Sadly, my tinker-time has run out....
Hey, all... I've been a user of FreeBSD and OpenBSD for quite a while now. Unfortunatly, I haven't had much time to tinker lately, and that's unlikely to change in the near future. Sadly, I need to get an OS that my wife would be more comfortable using and that wouldn't be as time-comsuming to make it more comfortable for her. I downloaded the uberyl live CD and found that ubuntu seems to pick up on everything I have on the laptop (as well as all the attachments), so I'm downloading it now. Because I've put so much time into getting this FreeBSD install where it is now (and because I favor the BSDs), I'm still a bit hesitant... Has anyone here had much experience with ubunu as a desktop? Negatives/positives? Kind of OT, I guess... I'd just rather hear it from someone in this group rather than the inevitable, Oh yeah. You won't be sorry. from the ubuntu folk (salespitches == fingernails on a chalkboard :) ). Thanks, Mike PS. Yes, I've played with PC-BSD.

I am working (and tinkering as you put it) with many kinds of systems: Fedora / Ubuntu as desktops, Debian as servers, FreeBSD both desktops and servers, Windows 2003 servers, XP desktops, even Vista :) To put it simply, every system has its strong points, ups and downs. For example, Windows has drivers for everything - many are crap, but they still exist - and a few applications you just can't replace with anything else. Ubuntu, the one you are considering, is based on Debian, which I consider excellent, especially for servers. But if you are coming from a FreeBSD background, Ubuntu will seem rather restrictive and easy. It is an easy desktop for *NIX beginners, and it is now marketed as the Linux you will never have to touch the command line. As I recall, the default install will not even setup gcc, although the package (build-essential) is on CD. There are obviously a lot of helper apps, like automatic installation of codecs etc. but it is still Linux. If you are a power user you will need to tinker it, and there will be things missing you will need to install. Example: First time I tried to mount some NFS shares, they were taking ages. I found out it was missing the nfs-common package. Maybe a beginner does not care about it, but I consider this basic functionality and expect it to be there (or that I will be informed it is not, beforehand). I also need the compiler, kernel headers and stuff to compile kernel modules. Ubuntu seems to have a lot of ready made things, good for beginners but quite limiting for me, I have to actually rip things out to install my stuff (e.g. disable their versions of some restricted drivers to install mine). That being said, it is making an alternate, non-Windows desktop accessible to a lot of people, which I consider a good thing. Though I suggest Ubuntu to enthusiastic Linux beginners, I find it difficult to give an argument for anyone with an average FreeBSD knowledge. At home I mostly use Fedora as a Linux desktop. The part of your post I don't really understand, is what is really bothering you with your FreeBSD install. Are you missing programs / features you just can't live without? Is it something to do with the ports / packages? Installing, customizing and becoming familiar with your FreeBSD system does take some time, but this is followed by a very long effortless stable operation. Assuming a typical installation where users' needs don't constantly change, you can easily maintain a FreeBSD install with minimum hassle. And how is Ubuntu going to be any easier for your wife? Assuming you are administering the machine, a FreeBSD with a Gnome desktop will be more or less the same from the user standpoint to Ubuntu (or any other distro) with Gnome. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Use swap backing and you won't panic when memory is low. Yes, sounds likely, thanks. One more question then, where is the md information stored through a reboot? I did not edit rc.conf or fstab or kernel config but still /dev/md0 came back up. Hmmm. It's not, unless something is explicitly creating it each time you boot. Perhaps you are using a rc.conf setting that creates a md /tmp. Indeed, here it was: amavisd_enable=YES amavisd_ram=512m and the line in rc.d/amavisd mdmfs -M -s ${amavisd_ram} -w vscan:vscan md /var/amavis/tmp || true for some reason creates a malloc based mfs Perhaps I should check this with the maintainer... Yes, malloc backing for md should be used in almost no situations. Am I right in thinking such situations would then be limited to diskless / flashdisk / embedded systems having no swap? Seems obvious, but .. Sort of. Swap backing will still work when you have no swap, and it's still faster than malloc backing. The problem is that I think backing store reservation (-o reserve) doesn't work unless you have actual swap to back everything, whereas with malloc backing it reserves in memory. This means that it is easy to overcommit memory and the system will probably panic when it suddenly finds no free memory for the md (as in the original email). Ideally if no swap was configured, swap backing would also reserve the space in memory, and then I am not aware of any other reasons to continue using malloc backing.

I think you need to figure out what this 'transparent proxy mode' of netsed does, cause it should under no circumstances forward to itself... it simply forwards the packet to the dst_ip:dst_port it originally had. But, as Daniel H pointed out, those packets had been rewritten by pf's rdr to go TO netsed's ip:port hence netsed wont change anything. It works fine in non-proxy mode, but as I said in my first msg, that is not an option for me. So the obvious question is how to get the packets to netsed's IP:PORT without having the packet's original destination IP/PORT changedmaybe incorporating the netsed code into a socks5-compatible server (in my case, the app that generates the packets understands SOCKS). Alas, I am drawing a blank here atm. Otherwise, i can only think that a new netgraph node would perform better than my current pf + netsed approach Figured I'd take a shot at it and it works: # ./netsed tcp 10101 0 0 s/boo/GET/ netsed 0.01b by Michal Zalewski [EMAIL PROTECTED] [*] Parsing rule s/boo/GET/...

I may put together some BSD specific documentation for this port, and possible add some build-time options to the port. Also, if memory serves me right, ipfw's divert may not be modifying the packets : i have used ipfw diver with the tcpmss daemon and there were no issues - of course, it may be that tcpmss checked with ipfw's table to see what change had been done, in which case netsed should support it too.

xfce4 and 6.2: dbus-daemon is using 100% cpu
Hi everyone, I'm running 6.2-RELEASE on two systems (a Pentium 4 and a dual Athlon), and whenever I log into Xfce4, I notice that a process called dbus-daemon is invoked and eats up 100% of the CPU when no other processes are running. If another process is running, dbus-daemon only hogs about 50% of the CPU, but this is still frustrating. If, for example, I am compiling a port, dbus-daemon takes about 50% of my CPU time, leaving only half the processor's time for compiling. I am fairly new to xfce, and googling the issue hasn't helped me out. Any ideas? How can I fix dbus so it doesn't use so much CPU, or how can I disable it completely? I know it is used for inter-application communication, but I'm not entirely sure I need it (I don't see any adverse effects when I kill it manually). I don't see anything unusual in /var/log/messages, nor any errors in ~/.xsession-errors.

I am trying to get help2man to work with a CPAN-only installation. It does not. *IT* is trying to mix a port-perl-module, not me. You have perl modules installed, that have no corresponding installed FreeBSD port.

Re: Sadly, my tinker-time has run out....
On Sunday 02 September 2007 07:12:37 am Manolis Kiagias proclaimed: Michael Hauber wrote: Hey, all... I've been a user of FreeBSD and OpenBSD for quite a while now. Unfortunatly, I haven't had much time to tinker lately, and that's unlikely to change in the near future. Sadly, I need to get an OS that my wife would be more comfortable using and that wouldn't be as time-comsuming to make it more comfortable for her. I downloaded the uberyl live CD and found that ubuntu seems to pick up on everything I have on the laptop (as well as all the attachments), so I'm downloading it now. Because I've put so much time into getting this FreeBSD install where it is now (and because I favor the BSDs), I'm still a bit hesitant... Has anyone here had much experience with ubunu as a desktop? Negatives/positives? Kind of OT, I guess... I'd just rather hear it from someone in this group rather than the inevitable, Oh yeah. You won't be sorry. from the ubuntu folk (salespitches == fingernails on a chalkboard :) ). Thanks, Mike PS. Yes, I've played with PC-BSD. Unfortunately, that's still more work than I have time for. I am working (and tinkering as you put it) with many kinds of systems: Fedora / Ubuntu as desktops, Debian as servers, FreeBSD both desktops and servers, Windows 2003 servers, XP desktops, even Vista :) To put it simply, every system has its strong points, ups and downs. For example, Windows has drivers for everything - many are crap, but they still exist - and a few applications you just can't replace with anything else. Ubuntu, the one you are considering, is based on Debian, which I consider excellent, especially for servers. But if you are coming from a FreeBSD background, Ubuntu will seem rather restrictive and easy. It is an easy desktop for *NIX beginners, and it is now marketed as the Linux you will never have to touch the command line. As I recall, the default install will not even setup gcc, although the package (build-essential) is on CD. There are obviously a lot of helper apps, like automatic installation of codecs etc. but it is still Linux. If you are a power user you will need to tinker it, and there will be things missing you will need to install. Example: First time I tried to mount some NFS shares, they were taking ages. I found out it was missing the nfs-common package. Maybe a beginner does not care about it, but I consider this basic functionality and expect it to be there (or that I will be informed it is not, beforehand). I also need the compiler, kernel headers and stuff to compile kernel modules. Ubuntu seems to have a lot of ready made things, good for beginners but quite limiting for me, I have to actually rip things out to install my stuff (e.g. disable their versions of some restricted drivers to install mine). That being said, it is making an alternate, non-Windows desktop accessible to a lot of people, which I consider a good thing. Though I suggest Ubuntu to enthusiastic Linux beginners, I find it difficult to give an argument for anyone with an average FreeBSD knowledge. At home I mostly use Fedora as a Linux desktop. The part of your post I don't really understand, is what is really bothering you with your FreeBSD install. Are you missing programs / features you just can't live without? Is it something to do with the ports / packages? Installing, customizing and becoming familiar with your FreeBSD system does take some time, but this is followed by a very long effortless stable operation. Assuming a typical installation where users' needs don't constantly change, you can easily maintain a FreeBSD install with minimum hassle. And how is Ubuntu going to be any easier for your wife? Assuming you are administering the machine, a FreeBSD with a Gnome desktop will be more or less the same from the user standpoint to Ubuntu (or any other distro) with Gnome. These responses have all been informative, and I appreciate them very much... To answer your question, it's a matter of access for both me and my wife. Due to my job, we travel quite a bit. For my wife, it's the small things like, My sister just sent me a link to a video on youtube and it's not working right. For me, it's the hours I spend pouring over it, trying to get it to work for her. Personally, I prefer to build everything from ports because I can get the custom builds. On this machine, that takes quite a bit of time. In one case (when FreeBSD ports went to x.org7.2 ), it took over a week to upgrade (I arrived at a hotel and immediately started the upgrade, and when it came time a week later to check out, I had to stop it... That ended up creating a huge mess)... I'd like to think I'm pretty familiar with the BSDs. I've been using both FreeBSD and OpenBSD since around '98 (both as desktops and various kinds of servers...

Krusader - [Shift + Delete] and SFTP
Hello, I have two problems: 1. Problem === I want to ask, how to set in Krusader 1.80.0 key binding or action such: [Shift] + [Delete] - delete file permanently This is not default under FreeBSD, why? On the page: http://krusader.sourceforge.net/handbook/basic.html#deleting I'm reading that: Deleting files/directories is done by selecting them and pressing F8 or Delete. By defaultit will be moved to KDE's Trash, Shift+Delete will delete the file permanently. But when I'm looking on shortcat in Krusader in FreeBSD: Settings - Configure Shortcuts and then Action ShortcutAlternate Cut to Clipboard Ctrl+X Shift+Delete Delete F8 Why this is that done, that [Shift+ Delete] is binding to action Cut to Clipboard? I also cannot find option as Delete permanently. Of course I can reasign Shift+Delete to action Delete as alternace shortcut, but this don't delete file permanently, but move file to Trash. I can only delete file permanently from poupmenu, where there are two option: Delete and Move to Trash (and others of course). 2. Problem = Why I cannot connect by ssh (sftp) to other machine? Under Debian I can. Please check what I am trying to do: Tools - New Net Connections ... then Protocol: sftp:// Host: a.b.c.d Port: 22 user and password and then click Connect. Then I obtain: Error encountered while talking to ssh. and then I obtain second error: Unknown error Error encountered while talking to ssh. It only work when I connect by protocol fish:// Why? Why protocol sftp://; does not work? As I mention earlier under Linux it work. I'm sorry for my English, and I'm sorry for the details, but it should work exactly as stated in Krusader handbook, no mater what this is Linux or Unix it should works as expected. Please for help with this issues or comments, why this is that. I'm using FreeBSD 6.2, Krusader from ports (x11-fm/krusader).

You just install VNC. Then type vncserver and you will guided to create password and given server extension. So for instance if your server name is oko.net and vnc client number 1 you will access it with vncviewer oko.net:1 To customize your vnc experience file .vnc/xstartup must be edited. You can specify Window Manager or Desktop. Your firewall must be adjusted as well. Thanks, that describes what I have done. I will try again after the next time I update ports. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only tricks that I can think of are remembering the right window/port and allowing the ports through the firewall. I did not use TightVNC, but some other VNC.

BSDstats Statistics for Aug, 2007 ...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Although I should send this out more often then I do, last month was a particularly good month, with *everyone* except for NetBSD going up in numbers ... First off all, for those that aren't aware: The mission of this site is to compile semi-accurate numbers for advocacy and marketing of the *BSD operating systems. Through interaction with several system administrators out there, from a security / anonymity perspective, we have tried to design things such that we save nothing in the database that could be used to compromise your servers ... no hostname, no IP ... The stats have also been designed to allow for multiple reporting by the same host each month (ie. rebooting your desktop), so it doesn't have to be run just on the first of the month. The web site, although it looks good, is incomplete at this time ... Anthony, our 'webmaster' has been a wee bit pre-occupied the past little while, but hopes to be able to dive back in again by the end of the month, and clean up some of the reports. To date, we have the following *BSD distributions reporting in: DesktopBSD DragonFly FreeBSD GNU/kFreeBSD MidnightBSD MirBSD NetBSD OpenBSD PC-BSD PC-BSD, to the best of our knowledge, is the only one that defaults to enabled, while the rest have to be enabled manually. For FreeBSD users, you just need to install /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats to set things up. And that's the sales pitch ... over the past few months, we've broken the 11,000k host mark ... Since we don't have any 'trend reports' on the site yet, please feel free to visit http://bsdstats.org/os_report.php?lastmonth to see changes from July - August ... But, overall for August: DesktopBSD+152.7% DragonFly + 5.3% FreeBSD + 2.7% GNU/kFreeBSD +150.0% MidnightBSD +100.0% MirBSD+190.0% NetBSD- 5.5% OpenBSD + 13.5% PC-BSD+ 0.2% === + 5.1% If you aren't participating, we very much encourage you to start ... the report script is a shell script, so you can scan it to figure out what, exactly, is being sent in .. and there is only one level of reporting that is required, and that is Operating System + Version ... Device and Ports reporting are 100% optional ... For those that are participating ... once more, thank you ... and spread the word, we need more reporters :) - Marc G.
