I started looking at this a while ago, this is incomplete but could get you started. I am sure there was a page in the xfce wiki about customising menus. What I found is you start by right clicking on the application menu and show properties where you can change from default to custom file menu - ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu matches the default and is an xml file. There is also some info that comes from the applications desktop files. I think the categories field links them to the matching category entries in the menu file. This is where newly installed apps just show up.

I've been using a BrookTree ("Haupauge WinTV") PCI card for
capturing from TV which worked very good using the standard

For capturing TV programs, there may be some service like the
Online TV Recoder which I occassionally use. Maybe this works also
for radio programs?
Additionally, there may be an option to download some kind of media
streams. There are tools for that available.
There is cx88 in the ports which will cover a lot of pci devices, and
webcamd covers just about all the rest. Then use mplayer or another
tool to record the stream.
And if you're real tricky you can set it to record at a specific time
and shut off at another specified time... :) I wrote a script for
this; a bit hackish, but it gets the job done. I have to clean it up
someday when I have the spare time.
No one suggesting MythTV? I haven't used a tuner card but I thought
MythTV was the one to use.

Re: jail and networking
It's been a while since I experimented with jails but I'm pretty sure it is the reason I changed my sshd_config When you start sshd on the base system by default it binds against 0.0.0.0 and :: which is every ip4 and ip6 address configured on the base system, which includes the aliased ip's for your jails. This is represented by the *:22 from sockstat. When you start the jail it can't start sshd because the base already has that address/port in use. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config comment out the ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 and ListenAddress :: then add ListenAddress 10.0.0.3 service sshd restart start your jail and try again The jail config is fine as the jail only sees the one ip address assigned to 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"

That would be why sshd isn't bound to the address before. man rc.conf for jail__ip says "... Additionally each address can be prefixed by the name of an interface followed by a pipe to overwrite" does that mean it clears the ip from the base system and re-creates it for the jail? I also see jail__interface "...When set, sets the interface to use when setting IP address alias. Note that the alias is created at jail startup and removed at jail shutdown."

You don't boot from an individual disk you boot from a zpool - all disks are linked together making one zpool "disk". Something has to pick a physical device from which to boot, does it not?. All the HP Smart Array 6i controller knows is I have 6 RAID 0 disks to present to the OS. I meant to add if the bootcode is installed on each disk then pointing the bios to any individual disk as the primary boot device will lead to the boot process loading the zpool. Installing it on each disk gives the redundancy to match the raid in the zpool. If you only have one disk with bootcode and it is the one that needs replacing then you can't boot. Then having 100 disks in a pool with bootcode would be overkill, but the consistency may be easier to maintain. I'm guessing that you ask as your machine isn't booting. You probably need to boot from a cd and do adjustments. Not exactly, I have a failing disk in slot 0, which corresponds to da0 in my device list (AKA gpt/disk0). I want to make sure I can boot if I pull this disk and replace it. If the zpool redundancy is sufficient for the zpool to work without the drive it shouldn't make any difference as to how the disk "disappears" only that the data is accessible/rebuildable. I've had issues with this RAID controller in the past where it won't present the new disk to the OS. I've had to reboot, go into the RAID config and tell it it's a single RAID 0 device (stupid, I know). When you think about it, as a raid controller it shouldn't make assumptions as to how to use the new disk, should it add it to an existing raid set, replace a missing drive or show it as a new single drive? Being able to specify per socket as permanently jbod could be useful feature though. The roll of /boot/zfs/zpool.cache is a mystery to me. I belive it somehow tells ZFS what devices are in use. What if a disk goes offline or is removed? As I understand it the zpool.cache contains the zpools mounted by the system. After reboot it then re-imports each zpool in the cache. I believe a recent commit enabled the vfs.root.mountfrom zpool to be imported even if there was no cache available. From what I have heard and seen the data about the zpool it belongs to and the role the disk plays in the zpool is stored on each disk and duplicated at the beginning and end of the disk. In my early experiments after starting clean even after gparting and zeroing out the start of the disks, zpool still says it belongs to a pool. ___ 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 might change my blog posts to reflect this stop gap. I guess it's due to my (mis)understanding that files shorter than 4KB stored on 4K drives never will be subject to compression. And as you state below, the degree of compression depends largely on the data at hand. I don't want to start a big discussion but want to express an opinion that others may think about. When it comes to disk compression I think people overlook the fact that it can impact on more than one level. The size of disks these days means that compression doesn't make a big difference to storage capacity for most people and 4k blocks mean little change in final disk space used. One thing people seem to miss is the fact that compressed files are going to reduce the amount of data sent through the bottle neck that is the wire between motherboard and drive. While a 3k file compressed to 1k still uses a 4k block on disk it does (should) reduce the true data transferred to disk. Given a 9.1 source tree using 865M, if it compresses to 400M then it is going to reduce the time to read the entire tree during compilation. This would impact a 32 thread build more than a 4 thread build. While it is said that compression adds little overhead, time wise, it is going to take time to compress the data which is going to increase latency. Going from a 6ms platter disk latency to a 0.2ms SSD latency gives a noticeable improvement to responsiveness. Adding compression is going to bring that back up - possibly higher than 6ms. Together these two factors may level out the total time to read a file. One question there is whether the zfs cache uses compressed file data therefore keeping the latency while eliminating the bandwidth. Personally I have compression turned off (desktop). My thought is that the latency added for compression would negate the bandwidth savings. For a file server I would consider turning it on as network overhead is going to hide the latency. ___ 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"

You are confusing two different things. portsnap updates the ports tree, which contains the files needed to compile the programs you install.

Look into this later if the later info doesn't fix it. for example py27-sqlite3-2.7.3_3< needs updating (index has 2.7.5_3) This is a python library to add access to sqlite db files. Don't confuse it with python itself. The Makefile for this will be in databases/py-sqlite3 but if I go into /usr/ports/lang/python27 and I look in Makefile, it reports PORTNAME= python27 PORTVERSION=2.7.3 PORTREVISION= 6 While this isn't the Makefile for py-sqlite3, pkg_version is telling you it knows about python 2.7.5 so this is not the Makefile that pkg_version is looking at, but it would appear to be the file that portmaster is looking at. It looks like you have two copies of the ports tree. Check /etc/portsnap.conf you may have an odd setting for PORTSDIR. Another possibility is you have an odd PORTSDIR defined in your environment, what does echo $PORTSDIR show?

Hi Shane,
This should probably be in the multimedi chapter of the Handbook or
the FAQ, or in the UPDATING file of the ports. Would you mind if I
copied parts of the text and added them to e.g the FAQ?
sure - I'm thinking FAQ. Maybe start with the following -
To use ffmpeg1 with an existing port.
The first step is to get the ffmpeg1 headers and libs found, this should
be easily accomplished with the following (an easy way to first check
that the port compiles with ffmpeg1) -
CFLAGS+=-I${LOCALBASE}/include/ffmpeg1
CXXFLAGS+= -I${LOCALBASE}/include/ffmpeg1
LDFLAGS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib/ffmpeg1
If the project source hasn't kept up with ffmpeg changes then you may be
able to replace some of the old functions to quickly keep it working
with the newer version. Blender can be source of inspiration for this -
http://projects.blender.org/scm/viewvc.php/trunk/blender/intern/ffmpeg/ffmpeg_compat.h?view=markup&root=bf-blender
The next step is to get it linking with the new lib names, these are
the ffmpeg lib names with a 1 appended to them eg. libavcodec1 instead
of libavcodec. Some ports may have options to make this easy for example
graphics/blender has a cmake variable called FFMPEG_LIBRARIES so adding
CMAKE_ARGS+=-DFFMPEG_LIBRARIES:STRING="avformat1;avcodec1;avutil1;avdevice1;swscale1"
to the port Makefile handles that. Other ports may need a search and
replace such as sed 's|avcodec|avcodec1|g' or a patch manually made
for their Makefiles.

You mentioned running 8.2 so I wondered if it has changed.
If you look through the source tree you will find in 8.4 that line has
the -n ${_jail} addition plus some other extras.
Looks like it showed up in stable/8 at r242083 as part of a larger

This is more of a best practices q. ZFS has data integrity checking, gmirror has low RAM overhead. gmirror is, at present, restricted to MBR partitioning due to metadata conflicts with GPT, so 2TB is the maximum size. Best practices... depends on your use. gmirror for the system leaves more RAM for ZFS. Perfect, thanks Warren. Just what I was looking for. I doubt that you would save any ram having the os on a non-zfs drive as you will already be using zfs chances are that non-zfs drives would only increase ram usage by adding a second cache. zfs uses it's own cache system and isn't going to share it's cache with other system managed drives. I'm not actually certain if the system cache still sits above zfs cache or not, I think I read it bypasses the traditional drive cache. For zfs cache you can set the max usage by adjusting vfs.zfs.arc_max that is a system wide setting and isn't going to increase if you have two zpools. Tip: set the arc_max value - by default zfs will use all physical ram for cache, set it to be sure you have enough ram left for any services you want running. Have you considered using one or both SSD drives with zfs? They can be added as cache or log devices to help performance.

Re: Updating a running jail
Sounds to me like you want to use cvsup. You can search for it in the handbook. Basically cvsup -g -L 2 cvsupfile will update ports/src/docs/cvs and can be run periodically by cron. The cvsupfile you specify has settings as far as what to update and where to put it - you can have a different config for src and ports if you want them in different places. You can config the cvssupfile to download cvs so you can have an up to date cvs tree locally to update from.

Actually it is broken into two parts - appkit and foundation - foundation is unrelated to the gui providing data structs (NSString, NSArray etc) the appkit contains NSWindow, NSButton, NSCheckbox etc that is integral to the gui. But it is all bundled together with the window server into what Apple calls 'cocoa' and sells only with Mac OS X. You can try gnu-darwin.org - this is a ppc/x86 darwin distro with X-windows etc. Out of interest - it was microsoft that stopped Mac OS X for intel being released. Many don't remember or just don't discuss - when apple bought out NeXT - it was running on intel hardware and the first developer release of OS X included an intel version - then came the publicity deal between MS and Apple - MS agreed to continue development of office for mac and bought $15 in Apple stock and Apple agreed to drop all the lawsuits against MS. The intel version has never been heard of since. The fact that they maintain the intel version of darwin means they can release an intel version at any time. The structure is in place to have current software recompile for different processors and even include multiple cpu binaries in the one application distribution. But then maybe they want their bases open so they can change their hardware to intel - they fell out with motorola and now get the G5's from IBM. And there have been times before OS X when they looked at getting the Mac OS running on intel hardware - it was between intel and motorola before they changed to the RISC based PPC. -- Shane Ambler Sales Department 007Marketing.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: netatalk, NFS, OS X and backup
Personally I use a combination of applescript and cli. With applescript you create a script that mounts the remote afp volume. Eg in script editor On run try mount volume "afp://server/sharepoint" as user name "name" with password "crypt" on error -- end try End run Personally I put the mount command inside the try block to prevent error dialogs coming up - that is why the -- (a comment line) is after on error - it tricks the script into doing nothing on error. As you might guess this is plain text - for security when you save it you can save as application and tick the run only box - this prevents the file being opened in the script editor and read - you can open and run it but not see the source. This will mount the specific share point - it shows up in /volumes/sharepoint - which can then be copied to/from I then use the cli to compress/copy files - personally I use stuffit deluxe for compression as the deluxe version includes the cli tools and handles resource forks / meta data etc. #! /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/stuff -f sitx -n /pathto/backupfile /pathto/filestobackup cp /pathto/backupfile /volumes/sharepoint/backupfile Of course you put the date/numbers into the filename as you prefer. One gotcha to look out for is if the sharepoint doesn't mount for whatever reason the cp step will create a folder in /volumes and will copy locally instead of to the server. There is also the option of using scp to get the files to the server. There is a cli - mount_afp - when I tried it some time ago I had some problem(can't remember what now) so I used the applescript instead. You then setup cron to run the applescript and the shell script when you want. With the applescript it is a gui app so in cron you need /usr/bin/open /pathto/applescript.app Remember the .app is not shown in the finder but is needed for the cli, easy to miss.

Re: 4.9 rebooting
I would agree with looking into hardware problems - I have a MSI-694 dual proc machine that about two or three months ago started rebooting once or twice a week for no apparent reason, then one hot day it became several times a day and I shut it down before going away for xmas. Now it won't even attempt to start with both cpu's - with one it will boot but at one of the hardware probes (just after keyboard) it restarts, as if someone is hitting the reset button. If it is failing hardware you may find no indication of the fault - the faulty hardware may cause the same effect as someone pressing the reset button - your logs would show normal operation then dmesg would show system boot with disks unmounted properly and starting (or delaying) fsck.

The only reference to libirml I can find is as part of Intels compiler package and it doesn't appear to be a part that the freebsd ports version of icc installs. One guess is that you may be using icc or have in the past leaving a dependency that was built with icc. While libirml seems to have some relation to tbb I don't see any reference within devel/tbb. graphics/openimageio brings in the dependency for tbb so you could try turning off the CYCLES option in blender to turn off that dependency. libirml may also be related to openmp so try turning off OPENMP as well.

Then start make buildworld... oops, I have a problem now, the usr/obj/usr stuff is now under /usr/obj/usr/jails/release91rc2..., However I want it to be under /usr/jails/release91rc2/usr/obj/usr. If the jails base dir is /usr/obj/usr/jails/release91rc2 then it can only access files below that base dir. That is part of the jails security. If your jail is based at /usr/obj/usr/jails/release91rc2 then the jail by default will buildworld into /usr/obj of the jail system which translates to /usr/obj/usr/jails/release91rc2/usr/obj on the base system. You can adjust the settings within the jail but it will always be within the release91rc2 dir so you can't use the jail to install into /usr/jails of the base system. From looking at the usr/src/Makefile It looks like I need to set the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/jails/relase91rc2/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp environment variable, but is that the best solution here? There's also a /usr/obj/lib32 directory (system is running amd64, I assume this is for 32 bit libraries), so I would likely need to do something here as well, that I haven't gotten to yet. lib32 is part of the final system - you don't need to handle it separately. See man src.conf if you want to turn off the creation of 32bit libs. You can set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX (default /usr/obj ) to define where the binary files are made. You can also set DESTDIR (default is / ) for the installworld step to define where they get installed. When you start a buildworld or buildkernel the compiled binaries are stored within MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. When that is complete the installworld or installkernel steps install the files from MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX into DESTDIR to create a workable system. That prevents a failed build from destroying part of your running system. If you want to experiment with different versions then you can also try- mkdir /usr/jails cd /usr/jails svn co http://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/9.0 9.0-src cd 9.0-src set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX = /usr/jails/9.0-obj set DESTDIR = /usr/jails/9.0-base make buildworld && make installworld cd /usr/jails svn co http://svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/9.1 9.1-src cd 9.1-src set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX = /usr/jails/9.1-obj set DESTDIR = /usr/jails/9.1-base make buildworld && make installworld I know the /usr/obj/usr directory can be deleted after the installation of the source, does the same go for the /usr/obj/lib32 directory? if so Anything in MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX (/usr/obj) can be deleted after you have installed it, including lib32 which are libs to allow running 32bit programs on a 64bit 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"

Not AFAIK. Could depend on hardware also; some card readers might not

I haven't tried this ---
Given that the reader is a usb device could it be added to the devd setup?
Something like -
attach 200 {
device-name "da[0-9]+";
match "vendor" "0x058f";
match "product" "0x6362";
action "/usr/bin/true > /dev/${device-name}";

Saved to /usr/local/etc/devd/SD.conf
vendor and product are from my internal reader that I never use as I
never did get it to mount a card - I have an external reader that works
fine. There should be a more generic way to recognise card readers.

Worst case is to delete the existing /usr/ports and extract a clean set. Another option is partial extraction - portsnap extract lang/php5-extensions will extract just the one port portsnap extract lang/php5 will match all lang ports starting with php5 portsnap extract lang will extract all the lang ports I think that you will find your issue comes from the fact that all the php4 ports have been deleted - you seem to have some old folders left behind. Could be from extracting over an existing cvs checkout. Maybe you want a clean start.

For a busy fileserver in the office you want the extra performance.

Is duplicate ports the only way to install multiple versions? This should be extended to boost-python-libs as well. I duplicated the port to boost-python3-libs and changed it to use py3.2.

start with man devd.conf
You can add your own devd files in /usr/local/etc/devd/

The disks are all the same type, and I formatted them for FreeBSD and put ZFS in a slice covering most of them. I have seen suggestions for OpenIndiana etc that it is better to let ZFS have the whole raw disk and that this can control the way it manages the disk writeback mode. Does this apply to FreeBSD and ZFS too? Presumably the disks are currently FreeBSD-specific. If I used raw disks instead of slices, could I read them from a Solaris system too? I recall reading that using partitions for zfs on FreeBSD was as good as full disks. For a boot zpool we need to at least have a partition for the boot-code and one for zfs preventing the use of a full disk. ZFS is meant to be compatible between different endian systems (x86 and sparc) From what I have read and heard it sounds like zpools are expected be compatible between different OS's as well - as far as zpool versions are compatible - but I do expect it would depend on the partition tables being readable - while full disk usage should work I would also think GPT is compatible. OSX 10.5 (x86 and ppc) included a read-only zfs kext (before Apple canned the project) so it must have been able to read Solaris or FreeBSD created zpools which does indicate a fairly high level of compatibility. I believe the way ZFS marks disks/partitions with the zpool data is so that the zpools can be recognised between systems and controllers - it would be interesting to know if and under what conditions a zpool can be accessed, both between different FreeBSD machines as well as the possibility of reading on a Solaris/Indiana machine.

Is this to replace an existing server (with a known amount of traffic) or a new setup for a new site? What size database do you expect? (you may have 2-5K per record and anticipate 100 records a day or you may have 2GB of data that you want to share) Is reliable (RAID) storage a necessity? Or will you have automated backups to another machine that would be sufficient to restore when needed? Is this an internal database for 10 users or a busy website that you hope to have 1000 users accessing at the same time? Some indication of the amount of data that would be read/written to the database and how many users will access it can help give an idea of what would be needed to keep up with the traffic. A good plan is to have some idea of a budget and necessary components (such as raid) and go with the fastest CPU you can get with what's left.

Re: FreeBSD router
The answer is yes it can be done. Which one is better depends on which cisco model you compare with and what hardware you are going to use to run FreeBSD with what features. As well as your knowledge of FreeBSD admin/network config. As mentioned before you may be expected to compile a custom kernel to best handle your setup. Consider - Are you building this for internal use or as a resell product? What is your FreeBSD/network knowledge level? Do you feel a little overwhelmed at the prospect of installing/configuring/supporting the router yourself? How much downtime is tolerable as you learn/find the solution to problems along the way? An example - I am located in Adelaide, Australia and there is a company here that has been around for several years mainly providing network related support, they sell their own network appliances built from FreeBSD and some custom software that features router, firewall, dmz, vpn, proxy cache, spam filter, network monitoring, CF boot disks. (they can configure/support cisco equipment that you may have installed and I think will sell it to you if you want it but push their products instead of cisco gear) Products range depending on needs but generally the head office may have a P4 rackmount case with a few network cards (offering load sharing across multiple ADSL connections) and a small home/branch office may get a mini-atx 700Mhz VIA chip unit with 1 or 2 network interfaces. Individual pc's (as well as handheld devices) can also connect straight to the vpn as well if that is sufficient for the needs. Most offices would connect with ADSL these days with an option of direct ISDN connection to HO as backup when ADSL is unavailable. Setup as automatic fallover when needed. Australia wide support is provided from the local office with remote offices being setup with modem dialup to allow console access by directly dialling into the appliances in case internet or vpn functionality is not working. Those sort of options would account for a high priced cisco setup that could allow a decent profit margin/cost saving between hardware cost and complete product. With simpler needs the cost difference would be a lot closer. To setup and maintain this setup would need a good knowledge base to ensure sufficient support/maintenance. There are a few options available for pre-built FreeBSD firewall setups which could make it worthwhile for you - I would have said http://netboz.org but the site doesn't seem to be running at the moment (maybe temporary) another is http://m0n0.ch/wall/ I have come across a few other projects over time but haven't really looked at any in great detail and can't seem to find any other bookmarks.
