Re: About suidperl in FreeBSD
The things you've tried don't make any sense to me; where did you get such weird advice? I'd say to get rid of the things you added, then # cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.12 (or the directory for which ever other perl you want), then # make config (so you can select the SUIDPERL option), then # make clean install clean I would also suggest that you take a look at the ports section in the FreeBSD Handbook, and then the manual page. Since Perl 5.12 there is no SUIDPERL option in config. I compiled 5.10 and now I have /usr/local/bin/suidpperl. The big problem is: everything I compiled depending on perl is linked against 5.12 and some apps are broken (spamassassin, for example). How could I find every port that depends on 5.12 and recompile with 5.10? thanks Alberto Mijares ___ 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

Well, you are going to have difficulty putting 50 GB on a 39 GB partition. (25GB + 25GB = 50GB). It won't work. You could try compressing the dump, but dump files do not tend to compress well and even if you got a 50% compression, you would still be really close to overfill. Probably you need to go to the store and get a nice big USB drive and slice and partition it in to a bunch of 50 GB partitions and pipe your dump to a restore in those partitions on that drive. You can round-robin your backups to those USB partitions. My backup to a USB hard drive just saved me the beginning of this week when the old machine died of heat prostration. Dump is supposed to take only the used space. Yes. He already has 25 GB used on the partition and wants to add another approx 25 GB in a 39 GB partition.

well, i forget that i am/was using the linux stty, so my

because there may be somed differences between the bsd

this hads to do with my port of the python key-click script
i was asking about about a week ago. i do have something
working in C/C++. i'm getting going with the volume option
today.
i just wanted some few lines of C to replace the system()

I have the following in my .mailfilter file (this is outside of
any specific filtering rule):
logfile Mail/maildrop.log
Maybe use an absolute path like ~/Mail/maildrop.log or
$HOME/Mail/maildrop.log?

I've only seen at most a single delivery noted in it each time I've

Let me correct that: I'm seeing the deliveries for a single instance of
maildrop only each time, not necessarily just a single delivery.
Let me see if an absolute path will somehow make a difference...
Well, that didn't have any effect. Just tried using:
logfile ${HOME}/Mail/maildrop.log
Same behavior. This is really odd. Maybe I'll try rebuilding/
reinstalling maildrop. May be some quirk related to having built it
under 9.0-BETA2 and then running it now under 9.0-BETA3? Who
knows? :-)
Anyway, like I just mentioned in #bsdports a few minutes ago, maildrop
is already working so well, I hardly even need any logging. But I'd
still like to clear up this mystery. I hate things like this! :-)
As an aside to anyone still hesitant to convert from procmail to
maildrop:
Fear not! It's a remarkably easy transition, and the .mailfilter
syntax is *so* much less arcane than procmail's. A real breath of
fresh air, if I do say so. :-)

Re: Volume control in mplayer resetting 50% when starting / stopping video clips
try the following: rm /var/db/mixer*-state sysctl hw.snd.vpc_reset=1 sysctl hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0 echo hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0 /etc/sysctl.conf cheers. alex Thank you very much Alex :) I was getting an error with this command: systcl hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0 but it was a typo on my part, it sysctl not systcl :) Also, the first time I had put sysctl hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf and there should have been no sysctl call :) but I have fixed this. The instructions you have provided do the job and it is working on 2 out of 2 machines (8.2 amd 64 machines). I am a very happy camper!

For me too. But i make csup yesterday, and when i build it. I get

Hmmm, most peculiar. My last update was Wed Sep 28 04:37:01 CDT.
Was your last kernel/world build a clean build? You may want to try
updating your sources, nuking /usr/obj, and rebuilding/installing,
just in case there's a bit of incompatible cruft lying about somewhere
(not likely, I know, but it doesn't hurt to make sure).
Also, I have my plugins setup in a local, rather than a system-wide
fashion. I did do a normal install from ports of all of the relevant
packages, but then I either copied or symlinked the needed stuff under
${HOME}/.mozilla. I remember when I first went about setting up the
flash plugin and the plugin wrapper, I couldn't get it to work properly
until I did this.
Honestly, I don't know exactly why I've been spared from this recent
round of complaints I've seen from people re: flash, acroread, etc. and
the linux emulator in general. I'm just glad that I have! Must be
living right. :-)

Re: Printing using CUPS
El día Friday, September 30, 2011 a las 04:57:14PM -0400, Carmel escribió: I am in the process of setting up a Brother MFC-9560CDW printer on a FreeBSD-8.2 amd64 machine. It is a network printer and works fine with the Windows machines on the network. Not so much with the FreeBSD machine. CUPS detects the printer: Description: Brother MFC-9560CDW Location: Local Printer Driver: Brother MFC-9560CDW CUPS (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: lpd://BRW0022587025CB/BINARY_P1 Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided However, the connection does not work correctly. I changed it to:lpd://192.168.1.100/BINARY_P1 and I can print a self text page from CUPS. However, I cannot print a test page from within CUPS, nor can I print anything from any other application. I have perused the log files without any success. This limited printing has got me totally baffled. I am open to suggestions as to what to try next. While configuring the printer in CUPS, have you used some PPD file? If so, check the PPD file which filter it will use. Set also the LogLevel to 'debug' in cupsd.conf, print a text file and check the messages in CUPS' log file.
