[SOLVED] sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2
I am actually amazed nobody nor the handbook mentioned OSS to me, because after learned this, it suddenly become obvious this option should be tried right after failure of snd_driver. In fact, the sound card in-topic is Ali M5455, the first on the list of sound card supported by OSS. http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/FreeBSD.html The solution is as simple as 'pkg_add -vr oss'. done. solved. Consider OSS supported sound card list is rather long, it should be a must recommendation after snd_driver. Again amazed that lspci in Linux showed keyword M5455, but pciconf -lv didn't show keyword M5455. Having the keyword it's only a minute to figure out which is the right driver. -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ 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
sound card not recognized by freebsd 8.2 but mentioned in PC-BSD 8.2
Hello. I intend to use FreeBSD instead of PC-BSD. The sound card doesn't work on FreeBSD 8.2. I tried to follow the manual and loaded all sound card drivers # kldload snd_driver But no driver works: # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: There is nothing after installed devices. And there is nothing about sound card mentioned in dmesg. I had the impression non of the drivers recognizes the card, which is: none1@pci0:0:4:0: class=0x040100 card=0x103b13bd chip=0x545510b9 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Acer Labs Incorporated (ALi/ULi)' device = 'AC'97 Audio Controller (M1563M Southbridge)' class = multimedia subclass = audio Search for the chip ID as keyword on google reveals in PC-BSD this keyword is mentioned in their driver database /PCBSD/soundDetect/soundcards.xml source: http://trac.pcbsd.org/changeset/3018/pcbsd Somehow this hints PC-BSD recognizes and can configure this sound card. My question is, if PC-BSD could play using this sound card, a FreeBSD method must not be too far away, right? Can I configure FreeBSD somehow to let a driver recognize and make use of this sound card? P. S. If it doesn't work, I guess I'll fall back to Windows instead of PC-BSD because I intend to use this machine for playing around and testing GNUStep including its multimedia. The computer has a hard-wired 8GB storage which is OK for the purpose, but not enough for PC-BSD. -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ 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

Something like kldload snd_hda I am confused, because the handbook says the opposite: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device driver. Then: If you are not sure which driver to use, you may try to load the snd_driver module: # kldload snd_driver This is a metadriver loading the most common device drivers at once. Even though I wish to use only the right driver, the manual didn't say how can I find which driver is the right one except trying with snd_driver. It didn't even mention what drivers are there on the system. One might expect it at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC but there is nothing mentioning sound card. You must replace snd_hda by the name of the driver for your card. I'd be glad to try that if you inform me what is the name of the driver for my card, or point me way to find this information:) Thanks for answering my mail! -- 我的博客： http://zhangweiwu.ixiezi.com/ 网站进化论 －－写给需要网站或后悔有了网站的人 ___ 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

scripting suggestion: how to make this command shorter
Hello. I wrote this one-line command to fetch a page from a long uri, parse it twice: first time get subject second time get content, and send it as email to me. $ w3m -dump 'http://search1.taobao.com/browse/33/n-g,w6y4zzjaxxymvjomxy40--commend-0-all-33.htm?at_topsearch=1ssid=e-s5' | grep -A 100 对比 | mail -a 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' -s '=?UTF-8?B?'`w3m -dump 'http://search1.taobao.com/browse/33/n-g,w6y4zzjaxxymvjomxy40--commend-0-all-33.htm?at_topsearch=1ssid=e-s5' | grep 找到.*件 | base64 -w0`'?=' zhangwe...@realss.com The stupid part of this script is it fetches the page 2 times and parse 2 times, thus making the command very long. If I can write the command in a way that the URI only appear once, then it is easier for me to maintain it. I plan to put it in cron yet avoid having to modify two places when the URI changes (and it does!). How do you suggest optimizing the one-liner? By the way I feel it stupid having to wrap the subject by using: $ mail -s '=?UTF-8?B?'`echo $subject | base64`'?=' instead of $ mail -s $subject Because mail(1), as defined, intelligent user agent, should know the current locale is UTF-8 and should know UTF-8 header must be base64 encoded for RFC compatibility. Yet it also should know if mail body is UTF-8 the header 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8' must not be omitted in case of UTF-8 content. I think this is a bug, as both are required by RFC.

improvement idea of man page of strfile
Original text: OTHER USES What can you do with this besides printing sarcastic and obscene mes- sages to the screens of lusers at login or logout? There are some other possibilities. 1 Include strfile.h into a news reading/posting program, to gener- ate random signatures. Tin(1) does something similar, in a much more complex manner. 2 Include it in a game. While strfile doesn't support 'fields' or 'records', there's no reason that the text strings can't be con- sistent: first line, a die roll; second line, a score; third and subsequent lines, a text message. 3 Use it to store your address book. Hell, some of the guys I know would be as well off using it to decide who to call on Fri- day nights (and for some, it wouldn't matter whether there were phone numbers in it or not). 4 Use it in 'lottery' situations. If you're an ISP, write a script to store login names and GECOS from /etc/passwd in str- file format, write another to send 'congratulations, you've won' to the lucky login selected. The prize might be a month's free service, or if you're AOL, a month free on a real service provider. My improvement ideas: 5 Those who study a foreign language may find it useful to have a word-bank that shows sentences you want to understand better by reading them randomly and include in shell start script. Maybe you can start by picking your favorite novel from wikiquotes and convert the quotes into a format acceptable for strfile, and enjoy one quote every time opening a terminal. 6 Tip-of-the-day for message to show when user started your application. 7 A website of environmental protection can show a tip how to do things with least harm to the environment for every visitor, which simply invoke fortune on every page request, e.g. by using SSI. I know these things work well because I implemented all of use 5, 6 and 7. But being an infrequent participate of OSS I don't know how to contribute this information back to the author / maintainer of the manual (not mentioned in the manual itself). I also worry improving something that hasn't been changed for 10 years could be difficult because nobody wish to move them. What should I do or who should I contact to let them decide if they include my idea in their manual as well? In fact I think the 4th lottery idea isn't better than any of 5, 6, 7 because it is not a full use of strfile, which can produce random text repeatedly (in case of 4, random text is only needed as many time as you decide to give price to someone). And is the change going to spread to other systems that uses strfile? e.g. many Linux distributions contain the strfile manual from BSD distributions. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

how to fight concurrent connection DOS attack to FreeBSD ftpd?
Dear all I run a ftp site which is being attacked by someone who issue some 1000 concurrent connection for downloading as anonymous. How can I fight back? The behaviour is like this: after '#/etc/rc.d/ftpd start', the number of ftpd process goes to several thousands. ps told me they are all accessed from the same user. I read the manual and found ftpd.conf(5) says /etc/ftpd.conf is the configuration file for ftpd(8). But creating /etc/ftpd.conf with limit all 10 doesn't help (system behaviour the same), seems ftpd ignored the configuration file. I worry if ftpd.conf is REALLY the configuration of ftpd? because ftpd.conf is not mentioned in ftpd(8) manual page. Usually the configuration file of a daemon is always mentioned in the daemon manual page. If ftpd.conf is not the right manual page to read, can you suggest which configuration manual to read to fight back this attack? Thanks in advance!

[SOLVED] Re: how to fight concurrent connection DOS attack to FreeBSD ftpd?
Thank you very much for everyone helped me. As a summary: 1. Bill Moran pointed out the mistake in ftpd.conf which should refer to lukemftpd (but referred to ftpd); He also suggested using lukemftpd in place of ftpd, but my ftpd is patched by myself and I prefer not to patch it again to lukemftpd (too few time now), thus I prefer keep using ftpd; 2. JD Bronson suggested using pf for controlling traffic, which is more powerful and can solve more problems, but takes a learning curve; 3. Quan Qiu gave an instant fix method, start ftpd from inetd.conf, which worked instantly solved my problem. I also need to give not only nowait/50/10 But also nowait/50/10/10 Because the attacker is very determined, with nowait/50/10 he makes sure I got 50 connections after 5 minutes, making other people not able to login.

Try wrapping your ftpd using inetd. There are some limits to max child processes and max connections per ip in inetd.conf(5).

mc (GNU midnight commander) have I18N problem on FreeBSD?
Dear list I found mc 4.6.1 behave differently on FreeBSD 6.2 and SuSE 10.2 1) run urxvt on FreeBSD 6.2 2) run mc 4.6.1, take a screenshot: gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/I/users/weiwu/mconfreebsd.png 3) in the same urxvt window, ssh to another host running OpenSuSE 10.2; 4) run mc 4.6.1, take a screenshot: gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/I/users/weiwu/mconsuse.png So mc look different (and bad) on FreeBSD.

is this possible? (let user able to access two moint points, one beneath another)
Dear all I wish to export two directories for other people to mount, so I write in my /etc/exports: /var/ftp/pub -ro /var/ftp/pub/music -ro Start NFS server then I found only /var/ftp/music is successfully exported, /var/log/message says: Jul 22 15:34:32 exupery mountd[404]: can't change attributes for /var/ftp/pub/music Jul 22 15:34:32 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list line /var/ftp/pub/music -ro I cannot understand what is change attributes and why it cannot be done, so I go to read handbook. Here is the handbook section about this issue http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/networking.html#EXPORTS-ERRORS 12.13. Why does mountd keep telling me it “can't change attributes” and that I have a “bad exports list” on my FreeBSD NFS server? The most frequent problem is not understanding the correct format of /etc/exports. Please review exports(5) and the NFS entry in the Handbook, especially the section on configuring NFS. And yes, I reviewed both document, and I am sure the format is correct because it's only two similar lines and the first line is accepted by server: /var/ftp/pub -ro /var/ftp/pub/music -ro Give up on this, then I think probably I can use -alldirs. I write my /etc/exports: /var/ftp/pub -alldirs -ro Start NFS server, check /var/log/messages I found: Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: -alldirs requested but /var/ftp/pub is not a filesystem mountpoint Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list line /var/ftp/pub -alldirs This seems to suggest that I cannot use -alldirs because /var/ftp/pub is a plain directory, only a mount point can use -alldirs (in my case, /var). So I am stuck here. Any suggestion getting me out? Is it possible at all to export a directory and also it's sub-directory?

mouse wheel doesn't work
Dear everyone on the list On my xorg-6.9.0 installed on FreeBSD 6.2, USB mouse work just fine with mouse wheel; ps/2 mouse do not work. Nothing happens when scrolling mouse wheel. As I have only one ps/2 mouse I cannot test if all ps/2 mice suffer from such problem or just this one, but I am sure this mouse works fine on Windows and Ubuntu Linux with wheel. By testing with xev it turns out no event is sent to X when scrolling mouse wheel. By running 'moused -df -p /dev/psm0' it turns out mouse daemon is not aware of scrolling at all (no message output when scrolling wheel, a lot of message output when moving mouse or clicking). Various parameter of moused is tried, including '-z 4' and various mouse type (which always get me the message mouse type mismatch (ps/2 != mouseman), ps/2 is assumed, as manual suggested there is only one type for ps/2 mice). Mouse section of xorg seems to be correct, and I think it's not useful to tweak X configuration if moused cannot by itself detect mouse wheel movement. Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection xmodmap also shows there is no re-mapping of mouse buttons. Again if moused isn't aware of scrolling, working on X level doesn't seem to be helpful. The box is thinkpad 380XD with an IBM red check-point on the keyboard, which as far as I know is also /dev/psm0, probably something on hardware level is done to merge signal of check-point and real ps/2 mouse together, and mouse wheel movement might be dropped during this merge. manual pages for psm0 suggested there are multiple operation level of the driver, at level one wheel events are ignored, at level two wheel events are included. The manual suggested how to set operation level in C, but didn't say how to set or get current operation level with command line (if it's possible at all). If it's because the model if my mouse is happen not to be in the model database of psm0 then what should I do to submit my mouse model to the database to help FreeBSD have a larger coverage of hardware information? Thanks. P.S. I can use USB mouse which is fine, just still like to ask about PS/2 mouse out of curious.

Thank you for the information! Now I have made it work.
0) edit /etc/rc.d/moused, remove '-t {$mytype}' from moused parameter
list:
#/usr/sbin/moused ${myflags} -p ${myport} -t ${mytype} ${_pidarg}
/usr/sbin/moused ${myflags} -p ${myport} ${_pidarg}
1) enter DOS mode with a Windows 98 rescue disk
2) use the PS2.EXE form Lenovo, run 'ps2.exe tpoint autodisable';
3) reboot, enter FreeBSD, mouse wheel is working now.
It's important to do step 0 because moused can only forward wheel scroll
to X if it's invoked without -t parameter. I think there are two bugs:
Bug A:
As manual of moused says:
For the PS/2 mouse:
ps/2 This is the only protocol type available for the
PS/2 mouse and should be specified for any PS/2
mice, regardless of the brand.
In fact, it is wrong! If I invoke moused with -t ps/2, mouse
wheel doesn't work.
This doesn't work (according to manual it should):
moused -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2
In fact, only this works: moused -p /dev/psm0, no -t
parameter.
This must be a bug. 100% of all users who read the manual should
directly conclude they should get equal or better result with -t
ps/2 than with no -t parameter for their ps/2 mouse, this is
wrong, they get better result without -t parameter.
Bug B:
As said in the manual, -t is an optional
parameter. /etc/rc.d/moused should respect this.
If user didn't specify -t, then it should not assume to use -t
microsoft, it should launch moused without -t parameter. Even
if there is a good reason to assume the device is microsoft
type, this assume logic should be placed in moused source code.
Moused should be the one knowing how to handle different
situation automatically and fall-back sanely. The rc.d script
tries to do too much and think it's smarter then device driver
on deciding device type without even communicating to device at
all.
This is a user's point of view and welcome developer with
background knowledge to correct me.
Thanks again Nikola for helping me out!

disable PCI interrupt sharing in 6.1?
Dear list I have one PCMCIA slot unusable in 6.1 but is fine in 4.7 (when OLDCARD is being used). I am just guessing perhaps this has something to do with interrupt sharing. I cannot find in man page of 'pccard' enough information on how to tweak any option, looks there is no option for pccard(4). Is there a way to disable interrupt sharing for PCI devices? As far as I know the whole concept of NEWCARD is to address the issue of PCI cards, however I only have ISA cards and 16-bit card bridge and NEWCARD didn't solve any of my problem (because I had no problem) but probably created more.

Others on the forums suggested (in 2003) that I should disable PNP feature in BIOS, which is impossible for me because my old IBM Thinkpad don't offer such config option (the only config option had been change system date/time and start-up-sequence). Even if it doesn't affect the use of the system I'd like to know a bit about the background knowledge. At least two devices on my FreeBSD doesn't work, the COM port and the second PCMCIA slot (anything on that slot doesn't work), though I don't think the two devices are related to this kernel message. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank pad 380XD, press F1 to enter BIOS. I used it since many years ago first with 4.7, later with 5.1 and 6.2. Shamed to still be a newbie after so many years. I mostly use terminal on it for various tasks. what you describe (as only being able to set the date and the startup sequence) seems to indicate you dont have admin access to the BIOS...but i could be wrong... I guess I need some type of Windows 95 or MS DOS utility issued by IBM in order to do any change in BIOS settings. At least that's what I recall when I get it. Too many years passed and I am not sure now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: /boot/device.hints only work for some devices in FreeBSD 6.2?

It sounds like you haven't read man device.hints. That is a good place to start. Thanks for pointing out which TFM to read, I am feeling much more welcomed than if someone just drop me a message to RTFM. Are you referring to this section of device.hints(5)? They are most often used by ISA device drivers to specify where the driver will probe for the relevant devices, and what resources it will attempt to use. My uhci0 on pci is using IRQ 11, so does my ep0 which is on 16-bit PCMCIA slot. At first I thought this is impossible because I learnt ISA interrupt share is difficult or impossible; but later I think, maybe my ep0 is an ISA device (PC Card Type II slot is shrinked version of ISA slot) but the PC Card bridget is on PCI, thus it can share interrupts. The fact cbb0 sits on PCI (in dmesg) also looks like a prove of this. Not sure if my understanding is correct. cbb0: TI1250 PCI-CardBus Bridge mem 0x20822000-0x20822fff at device 2.0 on pci0 pccard0: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb0 Thanks again for comment:) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
only first PCMCIA card works
Dear list Running FreeBSD-6.1 RELEASE on Thinkpad 380XD, I have been using this notebook for many years (and used FreeBSD from 4.7 to 6.1). An ethernet card is plugged on the first PCMCIA slot and I inserted my FC card reader (PCMCIA card produced by Hitachi) and noticed it's not detected (no message about it in dmesg) Later I discovered any card in the first PCMCIA slot works, any card in second slot, be it ethernet card or FC card adapter, doesn't work. I have pccard_enable=YES in my rc.conf. dmesg told me this: # dmesg | grep pccard pccard0: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb0 pccard1: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb1 ep0: 3Com Corporation 3C589D at port 0x100-0x10f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0 Actually I am not sure what to do next. I checked dmesg and found irq 11 is used by uchi0, as well as ep0, surprisingly both works, maybe my knowledge of IRQ is outdated. I also checked that my IRQ 3, 4 and 10 are not used (3 4 are free because my sio hardware is borken so I disabled it in /boot/devices.hint), so I write /etc/pccard.conf which says: irq 3 4 10 But after reboot the ep0 device still get 10 (I suspect it can get 3?) Then I go to added this to /boot/devices: hint.uhci.0.at=pci hint.uhci.0.irq=3 After reboot uchi0 is still at irq 11. Strange. I attached both of my dmesg and kernel config file.

FreeBSD official document still refer to pccard_enable=YES which is no longer used thanks to the new card system. Link is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/pcmcia.html III. No information about deprecation of pcic/card is mentioned in manual, also the pccard manual is too short to provide useful information. No information about pccardc's dependency on old pcic/card device drive is mentioned in pccardc's manual (which would lead people to ask why pccardc complain /dev/card0 doesn't exist) and I cannot find the new userland tool that replaces pccardc for testing and adjusting pccard behavior. Not just someone who try to complain here, but having this note might help other people find useful information or serve as a note to developers help FreeBSD improve in next version. Now I try to compile a kernel using pcic/card device drive and see if my second card would work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
iftop doesn't work with tun0?
As of 0.17, iftop change log says it being to support ppp interface, while in my case it doesn't work for my tun0 which is created by /etc/rc.d/ppp (DSL connection). Launch 'iftop -i tun0' does correctly show up all active TCP connections and from/to address, but bandwidth usage for every connection are always '0b'. Any one hit this problem too or give me a hint? I googled but earliest post about tun0 and iftop is on 2004, before release 0f v0.17 of iftop. Again I am not sure if I should mail iftop developers, as maybe they didn't design specifically for FreeBSD. Or, at least, perhaps someone already successfully run iftop on ppp link and can tell me if this behavior I saw is normal or not. Thanks a lot in advance! Below is example output of monitoring tun0.

It doesn't make me nervous when I have to RTFM as I did many times and, now I am RTFMing, but, I got a feeling I am entering a maze filled with things I don't know: termcap, bound rate... Anyway this is how I did it after RTFM, stupid but works: 1) go to /etc/gettytab and add this: W|Wd|Wd console:\ :ht:np:al=root:sp#9600: 2) run /usr/libexec/getty Wd ttyv8 3) now you can run your application and redirect to ttyv8 # app /dev/ttyv8 This is ugly, but it works. I'd very like to see better solutions. If you don't add that line to /etc/gettytab, run /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv8 will get you a ttyv8 console that you can redirect output to, but that console seems ignore carrier return / line feed, making the output difficult to read. P.S. I'd very much like the console ttyv8 can be at a speed of 9600, now it output anything almost instantly, so sometimes I cannot watch the output scroll with my eyes (by the special nature of the application I am running, glance over the output of my application when I am free can help me find a lot of useful information). The application produce less then 20MB of data, so 9600 kbps is a good measure to control the pace of output. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

share my experience: highlight parts of a text file that matches a regular expression

First I thought this is simple: $ my_app | grep --color=auto 'regexp' This method have a big problem that lines doesn't match regexp is not displayed, in my case I want all output of my_app being displayed, only the matching part highlighted. First I thought grep might have a parameter to output everything it receive, and it seems it doesn't. And I discovered I can use '-e' parameter for this purpose: $ my_app | grep --color=auto -e 'regexp' -e '$' The second -e makes all line matched.

[solved] Re: harddisk failed strangely, badly need to recover data
Actually this is not solved. I have discovered that it will not be easy to solve this problem and decided to accept the lose of data, that's how it solved/ Basically the accident took place because one line in /etc/fstab was wrong. in /etc/fstab /dev/ad6s1c is used as swap, when FreeBSD boots, it use /dev/ad6s1c as swap, destroying data blocks around these sectors. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/backups]# disklabel /dev/ad6s1 # /dev/ad6s1: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 3125766420unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit d: 31257664204.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 So in this case the 'c' partition as far as I can understand should not be used for any purpose. I didn't intentionally create 'c' partition, nor can I see this partition in Disk Label Editor of sysinstall. I don't know why it's there.

Re: Is FreeBSD simple enough for Novices, Will FreeBSD accept Office 98 + Publisher?
Dear James I am afraid the answer is no. FreeBSD is simple enough on its technical structural but not the kind of simple as to novice user (so the right question might be if FreeBSD is novice-user friendly enough or easy to learn enough). The OS best fitting your requirement could be Ubuntu Linux or SuSE, while both can run Office 98, but you probably need to buy and install a software called CrossOffice (around 65$) before you can run Office 98. However the OpenOffice office suit which by default installed in SuSE and Ubuntu is superior than Office 98 in functionality, and can open your old Office 98 documents just fine (except, if you are in China, the Chinese compatibility is not very good for both Office 98 and OpenOffice). If you install CrossOffice, Microsoft Publisher 2000 can run on it, but better check with CrossOffice sales people first, this company designed and sells CrossOffice: http://www.codeweavers.com The interface of Ubunti Linux is very easy to learn and is not very different from Windows. I myself use OpenOffice Draw for making publications. For me it's enough, however it lack the feature of template publications which Publisher offers, so if you think templates are very important (e.g. being able to use template to create a Christmas Card in minutes without having design knowledge like match color) then maybe you still need Publisher. I myself use OpenSuSE for desktop, making publication and doing spreadsheet for business, writing documents, contracts and invoices, using email etc. (Right now I am using it). I know many friends use Ubuntu that can do these things just fine. FreeBSD is used as server system here in my office. FreeBSD also can run a lot of desktop software but all through the years I generally see much more Linux users using desktop software.

It's my everyday office life. And using OpenOffice you don't need to buy CrossOffice (65$) which is used to run Microsoft Office (which again is not free) If you have questions using OpenOffice, there are a lot of OpenOffice users there on the forum that are very willing to help. See www.oooforum.org I think both Ubuntu and Mac OS are your good choice!

If something doesn't work on wine, after some search I probably can fix it; if something doesn't work on crossoffice I simply don't try spend one more minute searching for a solution, because generally that means there is no solution. Install some software on crossoffice is breezy: you follow a wizard and later it's working. That's only from my limited experience because I really didn't try a lot of windows software but I had this feeling. That's why when the original poster ask the question I even didn't mention the word wine, I did this intentionally so that I can save him time searching for solutions to fix wine or get disappointed by it. To techies like us we have 3 solutions: 1) use OOS replacement; 2) dig into wine and google around for a solution and 3) try buy crossoffice, for NOVINCE user there are only two choices: 1) use OOS replacement; 2) buy crossoffice if the software is supported.

There are no known console-based bug tracker (there are also a lot of console-based bug reporter) Sorry, I'm not familiar with ncurse, so can't comment on it. The system I developed ten years ago was centered on Informix RDBMS, which included tools for creating character-based forms (Perform), reports (ACE report writer), and of course queries and stored procs. The shell scripts were used in conjunction with the RDBMS for tasks such as running reports and emailing the results to various individuals and mail groups, and extracting bug regression tests into executable scripts. Overhead was very low -- that's one great advantage of character-based applications (the Windows lovers complained bitterly about it, but we proved it was far more efficient and effective than the junk they were building). Good luck finding or building a system that meets your needs. I simply don't have time for non-essential activities, as I'm a one-person operation.

Re: best programming language for console/sql application?
If this is a product you developed long time ago, and especially if it's no longer used or the old company quit this business, it's probably possible to ask them if they can opensource the old product, and someone may come up and make it better? P.S. I was thinking of an ncurse-style interface, so can shell script do this? I thought shell tools like dialog wasn't powerful enough to support an user interface required by a bug tracker.

This solution also worked on PC clients (we used Reflection-X, but I'd recommend XWin32). Our design was selected over a PC-only solution that another faction was pushing (we had more UNIX clients than PC's at that time). It had some pretty sophisticated features for the time (some carried over from a previous version), including: Automated email notifications and summaries designed to support our software development methodology. Retrieve and display SCCS deltas to display code changed for a bug fix. Ability to store bug regression tests (manual and automated) in several different languages, and automatically generate automated regression tests based on several different criteria, including Product, Platform, Version Range, and Programming Language. This one was my baby (brag). I've also rewritten HPUX makefiles in bsh to permit execution on multiple UNIX platforms (HPUX make has some unique features not found in make on other UNIX platforms). Based on the above experience, I'd recommend shell scripts, though this will likely generate some opposition. In any case, if your system only needs to run on one platform, I'd use built-in tools. Since then, I've played around with using perl for CGI scripting (hated it), then PHP, which I love for this purpose. Zhang Weiwu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear list This is OT.

best programming language for console/sql application?
Dear list This is OT. I am a 4 year php developer and is very familiar with javascript and awk (familiar = knows and used all functions and features of the language itself) and I am a 5 year FreeBSD user. Being frustrated for the lack of a good console-based issue tracking tool (like mantis or bugzilla), I think I should start to write my own. I'll either start from scratch or (better) write a frontend for mantis which I used for years. 1. If someone has already started, I should try join him/her rather than reinventing the wheel. So if someone knows any person who is starting to work on a slim console-based issue tracker, please let me know. I already did quit a few searches. I know someone is working on a console front-end of G-Forge, but a big software like G-Forge is not what I am thinking of. 2. If I start my own, I think I'll be using a console widget library (ncurse? because it's famous), an SQL database (no problem) and a programming language. I never developed console application before, so here asking for suggestions on what programming language to choose. Non of my known language php/javascript/awk are suitable so I guess I have to learn a new language anyway. The language better be easy to learn and work with (C++ is out), not necessarily have complicated calculation feature (like the graphical report mantis makes), not necessarily OOP. I have perl and tcl in my head now, can you make some recommendations?

Re: dhcpd assign duplicated IP address
Bill Moran 写道: In response to Zhang Weiwu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: snip P.S. In recent days we some times got another network problem and I'm not sure if it's related to this DHCP server behavior. It happens on both Linux and Windows hosts that a host suddenly is no longer accessible (Ping no response). Check 'arp -a' on other hosts shows the host being accessed have wrong Mac Address. e.g. yesterday 218.193.55.195 suddenly become in-accessible, this host is Linux and we got this behavior on a nearby host: sappho # arping 218.193.55.195 Unicast reply from 218.193.55.195 [00:0F:EA:4B:82:58] 0.638ms Unicast reply from 218.193.55.195 [00:0F:EA:4B:82:58] 0.637ms Sent 113 probes (1 broadcast(s)) Received 113 response(s) sappho # arp -a 218.193.55.195 ?

You have something seriously wrong somewhere. They may be related but there's not enough information here to be sure. Consider installing arpwatch on one or more systems and see if the reports it sends narrow down the problem. I have followed Jeffrey's suggestion and reconfigured dhcpd.conf to make sure no host with specified IP address is within dynamic assigned IP range. I was mislead by my previous experience with Microsoft DHCP server configuration where a host with fixed IP address should be within the range. After updated dhcpd.conf I haven't see an IP conflict yet, I'll watch a few days. For the ARP issue, thanks for suggesting arpwatch. I'd like to take a deeper look into how ARP works later.

dhcpd assign duplicated IP address
I am not sure if I understood DHCP correctly. I have this configuration
in my /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf (Using FreeBSD 6.1):
subnet 218.193.55.192 netmask 255.255.255.192 {
range 218.193.55.194 218.193.55.254;
option routers 218.193.55.193;
}
[snip]
host sappho.realss.com {
hardware ethernet 80:00:20:B0:99:31;
fixed-address 218.193.55.196;
option routers 218.193.55.193;
}
And I think this means the DHCP server should not assign IP address
218.193.55.196 to any hosts that do not have MAC address of
80:00:20:B0:99:31. But today a Windows user come with a notebook and
he got assigned 218.193.55.196 IP address (and he complain he cannot
surf the web). Check /var/db/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases and there is:
lease 218.193.55.196 {
starts 4 2007/04/19 01:49:23;
ends 4 2007/04/19 11:49:23;
tstp 4 2007/04/19 11:49:23;
binding state active;
next binding state free;
hardware ethernet 00:c0:9f:73:0d:0a;
uid \001\000\300\237s\015\012;
client-hostname dawnlinux;
}
So the question is, did I misconfigured dhcpd.conf or what's the reason
dhcpd is assigning an IP address it should not?
Thanks a lot in advance! My dhcpd.conf is attached.
P.S. In recent days we some times got another network problem and I'm
not sure if it's related to this DHCP server behavior. It happens on
both Linux and Windows hosts that a host suddenly is no longer
accessible (Ping no response). Check 'arp -a' on other hosts shows the
host being accessed have wrong Mac Address. e.g. yesterday
218.193.55.195 suddenly become in-accessible, this host is Linux and we
got this behavior on a nearby host:
sappho # arping 218.193.55.195
Unicast reply from 218.193.55.195 [00:0F:EA:4B:82:58] 0.638ms
Unicast reply from 218.193.55.195 [00:0F:EA:4B:82:58] 0.637ms

Received 113 response(s)
sappho # arp -a 218.193.55.195
? (218.193.55.195) at 00:02:2A:C1:53:87 [ether] on eth0
arping reply is different from arp cache. This host become accessible
the next day. Strange. Are these two problems related?

relatively easy to handle this task in awk with this script:

This prints a createTimestamp: line on its own block for every 2
consecutive empty lines (in context of the whole program).
Ah, yes, if there are two empty lines this line would create a mistake.
The original input file's sections are strictly one-empty-line-divided
and one empty line before EOF, thus I was lucky. However I wasn't aware
of your point when I wrote this.
/^ahkCreateTimeStamp:/ { timeStamp = $2;}
/^createTimestamp:/ { if (timeStamp == ) timeStamp = $2; }
$0 !~ /^ahkCreateTimeStamp:/ $0 !~ /^createTimestamp:/ {
print;
}
Interesting, your description of the solution (sadly not in the
quoted reply) allowed for createTimestamp move to
ahkCreateTimeStamp line, but implementation above keeps the
createTimestamp at its place. So I suppose order does not
matter(?).
Well, actually order is not important. I forgot to mention this...

I've got a situation that looks like require using variable and not possible to process with sed. But I am not sure. Can someone suggest me if this task is out of scope of sed? The input document is sections of data separated by an empty new line; in each section there are a few lines. It's like this: dn: uid=ABB,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de uid: ABB ahkCreateTimeStamp: 1996032800Z creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de createTimestamp: 20060425094550Z dn: uid=paulblome,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de uid: paulblome sn: Blome createTimestamp: 20060417071950Z modifiersName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de modifyTimestamp: 20060630094026Z The above sample showed two sections in input data. It's required to process the data in following rule: if a data section has ahkCreateTimeStamp: abc, replace it with createTimestamp: abc and remove the original createTimestamp: def line; That is, the result data of above sample should be: dn: uid=ABB,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de uid: ABB createTimestamp: 1996032800Z creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de dn: uid=paulblome,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de uid: paulblome sn: Blome createTimestamp: 20060417071950Z modifiersName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de modifyTimestamp: 20060630094026Z -- Zhang Weiwu Real Softservice http://www.realss.com +86 592 2091112 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

export nfs to a host with dynamic IP address
Maybe this is not possible, but can I export NFS share to a host that have dynamic IP address? My office server export an NFS share folder to several local desktop computers. I often need to access these NFS share from my home computer, which have dynamic IP address. I do have a fixed domain name, myhome.ods.org always have a A dns record pointing to my home computer. Having dynamic IP address never caused a problem for me because, as I said I have fixed domain name (updated with ez-ipupdate) but when it comes to NFS it is a problem. If I write my fixed domain name in /etc/export I wouldn't be able to mount that share. NFS server seems to check the IP address that wish to connect to it, reverse lookup its domain name, and compare it with what's written in /etc/exports. For me it doesn't work because my dynamic IP address cannot reverse resolve to my fixed domain address. So, is there a network file system that can work for my case? I never tried NFS SSL authentication things because after a google search it looks quit complex to install and configure: but if that's the only way to go I'll start to learn it. I also know samba can provide authentication so I don't have to rely on IP address to control access. However I never set up samba server before: also I would do it if that's the only way to go. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance.

The new bios default setting is chagned a lot, including a change that by default BIOS lcd turn-off timer is not activated. If someone got the same problem as I got and don't wish to upgrade BIOS (as stated in an very early post I found by googling around, the latest BISO breaks apm feature on FreeBSD, not confirmed and don't know if this is a problem already solved) you can still get a Configuration utility for DOS - ThinkPad General (UTTPFDOS.EXE) from IBM (now Lenovo) website.

how do I tell if my sio0 port is broken?
Hello List. I guess my sio0 port is broken on my Thinkpad, OS is FreeBSD-6.1. Reason: 1) I have tested a null-modem serial cable is working by using it on a dumb-terminal and a headless server. With the same cable and same headless server, but replace dumb-terminal with my thinkpad, run $ tip com1 connected Then, whatever key I press, nothing happens. Usually I should see login prompt after I pressed Enter key. Test was done with FreeBSD Generic kernel. 2) I have plugged a modem (with ordinary serial cable, not the null-modem one) on it and run minicom. If I type 'at' I should get 'OK' as prompt, but I didn't. The same modem and same cable work for another Linux box. 3) I go to BIOS and do a serial port test, test result is OK, but I think bios have no knowledge if a port is broken when it's not connected to anything at all. So, I think next morning I should go and check if there are PCMCIA card that can provide an extra COM port, but before that I think I should write this letter to the list to see what you guys would do in this case: do you also think this looks like COM1 port is broken?

Hello. For one of the small project I am working on, a console-based or X-based issue tracker is preferred over web-based solutions (like Trac or Bugzilla). Basically it only need to be able to work with issue priority, category, dates and status. So far I know a lot of webbased issue tracker, but never heard/knew anything that works on console or X. I guess maybe any console/X application that work as a project management tool can be used for this purpose too. After having found nothing useful by searching for issue tracker tool on google, I am begining to try searching for project management tool but the results are too much to pick from, many Linux desktop project management tool are not suitable for issue tracking Can someone provide some suggestions on avaialbe products to choose from? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mount_smbfs: charset convertion (-E) doesn't work
Hello. I tried a lot of different methods but I cannot mount a Windows share which is in GB18030 charset to my FreeBSD host in UTF-8 charset.

I believe this means they are all broadcasting. I don't know if it also allows an indirect request: X -indirect your X host Oh, and take also a note of this in xdm-config file: !

the most light weight X web browser?
Hello. My friend is running a tea house, she want to put her ancient Pentium 100 notebook (24MB memory) running FreeBSD 4.9, on the bar so customers can use it check mails and browse the web. (and I want to help her.) She want it to just function as a browser machine, she don't even need a window manager, the X starts up just to run a browser. (However a memory saving window manager is okay, too. But such a slow notebook what browser do you suggest to use? The harddisk don't have much space after the OS is installed, and memory is pretty limited. Epiphany comes to my mind, but it depends on Mozilla and gtk. If there is an extremely light weighted browser that just use Athena (or can be compiled so) it would be better. Perhaps Epiphany is the only choice? If so can we make it even lighter?

Or it should be able to reject all emails with Windows executable file attached 3) should be albe to extend to handle multi-domains in the future I don't really understand what part of email server is handled by what program.

easy way to do batch mail?
Hello. I am running a local small non-profit club, every two-week I need to send news email to about 30+ club members. The number is still growing. I'm not a spammer but my ISP's smtp server refuse to send emails with 10+ recipients. So I split recipients and send 4 mails, silly way it is. In my LAN the dns server cannot return mx record correctly (yes I tried and complained, it's another story though) so I prefer to rely on ISP's smtp server. There is also another reason: big email providers in China like sina.com do a mx reverse look up on incoming mails, so if I send it use sendmail from my compuer (no public domain name) they will be rejected. Is it possible to have a plugin or set some settings to let my mozilla split recipients list for me? Or is there an alternative workaround? I read a bit about bsmtp port, it sounds too complicated for occasional use Thank you.

what's the difference of -R and -r?
From cp(1): Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This implementation supports that option, however, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links or fifo's. So I keep using -R rather than -r in cp. But I found other commands like scp(1), ncftp(1), does not support -R; they use -r. Does that mean other tools like scp, ncftp, do not copy special files, follow symbolic links rather than re-create them, do not deal with fifo's correctly? I think it is reasonable, because creating symbolic links cross different hosts is useless, so it is with special files. About fifo files, I don;t know what that is:) _ MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
burncd not able to create multisession disco?
Hello. I'm learning to burn CD-R in FreeBSD 5.2 on my Thinkpad T40 with an atapi combo-disco drive. I read some docs on cdrecord(1), all these emulate-SCSI things are spining my head! To me burncd(8) is much more easier. The manual says if I don't do fixate, I don't get TOC; if I do fixate, the disco is finalized. What I wish to do is to burn a multisession data disco, the data session should be closed but the disco should not be finalized so I can add other files later. So it seems burncd(8) cannot do it?

I tried to install several sound editor, glame tried to pull down the gtk1 library and depended packages, so stopped it. audacity takes too long time to compile (still doing now). I tried sweep, and it hung my machine; it seems trying to load the whole wave file into memory. I find xwava compiles correctly, runs okay, but it can do downmix only when the file fits memory. I also tried several other ports I don't remember now. Now I worked the whole afternoon without any progress. I think there must be some handy tools can do this. On audio port directory I tried make search key=mono make search key=downmix Both returned nothing. So what do you suggest me to use? If this happens to be your situation, dudes, how do you find a handy tool quickly? I don't want to waste time on such jobs in future again. _ MSN Explorer: http://explorer.msn.com/lccn/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What the hell, I don't find a menuitem/settings dialogue box to let me downmix it. Should I finish learning a whole sound editor before I can do simple work like downmixing a wave file?

[OT?] write C program with UTF16LE
Hello. Although I write some php/perl script, I don't write C program. Now I have a very large text file in UTF16LE format, the rule is strings are seperated by numbers. Say 0300 6100 6200 6300 0400 6700 5400 9800 7400 0300 Leading 0300 means the following 3 characters (6 bytes) is a string, and the next 0400 means the following 4 characters makes another string. I need to read the file and replace every number-style string seperator with a linefeed. I decide to use C, it is a good chance to start some practice on C. The old getc() I learnt from school is not my cup of tea, because I always need to do two getcs at once, and for the seperators I need to do getc()+getc()*256. What is the best practics to deal with such number/UTF16 mixed text? I googled around and find some tutorials, most i18n toturials think I'm already a C expert:( I find the glibc manual looks good learning resource, but I am the kind of newbie don't know if I am using glibc at all. When I just write #include stdio.h Am i using the stdio.h from glibc? I think simply point me a tutorial that fits me will do me more help.

The most frequent cause is that they don't need the CPU so much as
something else, like disk I/O, etc. Could you please post the whole
output of top (and a snapshot of systat -vmstat, for example)?

Before this vmstat and top snapshoot, I tried ppp+ssh send a file, speed is
average 40KB/s, cpu is mostly free. And I start the mpg123 at rtprio 20,
ssh begin to speed down. 10 seconds since the music begin, ssh display

Sounds reasonable:) Things can hardly be perfect. Now I begin to use mpg123, I used your method of rtprio up and su back, very useful to me. But if mpg123 has higher priority than ppp, sometimes mpg123 decides to move to another song, it reloads buffer, starveing ppp and timeouting bluetooth device... If mpg123 has equal/lower priority with ppp, they struggle for CPU, and that *sounds* bad. Now I adjusted buffer, it works so so. I read the handbook it says no way to limit CPU percentage. It's my toy, a old P166M box, I let other people in the office ssh to the box with cmp3 console DJ (backended mpg123) to play music, because it has good speakers. I use ppp over bluetooth to connect to the box when I'm enjoying sun shine outdoor. The best way seems to buy a new one:) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

a good solution share the speaker?
Several people are using notebooks in the office, the big desktop computer stores music. A good speaker is pluged into the desktop computer (FreeBSD). What do you think is the best solution to share the speaker? These are what I can think of: * Marc Lehmann wrote a perl module for playing music with mpg123. Write a cgi script and let people select playlist/control play on the webpage. * Find a existing good mpg123 frontend, modify it, let it control the mpg123 on another computer through ssh or even let inetd bring up the mpg123 player and let the fontend talk to a socket. What do you think is the best approach?

scheduling priority not working?
Hello. I thought scheduling priority is the kind of absolute priority, that is only when the higher priority process don't ask for resource, can the lower priority process gets resource. If the higher priority process sucks, the lower priority process starvs. Now I have a old Pentium-mmx 166 box, running mpg321 fine. I wish to listen to music when recompile the kernel, so turn on the music, do: #nice make; I thought nice make use the resouce mpg321 left to it, but actually the music process is seriously disturbed, it begins to sound like terrible. So I don't realy understand the scheduling priority mechnism in FreeBSD? _ MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
