Programs loading but sitting in limbo whilst not displaying
Im running FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE AMD64 KDE4.1.4 and recently for no reason i can think of when i try and load FireFox or Thunderbird, according to my process list, the applications are running, but yet they dont ever show up in KDE to use//liaise with. I have even started them from command line but again, nothing, it just sits there, no error msg, but process list again, sais there running. I have tried recompiling both ports with no success and im runnin gout of theorys as to whats happening.

Re: KDE: What a monster!
to me like they've gone to compete with Vista and have succeeded there, but I find some of the little extras and the core of it seem unfinished somehow. The concept is good (in that it could compete with Vista), but no it's bad. if they wat compete with windows, let they do the whole OS, and one that runs windoze binaries directly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
portupgrade dies during upgrade of x11
Hi, During an upgrade of my ports involving x11 portupgrade dies (FreeBSD 7.1, AMD64) Here's what I did: After cvsup, make fetchindex, I did a pkgdb -F and then portupgrade -rf libxcb as per UPDATING of 20090123. Next I did a pkgdb -F again, which complained about obsoleted packages while at the same time telling me that they're still needed, so I didn'd de-install them: # pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database Stale origin: 'x11/xorg-protos': perhaps moved or obsoleted. -> The port 'x11/xorg-protos' was removed on 2009-01-23 because: "Not really necessary" -> Hint: xorg-protos-7.3_2 is required by the following package(s): xorg-7.3_2 -> Hint: checking for overwritten files... -> No files installed by xorg-protos-7.3_2 have been overwritten by other packages.

Re: jail devfs openpty

ddclient broken after portupgrade
Hi, Yesterday evening I tried upgrading my ports by using the portupgrade tool. The exact command that I used was: portupgrade -a --batch All but one package failed to build properly. The offending package was git. For some reason it could not find the p5-xyz module while these were properly installed. Not able to get around the problem I finally tried the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER approach after reading about this on the net and in the output of the portupgrade run. This installed git and I thought everything was running fine till today. After rebooting I saw ddclient was no longer able to run. If I check /var/log/messages it complains that it can't load p5-IO-Socket-SSL. I can't get ddclient to work. A "make deinstall; make reinstall" does not work. Currently I am trying "portupgrade -a -f --batch" to try and rebuild every port on my system. What could have been the original problem with git and how can I get out of this nasty situation? My system is running FreeBSD 7.1-p2.

Hello, After installing 7.1R ports (portupgraded) I'm trying to create packages of all the ~1000 installed packages; 8 packages, all belonging to bsdpan-* packages from ports/www/p5-* (exact list below) are giving errors; what could I do? the command has been always 'pkg_create -Rnb x'; thx matthias bsdpan-URI-1.37: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::Escape.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::Heuristic.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::QueryParam.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::Split.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::URL.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::WithBase.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::data.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::file.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/URI::ldap.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.015: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/Compress::Raw::Zlib.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-IO-Compress-Base-2.015: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/File::GlobMapper.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Compress::Base.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::Base.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.015: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Compress::Deflate.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Compress::Gzip.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Compress::RawDeflate.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Compress::Zip.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::AnyInflate.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::Gunzip.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::Inflate.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::RawInflate.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Uncompress::Unzip.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-Compress-Zlib-2.015: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/Compress::Zlib.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-HTML-Tagset-3.20: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::Tagset.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-HTML-Parser-3.59: ... tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::Entities.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::Filter.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::HeadParser.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::LinkExtor.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::Parser.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::PullParser.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/HTML::TokeParser.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading '/' from member names tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256 bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.823: ... tar: Removing leading '/' from member names bsdpan-XML-Parser-2

There's dialog(1) in the FreeBSD tree, and dialog(1) on my website. The latter can work with UTF-8 (if it's built with ncursesw). But that's a little different from printf... -- Thomas E.

Something is very interesting here. If you used ports to install those modules, there will be no bsdpan packages, there will be p5 packages. If you installed modules directly from CPAN, there will be bsdpan packages. So before trying to figure out the problem with pkg_create, it would be useful to figure out how the modules in question were installed, and if the answer is "directly from CPAN", why the "real" ports were not used for the task. Another interesting question is whether a previous version of lang/perl5.8 (5.8.8) was installed at some point, and whether perl-after-upgrade script was run after the upgrade to 5.8.9 (as per ports/UPDATING entry). \Anton. -- There is no beauty in entropy. -- Eliezer Yudkowsky ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Well, there is a textproc/p5-XML-Parser port. It should be a dependency of the relevant port required by X11/kde3 (it is not entirely clear from your mail which particular port has failed its configuration change, the "" above might have contained some useful information). At any rate, this must be fixed unless it was fixed already. I would not know without knowing what port has failed. As for the immediate problem at hand, could you send me (privately, there is no reason to involve that many lists) the output of ls -l /var/db/pkg As well as cat /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-URI*/+CONTENTS As well as ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/ As well as cat /etc/make.conf As well as cat /etc/manpath.config That should get us started. In theory modules installed directly from CPAN should have their files registered correctly with the package system. It would be very interesting to find out what went wrong. If you don't care about finding out what went wrong and why, and you are sure that the only thing you installed directly from CPAN is XML-Parser (with its dependencies), then an easy way out is to rm -rf /var/db/pkg/bsdpan* and to go to /usr/ports/textproc/p5-XML-Parser and make install clean that. In this case you would not care about creating packages from bsdpan-* things, and you should be in the clear when you create packages from p5-* things. :-) > > Another interesting question is whether a previous version of lang/perl5.8 > > (5.8.8) was installed at some point, and whether perl-after-upgrade script > > was run after the upgrade to 5.8.9 (as per ports/UPDATING entry). > > I don't think so that there have been 5.8.8 installed; I installed the > base system, portupgraded and went directly to the KDE3 master port > which caused the above error; Ok.

Did you read /usr/ports/UPDATING before starting portupgrade? As ddclient depends on several perl-modules I guess you didn't run "perl-after-upgrade -f" after upgrading perl.

I may be confused here, but I think you are making too many steps rather than missing some.But, partly my problem is that I do not have the whole picture of what you have currently set up. First of all, you say that you have allocated 27GB of 238GB available. Is that 238GB in the existing slice - gm0s1 or is it outside of that slice? (NOTE, the 's' in the device name stands for slice - so it is slice 1 of a possible 4). It could be helpful if you posted you /etc/fstab file and also what is printed if you do:bsdlabel gm0s1 or, if it is what they call 'dangerously dedicated' do: bsdlabel gm0 If it is all in that gmos1 slice, then just use bsdlabel on that slice to add the rest to another partition within that slice. Just boot from something other than that mirror, make sure nothing in gm0 is mounted and then do: bsdlabel -e gm0s1 and fix it up as needed. If you are getting the terminology mixed and it is not in that slice, it depends on how you want your disk built. If there is no slice and it is what some call 'dangerously dedicated', then run bsdlabel on gm0 rather than gm0s1 (eg bsdlabel -e gm0). >From your comments above, it sounds like you have made a slice on it.

Quad Ethernet PCI Card ZNYX ZX346Q is supported

I got the clue for this from http://www.znyx.com/support/drivers/ZX346Q_drivers.htm If there is some more testing necessary to add this card to the list of supported hardware, please give me a note.

People have to use KDE4 in significant numbers for it to mature. The real problem was not that they released it, but that Linux distributions rushed to make it the default version, or in some cases the only version, in their packaging systems. From what I've read, many people in the KDE4 project were not happy about this. If most distributions had either followed the Debian approach of keeping KDE3 as the default, or the FreeBSD approach of leaving it up to the user there wouldn't have been such a problem.

One of the worst aspect of OSS is the pervasive attitude that software is either bleeding-edge, or it's obsolete. it's not OSS problem but general problem with all software. this problem started with commercial software some years ago because PEOPLE WANTED THIS. they wanted to have top-end rubbish as most of poeple don't do anything more on their computer than starting few simple programs and a web browser, but wanted to stay "ahead". That's why both windoze and KDE (and lots of others) software is such a crap. But it's very simple solution for that for everyone slightly smarter than idiot. Simply DON'T use them. You can do all things with non-"trendy" unix programs, and with "archaic" unix way of computing. for X window system just use some small windows manager that (as name suggest) manages windows on screen and JUST START program you use. that's all. the wistles are not needed for work. Actually it makes work harder and much less efficient. You don't need "desktop features", you jest need programs that do what you need, and run them.

Best thing you can do: 0) Check BIOS if there's something there that can make a CPU 'invisible'. 1) subscribe to freebsd-acpi and ask there if people have seen this before. 2) recompile kernel for acpi debugging, so you have information ready when people ask for it 3) regardless of the 1), search for or file a new PR with your ACPI information.

Re: Adding partitions to gmirror device
Thanks, Wojciech and Jerry, for your help. Quoting Jerry McAllister : First of all, you say that you have allocated 27GB of 238GB available. Is that 238GB in the existing slice - gm0s1 or is it outside of that slice? (NOTE, the 's' in the device name stands for slice - so it is slice 1 of a possible 4). It's 27GB used within the existing slice; gm0s1 spans the entire disk. It could be helpful if you posted you /etc/fstab file and also what is printed if you do:bsdlabel gm0s1 or, if it is what they call 'dangerously dedicated' do: bsdlabel gm0 $ sudo bsdlabel /dev/mirror/gm0s1 # /dev/mirror/gm0s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 104857604.2BSD 2048 16384 8 b: 8320016 1048576 swap c: 4883759370unused0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 2097152 93685924.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 e: 10485760 114657444.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 f: 41943040 219515044.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 If it is all in that gmos1 slice, then just use bsdlabel on that slice to add the rest to another partition within that slice. Just boot from something other than that mirror, make sure nothing in gm0 is mounted and then do: bsdlabel -e gm0s1 and fix it up as needed. Great, makes sense. I'll boot from the FreeBSD livecd and do this. Thanks again!

tool for detecting filesystem?
Background: I received a CD that I couldn't mount on my FreeBSD computer. Later, in a different city, I played it on my MacBook. It was a slideshow with music that had been created using a Roxio product. I did a right-click on the CD's icon and selected "Get Info", where I learned that the CD was formatted for UDF.

Restarting new Xorg freezes system
The operating system and ports were all cvsupped and built from source today. I'm running Xorg + windowmaker + the "radeon" driver on i386 7-STABLE My xorg.conf was built from scratch by "Xorg -configure", plus I added Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to the "ServerLayout" section, per /usr/ports/UPDATING, since I'm not running hal and I can't get keyboard or mouse otherwise. Everything appears to be great. My applications launch much faster than they did before the upgrade. Shutting down and restarting X is the only problem I'm having. This was not a problem before I upgraded to the new Xorg. This is a desktop system. I launch X with "startx" from the console. I can shut down X either by exiting windowmaker or by killing the Xorg server with ctrl+alt+backspace. There appear to be some failure messages on the console when I shut down X, but I don't know what they mean or if they're important. I'm attaching a log below. I don't see any stuck processes after the shutdown, but perhaps I don't know what I'm looking for. If I later restart X with "startx", some corrupted graphical junk appears on the screen and the system freezes solid. Keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive. NumLock light won't change. I can't ssh into the system either. I can reproduce this at will, but my hard drives don't like it. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Do I need to switch to hal? This is the console log. The part after the wsoundserver warnings is the shutdown.

Based on this you can just do thebsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/gm0s1 as root (or from the fixit) and then, right after the definition of the 'f:' partition make an 'h:' partition with '*' as both size and offset. eg. h: ** 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 Write and exit from the edit session and then newfs the new partition and fix up your /etc/fstab - the real one, not the fixit one so it will mount where you want it - don't forget to make the mount point. It should work just fine. Note, that when you are running from the fixit, it makes a filesystem in memory and mounts that as root (/). Your real root from the disk will probably be in /dev/mirror/gm0s1a so you will need to make a mount point in the memory root, let's say /tmproot and mount to that and then edit that fstab.eg Boot from fixit - get that holographic shell going bsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/gm0s1 Do the editing, write and quit mkdir /tmproot mount -w /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /tmproot cd /tmproot/etc vi fstab fix it up, write and quit Pull the CD, reboot and things should be just fine. My only concern is, I have never used the fixit on a mirror. I presume it should look just the same, but who knows, it might have a different looking address.I hope the gmirror stuff works on the fixit. If not, you will need to make a boot on something else - another hard disk with a full system. jerry > > >If it is all in that gmos1 slice, then just use bsdlabel on that > >slice to add the rest to another partition within that slice.

Control IRQ assignment?
I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 on a new Dell Inspiron 530s. I'm having an issue where the same IRQ is being assigned for multiple devices, and I have a device that absolutely needs its own IRQ. The BIOS is very limiting, and won't allow me to disable shared IRQ assignment. Some suggestions I've read about booting FreeBSD with ACPI hasn't been an option, because without it enabled, FreeBSD does not see the SATA controllers/disks, and thus won't boot. Linux has a utility called irqbalance (http://www.irqbalance.org/) that seems like it could be promising, but of course it is Linux-specific. Is there any way in FreeBSD that I can help the system decide which IRQs to assign to what? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Another fair comment, but they were still competing with Vista to the punch and only just made it- consider the media releases around the time of the Vista launch from the kde marketers.

Looking for a Good FreeBSD and General Unix Backup System
Several months ago, I started using dar to backup a number of FreeBSD and Linux systems to one FreeBSD box. It worked fine once one got the syntax of the remote commands working, but then it all died when I moved it to a new FreeBSD6.3 system. If I can't figure out what is wrong or whether it is worth fixing, I am going to have to find some other archiver so we can get good backups and trust them to be easily restored. What we plan to do is backup a bunch of Unix systems to one FreeBSD box and then use a commercial package to back that box up to an enterprise-wide system we use. The archiver we need must be able to make 1 full backup of each system like tar and then incrementals until we are ready for another full backup. Any suggestions as to what is best? Dar seemed to be okay until the incrementals would hang each time with some error messages about the format version being too high which is bogus because we are using the same version for all the effected systems. The archive files should use tar or some other common storage method so we could unpack an archive from a Linux system in to a FreeBSD directory or vice versa. Any backup packages using tar would be fine as long as they can do incremental backups and use ssh as the transport. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

But sadly for the most software that is used for real productivity, such as media players, programming environments, or even web browsers and mail clients. "programming environment"? what do you mean? unix itself is THE BEST (tm) programming environment i've ever seen, with most powerfull project manager called make(1), plus LOTS of tools to automatize most of other things. of course - not everybody likes to "waste" few hours to fully understand things, get "cool" "trendy" "programming environment" and then waste few hours every day. classic unix programs as so flexible that it's often usable for things they were not supposed to. For example - i use make and C preprocessor to make webpages :) instead of all this .css i use headers where i define all colors font sizes etc. i want to change colors on all pages - just one line in one file and run make same or faster every release on THE SAME machine! Exactly, that's why I'm such a happy FreeBSD user, or, to be honest, HAVE BEEN, because I think... well, sometimes I could crash the stupid box against the wall because things that worked well years ago when I setup the system with "old" software aren't possible with "modern" software anymore, and that's a thing I cannot so why don't you revert to old software? believe. Evolution is good, but what if it's not only about adding, fixing and optimizing things, but making things impossible, why do you use evolution? i installed it once, started once and after being shocked how crappy it is i deinstalled it. text mode mail clients are the best, like mutt, alpine etc. there is not a problem if you like to view attachments, just define a graphic viewer in alpine etc.. Hardware - = speed++ FreeBSD-- And yes, I think I could notice the speed improvement in the past. Improvements in performance and startup speed are always welcome, allthough they're not a major issue to me. As long as it works flawlessly in general, I'm happy. :-) with FreeBSD you get both. it's not unix problem. it's problem of people that like to have their unix be "like windows" so it is :) I cannot imagine one (!) reason why I would like to have my UNIX to be like "Windows", I'm happy it NOT like "Windows". :-) me too, but ask others why ;) what exactly software you rebuild and found slower (except KDE/Gnome bloatware) ? You're inviting me to complain. :-) Before I will start, I may say that I often heared that "KDE is an excellent development platform", so I tried it out, from whom ? :) KDE is unless especially because of KDEvelop which I found quite interesting (running it without KDE). KDE and Gnome are simply too much for my machine - end for me. So much stuff I don't need and believe me, there are NO BETTER development platform than standard unix tools First I found that compiling lasts much longer. I know that the yes gcc gets slower. anyway - i don't compile kernel and FreeBSD every day. something like every year is closer. And burncd doesn't work on my CD/DVD recorder anymore, but I have already made the switch to ATAPICAM oriented programs such as cdrecord and cdrdao. i already did the same. i don't even have atapicd driver in kernel Now for X. The startup of X has been "improved" over the startup of XFree86. It now lasts almost 10s from "startx" to X. Launching WindowMaker needs no more than 1s of this time. But sadly, X cannot run 1400x1050 anymore. Autodetect X -configure then edit xorg.conf manually. that's all. others on that list: Whenever I switch to textmode and then back to X, the content of the edit buffer (that what you select with the left button and output with the middle button) gets output at the window where the mouse is! So if it is to tell you the truth i don't switch to textmode. i found my own "desktop enviroment ;)" much better, with switching desktops defined in ALT-F*, and by default having xterm running full screen, and all window frames, decorations and buttons disabled. so xterm looks like true text console. except i can run X clients from it. well you wrote so much i would need to spend a bit time to read it all. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: KDE: What a monster!
worse, if I compare them to older versions. And if I try to print pages, they look terrible (exceed page borders). Furthermore, it crashes more often than Opera 5 or 7. When do you have opera 7 package somewhere? i would like to downgrade. yes it got very bad. Ah yes, and Firefox doesn't have a key combination to quit the program (such as every other program has, usually something like Ctrl-Q). with my fvwm2 config i simply press CTRL+right mouse click to close window:) Firefox has always been criticised for being slower than every other browser. I'm still sticking to Opera because I like the look and feel, the good keyboard support and the mouse gestures. Yes, I know some of them can be installed to FF as an addition, but... it's not the same! :-) the best browser i've seen is links (graphics mode). excellent font rendering, excellent speed, but unfortunately quite limited HTML processing. Oh and printing, apsfilter, allthough equipped with the same settings as before, doesn't utilize the duplexer of my HP Laserjet 4000 duplex office class printer. It reqires me to pull paper cartridges (because it uses them, even if paper is in tray 1) and then put paper manually (!) into tray 1. well i have laserjet 4 and use ghostscript+lpr. can't help you. I know that most of these "improvements" come along when the developers decide to move to a new version of the toolkit, for example Gtk to Gtk 2, such as it has been in X-Chat. Try to follow this example (or try it by yourself): Normally, you have X-Chat with a startup dialog of the available IRC servers. In Gtk 1, you could double-click on an entry and simply use text mode irc clients like epic or BitchX. Now for mail. Sylpheed has always been a good mail client, fast is relative. for me it always been slow. USE TEXT MODE MAIL CLIENTS. to incorporate new mail (from /var/mail, I fetch separately via fetchmail) disables its whole GUI for several seconds, which is funny as every normal mail clients reads mailbox files directly. alpine reads maildir dirs directly, and i use maildir format (through procmail). The image viewer xzgv, a fine thing, now has problems displaying the file and directory icons on the left. Let's say the window yes it get broken. no cure for this, i use xv now only. it's bad, xzgv was useful. bar is [|||-]. While I keep holding down cursor up or cuirsor left, this bar should move [] until the end of the file. But now, allthough I can hear the sound "move", the bar AND the screen content doesn't update, so I could reach the file's end without knowing it. And OSD doesn't work anymore, but I don't care for this. look at port options. i installed mplayer recently, works fine. i use it regularly Whenever I quit some programs (confirmed for: xmms, xzgv), the mpg123 is your friend. best ever mp3 player. For a long time, StarOffice 5.2 was my tool of choice when I thought I needed something except LaTeX. It didn't matter that it brought its own desktop. For some time afterwards, versions 1.x of OpenOffice could be installed via pkg_add, including the german version. Since 2.x and now with 3.x, it seems that compiling it is required. I don't have an office package installed at the moment, I think I should look if AbiWord can be installed as a german version... (I prefer my system to be english-only, with this particular piece of software as the only exception.) use LyX. Then, the Midnight Commander has been "improved". The command line now includes the full path, and for longer paths, column ports/misc/mc-light not mentioning Slowlaris :) Hey hey, Solaris is not that bad, it's my secondary OS (usually well with solaris you have lots of time to make your tea or coffee :) unfortunately you are right. but you can use IMHO firefox with GTK1 This would be an exception, and maybe it would reduce in functionality. no it works fine. from the system's speed gain. That's why I love to use them instead of their "oversized brothers". so use them as long as you can - as i do. I would still run my 5.x system, I would change back ANY DAY. i don't mean old FreeBSD version, but old programs. dig out older ports tree and extract needed ports :) There is NO USE for it's "GUI", and it's programs are toys, not much usable. KDE's philosophy seems to resemble the same concepts that have spoiled users who are long time "Windows" users: Put as much functions as possible into one program. Don't mind if it takes which is exactly opposite to unix philosophy, having small program doing little things but doing it well, and a method to automatically use many different programs to get your job done. i really prefer unix philosophy.

Depends on _what you want to back up. For backing up FreeBSD system files, use dump(8). My machines have separate partitions for /, /usr and /var. These are all backed-up by making dumps. For backing up user data, like /home, I prefer rsync. If my machine breaks, I can restore the system from dumps using nothing but a boot CD and the dumps. (to get / and all ports back up and running), and then use rsync to restore the user data. > What we plan to do is backup a bunch of Unix systems to > one FreeBSD box and then use a commercial package to back that > box up to an enterprise-wide system we use.

Use the OS's native dump(8) command to back up the system partitions. It's the best way to do a bare metal recovery. For the rest, use rsync(1).

Laptop battery life on FreeBSD
Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my laptop, replacing Arch Linux and I noticed a significant drop in my battery life (from ~3 hours to ~1.5 hours). I realize that Linux has their "tickless" kernel, which I am sure explains the difference, but my question is... is there anything I can do in FreeBSD right now to improve this? And is there going to be any work done the kernel to allow the hardware to enter into a low-power state for an extended period of time? My laptop is an Acer Travelmate 4100 which has the following hardware: - Pentium M 1.6 GHz processer - 2 GB RAM - integrated video/sound - 802.11bg / bluetooth I'm somewhat of a minimalist and don't use X11. I've disabled the bluetooth adapter, but frequently use my wireless adapter (intel pro/2200bg). Does anyone have any suggestions that could potentially extend my battery life?

Look into "sysctl hw.acpi" and "sysctl debug.cpufreq" Thanks for the ideas Chuck. I lowered kern.hz to 100 as you suggested (does this affect the kernel's ability to track time in milliseconds? ie. if I want to run a benchmark using the 'time' utility?). Changing the scheduler quantum won't affect the system clock or the ability to do millisecond-level timing of userland processes. It does affect the granularity of things like ipfw/dummynet if polling is enabled, but shouldn't have any real negative effects otherwise. For most of Unix history, HZ=100 was a common default, and the reduced context switch frequency should result in a decent improvement to power drain. If you have a concern, consider comparing against HZ=250 and see how the battery life and responsiveness or granularity of network traffic, etc feel And the output of the two sysctl queries is posted here: http://pastebin.com/m5ae8aa1c I'm not very familiar with acpi, so if you see anything that could be optimized, I'd appreciate the feedback.

comms/qfaxreader - printer recognition issue
Good day list;
Upgraded from 6.2 to 7.0 via clean install from CDs, then to 7.1 via
binary update. After upgrading to 7.0 I rebuilt and install all the
same ports using the same makefile except that the perl entries are
updated. This port built and install beautifully except it no longer
recognizes my printer, which it used to do on 6.2. Cups is set as the
printing system for xfce in the xfce "Printing & System Settings"
dialogue. This was set prior to installing the comms/qfaxreader port.
The print dialogue in comms/qfaxreader is greyed out not allowing the
selection of a printer. Any ideas or help welcomed.
Cheers, Tom
...and everything else prints fine, xpdf, Mousepad (gui test editor),
Opera (native), and files from the command line using lp (cups version).

Well, I found this a problem, too, but very early recognized that there are window managers that can actually combine keyboard AND mouse control at a very user-friendly level. Such a window manager is WindowMaker. It can even utilize the keys on the left of a Sun Type 6 keyboard for window manager functions (front, back, roll up, hide, full- screen etc.) which "the big DEs" can't. What I don't like personally about "the big DEs" is their way of handling windows through the means of the mouse. You're forced to click on tiny buttons, and if you enlarge the control buttons, you end up with uselessly wasting screen space. In WindowMaker, there are many operations that don't force me to first move the mouse to a certain place and THEN do the operation I want. This makes windowing operations, especially in operations context, very fast and easily. So professional window managing isn't about minimalism only. There are other window managers that can provide effects and "bells and whistles" very efficiently, if you think you need them. But, of course, they're not "mainstream". -- 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 "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There are web pages that, without "Flash", won't even let you know if you're on the correct page - the HTML source of the index page doesn't contain anything than one "Flash" reference. It's with "Flash" loaden pages as with orthography (in Germany at least): If you have something OF VALUE to tell, content and form go hand in hand. Professional web projects always honor this point of view, containing valid (!) HTML and, if "Flash" is included, there's always a means to bypass it, because it's an ADDITION, and not required. Even more important: If you're disabled through a disease of your eyes (read: you're blind), youre happy about every page that can be displayed with lynx (or any text mode browser). That's a sign of quality, especially if img includes alt= and longdesc= for the visually impaired. > for pages that have some flash extras like adverts etc.. it's even > adventage not having this.

"Flash" isn't a standard. If it's integrated in every major browser on any OS (such as viewing JPG images is, for example), then I'd be glad to review my standpoint. :-) -- 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 "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I've already recognized this fact. I've tried out KDevelop and Eclipse. Well, fine, they may have their users, but I've not gotten one of them. To me, text-file based controls are the best solution. Multiple X Terminals or screen sessions give me the speed and power to do my development work. And finally, I've found Makefile to be even a good tool for web design. Hm? What? Yes, exactly, or to be more precise, not... I do use it to implement "developer-site SSI replacement", for uploading content (make upload) and similar tasks. It's possible! :-) I have a system to automatize writing of applications for a job (printed output and PDF for e-mail) based on a config file, and then a Makefile to create the tex file from it, and all the other targets. The advantage to automate things is one of the reasons that drove me away from those X based development tools. There's simply too much interaction for nothing. > of course - not everybody likes to "waste" few hours to fully understand > things, get "cool" "trendy" "programming environment" and then waste few > hours every day. If you have a concept for programming (and as a part of it, implementing source code), you're well off with every tool that fits your needs. The most clicky-colorful X environment doesn't help if you can't program. Trying to falsify this condition, there are many tools for web developers that output something that's not HTML, claiming that you don't need to know anything about the Web, HTML, the computer or anything in life, but everyone can be a web developer (and see "Flash" for such reasons, too). I think this "click & done" attitude is found in the programming world, too, but because programming isn't cool enough (not as cool as web development), there are not so much causes from these tools, except what some "script kiddies" do produce. :-) > classic unix programs as so flexible that it's often usable for things > they were not supposed to.

Even "make deinstall" (to clean it from the web server) is possible, how would you do this if printf "prompt\nmdelete *\nbye\n" | ftp ftp://$(FTPUSER):$(FTPPASSWD)@$(SERVER)/ wasn't possible? :-) > i want to change colors on all pages - just one line in one file > and run make Possible with CSS, too, as long as read from a file (no inline CSS). > so why don't you revert to old software?

Because I did use many differnt platforms (BSD, Linux, Solaris, even IRIX and HP-UX), I found it quite comfortable that with the means of basic (not BASIC) knowledge you could do development on all the platforms in their installed state, no need to install X-based DE tools. This is due to the fact that all the UNIXes and Linusi share essential standards, such as standard scripting shel
