Some sound problems with an Asus A7N8X-X motherboard
Dear list, I have a Asus A7N8X-X motherboard and I wounder what exactly are the right kernel module I should load to get my sound working. I have solved this buy setting snd_driver_load to YES in /boot/loader.conf. But I don't think that its the best solution. Because it loads all the kernel modules for sound. So my question is, what is the correct module or how do I figure that out. I have tried to load the modules one by one, but that did not get my sound card working. It was when I set snd_driver_load to YES in loader.conf and then rebooted that solved the problem. Another problem I have is also that I could only play one sound/soundstream at the time. Before I replaced my not so very stable motherboard with this one I was able to play more than one sound at one time. Perhaps this is something that I should set with sysclt, but then again I don't remember doing it with the old motherboard. Here below are the output of kldstat, scanpci and selected info from dmesg: kldstat: I Id Refs AddressSize Name 1 64 0xc040 36e518 kernel 21 0xc076f000 5efc vesa.ko 32 0xc0775000 1f0eclinux.ko 41 0xc0795000 3290 snd_driver.ko 52 0xc0799000 5cd8 snd_vibes.ko 62 0xc079f000 4c28 snd_via82c686.ko 72 0xc07a4000 5d9c snd_via8233.ko 82 0xc07aa000 5aa4 snd_t4dwave.ko 92 0xc07b 5e04 snd_solo.ko 105 0xc07b6000 4dcc snd_sbc.ko 112 0xc07bb000 5304 snd_sb16.ko 122 0xc07c1000 4e7c snd_sb8.ko 132 0xc07c6000 119fcsnd_neomagic.ko 143 0xc07d8000 c734 snd_mss.ko 152 0xc07e5000 9378 snd_maestro3.ko 162 0xc07ef000 7840 snd_maestro.ko 172 0xc07f7000 5ea4 snd_ich.ko 182 0xc07fd000 50f4 snd_fm801.ko 193 0xc0803000 637c snd_ess.ko 202 0xc080a000 68ac snd_es137x.ko 212 0xc0811000 7ef4 snd_emu10k1.ko 222 0xc0819000 b8cc snd_ds1.ko 234 0xc0825000 8624 snd_csa.ko 242 0xc082e000 583c snd_cs4281.ko 252 0xc0834000 5a1c snd_cmi.ko 262 0xc083a000 52bc snd_als4000.ko 272 0xc084 51fc snd_ad1816.ko 281 0xc0846000 1c0c io.ko 292 0xc0848000 4844 mem.ko 301 0xc084d000 4aea88 nvidia.ko 31 14 0xc0cfc000 5dbf4acpi.ko 321 0xc207a000 a000 ntfs.ko scanpci: pci bus 0x cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x01e0 nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

Hi, have you tried lower speeds? It seems you are using -s max all the time... You also could try whether your drive works better with cdrecord + ATAPICAM. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html#ATAPICAM A benefit of using ATAPICAM is that this enables you to use nice gui tools like sysutils/k3b.

The 'data' syntax means 'the address of the data variable', ie. the address of a gchar*, whereas data itself contains the address of a gchar. Now why would anybody want a gchar when a integer is needed ? That is just making it more complicated then it already is? Because the code in question deals with gchars (whatever they are) not integers? They won't necessarily be the same thing on different architectures, or even different compilers on the same architecture. Also, the type is called 'gchar' presumably because it logically holds some kind of character data, whereas an integer variable holds an integer. Calling them different things in the code helps to make it clear what the programmer's intention is, even if the two types happen to have the same representation on a given machine/compiler. In any case, this stuff really has nothing to do with FreeBSD - you should be asking these questions in a C/C++ programming group.

I can ssh to the box, and I can access port 80...but I'd like to be able to just scan it to quickly see what's up. When PF is disabled, I can nmap it in about 9 seconds. When I turn it on, it takes over 3 minutes to do. These machines are on the same network, so the connection is obviously fast. This is a good thing, IMHO. Think about all those script kiddies sitting out there looking for a nice, juicy server to compromise. If it takes them 3 minutes to port scan your machine, they'll probably cancel it before it's finished and move on. I believe what's happening is that all ports that aren't open are configured to drop packets instead of reject them like is default. Reject means send back an error message saying port is closed where dropping just ignores it. The port scanner sends out a request and waits for a response, either Hello, or Sorry, I'm closed. It will wait quite a while before it decides that nothings there. Are there any good, pretty simple guides on setting up PF?

I have tried: chmod 777 /dev/cd0 chmod -R 777 /dev/cd0 chgrp 777 /dev/cd0 It should at best be 666, and probably only 644 since cds are read-only. I don't know if a cd burner needs to be 666 for ordinary users to burn though. device files, AFAIK, have no use for execute permissions. And I don't think 777 is a valid group name unless you decided to add it for some reason. If your cdrom device is cd0 then add perm cd0 0644 to /etc/devfs.conf The problem is that when I reboot the system the old permissions return and I have to su and change the permissions back.

Additionally I would suggest to learn C/C++ first to get a better understanding of the whole language structure.

Bash script programming. Sending commands to a 'screen' session
I just accidentily wiped one of my script folders. Really no big deal, I'm not doing multiK scripts. But I had one nice script laying around. It created an additional window in a named screen session and started a bittorrentheadless session within. I do remember that it took me some days to solve this last time, and I have only been sitting three hours so far. (No, I don't recall the exact syntax). I'm struggeling with this script now: #!/bin/bash echo Starting download: $1 screen -r p2pA -X screen nice -n 20 /usr/local/BitTorrent-3.4.2/btdownloadheadless.py --max_uploads 4 \$1\ But it just don't do anything useful.

FTP Problems (probably my firewall)
Hello list, I'm trying to get FTPD working, but I think I'm not opening the correct ports for it in my firewall. I've got 20 and 21 open, and I get the login prompt and such, but only after a 10 to 20 second delay. After that, everything seems to work fine, until I try to upload to the incoming directory, which is disabled right now. The error takes another 10 to 20 seconds to pop up. when I have a rule such as: ipfw add 1 allow log all from any to any Everything works as fast as it normally should.

Most Unices are written in C (kernel, device drivers etc.). Basically, you sould get to an understanding that your questions about GTK, and the source code snippet that you did post, were not related to C++. Those code snippets are C code. Or why do you think that there is a need for a GTK C++ wrapper such as www.gtkmm.org which wrapps the GTK C API? Frankly my impression was that your understanding of C is almost nonexistent, which is the reason why so many people did sugest to get a basic C knowledge before coding a GTK app. So you *should* consider the 'Get a C book, to learn some C basics (like what is a pointer?)' answer to be a real option. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / With kind regards DAn.I.El S.

Because the code in question deals with gchars (whatever they are) not integers? They won't necessarily be the same thing on different architectures, or even different compilers on the same architecture. Also, the type is called 'gchar' presumably because it logically holds some kind of character data, whereas an integer variable holds an integer.

Think about all those script kiddies sitting out there looking for a nice, juicy server to compromise. If it takes them 3 minutes to port scan your machine, they'll probably cancel it before it's finished and move on. That makes sense to me.

I'd still like to find a good example config file that works well for a web server. I believe what's happening is that all ports that aren't open are configured to drop packets instead of reject them like is default. Reject means send back an error message saying port is closed where dropping just ignores it. The port scanner sends out a request and waits for a response, either Hello, or Sorry, I'm closed.

Partial web page loading
I'm a relatively new user of FreeBSD (5.3 release), and have encountered a problem that I haven't seen on other platforms. The details and a screenshot are outlined here: http://theocacao.com/document.page/82 Essentially, web content (text and images alike, it seems) occasionally fails to load in entirety. I personally haven't be able to recreate this yet, but a few people have sent me emails about it. I didn't hear anything about this prior to switching to FreeBSD. This is the exact same content I had running on a Red Hat-based machine running the same version of Apache. I've done a lot of googling and looking through mailing list archives, but haven't been able to identify any real leads yet. Syslog doesn't suggest anything is amiss. My environment is: FreeBSD 5.3-Release Apache 2.0.50 PHP 5.0.2 BIND 9.3.0 Both Apache and PHP were built from ports. I realize Apache is a few versions behind, and I'm going to upgrade it. Looking at the changelog, though, I can't seem to find anything that would pertain to this. Any ideas?

Tape Drive -- broken?
I recently acquired an old IDE QIC/Travan tape drive (for free) and I'm trying to get it to work on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. I don't know for sure whether the unit is any good, but I would like to rule out operator error before I throw it away. Here's what happens: at boot time, the tape drive is detected as device ast0: /kernel: ast0: TAPE Seagate STT2A at ata1-slave PIO4 When I insert a brand-new 4/8GB tape and run 'mt -f /dev/ast0 status' as root I get the following output: Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x01:X3.22-1983 512 bytes 800 none -available modes- 0:default variable 0none 1:default variable 0none 2:default variable 0none 3:default variable 0none - File Number: 0 Record Number: 0Residual Count 0 but I get the following message in /var/log/messages: /kernel: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY - HARDWARE ERROR asc=0xf0 ascq=0x36 error=0x00 Similarly, if I run 'mt -f /dev/ast0 rewind', I get no output to the terminal but the following in the logs: /kernel: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY - HARDWARE ERROR asc=0xf0 ascq=0x36 error=0x00 /kernel: ast0: REZERO - HARDWARE ERROR asc=0xf0 ascq=0x36 error=0x00 After either of these commands, if I run 'mt -f /dev/ast0 errstat' the terminal displays: mt: /dev/ast0: Inappropriate ioctl for device So, does this suggest the drive is fried, or am I doing something wrong? Google search shows that 'inappropriate' message popping up occasionally for all manner of devices on both Linux and BSD, but usually the hits are in the form of mailing list posts with few, if any, responses, and nothing that seems relevant to my situation.

Need IMAP Server Selection Advice
Greetings, I'm a recent covert to FreeBSD from many years of using linux on both the server and the desktop.

I have my own domain, and have operated IMAP under linux for years without issue, but I can't seem to get it crankin' under FreeBSD. I'm quite certain this has more to do with my relative inexperience with FreeBSD than with FreeBSD itself. Whats the shortest path to a working configuration? I'm not particular about whose software I use; I just need to be able to hit it for mail via IMAP with Thunderbird or Mozilla. Thanks in advance!

Re: All your laptops are belong to Windows.
If you have an HP or Compaq laptop, and you see this problem TRY the R3000Z patches. I tried a bunch of things to get my HP Pavilion to work, but I decided I would delay converting this machine until I know more about what I am doing. FreeBSD 5.3 *does* install on another P3-650 laptop on which I just upgraded the HD from 10GB to 100GB. My Pavilion is going to sit on a shelf until it can boot FreeBSD. The 100GB drive makes my old laptop suddenly usable again (as a primary machine). In hindsight, I should not have bought the HP, and it's too late to take it back. Thats what I get for playing World of Warcraft on it for 30 days under Windows. My advice to anybody thinking of buying an HP laptop, is to not do it. I bought the 100GB 2.5 drive for $200 at CompUSA, any old laptop that can already run FreeBSD can use one of them to become very useful again. I also bought a FireWire card for my old laptop, and am hoping that I will be able to use my external drives with FreeBSD (it worked under Win XP and Fedora Core 3). I have about 4 external 160GB drives that can work on FireWire and USB2. I didn't have much luck with them on FC3 using USB2, but they worked great under FireWire. I am hoping FreeBSD 5.3 will also work with FireWire. Windows was just the opposite, USB2 worked well and FireWire was flaky. I'm sure I'll ask more about my FreeBSD install problems in the future, but for now, I'm going to learn using the machines that it works on. By the time I'm comfortable with this OS, the problems will probably be solved. I don't blame FreeBSD for any of this, it's the HP Pavilion that is weird. Its the only machine I've owned where nothing could be changed within the BIOS (like disabling HyperThreading). The only thing I can change in the BIOS is the date/time. thx -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

USB drive - crypto filesystem options?
Hey folks. I have just become the proud owner of a fancy new 1GB USB 2.0 drive; one of those cool new gadgets no bigger than my pinky that holds 1 Billion bytes of data. Naturally, I can't wait to play with it :) Well, I know that USB 2.0 support is kinda sketchy, and I've already decided it's not stable on the ICH5 USB controller that comes with the Dell Dimension 8300. Regardless, I have confirmed that I can get the little gadget mounted (comes pre-formatted with an MSDos filesystem) without the slightest hangup. Yay me. So, now what I want to do is see what kind of filesystem options I have with this little gem. Ideally, I would like to get an encrypted filesystem that requires a password to mount it. Of course, I've checked the ports, but I don't know much about this area, and I don't know if I'm even using the right search keys. A little googling revealed a great article at The FreeBSD Diary (http://www.freebsddiary.org/encrypted-fs.php) that discusses cfs. Sounds cool, move to the top of the list - ok, it's the only thing on the list right now. That's where you folks come in. Has anyone had any experience actually using a crypto filesystem on a USB drive? What utilities are available for this? And more importantly, what have your experiences been?

kldload ipfw.ko sh /etc/ipfw.rules. I lost connectivity to the
server. Did the above script only open those ports to localhost or
something? I can go in tonight and fix it from the local computer, but
I'd like to know what to do when I get there. I need to have
connectivity to said ports from the internet... apparently I don't :-P.

Promise PDC20267 UDMA100 controller channel attaching trouble
I've having a bit of trouble with my promise ATA100 controller card on my server computer. I used to use it fine with my older system (k6-450 with freebsd 4.xx). I've built this newer box (with FreeBSD 5.3 and also 5.3-STABLE, running a K7-650 now) and swapped a lot of things over. The problem is I keep getting this: device_attach: ata2 attach returned 6 when I boot up. I've juggled IRQs, turned off the onboard controller, but it just won't attach. The only way it'll work is if I run the drives on the secondary port. When I do this, everything boots. When the drives are on the primary port, it won't even acknowledge I have any drives hooked up. The card's bios detects all drives upon bootup (primary/secondary), so I don't think the controller is messed.. atacontrol list: ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 Maxtor 53073H6/DAC10SC0 ATA/ATAPI revision 6 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: acd0 HITACHI CDR-8430/0024 ATA/ATAPI revision 0 Slave: ast0 Seagate STT2A/8N43 ATA/ATAPI revision 0 ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0/08.02D08 ATA/ATAPI revision 6 Slave: ad7 QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS40.0/A1Y.1500 ATA/ATAPI revision 5 dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

The only error message I get is this in /var/log/messages: Feb 20 21:54:05 web1 kernel: pid 71512 (httpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) What is the next step to determine the problem? Do I need to do a core dump analysis to figure this out? If so, what is the way or best way? Also, I noticed that it seems like I have both versions of apache installed. I do not believe that I did this so I am thinking that somehow the ports did it. I found it when I did a pkg_info:... apache+mod_ssl-1.3.31+2.8.19. This is one thing that I found odd, so I thought it may be somehow contributing. -Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Trouble with upgrading ports...
Hello, I am having difficulty upgrading ports on all my freebsd 5.3-stable machines. They all have been cvsup'd and built within the last few days. But for the last week, maybe two... something strange has been (not) happening. Portversion no longer correctly reports what ports need updating. But if I do a 'portupgrade -arR', the appropriate things get upgraded and then later it says they 'succeed' the port!?! It feels like the INDEX is not getting update at all, or something. I have a script (attached) to update my system sources. I then portupgrade, or buildworld whenever I feel like it. It has ben working fine for quite sometime. Maybe the script is bad and I was bound to mess my machines up. Not sure. Either way... If I delete my INDEX and then 'make fetchindex'... things don't resolve themselves. I'm really not sure where the problem is. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Below is an example of the behavior I am seeing.

Correct: the machine that builds fetchindex hasn't been getting cvs
updates since last week some time. I'm in the process of trying to
fix this. In the meantime, you can build your own index ('make
index') if you need to update, but this is quite resource-intensive.

Email and scheduling etc sigh -- Was Need IMAP Server Selection Advice
I had been admin' a moderatly sized (cyrus/exim/spamassasin/clam-av) setup until recently when we switched to the darkside. (Don't ask, it's still to painful to think about.)(If you're still curious it had nothing to do with email capabilities but with scheduling capabilities and the darkside client) This is the _BIG THING_ from managers Even thouogh I had found and trialled 2 - 3 grooupware ports ... the managers wanted the darkside thing The perceived problem with all my previous offerings - they are web based! Even though the functionality re calendering, group schedule manegement (and tons more functions well outside of the darkside capabilities) was all there... it didnt look like the stuff other execs were using... cant it sync with my PDA (some can) ... why do I need to go to a web site and go through that login stuff (ever heard of security? and you gotta do this in a different fashion with micro$lop anyway) I'm sorry to hear that. I've not had any problem with the few darkside clients connecting to my server (only 4 accounts, so not a big deal). We also ran 200+ users in several states via WAN on the Cyrus IMAP server with various MUA's from FreeBSD and the Outlook clients... With 698 days of uptime too...

I always generated the INDEX file myself (yes, it's
indeed resource and time consuming).
When I encountered trouble some time ago, I learned
from this mailing list that I can use make
fetchindex and that this is actually better.
I then frequently encounter following problem:
Since I am in Korea, I used cvsup.kr.freebsd.org for
cvsup-ing my ports. However, the 'make fetchindex'
dowloads the INDEX file from elsewhere, which may
not be in sync with my Korean cvsup host.
So I get conflicts when checking port versions and
upgrading outdated ports.
To solve this problem, I now always sync my ports
with one of the main cvsup hosts:
cvsup[n].freebsd.org.
So the Korean freeBSD hosts have become useless to
me.
Am I doing something wrong?
Rob.

Good rentable servers?
Instead of getting a fixed IP address at my house, and having a noisy machine running all the time - I think I might want to try renting a dedicated FreeBSD server. It would be used for running Apache, phpBB, email, listserv, and a few other services. I found several places that have dedicated FreeBSD machines to rent, their prices seems to all be $99 a month. Is there a cheaper or better option? Maybe a virtualized server or a jail? thx! -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
