Am I wrong in considering the FDP generated documentation as being in that category, not terribly uselful outside the FreeBSD project. I believe you are wrong, or I misunderstand the question. I haven't used XML DocBook, but I've used DocBook with DSSSL. I assume what you are really asking is not whether the FreeBSD extensions to the DocBook markup language are a problem (they aren't), but whether the stylesheets used by FreeBSD are compatible with those on other systems. They are (or they claim to be, as I said I haven't actually used the XML/XSL tools yet). To clarify: the real issue for me, and probably what you are really referring to, is that the output format is not defined by the DocBook markup, but by the stylesheets (or equivalent) in the tool set used to produce the output. That's both the advantage and disadvantage of Docbook (and SGML in general). If you want strict control of the output format, then you run into the problem of a standard stylesheet format so you can also distribute your stylesheets along with your marked up documents. DSSSL stylesheets are an incredible pain to modify, and I sympathize with your desire to avoid them. XSL stylesheets are becoming a widely accepted standard, so that's the way to go, and since they are pretty much a standard, the details of what tools you use to do your document rendering shouldn't matter. If you need to modify the standard XSL stylesheets to meet your needs, just distribute the modified stylesheets along with your marked up documents and that should allow the person at the other end to duplicate your output. The FreeBSD XML DocBook tool set claims to use XSL stylesheets, so as I said, the answer to your question should be no, the tools are not FreeBSD specific. Is that explanation helping at all, or am I way off track? And have I said anything that is just flat wrong? You may also want to look at http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets if you haven't already. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nowadays there are more and more protected discs around. Some of them even crash computers when loading. How silly is that? Programs like CloneCD can handle such things on Windows boxes. That is what I use after having long frustrated sessions with open-source tools. I am pretty sure this isn't an anti-piracy feature. It happens to me with _any_ enhanced CD (audio+data mixed CD), and _only_ on enhanced CDs. Never has it happened to me on any non-enhanced audio CD. My problem is not with the inability to get the data off, that doesn't seem to be a real issue. The problem is with the crashing of the computer. Why should _any_ data read from a removable disk of any kind be causing FreeBSD to crash by the mere act of attempting to read it from the disk? The device is reporting a failure, but why isn't the OS handling that failure gracefully? If I'm asking the wrong list, and should be asking [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some list related to multimedia, please let me know. The following contains a very short and good explanation on audio disc protections: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_protection#Copy_protection_for_audio_CDs Also, I did not specifically mention FreeBSD or any other OSes. I just merely said some of them (discs) even crash computers. Not only FreeBSDs are out there. For example, my Mac won't accept Linkin Park's Meteora, Jack Johnson's On and On or Missy Elliot's This is not a Test. They get spat out right away. I tried to extract tracks off those discs on FreeBSD but I get the very same errors you get. My car's player goes nuts trying to play Korn's Greatest Hits Vol.1 last track. Years ago, every time I wanted to put something onto my MD player I had to duplicate the disc on Windows first and then put it through Sony's patented/protected/secure software. Otherwise it would just freeze on last tracks (note: some enhanced discs, not all of them). Also, as Fabian said, by copying you even get better discs. I agree. I duplicate all problematic discs so my Mac will accept them as well as my car's player. In short, everything depends on your hardware, software and media you're trying to copy. The protection mainly is based on errors and faults on a disc that try to confuse your CD drive and not your CD player. This is where software comes into play and saves the day. Your results may vary.

GUIDE step-by-step - FreeBSD-RELENG-upgrade + BUILDWORLD process, using CVSUP
Hi all, specially for the novice of you, please read carefully !! OK, this is a the step-by-step GUIDE to do a FreeBSD-RELENG-upgrade + BUILDWORLD process, using CVSUP I have seen a lot of buildworld questions, and even more tips, on this news-group and now, finally I provide my GUIDE for all FreeBSD-RELENG-X.xx, builds, patches, ports-upgrades, in hope it will be help full for any one who still has problems building the system.. to make a BUILDWORLD as fast, safe and easy as possible using the CVSUP way ! You will find your answer to most of your questions below. NOTE !!! I only pull together and compress all the tips and information's out of news-groups, BSD-handbook, O'Reilly's publications and most my own try-and-error experiences. Even if it seams not quite perfect for some BSD-Gurus, but it happily dose the job for me, highly customised kernel and 520-installed-ports in one go, with out trouble. I used this steps for years now on all FreeBSD-releng-4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 5.4, 5.5, 6.0 and on all patch levels. (well 4.x wont's it the old way, but 5.x and 6.x sweeps flawless ahead) Recently upgraded my Laptop from FreeBSD-5.4-p15 to FreeBSD-5.5-p1 and a FreeBSD-6.0 with out any problems, it will work for FreeBSD-6.1 and above as well promised ;o) Usually CVSUP the source, fetch the distfiles and e-mails in a pub with WiFi WLan down the road on my Laptop, have a beer or two, compile, build, install the rest on the way home and over night if needed. No joke, I have no DSL, ISDN or phone at home but it works sweet for me, beer taste better than a phone bill ;o) and keeps my system up-to-date as well. Now to make it even more convenience to fetch it all, using fastest_cvsup for the source is a treat, but to keep it simple in this guide I'll only describe the basic way. (at the end of this mail you'll find a small script to CVSUP with fatetest_cvsup) any way ;o) Over all, a buildworld or upgrade with this guide will only work if your config files are OK before you carry on to follow this guide: !! Make sure the following files are looked over and work sweet you'll run in to a lot of error messages, if not crafted carefully to suit your machine!! you have to tweak this files first, to match your system, before you even can think about calling a buildworld-step out of this guide !!! build a customs kernel first and you get in to it.

FFS data integrity
Here goes a newbie question about classical FFS (without softupdates). As metadata is updated synchronously, can an i-node, at some point, end pointing to not written yet data blocks? Is this a security risk, i.e., can those pointed to data blocks pertain to another user's deleted on memory but not deleted on disk data, or that deleted data will be marked in metadata as not initialized and after a crash fsck will fix all i-nodes pointing to it? AFAIK, softupdates and ext3 in the default mode (data=ordered) don't have this problem, but journalling filesystems that journal only metadata do. Is this correct?

It's usually easier to start with the Docbook templates provided by FreeBSD for, say, an article, but it's entirely possible to go your own way, and write new documents in pure XML rather than SGML, for example. Or work with 4.x XML Docbook documents published on the Linux side rather than SGML from the BSD side. Specifically, this is not intended to reference the FDP tools. It might be possible that the FDP tools supply a 100% 4.5 Docbook XML compatiblity, and if those tools occur in the FreeBSD ports (I think they do) theIN could care about it here, but I don't want o referenc ethe FDP tools at all, otherwise.

I haven't used XML DocBook, but I've used DocBook with DSSSL. I assume what you are really asking is not whether the FreeBSD extensions to the DocBook markup language are a problem (they aren't), but whether the stylesheets used by FreeBSD are compatible with those on other systems. They are (or they claim to be, as I said I haven't actually used the XML/XSL tools yet). Look, how come you won't follow politely formed requests? I've asked now repeatedly, if you haven't yourself used the XML Docbook tools (not just Docbook, not just your own private mission statement here) then please to let this go, not to respond. I wrote that same request to my very first email. How come you can't react politely to a polite request? In private mail, you have tried to tell me that Docbook-xml didn't exist, and that FDP referred to the FreeBSD Development Project, not the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Aren't you being just a little bit juvenile here? Your own mail shows you know that Docbook-xml exists, and all you need to do is to look at the FreeBSD ports/textproc/docbook-xml-* ports to see what I mean (if you really don't know this). Especially if you are innocently ignorant of XML, then you are the sort of person I did not wwant to have respnd at all. Please, please, let this go, it's not your thread, and I dont' want to use your tools! If you respond again, I won't answer you anymore. I will just let this thread go entirely. I'm sure the rest of this list is quite fed up with this by now. To clarify: the real issue for me, and probably what you are really referring to, is that the output format is not defined by the DocBook markup, but by the stylesheets (or equivalent) in the tool set used to produce the output. That's both the advantage and disadvantage of Docbook (and SGML in general). If you want strict control of the output format, then you run into the problem of a standard stylesheet format so you can also distribute your stylesheets along with your marked up documents. DSSSL stylesheets are an incredible pain to modify, and I sympathize with your desire to avoid them. XSL stylesheets are becoming a widely accepted standard, so that's the way to go, and since they are pretty much a standard, the details of what tools you use to do your document rendering shouldn't matter. If you need to modify the standard XSL stylesheets to meet your needs, just distribute the modified stylesheets along with your marked up documents and that should allow the person at the other end to duplicate your output. The FreeBSD XML DocBook tool set claims to use XSL stylesheets, so as I said, the answer to your question should be no, the tools are not FreeBSD specific. Is that explanation helping at all, or am I way off track? And have I said anything that is just flat wrong? You may also want to look at http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets if you haven't already. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have read where the PC5740 card has been successfully used on Linux claiming 160mbps with a ohci-hcd module. If that's true, I was thinking this should be possible on FreeBSD. I have a mix of Darwin and FreeBSD and it seems more likely that FreeBSD would be the better bet since the linux module might run as is. Hate to put the money out and find out differently. Has anyone tried this? Hello, I have not tried this on FreeBSD, but I have on Linux. ochi-hcd is a linux kernel module for USB host so you can't run it on FreeBSD. The Verizon cards are USB serial devices that you can talk to with minicom using an AT command set. Going online with one of these in FreeBSD involves modifying /etc/ppp/ppp.conf with the correct information. You have to initialize the card on a Windows machine. I used my roommate's notebook. I don't know if FreeBSD needs to be tweaked out the way Linux (ohci-hcd) does.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Re: FFS data integrity
On 6/16/06, Pablo Marín Ramón [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here goes a newbie question about classical FFS (without softupdates). As metadata is updated synchronously, can an i-node, at some point, end pointing to not written yet data blocks? Is this a security risk, i.e., can those pointed to data blocks pertain to another user's deleted on memory but not deleted on disk data, or that deleted data will be marked in metadata as not initialized and after a crash fsck will fix all i-nodes pointing to it? The short answer is that fsck can detect the bad inodes and fix or delete them. Assuming no programming errors, you don't have to worry about a file containing bogus data after fsck has run. Unfortunately, if write-caching is enabled on your hard drive (and it probably is, for speed), then the drive may internally re-order the writes and the carefully crafted sequence of writes disappears, so there are no guarantees (or at least, not as many). Whether this is actually a problem depends on the brand, model, and firmware version of the drive, because some drives claim that data has been written to the disk when it is actually only in the drive buffer, while other drives are more honest. More details are found in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-disk.html AFAIK, softupdates and ext3 in the default mode (data=ordered) don't have this problem, but journalling filesystems that journal only metadata do.

Getting Source Code after Installing the Software
I installed FreeBSD on a couple of computers without installing any source code. Now (naturally), I want to get a hold of the kernel source so I can re-compile and enable support for PIM and Multicast Routing. However, I can't figure how to get the source off my CDs.

Cvsup into NFS mounted directory problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Over on my old windoze xp box, I've got a program called cvsnt. I wanted to see if I could update the source dir over there by mounting the dir here locally, then running cvsup to put everything there, before unmounting it. Then, use cvsnt for a local network source repository server. Cvsup does fine on the remotely mounted nfs dir until I get to this: Updater failed: Cannot install /home/mydir/cvsdir/src/contrib/ libreadline/#cvs.cvsup-91834.13672 to /home/mydir/cvsdir/src/contrib/libreadline/ChangeLog,v: Permission denied Command to mount the remote windows directory: mount -w -t nfs remotebox:cvsdir /home/mydir/cvsdir I've done everything with the local remote dirs except put them on eBay. :-) Chmoded them to 777 still get the same message.

Re: Upgrading Ports on 5.3
Chris Hill wrote: On Sun, 11 Jun 2006, Ron wrote: Is there a way to use the current ports system if I am still running 5.3? That's the only way. I really need to update subversion, mysql, plus make sure I'm running the latest versions of other software, but since 5.4 came out (and now 5.5 and 6.0), I am no longer been able to get new ports. If change my cvs-supfile to be: -- *default tag=RELENG_5_4 I second what Bill Moran said: tag=. for ports. I keep two separate supfiles - one for the system, another for ports. (I'm also running 5.4 on this machine.) I'll send them to you off-list if you want. If you still have the original ports tree from when you installed 5.4, it's kind of long in the tooth by now and there may initially be a certain amount of dependency hell, but I'd bite the bullet and do it anyway when you have a free Saturday; it will fix a lot of problems, and will be less trouble down the road. If someone can point me to some specific information that will help, I would be very appreciative. What I usually do is # cvsup -g /etc/cvsupfile.ports - my ports supfile with tag=. I've found the very excellent portmanager walks through most complex updates. It will only upgrade ports that need it but if yours are old that probably means most so it's going to take time. portmanager -s will tell you what needs to be done portmanager -u -l will do it. If you are upgrading jdk14 run make -n in the java/jdk14 directory and manually fetch any files it wants into distfiles/. Also I run portmanager -s some.file to get a list of what needs doing, then use some.file to make a script that looks in each port directory that's going to get upgraded and does make config - then portmanager can pretty well run unattended. (I'm still experimenting with the make config bit so ymmv) Chris # pkgdb -aF - may throw a lot of errors, esp. - if you have an old ports tree. - Fix manually if needed! # cd /usr/ports # portsdb -u # portsclean -C # pkgdb -u # portversion -v | grep needs - see what needs to be upgraded ...and then # portupgrade -Rr whatever port I want to upgrade or if I really have a lot of time, # portupgrade -aRr ...which will upgrade everything, but may take many hours even on a fast machine.

Contributor/Developer
Good day! Since FreeBSD 3 I have been an active student/user/hacker on my own x86 (Netfinity) based small cluster of servers. Initially, I started with FreeBSD as a path to learn *NIX style operating systems as well as the c programming language, after having spent several years breaking and fixing just about everything I could, and running FreeBSD alongside Solaris x86 Fedora, I now feel confident enough to take the next step in joining the community. I would like to become a contributor/developer for FreeBSD. I am particularly interested in bringing new features such as ZFS and DTrace to BSD. I am aware of the ongoing work by folks already working on porting DTrace, but am unaware of any ongoing projects to bring ZFS to FreeBSD. Regardless of my preferences, I would be more than happy to get involved where-ever I might be of use whether it be in code, documentation, etc. I am fortunate enough to make my living at home as a website and web application developer for a small design firm with a handful of solid clients; so I can easily make the necessary commitment of time and resources to pursue such a path. My previous contributions have included development work for JRun 3 4 and ColdFusion 4-7 for the now Adobe owned Macromedia and once upon a time Allaire. I wish now to take on something more challenging and rewarding. Please inform me as to how I may become a contributor/developer/whatever and where I may most be of use.

Thanks, Mac -- Mac NewboldMNE - Mac Newbold Enterprises, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.macnewbold.com/ ___ well, it has happened to me last week. but until now i've been under impression it was because of copy-protection. but hey, it happened right there before the end of the last track which was followed by data track. the cd was depeche mode playing the angel from 2005. the cover says it's copy protected. still i haven't had any issue grabbing the whole disc but the last track. crashing my system is very bad indeed. shouldn't happen, never. the sw used was abcde with cdparanoia. regards. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, my nvidia-driver was out of date as is. So I didn't need to do an -f. Same with alot of my xorg*. I probably should have been smarter (TOO LATE!!) to upgrade my nvidia first, run for a while THEN go to 5.5 . So it did get rebuilt. And when I portdowngraded and then portupgraded -f'd it, (I did mention that, right?) it would have re-installed it anyway. Are you running an opengl screensaver? If so, I'd suspect it's opengl that's causing the problem. I do the following in such cases: portupgrade -f nvidia-driver\* xorgclients\* portupgrade -fr libglut\* A portupgrade -f xorg\* wouldn't go astray either!

Random panics on FreeeBSD 6.0
I've got an AMD Sempron machine running FreeBSD 6.0 that's been experiencing random panics while trying to build world. In fact it just paniced now, with no activity. The panic message is TPTE at 0xbfc20624 IS ZERO @ VA 0810 bad pte This started last night while I was portupgrading ruby and I got random apps segfaulting, mostly gcc, so I suspected bad memory. I installed new memory today, tried to buildworld. And *BAM* panic: bad pte I'm still guessing that this is a hardware problem, and not software but I'm not sure. If anyone can give me a clue I'd appreciate it. Machine details: AMD Sempron ECS K8M800-M2 mainboard 1 GB Kingston PC-3200.

Try disabling or changing APIC and/or ACPI settings. Make sure your swap partition is error free and has enough room. Google a bit more just on the lists.freebsd.org site for several possibilities. For hardware, you can try memtest86+ to check to make sure the new memory is good. There are other stress tests you can run as well - I usually use the ultimate boot CD for that stuff. Other possible problems are faulty or too small power supply; too much heat on CPU, RAM, or expansion boards; faulty expansion cards and/or components; or faulty hard drive.

If you're sure your ACPI works without any problems add acpi_load=YES to your loader.conf. (that might not be the correct solution, but it should work).

FreeBSD equivalent to DRBD
Hi all, ISTR something about a FreeBSD equivalent to DRBD on Linux ie creating a raid device using disks on different machines, but I've not been able to locate any info. Does anybody have any info and or howtos. I am thinking of putting together a HA NFS server cluster using something like heartbeat with DRBD. As all my servers are Freebsd, I would like to stick with it. Any suggestions?
