What do you mean exactly? What language(s)? If I understand your

'newline' character is '\n'
I meant what ascii character does \n actual correspond to (I assume CR
but just making sure)
$ perl -e 'print ord(\n), \n'

$ python -c 'print ord(\n)'

$ ruby -e 'puts \n[0]'

FreeBSD FireWire
Hi all !
I'm trying to read from two firewire DV cameras.
calling fwcontrol without arguments shows me three elements.
except EUI64 field, every datas (node, ...) change when I plug in or out a
device.
when I'm trying to read from my cameras' streams (using fwcontrol), I always
get the same stream, which is the one of the last camera I pluged in.
Reading the sources, I noticed you can specify your source in fwcontrol,
using option 'u'.
this option makes an strtol on the following argument, and uses it back to
open /dev/fw%d.0
so I looked my /dev, and all I got is fw0, fw0.0, fwmem0, fwmem-0.0
fw0 and wfmem0 are respectives links to fw0.0 and fwmem0.0
so, whatever i could ask, i'll always get the same source camera.
When there already is a plugged firewire device, I can plug in or out others
FW devices, without affecting my /dev.
How can I do to get all my FW devices associed to a file in /dev?
Thanks for your help.
Sorry for my english.

Wordpad is to the rich text control as Notepad is to the edit control. Probably (meaning I don't know it for a fact) they were both originally written as testbeds/demos for the controls, which are used throughout Windows.

DHCP using ral
I'm trying to set up a connection between an FBSD box and a wireless access point. The background is that there's no security on this network; as the person who set it up says, You just start your computer and it works! I have an XP box with a wireless NIC working, but I don't want to use the XP box as the gateway for my personal lan to an insecure network. On the XP box, if I point a browser to 192.168.1.1, I'm told that the router is WRT54GX2, which I take to be a popular Linksys router. I don't have physical access to the router and I don't have the password for the router. I've got a wireless Linksys NIC that uses the ral driver facing the wireless router. The NIC facing my lan uses the em driver and is working fine. uname -a says FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0. In rc.conf I have ifconfig_ral0=DHCP After booting, if I ping 192.168.1.1, I get no route to host and I have no lease file in /var/db. ifconfig ral0 tells me that I have no inet address associated with ral0, status is no carrier, and the ssid is an empty string. dhclient ral0 sends a series of DHCPDISCOVER messages, but I get no DHCPOFFER messages, and I get an empty lease file. If I run ifconfig ral0 again, inet is 0.0.0.0, status is associated, and ssid is the proper ssid for the wireless router. ifconfig ral0 list scan gives the proper information for the router. At some point I did get a proper lease. I don't know when or how. I've never had a usable connection to the router from the FBSD box, and I've never had access to the nameservers listed in the lease. If I rename the old lease file to dhcp.leases.ral0, and then run dhclient ral0, I send 3 DHCPREQUEST messages, 2 DHCPDISCOVER messages, 2 DHCPREQUEST messages, and 6 DHCPDISCOVER messages. dhclient tells me that no DHCPOFFERs were received, and it binds to the address in lease file, 192.168.1.104. However, ifconfig ral0 shows no inet address. I still can't ping the router. ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.1.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 assigns the specified values. Ping no longer tells me that there's no route to the host, but I'm getting about 95% packet loss. netstat -r now shows that link1 (ral0) is the gateway to 192.168.1.0. I still don't have a usable connection. resolv.conf says nameserver 192.168.0.1, which is the nameserver for my personal lan. I can't nslookup URLs outside of my lan. If I manually add the nameservers in the dhcp lease, I can nslookup www.google.com. But ping has 100% packet loss. /etc/hosts associates 127.0.0.1 with localhost.krig.net, and 192.168.0.6 with stamfordbru.krig.net, which is correct for my lan. I'm stumped. :) I don't know if this is related; the XP box is telling me that the router has no connection to the internet, but it obviously does have a connection because the XP box can load web pages and I can use my gmail account.

Re: Re: Re: Which latex should I install
I wanted to ask, but neglected to until now, did you install from the DVD or the network? Also, did you install for FreeBSD (pre-compiled binaries), or I initially tried the network installation, but there are so many packages/files to retrieve that I quit and went for the DVD install. I recommend just downloading the DVD image; I believe it's compressed with lzma2, which means the total data transfer should be much smaller. I installed the linux (or platform-independent) version.

Hello,
Here is a perl hack I use to automatically read and parse UPDATING as part
of my daily upgrade routine. It is part of a larger set of five scripts
which use:
1. csup to update ports
2. make index to update the /usr/ports/INDEX
3. pkg_version to identify the ports that need upgrading
4. portfetch to download the tarballs
5. a script to display the relevant contents, if any, of UPDATING using
the hack shown below and the contents identified in step 3 above.
These five scripts are combined in a master script (csup-all) which I
invoke the first thing in the morning. After doing some other morning
chores I then run portconfig -a -v to set up any configuration settings
prior to running portmaster -a -u. Everything is automatic except for
the configuration.
Here is the perl hack. It can be improved by comparing the ports that need
to be updated (step 3) with the ports specified within UPDATING (step 5).
The embedded ansi codes will work with the default FreeBSD console
settings, otherwise they can be removed.

Hi Carmel, Do you have problems with sound only on Firefox ? If your problem is that you can't get sound with any application, then please see the output of 'cat /dev/sndstat'. If you get nothing, then you probably don't have an appropriate sound driver loaded. If you have an Intel-based board, try putting snd_ich_load=YES and snd_hda_load=YES into your /boot/loader.conf If your problem is Firefox-specific, then try editing Tools-Options. On the Applications tab, see whether you have an entry for MP3 Format Sounds and that it set to something reasonable. -- Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-96500-10329 Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.

Re: DHCP using ral
Manolis Kiagias napsal(a): Robert Hall wrote: I'm trying to set up a connection between an FBSD box and a wireless access point. The background is that there's no security on this network; as the person who set it up says, You just start your computer and it works! I have an XP box with a wireless NIC working, but I don't want to use the XP box as the gateway for my personal lan to an insecure network. On the XP box, if I point a browser to 192.168.1.1, I'm told that the router is WRT54GX2, which I take to be a popular Linksys router. I don't have physical access to the router and I don't have the password for the router. I've got a wireless Linksys NIC that uses the ral driver facing the wireless router. The NIC facing my lan uses the em driver and is working fine. uname -a says FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0. In rc.conf I have ifconfig_ral0=DHCP After booting, if I ping 192.168.1.1, I get no route to host and I have no lease file in /var/db. ifconfig ral0 tells me that I have no inet address associated with ral0, status is no carrier, and the ssid is an empty string. dhclient ral0 sends a series of DHCPDISCOVER messages, but I get no DHCPOFFER messages, and I get an empty lease file. If I run ifconfig ral0 again, inet is 0.0.0.0, status is associated, and ssid is the proper ssid for the wireless router. ifconfig ral0 list scan gives the proper information for the router. At some point I did get a proper lease. I don't know when or how. I've never had a usable connection to the router from the FBSD box, and I've never had access to the nameservers listed in the lease. If I rename the old lease file to dhcp.leases.ral0, and then run dhclient ral0, I send 3 DHCPREQUEST messages, 2 DHCPDISCOVER messages, 2 DHCPREQUEST messages, and 6 DHCPDISCOVER messages. dhclient tells me that no DHCPOFFERs were received, and it binds to the address in lease file, 192.168.1.104. However, ifconfig ral0 shows no inet address. I still can't ping the router. ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.1.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 assigns the specified values. Ping no longer tells me that there's no route to the host, but I'm getting about 95% packet loss. netstat -r now shows that link1 (ral0) is the gateway to 192.168.1.0. I still don't have a usable connection. resolv.conf says nameserver 192.168.0.1, which is the nameserver for my personal lan. I can't nslookup URLs outside of my lan. If I manually add the nameservers in the dhcp lease, I can nslookup www.google.com. But ping has 100% packet loss. /etc/hosts associates 127.0.0.1 with localhost.krig.net, and 192.168.0.6 with stamfordbru.krig.net, which is correct for my lan. I'm stumped. :) I don't know if this is related; the XP box is telling me that the router has no connection to the internet, but it obviously does have a connection because the XP box can load web pages and I can use my gmail account. Thanks for any help. I happen to have a Linksys router (not the same model though) and a Linksys pci card that uses the ral driver. Never had any problems, though I am not using DHCP. Here are a few manual steps to try: First off, try setting the ssid on the command line: ifconfig ral ssid Myssid Some wireless interfaces need to be gone UP by hand so set ssid by previous command and then execute ifconfig ral0 up william Execute ifconfig by itself, and see if you get an associated message. (you may have to wait a minute before you do) If you don't, chances are the following will do nothing dhclient ral0 if this does not succeed, set an IP address manually: ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 Before attempting to test the internet connection, add the router as nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and don't forget to add the router's address as the default gateway: route add default 192.168.1.X From my experience, the important part is to get the associated message after the initial ifconfig. Not much hope otherwise. As an afterthought, is the XP machine on while you are trying to connect? If they are too close they maybe interfering. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I believe since you are declaring the array as having a fixed number of
elements, you must declare the function to take it the same way, like this:
extern int plate_shift(struct CONTINENT *[10][10],int,float);
Without the 10,10 size definition, the plate_shift function would have no
idea how big the array of pointers actually is.

Close. If you pass a two-dimensional array as an argument, you must specify at least the number of elements in the minor dimension, so the compiler will know how to compute, for example, the offset of array[3][0] versus array[6][0]. So this works: extern int plate_shift(struct CONTINENT *[][10], int, float); But the following doesn't work, because it doesn't tell the compiler how to compute the offsets: extern int plate_shift(struct CONTINENT *[10][], int, float); Of course, it doesn't hurt to specify the number of elements in both dimensions. But it would be a less general solution, With only the minor dimension specified, plate_shift can take pointers to arrays of 20, 30, 40, 100 or 200 CONTINENT structures. Any multiple of 10 will do. (But then you need to tell plate_shift when it's reached the last set of pointers, or it might run off the end of the array. The usual way to handle this is to use all NULLs in the last row, as a kind of sentinel.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
