modem in FreeBSD 4.10

2005-01-09 Thread dkouroun

Hallo everybody!
I have a modem which works fine with Linux.
It is a soft modem which works with some Conexant
HSF drivers! Is there any way to make it work
under FreeBSD 4.10 as well? Maybe using Linux
Compatibility or some stuff like that?

Did anyone managed do  achieve something similar?

Thanks in advance!

Agreed, but this depends on what your doing with NT4.  If your an ISP and
your running NT4 or 2K or one of the Microsoft server platforms as a 
virtual host server for customers to use, then it is going to get stuffed
up at least once every 3-4 months and have to be rebooted.  And if a
customer is writing their own ASP code then watch out!  Crashes may occur
daily!

We know this from experience and we have several MCSE's on staff and run
the stuff on Compaq Proliants, we know how to admin Microsoft products.

Generally in an internal corporate setting where little changes on the
server, once you have one of the Windows server platforms properly
setup, as long as your using brand-name hardware, they will run for a
long time without trouble.

Usually once when I first install the OS, then never again (unless I
change something in the hardware, which I hardly ever do).  Windows
often has to be rebooted just to install a new application (although
that's a problem with the application, not a problem with the OS, in
most cases).

But neither FreeBSD nor NT-based versions of Windows (which includes XP)
crash on their own in the absence of hardware problems or buggy,
privileged, third-party code (I'm thinking specifically of Windows
device drivers here).

 Subject: I quit

 Hello, 

 I have spent at least two weeks of my free time downloading 5.3 
 and trying to get it to work. 

 My opinion is that x.org isn't integrated quite well enough yet 
 for prime time. My BSD books don't have the new 
 commands and other information to be of any use and the Man pages 
 that downloaded were of no help either. 

Your problem is your under the mistaken assumption that you are
supposed to be downloading ISOs and such in order to get a 
non-Windows desktop.  Probably your not an IT professional and
coming at this from an end user perspective.

If that is the case then you want to quit fooling around with
downloading FreeBSD or Slackware or some baloney like that, and
go oout and BUY something like a Dell Precision n series 1
workstation with Red Hat Linux preloaded on it.  $959, a great deal.

Or, if your a cloner, go to your local chop-shop and buy one
of their Linux preloads.  Fry's Electronics even sells cheap
ones of these for about $200 on sale at times.

THOSE are the non-Windows, non-Apple solutions that the computer
industry has created for people like you and believe me, they are
VERY 'ready for prime time'

If you find this insulting I would suggest you consider that your
last machine you bought undoubtedly came with MS Windows preloaded
on it - are you insulted by that?

The ISO images that you download over the Internet are for techies
who WANT to learn how the system really works underneith.  They
LIKE IT when things break down because how do you learn anything
if you don't have to fix a few problems?

They are NOT for people who just want a solid reliable system so they
can run Trade Station.  For people like you who want to do that,
you are supposed to purchase your computer with Linux preloaded
on it - Microsoft would say exactly the same thing, although they
would say to buy a machine with Windows preloaded on it.

 Right now I have to have Windows up and running also and am 
 watching it go into a self destruct mode from somthing 
 that it downloaded from the net all by it's self with no human 
 operator touching it.  There are so many Popups I 
 had to pull the net cable just to stop it.  They don't get no respect. 

 It is my hope that the various Windows emulators will/are working 
 well enough to run some of my mission critical 
 programs.  Espesially 'Trade Station' .  I can't imagine having 
 thousands of dollars riding on Microsoft 
 reliability. 

http://www.vmware.com/download/

VMware Workstation 4.5

Download the eval and find out.  If it works you purchase it and get
support.  Even better than the real Windows where you purchase it
and don't get support - you have to keep purchasing that in addition, too.

can't re-use a leaf (BusType) !

Hi,

I'm trying to use the ndis-wrapper to get my Z-Com XG-602MB (802.11g) mini-pci 
wi-fi card working. Got the ndis part going : compiled the .inf and .sys 
stuff, added the needed lines to my kernel, added the lines 
to /boot/loader.conf. But now I see in my dmesg the following error lines : 
can't re-use a leaf. 

Searching the list archive showed something about adding device puc to the 
kernel, with the supported cards in /sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c, but my card isn't 
in the list... :-( Would adding this to my kernel solve this ?

 I am researching the viability of constructing a Network Access Server
 using FreeBSD,

Martes,

  You will have a lot better luck buying a used US Robotics HyperARC or
some such to use as a terminal (modem) server.  These take a PRI which
allows you to serve 56K.

  If you only have need of a few ports, buy something like a
Perle 8331S Access server
http://www.perle.com/products/prod_family/access_servers/833_is.html

or a CommPlete 4000 server
http://www.multitech.com/PRODUCTS/Families/CommPlete4000/

which you can sometimes find used ones like here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=1484item=5740567438;
rd=1ssPageName=WD1V

These devices take ISDN BRIs and allow V.90 dialin to them.  And since
they have no moving parts they are much more robust than any PC solution.

All seemed to go well untill I tryed to configure the X.org windowing system. Nothing in /stand/sysinstall would
do any configuration of X. Went to the net and got instructions. Finally got X to work and found vidtune.

Kdm comes up with a log in screen which just leads to another log in screen. ctrl-alt-backspace won't turn x off
as it keeps comming back on it's own. Nothing leads to a window manager other than the little one that comes with
X.
I sounds like you have started X by setting xdm on in /etc/ttys, I would
recommend you not to do that first time you start up X but rather use
startx. To get the console, press crtl-alt-F1, X is normally on F9.

To understand a bit about how X works: When X starts your session, it
will look for the file .xinitrc in your home directory and execute the
programs listed, if you have no .xinitrc the default system file is
used: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Usually only your windows manager is listed. Once the last program in
.xinitrc exists, X terminates your session. If you started X by setting
xdm on in /etc/ttys, X gives you a new login promt, otherwise you will
return to the console.

So, it may not be X, but your window manager that is screwed, maybe you
have a core-dump file in your home directory - that would indicate it.

If you use startx instead and X crashes for whatever reason, you should
have some error output on the console you can post here on the list.

To see if it's your window manager, try a different one, I like fluxbox
because it's lightweight. gnome/kde are quite heavy.

Just try this before you give up on FreeBSD.

asynchronous packet loss

2005-01-09 Thread Thomas Beer

Hi,

I'm dealing with this issue since six weeks or so with
no avail or a clear source of failure. So this
may be my last chance. I have a 5.2.1 R Wifi access
point on a Netgear MA 311 and two clients. I tested this
with different versions of firmware. One client,
a 5.3 B-7 has no problems in both directions for TCP/IP
traffic.The second is a XP-SP2 laptop. If I ping from the
XP to the 5.2.1 R i get 0% Packet loss. The other 
way around will have a packet loss of appr. 70% at the
same time. Further more drops the packet loss to
appr. 10-20% if there is huge traffic on the segment
(i.e. copying some MB etc.).

Any help is highly appreciated

Are you sure the machine which is running apache in visible from outside?
example
gw (public ip) - pc-lan1 (private) - pc-lan2/apache (private)
if you are not doing port redirecting on 80, ppl connecting to you from 
outside will watch the port 80 on your gw (which is close). Then, I 
suggest to redirect icoming connection on 80 on your machine running apache.
You can do it in serval ways, just check what do u use and prefer.
Hope this help,

I can definitely see this. I run five or six small servers at home

run a mixture of Open+FreeBSD. I spent a good week taking the system
apart, removing things, tweaking scripts etc. On the eigth day,
they were all running nicely and locked up tighter than a ducks
arse. I was left twiddling my thumbs. I contemplated logging into
a few of them and typing random commands as root so I might have

 for the root directory and loaded it again. 

Remember when you first started using windows? It probably took you a good year 
to get a decent feel for how to use it.
FreeBSD will be much quicker... we really do have a kick-ass support system.
 
You can install into a partition that small, but it would be better to setup at 
least 3Gb and do a full install. This will 
allow you access to all the options, docs, man pages, ports, etc.. Seeing as 
how hard drives are very cheep now, it would be worth
getting another one if you must keep windows and you don't have the space. The 
head aches you will save your self by installing everything
on the FreeBSD cd will be worth the $50+ bucks you spend. As you get to know 
FreeBSD better you will have a better idea of what you don't
want/need.

You can install everything into one partition, though its recommended to make a 
few different partitions:

For a full install this would be a decent guideline:

/   200mb
/var  200mb-500mb
/usr2gb+ (anything new installed from ports or pkg_add will install into 
this /dir/ so give it all the space you can spare
swap 2x the ram (NOTE: you can also make a swapfile (the handbook has a 
step-by-step on this, see below for handbook location)

Also you might want to creat a seperate partition for /usr/home and /etc so if 
you ever need to do a full reinstall, all settings will be stored on these
partitions.

Another option is to just do backups of these directories if you don't want to 
mess with the partitions.

  
 All seemed to go well untill I tryed to configure the X.org windowing system. 
  Nothing in /stand/sysinstall would 
 do any configuration of X.  Went to the net and got instructions.  Finally 
 got X to work and found vidtune. 


To configure xorg from the command line you'll want to use:

xorgcfg

 Kdm comes up with a log in screen which just leads to another log in screen.  
 ctrl-alt-backspace won't turn x off 
 as it keeps comming back on it's own.  Nothing leads to a window manager 
 other than the little one that comes with 
 X. 
  
 I re-downloaded the window managers from the net and hoped that would fix it. 
 It didn't.  I'm sure that the trouble 
 is in some little config file somewhere or another  but I just don't have the 
 time as I need a running system 
 going. 

Most config files (%90+) are in 3 places:

/etc/   (network wide config)
/usr/local/etc/ (local system config)
/usr/home/username/ (user specific stuff)

The file you want is:

/etc/ttys is the file

Find a line like this and make sure its says off and not on

ttyv8  /usr/X11R6/bin/kdm -nodaemon  xterm   on secure

This will disable kdm and you will get a console login prompt after the system 
boots.
After logining in to the console you can start xorg up with the command:

startx

For this to work you will need to add a line to /usr/home/username/.xinitrc ( 
~/.xinitrc for short ) or you will get the default window manager.
For kde add this to ~/.xinitrc:

startkde

Quick way to write this to the file:
echo startkde  ~/.xinitrc

If you don't have a desktop installed yet you will need to install it (sounds 
like you do if you have kdm starting up).
as root do:

pkg_add -r kde3

or

cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3
make install clean

The second option will take a long time (1-3 days) as it will download the 
source for everything and compile it!

This is also assuming that you have a connection established to the internet. 
It sounded like you do.

 My opinion is that x.org isn't integrated quite well enough yet for prime 
 time. My BSD books don't have the new 
 commands and other information to be of any use and the Man pages that 
 downloaded were of no help either. 

The man pages should have been installed when you installed the system, no need 
to download anything.
man man

The handbook is probably the best source of info if you want something that is 
a little easier to read, as manpages don't have a good index as of yet. 
If you installed it, it will be in:

/usr/share/doc/handbook

You will need a web browser as it is in html format, if you don't have xorg up 
and running, install lynx or links. They are command line web browsers.
You will find them in the ports or you can:

pkg_add -r lynx
pkg_add -r links

Then:

cd /usr/share/doc/handbook
man lynx
lynx ./index.html

You can also access the handbook from a link on:
http://www.freebsd.org/
or directly from this email at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Also check your firewall rules and make sure that they aren't blocking

If you are using ipfw you will need something like this in /etc/rc.firewall for

Netscape is acting silly.  Avoid downloading ISO images with it.  The
ISO images are available through FTP, so you can use any plain good old
FTP client[1] to get a copy of the images.

[1] Even the command line ftp program that comes with Windows can be
used, if you feel like doing so.

You got past that though, so I assume you found a way to circumvent the
Netscape bugs.

The minimum size of the disk area you assign to FreeBSD depends on a lot
of factors: the distribution you choose (base system parts), the extra
packages you wish to install, the space you want to keep free for your
own work, etc.

For an X11 workstation, on which KDE or Gnome and/or a GUI development
environment will be used, I recommend at least 8 GB these days.  Disk
space isn't so expensive anymore and having at least 3-4 GB of free
space will allow

 All seemed to go well untill I tryed to configure the X.org windowing
 system.  Nothing in /stand/sysinstall would do any configuration of X.
 Went to the net and got instructions.  Finally got X to work and found

You should really, and I mean REALLY, print yourself a couple of the
Handbook chapters before embarking on an installation.  The instructions
for installing FreeBSD, configuring it at post-install time, setting up
X11, installing KDE or Gnome from the package collection, starting KDM
and letting it fire up KDE instead of the plain but relatively archaic
twm desktop, are all there.

The absolutely _minimum_ set of chapters you should read and keep around
while installing FreeBSD are:

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

 Kdm comes up with a log in screen which just leads to another log in
 screen.  ctrl-alt-backspace won't turn x off as it keeps comming back
 on it's own.  Nothing leads to a window manager other than the little
 one that comes with X.

This is *EXACTLY* what kdm is supposed to do.  It fires up X11 once for
every 'session' you log into.

 I re-downloaded the window managers from the net and hoped that would
 fix it. It didn't.  I'm sure that the trouble is in some little config
 file somewhere or another  but I just don't have the time as I need a
 running system going.

Downloading more stuff won't fix what you are using.  Reading the
documentation (i.e. the Handbook) will.  Please do read it.

Cheers,

Giorgos

Most adsl gateways/modems have a web based configuration system, you should be 
able to access it from:

Look over the options and see if there is a status section, this will more

The FreeBSD Handbook is priceless.

The next time you decide to install FreeBSD as a newuser, i suggest
you read through the handbook at least once.

Remember: The FreeBSD Community and the Handbook Team, to be specific,

Prime Time, in it's truest sense, would suggest that FreeBSD is 
targetted at a mass market -- it is not.  The mass market is not 
characterized, primarily, as thinkers.   The FreeBSD user community 
would be better described as system users and administrators who enjoy 
technical aspects of computing; and who insist on controlling the 
operating system.  I'm not trying to insult you, or suggest that you're 
not a thinker.  I am trying to clear up any misconceptions about 
FreeBSD.  The strengths of MS Windows lead to its weaknesses.  The 
lack of those strengths in FreeBSD lead to a robust, stable operating 
system; but require more work on the part of the user -- no loose 
nuts between the chair and the keyboard.  (I can't remember where I 
first heard that phrase.)

If you're looking for an easy (effortless) Windows replacement, I would 
suggest either Mac OSX or Xandros Linux.

Mac OSX is based upon FreeBSD and may have native versions of the 
applications you need.  I talked my 11 year old nephew through an 
operating system upgrade (clean installation) of his ibook over the 
phone -- including wireless networking with WEP.

Xandros Linux has an impressive installation process.  Further, the 
Deluxe and Business versions come with CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office, 
which makes the installation of many Windows applications a breeze.  
See CodeWeavers' website for supported Windows applications:

http://www.codeweavers.com/

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

 init [-S size] [-w] plex | subdisk
 vinum init initializes a subdisk by writing zeroes to it.  You
 can initialize all subdisks in a plex by specifying the plex
 name.  This is the only way to ensure consistent data in a plex.
 You must perform this initialization before using a RAID-5 plex.
 It is also recommended for other new plexes.  vinum initializes
 all subdisks of a plex in parallel.  Since this operation can
 take a long time, it is normally performed in the background.  If
 you want to wait for completion of the command, use the -w (wait)
 option.

 Specify the -S option if you want to write blocks of a different
 size from the default value of 16 kB.  vinum prints a console
 message when the initialization is complete.

relatively frequent kernel crashes, whereas with XP my impression has been
that the kernel itself is quite robust but the user shell and interface
components are so tightly integrated with application behavior that
application failure leaves them dead in the water.  This is not disimilar
to related failure modes on Mac OS X and using X11/KDE on BSD, and

Re: DNS problems

I am no expert by any means, but the problem I was having sounds simular. I 
had a fresh install on friday, I could get to the web but dns resolutions 
were incredibly, slow and timing out most of the time.  But my box is now 
working perfectly.

#1 you dns nameservers addresses need to be in /etc/resolv.conf

this still did not solve my problem but it should.  I had to cvsup my /usr/src

something changed in the sources but it worked for me.

 Ah, this point fascinates me. Running for years? Do you ever have to
 recompile your kernel? :) 

The longest personal uptime I've had is just under two years, and that was
for a UPS-backed natbox in my parents' basement.  I updated the userspace
remotely as needed, but never bothered to reboot it as there wasn't really
a motivation for a kernel update given its environment (the user space
updates were for things like sendmail vulnerabilities).  At some point,
the power went out for longer than the UPS could keep it up, so the uptime
went tumbling down...  I think it was up for about 540-550 days at that
point.

Re: ip address behind router ?

On Sun, Jan 09, 2005 at 02:38:56PM +0100, FreeBsdBeni wrote:
 Hi,
 
 How do I find what ip address I'm really having ? 
 My adsl modem/firewall gives me a dynamic private address : 192.168.1.101, 
 which is what I see with an ifconfig. But how do I find the real (dynamic) 
 address given to my modem by my provider ?

That's not as easy as it sounds, esp. if you're using NAT on the router.
The config is basically this:


+---+ 192.168.1.101   ++ A.B.C.D 
| Your_Host |-| Router |//-+
+---+ 192.168.1.1 ++   |
   |
   | E.F.G.H
 ++
 | ISP Router | 
 ++ 


So basically, Your_Host has no way (and no need) to know A.B.C.D
or E.F.G.H

Now you could try a combination of traceroute(8) and ping(8) to
get that address. For example, try the -R Record Route option to
ping(8):

% ping -R www.freebsd.org

If your Router is configured to honor RR requests, it will list
its A.B.C.D address in the reply, and ping will show it as
the first RR-Record in the list of max. 9 route records that
you can get out of the ICMP protocol spec.

Another way to do this, is to enable a routing daemon on
the router, and use some utility on Your_Host to listen
to the routing updates, or even query those updates with SNMP.
But not every router supports this option. Sometimes, you
can also query the ISP Router directly, but that's also
unreliable, since most ISPs block SNMP requests on the last
mile for security reasons.

You may as well try to get the info from the HTTP config managemnt
interface of your router http://192.168.1.1:80/ or so.

 I'm using 5.3-rel-p4.

Re: Freebsd 5.3 Performance

Robert Watson writes:

RW The problems I have on the Windows XP platform appear to come from a
RW lack of robustness in the face of nasty application failure.

A problem with the Windows environment as a whole is that applications
tend to assume that they have the entire machine to themselves, and
behave without any consideration for other programs that may be running
on the same machine.  In addition, Windows programmers (at least those
with no experience outside of a PC environment) tend to vastly overused
system calls and privileges that can destabilize the entire machine;
many relatively mundane applications won't even install unless they can
have privileges that they shouldn't really need.

The net result is a far less stable platform than might otherwise be
possible.  It's all a consequence of the old MS-DOS paradigm, in which
there is only one user and one program at a time, and any program can
(and sometimes must) talk directly to the hardware and occasionally even
override the OS.

The NT family of operating systems corrected this in large part by
introducing tight security concepts.  But most Windows applications
ignore or override these security features, making them moot.  And
Microsoft has aggravated the problem by removing or disabling features
in NT versions such as Windows XP in order to increase compatibility and
user-friendliness.  Even NT 4.0 sacrificed security and stability just
so that it could have a clone of the modern Windows 95 GUI.

All of this is in contrast to UNIX, which, like so many other multiuser
timesharing systems, has been obligated from the start to pay close
attention to keeping users and programs separate.  Ordinary UNIX user
programs are aware of the fact that they are not alone and are written
with security restrictions and the need for coexistence already in mind.
In consequence, it's rare for a UNIX user program to do anything that
destabilizes an entire system.

Another way of looking at it is that, under Windows, practically every
user program is the equivalent of a privileged daemon, potentially
running roughshod over system stability.

Having to support a GUI also destabilizes just about any system, and of
course Windows depends on GUIs, although UNIX does not.

RW At work we use Windows with the usual combination of Microsoft
RW office and e-mail products, as well as tools like Acrobat. It seems
RW things go horribly wrong in the interactions between the components
RW (especially Acrobat integration into IE), and this leaves the system
RW in a poor state (often wedged). Lower level OS bits keep responding
RW to pings, but a hard boot is required to get anywhere useful.

You're in a state where technically the system is up and running, and
the OS is healthy, but the interaction and conflict between all the
application programs you wish to run is so complex that any kind of
error in one of them effectively stalls or kills them all.  The only
easy cure is a reboot.

This is one argument against using application suites, as they are more
likely to try to take over the machine and cause conflicts in
consequence than are isolated, standalone applications.  So Office or
Lotus Notes is a lot more hazardous to run than some individual,
free-standing application programs that make no assumptions about what
else is on the machine.

For this reason I'm very wary of installing anything from Microsoft
these days, and only slightly less wary of companies like Adobe.  They
increasingly try to convert the entire PC to their own chosen
environment during installation.

RW NT4 appeared a lot less robust with relatively frequent kernel
RW crashes, whereas with XP my impression has been that the kernel
RW itself is quite robust but the user shell and interface components
RW are so tightly integrated with application behavior that application
RW failure leaves them dead in the water.

I didn't find NT to lack robustness, but I agree that XP and indeed all
newer versions of Windows have confused the border between OS and
applications so thoroughly that the net result is an overall
destabilization of the machine.

The extreme lack of transparency in Windows is a problem, too.  You
never really know what's going on behind the scenes.  This is far less
of a problem with legacy operating systems like UNIX that were designed
to be fiddled with directly by administrators.

RW This is not disimilar to related failure modes on Mac OS X and using
RW X11/KDE on BSD, and suggests maybe part of the problem is in the
RW architecture of how we layer system applications over windowing
RW mechanisms.

I completely agree.  It's a general problem with any architecture of
this kind (just installing a GUI is already a big step down the path of
danger), but it's most obvious in the environments that depend most
heavily on GUIs, such as Windows and the Mac.  Of course, if you run a
GUI on UNIX, you'll see similar problems there as well.

To me it's too high a price to pay just for a pretty interface

But sorry if i insist, the file to save is very-very important for me.
This file contains the openoffice data of my work.
So, i can't do any mistake and have no experience with 'cat', 'split' or

His name is 'home.tar.bz2' !! and is 2.4GB long.
I've to find a way to save that file anywhere and must be accessed by 
my FBSD 5.3 as by another linux disk.
To do that i've created a second partition /dev/hda4 with a ext3 fs 
can be accessed by my FBSD as by the linux disk.

I can cp this file from that ext3 partition to FBSD but after changed and 
retarred/bzip2 My FBSD won't cp it to that partition  File too large.

I can of course split that file, in this case it must be possible to join the 
resulting files from FBSD as by linux.

I don't know if linux can join these files, splitted by FBSD, with a 'cat'.

Anybody can help me with this issue ?

Re: AGP not working on nForce3

On 01/09/05 06:45 PM, Mats Kristoffersen sat at the `puter and typed:
 I have trouble with AGP using the nVidia drivers from ports.
 
 I have a MSI K8N neo2 motherboard (nForce3 Ultra), an Athlon64 3000+ CPU 
 and a GeForce FX 5200. I'm running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE in i386 mode.

Exactly the card I'm using, but I'm not using an Athlon.

 When I load the nvidia drivers, it says:
 
 agp0: NVIDIA Generic AGP Controller mem 0xe800-0xefff at 
 device 0.0 on pci0
 agp0: Unable to find NVIDIA Memory Controller 1.

That's the kernel agp.  You might want to pull it out of the kernel
and use the Nvidia agp.

 device_attach: agp0 attach returned 19
 nvidia0: GeForce FX 5200 mem 
 0xf000-0xf3ff,0xf400-0xf4ff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1
 nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

Looks like a 64M card?  Mines 128M, but that shouldn't matter here.

 When I startx, it says
 
 NVRM: AGP cannot be enabled on this combination of the AMD CPU and OS kernel
 NVRM: kernel upgrade recommended.

You need to pick an AGP driver.  This is done in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
with the NvAGP setting.  I use
Option NvAGP 1 # Use Nvidia agp
Of course, I had to remove the agp device from my kernel.  It may also
be necessary for you to build a custom kernel that makes use of some
Athlon specific features - I'm using a Pentium myself, but there are
plenty of folks on the list that can recommend options and devices to
look at.

 There is no /dev/agp or similar. Having agp enabled or disabled in the 
 kernel or loading agp.ko dynamically makes no difference.

The absence of a /dev/agp is not important.  agp.ko is the FreeBSD agp
driver, you might be better with the nvidia agp.

 Nvidia-related sysctl variables:
 hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 8x 4x
 hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: supported
 hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: supported
 hw.nvidia.agp.card.registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x
 hw.nvidia.version: NVIDIA FreeBSD x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module  1.0-6113 Mon Aug

 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableVia4x: 0
 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableALiAGP: 0
 hw.nvidia.registry.NvAGP: 3
  ^
Setting this to 3 tells the driver to try the native AGP first.  I had
trouble with this, and had to compile the agp device out of my kernel
to get it to work right.  Notice below that I set NvAGP to 1.

 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPSBA: 0
 hw.nvidia.registry.EnableAGPFW: 0

 dev.nvidia.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x10de device=0x0322 subvendor=0x 
 subdevice=0x class=0x03
 dev.nvidia.0.%parent: pci1

I'm not seeing your hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate sysctl there, which
suggests the NVidia AGP isn't being loaded.  It may be having trouble
with the native AGP driver, but the failover isn't working because
there's a conflict - I had the same problem until I removed the native
agp device.

How did you compile the drivers?  My pkgtools.conf uses the following:
   'WITHOUT_LINUX=yes',
   'WITH_ACPI=yes',
This makes upgrades a little smoother.

My kernel config has the agp device removed, so the hw.nvidia sysctls
show the nvidia agp status:
# sysctl hw.nvidia.agp
hw.nvidia.agp.host-bridge.rates: 8x 4x 
hw.nvidia.agp.host-bridge.fw: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.host-bridge.sba: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.host-bridge.registers: 0x1f004a1b:0x0b02
hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates: 8x 4x 
hw.nvidia.agp.card.fw: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.card.sba: supported
hw.nvidia.agp.card.registers: 0x1f000e1b:0x1f004302
hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: nvidia
hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 8x
hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: enabled

I don't know the exact nature of the fw (fast writes) sysctl, but it
doesn't seem to be supported in the FX5200.  The key you'll be looking
for is the hw.nvidia.agp.status.status sysctl, and it should say
enabled.  The hw.nvidia.agp.card.rates var should give you the
acceleration rates you are getting.

You might give that a try.  Just comment out the agp in your kernel,
don't delete it yet - just in case the nvidia agp doesn't like the
athlon for some reason.

Also, you'll want to make sure your xorg.conf has a good config.  I'm
using the TwinView feature, so my graphics device section won't
necessarily apply fully.  Just in case it will help, this is what I
use:

Section Device
Identifier NV AGP TwinView
VendorName  nVidia Corporation
Driver nvidia
# update this with the PCI id of your card.  Consult the output
# of the 'lspci' command. The  BusID is usually optional when

Here is my advice:
install archivers/rar
and archivers/par2cmdline
The following script will split your file into 25meg chunks,
build a cd_9660 iso of them and provide a way to recover damaged files 
just in case, later on.

assuming you file name is:
home.tar.bz2
then run the following script as:

./backup.sh home.tar {don't add the .bz2}

#!/bin/sh
if test $1
then
echomkdir $1; cd $1; rar a -s -m5 -v25m $1.rar 
../$1.bz2
mkdir $1; cd $1; rar a -s -m5 -v25m $1.rar ../$1.bz2

echocd $1;par2 c -r15 -u $1 $1.part*.rar
cd $1;par2 c -r15 -u $1 $1.part*.rar

echo verifing archive
par2verify $1/$1.par2

echo mkisofs -JR -o $1.iso
mkisofs -JR -o $1.iso $1
else
echo command line syntax is \backup.sh {bz2 file name to back 
up}\
fi

Note: this script is not tested so it may need a little tweaking, it 
would also be improved if it could abort if the par2verify $1/$1.par2 
step fails but I don't know enough about scripting to do that, does 
anyone else?

 I tried 'find /usr/ports -name mkiso*' before submitting my question.
 It yielded nothing because mkisofs is 'hidden' inside cdrtools. I guess
 I ought to have known this, as I have used if for a couple of years, but
 I had forgotten.

A more typical search is:
cd /usr/ports
make search key=mkiso

This may or may not yield anything useful.  I tend to use the Jeffrey
Friedl search tool, which is a much faster implementation of the 
find . -type f -name pkg-descr | xargs grep -i name
method.

Many people will recognize his name.  He literally wrote the book on
regular expressions.  This tool is probably the one I use more than
any other when looking for something.  Second thing I use when I know
all or part of the file name is locate(1).

I found it some 5 or 6 years ago - Jeffrey wrote it in 1994, and I
have (fortunately) been able to hang on to it ever since.  The license
is open:

First of all: File too large means that filesystem doesn't support such 
long files. You can't do anything with it.
For you information, ISO filesystem doesn't support  2Gb files too.
Of course, split and cat utilities will work both in FreeBSD and any

You even can cat and ungzip files under Windows (in Cygwin enviroment).

You probably should get rid of the mkisofs -JR -o $1.iso $1 line 
because it will be too big.  If you will be burning to CD-Rs then make  
(2400/700=4) 4 sperate directories and divide all of the files in
/home.tar equally amongst them then run something like:

 mkisofs -JR -o home.tar.1.iso home.tar-1
 mkisofs -JR -o home.tar.2.iso home.tar-2
 mkisofs -JR -o home.tar.3.iso home.tar-3
 mkisofs -JR -o home.tar.4.iso home.tar-4

on each directory.

Nautilus Issues

2005-01-09 Thread Mick Walker

Hi All, 

I have just upgraded from gnome 2.6 to gnome 2.8. 
This upgrade also upgraded nautilus to 2.8.2. 
The issue I am having is viewing image files with nautilus, the previous
version allowed me to view images in the same browser window that I was
browsing the file system with, however in the newer version I can't find
the setting to allow me to do this, I have looked through the gconf
settings, and can't seem to find a setting that related to this feature.
But maybe it is a case of me not being able to see the forest for the
trees. 
Currently when I double click on a image file, eog is loaded in a
separate window. Does anyone know how I can revert back to the previous
way of viewing images I mentioned above? 

Thanks for your time.

that it's already removed from the kernel, but that doesn't make sense
if you're getting the agp0: console output.  I'm assuming the kernel
was rebuilt since that config was commented out, but is that config
the one that was used?
Yes, I recompiled with just WITH_ACPI, and now it's 1 as default.
I even cvsupped world and rebuilt, and now nvidia.ko doesn't try the
agp0 stuff. I guess that's progress, but AGP still doesn't work.
Then you should definitely not be compiling the drivers with
WITH_FREEBSD_AGP.  Try recompiling without that config.  Linux support
is probably not a problem, so don't worry about that.
What would the NvAGP 3 option do, then, if it couldn't fall back on 
nvidia's agp implementation? I supposed it could do both if you built 
with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP. Oh well, it's gone now.

What do you get from the command kldstat?

Hi there

I have updatet to

the vesa driver is fine in 640x480 but it is not possible to have it

any other ideas ?
could it work with xfree86 instead of xorg ?

5.3 and CD/DVD ROM

2005-01-09 Thread draco

Hello!
I am using FreeBSD on my laptop as a desktop OS. I am quite pleased by 
its - the FreeBSD's - general reliability. I was using 5.2.1 previously 
too, I've upgraded to 5.3-STABLE in the middle of the December 2004.

Few days later I noticed that I cannot mount any of my CD ROMs anymore. 
When I do:

#mount -t cd9600 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom
there drive spins up, its LED gets on, and ... nothing happens for some 
time. Simultaneously I can observe messages on the console such as:

acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
acd0: TIMEOUT - READ_BIG retrying (2 retries left)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out
(yes, seven times), and then the mount commands answers
cd9660: /dev/acd0: Input/output error
Here's the drive name as returned by dmesg:
acd0: CDRW TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212/1314 at ata1-master UDMA33
Here's the sysctl settings for ATA:
hw.ata.ata_dma: 1
hw.ata.wc: 1
hw.ata.atapi_dma: 1
Here's the atacontrol list output for channel 1:
ATA channel 1:
Master: acd0 TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212/1314 ATA/ATAPI revision 5
Slave:   no device present
Here's the atacontrol mode output for channel 1:
Master = UDMA33
Slave  = BIOSPIO
The machine is Toshiba Satellite 1405-S151.
I am using a custom kernel, but the generic kernel distributed on the 
bootable ISO image had exactly the same problem, when it came do acd0 
initialization. In my kernel config file I have:

# ATA and ATAPI devices
device  ata
device  atadisk # ATA disk drives
device  atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives
options ATA_STATIC_ID   #Static device numbering
The CD-ROMs I am trying to mount are:
1) burned (yes, I read this list's archive before asking the question);
2) these are data CD's with ISO filesystem on them;
3) these CDs are burned properly (Windows XP on the same machine has no 
problem mounting them; more over, FreeBSD 5.2.1 running on the same 
machine had no problem mounting them);

What can I do to get the drive working?
Thanks,
KMK

Re: AGP not working on nForce3

On 01/09/05 08:38 PM, Mats Kristoffersen sat at the `puter and typed:
   SNIP
  
  That may be why NvAGP overrides to 3.  Using NvAGP 1, but
  compiling the drivers with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP should be mutually
  exclusive.  One tells the driver to use the NVidia AGP, the other
  tells it to use the native FreeBSD AGP.  Like I said, you need to
  pick one.  The NVidia AGP is probably the better choice.  You
  mention below that it's already removed from the kernel, but that

 even cvsupped world and rebuilt, and now nvidia.ko doesn't try the
 agp0 stuff. I guess that's progress, but AGP still doesn't work.

Progress is very often nothing more than a change in error conditions
:)

Ok, how about the hw.nvidia sysctls and the logs?  Any warnings (WW)
or errors (EE) in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?  There will probably be a
couple warnings related to modes, but those are probably not directly
related.

Every time you make a change, check the hw.nvidia.agp.status sysctls.
Mine are as follows:
hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: nvidia
hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 8x
hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: enabled

You might have a couple differences, particularly the fw and sba
values, but you want the rate to be 8x or at least 4x, and status
enabled.  As you track down warnings and errors in the Xorg.0.log
file, you will probably be able to guess what kind of changes are
needed in xorg.conf.  Check the README.Linux file in the NVidia driver
directory mentioned before for any tokens mentioned in those warning
or error log entries.  You will probably have to try different
settings to eliminate the warnings or errors, but it's just a config
change and X restart (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace).  Compile/reinstall stuff is
probably not needed at this point.

  Then you should definitely not be compiling the drivers with
  WITH_FREEBSD_AGP.  Try recompiling without that config.  Linux support
  is probably not a problem, so don't worry about that.
 
 What would the NvAGP 3 option do, then, if it couldn't fall back on 
 nvidia's agp implementation? I supposed it could do both if you built 
 with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP. Oh well, it's gone now.

I couldn't tell you why it's there if it seems to conflict so.
Probably it's more a config to tell the driver that it might be there,
but might not?  That way, if you set NvAGP 3, you'll wind up with
whichever one works - assuming it does work.  I was using the native
FreeBSD AGP driver at one point, but it didn't work.  When it's
compiled into the kernel, the sysctls can be read with
`sysctl -a | grep agp` but I don't know exactly where they are.

  What do you get from the command kldstat?

Opengroupware

Hi,

On FreeBSD 5.3 you can install Opengroupware from the ports without any
warning or error. When you start Opengroupware it is complaining about a
missing /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6

OpenSSL 0.9.7d is installed and working. Has anyone Opengroupware running on
FreeBSD 5.3?

Lost my X11 config - what was the old tool to build it?

2005-01-09 Thread John

Before Win98 destroyed my nice FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE installation on
my Compaq Armada M700 laptop, I had a really good X configuration
which, if I remember correctly, was generated almost entirely
automatically somehow.  (No, I didn't have a backup of that config
file, and I've already kick myself many times.) Anyway, I am trying
to get this back up and running with XFree86 4.3.0 and FreeBSD
5.2.1.

I sure can't get anything that's useful now from the X86Config
script - all it does is ask me questions that I don't really know
the answer to - partly because it is a Laptop, and I can't just
easily see what the built-in adapter is.  Whatever configuration
utility that I ran before, I sure can't find it now - it seemed
to make VERY good recommendations, and I could sure use some!

I've checked the XFree86 web site, and didn't find much useful there.

I've done global web searches for XFree86 and this laptop, but
they must be for versions that are too old, because they don't
work for me, complaining of Drivers that don't exist, and so forth.

I'd be tempted to just reload 4.9-RELEASE and re-do it from there,
but I'm afraid I may run into a similar problem - where the config
file there, even if I get it, won't work with the new stuff.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Re: Opengroupware

First of all this is a port which requires the Linux/ELF

Second - You shouldn't search in /usr/lib for required
libraries. Instead you should search in ...
 - /compat/linux/usr/lib
Because Opengroupware is searching for the Linux version
of OpenSSL!
I bet you'll find something like this ...

Do you see the problem? It is  libssl.so.0.9.6b 
but Opengroupware is searching for  libssl.so.0.9.6 
So this should solve the problem:

Updating a running jail

2005-01-09 Thread Tom McLaughlin

Hi, I have a machine which I am running a jail on to be used as a clean
work space for ports work.  I got tired of messing up the ports tree and
installed ports on my desktop so I figured a jails would be the best
solution.  The jail host is running FreeBSD-stable because I'm waiting
for some changes in FreeBSD-6 to be MFC'ed.  What I want to know is what
is the best way to keep my jail up to date with -stable?  (Well,
actually keep the jail in sync with the jailhost which runs -stable.)
I've already figured out how to handle the ports within the jail so that
is not a problem, only worried about keeping the base up to date.

I've thought of a couple of ideas so far.  One is to dispose of the old
jail and build a new one.  That just won't work for my needs and is a
waste of time from what I see.  My jail is setup the way I like it so
working in the jail is comfortable, ie. I have a lot of config files
permissions set, and a decent number of packages installed to make life
easier for me when logged in.

My next idea is to use a script on the jailhost which carries out the
steps for building a jail from the manpage and essentially installing
over the old jail.  I just wonder how that will affect /etc within the
jail.  I want many of the changes to /etc that occur in -stable but I
don't want to overwrite all the changes I have made.  I guess I could
skip `make distribution' and run mergemaster later.

My last idea is to mount the jailhost's /usr/src and /usr/obj
directories into the jail with nullfs and then after having run
buildworld on the jailhost, run installworld in the jail and then use
mergemaster to take care of /etc within the jail.  I've used a similar
process to update OpenBSD machines over NFS but have never tried it on
FreeBSD.

Can anyone tell me what they do to manage their jails and keep them up
to date?  Thanks.

Tom

Re: Lost my X11 config - what was the old tool to build it?

Did you read:

John schrieb:
Before Win98 destroyed my nice FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE installation on
my Compaq Armada M700 laptop, I had a really good X configuration
which, if I remember correctly, was generated almost entirely
automatically somehow.  (No, I didn't have a backup of that config
file, and I've already kick myself many times.) Anyway, I am trying
to get this back up and running with XFree86 4.3.0 and FreeBSD
5.2.1.
I sure can't get anything that's useful now from the X86Config
script - all it does is ask me questions that I don't really know
the answer to - partly because it is a Laptop, and I can't just
easily see what the built-in adapter is.  Whatever configuration
utility that I ran before, I sure can't find it now - it seemed
to make VERY good recommendations, and I could sure use some!
I've checked the XFree86 web site, and didn't find much useful there.
I've done global web searches for XFree86 and this laptop, but
they must be for versions that are too old, because they don't
work for me, complaining of Drivers that don't exist, and so forth.
I'd be tempted to just reload 4.9-RELEASE and re-do it from there,
but I'm afraid I may run into a similar problem - where the config
file there, even if I get it, won't work with the new stuff.
Any pointers will be appreciated.

  never did figure out.  I changed the partitioning and allowed 1/2 a
  gig for the root directory and loaded it again.

  All seemed to go well untill I tryed to configure the X.org windowing
  system.  Nothing in /stand/sysinstall would do any configuration of
  X.  Went to the net and got instructions.  Finally got X to work and
  found vidtune.

  Kdm comes up with a log in screen which just leads to another log in
  screen.  ctrl-alt-backspace won't turn x off as it keeps comming back
  on it's own.  Nothing leads to a window manager other than the little
  one that comes with X.

  I re-downloaded the window managers from the net and hoped that would
  fix it. It didn't.  I'm sure that the trouble is in some little
  config file somewhere or another  but I just don't have the time as I
  need a running system going.

  My opinion is that x.org isn't integrated quite well enough yet for
  prime time. My BSD books don't have the new commands and other
  information to be of any use and the Man pages that downloaded were
  of no help either.

  So for now I'm going to try to load Slackware and hope that maybe in
  a year BSD will be easier to wade through.  I have to admit a bit of
  sorrow in having to do this as I wanted them both on the same
  machine.

  At the same time I wish to communicate my respect and admiration for
  the great job the BSD community is doing and hope in no way to
  communicate any disregaurd for everyones efforts.

  Right now I have to have Windows up and running also and am watching
  it go into a self destruct mode from somthing that it downloaded from
  the net all by it's self with no human operator touching it.  There
  are so many Popups I had to pull the net cable just to stop it.  They
  don't get no respect.

  It is my hope that the various Windows emulators will/are working
  well enough to run some of my mission critical programs.  Espesially
  'Trade Station' .  I can't imagine having thousands of dollars riding

 Prime Time, in it's truest sense, would suggest that FreeBSD is
 targetted at a mass market -- it is not.  The mass market is not
 characterized, primarily, as thinkers.   The FreeBSD user community
 would be better described as system users and administrators who enjoy
 technical aspects of computing; and who insist on controlling the
 operating system.  I'm not trying to insult you, or suggest that you're
 not a thinker.  I am trying to clear up any misconceptions about
 FreeBSD.  The strengths of MS Windows lead to its weaknesses.  The
 lack of those strengths in FreeBSD lead to a robust, stable operating
 system; but require more work on the part of the user -- no loose
 nuts between the chair and the keyboard.  (I can't remember where I
 first heard that phrase.)

A couple misconceptions I would like to clear up (some I may have created):

1) FreeBSD isn't really targeted anywhere, because targeting implies there's
a marketing department out there listening to customer feedback and
telling the software developers what to write.  It is liked by sysadmins
mainly because sysadmins and developers work on it -
but there really isn't anyone in the FreeBSD development group
sitting around deliberately making FreeBSD difficult for the new
user to use.

2) On request I can preconfigure a FreeBSD system for a business to
be EXACTLY targeted to JUST what the business wants their employees
to be running.  So can any good FreeBSD admin.  Thus, the possibility
always exists that some 3rd party can come between the raw ISO's and
a mass market end user and set it up for the mass market.  Nothing in
the OS exists that makes this impossible.

The fact that many people have already done this with Linux somewhat
precludes
this from happening, though.

Copying directory trees only for new files

What's the safest and most elegant way to copy an entire directory tree
such that only newer files and directories are actually copied?

Essentially I have one directory that contains my test version of my Web
site, and another directory that contains the production version of the
site.  Normally the two directories are mirror images of each other.
When I update one or more files in the test tree, I want to have some
easy and safe way to copy the test tree to the production tree--but for
efficiency's sake, I only want to actually physically copy the data for
a file or directory if the source version has been modified more
recently than the destination version.

The cp command looks like it would do the trick, except it doesn't
appear to have any option that copies only newer files and directories.

I suspect there are probably a dozen or more UNIX commands that do this
sort of thing, and/or perhaps some FreeBSD-specific commands that do it
as well. Any suggestions on which commands to look at?

If I can get this to work cleanly and in a straightforward way I may be
able to liberate myself from the creaky old copy of Visual InterDev that
I use for Web development.  UltraEdit (which I use on Windows) will let
me edit files directly to and from an FTP destination, so I could use
that to make my changes, then use a magic command to copy the changed
files from the test tree to the production tree once I've tested them.

cpio(1) does that by default (to overwrite files in the destination path
that are newer with older copies from the source hierarchy, you have to
force overwriting with the -u option).  You can use it in `pass through'
mode to copy entire hierarchies to another place:

% gothmog:/tmp$ rm -fr newstuff

exists
% /tmp/newstuff/./bar
% /tmp/newstuff/./bar/baz
% /tmp/newstuff/./bar/baz/kazaam

Note that foo/bar/xyz is skipped, since it didn't change, but
bar/baz/kazaam is copied because it was touched.
