kernel config
Hi, what controls how parts of kernel are built, that is, built-in or modular ? For example, I want to: - build a kernel that has eveything built in - build a kernel that has everything possible (what controls the impossible ?) built as modules - build a kernel that has mixed support, e.g. support for cd9660 fs built-in and ext2fs as module jb ___ 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
NVIDIA proprietary driver error
Hi, I'm going to install driver for nvidia 310M cuda enabled, but I have some problem with it. First I tried with Nvidia driver from ports, and then official driver from nvidia.com (It's name is NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-304.60.tar.gz). After running nvidia-xconfig I got this error: (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 304.60 Sun Oct 14 20:29:31 PDT 2012 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs (II) Primary Device is: (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found But aftre running Xor -configure and copy xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf finally I can start X server! wow! But problem is still exist in another way!

Re: laptop with no BIOS? or BIOS reflash pain
From cpgh...@cordula.ws Thu Oct 25 03:40:28 2012 Heh... ;-) (U)EFI is nothing new for us old farts: we've had OpenBoot[1] on Sun hardware for ages, and even though it didn't limit us w.r.t. the OS you wanted to boot (that's why you can install FreeBSD/sparc64 on used Sun machines), it had its issues too. Mainly that it needed a counter-part in hardware peripherals. E.g.: without F-Code in ROM, a PCI-based frame buffer wouldn't be usable there, because it wouldn't reply to the OpenBoot queries. The point is that firmware CAN be a mini-OS and more powerful than PC-BIOS. There's nothing wrong with that, and the flexibility of OFW/OpenBoot was for us sysadmins invaluable, esp. with diskless machines. What's wrong, is UEFI's DRM-scheme used to prevent non-signed code to be loaded... without mandating in the specs that the BIOS vendor MUST allow the device owner to add his/her own keys to it. That's the evil part of it. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware I'm probably missing something here. ia64 uses EFI, but there's nothing about checking for non-signed code. I can boot VMS, FreeBSD, linux, etc. And, by the way, firmware updates from EFI via e.g. USB flash drives is trivial on ia64. Perhaps what you are describing is not about the EFI specification iteself, but what different manufacturers add on top of it?

FreeBSD based, standalone, print server
Hi, The network card on my HP 4300 is definitely dead. All I am left with is a... parallel port! But the printer is still working fine, printing fast and in good quality. I don't want to invest in a new network card though, while I have a bunchg of old systems lying around. Solutions are: 1) I set-up a small FreeBSD box, with printer spooler, and all my quota stuff; 2) I find a solution to bridge the parallel port and the ethernet port. This is more exciting and I keep the quota and spooling on the original print server. Any cue for the option 2?

HI Warren The network card on my HP 4300 is definitely dead. All I am left with is a... parallel port! Just for clarity, is that the good kind of HP 4300, a laser printer, or the other kind, a multifunction inkjet? That's a good old fashioned HP LaserJet 4300 dt(n) (it has lost the n with the network ability). But the printer is still working fine, printing fast and in good quality. I don't want to invest in a new network card though, while I have a bunchg of old systems lying around. Solutions are: 1) I set-up a small FreeBSD box, with printer spooler, and all my quota stuff; 2) I find a solution to bridge the parallel port and the ethernet port. This is more exciting and I keep the quota and spooling on the original print server. Any cue for the option 2? Without a way to reprogram the firmware in the printer, you'll have to use a server on a computer. lpd(8) works, but your later post says you want to use port 9100. It should be possible to use something like nc(1) to receive raw data on port 9100 and just dump it to the parallel port. There will be little or no error handling. Thanks, that is what I am looking for. Best regards, Olivier Finding an EIO JetDirect would be better, if it is the right kind of printer. ___ 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 ___ 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

Hi Warren and thanks for your reply,
I've dug around some more and identified the problem we've been having.
Apparently, from a given netblock, we can't AXFR the . and arpa
zones anymore with F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
We can from some other boxes.
I suspect we might have been firewalled or something, although we
don't query them very often , but that's beyond the point.
I've now transitioned all our PF boxes to slave from
xfr.lax.dns.icann.org and xfr.cjr.dns.icann.org as per the
documentation found in /etc/namedb/named.conf
What bothers me is that the commented lines from named.conf say to use
the ICANN XFR servers, while the actual commented configuration uses
F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET

Re: Full system update.
The closest equivalent of `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` in FreeBSD is `pkg_upgrade -a`. This tool is a part of bsdadminscripts package. If you also wanted to upgrade a kernel, look at freebsd-update. But don't forget that in FreeBSD all is not so simple like in Debian. You have to monitor /usr/ports/UPDATING file and release notes for the new branches of FreeBSD. Last, and really not recommended at all, you could use the existing pkg_tools binary packages. This, however, is a trap for the newbies and leads to much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Especially if you try and mix stuff you compiled yourself and the pre-compiled packages. I've been successfully using binary packages (pkg_add -r ...) and ports in the same time for ~3 years. I don't wail and my teeth are OK. What am I doing wrong?
