To make matters worse, it appears that the hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature value that is being returned is 5 to 10 degrees higher than what BIOS thinks (I am inclined to believe the BIOS on this one). I can change the CPU fan speed settings in the BIOS. It has pretty extensive control of this, with the default setting of SMART FAN where it controls fan speed based on CPU temperature. Unfortunately, in that mode the hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature slews to 60C (while BIOS reads below 50C) before the fan has sped up enough. I can also set the fan speed control to fixed, relatively higher values, but the fan noise is then bothersome. So, anyone know where the 60C value for hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT is derived from and how to change it?

I tried many research on the net but could not find anything useful. I am now installing apsfilter but ask you for some help during the compilation process. Thank you. --- So now I installed apsfilter and had to choose a driver. I tested Canon BJC-800 and two or three from the BJC-8200 (said mostly compatible). Ok, I got a printed output, but my printers needs approx. 5 minutes for a simple plain text page. That is quite painfuly slow, isn't it ? I even tried the turboprint driver, but got nothing whith it. So at that point: - I can print - I can go to sleep for a whole week before getting one chapter from the handbook printed. Do you have anything to suggest to me ? You're probably running into problems with the parallel driver rather than the ghostscript (printer) driver. Try setting the parallel port to polling. (See the FreeBSD FAQ entry for My parallel printer is ridiculously slow. What can I do?.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Raising temperature threshold

Hi Jon, First thank you for your reply (same thank to Lowell Gilbert). I tried to change the mode with lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0 but that is even worth because I have no more output at all! I am a bit lost between all the confguration files now. CUPS, apsfilter and friends is too much in one day :) Can you tell me where to install an especially downloaded ppd file? Now my printer's led is flashing permanently, but nothing else happenned. I never thank that printing would be that much exciting and full of suspense :) Hello Ivan: On 1/16/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So at that point: - I can print - I can go to sleep for a whole week before getting one chapter from the handbook printed. I have the same problem using foomatic-rip and lpd, on NetBSD 3. I have not tried printing recently with CUPS. I did google on Slow printing site:linuxprinting.org and got hundreds of hits. We are not the only ones who have this problem. Of course there were no definite answers to this problem. One suggestion was to change the /dev/lpt* from interrupt to polling, using lptcontrol. This is man 4 lpt, for the manual page. I did look at my *ppd file and saw that my resolution was set at the highest level. I am still looking into this but I have no definite answer either.

In every example I saw the swap partition was in the second place. However, I want it to be in the beginning of the disk as this should result in better performance. Are there any concerns about this layout? I basically used the standards mentioned by the manual pages of disklabel: 8 partitions: # size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 2g * swap b: * * 4.2BSD 4096 16384 64 c: * * unused Partition 'a' for root and 'b' for swap is a strongly established convention and departure could lead to all sorts of hassles. If you must have swap earlier than the root partition then retain the labels but change the positions -- that is set the offset of 'a' so that it falls after 'b' and set the 'b' partition at or near the beginning of the slice. To me it it is not entirely clear whether reservations for things like disklabels are not automatically taken care of when 'a' is the first partition in the slice, so I suggest if you place the 'b' partition first you do this with an offset of 16 sectors. If you use sysinstall for this, it's all handled automatically. You will end up with 'b' and 'd' partitions for swap and data, and no 'a' partition. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PicoBSD Dummynet/bridge errors
Hi, I just did a default installation of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. I ran the PicoBSD script in an attempt to create a DummyNet floppy, but I got the following error: http://tinypic.com/kcmjnt.gif It says I have lots of undefined references such as gctl_getr_handle, gctl_ro_param, gctl_issue, and gctl_free. I tried it again and got pretty much the same thing: http://tinypic.com/kcmjq8.gif Also, if I try to use the menu to edit the kernel or crunch files, after I edit (whether I change anything or not) and exit vi I get: http://tinypic.com/kcmjic.gif Says rm: /tmp/reply.[UID]: No such file or directory and dumps me out of the menu system. I've used Linux quite a bit but this is my first time with FreeBSD. Like I said, I just did a default installation of FreeBSD 6.0. Is there something special I have to do when installing FreeBSD to get the PicoBSD/DummyNet script to work, or are these bugs? I am logged in as root. Alternatively, if someone has a premade DummyNet floppy image with the 'fxp' Intel PCI NIC drivers built into it, that's all I really need. The prebuilt DummyNet images I've found online are all very old and don't recognize my Intel PCI NICs.

Need help getting OpenOffice to work on FreeBSD 6.0-release
I installed the package for OpenOffice 2.0 for FreeBSD 6.0 (which needed openssl-beta, which I installed). Now, when trying to run OpenOffice I get: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libuno_sal.so.3 not found, required by javaldx /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libvcl680fi.so not found, required by soffice.bin I put symlinks in /usr/local/lib to these files using their names (i.e. the symlinks are the same names as the files), the files were installed to: /usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/program So, I figured that ldconfig would take care of everything on the next bootup. Well, I'm still getting the same problem. I did ldconfig -r | grep for_the_files. ldconfig knows about libuno_sal.so.3 but not libvcl680fi.so. I suspect it's because libvcl680fi.so doesn't follow the libsomething.so.[0-9] convention being looked for (as is spelled out in the man page). So, my question is simple. Can anyone help me get OpenOffice running? Thanks, Andy __ Switch to Netscape Internet Service. As low as $9.95 a month -- Sign up today at http://isp.netscape.com/register Netscape.

I can write a shell script to look for any new messages like those shown above so determining that the failure has occurred is not difficult especially since the system is still running all be it without a network connection. Will bringing fxp0 down with ifconfig and then back up as in ifconfig fxp0 down sleep 5 ifconfig fxp0 up restore it to operation again? I am asking because the system is unreachable when fxp0 is down. If one was logged in to that system, is there anything we could do to rescue it besides a full reboot? I want to make it rescue itself if it can since these things always happen on holidays or weekends or at 03:00 in the morning. This system doesn't die that often, but it is often enough to take measures to prevent it from needing our laying on of hands at odd hours. Thank you.

80 pin SCSI hard drives.

Or if they can be used, maybe I made a mistake getting them, but they are 18GB 15 k drives and were $75 apiece from Tiger Direct. two of them will give me 36 GB to use for a web server /usr and /var partitions.

Hi, I have 80 pin SCSI discs mounted in hot-swappable trays on a SCSI backplane which takes care also of powering them up and of SCSI termination. This is one way of using them. I also have the same drives in a different system connected to normal SCSI LVD cable using small adaptors which have an 80 pin receptacle on one side and a 68 pin SCSI connector plus 4 pin molex power connector on the other, as well as jumpers to define SCSI id. In this second case you have to provide the required termination of the SCSI bus (e.g. using the right terminated SCSI cable). alfredo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 80 pin SCSI hard drives.
There are called sca or single connect if I'm not wrong... Most high end servers (sun, hps, ibm, compaq, etc used those) They are basically 68 pins drive (can be U80, U160 or U320) so you just need a regular se scsi adapter for them. The only difference is that the power is coming though the connector, scsi ids are also set by the backplane instead of jumpers at the back of the drive... If you don't plan to put them on a server that has those backplane, you can buy a converter from 68 pins to 80 like this one for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/INTERNAL-SCSI-3-SCA80-pin-to-SCSI-2-IDC50M_W0QQitemZ5853652732QQcategoryZ41993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/SCA-adapter-80-pin-to-SCSI-I-II-III-68-or-50-Converter_W0QQitemZ8750421043QQcategoryZ11160QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/414-SCSI-Adapter-SCA-80-to-68-to-50-PIN-GIFT_W0QQitemZ8751171361QQcategoryZ167QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem There is a bunch on ebay, just seach for sca 80 it may be hard to fit in your case, just make sure it fits :) At 21:21 2006-01-16, je killen wrote: I've obtained two SCSI hard drives made by Maxtor that have 80 pin connectors and no power connector port.

I've tried to contact Maxtor to get advice on a PCI adapter and cables to use with these units but haven't gotten a reply. Can any one give me some info on how to set these drives up hardware wise? Or if they can be used, maybe I made a mistake getting them, but they are 18GB 15 k drives and were $75 apiece from Tiger Direct. two of them will give me 36 GB to use for a web server /usr and /var partitions.

Re: unable to build ntp
Thanks everyone for the help. For the archive: I went to /usr/src/contrib/ntp/ntpdate and edited ntpdate.c. I searched for 'host found' and changed the stderror to stdout. I then went to /usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp and performed a make install clean. Problem solved; the new 'host found' messages now go to stdout, just like all the other messages, so I can dump them to /dev/null, but 'host not found' error messages still show up as mail to root.

rpm equivalent to 'pkg_add -r'?
As the subject asks, is there an equivalent?

New FreeBSD 6.0 system advice sought
So, I'm building a replacement 6.0 system from the bare metal, moving over my 4.11 server data after I'm done. I've started from a minimal installation, and I'm looking for some input. 1] Apache - do I stay with 1.3 or move on up to the 2.x branch? 2] MySQL - do I stay with the 3.x (!), or move to the v4 or v5 branch? 3] What would be the best order to do the installation, or does it matter? * Apache * MySQL * mod_php5 I'm really just running it as a web server, with php MySQL support and not much else. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

X starts OK for root but fails for other user
I get an error message about can't find 'fixed' font. The font is there. fonts.alias is there. It mentions 'fixed'. I don't see anything wrong with the permissions on the font files, font directories. The ownership is 'root' (if I recall correctly) What else should I look for? What else should I check.

how do I (non-interactively) change a users password in a script ?
/bin/sh script. Need to change a users password within the script based on a file of user/pass I am feeding the script. Easy. Except the passwd command does not seem to be able to take a password as an argument - I don't think that the passwd command can run non-interactively. So how is this done ? It looks like the adduser script does it non-interactively somehow ... but I don't see how.

It looks like the adduser script does it non-interactively somehow ... but I don't see how. Thanks. Yes, you can do this: -h fd This option provides a special interface by which interac- tive scripts can set an account password using pw. Because the command line and environment are fundamentally insecure mechanisms by which programs can accept information, pw will only allow setting of account and group passwords via a file descriptor (usually a pipe between an interactive script and the program). sh, bash, ksh and perl all pos- sess mechanisms by which this can be done. Alternatively, pw will prompt for the user's password if -h 0 is given, nominating stdin as the file descriptor on which to read the password. Note that this password will be read only once and is intended for use by a script rather than for interactive use. If you wish to have new password confir- mation along the lines of passwd(1), this must be imple- mented as part of an interactive script that calls pw. If a value of `-' is given as the argument fd, then the password will be set to `*', rendering the account inacces- sible via password-based login. Read more in man 8 pw. I'm also sure that there are examples out there as well if you search on Google, etc. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
how to force ucom driver to create /dev/cuaU? for some device?
Hi all, I have a device (GPS) that connects to the PC via the USB interface and I have a software (comms/garmin-utils) that wishes to talk to the device.
