PHP isn't really a programming language. It's more a fancy templating


for me it's just funny thing that needs several megs of RAM to display the 
current date ;)


but as being treated as technology instead of just tool, it's used 
everythere without sense.
in 90% cases just to link common header of HTML page with different body

simply using makefile with cat (possibly something SLIGHTLY more 
complicated) does the same.

with something a bit higher level. Perl, for example, ships with

Re: Dual Boot Vista - Large Sector Issue

 I am trying to install FreeBSD on the same drive as Vista in a dual boot

 Does anyone know if/when fdisk will support this new partition layout?

Hi,

Do you have options KDB in your kernel config file ?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-options.html

You should get a prompt when it panics. Then you type in bt for backtrace. 
Maybe you could take a picture of that. Probably someone is accessing a NULL

But if you're starting to learn programming from scratch,
it's much easier to begin with a scripted language like
Python (others prefer Ruby or Perl, which are fine too).

Why? C++ and STL are a powerful combination, but there's
a lot of pitfalls and gotchas that you won't experience
elsewhere (not so much with C itself, but with C++). And
the biggest shortcoming of Standard C++ is its lack of
standard libraries for stuff like network I/O, etc. Whatever
you'll use for that will be intrinsically platform dependent.
By learning a scripting language like Python, you'll get
instant portability for their standard library as well as
over 99% 3rd party modules. Once you've accumulated enough
experience there, you can always catch up on C++.

Whatever you opt to do, happy hacking and enjoy the ride! :)

has done this. I also have another PE750 that was bought and deployed the same

If you assign each customer a pf queue, you can use the output of `pfctl -vsq'

 I'd say that C++ isn't the easiest way to learn programming. I'd suggest
 starting with Perl, Ruby or Python.

If you're amenable to languages other than C++, I'd specifically
recommend Ruby, via the book Learn to Program by Chris Pine.  Ruby and
Perl are both excellent first languages, and both Learn to Program and
Learning Perl by Randal Schwartz et al. are excellent books.  Ruby's
much better for learning object oriented programming techniques, though,
and anyone learning to program anything like mainstream languages these
days should learn some OOP (generally speaking).

In the Unix world (such as with FreeBSD), I'd recommend C before C++,
too -- though probably long after Ruby or Perl.

If you specifically want to learn C++, though, and skip the middle man:
more power to ya, and good luck.


 
  Im using Borland C++ compiler on XP and was wondering what compilers
  there are for FreeBSD that would allow me to compile and execute some

 FreeBSD comes with the GNU C++ and C compilers installed. There are
 others available (Intel) or in progress (OpenWatcom).

Also in progress is the TenDRA compiler, though FreeBSD support is part
of what's in progress.

 Ruby is *VERY* easy to learn and there are many online and offline

 syntactically ugly

Perl gets a lot of bad press for its syntax.  It's mostly undeserved,
however.  I think the two things about Perl that contribute most to that
reputation are:

  1. sigils on variables (there's a widespread unreasoning hatred of this
  language characteristic in some circles)

  2. the fact that OOP in Perl actually *is* very ugly -- even if the
  rest of the language isn't

As Paul Graham has been known to say (even if he wasn't talking about
Perl specifically, at the time), real ugliness isn't harsh-looking
syntax; it's having to build programs using the wrong concepts.  Perl's
full of ways to use the *right* concepts, as long as you don't misuse it
like most of the code at Matt's Script Archive does.

That's a not-so-subtle hint to avoid Matt's Script Archive if you're
looking for examples of good Perl code.  Perlmonks is much better for
that.

On the other hand, Aryeh Friedman is right that Ruby is very easy to
learn, and it too is an excellent language.  It's also much better (in my
opinion at least) for learning object oriented programming techniques
than Perl.

 Check the capacitors on the motherboard (in particular near the
 memory and processor); they may be going bad (esp with that
vintage.
 2004 Dell was a bad year =P..).
 You'll be looking for swelled capacitors and possibly some orange
 dialectric being emitted.

Strange. In just the past few, 2 or 3 or even 4 weeks my
Dell-8200 has spontaneouslyrebooted too. I do have a number of
things in /var/log/messages, but nothing that I can seee that
would cause this problem. Before the video-card started flaking
out, this puppy ran for weeks/months happily. AFAIW, X (or a
heavily-loaded system) shouldn't have aynything to do with this
problem, [yes/no??]. Any clues, Garrett?

Anybody know why firefox would core dump? I have no clue waht
conftest is... .

Grant, how oten has your system failed?


gary
Gary,

I have owned this server since new (in 2004), and this is the
first time it has done this. I also have another PE750 that was
bought and deployed the same time as this one and it has never
done this.
 
I am not running anything graphical on this, so I am guessing its

not the built in video card. It is running as a server only.
Apache 2, Mysql, 4PHP4, Perl5, Exim4, vm-pop3d, ipa,
Openwebmail, and a number of add in modules for all the above.
 
One thing I may have neglected in my original post, is that it

appears the system may have been locked for a while since the last
log entry I can find befor the reboot was at about 12:20 am, the
system then shows the reboot at about 1:20 AM.

Gary,

   Depending on the webpages, amount of memory in use, and other 
things, firefox did have a tendency to crash from time to time when I 
used it. Most of the time it was an indication of bugs created by 
over-optimized binaries or rogue plugins / add-ons / extensions.


   conftest is run by autoconf, and a signal should only be 'thrown' 
(IIRC) if a test fails.


   Not sure about the signal 6 (SIGABRT) and other segfault stuff though..

   About the X11 comment.. actually a system that's heavier loaded than 
a lighter loaded system will exhibit more issues if any exist. So the 
more you run (at one time), the more problems you will see (possibly...).

FreeBSD i386 (32 bits) can normally only address 4GB.

So you can either;
- use the PAE extension (but see §8.4.1 in the FreeBSD Handbook)
- switch to the amd64 architecture.

Too right. But it should be noted that both C and C++ give you enough
rope to hang yourself with.

My preference for doing things is;

1) Can it be done with a shell-script? (esp. one-time hacks)
2) Else use Perl, Octave, Ruby, but
3) If speed is key, use C. :-)

   Im using Borland C++ compiler on XP and was wondering what compilers
   there are for FreeBSD that would allow me to compile and execute some
   of the examples i will practise from the book.
  
  FreeBSD comes with the GNU C++ and C compilers installed. There are
  others available (Intel) or in progress (OpenWatcom).
 
 Also in progress is the TenDRA compiler, though FreeBSD support is part
 of what's in progress.

Both OpenBSD and NetBSD (pkgsrc) have recently imported Anders Magnusson's
BSD-licensed pcc compiler. At this time it is i386 en C only. In time
this might be a faster (as in compile-time) alternative to gcc.

help, make installworld fails!!!!!!

2007-10-07 Thread Dino Vliet

Gents,

I'm about to experience the first problem with FreeBSD after I've tried to 
upgrade my kernel to the latest sources because of the security advisories.  I 
have a custom kernel running FreeBSD version 6.2 on a amd64 system.

My procedure was:


step 1) change the src-supfile file to get the version of freebsd you want

step 2) Change file /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL to get the kernel options 
you want

step 3) cp /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL /root/kernels/MYKERNEL
 (make a backup of the kernel configuration in a seperate directory)

step 4) cvsup -g -L 2 src-supfile (check if MYKERNEL is still in
 /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf directory otherwise copy from /root/kernels
 directory)

step 5) shutdown now and go into single user mode

step 6) look at step 11

step 7) cd /usr/src and make buildworld

step 8) make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

step 9) make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

step 10) reboot into single user mode

step 11) Then, when the system starts a /bin/sh shell instance,
 type:

# adjkerntz -i
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a

step 12) cd /usr/src

step 13) mergemaster -p (pre buildworld mode, look into
 /usr/src/UPDATING to check if you have to do this before step 7!!)

step 14) make installworld

step 15) mergemaster -i

step 16) exit and reboot
***

However, at step 14 I ran out of luck as I got the following error:

mkdir -p /tmp/install.gurnx5I7

 I figured this was the case, and it makes a difference.  This is OT,
 but do you have a link that describe what font families are available?
 I assume the Postscript base set is easy.  But how about the others?
 
 Continuing the OT, it is also interesting that the desktop publishing
 applications that I am aware of (an that is certainly incomplete) do
 not handle equations very well either.  Scribus didn't the last time I
 looked; Frame might but that is not really an option.

ConTeXt includes several pre-defined `typescripts'.  If you want to read
more details about fonts in ConTeXt, then the wiki of ConTeXt may be
useful; especially the pages:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts

One of the examples which I like a lot is the installation of `Lucida'
fonts in ConTeXt:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida

The font installation instructions use Windows-like pathnames, but they
are easy to translate to `Unix-speak' too :-)

To answer the original questions:

``what font families are available?''
``I assume the Postscript base set is easy.''

There are several typescripts available as predefined typescripts in
ConTeXt.  A nice demo of these typescripts in action can be found at:

http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf

This example PDF includes a typescript demo which uses the standard
PostScript(TM) fonts (Times, Courier, and Helvetica) too :-)

Re: Memory ignored




Hi all,
i am maybe new to BSD. I had setup my DELL server 2900 to run freeBSD
7.0server but i have seen a message that ignored my 4GB of my memory
in my
server. Can somebody tell me what is happening  and give me some idea so
that i can maximize my memory usage. My total memory is 8GB.


use freebsd/amd64 on 64-bit CPU, or use PAE if it's 32-bit CPU.

The gnash port reportedly works pretty well.

The linux-flashplugin port with nspluginwrapper worked really well for me
for a while -- then just randomly broke.

If you're not picky about watching them *in* the browser, you can always
just install the youtube_dl port, then use the youtube-dl script to
download YouTube videos to watch them in MPlayer.

There's a plugin for Firefox that allows you to use MPlayer within the
browser.  I haven't checked yet on whether that works for viewing YouTube
videos.

Last I checked, the linuxpluginwrapper didn't work worth a damn for Flash
support in Firefox.

Snap from the  FreeBSD handbook:
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html)

...snap
Install the www/linuxpluginwrapper port. This port requires
emulators/linux_base which is a large port. Follow the instructions
displayed by the port to set up your /etc/libmap.conf correctly! Example
configurations are installed
into /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/ directory.

The next step is to install the www/linux-flashplugin7 port. Once the
plugin is installed, start your browser, enter about:plugins in the
location bar and press Enter. A list should appear with all the
currently available plugins.

If the Flash plugin is not listed, this is, most of time, caused by a
missing symlink. As root, run the following commands:

# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so \
   /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt \
  /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

If you restart your browser the plugin should now appears in the
previously mentioned list.

Note: The linuxpluginwrapper only works on the i386™ system
architecture.
...snap

You can also try out GNUs flashplayer wich you can install
from the ports collection. /usr/ports/graphics/gnash
You can read about it here:
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/)

I myself run gnash for the moment. It's in Alpha version
so it's far from perfect, but I'm sure it will evolve in
a good way and I don't have to emulate linux.

Not with firefox, but I use www/youtube_dl and multimedia/mplayer.

You can also try graphics/gnash, which can work as a firefox plugin, but

Yup, exactly. In Python, that's what extension modules in C and C++
are for (ditto for Perl, Ruby, ...). You gain raw speed for CPU
bottlenecks, though that's just a nice side effect. More importantly,
you can tap into existing C/C++ libraries by wrapping their interfaces
into nice extension modules. And if you're too lazy do do the wrapping
against Python, Ruby, Perl... APIs yourself, just use something like
SWIG. It works like a charm. :)

Anyway, having a working knowledge of C and C++ is always a very good

Well, I gave up using /etc/fstab to mount NTFS partitions at boot time a
couple of months ago when I realized that it's not the correct way to do it
(so I also wrote an rc.d script to do the job, but I'll talk about it
later). However, I recently looked at fusefs-ntfs source files, and as you
can see from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs/Makefile in
revision 1.19, there are changes (installing a symlink) to allow using
/etc/fstab to mount NTFS partitions at boot. So I thought that maybe now
it's okay to use /etc/fstab. Anyway, if it's still not possible to use
/etc/fstab, then what does that sentence mean in the revision 1.19 of
fusefs-ntfs Makefile (again, see the URL above)?

Another question is why, even after loading the kernel module (see the

The only way I can see that working is if /usr/local/modules in

means there should be a line:
kern.module_path=/boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/usr/local/modules

Also, mount_ntfs-3g should be able to load the module dynamically.

I used to live at a campus dorm where you would get 10 Gbit outbound
traffic per 24h. If you used more than that, they would cut your
access for 48h for the first violation, then for a week on the next
violation. You would get no warning.

Although this often was more than enough, I guarded myself, by
monitoring my network usage. After 8 Gbit outbound traffic, I would
throttle my bandwidth to say 1 Mbps, and when hitting 9 GBit, to say
100 kbps, and so on.

(Actually this was more granulated, with some traffic cut off
earlier than some higher prioritized traffic)

I used some ipfw counters, and a cron job to parse the output of
ipfw show. Then I would enable some dummynet rules accordingly.

This was some years ago under 4.8, I think.
Now, I think pf has better support for this kinds of setup.

And I didn't know about the /boot/modules way. Could you please ellaborate

/boot/loader.conf? When should one use that?

And now, about coming back to using an rc.d script...After failing to use

However, this also does not work!

I have made this script executable and have put ' ntfsmount_enable=YES '

 Gary,
 
Depending on the webpages, amount of memory in use, and other 
 things, firefox did have a tendency to crash from time to time when I 
 used it. Most of the time it was an indication of bugs created by 
 over-optimized binaries or rogue plugins / add-ons / extensions.
 
conftest is run by autoconf, and a signal should only be 'thrown' 

Same here.  No clue on the aborts or the SIGSYS.  That's because
I don't watch my portupgrades.  It looks like it's time to run 
``script'' and capture stuff.

 (IIRC) if a test fails.
 
Not sure about the signal 6 (SIGABRT) and other segfault stuff though..
 
About the X11 comment.. actually a system that's heavier loaded than 
 a lighter loaded system will exhibit more issues if any exist. So the 
 more you run (at one time), the more problems you will see (possibly...).


I'm pretty sure that firefo and most everything build without
-O3.  I'll double-ck.  Anyway, if binaries crash, it should't
cause the server to power-cycle.  If it *is* heat, maybe we can
use a fan from one of my junk Kayaks... .   
 
 Grant,
 
I'd check your thermal stuff then (both on your drives and your 
 case). What might be happening is that the machine is heating up after 
 extended periods of intense computation or disk use, then it reaches the 
 threshold operating temperature, and reboots.
 


Garrett,

I'm thinking same thing with my Dell.  It's crammed in there 
and may need more space to draw in fresh air.   ...Live 'n'
learn, hopefully!

 HTH,
 -Garrett

Bonnie++ is a benchmark, to actually 'test' your harddrive you should use some

Jails and freebsd-update

2007-10-07 Thread Vinny


Hi All,

I'm setting up a server for mail and web.  I want to
put each in their own jail on a host system.  I have installed
6.2-Release on the host and successfully used freebsd-update
to grab up to -p8.  So far so good.

Now, I was going to install the jails using the standard
way (man jail):

JAIL=/path/to/jail
cd /usr/src
mkdir -p $JAIL
make world DESTDIR=$JAIL
make distribution DESTDIR=$JAIL

and so forth.

But then it occurred to me that freebsd-update says
it only works on installations that haven't been
built from source.

My question then is how can I use freebsd-update with
jails?

Thanks for any help.

Vinny

My bad: this was gigabytes. Also, it was just the outbound traffic
that was limited, not the download. (They tried to limit the use of p2p)

Hi,

Do you have options KDB in your kernel config file ?

Following your suggestion, I did try this; and there was no
change from kernel panic and reboot.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-options.html

You should get a prompt when it panics.

There was no prompt.

Then you type in bt for backtrace.
Maybe you could take a picture of that.

Personally, it's a bit embarassing to be so helpless that I am forced
to take a picture. I suppose if I could be certain about how to
compile bootblocks, I might be able to do something on the serial
console with a laptop.

But the one time I attempted that was a disaster.

Is my speculation about the ...no dump device found... correct? Is
it that swapon and multiuser has not occurred, and so there can occur
no dump to the swap space?

Probably someone is accessing a NULL pointer.

If any more damage occurs, ISTM that my entire installation will be
accessing a NULL pointer; the following message is from the most
recent dmesg, and is new:

warning: KLD '/boot/kernel.old.bootable/drm.ko' is newer than the
linker.hints file

Since my hardware appears to not work with the available source, who
knows how that will go?

/var/log/messages filling up with DHCPDISCOVER messages

2007-10-07 Thread Stephen Allen


/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf is configured with

 log-facility local7;

and /etc/syslog.conf is also configured with

 local7.*  /var/log/dhcpd.log

However, /var/log/messages is filling up with DHCPDISCOVER / no free
leases messages for those clients that are unknown to the DHCP server
(eg. on a different subnet).  I suspect that these messages are being
caught by *.notice which is why they end up in /var/log/messages.

Is there a way to prevent this happening?

Which java binary to use?

 /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/bin/java

 /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java

I would not bother as long as you do not switch the computers on in

The first thing is to be sure of getting  large enough UPS to
bridge the few-seconds power outtages or fraction/section surges.


If they define 17 minutes, this device will be good for you.

I don't want to bother with attempting to figure out why it broke.
My question is since it looks like I am stuck with Tex is there any
wyswyg editors for it?

Yes there is wyswyg editor for TeX. Look among ports. I do not use one 
like most long time TeX users as it is useless. Every time you compile 
the tex file dvi file displayed via xdvi will be automatically
updated. You can also configure Emacs so that when you press tex-view it 
opens automatically xdvi file. Just use Emacs as it is configured for 
TeXing out of box.


You sound like using TeX is a bad thing and so difficult. It is not my 
11 year old nice uses for her homeworks.

From what little experience I have with PS and *roff the idea of
hacking inline embedded languages just for typesetting sounds stupid
beyond belief now that being said since I do need to do the
following (I run a small software vendor that also does some basic CS
research):

 * Business communications
 * Technical writing (manuals)
 * Scientific writing

and since all the more traditional (sorry I do not think of any
inline text language as being traditional) word processing crash on
my machine (for programming I am very comfortable with nvi and have
never seen the need for anything else) that leaves stuff like the
embedded text langs, but for most stuff I don't want to have to write
a program (aka source code) for a Dear Customer, Your trial period
is over type letter (talk about over kill)... but if I use VI it
looks like crap so some type setting is needed

  'Anyone else seeing this/have a workaround?

 Try the fix I just committed.  It's now working for me.

I don't get it.  In the g version, linkage.c only existed for the
Mac and tops OS's not unix - why was it loaded under FreeBSD by the
old Makefile?  Your explanation in the port makes no sense as to
why it was removed - I can't understand why it was included in the
first place.

I'm interested in the issue because a while ago I tried compiling a
webmail program under FreeBSD that used the c-client libraries, and I
got it built but the program could not authenticate using the c-client
libraries.  This was using the g version.  Was something broken in
uw-imap then that they fixed in the j version, which we had hacked around
in the g version by including linkage.c?

this was a list of the related components from an email I sent in late July 
this year - I've since updated several of them ,but it still works just fine.

firefox-2.0.0.5,1
javavmwrapper-2.3
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_6
linux-flashplugin-7.0r69
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4_2

youtube works fine, except for a slight sound async in some cases, but i don't 
know if that's due to my cpu , the flash plugin or the wrapper. I dont 
particularly care really...

the flash9 plugin was having some problems when I last tested it. it may have 
been fixed, i don't know.

read the archives for instructions on how to install the plugins (hint, su root 
before installing the flash plugin with the nspluginwrapper script..
