OK, specifically,

sed -e 's/http\:\/\/www\.domain\.htm\///g' *.htm  *.htm

The sed command processes files with some regexp stuff,
this command removes the http://www.domain.htm/ from htms.
NOTE: not sure if u have to use a '\' before that ':'

Re: looking for advice on NAS

2006-12-24 Thread Derek Ragona
You can do an implementation of NAS using FreeBSD with samba this works 
pretty well.  If you want a simpler implementation you can use FreeNAS, 
http://www.freenas.org/


With drive prices so low, and RAID easily available, you can do a mirrored 
or mirrored stripped RAID array for redundancy.


Doing backups depends on what type of backup media you want to use (tape, 
disk, etc.) and how much you will backup.  More current RAID controllers 
support snapshots and backups directly through the controller.  With any 
backup scenario though you need to choose the value of the data and data 
loss, then choose the backup/restore method that will work given the value 
and your budget.

Re: portversion vs. pkg_version

2006-12-24 Thread Sherry Zhang

Mr. Lee:

imho, portversion(uses the INDEX file to look up port versions) is
like the desktop search(searh an index file), and the pkg_version(
queries the port
versions directly) is like the find command(search the entire disk);)

use portversion instead, it's efficient cause it use port database.
however, it will take a long time using portsdb to update the database
file (the INDEX file) when you want to use portversion.

ps,i like your essays on GNU/Linux, LaTex, etc. and I gain a lot from them

Problems with UBUNTU mounting NFS share from FreeBSD

2006-12-24 Thread stan
I've got a 4.11-STABLE FreeBSD machine that I'd like to provide NFS
services to some UBUNTU 6.10 machines. I've put the following in
/etc/exports:

/usr /usr/local/www/data/pictures  -alldirs-maproot=0  all

When I try to mount this, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mount black:/usr /tmp/mnt
mount: black:/usr failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

And I see the following in dmesg on the FreeBSD machine:

NFS request from unprivileged port (205.159.77.59:36731)
nfsd send error 32

I thought that I rembered having to add an option to omethng (monthd ?) to
allow it to prvide services on on privleged port, but the mountd man page
does not seem to have such an option.

How can I amke this work?

Probably not much. pkg_version is part of the base-system, portversion
is one of the portupgrade package tools. Since portversion was created,
pkg_version has I think acquired some new features blurring the
distinction.

Personally, I don't like to get version information from the INDEX
file, I'd rather get an accurate answer, than a fast one. Another
reason I don't like portversion is that it's forever asking me to run
pkgdb. Aside from being a pain, it makes portversion unsuitable for use
in scripts.

From the man page for mountd:

-n  Allow non-root mount requests to be served.  This should only be
specified if there are clients such as PC's, that require it.  It
will automatically clear the vfs.nfsrv.nfs_privport sysctl flag,
which controls if the kernel will accept NFS requests from
reserved ports only.

Alternatively, you can adjust the Ubuntu clients so they're trying to mount
the drives as root from the assigned port.

Many thanks for these various tips and your time to make them!

I usually use sed(1) myself, but for the life of me, I could not find a way 
to properly apply delimiters or syntax to get it to work. I was close, but 
no cigar! Too many slashes and commas I guess.


Such a tool will indeed be a giant timesaver!

I have used both pkg_version and portversion.  I perfer pkg_version.
I use it in the following way:

portsnap fetch  portsnap update
pkg_version -voIL'='

portsnap creates an index file faster than pkgdb...if you use it often.
I like to portsnap once a week.

otherwise use the pkg_verison without the 'I'

error when doing make installworld

2006-12-24 Thread Dino Vliet
Hi peeps,

I have tried to update my src with cvsup and got stuck
because of an error while doing make installworld.

My system is an amd64 machine running freebsd 6.1 and
I have performed the steps without problems:
-make buildworld
-make buildkernel kernconf=mykkernel
-make installkernel kernconf=mykernel

Normally I would then immediately follow this sequence
with a mergemaster -p, make installworld and
mergemaster -i and then reboot.

However, this time I decided to check the handbook and
saw that it recommended to do a boot into single user
mode between the step -make installkernel
kernconf=mykernel AND the step mergemaster -p.

So I did it and when I rebooted and saw the beastie
splash screen, I hit option 4. Then I had to press
enter to get to the shell. When I did I noticed I
couldn't cd into the /usr/src directory because the
/usr/src directory was missing! 

So I rebooted again into multi-user mode and here I
tried the mergemaster -p but it failed with:

Hi Beech,

many thanks for your clear help. I will try that in a
few moments

However, I wanted to ask you something else becuase of
your quote:

Doing a make installworld before finding out if the

How am I able to find out if the new kernel will boot
then? Because I have done this a few times

The proper way is:

make buildworld
make kernel (KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL) if custom
reboot to single user
If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the space bar at the boot prompt
boot kernel.old
If the new kernel boots OK
mount -a
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster
exit

The main thing is you don't want to install the new userland before finding 
out if the new kernel boots. If you install the userland it's very possible 
that your old kernel may not boot either. Then you're looking at 
re-installing the system so you can restore from backups. I've had to do that 
and while not hard, is very time consuming. Plus I lost everything between 
when I backed up and the date I restored.

Also, please don't top post.

hardware acceleration for ATI Radeon 9600 ?

2006-12-24 Thread deeptech71
Last official ATI video card support for FreeBSD was the 9400 series 
drivers. I've heard about some reverse engineered drivers from Linux. Is 
there any way to get hardware acceleration for ATI Radeon 9600 series? I 
want to run OpenGL applications, and not with software rendering.

I agree. It's painfull to see that you browse a website and it
consumes all your cpu cycles eventually. Since most of these scripts
are used to power adverts or some graphical stuff that really isn't
necessary, I use FF with the Adblock, NoScript, and
Flashblock-Extension.
Adblock filters known ads, together with Adblock Filter.G Updater
you get a decent list of ad placing sites.
NoScript is configured to block all JavaScripts by default, and if I
think that a website doesn't behave as I would expect (e.g. doesn't
react on URL- oder buttonpresses in forms), I temporarily allow
scripts for this site. Sites I visit regularly that require JavaScript
get general permission.
Flashblock teaches embedded Flash-Objects on demand-behaviour by

This puts an end to high CPU load...
Strange. Firefox 2.0 doesn't appear to be much of a problem for me on my 
P4 2.4GHz machine. Then again I run NoScript and Adblock by default. 
Also, if you dig through the tabs in NoScript a bit, it has options to 
disable Flash stuff by default and then you can whitelist the Flash 
animation as well.


The only problem I have had with Firefox CPU-wise has been caused by 
annoying, poorly created blog sites (40+ some animated gifs in the 
background--ate up nearly all my available CPU resources).


Another thing, there were some known problems with Firefox 2.0.1 that 
were addressed with GTK filechoosers, if that's part of what you're doing.

Thank you for the tips, when I posted this in the list I already have
Adblock installed, but I still FF acts like a hungry pig.

The question now, is FF-linux runs faster than native FreeBSD FF?

I highly doubt it. It's like saying Does another layer of complexity 
make something run better?.. most likely no.

You can be 99.9% sure that the problem wasn't that. It is, like it is stated, 
most likely a hardware problem but initialized by using cvsup. My guess is RAM 
problems. Try using MEMTESTER.

However, spontaneous reboots are almost always hardware problems.  Have
you verified that your RAM, hard drive, cooling, power, and all other
hardware factors are in proper operation?  That would be the first
logical step in diagnosing this.

I agree with what everyone else has said before me. My recommendations:
1. Run Dell diags CD.
2. Run memtest86+.
3. Upgrade the BIOS if possible; Dell's move to AMD chipsets is recent, 
and a BIOS upgrade might be beneficial for your machine.

   One thing with regular expressions though, is that you can control 
the command characters to use with defining the search and replace 
keywords and replacements. If you see my example, I used pipes because 
you had a number of forward slashes (/), so it allows you to cut down on 
the number of escaping backslashes in your regular expression / replacement.

   Cheers and a Merry Christmas to you too!

The -i option to sed enables it to rewrite a file in place, removing the
need to create new files, delete the old ones, and rename the new ones.
But it needs careful testing, and should never be used without a good
backup of all the files that it might touch. Powerful tools are often
dangerous!

 So, what to do now???

 O yeah, I've been running my system from
 securelevel=3, so maybe that has something to
 
  do
 
with
   
 this also.

 Any help will be appreciated...

 (Yes, it's Christmas eve, I know, but hey that
   
gives
   
 me a lot of time to check things out).

 Thanks

 ps is this bad? Should I start evacuate all my
 important files while I'm still able to?
 
  The proper way is:
 
  make buildworld
  make kernel (KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL) if custom
  reboot to single user
  If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the
  space bar at the boot prompt
  boot kernel.old
  If the new kernel boots OK
  mount -a
  cd /usr/src
  make installworld
  mergemaster
  exit
 
  The main thing is you don't want to install the new
  userland before finding
  out if the new kernel boots. If you install the
  userland it's very possible

 Thanks Beech,

 you helped me out very well and I have learned a lot
 too. I will go on and update my notes because I had it
 all wrong.

Not really a need for cat(1), just use input redirection ...

  sed -e '...'  file

OT: sed usage (was Re: Search Replace Issue)

wrote DeepTech thusly...

 sed -e 's/http\:\/\/www\.domain\.htm\///g' *.htm  *.htm

That will most likely destroy the original file(s).

Depending on your shell, you will get redirection error from the shell
if there happen to be more than one file matching the pattern '*.htm'.

In particular, in zsh 4.2.6 ...

  # cat p
  polka dot

  # cp -f p q; cp -f p qq
  # ls -l p q*
  -rw---  1 parv  people  10 Dec 24 23:32 p
  -rw---  1 parv  people  10 Dec 24 23:32 q
  -rw---  1 parv  people  10 Dec 24 23:32 qq

  # sed -e '' q* | q*
  # ls -l q*
  -rw---  1 parv  people  0 Dec 24 23:34 q
  -rw---  1 parv  people  0 Dec 24 23:34 qq


 NOTE: not sure if u have to use a '\' before that ':'

No, ':' need not be escaped.
