Re: KDE: What a monster!
I didn't know links had agraphics mode... time to checkt this out! start with -g option, of course select X11 support on port config well i have laserjet 4 and use ghostscript+lpr. can't help you. I still have a Laserjet 4 (my first printer), I got it as a present, never treated it kindly (printed VERY much), and it's still working. It's more than 15 years old now, mind this, or that's why i bought it for ca 50$ USED, already had 86000 pages printed, and i printed about 35000. All you have to do is to lubricate with oil some parts every half a year or so, when it starts to have problem with paper jamming. i once printed 2500 pages at once - all i had to do was to put paper. You can even swap toner cardridge on the fly. There are polish-produced replacement cardridges that costs 35$ for 1 pages. With this printer the highest cost is a paper ;) better, try this with a "consumer class" ink-pee "printer". :-) it's crap don't use it. The LJ4000d (duplex) does automatically rotate the paper for every \newpage if setup this way (setup in the printer itself), so gs + lpr should work there, too. It can understand PCL and PS. Can you tell me how exactly you combine gs and lpr? Maybe I can in /etc/printcap lp|lokalna::sh:if=/etc/ifhp:lp=/dev/lpt0:df=/etc/hpdf:sd=/var/spool/output/lo:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: your /etc/ifhp script should be a filter converting input to whatever your printer handles - PCL5 in my case i use ghostscript. mine looks like this (sligtly modified example): #!/bin/sh # # ifhp - Print Ghostscript-simulated PostScript on a DesJet 500 # Installed in /usr/local/libexec/hpif # # Treat LF as CR+LF: # printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2 # # Read first two characters of the file # read first_line first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'` if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then # # It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it # /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- - \ && exit 0 else # # Plain text or HP/PCL, so just print it directly; print a form # at the end to eject the last page. # echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\f" && exit 0 fi exit 2 simply use text mode irc clients like epic or BitchX. I liked the last one, but then switched to X-Chat 1 (with Gtk 1) which was very comfortable. you have strange definition of comfort ;) to incorporate new mail (from /var/mail, I fetch separately via fetchmail) disables its whole GUI for several seconds, which is funny as every normal mail clients reads mailbox files directly. alpine reads maildir dirs directly, and i use maildir format (through procmail). I don't have a mail server running on my home desktop, so I get you don't have to use alpine. it access maildir files directly. messages through POP3 using fetchmail. that's good. look at port options. i installed mplayer recently, works fine. Is the Makefile.local mechanism still supported? Allthough I'm a big fan of pkg_add -r, mplayer has been one of the few things I always to compile (due to the options). no idea all i did was to do make configure then make install Whenever I quit some programs (confirmed for: xmms, xzgv), the mpg123 is your friend. best ever mp3 player. I always thought madplay is better than mpg123. But I think it i used mpg123 on 160Mhz 486 and it used ca 50% CPU at full quality. i don't know any player that needs less CPU power. (I prefer my system to be english-only, with this particular piece of software as the only exception.) use LyX. Hm, I prefer to "code" LaTeX myself, but I found LyX to be a good tool to suggest to students who wanted to write a thesis that doesn't look like a piece of shit. :-) so use latex :) personally i use both. ports/misc/mc-light Will try this, sounds promising. I tried to change the code in MC definitely try this. it contains only those part of mc that are actually useful. different programs to get your job done. i really prefer unix philosophy. Another part of this philosophy is that you can combine these tools, such as by the means of piping of temporary files, so in a "chain" of processing, if something goes wrong, you can inspect every piece in between. indeed it's really worth spending these few $ on windoze that case. Here in Germany, it's more convenient NOT to pay, but still to use. And "Why should I pay you to work on my computer?" :-) that's wrong. You should pay or not use it. You should fight software piracy. Not because it's bad, but because it's the best microsoft friend. Without piracy microsoft wouldn't exist today at all. much more. It's called AmigaOS.

Apropos 160MHz... I'd like to tell a story that is completely true, and it makes me wonder whenever I hear users of uber-powerful hardware, "tons of Megs", huge hard disks and two-fan GPUs start complaining that they have "skipping audio" in their KDE / Gnome programs... I don't get this. With all the power of today's computer, this cannot be. When a P1 150MHz, 64 MB RAM, 3dFX GPU, 6,4 GB HDD was my first FreeBSD system (4.x), I did ALL AT THE SAME TIME: 1. download some ISO via FTP 2. burn another ISO onto CD (Mitsumi 4x recorder) 3. compile something 4. browse the web with still responsive Opera and finally 5. listen to NON-SKIPPING MP3s. It's not a lie, I really DID THIS. And I have this machine here, it will be turned into an experimental server soon. > >> ports/misc/mc-light > > > > Will try this, sounds promising.

You should pay or not use it. Many "Windows" users that I know do use a pirated copy of "the good XP" or something else. No idea how they get it running without product key, maybe cracked versions. I never had any situation when to think: "Well, I need 'Windows' now.", and I don't think I have a system that is supported. So I'll keep clean. :-) > You should fight software piracy. Not because it's bad, but because it's > the best microsoft friend. I like this one: http://razzor.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/open_source_communism.jpg Software pirates of "Windows" get always punished because they have to use what they pirated, that's punishment enough, as well as all the fine viruses (virii), trojans, worms, the nice spyware, the malware, the bloat and the time they spend re-installing everything. :-) The downside is that everyone else gets punished, too, or what do you think more than 90% of the e-mail transferred today is spam? > Without piracy microsoft wouldn't exist today at all. That's the reason for the big "usage share" (like "market share") of the many different "Windows" (and people keep complaining about many different Linux distributions). Funny picture on this: http://beconfused.com/images/2007/01/the-joy-of-tech-the-many-editions-of-windows-vista.jpg I'm always happy that "Windows" is NOT a topic to me. > > "Democracy simulation". That's why less and less people go voting. > > i don't vote since 4 years. I don't know how the voting system is in Poland, but I think not going to vote is the wrong way. The German voting system leaves you three choices: 1. You vote for a party, this party's votings increase by 1. 2. You don't go to vote. Your voting is associated to the party that already has the most votings (relatively). So not going to vote supports the big parties. 3. You go to vote, but give an invalid voting, either by not making any mark, or marking all parties, or striking them through (that's what I do to express that I don't want any on them). I had the idea that the voting system should be inverted. Instead of giving a voting to a party, parties are marked as "denied". The more a party is denied, the less good it is, because at a certain point, the party will be disassembled or forbidden. So we would get rid of all those self-claimed "representa

so what is the best commercial/shareware that can read a 10pt-font file? (( also, when i have time to get back into actually hacking, this [[turning imaged pdf into OCR'able ascii or 8859-1]] is giong to be a first target. any idea which team i should go with. gOCR looks best so far to me. AABBYY Finereader - Omnipage haven't been able to catch it in several years either feature or qualitywise. No idea if Finereader runs under emulator though. If the file is already a PDF and 72 DPI with text as graphics most of the damage has already been done, and it will be extremely hard to OCR. -Reko ___ 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"
Steps to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE
Hello, I would like to confirm the steps required to upgrade a 7.0 system with a custom kernel to 7.1 so many thanks for all suggestions! 1/ Back up /etc (of course backups are regularly done, but based on what I saw on the list I think such a backup just prior to upgrade may be quite beneficial) # cp -pR /etc/ /etc-7.0 2/ Go for the upgrade and merge files (if any) # freebsd-update -r 7.1-RELEASE upgrade 3/ Install the updates # freebsd-update install 4/ Reboot with a GENERIC kernel (I do have it) # nextboot -k GENERIC 5/ Reboot with a custom kernel # shutdown -r now 6/ Finish the update process # freebsd-update install 7/ Recompile the custom kernel # cd /usr/src # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL 8/ Final reboot # shutdown -r now I was told earlier that 7.0 -> 7.1 journey is a minor one and so I do not need to rebuild all the ports.

Re: Looking for a Good FreeBSD and General Unix Backup System
If you're looking for something "serious" (I mean with incremental/differential/full backups, retension periods, pools, multi platform, tape/file/dvd support, ...)

Apache Reverse Proxy with Memory Cache
Hi all, I installed an apache22 server (with mod_proxy, mod_cache and mod_mem_cache) on FreeBSD 7.0 for reverse proxy that using static contents of a web site. Now it's seems work fine; but i didn't found a way to looking mem cache status. Ofc i can get some information about that with using native tools (like top, systat, vmstat). But what if i need to looking for the cached objects in the memory ? Is there any way to getting list of that cached objects ?

Very odd. The processor is an Athlon 64 X2 4850e. Being one of the newer energy efficient 45 watt models I suppose there might be a difference in the temperature sensor. It might also be an issue with the motherboard (Foxconn FC-6150M2MA-KRS2H). After I got the motherboard I needed to upgrade the BIOS in an attempt to fix an unrelated problem. Prior to the update even the BIOS reported silly high temperatures and I remember FreeBSD reporting a constant 40C but I don't remember whether this was from sysctl, k8temp or mbmon. I don't overclock the system so after satisfying myself that it doesn't have any tendency to overheat I no longer have much need to monitor the CPU temperature so I think the way my system reports temperatures will just remain as one of life's little mysteries. -- Mike Clarke ___ 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"

Quantum tape drive
I am trying to replace an older DLT tape drive (which doesn't like to eject tapes any more) with a new Quantum DLT-4 drive. Its connected by internal SCSI and seems to be set up right.

None of those options exist in the BIOS of this particular machine. I assume it's always enabled due to its lack of PS/2 connectors. At least one Google hit mentions Dell Optiplex 745 specifically not working while model 755 boots FreeBSD without problems. Disabling atkbd via hints (as suggested by other posts) doesn't change the behaviour either unfortunately. This isn't extremely important to me.

IS> Thanks, lots of useful info; hoping to try some weighted queueing soon. Yes, you are right -S 10.10.16.19. both ping are run simulteneously I have experimented with pipes after pipes. With dummy it is possible to do next: put two flows to pipe 512Kbit, pipe will be devided by equal parts: 256. in case the only one flow is active it will be 320Kbit pipe 1 bw 512kbit queue 1 pipe 1 pipe 2 bw 320kbit ipfw add 1 pipe 2 all from any to any ipfw add 2 queue 1 all from any to any First of all packets will be piped to 320Kbit/s then they will be queued to 512Kbit. Because of flow of 320 is less then 512kbit packets will leave queue with speed of 320. In case two flows both will be piped to 320 kbit in sum this will be 640kbit, Because of queue bw is 512kbit some packets will be droped. This will down each flow speed to 256 NOTICE: A) you must create its own pipe for each flow so you must use mask 0x. I use: pipe 1 config bw 512k mask src-ip 0x gred 0.002/10/30/0.1 pipe 2 config bw 320k mask src-ip 0x gred 0.002/10/30/0.1 B) you must put all flows to one queue so they share available bw so you must use mask 0x I use: queue 1 config pipe 1 mask src-ip 0x gred 0.002/10/30/0.1 keep in mind IPFW.man: In practice, pipes can be used to set hard limits to the bandwidth that a flow can use, whereas queues can be used to determine how different flow share the available bandwidth. So when you give user some bandwidth to user you must put its flow to pipe If users will share some bandwidth then put their flows to queue Suggestion: What queue inherit from pipe? It seems queue inherit only bandwidth parameter from pipe. If so then it is boring to create useless pipe to inherit only bw parameter. It will be handy directly write this parameter in queue and remove DEPRECATED (I think so) 'pipe' opts from queue. In any case this is "black box" how pipe is coupled with queue. This is unclear section in man. Also I notice next BUG: There are two modes of dummynet operation: normal and fast. Normal mode tries to emulate real link: dummynet scheduler ensures packet will not leave pipe faster than it would be on real link with given bandwidth. Fast mode allows certain packets to bypass dummynet scheduler (if packet flow does not exceed pipe's bandwidth). Thus fast mode requires less cpu cycles per packet (in average) but packet latency can be significantly lower comparing to real link with same bandwidth. Default is normal mode, fast mode can be enabled by setting net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast sysctl(8) variable to non-zero value. kes# ping 10.10.16.18 PING 10.10.16.18 (10.10.16.18): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.10.16.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=18.441 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.16.18: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=11.501 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.16.18: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=11.516 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.16.18: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=11.557 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.16.18: icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=11.534 ms ^C --- 10.10.16.18 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 11.501/12.910/18.441/2.766 ms #ipfw pipe 1 show 1: 65.536 Kbit/s0 ms5 sl. 12 queues (64 buckets) GRED w_q 0.001999 min_th 10 max_th 30 max_p 0.01 mask: 0x00 0x/0x -> 0x/0x BKT Prot ___Source IP/port Dest.

Thanks. Would this decrease the ability of other Unixes being able to read the tape? For example, using pax (which can read tar archives) or GNU's tar? Sadly, I forgot to mention something in my last message. Sorry. When reading from the tape using tar (bsdtar from FreeBSD 6.2 -- and, yes, I'm preparing a cvsup as I write this :) ) the tape drive's Alarm and Fault LEDs are lit up and then camcontrol devlist no longer shows the tape drive. After I wrote to the tape via a quick boot into Knoppix, I found that FreeBSD's tar command could list the files on the tape. So maybe that is in the past now. Maybe not. I should have mentioned it earlier. Sorry. Any other thoughts before I try to OS update and the larger block size?

Problem with ezjail: Manually restarted jails don't come up again
Hi folks, I have a strange problem on my 7.1-RELEASE with ezjail here. I have 5 jails configured with ezjail, and they run flawlessy - they come up on boot without problems. However, if i stop a jail (via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ezjail.sh stop ) and then want to restart it via the rc-script, it stalls here: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ezjail.sh start mldonkey.local Configuring jails:. Starting jails: If I check with jls and 'pgrep -lfj ', i see that there are processes inside the hanging jail running, including /etc/rc. I guess the jails are hanging somewhere in the boot-process, and i guess it's /etc/rc. I even doubt that this is an ezjail-only problem, but this is just a guess. Any hints?

issues with X not loading
On freebsd 6.0, I started having issues with X on Friday, and by Sunday, clicking buttons on the XFCE toolbar or choosing menu items from the XFCE menu weren't working. Subsequent to this, X would just hang when I run startx. I think what may have started this was trying to portupgrade gnucash, because it looks like some port items that were dependencies for other things (xorg-protos, for example) have been removed from the ports system. so, I tried portupgrade for xfce4, which tells me everything is current. Then I tried portupgrade xorg, which did upgrade a lot of things. This got me to a point where I can run startx, and rather than hanging, it, um, crashes gracefully. I receive this error: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" Parse error on line 75 of section Files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "RgbPath" is not a valid keyword in this section. (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file Fatal server error: no screens found giving up. I can comment out line 75 referred to above, but that seems to put me back to where I was before trying to upgrade: startx hangs the computer... Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Quantum tape drive
I am trying to replace an older DLT tape drive (which doesn't like to eject tapes any more) with a new Quantum DLT-4 drive. Its connected by internal SCSI and seems to be set up right. But after DAYS of running a tar command, its still not done backing up 60GB. The old drive could backup 70-80GB in about 7 hours. try mt setblk 0 and then tar -b 64 some drives gets locked with small blocks. and most can get locked with improper termination ;) check it. I changed my backup script to include a -v flag in the tar command, and it now lists hundreds or possibly thousands of files. But it never even gets to /home before I killed the process (after 9 hours in this case). Any suggestions? If it helps, the backup script and output from camcontrol follows.

There are other things to consider as well, such as narrow, wide, ultra, and ultra-LVDT. Active termination and passive termination. Is there termination at the SCSI card?

The worst case is that it > fails during installkernel, leaving him to boot from kernel.old. The worst case is 1 to N random reboots during buildworld (been there, done that), leaving the filesystem inconsistent, needing an fsck -y, unless you trust background_fsck, then finding out it's the hardware, not the OS. It's easy to find out if the OS panics, by enabling crash dumps. Then you can still decide whether an upgrade might fix it and you may even get a clue as to which hardware or kernel subsystem is affected, if the kernel dumps.

The best choice is dump, which was designed and built for exactly this purpose. (tar is fine for archives of static hierarchies, but it is not suitable for full-system backups.) Dump fully supports the concept of full/partial backups in a robust manner. (It has other useful features as well, notably its ability to deal with non-quiescent filesystems in a sensible way.) Excellent backup systems can be built with judicious use of dump -- you don't need to waste money on commercial products. [1] Depending on your specific requirements, it may be desirable to combine dump with other programs you already have (e.g., rysnc, gzip/bzip, scp, and so on). For example, I recently had occasion to build a system which backed up and replicated a multi-terabyte repository across a WAN. Using just the tools already on the system, and about 300 lines of shell (2/3 of which are comments), it wasn't that difficult to meet both requirements and do so in a way that minimized the bandwidth needed. This is really no big deal: it's just a matter of selecting the right tools and combining them -- which is the essence of the Unix philosophy. ---Rsk [1] Every commercial backup system I've evaluated for Unix -- over many, many years -- has produced inferior results. It pains me to watch people waste money on over-priced, under-performing and often-insecure commercial packages when they already have all the software they need...and just need to learn how to use it. ___ 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: Restarting new Xorg freezes system
Luke Dean wrote: The operating system and ports were all cvsupped and built from source today. I'm running Xorg + windowmaker + the "radeon" driver on i386 7-STABLE My xorg.conf was built from scratch by "Xorg -configure", plus I added Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to the "ServerLayout" section, per /usr/ports/UPDATING, since I'm not running hal and I can't get keyboard or mouse otherwise. Everything appears to be great. My applications launch much faster than they did before the upgrade. Shutting down and restarting X is the only problem I'm having. This was not a problem before I upgraded to the new Xorg. This is a desktop system. I launch X with "startx" from the console. I can shut down X either by exiting windowmaker or by killing the Xorg server with ctrl+alt+backspace. There appear to be some failure messages on the console when I shut down X, but I don't know what they mean or if they're important. I'm attaching a log below. I don't see any stuck processes after the shutdown, but perhaps I don't know what I'm looking for. If I later restart X with "startx", some corrupted graphical junk appears on the screen and the system freezes solid. Keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive. NumLock light won't change.

This was it. I should not have used the root-account inside the jails with zsh. I now use the toor account on zsh and put the shell of root back to csh everywhere. However, I don't understand why zsh is invoked, since all rc.d-scripts have shebang lines telling them to use /bin/sh? I'm a bit confused, maybe can someone give a bit light on this...

Re: Looking for a Good FreeBSD and General Unix Backup System
On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 05:11:22PM -0800, Doug Hardie wrote: > Most certainly. Use the restore function. Interactive mode is easiest > for a small number of files. Doug's correct. The interactive mode of restore, with its shell-like interface, is probably easiest if you're just looking for two files or one directory or similar. The non-interactive mode, which has a syntax similar to tar's, is probably easiest if you're going to restore many files/directories, or if you're going to restore an entire filesystem. Two notes to tuck away for future use: First, when you use interactive mode, you use shell-like commands (e.g., "cd", "ls") to navigate the directory hierarchy and pick out what you want to restore. You add each one to a list (that restore keeps track of for you) and then, when you've selected them all, you tell restore to extract them. This is point where restore will tell you that you haven't read any tapes yet, and ask you what tape to read. Tell it "1". There's a long explanation behind this that has to do with the days when 1600 BPI 9-track tapes were backup media, and dumps often spanned multiple tapes, and so on. Second, restore runs in user mode, so when it restores a file (or all the files in an entire filesystem) it creates them through the same mechanism any other user-mode program would. That means, from Unix's point of view, they're new files: new inode number, and all that. So if you're doing a major restore -- say, an entire filesystem -- then you probably want to follow that up with a level 0 dump if you plan to do partial dumps. Otherwise, those partial dumps aren't going to have what you probably want them to have. Arguably this is inconvenient but (a) it's a rare circumstance (b) it's not THAT inconvenient and (c) there's no good way around it without sacrificing a lot of the power of dump. Okay, three notes: it's often advisable to create a scratch directory and restore into that, just in case you fumble-finger something. Given that you're restoring, which means something has gone wrong, possibly a big something, you may be stressed and hurried, and thinking that this would be the worst possible time for something ELSE to go wrong. A scratch directory insulates you from most of that. (No, of course this is entirely based on other peoples' experiences, it would never relate to my own...why do you ask?) ---Rsk ___ 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"

Problems with Xorg update
Two days ago I checked to see what source code was out of date and I noticed that many xf86 and various xorg drivers were. Because the number was significant I used the "portupgrade -a" command to make sure all the dependencies were processed properly. As it turned out, there were still a couple of places were the process broke and I needed to do a "deinstall" and "reinstall" on a certain package(s) before I could continue. When the process was done I tried to run "startx", but I got an error. I ran just X without startx or xinit and I get the message: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11: Server aborting Abort trap: 6 I've tried to reinstall xorg, xorg-drivers, and a handful of other drivers, but no luck.

This is failing during portupgrade. Ok. I switched lists by mistake, but the maintainer doesn't seem to be watching the ports list and he seems to be the only one there who knows what could be going on, sp it could be a good thing. Can someone tell me which has precedence in this scenario: I just had a look at debugging this problem, and in krb5-protos.h it defines a structure as follows: krb5_set_real_time ( krb5_context /*context*/, krb5_timestamp /*sec*/, int32_t /*usec*/); but in both includes.h and includes.h.orig it has: krb5_error_code krb5_set_real_time(krb5_context context, int32_t seconds, int32_t microseconds); So which should change? My bet is on samba-libsmbclient, but if I change this how will it affect the rest of the system? ___ 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"

I seem to recall that it is never good to mix the two systems (freebsd-updates and csup) to avoid trouble. Is that true? Also, the documentation you mention (24.7.1) says this: After installkernel finishes successfully, you should boot in single user mode (i.e. using boot -s from the loader prompt). How can this be done with a remote machine? -- Zbigniew Szalbot www.slowo.pl www.fairtrade.net.pl ___ 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"
