Audio CD burning shouldnt be this difficult!

2004-07-21 Thread Edd

Audio CD burning shouldnt be this difficult! I think I have fundamentally
gone wrong here!

I have eight raw tracks that I wish to burn to ATAPI cd. I am using
burncd.

First I did:

burncd -s max audio * fixate

However I got gaps inbetween tracks so i tried:

burncd -s max -d -n audio * fixate

There are now no gaps, but track markers are in the wrong place (perhaps
4 or 5 seconds out in some cases)

What am i doing wrong? I dont want to have to use a windows box to do
this.

Thanks

Whenever I burn an audio cd using burncd, the tracks have a 3 second gap
between them. Is there a way of removing these?

Utility to guess a remote hosts operating system?

2004-06-23 Thread Edd

My question is:

Does such a utility exist? I know nmap can guess os, but it takes a few
seconds and a port scan is needed first. Is there just a simply util
that can tell me without the port scan?

Encoding MPEG2 using open source software

2004-06-21 Thread Edd

Hi there,
Maybe the question I am asking is how do I burn a dvd using open source.
But I know that dvd's ar encoded in MPEG2. Apparently  ffmpeg can
encode mpeg2, but I havent been able to get mencoder (compiled against
ffmpeg) to work for me. Anyone have any tips?

Hi,
I have recently required a USB modem (56k). On the casing it says it is a:

Plug in and dmesg says:
ugen0: Conexant USB modemInc. USB V.90 56k/FAX Modem erface,

So far so good. So i scoot over to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and type in

Then do a :

Nothing happens and dmesg now says: ugenpoll: no edesc

I must be doing something wrong!

2004-06-09 Thread Edd

Hi there.

I am having trouble using CURRENT code. Im sure I must be making a
fundamental mistake becasue every time I try to compile I get errors.

Ill step you through what I have done:

here is my cvsup file:
*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup4.uk.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

src-all

ran cvsup on it. worked fine. I also used a refuse file to ignore foreign
stuff as explained in the handbook.

Next:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld (runs ok)

Now I copy the GENERIC kernel config to HITBOX and edit arch settings and
ident.

make buildkenel KERNCONF=HITBOX

It compiles away for about 10 minutes then returns a savage error:

/usr/src/sys/geom/geom_io.c: In function `g_io_request':
/usr/src/sys/geom/geom_io.c:283: structure has no member named `wentbusy'

I have no idea where to go from here.
I have had similar errors when using code checked out from regular cvs
co. So its not my source (i dont think).

The OS I am running is 5.2.1-RELEASE on an x86 machine.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help.

Thankyou!

It is a well known bug to do with OSS in the base of the FreeBSD dist
that stops it compiling. There is a range of OSVERSIONS that the port
will not compile on listed in the Makefile. Therefore I have not got as
far as compiling , so i cannot show an error. Well apart from that the
port tells me 'it will not compile so dont even bother trying'.

Please explain proflibs. How might I disable them.

 Can you just catch the tree at a bad time when it will not compile?

Yes, it's not unusual at all with -CURRENT.

If you're going to run -CURRENT, you should subscribe to the -CURRENT mailing
list.  There's usually heads-ups called if someone expects to break the tree,
and usually a lot of discussion when the tree is broken.

If lurking on the -CURRENT list for a while doesn't reveal the nature of the
problem, post the errors you're getting to -CURRENT, and I'm sure someone will
have reasonable advice for you.  It also wouldn't be unusual if the breakage is
already fixed and you just need to cvsup again.

Good luck.

Re: Apache-MySQL-PHP from ports

2004-06-09 Thread Edd

I sure that most of this can be done by setting environmental variables.
Also the PHP port presents you with a pretty screen allowing you to
choose waht to build in. Maybe apache does this too, but I havent
compiled it in a while and cant remember. Best thing you can do is
examine the Makefiles.

Good Luck!

Hi all,

TO this point, I have been installing everything from source. Starting with
the new servers, which I am working on now, I would like to do as much as
possible from ports.

I have mysql installed correctly.

I need now to install PHP and Apache.

The source type install would require to run ./configure with a few options,
then back to the PHP source dir, run ./configure with a few options, make,
make install, then back to the apache dir, re ./configure, make, make
install, etc etc.

Since ports have patches and some Makefile options set, is it permissable to
go to the Apache or PHP port dir, run the make, then rerun ./configure so as
to emulate the steps above?

Eventually, When it becomes time to comile apache, I will need to add the
FrontPage patch as well. All this considered, woould I be better to keep
installing all from source, or still try to stick to the ports method?

Questions about -current should go to the freebsd-current mailing list.

I'm not sure why you'd see this error, unless perhaps you didn't have
a complete and up-to-date source tree.  How did you check it out?

That directory should be listed in /usr/src/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist,
from a commit made on May 20.

and all of my other files did return to my sandbox, but I just can not
commit them. Due to up-to-date check. I have tried forcing with -f, but
still it wont have it.

Please could someone help me out of this sticky situation?

Thanks!

Re: Ive really broken my cvs repository!

any harm does anyone know?

cvs export -P?

2004-05-26 Thread Edd

Hi there,
I wish to know how to export from cvs and prune empty directories. I know
a co can be done and pruned by:

cvs co -rSOMETAG -P module

but:

cvs export -rSOMETAG -P module

only show me the usage help even though I have read in may places that -P
does infact apply with export too.

Thanks!

Security run question

2004-05-25 Thread Edd

I recieved my security run today (as usual) and an error which I have
never seen before appeared:

hitbox.monsternet.lan kernel log messages:
 tabase /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory

A quick locate shows that there is no such command as tabase! Any ideas
what this might be?

Postfix being stubborn

2004-05-21 Thread Edd

Hi there,
I have installed and used postfix many a time with minimal fuss, but this
time for some reasona all of my mail just gets stuck:

hitbox# mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- Arrival Time -Sender/Recipient---
E76C639821* 331 Fri May 21 13:20:15  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

5C0D339824* 334 Fri May 21 13:20:32  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It will quite happily do this all day. The daemon is running. I have
tried deinstalling and removing all configuration files and the postfix
user and recompiling. Still no luck. Also postix is enabled in
/etc/mail/mailer.conf. Im going insane! why oh why?!

Ardour Compile on 4.10-RC3

2004-05-21 Thread Edd

Hello again,
I was trying to compile ardour (manually (no port)), I have jack
installed using portaudio. Whilst doing configure, ardour asks for POSIX
threading and fails! surely FreeBSD has this feature. if not, which
thread lib do you suggest (there are many in devel).

Thanks!

Postfix possibly ignoring myhostname and mydomainname?

2004-05-20 Thread Edd

Hi,
I want postfix to send email from a domain name different to the one that
it really is. This is because I have no real (as in on the net) domain
associated with it, so I am going to use my website address so that the
from field resolves and relays are happy to pass on my mail.

I have:

set myhostname to:
hitbox.arameus.net

set mydomainname to:
arameus.net

and added this line:
masquerade_domains=hitbox.arameus.net

So my theory is that postfix will send from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

then restarted postfix. (postfix reload).
A quick 'postconf -d | grep my' reveals that postfix is infact ignoring
completely the value I have given it! why so?

Sorry if this is a really obvoius mistake, but I am new to mail server
administration, and I have checked the documentation and FreeBSD
mailinglist without luck.

Someone has suggested relaying between these two domains, so I added
relay_domains = arameus.net

Still no luck Im afraid.

Thanks all!

SMBFS and vfs.usermount. BUG??

2004-02-10 Thread Edd Barrett
Hi there. I think i may have discovered a bug in free bsd 5.2-RELEASE, it
may be in earlier versions too, but I have not tried it (maybe someone
running 4.x could try it)

I have made an fstab entry and nsmbrc file for a smb share. vfs.usermount is
set to 1.
A normal user (me in this case (edd)) can mount a cdrom drive (on a dir
owned by him):

mount /home/edd/cdrom
umount /home/edd/cdrom

this returns no errors and proves that vfs.usermount is working for cd9660
fs.

mount /home/edd/rhome

works fine... but

umount /home/edd/rhome

does NOT work. (permission denied) Is this a bug or am I being dumb?

Thanks!

SMB share unmount : was cdrom unmount (oops)

2004-02-07 Thread Edd Barrett
It appears that the mount that I cant unmount was not actually the cdrom, but 
my remote home dir which is a samba share on another freebsd box.

bash-2.05b$ mount /home/edd/cdrom
bash-2.05b$ umount /home/edd/cdrom
bash-2.05b$ mount /home/edd/rhome
bash-2.05b$ umount /home/edd/rhome
umount: unmount of /home/edd/rhome failed: Operation not permitted

I am in wheel. my fstab is as follows:

desktop freebsd??

2004-02-06 Thread Edd Barrett
Hi all,
I have been using freebsd for my web/database/music server for a while and
it has performed flawlessly. good good! However recently I installed freebsd
on my desktop too. I can do the things I want to, it just seems that i need
to be root to do a lot of things. If I didnt have root, I would be screwed.

One point I find annoying is that I cant workout how a normal user can
unmount a fs. I have created ~/cdrom and put an fstab entry in for it. The
device is /dev/acd0 (777 for now). vfs.usermount=1. I can mount the share,
but not unmount it. For now I have chmod +s /sbin/umount. This is bad and i
wouldnt appreciate a normal user unmounting my hard disks. What is the
proper way?? My version is 5.2-release.

Also is there any guides online that tell you how freebsd can be configured
as a desktop machine?

Thanks

Howto umount a cdrom as non-root?

2004-02-06 Thread Edd Barrett
I have used vfs.usermount=1 to allow users to mount the cdrom in a dir in
thier home dir. What is the most proper and secure method of doing so. If
possible without the use of sudo or chmod +s.

Kdm at boot

2004-02-06 Thread Edd Barrett
What is the correct way of starting kdm at boot? I have tried echo
/usr/local/bin/kdm  /etc/rc.local , but this causes the system to hang.
kdm works fine if executed on a root shell. Someone told me to do a wait 5
 kdm, but i see this as a bodge.

 If the users can mount the disk, they should be able to umount it as
 well.  [I just checked; it works for me, on both -STABLE and
 -CURRENT.]  This is not occurring on your system?  What version?  What
 *does* happen when the user tries the umount?
