notes on kde4.4 and pcbsd...

2010-05-14 Thread Gary Kline

my 17 pennies' worth {allowing for inflation},

i just thought i would tell anybody who is thinking of trying
pcbsd to be careful of jumping.  it is a bare min of two days for
me to install a new OS and get it even slightly close to
customized.  awhile earlier i tried to get the kde4 version of
festival/kttsd.  it strikes me as worse--maybe a resource
hog--than on this 7.3 system.  

i finally gave up and powered down.  time to reinstall ubuntu or
try freebsd on the thinkpad.  kde4 has some new type of audio
that i think sux. 

back to my copy edit with ears and eyes. and OOo :-)

cheers, people,

gary

Re: BSDStats: Project Status on May 13th, 2010

2010-05-14 Thread Jorge Medina
On Thu, May 13, 2010 at 5:05 PM, Marc G. Fournier scra...@hub.org wrote:

 Status:

  Over the past two weeks, there has been alot of work performed on the
 backend, including fixing a few bugs that were recently reported.

  As a result of using HAProxy to load balance and help ensure uptime for
 reporting clients, someone recently reported that although their sent in
 their report, their country wasn't going up in the 'Countries' states.

  This bug has been fixed (HAProxy was reporting Proxy IP vs Client IP) and
 we reset the stats period to 1st of May, causing a sharp drop in #s that has
 slowly been climbing back up again.

  The result of the change is that now Panama isn't the largest distribution
 of PC-BSD anymore, but the USofA is back in that lead, with Russia quickly
 following.

 Stats Summary:

 As of May 13th, 2010 (based on reporting ~2 weeks of reporting period since
 fix) , the project has 3 733 hosts that have reported in, broken down as
 follows:

         PC-BSD            2 357 hosts
         FreeBSD           1 243 hosts
         DesktopBSD           78 hosts
         NetBSD               34 hosts
         OpenBSD              12 hosts
         DragonFly             9 hosts
         MirBSD                0 hosts
         MidnightBSD           0 hosts
         GNU/kFreeBSD          0 hosts

 We currently have hosts being reported in from 88 countries, with the top 10
 being:

         United States             752
         Panama                    332
         Russian Federation        332
         Australia                 271
         Germany                   204
         Ukraine                   173
         Japan                     121
         Canada                    101
         Brazil                     89
         United Kingdom             89

 Project URL: http://www.bsdstats.org

 Project Objective:

 The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy
 and marketing of the *BSD operating systems.

 PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to
 enabled, while the rest have to be enabled manually.

 For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to
 set things up.

 There is now a man page / document that has been created, that contains a
 full description of the project, as well as the steps we take to ensure the
 anonymity of those reporting while maintaining the individuality of the
 reporting machines.  This can be found at:

        http://www.bsdstats.org/bsdstats-8.html

 Project Uptime:

 In the beginning, there were issues with accessibility of the servers, due
 to only having one reporting server.  We have since moved to a distributed
 cluster using HAProxy to load balance between two physical servers, with a
 third one coming online soon.  http://www.bsdstats.org isn't running on this
 new cluster yet, but work is underway to get that moved over as well, which
 we hope to have accomplished over the next couple of days.

 If you have any questions, please feel free to email me ...


But I'm sending my stats. in Chilean country mark only one system,
those system are there previously to I send my stats

RE: user friendliest gui

2010-05-14 Thread Jean-Paul Natola

You only need one of the last two things. You have to decide:

a) Want X?
   Use Tcl/Tk.
   Install both tcl and tk ports.
   Examples in /usr/local/lib/tkversion/demos.

b) Work in text mode?
   Use dialog.
   Comes with base system.
   Examples in /usr/share/examples/dialog.

c) Work in text more, but make it more complicated?
   Use ncurses and curses development kit.
   Install cdk from ports.
   Examples in /usr/local/share/examples/cdk.

Depending on your decision, the path follows. :-)

Oh, CDK is not that bad or complicated, but I think you should
go with dialog first. If you've got enough experience in
implementing shell wrappers / extenders with dialog, it
should be an easy task to do the same with Tcl/Tk. Keep in
mind that using X limits the usability of your project (which
is a very useful one per se).


No experience at all implementing shell wrappers, 
I tried installing tcltutor and that's bombing out allover the place.
this is getting too complex, I think I'll load just a desktop gui , and  put a 
clamav icon on the desktop  and just have them right click and scan drive

both on PC-BSD as well as on regular FreeBSD (allthough
it might be that KDE does many things on its own and doesn't

its very own keyboard setup controls - check them to find

 I tried installing tcltutor and that's bombing out allover the place.

So implementing a Tcl/Tk based GUI for this task isn't your goal
at the moment. So why not go with dialog? All parts you need are
in /usr/share/examples/dialog. Such a solution would be fast and
portable (because it doesn't rely on X).



 this is getting too complex, I think I'll load just a desktop gui ,

A full-featured desktop - so you're talking about KDE or Gnome.
Or maybe Xfce.

Why not use a lightweight window manager like IceWM, change its
menu file to just contain the clamav program call? So nothing
can be messed up by users who think a computer that does not
run an old-fashioned Windows is... broken? :-)

If you just want to allow your users to start ONE program, I
may point you to a program I recently found: wbar. Easy to
configure (maybe through wbarconf, but I edit the plain file),
and you can run this instead of a window manager, or you use
a window manager without any menu functionality (IceWM with
all items deleted from the menu list comes into mind).

Just some ideas.

Of course, using KDE or Gnome gives you some advantage, such as
automounting the USB stick. Luckily, you're on UNIX, so viruses,
malware, spyware and all the other crap usually found on users'
USB sticks won't harm the system. In *my* opinion, this might
be TOO MUCH overhead for such a simple task, and I would really
consider learning shell scripting with dialog, and if I got
this right and still wanted GUI, I would learn Tcl/Tk. As I
said, there are nice examples coming with the default installa-
tion for you to check out how easily it works.

In any case, *try* this setting before putting it into production.
Maybe even do stupid things, like pulling the USB stick during
scan, pulling the power cord, surf the web and download some
arbitrary software, and of course see what happens when there's
a virus or malware on the USB stick. You can get viruses and
malware for free from the Internet. :-)

If *you* can't make the scanner station unusable, your users 
hopefully can't, too. :-)

Is anyone here in this list able to find a card that have gained 1
Gbit encryption (or at least 800 mbits/s) that works for FreeBSD 8.0
or FreeBSD 8.0-Stable? It seems that Hifn support is not good at all

Hi list,

I'm with a need to run the cpuset for certain processes, for example:
run VirtualBox on CPU 1;
run firefox on CPU 0;
and the other processes are balanced between the CPU 0 and 1.

I can do this separation, but only with the root, but I need to do as

is it possible?

UFS Journaling

2010-05-14 Thread Mike Barnard
Hi,

I'm trying out gjournal before I implement if on one server. I require more
than 8 partitions, but since I cannot do this, have 9 partitions on one
slice, I have created two slices on the disk, da0s1 (100GB) and da0s2
(40GB). On the first slice, I have my usual partitions. On the second slice,
I have two partitions, each 20GB (da0s2d and da0s2e) that will be used as
the journal providers.

I need to journaled two partitions /usr (da0s1f) and /resource (da0s1g). I
have done the following to get my data providers and journal providers

-- boot into single usermode
-- unmount /usr and /resource
-- gjournal load
-- gjournal label -f da0s1f da0s2d
-- gjournal label -f da0s1g da0s2e
-- tunefs -J enable -n disable da0s1f.journal
-- tunefs -J enable -n disable da0s1g.journal
-- mount /dev/da0s1f.journal /usr and mount /dev/da0s1g.journal /resource.
Each mount with -o async
-- edited fstab to mount the data providers
-- edited loader.conf and added geom_journal_load=YES

If I enter ctrl+d, I continue to multi usermode with no problem. However, I
needed to reboot and I get the messages below when it tries to mount the
partitions:

Root mount waiting for: GJOURNAL GJOURNAL
Root mount waiting for: GJOURNAL GJOURNAL
GEOM_JOURNAL: Timeout. Journal gjournal 3033687591 cannot be completed

This goes on and on... I cannot go beyond this point. Did I miss something?

PS: I started off with a journal provider partition of 5GB and increased all
the way to 20GB. This was after I googled and read that this error will
occur if the journal provider size is small. I have attempted this with the
journal provider partions on the first slice, da0s1 and also on the second
sloce da0s2. All get me the above error.

PPS: I am doing this on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE

ipfw natd rules not loading on startup

2010-05-14 Thread umage
I performed a kernel+world update of my freebsd router, RELENG_8 branch,
apparently from the version 6 months ago to current. I use ipfw and a
shell script that gets loaded at startup. I noticed after rebooting that
ipfw did not load two rules, both of type divert natd. However, if I
run the script manually, or call it from the end of /etc/rc, it will add
these rules as well. Currently I am using a workaround.

I could not find any mention of warnings or errors in the logs. I
couldn't find any way of making ipfw log errors. I tried piping my
script's output to a file, but it did not say anything useful. Noone I
asked knew what to do. I noticed that there has been a revamp of ipfw
and its supporting scripts recently, so it's possible something broke
along the way (for example, a missing rc dependency on natd?).

Advice would be appreciated.

Re: ipfw natd rules not loading on startup

 I performed a kernel+world update of my freebsd router, RELENG_8 branch,

 shell script that gets loaded at startup. I noticed after rebooting that
 ipfw did not load two rules, both of type divert natd. However, if I
 run the script manually, or call it from the end of /etc/rc, it will add
 these rules as well. Currently I am using a workaround.

Best to ask -STABLE. There's been some breakage of ipfw since end of
April. I'm unsure as to whether they've all be resolved yet.

Cheers.

Re: Very simple file sharing between FreeBSD server and

2010-05-14 Thread Bill Tillman
I've watched this thread for several days now and to put in my 2 cents:
 
1. Samba is not that complicated. I've been using it for years and can have it 
up and configured in a matter of minutes.
 
2. Samba quickly allows you to see your FreeBSD servers from your windows 
clients just like it was a Windows Server. A simple smb.conf file is all you 
need.
 
3. You can get a lot more complex setup with Samba with security, R/W options 
etc... but for what you're descibing I'd recommend Samba or use a graphical FTP 
client on your Windows clients to access your FreeBSD server. Command line FTP 
is an option but it's a lot more complicated than just setting up Samba.
 
Good luck.

devel/autoconf262 (autoconf-2.62)

2010-05-14 Thread n dhert
When doing porutgprades, every time the report contains an ignore for
autoconf262
---  Listing the results (+:done / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
- devel/autoconf262 (autoconf-2.62)
(other portupgrades are upgraded normally)
pkg_info | grep autoconf
shows I have:
autoconf-2.62   Automatically configure source code on many Un*x
platforms
and according to www.freebsd.org/ports 2.62 is the latest version
# pkgdb -F
does not help

Why then this 'ignored' message? How to make things OK?
