We are seeing a lot of this in embedded stuff but it's starting to contaminate public websites and most importantly, general software. Just by virtue of it coming from Google, a lot of end users and consumers out there will download, install and run Chrome. As a result web designers will have less incentive to jump to active X.

Re: script to assist ASCII text
On Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:00:10 -0700, Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: G This had eluded me for years and it may not be possible, but here goes. G I write using vi or, less frequently vim. Is there any sh script that G would make sure that there were exactly one space ('\040') between words, G and three spaces between sentences? My definition of a sentence is a G string of words that ends in a period or question-mark, exclamation-mark, G or ellipse (... . || ... ? || ... !) Also, any dash -- could not have G any whitespace around it. I like a similar setup -- one space between words, sentences ending with a period followed by two spaces. The GNU version of fmt handles this pretty well. Here's the first part of your message, formatted to 50-character-wide lines, with the type of spacing that drives me nuts: me% cat -n msg 1 This had eluded me for years and it may not be 2 possible, but here goes. I write using vi or, 3 less frequently vim. Is there any sh script that 4 would make sure that there were exactly one 5 space ('\040') between words, and three spaces 6 between sentences? My definition of a sentence 7 is a string of words that ends in a period or 8 question-mark, exclamation-mark, or ellipse. Putting one word on each line and then letting GNU fmt decide on sentence-handling does almost exactly what you want: me% gfmt -1 msg | gfmt -50 | cat -n 1 This had eluded me for years and it may not be 2 possible, but here goes.

My definition of a sentence 7 is a string of words that ends in a period or 8 question-mark, exclamation-mark, or ellipse. Here's a script I use as a driver for GNU fmt. It looks for an optional environment variable FMTWIDTH to decide how long each line should be. This comes in handy if I call vi/vim from within a script: #!/bin/sh # driver for fmt. case $FMTWIDTH in ) opt= ;; *) opt=-$FMTWIDTH ;; esac case $1 in -*) opt= ;; *) ;; esac exec /usr/local/bin/gfmt $opt ${1+$@} Here's an alias I use for quickly reformatting a section of text in vim. I mark where to start using 'a', then move down to the end of the section and hit 'v': jmbk:'a,.!fmt -1|fmtCR'b A similar alias will reformat whatever paragraph I'm in, with no need for marks: }jmbk{ma}:'a,.!fmt -1|fmtCR'b The script below helps me clean up a file or message after running fmt, which makes strings like U.S.A. look like the end of a sentence even when they're not.

LDAP and ssh not working anymore since upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1
I recently updated several boxes up to FreeBSD 7.1-PRE having had a working OpenLDAP binding. After this update, I can't log in on those boxes connected to an LDAP server via ssh! The boxes also run lighttpd as a webserver with remote LDAP authentication for several user spaces and this still works as expected. I can log in locally on the boxes in question, even with LDAP backed users, so login works fine, also doeing a 'su - USER' as root works fine, but no sshd connects. Only local users (stored in /etc/passwd) can login in via ssh. The error message on console is like this: sshd[16434]: fatal: login_get_lastlog: Cannot find account for uid 2001 It's funny, seems that sshd never made it to LDAP although I see traffic on the LDAP server's log.

Not quite sure what you're asking here. I use portupgrade to upgrade. I'm not sure if you're asking about upgrading, or getting PHP going on the Apache install for the first time. If it's already there and working but just needs updating portupgrade can do this. If you are coming into situation in the middle and have Apache up and running correctly but these above mentioned ports are leftovers from before you became involved you may consider simply deleting them and starting over fresh. Either start over or update, both can work. You can use pkg_delete, make deinstall in the port directory, or (if portupgrade is installed) pkg_deinstall. The above list may be confusing because there are two separate sections to a PHP install. The first is PHP itself. This is /usr/ports/lang/php5 - a make config screen will come up and in the options list you'll see one to include mod_php. There are a couple of messages at the end containing a couple of lines you'll need to add to httpd.conf for php to work. The extensions are found here: /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions These contain all of the different PHP function modules. The most common example is this is where you would add/activate MySQL access for PHP. When you do make, or make config, in the port you will get a list to choose. You can install only what you know you need, or you can install all of them and comment out the ones you don't need in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini As far as the httpd.conf goes you really need two things. One the mod_php option should have probably installed and just needs checking. Look for a LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so entry at the bottom of the LoadModule list. The other are the two lines mentioned at the end of the port install. Look for the IfModule mime_module section. I think these are already present but commented out (it's been a really long time since I've done a virgin install), if not add (under the IfModule mime_module section in the httpd.conf): AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps The problem you'll encounter when these aren't present is the web server will just serve up the contents of the .php script without actually running it. A real easy test to see if PHP is working correctly is just create some file in the root of your web server such as php_test.php containing this: ?php phpinfo(); ? If everything is fine it'll return all the info on your PHP install. Hope this helps. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No need to reinvent the wheel. :-) The solution is quite simple, allthough it is to be considered a security risk, and maybe it's a bit ugly. Here's what I would suggest you to do: 1. Modify /etc/gettytab as follows: default:\ ... autologin:\ :al=USERNAME:tc=Pc: a|std.110|110-baud:\ ... where USERNAME is the name of the user who wants the screen and rtorrent running. 2. After that, go to this user's home directory and create or modify his ~/.login file to contain the proper commands to start the screen sessions and rtorrent. Please note that it might be possible to have another file changed if the C Shell is not this user's shell. BASH has another file for startup, I think. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The open-vm-tools power down correctly. improve memory management That's the balloon memctl driver. It actually improves memory management for the host by asking the guest (where it is running) to feed it available memory, which the host can then allocate to other VM's if needed. replace the virtual NIC with a higher performance one That applies to the vmxnet/lance type of virtual NIC. I've heard of people getting the VMware-supplied driver running under FreeBSD, but I've never messed with it. The le(4) driver does fine. Or you can do as I suggested and switch your virtual NIC to an intel one (which is the default for 64-bit VM's, may require editing the .vmx file for 32-bit VM's) which will use the em(4) driver. replace the video driver (if you are running a GUI which we aren't in this case.)

What to do? Something went wrong when specifying the disks where the OS is to be installed to. As it has already been mentioned, / is placed on a RAM disk. Extraction of the OS's components has to go to the mountpoints where your correctly created partitions reside (which are more than big enough, especially regarding /, I think). Did you do the installation via the sysinstall utility? If not, make sure the correct mount points are given for the software installation, e. g. /dev/ad0s1a - /mnt/ /dev/ad0s1d - /mnt/tmp /dev/ad0s1e - /mnt/var /dev/ad0s1f - /mnt/usr /dev/ad0s1g - /mnt/home The structures in / (/bin, /usr/local etc.) are not the structures you want to have on the disk you're installing on. PS. Where's your /home partition? :-) There used to be an issue with the installer that if you crashed out of the install process somewhere then restarted it from within sysinstall without rebooting you could get a similar issue. Maybe it's been fixed by now though. Sorry not to be more specific, it's been a long time since it has happened to me, maybe someone who knows more could confirm.

Re: ThinkPad 3.0GHz: can anybody verify?
Dumb-question-dept:: is the dual-core 2.2GHz == 4.4GHz single processor? I just bought my daughter a MacBook dual-core 2.4 and if you run at least 2 CPU-intensive processes in parallel - yes it's MORE THAN 4.4Ghz performance equivalent. why more? because when processor gets stalled at memory access (memories are still 45ns at most), throughput is halved not stopped. in unix environment bunch of slower processors are always better than one fast. I'm not sure what model these 3.0GHz is; but IBM cheaped out on the memory (256-512M) and they're all 40-60G max drive. So just wondering how far these used laptops can go. Since I'll be running 7.1 or Ubuntu, no need for **super** fast. my ONLY home computer is IBM/Lenovo T23 laptop with celeron 1200 and 256MB RAM. it's really enough ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It opens screen on boot, names it rtorrent and starts rtorrent, does its thing in the background. To connect to it type screen -r rtorrent I placed it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d since it isn't part of the base distribution. I also named it with a .sh suffix, I forget why but it is something to do with a controlling terminal, I think.

Re: upgrading kdeartwork to version 4.1.1 fetch error in ports
Refetching means, mostly a failed download. So deleting the KDE/kdeartwork-4.1.1.tar.bz2 would solve the problem, means it will do a fresh fetch.

Obviously, keying in data into a search engine to find things is giving the search engine data on what people are searching for. Is there any requirement to do this if your running Chrome? And, how else would you find something? I think I'm missing something here in this argument. Please don't top post. It makes reading a thread a lot harder than it needs to be. I think I posted this yesterday. In any case, you might want to to take a look at it and its implications. http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/03/0247205from=rss Um, the OP used Chrome to refer to the Google browser under FreeBSD, strongly implying compiling the source to it under FreeBSD. (ie: porting to FreeBSD) At least that is how I took it. The Chrome open source code is under the BSD license, the EULA that is subject of the discussion is attached to the compiled binary that is (I would assume) the result of Google compiling that BSD licensed source under a Windows compiler. You should certainly be aware of the terms of the BSD license by now - if I want to take a product like FreeBSD and compile it's source, I can then commence to apply whatever restrictive EULA that I please to the result. Google is free to license Chrome under BSD then compile a Windows version of Chrome and then apply an EULA to it that is more restrictive - and that appears to be what they have done as documented by this thread you posted. Since the EULA is only under the Windows precompiled binary of Chrome, it isn't applicable to a FreeBSD version of Chrome or to this discussion. So once more, what is the issue here? Since you have the BSD source for Chrome you can certainly remove any secret data collection routines that might be buried in the browser code (if that is your concern, assuming such things even exist) then compile it how you want.
