Both variants (old and new) are working (scrolling) but described effect remains. Why I think that scrolling up works as scroll + left click: for example, in Opera scrolling up at the top of document (when real scroll is impossible) result in marking the word under cursor and appearing context menu for very short time. I've been having the same problem since updating to Xorg 6.9.0 two months ago. Before that, this problem did not exist for me. Here are a couple examples of what I see with use: 1) I'm going through my inbox in Thunderbird and I start scrolling up using the wheel to see messages. In addition to going up the list, it's also selecting all the emails that my mouse pointer happens to touch when I move the wheel up. This isn't good because then it marks lots of messages as read when I really did not read them. I know it's only a workaround and not a solution, but at least until you're able to get the rodent behaving the way you like, you can change the setting in Thunderbird preferences. In v1.5: Edit -- Preferences -- Advanced [Check box] Wait XX seconds before marking a message as read (2nd item down) Make it 5 or 10 seconds and at least you won't have to worry about a message being marked as read because your mouse inadvertently lands on the header. -- Michael M. ++ Portland, OR ++ USA No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. --S.

Finally I moved my list subscriptions to a more reliable server. Then, on a whim, I started deleting old FreeBSD mail out of my GMail account. I'd only used 350MB out of my allotment, so I was nowhere near my limit, but within *1 minute* of me starting to blow stuff away, I started getting mail again. Only thing I can think is that because I had -questions mail being labeled, I hit some cap. Now everything that was backlogged the past few days is showing up. A lot of good 2GB of storage does me if there are internal caps to the *number of messages* (even if it's the number of messages in a label, I was receiving non-labeled e-mail just fine). Technically, it might be related, but there are obivously no such policies. I have close to 1 messages from FreeBSD sites. Most of them are labeled (per list), some are not. As I said, I changed my subscription addresses to another server and redirect mail from there back to gmail. It is fully transparent to me, labels still work and mail is coming.

PHP not picking up locales
Hi all, I have a problem with PHP's setlocale where it cannot set a locale except POSIX and C. Running locale -a lists all the available locales as normal and I have even written a small C program which uses locale.h and nl_langinfo.h and this succeeds without any problem. I have also wrote a small testlocale php script which you can find at http://www.twmcc.co.uk/testlocale.php. As you can see it fails on everything except POSIX and C. It seems like PHP is not looking in the right place for the locales which is rather unusual. I have consulted and followed exactly the FreeBSD related comments at http://www.php.net/setlocale. I've also asked around in the usual PHP places but nobody seems to know what is up. Permissions on the locale directory all seem fine. PHP has been recently installed which is version 5.1.2_1, also Running FreeBSD 6.1 and apache 1.3.34. I should also note that I run my own FreeBSD 6.1 RC1 server for development and PHP setlocale works just fine on it which makes it all the more puzzling. I've simply run out of ideas and was hoping someone could shed some light on how to fix this problem.

mysql rc.d script
Hello all, I have a FreeBSD 6-current build from almost the most recent source. I have installed mysql41-server port and observed a strange behaviour: as usual, I only have to put the mysqld_enable=yes in my /etc/rc.conf to have mysql server started at boot, but this time it did not work. I've checked the script mode and it was OK, just like other scripts in there, and like the Apache starter script that worked fine and after i put enable_apache=YES in rc.conf. The only difference between mysql server starter script and others was the missing .sh suffix. After I renamed mysql-server to mysql-server.sh everything worked fine.

Routing problem
Hi, I am running a 5.4 box as a gateway server / firewall / mail relay at our company. Previously we had a 4.3-beta server which although horribly outdated hardly ever gave us any problems. Since replacing it with a Dell 850 and installing 5.4 I have experienced intermittent routing issues. The box will stop routing traffic correctly (I have included the output of a ping below). I initially thought that the box was just dropping the packets but after running a trafshow I saw that this was not the case. The server has four interfaces (2 X fxp (dual Intel card), 2 X onboard bge), bge0 connects directly to out hosted infrastructure, bge1 connects to our internal LAN, fxp0 connects to our ISP and, fxp1 is our old DMZ network. The routing issue affects all interfaces except bge1 which is also the only interface running at 1Gbit. Most of the traffic routed through any other interfaces is lost and this seriously impacts on the performance experienced by my users.

Re: rc.local
in my freebsd 6.0 there is no rc.local , how i can get rc.local ?? You would have to create one. But, most of the things people used to put in to rc.local on FreeBSD have been changed and are handled in other ways or are put other places. So, rc.local isn't so often used any more.Check out /usr/local/etc/rc.d, for example. But, if you just have to have an rc.local for some reason of your own, then just use a text editor (vi) and create it. Just make sure what you are doing with it doesn't conflict with any of the more modern ways of doing things. You might need to ask about specific items - where they go now or how they are now handled - that you used to see in rc.local. jerry thanks. -- freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Text files going double lined
Usually this is a result of the wrong end-of-line characters being used, depending on what the output device expects. In UNIX, end-of-line is just a line-feed, in MS-DOS/Windows end-of-line is a carriage-return line-feed pair. You may need to change the end-of-line characters to suit your needs and output device. -Derek At 08:10 AM 4/18/2006, Kyrre Nygard wrote: Hello, Does anybody know why text files sometime go double lined?

RE: server hardware
Data centers charge for space in rack units per month. So a 2 unit case is more rental than a one unit model. If you want to build it yourself, which will be most cost effective, and rack space rental cost is not an issue, I would suggest getting a 3 unit case. A three unit case will take any motherboard and CPU. Smaller 1 unit and 2 unit cases are constricted by their size and heat dissipation and usually are limited to only certain motherboard and CPU combinations. Also depending on what type of hard drive system you want (RAID, or just a drive or two) the larger cases are more flexible. -Derek At 08:25 AM 4/18/2006, Jean-Paul Natola wrote: The box that currently runs is an old dimension, 400 mhz mirrored IDE 256 ram, so anything / everything out there on the market will be improvement, as far as putting it together I can most certainly do it, if it will be cost-effective, plus I love the thought of it.

The short answer is to backup the files you want to save. As a general rule, I suggest backing up: /etc /usr/local/etc /usr/local/www The last one assumes you have some website(s). If you are also worried about email, if you are using the standard sendmail, also backup: /var/mail I would suggest you create separate compressed tar volumes for your backups, then you can restore them individually if you need to. -Derek At 02:53 AM 4/16/2006, Oliver Iberien wrote: I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on a home machine and backing up to a DVD Burner, probably using kdar, the dar archiver that comes with KDE.

While I know the system detects the USB device, and fdisk -s (or is it l I get linux/unix command lines screwed up when I'm not at the prompt...) detects a linux native partition on the drive that seems to be as far as the system will allow me to go. mount /dev/da0s1 /foobar fails with superblock errors (obviously) mount -t ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /foobar fails with mount_ext2fs not found in /usr/sbin (perhaps /sbin) when I got to /mnt2/usr/sbin (think thats the right path, i know ls ./mount_ext2fs finds the file in the path but if its ./usr/sbin or ./sbin I can't recall) and run ./mount_ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /foobar I get operation not supported by device. fixit won't even let me mount my linux boot drive (same sets of errors) so I know it isn't just failing because of the USB device. The running system allowed me to mount to drive and write to it or I wouldn't have the dumps on it, but I can't figure out why Fixit won't let me use the drive for more then a paperweight. All the googling I've done says just boot and mount the ext2 partition... }-- My question is what is going wrong here? Do I have to make a symlink to mount_ext2fs to the path that mount -t xxx blah wants to see that program? Or am I just cursed? I figured restoring a backup would be pretty simple but Fixit doesn't seem to want to cooperate.To date this is my only serious issue with FreeBSD, but I would say it is quite the issue to have. All my previous restores occurred with a running FreeBSD system and the new drive somewhere else in the chain, but my Laptop supports only the one drive (well without rigging up somekind of adapters to add a slave port connection... not on my to do list) I could get the adapters and make the restore with my desktop but the whole point for me was being able to easily restore my laptop from catastrophic failure on the road, short of running the thing over that is. One thing you need to make sure of when using the Fixit CD is that the kernel can find the necessary modules for whatever you're trying to do. In the case of ntfs.ko and smbfs.ko (and I presume ext2fs.ko), this doesn't happen by default. To fix this, change the kernel's module path from the minimal one in the MFS root to the complete one included on the CD: sysctl kern.module_path=/dist/boot/kernel Then try your mount_ext2fs command again. Also, remember to check the debug console (Alt-F2) to see if there are any kernel messages that might shed additional light on the problem. Good luck, and please post again even if just to say it worked.

I used SM for a LONG time and recently switched to Horde. I like it A LOT better. Sure it was more work to get going, but its not terrible. They just fixed the horde ports so that your config doesn't get renamed when you upgrade, so that's a good thing! Start with horde and imp only, get that working, then add the other horde modules as you need them. The thing with SM is that it doesn't get updated enough (for me anyways). Sure little security updates, but theres been no movement on 1.5 in forever. Horde has a TON of features, is fast, looks nice, handles procmail filters, etc. I like it! =) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: boot0: is booting from non-BIOS-recognized disk possible?
Amanda Babcock Furrow [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have read the boot0cfg, disklabel (I have FreeBSD 4.9), and fdisk manpages trying to figure out if boot0 can solve my problem. I did not find the answer there, or in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/disks.html or the freebsd-questions archives. I would like to be able to boot from my Seagate ST3120814A, which is not compatible with my BIOS (Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG, BIOS string 08/21/97-580VPX-VIA83669-2A5LD000C-00, VT 580VX MMX motherboard). The BIOS, for which no update was ever issued, will hang during disk detection unless I disable the Seagate by setting it to None in the BIOS (as opposed to Auto and User, which hang). However, once I boot FreeBSD from an older disk, the Seagate is detected as /dev/ad3 and partitions from it can be mounted. I understand that boot0 can be configured to boot from a second disk using the -s 5 argument of boot0cfg. However, the boot0cfg man page does not go into great detail. Can boot0 boot from a disk which is disabled in BIOS but accessible from FreeBSD, or only from disks which the BIOS is able to detect? The latter. It can, however, use the packet interface as well as the old cylinder-based BIOS interface; perhaps that will work for you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: server hardware
You'll do best to select your individual hardware and then shop for it one at a time, searching for the best prices. You can select motherboards at the manufacturer's websites. You will get better performance with RAID build on the motherboard. Newer motherboards also support SATA-300, so you will want drives in that speed too (most 300 GB and larger are available in SATA-300.) New motherboards will also support dual core CPU's which are now the same price as hyperthreaded single core CPU's. These motherboards will also support faster DDR2 RAM. Rack cases cost more, but get a good brand that supports different cooling options and quieter operation on the larger 3U and 4U models.

If your only goal is to get internet access for your wireless clients, it's probably safer to just add another NAT zone. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

SATA controller - Adaptec 1210SA on 6.0/6.1RC
Hi list, I'm having problems with the following setup: Abit KT7A-RAID Adaptec 1210SA in 3rd slot and 2xWestern Digitial 200GB drives Intel 10/100/1000 in 2nd slot AGP card (some generic GeForce) Samsung 80GB connected to first IDE controller CD-ROM connected to second IDE controller In essence, any operation that touches the drives connected to the 1210SA controller hang machine in place (after about 3 or 4 seconds), and only message I was able to see before it was 'ata2 request DISCONNECT' (disks are visible as ad4 and ad6). Of course any disk operations involving the IDE drive are OK, I tested some file transfers and they were able to keep 20MB/s rate without a problem.

'vmstat' shows every device on it's own interrupt. Hangs happen with and without ACPI loaded during boot.

RE: Need clarification on WPS IE support
As far as I know there is no freebsd port for wpa_supplicant (there used to be one but it was removed when wpa_supplicant was incorporated into the base system). Likewise trying to use wpa_supplicant unchanged from Jouni's cvs may or may not work correctly--the freebsd support has been decoupled and is maintained in freebsd so that it can track freebsd api's w/o Jouni having to spin new wpa_supplicant distributions. The same holds for hostapd. Sam I am unaware that wpa_supplicant is now part of the base system and continued to use the cvs-ports wpa_supplicant v0.3.8. Thanks for pointing this out. I have rebuilt the base wpa_supplicant from source and enable EAP-TTLS support. Now sp_scan=2 option does not cause core dump, but wpa_supplicant has problem connecting to the AP using the non-broadcast SSID: wpa_driver_bsd_associate: ssid 'employee' wpa ie len 24 pairwise 2 group 2 key mgmt 0 wpa_driver_bsd_associate: set PRIVACY 1 ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 21, len 42]: Invalid argument Association request to the driver failed I am cross posting this question to both hostap and freebsd.

Re: Curious behavior today
Jonathan Horne wrote: well if its an official change in procedure, i have no problem with adapting. the reason it raised my eyebrow today, aside from happening on 2 boxes at the same time, same daemons, but vsftpd did the same thing last weekend when i compiled the port after latest cvsup. vsftpd needed to vsftpd.sh for it to start at boot (with vsftpd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf). while i did not reboot my test boxes to see whether or not dovecot and saslauthd did or did not start at boot without the .sh on their scripts, it still wondered what was going on. i have several more additional daemons to compile in today, it will be interesting to see their installation behavior as well. My understanding is that the changes were going to be done in a backwards-compatible way so if something didn't work out-of-the-box for you then there may be something wrong somewhere. I don't know enough to say what, if anything, is wrong with those ports. What I thought was that *you* wouldn't have to adapt at all, unless you write or maintain a port, but that port maintainers would have to change over to the new style. I thought it was also going to stay compatible with the old style, since 5.X won't, as I understand it, get the changes. But ports still have to work on 5.X, one would hope! --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: mouse scroll up problem
I have FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and optical Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer, USB native, plugged to PS/2 port via it's own USB-PS/2 adaptor. When I scroll my mouse wheel up in X11 it acts like scroll up + left button one/double-click. For example, in Opera, Firefox. In MS Windows mouse works correctly. I am running the same mouse in the same way on the same release. I have changed settings as Pete advised. Both variants (old and new) are working (scrolling) but described effect remains. Why I think that scrolling up works as scroll + left click: for example, in Opera scrolling up at the top of document (when real scroll is impossible) result in marking the word under cursor and appearing context menu for very short time. I've been having the same problem since updating to Xorg 6.9.0 two months ago. Before that, this problem did not exist for me. Here are a couple examples of what I see with use: I know it's only a workaround and not a solution, but at least until you're able to get the rodent behaving the way you like, you can change the setting in Thunderbird preferences. In v1.5: Edit -- Preferences -- Advanced [Check box] Wait XX seconds before marking a message as read (2nd item down) Effect disappears when mouse is plugged to USB port directly, without adapter. Besides that with ums(4) buttons 6 and 7 works although it has the same affect as button 1. But there is no ability to power off USB port at the moment it seems (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2005-December/001756.html). PS/2 advantage: 'killall moused' results in turning mouse off, for USB it doesn't. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The creation of filesystem will be aborted How can I fix it ? Aguiar First, welcome to FreeBSD. It sounds like you didn't allocate a swap partition during the installation when you were asked to allocate partitions on ad0s1. If you don't take the defaults, then you must allocate swap space explicitly. This should be done on partition b, i.e. on ad0s1b. I suggest you do your first install taking all of the defaults. If you choose a minimal installation it will go very quickly. After you get one installation variant of FreeBSD running, you can experiment with alternate variants of the partitioning of ad0s1. Check each installation with #disklabel ad0s1 Each variant will require a swap partition. The Handbook and FAQs are excellent and should be your primary references for awhile. There is a link to each on www.freebsd.org. Don't be afraid to click the Newbies button; it will lead you to many fine web sites with tutorials. A couple days ago someone recommended http://www.a1poweruser.com/ which looked good enough to me to bookmark. If you have a lot of Linux experience, it is a good site.
