Kris I was using portmanager to upgrade. I've always used this before and it's worked fine. I just type portmanager -u. Does that not work anymore? No idea, I don't use portmanager. Kris Assuming you have an updated ports collection, it should work fine It does on my system. I would recommend that you update your ports again and then run 'portmanager -u -f -y -l' and see if that fixes the problem. At the very least, a log file will be created '/var/log/portmanager.log' that might help track down the problem. HTH Hi, thanks for the advice. I tried that command and it's been updating for a couple of days (takes so long because of the prompts that come up that stop the installs). Anyway, now portmanager always gets to a certain point and my computer reboots. I looked in the logfile and there isn't much there, this is at the end of the file: Sun Apr 30 16:36:17 2006 kdelibs-3.4.2_1 /x11/kdelibs3 OLD kdelibs-3.5.2_1 /x11/kdelibs3 Any idea what could be causing this?

Azureus Window Massive
Hi, I am running fluxbox on FreeBSD 5.4. For some reason for the past several months my Azureus window has been steadily growing in size. It's now so big that I can't even re-size it. Vertically the bottom of the Window extends way off the screen. I searched and can't find anyone with a similar problem. I'm not sure if this is FreeBSD, Azureus or Fluxbox that is causing this, but it is irritating. Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this?

Or did you use DHCP? I use DHCP in Windows. This is one of the things I thought might be the problem. Can you tell me how to set this up to use DHCP? The command that the FreeBSD handbook told me to use includes specifying the IP Address. Thanks a million for the help. /Brian Best of luck, Andrew To continue using manual network configuration: 1. Identify the default gateway's IP address in /etc/rc.conf: defaultrouter=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2. Add your nameserver's IP address to /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx If you want to activate DHCP: 1. Eliminate the IP address and netmask from your ifconfig command. The ifconfig command will still be used to identify the ssid and provide the wep key. 2. Execute the ifconfig command. The interface needs to be configured with the ssid and wep key _before_ using DHCP. 3. Activate the DHCP client: dhclient ndis0 Hopefully, this will work for you. Andrew I tried this. This time the command executed but the wireless adapter didn't get an IP Address and doesn't show any of my wireless settings when I run ifconfig -a. Is there another command I need to do to acquire the IP Address from DHCP? Related commands and output are below. Thanks /Brian Command I used to configure the adapter: ifconfig ndis0 ssid Brian wepmode on wepkey my key channel 9 ifconfig output after running all commands: ndis0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:0e:2e:6d:4c:9d media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1

Re: xine / kaffeine core dumps with bus error
I think I'm having a similar problem with totem (which uses xine) and vlc. Can you try installing /usr/ports/multimedia/vlc and see what that does? If that gives a bus error as well then I think we might have the same issue. I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet... /Brian - Original Message - Hi, I went to play a video file today amp; with kaffeine and it crashed when trying to open the file. I decided to do a portupgrade -fR kaffeine\* to rebuild it and it's dependencies in the hope that would fix the problem, but it made no difference. Then I tried running xine by itself and found it gave a bus error and core dumped every time I tried to start it (not opening a file or anything). The splash screen appears, then the GUI, then both close and in the xterm I start it from, I just bus error. I've tried doing a portupgrade -f xine just in case, though it should have been re-built along with kaffeine. None of the above seems to fix the problem. I'm running FBSD 5.4-RELEASE p6 and my ports tree was updated last night. Port versions are: kaffeine-0.7.1 xine-0.99.4 Xine/Kaffeine used to work, evidently a recent portupgrade has broken it, though I'm not sure exactly when it last worked. Just hoping someone can suggest a fix!

lightweight bittorrent client that does queueing
Hello, I am looking for a lightweight bittorrent client that does download queueing. I know this is somewhat of a difficult thing to ask for, but I think it is possible. I've tried ctorrent, bittorrent and azureus. Obviously ctorrent and bittorrrent didn't work for me (because they don't do queueing). Azureus was great, except it slows down my entire computer. Actually, a console-based client that would do queueing would be ideal, but I don't think one exists. So what is the most lightweight client that I can get that will do download queueing?

I can't figure out why. This is what I have in dhclient.conf:
interface vr0 {
prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.2.65;
prepend domain-name-servers 205.171.3.65;

Any clue why this might not work?

Configure it not to: according to man dhclient.conf, a prepend

Or better yet, fix your router so that it either provides DNS services

help with pf
Hello,
I read the manpage on pf and constructed a basic set of rules and
macros. However, when I start pf it gives me errors about the syntax of
my file. Basically all I want to accomplish is I don't want my p2p
programs to be able to hog the traffic away from me if I'm trying to
surf. When I'm not surfing I want them to be able to download as fast
as possible.
Here is what I have added to pf.conf:
ext_if=vr0
further down
altq on $ext_if priq
queue mail priority 13
queue ssh priority 12
queue web priority 14
further down
pass in proto tcp from any to port http keep state queue web
pass in proto tcp from any to port ssh keep state queue ssh
pass in proto tcp from any to port {smtp imap} queue mail
Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? I thought that I had it
correct based on the manpage. I'm sure it's something really stupid
that I missed.
Thanks in advance for the help

Re: how to find files less than a day old?
FreeBSD box that I am connected to. I think it may be a Solaris 9
box.
Is there any way to get this to work in Solaris?
Maybe the solaris find command supports the -newer option. I think
-newer is more widely supported, and likely to be available on
Solaris.
If necessary, you could then create a reference file using touch with
the proper time stamp on it. You can do this automatically within a
script, using the date command to figure out the current time. You
can calculate the time one hour ago by using a command something like
TZ={your timezone 1} date

need a listing of files to pipe to cat. Is there any easier way to do
this? If there isn't, could you explain in more explicit email how to

/Brian
Here's some commands that should be pretty portable.
touch `TZ=CST7CDT date %m%d%H%M` /path/to/file
find . -newer /path/to/file -type f | xargs cat tmp.txt
Adjust the value of TZ to give the proper time in your locale. I'm in
Central Standard Time, which is normally expressed as CST6CDT, so I
added one to get CST7CDT. This creates a file stamped exactly one
hour ago that find can use as a reference.
An alternative would be to write something in perl or your programming
language of choice.

Use xargs, since it will buy you the extra feature of being able to
search through arbitrarily large numbers of files:
for _word in ${BAD_KEYWORDS} ;do
find . | grep -v '^/00' |\
xargs grep ${_word} /dev/null
done
Tips:
- The quotes in ${_word} are probably optional, but it's better to
be safe than sorry :-)
- The /dev/null is there so that grep will get at least 2 file
arguments, even if there is just one file in the current directory,
effectively forcing grep(1) to print the filename of this one file
if it happens to match the pattern.
Cool, I think I get it for the most part. However, what exactly am I
doing when I am piping to xargs? I can see that the filenames not
starting with '00' will be piped, but what does the '\' do? Sorry, I am
really new to scripting and *nix in general. But I am a programmer so I
learn fast.

Installed new kernel and then make buildworld and now no internet?
Hello. I just added a couple of config attributes to my make.conf, namely this (I think this is close): CPU-TYPE = athlon-xp CFLAGS = -0 -pipe COPTFLAGS = -0 -pipe Then I did a make buildkernel and make installkernel. I then rebooted into single user mode and did a make buildworld. Then I restarted and now I have no internet. I can't get any pages to come up in firefox or dillo. I tried pinging www.yahoo.com and I got 69% packet loss. Also, when I try to do portupgrade -ap to reinstall all of my ports, it can't connect to download the distfiles. What can I do to fix this?

Do it in the right order. You want a new kernel build to use the code produced by the buildworld. Now, you have a user land from one buildworld and a kernel from the previous one. Processes such a top may not even work in your environment. Yeah, I went back and did it exactly as it said in the handbook, now I have 100% packet loss. Any clue what would cause this? Thanks for the help /Brian You boot to single user mode to test the new kernel and stop all of the competing processes.

Can someone help me figure out how to do this? For the purpose of this discussion, the 'server' is the remote system the one you are ssh-ing to. The 'client' is the one you are ssh-ing from. 1)Before you leave, go to the server and logon at the console so that you have X running. Make a note of the 'DISPLAY' variable setting. Probably :0.0. $ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 Do NOT log out. 2)Use SSH to connect to the server as the same user that logged on. 3)Set the DISPLAY variable to the one indicated in step 1. $ export DISPLAY=:0.0 4)Run the command you want (with nohup and in the background. $ nohup xterm -sb That will run the command so that output is displayed on the server console and let you log out of your ssh session. If you want to learn more, you should read up on the xauth command. Also, try to understand X toolkit basics. Why do you want to do this anyway? The reason that I want to do this is because I have a GUI app that basically just sits and runs and doesn't need any interaction that I want to be able to start and stop remotely. I'm trying to test some different command line options with it to see if it will run. Basically as long as it keeps running I am ok.

Is there any hope that I will be able to get this printer to work as well (and easy) as it works in Windows? I'll try. :-) You should start with the apsfilter handbook, chapter 4. Read this carefully before starting setup. Start the setup utility with '/usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP' (without the '') as root. The spool directory is probably somewhere in /var/spool/lpd. (I can't see here, I use CUPS instead of the standard lpr). IIRC, if you give the printer a name, (e.g. deskjet710), the spool directory should be /var/spool/lpd/deskjet710. The apsfilter manual mentions ppa printers, so I assume it's in the list that SETUP presents to you. I can't remember if apsfilter actually writes /etc/printcap for you, but I think so. You'll also need §9.3 of the FreeBSD handbook. Let me know how it works out, or if you have problems. Good luck, Roland Ok, I tried this and I'm still having problems.

trouble printing
Hello, I tried this question on the newbies list first but didn't get a response so I'm trying here. I am having trouble printing from my HP Deskjet 710C printer. It is hooked up via parallel port and I can print fine with it from Windows. However, I can't get it to work in FreeBSD. I followed the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html Everything seems to be fine. But when I try to test the printer using a command similar to this: # cat file /dev/lptN or this: lptest /dev/lpt0 nothing happens. Does anyone have a clue what I might have done wrong?

This is the right list for questions. I am having trouble printing from my HP Deskjet 710C printer. It is hooked up via parallel port and I can print fine with it from Windows. However, I can't get it to work in FreeBSD. I followed the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html Arg. The Deskjet 710C is one of those stupid printers without it's own processor. You need a special program to convert print data into ppa format, which is the only format it understands. See: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_710C Everything seems to be fine. But when I try to test the printer using a command similar to this: # cat file /dev/lptN Don't do this. Always work via the spooler. See below. or this: lptest /dev/lpt0 lptest just prints plain text. Your printer doesn't understand that. It uses the host CPU for processing the print data: From http://pnm2ppa.sourceforge.net/: PPA (Printing Performance Architecture) is a closed, proprietary protocol developed by Hewlett Packard for a short-lived series of DeskJet printers. In essence, the PPA protocol moves the low-level processing of the data to the host computer rather than the printer. This allows for a low-cost (to produce) printer with a small amount of memory and computing power. However, in practice the printer was often as expensive as more capable printers and HP has since discontinued the use of PPA in favour of returning to PCL3e in their latest USB-based printers. nothing happens. Does anyone have a clue what I might have done wrong? You need a special driver to talk to this printer. It is called pnm2ppa and you can find it in ports. More info on adriver for this printer can be found at: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=pnm2ppafromprinter=HP-DeskJet_710C If you want the printer to handle different file formats transparently, you should install a print filter like apsfilter. You should program apsfilter to output stuff in pnm format, which should then be piped through pnm2ppa and then to the spooler. I know this sounds complicated, and that's because these printers suck. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to get them working. In short, what has to happen for each print job is: 1) Convert the file format to pnm. This is where apsfilter comes in, unless you want to do it by hand every time. 2) The output from apsfilter should be fed to pnm2ppa, using the unix mechanism called a pipe. The apsfilter manual has info on how to set this up. I haven't used apsfilter in a lng time. 3) The output from pnm2ppa is fed to the spooler, which sends it to the printer. By installing apsfilter and pnm2ppa you can make this process automatic. Hope this helps. Roland Ok, I installed apsfilter and pnm2ppa. I've been looking on the net and I'm starting to get overwhelmed in documentation. Could you at least help me get started setting this up? Is there any hope that I will be able to get this printer to work as well (and easy) as it works in Windows?

When I try to mount it I get this: # mount /hd2_4 fstab: /etc/fstab:12: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:12: Inappropriate file type or format mount: /hd2_4: unknown special file or file system Here is my fstab file: # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1 /windowsntfsro 2 0 /dev/ad0s2b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s2e /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s2f /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s2d /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s3 /shared msdosfs rw 0 0 /dev/ad1s1 /hd2_1 msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/ad1s5 /hd2_2 ntfsro,noauto 2 0 /dev/ad1s6 /hd2_3 ntfsro,noauto 2 0 /dev/ad1s7 /hd2_4 ntfsro.noauto 0 0 /dev/ad1s8 /hd2_5 ntfsro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd0 /dvdcd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd1 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0/floppy msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 If I put a little 'xx,' before 'ro' on the /dev/ad1s7 line, then I get this message: # mount /hd2_4 mount: /hd2_4: unknown special file or file system A little bit better, but it still doesn't work. I can mount my other ntfs partitions on that drive just fine. I've tried playing around with fstab quite a bit, but to no avail. Any clue how I can get this drive to mount? One thing that my be worth noting is that I have hidden and unhidden this particular partition before using partition magic in windows, could that have anything to do with it?

which bittorrent client
Hello, I would like some advice on which Bittorrent client to use. I really like Azureus, but I always get OutOfMemoryException's and it takes up like 300 MB of memory sometimes.

I leave my home computer on all day and transfer and share files via a P2P application. However, sometimes I like to ssh in from work and transfer files between my work PC and my home PC via scp. Right now it is really slow because it is transferring so much with the P2P apps, that it uses up all of my bandwidth. Is there any way that I can put a priority on this so that it gives me the majority of my bandwidth when I want to use scp? The first thing I'd do is throttle the upload on your p2p program, so you don't eat all your b/w. You don't mention which p2p it is, but amule let's you do it and some BitTorrent clients have the option too. Then you could use QoS, either using IPFW or PF. With PF I'd prioritize empty ACKs and then create a queue for ssh with guaranteed b/w. There are plenty of PF tutorials and FAQs out there with examples. Daniel's page has a lot of info on PF (http://www.benzedrine.cx/pf.html). Note that PF is a FreeBSD 5.x-only feature. It's been ported to NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD as well, and it's part of OpenBSD. Cheers, Ok, I got pf setup. However, now I need to add ALTQ support to the kernel somehow? Is that right? If so, how can I do this?

How to setup DVD, CD and Floppy Drives
