Port for html manipulating proxy

2005-09-22 Thread Jacob Rhoden
Hi,

I have been trying to find some sort of proxy server for my own machine, that 
allows me to manipulate/strip things (ie strip adverts and fix css on my 
commonly used pages). Is there a port for this?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Best Regards,
Jacob

Work out if new sound card supported?

2005-09-15 Thread Jacob Rhoden
Hi,

I just got a new pc, and the sound card is not supported in 5.4-RELEASE. Is 
there a way for me (ie a file i can look in) to find out if upgrading the 
kernel would make a difference? (Ie I don't want to spend 1h+ upgrading if it 
wont do anything)

Large window causes monitor to degauss/reset!!

2004-06-05 Thread Jacob Rhoden
Hey,

I have been using freebsd for quite some time now, I have come across
a machine with a 19 viewmaster, whereby if you open a window
bigger than about 500x500 pixels, the monitor resets and degausses
every 8 seconds until you close the window. Has anyone had this
happen to them? And how did you fix it? (Freebsd 5.2.1, fairly current
XFree86 with fairly current KDE).

Thanks,
Jacob

Re: Large window causes monitor to degauss/reset!!

2004-06-05 Thread Jacob Rhoden
I discovered the problem and describe it for future reference: I had
the correct vertical and horizontal refresh rate range set for the monitor
and X Windows chose the wrong refresh rate for the resolution I was
using (ie a monitor cant use its maximum refresh rate at its higher
resolutions). Decreasing the maximum refresh rate fixed it!

Thanks for your responses.

 Re: /dist directory missing on 5.1 mfsroot disk
 jacob, excuse my intrusion since I do not have any solutions. What I do
 have is the exact same problem. I tried to move the CD files to the hard
 disk and ended up with the same error for the hard drive. What has
 happened with your efforts to resolve this error. Were you able to
 install 5.1?

Your the 5th person to email me directly about this problem. I wonder when 
someone will believe it is a real problem! (:

Although I cannot solve the problem, I do have a solution for people with this 
problem. The problemoccurs when using an installation method which involves 
the installer mounting a set of files in the /dist directory.

Any install method wich avoids this will work fine for you. This includes an 
ftp install, or booting directly off a cd (which I assume you cant which is 
why you have this problem). The ftp method also avoids mounting /dist. If you 
dont want to spend all that time downloading over ftp, find another computer 
and put ftpd on it, and copy onto the ftp server all of the files off the cd 
and network the two computers, then ftp install off the second computer.

If you need anything clarfiied on how to do this let me know.

Best Regards,
Jacob

I am not sure if you want to work on an existing file, or future mail
files. If it is future mail files then you probably want to use a program
which can stop the mail getting in the file in the first place. If this is
the case look up 'procmail'. It allows you to read a mail and do an action
on it through your .forward file.

modern (usb) webcam support?

2003-02-19 Thread jacob rhoden

My searches for information on webcam have not found much, except for some
sites which say FreeBSD does not support USB web cameras.

Is anyone currently working on support for this? Does anyone have any
ideas about where one could go to get information about where to start
if one was to start writing a driver?

(I am about to buy a webcam for use in windows, it would be nice if I
 could choose a webcam which someone is either writing a driver for
 or knows where i coudl get information on them so that I could
 try and write one).

Any info appreciated!

 I thought that this was fixed in a 4.7-PRERELEASE according to the 4.6

It depends on which brand cd-rom drive you have as to wether it is 
supported/fixed. I still have the same problem as well, I submitted a bug 
report and was told that for my particular cd-rom drive (sony), I could fix 
the problem by making the cd-rom drive the master (instead of slave) on the 
ide cable. (Which isnt an option to me for this is a work computer which I am 
not allowed to open).

Summary of last thread: If your dns isnt setup properly then there will be a 
delay in connecting to the server. The reason for this is, the remote server 
is attempting to resolve the local machines ip address. If setup properly, it 
will resolve straight away. If dns is not setup properly, it tries and gives 
up (after about approximately 1:15 minutes I would suspect).  

You need to check the remote machine can resolve your local ip address. To 
test this on your remove machine type:

   nslookup 192.168.local.machine.ip.address

You can setup windows to make the freebsd box dial/hangup... But by far the 
best optoin is to use a switch, I just turn the modem on to use it, and off 
to disconnect (:

Another really clever idea however is to have a web page on the FreeBSD box, 
which allows the user to start or stop ppp. So then your default home page 
can have a connect/disconnect icon! (Or even extra functions like shutdown 
and whathaveyou).

Probably a better method than this is to create a new group, and add apache,

As for increasing the limit, there is probably a reason for there being a 
limit (ie possibly a speed thing?). I am sure however, if you really, really, 
really wanted to, you could modify the FreeBSD source code to increase the

I may be corrected, but I think librarys work like this:

  libc.so.4 -- freebsd 4.x
  libc.so.3 -- freebsd 3.x

Where did you get the packages from? There are different packages on the ftp 
site for different versions of FreeBSD:

  packages-5-current
  packages-5.0-current
  packages-4.0-stable

I hope this helps.  Alternatively, you could install the compat4x distribution 
(which makes your system compatible with 4.x binaries), it is also avialable 
on the ftp sites (/pub/freebsd/releases/i386/5.0-DP1/compat4x)
