Re: Command line video player

But, I have following problems while proceeding : 1) Would the machine be able to handle any kind of videos 2) I am not able to find mplayer for 5.5 so I tried to get it's package from 5-RELEASE, which lists lots of dependancies. How do I get mplayer package for 5.5 3) Is there any other video player with lesser dependencies since the machine has just 4GB HDD. the only dependencies it really has are the codecs that you want it to support. Heck, you can compile it so it only plays mp3 audio and xvid avis if you want to. So if you insist to go down the package route, i'm sure it was compiled with a ton of codecs included. if you compile it yourself, you just need to include what you want supported. And compiling those codec libraries or whatever won't take up too much disk space either. That's my suggestion to this situation you have. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: xampp under FreeBSD
well, brandelf is used to mark which ABI you want to use in order to run the binary, so the command you show isn't going to work. I guess I don't understand the need to use XAMPP when every part is fully supported via ports. My suggestion is to follow one of the many HOWTO guides for setting up Apache/PHP/MySQL for FreeBSD you can find via google. Even if you got everything working under linux_base I wouldn't be surprised that more issues would come up, let alone keeping your server secure at the same time. If you have any more specific questions let us know, but if you need some help setting up your web server there are a ton of HOWTO sites that will help you out. -nawcom Markus Mueller wrote: hello list, I have installed xampp (www.xampp.org), but I can't start it with brandelf -t lampp start. have someone an idea, how I can start lampp on freebsd ? ___ Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.

Hm.. from what I understand, tusar kumar wants to know how to assemble a laptop? like build one from scratch? if it has to do with hardware assembly, there's always ASUS barebones one can buy, or you can go the mini-itx route (http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/itx-laptop/?p) which i don't really consider it a real laptop. If it has to do with just installing FreeBSD on your laptop, well, there's the freebsd manual. A video on how to do it? Wow. you're asking alot from a free mailing list. I could probably make a quick video of me installing FreeBSD 6 onto a laptop for 3 simple payments of $9.99! (plus $12 shipping/handling.) Let me know if you are interested. Now this sort of makes me think of society today. this definitely not true in all aspects, but some people do insist on referring to looking at a TV 24/7. This seems to be quite abundant in the United States midwest. Which may also have to do with the obesity statistics when it comes to geographical location. I'm making an assumption that the one asking the question isn't from the US midwest though.

most likely has to do with your lappy not streching lower resolutions. im guessing you solve the issue previously with vidcontrol. something like vidcontrol -g 135x25 VESA_1024x768 (if your screen is full at 1024x768, replace it with the nedded resolution.) you can just add the option to rc.conf so you dont have to deal with crazy commands or additional shell scripts:: allscreens_flags=-g 135x25 VESA_1024x768' you might need to change the raster mode; 100x37 is also a common selection. and of course you cant forget recompiling your kernel! the fun part. the only lines you need to include the needed support is: options VESA options SC_PIXEL_MODE Have fun, there are some old issues with 1024x768 with older versions, like v5.3 in which there is a patch for.

ipfw secure setup for ssh bruteforcers
I have a pretty good setup with ipfw, and theres always dickheads constantly trying to get in - mostly through old microsoft and ssh1/2 exploits with certain usernames and passwords. I pretty much add their ip to a protected ban list (after 5 tries) which bans them from the entire server. From any professionals, what is the most effective technique that i should use to take care of these kiddies other than a complete ban? Is my technique good or is it oversecure? An admin said that doing this can be bad, especially when the kiddy is connected to a large network like a company or university; I may block other people who aren't guilty of the act. (which makes sense) I use the up do date ssh so any exploits are either patched up or will be patched when they're discovered, so holes in the program shouldn't be in issue. any replies would be wonderful, Thanks, Ben -- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. --- Benjamin Franklin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Mounting ext3 problem
ext3 is compatible w/ext2 when the dirty bit is not set. When it is set (one common reason is the filesystem not being correctly unmounted), journal rollback is necessary which only ext3 can handle. thats why running fsck_ext2fs on the partition should take care of the issues. it doesn't mean your partition is actually dirty, its just that freebsd doesn't (usually) attempt to mount partitions that were incorrectly unmounted.

Re: Is this possible? DHCP / DNS related.
I was having the same issue here at where I work at University of Michigan. We had a server that I personally set up for my work there, (static IP), but then we got a new net admin for the building that changed some stuff - making the server ip dynamic which made the dns record useless. There are ways around this to make it work - but the admin wasn't willing to cooperate. well what im trying to get at in this email is i decided to grab a hostname from no-ip (http://www.no-ip.com) which is a free service that uses a program you install to keep their dns up to date when your ip expires or changes. They have mutiple domains you can pick from, or you can pay them to have your own.

Re: fd_set
Now im your basic programmer, so the only thing i can relate fd_set to are the file descriptors (bit array i think) which are declared in the select function. select is used for basic input/output channel control. So by saying that - 1) perhaps the file that is being built is missing the sys header file, sys/types.h (if im wrong somebody correct me). I have ended up fixing #include and #define typos in programs due to an unsuccessful build which seems to be common, so maybe this may be your case also. 2) there might be something wrong with the header file itself, like fd_set not being declared. oh well - like i said -im your basic c/kernel coder, but this is what i would check out if i was thrown into your shoes. good luck, nawcom perhaps there might be something wrong with glibc?

Re: Xorg will not use nvidia driver, how do I change?
first of all, have you downloaded the driver from the nvidia site, and ran the installer script? you usually have to manually set up your xorg.conf file, which is very simple. the README file for this is provided on the support website, and with the installer package http://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-7667/README.txt heres a copy of the parts youre probably looking for, for your reading pleasure: sec-03) BASIC CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS __ These configuration instructions assume that you have a basic XFree86 or Xorg configuration file adapted for your system. The XFree86/Xorg configuration file has a minimum of two sections that are of particular interest: - the Module section - the Device section(s) corresponding to the NVIDIA device(s) A typical Module section configured for use with the NVIDIA Driver Set could look like this: Section Module Load bitmap Load extmod Load dbe Load type1 Load glx Load freetype EndSection Important: It is the 'Load glx' line which instructs the X server to load the NVIDIA GLX XFree86/Xorg extension module. The dri and GLcore lines, which are often present in auto-generated configuration files, are not required, but shouldn't do any harm. A typical Device section configured for use with the NVIDIA Driver Set could look like this: Section Device Identifier Device Driver nvidia VendorName NVIDIA BoardName GeForce2 Go EndSection Important: It is the 'Driver nvidia' line, which instructs the X server to use the NVIDIA XFree86/Xorg driver module (nvidia_drv.o) for this device. Most configuration utilities choose the open-source nv driver (nv_drv.o) by default; if your XF86Config/xorg.conf has a Device section with a 'Driver nv' line, you will need to change it to 'Driver nvidia'. Please see the README for the NVIDIA Linux Driver Set for a comprehensive description of available configuration options. __ (sec-05) CHOOSING THE AGP GART DRIVER __ Similar to the NVIDIA Linux Driver Set, the user can decide if the NVIDIA driver should use its internal AGP driver or if it should rely on the OS provided AGP driver with the NvAGP XFree86/Xorg config file option: - Option NvAGP 0 Disable AGP - Option NvAGP 1 Use NVIDIA's AGP GART Driver - Option NvAGP 2 Use the OS FreeBSD GART driver (agp.ko) - Option NvAGP 3 Attempt 2, fall back to 1 Unlike Linux, however, this option is not the only controlling factor at this point; because of known problems, nvidia.ko is built without support for FreeBSD's AGP driver by default. This behavior can be changed, see nv-freebsd.h for details. hope this helps; Ben Andreas Davour wrote: In my xorg.conf (written using xorgcfg) it looks like this: Section Device Identifier MittKort Driver nv ChipSet GeForce4 Ti 4200 Cardnv GeForce4 Ti 4200 EndSection When I run xorgcfg it never gives me the choice of nvidia as a driver, just nv.

Re: Realtek RTL8169 on FreeBSD 5.4: no carrier.
what irq information for re0 is listed when you do vmstat -i? theres known issues for gigabit devices like this. I know some people have fixed the no carrier issue (with broadcom gigabit) by using the windows ndis driver. perhaps you can give that a try? before using the ndis driver give this patched mod a try: http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/re/ another common issue with gigabit devices is when the interface is set up to autoselect. Does the the diode on the ethernet card and the diode on the switch/hub/whatever blink at the same time and then turn off (or something along the line)? the fix for this is to manually setup the mediatype to a fixed speed and duplex. That has been a fix for many people. Hope this helps Ben Julien Gabel wrote: I recently installed FreeBSD 5.4 on an ABIT AA-8 DuraMax and all went well. All hardware detected properly and everything was running great, until I got to configuring my network. ifconfig shows my onboard gigabit LAN as status: no carrier I can successfully ping localhost and the IP that was assigned to re0 (192.168.1.31). when I plug an ethernet cable from my FreeBSD box to my router, I get status: no carrier. Oddly, when I plug an ethernet cable from my FreeBSD box to my laptop's LAN port, I get status: active. The lights on the ethernet jack indicate the same. Additionally, if I manually set the media with the following command: # ifconfig re0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex The status magically switches to active and I can use my ethernet! I know that there are known problems with RealTek chipsets, but it is listed in the 5.4 supported hardware list. Bottom line is that the onboard LAN is detected, installed, and working properly, but it seems as if the driver can't properly detect when a cable is plugged into the jack.

Theres always php that you can use which can report shell command results on a web page. since ifconfig is a root command (assuming that no one else has access to files which report net status), you can cron it to a file. thats one of many ways to do that. you can also use swatch to report it if the net interface goes down. like i said, just a couple of many ways to go around this. hope this helps, Ben Alexandre D. wrote: you can do it with Big Brother www.bb4.org -Message d'origine- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Carstea Catalin Envoyé : samedi 6 août 2005 11:46 À : freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Objet : How can i monitor my server?

Re: Install freebsd in PocketPC?
unfortunately theres no support for the array of arm processors usually used in the palm pdas. I know that netbsd supports windows ce based pdas that use a mips based system and the usual HP iPAQ (hpcarm), but unfortunately the processors used in most palms dont include a MMU (memory management unit) This pretty much represents the support for virtual memory, which netbsd needs to run. I'm sure there is a linux project out there that supports palms. Good luck, Ben Bsderss wrote: Hi, Can anyone please tell me which PocketPC/Palm is compatible with FreeBSD?

Re: Segmentation fault (11)
do you have a copy of the core dump? also sometimes when you use php to interpret the page via the shell it leaves a little extra useful info. since it's a fault and not a kernel panic i wouldnt be worried that its freebsd itself fucking things up. this error only comes up when a program accesses a memory location that it wasn't assigned to. Because of error I've reinstalled Apache 1.3 and Perl5. what was the error and how was php5 compiled? did you uninstall php4 or did you do a FORCE_PKG_REGISTER? when you say that other php sites work fine do you mean that other php scripts work fine on your apache server? I apologize but your info is pretty general. all i can suggest is do a full deinstall clean on apache+php5 and php4 if the memory glitch has to do with its compilation. perhaps if you email the debug log specifics (strace php webpage.php) we could understand where the program is at when it crashes. -Ben steve lasiter wrote: This is a questions to the group since I'm not sure if it's related to my FreeBSD 5.4 OS or something else.

Re: making dvd from videos. (- hey you're lucky!)
heres a script for converting your classic codec based avi file to a VOB file for burning onto a DVD. i didnt test the program out, but i did check to make sure it's freebsd compatible. and luckly all of the needed programs are in /usr/ports/multimedia. You're lucky! http://inferno.slug.org/cgi-bin/wiki?AviToVob it looks like it does the following: -1. use mencoder to pull the video out of its container format or codec, -2. use mplayer to extract the audio channels into a separate file -3. converts the audio into an MP2 file -4. use transcode to convert the new avi into a VCD/SVCD compliant m2v file -5. use mplex to group the m2v and mp2 file to a full working mpg -6. use dvdauthor to make a legit folder containing the video file, title info, etc. im sure you can modify it to your needs. -7. use mkisofs to create an iso file out of the folder -8. use dvdrecord to burn the fucker. 8 steps in one shell script. not that bad huh. i may bookmark this page for future use. -Ben == Perttu Laine wrote: Hello!

Re: Questions FreeBSD NOT SPAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um. Ok. first of all, no one will respond with a subject like that. Secondly in a polite manner, I tried to interprete your questions so bare with me. - it looks like youre referring to 2 fat32 partitions that you want to install freebsd over. I am assuming this is what you mean by establish BSD atop. you can resize the partitions to make room for the bsd slice(s) you're going to create via freebsd installation. -At installation BSD then it is impossible to start Windows. When you install freebsd are you installing the freebsd bootloader, or are you just simply overwriting the MBR to only boot freebsd? -BSD does not have a graphical interface, but BSD does support X Windows. This is pretty identical to linux - the core operating system is command line based, gui support is managed through x windows. -if you sucessfully boot up your computer and reach the login prompt for freebsd, then it looks like you sucessfully have installed freebsd. but from what it sounds like you have a while until you satisfy your needs that you want from FreeBSD. you can always send questions to the mailing list - we're willing to help.
