Re: huawei e220 hsdpa on freebsd 6.3-BETA2
Your HSDPA modem presented itself like a mass storage device, probably
with
some autorun and virus like drivers intended for the Windows operating
system :-)
unfortunately, this is the intended behaviour. this device has the
ability to present itself as mass storage which will show up as a
cd-rom device where the windows drivers are stored on.
this is the way it works under windows:
- plug it in first time
- (auto)run the setup on the device for the win-driver
- as soon as the driver is loaded, the cd device disappears and a modem is
detected
but when loading the ucom/ubsa stuff before umass, the device will
not be recognised as /dev/cdX and show up as a communication device
(ucom).
of course there must be a way for getting the serial device working,
because this is one of the most sold umts/hsdpa modems across eu and
many people run it under linux as well (there are no drivers from
the vendor provided except windows and mac).
i'm pretty sure there is some message or anything else which will
render this device switching to serial mode.
there is some code, which i found (doesn't compile/run under freebsd)
which puts this device in pure serial mode. maybe someone out there
is able to tell me, how/if this can be done on freebsd as well?
(btw, i'm not a c-guru)
do you (or anybody else reading this) have an idea, how to get this
device working and put it in serial mode completely ?

all work on one machine.
It is possible to have both FreeBSD and Microsoft Windows installed on the
same hard-disk and at boot time choose which one to run.
FreeBSD does not require a dedicated driver, but it does need a (primary)
partition (slice in FreeBSD-speak) on the harddisk.
If you already have a free partition with sufficient space (a few gigabytes
should be plenty) there should be no problems installing FreeBSD. (Although
I have heard some rumors that Windows Vista makes it difficult to dual-boot
other systems. I don't know if there is any substance to this.)
If your Windows-installation already uses the whole hard-disk you will need
to do *something* to get space for FreeBSD. I know that there are
Windows-based tools that can shrink existing partitions without requiring a
re-install of everything ('Partition Magic' is probably the most famous),
but I have no personal experience with any of them.

Now, I don't know what type of laptop you got, but since it is a Vista laptop, it is obviously one of the newest models. In most cases, disk partitions on these are: 1. Recovery partition for the pre-installed OS 2. Main Windows installation 3. Data Partition The first (recovery) partition does not have a drive letter assigned to it in Windows, so it is not directly viewable from Windows explorer. The size is usually around 7-8Gb. The rest of the disk is usually split between C: (Windows) and D: (for user storage). If this is the case, you would probably prefer to shrink the partition assigned to D:, since Vista needs quite some space for itself and the applications. To shrink the partition you could try Norton Partition Magic, or, even better, download and run the GParted live CD. If you intend to experiment with ports, packages and the like on FreeBSD, I suggest you leave a couple of Gigabytes for the slice. It all depends of course on what you plan to install. Bear in mind FreeBSD's slice must be created as primary partition, so you must not have more than three primary partitions on your disk prior to creating the slice. When installing FreeBSD, you will be asked whether you would like to install a Boot Manager. Answer NO (select to leave the MBR untouched). When installation is finished, reboot to Vista (it will be your only option anyway), and download and install EasyBCD (it is a free program, google for it). With this, in a few clicks, you will create an option to boot FreeBSD in Vista's boot menu. It is trivial as the program detects the FreeBSD partition automatically. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are several ways to do it but they all depend on you repartitioning your drive to hold an additional primary partition for FreeBSD. There are several commercial products that can do this reliably (I've only used Partition Magic) but I don't think there are open-source or free products with similar reliability. After you get the primary partition, you can most likely just install FreeBSD on it and it will just work, offering you to choose between the Windows and the FreeBSD systems. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hopefully an easy header rewriting problem for Postfix
I essentially want to rewrite all envelope senders of the form: @host.my.domain to just @my.domain The examples in the Postfix docs seem to make it seem like the patterns only allow you to specify explicit recipients at the end of a rewriting rule, but that's not what I want. I know this was a common thing to do in Sendmail using that hideous CF syntax. Any cluepons would be very much appreciated.

For generic informatin http://dsteinbrook.googlepages.com/hpliponfreebsd Make sure you start HPLIP daemons before the CUPS daemon. Make sure you understand the part of the article about the kernel! ulpt driver must be out of kernel!!! Make sure you add printers using http://localhost:631 before you go to HP management program. Finally, parallel printers are not supported by HPLIP no matter what they say. They are only supported if you could attach them directly to the local network on the very specific way. Also there is whole class of HP printers that not supported as they use very unusual protocol to communicate with the printer server Qoute from HPLIP website. Question: Are drivers available for the Deskjet 710C, 712C, 720C, 722C, 820Cse, 820Cxi, 1000Cse, 1000Cxi; or LaserJet 1000, 1005, 1020, 3100; or Color LaserJet 1500, 2600 printers? Answer: These are non-standard host based printers. Currently there are no plans to support these printers in HPLIP. Ghostscript print filters for the Deskjet products can be found at the pnm2ppa project. These printers are supported with http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/print/foo2zjs/pkg-descr driver and I personally would not waist my time with them. If you are managing printers in your company the best decision that you could make is to have only printers that can speak postscript language and not worry about drivers to begin with. HPLIP is the great thing if you want to get full functionality from you ALL-IN-ONE devices (including scanning) and things like toner option. Printers however on your network will still be managed by CUPS spooling system. I believe that HPLIP cannot work with other spooling systems that you might like better than CUPS so that could be also another reason always to use printers that can speak postscript language.

unfortunately, this is the intended behaviour. this device has the
ability to present itself as mass storage which will show up as a
cd-rom device where the windows drivers are stored on.
this is the way it works under windows:
- plug it in first time
- (auto)run the setup on the device for the win-driver
- as soon as the driver is loaded, the cd device disappears and a modem is
detected
but when loading the ucom/ubsa stuff before umass, the device will
not be recognised as /dev/cdX and show up as a communication device
(ucom).
of course there must be a way for getting the serial device working,
because this is one of the most sold umts/hsdpa modems across eu and
many people run it under linux as well (there are no drivers from
the vendor provided except windows and mac).
i'm pretty sure there is some message or anything else which will
render this device switching to serial mode.
there is some code, which i found (doesn't compile/run under freebsd)
which puts this device in pure serial mode. maybe someone out there
is able to tell me, how/if this can be done on freebsd as well?
(btw, i'm not a c-guru)
do you (or anybody else reading this) have an idea, how to get this
device working and put it in serial mode completely ?
Hi,
You can try the following test program and see what happens. You need to run
it like super-user:
#include stdio.h
#include fcntl.h
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include stdlib.h
#include unistd.h
#include sys/types.h
#include dev/usb/usb.h
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
struct usb_ctl_request ucr = { /* zero */ };
int f;
if (argc 3) {
printf(Usage: %s /dev/usb1 addr\n, argv[0]);
return 1;
}
f = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
if (f 0) {
return 1;
}
ucr.ucr_addr = atoi(argv[2]);
ucr.ucr_request.bmRequestType = 0;
ucr.ucr_request.bRequest = 3; /* SET_FEATURE */
ucr.ucr_request.wValue[0] = 1;
if (ioctl(f, USB_REQUEST, ucr)) {
printf(Error!\n);
}
close (f);
return 0;
}
Use usbdevs -v to get the parameters. Don't forget to load umodem.
If my program doesn't work, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of
your modem, and tell them the truth, that the device is a mass-storage device
and that you want the money back! You paid for a modem, but got a
mass-storage device. You can tell them that FreeBSD USB experts have looked
at your device. There is no doubt about it that you've been fooled :-)
--HPS
HINT: HINT: Buy a HDSPA modem that comes with a CD-ROM. Then there is a
greater chance that they did not put the drivers on the device itself.

Re: FreeBSD on a PC with Windows
On Fri, Dec 07, 2007 at 11:10:28PM +1100, David Morton wrote: I have been out of work so long (since being diagnosed as autistic and scared) that even as an IT professional, I now get very anxious about messing with my PC. However, I got a magazine that included FreeBSD/i386 6.2 on the DVD and I have always wanted to play with BSD. My past experience included UNIX System V, some Solaris 7 or 8, and other variants, so you know a bit of history. Anyway, I have a laptop preinstalled with Vista Home Premium and I would like to also run BSD on it. In reading your installation documentation, I do not see anything that suggests I can install FreeBSD onto my PC without wiping Windows. The process is fairly easy. It it called 'dual booting' and is covered in the FreeBSD Handbook. I have done this on numerous machines over the last ten years or so. The basic steps are as follows -- but you should study up on each yourself. -- Make room to install FreeBSD. FreeBSD does not require a dedicated disk, but it does require at least one dedicated primary slice - which is called a primary partition in MS World. Making room can consist of any of: - Use a separate disk - Shrink the existing slice[s] (primary partitions) and create a new slice in the freed up space. - delete an existing slice (primary partition) and turn it in to a FreeBSD slice. Probably the middle one is what you will need to do on a laptop. First of all, you need to know that both MS and FreeBSD allow only four (4) slices - which MS calls primary partitions. MS allows some various kinds of extended 'partition' and FreeBSD permits you to subdivide the slice in to pieces which it calls partitions - nice confusion. To shrink the existing slice[s] you need some specialized piece of software. Some come with FreeBSD that will do the job for older MS filesystem types such as FAT, but they will not shrink NTFS and most new systems are coming with NTFS. So, there are some commercial utilities and a couple of new freeware versions that some people have spoken highly of.I have sucessfully used Partition Magic 7.0 many times to shrink and convert primary partitions. But it does not work on USB disks. So recently I got Partition Magic 8.0 which claims to work on USB, but I could not get it to work. It failed to run from booting from CD.I got a rescue disk version running, but it wouldn't even see my new USB 2 harddisk let alone work on it. So, I sent it back for a refund. - NOTE Amazon-Nothing But Software was good about doing the refund promptly. Anyway, see if you can get a 7.0 version of PM and use it. Another I haven't tried is Partition Commander. I have heard some people say it works well.There are also a couple of fairly new freeware utilities I have heard people say good things about. One is called 'Gparted' and it is an ISO you download, burn on to a CD and boot from. I can't remember the other one at the moment, but it is supposed to look a lot like working with Partition Magic 7.0. Run the utility, whatever it is. Shrink the existing slice/primary partition. They will probably use MS terminology and so will probably call it a primary partition. Try to free up 10 GB or more if you can. Have the utility create a primary partition in the newly freed up space. It must be a primary partition type - not an extended partition. Partition Magic and maybe some of the other utilities will whine and complain if you try to make a second primary partition and tell you it could make the system unbootable, but it works just fine since you will shortly be turning that primary partition type in to a FreeBSD type slice which MS will not recognize and will ignore. Just make it create a primary partition with a FAT32 type file system in the freed up space. (That will change when you do the FreeBSD install) Finish up the process and get out of the utility and remove the utility's boot CD or floppy. NOTE: If you are using Partition Magic, it works much better to make the 'rescue floppies' and boot and run from them rather than an installed version of it. In fact, you are prevented from running it on the same disk that you are booted to. So, with only one hard disk, you have to run from floppies. NOTE ALSO: If you have a spare slice available (remember, only 4 are allowed) and if your MS slice (Primary Partition) is an NTFS type, then you may want to make another small slice just below the FreeBSD slice of a couple GB and make it FAT32. Then you would have some easy space to use to transfer files back and forth between MS and FreeBSD. That is because, so far, FreeBSD does not write

As far as i can tell sane by itself does not have the ability to do this, but it concert with HPLIP it does. First question: is this correct? Not just connect to the PSC, but use both devices at once If not, then I just abort the whole plan. After seeing the post-installation message for HPLIP, I wat to understand what I'm doing before messing with devfs. (Revuilding the kernel is no biggie, though I don't think that'll be necessary.) And, frankly, configuring CUPS is usually as pleasant as aggrssive dysentery. You should be fine since your other printer is a parallel port printer. The HPLIP port doesn't configure parallel port printers so just use the normal CUPS configuration. There are some issues with the PSC printers and getting attached as umass devices. Search the archives for more info. Basically a real solution for the umass issue won't appear until the HPS USB stack grows generic device access for already claimed usb devices support sometime next year. I've read the last couple of replies, and they have been sort of discouraging. I have a HP PSC 1610, which mounts itself as a umass device, instead of ugen. Its connected via USB (instead of parallel, in the other guys case). I recompiled the kernel (using 6.2 here) without ulpt support, just like Daniel Steinbrook's howto said. I installed/configured cups and hpijs (donot need hplip) as well. Are you saying that I'm at a dead end as far as getting my printer to work under FBSD? Like a said to Robert, it should be pretty simple to tweak the umass driver to not attach as umass for your printer.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Freebsd filesystem ( hard reboot )
My understanding from the reading I have done is that in a situation like this where power outages are a danger (and presuably having the UPS signal the server to shut down gracefully is not practical), you need to make the file system as robust as possible in the first place, rather than rely on fsck -y after the event. Doesn't fsck -y rather sweep potential problems under the carpet? fsck is not sweeping potential problems under the carpet, as long as nothing unexpected goes wrong (software bug, hardware problem). The reason fsck works to begin with, is that it is designed to fix specific inconsistencies in the file system that are expected. The file system (takling about UFS here, and other non-journaled file systems that care about this stuff) is designed very carefully such that certain correctable inconsistencies happen, while preventing those that are not correctable. That is, under fully expected circumstances, UFS is intended to require fsck on reboot. But it is NOT intended that fsck find unexpected inconcistencies and ask for operator intervention. What happens in the event of write caching + power failure, software bug or hardware bugs, is that you end up with semi-random inconsistencies. fsck *may* be able to patch the situation enough for the file system to be usable, but fundamentally all bets are off. First step surely is to *disable* write caching if you have drives that are doing it? For UFS/reiserfs/xfs/jfs/ext3fs/ext2fs, yes. Then consider mounting the file system synchronously. Mind you, I don't know what the scale of the performance loss would be, and whether anyone does this nowadays! Synchronous mounting is not required for consistency (except perhaps for ext2fs; not sure). It is enough that the system does not break the file system's ability to guarantee ordering of certain critical operations, which is why write caching causes a problem (the drive re-orders writes for performance and you end up with B happening before A, but consistency depended on B happening AFTER A). -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

You probably want that. jerry Thanks, Steve Everyone's recommending dump/restore for copying file systems, and there's something that I've never really been clear on. The advantage of dump/restore is that it will handle all file situations correctly. Most of the other copy schemes miss on something, such as hard links. It is easy to use. The nice thing about rsync is that it's network aware. Can dump dump a file system across a network? Rsync is OK, especially if you want to set up something for a regular scheduled copy/update, but may be too much for making a single copy. jerry James ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problems with auditd
I upgraded my system from 6.0 RELEASE to 6.2 RELEASE by cvsupping the files and then running buildkernel/buildworld as usual. Since doing that, auditd will not run, even though I have auditd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf. I've been reading online posts about auditd and auditing (as well as the man pages) but I haven't found what the problem is. If I run audit -s, I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] audit -s Error sending trigger: Function not implemented Any idea what the problem might be? I *thought* I had the latest sources. I have since cvsupped a second time and rebuilt world, but I have not rebuilt the kernel. -- Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DVD's and FreeBSD

You may read here why is so difficult to use DVDs http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html Ogle is by far the best DVD player but VLC and MPlayer are able to play stunning number of different proprietary and non-proprietary video and audio formats. but kmplayer works --altho with fewer control flow options. And after compiling in device atapicam into my KERNCONF, k3b still chokes. K3b works fine or I should say as good as on any of major Linux distribution. Something is wrong with your configuration. Read very carefully $ make showinfo /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b So. For toys, Linux; for superior [unbeatable] stability, FreeBSD is still first rate. gary Depends what you mean by playing. Some people use Flash or Java for work and FreeBSD is definitely not for them. For me personally works boot as a professional tool and as life-stile OS. But then it doesn't work for my mother in law and probably it doesn't work for 99% of other casual computer users.
