maestro3 sound problem on Dell Inspiron 4000
I have been unable to get sound to work on my Dell Inspiron 4000 under FreeBSD 5.3. Until last Tuesday I was running 4-STABLE, under which sound would work, but only after I had put the computer to sleep (zzz), and then brought it back up. Before that, any attempt to play sound resulted in an application that thought it was playing sound, but no actual audio emanations from the laptop. Under 5.3, I have the snd_maestro3_load=YES in my loader.conf, and a kldstat confirms that maestro3 and its attendant modules are indeed loaded and seem to be functioning. Here's an output of /dev/sndstat: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: ESS Technology Maestro3 at io 0xd800 irq 5 kld snd_maestro3 (4p/1r/0v channels duplex default) I have tried the same sleep trick that worked in 4-STABLE to recover sound usage, but it does not work in this case, even though the computer's sleep and recovery therefrom seem normal. When the computer first boots, it emits a loud beep, implying that the sound *is* working at initial bootup, but must be messed up later in the boot process. I have become quite exasperated with this problem. I was wondering if any of you out there in mailing-list-land might have encountered a similar problem, or have any ideas as to what I might try to fix my issue.

Re: Custom Kernel
Okay, it turns out that I was editing the wrong file. Instead of editing the configuration file that was in the /etc/src/sys/i386/conf directory, I was editing the configuration file that I had redirected to a new directory, as indicated by the handbook. I guess I was under the impression (newbie!) that having created a symbolic link somehow allowed me to edit the redirected file. Anyway, once I edited the correct configuration file I was able to go ahead with the compilation and the install. Everything worked perfectly, and the system rebooted without incident---and faster.

installing gcc in 5.3 Release
Dear Fellows, I have installed FreeBSD 5.3 Release! I tried to run an executable from Linux. In linux this files takes: 3442 milliseconds to run. //g++-3.4.3 In freebsd it needs : 5992 milliseconds to run. So I tried to recompile the file in freebsd and it also needed 5992 milliseconds to run. But it was compiled with the native compiler g++-3.4.2 of freebsd 5.3. So I decided to install from source gcc-3.4.3 in /usr/local in FreeBSD. This is something which is a routine since I have done it millions of times in Linux! The commands I used are the following: #cd /usr/local #mkdir GCC-3.4.3 #tar xvjf gcc-3.4.3.tar.bz2 #cd GCC-3.4.3 # ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/GCC-3.4.3/ --program-suffix=-3.4.3 --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 This was complited without any problems!!! The build command though, #make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap-lean broke when the program was trying to run byacc. The error message showed that it didn't recognized byacc --something! It reported: error, usage: yacc . So I think that byacc has different syntax in freebsd! Does anybody know how to fix that?

Well, if you're going to make a symbolic link so that you're changes don't get wiped out with the next update, what you want to do is create the link in /etc/src/sys/i386/conf and point it to your file like so: # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # ln -s /path/to/YOURKERN This way, you should be able to (if you use vim): # vim /path/to/YOURKERN and edit your configuration file without touching the source conf folder. When you ln -l /usr/src/sys/i386/conf you should see something like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 22 Jun 23 12:17 YOURKERN - /path/to/YOURKERN If not, or if it points to the wrong place, then move your existing correct kernel configuration file to someplace you will remember (you can use your home dir if you want), and make a symbolic link as described above (make sure to delete any that aren't correct first). It's better that way, as otherwise the next time you cvsup your source, you might wipe out your custom config file. Anyway, once I edited the correct configuration file I was able to go ahead with the compilation and the install. Everything worked perfectly, and the system rebooted without incident---and faster.

Yes, the order is important, the cable will probably work at low speeds over short distances as long as both ends are the same, but will be unreliable at high speeds or longer distances unless you follow the correct order. Basically there are 2 standards, EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B. In Australia probably in Europe I suspect, the preferred standard is the A standard. I think the US might use the B standard? EIA/TIA-568A standard: 1 Green/White 2 Green 3 Orange/White 4 Blue 5 Blue/White 6 Orange 7 Brown/White 8 Brown (see diagram below for pin numbers) NB, the Blue pair is reversed - that's not a typo! Both ends are wired up the same way, BUT, if you want to connect 2 network cards directly together without a hub, you would need to use a crossover cable which looks like the above on one end, but the other end is wired like this: 1 Orange/White 2 Orange 3 Green/White 4 Blue 5 Blue/White 6 Green 7 Brown/White 8 Brown Pin numbers are like this (looking at the connector with the tab underneath and the cable coming from the left) |---| | | 1 | | 2 ---| | 3 | | 4 | | 5 ---| | 6 | | 7 | | 8 |---| Hope that makes sense.

what does rm // delete?
Hi, I had a directory which contained the following: ls showed me simple this: ? with 0 bytes ls -axl showed me nothing So I tried to delete the directory but could not succeed with rm -R because the directory is not empty. I changed to the directory and tried to delete everything inside with rm * but also did not succeed. It seemed that the file had no name. So than I did a mistake and wanted to delete the file with no name with the operation: rm -R // This was a big mistake which I noticed soon enough (some files in /bin were deleted). I could repair the damage but what I want to know is what exactly is rm -R // deleting. It seems that it is deleting everything?

Timezone conversion
Hi I'm trying to convert a date from one timezone into another using the date-command, but I can't seem to get it to work. The problem can be illustrated as below, though in reality I get the date from another source of course, otherwise I wouldn't have to do this. Take a date in some timezone other than your own, in this example I generate the current time in UTC: TZ=UTC date +%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z 28 Nov 2004 12:02:18 + Try to use date -j to convert a date of this format into the default display-format: TZ=CET date -j -f %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z 28 Nov 2004 12:02:18 + Warning: Ignoring 5 extraneous characters in date string (+) Sun Nov 28 12:02:18 CET 2004 The result is wrong of course because the timezone is ignored even though i specify %z in the format-string. The date in CET should be 13:02:18. Now the question; does anyone know why the %z is ignored? Am I missing something, and if so what? The man-page for the -f parameter states Parsing is done using strptime(3). and since strptime allows %z I was assuming that the example above should work. I would be really thankful for some help in getting around this. Thanks in advance.

Re: install partitioning advice needed
baldyeti [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Using a FreeBSD 4.6 CD I have, I'd like to install on an older system (P200). The machine has a 4 GB IDE drive and another 4 Gb attached via SCSI. These seem to be recognised as da0 and ad0. [Vice versa, actually...] The SCSI adapter has no ROM, and is not directly bootable. I thus suppose FreeBSD - and any OS under the circumstances - needs at least one little boot slice on the 1st (IDE) drive. I could free about 400 Mb on that drive, in an extended partition. Can FreeBSD be started from an extended partition, or will it need a primary one, and which filesystem(s) needs reside on the startup disk, with which recommended minimum size? FreeBSD can't boot out of a logical partition. You probably could install to the second disk, and just boot from a boot manager installed on the first disk, or from floppies. These are a bit tricky for beginners, though. With release 4.6, you could easily get away with a 50MB root partition on the first drive. 4.6 is distinctly outdated, though. Your easiest path is probably to go with a fairly smart bootloader.

Help with IPFW + NATD + Passive FTP
Hoping someone can provide a solution to the following problem: I am using a FBSD 4.10 box as a gateway/router/firewall between a cable modem and my home lan and its been working great for several months. All machines behind my firewall are able to connect to the outside world for http, e-mail, ping, ssh, and active ftp transfers Last night I installed FBSD 4.10 on a box behind the firewall. The installation went fine, but when I attempted to install some packages via the FBSD ports collection I ran into the known problem establishing passive FTP connections through IPFW with NATD enabled. I am able to establish ftp connections, but when the client switches to passive mode the connection hangs. So I am unable to use the ports collection or cvsup on the FBSD box behind the firewall I have been googling for several hours and found lots of references, but all the solutions I have found appear to be about allowing passive FTP connections on the box running IPFW and NATD (which my ruleset already allows - no problems using ports or cvsup from the gateway/router/firewall). I've tried several different configurations in the IPFW ruleset, but so far no luck. Here is my IPFW ruleset and my rc.conf. Hoping someone can point out the error of my ways.

Re: dependencies, it should be simple to understand if you give it a moment's thought. Let's say you have a file main.c that calls functions in foo.c. In order for main.c to compile and link properly to create a complete, executable program, it's absolutely essential that foo.c be compiled and linked in as well. What Makefile dependencies are about is ensuring that, if a change is made to foo.c, it will be recompiled and relinked with main.c to guarantee that the final executable is up to date in all respects. Certainly a sensible point, but not the way I understood 'makedepend' to work. As Conrad said, 'make' can be directed to compare the currency of the files upon which a particular product file (compiled object, library, executable, or other type) depends, so that all product files for which the components have changed _are_ rebuilt, but a maximum number of product files (i.e., unchanged objects being linked into a library) are unnecessarily rebuilt. Many of these rules I put in manually. 'make' only knows some 'generic' rules (what is done to change a *.c into a *.o, for example), plus the explicit dependencies I have written into my Makefile. 'makedepend' is a way to automatically generate the file-specific rules that can be deduced from a [source] file's own contents: usually those secondary files that are brought into it by '#include' pragmas. These auxiliary rules are written onto the Makefile and become part of it. These files are not necessarily separately compiled; I find your definition a bit misleading on this. 'makedepend' is given a list of files to scan, and places to look for included files. My 'depend' rule looks like this: +++ depend: makedepend -- $(CFLAGS) -- $(SRCS) -- $(INCLUDES) # DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -- make depend depends on it. +++ That funky last line really tells 'makedepend' where it should write the new rules onto my Makefile. Before using a Makefile on a group of sources, or when source files are added to the build, I remove all the generate rules which have been added below the '# DO NOT DELETE ...' line and rebuild the 'depend' target - which is the Makefile itself: $ make depend Typical rules automagically added by 'makedepend' are: +++ ... BufRing.o: ../Llcommon/SEBase.h StdAfx.h BufRing.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/SEBase.h StdAfx.h ../Llcommon/commonStruct.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/secureeye.h ../Llcommon/memCtrl.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/retCodes.h ../Llcommon/LiveShare.h Camera.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/Common.h Pump.h BufRing.h CamData.h Snap.h INet.h Camera.o: Player.h INet.o: ../Llcommon/SEBase.h StdAfx.h /usr/include/stdlib.h ... +++ The effect of these added rules is that if I change [say] 'BufRing.h' then do 'make all', 'BufRing.c' and 'Camera.c' would be recompiled, but not necessarily 'INet.c' 'make' isn't very bright, but (like 'cpp') it can be _very_ handy. - John Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] so we have some machine code A from a compiled object file and we have machine code B from a other compiled object file. While A is running it points to B to do some stuff. so if i understand it right without make depend we would had to recompile A and B if A needed some source changes. with make depend we only need to recompile A that also means make depend is only a shortcut, if i dont use make depend and just do make it will just compile everything right ? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Server throwing NMI ISA 20, EISA ff messages
We have various servers, with various versions of FreeBSD throwing these NMI messages: NMI ISA 3c, EISA ff NMI ISA 2c, EISA ff NMI ISA 20, EISA ff There's no information about this anywhere that I can see, but at least two other people have had the problem according to Google searches. If tripwire is running while one of these messages appears, sometimes it shows false alarms about files, indicating either memory or drive controller problems, maybe? At first we thought it might just be dodgy hardware. We were only getting the first two errors on some of our older 2U white box machines. However, this morning, we just got the third error (just prior to a complete freeze) on a modern Dell 1750, 1GB RAM, 2.8Ghz. The kernel source reveals nothing of use about what these errors could be.

5.3-Release/Stable Problems with ichsmb
Hi all. Recently i've got a dual Mainboard and one of the first things i tried was the smbus stuff. I knew that i had to put device smb and device smbus in my kernel configuration file plus a specific driver. After some googl'ing i figured out that i need the ichsmb driver in order to access the chip. So i compiled a kernel with the smb and smp stuff and after rebooting i wondered why i didn't have /dev/smb?. Loading the modules wasn't possible because they were already compiled into the kernel except the ichsmb module which gave me an error that there was no file called ichsmb.ko available. Checking /boot/kernel i realized that this was true. After compiling a second time (i updated to 5.3-release meanwhile) the error was still there an no /dev/smb? for me. Looking into the make.conf manpage showed me that i could try with MODULES_OVERRIDE. Trying make MODULES_OVERRIDE=ichsmb buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO ended with an error in ichsmb which isn't in /usr/src/sys/modules. Playing around in the sources (trying to copy sys/dev/ichsmb to sys/modules, editing some Makefiles and so on) didn't give me better results. I'm currently compiling a GENERIC Kernel (without SMP) with device smb/smbus/ichsmb but i don't expect to much from it because the module isn't available in a plain GENERIC. You guys are my last hope is there a chance of getting ichsmb somehow compiled or am i doing something wrong?

Problems with WPC11 wirelss card on FreeBSD 4.10
I just put a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.10 from CD on my Presario 1610 laptop (ancient!), and I'm trying to get a Linksys WPC11 wireless card working with my home network. The wireless card uses the Prism 2 chipset, and was recognized when I plugged it in. I did 'wicontrol -n my network SSID' and 'wicontrol -p 1'. I then tried to set up the card via DHCP in /stand/sysinstall, and failed, so I set the network information manually. However, ifconfig -a still showed status: no carrier. So I tried 'wicontrol -r 2432' thinking that I might need to have the RTS set to agree with my wireless AP, but still no luck. Except for a brief moment of connectivity, I remain unable to connect. All this took place about 5 feet from the AP, which is not using WEP, so signal should not be an issue.

/dev/dsp busy
I need help in finding the reason for the /dev/dsp busy message. fstat does not show any process using /dev/dsp. I am running 5.3 with xorg, kde 3.3.

My PC has two disks. The sysinstall sees both: ad0 and ad3. My hardware configuration is such: ad0 -- primary IDE, master (all for Win2k) ad3 -- secondary IDE, slave (all for FreeBSD 5.3) No more device on the primary IDE while a CD drive acts as the master on the secondary IDE. I used the entire space on ad3 for a FreeBSD 5.3 release installation while the ad0 contains my old Win 2k. The problem now is that I can't boot FreeBSD at all even though I had selected install boot manager during the installation. The PC went straight to Win2k every time I booted. I tried to reboot from the distribution CDROM and used the FDISK utility to make sure that the FreeBSD slice is flagged as A= but it did nothing. In the BIOS setting, I selected the slave drive, i.e. ad3, to be the first boot device, and the ad0 to be second. Still, I couldn't get to FreeBSD. It appears to me that I did not have the boot manager installed on the ad0. But when I tried to install boot manager onto the ad0, the fdisk gave me no hint where to write the MBR.

Re: USB mouse support
Trey Sizemore writes: OK...making some progress now. I have these entries (except I'm using /dev/psm0 for the time being) and now the mouse is jumping to the upper left corner of the screen and flickering menus mysteriously. Moving the mouse only causes the flickering. I used another PS/2 connected mouse (wired this time - MS Optical USB) and it gave the exact same behavior). This sounds very like a known problem some time ago involving the ACPI code, I don't remember what the outcome was, but you should check the archives of the questions@ and current@ lists for more info.

Re: Problems with WPC11 wirelss card on FreeBSD 4.10
Does the access point show that the client is associated to it? I'm new to this list, so this may be a heretic question, but have you tried the card in a Windows laptop to see if it works there?
