firewire disk failure

2003-11-15 Thread Ryan Clancey
about a month ago, i bought a maxtor external firewire disk.  it worked
great for the majority of that time.  today, though, it appears to have
failed quite spectacularly.  my machine was hung, and after rebooting, i
ran fsck on the disk, and got the following error:

(da0:sbp0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 08 cb 24 95 0 0 1 0
(da0:sbp0:0:0:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(da0:sbp0:0:0:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(da0:sbp0:0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:4b,0
(da0:sbp0:0:0:0): Data phase error
(da0:sbp0:0:0:0): Retrying Command (per Sense Data)

repeated 5 times, then a bunch of fsck filesystem errors.  rinse,
lather, repeat, ad nauseum.

my question is this: what is the most likely culprit?  the kernel (5.1),
the disk, the enclosure, or the firewire card (d-link dfb-a5)?  has
anyone had problems with any of these components?  my concern is, which
one needs to be replaced?  the disk most certainly, but i don't want to
do that and find it failing again next month.

thanks for any input.

My question is, when I make a new file or directory in ~/public_html (with
chown tigger:www), the file is made with the following permission:
-rw-r--r--  1 tigger  www  0 Nov 15 13:42 public_html/test1.php

How can I make new files without the world readable flag set, within the
public_html directory?
Change your umask.

But I only want the creation of new files and directories in the
~/public_html folder to inherit these permission. Everything else should
stay the same. I guess if this is the only solution it would do, but, I was
hoping for a per-directory setting.

 Didn't I see a blurb a few months ago that the root server cache file was
 going to be updated?  Google on that and see what you get.  You can update

I checked the named.root file on ftp.internic.net and it's still dated

My local cvs-mirror only has docs, src,  ports, and www. It is 2.0 GB. Of 
that, 1.2 GB is src. The ports are 598 MB. The docs are also necessary and 
were only 153 MB. The www was something that was more trouble to turn off 
than to let the cvsupd script set it up.

Blender and Radeon 7500 problems

2003-11-15 Thread Shobaki sam.
Hello group,

Here is my first problem, as explained in PR 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=59298:
When trying to render any scene with blender, and pushing the render button, blender 
core dumps with this
error message:
-
assertion vb.context == ctx failed: file radeon_vtxfmt.c, line 1061
Abort trap (core dumped)
-
I tried to set RADEON_NO_VTXFMT to 1 but the problem go somewhere else, blender 
becomes very unstable and crash too frequently.

My other problem is about a strange warning message i got in Xfree86 logs as explained 
in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=59297 :
when closing any opengl window application with the escape key, described in this 
sample code:
--
if(key == ESCAPE)
{
glutDestroyWindow(window);
exit(0);
}
--
i got this warning in /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
--
(WW) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRITransitionTo2d: kernel failed to unflip buffers.
--
But if i use the system close button, everything is going fine, but is this 
error is harmless or not ?

Thanks for any help.

being over full?

2. just how much space should I need? I know that's a loaded question, but 
I have another 2.5GB ide I could slave to the secondary port off the cdrom, 
or swap some disks around with other networks or; hard to plan unless I can 
make guesstimates about the future; is there a space planning guide around 
somewhere.

3. apologies in advance for my ignorance, am just very new to this and 
nowhere near done with a first read through of the Handbook

Unlike Linux, FreeBSD is not distributed as a separate kernel and
world: it is one integrated system.  To update your system, you update
your sources with e.g. cvsup, and then rebuild the kernel and world.
This process is documented in detail in the handbook on the FreeBSD
website.

Welcome to FreeBSD.  We do things a bit differently to Linux.  In
FreeBSD the kernel and the userland are a unified distribution set:
you don't install one without the other.

All of the system sources can be downloaded with cvsup(1) as you seem
to have discovered.  The specific kernel sources are under
/usr/src/sys -- however, unlike Linux, you shouldn't recompile *just*
the kernel, but rather reinstall both the userland and the kernel
together, or you'll find that several crucial applications that have
to read kernel memory will stop working.

You'll find that perusing the Handbook at

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

will answer pretty much anything you need to know, and if you've still
got questions after that, ask again here.


As for new releases: the kernel is under continuous development.  If
you track 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT you will receive all the latest
checkins to those respective CVS branches.  Otherwise, formal system
releases are made usually every 4 months (it's been more frequent
recently, since there's been parallel 4.x and 5.x releases.)
 
   When I update src with CVSup command at this moment everything
 is okey ?! I mean new kernel installed and ready to build custom kernel

No, cvsup(1) just gets you the source code.  You will need to compile
and install everything according to the instructions in:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html


As part of this process you might consider creating a custom kernel
configuration:

Usually, that error is caused by a hardware problem (frequently, a
marginal ATA cable).  So you usually need to fix the hardware...

is my php.ini, if someone could find a fault i would be most gratefull.

I am running PHP 4-4.3.3.r1_1,1 withApache 1.3.27_5 on FreeBSD 4.9 Stable.

Unfortunately, the problem still persists, i can't realize why the

register_globals is turned off for security reasons nowadays.  You
should be very careful of turning off register_globals on any machine
exposed to the internet.

The recommended way to access the CGI data is through the $_GET[]
array (or $_POST[] for scripts that work by that action)

Cheers,

Matthew

If find it a little odd that it happens in 4.8/9 but not in 5.1. I have seen
something like this twice. Once was bad cables and the other time the drive was
getting ready to die. Are they both on the same drive? If so I would really
begin suspecting that there may be a drive problem... such as the disk going bad
in a spot. I have had this happen to me one, the drive for the most part would
read everything fine till it got to one part, thankfully  I was able to replace
it in time befor it totally failed.

You may want to check around on current and stable lists if the hardware checks
out good.

While it would be more appropriate to post this in
some forum or list that deals specifically with PHP
--- I'd recommend the forums at phpbuilder.com or
phpfreaks.com; both are friendly and have knowledgeable
PHP coders present.
However, this is absolutely the #1 FAQ re:
PHP at present, and it couldn't hurt, in light of the
continual growth in popularity of this scripting
language, to address it here.
PHP is now shipped with register_globals=OFF,
as noted in your attached file.  If you access the
URL http://www.foo.com/foo.php?bar=baz, and then attempt
this in the script foo.php
?php

echo $bar;

?

You will get no output.  It is recommended that
you code foo.php thus:
?php

echo $_GET['bar'];

?

which is the above case would echo baz
to the browser.
The workarounds are many; the one you are
looking for is to change the register_globals
directive in your php.ini to =ON and restart
Apache.  This is not recommended for several
security reasons.
As mentioned before, it's *recommended highly*
that you begin converting your scripts to the latter
usage.

PPA printing - HP 720C with apsfilter - ioerror

2003-11-15 Thread Herculano de Lima Einloft Neto
   Hello all,

   I'm trying to get my DeskJet 720C printer set up. It already works 
on Linux and Windows on the same box. I installed apsfilter, ran SETUP, 
apspreview works allright, lpd is running, gs -h shows pnmraw... Here :

/etc/printcap :

  Now whenever I try to print anything, nothing happens, and this is 
what I see when I cat /var/spool/lpd/aps1/log :

   Any help much appreciated, I can't find anything else online. 
There's   also an error that happens when I don't use the -C option in 
lpr, though I don't think it's related:

apsfilter warning: unknown option 'localhost.localdomain'

   Some unimportant bug for what I've seen..
   Anyway I can't print anything.. anyone?

 1. ad1 is a 2GB ide slaved to ad0  which is only 1GB - what must I do 
 immediately to clear space on ad1 or is nothing impacted with the disk 
 being over full?

A port first fetches the sources it need and places these in
/usr/ports/distfiles/. You could empty this with:
rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles/*

You could also move /usr/src/ and /usr/obj to another machine and mount
them from there. As a added bonus, you then can let the other machine do
most of the building during updates of the main system.

You could also move /usr/ports/ to this machine. You do need to edit the
working directory in /etc/make.conf (copy it from /etc/defaults/ if it
doesn't exist) becuase you don't want to mount the working directory.

 
 2. just how much space should I need? I know that's a loaded question, but 
 I have another 2.5GB ide I could slave to the secondary port off the cdrom, 
 or swap some disks around with other networks or; hard to plan unless I can 
 make guesstimates about the future; is there a space planning guide around 
 somewhere.

It depends on what you like to do. My kde workstaion has a 2 GB disk and
du -h gives: 
/dev/ad0s1g2.0G   1.5G   340M82%/usr

This doesn't inculde /usr/ports/, /usr/src/ and /usr/obj/, since I let
antoher machine handle this. The later two are for upgrading your
system.

DHCP

2003-11-15 Thread Gerard Samuel
A bit off topic, but any help would be appreciated.
Im trying to setup DHCP for the first time.
I set winXP to auto configure itself in the network section, but it
still remains on the IP address that it was previously set at, and not 
obeying, the range of IP Addresses listed in dhcp.conf.
The connection works, I can use the network, but looking to see if there are 
any errors in dhcp.conf file.

Also, is there a way to not specify the MAC address, and have DHCP still work.
For example, say a family member comes over with their laptop, can they just 
plug in and go??

Thanks for any pointers...

Fastest way to change IP addresses

2003-11-15 Thread Jamie





   I want to change the IP address from 200.80.11.7 to 200.80.11.8
on a FreeBSD machine as quickly as possible. Despite my efforts, I can
only get the change to work by editing rc.conf and rebooting the machine.
Isn't there a more elegant way?? The man page for ifconfig seems to cover
changing IP ALIASES, but not the primary IP of an interface.



  In order to switch to 200.80.11.8 I've tried:

1) ifconfig de0 200.80.11.8 255.255.255.0

  ifconfig -a then gives me:

  fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500
inet 200.80.11.8 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 200.88.11.255
ether 00:03:47:b1:d6:1c
media: 10BaseT/UTP status: active



  But then I cannot ping the gateway,

   ping 200.80.11.1

  5 Packets transmitted, 0 packets received 100% packet loss


  2) I've tried editing /etc/rc.conf with the desired IP address. I
then run:

sh /etc/netstart


  It gives me the same output listed in (1), but I still cannot ping the
gateway. The only way I can change the IP address is to make the change in
/etc/rc.conf and reboot the whole machine. Then it works just fine.


   I would have to think there has GOT to be a better way.

   Am I doing something wrong somewhere, or is it just a requirement that
you need to restart?


Thanks,

   - Jamie

kdeinit problem with LDAP users

2003-11-15 Thread Antoine Jacoutot
Hi !

I'm having a problem starting kde (with exec startkde in my .xinitrc).
The screen freezes waiting for something that does not seem to load.
I get the following error: kdeinit could't not start, please check your kde
installation.
Now, this happens for my users (homedir mounted with NFS) authenticated with
LDAP, but if I creat a local testuser on the box, kde works fine...
I configured pam.d/system,  pam.d/login ans pam.d/kde for LDAP authentication.
I can login fine, startx... anything but starting KDE.
I also completely rebuilt KDE... doesn't work better.

Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes -- you're doing everything right in order to change the IP number.
Except that you seem confused as to whether the network interface is
de0 or fxp0 -- I assume that's just a flub in your e-mail, and not
what you've actually done...

If it isn't that, then the problem may lie within your network gear.
This may have cached the MAC address belonging to your machine as
associated with first IP number and is getting confused by the
renumbering.  If you wait for a while it should eventually sort itself
out.  How long you have to wait depends on a number of things
including the make of routers and switches -- it could be as long as
20 minutes.

One way that you might get round this problem would be to add the new
address as an alias:

# ifconfig de0 inet 200.80.11.8 netmask 0x alias

In theory you could then go on to swap the netmasks for the two
addresses, thus making the second one the primary address, and then
delete the first address.  Possibly with some sort of delay between
each operation to let verything adjust.  But no guarrantees that will
work.  You'll have to experiment.

Matthew

I found another machine here running a newer version of FreeBSD and
tried it. It worked the way it should. The old machine was running FreeBSD
3.4, and the new machine is running 4.8. Maybe the problem has to do with
software versions.

And yes, that was a flub in the email.


Thanks for the suggestions,


   - Jamie

 A bit off topic, but any help would be appreciated.
 Im trying to setup DHCP for the first time.
 I set winXP to auto configure itself in the network section, but it
 still remains on the IP address that it was previously set at, and not
 obeying, the range of IP Addresses listed in dhcp.conf.
 The connection works, I can use the network, but looking to see if there
 are any errors in dhcp.conf file.

I figured out why the IP Address wasn't changing via DHCP.
There was an entry for the laptop in DNS, and it seems that DHCP accepted only 
the DNS value.  Once I took it out, restarted DNS, the laptop picked up a new 
IP Address.  So Ill see how it behaves from here.


 Also, is there a way to not specify the MAC address, and have DHCP still
 work. For example, say a family member comes over with their laptop, can
 they just plug in and go??

Still reading up on this, but any pointers would be appreciated...

I may be misunderstanding your needs, but typically IP addresses are assigned 
dynamically. The host {} section for the laptop is only needed if you need 
special settings for that particular host - such as the ethernet address.

Unless you need the laptop to always have that certain hostname, you should 
just be able to remove the host {} section and any devices, including the 
laptop, should get an IP address from the pool.

Network setup for router

2003-11-15 Thread omsbud om
What's the proper way to setup a network w/ freebsd as
the router and network windows machines to it? I got a
network setup working, but I'm not sure whether I went
about it correctly.

I have two 3com nics in the router (xl0 and xl1), xl0
is connected directly to the cable modem w/ a CAT5
cable, xl1 is connected is connected to a port of the
hub w/ a crossover cable. Then I just connect the
remaining windows machines into the hub and set the
local private addresses in windows and put the freebsd
router as the gateway. On the freebsd machine I run
natd -n xl0 and ifconfig_xl0=DHCP. The media type
for xl0 is set to 100BaseTX full-duplex and
10BaseT/UTP full-duplex for xl1, 100BaseTX
full-duplex for xl1 sets the status for that
interface to no carrier. I can't get the network
running at 100mbps for some reason. I also have some
weak rules for ipfw as suggested in the natd manual
page.

Another thing is that when I ran a speed test from a
machine that was directly connected to the cable
modem, the speeds reported were 5 times faster then
when I run a speed test from a windows machine. Any
reason for that reported speed decrease? Any
suggestions on network setup or on how to get greater
performance? Thanks. 

Also, I'm not subscribed to the list, please make sure
to direct replies to my email as well.

Dual Booting FreeBSD

Hello,

  I have recently come into possessing a new hard drive which is 40 gigs.  
I also have a 160 Gig hard drive with an unformatted partition that is approx. 
40 gigs.  Would it be easier to install FreeBSD on the unformatted partition 
or the new hard drive for the purpose of dual booting with xp?  Also, does 
anyone know how to set up a dual boot system or know of a good guide to doing 
so?

When you edit multiple files in vi,
(whether you start from the command line like vi file1 file 2. . . ,

in which case you can load a file from inside the vi with the

Marty,

to switch between screens (there are eight pre-configured
virtual screens on FreeBSD,named /dev/stty0 to /dev/stty7,
stty0 being also the console output for system messages),
you use the key combination Alt-Ctrl-F1 to Alt-Ctrl-F8,
or Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F8 (the latter ones do not work if you want
to switch to screen 0-8 while you are in your desktop 
environment or window manager).
If you started X-window,by using a window manager
or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen
#10 (you can change the virtual screens in the /etc/ttys file).
So remember that in case you switch to any of the
virtual screens 0 to 7,if you want to resume your
X session (your window manager or desktop environment),
you have to press Alt-F10.

Best regards

Bruno

Re: Dual Booting FreeBSD

2003-11-15 Thread Michael L. Squires
 40 gigs.  Would it be easier to install FreeBSD on the unformatted partition 
 or the new hard drive for the purpose of dual booting with xp?  Also, does 
 anyone know how to set up a dual boot system or know of a good guide to doing 
 so?

I have one system which uses XOSL with separate disks (SCSI) for FreeBSD
5.1-CURRENT and XP, and another using the standard FBSD boot manager
where the primary disk is all XP and FreeBSD uses the first partition
of the secondary drive.

Both work fine.

 Marty,

 to switch between screens (there are eight pre-configured
 virtual screens on FreeBSD,named /dev/stty0 to /dev/stty7,
 stty0 being also the console output for system messages),

I must say you seem to have a rather unusual FreeBSD setup.
On my 4.7-STABLE machine I believe the default number of 
virtual consoles is 16 with the first 12 having by default /dev entries
/dev/ttyv0 to /dev/ttyvb; certainly not /dev/stty0 ...
and are selectable with Alt-f1 to Alt-f12 when active.
By default the first 8 consoles are activated for login in /etec/ttys.
(When inside X you need Ctl-Alt-f1 etc. otherwise the combination gets
captured by X)

 you use the key combination Alt-Ctrl-F1 to Alt-Ctrl-F8,
 or Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F8 (the latter ones do not work if you want
 to switch to screen 0-8 while you are in your desktop
 environment or window manager).

Alt-f1 etc; not Ctl-f1 etc.

 If you started X-window,by using a window manager
 or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen
 #10 (you can change the virtual screens in the /etc/ttys file).

X usually starts on the first inactive virtual terminal, which usually is  
/dev/ttyv8. If started through ttys then it actually ignores the virtual 
terminal number in the entry.
In this case you switch to the X display with Ctl-Alt-f9 or simply Alt-f9.

Virtual consoles not otherwise active can be used for input/output
consoles for your own programs.

2003-11-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On my previous reply message,the line

reads
...If you started X-window,by using a window manager
or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen
#9
The 1st virtual screen is stty0,so the 10th is stty9,
the default one allocated to X sessions.
That's why you will use Ctrl-F10 while on another screen
to resume X session's screen (10th:stty9).

Re: DHCP

2003-11-15 Thread Rob
A couple of things:

The range statement is for unknown clients - they will be given a lease
in this range by the server. It doesn't control the host definition,
which will use the address in the fixed-address statement.

The host definition would normally go inside the subnet definition - at
the moment, it's not going to get the netmask or router options.

Any errors in the dhcpd.conf will be mentioned in /var/log/messages when
the service starts up.

Hope that helps

Problems Installing Printer with CUPS

2003-11-15 Thread Barry Skidmore
I am using FreeBSD-4.9-RELEASE on an i386 machine with cups-1.1.19.

I have tried to add a networked HP JetDirect LaserJet printer using both
the cups web interface, and using gnome-cups-manager from the ports
collection.  In both cases, when I reach the final step in adding the
printer I receive an Internal Server Error message, and the printer is
not added.

In doing a Google search, I have found that many others have reported
this same error, but so far I have not found a solution.

Any help is appreciated.

RE: Another Newbie Question: C or C++

2003-11-15 Thread Gaston Benitez
first of all, sorry by my English

I am agree with people who says take courseworks, and those who say learn
your self, I did both, but first I had to learn on my own, and that´s really
a very, very hard task to do! ;) and I only recomend it if you are some kind
of Indiana Jones and have time enought to dedicate it . The benefits of self
teaching I found, were the goals. The first time I made a pointer works were
the hapiest day of my life!!! and the first program I made can you imagine!?
:)
Another thing to point to is the fact that someone who learns on his/her
own, has a more accurate knowledge regarding errors mesages, time compiling
messg, and almost any kind of the most strange errors messg that never occur
on the real life !! :)

I really like self teaching, altough every time I can, I take as much
courses as possible.

I learnt many things in that way, the first people who showed me Linux said
three things
That´s the way you get in
That´s the way you get out
That´s the way you get help!
Now I at the same time I´m using Linux, I use FreeBSD too.

By the way... now I´m dedicating time to asm.
That´s really, really hard!!

Subject: Re: Another Newbie Question: C or C++


 
  I would recommend not trying to learn C or C++ by yourself from a book.
  The fastest (and best way) to learn the right stuff is to take
coursework
  from a university or community college.
 
  If the courses are any good, you'll get feedback, and you'll be paced
  and challenged with projects designed to help you learn.
  
  Going it alone in an unguided environment will only familiarize you
  the lesser aspects of a language, if you last that long. The difficult
  and most important aspects of the language (like pointers, virtual
  functions, references) will become almost insurmountable
trial-and-error
  obstacles if you try to teach yourself.

 This is a good point.  The person who takes a class should (prividing the
 class is well done) be guided through the whole range of the language.
 Whereas someone learning on their own just picks up the pieces they
 need at the moment and then fixates on those parts and doesn't go on
 to learn the whole range of the language.

  If you want to get a lower paying and boring job programming in C/C++
for
  whatever reason and have a piece of paper that says you can have that
job, I
  recommend wasting 4-6 months taking a course in your spare time to learn
  C/C++. If you want to be top of your game and learn C/C++ without
wasting
  time on topics that take you a minute to understand, get a good book,
  practice the topics you have learned at your own pace, get numorous code
  examples for things you may want to do (sockets, GUI, OpenGL, ncurses,
  threading, kernel interfacing) from the glorious and infinite internet
and
  emulate good programming style (using const qualifiers in C++, using
  #defines in C, etc.). Also be prepared to teach yourself because you may
not
  always be prepared for a job you may find yourself with; learn how to
easily
  learn and use external libraries.

 The only really valuable thing from this flame is the implication that
 you must go on and keep using the new learning and add to it from
 man sources.   It is not a waste of time to learn it right from the start.

  The best programmers will teach themselves. A statement that may be on
the
  borderline of opinion to fact by constant example. After all the first
  programmer, in fact, taught herself.

 And it was a lifelong mistake-filled iterative process.   If the material
 was already there in the beginning as it is for C, C++, Fortran, Assembly,
 etc, then that lifelong process could have started at a higher level of
 understanding and moved on from their instead of having to spend so
 many years of rummaging around at the primative levels.

 Mostly, I am just responding to the making of a sweeping generalization
 that may apply to a very few, but for the most is meaningless.  It seems
 to take a narrow viewpoint to make up a flame.

Actually, your FreeBSD install can use both the new drive and the free  
space on the original drive, but if you'd rather have 40GB to use on  
something else, that's fine.

If you install FreeBSD (or at least the root partition) on the new drive  
and you use FreeBSD's bootloader, be sure to install the bootloader on  
*both* drives.

There are instructions regarding how to dual boot using the Windows  
bootloader in the FAQ at the FreeBSD web site.  I have always found the  
instructions for doing this with both OSs on one drive easier to  
understand than the instructions for two drives, but your experience may  
be different.

Other available free bootloaders include the abovementioned XOSL, Grub  
from the FreeBSD ports system, and the one I'm using now (after having  
tried all the above except XOSL), GAG, which is very easy and automagic.

I start it up by doing
