Why don't you try Tightvnc? its in the potrs dir under
/usr/ports/net/tightvnc
It's also possible to tunnel it over ssh

www.tightvnc.org

Okay, then I guess that's that.   I was trying to get a drop=down
menu (or one-of a series of radio buttons) to launch xmms/zinf
at a URL:  

zinf http://W.X.Y.Z:8000

so with a mouse click I could choose my favorite streaming
webcasts.  ---Yeah, I realize this is overkill when I
could do this with a /bin/shell or perl script; or by going
to Shoutcast.   Just wondering if it were possible.

thanks, gents,

Actually I think that $DISPLAY should be set ot :0.10 (as the default
offset) to have the xsession forwarded over the ssh connection.
This, if I recall correctly will be related to the way you start
your ssh.

I have a feeling that some windows ssh clients need to be explicity
told to forward X in order to tell the sshd that $DISPLAY needs to
be appropriately set.

If you set $DISPLAY manually it will not forward over the ssh
connection.  Which ssh client are you using?

Take 2 steps to the right, and then go about 40 steps back, and just put a
mime handler into your browser for audio/mpeg or audio/x-mpeg or
whatever. What you're trying to do is, well, impressive, but overkill.

Which browser are you using?

I really really really really hope not, else the fact that nobody has
exploited the local.exec("rm -R ~/") bug yet is a miracle ::) In
general, applets cannot exec or fork, just call other local applets,
unless I'm wrong. In which case the last sentence should be ignored.

Sounds like you're just asking to make xmms open when you click on an
mp3 file. Easy enough through your browser's mime handlers, but we can
give you more specific advice for a more specific browser.

Re: make buildworld fails on RELENG_4_7 - solved, but now buildkernel fails...

[E.S.]

Well, It appears that my problem in running "make buildworld" was that I had 
uncommented the line:

#NO_OPENSSL= true

in my /etc/make.conf.  This makes sense (except with respect to libncurses) 
given how many libs and apps rely depend on OpenSSL...  But 4.7 has just 
successfully built world.


But now "make buildkernel KERNCONF=KERNELCONF4" (KERNELCONF4 being the name of 
my kernel config file, of course) fails immediately.  Here's all of the 
very-short output:


--
>>> Kernel build for KERNELCONF4 started on Tue Nov 12 03:50:20 CST 2002

I know the atapicam patches were merged into the 4.7-STABLE (RELENG_4) tree as 
of 11/01, but I'm cvsup'ing RELENG_4_7...  So I tried patching the kernel 
("patch < foo.diff") using Thomas Cuivre's atapicam patches:

atapicam-20021031.diff
atapicam-STABLE-config-20021031.diff

I built 4.6.2 with the patches from 8/20 (and so now cdrecord works with my 
IDE CD-burner), and "device atapicam" didn't present any config errors on 
that build, so why is it a problem now?

If I comment out "device atapicam", the kernel appears to build OK.  But I 
don't really want to upgrade to 4.7 unless I can get cdrecord working 
again...

If you think it's a bug with the Galeon code, you should fill out a bug
report and send it to the developers. That sounds like a pretty serious
bug, and they'd certianly want to know about it.

How reproducible is it? I couldn't reproduce it... what version of
mozilla, gtk, galeon, and FreeBSD are you running?

Do you also get this problem with Mozilla, or just with Galeon?

Curious...

Maybe you should stop asking again, and follow the directions that
multiple people have given you. *Everybody* who has replied to you has
told you to get the ports-base collection from cvsup. Yet you still
insist that everybody's solution is wrong, because you haven't tried it.

Put less energy into fighting it, check out the ports-base collection,
download individual ports to your heart's content, and be done with it.

The /usr/ports/Mk framework is where all the magic takes place. Any port
that builds has to access this magic. Those files must exist, and they
must be current. They comprise a miniscule package, and the cvsup will
take you no time. The total space used is about 230K. Not a big space
imposition.

Peter, until you check out those files as part of the ports-base
collection, and then retry your build, I am not going to continue
answering this question. Again and again and again. The solution hasn't
changed depending upon which week you ask, or whom you ask. You keep
fighting the answers, for no good reason. Trust us!

Heh, the only way this is going to get simpler is if you pay for me to

Sendmail receive times

[Casey Scott]

I can not get sendmail to use the system timezone. Every email that comes in 
does not get a time adjustment to PST. They are all at GMT! I have tried 
adding the time to the sendmail.cf file (O TimeZoneSpec=PST), but that did 
not work. The system timezone was set to PST w/ tzsetup, and all other 
indications are that PST is being used on the system. I can't find any 
documentation on this anywhere! Also, why are there so many .cf in /etc/mail? 
I usually use sendmail.cf, but there are a couple others.

Thanks,
Casey

Show-stopping Galeon bug!

[Peter Leftwich]

If you use the Galeon browser, be careful or mindful of the following bug
that has actually crashed *look of awe!* my system 3 or 4 times now.

Somewhat reproducible...

If you press Ctrl-r to refresh the loaded URL and a dialog appears asking
to REPOST form data and you either hit the Enter key or spacebar or click
OK at the same time (something frantic like that, or hold down Ctrl-r and
press Enter) you will still be able to move the mouse around (clicking does
nothing) but the keyboard will be ignored (Alt-tab, Esc, C-A-BKSP, Ctrl-\,
Ctrl-. etc) and pressing the "NumLock" or "CapsLock" keys will not light up
their LEDs.  Dead in the water not in the water though.

Has anyone else witnessed this?  I had an mp3 playing on "xmms" player and
it continued to play fine.  Because of the crash, (technically not a crash,
but what do you call being isolated from all input means such as mouse and
keyboard?) I was forced to press my unit's Reset button (I waited until the
mp3 finished playing due to HDD access).

Has anyone else witness this or something similar with Mozilla?

Are you trying to do something funny that a proper MIME configuration
would take care of?  For example, when your httpd serves up the file
tell it to give a MIME type of something like "audio/mpeg"...then
configure your browser to launch xmms when it receives a file of type
'audio/mpeg'to be on the safe side, you might want to configure the
browser to also associate .mp3 and such with xmms.

Peter,

I think I understand what you have been getting at, although I might be as
confused as Adam?  Anyway, no, you do not need to download the entire
ports collection in order to install ports.  Although, at a minimum you
need the "ports-base" (a cvsup tag) which provides the macro files
necessary for the ports to work.  If you have ports-base then feel free
to just download individual ports as necessary.  However, this might be
difficult.  The beauty of the ports is that they generally resolve their
own dependencies.  If you download one port at a time then you will have
to be sure to download each other port that this the first requires, and
so on and so forth.in other words, welcome to RPM hell.  So, really
it's up to you, but unless you are very low on disk space then
downloading ports one by one doesn't make sense.  You may have already
been here a thousand times, but just in case, check out:

http://www.freebsd.org/ports/:
"The ports listed on these web pages are continually being updated. It is
recommended that you refresh the entire collection together, as many
ports depend on other parts of the tree. If that is not possible, at
least make sure you get the latest make macro files in ports/Mk. (If you
are using cvsup, this means you need ports-base  in your cvsupfile.) If
you still see errors even with the latest bsd.port.mk and friends,
please fetch the entire collection."

Hope this helps...and I hope I was on the right track!

from the ssh shell
$ xhost (remote system) (this is not secure xauth is more secure)
$ kmail -display system:0&
will display kmail on your system. 

If you want the entire kde environment you will want to use VNC this is 
available in the port collection (net/vnc) and at the following link for the 
windows client.

OT: and Java to play "xmms "

[Gary D Kline]

Hi Gang,

I've been wedged the past several nights trying to get a
very simple FORM SELECT OPTION to exec xmms or zinf that points
to a file or URL.  Looks like using Java is the only way to 
go and that means getting my feet wet in the Java world.

So far I've found small smaple scripts that, when you have a 
down-down menu, and choose one, the browser goes to the URL
selected.   (This thru the window.open() call, I think.)
Is there a Java function like: local.exec(") that I
could use to point one of my mp3 players at a streaming 
site?

Thanks for any clues; sorry for the way off-topic subject, but 
lots of web-wizards hang out here.

gary

PS:  There are many non-web ways of doing this, I realize... .

I didn't mean checking anything out.  I meant downloading everything such
as ftp://ftp.fb.org/usr/ports/tree/downloadus/*/*.* by downloading one file
called ftp://ftp.fb.org/usr/ports/tree/downloadus.tar

I just went and got the jdk13 ports manually by ftp'ing each file and
telling w3m (text browser) where to save each file.  Very annoying.

This isn't a matter of trust or distrust.  I believe this is an open forum
and as such, second opinions may be solicited.  With unix there is never a
one-fix solution, and that's the beauty of it.  So I'm asking again...

I've been using "make install clean" instead, thinking that gmake ignores
my /etc/make.conf file (CPUTYPE=k7 since I have an AMD Athlon)...

Well thanks for trying Adam, but I am no less confused and is any the less
for work required.  To.

consistency-check error messages

[Roger Merritt]

Following some suggestions in the recent thread "Port Management", I
decided to try running the script
/usr/ports/Tools/scripts/consistency-check. Now I wonder if anyone can help
me understand the output. What does it mean, "only on filesystem"? Does
that mean that a file on my filesystem is in a port but the port has never
been installed? I took a quick look at the script, but it's not commented
and I can't figure out what the logical tests are determining.

What about the many entries, "for ... md5 ... is DIFFERENT from fs md5
...". Does anything need to be done about it? I haven't checked yet, but my
first suspicion is that this is from a port being newer than the one I have
installed.

There is a flag to "burncd" of "-s" I believe.  Try matching that to your
hardware's speed or slower.  Also, are you using mkisofs?  (As far as I
know, you should be.)

what's your $DISPLAY value set to? If it's :0.0, you need to set 
it to be the host you're connecting from. try:

export DISPLAY=:0.0

where  is where your ssh connection originates.

Generally, when this happens it's best to remove everything from the box
except for things necessary. Remove it all except the video card, then
try to boot and see if you can get the video's BIOS to pop up. Then put
the memory back and try booting again. Then put the hard drive back in
and try booting again. You should get the idea from here on out ;-)

burncd creates jittery audio cd's

[Jacob Rhoden]

Hi,

I have tried burning some wav files onto a cd using burncd, and the audio in a 
cd player comes out broken (random fraction of a second blank sections in the 
audio). Is there some special option which I need to use which I am un-aware 
of from looking in help/man pages... or could it be my cd burner?

My burner is a diamond cd burner, which the kernel reports as:
 acd0: CD-RW  at ata0-slave PIO4

Thanks for any advice,
Jacob

In fact, there are tricks to work around this.  I had the root file
system on a Vinum volume nearly three years ago, but there were
objections to the tricks I was using.  I'm still planning to update
things.  It's not very much work, but I haven't found the time yet.

JDK is in the ports collection at /usr/ports/java/jdk13, also you can
take a look at http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk13.html.
If you try to build the port, it will tell you to manually fetch the
appropriate files from suns web site and it will also direct you to the
above site to download the FreeBSD patches.  I know nothing about Java
or JDK, except that I had to install these things for the OpenOffice
build.

Install the JDK via the ports collection. There are several versions of 
the jdk available. It's a labor-intensive install, with some manual 
downloading from Sun's site, but if you follow the instructions, it works 
like a charm.

I have jdk-1.3.1 installed from the ports. For information on working with 
the ports system, hit the handbook:

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

it's probably available in several languages :)

Re: Installation of FreeBSD using volume manager

[Marco Radzinschi]

But it could be a kernel compile option, such as NetBSD's and OpenBSD's
RAIDFrame. I set up a server with NetBSD with the root partition on RAID
the other day - works fine.

Only problem is that I had to have the kernel in a non-RAID partition.  In
the case of vinum, I suppose one would have to have the kernel and
modules on a non-RAID partition.

That is, assumming Mr. Lehey add support for this. :-)

Earthlink PPP Setup (Compression, negotiation problems)

[Galen Sampson]

Hello all,

I recently purchased an external modem.  It is a Best Data V.92 external modem.
 My ISP is earthlink.  I dissable compression through the modem init string
giberish appears inside the interactive ppp session (I assume it is expecting
some sort of software compression?).  I can connect with user PPP if I enable
modem hardware compression (the modem negotiates v44.bis).  When I connect with
compression I start getting large numbers of HDLC errors and I can hardly send
or recieve any traffic.  If I connect the modem in question to a WinXP machine
all is well.  Could someone with some experience in these matters help me sort
this out?

CC me.  I am not on -questions mailling list.

thanks in advance,

Try enabling the locking daemons on the server by adding these lines to
rc.conf and rebooting.  Note that on FreeBSD 4.* this only provides
server-side locking (if the machine tries to lock a remote NFS file it
will always succeed immediately), but that seems to be all you need
anyway.

rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"

You can test to see if this will fix your proglem without rebooting by
running rpc.statd and rpc.lockd, then running your CAD program again.

Problems with GNUstep apps on FreeBSD?

[Jonathon McKitrick]

Hi all,

I am really stumped by this problem.  I'm trying out GNUstep apps under
FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86 3.x and the XFree86 4.2 libraries.  I've tried
Fluxbox and Windowmaker (latest ports).

Most, if not all of the GNUstep app windows and menus are unruly.  In
GNUmail, the app menu won't go away.  It stays on top of everything, and
will not close, shade, or go below another window.  This is the case with
every app menu of GNUstep applications.

The other apps are even worse.  Gomoku only shows a tiny, distorted window
in the middle of my screen, which looks like a window and titlebar shrunk
down to about one character wide.  It will not resize.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I don't have the first clue what could be
wrong, since I've seen the same problem under 2 windowmanagers that are so
different, and WindowMaker is supposed to be GNUstep compliant.

NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed.  Thanks.

X Remotely on a Win2k Box

[Brian McCann]

Hi all...I tried searching through the archives to find some
help...but there was WAY to much returned.  So...here's my question.  I
need to be able to open an X session (complete with KDE and all) from a
Win2k Box.  I've got Xmanager for Win2k, and I can connect and get an
xterm session via ssh, but when I type startx, it starts up X on the
console.  I would have thought it would have grabbed the name/number of
the display I was currently logged into to send the output to.  Anyone
know how I can do this, or a good site with a how-to?

Thanks,

I am not an expert on this, but a few weeks ago I had a diskless system
up and running.  I removed all traces of UFS and ATA support from the
kernel and it seemed to work fine.  I removed all of the following
options, as well as any ATA devices:
options FFS 
options FFS_ROOT 
options SOFTUPDATES 
options UFS_DIRHASH

Good luck,
Nathan

Java and mysql and tomcat

[Jon Reynolds]

I am attempting to find and use a webcalendar and have found one I would
like to use at sourceforge it says the requirements are this:

Java2Platform SE
Tomcat
Mysql
MM.Mysql

My questions are these, do I need tomcat if I already have apache
installed? And what is MM.Mysql and is it needed? The description for it
is a JDBC driver to make the connection between java servlets and the
MySQL database. Is there a port in FreeBSD for this?

Or does somebody else have a better solution to making a webcalendar
that sits on a site that can be easily updated.

Any help much appreciated,

Jon

I don't know if you've looked at this already but it may help:

See section 19.5.5 specifically.

advice on fine tuning diskless boot

[Joao Pedras]

Hello all!

Two small issues...

1) After sucessfully configuring a set of systems which come up diskless (thank
you for the fine documentation), these still try to mount root from /dev/ad0s1a:

.
.
Adjusted interface xl0
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
no such device 'ad'
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Mounting root from nfs:
NFS ROOT: 192.168.200.3:/diskless_root
NFS SWAP: 192.168.200.3:/diskless_swap
.
.

After this the system comes up fine.

The kernel is compiled without ata and friends. Should a kernel option like
ROOTDEVNAME be used ?

I checked the 'loader' and 'pxeboot' documentation, the mailing lists and it is
not obvious how to "fix" this.

2. do you see any inconvenient in totally removing all UFS options from the
kernel ? These systems have no hard drives...

That's all for now. Thank you for time.

Joao

OpenSSH and password expiry

[Zak Johnson]

[Please CC me on replies, as I am not subscribed to this list.]

I want to force new users to change their passwords immediately upon
first login.  I set the "change" field in master.passwd to 1 (via pw
useradd ... -p 1).  Logging in via login(1) works as expected---the user
is prompted to change the password and then logs in as usual.  However,
my users only connect via ssh, which instead yields the following logs:

  PAM rejected by account configuration[12]: Authentication token is no longer valid; 
new one required.
  Failed password for testuser from 127.0.0.1 port 3367 ssh2

The user sees:

  $ ssh testuser@localhost
  testuser@localhost's password:
  Connection to localhost closed by remote host.
  Connection to localhost closed.

What have I done wrong?

OpenSSL Problems Building Webmin Port

[Drew Tomlinson]

I just installed 4.7-RELEASE on a ev56 Alpha platform via bootdisks and
FTP.  The install went without a hitch.  Next I downloaded the
4.7-RELEASE-p1 sources, and built a custom kernel.  Again no problems.

I have done a fresh cvsup of my ports tree as of today, 11/12/02.
However when attempting to install webmin via portupgrade, I get the
following error:

have check my system and found /usr/bin/openssl.  It appears I have it

didn't have a resolution.  So far, other ports build fine.  Any ideas?

Thanks.  Me too!  Glad there is nothing amiss.  Odd that fvcool works well in 
console and X/Windowmaker environments, but fails miserably in KDE.  Oh well, 
all the Kapps I want will run in Windowmaker, anyway - and I like WM's 
simplicity :-)

You can download and burn the ISOs for FreeBSD. Another option is to
do a FTP install. Bear in mind though that FreeBSD is not Linux. You
will be installing a new operating system--not upgrading your existing

Routing trouble... slow FTP

[Richardson, Martin]

Hi,
I have a dial on demand server running FreeBSD 4.7. This also has wu-ftpd
running as well. I have noticed that whe trying to FTP to the box, it takes
a long time to connect (I usually have the modem switched off, but will dial
if I have left it on while trying to FTP into the box). I have noticed also
that Sendmail has trouble sending local mail (daily reports etc). These
problems dissappear when a the ppp link is up, or I have killed the ppp
process. I suspect these problems might be due to the routing table entries
made by ppp (add default HISADDR). netstat -r takes forever, unless the link
is up. When I do a "tcpdump -i tun0" I get 192.168.x.x traffic going to my
ISP's DNS servers. 
What would be the best way to fix this? use PPP's firewalling, or IPFW? or
is there a better way?
TIA, Martin

Looks like a mismatch between the system and the sources being

what command were you executing, exactly?

earlier, you said tag=RELENG_4_7, now you're saying tag=.

Well, the recommended upgrade procedure would be to use buildkernel
and installkernel, then reboot under the new kernel before doing the
installworld.  Plus running mergemaster.

Good luck.

No, it isn't, the problem is that you're running at 8bit colour depth,
hence, the problems with colour allocation. Change the default colour
depth to 16 or 24, that should fix it. Either by starting X with 'startx

I would suggest to run badsect (8) so u can mark the sector as bad,
unreadable
and thus u can continue accessing ur drive.


Of course in the badsect you have to put sectors and not fsbn, and I dont
know in your error message how u can find the sector number...(anyone can
help on this?)

perhaps the sectors for example are 144-159 ? But I dont know...

Perhaps u should try to find out the 'fsdb' tool...but it will be a
tricky thing..


Any help is appreciated...

Re: problems installing XFree86-4

Make sure you deinstall all of XFree86-3.3.x, particularly including
the imake-3.3.x port before you attempt to install XFree86-4.2.1.  The
3.3.x imake is not suitable for compiling X 4.2.1, but it's sufficient
to fool the port Makefile into trying...

If you're using portupgrade(1), it's as simple as:

pkg_deinstall -r imake-\*
echo "XFREE86_VERSION=4" >> /etc/make.conf
portinstall -N x11/XFree86-4

Nb. that first command will remove *every* port/pkg that uses X:
you'ld want to re-install them anyhow after upgrading.

Cheers,

Matthew

XFree86 can't allocate colors on 4.7-RELEASE

[Archie Cobbs]

I recently upgraded an IBM A20m laptop to 4.7-RELEASE and it appears
that the new version of the X server is broken.

The problem is that applications can no longer allocate colors... e.g.:

Fvwm-95: in function GetColor: <> can't allocate color #808080
*FvwmTaskBar: cannot open console
xsetroot:  unable to allocate color for "turquoise4"
xearth 1.1: fatal - unable to allocate enough colors
*FvwmTaskBar: can't alloc LightYellow
*FvwmTaskBar: can't alloc LightYellow
*FvwmTaskBar: can't alloc LightYellow
...

My XF86Config (mostly auto-generated) and a sample /var/log/XFree86.0.log
are attached.

Thanks for any ideas...

There are no messages on the console nor in the error files.
Also, logging out of X and typing those commands didn't help.

Even under a new account the contacts page doesn't appear.
I have no further idea.

Multiple copies of messages

Hello,
For some time now I have been receiving duplicate copies sent to this
list and the other BSD ones I susbcribe to. Somethimes they arrive
together and sometimes the second one somewhat later.
Is anyone else suffering from this ?

You can browse/search the FBSD ports collection for apps at:

http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html

I don't see anything about gvim. I'm assuming it's some sort of 
gnome-aware vim?

Also, what do you mean by "compiler for 3d gaming code" - C is C, no? Do  
you mean OpenGL libraries? Try Mesa.

problems installing XFree86-4

[Ian J Peters-Campbell]

I am trying to get X up and running on a Dell Latitude C600 running
FreeBSD 4.7 as part of a school project.  I can't seem to get X 3.X to
recognize my video card (an ATI Mobility 3), and the best I can seem to
get is a 300x200 window in the middle of my screen, so I thought I would
install X-4 and hope for the best.

Unfortunately, the install for X-4 keeps failing, saying that things are
already defined, etc (I have included a copy of the "make install" output
for your perusal and edification).  I thought that the problem might just
be a previously installed X 3, and so tried to deinstall it first, but it
failed as well.

Any advice on how to either get the server up and running with 3.x OR on
how to get X-4 properly installed (I suspect it would help) would be
greatly appreciated.  I have been banging my head against this for over a
week, and have had no luck with the newbie list over at XFree86.org.  I
will be more than happy to send any additional information on request.

Gracias

Ian

live filesystem + tape driver

[R. Zoontjens]

Hi,

I am trying to find a good disaster recovery procedure.
I dumped all my filesystems to tape.
I booted with the 2nd FreeBSD Live filesystem-CD (4.7), and chose fixit

"restore" is available
"mt" is available
but my tape driver is not! When I boot up normally everything works of
course :)

from dmesg:
ata1-slave:  tape device - NO DRIVER!

This is a TR-5 ATA tape.
What would my next step be? mini-kernel on a floppy? Where to begin?

That's true, but there's an article "Bootstrapping Vinum," which
describes how to make the best of the situation, though.

An ICRC error means that the data was corrupted between the drive and
the controller, and usually means cabling problems.

That entire Z-series of Lexmark printers are the printer equivalent of a
Winmodem. They rely on the host OS to do some of the processing; that's
why they are so cheap.
Lexmark does release Linux drivers for them. I have a Z52 working fine on
Linux using gimp-print (without the Lexmark drivers) and I have no idea
whatsoever how to transfer the configuration to FreeBSD. I was only able
to make it work because RH & Mandrake has some gui printer wizards that
make it brainless. If I had known it was a winprinter I wouldn't have bought it; this 
info isn't
documented anywhere on the website.
The Z52 is allegedly the ONLY such winprinter that works reliably with free software 
drivers.
You might try reading up on gimp-print and the CUPS printing system.

RE: Can you help me?

[KizerSoze]

Yes, you can install over ftp.  You'll need to make some bootable floppies
for the install and setup your internet connection with the install.  IF you
have a CD burner though you could download the ISO, burn it, and install
from the CD.

You can find some install questions here.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html

Also, I reccomend you look at the freebsd handbook which has some usefull
information as well here.

Good luck,

FreeBSD can be installed over the web.  You might wish to
clarify why you used the word 'upgrade.'  If you are wanting
to keep your existing hard disk data and partitions, it won't
be quite as easy, but it shouldn't bust your chops either.

To get started with FreeBSD, I'd recommend reading the
Handbook:  www.freebsd.org/handbook/ 

Cheers,

I already tried that...its a Maxtor drive and the utilites that they have
only run on the Microsoft platform.  The utility is too large to fit on a

in 16 bit dos mode.

Someone already answered your question as it applies to the PC's case

The audio/aumix port must be installed and you'll have to locate

Are you seeing any messages on your console or in your
~/.xsession-errors or ~/.gnomerc-errors?  Have you tried logging out of
X, and doing:

# oaf-slay
# killall -m gconfd
# killall esd

And then restarting Evo?  My Contacts tab is working just fine in
1.2.0.  Admittedly, I had problems with this upgrade, and I ended up
removing my old preferences, and recreating things.

Mine CS4236, is not listed in that file as well, but it works. I had,
however, to insert the following line into the kernel config:
device  pcm0 at isa? port 0x52c irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x10

If your kernel is PNPBIOS-enabled, you will probably need only:
device  pcm

The result is:
pcm0:  at port 0x52c-0x533,0xf8c-0xf94,0xe0e irq 5 drq 1 flags 0xa110 on isa0

Hope this helps.

Yes to both, in the ports tree. Though I'm not quite sure what you mean

HPFS filesystem

[Ian Smith]

Having tens of thousands of files collected over about seven years on
numerous HPFS volumes on a couple of OS/2 machines, and being tired of
shuffling between in .zip files, I'd love access to HPFS volumes (all
within extended DOS partitions) from the FreeBSD installs on those
boxes.  I'm well tuned to the WARNING, but readonly access will do ..

I'd looked over Semen Ustimenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'s HPFS code, and
was about to ask here if it still worked on 4.5-RELEASE and since, when
a colleague noticed this code in the 4.5 source tree, but that it's not
installed by default, nor mentioned in LINT (/sys/{modules,fs}/hpfs) 

What do I have to do to add the filesystem?  I gather from skimming the
code that it is (or was?) hooked into mountd.  Is this a buildworld job
(after how enabling its inclusion?) or can I just make it (from where?)

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Re: Scripts

[Kirk Bailey]

just noticed this letter, managed to skip it when it first came in-must have
been busy.

Zeroth, in msdos or windows, there is a command line program that receives
input, decides what to do about it, and either does it, or hands it off to
another program that does it. This is a SHELL. In ms-dos, this is command.com.
There are several in un*x, and the one you can always rely on to be there is
called sh. under this is a library of basic functions, such as ms-dos.sys and
io.sys in the world of ms-dos and windows. The names escape me in un*x, but they
are there. That library of basic functions are referred to as the kernel. They
are the core, and surrounding them is a interface, and in the conceptual model
here, it is a SHELL surrounding these basic functions. 'sh' is the shell we
normally rely on in un*x scripting.

First, scripts are interpeted,  not compiled. Another program reads them and
performs the functions, frequently cooompiling a chunk of code then executing
that, although some simply do whatever is in there, performing commands and
functions already in the interpeting program. The sh script is always present in
a un*x (UNIXtm is a registered Trade Mark) computer.

Second, scripts tend to be slow, at least compared to a compiled executable. A
sh script is very slow indeed, and very vulnerable to hacking by malicious users
in the Real World of the internet, so shellscripts are NOT reccomended for
webscripts.

Third, every script that is to execute must be lauched, either as

$sh myprogram.sh

Which creates a new shell, which executes the contents of the file named
(myprogram.sh) then it terminates, returning control to the shell you already
have running, 

OR

by placing a special symbol set in the VERY FIRST LINE of the script. This is
referred to as a 'shebang'.

#!/usr/bin/sh

(Assuming the path to sh is /usr/bin !) The path to the interpeter must be
correct.

you ALSO must make the script executable. This means it has to live in a
directory which has the x bit set, and must have IT'S x bit set; this is done
with the chmod command.

chmod +x cgi-bin
chmod +x ./cgi-bin/myscript

To invoke a such a script from the command prompt, just type in it's name.
--->if that location is not on the path, you must tell it where to find it<---

EXAMPLES:
./myscript - in the current directory
./cgi-bin/myscript - in the cgi-bin dir under the current directory
/home/users/deliberatus/myscript - in this EXACT location, giving the full path.

some scripts use an interpeter, not a shell, suck as perl or python.

#!/usr/local/bin/python

If you are new to scripts, but know the commands of the sh script, try writing
some toy programs in sh. If you want to learn a scripting language, try python,
it's very readable and a quick learn.

http://www.python.org/

hope this  helps.

Old versions of FreeBSD

[Pam Huntley]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to get a copy of FreeBSD 2.2.8?  I'm 
in a group working on a file systems project for my CSC Operating 
Systems class, we were interested in a variety of file systems, one of 
which is the Elephant file system, which was implemented as a VFS in 
FreeBSD 2.2.8.  

We're having some trouble getting the source code from the author, and 
we're pretty sure it's not in FreeBSD 4.7, so I thought I'd check the 
2.2.8 packages, to see if it was included there, since that's what it 
was written for.  I know it's a long shot, but if anyone could help me 
out, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Pam Huntley

I've tried bringing the system down to single user mode, umounting the
filesystems and running fsck but it never finds anything wrong.  Next I'm
going to switch out the ide cable, and i'm hoping that is the problem as I'd
prefer not to have my drive go out.

What else can I do besides running fsck?  Are there any other utilites to
check the disk, maybe something from the ports tree?

Thanks,

Ed

a question

[peter andrus]

Does the current release of FreeBSD come with the full version of GVIM? 
Also, does the standard application package come with any sort of a compiler 
for 3d gaming code? I am thinking of going windows free, but i have lots of 
questions, answering these would really help me. Thanks peter

ximian evolution 1.2 - contacts

[David Schmidt]

Hi,
I've installed the brandnew version of evolution from the ports.
Everything was fine to the point I tried to open my contacts. If I choose 
"contacts" in the panel nothing happens. In the context menu of e-mail 
addresses (in the mail section) there are all the data that belings to this 
contact. But I can't edit it or directly choose any contact.
My OS is FreeBSD 4.7.

Does anybody has the same problem? Is it a problem of the port or of ximian?
Some ideas?

Regards,

David

Re: Installation of FreeBSD using volume manager

[Toomas Aas]

Hi!

> Is this possible?

It seems that Greg Lehey hasn't got the time to read lists right now, 
so I'll just chime in and say that TTBOMK it is not possible to have 
root partition on vinum volume, at least in FreeBSD 4.x.

It seems to me that this is kind of chicken-and-egg problem - if the 
support for vinum volumes is implemented as a module (vinum.ko), then 
you need to load this module before you can access the logical volume. 
Hence, vinum.ko itself can't be on a vinum volume :-)

Lexmark Z23 USB Printer

[Weston M. Price]

Hello,
I am trying to get my FreeBSD 4.7 Stable system working with my Z23 Lexmark 
printer. I enabled support for USB printers in the kernel and was able to 
rebuild and install with no problem. dmesg correctly reports the existence of 
the device. However, I am sort of stuck at this point. I am not really sure 
what I should do next, the handbook does not explicitly reference USB 
printers. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate 
it. It would be nice to get this working since it is such a cheap printer. 
The alternative would be for me to install the printer on my WindowsXP box 
(really my girlfriends machine) and print across the network.

Regards,

Weston

FD_SETSIZE and increasing FD amount in BIND

[Chris Phillips]

Hi,

I'm following BIND's loosely documented procedures on how to increase the
amount of file descriptors that BIND can use.  I've created the file
fd_setsize.h in the ports/freebsd/include directory as specified by BIND's
INSTALL file.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Re-cvsup your ports tree.  All oaf patches apply cleanly for me.

If you have no backup mail exchangers to queue your mail for you, then
it's definitely possible.
