Quickcam Orbit MP on FreeBSD?
I bought a fancy Quickcam (face-tracking), though I have no idea how to make it work with FreeBSD. I installed qcamview, but when I run it as root, it says Not found Quickcam, or Permission denied. Anyone know anything about Quickcams on FreeBSD? I don't expect it to work, but it would be cool if it did. There seems to be very little information on the net about qcamview. I'd be happy to just snapshots with it. I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 and Fluxbox. The cam is USB 2.0. Any suggestions? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
serial console for dummies?
Hello... I'm trying to set up a serial console for watching console error messages while in X, but am having a real hard time getting my head around the concepts of what I need to do (and don't need to). I've seen http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html but I'm not clear about how much of that applies to what I want to do, since it talks about setting it up for a headless system (no keyboard or monitor) and actually instructs you to remove the keyboard. I've also searched the mailing list archives but I've read a lot of conflicting info, much of which for different uses of the serial console than what I want to use it for, and I've now read back so far that I can't even be certain that the suggestions apply to FreeBSD 6.0. Ugh So is there someone who can give me a hand-held walk-through of just what I need to do to make this work? I'm running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and live in X (Gnome) all the time. My intention here is to be able to see console messages (Errors) so when something dies (like X locking, which happens sometimes) I have a chance to see what the heck happened. I have an old 486 laptop I intend to use as the dumb terminal, as well as the necessary null modem cable. I just need to know what to configure on my FreeBSD box so that console errors are mirrored to the serial port.

Answering machine / voicemail -- email?
Hi all, I'm running a decently fast server with FreeBSD 5.4. I'd like to set up a way that the box can act as a voicemail server, and turn the messages into emails. I see Asterisk as a possible solution, but it seems awfully heavyweight for what I want. Are there any lighter-weight ways to achieve this? If Asterisk is the way to go, what's the cheapest modem card I can buy (for a PCI Express-based Dell SC 420) that can answer the phone, and let the machine receive these calls? It's for use in my home, so it's only 1 analog phone line running into the house right now. thanks, -Nick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: GEOM - how do we replace a failing HDD?
Yance Kowara wrote: We are trying to use GEOM to make a RAID-1 system (using a pair of identical IDE) and it is quite simple to setup. Does anyone know how to replace the hard disk if any of the two disks fails? There does not seem to be much clear documentation, if any exists, about this. It's explained quite clearly in the gmirror(8) man page -- particularly look at the examples near the end See also this very useful article by Dru Lavigne: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html More importantly, if the first HDD fails, can we just stick a new HDD and it would boot from the second HDD and GEOM will synchronise it? Sure. Extract the failed disk, insert the new one, and then run: # gmirror forget gm0 # gmirror insert gm0 ad1 substituting whatever values are appropriate for the name of your raid 1 instead of gm0, and whatever disk device it is you're replacing instead of ad1. Hmmm... that sequence works very well with hot-swap drives. If you need to power down to extract the failed disk, then I think you should wait until you've got the new drive in and the system back running before trying any of those commands. You'll get lots of nasty looking error messages on boot-up, but it should work. If you have to reboot to change disks, and depending on which disk it is that fails, you may need to swap drives -- make your good disk the primary master, and put the new disk in as secondary and/or slave. Or you may need to fiddle around in the bios to tell your system which disk to boot from.

Lockup when suspending from X
Hi all, I need some help trying to understand why this is happening. apm -z (or zzz) works just fine from any of the text-based virtual consoles. If I run it from a shell in X, either as root or myself with sudo, the computer locks up - no panic, nothing . The only change I can see is the light in the USB mouse goes out, and that's it, total lock. If I do ctrl-Alt-F1 , a non-stopping beeping ensues. Upon restart, there is no log whatsoever of the apm -z attempt, and background fsck is run against all partitions sudo apm -z works fine.

Re: GEOM - how do we replace a failing HDD?
This depends on your RAID card. Most RAID cards report the failure of a drive and will do the rebuilding of a failed drive within the RAID firmware, outside any OS.

The simple answer to your problem is that you haven't cvsupp'ed all
of the sources required to build your system. The more difficult answer
is that you need to find out which category you are lacking in order to
compile everything. Here's my cvsup file as a basis:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /root/sys.cvsup
*default host=cvsup15.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_0
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-base
src-bin
src-contrib
src-etc
src-gnu
src-include
src-kerberos5
src-lib
src-libexec
src-rescue
src-release
src-sbin
src-share
src-sys
src-tools
src-usrbin
src-usrsbin
src-crypto
src-secure
src-sys-crypto
I only included the above packages because I had to and not because
I wanted to (with exception of the kerberos one).

Re: A strategic question
On 2006-01-28 03:16, Jozef Baum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This posting doesn't contain a technical question about FreeBSD, rather a strategic one. Some time ago, I wanted to migrate to a Unix environment, because I wanted to have a secure, stable, convenient and efficient environment for developing and running programs, [...] That's a reasonable expectation. I downloaded Solaris 10 and a lot of documentation about it, then installed Solaris 10. As opposed to Linux and free BSD implementations of UNIX, Solaris looks like a professionally developed operating system. I'll agree to this. Mostly. But see below for what a `professional' system expects from you, as the installer person future administrator of the system. It seems to be1 a very advanced operating system. There is some advanced stuff in almost all the operating systems in use today. I'm not sure I understand what strikes you as 'advanced' in Solaris that does not have an equivalently 'advanced' technolody in FreeBSD. However, I soon realized that, when one wants a yacht, it is not a good idea to acquire the Queen Mary II, just as it costs too much time to acquire a hotel to have a cup of coffee. The same can be said for almost any operating system today -- except, perhaps, for the crap of Redmond, which is still riddled with trojans, viruses and countless lock-in tricks designed explicitly to *stop* the administrator and the users from doing their work, until they pay a hefty amount to company X for their special Y software. I don't really see why this is true for Solaris, but untrue for BSD. [Linux rant] I came to FreeBSD, with the idea that it had a more homogeneous quality development model, downloaded the FreeBSD 6.0 boot CD and CD 1 and 2, and installed it on my PC, following the handbook. So, does it? Hvae you used FreeBSD long enough to see this homogeneous design of things clearly? I had been using Linux for more than 5 years before I started with FreeBSD. About the same time that the diversity many differences of all the Linux distributions out there had started to get on my nerves, FreeBSD looked like a very good alternative. It still does :) In fact, to install FreeBSD, one needs already a lot of knowledge about the system. To acquire that knowledge, one needs experience on an installed system. But to have an installed system, one needs already a lot of knowledge about the system. That's the problem. No you don't. This is what the documentation is all about. You claim that you have read the documentation (i.e. the Handbook) before installing. I am not suggesting that you didn't, but if you did find things missing, have you tried asking here about anything that seemed confusing? Have you posted anything to the freebsd-doc list stating that you'd like the installation chapter to also explain Foo and Bar? The handbook doesn't tell you that, at the last chance message, you have to take out the boot CD and to insert CD 1. But if you don't do so, nothing gets installed. Depending on what you select to install, this may or may not be necessary. To give you meaningful help advice about the install process, we would need a detailed list of the steps you took during installation. If you go back and keep notes, I and as am sure many others from this list, will help you get through the obstacles of the installation. After all, it's something you're only going to do a few times at most :) I configured a German ISO keyboard, but many keys don't work correctly. One has to look with Google to find additional information about configuring a German keyboard. That's ok. The good thing about having access to the source code is that you can *make* these modifications to the system itself. If you have improvements about the keyboard layouts, we can arrange to bring you in contact with the right persons, who can then commit your changes to the official tree and improve German layout for everyone. That would be extremely cool :))) I have a cable Internet connection and my network card was recognized, but getting an IP-address with the DHCP service of my provider was impossible. Again, I had to look up with Google how to allow the firewall to get an IP-addres with my provider's DHCP. The Handbook explains how firewalls work. The new firewalls chapter even has an explicit example of a rule that allows DHCP access for one of the most popular FreeBSD firewalls: # Allow out access to my ISP's DHCP server for cable or DSL networks. # This rule is not needed for 'user ppp' type connection to the # public Internet, so you can delete this whole group. # Use the following rule and check log for IP address. # Then put IP address in commented out rule amp; delete first rule pass out log quick on dc0 proto udp from any to any port = 67 keep state #pass out quick on dc0 proto udp from any to z.z.z.z port = 67 keep state I'm sure you missed this one, but it's ok.

Hello Jon I'm in a similar situation as you. I play now a long time with this. You have to use cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd (is in ports).

FreeBSD 6.0: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop - mouse not working???
Hi! I just finished my first FreeBSD 6.0 installation using the two CD image files, and my first problem is, that I can't get this optical wireless mouse to work. The Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop consists of the receiver, connected to the PC by USB (also has a PS/2 connector, but it is not supposed to have both connected at the same time, and that connector is only to be connected to the keyboard jack), a wireless keyboard and a wireless optical mouse. The keyboard is working, but the mouse does not do anything (except the LED always on). Using the GENERIC kernel, USB is enabled (ohci ehci on an Asus A7N8X deluxe motherboard), the mouse is found during boot as follows: - cut - # cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep ums ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\M-. 1.00, rev 2.00/17.17, addr 3, iclass 3/1 ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir. - cut - usbd + moused get started, /dev/ums0 and /dev/sysmouse are present, but no mousepointer and no mouse-reaction. cat /dev/sysmouse or killing moused cat /dev/ums0 does not do anything while moving the mouse. It is definitely no hardware-problem, because everything is working just fine in WinXP Gentoo Linux. I already searched with google, in the bugreports, the mailinglists, bsdforums.org bsdforen.de, and I could find quite some reports about similar problems with Microsoft / Logitech and other mice, but no solution (some patches were mentioned, but I could not find any success confirmation). So is there any hope at all, to get that mouse to work properly? If this is a commonly known issue, I wonder why nobody found a solution yet, some reports date back to the year 2003 with some older versions of FreeBSD. As I have read, USB support should have been improved in 6.0, and such a problem really should not be present any more. P.S. I was not quite sure, if this is the correct mailinglist to post that message in. I am subscribed to 6 FreeBSD-mailinglists ATM, but freebsd-questions seems to be the most popular one.

Hello Garrett, * Garrett Cooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] [29-01-06 09:15]: The simple answer to your problem is that you haven't cvsupp'ed all of the sources required to build your system. The more difficult answer is that you need to find out which category you are lacking in order to compile everything. Here's my cvsup file as a basis: thanks a lot, I found now the problem. It was really a problem of my cvsup server I had used. I corrected now the problem on the cvsup-server and everthing is fine now.

Re: Gnome's bottom panel doesn't display running programs
Sunday 29 January 2006 12:36、Derrick Ryalls さんは書きました: Greetings, I did some searching, but didn't find anything so I was hoping someone might have a clue on this. I just did the compile for gnome 2.12 on FreeBSD 6 and so far most everything seems to work except the lower panel does not display the current running programs or the other virtual desktops. I can alt-tab to the other programs in the same virtual terminal, and can use cntrl-alt (left/right) to get to the other terminals, but none show the normal bar at the bottom. The top bar looks normal (has normal menus, clock, etc). I hope this is just dependancy that needs to be rebuilt, but am unsure of which one do try. My install was something like this: Install Freebsd 6 using 6.0 release disc burned last month. Install basic packages via sysinstall At this point I tried portupgrade -NPPR x11/gnome2 After many weird issue on out of date dependancies, I used the gnome2.12update script to fix the issues. After update script was finished, I executed a normal install: cd x11/gnome2; make install clean The final install did complete successfully and gnome has been running, but the bottom panel isn't working. Thanks in advance for any clues. If I recall correctly (can't test at the moment due to hard disk failure) GNOME relies on DBUS working to get everything working proper. I believe that the window list is part of that. Try making sure that DBUS is in fact working. You enable it by putting dbus_enable=YES or similar (from memory, that hard disk thing) in /etc/rc.conf. Since that only affects at boot time, either reboot or find the script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ somewhere, I should think) and start it.

Another thought is to connect via a network connection and SSH into the machine that will give you a console.

Is this the way it's supposed to work? Do I have to use chmod to grant write access to the group every time I do an import? Or is my CVS not configured correctly? If I don't grant write access to the group on that directory, every check in fails with a could not open lock file `/usr/local/cvs/test_proj/,test.txt,': Permission denied. I tried setting the LockDir in the config file to a world-writable directory, but this doesn't seem to solve the problem when trying to check-in. Thank you!

I contacted the dev and he confirmed the ports version is old so I guess the ports maintainer needs to update it until that is done I dont reccomend it for 5.3 and older. Chris Hi Chris, I run two 6.0 stable boxes at home. I guess that's why one needs to ask what version of FreeBSD are you using? I'd never used portsnap until I was trying to put as much speed as I could into setting up the two 6.0 boxes. I will remeber about 5.3 and older. Don As previously mentioned on the 5 boxes, 2 run 5.3 2 run 5.4 1 runs 4.10 as portsnap is included in the base on 5.4 I just used that and it is very fast, on 5.3 and 4.10 I installed from ports and is very slow but this is because it uses an older method to fetch the patches I am told. I will try the -x next time I update.

Re: Elegant delete of word ~tmp files in all sub / dirs
Hi Mathieu,
useless to do -r while you search only files (-type f)
the delete function of find seems more apropriate to me
But the -exec mode is more general (understand you put whatever
command you want there) and beside, the first question was refeering
to a syntax using {}.
But I guess that Graham has already deleted all his directories anyway :)

Re: FTP Automate Shell Script
A .netrc file (read the ftp man page) may work for you. Cheers Gavin If you have shell access on the destination host, you can also try mirror. Thanks for the many suggestions, I will be looking into them all (.netrc doesn't work yet, still trying). I am still curious why the password isn't working though. Is it possible that you can not script this? The script works by creating the following temp file and piping it to ftp. angelo cd /images put img00234.jpg img00234.jpg put img00235.jpg img00235.jpg put img00236.jpg img00236.jpg put ftp.sh ftp.sh quit I tried - angelo mysecret cd /images put img00234.jpg img00234.jpg cut put ftp.sh ftp.sh quit and angelo mysecret cd /images put img00234.jpg img00234.jpg cut put ftp.sh ftp.sh quit Neither seem to work. I'm also not sure how to NOT copy the actual file too :) Thanks again.. Ang. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

excluding a particular filename from rsyncing ... help
Every night I rsync a directory tree from one system to another. Easy. However there is a particular set of files that could exist anywhere in that directory at any depth, and it is unknown how many there are at any given time. I want to make sure that rsync skips over those files regardless of where they ae, how deep they are, or how many there are. How can I do this on the command line, with rsync ?
