Re: Enabling sound?

2006-07-22 Thread Dylan Cochran

 I don't get the pcm0 lines that section 7.2.2 in the manual talks
 about.  cat /dev/sndstat returns:
 FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
 Installed devices:
 and nothing else.


The driver isn't attached to the device, either because the pci id's
don't match or the card isn't using an emu10k* chip. Please type
pciconf -l -v and reply with the portion that matches the card.



 kldload snd_emu10k1 yields no output whatsoever.  When followed by cat
 /dev/sndstat it produces the same outputs as above.

 kld_load snd_driver yields:
 ppc0: parallel port not found.
 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x20
 sio1: port may not be enabled
 ppc0: parallel port not found.
 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
 sio1: port may not be enabled
 ppc0: parallel port not found.
 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
 sio1: port may not be enabled
 ppc0: parallel port not found.
 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

 sio1: port may not be enabled
 ppc0: parallel port not found.
 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0

This is because snd_driver kldload's EVERY known sound driver,
including ones for ISA. Hence the use in the handbook of only using it
to find the driver for your card. (Blind probing ISA is a quick way to
crash an older machine)



 I recompiled with the sound and emu10k1 drivers commented out, and the
 kldload and cat /dev/sndstat commands still yield the same.



compiling the kernel with those options is almost exactly the same as
kldloading it after it boots.


 I need to get sound enabled on this box, so I can do some online
 training provided through streaming video.  Please, please, please tell
 me I don't have to break down and install wankers on this thing ...


pciconf -l -v will be the best bet, at least you'll have a better idea
of what you're dealing with.


isab0: PCI-ISA bridge at device 10.0 on pci0
.
.
.
pci3: multimedia, audio at device 10.0 (no driver attached)


IIRC, and I'm really not 100%, that the older emu10k1 cards used a
pci-isa bridge to the actual device (I'm away from my machine with a
working one of those cards, so I can't confirm that's normal, though I
recall seeing that in dmesg).



I've re-compiled my kernel yet again to remove the sio device, since
this thing has no 8250 or 16[45]50 serial ports on it, which got rid of
the error messages in dmesg I was seeing about the port not being
enabled and the IRQ not mapping.

It also has no parallel port on it -- can I remove the ppc, ppbus, lpt,
plip, and ppi devices without breaking anything else?


NO, you can't remove ppbus in 6.1 or any previous versions I've tried.
And it's a quick way to kernel panic on boot (the note in the GENERIC
kernel comments agrees with me, it IS required for i386 at least for
now).



The only peripheral ports this thing has on it are USB2.

I'm pretty much stuck with a custom kernel on this machine, since the
wireless network I'm on requires WEP, and the wlan_wep module would need
to be loaded by hand if I went with the generic kernel and module
loading ... which would also mean hand-starting dhcpclient and ifconfig,
since both will fail at boot-time without wlan_wep.  All the wireless
stuff works just fine with ath, ath_hal, ath_rate_sample, wlan, and
wlan_wep compiled into the kernel.


You don't really need to do this, though it's irrelevant to the problem at hand.

You can use/boot/loader.conf can load ko's at boot time before the
kernel is loaded, /boot/defaults/loader.conf has examples at the
bottom. typically it's module_load=YES

You can also add a shell script to  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that will
load it and add a tunable in rc.conf that will enable/disable wireless
on boot, just add a BEFORE: netif line. Use rcorder /etc/rc.d/*
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/* to make sure your script is before netif (this
will make sure the drivers are loaded before dhclient and everything
else).



The only thing I can't seem to get working is this blasted sound card.
I wouldn't even worry about it if I didn't have to do this stupid flash
based video training crap (why can't they just send me TFM so I can R
it?!?). *sigh*


I hope this helps, if you understand C and how pci works you can use
the pci id output that pciconf provides and modify the #define
EMU10K1_PCI_ID  0x00021102 line in /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/emu10k1.c
to match it, this will force the driver to try to bind to the card.
This may not work, it's not supported, and definately DON'T link the
driver to the kernel (ie, don't add a device snd_emu10k1 line to the
kernel config) in the off chance it causes 

DHCPd Will Not Listen on the Correct Interface

2006-07-22 Thread Serban Giuroiu
Hello, everybody.

I have a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a machine with several NICs, 
and I need to run different DHCP servers for different subnets on different 
NICs. I installed isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.4_2 from ports with the default 
options enabled (of importance: DHCP_PARANOIA and DHCP_JAIL).

These are the interfaces I need to run DHCPd on:

fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500
options=8VLAN_MTU
inet6 fe80::2d0:b7ff:fee1:620f%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
inet 172.16.2.9 netmask 0xfc00 broadcast 172.16.3.255
ether 00:d0:b7:e1:62:0f
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
status: active
rl0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500
options=8VLAN_MTU
inet6 fe80::250:baff:fed1:a75a%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xfc00 broadcast 10.0.3.255
ether 00:50:ba:d1:a7:5a
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
status: active

According to the man page, dhcpd takes as a last argument the interface it 
should bind to. I run one dhcpd for the interface rl0 like so:

/usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -cf /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf.rl0.10.0.0.0 -lf 
/var/db/dhcpd.leases.rl0.10.0.0.0 -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid.rl0.10.0.0.0 -user 
dhcpd -group dhcpd rl0

ps ax | grep dhcp shows it running:

20463  ??  Is 
0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -cf /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf.rl0.10.0.0.0 -lf 
/var/db/dhcpd.leases.rl0.10.0.0.0 -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid.rl0.10.0.0.0 -user 
dhcpd -group dhcpd rl0

However, it binds to all interfaces, not just rl0. netstat -nat | grep 67 
confirms this:

udp4   0  0  *.67   *.*

Naturally, I cannot start any other DHCP servers on the other interface:

# /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd -cf /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf.fxp0.172.16.0.0 -lf 
/var/db/dhcpd.leases.fxp0.172.16.0.0 -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid.fxp0.172.16.0.0 
-user 
dhcpd -group dhcpd fxp0

Re: Upgrade PHP

2006-07-22 Thread Matthew Seaman
mamrg wrote:
 Hi,
 
 First of all my apologies for the lame question, but i have this FreeBSD
  server in which i have to upgrade PHP from 4 to 5.
 
 I've read about the ports, but got a little confused.

 Can you tell me please how can i make the update ?

Hmmm... this will take a little more effort than is usual when dealing
with the ports.  But not a huge amount more.

First, identify all of the ports that use php -- you want anything that
is a dependency of the core lang/php4 port.  You need a command something
like the following, except you will have to alter the version number to
match what you have installed:

% pkg_info -R php4-4.X.Y

Something like this:

% pkg_info -R php4-4.4.2_1 
Information for php4-4.4.2_1:

Required by:
oscommerce-2.2r2
pecl-pdflib-2.0.4
php4-bz2-4.4.2_1
php4-gd-4.4.2_1
php4-mbstring-4.4.2_1
php4-mcrypt-4.4.2_1
php4-mysql-4.4.2_1
php4-pcre-4.4.2_1
php4-session-4.4.2_1
php4-zlib-4.4.2_1
phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3

This will get you the right list of ports to deal with.  Now, you need to
replace each of those ports called 'php4-something' with the equivalent
'php5-something' port.  You need to do the base php port first:

% cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
% make config   (Note: make sure 'Apache' is 
checked here)
% portupgrade -f -o lang/php5 php4-4.4.2_1

Remember to tweak that version number to match what is on your own system.
After you've done that, there should be a file /usr/local/etc/php.conf
that contains the following:

% cat /usr/local/etc/php.conf
PHP_VER=5
PHP_VERSION=5.1.4
PHP_SAPI=cli cgi mod

Now go ahead and replace all of the php4 modules with their php5
equivalents.  You need to find the origin of each php4 module, and then
translate it into the php5 equivalent. eg:

% pkg_info -o php4-mysql-4.4.2_1
Information for php4-mysql-4.4.2_1:

Origin:
databases/php4-mysql
% portupgrade -o databases/php5-mysql php4-mysql-4.4.2_1

Do that for each of the php4-something modules.

Next, and somewhat optionally, reinstall all of the PECL libraries and
PHP applications you've installed.  ie. anything on that list of
dependencies without the php4- prefix.  This isn't strictly necessary for
anything that is pure PHP code and that involves no compiled stuff, but
it shouldn't hurt. eg:

% portupgrade -f pecl-pdflib-2.0.4
% portupgrade -f phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3
% portupgrade -f oscommerce-2.2r2 

 Is it necessary to mess with Apache too ?

Yes.  You should stop apache before starting on this whole exercise,
obviously.  Before you fire it up again, you need to make sure that
it is loading the PHP5 module rather than the PHP4 one.

Check for lines like this in the apache config files:

LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so

(Again, mutatis mutandem depending on the version of Apache you're
running)

The Apache config files may well be automagically edited for you,
but the 'LoadModule' line could well have been put in commented out,
which you'll want to uncomment.

Then fire up Apache and test, test, test until you're sure everything
is working OK.

Cheers,

Matthew

Do you have a particular reason to run two daemons separately?

In your dhcpd.conf you can specify multiple subnets and just start the
daemon, dhcpd will send a reply matching the subnet of the interface a
request was received on. It won't send replys on subnets it have no
configuration for.

The only advantage I see of your approach is that you can shut down the
daemons separately, but I have never had a situation where I needed that

Areca RAID Card.

2006-07-22 Thread Nikolas Britton

The motherboard I just bought, SuperMicro X7DBE, has both PCI-X
133MHz/64-bit and PCI-Express 8x slots, I can't decide what version of
the Areca card to get... I'd like to see some benchmarks of the
ARC-11xx (PCI-X) Vs. the ARC-12xx (PCI-Express).

The PCIe device has a faster bus (PCIe 8x = 2000MB/s) but PCI-X is
tried and true and not too shabby (PCI-X 133/64 = 850MB/s) ether.

I have the option of ether a 1130ML (Infiniband connections) or a plan
jane 1230. I've had troubles with SATA cables in the passed so the
1130ML is very desirable from this stand point. Another thing I'm
worried about is the 1230 will have to much weight on the PCIe 8x slot
because of all the SATA cables. and routing them all is a pain. Does
anyone have a source for an ARC-1230ML? On the other hand I've never
tried the latching SATA cables yet... but the ARC-1130 is $40
cheaper...

I'll sleep on it for now... Thanks all.

A recent discussion on the list showed a lot of support for Dovecot - it
should be easy to setup for a single domain. I use Cyrus, but I might
try out Dovecot if it supported virtual domains.

If you ever need to migrate between various imap servers because you
redecide, then you can create a perl script to move the mail using the
imap protocol, then you don't need to care what server is running.

What FreeBSD users really want

2006-07-22 Thread sammy sumer

To Whom It May Concern:

Greeting from Australia

I commend your efforts and your success. Following are some gripes with
FreeBSD and ideas to fix them.

I have been using FreeBSD for a few years. I have also played with lots of
Linux distributions but still FreeBSD is my first choice as a computer
system admin and backend web developer.

But you know what pisses me off about FreeBSD? It is the little things.

Every Linux Distributor in the world is hard at work reinventing the
interface and making the Linux as user friendly as possible but we're still
dogged by turn of the century hassle with our FreeBSD.

Here is what I would fix:

1.Reinvent the installer and interface.

Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane. There
is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer and
why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis
TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation.

2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.

PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not
have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can
easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on
FreeBSD.

Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular
and ugly programming language in the world.

It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that
millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as
their O.S of their choice because of PHP.

3.Content Management Website

anyone visiting your site for the first time.

There are outstanding open source CMS like Joomla, Mambo, eZ Publish, Drupel

Don't get me wrong, I love FreeBSD and I always remain loyal to it. I love
the unique port collection concept for third party application installation.

Thanks

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Sammy,

It is really nice that you have told us yourt insight on the matter. I
would also like to express my ideas. Please read my replies inline.

On 7/22/06, sammy sumer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

This is not correct. The only distros which are working hard to get
the interface more friendly are thoes which has some kind of earning.
Just for example, if you check slackware, they still have a barebones
interface. Secondly FreeBSD community only looks after the base tree.
And as per my knowledge, the interface is something external.



 Here is what I would fix:

1.Reinvent the installer and interface.



This is not a bad idea. But again is that really worth the trouble.
The existing interface works perfectly. So why fix something which is
not broken. BTW, by reinventing if you mean to say that make the
installer go graphical, then there is a small problem. You are making
the installer more heavy which really has no value.



 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.



This would be a very good idea if you have something call
FreeBSD-Web_Edition which is not the case. FreeBSD hosts all kinds of
services. Therefore the more things u put in stock OS, there would be
more points of failure. BTW why do you feel that the existing port
system is not adequate?


 PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not
have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can
easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on
FreeBSD.


Perl is no less popular. Specially Perl had been around far longer
than PHP. But FBSD does not have perl in stock installations either.
Primarrily for the idea of Keep It Simple.



Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular
and ugly programming language in the world.


It may be ugly, but its a really fast way to implement small
operations. And FYI, we system admins swear by shell scripts.



It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that
millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as
their O.S of their choice because of PHP.


Do you have this documented?



3.Content Management Website

Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression for
anyone visiting your site for the first time.



Well we recently got the website look changed. Did you like the
earlier view? Would you please tell us what you mean by ordinary and
what kind of website would be more acceptable to people in generaly.
Please consider the fact that sometimes all you have is a text based
browser to refer to the handbook when you are stuck up in the middle
of an installation. So please provide your comments considering the
same.



Don't get me wrong, I love FreeBSD and I always remain loyal to it. I love
the unique port collection concept for third party application installation.



Of course not. The biggest asset of FreeBSD is its users. So as a user
you have full rights to express your insight.

Thanks and Best Regards

The driver isn't attached to the device, either because the pci id's
don't match or the card isn't using an emu10k* chip. Please type
pciconf -l -v and reply with the portion that matches the card.

So, at the very least, FreeBSD knows there's *something* there, it just 
doesn't grok what it is that's there.
I hope this helps, if you understand C and how pci works 
I grok some C, but I've never dealt with PCI peripherals before.  I've 
only ever coded at the application level.

you can use
the pci id output that pciconf provides and modify the #define
EMU10K1_PCI_ID0x00021102 line in /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/emu10k1.c
to match it, this will force the driver to try to bind to the card.

That would be the chip=0x00071102 piece?


This may not work, it's not supported, and definately DON'T link the
driver to the kernel (ie, don't add a device snd_emu10k1 line to the
kernel config) in the off chance it causes a strange hard lock
problem.

Good luck :)

Thanks, I'll give it a go and see what happens. :)

Re: problem to establish SSH connection from inside jail to the outside world

2006-07-22 Thread S. Wagler

Hi,

yes, devfs is mounted.

I've tried to connect from within the jail via telnet to the SSH port 
of the foreign host, which opens the connection successfully and 
shows the version number. So, the connection was established 
correctly and I think the problem with the pseudo TTY device is more 
or less correct. I also get the following error, while being logged 
in via suexec:

This has been beaten to death a zillion times. Please read the archives
for opinions and why this won't happen any time soon.

 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.

Why? Install from ports and you're done. There might be licence issues
that prevents it from being included in base. And it drags the
development down. You've got to understand how the FreeBSD development
differs from that of Linux.

The linux distros pull in a lot of stuff from everywhere and make that a
distro - there is no such thing as a base system. Then some install php
by default.

In FreeBSD there is a complete system, base, maintained by the FreeBSD
development team. Adding more stuff to base means that development will
slow as there is more code to be maintained and checked before a new
release can be made. And there is no benefit - just install from ports.

Maybe what you want is that one of the predefined distributions you can
choose in the installer includes php? There is nothing that prevents you
from installing it as a package.

 PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not
 have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can
 easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on
 FreeBSD.
 
 Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular
 and ugly programming language in the world.
 
 It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that
 millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as
 their O.S of their choice because of PHP.

Read above - just install php from ports and you're done! csh and sh
included in base are essential and sufficient to get basic stuff done at
startup, you want to make sure that the system at boot depends on as
little complexity as possible, this allows you always to get the basic
system up so you can resolve any problems.

Running core system scripts in a third party language is insane. Even
bash is not in base. Perl was removed from base. Keep the system clean
and you will have it reliable. Then add all the other stuff on top.

 3.Content Management Website
 
 Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression
 for
 anyone visiting your site for the first time.
 
 There are outstanding open source CMS like Joomla, Mambo, eZ Publish,
 Drupel
 just to name a few out there that let you build a very quick and
 professional website in no times

The website had a thorough brushup less than a year ago, so you won't
get anywhere with this. And, taking resources for yet another brushup
may slow development.

A CMS doesn't make the site look more or less professional, it lets you
manage the content as the name suggests. Who knows, certainly some kind
of content management is done .. but we can't see that. Joomla and
others are well known for their security problems.

A lot of people consider FreeBSD as primarily an OS for use as a
mail/file/web server, so a graphical installer is not necessary.  The
text mode installer is looking a bit dated and could be made to look
more polished, but I don't think this is a big deal.

 why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis

Why?  Installing FreeBSD from CD only takes about 15 minutes on a modern
machine.  Faster if you do a minimal install.

A disk image wouldn't allow people to exlude parts of FreeBSD they
don't want to install, eg. X Windows.

ISO disk images of the entire OS ans selected binary packages are
available for burning to CD though.

I already use Python for this, but I wouldn't want Python to be in the

version of Python.

If you've used Python for a while you'd probably notice how much more
suitable it is for what you describe, compared to PHP.  I recommend you
check it out.

Corrupt MBOX

2006-07-22 Thread Gerard Seibert
For whatever reason, once the size of any MBOX in /var/mail exceeds
approximately 30M it becomes corrupt. Qpopper refuses to deliver the
mail. Attempting to open the MBOX with pico causes a warning about 'file
with long line' being issued.

I have both postfix and procmail installed. I am fetching the mail from
remote sites via fetchmail. I have tries removing both fetchmail and
procmail and having the mail delivered directly to my server, but the
problem still exists. The situation was the same when I was using
sendmail as opposed to postfix.

I have other files on the drive that exceed this size and they are not

Hi,
   I would recommend dovecot. It's capable of both imap as well as pop if 
you later want to add that and can do encrypted versions of those protocols 
as well. Dovecot is also in my opinion much easier to configure and less 
resource intensive than other imap servers.

   If i can be of any assistance let me know.
Thanks.

 Hi,

 First of all my apologies for the lame question, but i have this FreeBSD
  server in which i have to upgrade PHP from 4 to 5.

 I've read about the ports, but got a little confused.

 Can you tell me please how can i make the update ?

Hmmm... this will take a little more effort than is usual when dealing
with the ports.  But not a huge amount more.

First, identify all of the ports that use php -- you want anything that
is a dependency of the core lang/php4 port.  You need a command something
like the following, except you will have to alter the version number to
match what you have installed:

% pkg_info -R php4-4.X.Y

Something like this:

% pkg_info -R php4-4.4.2_1
Information for php4-4.4.2_1:

Required by:
oscommerce-2.2r2
pecl-pdflib-2.0.4
php4-bz2-4.4.2_1
php4-gd-4.4.2_1
php4-mbstring-4.4.2_1
php4-mcrypt-4.4.2_1
php4-mysql-4.4.2_1
php4-pcre-4.4.2_1
php4-session-4.4.2_1
php4-zlib-4.4.2_1
phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3

This will get you the right list of ports to deal with.  Now, you need to
replace each of those ports called 'php4-something' with the equivalent
'php5-something' port.  You need to do the base php port first:

% cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
% make config   (Note: make sure 'Apache' is
checked here)
% portupgrade -f -o lang/php5 php4-4.4.2_1

Remember to tweak that version number to match what is on your own system.
After you've done that, there should be a file /usr/local/etc/php.conf
that contains the following:

% cat /usr/local/etc/php.conf
PHP_VER=5
PHP_VERSION=5.1.4
PHP_SAPI=cli cgi mod

Now go ahead and replace all of the php4 modules with their php5
equivalents.  You need to find the origin of each php4 module, and then
translate it into the php5 equivalent. eg:

% pkg_info -o php4-mysql-4.4.2_1
Information for php4-mysql-4.4.2_1:

Origin:
databases/php4-mysql
% portupgrade -o databases/php5-mysql php4-mysql-4.4.2_1

Do that for each of the php4-something modules.

Next, and somewhat optionally, reinstall all of the PECL libraries and
PHP applications you've installed.  ie. anything on that list of
dependencies without the php4- prefix.  This isn't strictly necessary for
anything that is pure PHP code and that involves no compiled stuff, but
it shouldn't hurt. eg:

% portupgrade -f pecl-pdflib-2.0.4
% portupgrade -f phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3
% portupgrade -f oscommerce-2.2r2

 Is it necessary to mess with Apache too ?

Yes.  You should stop apache before starting on this whole exercise,
obviously.  Before you fire it up again, you need to make sure that
it is loading the PHP5 module rather than the PHP4 one.

Check for lines like this in the apache config files:

LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so

(Again, mutatis mutandem depending on the version of Apache you're
running)

The Apache config files may well be automagically edited for you,
but the 'LoadModule' line could well have been put in commented out,
which you'll want to uncomment.

Then fire up Apache and test, test, test until you're sure everything
is working OK.

or you can have both php4 and php5 in your box.

Re: What FreeBSD users really want

2006-07-22 Thread Jim Stapleton

Every Linux Distributor in the world is hard at work reinventing the
interface and making the Linux as user friendly as possible but we're still
dogged by turn of the century hassle with our FreeBSD.

 Here is what I would fix:

1.Reinvent the installer and interface.

Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane. There
is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer and
why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis
TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation.




To my experience, especially with application installation, linux has
still yet to approach FreeBSD, let along Windows in this manner. As
for the OS installer, ok, it's not pretty to look at, and it's far
from perfect (fdisk needs a lot of work for one - it has issues with
some hardware, but it's well beyond my skill level to work on sadly).

As for the disk imaging technology... Do you have _any_ clue about
what goes into installing an OS? To my knowledge, no variant of Linux,
Windows, etc. uses disk imaging technology. There is a very good
reason for this - it doesn't allow for a lot of necessary
customisation without a lot of extra complication in the installer.

However, while a GUI installer would be nice, as stated to me in a
previous email, a lot of people know this would be useful, but the
manpower required for such a project is immense compared to what is
available from people with the required skills.



 2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.

 PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not
have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can
easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs on
FreeBSD.

Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least popular
and ugly programming language in the world.

It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact that
millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as
their O.S of their choice because of PHP.


No offense, but, it doesn't even integrate BASH. I had to install the
bash package so I wasn't stuck to CSH, and BASH is much more popular
than any PHP shell. (Wait, is there a PHP shell? I know there is a CLI
interpereter, but that's different). Regardless, if it's in ports
(which it probably is if there is such a thing), then just install it,
not very difficult at all.

Also, PHP is extremely large and slow compared to things like CSH and
BASH.  Thus, if only one is being chosen, PHP would be a pretty low
choice: the idea of BSD is to start with something relatively minimal
and build it up to what you need, so you aren't stuck with excess
clutter you don't need, as you often see in most other operating
systems. Integrating such a shell would be very contradictory to this
philosophy, and waste a lot of resources for people who don't want
that waste, or don't have them  to spare.

Also, just because you can't see a reason to use/learn SH doesn't mean
others can't. I knew PHP long before SH, and I still prefer it for a
lot of things, but SH has a lot of important advantages that cannot
easily be chaned (for one, it is almost ubiquitous, except in windows
and Mac OS  X).

Also, can you actually pull numbers to support your statements about
popularity and lack thereof? There are less popular languages than SH
(which, by the way, is the glue of UNIX), and to be honest, last I
checked, C and Perl were more popular, by far, than PHP.


Oh, and I use PHP for my websites and run some on BSD without issue.
All I had to do was take one trivial step after syncing ports, which
is the first thing I do in FreeBSD:

$ cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
$ sudo make install clean


VIOLA, PHP in no time!




3.Content Management Website

Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression for
anyone visiting your site for the first time.


Yeah, it's great, I don't have to deal with a lot of crap and clutter
to find what I need. Personally, I think it could be simplified more,
but hey, nothing is perfect. No matter what the website is, it will
always have some people that don't like it. To be honest, I think it's
far enough away from the BSD philosophy as is, and your suggestion
would only move it further.

To be honest though, the simplicity and lack of crap made an
impression on me and a few that I know, and a good one. Remember, not
everyone is like you, and just because something doesn't appeal to you
doesn't mean it won't appeal to others.




One thing to remember, I've been in BSD for only about 6-8 months, but
I figured it out pretty quickly: the idea behind BSD is to have a
minimal and functional operating system that allows a user to easily
build up to what he or she needs to do a task effectively. You do have
to put some effort in, but this helps keep machines secure (by not
having unknown and useless [for the user] things on them that could

Re: What FreeBSD users really want

 Every Linux Distributor in the world is hard at work reinventing the
 interface and making the Linux as user friendly as possible but we're
still
 dogged by turn of the century hassle with our FreeBSD.

  Here is what I would fix:

 1.Reinvent the installer and interface.

 Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane.
There
 is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer
and
 why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis
 TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation.



To my experience, especially with application installation, linux has
still yet to approach FreeBSD, let along Windows in this manner. As
for the OS installer, ok, it's not pretty to look at, and it's far
from perfect (fdisk needs a lot of work for one - it has issues with
some hardware, but it's well beyond my skill level to work on sadly).

As for the disk imaging technology... Do you have _any_ clue about
what goes into installing an OS? To my knowledge, no variant of Linux,
Windows, etc. uses disk imaging technology. There is a very good
reason for this - it doesn't allow for a lot of necessary
customisation without a lot of extra complication in the installer.

However, while a GUI installer would be nice, as stated to me in a
previous email, a lot of people know this would be useful, but the
manpower required for such a project is immense compared to what is
available from people with the required skills.


  2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.

  PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not
 have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can
 easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs
on
 FreeBSD.

 Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least
popular
 and ugly programming language in the world.

 It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact
that
 millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as
 their O.S of their choice because of PHP.

No offense, but, it doesn't even integrate BASH. I had to install the
bash package so I wasn't stuck to CSH, and BASH is much more popular
than any PHP shell. (Wait, is there a PHP shell? I know there is a CLI
interpereter, but that's different). Regardless, if it's in ports
(which it probably is if there is such a thing), then just install it,
not very difficult at all.

Also, PHP is extremely large and slow compared to things like CSH and
BASH.  Thus, if only one is being chosen, PHP would be a pretty low
choice: the idea of BSD is to start with something relatively minimal
and build it up to what you need, so you aren't stuck with excess
clutter you don't need, as you often see in most other operating
systems. Integrating such a shell would be very contradictory to this
philosophy, and waste a lot of resources for people who don't want
that waste, or don't have them  to spare.

Also, just because you can't see a reason to use/learn SH doesn't mean
others can't. I knew PHP long before SH, and I still prefer it for a
lot of things, but SH has a lot of important advantages that cannot
easily be chaned (for one, it is almost ubiquitous, except in windows
and Mac OS  X).

Also, can you actually pull numbers to support your statements about
popularity and lack thereof? There are less popular languages than SH
(which, by the way, is the glue of UNIX), and to be honest, last I
checked, C and Perl were more popular, by far, than PHP.


Oh, and I use PHP for my websites and run some on BSD without issue.
All I had to do was take one trivial step after syncing ports, which
is the first thing I do in FreeBSD:

$ cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
$ sudo make install clean


VIOLA, PHP in no time!



 3.Content Management Website

 Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression
for
 anyone visiting your site for the first time.

Yeah, it's great, I don't have to deal with a lot of crap and clutter
to find what I need. Personally, I think it could be simplified more,
but hey, nothing is perfect. No matter what the website is, it will
always have some people that don't like it. To be honest, I think it's
far enough away from the BSD philosophy as is, and your suggestion
would only move it further.

To be honest though, the simplicity and lack of crap made an
impression on me and a few that I know, and a good one. Remember, not
everyone is like you, and just because something doesn't appeal to you
doesn't mean it won't appeal to others.




One thing to remember, I've been in BSD for only about 6-8 months, but
I figured it out pretty quickly: the idea behind BSD is to have a
minimal and functional operating system that allows a user to easily
build up to what he or she needs to do a task effectively. You do have
to put some effort in, but this helps keep machines secure (by not

The PCIe device has a faster bus (PCIe 8x = 2000MB/s) but PCI-X is

I have the option of ether a 1130ML (Infiniband connections) or a plan

1130ML is very desirable from this stand point. Another thing I'm
worried about is the 1230 will have to much weight on the PCIe 8x slot
because of all the SATA cables. and routing them all is a pain. Does
anyone have a source for an ARC-1230ML? On the other hand I've never
tried the latching SATA cables yet... but the ARC-1130 is $40
cheaper...


I was just looking at the difference between the 1130 and the

I just ordered an 1120 from http://www.topmicrousa.com/controllers--

Will be needing an 1130 myself soon I think.

Can't help you with the 1130 vs 1230.  I would think the PCIe would

Searching a drive and copying files

2006-07-22 Thread Joshua Lewis

Hello List,

I have a two part question for anyone who may be able to help.

I need to search my drive for all pictures on my system and copy them  
to a networked system using sftp or ssh or what not. There will be  
duplicate names on the drive so I was hoping to have dups placed in a  
separate folder. Due to my for lack of a better term stupidity when I  
first got my camera I will probably have instances when there will be  
three or four duplicates. If anyone can help me out with that it  
would be great.


Second is there a resource online I can use to learn how to do my own  
shell scripting?


My goal is to find all my pictures and compare them then delete the  
dups that don't look that good. A daunting task as I have 20 GB of  
data. I bet 10 GB are dups.


Thanks for any help.

Sincerely,
Joshua Lewis

Well, I'm still not getting any further.  I pulled the SB Live! card out

Information I can glean from looking at the SoundBlaster card:
   On the board:
   Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit
   Model: SB0410
   On the chips:

  Cirrus Logic CS4382-KQZ WAEXAR0452

Everything else on there seems to be simple resistors, caps, and maybe a 
mosfet or three.


Changing emu10k1.c so that the definition of EMU10K1_PCI_ID matches what 
pciconf -l -v found gets the module to recognize that there's a card 
there, and then it pukes on the ac97 stuff (which confuses me since this 
card claims to be ac97 compliant and the Cirrus chips is there ...)
  pcm0: Creative EMU10K1 port 0xcf00-0xcf1f irq 18 at device 10.0 on 
pci3

  pcm0: AC97 reset timed out.
  pcm0: ac97 codec invalid or not present (id == 0)
  device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6

Looking through sound/pcm/ac97.c I can see that the reset() function is 
failing, and the id = line in the ac97_initmixer() function isn't 
recognizing the chip on the board.


I got a SoundBlaster Live! because it was listed as a known working 
piece of hardware.  Apparently this is a newer version of the board that 
isn't supported yet.  Getting it to work is becoming a PITA beyond what 
I have the time and willpower to put in right now.


Is there a piece of sound hardware I can just run down to CompUSA and 
buy, that I can drop in here and get this thing working with *today*?

consistent. Take a look here: http://tnx.nl/php.

sh scripting is a low level standard across other Unices.

The only thing I wish I had learned so much sooner was set autolist in my
.cshrc. I didn't know it was there, and I have no idea why it is not in the
default dot.cshrc file. No doubt good reasons, but I got by for months
before I found this out. All that time I was going bash can do it, why

situation? Second, why isn't the mail corrupted on the mail server that
I am getting this mail from? If it corrupts my mbox, then why not theirs?

Try with a GENERIC config file, see if that builds. You may have taken

Re: IPFW Time-Range

2006-07-22 Thread Dan Nelson
In the last episode (Jul 22), Pelekh Volodya said:
 Hi
 My name is Volodya, i'am from Ukraine
 I have a little question,
 do you plan to add time-range in ipfw?
 Something like in Cisco
 thanks
 wait for answer

One way to do what you want is to put your time-sensitive rules in a
separate set:

 ipfw add 500 set 1 reset ip from any to any dst-port 554 // block realaudio 
streams

Then use cron to enable/disable them during your timerange:

 0 8 * * * root ipfw set enable 1
 0 18 * * * root ipfw set disable 1

You can run ipfw -S list to see which sets are active at any time. 
It would be nice to have this built into ipfw, though.

What I would like to see, or How many FreeBSD boxen are out there?

2006-07-22 Thread User Freebsd


On various lists, including this one, there is talk about how to we make 
hardware vendors sit up and take more notice of us ... alot of the 
negative responses back seem to be 'we are too small of a group', but, of 
couse, nobody out there can really give any even *reasonable* numbers of 
desktops and servers deployed with FreeBSD ...


What I'd love to see is a *project initiated* (or FreeBSD Foundation) 
FreeBSD reporting mechanism similar to:


http://www.mreriksson.net/uptimes/myuptimes

Something just for FreeBSD users (well, all *BSD users should be invited) 
... uptime not being the really big thing here, but stuff like version of 
FreeBSD being run, country being run in, maybe have it part dmesg on 
startup and report devices in use, etc ...


Come up with reports like # of hosts using fxp vs em devices, etc ... 
although it may be a bit more difficult, I don't know, but report on 
specific hardware being used ...


Statistics that either Core, or the FreeBSD Foundation, can use to show 
vendors they are talking to about what is currently in use ... but also to 
show developers themselves what device drivers are actually in use, that 
sort of thing ...


Nothing that I'd think would be 'sensitive information', but information 
that would be useful from either a marketing, or support, point of view 
...


And market / promote it ...

Basically, unless I'm mistaken, right now we have *nothing* to base 
numbers on, except maybe the netcraft report(s)? ... but, that only 
includes hosts running web servers ... how many are running firewalls? 
desktops?  mail servers?  etc ...


We need to show vendors we aren't some hobbiest group, and towards that 
end, producing some sort of up to date #s would really help, I would think 
... show them we are a market worth looking at ...

Slow Write Performance on 3ware controller

2006-07-22 Thread Richard Collyer

Hello,

I recently installed a 3ware 9500S-12 along with 3 x 250GB Seagate 
7200.10 Drives.


I am getting very poor read/write performance on this array that I have 
set up (RAID5 - 64K stripe)


Reading to the 2 mirrored drives that I have on a 3ware 7006-2 I can get 
 8MB/sec over samba which is what I expect. From the new array I am 
getting 4MB/sec. To rule out samba I did a file copy from one array to 
the other an averaged 3.8MB/sec which I assume is being limited by the 
new array.


Any ideas where I can check to see if there are problems and what are 
the first steps / common things that people miss when adding drives.


In short I...

a) installed the drive
b) disk partitioned using /stand/sysinstall
c) labelled using the same
d) edited /etc/drivetabthingy to mount the drive

Anyone else have any other suggestions on what I can check?

Cheers
Richard

I didn't think of that! I condensed my configuration into one file, and DHCPd

ICH8 chipset support?

2006-07-22 Thread Nick Sayer
I just upgraded my machine at home to a Conroy-ready motherboard - An  
Asus P5B. This particular motherboard has the smallest fraction of  
recognized devices I think I've ever come across. From what I can  
tell, the blame can be placed squarely on the Intel ICH8 chipset that  
supplies almost all of the devices in the system.


USB is working, though it is recognized only generically. The ICH8  
SATA ports do not seem to work properly (thank goodness for the  
JMicro RAID controller - which can be used without RAID). The audio  
subsystem, SMB controller and the Realtek on-board Ethernet aren't  
recognized at all. There's an nVidia PCI Express graphics card in  
there too, but I probably won't even run X on this machine, much less  
3D stuff.


I'll attach the output from pciconf -l and the dmesg.boot. At this  
point, it is up, sort of.


Is there any hope of improving support for this system?

 To Whom It May Concern:




1.Reinvent the installer and interface.

 Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane.
 There
 is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer
 and
 why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis
 TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation.


One thing I would say is that FreeBSD installs a complete operating system
far faster than any other OS out there. This does matter to some people,
though not everyone.

A few years ago I was new to FreeBSD (and UNIX/Linux in general) and I
went
through the installation. The only thing that caught me out was adding a
user (me) but not putting myself in the wheel group. After the
installation
completed I removed the monitor and plugged it back into my usual desktop
machine. I could SSH in but not su. It really was the only thing that
caught
me out.

2.Integrate a PHP shell into the core of the system.

 PHP is by far the most popular computing language in the world. Why not
 have a shell called PHP shell. So lots of web developers out there can
 easily create shell scripts in PHP syntax to automate and run programs
on
 FreeBSD.

 Who wants to learn bash or sh scripting? They are by far the least
popular
 and ugly programming language in the world.

 It is astounding that FreeBSD developers have not clued in to the fact
 that
 millions of backend webmasters could easily migrate and adopt FreeBSD as
 their O.S of their choice because of PHP



Would that be PHP and all its associated modules from the base install?
That's big, and for many people unnecessary. Why would I need it for my
(10)
mail servers. It wouldn't serve any purpose. Also PHP syntax is not
consistent. Take a look here: http://tnx.nl/php.

sh scripting is a low level standard across other Unices.

The only thing I wish I had learned so much sooner was set autolist in
my
.cshrc. I didn't know it was there, and I have no idea why it is not in
the
default dot.cshrc file. No doubt good reasons, but I got by for months
before I found this out. All that time I was going bash can do it, why
can't csh?

Sysinstall and my tape conflic?

2006-07-22 Thread perikillo

 Hi people, i was installing FreeBSD 6-1, do the world stuff and all
that process, normally went my system is runnig i no more use the
sysinstall program.

 Im going to test bacula 1.38.11 with the tape HP storageworks 232.

 I was installing some ports that i going to test on this machine and
i try to run sysinstall and the first window, the one that say is
probing device never dissapear and my tape Ready Led start blinking,
normally went bacula start working with the tape my first console
receive 1 message:

Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: (ahc0:A:3:0): Sending PPR bus_width 1,
period 9, offset 40, ppr_options 2
Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: (ahc0:A:3:0): Received PPR width 1,
period 9, offset 40,options 2
Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: Filtered to width 1, period 9, offset
40, options 2
Jul 21 08:36:00 bacula kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:3:0): error 6

 No problem because the programs works. I just receive this message 1
each day that bacula runs with no problem.

 But My console start receiving a lot of those message, after a
couple of minutes my tape request me the tape cleaner. I just turn off
and on again and dissapear.

  But the sysinstall never let the probing device screen.

 I turn off the tape and try again but the same problem, never jump
to the next screen, i was thinking that just with the 6.1-p3 version,
i change my HD to the one i have in production running 5.4-p16, but i
get same behaviour like say normally went i setup my OS never use the
sysinstall program.

  I can live without that boy, but this behaviour is not normall to me.

  Any info about this...? Thanks all for your time!!!

I've gotten a fair share of SPAM through the years, but never has it
corrupted my mailbox. Maybe my mail delivery agent (qmail) is doing
something clever. I wouldn't know. However, I have had troubles with
locking, and different processes (eg, qmail, pine, home brewed filters,
etc) trying to write to the same file at the same time.

In what way are your mailbox corrupt? Could you pass it through formail,
and split in individual messages? Your MUA og POP3 server should care
less in you flip bits in in the message bodies, or even headers, as long
as there's no control char or other stuff like that in there. Maybe the
From-lines are broken?

I think I'd try to split the file at lines starting with From  (notice
the space and lack of colon : after From). All the resulting files
should be valid mailboxes.

I'm using openldap-server-2.3.24 and nss_ldap-1.250.

My /var/log/debug.log was full of:

I rebooted the machine and now everything seems to work fine.
When I put 14 8 * * * root echo test in /etc/crontab
a mail is now sent as expected.

Any idea why a reboot seems to have solved the problem?

Hi,
I would recommend dovecot. It's capable of both imap as well as pop if
you later want to add that and can do encrypted versions of those

If i can be of any assistance let me know.

i second it, dovecot works great, try it.

I am setting up a simple mail system that will accumulate 20 people. I
 already have Postfix installed. I was wondering what users would
 suggest to complete the system. I was thinking of Cyrus-Imap or perhaps
 Dovecot or maybe something else. I definitely want an imap system.

 Your current website looks very ordinary and doesn't make any impression

 There are outstanding open source CMS like Joomla, Mambo, eZ Publish,

 professional website in no times

What do you mean by professional?

Persoanlly, I think the FreeBSD.org site is one of the best on the entire web.  
It's clean, functional and everything is available within a few clicks which 
make it appear highly professional to me. (Yes, i've done some web design in 
my time too).  Now that I think about it, it reminds of the design philosophy 
Google have chosen to use.  If plain and simple is good enough for a 
multi-billion dollar company like Google which is accessed by approximately 
half of the worlds internet users multiple times per day then I think that 
same design style is good enough for FreeBSD.

Or did you mean professional from a marketing point of view with the general 
masses of the internet population as a target?  Do you want flash animations, 
fancy graphics and stuff which add nothing but eye candy to a site?

Re: I need a freebsd 5.3 desktop server; recommendations?

2006-07-22 Thread Dan Bikle

Well,

it turns out that ordering a computer from Walmart was a mistake.

They sent me the wrong computer.

I don't understand why.  The item listed in my online order was
clearly different than the item printed on the packing list attached
to the shipping box.

Perhaps they have a literacy problem in their warehouse.

At least the return was easy; I just took the box to my local
Walmart and they accepted it and then put the correct credit
on my credit card.

Then, I went to Frys.
I showed the spec of the Walmart machine that I wanted.

They easily beat Walmart with an 'open-box' special which is
a customer returned computer still under warranty.

I got an HP Pavilion a1340n for about $500.
It has 1G RAM,
250G HD,
1 R-W DVD drive
and 1 R-O DVD drive.
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=encc=usproduct=1818054dlc=docname=c00575715

It has an ATI grapics card but I'm not sure how to use
a shell command to give me information about it.

I looked at dmesg output and saw nothing about the grapics card.

How might I get info about my graphics card?

Thanks,
-Dan

I did a bit more looking around.

I found this:

It is so cheap I'm tempted to buy it and take the risk that
I could install a recent version of FreeBSD on it.

Since it comes with Linux installed on it,
I'm tempted to think that the interface cards for the Video

I have a question for any of you who have done a lot of FreeBSD installs

Would you gamble $368 that you could get FreeBSD installed on this thing?

The point of the link I sent above, or other similar systems, is that its 
relatively self-maintaining ... you register a server/desktop with the 
system, as being 'owned' by you, and run a small client that polls the 
system periodically ...


If the server gets taken offline, it automatically gets marked as being an 
inactive host ... I don't know how linux counter works, but any system 
where someone has to go to a web site to remove a host if it gets taken 
offline is inherently flawed from the started since a) what stops ppl from 
just adding hosts with nothing to back them?  and b) most of us are too 
lazy to bother going to mark as being 'offline'

How I setup a dual-boot PC?

2006-07-22 Thread Dan Bikle

FreeBSD people,

I'm trying to figure out how to setup dual boot on my PC.

The PC has a 250G drive.

Currently, when I boot, I see this menu on the console:

F1  DOS
F2  DOS
F3  FreeBSD
F4  FreeBSD

F1 I avoid; The factory put an XP thingee there.
F2 works well, when I pick it, the box boots with XP.
F3 works well, when I pick it, the box boots with FreeBSD 5.5

F4 does not work; I want it to boot FreeBSD 6.1

So I did the obvious thing.

I got a 6.1 installation CD and walked through the install.

During the install, I asked that /dev/ad8s4d be mounted as /.

But when I am given the F1,2,3,4 boot menu,
and when I pick F4,
I see this error:

F4 Invalid partition
No /boot/loader
FreeBSD / i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel

boot:

Can any of you give me any tips on how to make /dev/ad8s4d
bootable?

Or can you give me an understanding about how I can tell the
' boot: ' prompt that I want to boot off of /dev/ad8s4d


BTW..

After I boot 5.5,  I'm able to mount the partition
I want to boot from.

So, I mounted it as /root61

I see this:

df -k
Filesystem  1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad8s3a  91913630 20140014 6442052624%/

devfs   110   100%/dev
linprocfs   440   100%/usr/compat/linux/proc

When I look in /root61,
I see this:

im about to sit down an read the entire postfix manuals...

2006-07-22 Thread Jonathan Horne
becuase i want to know if it supports a specific feature or not.  so before i 
do and spend all that time, i just thought i would ask a simple question or 2 
to this list.

my problem: i have 5 domains that my sendmail server recieves mail for, and im 
starting to get spammed at [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc 
etc.  realistically, name1 only needs to receive at domain1, and none of the 
others.  there are many other accounts that only need to recieve at other 
specific domains, and not at any of them.

before i go an burn up a lot of time reading about postfix, is there a way i 
can solve this problem within sendmail?  if not, will researching in postfix 
eventually lead me to the solution im looking for?  if i can fix it within 
sendmail, id just as soon perfer to stay with that, but ill switch if i have 
to.

pciconf -l -v found gets the module to recognize that there's a card
there, and then it pukes on the ac97 stuff (which confuses me since this
card claims to be ac97 compliant and the Cirrus chips is there ...)
   pcm0: Creative EMU10K1 port 0xcf00-0xcf1f irq 18 at device 10.0 on
pci3
   pcm0: AC97 reset timed out.
   pcm0: ac97 codec invalid or not present (id == 0)
   device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6

Looking through sound/pcm/ac97.c I can see that the reset() function is
failing, and the id = line in the ac97_initmixer() function isn't
recognizing the chip on the board.

I got a SoundBlaster Live! because it was listed as a known working
piece of hardware.  Apparently this is a newer version of the board that
isn't supported yet.  Getting it to work is becoming a PITA beyond what
I have the time and willpower to put in right now.

Is there a piece of sound hardware I can just run down to CompUSA and
buy, that I can drop in here and get this thing working with *today*?


Newer Audigy's use a completely different DSP chip then the older
SoundBlasters. The SoundBlaster brand is so vague now with regard to
the actual chips that it's misleading.

The el cheapo CompUSA brand card is iirc a very old and generic chip,
it's not the best quality wise but when I bought them months ago they
seemed to work with everything I threw at them. In all honesty I don't
remember testing them with FreeBSD, but it works out of the box with
BeOS R5, so I'd assume FreeBSD comes with the driver.

How do I use a second sound device?

2006-07-22 Thread John L

My laptop has a built-in sound card which works fine, but I would also
like to be able to use a USB handset.  I load the snd_uaudio driver
and plug in the handset, the /dev/audio1.x and /dev/dsp1.x devices
appear, but then what?

What do I do to get sound applications to use device 1 rather than
device 0?  I have looked at all the man pages I could find and grepped
through many rc.d files, and I'm still mystified.  Any suggestions?

Yes I think your right here. If you look at the ATTO STRs and cache
transfer rates[1] the ARC-1120 (PCI-X) is up against the bus limit.
theoretically the 1120/1220 could do up to 2400MB/s (8 drives *
SATA-II transfer limit of 300MB/s).

The results of the Areca ARC-1120 in the RAID 0 tests cleary show
this adapter does not have any trouble with ATTO's tiny dataset.
Floating high above the crowd, the ARC-1120 has a perfect view on the
struggles of the other adapters. Exceeding 750MB/s, the transfer rates
from the Areca ARC-1120 are almost equal to the effective bandwidth of
the 133MHz PCI-X bus. [1]

strange reboot on FreeBSD 6.1

2006-07-22 Thread Tamouh H.

Hello,

I have a machine that I've been monitoring for strange reboots. The machine is 
hardly ever used, in fact it sits idle 99.9% of the time. When a hardware 
failure occurs, does FreeBSD still records 'reboot' in the last command ?

All the sudden at no specific intervals, the machine reboots. No user logins, 
no access, nothing triggers it. Just a reboot. This is what /var/log/all.log 
says:

The only difference between the ARC-11xx and the ARC-12xx's Intel
XScale processor is the IOP333 on the ARC-12xx* has a PCI Express to
PCI-X Bridge... Both chips are otherwise identical and both chips use
PCI-X133 internally. Also it appears the IOP333's internal bus
operates at 333MHz while the IOP331 operates at 266MHz but I can't
confirm this, it's possible older IOP331's worked at 266MHz but new
ones are 333MHz now.

 also, mbmon, might be able to work if you compile in smb support.
 
   ---Mike

thx, I've tried that but the thermal sysctl not available. mbmon compiled with 
smb didn't recognize a h/w monitor! 

do you have anything special compiled in your kernel for acpi ?

sonata# sysctl -a hw.acpi
hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S4 S5
hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE
hw.acpi.standby_state: S1
hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3
hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1
hw.acpi.s4bios: 0
hw.acpi.verbose: 0
hw.acpi.reset_video: 1
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/0
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_usage: 100.00%

dev.acpi.0.%desc: INTEL D865GVHZ
dev.acpi.0.%driver: acpi
dev.acpi.0.%parent: nexus0

Thanks again,

Complime to the folks at FreeBSD

I write to extend my thanks and appreciation for your replies to my e-mail.
Your responses were clear, easy and straight to the point. Keep up the good
work!

Thank you so much for helping people like me to learn about FreeBSD.

You deserve the Nobel Prize in software category.

Regards

Sammy Sumer

 To Whom It May Concern:

Greeting from Australia

I commend your efforts and your success. Following are some gripes with
FreeBSD and ideas to fix them.

I have been using FreeBSD for a few years. I have also played with lots of

Linux distributions but still FreeBSD is my first choice as a computer
system admin and backend web developer.

But you know what pisses me off about FreeBSD? It is the little things.

Every Linux Distributor in the world is hard at work reinventing the
interface and making the Linux as user friendly as possible but we're
still
dogged by turn of the century hassle with our FreeBSD.

Here is what I would fix:

1.Reinvent the installer and interface.

Fundamental thing like system installer is still phenomenally arcane.
There
is no excuse for FreeBSD developers not to upgrade the system installer
and
why not using disk imaging technology like Norton ghost or Acronis
TrueImageinstead of the traditional installation.

 Hi,
 I would recommend dovecot. It's capable of both imap as well as pop if
 you later want to add that and can do encrypted versions of those
 protocols
 as well. Dovecot is also in my opinion much easier to configure and less
 resource intensive than other imap servers.
 If i can be of any assistance let me know.
 Thanks.
 Dave.
 
 
 
 i second it, dovecot works great, try it.


I'm not into starting a flaming session, but dovecot's indexing/caching
capabilities are the only things that make it fast. Am I right? Well, it
is also written in C. I came across a few posts[1][2], though they're
old, saying that everything depends on e-mail clients as well.

I'm responsible for 2 courier-imap in production and about to start
working on a new one. This and previous threads regarding dovecot caught
my attention and it sounds interesting. However, what good is there
having indexes on IMAP server and on local machine?

I realised that my Thunderbird keeps record of all my folders and their
contents. So roughly I've got ~800MB of e-mails on IMAP and 12MB of
indexes in Thunderbird's profile. Also, apparently Outlook 2003 caches
absolutely everything. I've seen accounts with 2.9GB worth of e-mails on
IMAP and generated outlook.pst as big as 950MB. Maybe dovecot's indexing
features would be great in webmail environments?

Maybe I just got lost somewhere. Any input would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mikhail.
