I suspect I've been mistrained by Vim's subtle incompatibilities with

 No it does not. My display has 96 DPI and it is 12-15 years old and
 35 Kg.

Even that is pretty coarse nowadays.  This Mac does 1920x1200 on a
display approximately 370x230mm.  Which is 132dpi.

Even so, you still need special fonts to display clearly on screen:
unless the hinting is done very carefully, letter spacing will appear to
vary arbitrarily on anything below about 200dpi.  Sans-serif similarly
works well when there are fewer pixels per glyph.  However, once you
start printing, it's a different story.  Even a really cheap laser
printer will do 600dpi nowadays, and most are better than that.

Thanks,
Akash.




I take it a minicom is a external serial modem for internet access over 
the phone lines.


First off you better check if this is a windows modem.

Phone modems are manufactured for two target markets, MS/Windows 
(Winmodems) and every thing else. Winmodems are cheep because the 
hardware controller function is handled by the software you have to 
install into MS/Windows. This hardware controller function is normally 
contained in a chip on the modem circuit board. Winmodems are missing 
this chip and directs the modem to use driver software running in the 
MS/Windows system to perform the controller function. The most common 
Winmodem chips are manufactured by Lucent. There are many versions of 
this Lucent chip resulting in each chip version needing a different 
MS/Windows software driver version.


Up until version 4.4, FBSD did not have any solution to using Winmodems, 
but with the release of 4.4 the ports collection now contains the Linux 
Winmodem 'ltmdm' driver which was ported to FBSD. This port is very 
poorly documented, only works with a limited number of Lucent chip 
version, and can be somewhat unreliable. Your whole Internet connection 
is managed by your modem and trying to shoe horn a modem specially 
manufactured for the MS/Windows operating system into FreeBSD is not the 
way to achieve a satisfactory dialup Internet connection.




Plug the usb to serial converter into a usb port on the pc.
Plug the serial cable into the modem and the converter.
Power on the minicon, and boot your pc.
Check your boot messages for the address of the usb to serial converter
and use that address in your ppp config for dialing your ISP.

If you can't id the address you need, then post your boot message log 
here for next step in help. Use dmesg  boot.msg.file to get a copy of 
the boot log.

Is this due to running current?
If it is I will drop the issue right now, I just want to know for sure
before I spend hours trying to solve it.




It begins to look like GSSAPI is not in there.  GSSAPI is part of
world.  You may need to rebuild kerberos with GSSAPI support.  Are you
using the builtin MIT or the add-on heimdal kerberos?


I'm using the builtin. How do I rebuild kerberos with GSSAPI support, I 
though that was builtin by default in FreeBSD since 5.1 somewhere?


klist, kinit and kdestroy all works fine and I can authenticate against 
an Active Directory server, but I just cant get Apache to load the 
mod_auth_kerb module.


I just did a clean install of a FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE, and I have 
exactly the same error there so it's not related to running current.

What am I doing wrong?

Ah, okay. ugen is a generic device. I think you can't use that directly
if you have a usb-to-serial converter.

I guess you need to kldload a kernel module specific to your usb-to-serial
converter. For example something like uplcom, umodem etc. This would
create a new entry in /dev that you can use in minicom.

Permissions for those devices can be set in /etc/devfs.rules (and restarting
devfs with /etc/rc.d/devfs restart). You may also want to look at /etc/devd.conf

I'm not familiar with usb-to-serial converters, so I can't help more than that.
Others may have more experience there.

archivename

Cutting -f 2 will give you the remaining component.

% echo 'archivename-201006021514.34.tar.gz' | cut -d '-' -f 2
201006021514.34.tar.gz

To cut off the suffix (.tar.gz), consider using basename.

When you try to do the following inside a nullfs mounted directory,
where the nullfs origin is itself mounted via nfs you get an error:

# foo 
# tail -f foo 
# rm -f foo 
tail: foo: Stale NFS file handle
# fg

This is really a problem when running services inside jails and using
NFS as storage. As of [2] it looks like this problem is known for a
while. On a normal NFS mount this does not happen as silly renaming
[1] works there (producing nasty little .nfs files).

TIA,

This is why I don't consider ed the kind of abomination that edlin was;
it exists within a stronger command toolset so that it can actually be
put to good use.  Plus, y'know, there are also other editors available in
Unix systems these days, so I have something other than just ed available
for interactive editing.  When edlin was all I had available, and it was
stuck in the DOS world where there was nothing like a Unix shell to make
reasonable use of it, it was nothing but frustration.

 klist, kinit and kdestroy all works fine and I can authenticate against

SMBFS Question

I have DAGS and cannot find a good explanation for this, so if some kind
soul could help it would be appreciated...

I use FreeBSD (various versions/flavors) to connect to a USB drive
shared off a WinXP machine to write large backup files.  I mount this
using the SMBFS capabilities.  On a pretty regular basis, I see 
log messages in the form:

  smb_iod_recvall: drop resp with mid 30562

Completely jailed tinderbox?

2010-06-02 Thread Peter Cornelius
Dear list,

Has anyone ever succeeded to run a tinderbox in a jail who is willing to 
elaborate on the configuration because it's driving me NUTS. Happy to do that 
off-list and summarise later on.

Looks like neither NFS nor nullfs mounts would work in a jail which is breaking 
tinderbox builds. Sysctls are set to permit mounts etc.

Thanks,

Peter.

guys, i just found a truckload of Just Outstanding fonts.  at the
CTAN .org site there must be hundreds of these superb serif
typefaces.  in my /home/kline/ directory, i have a ~/.fonts
directory.  but it's been awhile since i've added to it.  what's
the magic to getting these tex-gyre fonts can use them?  i would
like these to be available for abiword, OOo, as well as my tex
packages. clues, please.   

the second question is that a few hours ago i reinstalled
something from /usr/ports/print, the lyx15 port.  i played around
with this only one time and would like this list's opinion of it.

i'll probably continue to typeset my manuscripts by hand the way
i was learning in the early 90's.  would still like the general
consensus on lyx and related.

tia,

Hmm i remember a 'game' where you opened a file
then predicted what would happen if you just typed
your name at the command prompt... then of course you had to do it
to see if your guess was right...

ie in vi

dwight would delete a word then insert ght 
 
destroyed the odd file or two i remember with the addition
of 'random' control key additions

Accounting Skills For Accounts Clerks  Assistants
 (by MR. Thye Foot Leong)
 (15– 16 June 2010)
 (Holiday Inn Glenmarie)

 OBJECTIVES

This course would enable accounting staff to understand and appreciate the 
steps performed in the accounting process and their contribution to management 
decision making.

In today’s computerized accounting world, accounting staff perform very 
specific duties as part of the accounting process.  They may be involved in one 
specific area like handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, 
cash book, etc.  As a result, they are often very focused in their respective 
areas of work that they may not be aware or knowledgeable of the other 
important areas in accounting.

With the advancement of computerized accounting packages, the accounting 
process is somewhat isolated and as a result these staff do not see the 
physical transaction actually taking place.  This may lead to a lack of 
understanding of the accounting process.  Knowledge in these other areas of 
accounting will enable the staff to contribute more effectively to the 
organization.

Hi es_MX internationalization needed.....

2010-06-02 Thread Eric De La Cruz Lugo
Hi to every one.

I  have been checking the mail lists and haven`t found information about es_MX 
localization, in Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and other Linux distributions this can be 
achieved by something like.


# locale-gen es_MX.UTF-8

# locale-gen es_MX
But on FreeBSD I can`t find any command or tool to perform this.

there is a es_ES locale on FreeBSD.

I thinked about generating the es_MX locale with a file like es_MX.UTF-8.src or 
something like that, without success this is beyond my expertise right now.

I need the es_MX because there is a postgreSQL database that MUST be encoded 
with the es_MX encoding, for a project am working on.
 
On KDE 4 on FreeBSD 8.0 I can changed the region to Mexico (es_MX), but I can't 
change my locale variables (LC_) on my command line terminal.

they look actually like this:


[cursos] ~ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
[cursos] ~

On other server i have OpenSUSE 11.2 and have this:  (the way a needed it).

edelac...@sgi:~ locale
LANG=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_TIME=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_NAME=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_MX.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
edelac...@sgi:~


How do i do this on FreeBSD 8.0 i386 or amd64?

Thanks in advance for your attention and help.

LIA Eric De La Cruz Lugo.

     Is there a way to make this conditional to do only if the laptop is

   Your script can check whether the AC power is on with:
  
          AC=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.acline`
          if [ $AC = 1 ]; then
                  exit 0          # or whatever, when on AC power
          elif [ $AC = 0 ]; then
                  :               # do whatever when on battery
          else
                  :               # AC/Battery state unknown ..
          fi
  
   You could try just logging all state changes for a while; from critical
   charging to charging to high to discharging to critical discharging, I
   think that's the lot .. you can also check hw.acpi.battery.life etc.
  
  
  Okay I will try a script like this one.

Let us know how it goes; it's clearer now from below why you need this.

   However, your system should do an 'emergency suspend' on critical low
   battery anyway .. usually set at 1% capacity but some BIOS will let you
   adjust that (see acpiconf -i0).  Only if suspend/resume works of course.
  
  
  It would be great if suspend/resume would works yes ! For the moment
  it's not the case :
  
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=i386/146715

Ah yes.  I guess you might have to try the freebsd-acpi list about that, 
after reading the ACPI debugging section of the Handbook, providing your 
dmesg and probably an acpidump of your ASL as shown there.

I don't know the current status of suspend/resume on amd64, nor anything 
about your HP Probook 4510s.  The freebsd-mobile list might be a better 
place to start, at least to ask whether anyone else shares your problem?

GNOME + sparc64

2010-06-02 Thread Christopher Dillie

Hello,
I have a Sun Ultra 10 running a UltraSPARC IIi 440MHz (64-bit/V9).  I  
currently have FreeBSD installed and I want to add GNOME, but when I  
type pkg_add -r gnome2 it returns the path to the FTP server and  
says, Package Not Found.  Is there GNOME for FreeBSD on sparc64?


Thank you!

 I have the exact same setup on other machines and it works perfectly,
 only difference is this ones running CURRENT while they track RELEASE.

 Everything compiles and installs nicely, but when I try to do a
 'apachectl start' I get this:

 Is this due to running current?
 If it is I will drop the issue right now, I just want to know for sure
 before I spend hours trying to solve it.

Hi John,

What is the output of 'ldd /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_auth_kerb.so'?
