I can get them to work with things like apsfilter very well, but either someone is going to have to fix the Cups port (it builds, but nothing locally runs) or stop recommending it. Or, does anyone else have it working on FreeBSD? Sure would like to hear about it, but I've been trying for a long time now, with no success. FWIW I had cups working (2 USB and 1 parellel) forever on three separate FreeBSD systems until last fall sometime. It had stopped working on each of them after an upgrade that I have long since forgot. After going through all of the removals and reinstalls, I compared what was installed on these systems with a Linux box that cups worked on. I found that I needed the /print/foomatic-db and /print/foomatic-de-engine ports. After I installed these two ports cups is working fine on my FreeBSD systems.

Gnash crash
Aloha With all the noise on this list with regards to Flash and others, I decided to try gnash once again. Previously gnash would cause the processor occupancy to max out on whichever machine I tried it on. I don not care to run any Linux emulation on my systems. It is just a personal thing. I run FreeBSD and feel that is being polluted if I have to emulate any other OS. I have just ignored sites that required the use of flash. So, on to today's problem.

Fame at last! Oh, you've been famous for a while here. :-) I've been reading the man pages for du and df, but I can't find the right combination. I'd like to get the type of output that df -h gives you but only for one mount point or even one directory. Is there a tool that can do that? (IOW, I'd like to run du -h but only get the totals for directories.) Well, for a mount point, the command that will give you output like 'df -h' for a specific partition is (*ta da*) 'df -h' -- tell it a file or directory and it will tell you all about the partition that lives on: % df -h /tmp FilesystemSizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md0 248M 22K228M 0%/tmp This only returns the totals for mount points, however. Not what I was looking for. For an arbitrary directory, I assume you want the du(1) style total space usage figures but in the 'human readable' style? 'du -hs' does that if you tell it the directory name: % du -hs /tmp 22K/tmp You are more adept at understanding man pages than I. I didn't get the -s switch. However, it only returns the single file or directory that I specify. It's closer to what I wanted than df but not quite there. As others have suggested else thread, there are a variety of cunning find + xargs combinations for generating a list of directories and feeding the list into du(1) automatically. Yes, and I've concluded that's probably the only way I'm going to get what I want. But all this seems to me to be pretty clearly explained in the du(1) and df(1) man pages so I've probably completely misunderstood what you are actually asking for. Nope. You understood. Thanks to everyone that responded. I'll tweak the suggestions until I get what I want or some near equivalent of it. I may be missing what you want, but I try CDing to the directory and then doing the du -hs *eg cd /tmp du -hs * It seems to get it when naming the directory doesn't. Thanks, Jerry. This turns out to be quite useful - actually a better solution than what I had in mind.

At each step they've tested the new technology, learning what it can and cannot do, discovering stuff the inventors never even imagined, discarding ideas that are techically problematic or culturally unpalatable, and adapting to it as it adapted to them. Now consider dropping 100,000 OLPC on a country where the (median and mode) hardware layer is paper and ink, the government - often autocratic and kleptocratic - cannot manage to install and run a 1950's era phone system, and religious leaders fulminate against imunization as a foreign plot. Even under the best of circumstaces exactly what do people reasoaly expect to happen? In my opinion you underestimate the abilities of people. There is no need for the people of the third world countries to evolve as we did. One only needs to look at the progress made in China over the last few decades. People who never had a telephone, facsimile, radio or in some cases even books are now using cell phones, computers and televisions. China is becoming more capitalistic, if not democratic, not because the government wants it to but because it has to. The people are more knowledgeable about the rest of the world because of the new ways of communication.

Also, since I am wrong about as often as I am right you would probably received a better answer. That said, I will try to help. IMHO the easiest way to find the values is to boot with your SCSI tape drive connected. When you are up you can run camcontrol devlist without the quotes. This will show you the values. Example: SONY DVD RW DW-Q120A PYS1at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd1,pass1) SONY DVD-ROM DDU1612 DYS1at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (cd0,pass0) You should use dmesg to find the controller for the SCSI. It will be something like AHC0. you can then use all of these values in /boot/device.hints as shown in man scsi. I hope this helps. Remember to keep the list in the email.

Re: Diagnosing fan problem

Re: how to make fixed Direct Access device (da) ID
On Sat, 16 Sep 2006 13:05:11 -0700 Jin Guojun [VFFS] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is awkward that dynamically and/or statically attaching SCSI hard drive and USB hard drive to the system will have different da IDs. For example, boot system with a SCSI drive (SCSI = 1), will have a da0 for this SCSI drive. Then plugging in a USB hard drive, which will be configured as da1. If boot system with both drives online, system will boot from SCSI drive fine till mounting root point. It fails because USB drive has da0 and SCSI drive has da1. Is there anyway to configure the system to have fixed da ID for SCSI drive or even for USB drive regardless if they are dynamically/statically attached to the system? -Jin Hello Jin Try man (4) scsi: All devices and the SCSI busses support boot time allocation so that an upper number of devices and controllers does not need to be configured; device da0 will suffice for any number of disk drivers. The devices are either wired so they appear as a particular device unit or counted so that they appear as the next available unused unit. Units are wired down by setting kernel environment hints. This is usu- ally done either interactively from the loader(8), or automatically via the /boot/device.hints file. The basic syntax is: hint.device.unit.property=value Individual SCSI bus numbers can be wired down to specific controllers with a config line similar to the following: hint.scbus.0.at=ahd1 This assigns SCSI bus number 0 to the ahd1 driver instance. For con- trollers supporting more than one bus, a particular bus can be assigned as follows: hint.scbus.0.at=ahc1 hint.scbus.0.bus=1 This assigns SCSI bus 0 to the bus 1 instance on ahc0. Peripheral driv- ers can be wired to a specific bus, target, and lun as so: hint.da.0.at=scbus0 hint.da.0.target=0 hint.da.0.unit=0 This assigns da0 to target 0, unit (lun) 0 of scbus 0. Omitting the tar- get or unit hints will instruct CAM to treat them as wildcards and use the first respective counted instances. These examples can be combined together to allow a peripheral device to be wired to any particular con- troller, bus, target, and/or unit instance. When you have a mixture of wired down and counted devices then the count- ing begins with the first non-wired down unit for a particular type. That is, if you have a disk wired down as device da1, then the first non- wired disk shall come on line as da2.

I've been spending the last day fighting an ASUS A8N-VM CSM motherboard, and I've given up on that hopeless battle.

I'm desperate to avoid jumping to Linux on this one, because I know that will turn into a huge pain in the ass later on. - Andrew Hello Andrew I am not sure if I can be of help but here goes. I purchased an A8N-VM in December and have been playing around with since then. I disabled APIC in bios and then ACPI performed somewhat better. Taking the system up to 6-Stable took the ATA hard drive from ATA/33 to ATA/100 and I was then able to install FreeBSD on them. Before that I had to use an old SCSI controller and disk. I only had one SATA drive to test with and it was the same story as the ATA. It showed up as /33 and would not perform. It now can be operated at /150. My user guide does not show the CSM designation so I am not sure of our differences. This system is not in production and if you would like me to perform any tests/experiments, contact me direct and I will be happy to oblige. I am dual booting at this time. I have AMD64 on the SCSI and i386 on a 120G Western Digital ATA drive. I hope I can be of some help.

Some on this list use automount. I prefer to manually mount all removeable devices and can not give any help for automounting. For dvd's or cd's they must be data discs. Music cd's can not be mounted. Movies on dvd's can be mounted using mount_cd9660. I am not sure but I believe that is for dvd ripping. Others on this list are more knowlegeable than I. The last sentence may qualify for the understatement of the year. :) Good Luck Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Malcolm
I don't know anything about mtools but you can check this link
regarding user mounting of 'da*' devices. Also have a look at
'man devfs.rules' and 'man devfs.conf'
I don't actally find devfs.rules or devfs.conf in the man pages;
(perhaps these are an addition in STABLE or 6.0) however
devfs(5) and devfs(8) and the files themselves shed some light
on the matter. While the information seems a bit sketchy in parts
I think it will get me somewhere near where I want to be.
Mea Culpa. I have 2 boxes running 6 RC1 and 2 running 5.4 P7. The man
pages are only on the 6 RC1 systems.
I also could not get a display from the man pages on the web site.
Thanks for your time and assistance,
You are welcome.

One is a server, the other is a desktop. snip Like others have already told you here, the best solution is packaging. There is a problem though - you can't make a package without installing the port first. If you're using portupgrade the whole thing is very simple. You mount /usr/ports from your file server on every client machine, and 'setenv WRKDIRPREFIX /usr/local/mywrk'. Then you just always run portupgrade with the -p switch on your fast machines, and use -PP (double P) switch on your slow machines. If they are all of single architecture and you don't put some very custom stuff in /etc/make.conf, it'll all work completely hassle-free. You'll also want to ensure that portupgrade uses the same ports db driver on all machines. dbm_hash is probably the most portable one, so you can place ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'dbm_hash' in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf on every machine. From then on you can portsnap fetch portsnap update \ portsdb -uUF portupgrade -arRF every morning, portupgrade -aprR on your build boxes, portupgrade -arRPP on your other boxes - and then just relax sit back and enjoy the magical feeling of being up-to-date.

There is also a good chance that I did some incremental 5.3 updates but I can't be for sure because all was well on the gateway and I was doing the incremental thing on other boxes.

At that time I can log in and all is well. It is consistent in all directions. I have made NO changes to ssh or any other config file.

According to the readout of ssh -vvv gateway the connection is made immediately. Does that not indicate that it knew where to go? It's not the forward case that's the problem. The sshd daemon on the server side attempts to find out where the connection is from by doing a reverse-lookup. If the incoming IP hasn't got a DNS entry, the failing DNS ip-lookup will time out in ~30s. Cheers. Jonathan Thanks for responding. In all of my systems /etc/hosts is populated with the name and LAN IP address of all other boxes. My gateway/firewall is a 5.4 Rel computer. I can ping that box it's called gateway with ping gateway or ping 10.0.0.1 no problem. I ssh there and it takes 40 seconds to provide me with a request for passphase. Once I'm in there I can ping all other boxes with name or IP. If I ssh from there to any box it takes 40 seconds for that next box to request a password. This happens from any box to any box. It was working perfectly until this week. It might be realted to me updating the gateway box from 5.3 to 5.4 but I know I had accessed it right after upgrade because it is headless and I had to ssh into it to do the world/kernel thing. Other than /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf is there any other config files I should check. Thanks again for your time.

Unless I disable the default deny policy, this is what happens:

OT: light weight spreadsheet program
Greetings I am trying to keep my older laptop from being filled up. i.e. Trying to keep the number of ports to a minimum, I am using xfce4. I like Gnumeric for my desktop system, which is a lot faster, but I don't want to have all of the gnome stuff that comes with it. I just tried it and it brought an additional 38 packages with it. I do not need all of the functionality that comes with gnumeric. Just a nice compact, gui spreadsheet. I will try all ideas and suggestions.

Before I do that, I would like to make sure (as far as possible) that my critical applications will continue to work, one way or the other. It seems that the Olympus Camedia (C-1) digital camera does have some quirks that require a cludge for the kernel, so it can be mounted as a block dev for my Linux kernel version, although I hear that newer kernels do support that quirk out of the box. I was wondering, whether anyone here is using such a camera under freeBSD, and can tell me whether it can be mounted under 5.3 without such a hack. Thanks in advance, Peer ___ Hello Peer I have an Olympus Camedia 3000 Zoom and it will not work directly connected via usb with FreeBSD.

Not for upgrading. portsclean (a part of portsupgrade package) is a nice feature of portupgrade, so is pkg_which and a few others so I keep portupgrade around just the same. -Mike How long does it take to run portmanager. Is it a similar amount of time as portupgrade for each run? Chris The time is about the same (in my experiance) AND (most importantly) portmanager seems to handle upgrading better then portupgrade does. IE: Thunderbird, Gnome, Firefox. Another nifty thing is that portmanager creates a package and dumps it in /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird (for example) and at least for me, I can pkg_add that to my laptop since they both run 5.3 Chris, check and see if you have a /usr/ports/packages directory. If you do then all the packages will end up in /usr/ports/packages/All and a tree of symlinks will be made under /usr/ports/packages for the ports that have packages. For some reason when you first set up FreeBSD/ports it does not make the /usr/ports/packages directory so the packages end up in the ports directory, this isn't a good place for them, here is why: When a port is removed, see /usr/ports/MOVED, cvsup should be able to delete the directory but if a package is setting in there it can't, so over time you will come across port directories that have just a package in it and maybe a readme.html file but nothing else. It will keep things leaner/cleaner if the packages directory exists. I keep meaning to submit a PR about the missing packages directory but never seem to get around to it :( One other thing just to let you know, I've been testing portmanager against this new gnome update, when its done there is a bunch of gstreamer-plugins-* left un-upgraded. I just tried pkg_delete -f gstreamer-plugins-* on them and let portmanager -u bring them back in, it seems to be working but I also cvsup'ed and there is so many new changes it will be awhile before I know for sure. Right now I'm telling anyone who asks to try pkg_delete -f gstreamer-plugins-* first before upgrading with portmanager if they use gnome. -Mike Mike Like Chris I have packages scattered in my ports directories. I have just started using Portmanager. I have now created /usr/ports/packages directory. Do I need to move the packages one at a time from the individual ports directories? Will running portmanager again find them and move them? Thanks for all the positive, active maintenance of this port.

The vendor looks at the number of installed systems and the competition for his product and makes a _business_ decision. Anthony's point, and I agree, is that everything will grow when our OS is taken for its strengths. It is difficult to get to the point of our strengths when the Suits see a representation of what they perceive as; childish or anti-christ or cartoonish whether justified or not. First impressions are important. Well, I hope I am helpful, at least some of the time. It seems to run about 50-50 that I am near the topic and am way out of touch. You are too modest. I always find your answers concise and correct. But, on this, the comment is not because of the specific opinion, but rather the tenor of the posts which seem to have begun drifting in the direction of having the look and feel of some from a recent very thoroughly unpopular but active troll. I respectfully disagree. I have found my frontal lobes being stimulated from the drift of Anthony's posts. These subjects (legal and others) may not be on topic for this thread but it seems to me to be a natural progression. The objectionable sign is the tendancy to not just post an opinion and let others have theirs, but to repeatedly pound on the same thread, often drifting far from the thread, with successive posts escalating the virulence of the rhetoric until there is no semblence of exchange left, just a bunch of who can shout the loudest. He is not the only one. At least I have not seen him insult other posters. In a posting storm from only a few days ago, it was noted that this goes beyond even the typical troll, and may need some other creature to characterize the identity - maybe a cockatrice or something. Anyway, in the way of the old folk story, it looks like, feels like, smells like, tastes like - sure glad I didn't step in it. As for the beastie mascot, it's cute. It is not likely to go away, just because someone designs some letterhead logo. I wear my beastie T-shirt to church for band practice or kids club now and then with no comment from anyone. The kids wear much more offensive stuff frequently. But, if FreeBSD needs a logo now, maybe for letterhead, etc, who cares. Make a nice logo that includes a bit of the trident peeking above the name and a bit of pointy tail curling up under it - just as a teaser and reminder. Please do a nice job, though. Some of the logos out there in marketing land really are junk - either butt ugly or totally unrecognizable as anything. I doubt that making an official logo to go along with the variations of the mascot will interfere with my putting Beastie FreeBSD stickers on our machines or hanging a printout of Beastie on the office door, or replacing my T-shirt when it wears out. jerry As always, I look forward to your future posts.

FreeBSD Logo
Many companies do change their logos (see link). Logos tend to evolve over time and as the world changes. Our world (software-wise) is definitely changing. If we want FreeBSD to exist in the future then change is inevitable. http://www.bellsystemmemorial.com/bell_logos.html The open source slice of the OS pie is getting larger. For the FreeBSD portion of that slice to grow, it must change. My 2 seashells.

I don't know if you have to enable it on both client and server, and you also need rpcbind if it was not enabled. This is the solution. rpcbind, rpc_lockd, and rpc_statd have to be enabled on both the server and the client. I now can sit in the recliner with the laptop and read the maillists. Thanks Erik for pulling on my collar and popping my head out of my ass. Robert Note, these are rpc-services, so if you have a strict firewall (that is any) your clients may not be able to access the lockd. Unfortunately there is no way of predicting which port lockd will bind to. Btw I assume that after adding the above lines to your rc.conf you succesfully started the services :-) (both statd and lockd are started by /etc/rc.d/nfslocking start) you should be able to see to which ports they bind using 'sockstat -4': daemon rpc.lockd 3329 3 udp4 *:648 *:* root rpc.lockd 3328 3 udp4 *:648 *:* root rpc.statd 3323 5 udp4 *:805 *:* if you don't see it check in /var/log/messages if it registred properly with rpcbind. I just tried and found that lockd wouldn't start without statd. I should add that I haven't really used statd/lockd, but from what I know, it appears your solution is somewhere in that direction. I hope this at least works as a pointer for you... :-) Cheers, Erik ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The device shows up in /dev as uscanner0 as it should. frankie# ls -l /dev/u* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel6 Nov 17 07:25 /dev/urandom - random crw-rw 1 root operator 240, 255 Nov 17 17:25 /dev/usb crw-rw 1 root operator 240, 0 Nov 17 17:25 /dev/usb0 crw-rw 1 root operator 240, 1 Nov 17 17:25 /dev/usb1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 241, 0 Nov 17 17:25 /dev/uscanner0 I have read all the applicable man pages, FAQ's and README's and am at a loss. This scanner shows as fully supported but I am stuck. I would think that all is well with my kernel since I do get a /dev assignment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I didn't waste $3 :) TIA Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
