Re: Linux virtualized on FreeBSD
Hey, turn on linux emulation, use jail, just start directory with all linux progs and libs. well, it makes sense for me because I need to run Sybase ASA server, which only runs on GNU/Linux. However, are you sure that this would work? I think Sybase still needs genuine Linux kernel to run.

Haven't yet felt = like wading through the swamp of troubles that seems to await those who upgrade to 7.x, but will probably have to suffer through it soon. The base system upgrade was painless as usual for me. To prevent problems with ports, I had portmaster make a list of 'leaf' ports. Then I deleted all ports, installed the new base system and re-installed the leaf ports, which took care of the dependancies. Other than that it took a long time I didn't have problems with the upgrade. Glad it went easily for you. Maybe I'll get lucky, too, but the ports subsystem has burned me so often that I'll believe the upgrade is easy when I see it happen that way. If you have it installed, try display(1) from the ImageMagick suite instead of xv. See if it makes any difference. =20 There's a thought. However, I think first I'll try setting the GELI sector size to 4 KB to see whether that evades the bug. That makes sense. I've never used anything but the default settings for new= fs.

In these reboot cases, there were anywhere from 300 MB to 700 MB free, according to top, at the times of the reboots. Also, I have a swap partition of 5 GB. Usually none of it is used. Occasionally, there's enough going on to use a smidgen of it (like right now: 60 KB used). I think maybe once or twice since I first installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 years ago I've seen the swap usage exceed 1 MB. And I only had the file system loaded to about 45% after minfree. Maybe I should try GBDE instead of GELI. I chose GELI for the=3D= 20 partition in question mainly because I was already using it for the sw= ap partition, but maybe it's still a little too green to be reliable yet. =3D20 I've used it on my /home for years without trouble. =3D46rom what I've read, GELI is supposed to be more secure.

And there seems to be a workaround in the driver on 7.x because I haven't seen the problem since the upgrade. In this case, the GELI partition is on an external (USB) drive. I've never had any trouble at all with the drive or its cable, so that's probably not the problem. Scott Bennett, Comm.

When I access my account from another machine via ftp the

Is there someway to force ftpd to report ls according to the

Any ideas please?
The FreeBSD system is 6.3-Release and the windows W2K.

It seems ftpd was started manually by root via /etc/rc.d/ftpd
with LANG=en_AU.ISO8859-1 set.
Autostart at boot of ftpd fixes problem.

Although bandersnatch is supposed to operate with jabberd, the code was not kept up to date with perl modules that were released at a later date. In order to get it to work with jabberd, you had to backport some perl modules. I think the other port I looked at at the time was wildfire, which had the same issue of a outdated plugin available to log communications that wouldn't work.

Limit # of connections per IP using ipfw?
Is there a way to limit the number of TCP connections from a particular IP at a given time using ipfw? We are running Cyrus IMAP on FreeBSD 6.2, and are sometimes subject to POP3 brute force login attacks. I'm not sure if it's Cyrus or the SASL SQL plugin, but these attacks grind the server to halt (the load level goes up beyond 350!). The database against which authentication takes places is on a separate server, so I know it's not MySQL's fault. I'd like to be able to set a firewall rule to set a reasonable limit per IP for these sorts of connections. I know that pf can do it, and I'm in the process of figuring out how to migrate all of our stuff over to pf, but in the meantime, I'd like to try to do this with ipfw.

Re: what happened to linuxflashplugin?
Let me be the one to point out the (next) controversial thing: here's a perfect example why using linux binaries for stuff like this is a dead end. And don't even start about the PC-BSD folks who want to make flash9 work via WINE. We need a native flash or a replacement for the animation side, and where flash is merely used as a video container, we have not option but to use youitube-dl, miro, and the like. But there too, some native solution is needed, otherwise it will continue to work like crap if at all. Personally, I tried both gnash and swfdec. It was several months ago. They worked just fine on some sites, silently didn't work on other sites. But the problem was that sometimes I saw another behaviour: after opening a webpage I couldn't interact with the computer at all. Mouse was moving on the screen, but nothing could be done either by mouse or keyboard. Actually, the only button working on the computer was power off on the front panel of the computer, next to reset... So, I felt browsing the internet just like a miner game: if you catch the wrong site, you need to reboot. I can't afford that, so I removed them and installed back the linux flash player. I'm not sure what exactly caused the problem - flash itself, or something between flash and KDE; I would be able to live with that if native flash didn't hang the computer, if it just didn't work silently. Have you tried native solutions recently?

Re: what happened to linuxflashplugin?
Hah! Good luck... I never got it work either, There are wrappers all other barriers to stop you. And even then it may only work intermittently. Correct me if I'm wrong guys I hear you. I have used both Firefox and Opera and have never gotten flash to work as easily and consistently as it does under Windows. When the added burden of having to use wrappers, etc, it is just not worth the hassle. I have seen references to system linking files to make flash work; however, I have better things to do than invest huge amounts of time attempting to get something to work when it is already technologically possible to do so without all that individual intervention. It does seem rather ironic that we claim that FreeBSD is a superior OS to Microsoft's Windows; however, we are unable to get even a common web add-on like flash to work reliably, consistently. Finger pointing does not alleviate the situation. About a month ago I installed it from ports along with firefox, and it was nothing more than described in the handbook. The only thing - I used nspluginwrapper instead of linuxpluginwrapper.

It's rather like the old saying in the British advertising industry: only sing in an ad if you have nothing to say. How does Flash fit in with accessibility guidelines? In many countries, a commercial site which doesn't degrade gracefully when viewed with (eg) Lynx may fall foul of legislation protecting people with disabilities such as visual impairment. You know, there are some folks out there who are still using their old M32 TTY's, and they can't understand why any folks would need mouses. Those of us who have successfully made the move to the 21st century can tell them, but honestly, most of us are very tired of hearing the same hoary old excuses why things aren't necessary. The majority of folks doing browsing today aren't impressed that maybe some 3rd world country is unhappy with flash sites, they just want their flash sites to work, and ours don't. Why don't they? Because everytime someone comes up with a workable plan, all the real cave-men out there trot out there war-stories, and bore us all to death with their memoirs, and endlessly recursive arguments. Everytime they get proven wrong on one item, they just move the clock back a few months, grab the previous self-justification, and start the argument all back up again. You can't out-last them. I don't think there's any need for gratuitous rudeness. I did stress that this is a personal opinion. Just to reiterate: I **personally** have not found any site that I /need/ to visit which /requires/ Flash to operate, and I suspect that may well be because, under legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws in other countries, this would amount to discrimination and is officially frowned upon. I still maintain that your claim that ``half the entire Web'' requires Flash is hugely overstated. Well, anyone being on the Web 5 whole minutes in a browser that can't see flash sites is perfectly well aware if I'm telling the truth or not, I'm quite willing to let folks judge the truth of that one by themselves, they don't need me or you to give them their reality. Your comment about third world countries is one of the most narrow-minded, ignorant and arrogant statements I've heard in many years of listening to petty bigots - quite apart from the fact that you're extending what I stated was a personal opinion to an entire country and continent based on your personal prejudice. (Not that it's important, by the way, but I wasn't born here: I chose to move to Africa from Europe, and I didn't like Flash much before I got here. I still don't, and I have better - though more expensive - bandwidth available to me here than I would in many rural parts of the US). And finally: ``The majority of folks doing browsing today aren't impressed that maybe some 3rd world country is unhappy with flash sites, they just want their flash sites to work''. Stop press: since 90% of the world is using Microsoft operating systems and just want their .exes to work, the FreeBSD project is closing down - it's all been a huge mistake and we're just cavemen standing in the way of progress. FreeBSD has nearly every feature that any M$ abortion has, and in nearly every base, our implementations are better than theirs are, most especially in terms of reliability, but in almost every other case. I was saying that a Huge proportion of the web sites out there make use of flash, it's the next thing to ubiquitous, and the users here, by a large fraction, want to be able to view the sites, not listen to reasons why we should wait until the rest of the web improves to your standards. Yes, things aren't perfect, but users don'[t care, they want to see it anyhow. Anybody who believes your shot at me, making it seem like I like M$, I guess that's the big lie sort of thing, I won't defend it, it's too ridiculous. I don't run any M$ sw here, and never will, but I do like to view the web, not sit and complain. We are all very well aware that M$ has been trying to hijack the HTML protocol ever since it was first put out there, and trying to ignore things isn't the way to win, it's to be better than they are, and that's something which FreeBSD has always been spectacular at. The right way has always been to make your tool work even better than the folks who are trying to hijack, and NOT to fight their incredibly powerful marketing department. Maybe in 6-12 months, the Gnash project will make all this blow over, but until then, it's still quite true.

The database against which authentication takes places is on a separate server, so I know it's not MySQL's fault. I'd like to be able to set a firewall rule to set a reasonable limit per IP for these sorts of connections. I know that pf can do it, and I'm in the process of figuring out how to migrate all of our stuff over to pf, but in the meantime, I'd like to try to do this with ipfw. You can use limit rules. This should do the trick: # ipfw add allow tcp from any to me pop3s limit src-addr 5 Check the ipfw man page section on limit for more info (though it's pretty brief). -- Chris Cowart Network Technical Lead Network Infrastructure Services, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When the added burden of having to use wrappers, etc, it is just not worth the hassle. I have seen references to system linking files to make flash work; however, I have better things to do than invest huge amounts of time attempting to get something to work when it is already technologically possible to do so without all that individual intervention. It does seem rather ironic that we claim that FreeBSD is a superior OS to Microsoft's Windows; however, we are unable to get even a common web add-on like flash to work reliably, consistently. Finger pointing does not alleviate the situation. Finger pointing is somewhat relevant. It is not a specifically technical problem, but one of politics - the unwillingness of the flash owners to release information or allow it to be built for FreeBSD. People can do some examination and create a working alternative, but it will always be based on a guess and not be able to be up-to-date without the real specs from the owner. jerry Andriy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Gnash crash
Aloha With all the noise on this list with regards to Flash and others, I decided to try gnash once again. Previously gnash would cause the processor occupancy to max out on whichever machine I tried it on. I don not care to run any Linux emulation on my systems. It is just a personal thing. I run FreeBSD and feel that is being polluted if I have to emulate any other OS. I have just ignored sites that required the use of flash. So, on to today's problem.

IMHO, for an individual to state that Flash is not a relevant issue simply because they choose not to employ it, is similar to patient claiming that cancer research is a waste of time simply because they are not afflicted with the condition. Bad analogies are like a leaky screwdriver. All throughout this thread, there have been people mixing up issues. It's true that Flash is used on many, many websites, but one of the earliest complaints I saw regarded Flash-only sites--sites which require Flash in order to navigate. These sites seem fairly rare. It is manipulative and misleading to argue that because so many sites /make use of Flash/, then /Flash has become an integral part of the web/. I browse with Flash disabled all of the time, only enabling it specifically when I need it to use the web site. It certainly happens--but it's not a constant thing. I'm aware that Flash content exists on the pages I view, but most of the time it's supplemental, and the page degrades quite nicely without it. All of this is largely irrelevant, however. If you want Flash on FreeBSD, you have a few options: - Petition Adobe to release an official version and/or reduce the phantom restrictions[1] on the binaries so that they can run under emulation. - Contribute to the Gnash project. - Modify the appropriate files under /usr/ports and install it, as others have pointed out is possible. If you want to use FreeBSD but you don't care about Flash, you have two options: - Complain to companies when their web site uses Flash poorly. - Don't go to those websites. It doesn't do any good to go around complaining on this list, as the people on this list aren't really in any position to do anything[2]. Erik [1] Others have pointed out that this restriction doesn't seem to actually exist anymore. [2] Except remove the restriction from the ports tree, assuming the license is acceptable, and /possibly/ make it easier to install, since so many users seem to have trouble with it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: what happened to linuxflashplugin?
On Wednesday 13 February 2008 20:17:03 you wrote: Let me be the one to point out the (next) controversial thing: here's a perfect example why using linux binaries for stuff like this is a dead end. And don't even start about the PC-BSD folks who want to make flash9 work via WINE. We need a native flash or a replacement for the animation side, and where flash is merely used as a video container, we have not option but to use youitube-dl, miro, and the like. But there too, some native solution is needed, otherwise it will continue to work like crap if at all. Personally, I tried both gnash and swfdec. It was several months ago. They worked just fine on some sites, silently didn't work on other sites. But the problem was that sometimes I saw another behaviour: after opening a webpage I couldn't interact with the computer at all. Mouse was moving on the screen, but nothing could be done either by mouse or keyboard. Actually, the only button working on the computer was power off on the front panel of the computer, next to reset... So, I felt I think this is problems with the various XEmbed implementations (IIRC its API itself has been a moving target too). browsing the internet just like a miner game: if you catch the wrong site, you need to reboot. I can't afford that, so I removed them and installed back the linux flash player. I'm not sure what exactly caused the problem - flash itself, or something between flash and KDE; On konqueror, (kde3), I can confirm that the newer style xembed as used in the linux flash 9 has not yet been (completely?) put into its nsplugin code. For me, flash7 works, flash9 almost never. It likely depends on which (missing) xembed thingies are used. Then there's the general bugginess of the flash9 plugin. Whenever konqi seems to choke up my box, I killall -9 nspluginviewer. Add to that, last time I looked at it, it looked that (konqueror) the way nspluginviewer invokes the actual npviewer.bin out-of-process and its killing (if needed) seems errant. There's some RedHat patches that can make this a little better. I would be able to live with that if native flash didn't hang the computer, if it just didn't work silently. Have you tried native solutions recently? See above. I sometimes use linux-firefox if I really need to. And for youtube etc I made an add-on to kmplayer (which port I maintain) called tubestuff, that can bypass kmplayer's normal url handling and instead download and play the video via dcop. It's not extremely robust but works fairly well for me (I don't mind the download time which is typically half of the video playtime). It's not in ports yet, sorry (and it needs to be updated to use the new youtube-dl, and I noticed today that my liveleak-dl script doesn't seem to work anymore). Maybe Qt's ActiveQt (wrapper for windows' activex) might be of some value to implement active x support to some extend and use the windows targetted controls rather than NSplugin.

I do wish people would not be happy about missing users. Being rid of all the morons means that we are also rid of proper attention from companies like Adobe and Nvidia. Some of us see that as a drawback. No, this isn't true at all for the hardware vendors like Nvidia. When a hardware vendor contemplates entering a market like FreeBSD they have 3 major concerns. First, is market size. However, second is ease of porting to the OS, and last is the liklihood of having to supply technical support. If you have a large market but everyone in the market is a moron and will be calling you for tech support, your going to make less money than a smaller market where everyone is an expert and nobody is calling you for tech support. What is double plus good is that there's experts floating around in the small market who will do your support for you, including writing your drivers, all you have to do is supply a minimal set of programming interface docs. This is a far cry from Windows where you have to write and debug the driver and pay Microsoft a lot of money to get it certified. I think you're overlooking a major drawback of having less mindshare, though. As more hardware vendors finally start to see the light, and release open source drivers, they have a tendency to follow the licensing model Linux uses because that's the open source OS with which they're familiar. That means that, a dismaying percentage of the time, we don't get BSD-licensed (or similarly permissively licensed) drivers. I, for one, am not pleased with this state of affairs. As for attention from Adobe, doesen't it bother you to use a free OS merely as a platform for running commercial software? How about ditching the commercial software completely and using free open source tools on the free OS? That's what FreeBSD is all about, honey. In theory, I'm with you. In practice, I have the Linux Flash player plugin and Neverwinter Nights installed on this laptop (both from FreeBSD ports) -- neither of which is open source.

Are we talking about using md(4) to create a virtual disk in RAM, then putting your swap there? If so . . . why? Do you just lack understanding of what swap is? Say you have 100 MB of RAM and 50 MB of swap on disk. When your system uses more than 100 MB of memory, it fills up RAM, and the extra spills over into swap. Now, let's say your 50 MB of swap is in md(4). This means you have 50 MB of free RAM and 50 MB of swap in RAM. When your system uses up more than 50 MB of memory, the extra spills over into the md(4) swap. When your system uses more than 100 MB of memory, though, as in the first example, well . . .

Re: Kernel Panic with heavy disk i/o while running on battery
The machine passed the memory test while on battery fine. however, while on battery the checksum failed with i/o errors, it did complete the checksum normally while on AC. I think my next step will be to try and disable acpi, and to try and reproduce the error again. i suppose it could be an issue with a flakey controller, but I havent seen any related issues while I was running windows or ubuntu on the machine. if it isn't an issue with power management, I guess I'll learn some kernel debugging.

Re: what happened to linuxflashplugin?
On Thursday 14 February 2008 00:14, Erik Osterholm wrote: IMHO, for an individual to state that Flash is not a relevant issue simply because they choose not to employ it, is similar to patient claiming that cancer research is a waste of time simply because they are not afflicted with the condition. Bad analogies are like a leaky screwdriver. All throughout this thread, there have been people mixing up issues. It's true that Flash is used on many, many websites, but one of the earliest complaints I saw regarded Flash-only sites--sites which require Flash in order to navigate. These sites seem fairly rare. It is manipulative and misleading to argue that because so many sites /make use of Flash/, then /Flash has become an integral part of the web/. I browse with Flash disabled all of the time, only enabling it specifically when I need it to use the web site. It certainly happens--but it's not a constant thing. I'm aware that Flash content exists on the pages I view, but most of the time it's supplemental, and the page degrades quite nicely without it. This is the best summary of the issues I've seen in this thread. One last time, because we're going round in circles: I don't have a problem with people putting in the effort to get Flash working: I'd be even happier if Adobe would do it themselves; but there's not much that Flash is essential for, and to claim that ``half the entire Web'' is unusable without Flash, seems somewhat overstated. There are many sites which degrade, more or less gracefully, in the absence of Flash, but, like Erik, I don't come across many that are completely unusable. In fact, browsing with Konqueror, I have more problem with Java, faulty Javascript and AJAX than with Flash. I still haven't seen any comeback on the accessibility issue: is it really the case that banks in the USA (for example) have websites that are not accessible to a section of the population, and that this isn't covered by the ADA?

OffTopic: FreeBSD Lists doesn't add Reply-to Header, workaround?
Hello, First of all I am so sorry to send this here, but it doesn't fit in any mailing list, Not procmail nor mutt, So I apologize again for being that off-topic. All FreeBSD Lists does not add the header Reply-to to the e-mail sent and thus when I receive an email from the List and hit reply, it replies to the sender not the list, and If I choose reply to all, it replies to the Sender and Cc to the list, this is not at all good, I'll explain below. I've almost the setup of every command-line lover, fetchmail+procmail as backend, and Mutt to read the email, procmail Automatically detects the e-mail coming from a Mailing list due to the following set of rules[1], anyway the problem I am having is not good because everyone who has a similar setup as me, will receive the Reply that I have sent outside the List folder because none of the rules above matches this email. Probable solution: I thought of expanding the rules above to, before sending the email to the folder, check if Reply-to is present, if not Add the e-mail with the header X-BeenThere to a new Reply-to header using formail and then move it to the folder... So what do you think guys? Could this be a good solution? Any easier/better solution? How do you handle it guys?? Thank you.
