Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your message. I checked up the list, which says that the
D1560 is indeed supported, but it also says that the minimum version
of hplip required for this is 2.8.5, while the latest port available
is 2.8.2.
Please check

Re: new package system proposal
Bob Johnson wrote: - reduced energy use for everyone. I think the difference in energy use would be so small as to be pointless. If I have a system that consumes 75 kilowatt hours per month, and I spend an extra 0.05 kilowatt hour per month updating ports, is the difference (less than 1/10 of 1 percent) really meaningful? I can't even measure my power usage accurately enough to detect the difference. Convince me to use three liters less hot water per month, and you will save more energy. How do you get the figures above? I measured electricity use for a typical 2 year old computer (excluding screen) as: - computer idling - 80 watts - computer working hard - 125 watts That's a diff of 45 watts. Suppose normally you use your computer 4 hours a day and it normally takes you 20 hours to upgrade your ports. You start the upgrade while using the computer but you leave it compiling for an extra 16 hours. Thats 4 hours at 45 watts plus 16 hours at 125 watts. Thats 2180 watt hours or over 2 kWh on top of your normal use for one port upgrade. However you jig the figures there is no escaping that cpu cycles use energy. Multiply by the number of times ports are upgraded per computer per year and the number of computers being upgraded and a package system seems like a worthwhile saving. (Thanks Colin Percival et al for freebsd-update, this aspect of it hadn't occurred to me) To complete your comparison if you used electricity to heat 3 litres of water from 15 degC to 55 degC you would use 0.139kWh.

I guess you could allow 5gb for each cycle, that's only 45gb for 6 months. If that is realistic a 500gb hard disk would store 5 years worth. Would anyone want a five year old package? I think a bigger drawback is the security issue. As soon as any package in the collection has a significant announced security flaw, you are faced with the choice of withdrawing the entire collection, withdrawing only that package, or leaving the flawed package out there for people to use because it is more convenient for them. Yes this might be an issue How often are there serious security issues with desktop type ports? PC-BSD seems to already keep up-to-date binary packages of their applications. Do they accomplish that by only offering a small subset of the full ports collection? A big difference with PBI's is that each PBI is self contained with all the files and libraries necessary for the installed program to function (quote from the website). Upside is that it is very easy to install and avoids dependency problems. Downside is that it requires more bandwidth to download and more disk space. I did wonder if it would make sense to just use the PBI system. The number of packages depends to some extent on individuals volunteering to make and maintain them - true FreeBSD style.

Kernel panic on disk timeout with 3ware controller
Hello, I am using FreeBSD 7.1 RELEASE on a system with a 3Ware RAID controller, the system resides on a RAID volume. I get kernel panics complaining about page faults, swap space and a drive timeout. This is, I think, due to a faulty disk. The 3ware controller detects a timeout, relaunches the disk and retries with success. This is, I suppose, invisible for FreeBSD. I am not experiencing problems with normal disk reads and writes, but when it happens on the swap space FreeBSD does mind, gives a timeout and panics. Can this behavior be changed? I am never on site and I would prefer a simple error message and not a kernel panic, I can change the disk with a hotspare remotely. Impossible when the server is down.

Re: sound configuration for pidgin

First, maybe mplayer is a bit heavy stuff for notification sounds. What are these files? If they are *.wav, use play %s command, and if they are *.mp3, use madplay %s or mpg123 %s, as well as ogg123 %s for *.ogg files. Check out the manpages for these programs if you think you need further options. But it's hard to hear the sound as pidgin's volume is small (while the system mixer is almost 100:100). Is there anyway to have a bigger sound in Pidgin? Check the other volumes as well. PCM should be 100:100, too. If vol == 100:100 and pcm == 10:10, it will be very silent. :-) Do other applications (music and movie player, games etc.) play louder sounds?

Would anyone want a five year old package? Yes, I would, because today's packages are sooo slooow. :-) Just as an unimportant sidenote: The FreeBSD OS is capable in gaining speed on the same (old) hardware with every release. So I can install it today on a 150 MHz P1 with 128 MB RAM without any problems, and it will run fast. But I cannot use today's applications on that system as I could the older ones, such as StarOffice, older Opera versions, older Mplayer versions, older X-Chat versions etc. because all of them depend on newer libraries (including, excuse me, bloat) that would render the system nearly unusable speed-wise (see the big jump in Gtk, compare usability and speed of X-Chat 1 vs. X-Chat 2, or the transition of Sylpheed from Gtk 1 toolset to Gtk 2 toolset). Disk occupation is, of course, another topic. If you've got only a 4 GB hard disk which could hold a fully functional and feature-rich system of FreeBSD 5, it's hard to achieve this with FreeBSD 7 and its set of applications because of the many dependencies (just have a look at how Gtk and Gnome stuff can fill your hard disk, maybe you want to use gmplayer only). A big difference with PBI's is that each PBI is self contained with all the files and libraries necessary for the installed program to function (quote from the website). Upside is that it is very easy to install and avoids dependency problems. Downside is that it requires more bandwidth to download and more disk space. Another problem is that if a minor (but important) library change appears that does require the update of the library, but not of the dependent applications, that new PBIs have to be built and installed, while the traditional way would suggest to update the library only. But I don't think customers of PC-BSD will be interested in such geek stuff. PC-BSD is fine for average users who install once, use then, update very few times. I did wonder if it would make sense to just use the PBI system. The number of packages depends to some extent on individuals volunteering to make and maintain them - true FreeBSD style. Allthough I prefer the traditional and well intended ways, I could live with PBI as long as there's an automated way to install them, read: command line, ability for batch processing.

Just a tip: since you use mplayer, as opposed to the default gstreamer, you can clear a *lot* of cruft from your system by reconfiguring the pidgin port and turning off the gstreamer option, re-installing pidgin, then uninstalling the gstreamer stuff. I find that the ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves port is execllent for such cleaning. Onto your question. I have two thoughts. First, make sure that /usr/sbin/mixer shows vol and pcm both at a a reasonable level. I find that 60:60 is usually sufficient for me, whether I used headphones or speakers.

Re: sorta newb help compiling samba
Just a small sidenote according to your shell script:
You're defining
# echo without newline
necho () {
echo $* | tr -d '\012'
}
Why don't you use echo -n which suppresses the newline instead
of involving another program to do something that echo can do
on its own? This is how FreeBSD does it in its system scripts.
echo -n Starting service...
start_service
echo done.
And according to
test -d /usr/bin || exit 0 # /usr not mounted
Woudln't it be more compliant to exit 1 to signal an error
due to /usr not being mounted? Exit code 0 is usually used
to signal that no error has happened (successful program
run), which isn't the case when the script is not (completely)
run.

Re: new package system proposal
Ok here's an improved description of how it works. The key to the whole thing is the snapshot of the ports tree. Everything else follows from that. Build process: A predetermined set of packages is built from a ports tree. The most benefit comes with packages which would acceptable for use with the default config and require a lot of compile time (large distfiles and/or lots of dependencies). This probably means xorg, window managers, desktop environments and applications plus dependencies and libraries. The ports tree is not updated during this process. The ports tree and package tarballs are made available online as a ports-snapshot which is tagged to identify it. The tag could be a text file with a date in it which lives in the snapshot directory. This cycle is repeated at some suitable interval, by taking a new ports tree and building packages for any ports that have been updated in the meantime. (The actual build process could be done by one of the ports-mgmt tools which would take care of only updating changed ports or ports whose dependencies had changed). The new packages and the ports tree used to create them are tagged as a new snapshot. How to use: For a fresh install a user installs FreeBSD then downloads the tagged ports tree. S/he can then install packages from the ports-snapshot knowing that everything is in sync versionwise. At this stage the selection of packages is down to the user (plus dependencies will automatically be pulled in). Additional ports that are not in the snapshot can be installed using the normal ports mechanism and they will automatically be in sync. For an existing install, when a new ports-snapshot is available changed packages can be installed using some utility (call it ports-update) which downloads and installs the ports tree and tag file from the snapshot, checks versions of installed packages and upgrades accordingly. People can choose to upgrade frequently or infrequently. By choosing a tag users can choose to upgrade to the most recent ports-snapshot or an intermediate one. At this stage the selection of packages to upgrade is by ports-update. ports-update compares the version of each installed package with the one in the ports-snapshot. If a newer version exists ports-update installs it. Any installed packages which are not in the ports-snapshot are ignored. If a user wants to install or upgrade ports which are not in the ports-snapshot this can be done with the standard ports mechanism. As the bigger ports are already available as packages in the ports-snapshot any additional ports will be relatively quicker to install by building from source. If a port is being installed or upgraded and it has a dependency which has been installed from the snapshot the dependency port will be the right version and the new port will integrate perfectly.

I actually have been watching that thread. I am intrigued by what you
are trying to do, but I think it's veering into the difficult to
maintain territory.
It's going a bit parallel to the discussion here and in fact you have
already offered some of the requirements,ie hosting
Would you be interested in incorporating the idea into what you are doing? I
could at least do some building of packages.
What specifically do you have in mind? A side project to the
FreeBSD pkg_add(1) tool or a separate collection of the Makefiles for
the ports tree?
One of the requirements is a new package management tool which I've called
ports-update. Does anyone here have C or scripting skills who would be
interested to write it? I'm sorry to ask, I know the FreeBSD way is to do it
yourself, but I don't have programming skills. I could probably knock up a

I have (very little) C skills -- I'm an OOP guy. I have less skill
with shell scripting. Either way, between ${REAL_JOB} and
${UNIVERSITY}, my free time is ... well... usually, not free.
If you are prepared to host a bunch of packages it would be interesting to
ask people to give us a list of their installed packages to create a master
list.
I'm more than happy to create space for this type of project, but keep
in mind -- the pkg_add(1) tool will grab binary builds of software
from the ports tree that is usually built with default options. What
about that one user that wants -DNO_NETHACK for sysutils/screen, or
the user (me) that has no need for IPv6 options enabled for most
things? This seems like an exact mirror of pkg_add(1) in how it
works, and IMHO would be impossible to keep a current (let alone
versioned) collection of packages with every possible compile-time
option.
Of course, unless I am misunderstanding your intentions.

Is there anyway to have a bigger sound in Pidgin? Thank you! I use the same method you do. Just a tip: since you use mplayer, as opposed to the default gstreamer, you can clear a *lot* of cruft from your system by reconfiguring the pidgin port and turning off the gstreamer option, re-installing pidgin, then uninstalling the gstreamer stuff. I find that the ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves port is execllent for such cleaning. I wil try. Knowing `pkg_cutleaves` is a bonus :P Onto your question. I have two thoughts. First, make sure that /usr/sbin/mixer shows vol and pcm both at a a reasonable level. I find that 60:60 is usually sufficient for me, whether I used headphones or speakers. I did this before configuring Pidgin. Second, the sound files you are using might simply be a bit low on the volume side. You may want to load them into something like audacity to increase their loudness. The problem is that I use Pidgin's default sound files. I cannot locate those files (pkg_info -L pidgin).

Hi Jerry, I think I would give some credence to the stated requirements on the site. The reason I raised the point was I know of people using D15XX (but where XX 80) with hplip versions well below 2.8.5, and HP now claims 2.8.5 to be the minimum for those printers too, as well as for a whole lot of printers which are known to work with hplip versions less than 2.8.5. If I am not mistaken, the hplip site blindly states 2.8.5 as the minimum requirement for all printers of this class. Maybe this is just a convenient way of doing things for HP rather than figuring out each printer's actual minimum requirement. In any case, did you contact the port maintainer about updating the port. If if doesn't get done before the port freeze, you will probably be screwed. Sure I did. Although the response was not was particularly thrilling : I am not sure when I'm going to get around to doing an update. If you want to take a stab at an update I'll be happy to review any patches, but you will probably need the newer version to get things working. -- Anish Mistry amis...@am-productions.biz My previous mail to freebsd-questions was marked as To by mistake. It was only intended to be a CC. Sorry. If you reply, please CC me separately. It makes it so much easier for me to reply, if needed. BTW, I have never used hplip/CUPS before. I do hope it's not terribly complex to setup and go. -- Thank you and Regards Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com +91-99830-62246 NB : Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer.
