Re: freebsd has problems with bios
The bios has 4 modes auto, large, lba, chs in which to access the hard disk. I ttried all 4 modes and it doesn't solve the problem. No, i didn't say to try different bios modes. I said (which fdisk also says) that you should: 1. Go into the bios, see what it reports as the CHS 2. Reboot (i thought this part was a given to get back to Fdisk) 3. When you get up to the fdisk section, enter the CHS value given to you by the bios using the g key, and writing it manually. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
6.0-rc1 problems with aliased interface
Hi, I've just migrated from 5.4 to 6.0-rc1 (to make wireless work through ndisgen... and it did :), but now I'm having a problem with dhcp. I'm googling now for some solution, the problem is (it seems not to be a problem, just a lot of /etc changes I will have to get used to): I cannot have the same interface to take its data from the dhcp server AND at the same time to take an alias address, with 5.4 i had: ifconfig_vr1=DHCP ifconfig_vr1_alias0=inet 192.168.0.1/24 in /etc/rc.conf. I understand that we've changed dhclient, so i ran /etc/rc.d/netif restart and I get the same problem, dmesg -a says: Oct 13 03:03:41 chiba dhclient[978]: connection closed Oct 13 03:03:41 chiba dhclient[978]: exiting. and then, I lose the configuration for the interface, any help would be fine, i keep on reading anyway, thanks ppl, you're the best ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Adding new pccard device entries to FreeBSD 6, how?

Geom Mirror/FS corruption problem
Well I managed to create the problem myself, but I'm going to need some help to fix it, if it can be fixed. Have a i386 5.4 box with a geom mirror. Been running fine for a few months. Determined to ruin BSD's reputation for stability, I removed 'swapoff=yes' from rc.conf. A few reboots later, I install the dovecot port, and notice that even though I changed one of the config files, it's still reading the default settings. Played with that and rebooted a few more times. Noticed clamav and mysql weren't starting at boot anymore. Clamav was complaining about permissions on the log files and the definition databases. Checked permissions, everything looked ok. chown clamav:clamav and chmod 777 out of frustration and still nothing. make deinstall on the port and deleted all remnants. make install, same problem. Seems my mirror is out of sync or something. Ran fsck -f a few times, no complaints. Forced a rebuild of the mirror overnite. Still having the same issues. Is this fixable or is it hosed? I'm leaning towards the later =/. TIA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

couldn't see if you got an answer to this but I just found out that you can do it (in fedora/xfce anyway) You select text you want to copy in xterm, move focus to where you want to paste it and then press mouse button 5 on my logitech mouse, so just press all mouse buttons on your mouse, one will probably/possibly (at a guess) paste text. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Wayne, can you post your kernel config file, or tell us what devices you're using for sound and the wireless nic? My wireless nic is an Intel 2200BG, I don't know if they're the same for all D800's, mine is only about a year old. Thanks, Bob Well, my wireless nic is a DELL TrueMobile 1300 (it's a rebranded Broadcom card, I think), and the audio is a SigmaTel STAC9750/51 AC97 Codec. At least, that's what dmesg is telling me about my sound card, and since I'm listening to music right now I can only assume it's right. In order to get the audio working, I had to add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: snd_ich_load=YES My wireless nic is an 802.11b/g card, and in order to get it to work, I had to go the Project Evil route. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html That gets the device up and running, but you also have to figure out what your ssid is and set that using ifconfig for ndis0. But, heh, but doing a quick search to find out where to specify ssid in configuration options to make it pick that up automatically on boot, I ran across this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html I get the impression that you might want to try this first. It looks like it might be a bit more specific to your hardware. Hope this helps!

One of the diagnostic steps that the FAQ mentions is to trace the instruction pointer. My assumption was that if the system was going to give me a message like that, I'd see it before the POST, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't need to be looking for that message in a log somewhere, or changing a configuration option somewhere to make the system generate an error message of that form, because I definitely don't see that before the POST.

The RFC suggests sending out bare FIN packets, but it is not required, and it is more efficient to set the FIN in the last data packet you need to send to flush the queue before closing, resulting in a FIN+ACK packet rather than two packets.

gmirror insert question
I can't seem to get gmirror insert to work. I have these partitions /dev/ad8s2d and /dev/ad10s2d that I want to mirror (among others). I did as follows (from single user mode): $ gmirror label -v -b load var /dev/ad8s2d $ gmirror insert var ad10s2d But ad10s2d fails to synchronize (error 1), and the mirror stays degraded (even though there's only 1 partition in it; isn't that a bit odd?). The exact output is (typed over from the console): GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Adding disk ad10s2d to var. GEOM_MIRROR[0]: Provider ad10s2d detected. GEOM_MIRROR[0]: Device var: rebuilding provider ad10s2d.

Re: tcp_fsm.h: sending FIN or FIN+ACK in Closing state

So long as you've received all of the sent data up through the FIN from the other side, and so long as you drain any unsent traffic on your side, it doesn't matter whether you send a FIN+ACK with the last data traffic or whether you ACK without a FIN, and then send a bare FIN seperately. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NFS hangs (client) when rebooted server tries to [re]mount filesystem
All, I'm seeing an odd problem while using a FreeBSD system as a Solaris jumpstart system. If I run a client box through the process, its fine the first time. However, if there is an error, or I'm testing, subsequent passes hang up right around the time it should be trying to do an NFS mount. Rebooting the server (FreeBSD 5.4) and restarting the jumpstart process on the client cleans the issue up, and it runs through again (once) fine. Upon running showmount localhost after a good pass, I see that the server is registered, even after its been booted, powered off for some time, etc. I expect this is because its not properly doing a unmount. However, the registration can persist for days. I don't have the lock or stat daemons running (didn't see a need), but that may be next on my things to do. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a way to flush this list, or see what may be causing the client to lock up? I've seen the notes in the bootparams file about setting up an all-0s alias for SunOS broadcast, and have done that, as well.

Watchdog timeouts and motherboard
I have been getting watchdog timeouts on one of my computers with FreeBSD versions greater than 5.2.1-RELEASE. It originally had an old nic (dc0) but I switched to a Netgear FA311 (sis0) but I still get watchdog timeouts. When I boot with an install cd/floppies I tell it to configure for DHCP, but in the second terminal I get some watchdog timeouts, then it puts me into the configure screen without ip address/etc filled in. When I input the values by hand it still doesn't work. The cards themselves are fine as far as I know, because they work alright in linux. Putting the nic in a different PCI slot didn't seem to help either. There was a post on freebsd-hackers, I think, that had a patch for some kernel code to fix this or a similar problem, but that didn't help. Could this problem have anything to do with the motherboard? Should I try updating the bios?

2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 monitors with 1 PC; possible?
Hi, I'm using 5-Stable right now.

But how about the keyboards and mice? Should that be one keyboard/mouse pair as PS/2, and a second pair as USB? How would that be detected and controlled?

sh Scripting - String Manipulation
I'm working on a script that reads a directory using 'find' and its '-exec' primary to create a symlink to the file. So for example, I have the following command: find /multimedia/Pictures -iname *.jpg -print This command returns a bunch of filenames. Here's an example of one: /multimedia/Pictures/2005 Kimberly Rich/IMG_1210.JPG What I'd like to is get '-exec' to run this command: ln -s /multimedia/Pictures/2005 Kimberly Rich/IMG_1210.JPG 2005 Kimberly Rich/IMG_1210.JPG What is the best way to manipulate this string? And then what is the right syntax for -exec? I'm an extreme newbie when it comes to shell scripting. Will this work? Are the better ways to do this than using find.

The easiest way I've found is to simply change into /multimedia/Pictures
before running find, then refer ln back to your original directory.
Say that you want the links to be made inside /home/drew . Instead of running
find from their, do:
$ cd /multimedia/Pictures
$ find -iname '*.jpg' -exec ln -s {} /home/drew

Re: FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE / 6.0 audio drivers for Intel 82801FB/FR/FW/FRW Intel High Deficition Audio Controller
After spending a few years with FreeBSD, you'll learn to actually check if a piece of hardware is supported before buying it. One of the most popular points against FreeBSD is hardware support. Taking into account the fact that many local PC/server vendors try to assemble boxes using bleeding-edge hardware, and most people blindly buy it, there's no wonder to that. I dunno... I gotta disagree. I've been with FreeBSD for 5 years now and this is the first time I've ever found it not supporting some hardware. I had eventually come to the conclusion that FreeBSD seems to support EVERYTHING under the sun, and that people who thought otherwise were just going on outdated info.

Strange problem with MacOS 9 and isc-dhcpd
I realize this is probably not really a FreeBSD question, but I was hoping someone had seen this before. I am running isc-dhcpd 3.0.1.r14_6 on a FreeBSD 4.11-REL machine. This box also serves as the primary gateway router and firewall (and general network services machine). All of my *nix and Windows machines get IP's just fine from the DHCP server, but for some reason, my G3 Mac running Mac OS 9.2.2 won't get its reserved address. Although I use DHCP, I have assigned each machine (MAC address) a fixed IP DNS entry. The DHCP server is to simplify maintenance. So, for example, the file server uses DHCP, but is always mapped to 192.168.1.2. The Mac, however, is either refused, or refuses to take its preset address, and ends up obtaining one in the guest pool. I can upgrade to Mac OS X.2, but have been hesitant, as this is an older machine with only built-in video. I also hate to sink any more money into such an old system. I could just statically map the address, but that would defeat the purpose of the DHCP server - which was to avoid hardcoding network settings. Is there a way to sweet talk either the DHCP server, or the Mac, into taking the reserved address?

For now, try: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade # make install If it fails, post the errors here, please # cvsup -g -L 2 your-ports-supfile # portsdb -uUF # portversion -l\ Show's what's outdated # portupgrade -arR Tries to upgrade what's outdated ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: dvdauthor on 5.4
Dave wrote: Hello, I'm trying to make a dvd video under 5.4 on an i386 system. When i give the command: dvdauthor -o outputdir -t filename.mpg i get a core dump. This has happened twice and i'm hoping it is not a sign of failing memory as this box has expensive ram. Basically i'm trying to make a dvd video out of two files, one video being an .avi file the other an .mpg file, neither is working. Thanks. Dave. You might try man dvdauthor or Google for dvdauthor documentation. The function of dvdauthor is to take MPEG-2 PS files and turn them into a format that you can write to a DVD. This means that you can't use AVI files with dvdauthor. You must first convert those avi's to the proper MPEG-2 PS format. For this I use a GUI tool on my desktop machine called Avidemux. You could also use ffmpeg or mencoder though. Once you have it in MPEG-2 PS, THEN you use dvdauthor to make the DVD video files. An example command would be: % dvdauthor -f filename.mpg -o DVD -t I don't think this core dumping has to do with RAM. I think the program is just crashing when you give it invalid input files. If you do get proper MPEG-2 files into dvdauthor and it still dumps like that, I would contact the dvdauthor people and help them debug it. I run dvdauthor on 5.4 (amd64) without any problems. -Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
