But the gnome2 package installs epiphany and evolution and gnomegames and assorted other gnomecrappitycrap (I'm sure it's wonderful stuff, no offense intended by this choice of words). Gnome2 depends upon the little game with the colored marbles. But I just want the Gnome desktop without that game, and so forth. Nja Now I see.. In that case I would start hacking at the Makefile in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2-lite - take out a few Of those runtime dependencies. But if I'm right that Gnome is nothing more than gnomecrappitycrap et al, then maybe what I'm really looking for would be the Windows Manager that Gnome uses by default? That is, Metacity? Maybe? Sawfish perhaps? I'm sorry if these are stupid questions - I'm mostly new to this, and am confused as to the roles of (Gnome/KDE/Whatever) versus (Metacity/WindowMaker/Whatever). Nope... Not stupid KDE / Gnome provide fully featured desktops out of the box so to speak, I prefer to use a window manager appropriate to the task/capabilities of the machine I am using.

Perhaps I'm not understanding my difficulty with this. As Mr Davies seems to think that a man page is going to contain the answer I have asked for in this post. Having used FreeBSD for a Very long time I can appreciate Mr Davies research skills. However this does not in any way answer my question so let me restate. An unkind soul might suggest then that by now you should have learned to format mail sensibly and ask good questions. I have at no time been able to get High-Speed functionality out of my USB 2.0 Drives. When the umass driver loads I'm happily informed that I will be getting essentially fullspeed from the device in question. ohci, uhci, ehci, umass modules are loaded. Devices hooked directly to ehci connectors identify which of course they wouldn't if the ehci module didn't load. Perhaps the problem is in the umass driver I can't say I know for sure. but what I do know is I can get High-Speed IO happening on Linux, and in Windows. But it just does not happen in FreeBSD as recent as 5.3Beta-7 Now after reading this email. I hope people will realise that I'm not someone who writes 'I've been using FreeBSD for a very long time.' to mean I just thought I'd boot up this cool Unix distro called FreeBSD and see if I can find a bug. If I'm very much missing something in how USB 2.0 is suppose to function in Freebsd. Please let me know. I have requested info about this many times and so many times I get responses very much like Dick Davies gave. Well, the a more effective approach might be might be to post a kernel config, uname -a and a dmesg, examples of what usb devices you are using and what transfer rates you are getting. However, as the user base of usb using developers is pretty small they probably don't have access to the devices you have and so probably your problem doesn't scratch any itch that they have. What I tend to try and avoid is using a bulldozer to take the kids to daycare. In other words Linux is well suited to desktop use with lots of odd funky device support and should I require that, I would probably run some linux variant. My servers run FreeBSD. I'm not trying to be snotty or anything, this is just the way things are. If you have a popular piece of hardware it will probably get support.

RE: What happened after gnome upgrade??
Now with Gnome-2.6 upgraded (mostly OK, crashed ) mostly ok ? ooops! towards the VERY end...), all my things don't work right anymore. All apps like GnomeMeeting, the battery meter, etc appear to be completely messed up. For the most part, they run, but none of the words, etc are there! The battery meter, when I click on it, only shows the Do Not Enter ERROR box, no text and nothing else visible - again, no words, etc. The same goes for GnomeMeeting. Also when I try to run the proccess display applet, nothing shows up, just the line graph of CPU usage, but nothing such as process names, descriptions, etc or menu items along the top shows up anymore. HOW do I fix this?! GTK+ was updated recently and this sounds like what happens when apps that use it get out of sync with it. You will have to recompile everything that uses GTK+. I suggest portupgraded. /me recently saw this himself with the gtk apps he uses when updated gtk+ Are you saying that a portupgrade -fRra is required? From the faq.. Oops! I ran portupgrade(1)! What do I do? Do not worry; hope is not lost. Running portupgrade(1) will cause the build to fail, but it will not cause any lasting damage to your ports tree, unless you have done something exceptionally creative. Simply download the gnome_upgrade.sh script and run it, and pretend that you ran it in the first place. Nobody needs to know that you didn't read the directions first! The upgrade failed; what do I do? Unfortunately, this is not only possible, it's highly probable. There are many possible valid GNOME configurations, and even more invalid starting points. If the script fails, follow the instructions in the error message to let the FreeBSD GNOME team know about the failure. The majority of build failures will be dependency-related issues. One simple way to resolve the problem is to remove the offending port, re-run gnome_upgrade.sh, and then reinstall the port when the upgrade process is complete. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Vinum stripe values table?

Terranson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Vinum stripe values table? J.A. Terranson The values to plug into vinum for stripe size has always been vague, other than avoiding a power of 2. Where is the vagueness here? A good guideline for stripe size is between 256 kB and 512 kB. Avoid powers of 2, however: they tend to cause all superblocks to be placed on the first subdisk. Is there any way to calculate an optimal value? Or is there a table anywhere? I did some work on this and came to the unsurprising conclusion of it depends The needs of a database server / web server / ftp server / user file server are not equivalent, in addition, obviously the exact layout of your vinum configuration plays a non-trivial part. Given an 8 drive raid5 array, where each drive is an identical 4096m drive, where do I start? You have already started when you created an Raid 5 configuration ;-) Well, I created my vinum configuration, made some wild guesses as to what I was going to be using it for (mostly web-serving of files of the order of 4-5MB) and then ran some tests, measuring both with bonnie and vinum's builtin statistics using different stripe sizes and increasing numbers of concurrent transactions, using both bonnie and scripted file transfers to generate disc i/o. Overall, with my config 4 disks striped raid 0 on an promise ide controllers (real men always run Raid 0 !) an 8k stripe seemed to function well for me in this distinctly unscientific test scenario. Real world performanceit's okcould it be better, probably.

What confuses me in particular, is that despite vinum (8) saying that with modern disk sizes and correct raid implementations there is no reason why stripe sizes of between 2-4mb could not be used and a good value for stripe size is betwween 256 and 512 but avoid powers of 2... The samples then shown in vinum (8) all then use stripe sizes of 512k (a power of 2) or 32k or 64k (distinctly less than 256). This is also common in the cases where I have found sample configurations on the internet.

There's one NT4 server with a shared HP 5L which the other win2k boxen use for printing. i've read (parts of) /usr/share/doc/en/books/corp-net-guide, and it looks like i *should* be able to use that printer provided the NT box had something called Microsoft TCP/IP Printing installed, which it doesn't. what i need to know is: if i add the tcp/ip printing service, will it affect the other (win2k) computers? Well you will need a reboot will it be necessary to change anything yes.. you need to install it. or will that change go unnoticed? depends on how awake your sysadmin is :-) or, do i have any other options if i want to print on that printer? There is always mtowtdi but I use this method ... tcp/ip on the windows box and cups on the unix boxes and it works really nicely.

Re: PHP Installation Issues
