It's not exactly what someone who is used to windowing environments would call a GUI IDE, but it can do the following: - Edit the source code (with syntax highlighting if need be) - Compile (with the hit of a single key, once configured) - Parse compiler output and move to the file/line of an error, then to the next error, etc. - Interactively debug C, C++, Perl, Python, or LISP programs, line by line -- working as a control program for GNU gdb and that's only a minor subset of the features it has.

This is probably an effect of the default value of ``compile-command''. What do you see if you type: M-: (list compile-command) RET should be (make -k). By customizing this variable, or setting it to a local value when C++ code is edited, you should be able to make the menu entry invoke any command you find more useful. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: vrele: negative ref cnt
When I turn off the computer by halt, halt -p or something else, usually it shows kernel panic with vrele: negative ref cnt. What should I do? I'm using FreeBSD 5.4-p7. Try updating to -stable, or try the 6.0 beta. If the problem persists, follow the advice in the chapter on kernel debugging in the developers handbook. Kris Thank for your advice. I will try updating, but I think that the problem is with the hard disk. It occurs only when device of file system which is being unmounted has read errors.

Re: Bash Pattern Matching Syntax
I want to list the files in a directory that end in .jpg irregardless
of case. Thus after reading the bash man page, it seems I should be
able to issue a command something along the lines of ls [*.[JjPpGg]]
or ls *.[JjPpGg] but neither of these work and return a No such file
or directory message. I've also tried various ways of escaping the
'*' and '. but that didn't help either. However ls *[JjPpGg] does
work by listing the files. However I want to match the . before jpg
as well. What is the correct syntax for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
Drew
ls *.{JPG,jpg}
or
ls *.{J,j}{P,p}{G,g}

problems running mixxx (direct rendering, segfault)
Yesterday I installed mixxx and managed to start it, but only as root. Then i got this message: Direct rendering is not enabled in your machine. This means that the waveform displays will be very slow and take a lot of CPU time. Either upgrade your configuration to enable direct rendering or disable the waveform displays in the control panel by selecting Simple under waveform displays. NOTE: In case you run NVidia hardware direct rendering may not be present, but you will not experience a degradation in performance. I tried selecting simple but it said that the changes will take effect only after I restart the program and since it started everytime like the first time it was back to the normal waveform again. Also the sound was hacking. I don't know if this was because of the waveform-thing. If it's something else then I have another problem. Today it won't start from root etiher. I get the same text as when I'm ordinary: Debug: Starting up... Debug: MidiObjectOSS: No MIDI devices available.

If you just want traffic enabled so that when users are browsing the web they get the replies from their requests, that rule is written as: ipfw add ### allow ip from any to any established The rule won't allow new traffic in or out without other rules enabling it. An example ruleset could look like this: ipfw add 100 allow ip from me to any ipfw add 200 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any out via dc0 ipfw add 300 allow ip from any to any established ipfw add 400 deny ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to me in via dc0 ipfw add 500 allow ip from any to any via sk0 In this example, I'm assuming your FreeBSD machine is the network gateway.

Maybe called Balance? You might also make sure that the connector on the actual sound card going to your speakers/headphones is plugged in all the way. I know if mine is only halfway in then I only hear one channel. As for CD audio not playing, have you made sure that the audio connector is connected from your CD drive to your sound card?

Ugh. :-) IPFW knows how to increment rule numbers all by itself; you can get rid of the rulenum1=`expr $rulenum1 + 50` stuff.

Now for the new issues: I have not used KDE in a long time but I do know that their aRTs daemon takes over sound. Are there any settings showing the left and right channels that you can adjust? Maybe called Balance? You might also make sure that the connector on the actual sound card going to your speakers/headphones is plugged in all the way. I know if mine is only halfway in then I only hear one channel. As for CD audio not playing, have you made sure that the audio connector is connected from your CD drive to your sound card? It could be that, or the mixer levels in aRTs are muted or not raised for CD's. As far as I can see, the only thing present in my system to make audio adjustments is Kmix. Very simple compared to Alsamixer in Mandriva. It does not have any sort of balance or individual controls for left and right channels, but for example, only slider for volume. I have now compiled my kernel and included support for audio. It came out without it, as the generic kernel. I'd better make another post and explain in more detail, as it is a different issue.

The default increment should be 100, and it is controlled by: Automatic rule numbers are assigned by incrementing the last non- default rule number by the value of the sysctl variable net.inet.ip.fw.autoinc_step which defaults to 100. If this is not possible (e.g. because we would go beyond the maximum allowed rule number), the number of the last non-default value is used instead.

I'm calling the functions for basic components, rather than writing the whole thing out each time. Large-scale firewall deployments (think Cisco Enterprise Manager, or Edition, or whatever it's called) use such techniques to manage hundreds or thousands of firewalls, but they have several weaknesses, in particular the central distribution server becomes a target, which, if compromised, can then be used to compromise all of the firewall boxes pulling down rulesets. One of the whole reasons for setting up multiple firewalls and multiple rulesets is to obtain defense in depth. Using a central config mechanism contradicts that design intention. Therefore, I am convinced that a firewall ought to be self-contained in terms of enforcing a security policy, and should have as little dependence on any other host as practical, none at all, if possible. Other opinions are possible, but Microsoft's domain-aware firewall and proxy box is a good example of what this can lead to. You could chain several ports together into a list rather than listing them all seperately as individual rules, IPFW will end up doing less work. Is this a 'good' way to do things? The server in this instance has really nothing else to do, save serving up a couple website with low traffic. It's more efficient from the standpoint of IPFW workload, but if the traffic volume is low, go with whatever design seems the easiest to work with and understand. I find something like this: # block all NetBIOS, domain-server, UPnP traffic add deny log tcp from any to any 135-139,445,5000 ...to be more clear than 4 seperate lines, YMMV. You have anti-spoofing for the lookback, lo0 interface, but not for your other interfaces. You should add anti-spoofing rules, and also block strict and loose source routing [1]: Point taken.

Can you share more information? # Stop strict and loose source routing add deny log all from any to any ipoptions ssrr add deny log all from any to any ipoptions lsrr Sure. In the early days of TCP/IP networking, people didn't always have conventions like default routes and routers which could figure out where to send traffic for any destination, so there is a mechanism for routing traffic directly, hop by hop, which supercedes the normal behavior of routers and many firewalls. It conceptually resembles the bang-path notation used for UUCP email before SMTP email using domains via DNS was available. It can be used to pretend that traffic from outside your network came from an inside IP, or from the firewall itself, which often lets that traffic go through. In practice nowadays, the LSR and SSR options are pretty much *only* used for malicious traffic, except once in a while by people writing a TCP/IP stack who are testing the option handling code.

Hello, My box (5.4 Stable) has taken to crashing when I do a make index (in /usr/ports) after a cvsup ports upgrade. I think the problem may be down to overheating as it only does this when the server is put under considerable stress (I take it that make index is stressful on the PC) and has done it before when I was doing some data manipulation which stressed it for an hour or so. After that I added some cooling which solved the problem...until now. My question is do I need to repair the index if the box crashes while making it? If so how do I do it. I read on google that 5.x doesnt need to make index in the same way as 4.x did so I am safe by not running the command?

My question is whether I should stick to the same driver or I should use another driver in the 5.4 install. Any feedback will be appreciated. Teilhard. Hi. Check out: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html It's device sound in 5.x instead of device pcm. Obviously then add in support for your specific sound card with the documentation provided there. Hope that helps. :) It helped a lot. I issued the command kldload sound in my original kernel, and loaded the module snd_ich. I have sound now when I click on test sound in the sound section of the CC and on starting a KDE session. Problem is, I only get sound through the right hand side and I get nothing when trying to play a CD. Any ideas? Teilhard. Glad you got it working. Now for the new issues: I have not used KDE in a long time but I do know that their aRTs daemon takes over sound. Are there any settings showing the left and right channels that you can adjust? Maybe called Balance? You might also make sure that the connector on the actual sound card going to your speakers/headphones is plugged in all the way. I know if mine is only halfway in then I only hear one channel. As for CD audio not playing, have you made sure that the audio connector is connected from your CD drive to your sound card? It could be that, or the mixer levels in aRTs are muted or not raised for CD's. As far as I can see, the only thing present in my system to make audio adjustments is Kmix. Very simple compared to Alsamixer in Mandriva. It does not have any sort of balance or individual controls for left and right channels, but for example, only slider for volume. I have now compiled my kernel and included support for audio. It came out without it, as the generic kernel. I'd better make another post and explain in more detail, as it is a different issue.

Re: Crash When make index - Repair Needed?
Richard Collyer wrote: Hello, My box (5.4 Stable) has taken to crashing when I do a make index (in /usr/ports) after a cvsup ports upgrade. I think the problem may be down to overheating as it only does this when the server is put under considerable stress (I take it that make index is stressful on the PC) and has done it before when I was doing some data manipulation which stressed it for an hour or so. After that I added some cooling which solved the problem...until now. My question is do I need to repair the index if the box crashes while making it? If so how do I do it. I read on google that 5.x doesnt need to make index in the same way as 4.x did so I am safe by not running the command? Cheers Richard Sounds like a case for make fetchindex, in which your box will download INDEX-5 from a freebsd.org server instead of building it from scratch.

default routing question ZIPB ADSL PPPoA
The short : I believe the problem I am having is due to routing. A DHCP server sends me IP A.B.C.D with a default route of A.B.C.D. dhclient isn't handling this well and I don't know how to fix it. Windows as well as Linux DHCP clients do not have a problem with this and I am at my wits end trying to figure out what combination of route commands will fix my issue. The long : I have a CellPipe ADSL router/bridge from Lucent. This device is provided by our ISP. I am exploring the ZIPB functionality of the device to allow my FreeBSD host to own the public IP. The basics of the configuration for those unfamiliar is as follows. PPPoA is established by the device and the the (public) IP acquired through the previous process is delivered to a host behind that CellPipe via DHCP. After DHCP the device acts as a bridge, allowing the internal device to use the public IP as its own. I'm sure this description is vague but I don't know any other way to explain. Info : After dhclient acquires its info the ethernet interface looks like this ifconfig ethernet interface – inet A.B.C.D netmask 255.255.255.255http://255.255.255.255/ When I connect a windows or Linux host they seem to treat the interface as the default route and work as expected. With FreeBSD I have tried removing all routes for the device after assignment, and then adding default route based on -interface flag for route command. I have also tried opening up the netmask on the ethernet interface and adding a default route destined for what I know the PPPoA connections end point is. Nothing I have tried seems to work. I don't consider myself an expert by any means but this is clearly beyond my knowledge. I'm happy to provide any information you need it you have an idea.

Yours,Mohsen You do not specify which bind(), accept(), and socket() you are talking about, so I will assume you mean the system calls. They first appeared in 4.2BSD, which was released in August 1983. (This is NOT the same thing as FreeBSD 4.2.) This was the first unix to have TCP/IP built in. The following month, September 1983, Richard Stallman started the GNU project. By the way, FreeBSD 1.0 was released in December 1993. Linux 1.0 was released in March 1994; but the first version of Linux, 0.01, was released in August 1991. HTH, stheg __ Yahoo!
