Re: Sound card problem
Hi, I don't really ge an anwser to my own question, but I get a solution to have my sound card working: use OSS and it's automatically detected. My steps: - Remove envy24ht from loader.conf - Install oss (src required) - Enable oss un rc.conf at boot time dsp* devices are created, my sound card is dsp or dsp0. It's working fine and I can manage the sound.

network configuration problem
Hello, at the moment I'm using internet an emails via a 56k modem and ppp. I want to change to DSL -- but I'm not able to do it without help. I've bought a router/gateway from my provider (Telekom/T-Online) which is called "Speedport W 502V Typ A" an has the ip address 192.168.2.1; it is connectet to an ethernet card (rl0).

squeezecenter hangs kernel on sigterm

You're going to need a kernel debugger. The developers handbook has information: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html You might also try upgrading to 6.3 since it's unlikely we'll do an errata to fix this for 6.2.

If you have root, then run vipw(8). Look at the entry of the user you want to delete. It will list the home directory for that user. Presuming you want to remove everything about that user: - First delete everything in the home directory. - The user's mail inbox is likely to be in /var/mail/USERID. - There may be a crontab file. Check that with crontab -u USERID -l If there is nothing there don't worry about it. - and then usefind(1) to find all the remaining files and directories owned by that id. rm them if you want to. If any of them are files that other account also use, you may have to think out deleting them. Once you have removed all the files you want to, then go back to vipw and delete the entry from the password file. vipw will manage both the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd as well as the system password database correctly for you. Don't try to edit /etc/passwd or /etc/master.passwd directly. Of course, you can easily write a script in your choice of favorite language (sh, csh, Perl, etc) to do all this and all you have to do is enter in the user id. Probably there are some out there already, maybe even something in the base system.

Setting CPUTYPE and CFLAGS in make.conf
The advice I've read in several posts on the subject involve everything from setting one, setting both, to ignoring both, sometimes with the =? notation and sometimes without. And then, I've read comments that suggest when compiling the kernel, for example, both are ignored, and default values (tucked away somewhere) are always applied. IIRC, the handbook recommends at least setting CPUTYPE. My question isn't a holy grail type of quest for maximised performance, but concerns the meaning of those settings with respect to building world, building kernel and anything in ports. Put another way, I'm not a computer science major, but do have different systems that I compile for, and I'd like to have a better understand WTF I'm really doing. For example, what is the difference, if any, between a binary compiled with: CPUTYPE=opteron CFLAGS=-O -pipe compares with compiling it using: CPUTYPE=pentium3 CFLAGS= compares with compiling it using what I think are the universal defaults of: CPUTYPE= CFLAGS=-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe that get applied if the make.conf is blank? Can the resulting binary be run on each other's system? Or is it simply optimised to run on one, versus another? Or are those settings relevant to the compilation process only? Or to both the compilation process and the actual performance of the binary? Or should I be taking the dog for a nice long walk instead of watching scrolling compiler output? ;-) If someone could take a moment to explain in moderately technical terms what all the above means, or suggest a source for further reading, I'd be grateful. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Very often it is only one character out of place. Each header should
start with 'From' in the beginning of a line - eg as the first
character of the file or the first character after a newline-whitespace
combination.
It looks like you have some Greater-Thans ('>') stuck in there.
Try taking those away from in front of the initial From.

A silent UPS - (A little OT, I know...)
This may sound like a strange question, but is there a way to mute the voice box of a UPS? I have a highly specialised application for one- I need a mobile desktop pc (very cheap). I need to setup a pc for my little girl so that she has music, video, and visualisations while she's in her cot- which is mobile and moved from room to room. So I don't want to shutdown the pc when in transit, and I certainly don't want any shrieks when I unplug the power... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Why are some linux users saying that FreeBSD is dying
It would be helpful if you provided a URL for the article. I do not think they mean that FreeBSD systems are dying in terms of crashing or uptime.

Even netcraft is running FreeBSD and the uptimes section I can see quite a few running FreeBSD and not one linux! Is the data from netcraft reliable? I think perhaps the Linux users who say those things are just trying to get people to use Linux, for political reasons and not because Linux is necessarily "better". I'm trying to find out what they are looking at in netcraft that can possibly prove their point. It's a troll.

I do not think they mean that FreeBSD systems are dying in terms of crashing or uptime. They might mean that the Free BSD community is not growing as fast or staying as active as the Linux community.
