 Hi,
 
 Is there a recommended method of letting non root users
 write some CDR's ?
 
 If so, can anyone give me some pointers / advice etc on
 this !

K3b's port has a post installation message that shows the exact steps
on letting non-root users to burn cds (and thus use k3b). Just cd to
/usr/ports/sysutils/k3b, and run 'make showconfig'


 
 Thanks !!!

Do a make config in irc/irssi, disable the themes and then make

 If you have nspr 4.6.3 or lower installed; upgrade to 4.6.3_1
 and try running Firefox.

Exactly this one was my problem too. After upgrading firefox with
portupgrade -r , i just portupgrade -R on firefox and everything after
that was fine.

At the beginning i thought this was a problem related to the gconfd
problem discussed ona previous thread.

 Many thanks in advance.

 This is probably MS-DOS type text file.   MS text file lines

 All text editors on MS systems do that and if you do a binary transfer

 do the conversion for you as you transfer the file back and forth
 between MS and UNIX.   I think SCP only does binary transfers.
 
 I am not an Emacs user, but,
 You can easily use tr(1) to remove all the ^M characters from a

I think there is something similar in emacs by using the

So to cure and succesfully convert DOS files into unix format, i
use C-x RET f unix RET.

 Just for another datapoint, Nero Burning ROM (onWindows) also limits 
 files on an ISO DVD to 2GB. You must use UFS for larger files. These 
 guys have been making CD/DVD burning software for some time. I suspect 
 they know what they are doing.

The problem in FreeBSD is that you can mount succesfully any UDF dvd

you cannot create such a filesystem with a tool like mkudffs. Are there
any plans for such a tool ?

Re: install Apache1 and Apache2 on the same server

 Greetings,
 
 I have FreeBSD box that runs Apache1 from ports. Now I'd like to

 overwriting httpd binary of Apache1. What would be the correct,
 port-friendly :) way to do it? (I also use portupgrade, it would be
 nice if portupgrade will still be able to upgrade both ports)
 
 Any tips or pointers to man pages are appreciated.
 
 Thanks!
 

When installing applications from the ports tree , there is a way
through tha Makefiles to define conflicts with other ports that may be
installed.  By looking at www/apache20/Makefile, i can see this one:


CONFLICTS= apache+mod_ssl-1.* apache+mod_ssl+ipv6-1.*
apache+mod_ssl+modsnmp-1.* \
apache+mod_ssl+mod_snmp+ipv6-1.* apache+mod_ssl+mod_accel-1.* \
apache+mod_ssl+mod_snmp+mod_accel-1.* \
apache+ipv6-1.* apache+ssl-1.* apache-1.* apache_fp-1.* \
caudium-devel-1.* caudium10-1.* caudium12-* \
ru-apache+mod_ssl-1.* ru-apache-1.* thttpd-2.*

Apparently you can't have both apaches. But you could install apache20
manually, with --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 , setting up any links
with the binaries installed to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin and
then upgrading should be easy enough. You'll just rm -rf
/usr/local/apache2 and reinstall the new version. Also care must be
taken during apache's configuration. Apache2 won't listen to the
already binded address (the one used by apache1).

 Works for me, 5.4-STABLE.

Of course , you have to be careful with this one.  From 5.3 Release
notes: 

The MSDOSFS_LARGE kernel option has been added to support FAT32
file systems bigger than 128GB. This option is disabled by default. It
uses at least 32 bytes of kernel memory for each file on disk;
furthermore it is only safe to use in certain controlled situations,
such as read-only mount with less than 1 million files and so
on. Exporting these large file systems over NFS is not supported.

From cvs:

date: 2004/07/03 13:22:38;  author: tjr;  state: Exp;  lines: +23 -1
popular request, add a workaround that allows large (128GB or so)
FAT32 filesystems to be mounted, subject to some fairly serious limitations.

This works by extending the internal pseudo-inode-numbers generated from
the file's starting cluster number to 64-bits, then creating a table
mapping these into arbitrary 32-bit inode numbers, which can fit in
struct dirent's d_fileno and struct vattr's va_fileid fields. The mappings
do not persist across unmounts or reboots, so it's not possible to export
these filesystems through NFS. The mapping table may grow to be rather
large, and may grow large enough to exhaust kernel memory on filesystems
with millions of files.

Don't enable this option unless you understand the consequences.

  i.e pkg_add -rv cvsup-without-gui
  Yes, I have tried this method, too. The problem is
 that pkg_add fetches compiled programs from FreeBSD
 ftp serevr, too.Interesting: the http FreeBSD server
 works fine, only the ftp has some problems. Other
 mirrors work bad,too. And how could I change the
 server pkg_add tries to fetch files form?

You must set the environment variable PACKAGEROOT in order to change
the mirror you want to choose.
And please send your email once.

Re: Starting MySQL at bootup

This is probably a dumb question, but I will ask it anyway.

I have 'mysql' installed. From what I have deduced from the 
documentation, I should start it using 'mysqld_safe'. I am assuming that 
I would use the syntax 'mysqld_safe ' to force the program into the 
background upon starting. What I can not seem to figure out is how to 
get the program to start automatically upon boot up.


Usually, when you install a service such mysql from the ports collection 
   all of it's files are installed with --prefix=/usr/local . That 
means that the usual startup scripts and configuration files are 
installed at /usr/local/etc . Taking a look at the file 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh , you'll see enough comments on how 
to configure your system , to start mysql automatically upon boot up.


from mysql-server.sh
# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mysql:
# mysql_enable (bool):  Set to NO by default.
#   Set it to YES to enable MySQL.
# mysql_limits (bool):  Set to NO by default.
#   Set it to yes to run `limits -e -U mysql`
#   just before mysql starts.
# mysql_dbdir (str):Default to /var/db/mysql
#   Base database directory.
# mysql_args (str): Custom additional arguments to be passed
#   to mysqld_safe (default empty).
/from mysql-server.sh

This is the entries i have in my /etc/rc.conf file :

mysql_enable=YES
#mysql_dbdir=/usr/local/data
#mysql_args=--log=/var/log/mysql.log

 Hello!
 
 I created an .iso file from a dvd by
   # dd if=/dev/acd0 of=dvd.iso bs=2048
 Now I would like to burn dvd.iso on a fresh dvd+rw medium.
 Could someone be so nice and give me the correct command line for 
 this - seems I am too stupid to understand the man pages :-( .
 
 Thanks,

I think that this one will work:

burncd -e -f /dev/acd0 -s max data fixate dvdrw dvd.iso 

No guarantees though as i haven't tried it. Why don't you use
growisofs ? You can install it through the ports at
sysutils/dvd+rw-tools . To write tha same iso you would use the
following command:

growisofs -speed=N -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

Tested and always works.

 No, that doesn't, but ...

 Because I didn't know it yet :-)
 
 You can install it through the ports at
 sysutils/dvd+rw-tools . To write tha same iso you would use the
 following command:
 
 growisofs -speed=N -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso

where N is the speed you want to burn the dvd ( 4 or 8 are common
speeds)

 That works, when I use SCSI emulation for my ATAPI burner:
 # growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=image.iso
 
 I'll find out about -speed later.
 
 Thanks!
 
 Uli.
