Saying, it was stupid? You're correct. It was stupid and, of course, it
doesn't matter if the libs show up or not.

Tool to uncat file
Dear list, before starting to code on my own, I'd like to ask if there's already a tool to uncat files, defining the file separation position as a string of bytes, usually given in hexadecimal form. An example could be this: % uncat -p 0x12,0x52,0xf1,0x09 file_orig It creates file_1 file_2 file_3. And, of course, % cat file_1 file_2 file_3 file_orig would re-create the original file. The bytes 0x12,0x52,0xf1,0x09 tell the file starting pattern (-p), where a new file begins. I cannot use dd due to the fact that the files concatenated are of a different size. So the idea would be to look for specific byte pattern and then start a new file each time it occurs on input. Is there such a tool, or any other ideas? -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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: Graphics tablet / Xorg / mouse problems
Antonio Rieser wrote: Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 7.1 on an ACER Aspire 1680 laptop. I'm running KDE 3.5 and the most recent Xorg port with a Wacom Bamboo tablet and the wacom driver from the ports collection. I have the following problems with the tablet and mouse: 1) If I boot without the tablet plugged in, then plug it in later and restart X, the error message (EE) intel(0): [DRI] Unlocking inconsistency: Context 676684348 trying to unlock lock held by context 2 (EE) intel(0): [DRI] Locking deadlock. Already locked with context 676684348, trying to lock with context 2. is written to Xorg.0.log and kdm-bin.log so many times that it fills my /var partition and locks my system. Note that if I boot with the tablet already plugged in, this error doesn't appear, and everything works fine. This is actually not connected to the tablet in my opinion, it's a problem with 3D-acceleration of your video card, which apparently does not like being reset/restarted. Can you show us your Device Section? I loading the driver via the line 'uwacom_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf 2) If I remove the tablet from the computer (I've only tried it during an X session), the system panics and shuts down, whether or not I stop the wacom driver before removing the tablet. OK, this sounds like a serious kernel problem. 3) If I stop the wacom driver, then start it again, I cannot simply restart X and have the tablet work. I have to reboot in order for the tablet to be recognized, even in mouse mode. That's because the driver can not start a rescan of the hardware. It can only hook in when the tablet gets first detected. This is why the module has to be loaded from loader.conf. 4) Occasionally the pointer refuses to stay put and drifts to the top of the screen. Controlling the pointer with the mouse becomes difficult at this point, too, since it wants to float upwards. Unfortunately, I have difficulty reproducing this reliably. Once it starts, though, it doesn't stop until I end the X session. If the problem starts and then I stop the wacom driver without restarting X, it continues anyway. I have that with a cheap optical mouse sometimes, I plug it out and back in and the problem is gone. Since that panics your system this is hardly an acceptable solution. Anyway it looks to me like that is a hardware problem. 5) Xorg.0.log contains the following error (also included below): pad Wacom X driver can't grab event device, errno=1005 (I haven't honestly noticed any strange behavior on the 'pad' device, however.) Well, I have taken the liberty to forward this mail to Bartosz, he might be able to do something with that. Obviously the driver does not handle all data generated by the pad. Regarding 1) - and maybe 3) 4) - my guess is that the tablet is fighting with the mouse for control of the pointer, but I don't know how to check if that's the case or how to fix it if it is. No, that's not the way things work. I think you are facing two distinct problems here. One with your video card and one with the tablet driver. ___ 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

dump(8) using snapshot + recommended cache
Hi All; I regularly use dump(8) with snapshots to back up my server. While this seems to have been working perfectly well so far, upon (re)reading the man page for dump(8), I have noticed a somewhat scary pair of lines in the paragraph describing the option for -C cachesize (emphasis with stars mine): [Use of this option] will greatly improve performance at the cost of ***dump possibly not noticing changes in the file system*** between passes. ***It is recommended that you always use this option when dumping a snapshot.*** Does anyone know what, exactly, this means? In particular, is the first statement actually trying to say: Use of this option will greatly improve performance; however it may be that changes made to the filesystem made between _dump_ passes will be ignored. ***The resulting dumped filesystem image will be consistent and correct based on a timestamp no later than that of the point at which the dump was started***. Is this a fair statement? Is this guaranteed? Or are we trying to say that: The resulting filesystem will contain images of individual files based on a timestamp no later than that of the point at which the dump was started, however any individual files modified after the dump begins may be stored using any of the version that appeared written to disk during the period of the dump. As far as the second line goes, I am not at all clear on what this is trying to say. Why is the cache recommended? For speed? Stability? Output correctness? In particular, if a snapshot dump is made without a cache option, is it potentially corrupt? In particular, if the second attempt above is more true than the first, it seems to me that we should _not_ recommend the use of a cache with snapshots, as it seems to erode the utility of the snapshot itself. It is for this reason that I am suspecting that there is more here than meets the eye, which is why I am keen to make sure that this is clear. I am very happy to put in an update to the docs if we can make sure that we know exactly what we are trying to say here.

Re: Excessive letter-spacing in firefox3 under wine
On Thursday 29 January 2009 22:02:35 Tore Lund wrote: Subject line says it all - large gaps between all letters. Here is a screenshot: http://softblur.com/misc/spacing.jpg. I suppose there are others who run firefox3 under wine on 7.1-RELEASE with no problems, so can anyone think of what's wrong? I have imported fonts from my Windows 2000 installation, and I am using the same profile that works well with native FreeBSD firefox and firefox on Windows 2000. I believe this did not happen with firefox2. Grateful for any hint. What exactly did you do to import those fonts? You should put them in a separate directory under /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts, create fonts.scale and fonts.dir in that directory using mkfontscale and mkfontdir, then run fc-cache -f -v and (for completeness) add a FontPath entry to your xorg.conf. Alternatively, you can install the x11-fonts/webfonts port, which contains the most commonly used fonts. (Actually, I only use wine in order to get flash9, so if anyone could help me solve this problem instead, that's even better. I have tried the available recipes with no success - my firefox3 just freezes.) Try to get it to work under linux-firefox first. - Remove all linux-*, linux_base-* and nspluginwrapper packages you've currently installed. - Remove any stale npwrapper plugins from the following directories and their subdirectories: ~/.mozilla/plugins /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins /usr/local/lib/npapi /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins - Check that you have these settings in each file: * /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 * /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 * /etc/rc.conf: linux_enable=YES * /etc/fstab: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 - Reboot or alternatively you can run these commands as root: sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 mount /compat/linux/proc - Install www/linux-firefox and www/linux-flashplugin9. - Check if the plugin works in linux-firefox. - Install www/nspluginwrapper. - Run these commands as root: nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so ln -sf /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/npapi/symlinks/firefox/ - Check if the plugin works in native firefox. This should get the plugin working, but it'll still crash or freeze the browser sometimes. You can kill the plugin with killall npviewer.bin.

Re: Shuttle for a BSD file server?
On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 10:33 PM, Maxim Khitrov mkhit...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings, I'm planning to build a new home file server for myself, starting with about 2TB of RAID6 space, but with room to grow in the future. Most of that will be on SATA drives, but I may throw in two SAS drives in RAID1 for the base OS, hence the SAS raid controller and enclosure. The highest priority for this build is data security, followed by performance and uptime. Rather than go for server-grade components, I thought that I should instead try to separate storage from the server itself. It's cheaper (sort of), easier to upgrade in the future, and if the server goes down for some reason, I can just put the raid card into another machine and once again have access to my data. The other advantage with this build is that I already have a Q6600 and some DDR2 memory around, so that will save me money on having to get Xeons and ECC memory. With that in mind, I currently have the following components picked out (listed below). I would like to know whether anyone has used any of these with FreeBSD 7.x, or if you have some other suggestions for what I should look into (am I asking for trouble by using these parts for a 24/7 file server in terms of stability)? I know that the 3ware controller should be supported, but I'm not sure about the Shuttle. How does FreeBSD play with X48 chipset?

Re: Tool to uncat file
$ man split This (split) is the standard unix utility to break a file up into pieces. It breaks it down either by a fixed number of lines or by a fixed number of bytes. Also the rules for dividing lines is simplistic: simple newline division, no special escape handling. If that doesn't suit your purpose, then you have to write your own custom split-like utility. I've done that in the past. For instance I once wrote a routine in Perl at work to divide Informix format .unl files (database dump), with special escape rules for newlines and special handling of binary data. For what you're describing you probably want to write a C program to do the job. -Will Polytropon wrote: Dear list, before starting to code on my own, I'd like to ask if there's already a tool to uncat files, defining the file separation position as a string of bytes, usually given in hexadecimal form.

The scripts I set up for doing backups are much smaller and easier to maintain with dump with the idea being that a shell script determines whether this is week 1 through 5 in a given month. The first day of that week is Level 0 followed by 6 more levels until we start another week such that the path to a backup looks like 02-1/systemname/systemname_0 systemname_1 and so forth. The defaults appear to be slightly different between the bsd dump and Linux's dump, but it wasn't difficult to get both to dump one volume containing all the inodes to a file which is actually a named pipe on the backup server. Many thanks to all.

Re: IPFW in-kernel NAT: How to compile?
In the last episode (Feb 01), Brett Glass said: At 05:43 PM 2/1/2009, Dan Nelson wrote: Do you have options LIBALIAS in your kernel config? Nope.

The options used to all be in a LINT file that was present in the configuration directory No more. LINT was removed back in 2000 and replaced with NOTES, since that better describes what it's really used for.

Re: Load balancing multiple virtual hosts on 1 IP
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thank you for all the responses ... turns out the solution was simplier ... I tried the various solutions presented, and each of them did the same thing ... The setup I have, I'm using csync2 to maintain the file systems on each backend, and in order to simplify that, I'm using: VirtualHost *:80 instead of VirtualHost IP:80 which works fine ... *but*, something gets confused when you mix-n-match the above ... its either all of one or the other, but not both ... once I fixed my config files, the pages now load consistently ... Thank you all for the help on this, the pointers to the other software(s) provided proof that it wasn't the software, but my configuration ... - --On Saturday, January 31, 2009 13:55:08 + Matthew Seaman m.sea...@infracaninophile.co.uk wrote: Marc G.

I want to setup a third VM with something like haproxy on it that will take the URL (http://domain1) and pull the content from one or the other ... So far, all works well if I only have one virtual host, but as soon as I add a second one (http://domain2), when I try to go to http://domain2, it pulls up the content for domain1 also, as if I was going to http://IP instead. Is there a way to set this up (with haproxy, or some other software), that it will actually pass the URL through to the backend apache server and load up the right content? Or is this a limitation in the protocol itself?/ This is certainly possible -- most of the world's big web sites work in exactly this way, although they would tend to use dedicated hardware LB if they were of any appreciable size. I think what's going wrong for you is that you are using a front-end proxy, and it's rewriting the requests with the host names of the real servers, which will certainly screw up name based virtual hosts. Instead of ha-proxy, look into relayd -- in conjunction with a pf(4) firewall this will do exactly what you want. It can operate purely at the IP level or even at layer 2 if you want to implement DSR. Another alternative to consider is varnish, although I'm not sure that has much in the way of health-checking the back-end servers behind it. varnish is a reverse-proxy / web accelerator so can give you some performance boost as well.
