Now I can play my CDs through my 5.1 system, but I had to install both OSS and eSound to do it. I think the idea is everything goes to eSound, which is piped through the OSS mixer. My sound device now identifies [on FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE] as: uaudio0: vendor 0x0c45 USB Audio, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 uaudio0: audio rev 1.00 pcm0: USB Audio on uaudio0 Yes, great thanks Adam! For the records: As you said I have installed audio/oss and audio/esound. I couldn't start snd_uaudio at runtime, so I put snd_uaudio_load=YES into /boot/loader.conf and rebooted. After that everything worked fine. On my FreeBSD 7.0 I can even see /dev/dsp and when I do a # cat /dev/sndstat I get FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2007061600/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: USB Audio at ? kld snd_uaudio [GIANT] (1p:1v/1r:1v channels duplex default) mode 1:(output) 8ch, 16/16bit, pcm, 44100,48000Hz mode 2:(output) 2ch, 16/16bit, pcm, 44100,48000Hz mode 3:(output) 4ch, 16/16bit, pcm, 44100,48000Hz mode 4:(output) 6ch, 16/16bit, pcm, 44100,48000Hz mode 5:(output) 2ch, 16/16bit, pcm, 48000Hz mode 1:(input) 2ch, 16/16bit, pcm, 44100,48000Hz That's it!

A FASL file is a compiled lisp file. If you check in that folder there will probably be another file there with the same name and the extension .lisp instead. There is no need to have a fasl file, the lisp system can load and compile the .lisp files as needed. If you feel like speed up the load process you can of course compile those files. Note that for the files to be saved you must have write permission in that folder, so the easiest way might be to start sbcl as root and then it will load and compile the files to FASL. Next time you start sbcl the lisp will load the compiled files.

I am basically ready but the more I think about it, the more worried I am. That is - for content filtering to work without bypassing it, I will need to put the machine in front of my wireless router, won't I? I am going to do some reading on tightening FreeBSD security and closing ports/services I do not need. My question is more general, though, I would simply like to know if there's any simple way to put the box behind a router and sitll be able to do transparent proxying of requests originating from my LAN? Yes: generally spoken: a gateway/proxy is what you tell your client machines to use as a gateway/proxy. You can just set it anywhere in your network and make it suck its data from your router. Transparent proxying might be a bit difficult to set up at times but you can start with an ordinary cache-proxy (called by requests on port 8080 or something). As long as your kids don't have admin rights on their workstations, they won't be able to change it. By the way: blocking single addresses or even some expressions won't keep anyone from watching bad pages - all one needs is google and some patience. But of course you can use squid's log files to control what your kids really did. So - sorry for adding educational hints - talk to your children first and explain the meaning of the word trust to them. When they really believe they have to deceive you, they probably will be able to live without a computer for some time. Sorry, this really was off topic. Regards, Uli.

Future development of xorg port
Hi, since now we all did/are doing our monster xorg port upgrade, I wonder how the future development of xorg is planned. - Will we permanently receive small upgrades of xorg modules by tracking -STABLE ? - Will there be kind of an xorg-devel port? - Or do we wait for the next big complete upgrade to 7.3 ?

Being that this is more of a support mailing list, if one could direct me to where I can ask this question appropriately, or if folks would reply only to my email addy, that would be fine, too. Impositions here are not my intent. I have been an avid user of the BSDs (mostly FreeBSD and OpenBSD), and have experimented with the Linuses for a good while now (Mainly Debian, RH, and SuSe). I pretty much get it that the BSD folks and the Linux folks don't see eye-to-eye on licensing issues, but it seems to me that the overall attempt of both communities seems to be get the code out there and keep it free. I was just wondering what the general consensus was on the GPL, Linux in general, SCOs lawsuit, Sun's open sourcing, IBMs contributions to Linux, Novell's contributions, Novell's deal with MS and how this really affects SuSe (there's a lot of hype on that and I literally don't know what to believe at this point). Being that most folks here would be in positions of having to deal with a variety of OSs and have in the past dealt with opposing forces at work, I figured there would be at least one or two educated folks I could gleen from. Thanks, and sorry for the imposition, Mike PS... One more question... Being that Linux emulation is available as a port for the BSDs, I would assume (but haven't taken the time to research) that GPLd code is used. If there comes to be issues with Linux, what would that mean for BSDs compatibility in regards to emulation? I think there's a list called freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org for non-technical discussions.

From what I gather you seem to have a broken server and want to rescue some files from it to a freshly setup one. If this is the case, I would take a screw driver, fetch the hard disk from the old box, plug it into the new one and mount it somewhere on your new filesystem. Or I got it all wrong, in this case please do excuse my interference. Regards, Uli. -Grant - Original Message - From: Peter A.

Has the behavior changed? It was my understanding that files with *.sh or no

This has changed one or to months ago - somebody posted it on

By about what seems 3/4 the way through, my hdd is full and theres no way this option is open to me. I have tried copying all the packages across from FreeBSD 6 cd 2 across to my hdd but the 'make' command doesnt work, which im guessing is due to the fact there is no .tar.gz file to build from? My question is, how can I install this GUI, or will it be easier to install an alternative with less graphics and tag along programs? You should try a smaller GUI - especially if aou are running an older system - let's say 300 MHz and 128 MB RAM - neither gnome nor KDE will be much fun then. WindowMaker might be a nice alternative. I'm essentially getting a GUI going due to the fact I'm new to Unix as a whole and would be good to assist learning of the OS and the shell. Due to this, something like a windows clone Gnome or KDE may be good, but I'm just as willing to have to learn to use a good GUI that isnt windows clone. Good Luck, Uli.

I'd have thought that too, so I'm doing something insanely stupid. I can print to my other HP printer, but it understands .ps natively. If the answer to printing from gimp is 'just print a .ps' then I'm happy. Once you have setup cups correctly you can simply type # lpr your_image.jpg and it will be printed out. I can print test pages with the CUPS interface w/o a problem. I'll try directly printing a simple color PS document next. I just realized that I haven't tried to do that yet. There might be a very simple reason for your problems: Cups' lpr program lives in /usr/local/bin/lpr and thus will be shadowed by FreeBSD's native /usr/bin/lpr . Try something like # /usr/local/bin/lpr your_image.jpg If that works we will have to set some links and everything will be fine.

Who are you guys? I installed Ubuntu as my very first open source OS last Aug. Since then I've installed it on 5 computers and now FreeBSD on 2 computers. From a beginners viewpoint I find both installers pretty comparable and actually quite similar.

duplex printing with hpijs ???
Hi, for quite a long time my HP Deskjet 990 Cxi worked quite perfectly with Cups and hpijs driver from ports. For some weeks now duplex printing is defect, i.e. - printer fetches a sheet - prints out first page - turns it round - prints nothing on the back - fetches a second sheet - prints out second page. Has anybody else seen this strange behaviour? What might have happened? Duplex printing still works fine from a remote WinXP and a Debian Linux machine. I am running 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Fri Mar 3 20:00:30 CET 2006 . Thanks for your answers.

On Wed, 1 Mar 2006, Steel City Phantom wrote: I have followed every howto i can find on getting printing to work with cups. i finally gave up and plugged the printer into my windows machine and shared it there. now, my wife's Linspire machine can see it and print fine (Linspire uses kde 3.4, cups, samba share). Now my fresh new bsd 6 machine can't see the same smb share. I go add printer, SMB Shared Printer, put in the user administrator and password, click on the refresh to see all the workgroups, workgroup shows fine, open the windows server workgroup and no server. i go to a command prompt and do a smbclient -U bla -L server and i see a list of all shares, including the hidden ones and the printer i wish to print to. If i type the information in manually, then it adds the printer to cups but shows the status as stopped. I have tried every combination of this i can think of, nothing seems to work. you guys have any ideas? Yes, two: 1) You could buy one of these small ready-to-use printer servers (20 - 30 EUR around here). They will serve each computer seperately via network and - you don't need to have a whole computer up and running. 2) Most people don't know Cups can work as a printer server without the help of Samba. If you were able to set up Cups on one machine (either FreeBSD or Linux) it could serve the others (even Windows) via network.

Re: Upgrade 5.4 to 6.0

On the other hand: doing an upgrade from source might be a good exercise.

Has anybody else seen this? Yes. I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on a PII 300MHz with 64MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive. It works great until I run portupgrade on mysql-server. Then it runs out of swap space and I get console error messages and have to reboot. I haven't dug into it yet, but several months ago I redirected the swap file to a different location to increase the size. I'll have to do some research to find out exactly what I did and how much space I gave it and how to increase it. I haven't had time yet to do it. Don't know why building mysql-* (and possibly some others) takes so much swap space. I first encountered it running portmanager -u and didn't realize for a couple of days (and four or five freeze-ups) what was happening. This really has become more dramatic: Usually - when I run a portupgrade - about half of my RAM is used and I can still work on my Gnome desktop without any swapping or serious performance losses. Now every port produces this Max recursion message and applications become unusable.

Ive been using KDE since Ive started using freeBSD and it like it. But I have recently looked at ubuntus distro, which uses gnome (their version I assume) and it was very nice. So, stuff like font rendering etc. Which is, in your experience, prettier so to speak, to use? Applications and so on. The gnome project page seems to be lacking version screenshots, or at least I couldnt find them. Any feedback greatly appreciated. This is a difficult question to answer since it really is a matter of taste what kind of look you prefer. And don't forget you can change the look and design of your gnome or kde desktop completely to accroding to your needs and wishes. What I really can say - since I am using gnome for everyday's work for some years now - Gnome has greatly improved stability, perfomance and usability since old times of 2.6 or 2.8 . 2.12 is a fast and reliable working enviroment. If you can afford the bandwith and the diskspace you should install both and compare yourself. Thanks for the reply. Ive installed gnome, having some problems running it and didnt get a chance to tackle it last night, but I will later. I guess I was just wondering whether the guys at ubuntu have just done a really nice job with gnome, or is this how it looks. The fonts seemed smoother and window dragging wasnt jerky at all, even though it was running from a cd. But I will compare and see what its like.
