Moving from -CURRENT to 5.2.1 Release
Hi all Just a quick question, as it was posted on the list nvidia has released some new drivers, i've yet to try these drivers but at the moment im having to use -CURRENT to be able to get the previous release to work properly and they did very well. I rebuilt my world/kernel with -CURRENT and then my software, xorg, gnome 2.6 etc. My questions is, everything ive compiled was with gcc 3.4.x thats in -CURRENT if i downgrade to 5.2.1 Release will this cause any problems with the software i compiled with the newer gcc. Reasons being for changing as i dont like being that much on the bleeding edge as im just a user not a developer, saying that thou these new drivers might not work out for me and i may end up going back to -CURRENT, as i had the libpthread libr_c problem and had to map them with libmap.conf Anyway any opinions please as im going to do this tonight and if it means it will screw things up i might just reinstall. Thanks Again Glyn ps i have posted this before but i forgot the subject line, very sorry about that. -- *-* | Glyn Tebbutt |[EMAIL PROTECTED] | |--' http://homepage.ntlworld.com/d3c3it | |Lisa, if you dont like your job you dont strike, | | You just go in everyday and do it really half-assed | | Thats the American way. -Homer Simpson | *-* ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: filesystem full on install
it was written: However, when it starts to install, it fails saying the filesystem is full. This can't be. It's a 40Gb drive. I started by overwriting my hd using a utility called boot and nuke. Then I allocated the whole thing to freebsd and made that partition bootable. Then in disklabel, I hit a to do a default setup. I've tried several different things in disklabel and I wipe my disk clean between each try and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Hello, This seems to be the nub of your problem. The message saying the filesystem is full means the partition is full, not the harddrive. Make sure the drive's geometry and that reported in disklabel agree. I think you should start over and use the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html as a guide, particularly section 2.5.5. As to the problem with the router and intermittent failures to connect, that sounds like TCP/IP problem. The fact it seemingly goes away is very odd. Make sure you're not using an IP address already assigned to some other interface (and may as well that your subnet mask, hostname, and DNS address are correct, too).

SATA drive bootable ???
Hi! I just started playing around with my new SATA disk (with SATA 150 TX2plus controller on -CURRENT). I can mount and format it all-right. Is it generally posssible to boot from such a disk (different question would be if it made sense to do so)? My SATA drive is recognized as ata2-master.

Kernel Hacking (symbol not Found)
Hi, I am studying the kernel source of FreeBSD. I like to know the flow of packets from NIC to different modules of Kernel and then to the user-level. I studied the code and identified some of the functions through which the kernel handles network packets. But I want to check from where the control goes to that function... So I decided to debug the kernel since I have only one machine I am not checking for kgdb I decided to work with DDB so compiled the kernel with option DDB and with debugging enabled (-g option). After installing the new kernel I rebooted the system and in the boot prompt I gave -d option to enter the debugging module. My problem is that I can't provide any breakpoints with this method... It gives me error saying symbol not found.

Responding to 2 or 3 lists using a valid e-mail address means that I receive a lot of spam including much with unresolvable addresses. have a look at mail/filtermail I've just downloaded this port and find it quite interesting. However it seems not to offer very much in this particular case as the criteria used are similar to those used by my ISP to reject mail -- I'm able to set the level. But I don't see a way of getting filtermail to reject based on domain name resolution. Others have pointed out that spam filtering in fetchmail can be used to delete mail based on the error code returned by sendmail. It seems it might also be reasonable to change sendmail.cf to issue a 553 error in place of the 451 as the 553 invoking messages are deleted by fetchmail by default. No need. Assuming you do want to reject (trash) the email you can specify multiple return codes to fetchmail. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fwiw, it's only once I got decent ram that I was able to diagnose defective L2 cache. Not that I want to worry you mind! Remember that gcc and bzip are excellent torture tests.

memory usage question
Hi, I have a question about usage of memory. Despite the well documented articles about it some things are still unclear. In top we see memory devided in several items: Active, inactive, buffered, wired and free. The active memory is clear, it's what is in use by programs now. Wired mem is also clear, it's for the kernel data structs. When a program ends, the mem is put in the inactive part right? So when the program is run 10 minutes after it can be started very quickly, also because the data used from the disk of that program is still in the cache part right? However, suppose the program isnt run in 2 hours, will there be a timeout in the parts which are being put in inactive and in cache? Suppose the timeout has occured, will the mem be added to free mem or? What is the difference between buffered mem and cached mem? Both represent data which is recently being called from the disk, so that next time when the file is called again, no disk access, needs to be made in order to save time right? However, suppose i have little mem free, say 7 mb and still 200 in inactive. Then a program needs to start which needs say 30 mb on mem, will also mem be taken from the inactive part and discard the cache? Some ppl only look at how much free mem is available on their system and then sound the alarm, however, shouldnt they add inactive and free together in order to see how much mem can be used for newly used programs (which didnt run before?).

Hi I don't know about the controller but in general this should work. Just make proper adjustments in your BIOS. I'm booting FreeBSD from an SATA RAID0. Works perfectly fine.

I'm sure there's got to be someway to make this a little more seamless
then running # xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`pwd` everytime, but I'm just not good enough
with shell programming to know how to do this.
The closest I came was writing a small bash script that does:
for filename in /dev/ttyp*; do
/usr/local/bin/xtset [EMAIL PROTECTED]:`pwd` $filename
done
And thought about cron'ing it (every minute), but the problem is that
when I tested this, all my xterms get the same title/icon based on who
is running the script and where at the time. No good :(
(And of course this would be useless to update the titles/icons for
xterms that are remote shells (ssh).
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Prelude-IDS questions
I've been wanting to get Prelude-IDS up and running for a while but just haven't had/made the time to do so until now. I was going through the documentation at http://www.prelude-ids.org/article.php3?id_article=6 and they make a couple of references that I have some questions about... 1) They reference prelude-php-frontend but that doesn't exist in the ports tree anywhere. I can't find the package on their page either. Does anyone have any experience with it?? If not I'll contact the Prelude-IDS developers to get more info. 2) They also reference a prelude-manager-db-create.sh script located in the prelude-manager directory but I'm not seeing the script. It looks like the only thing it does (according to the documentation) is create a DB in mySQL, create a user and give the user permissions but I'm wondering if there is something else that is being done. I'd appreciate any help from anyone with experience out there. Also, the prelude-ids port is listed as maintained by [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I was wondering what protocol is for contacting that address?? Do I just e-mail the address or should I contact the list first??

Re: 802.1x
I'm not trying to offend anyone by bumping this, but I'm actually pretty desperate to know what the status is. Surely I'm not the only person to need 802.1x authentication over wireless on a FreeBSD box? :) Anyways, again, sorry for the bumpage, but I have another complete day off and if I can find out that FreeBSD doesn't support it yet, I'm going to try and spend this time finding an alternative solution. If, however, support will be added soon, I won't reformat and I'll just go without net access for a while at school. Regards... (original message below, sent about 15hrs ago) - I will be attending college in a few weeks. The network at this uni requires 802.1x authentication over wireless connections. I've scoured google all over and discovered Open1x--which has openly dropped all BSD support --and a guy who has ported Open1x, but only on wired connections. I'm a decent programmer in some regards, but not so much C/system code, so it's not like I could just make the neccesary adjustments and recompile. :) Is 802.1x supported on FreeBSD yet? I know I can build open1x on a Linux box, but that is my ABSOLUTE LATE resort. I really want to keep using FreeBSD, but if I can't access the school's network I won't be able to continue doing so.

Getting CUPS configured on FreeBSD
I set up CUPS over a year ago and got it to work partially. I've been wrestling it again and I've read all the CUPS docs and tutorials on varios Linux sites. I have an HP560C (which needs LF to CR/LF translation) on parallel port /dev/lpt0. If anyone has a HP manual on the 560C, I'd like to know the definitions for the two switch banks on the front of the printer. I'm pretty sure one of those switches will enable auto LF to CR/LF translation. Originally, I used only CUPS software and I can print from various X apps (I use mostly KDE apps). I want to also be able to print from a shell, but all I get is some garbage. Do I need to use cups-lpd? I tried, but it didn't print anything intelligable (is that spelt right?). I've manipulated/authored printcap entries before, but CUPS took over that file anyway. A year ago, I noticed that CUPS web interface wouldn't let me choose a parallel port unless the printer was turned on before I booted. Now it doesn't allow me to specify a parallel port at all. But I CAN hand-edit /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf and set it to a valid parallel URI. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This may help with your X issues: http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse5.html#22 Yes, been through all of that and more. Nothing worked. In the meantime I've connected it up anyway as a 3 button mouse and decided I really don't like it; the buttons are far too heavy in their action, and it's difficult to move it sideways without pressing one of the side buttons. So this is not much of an issue any more. Can anybody recommend a good mouse? My criteria are: - Middle button easy to use. The current crop of mice has the middle button integrated with the roller, and that makes the middle button either heavy or easy to confuse with the roller. - Preferably cordless. Cord mice tend to wander a little when you let go of them, and that's a real nuisance on a high-resolution display. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

The locally running apache logs successful requests for the files, but their atimes are not updated. Just checked -- the file was last downloaded 13 minutes ago, but all of the three time-stamps (according to stat(1)) point to many hours back... My guess on this would be that Apache is caching the file and has only actually loaded it from disk once.

[OT] VPN issues with some windows users...
Hello all, I'm sorry this is a bit off-topic, but you're the only truly knowledgable group I know. ;) Some fellow users and I have been having some issues connecting to a Cisco VPN system with the built-in windows VPN software. While successfully connected to the internet (at home, for example), I connect to the remote VPN. Instantly, my internet connectivity seems to be lost, but I can use the VPN perfectly fine. As soon as I disconnect, my internet connectivity is completely restored. I have a second VPN I connect to using V-One's SmartPass software, and I have no issues (i.e. everything works perfectly, including my 'net connection). Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
Hey, does anybody know of any useful tricks for automating xtset or
xtermset?
I use xtset to set the title and icon labels to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:path so I can
keep track of my xterms littered all over my desktop (pretty frequent! :)
But it sure would be nice to have them updated whenever I 'cd' to
another directory or 'su' to another user or 'ssh' to another host!
[ ... ]
I've got a slight problem with having the host/directory/etc on the
title bar. It will help clear my zsh right-prompt, of course.
But how do you set the title bar *back* to the name of the xterm?
(My xterms are titled Mail, Net, Hacking, Scratch, and so
forth.) Is there a way of using xtset/xtermset to retrieve the
-n Name??
Hm, not sure. I just started with xtset myself this morning when I
decided I was getting sick of having 10 xterm windows all over my lawn
with the name 'xterm'. I never gave descriptive labels since I'm most
often ssh'd into other boxes and am more interested in where I am.
Maybe, depending on how you start each xterm (icon/shortcut), you could
set a variable name (XTNAME=Mail) for each one, then run:
# xtset `echo $XTNAME`
But now, since I hammered out that little cd() function for .bashrc, I
found another little problem:
If I su to another user (for instance, su - root), the title changes
as long as the other account has my the function in .bashrc, but when I
exit, the title still has the old credentials (example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)
until I cd somewhere again. Sigh.
Cheers,
Duane
