Re: Quiet computer

2006-08-20 Thread David King
I am looking for a small computer that is silent or very quiet to  
sit in

a home office.I use this one (3 ethernets):

  http://shop.tronico.net/pd1100964260.htm?categoryId=0
with 7-CURRENT and I've happily replaced an AMD K6-III 450/384MB Ram
using a 4GB Microdrive ( but thats not even close to dualcore =) ).
[it could have more RAM tbh...]


Wow, that's a pretty sexy machine. But unfortunately not beefy for  
me :) It's quiet, but actually a downgrade in terms of CPU and RAM


It's replacing my very aged 350 mhz server, which I've had for so  
long

because it's so quiet.

You really need 2 cores then?


Well, my 350 mhz machine *was* going to be replaced by a quad 700mhz  
machine that I picked up for cheap (for sale now, if anyone is  
interested), but my home office is now occupied by a long-term guest  
that isn't willing to deal with the quite loud sound that it  
produces. 4x700 is certainly way more than I need, but I couldn't  
pass it up at the price-point.


On this 350 mhz machine, I've been meaning to run a specific  
application but the machine just hasn't been up to it. The problem is  
that it is quite CPU-intensive, and can remain that way for long  
periods of time, during which time I'd still like the machine to be  
usable. The easiest way to get around that is to compartmentalise the  
processor, which is easiest done with HyperTheading (which I'd like  
to avoid due to some bad performance experiences, and because it's  
only available on late Pentiums that require a lot of cooling) or  
with a dual-CPU or dual-core machine. I figure that nothing with two  
full CPUs is every going to be quiet because of the cooling required,  
but there are many dual-core CPUs built around notebook chipsets that  
can be quite quiet. My MacBook Pro, for instance, is dual-core and  
very quiet, and so is the Mac Mini (which I'd quickly buy if anyone  
has anything great to say about FreeBSD on it, especially if the  
automatic-booting problem is fixed and we can boot directly from EFI).



How about:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/06/21/the_next_generation_of_cool/ ?
(this isn't dualcore as well - but signifcant faster than 350mhz)


That's a great motherboard and processor combo, but I don't know much  
about building cases and fans that reduce vibration and sound, so I  
was hoping for a ready-made solution like Tranquil-PC.


I also looked at soundproof enclosures (http:// 
www.kellsystems.co.uk http://www.keyzone.com/tech/ 
whisper_cabinets.htm http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/ 
acoustirack.asp), but I can't seem to find any in the 6-24U range  
for less than $800


Any other ideas?

That's the problem; I don't have a real answer, but what version of
FreeBSD are you running?  It might also help if you can connect the
pcm device to a different IRQ from the nv device; but that depends on
your motherboard BIOS.
  
I'm running 5.4 STABLE. I don't have much experience on FreeBSD, how do 
I change the IRQ for a device?

Use 'vipw' and edit that field in the root entry.
Don't change the id name or the UID fields, just the part of the 
entry that says 'root unix' or whatever to what you want for each machine.

The vipw utility works just like 'vi' only it takes care of correct
file locking and updating master.passwd and the passwd database for you
when you exit with a :wq

No expert on this; but I suspect the BIOS is looking for the OS 
on the newly setup raid. 

If this is the case you could see what boot options there are in
the BIOS settings. If that doesn't go anywhere you could try 
putting a BSD boot selection MBR on ar0 which should then give 
you an option of booting from the next drive.

I did not see the answer to the dynamic content question. I ran 400-500 web

and bandwidth. If you are going to use perl or modperl for dynamic content, any 
processor you can buy today will probably be fast enough.


If did not see RAID mentioned in the thread, but I would recommend that. If you 
have a budget, I would spend it on memory, 1GB (more?) and the rest on disks and 
an ata raid controller.

The school has roughly 20,000 students and the magazine comes out once a

articles, the server will probably offer a 10- to 15-minute video and/or 
podcast to go with the cover story. Also, the server will also be used as a 
mail server and file server, though file services will likely only be 
needed for a couple of days each semester and E-mail accounts will only be 
for staff to do things such as receive feedback on articles and so forth.


What sorts of requirements would such a server need as far as processor, 
RAM and HD are concerned, assuming it would be running on FreeBSD? Would a 
machine with 512M of RAM, a 140G HD and 1.2GHz processor work?

[Fwd: porting the RealPlayer]

2006-08-20 Thread Matt Olander

Hi all,

I met with a developer of the Real Player at Linux World. She says they 
would *love* to port a native version of the Real player to FreeBSD. 
Yay! She even showed me that they have an older FreeBSD dev environment 
set up and are ready to start to try compiling it for release after we 
get it up to date.


We need a couple of FreeBSD experts to assist with 
questions/expertise/feedback to make sure this gets finished ;-)
Please send me your name/email off list and I'll reply to her with a 
shortlist of who can help them.


Thanks!
-matt

 Original Message 

Hey Matt -

It was great to meet you at Linux World.  FreeBSD is near to my heart, 
although I'm not totally knowledgeable on it, sadly.  I'm a FreeBSD fan to 
the point of wanting to do the RealPlayer port to FreeBSD myself when I 
first started this job.. but.. they piled me down with meetings and 
spec-writing before I even got a chance to see it compile once.


Which is why I'm so excited that you were so receptive to getting the 
RealPlayer on FreeBSD.  I've been talking to the guy who runs our build 
environments and he's checking to see if anyone else is using the FreeBSD 
5.0 box.  If not, we'll upgrade it asap.  Do you have any recommendations 
on hardware for a FreeBSD 6.1 build machine?


Also, we're currently only running nightly builds for the stable branch on 
FreeBSD.  Do you think we should be running the current branch as 
well?  That's where all the new functionality is going - like playlists and 
Windows Media (ahem.. if you have a license for it).  Depending on how long 
porting work takes, FreeBSD may want to just skip the currently released 
player and go for all the new technology.


Thanks so much for your offer of help and any thoughts you have would be 
greatly appreciated.

Upgrade the ports after performing a binary upgrade

2006-08-20 Thread Andrew Falanga

Hello everybody,

I did a binary upgrade on my FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE system up to 6.1
RELEASE.  However, I'm still running KDE 3.4 and firefox still doesn't
work.  I didn't understand this, but apparently the ports that are
installed to a system don't upgrade with a binary upgrade.  Ok, so,
the question is now, how do I upgrade my ported applications, KDE and
firefox most noteably, to the versions that are  installed with the
ports when one does a 6.1 installation?  I know that I must upgrade
many of the GTK stuff for firefox, etc., so how do I go about
upgrading these applications useing disk 2 of the iso images?

Thanks for any help.

 Also, we're currently only running nightly builds for the stable
 branch on FreeBSD.  Do you think we should be running the current
 branch as well?  That's where all the new functionality is going -
 like playlists and Windows Media (ahem.. if you have a license for
 it).  Depending on how long porting work takes, FreeBSD may want to
 just skip the currently released player and go for all the new
 technology.

From our point of view it would be no problem to have both in the Ports
Tree (The second as -devel).

Re: Drive Failure or User Error?

2006-08-20 Thread Lowell Gilbert
Jason Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I was setting up a new server (6.1 i386 STABLE) - more specifically, I
 was mirroring the functioning server drive - when I suddenly got this:

 ad0 FAILURE - READ_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR
 error=40UNCORRECTABLE LBA=611703808
 GEOM_MIRROR: Request failed (error=5). ad0[READ(offset=313192349696, 
 length=131072)]

 Along with several more errors, which were very similar. At this point,
 the server pretty much froze and would repeat the error at reboot, and
 as gmirror began resyncing the drive, the server would crash. I've tried
 disabling the mirror, fscking (multiple times), removing disks, and I
 just got done reinstalling (which went just fine) and resyncing. I still
 get the error and the system becomes unusable.

 So, my question is - and I suspect this is the case - is this a drive 
 failure or some issue with the mirroring process?

It *is* a drive failure, but I don't understand all of what's
happening there.  It is possible that this is not a FATAL drive
failure, but it's hard to be certain from this information.  If you
can figure out which file contains the bad sector, you can rewrite
that file and the drive may be able to recover.

Hello Matt,,,

I use only FreeBSD here and I realise that to play real media I use xine
or mplayer(kmplayer)
they are faster than real player, never locks, and plays everything
encoded with real media...

Indeed, the last xine is amazing... just install it with all the
options
it runs all windows codecs, plus divx, dvd,vcd, cd, mp3, mp4, mpg,
quicktime... 


Thanks for your attention

a problem setting screen resolution with Xorg-6.9.0

2006-08-20 Thread carl
Fellow FreeBSDers,

I originally sent this to FreeBSD-X11, but this may be a more appropriate venue.

I have recently installed FreeBSD 6.1 on a Pentium III box, using an NVidia 
GeForce 2 GTS card and a CTX PL9 monitor.  Running X -configure as root 
generates the file xorg.conf.new, and then running X -config xorg.conf.new, 
pulls up a generic X screen with a resolution of 1600x1200.  I go in and modify 
the xorg.conf.new file to make the default resolution 1280x1024, and rerun X 
-config xorg.conf.new, but the resolution is still 1600x1200.  This is a 
wonderful resolution, but it makes everything rather small, and the icons are 
difficult to see.  I am obviously setting something wrong, but I do not know 
what it is.  Might anyone have any suggestions.  I really would rather have the 
resolution be 1280x1024.  Thanks for your help!

Re: Two Dell PE1850s keep locking up...

I have two identically configured Dell PowerEdge 1850 servers running

compiling a kernel, the other was while running portupgrade.  Not
sure what the straw is that breaks the back here, so I'm wondering if
anyone has seen anything like this before and can perhaps shed some
light on what might be happening, or perhaps give me some clues on

I've included a some output which will hopefully give a clear picture

portmanager ignoring update perl

2006-08-20 Thread Noah


Hi there,

I am running portmanager and updating all dependencies along the way. I 
am finding that perl gets updated to the system version.  I want to keep 
it to version 5.8. . FreeBSD4-11 is my OS.


so in order to get portmanager to stop updating perl do I add the 
following to /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf


 snip ---

IGNORE|lang/perl5.8|


--- snip ---


will that work?

It should work. I have it configured to ignore JAVA and OpenOfice. It
just issues a message in the log that the port is being ignored.

Out of curiosity, why can you not run a newer version of Perl on that OS?

I am running the newest version of PERL.  I am running perl 5.8.8 which 
is the latets port.  for some reason when I am running portmanager and

any clues how to keep perl updated but not set to the system port?

Showstopping FreeBSD 6.1 bug

2006-08-20 Thread Jeff Rollin

Hello all

I need to report a serious bug in 6.1-RELEASE. On both AMD64 and x86,
sysinstall appears to work correctly but fails to install a kernel on the
target filesystem. This has the additional effect of rendering the -bootonly
.iso almost useless since if the error is not caught before rebooting, there
is no live filesystem to repair the damage, and the emergency shell cannot
find any executables (it can, however, find executables directly after
installing the system).

I thought that portmanager did that automatically. Anyway, in the pkg-message

in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files directory. However, you will need to chmod 
it to get it to run. There is also the 'perl-after-upgrade' file there that I 
believe replaces the 'use.perl' program. I may be wrong about that though. In 
any case, read the man on 'perl-after-upgrade' and run it. That might correct 
the problem. Perhaps someone else know more about the 'use.perl' program.

I recently installed both versions of 6.1 via a boot only iso. Is there a 
chance that the disk image that you downloaded was damaged or that perhaps 
there was a problem with the server site that you downloaded from. I have

I think you need to use vidcontrol. So man vidcontrol and look for

portupgrade upgrade procedure

2006-08-20 Thread Michael P. Soulier
Hello,

Why is the upgrade procedure recommended to be

portupgrade -R package

instead of 

portupgrade -r package ?

If -R is Act on all those packages required by the given packages as well.
isn't it more important to rebuild the packages that depend on the package
being rebuilt, ala -r?

Thanks,
Mike

That depends on how you enabled them :-) You should have something
like this in /var/run/dmesg.boot:

  pcm0: nVidia nForce2 port 0xe400-0xe4ff,0xe800-0xe87f mem 
0xeb00-0xeb000fff irq 21 at device 6.0 on pci0
  pcm0: Avance Logic ALC655 AC97 Codec

In this case, you should add to your /boot/loader.conf (creating the
file if it doesn't exist):

  snd_ich_load=YES

 It might also help if you can connect the pcm device to a different
 IRQ from the nv device; but that depends on your motherboard BIOS.

 I'm running 5.4 STABLE. I don't have much experience on FreeBSD, how do
 I change the IRQ for a device?

As I say,

 that depends on your motherboard BIOS.

I'd look in the PCI device configuration first.

It might also help to move to 6.1.  I had problems with sound on this
board until I did.

Re: Showstopping FreeBSD 6.1 bug

Jeff,

I hate to state (or rather ask) the obvious but are you sure you selected the 
appropriate options to install the kernel?  One of the people were I work swore 
they had the exact same problem on an x86 they were installing on and it turned 
out that she was just forgetting to select an installation configuration that 
included the kernel.

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org

 Hello all
 
 I need to report a serious bug in 6.1-RELEASE. On both AMD64 and x86,
 sysinstall appears to work correctly but fails to install a kernel 
 on the
 target filesystem. This has the additional effect of rendering the -
 bootonly.iso almost useless since if the error is not caught before 
 rebooting, there
 is no live filesystem to repair the damage, and the emergency shell 
 cannotfind any executables (it can, however, find executables 
 directly after
 installing the system).
 
 Yours

Re: Where are teh choices stored when I build a port?

Under /var/db/ports you will find directories for each port you have  
set options for.  In each directory, if a file called options exists,  
remove it...you're all set!!!

The options are stored in /var/db/port_name_here/options.
If you do a make rmconfig or rmconfig-recursive before a make
install, then it is deleting the options file, and with a make
install you can happily choose your favorite options again. 
As usual, the manual for ports
# man ports
will list most of the things you can do with ports.
You can take a look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk for more information.

[FreeBSD] Incoming mail configuration; catch-all e-mail account; virtusertable

2006-08-20 Thread Dan Bikle

People,

I want to configure sendmail for incoming mail.

I want to funnel all mail destined for a specific domain to a catchall
account.

On my FreeBSD 5.3 box I looked in /etc/mail/

I found this file:

/etc/mail/virtusertable.sample

and studied it.

I made this file:

/etc/mail/virtusertable

I put 1 line in it:

@mydomain.com   catchall

I want ...
any mail sent to @mydomain.com
to land here /var/mail/catchall

I assume I am using the right syntax; true?

Anyway, I bounced sendmail with the Makefile I
found in /etc/mail

When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the mail just ends up in the dead.letter file
of the sender.

When I send mail to a valid user, the mail
does get delivered to the right file in /var/mail/

So, how do I setup a catchall mail account?

I sense that I'm supposed to do this via
/etc/mail/virtusertable

but maybe I'm putting in the wrong syntax or
I need to configure some other file.

If you have any tips for me,
please send them to me.

Thanks,
-Dan

Re: FROM ARGENTINA

2006-08-20 Thread Dan Bikle

Sergio,

I'd suggest you install bittorrent on a pc which has a burner.

Then, every time you dial up, you will down load a small piece of
the freebsd cd.

After 2 or 3 weeks , you will have the entire freebsd cd.

This is different than ftp which only works well with a high speed
connection.

So, once you have bittorrent installed on your pc , you will find
the freebsd 6.1 .torrent file here:
http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/

I try to use bittorrent for all my downloads now.

It is superior to ftp and is almost as easy to use once you have
the client installed and you have used it a few times.

-Dan

Do you have any other addresses defined in virtusertable?  I've run into
problems in the past where a catchall address would not work if it was
the only defined.  So in my experience, you should have at least two
addresses defined in virtusertable like so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] someuser
@somedomain.com catchall

Also, did you rehash virtusertable after you added the entries?  If not,
cd into /etc/mail and run 'make all' and then 'make restart'.  If you
did all the above, and it's still not working, check /var/log/maillog
for any indications as to what's going wrong.
