Few simple questions..
QUESTION 1 Hey guys I use gnuls for colorizing my outputs such as ls..ect.. its really just an alias. When i added the alias to my /etc/profile I noticed that under X my terminals were not colorized but if i were to LOGIN to another TTY without X, it would be colorized. Now i know that /etc/profile is only read if your logging in with bash... so what i did was create a .bashrc with my alias in my home directory and it worked fine within X. My question is this for users that login with gdm/kdm ect...and start X how can i set colorized outputs for them without creating a .bashrc file in each home directory. Is there a global bashrc file that can be read for people that dont login? ugh i know this sounds confuseing but i dont know any other way to explain it? maybe this can explain it... When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. So if it doesnt read /etc how can I set global colors (for all users) for a interactive shell that isnt a login shell? Without creating ~/.bashrc's in each home directory. QUESTION:::2 Im useing the emu10k1 driver and have sound comming out of all my speakers (includeing the sub) is there a way to adjust each channel? Maybe some sort of advanced mixer?? QUESTION:::3 I recently installed something called feedparaser its a news feed parser that works with some desklets. I installed it by issueing this command: python setup.py install... How can I remove these packages? Ive checked all over online and in the --help theres a bunch of install commands but no deinstall commands? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BootManager Installation when there are more than one HDD
Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my system which has two separate HDD (each has 40GB). I am already using the first drive (e.g., C drive) only for Window XP and now would like to install FreeBSD on the second drive (e.g., D drive). When I go through the partitioning step for the FreeBSD installation, I faced to install BootManager as well. When the BootManager setup dialogue comes up, it asks me which drive you want to install BootManager. I guessed to install it the first drive, but the menu goes to a partitioning page for the first drive when I choose to install it the first drive; though I am trying to partition the second drive now. Can anyone please give me some advice on this?

Re: polling decreases throughput ~50%
--- Victor Semionov [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why is that? I thought polling should decrease CPU usage by avoiding too many context switches when a hw irq is generated frequently, but it shouldn't make the transfer slower if there are no other jobs running. You have to poll often enough to keep the pipe full, otherwise your max throughput can be limited. Also, rl hardware isn't the greatest and probably requires a lot more CPU than a device with working buffer/DMA design. HZ is 1000, which I guess should be more than enough with kern.polling.burst_max=150. Indeed, it was hardware's fault - my other NIC is a fxp and I got much better results with it - less CPU, while throughput stayed the same as without polling. Great. So you've added 900 totally unnecessary context switches, plus all of the rubbish that gets done every clock tick, even when there is no traffic. Brilliant. Modern hardware doesn't interrupt every packet; in fact with intel em controllers its easily tunable, so you get the advantages of polling without the disadvantages of having a system designed by an idiot. Polling will cause you to lose tons of packets under bursts of heavy load. Although it is downright comical that you're concerned about cpu cycles but you were using the slowest, least efficient ethernet controller ever conceived. The fxp driver has a built-in hold off of 6000 ints/sec (which is 1/6000th of a second for you mathletes). There is no reason to use polling with intel hardware; in fact its a big negative.

RE: FXP driver....
I have a FreeBSD system running on an Intel brand motherboard with a 945G chipset - while it doesen't do the thing with the pings he's talking about, take a look at the following dmesg snippet: sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0: port may not be enabled sio0: 16550A-compatible COM port port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A However, despite this the serial port does work. I always thought this was some harmless bug in the sio code but I wonder now if these problems are related and it's a bug in the chipset driver in FreeBSD.

Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Daniel Gonzalez Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 11:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FXP driver Hi, I've build a new P4 box (1.8Ghz, 512MB mem) based upon a ASUS P4B533VM motherboard. This board has an Intel 845G chipset and onboard 10/100 mbit/s LAN (fxp driver). When connected directly to a gateway (in my case an Extreme BD10k) I observe the following behaviour: a ping to the gateway starts around 1ms and slowly increases in steps of .1 or .2ms to around 10ms. Then it suddenly drops back to 1ms and the process starts all over again. I've tried a different NIC (3com, xl driver), new cabling, new switchport and all gives me the same result. My other labbox (a AMD 2000 XP+ with 3com PCI nic) connected to the same router is showing normal latency. This gives me the feeling it's some sort of timing issue on the P4's motherboard itself. Has anyone seen this before? I've searched the archives and found little on this topic. Any tips/hints where I can seach for further clues? Thanks, Arjan I haven't used the fxp driver in a while but you can check out the man page for the driver (man 4 fxp) and it mentions that you can disable autoselect for media type and speed. I remember reading in an article (I can't locate the URL) that the autonegotiation between the NIC and switch/router can be a bottleneck. That would be the easiset thing to check/eliminate.

Many of the resources for administering Windows machines is more difficult as the resources are more obscure than for Unix. Granted, a lot of the stuff comes easily as it's ascessible via preexisting menus, shortcuts and so forth, so you don't have to venture too far for a lot of the important things. However, there are quite a few-more difficult to search for-command line commands which you can use with greater power to accomplish what you need to do as an admin. Google and outside books are your friend in this case (especially the Riley ones I think since they produce a lot of books on the subject). Be happy though that you aren't in charge of an actual Windows server product with a domain though, because those are increasingly more difficult to learn because of all of the little tools and junk that are present, a lot of them command line based.

Re: bash script
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
My knowledge in bash scripting is about medium not very advanced and all
so I am not attempting to make a connection limiter but what I want to
make is a script that checks the irc connections off a certain user and
takes some actions, mostly of this I know how to do but I got stuck at
this :
I write in a file we will call it users.allow the following:
Virtual 5
Test 7
Server 9
Power 2
This will be the file that will hold the limit of the users from where the
script reads when checks.
So my script will read from this file and if the user Virtual for example
has more than 5 connections he will kill all his processes that are
running in background.
But what what I don`t know how to do is make the script read, for example
if I start the script he starts reading from users.allow, I want it to
read an take each line, first taking the line 1 with user Virtual and
setting to a variable the number it has near it like $allow=5, next after
it finishes the process for Virtual takes Test etc.
So my need would be how can I get the script to read first line, do the
process I will make for it, then take the next line and do the process for
that user until end of file. And also after taking the first line for
example reading only the first block in it, the one with user so it can
set $user=Virtual and then to take the path with the number.
I would greatly apreciate if you can help me with this issue, I really
need this script but didn`t know what to look in the manuals for etc.
Also if you know a similar script please let me know.
Well, you could either use a counter:
file=$0
count=`expr 1`
lines=`wc -l $file`
while [ $count -le $lines ]; do
line=`sed -n ${count}p` $file
echo $line
count=`expr $count + 1`
done;
for a very slow version of cat ;) or you could simply grep for the line
you need
line=`grep Power $file`
I hope this helps..

reassigning boot drive
Hello All: When my computer was assembled, the CDROM was attached as master on the first (primary) IDE channel, and the hard drive was attached as master on the second (secondary) IDE channel. It has now become desirable for me to rearrange my drives, but I have accumulated a lot of configurations and settings on my hard disk, so reinstalling is not attractive. Has anyone tried reassigning the boot disk from ad1 to ad0? What pitfalls are there? Thanks in advance.

Obviously not everyone is as experienced and knowledgeable as you are. I didn't say that it was the best solution; I just said it was discussed and while I may not have mentioned it previously, my professor highly discouraged the use of polling but said it was a viable way to solve _some_ problems.

Crypt::RSA perl coredump on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This may not be an appropriate place for my question, but perhaps someone has a suggestion. I installed the perl Crypt::RSA port the other day on my 5.4-RELEASE system. When I try to run a small perl script just to generate an RSA keypair, I get a perl core dump. There are a lot of prereqs that get installed with Crypt::RSA, so no doubt there's much opportunity for a problem with some library somewhere. But I don't know where to begin looking. Subsequently, I installed Crypt::DSA and I haven't had a similar problem with it. So I assume it's not the Math::Pari library, which is used by both the RSA and DSA packages, that's causing my problem. Similarly for other packages that both Crypt::RSA and Crypt::DSA make use of. I'm just throwing this out here in case someone on this list has already run into the same problem. I realize this is likely not a FreeBSD problem at all. I haven't tried even installing Crypt::RSA on a non-FreeBSD platform, precisely because it's a mess given all the dependencies. But the FreeBSD port installs quite smoothly. (I just wish the software would work!). Thanks.

Yes, XP does have a boot manager, and I suppose I should have listed some available options when I originally replied to the email. Just thought that someone was making a split decision during an install and needed quick help. You have a few choices: 1. FreeBSD boot manager Pro: Can install just one boot manager out of the box and it takes care of detecting all of the partitions Con: If you don't like FreeBSD anymore, no more boot manager. 2. GRUB Pro: Plays nicely with Linux. Con: Still need to install FreeBSD bootloader in the boot sector of the FreeBSD partition. 3. NT bootloader Pro: Stuff's managed through XP (if you like that). Con: Still need to install FreeBSD bootloader in the boot sector of the FreeBSD partition. There's also LILO with a similar argument to grub, but anytime your Windows partition changes, you have to reinstall LILO. Also, the NTLoader option doesn't play nice with Linux upgrades if you might use Linux in tandem with FreeBSD in the future.

finding aaccli from Adaptec
I'm following some directions found in the archives in order to get the Linux version (that is apparently more current than the FreeBSD one) of aaccli installed to manage an Adaptec RAID card under FreeBSD 5.4 (using Linux compatibility). I thought I found the correct rpm from the Linux section of the Adaptec downloads for the card (it is an ASR-2230SLP). The rpm I have is Adaptec Storage Manager for Linux under RH3. I must be grabbing the wrong one because when I use rpm2cpio and cpio to extract the rpm, I am only getting a utility called StorMan. Nowhere in this rpm can I locate aaccli that should be there (if I had the right download). Can someone who may be using this point me where to get a current version of the rpm that contains aaccli?
