Problem with wireless network.

2008-11-29 Thread Christopher Joyner
On my windows OS I can connect to the router, and also get DHCP service.
On the same computer, running FreeBSD 7.0 It will not get DHCP service.
Sometimes it will connect to the router, but does not get DHCP service.
Then it will not connect anymore.

This same computer, using the same FreeBSD used to connect to the interent,
and I could go surfing.  Now it only times out.  I have a fresh install of
FreeBSD 7.0, and can not solve this problem.

Thanks for your help.

Wine security question...

2008-08-28 Thread Christopher Joyner
Is it possible to use wine in a secure way?  I had a warning about it after 
installing it from the ports.  So I was wondering if it's possible to limit it 
to a certain area.  Like a sandbox?

Problem in FreeBSD 7.x, in Xorg switching consoles.

2008-08-28 Thread Christopher Joyner
When I switch from my Xorg running KDE, for some reason it pushes a string as 
keypresses to the KDE.  I do not know if it's on return, or on exit.

Here is my setup! 
On tty3 is my Xorg KDE desktop.  On tty8 is a getty login.  
I use alt+ctrl+f8 to enter the login screen on tty8.
I then switch back by using alt+ctrl+f3, and enter the KDE desktop.

But then for some reason something crazy happens.  If i was using the konqueror 
web browser, the address would get replaced and it would go to a bogus website.

 
So I decided to put up a blank text pad in kedit to see what happens.
What I get is a url string is pushed to the pad.  
I believe this happens when coming back to the Desktop KDE.

I do not get the OK from beep, and flash crashes the program.
This is my code:

alogg problem! I was in the middle of writing a game on Windows, but now I am using FreeBSD...

2008-08-27 Thread Christopher Joyner
I was writing a game in Windows using allegro.  Now that I no longer have 
windows, I need a solution to the alogg library.  It does not seem to be ported 
on FreeBSD.
allegro should be find, but my problem is replacing, or getting alogg for 
FreeBSD.
alogg is a library add-on to allegro, for playing .ogg files.

Thank you,

Possible hardware damaging bug with halt/reboot!

2008-08-26 Thread Christopher Joyner
I think this thing could break my fan if I left it running.
The fan gets fast, really fast.  Sounds like it's running faster than it can 
handle.

This is using the halt command, during the message that say's,
HALTED, PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT.  (not actual message)

I am still looking in the source code hunting for this.
I decided it was best to report now.

I have not seen the loop, but adding sleep(1) in the halt loop, such as a while 
loop,
I think that would make it easier on the cpu.  However I do not know how it 
works, because I have not seen that source code.

Binary Downloads: Security Questions and problem.

2008-08-26 Thread Christopher Joyner
When using FreeBSD, I cannot browse the internet because I keep getting binary 
files instead of the url.
These binary files are 588k in size, I think they are viruses, which also means 
my LAN is infected with some stuff.
The binary file names seem to have random names, because they are new each time.

Am I correct?  Is this a security problem?

Xorg.0.log over running...

When running Kde3, my xorg.0.log file just keeps filling up until
there is no more disk space on /var.

It keeps writing this line: (==) VESA(0): Write-combining range
(0x0,0x1000) was already clear
This goes on until there is no more space in /var.

Is there a way I can supress these messages, or maybe fix the problem?

Security problems, I think I have a hacker attacker.

2008-08-24 Thread Christopher Joyner
I think someone is attempting to get into my system.

Here is my details:  There are 2 login failuers on ttyv0,
And also 2 login failers on ttyv0 root.

I did not try login in on that terminal.  Are they able to try to do it away
from my computer, from a remote location?

Can someone tell me how to turn off the broadcast option for my lan, if it's
possible.  I think a server named chill is attacking me.

Re: Is it possible to run i386 only, on a amd64 freebsd 7?

2008-08-19 Thread Christopher Joyner
Sean Cavanaugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
> he was asking about ports that are labled as "i386 only"

"Well, he didn't mention building ports.  He only said
*running* i386 software on amd64, which is certainly
possible.

Whether "i386 only" packages will run on amd64 depends
on the reason why they're marked as such.  If they
contain kernel code (such as the nvidia binary driver),
then it won't work.  Otherwise it should work.

However, it is important to know that i386 binaries can
only be linked with i386 libraries.  So if you need to
run an third-party i386 binary that requires a third-
party library, then that library must be i386, too.

Best regards
   Oliver"


O.K I understand that.  So I can see that unless I have an i386 FreeBSD build, 
I really cannot
install those i386 only software titles.

In that situation I assume I can only use amd64 ports and software. 

I have an idea though, would it be possible to build a i386 FreeBSD on an 
another partition.  And use it to run i386 software while using the amd64 
FreeBSD?

"You didn't mention that you want to build a i386-only port.
The easiest way to circumvent that restriction is to down-
load the i386 package of that port and install it.

Whether you can make that work depends on what kind of port
it is.

If you tell us *what* software you're actualy trying to
install, we might be able to provide further assistance.

O.K. the software I want to install is wine.
Another one I want to install is zsnes or snes9x.
I have attempted to install it from source, and also the ports.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was wanting to install i386 only software on 
my amd64 FreeBSD build.
Not run i386 code on amd64.

Here is details about my system:
I am using a PentiumD 2.6 in dual core mode.
I have a old old pci vga display.  (might upgrade very soon, expecting some new 
hardware.)
A sblive sound card.
