nspluginwrapper + native firefox 2 + flash9?
Hi everybody, I've been struggling with this all night and the archives + google aren't coming up with much except for other people's success stories. I recently ditched using the linux-firefox port in favor of the native version when I read a post about nspluginwrapper. I've spent the last 2 days upgrading many ports on my system. I think I've got things A-OK, but I cannot get nspluginwrapper to do anything meaningful with the native firefox. My config: 6.2-STABLE as of april 10th CVSup'ed ports tree as of April 10th linux_base-fc-4_9 installed--do I need fc-6?? linux-alsa-lib-1.0.10.3 also installed firefox-2.0.0.3,1 compiled and installed linux-flashplugin9 installed I did the following: % nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so saw: Install plugin /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so into /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so after firing firefox back up and doing about:plugins I see what I hoped to see: Shockwave Flash File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31 MIME TypeDescription SuffixesEnabled application/x-shockwave-flashShockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes However whenever I visit a site that utilizes Flash, nothing shows up--not even an 'outline' of what should be a flash file playing. I've tried using nspluginwrapper -r to uninstall the plugin and use linux-flashplugin7 but the results are the same. I've also tried using linux-mplayer-plugin which yielded similar results: about:plugins showed a plethora of MIME type's, descriptions, etc. but no dice. Does anybody have any clues as to what's going wrong or things I could possibly try? From all accounts seen via google, this has just worked for people ... :( Thanks in advance. -Jr -- John Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.orgwww.reynoldsnet.org Structural/Physical Design - some group - Intel jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.

Shell scripting: Absolute path name of a file given as parameter
Hi List, Just a simple question. I have developed a shell script that, among other things, shows the filename that was specified as a parameter. However, when I invoke the script and the file is located in the current working directory, it just shows: ./my_input_filename I'd like the script to show the full path name of the input file. I wonder whether there is or not an equivalent to %~f1 (Windows Batch file programming). This parameter extension expands parameter %1 ($1 in shell scripting jargon) to a Fully qualified path name.

Cant boot fresh install of freebsd 6.2 or dell poweredge 6650
I am a newbie using freebsd and have run into a problem on a new install on a dell poweredge 6650. I am installing to a hardeware raid 1 on an LSI Logic raid controller. The installation appears to go well but after a reboot the freebsd boot manager comes up with F1 to boot Freebsd (or default) and then it complains of no boot loader followed by a no /boot/kernel/kernel error. The default boot parameter is 0:ad(0,d)/boot/kernel/kernel I've tried different slices with the same results. I have tried using the MBR instead of the freebsd boot manager. I have tried different bios settings on the raid card (LSI logic in the poweredge 6650). I'm not really sure what to try next. I've even tried to install it on a different machine on a single sata drive with the same result. I am obviously doing something wrong but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.

Re: Boot failure after installation
Will someone please explain in detail how to run the FreeBSD fdisk util outside of the freebsd installer? Please provide detailed steps. You just type fdisk devname where devname is the disk device. There are a number of flags and parameters you may need to use. Have you read the fdisk man page?Also read the bsdlabel man page. What would the experts do next in this situation? I've checked and double-checked BIOS (current version is same as what I have -- 1013, so did not re-flash), SCSI BIOS (reset defaults and low-level formatted da0). I've performed Minimal FreeBSD install per step-by-step directions, and always says it's installed successfully, but can never boot from da0 (since repartitioning using FreeBSD fdisk util). I've verified that I'm creating a single partition (slice) on da0, making it the active partition, then setting it Bootable. I would first ignore the issue of cylinders as has been mentioned. I booted the FreeSBIE LiveCD, and tried to mount da0: mount /dev/da0 /mnt mount: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted First of all, do you even have a da0 drive? Maybe it is ad0 Second, is there a file system build on da0a?I haven't seen anything that indicates it. You can only mount a file system. Fdisk doesn't have much to do with creating a file system. That is newfs. The standard way to build a disk is: Use fdisk to create slice[s] (1..4) -- and possibly write an MBR on the disk. Use bsdlabel to divide the slice in to partitions (a..h) and possibly write a boot sector on the slice. Use newfs to create file systems on each of the partitions except swap c. Then you can mount any of those newfs created filesystems. You must first read the man pages for those utilities and also study the relevant handbook sections. Also, peruse the FreeBSD-questions archives. I have written on this several time recently. Find and read those. Then, if you have further specific questions, come back and ask. But, you must do your homework first or our answers will be useless to you and a waste of our time. jerry Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Apr 10, 2007 at 07:48:07PM -0700, L Goodwin wrote: Is there a way to run the FDISK tool outside of the freebds installer? How do I change the disk configuration without reinstalling freebsd every @[EMAIL PROTECTED] time? Yes, all sysinstall does is collect the information and run fdisk for you. See the man page (enter man fdisk ) It can be a little hard to read at first. The fdisk and bsdlabel don't follow the normal man page form. One thing you must know; you cannot run fdisk on a drive that is in active use. If you booted from that drive or if you are CD-ed in to a file system on the drive, the system will not let you write to the drive using fdisk. You can only use fdisk to read the slice table and run prototype setups that do not actually write out to the disk. Trying to write to a drive that is active is a very popular mistake when attempting to use fdisk. So, read the fdisk man page and then come back with some more specific questions if you need. I really want to set up a FreeBSD server and appreciate the learning experience, but it's way past the point where I should have switched to an OS that will actually run on my client's server. If I don't get it going tonight, I'm going to install the first Linux distribution that says Hey, Sailor... =8-0 Guess you will need to follow the installation instructions in the FreeBSD handbook more carefully. BTW, I burned a freeSBIE 2.0.1 Live CD, but have no idea what to do with it. Yes, I am pathetically clueless. Thanks for your patience!

Derek Ragona wrote: One other thing that might be happening is if the geometry of the drive isn't allowing an extended translation because of the age of your hardware, you may need to keep the boot partition, that is the entire boot partition (not talking slices here) within the first 1024 cylinders. In the partition tool in sysinstall you can change the display to show different units, and one of those will be cylinders. The 1024 cylinder limit is from older BIOS translations and if the boot partition extended beyond 1024 the system will give that same error you are getting. If the machine is built any less than about 11 years ago, this doesn't apply. With older hardware you may need to use multiple partitions instead of slices. You can have 4 partitons on a drive (4 is hardcoded in the partition table size and a location) so you can add additional partitions for swap and /usr if you want. Any partitions you use for filesystems like /usr the boot manager will see and offer to boot them.

Re: Cant boot fresh install of freebsd 6.2 or dell poweredge 6650
Very newbie mistake, which I finally figured out. That will teach me to read the vendors instructions more carefully than the OS documentation. Basically the problem was that I followed the instructions of the software that I will be installing on this server for the partitioning scheme. They recommended a seperate partition for boot and this evidently does not work for freebsd, which makes sense since it probably isn't mounted at boot time. As I was looking through the bsd install guides, I noticed this was never done so I gave that a try and voila!, everything works as expected.

and re-started my process, but no effect. the bug report above
suggests that this was a problem for OpenBSD due to differences in
struct sockaddr_un. Could that be a problem here as well?
the php code which communicates with the socket is below

//timeout after n seconds

}
// close socket
@socket_close($socket);

Working xorg.conf for Dell Latitude D820 laptop (NVidia Quadro NVS 120M GeForce Go 7400 512MB)?
Does anyone have a working xorg.conf for this combo working with FreeBSD 6.2? Specifically I would like the onboard LCD on the laptop to display at 1920x1200 and an attached external LCD at 1280x1024 both at 32 bit color at the same time. I think this may be called twinview (?). This configuration works fine in Windows XP so I know the hardware is capable of it. I have searched for this quite a bit, but haven't found one that does the 1920x1200 and the external display.

Re: Boot failure after installation
I have BOTH ad0 (IDE HDD) AND da0 (SCSI device #0). I posted detailed BIOS settings and install steps in previous emails. I've attached the BIOS and SCSI BIOS settings (with footnotes). I have installed FreeBSD on da0 multiple times, each time creating a single slice/partition on da0, and setting da0 as bootable, and installing the FreeBSD boot manager on da0. OK? I also found an IDE HDD yesterday, and installed Linux on ad0 (the IDE HDD), but am getting the exact same boot failure. I tried setting my bios to try booting from IDE drives first (before SCSI), and vice-versa (SCSI first, which is what it was set to), with no change. I also tried removing the IDE HDD and booting, but boot from CD-ROM drive hangs, and boot from C fails. I did not change BIOS settings re the (removed) IDE HDD. I've never worked on a machine that has both SCSI and IDE controller/drive configuration, and am not sure how to disentangle the IDE hard drive from the system without causing new problems. Ended up reinstalling the IDE HDD for now, but would like to remove it for use elsewhere (this machine has 5 SCSI drives, so don't need it).

What would the experts do next in this situation? I've checked and double-checked BIOS (current version is same as what I have -- 1013, so did not re-flash), SCSI BIOS (reset defaults and low-level formatted da0). I've performed Minimal FreeBSD install per step-by-step directions, and always says it's installed successfully, but can never boot from da0 (since repartitioning using FreeBSD fdisk util). I've verified that I'm creating a single partition (slice) on da0, making it the active partition, then setting it Bootable. I would first ignore the issue of cylinders as has been mentioned. I booted the FreeSBIE LiveCD, and tried to mount da0: mount /dev/da0 /mnt mount: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted First of all, do you even have a da0 drive? Maybe it is ad0 Second, is there a file system build on da0a?I haven't seen anything that indicates it. You can only mount a file system. Fdisk doesn't have much to do with creating a file system. That is newfs. The standard way to build a disk is: Use fdisk to create slice[s] (1..4) -- and possibly write an MBR on the disk. Use bsdlabel to divide the slice in to partitions (a..h) and possibly write a boot sector on the slice. Use newfs to create file systems on each of the partitions except swap c. Then you can mount any of those newfs created filesystems. You must first read the man pages for those utilities and also study the relevant handbook sections. Also, peruse the FreeBSD-questions archives. I have written on this several time recently. Find and read those. Then, if you have further specific questions, come back and ask. But, you must do your homework first or our answers will be useless to you and a waste of our time. jerry Jerry McAllister wrote: On Tue, Apr 10, 2007 at 07:48:07PM -0700, L Goodwin wrote: Is there a way to run the FDISK tool outside of the freebds installer?

See the man page (enter man fdisk ) It can be a little hard to read at first. The fdisk and bsdlabel don't follow the normal man page form. One thing you must know; you cannot run fdisk on a drive that is in active use. If you booted from that drive or if you are CD-ed in to a file system on the drive, the system will not let you write to the drive using fdisk. You can only use fdisk to read the slice table and run prototype setups that do not actually write out to the disk. Trying to write to a drive that is active is a very popular mistake when attempting to use fdisk. So, read the fdisk man page and then come back with some more specific questions if you need. I really want to set up a FreeBSD server and appreciate the learning experience, but it's way past the point where I should have switched to an OS that will actually run on my client's server.

Host notebook and host aixa. aixa is running FreeBSD 6.2 and XDM. notebook is running Cygwin/X (Windows XP). notebook is acting as a X-Terminal and he is displaying the login-screen of aixa. When I try to login on aixa via XDMP-Protocol I can read on aixa (XDM) in a xconsole following: Apr 12 21:45:05 aixa xdm: pam_sm_close_session(): no utmp record for notebook:0 On notebook I see the login-screen, I type my login and password, the login-screen disappears and appears again. It seems that the login failed! It seems for me a problem with the pam-module but I have no idea... Maybe somebody out there?

Mysql Hogging all system resources
I have a customer that loaded up a HUGE table and was doing all sorts of fancy stuff in it, and not waiting for the process to finish before sending the same query, and eventually loading up the server to the point where the only thing I could do was unplug it. Is there a way to prioritize or set the amount of resources that MySQL is allowed to have? Do I need to set it up as a jailed process maybe? I've never done that before, so I'm not sure if it's the right approach or not.

RE: Mysql Hogging all system resources
This isn't exactly what I want to do. According to the FreeBSD Handbook, by defining a CPU limit it will just kill any process that uses more than the limit. What I want to do is effectively throttle the process so it doesn't use up more than a certain % CPU, but still lives, esentially taking longer to process than if it had unlimited resources. That way the process still runs and the system isn't taken to it's knees. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 1:32 PM To: Don O'Neil Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mysql Hogging all system resources In response to Don O'Neil [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a customer that loaded up a HUGE table and was doing all sorts of fancy stuff in it, and not waiting for the process to finish before sending the same query, and eventually loading up the server to the point where the only thing I could do was unplug it.

That is, we will upload it from here in at the main office, and the China staff will download it to implement the little containers we're building.

I've found several BSD based router/firewall/whatever servers out there, such as m0n0wall and pfsense, among others, and I would like something that simple for an FTP server. That is, I want to be able to install the server and then only have to configure users, no mess with hardening things and setting up pf or so ... Does such a thing exist? Am I needlessly complicating things for myself in another way (often the case, I'm little more than a user when it comes to FreeBSD)? Any kind of guidance on this topic would be appreciated --- if what I want to do can be done with a custom install of FreeBSD, that'd be wonderful also. Thank you in advance for any guidance. Try pure-ftpd in the ports collection. It's nice that it supports virtual users (so you don't need to have system users for each user who uses the ftp), bandw. throttling, and lots of other nice things. It's also reasonably small. Apart from that, you only need ssh access to the box to configure things when needed, and you're ready to go. -- Best regards, Ghirai. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Complete loss of network on 6_STABLE
I have a 6 stable box that I cvsup'd at around 5:15am central US time this morning. I did a buildworld and buildkernel on it after checking the UPDATING file and finding nothing since 6.2 release, ran mergemaster and rebooted, so I was a little surprised when it never came back. Once I gained physical access to the box, I discovered it had no apparent ability to open a sock - neither unix, nor udp nor tcp. I can ping localhost, but not other IP's on my network. X tells me host.domain.name:0 is a bad display name. So I need to know how to get things back up and running. Is this a known problem that has been fixed, or have I stumbled across something no one else has seen? As a side note, I have to give major props to all the developers - it sounds like my situation is really bad, but this is the first major problem I've had in over 7 years of tracking -STABLE of one version or another. Let me know if I can just cvsup another 6-stable box and burn it to a disc and copy it off on here, or what I need to do to fix this, because I'm lost. For the record: mergemaster -p make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=mykernel make installworld make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernel mergemaster -a reboot came up with no sockets. At this point: rm -rf /usr/obj make clean make buildworld ...etc - still no sockets. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
