some ftp mirrors is wrong or inconsistently
Hello maillist
Some ftp servers from official ftp mirrors

For example, test scripts ( require ftp/lftp ) says that only 90 from 167 ;)

Re: Why FreeBSD not popular on hardware vendors
BTW on the http://forums.freebsd.org number of multimedia-related questions is more than server-side ;) And this is fact - FreeBSD become to Desktop due to work of many peoples who porting multimedia application to FreeBSD. Therefore this functional be want. But without good supports of hardware device this job come to nothing.

What you are referring to is that it meets your criteria. Everyone's work platform might not be so narrow. ometimes, actual work may be entertainment, gaming, or programming obscure hardware platforms. :-) I use FreeBSD for may things; however, it is by no means a perfect system. There are just too many things that either don't work, or don't work well. I may say this: At home, I'm using FreeBSD exclusively since approx. 2000 (at least since release 4.0). Here everything worked without any (!) problems, no need for problem reports. At work, FreeBSD and Solaris are present. For some fields of use, I would not FreeBSD instead of Solaris. However, I found no operating system that could replace FreeBSD in the fields where I use it. As in many other topics, this is only my very individual point of view. I do see FreeBSD's problems in most cases where hardware support isn't up to date, but that's mainly a thing of the hardware manufactureres that (a) build black boxes or (b) do not use existing standards, so accessing their hardware is a problem. Other problems are usual entertainment stuff that seems to hook that deeply into the operating system that it leads into problems - yes, I'm talking about Flash especially. Hardware vendors are mostly interested in operating systems that already have a huge market share. Allthough FreeBSD is a very professional OS and has a growing usage share, its market share isn't that big, so it is considered to be unimportant. Furthermore, FreeBSD is considered to be an OS for servers, allthough it scales very well from desktops over mixed forms to servers. And servers usually don't contain bleeding edge GPUs and strange WLAN USB sticks, so that's why the support isn't that good. Personally, I'd prefer an OS that supports a narrow subset of hardware excellently and efficiently instead of an OS that claims to support everything, supports most things poorly and through binary blobs where you can't be sure what it actually does. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Why FreeBSD not popular on hardware vendors
Also you can use portupgrade -PP -PP --use-packages-onlyNever use the port even if a package is not avail- able either locally or remotely, although you still have to keep your ports tree up-to-date so that portupgrade can check out what the latest version of each port is. In in some cases re-compiling it better then package usage. For example you may wish for GnomeVFS support by OO, or drop GNOME support and KDE support instead. This function sets in configure by program author and when you working with ports you can play this options On Thursday 11 December 2008 18:23:04 Julien Cigar wrote: that this is a well known bug that require some rearchitecting and that a proper umount has always been the way to umount a drive, but, honestly, you cannot seriously convince someone to use FreeBSD with things like this ... - Altough ports are fantastic, building things like OpenOffice or ... is just inhuman, especially when you cannot use -j for building ports (but it's being resolved I think). Of course there are packages, but it's far less friendly to use (and manage) than apt-get/dpkg. you may pkg_add from ftp repository of course .. too bad that there is no pkg_upgrade ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
source data for host CPU temperature
Hello maillist, Whether there is a unique, a general method of fetching of statistics on CPU temperature in FreeBSD. The general method - is available in view of excluding vendor-specific healh-agents with their vendors lock-in API. As i know some way for this: smb(4) (for old PC?), coretemp(4) (this is for new and only Intel hardware ?) and ipmi(4) if available, so each machine customize for temp statistics throuch individual setup for source data? And it is necessary to prefer what data if it is some given. For example 2 commands on host give diffrent result: (With 'ipmitool sensor |grep -i temp) -- Ambient Temp | 26.000 | degrees C | ok| na| na| na| 32.000| na| 39.000 CPU 1 Temp | na | degrees C | na| na| 74.000| -128.000 | -48.000 | na| na CPU 2 Temp | na | degrees C | na| na| 74.000| -128.000 | -48.000 | na| na CPU 1 OverTemp | 0x0| discrete | 0x0080| na| na| na| na| na| na CPU 2 OverTemp | 0x0| discrete | 0x0080| na| na| na| na| na| na -- i get 74C on my CPU1 and CPU2 (with coretemp(4) i get individual per-core sensor) % sysctl -a |egrep -E cpu\.[0-9]+\.temp dev.cpu.0.temperature: 38 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 45 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 42 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 69 ipmi/coretemp facility is fetching information for CPU from diffrent sensors? And how much correctly with coretemp(4) to receive the general temperature (one number as in Bios) if average(sum(core temperature)) / (num of core) ?
