KDE4.1 - what is it about avahi-libdns and mDNSResponder
Hello Guys, I am trying to install KDE 4.1 on a FreeBSD 8-CURRENT system that I have inside VMware. I am having the installation failing because of conflict btn avahi-libdns and mDNSResponder - why does KDE 4.1 require both? I have pkg_deleted either of them but KDE4 still pulls both of them up and fails due to the conflict.

Max. number of opened files, efficiency
How many files can I open under FreeBSD, at the same time? Problem: I'm making a pivot table, and when I drill down the facts, I would like to create a new temporary file for each possible dimension value. In most cases, there will be less than 1000 dimension values. I tried to open 1000 temporary files and I could do so within one second. But how efficient is that? What happens when I open 1000 temporary files, and write data into them randomly, 10 million times. (avg. 10 000 write operations per file) Will this be handled efficiently by the OS? Is efficiency affected by the underlying filesystem? I also tried to create 10 000 temporary files, but performance dropped down. Example in Python: import tempfile import time N = 1 start = time.time() files = [ tempfile.TemporaryFile() for i in range(N)] stop = time.time() print created %s files/second % ( int(N/(stop-start)) ) On my computer this program prints 3814 files/second for N=1000, and 1561 files/second for N=1.

I just need a temporary file object, I would like to access it in read write mode and then throw it. For some reason, this kind of temporary file is implemented this way (at least in Python): 1. create file name with mkstemp 2. create file object with that name 3. save the file handle number 4. unlink the file name (remove directory entry) 5. return the file handle (that can be closed later) This is executed each time I create a temporary file. As you can see, the number of entries in the tmp directory won't increase at all. (If it would be possible, I would create a file without a name for the first time.) When I close the file handle, the OS will hopefully deallocate the disk space because from that point, nothing references the file. Another interesting (offtopic) question is that I could not open 10 000 files under Windows XP. Error was too many open file. How to overcome this?

There are various limits on the numbers of handles of different types available in MS-Windows. Some can be adjusted by adding or changing registry values and rebooting. Others can only be modified by changing constants and recompiling. Your best bet to find which this is would be to do a search on MSDN.

ATi Intel graphics
At some point fairly soon, I'll be rebuilding my computer, and I want three things. 64 Bit for more memory, maybe a bit of performance boost as well - it's mostly a multimedia machine decent/good 3D acceleration (better than a GeForce 7300GS - a few games in WINE in 1920x1080 - yes, believe it or not, the 7300GS doesn't do /bad/ on many of the games, but it certainly could be better). FreeBSD. I've used Solaris and Linux, and honestly, I'd rather go back to Windows and use Cygwin for my *nix needs. I'd rather use FreeBSD for the system than Windows. 64 Bit immediately knocks out the thoughts on using an nVidia card. Has anyone had much experience with a 3600 series ATi card, it's the best in the discreet-video category for my target price/performance, but not listed in the man pages for the Radeon (non-HD) - only the 3400s and the 3800s). Aside from that, going for the really cheap end, has anyone had much experience with the Intel 4500HD chipsets yet? I'm lousy with other people's code (barely good with my own), but I could test if needed, if/when I get the board. Could anyone give me some of their experiences here? How are your experiences with these pieces of hardware and their drivers in terms of stability/reliability (in FreeBSD of course)?

Re: Interpreting top, vmstat, and company
Christopher Cowart wrote: What is the difference between the SIZE and RES fields of top? These are the same as the SIZ and RSS columns in ps(1). The former is the total virtual size of the process, i.e. the sum of all pages mapped into the process. The latter is the part that is currently resident, i.e. in physical RAM. Therefore you have always SIZ = RSS. If RSS is 0, it usually means that the process is completely swapped to disk. Note that *both* numbers include pages shared with other processes, such as text pages (that's executable code, not ASCII text) from binaries and libraries, and shared memory. How does this work with a threaded program like apache? Multiple threads within the same process always share the memory. So, as far as the memory consumption is concerned, it doesn't matter at all if a process is threaded or not, and how many threads it contains.

Basically those numbers mean this: 425 MB of RAM is wired memory. Most of this (maybe even all) belongs to the kernel. Wired means memory pages that are fixed in physical RAM. The kernel cannot be paged to disk (at least not in FreeBSD), so kernel memory is usually wired. 131 MB of RAM is actively being used by processes. Everything else is just different kinds of cache.

In most cases, there will be less than 1000 dimension values. I tried to open 1000 temporary files and I could do so within one second. But how efficient is that? What happens when I open 1000 temporary files, and write data into them randomly, 10 million times. (avg. 10 000 write operations per file) Will this be handled efficiently by the OS? Is efficiency affected by the underlying filesystem? Wouldn't it be more efficient to use a DBM file (anydbm, bsddb), indexed by dimension, for this? You may also want to consider numpy and some modules in scipy for this kind of computations: IIRC they do have some functions to efficiently store and read back binary data to/from files. And numpy (ndarray) does have a nice slice-like syntax too. I also tried to create 10 000 temporary files, but performance dropped down. Example in Python: import tempfile import time N = 1 start = time.time() files = [ tempfile.TemporaryFile() for i in range(N)] stop = time.time() print created %s files/second % ( int(N/(stop-start)) ) On my computer this program prints 3814 files/second for N=1000, and 1561 files/second for N=1.

A brute-force method is to repaint the screen before `less', and to clear it afterwards, which can be done in `tcsh' with alias less 'less -c \!* clear' However, this makes the screen contents prior to the `less' command scroll off the top and become invisible. To avoid this, you can use termcap(5) instead of the above alias: setenv TERMCAP xterm|xterm-color:tc=xterm-xfree86: setenv LESS -cs setenv PAGER less See http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/faq.html#tite and `/etc/termcap'.

Lots of accounting data
Hello,
I'm playing a game of cat and mouse with process accounting and disk
space. I built some boxes with 9GB /var partitions, rolled them into
production, and after about 4 days of full load, /var filled up.
Looking at the size of /var/account/acct{,.0}, and figuring I'd be
seeing a 200% load increase in about a month, I created a new label from
the large chunk of free space I saved for situations like this. 40GB
mounted to /var/account: usage was down to 20%, and I thought the crisis
was averted.
About a week and a half later, I get a disk full e-mail from nagios and
+pid 94696 (gzip), uid 0 inumber 6 on /var/account: filesystem full
in my dailies again. My /var/account/acct file was 17GB in size. Add one
rotation before compression and I completely lose that feeling of
cleverness I had when I gave accounting a dedicated 40GB partition.
If you're wondering how I can possibly have this much accounting data,
two `vmstat -f' invocations 100 seconds apart show 32282 forks (an
average of 323 per second). These boxes are running squid with a
redirect script to implement a captive portal. There are generally
several hundred unauthenticated users; all of their http traffic, from
firefox to the little weather widgets and spyware phoning home, gets
proxied through squid and subsquently a redirect script that, among
other things, does some text munging on the URL, and queries various
ipfw tables to determine what context the user is in. Some of this
could be optimized to launch fewer processes, but the code would be less
maintainable.
I only really see two options, neither of which I particularly like:
* Throw more disk at the problem (but given what I've seen, I don't
like the odds that within a month or two, I'll realize I didn't give
it enough).
* Turn off accounting on these boxes.
Are these really my only options? Is there any kind of tuning I can be
doing?

ATI is even going to provide the developers with documentation (could be that that has happened by now?). The most up-to-date info can usually be found on the phoronix.com website, e.g. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=NjU0OQ The driver that you want for ATI cards is xf86-video-ati. But for the most features you'll have to compile it yourself from the code in a git repository. You'll probably need an updated DRM driver as well.

We know it is not a DNS problem, because if PHP is setup as a CGI function, it works fine. It is only in DSO mode that PHP malfunction like this. We're also having no issues with our resolver for mail, ping or any other services. Some people were pointing out that this is a fault of FreeBSD reaching a maximum number of file descriptors. Others said this can't be resolved until upgraded to FBSD 6.3 which we are not planning to go through.

Hi mc,
I was poking around in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk, figuring that it was
controlling the dependencies in the librsvg2 port. There's a comment at
the top of the file:
# === USERS =
# To specify which gecko-based backend you prefer, use something like:
#
# WITH_GECKO= firefox
#
# The valid backends are:
# firefox flock nvu seamonkey thunderbird xulrunner
#
# See below for more details.
# === /USERS
A little further down, there's this comment:
# USE_GECKO= firefox-devel-firefox
# This will sed -e 's/firefox/firefox-devel/' on Makefile.in's and
configure
# if ${GECKO}==firefox-devel
I wonder if something like this would work for librsvg2:
make USE_GECKO=firefox3-firefox install clean
It won't with the current version of the Makefile anyway, since it uses
USE_GECKO= instead of USE_GECKO?=, so it can't be overridden. It
would be interesting to try making that change and then use the make
command above to see if the www/firefox dependency is replaced with
www/firefox3.
It sounds like you're working with FF2 now anyway, but maybe this will
help sometime in the future.

Greg

not sure what megaupload is , but you should google for page scrapers.
if you use firefox, the FlashGot extension may come in handy.

Intel 802.11agn: Disabling n?
Hello, I intend to acquire a notebook with the mentioned wireless option, and I understand that its driver, iwn, is still in development stage. I spotted a mention to a disabled n in a recent thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-June/176638.html. Is there a handy way to do this so that it could be re-enabled once iwn becomes available in STABLE? The intention is of course being able to use the 802.11abg driver wpi.

Twilo was the most beloved and, its critics say, most played-out nightclub to grace the streets of New York City since the seminal Studio 54. Playing host to dozens of legendary DJs from around the world, the club was instrumental in popularizing international styles of house and trance music within the United States. Twilo regularly featured prominent American and European DJs playing trance, techno, and house music. Sasha and John Digweed had a monthly residency at the club, playing the last Friday of every month. Early in 2001 after Sasha suffered an ear injury in a car accident and was unable to dj, John Digweed would play the entire 8 hour time slot by himself. Other DJs would play frequently such as Paul van Dyk, Carl Cox, Robert Fauver, Richie Hawtin aka (Plastikman), Danny Tenaglia, Merritt, Jeff Mills, DJ Dan, and Sven Väth. Many of these artists made appearances at Twilo before hitting the mainstream. Twilo comes to London and encapsulates New York's truely cosmopolitan feel with a distinct attitude and vibe of polysexual hedonism. Get ready to lose yourself and your inhibitions...Welcome to Twilo The Legendary NY party returns to London... After the phenominal success of the last party, the legendary NY club night returns to Pacha London for some more distinct house sounds.

Roland I suppose it's naive to think that some tool like portupgrade could be bent to build all the depends with -m32 as well? This has been discussed earlier on the list. To summarize (and correct me if I'm wrong, people) It should be possible to modify the ports infrastructure to support this, but nobody has volunteered to spend the effort to make it so, because it's much easier to install the i386 version. Very few people actually _need_ to run amd64 (because they regularly run out of address space on i386), especially on the desktop. I guess you'd wind up with a bunch of things you didn't want as 32-bit (i.e. XOrg?) being re-installed as 32bit, right? Not completely. The X protocol works on 32 and 64 bit machines. But you would need a 32-bit Xlib (talking to a 64-bit X server). You can probably see that this would have significant consequences for the ports infrastructure; having to record both 32- and 64-bit packages, and the need to know which can work together. I don't suppose there's any infrastructure for simultaneously installing two versions of a port Not at the moment, I think.

WEP at home
Dear FreeBSD,
I am hoping that I can get your help connecting to a wireless WEP network
connection. The
connection is in my home. First off, I would like to say that I HAVE read the
man pages, the
handbook and The Complete FreeBSD. Everything up until now has been pretty
straight
forward. (I was able to figure out how to pipe my screen output into a file on
my non
automounting dos partition).
There must be something basic that I'm missing or not understanding.
I'm running v. 6.3, standard installion.
Here is what I am typing, the output and the contents of my conf files.
ifconfig ath0 up scan
SSIDBSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS
Laureen 00:1a:c4:09:65:616 54M 18:0 100 EPS
/boot/loader.conf
wlan_wep_load=YES
/etc/rc.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas --
# Wed Aug 13 00:27:32 2008
# Created: Wed Aug 13 00:27:32 2008
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf
keymap=us.iso
usbd_enable=YES
#WIRELESS
ifconfig_ath0=authmode open wepmode mixed DHCP
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid=Laureen
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=1
wep_key1=1013304023
}
wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with 00:1a:c4:09:65:61 (SSID='Laureen' freq=2437 MHz)
Associated with 00:1a:c4:09:65:61
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:1a:c4:09:65:61 completed (auth)
CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received
At this point I thought I was good to go. When I attemped to ping the outside
world
(yahoo.com), I was told that ping could not resolve the address.
At first I thought I maybe needed to run namedb, but my reading told me that I
only need it
if I'm planning on serving DNS info.
netstat -r
Routing tables
Internet:
DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire
link#2 UC 00 ath0
localhost localhost UH 04lo0
... etc.
At this point you're probably thinking that I have to wrong key or something.
In Windows XP
the key works and Win tells me that the link is WEP, OPEN, created with DHCP.
I've connected to this network before by doing something very similar, only I
can't remember
what I did. Then I had to reinstall FreeBSD because I didn't give it enough
space on my
harddrive. I've tried slightly different configurations without success.
Thank you a million!
Chris Chambers

It is probably technically possible. However: when jumping major versions, my advice is always If possible, install from clean disk. I assume you mean install from a clean CD -- I did that, and it worked like a charm. And, for anyone else running v5.x who is considering upgrading to v7.0, this seems to be a very good way to do it. I downloaded and burned a bootonly.iso, and then ran the upgrade via [passive] FTP. Ten or fifteen minutes later, I was booting into v7.0. In either case: remember to save critical config files (rc.conf, the kernel config, sshd_config, the named directory, etc.) elsewhere. The fact that the upgrade worked proves that my backups are in good shape -- if they weren't, then the upgrade would have overwritten the system disk and then failed. ;-) __ Vince Sabio [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: SSH question
EdwardKing wrote: I use SSH to remote FreeBSD $ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] password: Then I SSh to suspend client in that remote machine: $~ /home/tom: Permission denied Permission denied? Why? How to do that? What happened here is that you were trying to type an escape code into ssh -- eg. ~^Z (suspend) or ~. (quit) However, '~' is actually a fairly common character in normal usage, so ssh will pass it through to the remote login session unless you get the escape sequence exactly right. The ~ character must be the first thing on a new line, and it must be followed by one of the known key codes, which you can list by using the ~? escape during a ssh session. It seems that you typed something wrong: perhaps you managed to type ~~ which means your shell on the remote machine would receive the ~ character. This it would duely expand to be the path to your home directory. It then tried to execute that path, but directories are not executable, resulting in the 'permission denied' message.
