Re: more then 2G shm on RELENG_7
Hello, I'm to test PostgreSQL on a 7-BETA3. The box has 12GB of memory in it, I've adjusted the sysctls, but postgresql always fails to allocate the SHM if it's bigger then 2GB. How can I make it to allocate more SHM than 2G at once? sysctl.conf: kern.ipc.shmall=1572864 kern.ipc.shmmax=6442450944 kern.ipc.semmap=1024 kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1 /boot/loader.conf: zfs_load=YES vm.kmem_size=1073741824 vm.kmem_size_max=1073741824 kern.ipc.semmni=1024 kern.ipc.semmns=2048 kern.ipc.semmnu=1024 I've also hit a similar issue with qemu, but that wasn't shared memory, I had just tried to make it allocate more than 2GBs for a single vm, but that also failed. Still haven't figured out why was that. Sincerely, Gergely Czuczy mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Weenies test. Geniuses solve problems that arise. Hi!

Re: how to use an upgraded gcc compiler
Hi, I am running FreeBSD 6.2 Stable. The gcc version that was compiled in is 3.4.6. I installed gcc 4.04. I'm trying to install libxml-ruby, and I need to use gcc 4.0x, apparently. How do I use my newly installed gcc 4.04 to compile now? Charlie Hey Non-system gcc versions are usually called with a trailing version number. So what you might to try is gcc40 or gcc4 or something similar. Search for executables starting with gcc. Something like the above examples should show up.

Re: Network interface restart

When your network interface went down, you lost the connection, your shell lost the terminal and your script was terminated before it could finish doing what it was supposed to. Possibly you need to use something like nohup or screen (from ports), or have some other form of terminal available. Thanks for your answer.

Re: dualcore performance-smp technology
Hi folks, FreeBSD-6.2-amd64 Pls advice how to make FreeBSD fully utinize the benefit of dualcore. In Linux I recompiled a smp-kernel then it used dualcore performance. TIA B.R. Stephen Liu Hi! I suggest you have a look at the output of dmesg. More often than not, SMP functionality is already enabled. Another way to figure out how many processors are active, check sysctl hw.ncpu. If the output of the latter is one, you make a new kernel in FreeBSD as well. There should be a configuration called SMP already available.

Re: Asking for help on first installation
Hi FreeBSD folks, I'm a UNIX user for some time but now I'm trying to install my first FreeBSD system over the internet. I got along with the HW and pre-installation issues easily, the disk space is allocated, I know what to install. But I can't connect for download. I'd like to ask for your help.

Since you're using FreeBSD at home, in a private network you dont need to follow any rules regarding the settings. That means that you're free to pick a hostname of your choice. e.g. homecomputer. Since you're also not part of any domain you may pick that one also. Like homenetwork. The gateway is obviously 192.168.0.1. As nameserver you pick whichever German Telekom assigned. 217.237.151.142 is your own IP at the time and clearly not your nameserver. As Telekom customer you could just use 194.25.2.129 for example. Ok, in the little network interface window you use your local ip and netmask. so ipv4: 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0.

Thanks for the reply Ben. However I'm unable to boot from the mini-iso for
some reason. Set cdrom to bootable from bios setup, and it won't take. I
can set bios to boot from floppy and then it does, albeit tried a w98
floppy cuz don't have my fbsd floppies anymore.
But, can I run fsck from the sysinstall screen? Because that's what I

Re: Why can't I compile new kernel (fbsd5.3) with device ath?
Hi Just adding device ath is not enough. As your error messages suggest you also need to add device ath_hal to your config file...

Re: quick help ...
Hi! 1. Well instead of pressing enter you can let the timeout occur. Standard is 10 seconds. If this is still too long add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: autoboot_delay=SECONDS However I would not go too short here, since you might want to able to go to i.e. single user mode. Btw while your at it you can also set loader_color=yes in that file. Looks nicer. Whatever... 2. If I understand that right you want a graphical login right from the start?! To do this edit the file /etc/ttys. In the line of your login manager like xdm or kdm make sure it's says on, like: ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure 3. I dont know what you did with Xsession or Xsetup_0 (I left mine default) but if you want your user andrei to use KDE simply add exec startkde to his .xinitrc. That should do the job.

Re: I did it, and now I need to undo it...
Hi! Since single user doesn't work anymore I would try the use a LiveCD. Once you mounted your root partition you chroot in there and change the password. That should work. I didn't try, though.

Re: Soundcard Issues
Hi! I'm not quite sure about this but try kldload snd_driver This will load every driver available. Then check /dev/sndstat again and see whether it found something. If it did you know that you just picked the wrong driver and it is be supported by something else. If it doesn't you're looking at a different problem, that as far as I can see is not related to the sounddrivers. Ben On Tuesday 09 November 2004 03:10, Rob Eidukaitis wrote: Hey there.

Re: The best release to install now?
Hi Well as far as I can tell from the upgrading point of view it make no difference whether you're coming from 5.2.1 or 5.3. Well I have 5.3BETA running on several machines without any problems. If I were you, I would try both. Install 5.2.1 to see if this works and then upgrade 5.3BETA. If any problems come up just reinstall 5.2.1.

I did something like this once. Just get the drive ready and mount under, say, /mnt. Since /tmp doesn't really matter copy everything from /usr to /tmp. Something like cp -pR /usr /mnt.
