VGA connectors looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vga-cable.jpg Anyhow, the point is if you're using a DVI connector, X will be able to query the monitor and find out its preferred resolution etc. automatically. Whereas with a VGA connector, it will default to using one of the standard VGA series of resolutions. All monitors will support some sort of VGA resolution for backwards compatibility -- typically 1024x768@60Hz -- and many will support higher, but all of the VGA series resolutions are 4:3 aspect ratio which doesn't look very nice on a widescreen monitor. There's two ways to fix the problem. 1) Get a video card with a DVI connector, or at least a DVI-to-DVI monitor cable if your card already has that. Apart from the hassle of getting a new video card that will work happily with X, this should be pretty painfree. 2) Edit your Xorg.conf to add a custom mode that matches what your monitor expects. Back in the days of CRTs this was a potentially risky thing to do, as configuring the video mode wrongly could phsically damage your monitor. Modern flatscreens however will just put up a message saying the input is incompatible. Working out what the right parameters are to put in the mode definition is the tricky bit. You may be able to use xrandr to pull them out (but if xrandr could do it, then X would do it automatically too...) There should be documentation that comes with the monitor, or you may find a kind soul online with the same make and model of monitor who will send you some xrandr output.

There are two factors involved: The question of video memory is usually selectable in the CMOS setup of the BIOS. Defaults will allocate several (and sufficient) MB for common resolutions. However, this is a usually automated process that does not involve user action. It should just work(TM)(R)(C). :-) Holy Crud =no=. the 3010 has that screwy bootloader UEIF [?] that took me 79 years to get past that. the box just-boot. but not into widescreen. actually, I have two optiplix models; the older is a Dell dual and works at widescreen. I dont know why or how. The question of the support for the current display is handled by the GPU driver (usually brought by X itself or an additional package, like for nVidia drivers). You can easily obtain what resolution your display _natively_ has (in case it's a LCD, which I assume), and the driver should automatically initialize the display for _that_ display size (because physically, there is only that one, in contrast to CRTs that can support different display characteristics). you lost me. how can I easily obtain the resolution? FWIW:: im using my KDE switch ... ssh works going out; I get no route to host going back from this dell dual to tao my new quad. I have been trying for around three hours to get ssh working bidirectionally. nutshell, there is no way I can get Perry's or your xorg.con file onto tao wwithout a shit*oad of typing. censored In case it does _not_ work automatically, you can always setup things using xorg.conf (which you normally do _not_ need). For example, Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 Monitor Monitor0 DefaultDepth24 SubSection Display Viewport0 0 Depth 24 Visual TrueColor Modes 1920x1280 EndSubSection EndSection would require 1920x1280 to be initialized regardless of what the integrated magician might think. For dynamic testing, you can use the xrandr command. Issue those commands from an X terminal: xrandr --fb 1920x1280 xrandr --size 1920x1280 HMMM. I Just buttoned over: the --size says that the 1920x1280 isnt found in the modes. I'll use locate and see where the heck that configuration file is. ...WEll, the xorg.conf is only three lines long. it's in the usual place, /etc/X11 . and there are a bunch of related files in /usr/share/X11/* without a Mode line anywhere. You can use xvidtune (usually _not_ used for LCDs, only for CRTs and tuning) to verify. In worst case, put those two commands in your X initialization file (usually ~/.xinitrc, sometimes ~/.xsession, if not cascaded). It's a dirty hack, but it should work. :-) everything in my to-be desktop is standard. so is KDE and Gnome.

Back in the days of CRTs this was a potentially risky thing to do, as configuring the video mode wrongly could phsically damage your monitor. Modern flatscreens however will just put up a message saying the input is incompatible. Working out what the right parameters are to put in the mode definition is the tricky bit. You may be able to use xrandr to pull them out (but if xrandr could do it, then X would do it automatically too...) There should be documentation that comes with the monitor, or you may find a kind soul online with the same make and model of monitor who will send you some xrandr output. here's the Whole story. last summer I dedided to switch to all linux`in order to make upgrades simple[r]. since my brother engineer [a retired ME] was too ill to help i hired a technician. my old-tao (a homebrew AMD quad-CPU) had a broken USB. this was how I realized that the USB was broken. with a new KVM the home-brew still failed. I could ssh to- from, but not watch it boot. So I finally decided it was time to buys another Dell, new. somebody gave me a used Dell dual. my server is a new dual from '09. used and refurb'd and home-brew is not the optimal way. so my tech said he would look for the best Dell quad he could find, and after 6 weeeks he brought over the 3010. [fact: this chap is self-taught. but he got me a new kvm and blindly pluged things together.]] whether the 3010 has ye-olden VGA jack =plus= the DVI, I dont know. my guess is that the technician knows the diff. nutshell, looks like whatever ghaphic chipset the computer had maxes out a 5:4 screen-size ratio. I =will= try adding the mode line info. thanks, gary Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Both the content and the dimensions of the screenshot say it's 1920x1080. If the phsyical display has a different size (measured in pixels), it should communicate that fact to X, and as long as X loads the proper driver (maybe the Intel GPU driver? - has to match what's installed on your mainboard or in your machine!) the correct screen size should be initialized, at least _for_ X. Note that problems might occur _prior_ to X due to KMS (kernel mode switching) which can happen to have less good support. Also from the content of the screenshot, it's visible that the display is connected via VGA. That's sub-optimum. If possible, connect per DVI cable, so it stays all digital all the time. Even though both VGA and DVI have a data channel to transmit data (like monitor pixel size) to the GPU, DVI seems to be the preferred solution for flatpanels, especially wide ones. 1920x1080 is already widescreen.

Pretty much all modern widescreen monitors will have a DVI connector as well as the legacy VGA. actually, I have both. the KVM dates from 2010 and came with four cables and eight plugs. Ahah! You're using a KVM switch. That can block the monitor from sending its configuration information to the X server. It's easy to tell: just try connecting directly to the monitor temporarily.

There are two factors involved: The question of video memory is usually selectable in the CMOS setup of the BIOS. Defaults will allocate several (and sufficient) MB for common resolutions. However, this is a usually automated process that does not involve user action. It should just work(TM)(R)(C). :-) The question of the support for the current display is handled by the GPU driver (usually brought by X itself or an additional package, like for nVidia drivers). You can easily obtain what resolution your display _natively_ has (in case it's a LCD, which I assume), and the driver should automatically initialize the display for _that_ display size (because physically, there is only that one, in contrast to CRTs that can support different display characteristics). In case it does _not_ work automatically, you can always setup things using xorg.conf (which you normally do _not_ need). For example, Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 Monitor Monitor0 DefaultDepth24 SubSection Display Viewport0 0 Depth 24 Visual TrueColor Modes 1920x1280 EndSubSection EndSection would require 1920x1280 to be initialized regardless of what the integrated magician might think. For dynamic testing, you can use the xrandr command. Issue those commands from an X terminal: xrandr --fb 1920x1280 xrandr --size 1920x1280 You can use xvidtune (usually _not_ used for LCDs, only for CRTs and tuning) to verify. In worst case, put those two commands in your X initialization file (usually ~/.xinitrc, sometimes ~/.xsession, if not cascaded). It's a dirty hack, but it should work. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

FreeBSD 7.x should have similar system requirements as 4.7, except for needing more disk space. Having said that though, support for FreeBSD 7.4 is estimated to end in February 2013, just four months away, and I can't see any signs on the FreeBSD web site that there is a 7.5 release being planned. So perhaps switching to 8.3 is the more sensible option if your hardware will allow it. I should point out that it should be possible to use 'pkg_create -a' on the existing system to create tarballs of every installed package, then install FreeBSD 4.7 under VirtualBox, copy the tarballs to the virtual machine, then install all of them with 'pkg_add *.tgz'. It may also be possible to use rsync to synchronise the VM's filesystem with the actual server machine, although I think rsync will need to be installed on both. Also, sshd will probably need to be temporarily enabled on the original server if it's not already. There is also the 'dump' and 'restore' programs in FreeBSD that could be used for cloning a FreeBSD system over a network, although I'm not at all familiar with their usage. Is there any particular reason you went with 4.11? Is it because it was the last of the 4.x series? (I don't recall offhand.) I vaguely recall there were some ABI changes over the lifetime of the 4.x series which meant binaries built for, say, FreeBSD 4.0 would not run under later versions (4.8 perhaps). I only mention this because you might encounter problems running binaries built for FreeBSD 4.7 under FreeBSD 4.11.

If you can find the file on a faster site, you can download it and put it in
/usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/i386/fedora/10/ and restart the OpenBox build, or
you can put these two settings in /etc/make.conf:
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?=\
ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
Change the uk to point to a site near to your geographical location. With
these lines, your ports system will first look for distfiles on the FreeBSD
mirror site, and will only go to the MASTER_SITE in a port's Makefile if the
FreeBSD site doesn't have the required file. This is sometimes faster than
going to the MASTER_SITE first.
Or, as RW suggested, try setting RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES.

thank you dan
but how i can use RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES temporary?
i tried google but i didn't find any info about this!!!
It's just a shell variable, so you can temporarily set it by defining it on
the command line for which you want it to apply. In this case, you'd want to
go back to the OpenBox directory, and type
RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES=1 make all install clean
(That's the number one after the `='. It doesn't really matter what value it
is set to - the important thing is that it's set)
For this one command, RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES is in effect.
Looking at this again, it seems I got myself confused as to where you should
download the distribution file. I think your system is trying to download a
plain tbz file, and not an RPM. If that's the case, the downloaded file will
actually go in /usr/ports/distfiles. The fact you mentioned fr.rpmfind.net
was enough to send me off down the wrong path...
Sorry for making things more complicated than they needed to be!

Correct. RAID5 requires at least 3 drives. The only way to have resilience against disk failure with just two drives is to use RAID1 (mirroring). How exactly are your colleagues attempting to set up RAID1. There are several different ways of doing it, but these are the most popular: * Using the built-in ATAPI RAID provided by many motherboards * gmirror * ZFS ATAPI RAID is perhaps the least effective, and may require downtime in order to rebuild the system after a disk failure. I suspect this is what is causing your colleagues problems. For setting up a gmirror RAID see this article: http://onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html (That will work fine with 8.2 or older and the old sysinstall; needs to be adapted if using the new bsdinstall with gpart) For setting up a ZFS mirror, see: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror or I wrote a similar piece assuming use of bsdinstall: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/articles/install-on-zfs/ Both of the gmirror or ZFS procedures involve going beyond what the installer provides and doing at least part of the work from the command line. If that is too scary to contemplate, then try using the PC-BSD installer to install FreeBSD -- it lets you set up mirrors or ZFS from a menu system, and can install plain FreeBSD as well as PC-BSD: http://www.pcbsd.org/index.php?option=com_zooview=itemItemid=98 now they said us that the only way for having backup of DATA in this condition is set up a scheduled task to put back up of data in the second HDD . Well, this is really unsatisfactory and your colleagues should be ashamed. First of all, RAID1 is not *backup*. If you accidentally delete a file, it will be removed from both of the mirrored drives. The thing that RAID1 gets you is resilience to disk failure: one of your drives going 'pop' will not result in the system crashing or any service interruption. Backup of the system should be arranged through some other means: there are many programs available to do the job in the base system or the ports -- personally I like tarsnap, which will backup your data to the cloud (Amazon flavoured cloud, that is) for a very reasonable rate.

Re: question about milter software
I think you'll find Postfix to be much more modern and easy to work with for that kind of message rewriting. But what you're looking for is pretty complicated when you start having to deal with multipart messages; the messages have to be completely processed and separated into respective parts, and then once the rich part is found, you've got to parse the HTML and insert the footer into the right spot, and then recompile the message. And if the message is plain text only, you can't insert HTML and have it be displayed as such. In short, I doubt you'll have much success in doing this well. It would be better to configure this in the email client and lock that down somehow.

There are at least a couple of possible explanations, none of them good. 1) the jail is attempting a DoS (or participating in DDoS) against an Israeli _government_ network/machine. 2) the jail is 'owned' by a botnet, and is trying to 'phone home' for instructions.

It looks like you are always reading from the same file descriptor
'fd'. Instead you should read from fd_naughty[0] or fd_nice[0] based
on your FD_ISSET checks. Also, don't forget to wait() for your child
processes.

Let us assume you want to read your file, then display each entry for
$user1 , $user2 and so on:
grep $user my_file | awk '{ print $3}' | sed -e s/\'// | sed -e s/;//
1/ open my_file and only display lines containing $user
2/ display the 3rd item on the line
3/ remove the single quotes and the ;
I'm sure it can be optimized a bit but basically, that'll do what I
assume you want.

I see no particular objection to adding a way of running something ahead of the single-user shell, but system(3) is not necessarily the best mechanism to use for the purpose because it invokes a shell.

It would be more general to fork/exec /etc/rc.single instead of /sbin/ifconfig, expecting /etc/rc.single to be an executable script (with an appropriate shebang line) and ignoring the failure which would occur if it did not exist.

Do they describe doing a bare metal install of an OS? They are the Dell Remote Access Controllers (DRACs). Now, they do have their own dedicated NIC, which we use for anything that really needs the attention. However, the shared feature saves us a switchport per server we use it on. When both on-board NICs are cabled (i.e. for lagg(4) failover), then the DRAC's shared NIC mode *also* supports automatic failover between both on-board NICs. This doesn't help however if the operating system never turns on the links to either on-board NIC.

That is a strange question. I guess the answer is 'Yes' It depends on what you want to be changed in your new version. For example, I would guess that you would take an interest in making your own user environment/interface. Well, that would involve doing stuff from X11 most likely and most probably more of configuration changes than code changes. Then there is a whole long list of things people want added/fixed/ modified on the system. You might want to check that out for ideas. Probably you need to learn a lot more about the existing system before you go to making a custom version. jerry Regards, Stefanus From: Christer Solskogen christer.solsko...@gmail.com To: Stefan N stefanbsd...@yahoo.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Mon, April 11, 2011 7:51:50 PM Subject: Re: Question : Developing/Making FreeBSD derivative.

Why should people use yours over FreeBSD? Not that there aren't possible good reasons. ;) But answering that will probably tell you what you need to do to create your derivative. Daniel T.

Re: question on access to res utility
Joanne, I did a quick which and search of the ports that yielded nothing concrete regarding this command. I believe that this a proprietary Juniper utility. I found similar reference to this at this url: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?23,124019,124019 As much as I hate passing the buck, I'd have to punt this back to someone familiar with the changes to FreeBSD made in JunOS.

Re: question on access to res utility
As an !!! employee !!! of Juniper I would expect that you would know that the res command is part of the JunOS shell and NOT part of the underlying FreeBSD OS. Most especially since you're helping what sounds like a member of the press, therefore you SHOULD have / SOME / idea of what you are doing.
