proceeds linearly and you may need to run it a few more times for everything to be upgraded. At least that's how I understand it. But the -rR tells it to look at all of the dependancies and build them if they need to be. In addition, if something depends on it, it will also build them. I don't see any differance. Further, the assertion by [EMAIL PROTECTED] that portupgrade requires multiple passes is just plain false. I upgrade over 230 ports on my laptop with one command. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
