building and installing world on two separate machines

[Dave]

Hello,
   I have a machine that i want to upgrade from 5.x to 6.1. I've got a 6.1 
world built on a much faster system and would like to just install it on 
this machine. I thought about nfs, but i have to drop to single user mode to 
do the make installworld and won't have nfs available. Is there a way i can 
install this already compiled world on the slower box without having to 
remake it?

Thanks.
Dave.

Re: Dump to DVD

[Martin Hepworth]

Hi

Well I know this is a bit OT, but amanda can do spit 'dump's over multilple
tapes/dvds/whatever.

That way you also have an index of what's on what media etc.

One problem may be semantics.  I'm not certain if I want directory
/etc/* synchronized on servers A and B, or if I just want a 
100%-guaranteed backup ... .  Since I do 99% of stuff on
tao, I want every other (possible) server to sync up my ~/* files
on other machines. The build and config files I just want tar'd up
and moved to, say, /usr/tmp/tao, /usr/tmp/sage, usr/tmp/zen, and
so on.  This stuff is what I would like done at least daily.

I'll look at rsnapshot.  A very big (*)++plus is that Dru
wrote it.  That mean it's thoroughly first rate.

Around 10 hrs sleep in three days just don' cut it.

yeah, the default IS ssh, rsh-no-mo.  what i want is to cron stuff 
exactly like Mathews's ideas.   then at least, i'll have VERY recent

i have spent hours reading about rsync.  my printserver (tao) is busted;

How can I automate the backup via rsync to other servers?


Depending on the backup strategy that you want, I highly recommend  
rsnapshot (/usr/ports/sysutils/rsnapshot ). It handles most of the management of retaining past backups up  
to X days, X weeks, etc, and uses hardlinks to save space between the  
backups. So because it uses rsync, it uses the bandwidth of an  
incremental backup, but because it uses directory trees of hardlinks,  
each backup is completely restorable like a full backup.



I have
a couple boxen out there miles remote; the rest are meters apart.
If 'expect the unexpected' is any guide, now I *am* expecting.
If it means a few days and 8 hours of typing, then that's just
the price.  (That I had a recent TaoEtc.tbz is a good sign; that
it was in /usr/tmp _on_ tao is not a good sign... .)

I've just installed/reinstaled rsync here on ns1.thought.org (aka
"sage") and on zen.thought.org.  I've fiddled with the rsyncd.conf on
both FBSD systems.  What I don't understand is how rsync, using
ssh, gets past the secret password.  If, say, I want to
copy all of my www files from sage to zen, what do I put
into /usr/local/etc/rsyncd.secrets? Let's say that rsyncd.secrets
had:

# User : pw
root : abcd
kline: wxyz

Would this old snippet work as a starting place, exec'd by root:



rsync --verbose  --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/local/bin/ 
ssh

  --recursive --times --perms --links --delete \
  --exclude "*bak" --exclude "*~" \

time to come clean... .

[Gary Kline]

Folks,

It's time to come clean and admit that parts/most of rsync are 
lost on my.  The good-old-days when everybody trusted everybody
on the net--when it was mostly just we geeks are way gone.
Crackers, prob'ly 12-year-olds using DOS scripts, tried to
crack my ns1 server.  After that I upgraded to bind-9 and read
[and enjoyed] DNS/BIND, *and* began using ssh.  So a lot of my
automatic backup programs stopped working.  As thought.org grew
from one machine to four, it became that much harder to tar and
backup stuff.  (I have automated some backups, but crudely.   
Now, after Friday's "trap 18",  my first fatal ever, it's time 
to follow the backup system that Matthew suggested.)

How can I automate the backup via rsync to other servers?  I have 
a couple boxen out there miles remote; the rest are meters apart.  
If 'expect the unexpected' is any guide, now I *am* expecting.   
If it means a few days and 8 hours of typing, then that's just 
the price.  (That I had a recent TaoEtc.tbz is a good sign; that 
it was in /usr/tmp _on_ tao is not a good sign... .)

I've just installed/reinstaled rsync here on ns1.thought.org (aka

that is one command line

I am not sure about installing Solaris into an existing partition.   
The new U2 of Solaris 10 uses grub though.   But I find Solaris 10  
much faster than FreeBSD for some things (java, threaded apps, etc).   
It has its quirks and I am sure that FreeBSD has its advantages (for  
me I use FreeBSD on most of my servers but have a few Solaris 10  
based ones for java, ZFS, etc).  I am not trying to get into a mud- 
slinging match -- both are good.  But I wanted to mention that  
Solaris is a very mature OS.  It is a hyrbid BSD/SVR4 system in terms  
of commands (I believe in ancietnt history SunOS was a VSD variant  
that switched to a SVR4 variant when it became Solaris).  And FreeBSD  
has the upper hand in my estimation in terms of normal userland stuff  
like an updated tar and update apps in many cases (userland utils) so  
a lot of things you normally do will be frustrating at first until  
you learn that he command flags are different on Solaris than on  
FreeBSD.

Re: New widescreen monitor, old radeon card - will this not work?

[Oliver Iberien]

Yes, you'd think, but no. I got a $50 GeForce 6200 LE/256M card and it works, 
as long as I use the proprietary driver. With the standard nv driver that 
xorgconfig came up with, it was just as bad as the Radeon. 

The nvidia config utility did not add extra lines to the config file, 
incidentally.

Thanks,

Oliver

Marc, thanks for all your hard work on these issues.

One small change needs to be made.  The pkg-message file reads, at its end:

That needs to be changed to http://www.bsdstst.org/

This patch will fix it.

(1)  When run for the first time, you get an error message:

That's because a few bogus spaces after the backslash in
the line containing the chmod command.  Those trailing
spaces should be removed.  I suppose I don't need to send
a PR for that.  :-)


'k, that one is/was fixed ...


(2)  Some people aborted the inital "sleep 900" (because
of the above-mentioned error message, or other reasons),
then restarted the script.  In this case there is no sleep,
and the submission _seems_ to be successful (no negative
feedback), but it isn't.

One way to improve the situation would be to check the
mtime on the /var/db/bsdstats file.  If it's younger than
900 seconds, a sleep is required.  For example, something
like this piece of shell code (untested):

FILETIME=$( stat -f %m $id_token_file )
NOW=$( date +%s )
if [ $(( $NOW - 900 )) -le $FILETIME ]; then
   SLEEPTIME=$(( 900 - ($NOW - $FILETIME) ))
   echo "Token key is younger than 15 minutes!"
   echo "Sleeping $SLEEPTIME seconds, please wait."
   sleep $SLEEPTIME
fi


Code tested, and committed ... thanks ...


(3)  Some sites require the use of a proxy for HTTP access.
Such sites usually have an entry in /etc/make.conf, so the
ports can fetch their distfiles:

FETCH_ENV=  FTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.site:3128 \
   HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.site:3128

The bsdstats script could easily pick up that entry and set
the environment variables appropriatly.  This line at the
beginning of the script should be sufficient:

export $( make -V FETCH_ENV 2>/dev/null )


'k, that one could be a problem, since adding that line produces:

# /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics
MACHTYPE
SSH_CLIENT
USER
MAIL
SHLVL
VENDOR
HOME
SSH_TTY
PAGER
GROUP
LOGNAME
BLOCKSIZE
TERM
PATH
REMOTEHOST
HOST
SHELL
OSTYPE
PWD
SSH_CONNECTION
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE
HOSTTYPE
EDITOR
Token key is younger than 15 minutes!
Sleeping 361 seconds, please wait.

Is there a better way of doing it that it would be silent?


(4)  Some sites have a proxy that requires authentication.
It is possible to include the password in the FETCH_ENV
entry in /etc/make.conf, but it's usually not a good idea
to do that, because you shouldn't write passwords to files
that are world-readable.

That problem could be solved in different ways.  One way
would be a periodic.conf setting that instructs the script
not to try to submit the data, but instead just print a
reminder to the admin that he should run the monthly script
manually (or print that reminder automatically when the
submission fails because the proxy denies access).
When the admin runs the script manually (which could be
detected by "test -t 0", i.e. stdin is a terminal), it
could ask for the HTTP proxy password and then set the
HTTP_PROXY_AUTH variable appropriately (see fetch(3)).


'k, this one has been brought up, and was something that I am hoping to 
address once I get back online properly this week ...



(5)  Some machines might not be able to access the web at
all.  For example, I'm right now working on a farm of 35
machines which don't have internet access, not even via
a proxy.  I can connect to them via ssh/scp (port 22) from
a management machine, and that management machine only has
web access via a proxy.

It would be nice to be able to request token keys on behalf
of those 35 servers from the management machine, transfer
them to the servers, run the data gathering script on the
servers (putting it into a file instead of submitting it
directyl), copy the results to the management machine and
finally submit them from there.  That's pretty complicated,
but I'm afraid I haven't gotten a better idea so far.  :-(


Actually, this is one that we have discussed, and believe we have a 
solution for already, I just  have to sit down and code this one ...


And I think it might actually act as a way of dealing with (4) as well ...

We're goin ot have a 'use_email' setting ... what will happen is as 
follows:


Initial Install / Run:
  Email is sent to root containing IDTOKEN= as generated by host, root 
forwards that to [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends back KEY= value 
to be put in /var/db/bsdstats (manual cut-n-paste) ... script is re-run a 
second time, submits report values to root, root forwards that to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...


Subsequent Runs:
  Email is sent to root containing report values, root forwards that to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Now, in theory, root could have a filter on it that 'if subject = bsdstats 
report, auto-forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED]', but that would be totally up to 
the admin whether they wanted to do each report manually or not ...


(6)  All of the statistics on the web page are sorted by percentages. 
It would be nice to be able to click on a column header and have the 
table sorted by that value. That would be especially useful for the 
release statistics and the country statistics.


That is all major work in progress ... my first goal was to get

For example if i try to run "portversion" i get:

from Ruby (ruby 1.8.5 is up to date on the system).

You can do an 'upgrade install' from the install media...it's
something you should definitely practise on a local system first
though (not because it's hard, but so you know what you're doing).

I think what it means is you cannot move a directory to a file. You

Thanks, i CAN compile from the ports collection (i never wanted to use
 packages). Its MANAGING this that i cant do. I can update my ports tree
fine, and i can go into ports directory and do a make install, sure.

But i cant do portsversion to see what needs updating, and i cant do

The latest release announcement is at:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/announce.html

There are quite a few FTP servers listed as having the release and you
should be able to dig around in them to look for the ISO image you are
interested in.

joystick as mouse?

[[LoN]Kamikaze]

I managed to convince moused that my USB joystick, a Logitech WingMan Extreme 
Digital 3D on /dev/uhid0 (3 axis, throttle, 8 buttons and a HUD switch), is 
actually a mouse. Of course the mouse cursor acts absolutely insane when I 
touch the joystick. But it shows that it is possible.

My question is, is there some kind of way to write a profile for moused such as 
the intellimouse and microsoft profiles to tell moused how to read the joystick 
input?

Doesn't kdm just use the X settings? If so, you can fix this in your

Best gigabit network interface for FreeBSD?

[Brett Glass]

Was going to post this to net@, but figured I'd get a bigger 
audience and better answers on this list. (Please copy responses to 
me as well as the list to make sure I see them.)


I'm building a machine which is going to have very high network 
loads, but can't really use a TCP/IP "accelerator" because much of 
the traffic won't be TCP. What, as of now, is the most capable 
gigabit Ethernet interface for FreeBSD? Which has the cleanest, 
simplest driver? The most onboard buffer space to prevent overruns 
and underruns? The fastest bus interface? The least interrupt 
overhead (important because interrupts in FreeBSD 6.x are 
relatively expensive)? I have some Intel "em" interfaces available 
to me, but have been told that while the driver is well supported 
they are quirky and not the best choice.

Hi guys,

I had installed FreeBSD in my schools computer systems lab, so I decided
to
install it at home as a dual boot with Solaris 10, already installed on
half
the HD.  I downloaded the images off FreeBSD.org, burned them to CD's, and
then did a post burn md5sum on them to make sure they burned
properly.  The
install seemed to go well, other than not being able to read fvwm off the
disc.  When I boot, the error I'm getting after I select FreeBSD in the
boot
loader is that it "cant find the 'kernel'".  Just before I get the error,
it
says "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf", so naturally that's the first
place I looked after booting into single user mode with the live CD.
Strangely, I found that not only was there no /boot/defaults/loader.conf,
the /boot/defaults folder didn't even exist.  There is, however, a
/dist/boot/defaults/loader.conf.  Normally, I'd just edit the boot loader
but 1) I want to make sure something didn't go horribly wrong with the
install (I also noticed that bin and sbin in the / directory had @ signs
after them, i.e. bin@, and I wasn't sure this was normal, though I haven't
dealt with UNIX much), and 2) according to google and the online
documentation, the only way to "edit" the boot loader is to install a new
one.

So, what should I do?  Copy the /dist/boot/defaults/loader.conf to
/boot/defaults/loader.conf?  Reinstall using the CD's I burned at school
that I know work?  Install a new boot loader and point it at
/dist/boot/defaults/loader.conf?



It got sent.

I've had this problem too; it appears to be a problem with the installation
program. Yes, the fix is to copy the relevant files from the CD. The best
way I've found to do that is to boot the install cd and choose the fixit
option.

Thanks in advance for the help.


You're welcome!

does your handmade device use RS-232? If its PIC or
some such microcontroller based they claim to be
RS-232 compliant but they do not always use +12V and
-12V levels. MAX-232 chips can correct this. I assume
if it worked in windows for you this might not the
case, but you never know.

You may be asking the wrong list.  FreeBSD is not Linux, although it
can run many Linux binaries if configured appropriately.

For Linux, you probably want to be looking into something along the
lines of Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandrake, or Suse.

solaris

[dick hoogendijk]

I have a 3-part disk:
(a) XP for games
(b) FreeBSD-6.1 (my main OS)
(c) FreeBSD-6.1 (a backup)

I want to replace the third partition with solaris 10, mainly for
studying this OS. I burned the DVD. Will it install solaris on this
third partition without trouble? Will I be able to continue to use the
FreeBSD bootloader or do I need to isntall sol's grub?

The documentation on SUN and solaris is huge. Many many pdf files..
Are there better ways then these pdf's? Good books on solaris 10?
Starting points on the net? I ask here because I know lot of you guys
here have also installed solaris 10 (at least I remember seeing it here)

Hope to get some advice and reading points. I have years of experience
with linux and FreeBSD and like to explore new (OS) challences.

It's more to do with how KDE handles it, I think.  From what reading I did 
about this a while ago, you need to tell KDE to read your X settings as it 
starts.  I have a little sh script in ~/.kde/Autostart/load_Xdefaults.sh:

#!/bin/sh

[ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb ] && /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb -load $HOME/.Xdefaults

Looking at your XTerm file, you should be able to load it in much the same 
way.

I've tried it both ways. Some people say to use the FQDN and some the other 
way around.

My firewalls are 100% off until I get this working.

You probably do not need to reload the OS. When you install FreeBSD,  
I recommend you to install the base system and to keep the amount of  
Packages you install to a minimum. Install X.org from Ports and then  
follow the instructions within the FreeBSD Handbook.


the xorg.conf.new file requires information i may not have and  
cannot find, the vertical and horizontal frequencies.  if i can't  
find the frequencies, are there default values that i can use to  
create that file.
I did not know my monitor information and used the values that it  
came up with and they appeared to work fine. If it works for you,  
then use them. If it does not, then call your monitor manufacturer  
and get the information you need. Or, resort to Google; you can  
probably find the information there.


I, along with the rest of freebsd-questions, need to know more  
information before a potential fix can be prescribed. This  
information includes, as an example, what your current OS version is  
(output of uname -a), how you installed X.org (Ports or Packages),  
what you currently have in your xorg.conf.new file, what steps you  
have taken and what the output is (many of the log files are within / 
var/log), your hardware (what type of video card and monitor do you  
have), etc. Anything that you _think_ may be relevant needs to be  
given. If you are unsure, then posting extra information will not  
hamper things.


In the event that it can help you right now, I have pasted the  
contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as well as my .xinitrc file  
(~/.xinitrc) which will start Window Maker when startx is entered. I  
hope this helps.

Sounds like your member server can't contact the pdc's logon service.

Try to always use FQDN (ecwtest.domain.blah); or be very careful and

Especially if you have hosts on different subnets.


I don't need to make any PAM changes to allow just file / share authentication
do I?


No. Samba doesn't use PAM.


One thing, the member server is a new rebuild of a machine with the same name
and the PDC is a upgrade using the TDBs, etc.. from backup. I did remove the
machine account from the PDC and then re-added it using net join and that
worked fine.

I ran through the test at the back of the "offical book" and all of them work

nmblookup is a WINS resolution tool. If your WINS server is not
configured and functioning and your computers are on different subnets
(or have blocking firewalls) you will have problems. If you don't use
FQDN samba will, probably, be using WINS to resolve your host names.



the member server smb.conf:

# Global parameters

workgroup = ECW
netbios name = ECWTEST
#server string = Samba %v on %L

Make that an FQDN hostname or ip address.

samba problem; member server can't authenticate

[Henrik Hudson]

Hey List-

I tried the Samba lists...but didn't get any tips there..so possibly a freebsd 
issue? Dunno, anyways

I have a Samba PDC and a Samba Member Server.

The Samba PDC works fine, but the problem is that the Member Server can't 
authenticate users and let me browse file shares and i always get the error:  
NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS

the wierd thing is that sometimes:  SMBCLIENT -L ECWTEST
will work and list my shares. However, the first time I actually try to 
authenticate a user to browse a share the whole shebang stops and I get the 
above error. I'm using Konqueror and smb://ecwtest/sharename to connect.

I don't need to make any PAM changes to allow just file / share authentication 
do I?

One thing, the member server is a new rebuild of a machine with the same name 
and the PDC is a upgrade using the TDBs, etc.. from backup. I did remove the 
machine account from the PDC and then re-added it using net join and that 
worked fine.

I ran through the test at the back of the "offical book" and all of them work 
except the  actual sharing and the nmblookup -d 2 '*' on the member server 
and of course the smbclient specific ones.

wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g work on the member server and i can chown files to 
users only in the PDC in the samba users file. I just can't authenticate.

the only error I'm seeing is in log.wb-ECW and its:

First, verify you're really connected to internet, looking at ifconfig
if tun0 has an ip. Then look at the output of netstat -rn if there's a
default route, then try to ping a numeric address, like ping
151.1.1.1.

This will help you diagnose the problem. ;-)

Start off by using minicom (or cu) to talk to the device. By doing
this you can sort through baud rate/parity,hardware issues.

Once you have that working, then move on to code.

A question about programming RS-232

[Сергей Собко]

Hello.
I have a question I can't deal myself.
And nobody can help me in resolving my problem.

Problem:
I have a hand-made device, I want to control from FreeBSD 6.1
(I am porting this application from Windows equivalent).
But I don't know, in what device /dev/ I should write to get reults.
I tryed to write bytes into /dev/ttyd0, /dev/cuad0, but got nothing. :(

Code:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(void) {
 int t = 0, num = 10, fd, i, iOut; char *ch;
 struct termios my_termios;
 ch = (char *)malloc(6);
 memset(ch, 250, 6);
 fd = open("/dev/ttyd0", O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK);
 printf("Opened com port\n");
 if(fd < 0) return 0;
// tcflush(fd, TCIFLUSH);
 my_termios.c_cflag = CS8 | CLOCAL;
 if(cfsetspeed(&my_termios, B9600) < 0) return 0;
 if(tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, &my_termios) < 0) return 0;
 iOut = write(fd, ch, 6);
 if(iOut < 0) return 0;
 printf("Number of bytes = %d\n", iOut);
 printf("Writed %s!\n", ch);
 close(fd);
 printf("Closed!\n");
 return 0;
}

calendar

[Michael S]

Good day all.

I have a question about calendar.usholidays. In the man page for
calendar it says that this file must be updated every year. Is it
enough just to cvsup, buildworld and installworld?
I am following RELENG_6_1.

Thanks in advance.

Where can I get this FreeSBIE boot disk?  Is it a floppy or can I
burn a CDROM?  I have a "burner" on my new Ubuntu box, but have
	never burned anything but an audio CD.   

	 


This is one of the myriad things I've never heard of,

It is.  I think all you have to do is boot the regular CD and
select live system or something like that (I don't remember the
exact label in the menu, but it should be apparent.   Then you
can mount the other disk[s] and try to rescue things. 


	The key is "try to rescue".  After fscking my filesystems 
	I tried a reboot and ran into the fatal trap.  Now I'm back i

fixit mode.   What I really want is to get the data files off
and over to another servr.  Havng /etc/* and maybe /var/db/pkg/*
would be a big help.  Then I could reinstall 5.3  ->5.5 and
finally over to 6.1.

If anybody nearby who understands the FreeSBIE boot disk  can
stop by in the next week or two, that'd be great.   Are there
ways to scp from the # Fixit environment?  Or ways to recompile
kernel and world frm here?

   Try chrooting in the FreeBSIE environment on the mounted device, e.g.:

   mkdir /mnt/fbsd_root
   mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt/fbsd_root
   #mount other filesystems here--make sure that the path is relative 
to /mnt/fbsd_root and follows the same sort of rules as specified in 
/mnt/fbsd_root/etc/fstab!
   chroot /mnt/fbsd_root /bin/tcsh # insert your shell of choice 
available here.


   You need to make sure that all devices are mounted properly ('/', 
'/usr/', '/var', etc), and the /dev filesystems are mounted in the 
chroot environment before continuing. This is basically what users do 
when installing Gentoo Linux, and I don't think that you should have an 
issue with it when trying to upgrade and fix your FreeBSD system because 
the principle is the same. Not sure how to do the devfs filesystems, but 
I'm sure someone has an idea of how it's done; IIRC it was done by the 
kernel somehow.

I don't know of any reason a less-that-eight-year-old Radeon card
couldn't support that resolution. I think you only need <64MB video
memory to support that resolution at 32bit color. Some monitors need
extra settings in the config line though.

I have recently tested 1680x1050,32bit color with Nvidia 6600, 6800,
7900 cards. (On MS Win, linux though. )

utorrent is Windows-only. Do not come with the excuse to run it with Wine. And 
Azureus is far from being slow. It might use a few more resources than other 
clients, but I have no problem running it on FreeBSD 6.1 downloading torrents

I've built a new machine updated to 6 CURRENT, and installed the

You did not mention that before. Anyway, make sure to run Azureus on
Java 1.4.2. Neither 1.5.0 from ports nor Diablo from the FreeBSD

At least for me.

File Flags in directories

[Jordi Carrillo]

In the FreeBSD handbook when it talks about the file flags permissions it
says:
"These flags add an additional level of security and control over files, but
not directories."
Well, I am able to put file flags in directories as well.
If I do:
mkdir curric
chflags uchange curric
It works well and then I can't modify the contents of the directory. So it
works flawlessly. Anybody knows that everything in Unix is a file, so flags
can be applied to anything. So, the handbook is wrong in this aspect, isn't
it?

Kind of hard to say since you failed to list any errors. Try prefixing
your

script -ak ~/gv.log "place command line here - no quotation marks"

WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error

[Tamas (septi) Gal]

Yesterday I upgraded my hardware from a Pentium2 400mhz setup (running
freebsd 5.4) to a Sempron 2.8ghz and installed freebsd 6.1 on it (the
32bit version).
There are 4 harddisks attached to the IDE-controllers:

ad0: 6150MB  at ata0-master UDMA66
ad1: 38166MB  at ata0-slave UDMA100
ad2: 78167MB  at ata1-master UDMA133
ad3: 38166MB  at ata1-slave UDMA100

ad1 and ad3 are the same and both contain important data.
After the installation of freebsd I noticed a lot of UDMA-errors:

ad1: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63
ad3: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63
ad1: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63
ad3: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=63

After decreasing the speed of UDMA (on ad1 and ad3)  in the
BIOS-Setup, ad1 worked fine, without any errors, but ad3 still
produces the same error-messages and is not mountable:

(14:51) root (/home/septi) %mount /dev/ad3s1 /test
mount: /dev/ad3s1: Input/output error

Here the dmesg output:

ad3: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=12063
ad3: WARNING - READ_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=12063
ad3: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51
error=84 LBA=12063

I also replaced the IDE-cable but it changed nothing...

Does anybody have an idea?

hi,

It seems possible with the eciadsl-program : 
http://users.tpg.com.au/johnd/dsl200.html (i know, its for fedora, but it 
could work for freebsd too...).

Hope this helps,

hp_no_device_found

[Andriy Babiy]

Hello,

Could you advise me on how to properly configure my printing?
I have LaserJet HP-1022, on FreeBSD 6.1 and CUPS-1.2.
I installed hplip, hpijs, and foomatic-*.

(as root)
hp-setup says: ERROR no devices found
In CUPS I see: hp_no_device_found

dmesg shows:
ulpt0: Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 1022, rev. 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode

I can add printer on /dev/ulpt0, and choose HP-1022 from the list, and even 
send a test page to the printer, which isn't printed though.

There might be something wrong in the configuration, I think. Could you advise 
me on how to get the printer working?
Thank you in advance for your assistance and ideas!

Andriy

Re: crontab entries not executing

Verify that root's crontab does anything at all by running a simple
command every minute.  Eg. use 'crontab -u root -e' to add this
line to the root crontab:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/touch /tmp/foo

Then if you do 'ls -l /tmp/foo' you should see the timestamp changing
every minute.  Remember to remove this line once you're done testing.

If it doesn't, check that cron is enabled and running.  It is enabled
by default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Examine /var/log/cron -- everything cron tries to run should be logged
there.

However, I suspect that the problem is the standard gotcha when using
cron.  Scripts run from cron get a very minimal environment.  In
particular you *will* need to set the PATH explicitly at the top of
your script. Something like this generally suffices:


PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin
export PATH

Or else use fully qualified paths for any programs you call from the
script.

This is the primary cause of programs that work fine under test when
run from your login account but that do not work when run from cron.

Cheers,

Matthew

Why go via 5.5 if you're upgrading by installing a new system on the
machine?  Just go straight to 6.1.

Stuff you should backup before doing that:

/etc --- absolutely vital
/usr/local/etc   --- ditto: most people have put hours of work into
 port configuration files which would be painful
 to have to recreate.
/var --- lots of programs keep their state in files in
 /var, not to mention stuff like MYSQL DB files.
/home or /usr/home - depending on how your disk is laid out.
/root

Other stuff you might need to backup:

/usr/local/www   --- if you run web sites of this machine
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/{xdm,app-defaults,...}
 --- if you've customised stuff under there

/boot/loader.conf
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/HOSTNAME
 --- these two should be mostly for reference as
 their contents have changed significantly with
 changes to the system.
 /usr/local/share/snmp/{snmp.conf,snmpd.conf}
 ---  only if you run net-snmpd: for some reason it
  keeps its config files here instead of under
  /usr/local/etc

That covers all of the locations I know of where hand customised files
can generally be found (on machines I admin, at least).  Everything else
should be replacable by running a 'make world' cycle or by using the ports.
No doubt other people do things differently, so will have a slightly different
list...


Cheers,

Matthew
