VESA Driver or NVIDIA Driver on Consoles, possible?
I was reading on the manual page for vidcontrol and began wondering if I can configure my system: 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8 #1: Sun Jun 27 16:46:47 JST 2004 i386 Video Card: GeForce NVIDIA FX-5500 Can I utilize its vesa driver or maybe my NVIDIA driver on my consoles. I have invoked vidcontrol -i adapter in a console and below is the result: fb0: vga0, type:VESA VGA (5), flags:0x700ff initial mode:24, current mode:24, BIOS mode:3 frame buffer window:0xb8000, buffer size:0x8000 window size:0x8000, origin:0x0 display start address (0, 0), scan line width:80 reserved:0x0 I have invoked vidcontrol -i mode in a console and below is the result: mode# flags typesize font window linear buffer -- snip . . . 276 (0x114) 0x000f G 800x600x16 18x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xd000 131072k 277 (0x115) 0x000f G 800x600x32 18x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xd000 131072k 279 (0x117) 0x000f G 1024x768x16 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xd000 131072k 280 (0x118) 0x000f G 1024x768x32 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xd000 131072k 282 (0x11a) 0x000f G 1280x1024x16 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xd000 131072k 283 (0x11b) 0x000f G 1280x1024x32 1 8x16 0xa 64k 64k 0xd000 131072k . . . snip Does this mean I can set my consoles to which ever settings above? If it is possible, how can I go about it? Any advice, hints, or whatever response will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance...

'#periodic monthly' '#periodic weekly' '#periodic daily' problems
hi to everyone, I have been using my freebsd system for almost 7-8 months. I have read in my internal help documents about newbies that I should run #periodic monthly #periodic weekly #periodic daily from time to time...I still have not really grasp the importance of it but I have developed the habbit of running these commands from time to time...I think cron does run these commands for me too...but since I turn-off my laptop after work, i use to run these commands on my free time. But, for the past few weeks, I have forgotten about these commands... Yesterday, I wanted to run these commands but I encountered some problems: future# periodic monthly future# collect: Cannot write ./dfi4Q1lWFh000774 (bfcommit, uid=25, gid=25): Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue file ./qfi4Q1lWFh000774, euid=25: Permission denied future# periodic weekly future# collect: Cannot write ./dfi4Q1rFUu000854 (bfcommit, uid=25, gid=25): Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue file ./qfi4Q1rFUu000854, euid=25: Permission denied future# periodic daily future# collect: Cannot write ./dfi4Q1xS9A001139 (bfcommit, uid=25, gid=25): Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue file ./qfi4Q1xS9A001139, euid=25: Permission denied I can only say that a week fews ago, I still can no longer remember why...but I did a very not so good thing to my system...I did a #rm -rf * on my /var/log directory. After that, since i do not want to bother the list about my on wrong doing I made a list of the /var/log files on the other pc at my home and created the almost the same files from that list, which i think I have done quite but maybe not successfully. Does the errors above connection to what I did to the /var/log files? What should I do to eliminate these errors and be able to run these commands again? Thank you for any ideas and advices in advance...

Using kdm, shell script to declare my locales and startups...
Hi, I am using kdm and I have a .profile in my $HOME that contains the following declarations: LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_CTYPE LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_ALL LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP.eucJP;export LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY=ja_JP.eucJP;export LC_MONETARY LC_NUMERIC=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME=ja_JP.eucJP;export LC_TIME LC_COLLATE=ja_JP.eucJP; export LC_COLLATE LANG=ja_JP.eucJP; export LANG MM_CHARSET=eucJP; export MM_CHARSET LANGUAGE=ja_JP.eucJP; export LANGUAGE XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'; export XMODIFIERS /usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 -canna -xim When I use these settings in .profile, I have no problems...Some of my Japanese-Characters written files are shown properly and I can use kinput2 to input Japanese Characters with just a little problem. That problem is when I use Ctrl+Alt+Fn to access a console then it says an error that /usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2is already running... This prompted me to read the kdm help and I have read in the kdm help that when someone logs using kdm, the shell script Xsession is executed. So I copied the settings about to my .xsession (is what I know) and .Xsession (is what is written in the kde help)...I tried both settings and also .xinitrc but I can no longer input Japanese Characters (kinput2 is not executed during login) and my Japanese-Character written files appeared garbled... So, am I right in using .profile or do I have to create another text file that kdm knows? Any help or advice would be really appreciated...

Need Advice in SSH
Hello, I was hoping if anyway could give me advice, hints, and anything about this question of mine. I have to laptops in which I have installed FreeBSD-Current (both). One is in the office that I worked for and the other at my home. I have named (hostname) my laptops as laptop1.mydomain.org and laptop2.mydomain.org laptop1.mydomain.org has a static IP Address from our LAN Server (companydomain.org). laptop2.mydomain.org has DHCP client setttings from my ISP(ispdomain.ne.jp). Can I use ssh to connect/administer either way on these 2 laptops? I hope that I have stated my question clearly...I will try my best to simply things below: laptop1.mydomain.org-?ssh?--- laptop2.mydomain.org Static IP Address from the DHCP client of my ISP Company LAN Server with a different domain (companydomain.org) I would really appreciate any replies and if possible any tips. Thank you Bull TORS ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the latter case, you just do ssh a.b.c.d My laptop in the office (laptop1.mydomain.org) has a static internal network address 192.168.1.35 from my company's (companydomain.org) LAN Server. My laptop in my home has 192.168.1.x (I am not that sure if it changes a lot but I think not) as a DHCP client from my ISP (ispdomain.ne.jp). So I think both gets internal network addresses from their respective servers, one as a static client and the other as a dynamic client from different domains. Does this mean I can not use ssh from either both PC's?

Does this mean I can not use ssh from either both PC's? My knowledge of ssh is just to the level of a regular user, so I may be wrong here. But in this case I am afraid you can only connect the two computers if you also have access (login password) to each one of the gateways, in which case you can make use of ssh-tunnels. Thank you again for your response...Really gives people like me the confidence to ask in this mailing list... I know that we are connected to an ADSL modem and we are renting a router device to act as our gateway...I know the login password for the router and I can possibly change the settings BUT, this is where my problem is... I have been using FreeBSD for the last 7-8 months now since I threw away my MS Windows CD's because I have finally found the OS that was meant to be mine. Since I have been using FreeBSD, I still have not configure my printer settings and when people asked me why, I used to answer to them that I am using FreeBSD and I need more readings to configure my system but before I could finish the last phrase of my sentence, they would say Oh, your not using Windows! so you are using Linux!... Why use strange things?...Imagine that Linux sounds strange to them, what would happen if I start explaining what FreeBSD is!...Hehehe...And the person in-charge on our network does not even know why we have to configure our DNS numbers from our ISP in order to connect to the internet...!!! and I only understood what DNS is after I started FreeBSD...When I tried to say that you should try FreeBSD because I learned it using the said OS...and the answer was My mind is no longer interested in strange OSes...!!! So I do not want to ask about this thing because I know that they will not and can not understand...hehehe Sorry for this kind of response but I really appreciate the time for your responses and I will take on this challenge in another environment in the future... Forgive me for the wasted bandwidth... See for example: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/excerpt/ssh_11/index1.html In case you have no access to the gateways, I then wonder, if you could use any third computer with a real IP address (provided you have access to that one) and use this third computer as an inbetween in the ssh-tunnel between your two laptops. Above article may give a clue. Does that help? Yes it did and I will really keep this Emails for future reference... Once again, thanks a lot...

Does this mean I can not use ssh from either both PC's? No, but you need more information. Some device on each end is translating those non-routable private addresses to public ones usable on the Internet. Almost certainly, at least one and probably both are blocking inbound SSH connections by default. It is more likely that you can initiate outbound connections from your company's network, and can configure your home network to permit inbound connections. It is much less likely that you will be able to have your company network configured to permit inbound connections initiated from your home computer. In either case, you need more detailed information on the configurations. Talk to the IT staff at your company and explain what you're trying to do and ask if they permit outbound SSH sessions. At your home, in my experience it's very uncommon for an ISP to provision either DHCP or private addresses directly - it's more common for there to be a local device in your home that is accomplishing that. But talk to your ISP, it could be different in Japan. Properly speaking, this has little or nothing to do with FreeBSD, BTW, it is general firewall, NAT and SSH information. Thanks for the response...I have tried to use ssh before but everytime I did a message always says operation timed out...and I could not know what went wrong...I have read the handbook and have found information using google before trying it and it seems that it was not working...I had to let it go for awhile or maybe gave up on it...but then it just keeps coming back to me because there are times when I really need to access my pc at home to administer it...That is why I posted my Email...just asking if it is really possible...Now, that I found out that it is going to take more reading and maybe try my settings in a different environment (if I am lucky)... Again, thanks for the reply...and my apologies for taking some of your minutes... Have a nice day guys...
