Re: dummies version of dummies to setup printers in freebsd
This may or may not be suitable for your situation but this is how I generally set printers up: 1. Install print/cups (yes the full wrapper port) 2. Edit your /etc/make.conf by adding a line that says no LPR 3. Add CUPS_ENABLE=YES to your /etc/rc.conf 4. Manually start cups (run cupsd as root) 5. Point your web browser to http://localhost:631 6. Click on adminstration--Add Printer 7. Enter what ever you want on the first screen 8. (This step will vary based on how your printer is connected... in this case I assume it is networked like mine is) if your printer is a standard network printer CUPS should find it automatically if it doesn't otherwise socket://[IP] where IP is the IP of the printer (you will have to search the web perhaps for non-network printers) 9. Enter the type of printer it is off the menu (cannon is not limited so you will need to search for the right PPD file) 10. Click on add-printer 11. The user name and password is the user name and password for any account on the machine (I have never tested anything but root or my personal account) 12. Print a test page if everything has gone well proceed if not try to figure out what you missed 13. Click on printers and set the new printer to be your default printer 14. Since by default the base system installs lpd when it is installed you need to deinstall it the easiest way to do this as root do: rm /usr/bin/lp* /usr/sbin/lp* 15. If everything has gone well up to now try to print from the command line with something like lpr /etc/passwd 16. If step 15 worked reboot and try to print again 17. (only if you have a desktop manager or other GUI stuff installed) Make sure that all your commonly used GUI applications can print 18. Your done (well almost) 19. (optional) if you do a lot of command line printing you may want to install a pritty print program like print/enscript-letter and alias it to lpr in your .cshrc or the equiv 20.

AFAIR, this is one of the difficult to get working models in FreeBSD (or linux for that matter). CUPS does not support it directly (it is a 'winprinter'). Canon has a linux driver here: http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0022414.asp?model= and this can probably be adapted (if if contains a PPD for CUPS) but this may not be the easiest task.

Pine4.64 installation on FreeBSD 7.1 (i386)
Hi: [note: i'm aware about Alpine in ports and am keen to install and use only Pine]. i'm trying to build Pine 4.64 from the sources downloaded from Univ of Wash site. For SSL support, i have installed OpenSSL 0.9.8j from ports. Here is the standard command run at the top of the pine source tree. ./build 'SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl' \ 'SSLINCLUDE=/usr/local/include/openssl' \ 'SSLLIB=/usr/local/lib' \ bsf The first error reported right in the beginning is File /etc/ssl/factory.pem is missing This might indicate that CA certs did not get properly installed. If you get certificate validation failures in Pine, this might be the reason for them. On reviewing the OpenSSL code base, there is no factory.pem or a bunch of CA certs. Two questions: 1. what is the purpose of factory.pem ? 2. where do i get the bunch of CA certs ? Thanks in advance for helping me out, as i try to learn more about FreeBSD approach of doing the things. i've been a Gentoo user mostly. -- thanks Saifi. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I don't see any disk related complaints in dmesg. Is this something to worry about? Yes, the system was *trying* to do swap I/O and timing out while doing so. isn't swapspace supposed to be on a 'b' partition? Are you using swap on a slice 10? how is that possible when the i386/amd64 BIOS can't see more than 4 primary partitions? Kris, would you mind giving input to this? How can there be a s10, and how can you add swapspace to a device that isn't a partition 'b' nor a file backed swapspace? Those were the only two ways I thought was supported for swap. Dieter, does my questions above sound to be a correct interpretation of your disk setup? Traditionally swap used the b partition. But then traditionally, there Even then, however, the swapdev line in the kernel config file made it possible to change it and to add additional partitions of equal size on other drives. weren't MBR style partitions, called slices in FreeBSD-land. I suspect that the computers Unix grew up on (PDP-7, PDP-11, VAX) had to boot from the beginning of the disk, so the a partition went there. The Alpha continues in this DEC tradition. I was about to say that swap went next for speed, since the machines back then never had enough main memory, but those old disks didn't have variable number of sectors on inner vs outer tracks, so the speed would have been the same across the platter. So I'm not sure why swap was next. Speed was indeed the reason. Swapping in UNIX dates further back than virtual memory support. Swapping made it possible to have more process memory allocated than was available in real memory, but it was necessary to swap out an entire process to swap in a process whose memory was located at the same addresses as the one forced out. That didn't necessarily mean writing all of the first process's memory out, just enough to make room for the one coming in. The downside, of course, was that anything *not* written to the swap area was vulnerable to damage by other processes unless some sort of storage protection mechanism was available in the hardware a la System/360 storage protection. Of course, the same risk applied to any other processes in memory (i.e., not swapped out already) at the time, too. Swap in 3BSD (the first VM UNIX system) and 4BSD was active for another purpose, too. Large memory moves/copies on those old machines could actually be *slower* than writing to a disk and then reading the data back in at the target memory location. (Yes, speechless horror is the correct reaction here.:-) /usr was typically placed right after the swap area (i.e., partition d). The idea was that / and /usr would be the most heavily accessed file systems, so it made sense to have them surrounding the swap area to minimize head movement distances and delays. On systems with more than one disk drive that did a lot of compiling, sorting, editing, or anything else with much activity in /tmp, it was especially helpful to move /tmp to a separate drive from / and /usr. The manual used to give suggested partition configurations for two- and three-drive systems for optimum speed. This machine has 2 GiB of main memory and almost never uses the swap partition, so I put swap at the slow end of the drive. Yes I have swap on slice 10. I use NetBSD's fdisk, as it handles more than 4 slices nicely, unlike FreeBSD's fdisk. As far as I know, the BIOS So NetBSD's fdisk understands logical partitions in an extended partition? Cool. I wish we had it in FreeBSD. It's really a pain to have to shut FreeBSD down and boot a standalone program to change the layout of a disk that has an EP. :-( At least the FreeBSD kernel has no problem understanding a disk like that. firmware doesn't need to know about swap. I think the BIOS firmware just loads and runs the MBR, which in turn loads and runs the bootstrap in the selected slice (or loads and runs the MBR in a different disk if you want). I suppose I could put a BSD disklabel on slice 10 and set it up with the whole slice as the b partition. But as far as I can tell FreeBSD is happy with /dev/ad6s10. As I wrote in my previous It should be. message I suspect that the pager/swaper is competing for disk i/o. I forgot to ask if there is some sysctl or other knob to lengthen the timeout. The real fix is to improve the i/o fairness,

Re: KDE: What a monster!
Without wanting to start an endless discussion, I may say that I've recognized the tendency to slow down programs in UNIX world such as it is always described in Windows land: As soon as you get a new OS or new programs, everything runs slower than before. In order to keep the overall usage speed, you need to have more hardware power. fortunately it's only tendency to trendy software like KDE. not for all unix software. and definitely NOT for FreeBSD OS inself, that gets same or faster every release on THE SAME machine! it's not unix problem. it's problem of people that like to have their unix be like windows so it is :) for me it's not a problem at all! I'm running a P4 2GHz for more than 4 years now happily (I think), but when I needed to build a new software installation due to a data fallout in July 2008, I found everything running slower. what exactly software you rebuild and found slower (except KDE/Gnome bloatware) ? THIS TO ALL FreeBSD DEVELOPERS: NOT YOUR FAULT! Every release of FreeBSD brought a higher bootup speed to my system, faster system services and better performance. INDEED. contrary to linux that it's mostly faster in artifical tests, slower on everything else. contrary to NetBSD, (no idea about openbsd), not mentioning Slowlaris :) that's why i use it! But what about these advantages? They've got eaten up by all the applications installed, their libraries and especially their GUI toolkits. Nearly every Gtk application has been switched from Gtk 1 to Gtk 2, including more disk consuming libs and depencencies, slower program startup and slower reaction. unfortunately you are right. but you can use IMHO firefox with GTK1 My favourite examples are: * Opera, hardly reacting on input while loading a web page (and no, I don't try to use Flash stuff) it's not libraries fault but opera fault IMHO. i see the same! * Gimp, loads very slowly, needs seconds (!) to show the right click menu, needs several seconds to launch printing dialog what gimp version. mine starts 10 seconds, then works quick. checked with ldd - it uses gtk2 and tons of other libs. are you sure there are no other problems with your system? On the other hand, there are old programs that seem to profit from the system's speed gain. That's why I love to use them instead of their oversized brothers. so use them as long as you can - as i do. Such an oversized brother is KDE 4. Don't get me wrong, please. so why do you use it? it's mostly useless even if it would be fast. There is NO USE for it's GUI, and it's programs are toys, not much usable. use separate programs for spreadsheets, word processors and similar office work. On an up-to-date hardware basis, it's surely a joy to use, fast you are wrong. it's slow on quad core intel with 4GB RAM. i tested it. and responsive. But if your system isn't from today, you don't gonna have fun with it.

Why are the Zionist leaders in Israel so happy about the new President?
Why is the President of Israel, the terrorist who just oversaw the Zionist mass murder and maiming of thousands of Palestinians so happy that Obama is President of the USA? by David Duke Read the excerpt from the Israeli News about how President Perez and Israel think that Obamas becoming U.S. President is great day for Israel. Israels President Shimon Peres ecstatic over the election of Obama Ronen Medzini Israel News Jan. 21 Today is a great day not only for the United States of America, but for the entire world, President Shimon Peres wrote in a letter addressed to Barack Obama on the day of his inauguration as president of the United States. Obama was elected by the United States, but as a matter of fact, he was chosen by the whole of humankind, Why is Peres so ecstatic? Why shouldnt he be, he knows that Obama is completely in the grip of the extremist Jewish Zionists in America, and he knows that the greater Obamas popularity and idol worship, the more Obama can do for the International Zionist Cause. Any thinking and caring human being who realizes that the Zionist-controlled American foreign policy has been a disaster for the robbed and murdered people of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and a catastrophe for the 50,000 American wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as an economic catastrophe for the hardworking Americans who pay trillions to finance these wars for Israel must wake up the fact that supporting Obama and increasing his popularity will only aid Zionist terrorism, war, and their murder and oppression of the Palestinians. It will also hasten the economic suffering of billions of people around the world as his popularity enables him to more easily aid the Zionist International Bankers steal the wealth of the United States, Europe and the world. Obama is totally in the bloodstained and green ink- stained hands of the Zionists. The hard truth is that the more good will and support Obama has also gives more power to support the Zionist agenda! Mark my words. The Obama Presidency will be disaster for America and for the world. Obama was put into office by the Zionists. His top two cohorts for years have been the radical Jews David Axelrod and Rahm Emmanuel. Both have long records of radical Zionism and have been attack dogs against anyone perceived as having the slightest opposition to Israel. One such victim was Sen. Charles Percy, who both men worked to defeat and destroy because he dared to only be 99 percent rather than 100 percent pro-Israel. Rahm Emmanuel, a dual citizen of Israel who went to fight for Israel, he has a long pedigree of Jewish extremism. His father served in the Irgun Terrorist Gang and he himself is named after an Irgun terrorist. Zionist leaders in Chicago actually call Obama the first Jewish President and boast that Jews were key players in Obamas every step up the ladder to President. from the very earliest days, extremist Jews were the largest contributors to his campaign. In the beginning of his Presidential bid, three Hollywood Jews that constantly make movies about Jewish suffering, but never about the Zionist terrorism and theft against the Palestinian people, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg raised 1.2 million for Obama in a single Hollywood party. By the time Obamas campaign was in full swing, he had huge support from the criminal Zionist International Banking firms such as Goldman Sachs and Lehman brothers. Goldman Sachs was Obamas biggest single contributor, and his vast war chest came not from American manufacturing firms like GM or even American oil companies, (not one was in his top twenty) it was overwhelmingly dominated by Zionist international bankers, the same ones whose thievery and fraud are giving the world this economic depression. For those looking for meaningful social and political change, do you really think it will come from this man who has already been bought heart, head and soul by the most powerful czars of the international financial establishment and the biggest globalists in the world? I know that many are desperate for change, so desperate that you want to believe anything. But in the face of these facts cant you see that Obama will be even more dangerous to freedom and justice than even George Bush and his band of Neocons were. What better way to wipe out George Bushs hated legacy and make the world believe that America has really changed than with the election of Obama. But, all the real Zionist power, Zionist media power, and Zionist financial power in America is still in place, even stronger than ever. Many Americans and others around the world who want to do good are now telling us how wonderful Obama will be as president. What a great change it will be from the old policies. This is because of the Zionist-Controlled media hype, promoting Obama. The fact is that these poor sods are ignorantly helping the radical Zionist agenda in Israel and

atacontrol software or hardware raid
How can I detect if system has Software or hardware raid? Since in manual page: The atacontrol command can also be used to create purely software RAID arrays in systems that do NOT have a real hardware RAID card such as a Highpoint or Promise card. A common scenario is a 1U server such as the HP DL320 G4 or G5. These servers contain a SATA controller that has 2 channels that can contain 2 disks per channel, but the servers are wired to only place a single SATA drive on each channel. Or how can I find out if the hardware is real hardware RAID card? For example my system has following dmesg output: ad4: 152627MB Seagate ST3160815AS 4.AAB at ata2-master SATA300 ad6: 152627MB Seagate ST3160815AS 4.AAB at ata3-master SATA300 ar0: 152625MB Intel MatrixRAID RAID1 status: READY ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master This system is an intel server with S3210SH server board in it. While installing system I see ad4,ad6 and ar0 as harddrives in sysinstall. I choose to install ar0. Additionally as far as I see ar0 is very susceptible to errors since a single CRC error can break the RAID consistency is that normal?

make -jN build with portmaster
To build ports in parallel on a 4 core machine, I usually do this manually: # cd /usr/ports/some/port # make configure make -j5 build make install clean because all steps except make build are not compatible with -jN (some ports don't work with -jN in the make build phase either, but they are quite rare). Now, is there a way to teach portmaster to build or rebuild ports this way? The only workaround for now is something like: # cd /usr/ports/some/port # make configure make -j5 build # portmaster -b -d -C name-of-some/port-in-pkg-var-db which doesn't clean up some/port/work before building, thus using the manual parallel step before. So, how can portmaster run 'make -jN build' instead of simple 'make build'? (I know about portmaster's -m option, but passing -jN to it won't work, as it would also try to apply this to other phases than make build).

What I'd like to do is export the ports hierarchy to all machines, but preserving ports/packages for each version/architecture. I also want to make rebuilding indexes run as fast as possible. Right now, I simply exports(5) /usr/ports via NFSv3. The problem comes in with INDEX files and packages. Indexes get updated only when the host serving the export updates the hierarchy via portsnap update. If I create a package on SPARC64 and the package exists already for an i386 build, then I've got an issue. Can someone point me to a doc/google/man page that may give me some guidance in setting up such an environment? The following 2 lines on each machine in /etc/make.conf should fix those problems: PACKAGES=${PORTSDIR}/packages/${ARCH} INDEXFILE=INDEX-${ARCH}-${OSVERSION:C/([0-9]).*/\1/} Packages will end up in /usr/ports/packages/sparc64 on sparc64 machines and /usr/ports/packages/i386 on i386 machines etc. Indexfiles will be named according to arch as well.

Solaris Compat?
I don't want to raise an argument here (on multiple levels, no less...), but what would the compatibility be between FreeBSD (release) and Solaris? Why I ask is Adobe have released a version of flash for Solaris, and I'm wondering if this might work better than the linux_compat types. I tried running it straight out, but I'm getting errors of a missing libsocket.so library. Any thoughts? Perhaps an idea on whether this library could be built on FBSD? BTW, before anyone raises an issue regarding EULA apparently Adobe don't care now IF an EU sets it up on any platform (if it works), just that they won't support it any way. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: swap_pager complaints but not using swap
AMD64 FreeBSD 7.0 2 GiB main memory My console says: login: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 22, size: 4096 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 22, size: 4096 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 22, size: 4096 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 22, size: 4096 pstat -sk Device 1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity /dev/ad6s10 4590208 96 4590112 0% Wow, using a whole 96K of swap. I don't see any disk related complaints in dmesg. Is this something to worry about? Yes, the system was *trying* to do swap I/O and timing out while doing so. Kris Whoops, I forgot to change the subject line after adding the k option to pstat. Without the k it said 0 used. And this morning it occurs to me that even if swap used was zero, it could have been trying to *start* using swap. Anyway... given this timeout explaination, I'm guessing that page/swap has to compete with user processes for disk i/o, and thus probably suffers from the same lack of fair i/o scheduling that user processes suffer from. E.g. one process doing disk i/o can lock out another process for at least several minutes, probably indefinitely. :-( There is a timeout of (from memory) 60 seconds. I've not seen this timeout exceeded on properly functioning disk hardware (even heavily loaded), only on broken hardware/controllers, or on I/O devices that are intrinsically slow for some reason (USB stick, or swapping to a file). Unless you're doing something truly unspeakable to that disk's load, I'd look at the hardware. zcat /ad8/7.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.gz /ad6/7.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso I'll spare you the real paths. :-) The target was to slice 2, which is very near the beginning of the disk, while swap is in slice 10 at the very end of the same disk. These disks are both Seagate 7200 SATA connected to nforce4-ultra. I just ran the same command again, and the CPU is 89-96% idle. So it is I/O bound writing to the disk, as expected. The machine was rebooted Tuesday afternoon (I had been testing a firewire patch for Sean). Friday morning I copied the 7.1 ISO to the machine and was verifying checksums. After I noticed the swap_pager complaints on the console I checked and it was only using 96 KiB of swap. Two days later (Sunday morning) swap usage has grown to 500 KiB: pstat -sk Device 1K-blocks UsedAvail Capacity /dev/ad6s10 4590208 500 4589708 0% So the machine doesn't normally use swap much at all, but messing with the large ISO apparently kicked something out of memory, and the disk with the swap partition was already busy writing at the other end of the disk. Do you consider writing a large file to disk a truly unspeakable load? Scott Bennett writes: This machine has 2 GiB of main memory and almost never uses the swap partition, so I put swap at the slow end of the drive. Yes I have swap on slice 10. I use NetBSD's fdisk, as it handles more than 4 slices nicely, unlike FreeBSD's fdisk. As far as I know, the BIOS So NetBSD's fdisk understands logical partitions in an extended partition? Cool. I wish we had it in FreeBSD. It's really a pain to have to shut FreeBSD down and boot a standalone program to change the layout of a disk that has an EP. :-( At least the FreeBSD kernel has no problem understanding a disk like that. I haven't ported NetBSD's fdisk to FreeBSD, I just boot NetBSD, fdisk the new disk, and boot back to FreeBSD. I also use NetBSD's MBR, which has a nice boot menu. (well, as nice as it can be with only 512 bytes to work with) It would be nice to have NetBSD's fdisk ported, as FreeBSD's fdisk can't even read the logical/extended partitions. message I suspect that the pager/swaper is competing for disk i/o. I forgot to ask if there is some sysctl or other knob to lengthen the timeout. The real fix is to improve the i/o fairness, but I've been asking about this for 2-3 years and not getting anywhere. BSD UNIX introduced the disksort() routine into its kernel ages ago. I know it was in 4.2BSD, but it may well have been there long before then. disksort() was added to satisfy a maximum number of disk I/O requests with a minimum of head movement and delay. Basically, it sorts new requests into queues for each drive such that the arm moves from request to request in one direction through the disk, and then the next queue started is sorted into the opposite sequence for the arm to move in the opposite direction. The result is that the arm moves back and forth from the start to the end of the disk and then back again, reading and writing as it goes, thus minimizing the distance traveled for each request handled. In FreeBSD, I think there is also some sort of change to the algorithm that tends to subprioritize or subdivide requests according to the amount of data to be read/written in each request, but I
