GFORCE 7300GT Video Card/X11

Error with Gnome 2.18.1 update -The configuration could not be loaded-
Hi all: Finally all my ports are updated and running (thanks to all that responded to my first question). After I finished I launched Gnome and every things looked ok until I tried to adjust the time. I had this error: The configuration could not be loaded Searching on the web, I found couple links that refer to the problem. Mainly, I refer to this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/59946 I followed the suggestions without any success.

Assignment of device names to external USB drives
Greetings, I am trying to set up a backup server, using a combination of internal and external (USB) disk drives. How can I manage the mapping of USB disk drives to device names? i.e. USB drives get assigned device names like da0, da1, da2... when they are detected. But if one of the drives fails or is not powered up, all other ones will get bumped down one in the list next time I reboot. The problem is that if I automatically mount /dev/da0a /archive/volume1, mount /dev/da1a /archive/volume2, etc. I run the risk of having the wrong disk being mounted on a mount point !?! Is there an obvious solution that I'm missing, or a canonical workaround to this problem?

SSH question (some kind off-topic)
Hi list. When a password is send (via a POP3 session without SSL, or without establishing a secure connection) it can be retrieved by the ISP, or somebody ahead, right. AFAIK, making an SSH session to a server and forwarding, for instance, port 110 (POP3) to the SSH session, or some other port / application, passwords and / or traffic cannot be retrieved as easy by proxy servers or sniffers. So my question is what happens in the SSH server then, the traffic can be analyzed on that side? Really I don't know what happens when traffic reach the SSH server and keep their way.

I thought I knew shell syntax but this is beyond me or manpages... What's the right way to do this? One approach would be to navigate the series of function calls defined in /etc/network.subr. I just took a brief look, but it's not immediately obvious how many times you're going to have to escape exactly what to get the behavior you desire. Another option would be to make the file /etc/start_if.ath0, containing the line `ifconfig ... ssid my network`. This file would be sourced when /etc/rc.d/netif starts the network interfaces, before the rc variable ifconfig_ath0 is run. You can then omit the variable ifconfig_ath0 from /etc/rc.conf. For more hints, look in /etc/netif, /etc/network.subr, and /etc/rc.subr. Thanks for all your ideas guys, I really appreciate the help. Finally got some time to try all of your suggestions, though backwhacking (\) the space and/or the quotes makes no difference so I decided in the end to stop fighting the quoting wars and to just use /etc/start_if.ath0 which works perfectly.

This is what I have done, and I want to make sure I barking up the right tree before going too far. Move the tape to the end of the data. (mt eod). Find the logical block location of the drive (mt rdspos). /dev/nsa0: logical block location 2242573 If I multiply the result (2242573) by my blocksize, does this give me the total amount of the tape that has been used? If your tape drive has hardware compression turned off, that should be accurate. With compression enabled, logical blocks can be varying size on tape depening on the compression ratio. If your device supports the rdhpos command, that might give you a number that more accurately indicates where on the physical tape you are. It's a device-specific value, though, which may not translate to a sequential 0-max range. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When a password is send (via a POP3 session without SSL, or without establishing a secure connection) it can be retrieved by the ISP, or somebody ahead, right. AFAIK, making an SSH session to a server and forwarding, for instance, port 110 (POP3) to the SSH session, or some other port / application, passwords and / or traffic cannot be retrieved as easy by proxy servers or sniffers. So my question is what happens in the SSH server then, the traffic can be analyzed on that side? Really I don't know what happens when traffic reach the SSH server and keep their way. Sounds like your asking How does ssh work?

Updating all ports
For /usr/ports I sync to just '.' (dot). Is that what I want? (I want just 'stable' ports, nothing bleeding edge). for /usr/src I sync to: RELENG_6 But my question, is there a way to go though and say let's rebuild any port that is newer (via sync) then one I current have? For example, if I build and install application FooBar-1.0.0 from the /usr/ports and the next week FooBar-1.0.7 is there a way to say yea, let's rebuild this instead of manually building it? Or at the very least, give me a list of changes on which applications need to be manually built.

Clean install of Xorg 7.2
Hello. I've cvsup'd the new ports tree and have read /usr/ports/UPDATING, but only noticed upgrade notes in regard to Xorg 7.2. I attempted to 'make install clean' to install the new Xorg, but it failed after building the drm package. Am I missing something really basic here in regard to getting Xorg installed in a non-upgrade manner?

RE: looking for ethernet errors, collisions
Yipe, that is very high compared to what I've seen. You must have cabling problems or more likely a chipset incompatability with the ethernet chip in your switch, and the sis chip.
