Analysing VMcore files.

2008-11-24 Thread Simon Burke
I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0 as my desktop OS, and I have a need to
analyse VWCores from a RedHat ES system.
Knowing very little about analysing dumps, is it possible to do this? or
would I have to set up a more comparable environment?

 In theory, you could set up a Linux environment
 (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu.html) with the
 binaries from your RedHat system, spawn a Linux shell and go from there
 as if you're on Linux, but this will almost certainly be more work than
 just finding a RedHat system (or even installing one in qemu).


That is more or less as I thought.It'll probably be easier to stay as I was,
using our ESX servers for this.

Thank you for your reply.

Re: FreeBSD's Visual Identity: Outdated?

2005-07-02 Thread Simon Burke
 
 1. Not only is the logo misleading (associating evil) but it also looks
like something 10-year-olds could produce in Paint Shop Pro ten years
ago. OpenBSD has an artistic touch to theirs, however I was very
disappointed when I heard that the new NetBSD logo was in effect.

I would like to know how you assume that he is a representation of
evil, ok he looks like a little devil char but there is more than one
definition of a devil and besides he looks kind of cute.
So the logo/mascot has been around a while but that doesnt warrant
change. If it does then most companies in the world need to update
their logos too.

Also freebsd is an operating system, if the developers and such spent
all this time maintaining its image rather than its OS then freeBSD
would no longer be such a great operating system.

 
 2. If it wasn't for the interesting content and structure of the FreeBSD
website, it would be among the less beautiful. Yes, it serves its
purpose well by being simple and straight to the point. But a redesign
could offer just the same -- simplicity and accuracy -- without being
ugly.

Aesthetics are not everything, the web site does what its supposed to
do. Also i actually like how it looks.
A lot of people have strong feelings about all these all singing all
dancing webistes. There is just no need. Keep it simple and easy to
navigate around thats all thats really important. If the aesthetics
really matter more than function to such people who use BSD then they
would probably be not using BSD but either windows or linux, where you
have a nice pretty GUI to look at all the nice pretty sites.


 3. The installation, even though it's text-only, could also be improved
by simple restructuring to act more cognitive and human-centered than
previously. Everything pertaining to the eye is important to improve.

Granted the installer is not the best installer around, but the main
point is that it does the job and it is pretty easy to follow in my
opinion anyway. Also there are a couple of projects to my knowledge
that are aiming to improve it.


 4. There should be some kind of FreeBSD business card and letterhead
available to all that support this project.

I have to ask why? why would people need such things? that i just dont
understand

 How do I know though, that if I manage to pull together a team to work
 on this refined vision, that we won't be totally ignored even though we
 produce the most magnificent result?
 
 Anyone that are interested, please reply ;-)

 Unfortunate as it seems, when ever email is offered free of charge, it
 attracts users that are content in doing the things on the Internet that
 most of us decent folks hate.
 
 You know the saying, you get what you pay for... Personally, I could
 care less if Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, and any others like them never get
 removed from the spam lists.
 
Though im using gmail now I actually concur with this. I personally
block all mail from hotmail and yahoo, asit gets rid of all the mail i
dont want, and it's never had any detrimental effects by doing it.

Though gmail will suit me until i get my cable internet access
switched to ADSL, which should be sometime soon.

 Corel KnockOut
Quite probably plugins for GIMP to do that, infact if u know how to

 Flight Check
That looks like soft thats only needed by bad designers, I work
with/for design companies on a daily basis and they dont use it
 Bar Code Pro
BARZ_OUT pro
 MathType
Openoffice Math
 SecureFX
gftp does this
 SecureCRT
ssh, kssh
 SFS
If this means smart filesystem, then whats wronf with UFS2, ResierFS, XFS,
 Rebel
GIMP, or stop being so fsckin lazy
 Fritz 6.0

 POV-Ray
how about erm.. POV-ray?
 Adobe PageMaker
Openoffice,scribus
 Adobe Streamline
Autotrace
 Adobe Acrobat (full version)
openoffice, scribus, 
 Paint Shop Pro
GIMP
 Palm Desktop
there is tronnes of pim softwar about and palm, otheriwse i wont be
able to use my palm.

 Forte Agent
pan

kino, drupal
 Nikon Scan
gimp

gimp
 Wacom Intuos
its pretty much pnp

 However, I should point out that I also have applications that will not
 run on Windows:
 
 BIND
 sendmail
 syslog
 sshd
 ProFTP
 SFTP
Every heard of cygwin?

 The list is not long for FreeBSD, but every one of these applications is
 a critical application, and most must run without fail 24 hours a day,
 seven days a week.  Any one of them is enough to justify running a
 dedicated FreeBSD server.
There are alsways alternaitves that can do the exact same job, so i
dont see the problem, Oh by the way I am a linux system developer, so
i do know what im on about unlike Mr i cant be bothered to update  my
workstations.

 For this reason, I have several machines: a FreeBSD server, a Windows XP
 desktop, and a Windows NT server used as a desktop (to support some
 legacy applications).
I have several machines too, running IRIX, BSD and Linux, I havnt had
to for ages as everything i need to do i can do on a *nix box.

 I can get Photoshop on the Mac, so moving to a Mac would not present a

You can get photoshop for unix, mainly IRIX but you can.

 Just as it's illogical to run Windows applications in emulation under

 I don't want alternatives, I want THE SAME PRODUCTS.  Why is this so
 difficult to understand?  I don't want to run just any SMTP mailer, I
 want to run sendmail.  It's as simple as that.
Why? you now seem to be contradicting your self, why dont you just use
windows then? you'll obviously be much happier

  ... so i dont see the problem ...
 
 I do.  Many geeks are extremely attached to their operating systems and
 relatively indifferent to their applications, since they often never do
 anything critical or serious with their systems, anyway.  So they see no
 problem in using equivalents for certain applications in order to
 guarantee that they can play with their favorite operating systems.
 
 Non-geeks need specific applications for specific purposes, and the OS
 is irrelevant.  So if application X runs on OS Y, then OS Y is the
 obvious choice.
 
 The vast majority of computer users are in this latter category--even
 many IT professionals are in this category.
 
I would really get your facts straight before you say things, it makes
you look ignorant. People use operating systems that suit there needs,
not to be geeky, not to look down on other people. Windows is fine if
all you want to do is point and click at things.

EG, dreamweaver, its a very point click piece fo software, you dont
have to know any web language to get a fairly decent web-site out, and
that is not really a good thing.
Where as if you have more knowledge then you would prefer to be able
to have more control and input to the final prdouct where with most M$
apps you dont.

If you are implying that it is useless using open operating systems
(which it appears you are) then why are you on the mailing list.

I've been a system developer, too, several times.  But I have neither
the time nor the inclination to be one when I'm trying to achieve
practical, useful goals with my computers.  Playing around with an OS is
only practical if you have nothing else to do with a computer except
play around with an OS.

Excuse me? are you saying the system developers just play around with
OS'es. I dont think i'd get paid £30,000 a year to play around, I
create systems for a sucsessful solutions company and are used in a
lot fo smaller companies who cant afford the extortionate prices of
M$. S please stop being so ignorant.

 Dumb question: WHY OpenOffice requires java? Is java much more effective
 and robust than a copiled C/C++ code? As far as I know, java-coded
 applications are: slow, resource-hungry, have bad multitasking effect. Is
 that a new stupid fashion or what? I was forced to phase out Oracle branch
 in my project, when I have discovered it needs java...
 
I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I think it has to do with its
relationship with staroffice, as openoffice started with sun releasing
code for a previous release of staroffice. So i think that is why its
still in java, it would be too much work to re-implement i guess.

Also 
(quote)As far as I know, java-coded applications are: slow,

IMHO, Isnt that pretty much openoffice anyway?

 Not sure; I don't run 5.3; It was mentioned yesterday that, specifically,
 OpenOffice from the ports will not build on 5.3-STABLE.
 
 
I know that it can be a right pain to do, it took me a couple of days
to finally get it done but i managed it. I dont know if things have
changed now or will change with the java thing going on, but still

Swap partition not used?

2004-12-11 Thread Simon Burke
Hiya,

After a while of using 5.3RELEASE, i have noticed a small problem, my
swap partition isnt getting used. Well its not a small problem
considering that i have only 256mb ram on this machine.

boredom# swapctl -l
Device:   1024-blocks Used:
/dev/ad0s1b  48211256

this i suppose shows that some of it is used but the amount used never
increases. I'm currently using 100% memory (installing openoffice from
ports, finally).

It is in /etc/fstab as:

# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options DumpPass#
/dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw  0   0

I've tried using swapon -a to add it and it doesnt seem to have worked.

Its also does not show in df -ha ,though i cant recall if it is
supposed to be there. Though i dont think it has to be mounted?

 No, swap doesn't have a mount point, per se.
 
 Does swapinfo(8) give the same output as
 `swapctl -l` ?
 
I can not answer that question at the momment, as i have now got it
working by using 'swapon /dev/ad0s1b'. Which makes me think there is a
problem with my fstab, i'll take a look at it and see if thats the
problem.

5.3: cant install openoffice 1.1 from ports

2004-12-06 Thread Simon Burke
I've recently done a fresh install of 5.3, i updated ports using cvsup
to install gnome2.8, which im using know, great.

Problem is that it wont allow me to compile openoffice properly, i
cant give an error message as  its about 7hrs in i  get the message
and i've since made clean.

Does anyone know if it is broken? or how i can get an openoffice
release installed, as 1.0 is apparentlyu broken according to ports and
1.1 wont compile sucessfully.

Re: [OT]Help me, Get a Free flat screen

2004-11-05 Thread Simon Burke
  Please help me, I'm trying to get a Free TV, check out this site, if
  you refer 8 people you get a free TV or Flat screen monitor...

snip
 
 very sad...and some people still wonder how it is there can be so much
 spam when so many profess to hate it.

I completly agree, though the company im being 'let go' from is just
as bad, i mean come on its not spam, its e-mail marketing??
 Anyway atleast theres less spam here than you get on the linux kernel list.

 You realize they are just trying to build SPAM lists and pretend that
 by getting some sort of permission, they aren't really spamming.

Thats what i use yahoo for. If i need to sign up for something where i
know im going to get spammed, i just use my yahoo address. Theres
sites that offer mails just for this reason but i forgot the URL.

But still the only spam I like is the monty python spam skit

duel booting with 2x *nix

2004-10-28 Thread Simon Burke
I know duel booting is really easy to setup these days, but just a
thought, I've never duel booted with two *nix OS's so i do not
know this.

Is it possible to use a single swap partition for multiple distro's on
one machine?

If so would it impair stability or stuff? And would it be possible to
do so with BSD and linux?

Im just curious. All my Ix86 dekstops have atleast 160gb HDD space
(over 1.5Tb in total at present), so i may give it a try later on
tonight.

  I don't see a problem.  What are you talking about?
 
 :-)  Exactly!
 
It may also help if you put the good ole hyphen hyphen space enter'
decent e-mail clients should see this as the start of a sig an will
remove anything below it, i know thunderbird and even gmail does, so
it tidys up the default sig at the end of each post.
