Auto Mounting USB Sticks and CD's
Hello, I have a FreeBSD 7.0 install, and I am running the Gnome Desktop (2.22) I was hoping that someone had a nice HOWTO or could paste their config files. I want my usb sticks to auto mount when I insert them like they do on PC-BSD I know that if I put gnome_enable in my /etc/rc.conf then it all works BUT, I would prefer not to use gdm on bootup I also am having trouble trying to get k3b to burn CD''s without being root Thank you for any help Sam Fourman Jr. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Card readers - Does anyone know where to get help for this?
I must be the only one who has this... Can anyone redirect me to a list, resource, whatever that my give me some clue to this problem? Cheers On Sat, 2008-03-22 at 10:42 +1000, Da Rock wrote: I have mentioned this before in other threads, but it appears it requires a thread of its own. I have a laptop with a card reader built in which I have never been able to get to work. Everything I have looked up regarding these has to do with usb versions, and other than the laptops my card readers are usb so this shouldn't be a problem. In the laptops I have a texas instruments PCI card reader though, which gives me a real headache. I can't seem to get them to operate at all, so I'm left wondering about drivers and such. These are the specs: Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller 02:09.4 SD Host controller: Texas Instruments PCI6411/6421/6611/6621/7411/7421/7611/7621 Secure Digital Controller I'm currently running Fedora (which seems to work), but I'd like to move over to FreeBSD as soon as I can get all the features needed on these. I seem to be making headway on most of these, so here's hoping. The card reader is capable of reading nearly all format cards, including xD which is a main reason why I'd like to get it to work.

not sure how Gnome does it, but I would imagine it uses hald for it. u may have

I would rather have a patch to hplip distribution only, because libusb correctly throws an error code for the missing serial id. But if some apps query the device directly, the missing serial id may be a problem, they will all have to all be patched separately. See what you can get to work, and then we can decide on what the proper fix entails. It looks like there is some problem with the C42XX printers that is causing the serial numbers to no be reported. I got a similar report about a HP Photosmart C4200 series a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I'm VERY busy right now. It will be a couple of week before I can dive into the issue.

Thanks, -- Anish Mistry [EMAIL PROTECTED] AM Productions http://am-productions.biz/ I tried to load hplip into debugger, but if I try to trace the problem, it works! Serial number is read correctly. It also seems to work with a non-SMP kernel (at least the race does not show). The printer has the serial number after all. There appears to be some sort of race condition when calling usb_control_msg for product id and then serial id strings in rapid succession in musb.c. I am not sure how to deal with that yet, but pausing in between the calls is a workaround for now.

There is an active discussion on the X11 list to diagnose and solve the problem. I've seem the other symptoms you describe as well, but so far they have not been mentioned. I'd suggest following up with a post to that list.

Re: Understanding Flags, Refs, Use, Expire in Routing Table
Hi Daniel, you find mostl of you questions answered in man netstat (the relevant passage is posted below) The missing part is the expiry, which IMHO are the seconds, the ARP entry is valid (after this time a new arp request would be issued) I hope this is the information you needed. br, Robert +++ The routing table display indicates the available routes and their sta- tus. Each route consists of a destination host or network, and a gateway to use in forwarding packets. The flags field shows a collection of information about the route stored as binary choices. The individual flags are discussed in more detail in the route(8) and route(4) manual pages. The mapping between letters and flags is: 1RTF_PROTO1 Protocol specific routing flag #1 2RTF_PROTO2 Protocol specific routing flag #2 3RTF_PROTO3 Protocol specific routing flag #3 BRTF_BLACKHOLEJust discard pkts (during updates) bRTF_BROADCASTThe route represents a broadcast address CRTF_CLONING Generate new routes on use cRTF_PRCLONINGProtocol-specified generate new routes on use DRTF_DYNAMIC Created dynamically (by redirect) GRTF_GATEWAY Destination requires forwarding by intermediary HRTF_HOST Host entry (net otherwise) LRTF_LLINFO Valid protocol to link address translation MRTF_MODIFIED Modified dynamically (by redirect) RRTF_REJECT Host or net unreachable SRTF_STATIC Manually added URTF_UP Route usable WRTF_WASCLONEDRoute was generated as a result of cloning XRTF_XRESOLVE External daemon translates proto to link address Direct routes are created for each interface attached to the local host; the gateway field for such entries shows the address of the outgoing interface. The refcnt field gives the current number of active uses of the route. Connection oriented protocols normally hold on to a single route for the duration of a connection while connectionless protocols obtain a route while sending to the same destination. The use field pro- vides a count of the number of packets sent using that route. The inter- face entry indicates the network interface utilized for the route. + On 28.03.2008, at 00:39, Daniel Dias Gonçalves wrote: I would like an explanation on each field it command netstat - rn, example: Flags,Refs,Use,Expire In Flags: UGS, UC, UHLW, UH Somebody can explain me ?

Re: hplip setup problems
Yes, of course sleep() works. But I am looking for the *proper* way to fix it. My questions at this point are: 1. Does USB standard permit these sequential requests, or there should be some reset/synch mechanism utilized in between? I could also usb_close() and reopen the device, but is there a softer reset than that? Is the bug really in hplip, or libusb, or sys/dev/usb? 2. If the driver, libusb and hplip are acting properly, then perhaps the race condition is inside the device? i.e. it should be ready to accept the second control msg after the 1st one returned, but for some reason is not really ready. So then it is the printer that violates the protocol, and there is nothing to do on our side but sleep(). Or usb_close(), and reopen, hopefully that will bring the Photosmart to its senses. I am posting this to freebsd-usb as well, people there are probably better equipped to answer this.

Is the hp backend the only entry point to libusb, or should I have to patch libusb? e.g. cups or sane apps, can they call libusb directly, or only through hpaio backend? I would rather have a patch to hplip distribution only, because libusb correctly throws an error code for the missing serial id. But if some apps query the device directly, the missing serial id may be a problem, they will all have to all be patched separately. See what you can get to work, and then we can decide on what the proper fix entails. It looks like there is some problem with the C42XX printers that is causing the serial numbers to no be reported. I got a similar report about a HP Photosmart C4200 series a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I'm VERY busy right now. It will be a couple of week before I can dive into the issue.

It also seems to work with a non-SMP kernel (at least the race does not show). The printer has the serial number after all. There appears to be some sort of race condition when calling usb_control_msg for product id and then serial id strings in rapid succession in musb.c. I am not sure how to deal with that yet, but pausing in between the calls is a workaround for now. What can be done in between the calls other than close and reopen the device?

It looks about the same physical size as the EeePC. It is a bit more expensive that the Eee, but it has 80GB/120 GB disk and some more other good features. The display can be turned around and used like a tablet and there are models with touch screen. I was impressed with the display too. Even though it was a 7 inch and not exceptionally high resolution, it was sharp and very readable. There is some company that is marketing a version of it with English language WinXP. I don't know if they put an English language BIOS in it. But, I find that machine very interesting. It would fit in my jacket pocket - my major size qualifier.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? 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.

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]

But it looks like lot more startup scripts from /etc/rc.d/ are required to initialize the system. I can ping the device on the network port, which means my network script ran.

You need to add 'TARGET_ARCH=i386' to your build/installworld to successfully cross-compile. Kris You need to mount /libexec into your jail and /usr/lib32 into the /usr/lib. This will get the base system in your jail working. You also need to symlink /usr/lib32 → /usr/lib, because it appears that is hard-coded location in ld-elf32.so.1. To compile ports in the jail you have to define ARCH=i386 in the make.conf of the jail, because it defaults to the kernel arch amd64. This will get a lot of ports to compile into proper i386 binaries and libraries. But there are ports I have not managed to build, such as wine and perl. The binaries from the wine package just dump core inside my jail. I suppose wine simply interacts to closely with the kernel. Why perl doesn't build, I don't know. It's my impression that some ports just don't manage to see the libraries they just built. I have no idea, why, though. For some ports you have to add --host=i386 and --build=i386 to the CONFIGURE_ENV, because configure thinks you're trying to crosscompile and looks for the cross-compiling tools. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yep...rewrite the database in SQL with a PHP front end. Import the data from the old system. Use a Radware/F5 Load Balancer for the web and Slony-I for the database replication. Welcome to 2008. It is a accounting program, and will be too much efford for nothing. And I'm not a programmer. I 'm thinking for something like heartbeat, or realtime replication server - 2 identical machines, and when one of them break, staff to continue their work, without too much trouble... You really want to be careful about using FreeBSD+Samba here. Dos/Lanmanager/Windows networking provides a very rich set of network file locking calls, something like 20 or so. Not all directly map to the UNIX filesystem. There are also vendor-specific stuff like Btrieve that UNIX has never heard of. If this old DOS app uses temp lock files in the directory the data files are located in, you probably will be fine. But if it uses some of the esoteric DOS file locking calls you may find that when you move the accounting database off whatever Novell or Windows NT or IBM Lanmanger server that it is currently on, that suddenly you will find users bitching because some of them cannot get into the accounting program. And when the nightly update is run, you may find the accounts having wrong dollar amounts in them. If your DOS app runs fine in a DOS window on Windows XP your smartest thing you can do is right now, before Microsoft forces everyone to stop selling XP, run out and forklift-replace -all- of the clients with new XP systems. And make your CFO understand that they better start saving their money up because in another 5 years or so, when those XP systems start dying off, that it will be the end of being able to use the accounting program. With these DOS apps the server is actually unimportant. You can easily find an old Mylex SCSI RAID-5 controller and a pile of 10,000 RPM ultra SCSI disks out there that will give you all the redundancy you need - run Windows 2K Server or 2003 Server on that and you will have a bulletproof server. All of the horsepower in the application is actually being done on the clients, and it is very easy for a client that has a hardware fault - like for example a failing network adapter card - to write garbage into the accounting database ans scotch it for everyone. Stuff like this is why people are abandoning those old DOS accounting programs right and left. Like the other poster said, start shopping for a new MySQL-based with PHP front end accounting package.
