How to reset /dev/dsp ?
I'm running FreeBSD 6.1. My sound device shows up like this in my dmesg: pcm0: Intel ICH5 (82801EB) port 0xd800-0xd8ff,0xdc00-0xdc3f mem 0xfc001000-0xfc0011ff,0xfc002000-0xfc0020ff irq 17 at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: primary codec not ready! pcm0: Avance Logic ALC658 AC97 Codec My sound driver is compiled into the kernel: device sound device snd_ich I've got a java application that I run through diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_1 that uses sound. It's a game. Partway through the game, the sound stops working. The people who make the game have been aware of the problem for many months, but don't understand what to do about it. Okay, I can accept that. What I can't accept is that this java application breaks the sound in such a way that NOTHING can play sound anymore until I reboot the machine! If I attempt to play a movie with mplayer after the game has broken the sound, it says: [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory However, the dsp device still exists in /dev: [0:/dev ll dsp* crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 51 Dec 29 21:36 dsp0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 54 Dec 29 21:37 dsp0.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 52 Dec 29 19:24 dspW0.0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 55 Dec 29 19:24 dspW0.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel - 0, 57 Dec 29 19:24 dspr0.1 The sndstat device doesn't show any problem, if I'm reading the output right: [0:/dev cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: Intel ICH5 (82801EB) at io 0xfc001000, 0xfc002000 irq 17 bufsz 16384 (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) Is there anything I can do short of rebooting the machine to get my sound working when this happens? I thought maybe there was something I could do with devd or devctl to reset the device, but I can't figure out how to do that. I'm not even sure how to see the problem except to attempt to play a sound. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to configure switching between network interfaces?
How to configure switching between network interfaces? I would like to determine how, or if, the following can be accomplished with FreeBSD. Configuration: A BSD box setup with 1 GbE NIC and a 4 port 10/100 NIC The GbE interface will have a static IP configured (192.168.10.x/24) Planned Implementation: Along with possibly serving other data such as NFS or HTTP traffic, I would like the interfaces to work as a switch. The GbE interface is a fiber optic NIC which connects to the rest of the network 100 or so meters away. I plan to use the other 4 interfaces to attach hosts to my network. I would prefer all of my hosts to be on the same subnet if possible, otherwise I would just configure routing between the appropriate interfaces. My question then is: Can the interfaces be configured to function as a switch would, allowing the connected hosts to recieve DHCP and other traffic routing from the fiber optic interface via the FreeBSD box. I know that in a basic configuration, 2 interfaces on the same subnet are not a best practice and would required special routing information. I assume that somewhere this can be configured. A good shove in the right direction would be most appreciated.

gnupg: discarding older version

[no] This is from the /usr/ports/UPDATING file: 20061221: AFFECTS: users of security/gnupg AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The security/gnupg port was upgraded to 2.0.1 (with security fix) and good-old gnupg-1.4.6 was repocopied to security/gnupg1. Both of security/gnupg (2.x) and security/gnupg1 (1.4.x) are designed not to conflict with each other. So you can use security/gnupg1 for gpg(1), and use security/gnupg for gpg2(1) commands. All directly dependents are $PORTREVISION bumped, so portupgrade -R gnupg will works fine. After portupgrade, you will have both of gnupg-2.0.1 and gnupg-1.4.6. Obviously, I now have both versions installed on my PC. My question is should I simply answer (YES) and unregister the older version of this program, or simply leave both versions installed.

ghostscript - port - titles
I am curious about the retitling of current versions of ghostscript released under gnu public license. In /print/ghostscript version 8.15.x is ghostscript-gpl whereas version 7.07x is ghostscript-gnu. Am I missing something here? Does portupgrade handle the upgrade or do we need to deinstall 7.07x to install 8.x? david ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: what is operator group for?
can anyone tell me what the operator group is for, or docs where I can read about it? I see that /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/mk_snap_ffs are both executable by members and various things in /dev/ are mountable by them. My understanding is that group operator is intended for those who deal with devices, e.g. running backups and monitoring printers. I want a regular user to be able to mount removeable media and shutdown the computer. If I make them a member of operator group what else am I allowing them to do? With the usual permission settings, you are also allowing them to read disks directly (e.g. with dump(8)), and thus to read any file on the system -- including the system's and other users' private key files. One alternative is sudo. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

file system for FreeBSD, OS X and WinXP?
Hello all, I recently picked up a big 700G external USB/Firewire Seagate drive with the hopes of using it to store my growing collection of music, photos, etc. currently spread across several different machines (all with nearly full discs). My hope is that I could use a single file system on this drive which could then be plugged into any of these machines which run FreeBSD, OS X, or WinXP. The disc came formatted FAT32, which FreeBSD didn't like (too big was the error when mounting). Formatting it UFS on OS X, showed that Apple's notion of UFS differs significantly from FreeBSD's notion of UFS. Formatting it under FreeBSD, likewise, leaves it only usable there. Is there a file system which will work for a drive this size on at least FreeBSD and OS X? It appears that HFS+ is a possibility, but I'm concerned that the support for that file system under FreeBSD is not current. What are people's experiences here? Is it perhaps better to punt on the idea of moving the drive about and go with a NAS-like solution running NFS/Samba and such on the FreeBSD box?

Do people have any opinions on this? Depends on your need. I've never upgraded from i386 to amd64, so I can't say what the process is like. If you're running a desktop system, I recommend against running amd64. A lot of desktop code burns down, falls over, then sinks into the swamp when run on amd64. If you're running a server, not much problem. Most serious server programs have been running on 64-bit systems since before amd64 existed. One workaround is that you can run i386 programs on an amd64 kernel, if you compile with a special kernel option. I have no actual experience with this to comment on how well it works. Except for some very specific workloads, CPUs tend to perform roughly equally when run in i386 mode vs. amd64 mode. The only majorly compelling argument for amd64 at this time is that it makes life much easier if you have more than 3.5G of RAM in your system. In i386 mode, you either need to compile your kernel with PAE (which is an ugly, poorly supported hack in my opinion) or give up the RAM over 3.5G. -Bill ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How to configure switching between network interfaces? I would like to determine how, or if, the following can be accomplished with FreeBSD. Configuration: A BSD box setup with 1 GbE NIC and a 4 port 10/100 NIC The GbE interface will have a static IP configured (192.168.10.x/24) Planned Implementation: Along with possibly serving other data such as NFS or HTTP traffic, I would like the interfaces to work as a switch. The GbE interface is a fiber optic NIC which connects to the rest of the network 100 or so meters away. I plan to use the other 4 interfaces to attach hosts to my network. I would prefer all of my hosts to be on the same subnet if possible, otherwise I would just configure routing between the appropriate interfaces. My question then is: Can the interfaces be configured to function as a switch would, allowing the connected hosts to recieve DHCP and other traffic routing from the fiber optic interface via the FreeBSD box. I know that in a basic configuration, 2 interfaces on the same subnet are not a best practice and would required special routing information. I assume that somewhere this can be configured. A good shove in the right direction would be most appreciated. You can configure the interfaces together as a bridge and FreeBSD will act as a smart switch-- see the bridge(4) manpage or the Handbook for more info. Note that this configuration might make sense if you wanted to impose firewall rules to limit cross-segment traffic while still letting the client machines all be on one subnet. Or you might divert all WWW traffic seen going by to a transparent proxy server. But unless you plan to do something with this traffic like that-- if all you want to do is have a switch-- you'd otherwise be better off getting a 4-port gigabit Cu or Fibre switch then setting up a dedicated server for the task. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Information about loader and ldconfig
In diagnosing problems after a recent install of refdb and mysql on my Freebsd 6.1 release system, I came across the directory: /usr/local/libdata/ldconfig which contains files with names like mysql. Each of these files contains just one line, which is a path to library modules (e.g. /usr/local/lib/mysql) for that program. Other programs (e.g. mozilla) also have library modules in their own subdirectory in /usr/local/lib, but do not seem to need any files in the ldconfig directory. My query is why is this? Is it to do with shared library modules? Why not put entries for all of the subdirectories from /usr/local/lib in the ldconfig directory?

The /etc/rc.d/ldconfig ends up reading the contents of the files in
that directory to build the /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints file. It's a lot
more efficient for the few ports that put their libraries in
nonstandard locations to create /usr/local/libdata/ldconfig files
rather than have /etc/rc.d/ldconfig have to scan all the subdirectories
in /usr/local/lib. My system, for example, has 1500, wiuth the worst
offender being perl5. Most of those subdirectories don't need to be
listed in ldconfig since they are directly opened via the dlopen()
function and an absolute path.
Just seeking information, but others may be interested to note that I
had to put an entry for the dbd subdirectory into the ldconfig
directory when installing refdb. Thank you all.
Sounds like the databases/libdbi-drivers port needs to add a
USE_LDCONFIG= ${PREFIX}/lib/dbd
line to its port Makefile.

VideoBSD and other APIs
Hi all, If this is a repost, my apologies in advance. It's just that I didn't see my message post in the last two digests of the list that I received. This is my third post on this. I hope this one gets through. I have a series of questions that probably have been discussed at length here. So if you'd rather point to the old material, please feel free. Otherwise, any input would be useful and extremely appreciated. I am looking to do some trivial coding for a Hauppauge WinTV card. It is supported by the bktr driver. So the question comes up, what API can I use to access this? I'm new to this sort of thing (accessing a tv card), hence the hobby interest in playing around. After much web searching the v4l2 (http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Main_Page) project looks promising. However, I'd prefer to do this on FreeBSD over Linux. I do have a Kubuntu box but I'd like to use FreeBSD (duh!). Then I came across many instances of people recommending going to: http://people.freebsd.org/~jmg/videobsd.html And this looks like a promising start. But as the page is dated 2003, I wonder if this project is moving forward? Then I found out about the bktr API. Although this would limit my test app to just my card (and is held my many as an older almost obsolete API due to the meteor legacy) it looks like that's really the only avenue for me on FreeBSD. So then I searched for an API reference/tutorial for bktr. But I find that instead of a reference that many people are stating to go over the fxtv source code (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/multimedia/fxtv/pkg-descr) as my tutorial. Well, I can try to do that but I was hoping for a bit more professional assistance in education for me. One thing I love about FreeBSD it that although it is done in people's spare time - it always has a feeling of being a professional operating system. So now the request for assistance. On FreeBSD, where is my best bet to learn about interfacing with a Hauppauge WinTV card via C or C++? Thank you very much for any assistance that you can render. - Damian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
