deleting directories with ??? in name
I've tried lynx, but it did not display the files. I tried emacs, but I was only able to rename two of the directories to other names I could delete; the other two gave me an error of illegal character. I tried 'rm -i -- ?*' but it didn't find the files. I tried 'find . -inum 146 -delete' but while it gave no error message, the files/directories remain. Help! How do I delete these odd directories?

[Fwd: Re: deleting directories with ??? in name]
I managed to delete the files by recreating the directory. Not to seem ungrateful, but isn't it a Bad Thing that it is not straightforeward to delete any file on the system (as root, and thwarted merely because of the characters in the name of the file/directory)? I'm not in a position to mangle lynx, but oughtn't it to be able to zap ANY file regardless of its name? (emacs is obtuse to me.) Is this worthy of a PR? Or are there other ways to kill a malconforming file? Why should an annonomous FTP user be able to create a directory tree that the root account of the machine can't traverse and delete normally?

Re: deleting directories with ??? in name
Hi Parv, It looks like another directory structure has appeared in the ftp directory that Lynx does not see and that find . -inum inode -delete does not delete. It does have a dot as the first character, with some other non-printing characters, but no /. I haven't yet tried to delete it with emacs or Midnight Commander. Do you still want to look at it?? If so, as I'm not overly conversant with tar (or too much else that's *nix), please send me the 'tar' command you'd like me to archive the directory structure with, and I'll send the result.

handling non-printable characters in file names
Hi all, Leaving out the details, I need to know how to navigate directories and remove files that use non- printable characters in their names. du and ls show me they're there, but I can't figure out how to make cd work, or rm either. Fwiw, the non-printable char is \225. Lynx was not able to see the directory either, but maybe because it began with a . - I don't know. Also, is there a way to configure FBSD from accepting non-printable characters in file names? Thanks in advance.

no sound with 4.8 KDE
Hi all, After building a new kernel with pcm, and doing sh MAKEDEV snd0 in the /dev directory, there is still no sound from an old Gateway with some kind of PCI Ensoniq card. This is my first crack at setting up an X11 server and sound, so I may be missing something obvious. I've tried running xmms, artsdsp xmms, with and without esd, zinf from a command prompt, and cdcontrol. This all has been built a couple days ago, with 4.8 a week old CD-ROM built via FTP, and KDE via FTP direct. The sound output driver selection in xmms shows nothing for the audio and mixer devices, and selecting the alternates (/dev/dsp /dev/mixer) does not make it work. Also, if it bears on the issue, I couldn't get the nVidia driver to run - it failed without an error message in the log file (only info msgs) - so I used Vesa which causes some garbage to be put on the screen upon initialization, but then works thereafter.

Or have you tried using something like noatun - which comes with KDE 3.1 When you run the sound daemon for system sounds and such on KDE, it interferes with xmms, and as a result xmms doesn't work. You have to turn that off in order to use xmms. Usually its as easy as looking for something like arts in ps -x I get a beep when I backspace while at column 1 at the console, but not within a console window inside KDE. Also, I've read just recently that KDE chimes when it starts - I don't get that either. zinf does not give me any sound running at the root console (nor inside KDE), btw. The KDE shell tells me it is for version 3.1.0, but typing in noatun is not a command. Where/what is that? I just discovered that the system bell works, and I can change it's pitch. fwiw. arts, is set, via the sound system module, to let go of the sound card after 60 seconds, which pop-up message I see. xmms does not work either before or afterwards. Killing artsd does not allow xmms to work either. There's also an error message (two actually) at KDE/artsd start-up that it cannot set real-time priority for the sound. Is this a problem? Thanks.

still no sound
Hi all, After not being able to get sound to work under 4.8 with a Ensoniq sound card, I tried using a ESS Solo-1E card. Still no sound. (Though the keyboard beep still functions.) As I had said originally, this is all new to me so there may be something fundamental I'm doing wrong. I have already recompiled the kernel with PCM support, and made the SND0 devices. Zinf still does not give me music. Doing dmesg | grep pcm shows me ESS Solo-1E, (a bunch of port addresses) irq 10 at device 13.0 on pci0.

4.6.2 spurious reboot, fwiw
As a newbie reading the e-mails in the forum, I'd like to mention that the log (from 'last') shows my FBSD 4.6.2 system rebooted a little after 2 last night.

Thanks for the pointer. I wonder if they'll eventually block this other port number also. I guess time will tell. Walter Ty Hoeffer wrote: It will probably require a call to their tech support. One thing you could try is trafshow. It will display incoming outgoing traffic, its port, the protocol being used, and the chars/sec invilved in the conversation. That or capture the traffic with Ethereal. Both of these apps are in the ports. Ty On Monday 04 November 2002 01:34 pm, you wrote: They may be. Do you know how can I tell for certain?

Re: FreeBSD filesystem 1TB Limit

can't load kernel on 386 system
I've installed a minimal+docs generic system on 500-somethingMB HD, and I'm trying to run it on a 386, 8Mb RAM computer. It fails at elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed can't load module '/kernel': input/output error Because of the small HD, and the fact that the /var and the /tmp partitions never use over a few hundred blocks on my Pentium computer, I made them 32Mb each for the 386, but accepted the defaults for the / and the Swap partitions; the /usr partition got the remainder of the HD.

You'll still miss all of the BIOS POST information which is being delivered to the non-working mono video, but at least you'll get everything after the initial boot blocks are read. That's presuming you have another host / dumb terminal to connect to the serial port. I don't know how to configure a serial console, but that doesn't matter since I don't have one of those.

Re: Setting firewall symbolic constants
Matthew Seaman wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Can these be set by the system automatically? Specifically $firewall_simple_onet? If you switch to using PF rather than IPFW, this is very easy. In a PF ruleset, the name of an interface is expanded to a list of all of the IP numbers configured on it. So you'll frequently see rules like this: ext_if = de0 [...] pass log on $ext_if proto tcp \ from any to any port smtp \ flags S/SA keep state You can also say $ext_if:network to mean the locally attached network on that inerface. Works with both IPv4 and IPv6. One important wrnkle -- normally the resolution from interface name to IP number happens just once, when the rules are initially loaded. If your interface has a dynamic address, simple enclose the i/f name in brackets, like so: ($ext_if) This causes PF to update the mapping as the IP number changes. It's less efficient, which is why it isn't usually done for a machine with fixed addresses, but that won't cause you any problems for typical DSL or even Cable speeds. Cheers, Matthew Thanks, that's good to know, but I think I'll still plunge along to work a solution for ipfw; it seems to be the default. And along the way I can detect and assign both interfaces and addresses automatically so I can make it work magically (crosses fingers) on computers with different cards without me having to configure them.

In my experience, asking shop clerks which chipset a card uses only produces puzzled looks. Second best thing is to download the driver for the revision of the card that you want to buy. Unpack the driver and read the .inf files. That will probably yield the chipset type. If not, use strings(1) on the drivers themselves. Roland It's a crap shoot? Yikes. I guess I'll just pick one and take my chances, but - no fault to FBSD - it appears to be a sorry state of affairs in the computer driver arena. I can guess the latest rev listed on the support web site is what I'll get when I buy the box?? (Maybe not, as I got a rev A router last December when the latest was rev B.) Later I'll work on getting the driver downloaded and unpacked on my Windows machine (as my Mac won't process those .exe files). Did I read that there's a way to use Windows drivers in FBSD 7? There are places I can download those for XP/Vista, so if I could use those - even if they're not the optimal solution - it'll get me going. Thanks for your reply.

Not too much trouble, really, once you figure out what to do. I'll reply to my original post asking for help on that card (which got no replies).

I'm trying to compile support for a wireless router into FBSD 7

vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM43XNG 802.11n Network Adapter'
class = network
When it boots in the machine which has the card (I compiled
on another computer) it blows out with a kernel error (writing
not a non-existent page, I think) when the device shows up.
It shows as device bge0 but identified as BCM 5701 (iirc).
Can someone point me in the right direction? Has anyone
gotten this card to work?
With help from the List I got this to work:
The answer, maybe not the BEST answer, but the answer that
works, is to use the Windows XP driver and FBSD's 'ndis'. My
goal was to build a FBSD router with wireless access to my COTS
wireless router to provide network access in another part of the house.
Get the driver files (.sys .inf) either from the CD that came with
the card or from the Buffalo web site:
http://www.buffalotech.com/support/downloads/
Then, per instructions from the Handbook (11.8.2)
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html
run 'ndisgen' on the driver files:
# ndisgen netg300n.inf cbg300n.sys
A .ko file will be generated: cbg300n_sys.ko. It can be loaded
using 'kldload ./cbg300n_sys.ko' but I wanted it loaded at boot.
So, as 11.8.2 says, copy this file to /boot/modules and add the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:
cbg300n_sys_load=YES
Also, as I wanted WPA encryption, I added two other lines to
loader.conf:
wlan_ccmp_load=YES
wlan_tkip_load=YES
The wireless setup instructions are in the handbook section 29;
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
Then in /etc/rc.conf add this:
ifconfig_ndis0=WPA DHCP
The device 'ndis0' is created by the ndis driver when it handles a
Windows driver. I guess if you have more than one Windows
device and driver you get to sort out the various ndis0/1/2/3/4/5/etc.
If you don't want WPA just use DHCP and you don't need the
two extra lines above in loader.conf.
For WPA you need to create the WPA config file:
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid=your wireless network name
psk=your personal access key
}
Somehow, it all magically started working. (No doubt due to the
hard work of many FBSD coders.)
I hope I didn't leave out any major part. I'm posting this not only
so other can benefit if they run into a similar problem, but in case
this box burns (HD fails) I'll have a record of what I did to recreate
it. g
Thank you again to those that helped.

Re: Problem with USB ulpt0 and CUPS
On Wed, Jun 18, 2003 at 08:39:12AM -0500, Thomas T. Veldhouse wrote: I posted this in April and received no response. However, this has been an ongoing issue since at least 2001 (where I found the first reference to this trouble via Google). The problem seems to be that the FreeBSD USB LPT driver (even with no-reset) is somehow dropping the first bits of the data stream, causing a page full of trash to be printed prior to the actual print job. I have no verified this problem with 5.1-RELEASE as well. I have a machine that has been serving as a print server. That machine was running CUPS and SAMBA over Linux. Now, it is running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p7 with CUPS and SAMBA. I have a Lexmark Optra 312 laser printer hooked up to the usb port, ulpt0 (no reset). When it was running linux, everything ran perfectly. I allow the Windows client machines to use their print drivers and send a raw stream through samba to cups for printing. This configuration has worked fine. However, for reasons of my own, I have put FreeBSD 5.0 on this machine. The same software configuration exists for printing. Now, when I print most pages, I get an extra page prefixing the job with two or three lines of printer commands (i.e. resolution = 600, @PCL, etc). This seems to be caused by the FreeBSD usb printer driver dropping a couple of characters at the beginning of the command stream. This used to happen to me with FreeBSD 4.6 as well, which is why that machine was running Linux in the first place. Has anybody seen this strange behavior and is there a known fix for it? I can reproduce it localy with -current, but have no fix. I thought that I had found the reason a few days ago, but murphy teached me better :( There is a bug in signal handling, but that's not our problem here. -- B.Walter BWCThttp://www.bwct.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Xen timeline for 6.x
Hi all, I've been wondering about the status of Xen support and its possible inclusion in the 6.x branch. Originally it was mentioned in the FreeBSD status reports that full (domU and dom0) Xen support for the FreeBSD kernel would be merged in before 6.1-RELEASE. But I have also read on fsmware.com that there were problems in integrating some subsystems which could delay these plans. It looks like it's now too late to still introduce this before 6.1-RELEASE. Is there an updated timeline known about Xen in the 6.x tree? Kind regards, walter -- My eyes! The goggles!

Kernel forces machdep.hlt_cpus, how to change?
Hello all, I'm testing out FreeBSD 6.0R on a Dual Xeon. I want to do some benchmarking of hyperthreading before I put this machine into use, so I am trying to turn off the HLTing of logical cpu's. A stock SMP kernel without any options gives the following sysctl's on this machine: machdep.hlt_cpus: 10 machdep.hlt_logical_cpus: 0 machdep.logical_cpus_mask: 10 So even though I have hlt_logical_cpus at 0, the kernel seems to have decided to HLT my cpu's 8 and 2, the 'logical' threads on each Xeon I assume. I've tried to get around this by setting the following: test# cat /boot/loader.conf machdep.hlt_cpus=0 machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 But still after booting I get the same result with the cpu's HLTed. I'm not sure if using them for user processes actually helps, but I'd like to experiment with the setting. Any ideas how I should accomplish this? Cheers!
