UK Currency Symbol in 7.2 Console - A Question actually about FreeBSD

Re: UK Currency Symbol in 7.2 Console - A Question actually about FreeBSD
Hi, I use a Macintosh as client host, but this could be any computer as long as you have a working keyboard configured. My shell is bash (latest port version). In my .bashrc I have included the following: # Display quoted characters stty cs8 -istrip -parenb bind 'set convert-meta off' bind 'set meta-flag on' bind 'set output-meta on' Furthermore I have configured emacs (my favorite editor) to also handle UTF8 character and encoding In my .emacs: (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) This allows me to have all my characters encoded in UTF-8. One more interesting thing is the prompt (more fancy than really usefull): In .bashrc: case $TERM in xterm*|rxvt*) PS1=\[\033[01;33;33m\]\h \w -- \[\033[00m\] PS2='\u:\w ' ;; screen) #PS1='\e[1;31...@\h:\e[1;37m\w\e[1;31m\$\e[0;37m ' PS1=\[\033[01;36;36m\]\h \t \w screen $ \[\033[00m\] ;; *) PS1='\h:\w\$ ' ;; esac And the history search, still in .bashrc: bind '\e[A':history-search-backward bind '\e[B':history-search-forward Le 29 mai 09 à 08:54, Graham Bentley a écrit : Hello All, Im still struggling with this one and have tried all I could find by Googling lists and forums. @ and keys are fine as are every other key apart from £ symbol.

Nothing I have seen in 20 years equals the audacity of the EU. As long as no 'standard' no matter how arbitrary, stupid or counter-productive exists, they are in theory safe from the EU. Besides, nothing stifles development as tightly as being bound to an arbitrary 'standard'. What a breathtakingly stupid remark. The EU has acted against two companies (Microsoft and Intel) who have used illegal business methods to protect and extend their monopolies and suppress competition. Or are you suggesting that a format or protocol which is implemented by several different companies, allowing vendors to compete fairly on other grounds (price, features, quality, ... ) while protecting consumers by making it possible for them to move from one vendor to another, is somehow a worse idea than a proprietary format or protocol which is forced into a market-dominating position by illegal tactics such as paying manufacturers extra to incorporate it, or penalising them financially for providing competing products? If that's the case, why is no-one trying to use the courts to prevent the use of ODF, a published standard which is now used by several companies and Free Software projects to provide a common format for documents? Once a company dominates a particular market it's held to a different standard than other companies in that market - because the power of the monopoly can be used not only to prevent competition in the original market, but to extend the market domination into new markets, by techniques like product tying, distributing at below cost (effectively drawing subsidy from the original monopoly product) until competitors are driven out of business, and so on. Microsoft has been convicted of doing all these things, in US courts, in courts in Asia, and in courts in Europe. These are matters of fact, not opinion. Intel has been convicted of many of these things in courts in Asia and in Europe. The fact that the US system is too supine to take action against these companies doesn't make the EU ``arrogant''. Let's not forget why Unix took off and expanded the way it did: once upon a time the US courts did take antitrust seriously, and prevented ATT using its telco monopoly to expand into market domination of the computer business.

Re: On the need for moderated questions lists
It's just my opinion, time will show if i am right if they will not do this, and this list turn to 1% on topic. The only problem with that sort of reasoning is that the FreeBSD mailing list charters *have* been decided. but the decision MAY be changed. Of course - it may not, but there is nothing that prevent me from having an opinion about moderation and trying to explain to others that it make sense. There is a reason why freebsd-questions is open to everyone, including people who want to discuss things like ``How do I make my Windows boot loader launch FreeBSD?''. I am NOT asking for closing current list But adding moderated one. My impression from hanging around this mailing list for several years now (It's almost a decade now, geez! When did all that time pass?) is for over decade i use unix but unfortunately much shorter FreeBSD. that the openness and the all-around friendly character of ``If your question is even marginally related to a small part of FreeBSD and we can help, we'll do it'' is a valued and much-cherished attribute of the This way anything with any real question are difficult to get answers. It was for example common for my questions that 20 people answered with nonsense because they just are on the list as experts answering windows question. Fortunately sometimes i finally got an answer if someone knowing it got through the mess before. more often - not. list. A lot of the people who hang around here like it this way, and what you propose to do is such a radical change that it requires a *lot* of up-front work if you really want to convince anyone. Once again - i don't want that list to be closed. It's very possible that some people would like to look at both. On moderated professional ;) to get and answer FreeBSD-related question, and on this as a cool chat and place to talk about installing KDE if he/she like. You do have a point that there is a very thin line between ``being very helpful to new people'' and ``talking about irrelevant systems all the time'', The line can be clearly defined if rules will be defined. There are tons of other places when you can help people that way. And of course - that list that won't be removed. moderated list seems to be ``We have to do this or we are doomed to be flooded with useless non-FreeBSD posts''. We already all. volume of off-topic posts has any sort of upwards trend is to: (a) Define *precisely* and in very clear terms what you consider on topic and what you consider off-topic. OK. On topic is: - question about software made by FreeBSD team which is FreeBSD base system+ports subsystem. In ports subsystem i mean the set of scripts and patches that allows you to compile other programs, BUT NOT THE PROGRAMS itself. - questions about purely FreeBSD-specific and FreeBSD-dependend things of ported programs. For example: --- I start program X, configure it the same way as in linux, installed all the same modules, but here it crashes/behave differently. For example: --- here some output --- Where is a problem --- Off topic - it's all not being on-topic. (c) Go through the archives by year and/or month and keep statistics about things like: thread size, active posters per period, posts per period, off-topic/on-topic ratio of messages, and so on. already did. years ago the percentage of on-topic questions was much higher, as more and more often it's dissolved by questions about windows,KDE etc. This sort of approach would probably meet a lot less resistance, because it is repeatable by anyone who wants to verify your results, and it is based on the actual *data* of the mailing list itself, instead of a OK. nice idea. ___ 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

Re: Canon printer and TurboPrint
The EU has acted against two companies (Microsoft and Intel) who have used illegal business methods to protect and extend their monopolies and suppress competition. This is just the occasion to get another tax by UE clerks. As Microsoft and Intel just pay a fine, and doesn't really change their behaviour, it's just tax that final users pay. Anyway i am against any such regulations. Free Market is a best regulator. As people DO LIKE their products and the slavery by using them - their problem. It would be much better of removing things that are against free market rules, software patents are perfect example. But as most of the world (lead by UE) goes back into socialism, that heroicly fights problems it creates, it won't happen. Or are you suggesting that a format or protocol which is implemented by several different companies, allowing vendors to compete fairly on other grounds (price, features, quality, ... ) while protecting consumers by making This is a proper idea. But both doing this, and not doing this, is not matter of any clerk, politician or king, but of people choice and free market. People should choose if they want to use open standards and be independent, or use closed standards and become slaves. As some people like to be slaves, there are no reason to forbid it. extra to incorporate it, or penalising them financially for providing competing products? The worst thing of UE (and other government) is that they are putting their dirty hand into free market at all. If that's the case, why is no-one trying to use the courts to prevent the use of ODF, a published standard which is now used by several companies and Free Software projects to provide a common format for documents? maybe yet? but yes - i think the first poster exaggerated things. UE doesn't (yet?) fights with open standard. They even say they are promoting it. Of course best they can do is not to do anything. Microsoft has been convicted of doing all these things, in US courts, in courts in Asia, and in courts in Europe. These are matters of fact, not opinion. Government in Asia just do the same - another source of taxes. If they would like to really punish MS, fines will be much higher and MEANINGFUL to microsoft. off and expanded the way it did: once upon a time the US courts did take antitrust seriously, and prevented ATT using its telco monopoly to expand Or maybe it solved problem it created - software patents that existed in US already, and prevented BSD to be spread and improved?!

As it's not commercial and not being sold. It already lives very fine in it's market niche.

Decent, network-capable, PostScript printers do not have to be costly. I bought a Samsung ML-2571N at Fry's for something like $60(US) a year or two ago. All I had to do was plug it into the network, add its IP address to /etc/hosts, add a suitable entry to /etc/printcap, and lpr just works. No need to bother with CUPS. Granted the ML-2571N is monochrome and Samsung's color printer did not support PostScript last I knew. For color, I got a Xerox printer or a few hundred US$ a while back. Like the Samsung it has PostScript, networking, and lpd support built in; another pair of /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap entries and lpr just works for it also. ___ 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

Re: UK Currency Symbol in 7.2 Console - A Question actually about FreeBSD
On Fri, 29 May 2009, Graham Bentley wrote: Hello All, Im still struggling with this one and have tried all I could find by Googling lists and forums. @ and keys are fine as are every other key apart from £ symbol. Can anyone suggest ways to track this down. At 'Login:' I can actually get £ but after loging I get a beep? I have tried various fonts and maps to no avail. Any suggestions / pointers, even an RT[URL]FM or useful flame appreciated. All these remarks apply to the console (and virtual ttys) not xterm or other terminals in X. First, you must have a font with £ in it. It seems you do if you ever see this character, but for the record your most likely choices are iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 (also has the Euro symbol). It is best to load these at boot in three sizes: These lines in /etc/rc.conf font8x14=iso-8x14 font8x16=iso-8x16 font8x8=iso-8x8 will load iso-8859-1 and these font8x14=iso15-8x14 font8x16=iso15-8x16 font8x8=iso15-8x8 will load iso-8859-1 There are applications that will help you to edit a font, but that is beyond the scope here. remember, in /etc/rc.conf, when the same item is set multiple times, the last entry wins, so it is best to read this file from the bottom and add at the bottom. (Do not edit the master file in /etc/defaults.) You can see what fonts are on your system and try one out temporarily using the vidfont command. Second you must set your TERM variable to something compatible. You do this in your shell login scripts. You can do this for everyone using the same shell in /etc or per user in the dot file in the home directory of the user. Consult the man page for your particular shell. This works for bash in /etc/profile or in the user's .profile: TERM='cons25l1' export TERM cons25l1 is for an 80x25 console using iso-8859-1. It also appears to work for iso-8859-15. If you have a different number of characters (than 80) or a different number of lines (than 25), select something appropriate from /usr/share/misc/termcap (there may be symbolic link to it from /etc/termcap). DO NOT EDIT THE TERMCAP. Finally you need to select an appropriate keyboard from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps and be sure it is entered in /etc/rc.conf. Your main choices would seem to be uk.iso-ctrl.kbd and uk.iso.kbd. Both of these have £ at shift-3 (above the letter keys, not on the numeric keypad). You can try out keyboards with the keymap command. this should be in your /etc/rc.conf keymap='uk.iso.kbd' (or the other one, if you choose it. Remember, the LAST assignment to keymap in /etc/rc.conf wins) Keymaps are exceeding easy to edit in FreeBSD, which is one of the reasons I use FreeBSD instead of one of the many linux distros I have tried. If you want to give it a try, I suggest you back it up first. cp uk.iso.kbd uk.iso.kbd.dist will do. Then to use your edited map enter keymap='uk.iso.kbd' Here are a few lines from uk.iso.kbd: # alt # scan cntrl altalt cntrl lock # code base shift cntrl shift altshift cntrl shift state # -- 000 nopnopnopnopnopnopnopnop O 001 escescescescescescdebug esc O 002 '1''!'nopnop'`''`'nopnop O 003 '2'''nulnul'@''@'nulnul O 004 '3'163nopnop'#''#'nopnop O 005 '4''$'164164'4''$'nopnop O 006 '5''%'nopnop'5''%'nopnop O The character code for £ is 163. You get that from shift-3 (using the 3 from above the letter keys, not the numeric keypad). The character code for the Euro sign is 164. You should be able to see that you get that from cntrl-4. If you had more use for that than $, you could switch them by editing line 005 to read: 005 '4'164'$'164'4''$'nopnop O If you have an edited keymap you like, keep a copy in a safe place (like your home directory) in case it get stomped when you upgrade your system. If you do not have root access, you can change keymaps with kbdcontrol, and you could change fonts and video modes with vidcontrol. (See the man pages for each if you are interested.) You could put these in the dot file for your particular shell to have them take effect when you login. You can even change these on a per-application basis by using a shell script to launch particular applications. This might be useful, for example, if you had applications that do not look right without the IBM box-drawing characters. You could use vidcontrol in a script to switch to cp437 before calling the application and to switch back afterwards. Fortunately many applications these days know what to do or can be configured to do the right thing without such drastic measures. -- Lars Eighner

Nothing I have seen in 20 years equals the audacity of the EU. As long as no 'standard' no matter how arbitrary, stupid or counter-productive exists, they are in theory safe from the EU. Besides, nothing stifles development as tightly as being bound to an arbitrary 'standard'. What a breathtakingly stupid remark. The EU has acted against two companies (Microsoft and Intel) who have used illegal business methods to protect and extend their monopolies and suppress competition. Or are you suggesting that a format or protocol which is implemented by several different companies, allowing vendors to compete fairly on other grounds (price, features, quality, ... ) while protecting consumers by making it possible for them to move from one vendor to another, is somehow a worse idea than a proprietary format or protocol which is forced into a market-dominating position by illegal tactics such as paying manufacturers extra to incorporate it, or penalising them financially for providing competing products? The concept behind the EU is socialism, pure and simple. It attempts to create an artificial playing field that allows the incompetent to compete with the motivated. It forces those who create new technology to share it, usually sans monetary compensation, with common bottom feeders. A free, open market is the way to encourage development and new ideas and technology. Not some pathetic, socialistic concept. If that's the case, why is no-one trying to use the courts to prevent the use of ODF, a published standard which is now used by several companies and Free Software projects to provide a common format for documents? Once a company dominates a particular market it's held to a different standard than other companies in that market - because the power of the monopoly can be used not only to prevent competition in the original market, but to extend the market domination into new markets, by techniques like product tying, distributing at below cost (effectively drawing subsidy from the original monopoly product) until competitors are driven out of business, and so on. A company has the right to disperse their product as they see fit. I know a socialist like you finds that abhorrent; however, it is never the less true. Tell me, if I wanted to sell you a $300 thousand dollar Ferrari for $10, would you: A: complain to the police or what ever legal authority you feel so fit to complain to; B: slam $10 in my hand in a heart beat? I think we know the answer. You are a hypocrite. Has it ever occurred to you how a company grows and becomes successful? I know, in your world it is by using the Government to squash competition; however, in a truly free society, it is by hard word and giving the consumer what they want at a price they are willing to pay. Basic business 101. Microsoft has been convicted of doing all these things, in US courts, in courts in Asia, and in courts in Europe. These are matters of fact, not opinion. Intel has been convicted of many of these things in courts in Asia and in Europe. The fact that the US system is too supine to take action against these companies doesn't make the EU ``arrogant''. Let's not forget why Unix took off and expanded the way it did: once upon a time the US courts did take antitrust seriously, and prevented ATT using its telco monopoly to expand into market domination of the computer business. The spinelessness of the American court system is that they do not take legal action against European countries that practice reverse discrimination, or the outright breach of copyright laws, etc. I know, you socialists also abhor copyright laws. The concept of an individual actually benefiting from his/her hard work and not having to share it with every scum sucker who comes begging at his door disturbs you. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com All God's children are not beautiful.

CUPS isn't extra software in my opinions. CUPS is a PITA, but it may nevertheless be the least bad solution if one is stuck with a junk printer. i really have nicer things to do that fighting with winprinter, when i can get normal printer for really low price. Decent, network-capable, PostScript printers do not have to be costly. I bought a Samsung ML-2571N at Fry's for something like $60(US) a year or two ago. All I had to do was plug it into the network, add its IP address to /etc/hosts, add a suitable entry to /etc/printcap, and lpr just works. No need to bother with CUPS. postscript printers are easiest, but PCL as not much more difficult, just write simple filter using ghostscript. Even not write - just modify existing examples like below #!/bin/sh # # ifhp - Print Ghostscript-simulated PostScript on a DesJet 500 # Installed in /usr/local/libexec/hpif # # Treat LF as CR+LF: # printf \033k2G || exit 2 # # Read first two characters of the file # read first_line first_two_chars=`expr $first_line : '\(..\)'` if [ $first_two_chars = %! ]; then # # It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it # /usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- - \ exit 0 else # # Plain text or HP/PCL, so just print it directly; print a form # at the end to eject the last page. # echo $first_line cat printf \f exit 0 fi exit 2 ___ 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
pppoe routing problem, default route isnt used for some hosts
Hello,
I have an strange routing problem. I can't connect to some hosts in the
internet till I add an explicit route for this hosts with my default gw
as gateway.
There aren't any other routes that could match the destination IP for
non-working hosts. So the connection should also without an explicit
route for this Hosts use the default gw.
My Setup:
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE
mppd to make an PPPOE connection to my internet service
provider.
PF as firewall
To isolate the problem I used an minimal pf.conf:
---
inetif=ng0
lanif=vr0
scrub all max-mss 1492
pass quick on lo0 all
pass out on $inetif proto { tcp udp icmp } all keep state
pass on $lanif from any to any
---
I also tried pppd instead of mppd(dont helps).
Hosts that I can't connect to, are ie spiegel.de, tagesschau.de, freebsd.org
southparkstudios.com
I.e
TCP connections to Port 80 of southparkstudios.com dont work.
If I add an explicit route:
route add southparkstudios.com 213.191.84.199
Connections with nc to port 80 works
(the connections tests are made from the router, the iface MTUs are correct)
Anybody have an idea what could be wrong?
I have no idea anymore
(its also not an provider problem, when i made the pppoe connection from
windows I can connect to alls hosts)
thanks for any hints:)
best regards
Fabian

Of course after reading documentation and trying to learn myself. Lets compare it to many other people with different and more common expectations.

Re: Canon printer and TurboPrint
The concept behind the EU is socialism, pure and simple. It attempts to unfortunately yes. and i'm so unfortunate to live here. Strange enough Poland are fortunately very behind in this at least under current government, but the question is how long... feeders. A free, open market is the way to encourage development and new ideas and technology. Not some pathetic, socialistic concept. Free means everybody will decide if to share ideas and work or not, instead of beaurocratic parasites deciding for them. If anyone thinks that there will be no sharing then - welcome to FreeBSD :) IMHO Really good deal of code in this system is something that people wrote themselves because they needed for their business, and then gave it back without any force. am i right? A company has the right to disperse their product as they see fit. I know a socialist like you finds that abhorrent; however, it is never the He fortunately isn't dangerous socialist, just repeating what he learned from constant propaganda. nothing else. Those who tell similar ideas just because he want to get into politics or become a clerk to get easily money - are bad but still not as dangerous. The really dangerous are those who really truly believe in that shit and do everything to make it happen. In computer world Richard Stallman is good example with his GNU ideas and communist licence. Developing things under GNU licence is complete waste of time, as less and less companies will use it's product. Does it make sense that - for example - i develop quite complex software/hardware and just used some simple part of GNU code to save time and not reinvent a wheel - and then i have to share ALL MY WORK, including my trade secrets? No it doesn't, i would rather seek for BSD licenced things, use it, then contribute back any improvement i made to it.

The 'mess' you are basing the rest of the arguments on is an unproven hypothesis until you go through all the trouble of proving it. I, for example, do not consider the current freebsd-questions a 'mess' by any far stretch of imagination. I like the people who hang out here and explain what amusing and wonderful things they can do with FreeBSD. I have even learned new and exciting things by simply lurking here and watching the replies others are giving.

Note that this is going to be a bit tricky though. A great percentage of the posts in this very same thread may fall in the 'off topic' category you are trying to describe. Many of them have been sent by none other than the person who defines this particular notion of off-topic-ness: you again. It may be worth stopping for a moment to think about it. If this very same list was one that matches what you describe you would have *never* been free to post a great deal of the messages you are posting now. Would you choose to subscribe to it then? Would you still enjoy being a party in the collective group of people who post on this discussion forum? If the answer is 'no', then it means your ideal state of this list is a bit less than 'ideal', because it would fail to satisfy even you, the one who defined this ideal. If the answer is 'yes', then it means that you actually enjoy being free to post in a discussion forum that is open to all sorts of FreeBSD topics, as long as they have even the smallest semblance of a question (i.e. one valid question is then 'What is FreeBSD and why should I prefer it over Linux?'). But if the openness of the list is actually a nice attribute, then the effort to close it down or to introduce a less enjoyable form of a list for general FreeBSD questions is a bit wrong. It's really a very strange argument the one you are trying to make, and you haven't even *started* to prove that there is a 'mess', to base it upon. ___ 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

Seems like this would work to add a space only to lines where the next
line only has a new line :
sed ' /\}$/ { N /}$\n\n/ { s/\}$\n/\} $\n/} } ' file
If the possibility exists that the new line might have spaces as well,
you could do this:
sed ' /\}$/ { N /}$\n\n/ { s/\}$\n[ ]?/\} $\n/} } '
Note: I haven't tested this, so it may require some modification. Read
this page on dealing with multiple lines in sed to gain further
understanding - http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
Hello Paul,
After reading the sed document, the following worked for me :
sed '

Don't get me wrong, please: I do not like CUPS, and I don't use it (I prefer apsfilter). CUPS requires too much dependencies that I don't have any use for. But regarding its alternatives... there are none. Those modern# printers can usually only get to work using CUPS, because apsfilter doesn't support the most modern printers, has no support for PPD files (as far as I know, never needed it), and the printers itself cannot be made confirming to standards. Decent, network-capable, PostScript printers do not have to be costly. I didn't say they have. It's always a question of the printers quality (how good it works, how long it works) and the amount of toner they come with; for inkjet stuff, criteria are similar (allthough I don't know an inkjet printer with PS and network). Even used stuff, therefore cheap, is still of high quality. I bought a Samsung ML-2571N at Fry's for something like $60(US) a year or two ago.

Re: Canon printer and TurboPrint
But regarding its alternatives... there are none. Those modern# printers can usually only get to work using CUPS, because apsfilter there are. don't use these modern printers. Of course not all of them. It's natural that you buy hardware that will be supported by software you use. CUPS is like workaround for me. Decent, network-capable, PostScript printers do not have to be costly. I didn't say they have. It's always a question of the printers postscript printer is the simplest solution. anyway - they MAY NOT print every page because they have limited hardware capacity and may be not able to process overcomplex postscript files. Possibly not a big deal today as their capacity is better than before, but in case of problems you may use ghostscript as ps-to-ps filter. quality (how good it works, how long it works) and the amount of toner they come with; for inkjet stuff, criteria are similar Unless you need to print no more than 10 pages a month, i recommend against buying any inkjet printer. They are incredibly costly to use, even when being damn cheap to buy. Done the same with HP Laserjet 4000 duplex - it even received an IP automatically via DHCP, so I just had to arp -a and edit /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap. The lpq / lprm tools seemed to operate on the printer server inside the printer. For non-ethernet printers like my laserjet 4 there are often available original print server modules for them for really nothing (i paid 10$) if not, and you need ethernet connectivity, then this http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=50pl1_id=7pl2_id=34 is a perfect choice. i recommend it for every unix user. As they are advertised as mostly for windows, i actually found configuring it under unix very simple exactly as you said (/etc/printcap), while incredibly complex under windows ;) ___ 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

The situation SHOULD not change; the question is just: How can we (the EU) get some money out of this situation, and maybe repeat it at another time (which requires that nothing changes)? The government is always a SOURCE, not solution to a problem. I may illustrate this with an example from Germany: Politicians, accompanied by their counselors from the industry, released rules about what software to use in schools and in professional schools, in ministries, in executive organs. This choice is always Windows (allthough obviously outdated versions), and only in the mission critical fields mainframes are used (IBM mostly, and Siemens). This leads to two important facts: 1. Children who learn in school do only learn Windows. They get knowledge that they can't use on more modern Windows systems anymore. Example: In school they have Windows 2000 with Word '97. Then, they encounter Windows XP with some newer Office (in worst case, the one with that strange GUI concept). 2. Educational companies who educate professional pupils (in preparation for a job) are explicitely regulated which Windows to use. They get money if they meet the requirements. This money, of course, comes from taxes (and I'm sure you know where taxes come from). As soon as a company would say, We want to prepare our pupils for the growing importance of Linux and UNIX in the corporate world, so we want to offer a class for Linux beginners, they would get no money for it (allthough Linux itself is free of charge, PCs aren't). In these settings where Windows is used, there's almost no one who can administer the systems nearly correctly. This is because of the misbelief that Windows administers itself. In some cases, the maintainers of the PC classes even don't bother installing expensive MICROS~1 products that they got a pirated copy of on 30 PCs. The teachers sometimes even don't have a clue about what they should teach. Pupils leaving these edicational companies treat PCs like worse typewriters and usually aren't able to use any kind of text processing software halfways properly. When they enter a job, they recognize that they haven't learned anything useful. Nobody cares.

As far as I understood, it is. Driven by a text-mode menu, it lets you select printer by category and then uses gs to generate the input fed by an application into the printer's language. It helps to utilize the system's printer spooler. You can make settings regarding quality, printer connection, printer name, and other stuff. It's quite simple and easy to use, in the case you don't want to get hands dirty with /etc/printcap. :-) Anyway, it allows you to do something that CUPS won't: It lets you install a printer that is not attached to the system.

Nothing I have seen in 20 years equals the audacity of the EU. As long as no 'standard' no matter how arbitrary, stupid or counter-productive exists, they are in theory safe from the EU. Besides, nothing stifles development as tightly as being bound to an arbitrary 'standard'. What a breathtakingly stupid remark. The EU has acted against two companies (Microsoft and Intel) who have used illegal business methods to protect and extend their monopolies and suppress competition. Or are you suggesting that a format or protocol which is implemented by several different companies, allowing vendors to compete fairly on other grounds (price, features, quality, ... ) while protecting consumers by making it possible for them to move from one vendor to another, is somehow a worse idea than a proprietary format or protocol which is forced into a market-dominating position by illegal tactics such as paying manufacturers extra to incorporate it, or penalising them financially for providing competing products? The concept behind the EU is socialism, pure and simple. It attempts to create an artificial playing field that allows the incompetent to compete with the motivated. It forces those who create new technology to share it, usually sans monetary compensation, with common bottom feeders. A free, open market is the way to encourage development and new ideas and technology. Not some pathetic, socialistic concept. If that's the case, why is no-one trying to use the courts to prevent the use of ODF, a published standard which is now used by several companies and Free Software projects to provide a common format for documents? Once a company dominates a particular market it's held to a different standard than other companies in that market - because the power of the monopoly can be used not only to prevent competition in the original market, but to extend the market domination into new markets, by techniques like product tying, distributing at below cost (effectively drawing subsidy from the original monopoly product) until competitors are driven out of business, and so on. A company has the right to disperse their product as they see fit. I know a socialist like you finds that abhorrent; however, it is never the less true. Tell me, if I wanted to sell you a $300 thousand dollar Ferrari for $10, would you: A: complain to the police or what ever legal authority you feel so fit to complain to; B: slam $10 in my hand in a heart beat? I think we know the answer. You are a hypocrite. Has it ever occurred to you how a company grows and becomes successful? I know, in your world it is by using the Government to squash competition; however, in a truly free society, it is by hard word and giving the consumer what they want at a price they are willing to pay. Basic business 101. Microsoft has been convicted of doing all these things, in US courts, in courts in Asia, and in courts in Europe. These are matters of fact, not opinion. Intel has been convicted of many of these things in courts in Asia and in Europe. The fact that the US system is too supine to take action against these companies doesn't make the EU ``arrogant''. Let's not forget why Unix took off and expanded the way it did: once upon a time the US courts did take antitrust seriously, and prevented ATT using its telco monopoly to expand into market domination of the computer business. The spinelessness of the American court system is that they do not take legal action against European countries that practice reverse discrimination, or the outright breach of copyright laws, etc. I know, you socialists also abhor copyright laws. The concept of an individual actually benefiting from his/her hard work and not having to share it with every scum sucker who comes begging at his door disturbs you. Whoa.

Re: Canon printer and TurboPrint
Anyway, it allows you to do something that CUPS won't: It lets you install a printer that is not attached to the system. Yes, I know, sounds stupid. :-) nothing stupid. As CUPS (and lots of modern software) is based on windows-like philosophy even if runs on unix, it's quite natural. Someone decided that the right steps of installing driver is to connect printer and then install, so user HAVE TO FOLLOW the steps. Any departure is simply bad, as main windows-like philosophy theorem is that user are not allowed to think, because of the danger he/she will become a master of his/her own computer, while making him a slave is a target. Only those who are slaves of their own computer, and programs they use, will constantly need help and pay for it. ___ 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

libthr vs lipbthreads
Is there any sort of consensus on the better choice between these two libraries? I'm running an app (nTop) on 6.0 RELEASE and have sometimes odd behavior and performances issues with libpthreads. I recently switched the libthr, but I'm not sure if the issues are the app code itself, or the way FBSD does threads and scheduling. Apparently these issues are isolated to FBSD and Linux, Solaris, etc. work fine? Also thought about using Linux threads, but too much hassle compared to creating libmap.conf and restarting. Any thoughts, insights, etc. would be great.

Producing Bad Dumps
I use the following flags to create a level 0 dump: dump 0ufaL /home/backups/backup /dev/DISKPARTITION The dump appears to run just fine. /home/backups/backup is a pipe to a remote system that fills a regular file from the pipe. Everything seems to run well at the time and the dump file has gigabytes of data in it. I can restore many files from it and all seems well. Today, I practiced restoring a whole system from one of these dumps and used the following command: restore -u -fx FILENAME It prompted for the volume number which is 1 (100% of the dump) and then I entered none when prompted for the next volume. That was about an hour ago and it is still spewing out the names of thousands of files, many of them OS-related such as /usr/src/xx which were not being modified or created at the time so if any files should be there, these should. Any idea as to what I did wrong? At this point, it is not certain whether the dump is bad or the restore is bad, but it isn't exactly confidence-en spiring if the system in question was to melt. No file systems filled up and the pipe isn't taken down until the dump has finished, at least that is what I believe to be the case. Any suggestions are welcome. Actually, for this test, I pretended that a directory on the system called scratch is / so I am just testing the ability to restore what should be everything under / before actually trying this on the real / because after that, you must rebuild the system from CDROM for a proper test.
