Re: tuning a system for a single user

2011-04-04 Thread Kristaps Kūlis
Hi,
 I believe no FreeBSD system is single user. As root, daemon users,
system users, nobody is required for running system smoothly,
securely and easy, so scheduling is nessecary :)
 Quotas / MAC / Auditing can be disabled by compiling your own kernel,
please refer to handbook for futher info.
 kern.maxusers is autotuned.

 FreeBSD is multiuser OS, if you wan't singleuser os, install FreeDOS :)

 When I look for tuning guides online, or reading tuning(7) I find a
 lot of guides for tuning a system for multiple users or for specific
 purposes (web servers, file servers, etc)

 I am looking for specific tunables that might make the experience of
 using FreeBSD better. I found the sysctl kern.maxusers but I'm unsure
 how things affects things.  Can I reduce the amount of time, memory,
 etc the kernel spends enforcing quota, scheduling, etc?

 I don't have anything particular in mind - just want to get a general
 set of tunables I might be interested in.

Re: MySQL 3 needed but how?

2011-03-26 Thread Kristaps Kūlis
Quick glance 
/usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server/

65 .if ${OSVERSION} = 70
66 IGNORE= obsolete and does not build with gcc4.2; use mysql 5 or later
67 .endif

Get FreeBSD-6x installed somewhere and mysql port SHOULD compile and run.

 Hi,

 I have an old backup from a MySQL data directory. It was created with MySQL
 version 3. If I install MySQL 4 then I get this message telling that the
 table was created with a different MySQL version.

 So I try to install mysql 3. Here is the problem:

 gw# pwd
 /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server
 gw# make
 ===  mysql-server-3.23.59.n.20050301_3 obsolete and does not build with
 gcc4.2; use mysql 5 or later.
 *** Error code 1

 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server.
 gw#

 But I really need mysql 3. I usually install everything from the ports tree,
 but in this case this won't work. I need a quick solution. Maybe I can
 install a different OS in a virtual machine. But do you know where can I
 download a BSD OS version that has a binary package of MySQL server 3? (I
 don't know how to search for a BSD OS that has binary packages for
 mysql3...)

 Thanks,

   Laszlo

sysinstall fails when adding distributions

2010-07-02 Thread Kristaps Kūlis
Hi,
 On FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (i386) on IBM T43, sysinstall fails when trying to
add src distribution to already installed system (when starting to download
them from FTP). No network activity is observed.
coredump: http://www.ltn.lv/~kristapskulis/sysinstall.core
dmesg: http://www.ltn.lv/~kristapskulis/dmesg

 What I`m doing wrong and how to fix it ?

X11 reboots on key press

2009-11-04 Thread Kristaps Kūlis
Hello!
  When I press key (like backspace or) Ctrl and keep it pressed, X11
restarts and returns to KDM. I suspect that problem arose when I used
nvidia-settings to configure dual monitor setup .
Temporary workaround - disable key repeat
GPU :  9600GT
Version: 7.2-RELEASE-p3
kdm-log complains about xkbcomp errors
 Warning: Multiple doodads named 
 Using first definition

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
 Warning: Type ONE_LEVEL has 1 levels, but RALT has 2 symbols
 Ignoring extra symbols

and at the end:
