amulecmd is openning adialog ?
Hello all. I have installed amule-devel 2.0.0.rc7 in my FreeBSD 5.3- I use to connect remmotely through SSH and I want to use amulecmd command to inspect my aMule jobs. I currently have the following problem I'd like somebody help me to solve: When I execute amulecmd within my putty session it fails running: (amulecmd:883): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Is this behaviour right (I mean why should it open a display) ? If not, how can I run amule in a pure text and command line based interface?

Geometry and Mirror
I just do not get this. I have read the manual and Im still in the fog I used to install FreeBSD and when it came to fdisk, I have ignored the following warning: WARNING: A gemotry of 310101/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect, using a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or you are unsure as to wheteher or not it is correct please consult the Hardware Guide int the doc submenu or use the (G)eom command to change it now It was no problem at all, since when I have started to use raid mirror with g(eom)mirror. The problem came when after reboot the system recognized different C/H/S values for the identical disks. According to dmesg it was either 310098/16/63, or sometimes: 310101/16/63 The BIOS setting was autodetect for both drives. And gmirror complained, that one drive is smaller then the other, so the mirror has been destroyed ... I thought I should dig this up, since its realy uneasy situation. The fdisk warning advises to read the Hardware Guide in the doc submenu, though this section doesn't have a word about geometry. The Handbook Allocating Disk Space chapter says: FreeBSD does not use the BIOS, and does not know the ``logical BIOS drive mapping''. This can lead to very perplexing situations, especially when drives are physically identical in geometry, and have also been made as data clones of one another. When using FreeBSD, always restore the BIOS to natural drive numbering before installing FreeBSD, and then leave it that way. If you need to switch drives around, then do so, but do it the hard way, and open the case and move the jumpers and cables. Peplexing situations ... and realy Sysinstal/fdisk says Remember: you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! Ok, bios can think 3 things: 65535/16/255 CHS 4095/240/255 Large 16643/255/63 LBA If I say CHS or Large values at the geom prompt, I receive the same message: WARNING: A gemotry of xxx/xxx/xxx is incorrect. Only the LBA values are accepted, though 16643/255/63 results 130551 Mb, which is much lower than 152625 Mb with the propused 19457/255/63 values by fdisk. I thought I accept the values 19457/255/63, and it stores this somewhere, though on next sysinstall it still complains about this. So what mode (CHS,LBA,Large) should I set in the BIOS (autodetect seems to be riksy ...) ? What geometry should I use in sysinstall/fdisk ? Will this geometry warning always come ? Will dmesg output ever display a correct value instead of 310098/16/63 ? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

re: bash- superuser
(sorry if I cocked up your threading, readers - I accidentally deleted Gregs mail and so pasted this from google groups). There are a couple of reasons why this shouldn't happen: 1. You don't normally start networking until you have mounted your local file systems. 2. The problem is related to the invocation of su(1). It's not clear why that's there. Still, it shows that there are issues. It may be sufficient to document them. People who follow the advice in The Complete FreeBSD won't run into this problem, since they won't install a separate /usr file system. I thought the issue was the ldconfig path not being set up at the point that pppd called su? pppd lives in /usr, after all :) Assuming that's wrong, doesn't freebsd have a notion of 'critical filesystems' and and 'pre-networking filesystems' a la NetBSD? I used to have to set this on netbsd to get wicontrol from /usr before dhcp and would be a non-issue if you statically linked bash (I can't think of any reason to want a dynamically linked one). One reason is that bash pulls in a lot of libraries. That's why we used dynamic libraries in the first place. That's a bit of a circular argument, isn't it? :) People Who Know have advised me in the past that the VM system performs better if you statically link common binaries - you get better reuse of memory. -- 'The pie is ready.

'portsdb -Uu' vs 'make fetchindex' vs 'make index'
I am not sure if I quite understand this entire ports updating scenario correctly. I I run the command: 'cvsup ports-supfile', I then need to run either 'portsdb -Uu' or 'make index'. I also have the option of running 'make fetchindex' in place of either of those two proceeding commands. Is that correct? I would assume, that I should run the 'make fetchindex' command immediately after running the 'cvsup' command. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a better way to accomplish this feat? Thanks!

You can always install a local DNS server that allows 'internal' machines to use their own domain (only visible to internal hosts) but forwards all other requests to your ISPs name servers.

As for using Sendmail as the MTA just so Mutt can pass off email to an SMTP server, I've tried configuring it for weeks now, and I'm still not there. You have to solve the DNS problems first.

I knocked together some simple scripts to monitor some appservers (disk,cpu,process count etc) but they get unwieldy very quickly - just a few boxes and it started to get out of hand. If you're going to be doing any gathering/graphing for this kind of thing, have a look at cricket (ports/net-mgmt/cricket) - it makes using RRD a breeze (though I would still read the tutorial at least, it does help to have a rough understanding of the backend). Favours SNMP, but you can use any script you like easily enough (I have a ruby-ldap based version that pulls stats directly from openldap, and it took an hour to get it graphing). -- 'In the beginning the Universe was created.

Armada 17xx, ACPI thermal management broken.
Hello, I have a Compaq Armada 1750 laptop and ACPI is some what broken. If I enable ACPI the fan will never run causing the system to overheat and shutdown, there are a few other problems with ACPI but this is the major one. This is a standard 440BX/MX chipset (82443BX) so I don't understand why this doesn't work yet with FreeBSD, Is this a problem with my DSDT/AML/ASL whatever? The work around in the bug report I submitted ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/72566 ) does not work if the system is below the hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx threshold, if it is below this threshold at system boot the fan will NEVER turn on even if hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active=1 is set in loader.conf. Any help would be appreciated on ether fixing this problem or a way to use ACPI but disable the thermal monitoring so the system can control the fan? Also... in the bug report there is a link to a Linux kernel patch that fixes this problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Remote system directories

I want to make use of nfs and let the small box mount most of its directories in read-write mode from the server. What directories are safe to be moved to a remote location? The idea is that should the server go down, the box must still be bootable and accessible via ssh. I've read hier manual page, but it doesn't go deep into how bad the system need each directory at startup - and how heavy access is to each folder during normal operation. Can the system boot into multi-user mode in case /usr fails to mount? No I'm now experimenting with different subfolders of /usr and other dirs, and I'd be glad to hear a piece of advice. If I were you I would do a minimal (though complete) installation of FreeBSD on the client machine. Enable sshd and put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to nfs-mount whatever you need from the server. (remember, you can easily mount over an existing directory hierarchy, thereby hiding the original files) Something like: #!/bin/sh # # check if nfs-server is up /usr/bin/showmount -e nfs-server if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then # mount nfs shares /sbin/mount -t nfs nfs-server:/export/usr /usr # etc fi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD doesn't even boot!

You might want to consider installing a standard MBR during the installation (so not the FreeBSD bootloader). Then only FreeBSD will boot if you have selected the drive as the primary drive in the bios (assuming you have two disks). If you need your machine badly but can't boot Windows yet? Just select the other drive in the bios and you're ready to go :) I've now tried both the standard MBR and the FreeBSD bootloader. Both cause my computer to reboot in an infinite loop.

As for me, it's because my box is in a LAN with a router using a dynamic IP, so I can't get a fully-qualified domain name. You can always install a local DNS server that allows 'internal' machines to use their own domain (only visible to internal hosts) but forwards all other requests to your ISPs name servers. This also causes some minor issues with fbsd, but not so much that I can't work with it. As for using Sendmail as the MTA just so Mutt can pass off email to an SMTP server, I've tried configuring it for weeks now, and I'm still not there. You have to solve the DNS problems first. Sendmail, like all MTAs I've seen, depends on a working DNS setup. Yes, I began to realize this somewhere along the line. However, I've managed to get Mutt working with esmtp for now, although Sendmail is still the MTA for the system internally. This is not an ideal solution for me, as I mentioned I want to learn how to do this the right way. But just at the moment I'm not quite ready to tackle DNS (which I'm sure is easy for those who know it, but which is almost as confusing as MTAs for those of us who don't). I already have a machine in my LAN set up to use for it when the time comes, so it will happen soon enough. I may end up using esmtp if it can save some headaches, although I purposely tried to get Sendmail to work so that I could do it the right way. Well, I still want to learn, but it's one of the most confusing and frustrating experiences I've ever had dealing with software, and I'm not alone in this. This list is frequented by many knowledgeable people who can help you with setting up Sendmail on FreeBSD. You may be pointed at README files like `/usr/share/sendmail/cf/README' from time to time, but it never hurts to ask :-) That's very true, and I appreciate this, but at the same time, at this moment I'm going to wait on configuring local DNS. I've managed to learn quite a bit about FreeBSD since I started using it that sounded completely confusing at first, but at the moment I'm dealing with starting back to college after many years and finding a new job, among other things, so it's not my first priority. But I'll be sure to bring it up when that moment comes, which shouldn't be too long. Oh, just you wait ... ;) *That's* why people fear real MTAs so much, because mail transfer protocols and software at the low level is very complicated and extremely finicky in ways that aren't documented clearly. I see. You do have a point there :/ Yes, for instance, it took me a long time to figure out what's up with dnl. I've read through quite a bit at the Sendmail site itself, and, while their documentation is quite thorough, it's also obviously written for developers, moreso than most *nix docs. This is understandable, but there is a steep learning curve for those of us who aren't. Even the handbook recommends installing ssmtp for situations like mine http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/outgoing-only.html but I want to learn all the tools.

apparent change in php4 port build procedure...
I'm upgrading to mod_php4-4.3.10
In the past, the make procedure presented me with a detailed
menu of options. Now, it appears to just ask me these questions 3:
- apache 1 vs 2
- debug
- ipv6
and not all the other stuff like mysql, imap, and so forth.
I can easily add the configure args I want to /usr/ports/lang/php4/Makefile,
like
this:
--with-mysql=/usr/local \
--with-layout=GNU \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=${PREFIX}/etc/php \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr \
--with-regex=php \
--enable-ftp \
But I liked the old menu system, as it saved me figuring out
the configure args. Was there a reason to move away from that,
or is there a new mechanism I am not aware of ?

I I run the command: 'cvsup ports-supfile', I then need to run either 'portsdb -Uu' or 'make index'. I also have the option of running 'make fetchindex' in place of either of those two proceeding commands. Is that correct? Yes, basically. Running portsdb -U will make an index. If you run portsdb -Uu you don't have to make index as an additional step. Additionally, portsdb -u will automatically be run when it needs to be run, but you can run it manually as well. One of the fastest ways to update your tree and index is to cvsup, then cd /usr/ports make fetchindex. You can run portsdb -u if you want, but you don't have to. It might help catch dependency problems if you do, however. I would assume, that I should run the 'make fetchindex' command immediately after running the 'cvsup' command. Yes, you can do that, as I mentioned above. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a better way to accomplish this feat? Test out different ways of updating, to find out which ones you want to use - for instance you can also use sysutils/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex - and then write scripts to accomplish it, and/or set it up as a cron job. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AUTHOR: ale at FreeBSD.org
The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been split
into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow
more flexibility and add new features.
Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a
'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and
devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions
to install can be choosen via the meta-ports
lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing
singular extensions individually.
The syntax may not be verbatim, as I pulled the snippet
from another posting, but there lies your answer ;)

USB flash drive support/usage
Hello:
I have some questions about the little USB flash drives...
Is there a FAQ or some documentation on them? So far I haven't
found much in the Handbook or manpages. Pointers welcome. :)
Do I need any driver(s) besides umass(4) its required kernel options?
Any differences between 4.x and 5.x support for them?
Apparently they come setup for a FAT32 filesystem - can I format
them for other filesystems (e.g. linux-ext2, BSD UFS/UFS2, MS
NTFS) expect them to work reliably?
Assuming they work (well) with FreeBSD, how do I properly set
them up for UFS/UFS2? Do I need to fdisk and {disk,bsd}label first?
Any favorite/least-favorite brands/models or recommendations as
to which one(s) to seek/avoid for use with FreeBSD?

Problem with chroot, uid's and quota
I have installed openssh-portable with the chroot option enabled. Users can login and execute the commands I supplied in their chroot'ed home directory. I included an /etc/fstab file for the quota enabled devices and hard linked the quota.user file to the base direcotry of the chroot. In addidtion I copied the entries for the root and chroot'ed user as well as the relevant groups to /etc/passwd and /etc/group in the chroot directory. So far so good. If I login as the chrooted user and type the command quota by itself I get the correct values returned: $ quota Disk quotas for user (no account) (uid 1003): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace / 8 512000 563200 4 0 0 However, when executing the quota command with the user name appended I get: $ quota myuser quota: myuser: unknown user Similar with ls: $ ls -al total 96 drwxr-xr-x8 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:41 . drwxr-xr-x8 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:41 .. dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:53 bin drwxr-xr-x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:42 dev dr-xr-xr-x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:54 etc drwxr-xr-x4 1003 mygroup 512 Dec 21 16:47 home dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:47 lib dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:47 libexec -rw-r-3 0operator 2097120 Dec 21 17:44 quota.user Somehow the gid's can get mapped to names but the uid's can't.

I haven't done any checking, but I'm sure there is *something* in the
Handbook about them.
Do I need any driver(s) besides umass(4) its required kernel options?
In my experience, any drive that works in Windows (2000 or XP) without
needing special drivers will work in FreeBSD. I can't say that
definitively, of course, but it has been my experience.
Any differences between 4.x and 5.x support for them?
5.x has better USB support overall, but I think there was talk about
putting effort into porting this back to 4.x. I'd suggest starting with
5.x to begin with, since it represents the next generation of the
FreeBSD system.
Apparently they come setup for a FAT32 filesystem - can I format
them for other filesystems (e.g. linux-ext2, BSD UFS/UFS2, MS

I've never tried this - why change something when it is working just fine?

Mozilla otoh, initiating the smtp connection by itself, will let you retry, or save it to a Drafts folder. With mutt, your mail is probably gone. I just wanted to follow up on this. What actually happens in this case is that the email is saved in the postponed folder (if it's defined). It can be recalled and re-sent fairly simply, much like the behavior in most MUAs - Mutt will even prompt you to send it if you forget.

Anyone use cplay? I have a question
First off, this program is kick-ass, everything I was looking for, simplicity and minimalism at its best. The basic commands took me 10 minutes to master, it plays everything including mp3 streams / mp3 stream playlists, has a file manager style music browser (In windows I used explorer to manage my well organized music collection), enqueue functions (used the Winamp explorer shell extension of the same name 90% of the time), and I can use it at the console. also only needs Python for it to work. For those not in the know, cplay is a curses front-end for various audio players http://www.tf.hut.fi/~flu/cplay/ in ports under audio/cplay Alright... to my questions (posting them here, an Cc'ing the guy in the ports Makefile and the author, because cplay is /insanely underground/ and I can't find any user support, docs, etc): 1. How do I get gnome's launcher to play with multiple commands? what I want it to do is change to the base directory of my music library and then launch cplay, I tried all different ways but nothing worked, I ended up just making a two line batch script and launching that, also what I would like to do is launch cplay with a negative nice (cd ~/library/Audio nice -5 cplay) but being a normal user account you cannot do this, how do I handle that (SUDO? I've never used it, unless it's the same thing as su?). Segway... The man page for nice is misleading, it says to use nice -n num# command but we all know that won't work nice: Badly formed number. it should say nice -/+num# command, anyways thats real nice nice :-) 2. When I first installed and used cplay I only had mpg123 install and It refused to play some songs for no reason at all (I could play them at the command line with mpg123) so I installed most all the players that cplay can use and copy'd over the default .cplayrc file to my home dir. this fixed the problem but left me wondering if I need all those players installed... So how does cplay/.cplayrc work, does It find the first compatible player for the file type and only use it OR does it pick the first player it finds for that file type and if it doesn't work it moves on to the next compatible player? here is my .cplayrc file: PLAYERS = [ FrameOffsetPlayer(ogg123 -q -v -k %d %s, \.ogg$), FrameOffsetPlayer(splay -f -k %d %s, (^http://|\.mp[123]$), 38.28), FrameOffsetPlayer(mpg123 -q -v -k %d %s, (^http://|\.mp[123]$), 38.28), FrameOffsetPlayer(mpg321 -q -v -k %d %s, (^http://|\.mp[123]$), 38.28), TimeOffsetPlayer(madplay -v --no-tty-control --display-time=remaining -s %d %s, \.mp[123]$), NoOffsetPlayer(mikmod -q -p0 %s, \.(mod|xm|fm|s3m|med|col|669|it|mtm)$),NoOffsetPlayer(xmp -q %s, \.(mod|xm|fm|s3m|med|col|669|it|mtm|stm)$), NoOffsetPlayer(play %s, \.(aiff|au|cdr|mp3|ogg|wav)$), NoOffsetPlayer(speexdec %s, \.spx$) ] My installed players are: splay mpg123 mpg321 mikmod 3. Is there a way to launch cplay from my web browser (firefox) when I click on a mp3 stream to listen too, I only briefly looked into this so it my be a very basic question. currently I just save the .pls files to ~/library/Audio/Netradio and then just queue them up with cplay.

Plesk FreeBSD
Hi, Anyone have experience running Plesk 7.1.x with FreeBSD? Since it looks like they are not supporting this line anymore I wish to upgrade PHP and am trying to figure out how they have PHP configured. So I would like to know if anyone has configured PHP (4.3.10 is what I wish to install) under Plesk 7.1.x and FreeBSD 4.9 (although I would guess it's the same configuration for 5.x). Or is there a way for me to get FreeBSD to tell me how 4.3.9 was configured?
