If you are using a xdsl connection, or if you are

It now works with all filesystems and is up to version

  Get a Dell diagnostic disk for your system, and
 run the hard drive test.  It 
  ought to see the problems, which you can then
 report back to Dell in order to 
  get them to do something.
  
   Sorry, I should have mentioned I used the BIOS

k3b cannot locate growisofs executable

2004-09-20 Thread BSDjunkie
FreeBSD users:

I have yet another question

I installed k3b for cd/dvd burning, however whenever I
try to burn a DVD, I get the error message:

'unable to find growisofs executable'

It's in /usr/local/bin and '/usr/local/bin' is in the
paths that k3b searches...

I tried pkg_delete dvd+rw-tools, then I did a
portinstall sysutils/dvd+rw-tools (from /usr/ports
directory) to reinstall it.

Just can't make k3b find itall other executables
and plugins that it needs are present and have the
green check next to them in the 'programs' section of
the configuration.

I'm using k3b.0.11.12 with kde 3.2.3

When I type in the commandline growisofs --version, I
get:
rowisofs by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 5.21

Any pointers, as always are appreciated...

Maybe reinstall k3b ?

Chiang,

Been there myself.

You need to load a kernel module:

kldload linprocfs.ko

and then mount the linux process file system.

I have in my /etc/fstab:

linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc   linprocfs
  rw 0   0

(the above should only be on one line)

After mounting the linprocfs and doing a 'make clean',
then recompiling I was able to get java installed.

I know it takes a long time to compile...but it was
the only way that I could get it to work myself.

Hope this helps,

ATAPICAM - cdrecord will not recognize my DVD burner

2004-09-19 Thread BSDjunkie
FreeBSD Enthusiasts,

I have been using cdrecord since I built my system. I
have an Asus A7N8X delux motherboard, AMD 3200+ cpu,
2G of ram and (2) 15,000 rpm scsi drives.

I recently bought a Toshiba DVD+r/-r burner, which I
replaced my DVDr/CDRW drive with.

The new drive is detected at bootup:

acd0: DVDR TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-H552B at ata0-master
PIO4

However, cdrecord --scanbus no longer can see the
drive through scsi emulation.

I tried to load the cam module, but it is already
loaded.

I am using 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9.

Any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.

Thanks for your consideration,

Mark Withers

Other than what I mention in my post, there's nothing

I'll see if there's an option atapicam that I can
include in my kernel config file.

Re: Install errors on old HP machine

2004-09-12 Thread BSDjunkie
Jouke,

Does the old pc already have an operating system on
it?

If not,  you could try installing DOS on it and then
copying rawrite.exe (I think it's called under
'dostools' folder from cd) to the hard drive and
creating the boot discs on the machine that will be
using them.

Sometimes floppy drives can be aligned very
differently and creating them on the machine you'll be
using them on makes a bit of a differance.

Wow! 66mhzmakes me yearn for my old 486 DX2 66
with 32M of ramthat my friend is a test in
patience.

But if you want to use it as a firewall and put say
two isa nics in it...then go for it. Mine lasted a
couple of years before the hard drives in it started
going out.

Let me know how it goes. Feel free to write.

I always have better luck at slower speedsnever

Re: Can i make a CD of the Ports Collection

You can also reinstall the ports tree from the iso

There's an install script on the cd that you can run

ports tree.

Updating should be done through cvsup if possible.

 In that case, use whether cvsup or method above to
 get a recent ports
