evince problem

2010-06-13 Thread Istvan Galgand
Dear All,

Gnome desktop. Right click e.g. on BSD_06_2010.pdf icon, selecting open with 
document viewer. A few seconds later the process dies.
Regarding the issue by means of Google I have found two pieces of information. 
First: check the content of /etc/rc.conf:
dbus_enable=YES, it is included. Second: use ePDFViewer instead of document 
viewer. I am actually using this and doing a very
nice job... My question is, shall I give up using document viewer or is there 
any idea how to put document viewer into
operation? One more thing:

pkg_version -v | grep evince
evince-2.30.1_1 =   up-to-date with port

Thanks,
Istvan

Hi Tony,

You are absolutely right, I have tried this. Sorry for my forgetfulness...
The response is:

[igalg...@freebsd02 /usr/home/igalgand/Desktop/Test]$ evince BSD_06_2010.pdf

** (evince:1263): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error opening

Being aware of this error message still I do not know how to mitigate, how to

I think I've seen this before. It doesn't care about the file (it just
creates it if it is missing) but my guess is you are missing the
directory. So try something like

mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/evince

closing X

2010-06-13 Thread Derek Funk
I have setup PCBSD and a Standard Freebsd with gui. and kbunto. They do 
not close X completely.  I get a flashing screen.
I can still type commands while the screen flashes.  I have done a 
google search but nothing seems to match my problem.


I installed opensolaris and it doesn't do this but I want bsd.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that has intel mobile graphics. Is 
this something with the intel graphics driver or an installed software 
conflict.


Any help is appreciated.

 Any password known to a group of people quickly becomes public
 knowledge. If you really need to restrict access to a share, this won't
 do it securely. 

There may be another way to implement this functionality - not by
passwords, but by group permissions.

Create the different share directories as needed and give them the
following settings: owner = project leader, group = project group.
Then add the users belonging to the project group to that group,
so they will be able to access the share. Other groups and people
won't have access (u=rw,g=rw,o=nothing). If a user is delegated to
another group, remove him from the project group, and add him to
his new group.

In this way, it's enough for a user to know his own password.



 I'm pretty sure you can integrate Samba into such a system, but
 how to do it is a Samba related question, not a FreeBSD question.

It can easily be done using UFS's user:group and permission
system. I'm not sure in how far it can be manipulated by a
Windows client, but finally, there could be an SSH access
with proper rights for a responsible person to take care of
the settings. A dialog based wrapper around pw calls could
also be implemented very fast.

 ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device
 fsck_ufs: /dev/da0: can't read disk label

You said there was also /dev/da0a, maybe you can check this partition?
Make sure, for the first try, to use the -d flag (debug), so there are
no changes to the file system.



 I forget what layout the disk has. Normally I used /dev/da0s1d
 to mount the disk.

There should be more than one copy of the partition table on the disk.
I'm not sure if I'm mixing up things here, but fsck_ffs also allows
you to refer to a different superblock. Use

# newfs -N /dev/da0a

to print out superblock locations; this command will NOT create a
file system!

Use fsck_ffs -bblock to refer to a possible alternate superblock
for checking.

The beauty of FreeBSD (and the Unix philosophy in general) is that
simplicity is systemic.  Things work together because they're aligned 
consistently
and without fluff.

I'm certainly in favor of anything that helps the newbie (I'm still a
newbie on a lot of fronts myself) without damaging that simple
consistency.

The trap into which so-called user-friendly systems often fall is the
idea that we can help make things simpler for the user by just tacking on
some wizard or UI that will lead them through the process without making
them think about what they're doing.  Those specialized, tacked on
helpers end up creating a nightmare of inconsistent time-wasters that
don't provide access to all available options and in the end just obscure
the problem rather than simplifying it.

A true help for the newbie is something that helps move them out of
that status -- something that provides the necessary steps, but also
educates the user on what exactly is being done and why.  That opens a
larger world for future exploration.

  Call me fatalistic, but I think there is a direct relationship between

 I believe there is such a relationship, too.  I think the obvious way to
 interpret this recognition of the relationship is as a causal
 relationship where lack of popularity is what (helps/makes) FreeBSD
 maintain higher quality, but I think that's mostly the wrong way around.
 
 Rather, it is the focus on quality over quantity that keeps it
 unpopular (relative to other OSes, anyway).  I also believe that is the
 correct decision, without reservation.  There are things that could be
 done to improve FreeBSD's suitability and attractiveness to a wider
 audience without sacrificing that focus on quality at all -- that could,
 in fact, improve that attractiveness while serving the focus in quality.
 Such things tend to get neglected, though, and I think it is in part
 because of a negative reaction to the idea that populism involves
 sacrifices of quality.
 
 Popularity, per se, does not result in poorer quality.  Populism,
 however, does -- and both greater popularity *and* a desire for greater
 popularity can create populism.  Note that I'm using the term populism
 in a pejorative, apolitical sense, and not in the sense of advocacy for
 the rights of the people, et cetera.
 
 Anyway . . . for my OS of choice (FreeBSD at the moment), I'd much rather
 err on the side of elitism and quality than on that of egalitarianism and
 quantity.  I just find the occasional statement (which I do *not* think
 is what you were saying) that we should actively *avoid* popularity for
 the sake of quality quite annoying.  I just find the occasional statement
 (which I do *not* think is what you were saying) that we should actively
 *avoid* popularity for the sake of quality . . . well, I find it quite

I've become an advocate for FreeBSD -- I'd like to see many more people
using it.  But I have no illusions that it will ever reach the vast
majority of computer users without being wrapped in a candy coating like
OS/X.  The real audience, I think, are the thousands of developers who
could appreciate a system like FreeBSD but who have never been
introduced to it.

Sorry, meant to reply to the list.

pptp VPN dropping

2010-06-13 Thread Mario Lobo
Hi;

I have the following situation:

FBSD 8-STABLE firewall/vpn server (poptop)to a windows network, authenticating 
to an AD 2008 as radius.

Everything seems working ok. I connect to the LAN through an XP machine. Auth 
works fine, the tunnel is up, and I can ping and see every server on the LAN 
and run terminal services sessions on the servers from the XP machine.

However, when I try accessing the exchange 2008 server (https / owa) via web 
through its LAN ip, the page starts loading, the outlook page with the list of 
e-mails shows up but just before it finishes, the tunnel drops as if I had 
disconnected the VPN interface.

Ok, the DOS partition table looks likely intact; it says you have one

Checking .. 14593 * 255 * 63 = 234436545 sectors, less

Yes, as it should.  You haven't lost your MBR  partition table, but it 
appears you may have lost the bsdlabel at the beginning of slice 1; this 
is likely why FreeBSD only finds /dev/da0 and (perhaps) /dev/da0a ..

In the absence of a label on slice 1 (listing FreeBSD partitions c, the 
whole slice, and one or more of a, b, d - h) the system seems to assume 
this is a 'dangerously dedicated' disk, with no slices, covering the 
whole disk - but still with no label.  I think the system is probably
assuming wrongly here, from a missing or damaged label.

Polytropon's advice to dd the whole drive to somewhere is excellent if 
you have 114GB spare somewhere - but if you don't, at least dd the first 
126 or so sectors to a file in case of further disasters.

  I forget what layout the disk has. Normally I used /dev/da0s1d to mount the 
  disk.
  
  What the next step should I do?

First, to see if there's any meaningful label there, try just:

# bsdlabel /dev/da0s1

If that disk just had a single 'd' partition, as sounds maybe likely?, 
and it doesn't show up with the above command, then you may get away 
with just making a fresh label for the whole slice, with just 'c' and 
'd' partitions, both of size 234436482 sectors.

I'm not the best person to advise on the right bsdlabel command, so I 
won't speculate (possibly mis-advising you) on that.  If you had other 
partitions than just 'd' in that slice then working out the boundaries 
and sizes will be a lot more complex, but if just one it looks fixable.

Of course, if the label at the beginning of slice 1 was clobbered, so 
may have been other data, but with a new label you might be able to 
recover it with 'fsck da0s1d' if the filesystem is more or less intact.

It's always worth keeping a copy of the output of bsdlabel for every 
FreeBSD slice somewhere safe (like on paper!) for times such as these.

cheers, Ian

Re: How to make macromedia flash working from Opera?

2010-06-13 Thread Samuel Martín Moro
I am not an Opera user, but assuming it works like other browsers (AFAIK
firefox/mozilla), you may have to link/copy the plugin into
~/.opera/[.*/]*plugin[s]/, or /usr/local/.*/opera/[.*/]*plugin[s]/

Lpr 'queue full error

2010-06-13 Thread Al Plant

Aloha,

I have a network HP Laserjet 1100 printer that has been running with out 
failure since 2004 on my office lan using aps2 filter on a FreeBSD 4.9 
Lpr print server. It became intermittent recently in that it prints 
files from the command line only. The gui's on the three desktop boxes 
on the lan (all FreeBSD 8  9) no longer print.


The error is queue is full when print job is sent from a gui. It works 
fine from the command line. Could the aps2 filter have failed?


Any suggestions as to what to look for appreciated. Search only showed 
similar questions no answers.


Thanks,

FreeBSD+ZFS+Samba: open_socket_in: Protocol not supported - after a few days?

2010-06-13 Thread Martin Minkus
Samba 3.4 on FreeBSD 8-STABLE branch.

After a few days I start getting weird errors and windows PC's can't
access the samba share, have trouble accessing files, etc, and samba
becomes totally unusable.

Restarting samba doesn't fix it – only a reboot does.

 

Accessing files on the ZFS pool locally is fine. Other services (like
dhcpd, openldap server) on the box continue to work fine. Only samba
dies and by dies I mean it can no longer service clients and windows
brings up bizarre errors. Windows can access our other samba servers (on
linux, etc) just fine.

The code in lib/util_sock.c, around line 902:

In other words, it looks like something in the kernel is exhausted
(what?). I don’t know if tuning is required, or this is some kind of
bug?

/boot/loader.conf:

mvs_load=YES
zfs_load=YES

#vfs.zfs.arc_max=1536M

vfs.zfs.arc_min=512M
vfs.zfs.arc_max=3072M



I’ve played with a few sysctl settings (found these recommendations
online, but they make no difference)


/etc/sysctl.conf:

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=2097152

net.inet.tcp.sendspace=262144
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=262144
net.inet.tcp.mssdflt=1452

net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65535

net.local.stream.recvspace=65535
net.local.stream.sendspace=65535

Any ideas on what could possibly be going wrong?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Martin

Re: closing X

I have setup PCBSD and a Standard Freebsd with gui. and kbunto. They do

I can still type commands while the screen flashes. I have done a google

I installed opensolaris and it doesn't do this but I want bsd.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that has intel mobile graphics. Is
this something with the intel graphics driver or an installed software
conflict.



Does it sound similar to this issue?
