 Good day.

 Please help. I have a motherboard that  has a SATA

 also have to configure RAID1 in FreeBSD so that it
 automatically mirrors what is in the first disk or my
 hardware RAID is enough?

With all RAID, you either do software or hardware. Since your drive controller 
supports RAID, the array will look like any other disk to FBSD. You just 
treat it like another hard drive. 
One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of onboard SATA controllers that 
support RAID actually do so through their driver. Meaning its not really 
hardware RAID. If the SATA controller only shows that it supports Windows, 
then it is very likely not truly performing hardware RAID, and won't do 
anything for FBSD. 
If thats the case, then you can use FBSD to create a stripe. You pretty much 
just add a kernel device, and do some simple config work. There is a good 
howto for that on the FBSD handbook site.

Re: Sporadical NFS errors with NetApp backend (solved)

2005-07-11 Thread Lars Köller
--

Hello,

alas I get not response to my question, but some more googling and 
testing leads to a solution.

With the following mount options all runs well:

  tcp,rw,bg,dumbtimer,-r=32768,-w=32768

the most important thing is to not use any of the following

  intr or soft

it seems (only idea and wild speculation), that with even the intr 
mount option some IO ops are interrupted, so that I see the reported 
errors below.

Perhaps the problem are a signal send to a thread???

Regards

Lars

FreeBSD 5 - What Options for SMP Kernel?

2005-07-11 Thread Drew Tomlinson
I just built my first 5.4-RELEASE system.  I want a SMP kernel.  The 
GENERIC kernel conf file contains this line:


device  apic# I/O apic

According to NOTES, this is all that's required to build an SMP kernel.  
However my dmesg does not indicate that both processors are being used.  
In version 4, these two lines were required:


optionsSMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
optionsAPIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O

I've searched Google but haven't found any definitive answers.  Exactly 
what lines do I need in my kernel conf and how can I verify both 
processors are being used?


Thanks,

Drew

If you look in the usual place /usr/src/sys/i386/conf you will see a
SMP file that includes the option SMP for the default SMP enabled
GENERIC kernel. It would make sense to put that option along with apic
in your custom SMP kernel.

To verify after rebooting do a 'dmesg |grep CPU' and it should show
something along the lines of:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (3056.82-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs

Aironet 32-bit CardBus Adapter not attached

2005-07-11 Thread Grigory Klyuchnikov

Hello,

I have Cisco Aironet 32-bit CardBus Adaptor AIR-CB21AG-A-K9.
When I attach it to the notebook with FreeBSD 5.4, the following
message appears on the console:

kernel: cardbus0: network, ethernet at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

The kernel config has options:

# PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support
device  cbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge
device  pccard  # PC Card (16-bit) bus
device  cardbus # CardBus (32-bit) bus
...

# Wireless NIC cards
device  wlan# 802.11 support
device  an  # Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless NIC
device  awi # BayStack 660 and others
device  wi  # WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 


Does it means, that FreeBSD has not support of Aironet 32-bit cardbus adapter? 
And what can I resolve the problem? Maybe anyone has any experience with such 
adapter... Please, tell me any points to docs or
some examples...

Thanks.

PS: But Aironet 16-bit pccard works OK.

Re: Connecting IPSec from Behind a gateway

As far as I know it's not possible to make IPSec when you use NAT, as IP 
address is used with crypto.
But you can make PPP or PPTP tunel between those two hosts and use IPSec 
between addresses in the tunel.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] resending ancient mail to lists

For more than about a month now, I keep seeing ancient messages to
several FreeBSD mailing lists resent from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think something is wrong with [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s mail system...

Perhaps a temporary block on mail via [EMAIL PROTECTED] could stop this ?

are no full headers in the system there.

For some damn reason my Clock in KDE reads the correct time but yet my system

rdate and other programs and not one of them manages to fix the time, i even

You can change the timezone with 'tzsetup' and time and date with the 
'date' command, see manpage for more information.


The time and date shown by 'uname -a' is the time where the kernel was 
built. It's a fixed string in the binary. It won't change unless you 
won't recompile your kernel.

Re: device.hints question

George Fazio [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I was installing apcupsd with an APC USB UPS, and found that I needed
 to disable the uhid driver. The instructions on the apcupsd site
 specifically say to recompile the kernel. But, I try to keep my kernel
 as generic as possible, so I tried entering the following line into
 the device.hints file.
 
 hint.uhid.0.disabled=1
 
 This did not work, and I'm not sure if it's a syntax issue on my part,
 or if disabling this driver via device.hints is just not supported. I
 did a web search for information on device.hints and uhid, but did not
 find anything specific. Recompiling with a custom kernconf worked, and
 everything is up and running.. But, I'm interested in a little bit of
 background on why the device hint did not work. If anyone has a quick
 answer great. Like I said, everything is working, so it's not like I
 need an answer. But, I'm still fairly new to Unix and FreeBSD, and
 trying to learn the why behind how things work. So, any information
 would be helpful.

The hints aren't generated automatically, so there's no reason to
think a module disable would be in place unless someone found it
useful.  If you find it useful, then feel free to write the code and
submit it.

Gnome upgrade killed mouse

2005-07-11 Thread Paul Schmehl
I ran the gnome_upgrade.sh script and now my mouse doesn't.  Even if I run 
Xorg -configure and start X with the generated xorg.conf.new file, the 
mouse doesn't work.


I can see the mouse being detected in the dmesg.boot, so it appears to be a 
problem with Xorg rather than device detection.  Any suggestions would be 
welcomed, since my desktop is essentially useless at this point.  (I'm 
sending this from my Winbloze laptop.)


One other question.  After running the gnome_upgrade.sh script, when I run 
portupgrade there are updates to gnome and lots of gstreamer plugin stuff. 
Is it safe to run those through portupgrade?  Or do I need to run the 
gnome_upgrade.sh script again?

Internal vs. External domains and e-mail

2005-07-11 Thread DH
Hello;

We are going to migrate to an Interal Windows 2003 AD
structure which will also entail changing our Internal
DNS to a non-routeable domain.

Currently we are using qmail  qmail-scanner to relay
mail to an Internal Exchange Server.

 mydomain.com
  |  
|---|
I-Net - FBSD4.11/qmail/qmail-scanner - MS Exchange

I am looking for a way to rewrite the From header on
mail originating from the Exchange box to change the
non-routeable domain name to that of our External
domain.   

   mydomain.com
newdomain.local
|  |
I-Net - FBSD4.11/qmail/qmail-scanner - MS Exchange

Any mail originating from the Exchange Server and
going to the I-Net should have its From header
rewritten:

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've seen a number of postings at various sites (
qmail.org etc) and very little in the way of answers
vis a vie qmail.  If anyone has experience with this
problem I'd sure appriciate some guidance.  

If I have to migrate to another e-mail packack such as
ProcMail I'm willing to do so but would rather not ( a
lot of effort spent on my qmail-attachments.txt file
).

Thank you for  your time - Please CC any response to
my address - I am not a member of this group.

Firefox won't start (again!)

2005-07-11 Thread cpghost
On a RELENG_5 system from June 30th (source and ports),
firefox-1.0.4 won't start. It just hangs in the kserel state.
This is on a diskless system using NFS.

Running truss(1) on the hanging firefox-bin process shows:

kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 383 (0x17f)
kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 0 (0x0)
kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 383 (0x17f)
kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 383 (0x17f)

kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 383 (0x17f)
kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 383 (0x17f)
kse_release(0x8065fa4) = 0 (0x0)
...

When starting, firefox generates a GNOME Warning:

Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in

But thunderbird does the same, though it doesn't hang.

/etc/libmap.conf is empty.

Any idea?

The odds are that you will need to install /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 and do a 
use.perl port in order to build many perl modules, since they expect a 
newer version of perl than what you seem to have.  Look at 
/usr/ports/CHANGES for more help and suggestions on how to upgrade perl and 
dependant perl ports in a reasonable fashion.
   



Just for the record I too am getting the same error when attempting to
update p5-DBD-mysql.  Everything went well with the last perl upgrade
(including the use of the perl-after-upgrade script) and I am using the
5.8 version.

This would not really be practical, I have several servers that may need

assuming I can find a card that will fit within the case.

Mouse problem solved???

2005-07-11 Thread Paul Schmehl
I've solved my mouse problem.  I had to enable the mouse in /etc/rc.conf 
to get it to work.  I did not have to do this before I updated gnome, so I 
assume something changed to make it a requirement now?


I still need to know if it's OK to use portupgrade to upgrade gnome-related 
ports after upgrading to gnome2.10 using gnome_upgrade.sh.


Anybody know the answer to that?

two 3C905B's in 5.4

2005-07-11 Thread dave
Hello,
I've got a 5.4 box that's going to be a router. It has two 3C905B cards
in it and i'm having a blank fill it in as you wish, of a time getting the
cards working. Neither card likes dhcp, sometimes i'll start dhclient and
the cards will work, sometimes they won't. If i give the -v option to
dhclient i get the message network is unreachable, see readme about
broadcast address. I know this isn't a cable modem issue or a cable, because
i plugged in an old 3c509 isa card and it worked the first time, this fix
isn't practical for this setup. An ifconfig check shows both 905's in
autonegociation mode 100-mbit tx, i'm wondering if i should manually set
them to something, but am unsure as to what. One card one time gave me the
waiting to transmit error message as mentioned in the man page and it took a
reboot to fix it. I've checked the bios on this box and it's pnp os option
is off. Any help appreciated. If more information is needed ask, i will send
it.
Thanks.

Either configure DNS for that machine or set 'visible_hostname' in

GEOM_STRIPE Problems on Reboot

2005-07-11 Thread Drew Tomlinson
I just installed 5.4-RELEASE.  I created a gstripe volume per the 
example in the man page.  Googling revealed that I needed to load the 
geom_stripe module upon reboot so the volume can be created.  I added 
the following line to /boot/loader.conf:


geom_stripe_load=yes

Now upon reboot, I get this output:

Then the machine comes up in single user mode.  At this point if I 
unload and reload geom_stripe, then the volume is created just fine and 
I can boot the system in full production mode.  Any ideas on why I'm 
seeing this behavior?  How can I fix it so that my machine reboots 
without incident?


Thanks,

Geom and 5.4

2005-07-11 Thread David Dooley
Hi,

I hope somebody can guide me as to where I have gone wrong.

I have an Intel system with FreeBSD 5.3 installed. I have 1 system disk
and 8 other drives connected to 2 Promice IDE controllers. The system disk
is un-mirrored. The non-system disk are labled ad4 thru ad11. ad4 thru ad7
on controller 1 and ad8 thru ad11 on contoller 2. I have mirrored between
controllers

ad4 mirroed with ad8
ad5  ''  ad9
ad6  ''  ad10
ad7  ''  ad11

I was having lots and lots of stability problems from the disk subsystems
and was advised in an answer to a previous question to go to 5.4, so...

I downloded the CD ISO images of FreeBSD 5. I did a completly new install
of 5.4 on the system disk. When I ran the gmirror load to my shock and
delight all the geom drives were recognised and made available. after a
little time resyncing the mirrors all was working fine. Yah.

The document I used to set up the GEOM stuff can be found at
http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ I used the second set of
instructions, obviously I did not do it on the system partions but pretty
much massaged it to what I wanted to do on all my other disks.

So like a prat that can't leave well alone I decided to set up a local
copy of the source and rebuild the world and the kernel. This was done,
and all appeard to work fine. Builds completed with out errors and the
installed happend. I did a mergemaster and at this point I blated a
locally edited copy of /boot/loader.conf and removed the
'geom_mirror_load=YES' directive, I didn't notice at the time, and went
ahead and did the reboot. The system started, but failed to complete when
it came to the fsck of the disk as mentioned in /etc/fstab.

Looked around and found that I had lost the directive from the loader.conf
as detailed in the document mentiond above, so put it back in and went for
a reboot.

This time the system booted and the geom drives were all attached and the
system then did it's 15 second wait for the SCSI stuff to settle, then
disaster. The system complained with the follwoing message

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6

Manual root filesystem specification:
  fstype:device  Mount device using filesystem fstype
   eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
  ?  List valid disk boot devices
  empty line   Abort manual input

mountroot

but any thing I type results in a error and the Manual root filesystem
specification being reprinted. Now I can take the geom_mirror_load load
directive out of the the loader.conf and the have the boot fail as it
cannot fsck the geom disk and then I cna do a manual load of the
geom_mirror, fsck the disk and do a control-D to finish the boot. This is
fine but a little messy and not very automatic in the event of a system
boot.

Can anyone sudjest a suitable work rounf that it more automatic or a way
to fix the problem permenantly.

I was thinking of creating a single disk geom'ed root disk, but I cannot
find an incantation to mirror the root disk partitons while preserving the
data on them.

Any assistance would be most apreciated.

Regards

David Dooley

you may need to set the parameters of the card with a vendor specific

Re: FreeBSD 5 - What Options for SMP Kernel? -- SOLVED

On 7/11/05, Drew Tomlinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 


I just built my first 5.4-RELEASE system.  I want a SMP kernel.  The
GENERIC kernel conf file contains this line:

device  apic# I/O apic

I don't see any mention of this is all that's required ?
 

OK, NOTES doesn't say that explicitly.  But neither does it mention any 
additional option(s) that ARE required which leads one to believe that 
this IS all that's required.



However my dmesg does not indicate that both processors are being used.
In version 4, these two lines were required:

optionsSMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
optionsAPIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O

I've searched Google but haven't found any definitive answers.  Exactly
what lines do I need in my kernel conf and how can I verify both
processors are being used?
   



If you look in the usual place /usr/src/sys/i386/conf you will see a
SMP file that includes the option SMP for the default SMP enabled
GENERIC kernel. It would make sense to put that option along with apic
in your custom SMP kernel.

To verify after rebooting do a 'dmesg |grep CPU' and it should show
something along the lines of:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz (3056.82-MHz 686-class CPU)
 Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs
 


Thanks for the pointer.  I've added the SMP option and all is working.

Cheers,

Drew

(win?)modem

Hey folks!

As a long time user of FreeBSD, I have come to a problem I cannot solve

I have moved to an appartement where I have to rely on a modem for the
time being. DSL is following soon, but until then I have purchased a modem
wich claims to be a hardware modem. The main chip on the device says:

Conexant - bad news?
RHS6D/SP-PCI - google gives no avail...
R6795-11 /
F21824.2 - whatever...
0011  MEXICO \

In Windows XP (wich I installed because FreeBSD didnt detect the darn
thing) the device is recognized as best data data fax modem and working.
It deems the device to be using IRQ 17 and I/O EC00-EC07, but telling this
to device.hints doesnt work (irq out of bitmap). The hardware string
Windows gives me is: PCI\VEN_14F1DEV_1085SUBSYS_108514F1REV_89.

From the looks of it I've come to think this is a software WinModem, but I
do not doubt that this can be just one of the posibilities of the device,
and thus used by Windows (easy road).

Is there any way to get this thing working with FreeBSD (5.4)? Or is this
indeed a dreaded WinModem?

Please help me with this :) And please CC me, as I am not on this list
right now (modem... bandwith...) Thanks!

this file to mp4 is possible, but nothing definitive has turned up.

Is there a port that can convert this file format to mp4?  If so, are
there any special build parameters required?
   



Sorry for the error above.  What I meant was I want to convert from
m4p to m4a format.

I've found the alac decoder, but that puts out either raw pcm or wav
format.

TIA

Any ideas?


This one looks ugly, but works fine:

echo 'this.is.a.filename.with.extension' | awk -F. '{ i = 2; s = $1 } { 
while ( i  NF ) { s = s . $i ;i += 1; } } { print s }'


Don't hesitate to use awk. Although it looks more complex it's often 
faster than any equivalent solution with sed.

g4u and growfs? (Was Make Image of Hard Drive)

Holy noodle, that looks like awesome stuff!

The only limitation would seem to be systems with varying hard disk size.

But then I think. You could set up a system with a smallish /usr/local
as the last slice, then ghost it on to your clients, and have a script
to growfs /usr/local to the end of the disk.

But, I don't know for growfs, and I'm concerned that you'd have to do
some magic to the partition table first.  Maybe someone is already doing
something of similar cleverosity?  (And would care to comment.)

Problem with pw not creating home directories

2005-07-11 Thread Bryce Kahle
I've been setting up a NIS domain between a couple machines and have run
into a problem with pw.
I have the NIS server which also has a large disk array shared via NFS.
It contains a directory /nfs/home where all the NIS user home
directories are supposed to be located.

The problem comes when I am adding a new NIS user and want the home
directory to be created. I run the following command:
pw -V /var/yp useradd joeschmoe -m -Y
NIS Map update started on Mon Jul 11 15:55:55 CDT 2005 for domain
lbnetwork
Updating passwd.byname...
Updating passwd.byuid...
Updating netid.byname...
Updating master.passwd.byname...
Updating master.passwd.byuid...
NIS Map update completed.

The user is added to the NIS passwd file correctly, and make runs
successfully to distribute it to the clients. The problem is that the
home directory supposed to have been created at /nfs/home/joeschmoe is
not created.

I do have a pw.conf located in /var/yp that contains the following:
home /nfs/home
skeleton /usr/share/skel

/var/log/userlog has this:
2005-07-11 15:55:55 [bwkahle:groupadd] joeschmoe(1009)
2005-07-11 15:55:55 [bwkahle:useradd]
joeschmoe(1009):joeschmoe(1009):User :/nfs/home/joeschmoe:/bin/sh
2005-07-11 15:55:55 [bwkahle:useradd] NIS maps updated

I have successfully been able to create home directories when adding a
normal user account, and I do have write permissions to /nfs/home.

Is this a bug in pw, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Bryce Kahle

Forcing a packet through an interface (OT?)

2005-07-11 Thread Mario Lobo
Forgive me if this is off-topic.

How could I force a packet to go out through an interface,
despite the default route?

Suppose I have two interfaces connected to the internet:

1) rl0 (real.ip.no.1) --- ISP x

2) rl1 (real.ip.no.2) --- ISP y

ISP y is just a backup link. ISP x is the working link.
Don´t want to load-balance them.  Use 2) ONLY if 1) is out.

Suppose 1) is down. I switch to 2). But I have to keep testing 1)
to see when it comes back up. How could I force a packet (ping maybe?)
to www.whatever.com through 1), despite the default route being 2) ?

I am aready binding the ping packet to the IP I want but that´s not enough.

any suggestions?

thanks,

I'm not sure it works, but there is a CONFIGURE_ARGS macro in the ports'

RE: (win?)modem

FreeBSD does not work with winmodems.
FreeBSD uses hardware modems only.
That being said: there is the ltmdm port of the Linux lucent
winmodem driver that works with some of the conexant winmodems.
Only thing you can do is install the ltmdm port and see if it
works with your modem.
If not then you will have to purchase a true hardware modem.
I use the zoom external model 3049L modem.

Hey folks!

As a long time user of FreeBSD, I have come to a problem I cannot
solve
alone :) So your help is apreciated...

I have moved to an appartement where I have to rely on a modem for
the
time being. DSL is following soon, but until then I have purchased a
modem
wich claims to be a hardware modem. The main chip on the device
says:

Conexant - bad news?
RHS6D/SP-PCI - google gives no avail...
R6795-11 /
F21824.2 - whatever...
0011  MEXICO \

In Windows XP (wich I installed because FreeBSD didnt detect the
darn
thing) the device is recognized as best data data fax modem and
working.
It deems the device to be using IRQ 17 and I/O EC00-EC07, but
telling this
to device.hints doesnt work (irq out of bitmap). The hardware string
Windows gives me is: PCI\VEN_14F1DEV_1085SUBSYS_108514F1REV_89.

From the looks of it I've come to think this is a software
WinModem, but I
do not doubt that this can be just one of the posibilities of the
device,
and thus used by Windows (easy road).

Is there any way to get this thing working with FreeBSD (5.4)? Or is
this
indeed a dreaded WinModem?

Please help me with this :) And please CC me, as I am not on this
list
right now (modem... bandwith...) Thanks!

Or if you're using port upgrade, look at the example file 
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.  Find the section called MAKE_ARGS (I 
think.  Pretty close to that if I'm wrong), and then specify your 
settings there.  That way any future portupgrade invocations will use 
your defined settings and save you the grief of WTF happened?  :)

Re: dd to unused partition (Hey! someone stole my foot-shooting gun!)

2005-07-11 Thread Lee Harr

dd if=iso of=/dev/ad0s1
dd: /dev/ad0s1: Read-only filesystem



According to URL:http://makeashorterlink.com/?S37C2186B[1]
a workaround might be using

  dd if=/dev/foo of=/dev/ad0 oseek=63




Ah. Ok. That should have been obvious  :oP

What about those first few bytes, though? I think I am not
getting what I need ...

dd if=iso of=/dev/ad0s2 oseek=63
dd if=/dev/ad0s2 of=iso2
truncate -r iso iso2
diff iso iso2
(Binary files iso and iso2 differ)



What I am doing is using a 4.11 system to copy a 5.4 boot iso
to an unused partition, so that I can boot it and install 5.4.

I know it seems roundabout, but it is a very old laptop with
either floppy or cd (not both) and the pccard ethernet iface
which is working fine under 4.11 is not working in the 5.4
installer -- so no network install.

Oh, and the cd drive is not bootable.

So, I want to boot the cd image from the hard drive, and
use the cd drive for the install after it boots.


Anyhow, I used the oseek=63 and copied the iso to ad0s2 ...
but I can't boot it.

boot: 0:ad(0,2,a)/boot/loader
Invalid partition

Of course, I am not really sure how to specify ad0s2 from the
boot: prompt.

Thanks for your help.

this is an DNS problem.  its trying to lookup the address of the host that is 
connecting to it.  you can turn these off in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or ensure that 
you're comning from somewhere that has a valid DNS assocaited and update

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardent :

Ardent was a graphics minicomputer manufacturing company, one of a very
few 3rd parties to base their designs on the MIPS CPU's and the
associated MIPS OS, using additional Intel i860's as graphics
co-processors. The company went through a series of mergers and
re-organizations and changed names several times as their venture
capital funders attempted to find a market niche for their graphics
supercomputers. After a series of machines that were not particularly
successful in the marketplace, they used parts of their design to create
graphics subsystems for other workstations, notably DEC machines, but
eventually shut down completely in February 1995.

we are using a sun v20z, which work's nice with 5.x. it's a rebranded
newisys maschine and serial over lan works like charm.

 If you have any experience with Fibre Channel (e.g. bad drivers,
 bad compatibility) please let us know.

i would recommend a qlogic 2312 card. it's supported by the isp(4)

i did some experimenting with the qlogic cards / freebsd and had

rebuilding the kernel is not necessary. you could do a kldload

Still uable to install DarwinStreamingServer

2005-07-11 Thread steve lasiter
I'm still looking for ANY help on getting Darwin
Streaming Server installed, either via ports or
manually. The port is broke and I've contacted the
port maintainer and have got no reply. I'm also aware
that he/she may be busy and I understand this so I'm
not complaining and never would. My group is trying to
offer streaming video on a FreeBSD machine and this is
the biggest stumbling block we've ran into yet. There
are no good examples of alternate installation
processes on the web for FreeBSD and I'm one of those
people that need a guide or something. I've modified
some of the Install scripts out there after compiling
the Darwin Streaming Server and have been unable to
get them to install successfully. If anyone knows of
anyone who has successfully installed this maybe I can
get a quick down and dirty to follow. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Any idea?

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1338 error_code 9 request_code 150 minor_code 4)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)

The port maintainer updated the port yesterday to use the

your ports, I suspect it will just work.  Apparently 
you weren't the only person to hit the problem...

You have a couple of options.
Look at CARP in 5.4, that might do what you want best.
  man 4 carp

Also google for: ipfw policy routing
that is slightly different, but if you are going tests to see when a
link goes up and down, and can change your firewall rules based on that,
that would work I think.

I don't really know the answer to your question, but are you sure 
the port is still broken? I happened to notice that updates for it 
came down the pipe whilst I was running cvsup on my ports collection 
just yesterday, indicating it was updated in the last week or so.


If I go into that directory and issue a make, I get

Please get DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5-Source.tar from
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/
And, you must accept APSL (Apple Public Source License).
Then, put in /usr/ports/distfiles/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5-Source.tar.


Which you'll see is rather different from your original post.

If you did do a recent cvsup, maybe some combination of make clean 
or portsclean is also required?

Gqview permantly frozen

2005-07-11 Thread Lawrence Petrykanyn

Hi,

   I've recently installed FreeBSD 5.4. and it is working well, except 
for gqview.  It will open in Gnome2, but the only control that responds 
to a mouse click is the X in the upper right hand corner to close it.  
I am unable to navigate the directory tree as simply nothing happens 
when I click on File, View, etc. or any of the icons.  I was able to use 
it fine in 5.3, but have done a clean install of 5.4 since.


   It is version gview-2.0.1 and I installed it using the ports 
collection.  I have tried deinstalling and reinstalling gqview, 
upgrading all of my ports, cvsupping all my source files and ports 
several times.  I have no error messages or logs to supply to you as 
none were created.  The program just doesn't respond to the mouse or hot 
key commands.  Everything else in Gnome2 (such as Abiword, Gnumeric, 
Evolution, Gimp) work fine.
   
   I have tried to use google to find out how to proceed from here, but 
have found nothing.  Any advice, suggestions or comments would be 
greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance,
Lawrence

Installing 5.4 on Compaq Armada E500

2005-07-11 Thread Duarte, Ivo
Hi,

I've been unable to install using the boot cd.

I can boot with no difficulties but the installation won't proceed from the
CD. It tells me it can't find a CD.

I've tried creating and format a small C: partion and tried to tell it to
use a DOS partion, same issue.

I've tried boot floppies and was unable to access the CD.

Any clues as to how I can proceed without resorting to floppies.

Thanks.

PS. I've read the FAQ. I have no control over who is master/slave etc...

ISP y is just a backup link. ISP x is the working link.

I am aready binding the ping packet to the IP I want but that?s not  
enough.



If #1 still has an address associated with it, ping something in that  
same subnet -- like the ISPs router -- that should force the packet  
out #1
