So I thought it might be my sound since it wasn't configured and I had read a few things that said that sometimes caused KDE to crash. Also disabled a few buggy plugins and what not and still it keeps on freezing on me. The annoying thing is its totally random - It could be running for several hours before it freezes; and sometimes it freezes the moment I log on. Its frozen at last count 7 times today and I ended up having to do a some random hardrive check as boot up was starting to fail and logging me in as single mode user only. Anyway - to get to the point; is there a log somewhere that I can check out in console mode which incidently never crashes that might help me pinpoint the problem? Thanks in advance, Gemma I apologize in advance if this advice is too rudimentary. Sounds more like hardware. You did not say how you tested your memory. If you did not use Memtest86, get and run that. Also run fsck manually. If the hardware checks out okay, you can try to isolate what is failing. Turn of various compoents one at a time. For example turn off the wireles interface and work normally. If that still fails, set up a dd command or a benchmark program to run under kde buut without the network. You can set up either of these to run overnight so you should get a good idea that the test worked or not. If you get a failure without the network repeat the test using twm (its built into xorg). If all this fails to identify the problem you need at least to get a kernel dump. The developers handbook has information on this.

Hi All,
I am trying to use GNU assembly. I am trying simple thing such as ,
moving content of memory location into general purpose register (ax).
I have following code :
struct context {
unsigned long mask[8];
} CONTEXT;
int main()
{
CONTEXT sr;
sr.mask[5] = 0x8FED;
__asm ( movw %0, %ax : : m (*(unsigned
short*)sr.mask[5]) );
return 0;
}
Compiler complains with error bad substitution directive in asm
instruction.
I tried changing the code something like this :
__asm ( movw %0, %ax : : m (*(unsigned short*)sr.mask+5) );
Still error is same, then I tried following:
Unsigned short* ptemp = sr.mask[5];
__asm ( movw %0, %ax : : m (*(unsigned short*)ptemp) );
But still no luck, compiler reported same error as mentioned above
Any help is appreciated. Please let me know where I am mistake.
Thanks,

You should add a backslash before each slash
that is not used as a separator for the s command.
E.g.
s/I want to substitute the \/ character/with the _ character/
s/\/\/\//three slashes/
You can also use a separator of choice for the s command.
That is:
s/foo/bar/ is equivalent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@bar@
is equivalent to sAfooAbarA
is equivalent to s1foo1bar1.
keep in mind, that our sed might not be
totally compatible with GNU sed.

Thank for you anserw but the result is bad again :)

}
Sed and csh is strange no ? I think \n \t not supported by csh.
well yesterday i tried with awk command :
echo MAKE_ARGS = { | awk '{ sub(/MAKE_ARGS = {/, MAKE_ARGS =
{\n\t\'\'ports-mgmtp/portupgrade' =
\'\'WITH_BDB4=1',\n\t\'\'sysutils/fastest_cvsup' =

The resultat is not bad but incomplete :
MAKE_ARGS = {
'ports-mgmtp/portupgrade = 'WITH_BDB4=1,
'sysutils/fastest_cvsup = 'WITH_ROUNDTRIP=1,
'mail/nbsmtp = 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1,
}
I should have that :
MAKE_ARGS = {
'ports-mgmtp/portupgrade*'* = 'WITH_BDB4=1*'*,
'sysutils/fastest_cvsup*'* = 'WITH_ROUNDTRIP=1*'*,
'mail/nbsmtp*'* = 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1*'*,
}
Single quotes(') have special meaning to the shell. You
have to cancel the special meaning using backslashes.
For example:
%set a = foo\'bar
%echo $a
foo'bar
%set a = foo\bar
%echo $a
foobar
As I see in your code above, not every single quote is backslashed.
Asterisks should be backslashed in order to passed literally to awk.
awk has also special characters, which also should be backslashed
to be treated as simple characters. For example(bash, not csh):
nik:0:~$ echo | awk '{ print(foo\bar) }'
foobar
It gets complicated since some characters are special to both, csh
and awk. Frequently, you have to use backslashed backslashes, to get
the wanted result... You should check the csh and awk manual page.
Last but not least, do you have use csh?
It's not recommend for scripting.

For example the auto industry has agreed on a standard time that a car engine computer must be fully operational, it is very short, no more than something like 2 seconds or so. Enough so that when you turn the key and the engine starts cranking, that the engine computer has completely booted and is running by the second crank. That is why you probably will never see standard computer hardware used in the operating room of a hospital to control patient life support, for example. If for example during an operation the computer controlling an artificial heart suddenly dies, the staff simply unplugs the lines from the computer and plug them into another computer which then is switched on and within a second has come fully ready, and operating. You could not wait the 30-60 seconds that POST on a regular PC would take to complete. If it's taking 30-60 seconds just for your system to POST, there's something desperately wrong. My laptop gets all the way to a login prompt in that range.

Depending on what you are attempting to do, the variable nature of interrupt responses could be an issue. I.e. if the system becomes io bound during a data capture cycle, and something occurs that requires a response within a very narrow window, it is possible to miss the window due to other interrupt processes running. For this reason, robotics systems often run on highly optimised single process systems where there is a 'guaranteed' poll cycle and / or a very minimal defined interrupt system with minimal overheads.

It seems it's an issue with X, not necessarily with your login manager.
- Check what X logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log - PLEASE dont paste the lot in
here blindly - errors / problems are usually clearly marked. Send those here
for help.
- Disable all login managers (gdm,etc), then start X by itself (startx) - it
may start gnome, or maybe twm. if it doesn't, it would most definitely point to
- did you upgrade to Xorg 7.2 recently? did you follow the upgrade process to a
successful completion?

You should add a backslash before each slash
that is not used as a separator for the s command.
E.g.
s/I want to substitute the \/ character/with the _ character/
s/\/\/\//three slashes/
You can also use a separator of choice for the s command.
That is:
s/foo/bar/ is equivalent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@bar@
is equivalent to sAfooAbarA
is equivalent to s1foo1bar1.
keep in mind, that our sed might not be
totally compatible with GNU sed.
HTH, Nikos
Thank for you anserw but the result is bad again :)
I tryed this : sed
s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/MAKE_ARGS\1{\n\t'mail\/nbsmtp' = 'WITH_IPV6=1
WITH_SSL=1',/ /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
but i have this with cat /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
MAKE_ARGS = {nt'mail/nbsmtp' = 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1',
}
Sed and csh is strange no ? I think \n \t not supported by csh.
well yesterday i tried with awk command :
echo MAKE_ARGS = { | awk '{ sub(/MAKE_ARGS = {/, MAKE_ARGS =
{\n\t\'\'ports-mgmtp/portupgrade' =
\'\'WITH_BDB4=1',\n\t\'\'sysutils/fastest_cvsup' =
\'\'WITH_ROUNDTRIP=1',\n\t\'\'mail/nbsmtp' ='WITH_IPV6=1
WITH_SSL=1',\n}); print; }'
The resultat is not bad but incomplete :
MAKE_ARGS = {
'ports-mgmtp/portupgrade = 'WITH_BDB4=1,
'sysutils/fastest_cvsup = 'WITH_ROUNDTRIP=1,
'mail/nbsmtp = 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1,
}
I should have that :
MAKE_ARGS = {
'ports-mgmtp/portupgrade*'* = 'WITH_BDB4=1*'*,
'sysutils/fastest_cvsup*'* = 'WITH_ROUNDTRIP=1*'*,
'mail/nbsmtp*'* = 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1*'*,
}
Single quotes(') have special meaning to the shell. You
have to cancel the special meaning using backslashes.
For example:
%set a = foo\'bar
%echo $a
foo'bar
%set a = foo\bar
%echo $a
foobar
As I see in your code above, not every single quote is backslashed.
Asterisks should be backslashed in order to passed literally to awk.
awk has also special characters, which also should be backslashed
to be treated as simple characters. For example(bash, not csh):
nik:0:~$ echo | awk '{ print(foo\bar) }'
foobar
It gets complicated since some characters are special to both, csh
and awk. Frequently, you have to use backslashed backslashes, to get
the wanted result... You should check the csh and awk manual page.
Last but not least, do you have use csh?
It's not recommend for scripting.
HTH, Nikos
Hello,
I founded solution with awk command and that works well.

Re: Upgrading x.org to 7.2 (to make other ports happy)
Please read the instructions more carefully. You are supposed to run a program called script with the parameter xorg-upgrade. script is a program which will create a file called xorg-upgrade. All the commands you subsequently type and all the output you get will be logged in the file xorg-upgrade, so that if something goes wrong you have a log of the errors to refer to, cut-and-pate from etc. I just read my reply to this from the weekend. Wow, it sounds like I'm a complete idiot. Ok, what I meant to say (had other things on my mind this weekend) was that being unfamiliar with 'script' I thought it was some sort of interpreter through which I had to run this xorg-upgrade script mentioned in the UPDATING file. As you can see, my lack of understanding for script lead to a bad assumption. Thanks again for setting me straight. Just for the record, once my understanding was set right, the upgrade went flawlessly. Great instructions!

Apparent IP configuration change . . .
FreeBSD users: Until recently I've been running a very low-maintenance FreeBSD router with FBSD 6.2. The IP setup was a dynamic IP configuration with Verizon as my DSL provider in NJ. The connection was virtually trouble-free. I switched to a static IP about 10 days ago and the IP configuration no longer works. The modem for both IP configurations is a Westell 6100 modem running a Bridge protocol for both connections. When I plug the modem directly into the FreeBSD box or a Windows box and let the modem act as a router, the connection comes up with no problem. But when I configure the modem to act as a transparent bridge connection so the FreeBSD box can function as the router, the network connection is unavailable even though the PPP connection is up (according to the modem interface). I'm thinking that there has been a change on the provider end because of the conversion to a static IP, but I can't figure out how to set up the PPP connection in the the ppp.conf file. Here's what worked for the dynamic IP connection: verizon: set device PPPoE:rl0 set authname xxx set authkey xxx add default HISADDR Here's what I've set up for the static IP connection: verizon: set device PPPoE:rl0 set authname xxx set authkey xxx add default HISADDR set ifaddr 70.0.0.54 70.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 The rc.conf file is standard for setting up a PPP connection. Is a different setup required to configure a static IP to work with FreeBSD? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Re: KDE 3.5 Crashing
Hello Gemma, Hello Nikola Although it really looks like hardware, you can also do this to be 100% sure it isn't software related: (1) Had you used that computer before you have installed FreeBSD? It would be a nice idea to post here the output of your 'dmesg' or /var/log/messages. Yes it was running XP - will post output once I finalise this car sale and have a spare moment. :) (2) Have you tried to run a small script as Matthias proposed? Not yet - am reading up on how to run a script :) (3) Are you sure your ports are up-to-date? If in doubt, install ports-mgmt/portupgrade and run # portversion -v -L = To cut a long scary story short sort of. I've actually reinstalled 6.2, 4 times as I seem to have so many little things missing I wasn't sure if it was me or the install. So upgrading ports always eneded up crashing. Anyway first few times went the full install, final time went with as just a user install without X. After that i installed X and then KDE from the ports collection. Attempted a 7.2 upgrade thinking that might help a few problems and in a word - nightmare. A week later after finally getting past the libxfct step the actual upgrade crashed as it couldn't seem to create the xorg-libraries 7.2 directory. So I just decided to ignore it for a while. But aside from xorg - everything else is up to date. (4) If yes, as of how to check X without KDE, do the following: (a) run 'xinit' without ~/.xinitrc file to avoid starting KDE and or any other window manager; (once you start it, you can go back by 'exit' or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace; please note that you must put the mouse over the window in order to move focus on it); (b) check if there are warning -- (WW) -- or other suspicious messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log; (c) while in pure xinit session, run Firefox or other application that is not KDE/Qt related; (d) run Opera, Skype or similar app that is Qt- but not KDE-related; (e) run KDE applications (Konqueror, KMail, etc.) and report one by one what happened, from (1) to (4e).

I installed it like this (extensions to) http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/04/14/installing-web-server-in-freebsd-60-with-apache-22-mysql-50-and-php-5-part-5/ The only difference is that I'm using 1.3 and not 2.x of Apache. Apache config below Installing 2.x isn't an option yet (test server, still need 1.3) fire2# grep -i php * httpd.conf:AddType application/x-httpd-php .php httpd.conf:AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps httpd.conf:IfModule mod_php3.c httpd.conf:IfModule mod_php4.c httpd.conf:DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html httpd.conf:IfModule !mod_php4.c httpd.conf:DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.html httpd.conf:IfModule !mod_php3.c httpd.conf:IfModule mod_php4.c httpd.conf:DirectoryIndex index.php index.html httpd.conf:IfModule !mod_php4.c httpd.conf:IfModule mod_php3.c httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .php3s httpd.conf:IfModule mod_php4.c httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
