FreeBSD zip drive install
Configuring a zip drive. I have a FreeBSD 4.4 box that works fine with Zip drives. I have another 4.4 that I can't get to configure the /zip drive. I am now building the box using 4.9 and can't get the zip drive to work on it either. snd module installs and works fine BTW on all three boxes. The error messages I get are /dev/da0s4 Device not configured. and trying to unload the kernel module to reload it gives the same message. da0* shows up under /dev when you cd /dev Is there another way to assure that the detection is being made? I see an error under dmesg now: vpo0 IOMEGA drive Parallel to SCSI is detected on ppbus0 vpo0 EPP mode (seems OK.) BUT: vpo0: VPO error/time out (5) shows just before the last line of the dmesg file. Any idea what I should be looking for? I am doing this vpo install from old notes and I can't figure out what's causing the configuration failure. I also tried entering /etc/fstab parameters same as the other box that works. /dev/da0s4 /zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0 This IS the problem. The 3 da0 entries that show up on the 4.4 box dmesg that works do not show up on the other 2 boxes. da0 at vpo0 bus0 target6 lun0 da0 : (iomega zip) da0 : 96mb Any of you FreeBSD guys know how to cure this?

Solution to Zip drive failed to install.
Solution to failed ZIP drive install The BIOs setting was the fault. I cleared it by disabling the BIOs internal motherboard settings and installing a printer card that I set to run at IRQ 7 - 0278 . This brought up the zip drive with no problem. Then I removed the card and reset the internal motherboard back to IRQ 7 and 0378. This brought up the zip drive with no problem. I did set also the BIOs to EPP. My original problem. I have a FreeBSD 4.4 box that works fine with Zip drives. I have another 4.4 that I can't get to configure the /zip drive.

Aloha Gary, Dell sudden death. In my experience means a hardware failure. EG: Two weeks ago I consulted for a friend in IT on a dead Dell server with the removable hard drives. It turned out to be a faulty back plate where the HD's fitted in so all 4 were not working. Dell had to send a replacement backplate to replace the bad one. If you can find anyone on a list with one of your type maybe they can help you. Dell doesnt always use the same hardware in the same model computer btw. Check all the cables and power supply connections and re-seat everything in the box.

Re: Severe instabilities and system lockups
David Jackson wrote: David Jackson wrote: I am still having severe problems with severe system instabilities with FreeBSD and have had these problrms in 7.1 and 8.0. The system randomly locks up, it appears applications lock up when they access the USb disk. Also, when accessing the USB disk, the entire system lockup often for minutes. Performance with accessing USB disks is horrendous,. it took 7 hours to copy a directory that was 200 MB. Any program that accesses the USB disk tend to freeze for minutes, and often the entire system becomes unresponsive for minutes. Overall FreeBSD here is characterized by severe instabilities, ive had better performance from Windows 98 systems. The fact that the entire system freezes up, this should not happen, a well designed system will not lock up the entire OS when accessing disk. Are there any diagnostic tools uch as getting a log of tranmissions on USB and probe it, ,or finmd out what code it is lockilng up on ?Has anyone else seen these problems with USB disks? Thank you for the reply to my concerns. I have been reading through them carefully. I seem to have also discovered that the lockup problems are not entirely due to USB issues. Many of them were being caused by an apparent problem with the swap system. I have two swaps, a file backed swap and a partition swap on the same disk. Apparently when having two swaps on the disk there are severe performance problems. FreeBSD needs to fix whatever is causing this thrashing problem. So far the lockups have seem to become much less severe since i have disabled the file based swap file. I may disable the partition swap but i do not know if it is possible to have the system boot with a file based swap only. Perhaps i can disable the partition swap after it boots. I am trying to copy a directory on the USB drive however and it does seem to be rather slow still. It started at 5:45 and is still going. I will see how long it takes. Again thanks for the help with these issues ___ I dont think its a good idea to have two swaps on any HD. If you used the default setup under sysinstall for FreeBSD it gives how the setup should look. Is the USB a current 2.0? I cant ever recall having the problems you are describing on a FreeBSD box ever.

If you don't want to compile it into your kernel, load it manually: # kldload atapicam You can automate it using the appropriate line in /boot/loader.conf, I think it's atapicam_load=YES Then you get something like this: % camcontrol devlist SCANNER 2.02at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (pass0) HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H58N 1.01 at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass1) The scanner is a real SCSI scanner, the DVD recorder is an ATAPI drive. You see it's device number is 2,0,0, and the device node is /dev/cd0. You need access to /dev/pass1, too. (If the scanner wouldn't be present, it would be /dev/pass0.) If you want to burn a data CD, use something like this: % cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data iso-file For a music CD: % cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -dao -audio track1 track2 ... If you want to combine the mkisofs step with the burning step (instead of first creating the ISO, then burnin it), you can do something like this: % mkisofs -r files | cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data - It works similar with DVDs, just you use growisofs from the port dvd+rw-tools here: % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=$1 The /dev/dvd is a symling that points to /dev/cd0 - again, the ATAPICAM cd driver is used instead of ATAPI's acd. To make this symlink, I have linkacd0cdrom linkcd0 dvd in /etc/devfs.conf. This makes refering to the example in man growisofs more easy. :-) If you don't have this symlink, you must use /dev/cd0 (or the correct device name for the SCSI drive) in the command. You can check this with camcontrol devlist where both numerical and device node are displayed. Additionally, you can do the same with growisofs as I have shown you with cdrecord - combine the building of the ISO with the burning: % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -r files This should give you a good summary of how to use these tools. You already have gotten useful advices on how to set the correct device permissions - this is important. Additionally, see man cdrecord on how to construct a simple config file so you don't have to put speed= and dev= whenever you want to use the program - it makes things more comfortable. :-) Aloha...

Currently run Wimdows (point and click), and would like to gravitate back to DOS (this is a thing of the ancient past for me 30 years - on a TRS-80). I know remember extremely little of OS vernacular. The main problem with DOS is lack of applications. If it was not so, I would be running it myself. You might, for example, still have your copy of WP 5 -- I do. But printers that work with the printer drivers are now museum pieces. There are work-arounds for this sort of thing -- including the hobby of maintaining ancient hardware -- but as for a working machine to do anything practical, there are stumbling blocks like this at every turn. Am I biting off more than I can chew, or is there a OS commands for dummies out there, or does FreeBSD have such a critter that one can go through. Of course there are still many old DOS tutorials online in various archives and some games and stuff. But now you are asking about FreeBSD, I think. One of the virtues of all of the unix-like systems (the BSDs and Linuxices) is that there are many maintained command-line applications, and the basic stuff is well-domuented with the online manual (man command). These applications are very similar from one BSD or Linux system to another, and are often compiled from the same source code. They all have true multiprocessing so you can switch from one command line environment (virtual terminal) to another with a keystroke. They are a little short of command-line (launched) graphics programs (viewers, paint, etc.) but they have a choice of GUIs, some of which are very lightweight, when you have to have graphics, and you can switch between the GUI and a command line virtual terminal with a keystroke. I'll pour through the FAQ and got hrough the online manuals for now. But it all seems greek. Can someone point me in a diresction to degreek this stuff for me. No ONE thing comes to mind. There are some web versions of the man command online, which is a good place to start. But the best thing seems to me is to find some disk space and make a small installation. Start by running #man man and go from there. Aloha Lars, You mentioned WP5 in this thread. I have some docs on disks that were created in WP5.

xorg error with xfce3 wm install
Aloha, I have used XFCE (3) from ports on all my FreeBSD desktops since 3.* . I tried to install a test box with 8.0 CURRENT 200902 amd4 disc1.iso Everything was fine until I tried to run xfce_setup. It goes to a normal mouse arrow than dies off with this error. xlib extension error Generic Event Extension missing on display :0.0. Has anyone on our list seen this? Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a line in the config that I can add manually? I have setup many XFCE3 desktops and other than unidentified video cards, which have to be replaced with something FreeBSD can identify and connect to, it has just worked. I find XFCE4 to loaded for the tasks I need. Thats why I use the older simpler version of this wm. I tried on the XFCE forum but no response from anybody there.

Help with Mini HP 1000
Aloha Gurus, I run FreeBSD servers and desktops and now I have an HP Mini 1000 netbook with Ubuntu OS. I know some of you have worked with Linux. There are little or no manuals or on HP site instructions. I even called HP support and I knew more than they did. Gary Klein on our FreeBSD list gave me some pointers and I have setup the /etc/network/interfaces : The manual connection works OK for my ATM circuit wired network, now I want to set a second network config for my LAN wireless. Any body on Luau had experience with a wired network link. I want to set it up manually so I don't lose the wired settings for when I am on the ATM circuit. Using the helper apps on the Netbook is not an option as it doesnt seem to play nice with more than one config. I am trying to set up the wireless so I can use either it or the wired link, obviously not both. With out losing either configuration. Also I want to know if it can be setup to work in a Starbucks configuration with DHCP again with out losing the existing configs. Note: Using the autoconfig helper destroys everything existing if you use it. I am used to command like setups for networks not the GUI point and click. Any help appreciated.

SanDisk FreeBSD 7.2 p1 install
Aloha, Thanks for the help from the list on installing FreeBSD 7.2 on a Sandisk USB Flash drive. I was able to install the basic FreeBSD files and it rebooted. I used the 7.2 that Manolis created.

That said everything else seems to be there as expected. Thanks for that p1 version for speeding up a default install. I have the test box trying to load an xorg from the main server to correct this issue for me. I will report on if that cures the problem.

Michael David Crawford wrote: Hi, I'm having a problem making myself clear to my domain name registrar's tech support. I have set up djbdns on a couple of my own servers, and want them registered AS name servers with whoever handles such registration. Most registrars allow one to just enter their hostnames and IPs and they take care of it automagically. But my once-beloved registrar HJ Linnen just outsourced all their registration services to NameScout, and they haven't got a clue. When I looked into it in my account page at NameScout, they said to email tech support, so I did. And tech support replied with the end-user instructions for assigning name servers to the domains one has registered with them. That's not what I want. What I have are two pairs in the following format: 1.2.3.4 a.ns.example.com 5.6.7.8 b.ns.example.com I would like a domain to be able to set its name servers to be a.ns.example.com and b.ns.example.com, and then when that domain is resolved the lookup is delegated to either 1.2.3.4 or 5.6.7.8.

Re: 5000' ethernet?
David Kelly wrote: Not directly FreeBSD related, but how much of a chance is there that two machines could communicate directly over 5,000 feet of cat5 with no special hardware? IIRC the classic ethernet problem limiting the distance between the farthest points on a network had to do with timing and collisions. If these two NICs are configured full duplex then it seems one would have no idea how far away the other was due to timing issues. 100baseT uses lower power drivers than 10baseT, so perhaps 10baseT would work better. In any case, have boxes of cat5 on order so as to find out myself. Are there any particular range extenders you have used and would recommend for making this task a sure thing on the first try?

As an iso image (in Windows) you can open any burning program and tell it to burn it as is; you don't need to extract any contents. This is the usual problem if it won't boot. I used the Windows image burning tool on the one that didn't work. However I tried on another PC that had Nero Burning ROM. That one worked. Now I just wish the boot disk had an apparent way to enable ssh so I could install from another PC while browsing the web.

Re: 9.0 spontaneously reboots
Matthew Seaman wrote: On 12/03/2012 14:07, Volodymyr Kostyrko wrote: What should I blame now? Is it some programming error or should I continue with testing/changing motherboard and cpu? Instability that appears spontaneously (and especially if it persists across system updates) is almost always caused by hardware problems. So, yes, carry on swapping out components until you can isolate where the problem is. Some common hardware problems which might result in the problems you've seen: * PSU going flakey. If you have the right measuring equipment, this is pretty easy to detect by looking at the output voltages -- if they've drifted out of spec, or if you've got mains frequency jitter leaking through then its no wonder your system crashes. * Similarly, if the crashing is associated with system load, (particularly at startup, when things are happening like disks spinning up) this can indicate a power supply fading under load. That can happen due to age, or because you've been adding extra hardware and haven't considered the power requirements. * The other reason for crashing under load is overheating. Sometimes this can be cured easily by cleaning dust out of vents and heat-sinks. Check too for fans either seized or running slowly. * You may need to clean off any old heat-sink compound and re-apply a fresh layer, especially if you've taken CPU coolers off at some point. * There's also the old capacitor problem: electrolytic capacitors have a failure mode that generates some positive pressure inside them. This is detectable by the end of the capacitor being bowed out, rather than slightly concave. (Generally this means a new motherboard, although I've heard of people being able to solder in replacements successfully.) Other than that, try disconnecting and reconnecting peripherals like disks or DVDs and so forth in various combinations to test if that improves system stability. One faulty component can knock the whole machine over. Cheers, Matthew Aloha, Have seen the problems Matthew is addressing here in Hawaii. And if your equipment is in a non climate controlled room check for corrosion on the board or any plugins. Clean all the cabled and components that can be removed. (No air-con in my systems here in Hawaii and humidity is around 60-70% normally so we have to clean and put teflon on contacts about 2 times a year.) Corrosion is worse if your on the ocean or brackish river.

And make sure you can ping your NIC card and like Da Rock says see whats up with iconfig. If there is a switch on the line make sure it is plugged in. I have one customer I work for that lost his signal from TW Roadrunner and they had to come out to replace some link to a failed splitter on the house connection. Here in Hawaii we have a bad corrosion problem from the salt air. TW also needs the electric service to work here as well. Did they come to your location and run a test to their equipment?

Thomas Mueller wrote: from Mike Jeays mike.je...@rogers.com: I am amazed anyone still has a working Zip drive! Both mine suffered from the click of death some years ago, round about when 4.11 was current. I would get any data off them and onto a CD/DVD as soon as possible. For me, they would make nice museum exhibits, but that's it. I never suffered the click of death as such, but my Zip drives (100 and 250, both SCSI) died in other ways. Zip 100 drive, and also SyQuest SyJet drive, got to where they would just eject the disk a few seconds after insertion. Zip 250 disk remained semi-functional after July 2001, the semi being that the Zip drive would not recognize a change of cartridge except by rebooting the computer, old directories would be kept. This happened with Linux, DOS and OS/2 Warp 4, so it was a hardware issue. I installed FreeDOS to a Zip 250 disk on an old computer (1995): took a bit over five hours because Zip disks are slow: glorified floppies. SCSI was Trantor T130B, apparently supported by NetBSD but not FreeBSD = 3.0. My last chance to try to install NetBSD 4.0.1 on a Zip 250 was stopped when that old computer wouldn't power up, and with other things going/gone bad, that computer was clearly not worth the time, effort and cost of repair. So it went to the cyber waste recycling center, including the Zip drives and disks, and the SyJet drive and disks. I haven't used USB sticks as long as floppies or Iomega Zip, but USB sticks and hard drives look much better so far than Iomega Zip or floppies. If I ever tried to install FreeBSD 8.x by copying the distribution files to floppies, no way would I be able to get enough good floppy copies with no better than 20% probability of success on each diskette image. I believe Iomega discontinued the parallel-port Zip drive, subsequently the SCSI Zip drive, and the USB and ATAPI Zip drives were the last to be discontinued.

FreeBSD 6.1 boot loader missing
I installed FreeBSD 6.1 on 2 different HD's 3.5 GB. When the reboot is supposed to happen the Boot loader doesnot come up. Is there a way to fix this from a single user prompt or any other way? I have never had this happen to FreeBSD and I have been installing it on many boxes since version 3.4. This box is for a firewall on a small office lan with only a minimal FreeBSD 6.1 installed to run the firewall. It is an HP box Vectra 486/66. I have looked at several how to's in my FreeBSD reference books, but most say put a dos partition on the drive as maybe the bios need to see the parameters more clearly. Any Ideas besides that? I do have a box that cant run above FreeBSD 4.11 as a print server in an installation. But FreeBSD 5* would not install on it at all. This installs but won't boot.

How can I de-install this port with out causing problems to other programs? I cant find it in the handbook how to's. Im I missing something? Thanks... by the way you can use linux-flash7 instead and if you are using the native FreeBSD firefox and not linux-firefox you have to install and use nspluginwrapper or else it will not work, your second alternative is gnash which works natively with firefox. To use nspluginwrapper you would have to run this after the install. nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so remember for the linux plugins to embed on the native firefox they need some kind of wrapper. Flashplugin9 will not work with native firefox or linux-firefox and I think it's because the linux emulator uses an old version of linux so we have to wait until it changes to a more current version. Aloha Eduardo, If I am running linux-seamonkey port is the concept the same to get it to work? Which wrapper? FYI: I have followed the list questions on this issue. So I tried first to use flashplugin7 and some websites want 9 or they wont work. The sites say you have to use 9.

I went back and used an older release and it didnt have this error. Does this happen on 8-CURRENT (I had problems with this on the 200707 CURRENT as well.) -- ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* - 8.* + email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
