Re: FW: help please? corrupted hard disc - invalid super block.
hi, thanks for the help! Mounting /dev/ad5e worked (at least in read-only, it wants a fsck) so rather than try a repair, and risk blowing it up, (and I'm on 4.8, which still has disklabel nor bsdlabel) I'll copy everything off and re-initialise the disc in due course. Thanks! Rob. At 15:53 28/06/2004, Ruben Bloemgarten wrote: It looks like you wrote the disklabel for the slice to the disk or vice-versa. If you check /dev there probably isn't a /dev/ad5s* there. Try mounting /dev/ad5e instead of /dev/ad5s1e. To verify, do a bsdlabel ad5s1 to see if you have a disklabel for the slice. Otherwise you could : 1.backup you disklabel #bsdlabel /dev/ad5e > disklabel.BAK 2. write a correct disklabel for /dev/ad5s1 #bsdlabel -w -B ad5s1 3. Edit your disklabel to be correct : a. note the size values of #bsdlabel ad5s1 b. make another backup of your saved disklabel c. edit one of the backups and change the size value to the value you got from #bsdlabel ad5s1 d. write your edited disklabel to ad5s1 #bsdlabel -R ad5s1 disklabel.BAK This *should* return no errors. 4. try to mount ad5s1 Now this is all based on them hope that you don't have to erase the bad/sliceless disklabel on da5.

pcmcia driver
A moderately experienced Linux user, I am still new to FreeBSD. I am trying to use a Farallon EtherMac PCMCIA ethernet card on an older Toshiba laptop running FreeBSD 4.8. I have enabled pccard.

Audio/multimedia recommendations
OK, so I've finally moved over to FreeBSD from Linux, and I've fallen in love. To me, this OS makes so much more /sense/ than Linux, though I'm not evangelizing nor knocking anyone's choices. I realize the strength of the FreeBSD is on the server side, but I like it enough that I'm planning on using this current install as a workstation (and later I plan on using a combined FreeBSD/OpenBSD setup for a mail/web server network, OpenBSD being dedicated to firewalling). My stats are FreeBSD 5.2.1 RELEASE, KDE 3.2.3 (I also have Gnome but don't use it often). After toying around a bit with the various installed media players as well as installing XMMS (which has some quirky problems with KDE), I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations on media players, as this ain't cutting it and there are so many audio and multimedia ports that it's a rather daunting task trying to pick any of them. My previous Linux experience didn't involve much media, so I'm not familiar with what's popular or what works well. I'm particularly interested in any players which support streaming media, especially standards like Real and WMP. I tried going to the Real page to dl their player, after discovering it's no longer in ports, and there is no option for FreeBSD, and the Linux player is a binary - haven't tried it yet. Also, my mobo is an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT video card. The mobo works fine with FreeBSD, but I haven't been able to get my video card to work, even though I've been through a number of steps advised on different sites, including building AGP into the kernel and Radeon support into XFree86. I've also searched through the list archives, but the answers given tend to vary, and the ones I've tried haven't worked. I know many people have asked about this issue, but I have yet to find a solution which works. Anyone have an answer they know works? I'm not all that interested in playing games on this machine or using 3D much at all, but it would be nice to speed up my system by actually using the video memory the card uses. - jt ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

4.10-RELEASE Installation Locks Up
Hello, I've been having a problem installing FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE on an old Acer Aspire (120 MHz Pentium processor, 80 MB RAM) using a network install via FTP, and I've had it lock up (can't switch from standard view to the debug view or the holographic shell) with the hard drive light staying on multiple times. I turned on the debug mode in sysinstall and it's happened twice when it's been trying to do this: cp -p /kernel.GENERIC /kernel I also know that the cable on the first IDE controller has had some of its shielding scraped off from brushing against the top of the chasis, but it still looks intact. On the first IDE controller is a Quantum 2550 MB hard drive as the master and a generic CD-ROM drive as the slave. The Quantum hard drive is getting the root partition as well as a swap partition and the /tmp directory. The other IDE controller has a Western Digital 6448.6 MB hard drive and nothing else on it. The WD drive is getting the /var and /usr partitions as well as a swap partition. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? How likely is it that the less-than-perfect IDE cable is causing this problem? If I can't solve this problem (with your help, of course), how can I work around it? I'm subscribed to the list and am getting it in digest form, so I'll get your replies either way, though I'll get them faster if you send them to me directly.

amavisd-new postfix issue
Hi, I've got a FreeBSD 5.2.1 box running postfix 2.1, spamassassin 2.63, amavisd-new-20030616.p9, dcc-dccd-1.2.48, and razor-agents-2.40 all installed via ports. I'm having issues with dcc-dccd and razor-agents not working, but i believe that's due to my firewall, anyone know what ports they use, and that's not the purpose of this. I've got amavisd-new as a postfix content filter. It sends messages through spamassassin and an antivirus program, spamassassin interfaces with razor and dcc, which until i get those ports i've disabled. My problem is with amavisd-new, when i have the content_filter line uncommented in main.cf smtpd throttles itself, comment out that line and it works fine. I have no idea what the issue is, i manually run amavisd and it does not report any syntax errors. The below is the strange error i'm getting. I don't get any startup errors from either amavisd-new or postfix, and this only occurs when the content_filter line is uncommented.

I have also done a considerable amount of googling and only found ones that attach through and RS232 cable. My laptop does not have that. I am running FreeBSD 5.2 Current and want to use umodem.

FreeBSD cluster: ntpd does not sync time properly?
Hello, I have a FreeBSD cluster, all PCs running FreeBSD-Stable (as of one week ago). The cluster has a master, connected to the Internet, and the master is also router, caching nameserver and timeserver for the internal network. The master has two internet cards, and there are 6 slaves on the internal network. Problem is, that as time goes on, the system time on master and slaves deviate more and more. Here is my configuration for the time server configuration: on MASTER (192.168.0.100) rc.conf: ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b time.kriss.re.kr time.nuri.net" xntpd_enable="YES" ntp.conf: # prohibit general access to this service restrict default ignore # allow hosts on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet to query this server restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap # localhost has full access to the server restrict 127.0.0.1 server time.kriss.re.kr prefer server time.nuri.net driftfile /etc/ntp.drift on SLAVE (192.168.0.) rc.conf: ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b 192.168.0.100" xntpd_enable="YES" ntp.conf: # prohibit general access to this service restrict default ignore # localhost has full access to the server restrict 127.0.0.1 server 192.168.0.100 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift The idea is that at boot-up, time is instantly synchronized once by unsing "ntpdate -b"; after that ntpd will control time adjustments. Am I making a mistake in this setup? Thanks, Rob. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: em0 Intel Gigabit card, rc.conf processing on boot
Quoting Michael Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Any suggestions on how to do this without DHCP? That's really not an option for me.

Re: Updating source code manually
You shouldn't portupgrade KDE when KDE is running, but you should be able to run `make' to build everything while KDE is running, shut down KDE and `portupgrade -w' afterwards (which will use the binaries built by `make' and install them, taking seriously less time than the original `make') and restart KDE. At least that's how it would with an ordinary port. that's great! i never even thought of doing that... that way i can just apply the patch as was described in earlier emails and then make install from the kdebase ports dir and then use "portupgrade -w kdebase" to add the changes. thanks everyone for the great advice! iain _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

IPFW2 strange issues on BSD-5.2.1
I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 with IPFW2 as a firewall/router on a network. I'm seeing some very strange things in the dynamic ruleset. The last 4 entries in the list are the issues. You can see that none of the informatin in the last 4 dynamic rules makes any sense -- not the #/packets or bytes, the rule #, or even the protocol. The IP addresses referred to are not local to any part of the network, and some aren't even listed in the appropriate WHOIS database. I'm totally lost on this. Any help would be appreciated, including suggestions as to how to generate better log information. Nothing shows in my logs, either. Interestingly, these last (wierd) rules appear & disappear at random intervals, with different information each time -- different rule numebrs (but non-existent in my ruleset), different Ips, and different protocols. host-64-179-35-23# ipfw -de show 00050 35654 14976392 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0 00100 29882071714 allow ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to 127.0.0.0/8 00200 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 00300 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00310 0 0 allow ip from 224.0.0.1 to any 00311110 3960 allow ip from any to 224.0.0.1 00350 0 0 deny log argus from any to any 00351 0 0 deny log scps from any to any 00352 0 0 deny log igmp from any to any 00354 0 0 deny log netblt from any to any 00355 0 0 deny ip from 0.0.0.0 to any 00356 0 0 deny ip from any to 0.0.0.0 00357 0 0 deny ipv6-nonxt from any to any 00359 0 0 deny log trunk-2 from any to any 00360 99 6224 deny log icmp from any to any 00400891 111330 allow ip from 205.201.9.0/24 to me setup keep-state 00410 0 0 allow ip from 151.201.141.231 to me setup keep-state 00420 0 0 deny ip from any to me dst-port 22 00450 1272 539440 allow ip from any to me dst-port 25 setup keep-state 00451151 12032 allow ip from me to any dst-port 21 setup keep-state 00452 0 0 allow ip from me to any dst-port 20 setup keep-state 00453 115131798157 allow ip from me to any dst-port 80 setup keep-state 00454 11 1457 allow ip from me to any dst-port 443 setup keep-state 00455 0 0 allow ip from any 20 to me setup keep-state 00457 0 0 allow ip from me to any dst-port 22 setup keep-state 00458 0 0 allow ip from any 25 to me setup keep-state 00459 0 0 allow ip from any to me dst-port 80 setup keep-state 00498 2373 267409 allow ip from any to me 00499 62671635428 allow ip from me to any 00520 0 0 allow ip from 224.0.0.1 to any 00530 0 0 allow ip from any to 224.0.0.1 00800 11739 allow udp from any to 207.69.188.200 dst-port 53 00810 22 10768 allow udp from 207.69.188.200 53 to any 00820250 15731 allow udp from any to 64.65.223.6 dst-port 53 00830498 141930 allow udp from 64.65.223.6 53 to any 00840 94 6784 allow udp from any to any dst-port 53 00841122 36608 allow udp from any 53 to any 00850 0 0 allow ip from 255.255.255.255 to any 00860232 70064 allow ip from any to 255.255.255.255 00998 82 18216 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 not via xl0 00999 0 0 check-state 01000 0 0 allow ip from any to 192.168.1.5 dst-port 25 setup keep-state 01010 1115 517038 allow ip from any to 192.168.1.5 dst-port 80 setup keep-state 01020 0 0 allow ip from any to 192.168.1.5 dst-port 2500 setup keep-state 01100332 49019 allow ip from 192.168.1.5 to any dst-port 25 setup keep-state 01110 1177 978983 allow ip from 192.168.1.5 to any dst-port 80 setup keep-state 01115 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.5 to any dst-port 443 setup keep-state 01120 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.5 to any dst-port 21 setup keep-state 01125 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.5 to any dst-port 20 setup keep-state 01130 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.5 20 to any setup keep-state 01998 83 3704 deny log ip from 192.168.1.5 to any 01999 36 1440 deny log ip from any to 192.168.1.5 02010 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any dst-port 20 setup keep-state 02020 40906 23355938 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any dst-port 80 setup keep-state 02030 39 20505 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any dst-port 443 setup keep-state 02040 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any dst-port 21 setup keep-state 02050 0 0 allow ip from 192.168.1.0/24 20 to any setup keep-state 65000

libXRes.so.0 and xorg updating
Inspired by all the talk of upgrading to the xorg libraries, I tried to do this this afternoon. Most things seem to be working OK, but I seem to be hung up in one spot. When I restarted X after the update, I got a bunch of errors about Gnome panel apps, and the panel does not appear. I tried to portupgrade -f gnomepanel, and this eventually dies with a /usr/bin/ld: warning: libXRes.so.0, needed by /usr/X11R6/lib/libwnck-1.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) error. I tried portinstalling libXres, but this (and its dependencies) conflicts with xorg-libraries, so I pulled it again. I have run pkgdb, so gnomepanel should be looking at xorg-libraries.

Odd - all I did was remove XFree, install the Xorg meta-port. Rename
XF86Config to xorgcfg in /etc/X11R6, restart X and bingo.
Now, I am cvsup'in as we speak - then again, I don't use the gui version of
cvsup.
If anyone is interested, I'll post a follow-up.

Both the XFree86-4-libraries and xorg-libraries provide the
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 shared library (amongst others). It's the
same ABI independent of which port the shlib comes from.
The short answer is "just install the x11/xorg-libraries port before
you install cvsup".
In fact, cvsup works perfectly well even if you replace the XFree86
libs with the xorg ones underneath a previously installed copy of
cvsup. Doesn't even need a recompile. The same goes for most X based
software.
Here's how it works: when the Makefile in the cvsup port says
"USE_XLIB" that gets transformed into a LIB_DEPENDS line in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk:
LIB_DEPENDS+= X11.6:${PORTSDIR}/x11/XFree86-4-libraries
(assuming you've not got XFREE86_VERSION == 3).
That LIB_DEPENDS line is in two parts separated by a colon. The first
bit:
X11.6
means that the port needs to link against libX11.so.6, and it checks
to see if a suitable shlib is installed and accessible by grep'ing in
the output of ldconfig:
% ldconfig -r | fgrep X11.6
116:-lX11.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
Since last night on my system that's from:
% pkg_info -W /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 was installed by package xorg-libraries-6.7.0
If make(1) can find a suitable shlib, everything is happy and the
compile continues -- all make looks for is the presence of the
library. It doesn't check what (if any) port the library is part of.
Only if it can't find the correct shlib does the right hand side of
that LIB_DEPENDS line get considered:
${PORTSDIR}/x11/XFree86-4-libraries
That's simply a suggestion of a suitable port that will provide the
required shlib, and fulfil the dependency. But there are several such
ports in the tree, any of which could be used. Often in such
situations there will be some sort of 'WANT_FOO' or 'WITH_FOO_VER'
make variable to select which one gets used. Unfortunately, no such
mechanism for saying "I want X.Org ports in preference to XFree86
ones" has yet been committed.
One annoyance due to the lake of make(1) infrastructure is that the
suggested port will be listed in the package dependencies of the
installed port, rather than the actual port that provided the shlib
you used to build against. That, however, is just an administrative
detail which you can fix up with pkgdb(1), and has no real bearing on
the effectiveness of the software.

IPFW-2 help please
Can anyone fluent with IPFW-2 help me by explaining what's happening with the following rules? I'm not getting the results I expect and can't make any logical conclusions regarding them. SERVER CONFIGURATION FBSD v5.2.1 with IPFW-2 Four port NIC, but for simplicity sake I am only showing two ports in this example of the rules. FBSD box router/gateway contains: dc1 is 192.168.1.1 dc2 is 192.168.2.1 One machine (192.168.1.10) is attached to the 1.0 network. One machine (192.168.2.254) is attached to the 2.0 network. With an open firewall, anything hanging off the 1.0 network can talk to the 2.0 network and vice-versa. So routing is fine. RULESET --- 01600 skipto 4000 ip from any to any via dc1 01800 skipto 8000 ip from any to any via dc2 04000 check-state 04200 allow ip from any to any in via dc1 keep-state 04400 deny ip from any to any 08000 deny ip from any to 192.168.2.254 dst-port 23 08100 check-state 08200 allow ip from any to any in via dc2 keep-state 65000 deny ip from any to any MY CONFUSION 1. I want machines on dc1 to be able to go anywhere, but I want to block telnet into 192.168.2.254. 2. Rule 8000 is not blocking access to 192.168.2.254 dst-port 23 as I thought it would. I can telnet to 2.254 without any problem. The dynamic rule 4200 is setup with bidirectional communication between 1.10 and 2.254, but Rule 8000 has no impact on packets traveling through dc2 with a target of 2.254. 3. If I move Rule 8000 before Rule 1600, packets are blocked from 192.168.2.254 dst-port 23 as I expect them to be. MY QUESTION --- Why are packets blocked if the deny rule is placed prior to Rule 1600 but not within the block of rules defined for traffic in and out of dc2? Is this because static rules referencing the interface do not match packets that were initially introduced using a dynamic rule?

Re: Problem restarts
On Mon, 28 Jun 2004, Mark Terribile wrote: Dear "User LAFFER1", I had a similar problem with a server recently. The issue turned out to be the NIC/NIC driver. I changed it over to a 3com and it worked like a charm ever since. Well, I'm using the motherboard NIC, which is an Intel RC82540EM I'm also using that power supply in a server. I've noticed it gets very hot under load. I believe that model only has one fan and is considered a desktop "silent" model. Its possible that your system config is too much for it running 24/7. Its not the wattage per se, just that its not designed for continously use. My system is only an amd athelon 2000+ with 512mb ram, 1 7200rpm 40gig maxtor drive and a dvd reader. This is a two-fan model, with no visible speed adjustment. The output air is warm, but not outrageously so. But if that were the problem, why would the system restart immediately, and why would it be taken down by processor load rather than by a heavy disk load? Is it worth buying a 420 or 480 watt supply to test? Antec supplies are built more heavily than most, and this 380 watter cost as much as a 480 from, say, Powmax. Mark Terribile __ Do you Yahoo!?

Interesting that yours is a two fan model. Mine was included in an Antec case. If you know it only occurs under heavy CPU load, then that leads to two conclusions. 1. Hardware issue/thermal. Perhaps your cpu fan is not adequate. Perhaps thermal compound might help? Artic silver.. etc. Another possibility is that you have adequate cooling but a sensor on the processor, fan or motherboard watching the cpu is malfunctioning and making the system think its overheating. Can you look at the temperature readings for the cpu in the bios, etc? 2. Software issue.

Most system management/statistical things are built around the MIB (Management Information Base) concept used by SNMP, etc. These call for time to be kept in 10,000ths of a second in a 32-bit unsigned counter.

Then update the various fonts and stuff -- there's almost a one-to-one mapping of XFree ports onto X.Org ports, except for the x11-fonts/XFree86-4-fontScalable port, which I chose to replace by x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype, plus installed x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-type1 after doing that. The x11-servers/XFree86-4-NestServer port doesn't seem to have an X.Org equivalent. Keep x11-servers/xorg-servers till last but one. Finally, pkg_delete the x11/XFree86-4 meta-port, and install x11/xorg. I did have some trouble with compiling the graphics/dri port after the imake and X11 libraries updates. That's something that x11-servers/xorg-servers depends on under i386 arch.

If you use portupgrade to substitute the X.Org port for the XFree86 ones as I describe above, you don't need to continually keep re-running pkgdb -F. However, you will need to run pkgdb every time you unpdate or install any X related port from now on. The good news is most X dependent ports will run just fine without a re-compile. The only one I had any trouble with was multimedia/mplayer, and that was fixed by reinstalling.

This is a two-fan model, with no visible speed adjustment. The output air is warm, but not outrageously so. But if that were the problem, why would the system restart immediately, and why would it be taken down by processor load rather than by a heavy disk load? Is it worth buying a 420 or 480 watt supply to test? Antec supplies are built more heavily than most, and this 380 watter cost as much as a 480 from, say, Powmax. Mark Terribile > __ Do you Yahoo!?

As best I can tell, it will depend on either XFree86 (XFree86 v. 3) or XFree86-4-libraries (XFree86 v. 4), with no option to depend on xorg-libraries.

When a file is open by a process, even if you unlink it and replace it with another one, the original file will stay on disk until the last file handle referencing it is closed. I assume that holds true for libraries too. So, EXISTING processes aren't screwed. But, when a NEW process is created, it references the NEW shared library, and if their ABI's don't match --- BOOM!:) That was just a correction. I was under the impression that the OP already had KDE (and thus all `father' ports) installed and up-to-date, and only wanted to patch a file. That would mean there would be 0 upstream ports rebuilt, or am I mistaken? Maybe my post looks like stating it's a universal approach. It isn't. Sorry I didn't mention it. But if the OP doesn't have KDE up-to-date, he could `downgrade' his ports tree to match his packages (reducing the problem to the previous one). Of course that's only possible if the patch applies to the `downgraded' KDE too. He will still have to build (not-up-to-date) KDE, but this should escape ABI worries, as in fact no other changes will be made. > B) ... unless you're suggesting starting at the top of the > dependency tree and doing build-but-don't-install by hand for every > component in order.

I certainly appreciate the good advice, but I could
use a little more information.
I'm not really worried about saving the system and the
MBR, just my /usr/home directory. Can I install the
system again (from floppies) without the inode chain
getting messed up and the /usr/home directory becoming
invisible? I would like to know if I can just

Ah - ok - putting into /etc/r.conf
ifconfig_wi0="ssid foo"
will lock it during/after reboots; but kills the DHCP. Options are
- Do above but add
dhclietn wi0&
to your /etc/rc.local
- Leave ifconfig_wi0=DHCP in rc.conf
and do a 'man dhclient-script' and
accordingly create a
/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks
with the text
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wi0 ssid f00
add 'if [ "x${interface}" = "xwi0" ]; then' ..'fi'
around it if you want it only to happen for wi0.
What the second option does is run an extra script early in the dhcp
cycle whcih sets your interface to the right ssid.

I don't know if X.org "needs" anything from XFree, so I can't answer that. The next thing is simply update the ports tree (that inturn updates the X.org meta when needed) then run portupgrade after the ports ttree update. See the man page for portupgrade for the parms you want. I myself use -arR Once you have run portupgrade, and if by chance the meta-port did get updated, portupgrade will bring that up to the current build for FreeBSD.

I don't want to be thick, but what are the exact steps involved in this? My installed ports are already up to date, Id just want to rebuild the ones that depend on some version of X.

Nope, still no joy. However my boot is telling me userland is out of sync with the kernel now, so I'm not prepared to say "it didn't work" yet. Per the numbers returned by pciconf, this is a 82559 rev 0x8, which is in the table of supported devices. According to the code, however, if the device claims to be 10Mb only, then it isn't even handed to the miibus code to configure. I'm still working my way through the code to determine if the 10Mb-ness is being reported by the devices directly, or if this is the code's interpretation based on other data requested. The two additional 82559 rev 0x8s (on the plug-in PCI card) are correctly being passed to the miibus, and this is annoying. Thanks for your time in this, anyway.

FreeBSD desktop newcomer (Enemy Territory players read) - need minor help
Hi list, After sucessfully playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory on FreeBSD 5.2.1, I decided to switch my workstation to freebsd. I have large experience on the server side but kinda new to the desktop. Here are some minor annoyances i'm not being able to solve: 1. I've added a 'paw' menu to access the main menu, but I'd like the win-key to open this menu. possible? 2. Is there any app like in KDE to update the gnome (2.6.1) menus to reflect changes in installed applications? 3. Annoyances with enemy territory: - The game console isn't bound to \. I have to open it with ~, and the leading \ won't appear. This makes me send lots of commands to general chat instead of issuing them, have to remember this all the time. I did a bind \ toggleconsole, while it will bring console with \ then, it won't make it vanish. My only clue was it could be a keyboard config error, so I configured it (using gnome), layout portuguese keyboard, microsoft natural. it should be working. Also on xchat and such, if I use any letter with an accent people will see it as a '?'. How do I fix this behavior ? - Im getting some delay switching weapons and shooting. I press mouse1 and about 0.5sec later the weapon will shoot. This should be instantaneous. I don't have any idea on this one, solutions ? - CAPS LOCK key won't work ingame. Works fine on gnome. I need the caps lock key on enemy territory.

At least that's how it would with an ordinary port. One of the two of us is confused about this. As I understand it: A) Running "make build" but not "make install" doesn't really solve the "installing while running" issue. Sure, it won't install for that port, but it will build-and-install for every port upstream ... B) ... unless you're suggesting starting at the top of the dependency tree and doing build-but-don't-install by hand for every component in order. I consider this severely impractical; it also ...

Datasize change

Im using an Alcatel Speedtouch 530 Modem connected to Ethernet. My ADSL connection is fine in Windoze however the configuration for the modem is usually set through a web-browser. Do the modem settings(done via browser) affect the connection in FBSD or does the system simply take the settings from ppp.conf etc? Im somewhat confused on this point. I can ping the modem at 10.0.0.138 and can open the web interface in X. I believe your alcatel speedtouch (although I have never seen one) isn't a modem, but a router.

It looks like you wrote the disklabel for the slice to the disk or vice-versa. If you check /dev there probably isn't a /dev/ad5s* there. Try mounting /dev/ad5e instead of /dev/ad5s1e. To verify, do a bsdlabel ad5s1 to see if you have a disklabel for the slice. Otherwise you could : 1.backup you disklabel #bsdlabel /dev/ad5e > disklabel.BAK 2. write a correct disklabel for /dev/ad5s1 #bsdlabel -w -B ad5s1 3. Edit your disklabel to be correct : a. note the size values of #bsdlabel ad5s1 b. make another backup of your saved disklabel c. edit one of the backups and change the size value to the value you got from #bsdlabel ad5s1 d. write your edited disklabel to ad5s1 #bsdlabel -R ad5s1 disklabel.BAK This *should* return no errors. 4. try to mount ad5s1 Now this is all based on them hope that you don't have to erase the bad/sliceless disklabel on da5.

Hi! I have a hard disc that I think must have been set up wrong initially... It was however working fine, but at some point filled up to capacity, wherapon the next reboot it failed to mount. System is 4.8-RELEASE, Generic Kernel. Currently the disc shows: luggage# mount -r /dev/ad5s1e /mnt mount: /dev/ad5s1e on /mnt: incorrect super block luggage# disklabel -r ad5 # /dev/ad5c: type: ESDI disk: ad5s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 14593 sectors/unit: 234441585 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 2344364820unused0 0# (Cyl.0 - 14592*) e: 23443648204.2BSD16384 16384 300 # (Cyl.0 - 14592*) Warning, partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!

At this point I am stuck ... most of the "Invalid Super Block" messages I can find when searching relate to cd-roms. If I could mount the disc even read-only, I could copy the data off. Can anybody give me any clues on where to go from here?

Re: Maximum uptime 497 days?
Hi, This tickles something in the back of my memory. You aren't by chance talking about remote uptime detection, Netcraft-style, are you? IIRC, that rolls over to 0 at 497 days. But actual system uptime is unaffected. ==ml On Mon, Jun 28, 2004 at 12:39:30PM +0900, Rob wrote: > > Hi, > > By accident I happen to come across this remarkable limit of > uptime registration for FreeBSD systems.

Re: sysinstall in a jail
I do not know whether this is the proper way of doing it, but I mounted the CD using mount -v -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /usr/jail/myjail/dist Then I went back into the jail'ed environment, started up sysinstall, selected Configure/Media, choosing File System, specifying /dist, then selecting Packages, and it worked. Fred. Frederick N. Brier wrote: I am running into a problem installing packages via sysinstall within a jail using the CD media. I did a minimal install, but added the /usr/src directory. I followed the directions to setup a jail and copied /stand/sysinstall into the jail subdirectory. As per the directions, I then started up the jail and ran sysinstall. But when I attempt to install off of the cdrom media, I get the following error: "Error mounting /dev/acdoc on /dist: Operation not permitted (1)". Now it makes sense that a jail might not be allowed to mount a system device. My confusion is that these were the instructions and I have not seen any posts saying this is a problem. Is there a way to give the jail permission to access the CD device? Should I mount the CD from the host (outside the jail) but to a subdirectory the jail has access to? Such as /usr/jail/myjail/dist? Versus /dist? Thank you for any suggestions. Frederick N.
