Using RPM to extract file
I am attempting to obtain a PPD file for a Brother MFC-9560CDW printer. According to this URL: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html, I can download a file from: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-9560CDW for this printer. Unfortunately, the file is only available in either RPM or DEB format. I cannot figure out how to extract the PPD from RPM file. I have read man rpm; however, I am still confused. I tried following the instruction given on the site for extracting the files; however, that only issued a warning about an incorrect operating system. Perhaps someone has some advice on how to go about this. I contacted Brother in regards to this but they said they only support Windows (obviously), Linux and Debian. According to them, support for other operating systems in not being considered presently due to a lack of consumer demand and the overhead involved. -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yeah, I admit it, was really stupid of me to try. All those linux ports go willy-nilly running rpm's thru your system, so when linux-flash-plugin-f10 crashed after install, I just *had* to hunt down it's dependancies and try installing them.

linux_base installation - missing rpm binary
Hello, I've just installed the emulators/linux_base-f10 port in order to run some rpm-based applications. Various online manuals told me that one should not use the native freebsd rpm binary (archivers/rpm), but instead use the /compat/linux/bin/rpm. But there's no such rpm binary under /compat/linux tree. What am I doing wrong? XD I'm running vanilla FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE, fresh ports tree.

When you format a disk a percentage of the disk is reserved for a map so your
file can be found.
On a UFS it is called the SUPER BLOCKS a master and at least one slave.
Typically these blocks will take up to 8% or there abouts of the disk.
BTW I am not shouting when SUPER BLOCKS' that's how it's written.
In a root shell type fsck and watch the screen.
For more info dig into you docs usually /share/doc or usr/doc there where some
really good docs on the UFS.

as 120 Gb and actually only has 117 Gb usable capacity. Like 9Gb is enough for several operating systems. 3Gb is even enough for an operating syste Advertised sizes are for unformatted media.

Hard drive RPM
Hello; Is there a utility for measuring the effective RPM of a hard disk? A software tackometer? I have IDE drives, SATA drives, both 7200 and 10,000 RPM, as well as SCSI disks that are supposed to be running at 15k RPM. I noticed that on the hard drive labels, those on the disk case itself do not specifically indicate what speed they are supposed to operate at. The two 10k SATA drives only had labels on the antistatic packaging indicating that they are 10k drives. I would like to verify the speeds of these drives. I am hoping that this is not a case of misrepresentations that I have found on network attached hard disk storage devices and Firewire drives. I have one that was expressly advertised on the package to be 120 Gb capacity, and in fact only 111Gb are available for storage. That is a 9 Gb discrepancy. A Fire wire drive I have is also designated as 120 Gb and actually only has 117 Gb usable capacity. Like 9Gb is enough for several operating systems. 3Gb is even enough for an operating system. Can anyone shed some light on this? (Storage device labeling, and specifically, RPM specs) I would ask the manufacturers but would be suspicious of bias responses. That is what I got from one of them already. Thanks in advance for responses. The hard drives in question are running on FreeBSD systems on homebuilt hardware. All AMD64 processors, ECS, Gigabyte, and ASUS motherboards, Hard drives are Western Digital IDE, SATA, and Seagate SCSI drives.

RE: Hard drive RPM
As far as the 120gig != 111gig discrepancy, it sounds like the drive manufacturer use 1 gig = 1,000,000,000 bytes instead of 1,073,741,824 bytes for their advertising. It looks better on the box. It gets messy with drive advertisements as there's no required standard for how they advertise a gigabyte, and whether it's formatted or unformatted capacity. I just assume they're advertising unformatted capacity with 1,000,000,000 bytes as a gig, then I'm pleasantly surprised in the end if I have more than I expected. :) Cheers, Brent -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jekillen Sent: Thursday, 20 September 2007 12:47 p.m. To: FreeBSD Mailing List Subject: Hard drive RPM Hello; I have one that was expressly advertised on the package to be 120 Gb capacity, and in fact only 111Gb are available for storage.

not sure, ultimatebootcd , as it has been suggested, may have some answers. For

You can also peruse hardware testing sites such as toms hardware and others for
tests on that particular drive.

Advertised sizes are for unformatted media. Each filesystem will use different
amount of physical resources (sectors in the disk) to hold its metadata, so
that will of course vary. I suppose you can always use the disk in raw ...
using dd or some other clever tool you may devise... :D let me know how it
goes :)
you may be able to increase the amount of available space (of course, depending
on the filesystem used) by modifying the block size, but that will usually
affect the number of total inodes (or equivalent in NTFS / others) available...
man tuning should have a section on this, as well as your filesystem of choice
documentation (eg, man newfs in BSd, man mk* in linux , NTFS docs @ MSDN )

Is there a special dir, ( /usr/compat/linux?), or dependencies that are required to compile the tarball?

Re: trouble installing rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz
Shalom Frederick, Why not use ports? Try to cd to /usr/ports/archivers/rpm and type 'make install'. That should do the trick. (Although the ported version of RPM is not of the 4.x branch). Could you possibly send a longer description of the problem? (not able to ./configure) is not a very clear description... Gilad.

I am attempting to teach myself about unix and could just use a pointer in the right direction. Thank you for your time... I think you may be confused about RPMs, FreeBSD packages and ports. RPMs are a species of package used with some Linux distributions. The actual package has a .rpm suffix and (normally) requires the Linux utility 'rpm' for creation, installation and management. FreeBSD packages have ann suffix of the form .tgz and are instaelled, and managed with a number of utilities installed by default with the FBSD installation. These are pkg_add, pkg_delete, and generally pkg_*. These contain precompiled binaries and support files. Ports in the FreeBSD system are essentually a set of Makefile driven algorithms for compiling utilities and applications from source; and installing the resultant binaries and support files in the (mostly) correct place in the system file hierarchy. Often the the algorithms first patch the source to make it better suited to the operating system or to fix bugs in the original. The source distributions may be in many different formats, but archives with the suffix .tar.gz are quite common. (Both ports and packages get registered in /var/db/pkg which assists in clean deletion of utilities and applictions) I believe this means that installing rpm is not useful in achieving your ultimate goal. I would guess gmetadom-0.2.1.tar.gz is the latest distribution you are refering to. Doing it the hard way you take this file and explode it with: # tar zxf gmetadom-0.2.1.tar.gz and read and try to digest the instructions that are likely to be contained for compiling and installing the software. This is the generic approach -- hopefully it works on any unix like system. The better way is to download the latest port algorithm from www.freebsd.org, install it in /usr/ports/textproc, and then # cd /usr/ports/textproc/gmetacom # make install But you might first have a look to see if you have gmetacom in your ports (/usr/ports/textproc/gmetacom) and if so check the version which you can find in /usr/ports/textproc/gmetacom/Makefile. If this is the version you are looking for then you don't need to install the port algorithm; just go ahead with the 'make install'. And assuming you have an internet connection it might all happen.

For example while I try to add rpm package I see next: /hw/z/Mandrake/RPMS# rpm -i wine-20001206-ipl9mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: sed is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk awk is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk grep is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk /bin/sh is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libGL.so.1 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libICE.so.6 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libSM.so.6 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libX11.so.6 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libXext.so.6 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libXpm.so.4 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libc.so.6 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.2) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libdl.so.2 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libm.so.6 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libncurses.so.5 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk libutil.so.1 is needed by wine-20001206-ipl9mdk I'm not sure about some of libs, but I have '/bin/sh' ;) I have on my machine installed 'FreeBSD 4.5R' with 'linux_base-6.1' Help me please Anton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
