Still doen't work! I mean, to put it in a nutshell:

1) kldstat shows the nvidia.ko module BUT no /dev/nvidia0 nor /dev/nvidiactl

 FreeMat -i /usr/local/share/FreeMat-3.0

 and then it uses QSettings to store this path persistently.

FreeMat 3.0 doesn't call functions and help

2007-04-07 Thread Vittorio De Martino
I've just installed FreeMat 3.0 from the ports in my i386 6.2 box but, while 
it is able to accomplish simple calculations it is not able to use the 
functions e.g to invert a matrix

a=[1,2;-4,3]
inv(a)

instead of inverting the matrix hangs endlessly.

Besides if I ask for the help on line (OR helpwin) the following error 
messages pops up  

The file modules.txt is missing from the directory  where I think help files 
should be.
 
I think I didn't configure something but I don't know what (the main.pdf 
manual isn't that helpful as far as the installation is concerned).

Could someone out there help me to start FreeMat?

rsh fails: [WAS] pvm connection problems

Re: Problems with booting MBR

2005-07-29 Thread Vittorio De Martino
Alle 11:16, giovedì 28 luglio 2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto:
 In the first disk ad0 (master) of a computer at office I had installed
 linux to be used as a postgresql server. Later I installed FreeBSD 5.4
 (just to have a go at it)  on a partition of the second disk ad1 (slave) to
 be a postgrresql server too.
 Linux lilo was the boot loader, booting linux by default and freebsd.
 Now, convinced of the high quality of the latter I eliminated linux from
 the first disk unfortunately without modifying lilo, and reshuffled the
 FreeBSD filesystem as in my latest /etc/fstab using also the first disk:

 # DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options Dump   
 Pass# /dev/ad1s2b noneswapsw  0
   0 /dev/ad1s2a /   ufs rw  1  
 1 /dev/ad0s1a /usr/local  ufs rw  0   0
 /dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw  0   0
 /dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw  0   0
 /dev/acd0   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0

 Now, even though I read the booting procedure in the handbook and somewhere
 else in the internet, issuing the various fdisk -b B, disklabel -b ..,
 boot0cfg .., I was completely unable to modify the MBR and make this
 FreeBSD only computer boot directly into this OS.

 What should I do with the configuration I have?
 A straightforward and step by step explanation is highly appreciated.

 P.S. Is it possible that some problems can arise by the fact that I used
 an a slice (ad0s1a)for mounting /usr/local and freebsd starts from
 ad1s1a?

  


Friends, 
as suggested in the docs in the internet I tried both with

# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: No such file or directory

and with

# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad1
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad1: No such file or directory

WHILST
my working /etc/fstab is, as I mentioned before:
# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options DumpPass#
/dev/ad1s2b noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/ad1s2a /   ufs rw  1   1
/dev/ad0s1a /usr/local  ufs rw  0   0
/dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw  0   0
/dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw  0   0

Why FreeBSD 5.4 cannot find /dev/ad0 and ad1?
What should I do?

The same mp3 reader is smoothly seen as a usb mass memory from linux on the

Oracle odbc

2005-06-10 Thread Vittorio De Martino
I need to connect my freebsd 5.4 box to an oracle 9 db to query it by means of 
perl or the statistical software R.
How could I set up this odbc connection (I already installed unixODBC, but 
what next and how to set it up)?
Have you any doc to suggest ( I was unable to find anything interesting 
googling!)?

 - Edit /etc/make.conf and set the processor and compiler optimizations.

 - Rebuild and install system (world and kernel)

 - Repost your results here. ;)

 The BSD handbook has good docs on the last step of this process.  Coming
 from Gentoo, you probably have a good idea what to do in the first step.

 There is an example make.conf somewhere on you system you can look at
 for other things to set.

 If you want to get really detailed, look at the Makefile for R in it's
 ports directory.  There may be some notes as to configure options and
 performance.

 FWIU, every port can have it's own set of configure options, and there
 is a way to put conditionals inside make.conf; for example, if in this
 ports directory, set this option.  I haven't used that yet, but if you
 search the archives here you will find an example.

 BTW, don't mess around with the new scheduler.  Just use the old BSD
 one.  I did some testing (recompiled gcc) and the old one was faster on
 a dual processor system.  From what someone told me on #freebsd, it
 works but is not optimized yet.

 Also, there are somethings you should do when testing speed.  You can
 google to find the references, here's the two items I remember:

 - use single user mode (no cron)
 - unplug network cable (no broadcast packets)


 Have fun!

Mark, after some other trial I decided in the end to concentrate on an 
application, R, trying to extract the best out of it in term of performance. 
That's why I deinstalled both in gentoo and in freebsd R, downloaded the 
2.0.1 source tarball from the r-project , compiled it in both OSs with the 
same configuration and options.
Now it happens that one test program working only in memory is executed in 
almost the same time in linux and in freebsd (a bit longer under win xp).
Another R test program working mainly in memory but producing a lot of output 
on the screen of the text console, works happily and fast in linux bash 
console whilst in freebsd csh console I see the R program to start happily 
and the output flowing rapidly on the screen, after some time it starts 
slowing down, then clogging. In the end it takes twice as much time to 
complete with respect to gentoo!
Could the difference be the bash in linux and csh in freebsd shell? 
Suggestions?

Tuning FreBSD with specific applications

2005-06-02 Thread Vittorio De Martino
First of all:
I DO NOT WANT TO START A FLAME!

On my laptop I've being using linux for some years now and landed at last to 
the gentoo distribution which I tuned for working with the statistical 
software R and the bunch of TeX programs such as latex, pdflatex, context and 
the likes (this absorb 95% of my activity on the linux box).
The main action I took with gentoo was to compile everything from scratch for 
my pc hardware, limiting the use of X  kde using all the above mentioned 
software prevailingly in a simple console.

Now in a partition of the same laptop I installed freebsd 5.4, set 
softupdates, dma=1, and the same pieces of software as those I had installed 
under linux using the ports, therefore, compiling everything for my pc 
hardware, but, owing to my poor knowledge of Freebsd I'm experiencing some 
problems.

In a nutshell I prepared the following test files:

1) a ConTeXt file full of long (useless) chapters and pictures to run with 
texexec;
2) An R program which reads a long text file, puts the data in dataframes, 
then loops to accomplish many repetitive mathematical calculations.

Now running the test  files in a console linux turns out to be roughly 20-25% 
faster than freebsd. Particulary slow results the loop phase of the R source 
code that while running slows down and seems to clog in the end. The slowing 
down is also perceptible under linux but not at the same level.

Admiring the ordered and unitary layout of freebsd, the logical way of 
setting it up, the richness of applications,  I would like to line the 
freebsd installation up to the linux one, improving its performance at most, 
not necessarily making it faster than linux.

How could I obtain those improvements? What could I do to speed those programs 
under freebsd?

Ciao
Vittorio

Cups samba printing very slow!

2005-05-31 Thread Vittorio De Martino
At last I have been able to set up cups under kde 3.4 to print from my laptop 
with freebsd 5.4 to an epson stylus color 640 printer connected to another pc 
seen by cups in the laptop both as an ipp printer under freebsd 5.4 (seen 
from the laptop as the cups server)  AND - more frequently - as an smb 
printer under windows XP. 
The network connection from the laptop on which run both samba and cupsd and 
the pc is made by means of a wireless 11Mb card and an access point.

While printing to the windows XP pc through samba by means of 
lpr -Psmbepson file
is pretty fast and immediate, printing from an application like kword, 
konqueror which format the text takes at least 1.5-2 minutes to start, 
against few seconds with a direct parallel port connection and  about a 
bearable 30-45 secs with an ipp printer connection to the freebsd box.

Are those differences acceptable ot there's something to be improved?
in case of a no, what should I check?

kde, cups and the print server

2005-05-29 Thread Vittorio De Martino
Context:FreeBSD 5.4, kde 3.4 cups + gimp print

Using the kde control center to select printers I'm experiencing the 
following, after selecting the cups printing system.

1) As administrator I can see that Server:localhost:631 is selected and I'm 
able to select printers and print the test page.

2) whilst as the ordinary victor user the kde printer configuration shows 
I'm connected to Server:192.168.1.5:631 which was a former IP address of a 
cupsd server + printer in my lan which I used to use but does not exist any 
longer. I  modified the /usr/local/etc/cups/clients.conf changing NameServer 
192.168.1.5 into NameServer 127.0.0.1 to no avail. And I'm completely 
unable to select printers and print anything.

How can I modify the print server of the ordinary victor user?

Problems while starting rc.d local files

2005-05-28 Thread Vittorio De Martino
Towards the end of the boot process while starting the processes 
under /usr/local/etc/rc.d (I think)  freebsd 5.4 warns about something wrong 
that I cannot find in the log files dmesg.boot, dmesg, messages.
The warning (nothing fatal happens!) I eye is as follows:

Pre-seeding PRNG: kickstart
Loading configuration files
This: not found


and the sentence  This: not found pops up till the end of the boot.

Where can I find a glue on what's happening, what's going wrong?

 what's the netmask you're using?  Maybe giving us the ifconfigs for each
 net interface, and one of the results of netstat -rn?

Chuck, the hub *** died *** out of the blue (short circuit? I dunno) and I had 
to  substitute it with a more modern switch AND the problem automagically 
disappeared. Now pings are ok.
Thanks anyway

kde kdm mouse - AGAIN

2005-05-16 Thread Vittorio De Martino

I have the latest installation of freebsd 5.4 on my laptop, kde  kdm 3.4.
 The laptop has a synaptic mousepad endowed of two buttons that in normal
 conditions are not used at all being enough to double-hit on the pad to have
 the same effect as that of pressing the left button.
Now at boot time I  enabled moused

# ps ax|grep moused
  493  ??  Ss 0:00.54 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

And the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Mouse0
Driver  mouse
Option  Protocol Auto
Option  Device /dev/sysmouse
Option  ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
.

Now it happens that:

1) If I start kde as a user by means of the command startx (having put
startkde into .xinitrc) the mouse(-pad) works as expected: I can move around
the screen and select and launch programs just moving on the pad and double
hitting the pad . No problems! In a nutshell no need to press the left
button.

2) If at boot time I start kde by means of kdm having put in /etc/ttys:
ttyv8   /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon  xterm   on  secure

and modified /etc/pam.d as required to autologin, I immediatedly and
automagically login into kde as a user and the mouse works BUT... with the
pad I can only move around the screen and the double-hit doesn't work anymore
so that I have to use the left button cumpulsorily (and annoyingly).

My feeling is that moused is both somewhat slow and one of the last services
to be executed. Therefore I highly suspect that the execution of moused in
some way overlaps with the execution of autologin kdm at boot time causing
the malfunctioning mousepad behaviour.
Now I'm trying to delay a bit the execution of kdm by adding something like

ttyv8   /bin/sleep 2;/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon  xterm   on  secure
ttyv8   /bin/sleep 2  /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon  xterm   on  secure

but FreeBSD doesn't seem to like either: it doesn't execute kdm and issue a
warning about a delay of 60 seconds??
 
How could I delay a bit the autologin kdm?

Vittorio

Re: Ports proxy configuration?

 Hi, guys:

 I want to install some softwares from FreeBSD Ports collection. But without
 configuration of proxy, it can't connect out to fetch the src tar balls,
 and compile/install.

 I searched the handbook but didn't find any useful info about setting of
 proxy for Ports.

 Any suggestions?

Xu, use the following in /etc/make.conf

FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80
FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80

It works for me.
