Re: OpenBSD under Parallels Desktop

2007-01-26 Thread Peter Valchev
Has anybody been able to run OpenBSD 4.0 or newer under Parallels Desktop? Booting the 3.9 media works just fine and I am able to install the OS. Booting 4.0 (or newer snapshots) media results in a lock-up of the VM at the (I)nstall/(U)pgrade prompt. I'd post a dmesg(1) but I'm unable to

I replied to Ben privately already, but the lack of powerpc package snapshots is due to a short term problem with the machine that should get resolved soon... in case others wonder.

is the new prebinding code in 4.0? The code is there. It is not being used by anything yet. There are things which need to be worked out. and this stuff is documented in the ldconfig(8) manpage, see -P, if you want to play.

Re: NFS mount in /etc/fstab

Can I use the bg, and soft options in a /etc/fstab entry that references a NFS mounted filesystem? The idea is to allow the machine to boot, even if the machine NFS server machine is unavailable. Read mount_nfs(8), there are options that do what you want. Of course understand that while

I've installed and configured OpenBSD 3.9 on an Asus P5RD1-VM motherboard (ATI Xpress 200), but was kind of sad when I found out that the onboard NIC Realtek RTL8201CL wasn't supported by OpenBSD. It has only two PCIs slots, but I need three working NICs on it... So I'd just like to know some

No no not wrong, indeed I didn't talk about being positive. But being prime is being positive (should have said it I agree) and have EXACTLY TWO different divisors. And if 1 were prime you wouldn't have only one unique decomposition in prime numbers ;) (for exemple, is 45 = 3x3x5 or

3.9 beta was not fun for me, so I am reinstalling to 3.8 -Stable. For whatever reason I forgot that securelevel was set to 2, but 'make build' is running alright at the moment. Did you have a problem with 3.9-beta that you want to report? Otherwise who knows, you'll probably have the same

Might be a better way in the archives, but... edit ettercap/patches/patch-src_ec_plugins_c change the inserted line to always be true, e.g.: -#if defined(OPENBSD) || defined(MACOSX) +#if 1 #define SYM_PREFIX _ // for the symbols loaded with dlsym #else #define SYM_PREFIX

That's wrong. And you quoted the wrong patch, the actual patch does this and it's correct as-is: -#if defined(OPENBSD) || defined(MACOSX) +#if defined(OPENBSD) !defined(__ELF__) || defined(MACOSX) except it doesn't work, exactly as the OP described. I tested it before replying and it

This year, OpenCON hosted a mini hackathon with focus on ports. It consisted of 4 days right before the conference, and a dozen OpenBSD developers were present, most of them arriving on October 31st to spend the next 4-5 days working together on improving the system. Some of us had never met

Re: C++ exceptions with OpenBSD 3.6 on amd64

I have a simple c++ program that throws an exception and tries to catch it. But when I run it, it crashes with segmentation faul. Looking and the stack trace, looks like the exception is thrown but no one catches it. Is this a bug? There's a workaround? Not sure when, but this has been fixed

Re: Limiting Shell Access Damage (was Guruness)

To clarify, if you limit someone's ram use to a certain point, or CPU use to a certain point, it will slow down compiling due to having less resources :) As I said though - I may be wrong on this one. Yes, that would be the idea of limiting resources. If I am given the ability to use

I noticed that file can identify OGG-Files but if I try to use file for e.g. an MP3 it reports just data even it reports a lot informations for OGGs. Is there any reason (exclude things like nobody provided a patch...) why file can't identify MP3s? I thought mp3-headers are unique
