 Any more than that is grounds for reporting the message to

 anyone that configures a mail server to send error notifications
 to an entire mailing list needs a) to spend some quality time
 studying the SMTP RFCs and b) to step away from the keyboard
 /now/ as they are clearly not competent to run a mail server
 on the Internet.

I've seen no indications of the bounces going to the list, only to
the sender (i.e. I posted 4 messages to freebsd-questions@ and got
back 4 bounces; I didn't get bounces that seemed related to anyone
else's posts).  However, it does look as if someone needs to teach
that mailserver about the Errors-To: header.

 Thoroughly recommend using relaydb(1) to teach your mail system
 where you've received spam from in the past and make sure it
 doesn't happen again ...

I let my uucp(!) upstream's Red Condor spam filter deal with that
sort of problem :)

FreeBSD install Error

2010-04-21 Thread Georghy

Hi folks,
I'm experiencing a problem when I try to install FreeBSD on a Virtual 
Server using KVM,
The first part of the installation was fine but after setting all the 
option (I use a custom installation of FreeBSD)

the installation encounter an error :
Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)
I tried to use alt+2 but it doesn't show any clue for that error
Do you know how should I fix it ?

multishell user profile

2010-04-21 Thread Erik Norgaard

Hi:

I need to create a user profile that works in different shells, 
particularly bash, csh and ksh. It seems that these does not read the 
same files and/or in the same order. So, how do I configure the shell 
profiles without configuring each shell separately?


Also, I can't find information if they use the same syntax, or what 
syntax they share so I can stick to that. Does POSIX specify any of this?


Thanks, Erik

RE: Kill via Cron...

2010-04-21 Thread mcoyles
 kill -9 `ps ax | grep backup | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`

And you don't have to remember grep -v grep if you remember to use ps 
axc (note the c), since arguments won't show up so the arguments to 
grep won't generate a false positive.


I'm actually trying to kill the following in one swep if they've taken more
than
8 hours to complete... :

62225  ??  DL 0:01.81 /sbin/dump -0 -auf - /usr (dump)

Have tried everything suggested thus far but nothing's done it as

Well, each shell reads different files for environment variables, etc.
So just have those files in ~/ and install the shells, then invoke them as

 Have tried everything suggested thus far but nothing's done it as
 effectively as the original command run at commandline... just trying to
 automate the process by having cron kill at 8am.

Hmmm is that because the system needs the resources for its usual
functions after 8am? Or because if it hasn't finished by that time, it
is clearly hung up and never going to finish?

In the first case, I'd suggest simply running the backup at very low
priority by renicing it to a high value -- it will run at usual speed
*unless* there is anything else that wants a CPU timeslice, when it will
be made to wait.

In the second case, fixing whatever is causing the hang would be a
better idea.  (Processes that are hung up trying to do IO may not
respond to signals very promptly which could explain some of your
difficulties.)  Unless you've got literally terabytes of content or are
trying to write to a ridiculously slow device, and assuming you start
the backup process at midnight, 8h is more than enough to backup most
hard drives.  Is your /backup partition on the *same* disk you're
backing up?  Or perhaps /backup is on the slave and /usr is on the
master of the same IDE bus?  Either of those could cause significant IO
congestion.  Other things to check for are filesystem corruption --
you'll need to take the machine down to single user, unmount the
partitions in question and run fsck(8) on them -- or hardware problems
- -- check the system log for any reports of trouble, try installing
smartd and see if it tells you anything interesting.  If your disk is
flaking out, then don't try and coddle it along: replace it ASAP.  Once
things have got to the state where errors are affecting the OS, for any
modern drive that indicates complete failure is imminent.

Cheers,

Matthew

PS. You'll get better results if you add -L -C 32 to the dump(1)
command line.  Should speed things up nicely as well.

lighten kernel

Hi everybody

I want to build a custom kernel, because my pc doesn't have much memory. 
So I would like reduce the size of the kernel load in the memory, to 
save her.
My question is, is it possible to save more memory, by removing the 
whole agp drivers, and keeping only the driver needed?

And so on for the rest of the drivers (sound, ...).drivers.

Please don't top post - it is bad form.

I think you may be confusing agp driver and video driver. The agp support 
in the kernel is for the agp slot on the motherboard chipset. If your 
motherboard uses an agp slot this is where an agp video card would be 
inserted. You would want this kernel support if such were the case.

Video drivers, on the other hand, are part of the Xorg installation. This is 
a third party software installed from the ports system. The all the others 
you mention are probably the myriad of video card drivers installed along 
with Xorg. For the most part, the bulk of this software is not kernel 
related; the exception(s) being certain kernel modules such as dri and 
nvidia. The all the others video drivers are not kernel related.

Sorry, but this does not make any sense to me. How are you trying to install 
FreeBSD on Linux? FreeBSD is an operating system, not an application.

 following the instruction I find that I can't open the website of
 www.fsmware.com to finish some download work. 

If you want to learn how to install FreeBSD you should start with The 
Handbook:

English: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

another alternative:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/zh_CN.GB2312/books/handbook/index.html

You may notice there is no mention of any downloading from www.fsmware.com. 
Perhaps the instructions you are trying to follow are incorrect? The 
Handbook might be better as it is the official documentation for FreeBSD.

 it seems that the dns server
 don't support the address in China Mainland. do you have any way to solve

Nope. It is a problem with government politics in China and not FreeBSD 
related.

It's quite simple, he wants to host a virtualized FreeBSD ontop of a

 Nope. It is a problem with government politics in China and not FreeBSD

Actually nothing to do with Chinese politics, the http server attached

There is/was a compatibility layer called termcap which has things like 
tgetent(), tputs(), etc.  You should be able to link that /usr/lib/libtermcap.a 
(or .so) in instead of libcurses, although it might just be a nickname for

Upgrade/Install in one command?

I would like to make my configuration management system update and/or
install packages on FreeBSD. I've been avoiding that little thorn
because I haven't had very many hosts and updates have been fairly
rare recently; but no more. (cfengine2)

Basically, I wish pkg_add would upgrade a package if it was already

missing. Neither seem to work.

How do you manage packages on a large number of FreeBSD hosts?

Currently you can not pick only intel agp code, agp module have

I made patch but it was never committed because it saves only few

Because bunch of new agp* modules are created it increase kernel size

PXE + sysinstall(8) install.cfg: DHCP Attribute to map install config/policy to system MAC?

2010-04-21 Thread Brian A. Seklecki (CFI NOC)

All:

  The install.cfg mechanism is pretty wicked.

  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a really efficient way
  to provide new clients (or class of clients) an install.cfg
  without rebuilding an MFSROOT image.

  At least with pxeboot(8), in TFTP-only-mode, using
  dhcpd.conf(5) client{} entries, there isn't a way
  to differentiate policies.

  It's just going to go looking for /boot/loader.rc
  and /boot/loader.conf from wherever DHCP told PXE
  to fetch pxeboot(8) from.

  From there, you need to custom compile a 5 meg
  mfsroot image for each [class of] client.

  With an NFS stage-2 boot, I suppose you could set:
option root-path /export/${client}Root etc.,
  but then your 5 meg mfsroot is just extracted
  1-per-client.

  Still seems a bit ugly.  It seems like we could teach
  sysinstall(8) to fetch install.cfg by some standard
  mechanism.

  Possibly a TFTP or NFS URL passed from the DHCP server
  - boot loader - kernel sysctl - sysinstall(8).

  For example, the Sun SPARC4s would TFTP fetch their
  stage 1 boot loader via TFTP with a filename req
  of their MAC address in HEX format, so one could
  just put symlinks in place.

Thoughts or other ideas?

~BAS

PS: our in-tree tftpd(8) is an unending source of sorrow and misery and 
clinical despair.   ports/net/freebsd-tftp is a lifesaver (it actually 
has debugging)

 Hi:
 
 I need to create a user profile that works in different shells,

 profiles without configuring each shell separately?

You can't - at least not very easily.

Of course, you can do as few shell initialisations per se
if you use things like login.conf to set environment variables
instead of manually setting them in the shell config.

The main problem is: The shells you mentioned to use different
formats for their configuration. For example, while you can use

set promptchars = %#
set prompt = %...@%m:%~%# 

for your csh, you have to use a different syntax in bash. The
same goes for aliases.

A chance to partially bypass this is to put as many customization
as possible into script-defined commands that you place in ~/bin
(and add this to $PATH).

Of course, this approach doesn't solve all imaginable problems.

As for reading order of configuration files, refer to the
manpages:

man csh
man bash
man ksh

You will see which files are accessed, and in which order, and
where you can put centrally managed profiles as well as user-
specific profiles.



 Also, I can't find information if they use the same syntax, or what 
 syntax they share so I can stick to that.

They don't use the same syntax. Maybe you'll find a good
comparison chart of shell syntax and capabilities. As stupid
as it may sound, you'll find some information here:

You can configure sysinstall in your install.cfg to execute shell 
commands, including any fetch-like command. Some scripting should be 
possible to do what you require. I wrote about it here:

OT: Goodbye and hosting wanted

2010-04-21 Thread DAve
All,

I will be unsubscribed to a lot of mail lists this week as my position
has been closed. I am uncertain I want to continue with IT.

I know some of you from as far back as my Userland Frontier and
HyperCard days. I want to thank everyone for their help and assistance
over the past 15 years. (Yes this is going out to several lists).

I will need to move my hosted domain, email, and DNS this week. I am
sure I could continue to host it with my employer but I would rather
not. I don't need much, less than a dozen email accounts, simple PHP or
perl, and DNS. My wife would like to start a LiveJournal or something
like it for her work here if a host can be found that supports that,
http://flickr.com/catchoftheday (Feel free to offer to purchase
something ;^). Now that I am unemployed, inexpensive would be nice. I am
open to suggestions for hosting services.

Today, my wife and I are going to play hooky and do nothing. Again,
thanks everyone.

   The two things that bite me the most often when switching shells are
   environment variables and aliases.  I keep most of my environment stuff
   in a single file ($HOME/.envrc) with entries like this:

  # Local time for RCS date information
  RCSINIT -zLT
  # Default file browser.
  PAGER less

   A small perl script converts this into sh- or csh-style commands, so I
   can just source the appropriate file from .bashrc or .tcshrc or whatever:

  me% cat ~/.envrc.sh
  # Local time for RCS date information
  RCSINIT=-zLT; export RCSINIT
  # Default file browser.
  PAGER=less; export PAGER

  me% cat ~/.envrc.csh
  # Local time for RCS date information
  setenv RCSINIT -zLT
  # Default file browser.
  setenv PAGER less

   Aliases are annoying because the syntax is inconsistent, so I only use
   those for inside-the-shell stuff like job control.  Small ~/bin scripts
   handle things like using dir instead of ls -lF:

  #!/bin/sh
  #dir: long directory listing; skip colors if running script/saveon.
  case $SAVEON in
  ) opt='--color=auto' ;;
  *)  opt='' ;;
  esac
  unset BLOCK_SIZE# throws off the results for GNU ls.
  exec /usr/local/bin/ls -lF $opt ${1+$@}
  exit 1

   Put the invariant stuff in the system startup files.  Something like
   this in /etc/profile would handle a general bash/ksh/sh environment:

  test -f $HOME/.envrc.sh  . $HOME/.envrc.sh

   If they're running under the same process groupid, then sending it a
   signal via killpg(2) would kill them all.  Two things that might help:

   * The default blocksize (Kb/output block) in dump used to be 10, but you
 could go as high as 64.  Check the -b option.

   * Use gzip -1q for speed at the cost of slightly less compression.
 compress -c also works very well on dump images, and it's fast.

festival forward?

2010-04-21 Thread Gary Kline


According to Alan Black there is a new beta release of the fest*
suites.  The festval group is asking fr installation issues
when they go from 2.0.95b to 2.1.  Seems like we've been at 1.95
for centuries.  Any plans to update all this stuff...??

How to update packages(ex. to recent KDE-4.3.5) without using the ports system?

2010-04-21 Thread Luca Renaud
I tried to update my system from KDE-4.3.1 (came in FreeBSD 8 install CDs)
to KDE-4.3.5( in updated ports system)
but it gives error during the compilation of QT related code(libpng.so not
found for compile of libQTsvg.so,or so).
Are there binaries for KDE-4.3.5 for updating my KDE to 4.3.5 version
without using the ports system?

acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd Message

2010-04-21 Thread B J
I have a Compaq Presario SR2180NX, which uses a P5LP-LE motherboard.

When I bought the machine second hand three years ago, I originally installed 
and ran FreeBSD 5.5 without the error message.  I recall that it began 
appearing after I installed and ran 6.3, though I don't think it did under 6.2. 
 I still receive the message now that I'm running FreeBSD 8.0.

I've looked at some of the ACPI code file and didn't notice anything obvious 
which might be responsible for the error message.  A quick solution I've used 
is running a file with:

hw.acpi.thermal.user_override: 0 - 1
hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10 - 1800
hw.acpi.thermal.user_override: 1 - 0

shortly after logging in as root.  The message still appears but not as often, 
though it doesn't fix the whatever causes the error.

I've installed FreeBSD on two different models of IBM ThinkPad without the 
error, leading me to believe that the ACPI code might not be completely 
compatible with the P5LP-LE motherboard.

My question is what to do next.  Is there a permanent solution to this or do I 
have to keep using the quick fix?

Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you.

BMJ

People using php in webpages are getting all kind of errors concerning
depricated functions

It there a way to specify somewhere something so that these funtions still
