I need this mouse to work in the console (mode); Tackling one thing at a

FWIW-
I have a MS Optical USB cordless mouse on my 5.2.1 box, connected to a 
Belkin OmniCube 4-port kvm switch with a usb-ps2 adapter, and it works 
great in both X and console windows. My XF86Config mouse section looks 
like this -

Identifier  Mouse1

And my rc.conf contains these lines -
moused_enable=YES
moused_port=/dev/psm0
moused_type=auto
usbd_enable=YES
I wonder now if the usbd_enable line is even needed since the mouse is 
being run thru the ps2 adapter.

On the bottom of my mouse it says 'Wireless Optical Mouse Blue'. I 
haven't made any mods/changes to the kernel, it is completely generic.

Same here.
I find that the mouse is responsive and I really like the feel. Now if 
only MS could do something with software. Good Luck

Thanks, I'll need it.  When I used to run FreeBSD 4.6.2, my Canon 
CanoScan scanner was not supported.  Now I hear that it is under 5.2 but 
my M$ft cordless optical mouse is not (out of the box and into USB that 
is...)

Re: ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?

Hi Danny,

Thanks again for your reply.

I did some fooling around and found some diagnostic programs.

I don't know why you are doing this since I already told you that
I fixed a bug referenced in bugzilla #267 that fixed the broadcastclient
problem. This is a waste of time.

However, the proper way of debugging these problems is to run ntpd
in debug mode: ./ntpd -D 2 -l stdout . You need to rebuild it with
debug turned on.

OK.  I am fairly versed in the ways of Windows, but am a relative
newbie as far as FreeBSD/Unix/Linux goes.  So, rebuilding the
program with debugging turned, may be a simple matter for you,
but is quite a task for me.




The count column in the 192.168.2.119 increments
every 4 seconds.  That IP address is the network
address for the Windows computer running Tardis.
Port 123 is the proper port for broadcast, yes?

Yes.


So, from this ntpd is hearing these broadcasts,
but isn't acting on them correct?

You cannot make any assumptions from what ntpdc tells you.
You need to run ntpd in debug mode to find out.

What could possibly be stopping ntpd from adjusting
the clock?

Without running ntpd in debug mode who can tell?


Does it have something to do with UTC/local time?
When I built this computer, I put in the correct
time (local daylight time) in the CMOS.  Does
ntpd depend on UTC?

ntp doesn't know anything about local time and it's irrelevant.


Any other ideas?

Install the latest tarball and the problem should be fixed. I don't
know why you are continuing to use the wrong tools to figure out
a solved problem.

Danny, I had run CVSup on FreeBSD, and it didn't update anything.
The latest version CVSup downloads is 2004 Oct. 15.

I am not real familiar with how the FreeBSD ports work, but I 
would think that this fairly major bug you fixed would cause
some updating of the ports so that newbies like me aren't
spinning our wheels trying to get broadcastclient to work.

http://Bugzilla.NTP.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267


I think that this is the tarball you are talking about, yes?

   ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617.tar.gz

I tried to download it from UDel.edu, but their ftp server wouldn't
let me on.  I found it on the HTTP side:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/

Since I am familiar with FTP on FreeBSD, I needed to get it elsewhere.
I found it in 3 other places:
http://www.FileSearching.com/cgi-bin/s?q=ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20040617.tar.gzt=fd=l=en

I am not certain what to do with it on FreeBSD now that I have it.
However, I'll dink around and see if I can update NTP on my 
computer.

Thanks again for pointing me in the proper direction.  I apologize
for my lack of understanding.  Hopefully, this post will help
others as well.

Re: ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?

2004-08-29 Thread Harlan Stenn
I'd recommend the latest ntp-dev tarball

once you have it:

 % tar xvzf ntp-dev-whatever.gz
 % cd ntp-dev-whatever
 % mkdir A.x
 % cd A.x
 % ../configure
 % make
 % su
 # make install
 # /usr/local/bin/ntpd -gN -D2  (or whatever)

And remember that you need to use authentication by default if you
are using broadcast.

If you do not want to use authentication you will either need a line
in your ntp.conf file (I forget what it is, but it should be easy to find)
or use -A on the command line.

It's pretty easy to set up authentication.

As far as I know, FreeBSD, although does have a development and a

team if they contribute something which the development team thinks to
be worthwhile to be included into the FreeBSD project. So like M$ and

Re: xf86config for Toshiba satellite pro laptop

 This seems to be a bug in recent releases (4.x and 5.x).  Just skip it
 from there, and install KDE/Gnome from one of the other menus.
 Everything is fine.  I don't remember exactly, but sysinstall is looking
 for the config file in /etc/X11/xf86config or something, while it's
 actually being installed in /usr/local/X11 or some other thing.
   the way to get around this is to either ignore it (which I do), or
 type in the above text (/etc/X11/xf86config) as I typed it (IIRC).  This
 is just a bug and things ARE getting installed correctly.  Just move
 down, later in the process and install a 'window manager.' KDE, Gnome,
 and a couple others will more than likely be listed.

Re: KlamAV on FreeBSD...

2004-08-29 Thread Mike Hauber
Thanks all for the replies...

The reason I'm looking for something to run under a GUI is 
that I've set up a network at my folks house which includes 
a FreeBSD box running Samba.  My Dad isn't comfortable with 
a command prompt yet, but he's interested in poking around 
to see what FreeBSD (and OpenBSD) can do (After so many 
times of having to go over there to fix windows, I couldn't 
help but spread some of my cheery Gospel.  :) ).

I figured the best way to get him introduced was to set him 
up with KDE.  So he's asked me about a virus scanner, and 
because there are three win machines on the LAN sharing the 
SMB resources, I figured it would be cool if the virus 
scanner was on the server.  It's not for scanning email, 
and I understand what was said about it being for windows 
viruses (actually, that's the idea).  I just figured that 
if the scanner was on a FreeBSD machine, then a virus 
wouldn't have a chance at screwing it up (I assume, while 
the backup Cd's are still smoldering).

I've thought about setting it up to run in the background 
and relay an email to me if it finds something so that I 
can ssh my way in without having to make a house call.  
Then again, it wouldn't be encouraging him to get his hands 
dirty.

I guess the best thing would be for me to get busy and 
improve my programing skills so I can get stuff like this 
to work.  Who knows?  Maybe it will be good enough for the 
ports tree.  :)

Thanks again.

Mike


PS...  I've only skimmed through the man pages, but I seem 
to remember something about it not being able to remove a 
virus from within an archive (although it can scan within 
the archive)?  I could be wrong, though (sounded pretty 
cheesy, but I was more intereseted in a mention of 
available frontends).  I played with it for a little while 
but uninstalled it after exhausing my search.



On Saturday 28 August 2004 05:08 pm, Lucas Holt proclaimed:

4-stable termios diff behaviour lc/lc_r

2004-08-29 Thread Tijl Coosemans
Hi list,

I think I've found a possible bug in 4-stable, though I'm not that
kind of an expert so I'll leave that decision up to you.

Attached is a little test program that opens /dev/cuaa0 and tries to
read 4 bytes.

When compiled using gcc vtime.c -o vtime there's no problem. For
example, when you run vtime without anything attached to cuaa0, it'll
wait about 2 seconds and timeout, since VMIN=0 and VTIME=20.

When compiled using gcc -pthread vtime.c -o vtime however, the read
function returns immediately, which as far as I can understand, is not
what it's supposed to do.

Does anyone know if this intended or not, or how I can get the right
behaviour in a threaded program?

You can run multiple instances of Apache on your machine but they cannot all

1.3.x is still the standard.

Don't you need to use ntp.keys in order to synch to a broadcast or
multicast server?

See ntp.conf(5):

 broadcastclient
 This command enables reception of broadcast server messages to
 any local interface (type b) address.  Upon receiving a message
 for the first time, the broadcast client measures the nominal
 server propagation delay using a brief client/server exchange
 with the server, then enters the broadcast client mode, in which
 it synchronizes to succeeding broadcast messages.  Note that, in
 order to avoid accidental or malicious disruption in this mode,
 both the server and client should operate using symmetric-key or
 public-key authentication as described in Authentication Options.

Cheers,

Matthew

help is highly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Hi,
 Project Evil aka NDISulator does not come with 5.2.1-Release. 
However, you can install it on 5.2.1-Release by following these 
instructions.
 You need to have the system's sources installed locally. In addition, 
you will have to download the NDISulator sources. You can either 
download them from CVSweb, by using CVSup or by using AnonCVS. I chose 
to use AnonCVS.
 Pick an AnonCVS mirror close to you from the list at [1]. I live in 
Germany, but since none of the two German mirrors work for me atm, I 
chose anoncvs.at.FreeBSD.org which is located in Austria. Set your 
CVSROOT environment variable so it fits the server you chose. I issued 
the following commands:

  $ su
  Password:
  # setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs
 I used 'su' b/c you need write permissions on the source tree to check 
out the NDISulator sources.
 Now you will need to login to the CVS server.

  # cvs login
  Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/home/ncvs
  CVS password:
 You can find the password listed at [1]. Now you need to check out the 
sources for NDISulator. The directories you need to check out are

  sys/compat/ndis
  sys/dev/if_ndis
  usr.sbin/ndiscvt
  sys/modules/if_ndis
  sys/modules/ndis
Use the following command to do so (and make sure you're in /usr/src):
  # pwd
  /usr/src
  mars# cvs checkout sys/compat/ndis sys/dev/if_ndis usr.sbin/ndiscvt \
  sys/modules/if_ndis sys/modules/ndis
  [CVS output snipped]
 First you should build ndiscvt(8) by doing
  # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt
  # make
  [compile output snipped]
  # make install
  install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   ndiscvt /usr/sbin
  install -o root -g wheel -m 444 ndiscvt.8.gz  /usr/share/man/man8
  # rehash
 Now you can build the first module by doing:
  # cd /sys/modules/ndis/
  # make
  # make load
  /sbin/kldload -v /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ndis.ko
  Loaded /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ndis.ko, id=4
 Finally you need to build the if_ndis module. This requires that you 
have got the drivers for your NIC availeable.

  # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
  # ndiscvt -i /path/to/driver.inf -s /path/to/driver.sys \
  -o ndis_driver_data.h
  [long output snipped]
  # make
  Warning: Object directory not changed from original \

  awk -f @/tools/makeobjops.awk @/dev/pccard/card_if.m -h
  make: don't know how to make pccarddevs.h. Stop
Now, I don't know what this error means or why it appears, but if you 
apply this patch to Makefile, it works for me.

CUPS not initialising USB printer correctly?

2004-08-29 Thread Ian Moore
Hi,
I've been using CUPS with a couple of epson inkjet over the last few years. My 
old inkjet which was a parallel port version seemed to work OK (albeit *very* 
slowly). When I bought a new C61 USB printer a couple of years ago, I found 
it printed OK sometimes, but often the first time I print to it, it prints 
garbage. I have stop CUPS, clear the print queue, reset the printer  restart 
CUPS (sometimes several times) before it will print correctly. Once it's 
right, it stays that way until I switch my computer off.
I've tried starting the computer with the printer on  with it off (which 
means I have to stop  restart cups before it will detect the printer), but 
either way I have this problem.
I assume that CUPS is somehow initialising the printer incorrectly sometimes.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any suggestion for fixing it 
without the whole stop, reset, reload process?

Cheers,
Ian

Re: cannot install KDE3 or KDE-LITE from ports

 Thanks for the reply, but are you sure I need to do a port

 a missing file.  Shouldnt the cvsup'd port have everything
 I need ?


It depends how much more than the base system sysinstall added, for 
example since you don't mention building Xfree86, I assume sysinstall 
would have added it from packages on the CD. Also cvsup itself  has gui 
dependencies and they would also have been installed before cvsup was 
run.

I'm not saying it will fix your problem, but  installing a new port on 
top of up-to-date dependencies, in general, gives you a better chance 
of a clean install - particularly with complex metaports like kde.

In general I've found KDE to be much easier to maintain from ports than 
Gnome. Whenever I've had a problem, a simple solution has appeared 
within a few days in UPDATING or at freebsd.kde.org

Re: vinum, fsck generates errors when Plex 1 is up

Subject: simultaneous apache 1.3x  2.x
I'm trying to install squirrelmail, but it seems that PHP + apache 2 +
squirrelmail doesn't go. I tried and although the install proceeds I 
get
  crashes in PHP.

PHP appears to deprecate apache 2 at present and looking at the 
squirrelmail
requirements it seems that apache 1.3 is the natural version.

Unfortunately this freebsd 4.9 system is also required to serve SVN so 
I
must keep apache 2.

So can I get both apaches working on the same system? Or perhaps 
someone has
some advice about getting squirrelmail working with apache 2.

Yeah that's what started this.  I'm using the exact same setup I

portupgrade of my ports-tree is what brought PHP and all of its

Doing so seems to have broken the mbstring regex component.

I did, after posting here, go back and rebuild php5-mbstring WITHOUT

Since FreeBSD is all I have to test with, I don't know if this is a

 Today I went to a friend's house to install FreeBSD on his workstation,
 trying to make him change to open source software. I am a cable user and
 he has ADSL. I had never configured ADSL on FreeBSD, nor USB connections
 to the net. So I did some pre-reading on the handbook and some tutorials..
 


I tried configuring one of these things for FreeBSD. The web page
directions were extremely simple, with the minor problem that they, ahh,
didn't work. (Even had a bit on UK connections - I'm in the UK.) I never
did get it to work right.

I am now using a Speedtouch 510, which does the connection itself, and can
be confitured using a web interface (it was *easier* to configure using the
web interface via FreeBSD than using its custom application on Windows!) or
even by telneting directly to the device - ah, bliss ;-)

team if they contribute something which the development team thinks to
be worthwhile to be included into the FreeBSD project. So like M$ and
similar concerns, you won't find a very OFFICAL person. However if you
ask your questions in the list, I believe the knowledgable people here
would surely answer.
Regards
S.
   

FreeBSD also has an elected Core team.  Although you might say it is
loosely coupled, I think these guys take what they do for FBSD pretty
seriously.  Think of the time invested in the Project, for starters.
Probably Falko should contact several (or all) of these gentlemen.  One
or two might consent to an interview.

finding the ip address

2004-08-29 Thread Steven Friedrich
I'm messing with ubermon for superkaramba and I want to know how to get my 
hosts ip address from the command line (and only the ip address).

I know I can grep and sed rc.conf or the output of ifconfig, but I'm hoping 
there's a command like whoami for the ip address.

There isn't anything that simple, but munging the output of ifconfig is what
you want.  This assumes that your box only has one IP address (other than
localhost):

# ifconfig -a | grep inet  | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk ' { print $2 } '
192.168.0.4

recover HD boot mbr

2004-08-29 Thread fbsd_user
I used an old ms/windows 98 PC to install 5.3 beta1 as a dual
bootable system. During the 5.3 install I created the boot manager.
After the basic install I was able to boot 5.3 but did not test boot
win98. I then did a 5.3 kernel recompile and booted the kernel. I
then tried to boot win98 by pressing F1 key and the boot process
just hangs. Rebooting and pressing F2 key for 5.3 also now hangs.

Question = Is there any way to fix this problem without killing the
win98 partition? I was thinking of installing this weeks 5.3 beta2
to see if that would correct the problem. Any suggestions sure would
help.

seems to have failed.  Would you like to try again?  Obviously, this is a
bit frustrating.
 

Sounds like it.  Wonder why?  Are you running the program with root

Here are what I think are the valid parts of the XF86Config file, but I may
be missing something - please let me know.

My main questions are:
1) The Toshiba documentation and Web site do not tell me what my internal
monitor's horizontal sync or vertical refresh rate is. (although it does
give me refresh rates for an external monitor - 60/75/85 @16M colors).  Is
there a place I can go to find this information?
 

Well, this is pretty common.  Many desktop monitors don't give such
information, either, and you either Google for it or guess, usually.  What
happens if you call startx, or have you?
2) Are there other obvious reasons the configuration would fail other than
the monitor?
 

The most obvious one I can think of is that, IIRC, the driver for the
Savage chipsets is savage, not s3.  But I could be wrong; can't
remember ever trying X with the savage driver.  Have you tried the
vesa driver?  Might do something for ya...
Secondly, your Horizontal sync range isn't a range.  Perhaps opening
that up a bit would allow you to try it out.
Certainly there could be other issues as well.  I mentioned permissions
above, for one.  If you have the above in /etc/X11R6/XF86Config, if you
run startx you should get either a server running or some error output
in /var/log that might help...OTOH, I've never set up X on any laptop; I
don't know if it's unsafe to try with a relatively untested config 
file.  But
the values look sane enough for a CRT display ...


3) Are there any sites I can visit for more info?
 

XFree's site at xfree86.org; the FreeBSD handbook at 
www.freebsd.org/handbook
come to mind.

Thanks so much!
 

You are welcome.
Vaughan Moore
Also, did I post this to the right list?  If not, please let me know where
it should go.
 

Works for me.

Did you mean a 4260dvd?  I cannot find anything on a 4620dvd.

If you had a slight case of dyslexia or maybe a little fat fingering, :o) I may

I checked the specs on the Toshiba Pro 4260dvd (attached pdf) and it has the

I really hope this helps. At one time I had either Lindows (Linspire) or SuSE

Plagarize whenever you can!

You might also try pciconf -lv to see if your board name and bus id are correct.

many LCP requests sent - abandoning negotiation.

It would be nice if some PPP guru could explain what that error means

 Hugo Silva ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [040829 08:53]:

 Today I went to a friend's house to install FreeBSD on his workstation,
 trying to make him change to open source software. I am a cable user
 and
 he has ADSL. I had never configured ADSL on FreeBSD, nor USB
 connections
 to the net. So I did some pre-reading on the handbook and some
 tutorials..



 I tried configuring one of these things for FreeBSD. The web page
 directions were extremely simple, with the minor problem that they, ahh,
 didn't work. (Even had a bit on UK connections - I'm in the UK.) I never
 did get it to work right.

 I am now using a Speedtouch 510, which does the connection itself, and
 can
 be confitured using a web interface (it was *easier* to configure using
 the
 web interface via FreeBSD than using its custom application on Windows!)
 or
 even by telneting directly to the device - ah, bliss ;-)

Problems compiling Gtk code

2004-08-29 Thread Fernando Gleiser
I'm trying to build a GIMP pluging for RAW files. There isn't a port for
it and the plugin suffers from the All the world's Linux disease.

The plugin doesn't use autoconf or anything similar, just the makefile
and a .c file. So far I could make it compile by adding the
corresponding -I flags to gcc (this isn't redhat where everything
goes under /usr/include/ :) ), but when I try to link it it fails miserably

Boot up the box using a recovery disk, err I guess its called a

fdisk /mbr
It would warn about non standard MBR and stuff but go through it. You
should be able to boot back into Win98.

But coming back to the FreeBSD Issue, If you have got two partitions

  After the basic install I was able to boot 5.3 but did not test
 boot
  win98. I then did a 5.3 kernel recompile and booted the kernel. I
  then tried to boot win98 by pressing F1 key and the boot process
  just hangs. Rebooting and pressing F2 key for 5.3 also now hangs.
 
  Question = Is there any way to fix this problem without killing
 the
  win98 partition? I was thinking of installing this weeks 5.3
 beta2
  to see if that would correct the problem. Any suggestions sure
 would
  help.
 
  Thanks
 
  What is your slicing, errr partitioning scheme?

Re: AARRRGGHHH! (was Re: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA errors in security output)

2004-08-29 Thread Subhro
Although highly unlikely, but could you check your BIOS and enable DMA
if there is any setting for it? Alternatively, old BIOSses are really
messy about handling New hard drives. So reflashing the BIOS is also a
good option if your mo'bo manufacturer offers something new. Also you
did not indicate what type of cable you are using, ie 40 conductor or
80 conductor.

 Somehow I don't think that's going to solve my problem.  After adding
 the following line to loader.conf:
 hw.ata.ata_dma=0
 the machine just freezes up while trying to mount the root partition.
 
 I managed to boot to an old kernel and fix that problem.

Install freeze

2004-08-29 Thread calebsbc
Hi sorry to bother anyone, but I have looked high and low for about 4
days trying to find a solution to this problem with no avail.

I have a Toshiba Dynabook v4/410pmew Japanese model.(I lived in Japan
for 2 years)
And I am trying to install FreeBSD. I have tried many other dist of
Linux but have always wanted to give FreeBSD a shot.

Any way I put in the install iso and it goes to the boot screen and then
after it starts the boot it starts to check the hardware config, normal
stuff right. And then nothing it gets to the usb0 and says legacy USB
device(or something) and freeze.
I can't type nothing no ctl+alt+del nothing. I tired disable the USB
module to see If that was a problem but no go. I am not a complete
n00bie but I am stumped I even tried booting with another Linux disc to
see if I can do the install through a command prompt but I don't know
enough about Linux or FreeBSD to do that.

So any suggestions?

Any help would be really great

Thanks.

Is Courier-IMAP working for you? Have you tested with another client

Did you run the 'configure' script in the Squirrelmail directory to

But I have a doubt about this... Is the MAXDSIZ the offset  or its the actual 
size From the diagram explained in the above link. Where can I fit MAXSSIZ in 
the diagram. If its a offset 
 
And one more thing Does the Kernel occupies 1GB of VM  as depicted by the

protocol priority

2004-08-29 Thread i18rabbit
with FreeBSD 4.10 functioning as a 'ppp -nat' LAN server,
is there anyway to prioritize the processing of protocols?

for example, i am grabbing nntp data, and i want it at a much
lower priority than http data - when i use my browser, i want
to see a 90/10 ratio of http/nntp packets in tcpdump on the
LAN server.  i never heard of this being done, but it would
be nice.  running 'nice' on a client doesn't seem to change
anything so far as this goes.

please copy any replies off the maillist, thank you.

 Does anyone have some ideas why it isn't synching up?

Don't you need to use ntp.keys in order to synch to a broadcast or
multicast server?

See ntp.conf(5):

 broadcastclient
 This command enables reception of broadcast server messages to
 any local interface (type b) address.  Upon receiving a message
 for the first time, the broadcast client measures the nominal
 server propagation delay using a brief client/server exchange
 with the server, then enters the broadcast client mode, in which
 it synchronizes to succeeding broadcast messages.  Note that, in
 order to avoid accidental or malicious disruption in this mode,
 both the server and client should operate using symmetric-key or
 public-key authentication as described in Authentication Options.

Cheers,

Matthew

Thanks Matthew for your reply.

My 'man ntpd' page gives the -A option to turn off authentication:

-A Disable authentication mode

(http://www.Google.com/search?q=%22-A+Disable+authentication+mode%22)

As far as I can tell, there is no way to enable authentication
using Tardis.  I was hoping that there would be a simple solution
utilizing Tardis, since it works great on Windows.

Great. How do I know which disk is which? _I_ could work it out if the panel

Note: DOS names would be worse than useless because I don't use DOS, and the
