keyboard layout switching problem
Hi everybody! After today's upgrade of xkeyboard-config (all ports are up-to-date) I have a problem with switching between English and Russian layouts in KDE. Instead of country flag icon or letters, the "err" is shown. The keyboard layouts are configured in KDE Control Center. xorg.conf contains the default settings, obtained by X -configure. What can I do to fix the problem? If I can provide more details, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

The only thing that annoys me about portupgrade is that it's written in Ruby, and when it's time for an upgrade I always have to upgrade the Ruby compiler as well. Upgrading Ruby just takes forever on these old battered beige boxes. I have similar issues with Darcs and the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. Wish they could be ported to C++ or something. Oh well. One bit of advice I would do well to remember is: the first thing to do after /installing/ the ports tree is to /update/ the ports tree.

Here's a quick link. http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/32/X11_Forwarding.html Considerring the client uses a special local display setting, would it work to set the environment variables in PuTTY itself, although, that would seem to be manual again. With respect to X, check out the xauth man page. I'm curious as to whether the xauth file needs to exist in the user's home directory. I think the instructions (pictures) showed a key being added to the PuTTY session config. Cheers, Michael S.

Do you have SMP enabled?
No. Both boxes have pretty minimal, basic installations.
You also might be able to tune the kernel clock rate to obtain better
performance; I forget what the values were for sysctl, but if you search
around the current@ archives a bit, there was a discussion involving VMware
and clock tuning approximately 2-3 months ago which details this issue, and
possible solutions.
Perhaps tuning could help. I'll check the archives.
However, it just seems to me that the 1.8 GHz box ought to perform the simple
prog (orig post) at least as fast as the 6 MHz box.
Depends on:
1. What you're trying to do.
2. What your programs are optimized for.
3. Additional factors (I/O, load, etc).
4. Hardware attached to each machine. Some examples...
a. Comparing a SCSI disk vs a PATA disk.
b. Clockspeed applied to the RAM on one machine isn't equal to the other.
c. Motherboard manufacturers -- some manufacturers have done a shoddy job
with memory handling, BIOS manufacturing, and other critical stats in the past.
Try disabling ACPI on the P4 though and see what happens. I will say though,
the Willamette (1st gen P4) chips weren't Intel's finest desktop chip; some
people went far enough to complain that the Willamette series was nothing more
than overclocked Coppermines, i.e. P3's. I haven't taken a look at the
architectures and compared them, so those may be empty claims.
You'll get performance with a Northwood or Prescott series P4 processor though,
in particular the later revisions of both chips, once they introduced
Hyperthreading.
And remember, operating frequency of a CPU doesn't mean everything; it's just a
ballpark figure for performance ;).
Finally, quite a few advancements have been made going from 5.4 to 6.2. I'd say
give 6.2 (and soon 7-BETA/-RELEASE) a try before ruling out a major problem
with your PC(s), or FreeBSD (overall).

No. Both boxes have pretty minimal, basic installations.

Perhaps tuning could help. I'll check the archives.
However, it just seems to me that the 1.8 GHz box ought to perform the simple
prog (orig post) at least as fast as the 6 MHz box.

Have you compiled your kernel with the following options?
| options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
| options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD_EXTENDED
I found that this kind of forwarding silently failed until I enabled the
EXTENDED option in addition to the typical option.
`man ipfw' briefly mentions these two kernel options in the fwd section.

Policy Based Routing problem help me
Hi all,
I have a firewall/router with FreeBSD 6.2 installed on it. 2 ISP connection
and 2 LAN connections. I need to do a policy-based routing. All I need that
packets coming from one ISP interface return to that interface (incoming
connections' source based routing) and the other hand do a IP based routing
from the LAN (Some packets will goes out via ISP 1 some others via ISP 2
depending on IPs requested). I tried to do that with ipfw fwd but it didn't
work any way (e.g. with ip.forwarding enabled or no). Even I've disabled my
static routes, default gw. Just it do nothing. Sample configs are
ipfw add fwd ISP_gw from ${my lan} to any via ${eif}
ipfw add fwd ISP_gw from ${my lan} to any out via ${eif}
ipfw add fwd ISP_gw from any to any xmit ${eif}
Ipfw add fwd ISP_gw from any to any via ${eif} out
I don't use nat, proxy. Just need to route.
Please help
Regards,
Narek

Do you have SMP enabled? If so, please realize that you won't benefit from it
at all because the chip you have (Willamette) doesn't support SMP
(Hyperthreading or multi-core processing). In fact this may hinder your
processing a bit, because I believe that adding SMP adds more complicated
algorithms and additional job constraints to the kernel scheduler; I could be
incorrect though.
You also might be able to tune the kernel clock rate to obtain better
performance; I forget what the values were for sysctl, but if you search around
the current@ archives a bit, there was a discussion involving VMware and clock
tuning approximately 2-3 months ago which details this issue, and possible
solutions.

Did you check if the background fsck was still running? In practice you rarely need to do do a manual check - most reboots can be handled by a background check, and most cases where it can't are spotted during the initial foreground check and done in the foreground. Just watch the console for unexpected softupdate inconsistencies. If you run fsck with -y, you might as well set "fsck_y_enable=yes" in rc.conf and have it done automatically if the initial preen fails. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you feel strongly that the problem is FreeBSD-related, I'd suggest you provide hardware details, such the type of disks and the controller. If you feel strongly that the problem is with PostgreSQL, I would post to the performance list at postgresql.org and include your disk types, RAM sizes and your postgresql.conf Taking a guess, based on your symptoms, I would expect you don't have PostgreSQL tuned effectively. If there's a lot of IO, but memory isn't being used, then the memory is being wasted. Start with shared_buffers, and see if bumping that up helps (start with 1/3 of available RAM). -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

recover corrupt 6.2 installation
It looks like the / partition is corrupt. For some incomprehensible reason (possibly & probably the sata hdd connectors which appear to me to be very "flimsy" as I have had this connection problem on several motherboards) the sata drive gets disconnected or partially so. This appeared a couple of times after bootup when the computer seemed to slow down and could not access files. Rebooting necessitated fsck and after sever reboots and hdd cable jigglings, things were almost normal; cron gave innumerable mail messages and pkg_info could not find or read +COMMENTS or such files. Yet things worked more or less. Now, on bootup, the hdd appears to be read correctly but the messages come up: fsck: Bad file descriptor Unknown error; help! init: /rescue/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /rrescue/sh: I suspect that there are only 2 possibilities: reinstall everything (ohmigodidon'twant to go throught this again) or update the kernel or the 6.2 installation (maybe the installed programs don't need to be reinstalled ) :) What could be done? I have no important files on the disk as I keep those on other disks and/or computers. I have googled without success. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: FastCGI PHP does not start on server reboot (via rc script).
On 7/24/07, Maxim Khitrov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello,
I have this problem that I can't figure out. One of my web servers is
using a combination of lighttpd and FastCGI php to run a few sites. On
lighttpd website there is an rc script to help FreeBSD users start
FastCGI php processes automatically. I've pasted that script below.
I should say that if I run it manually as root, everything works
beautifully. As you can see, the script creates a unix socket at
/var/run/fastcgi/php.sock, and lighttpd is then able to execute php
scripts. The problem is that every time the server is rebooted, the
script does not start back up. I have to start it manually. I can't
find any log entries that would indicate a problem, so I'm not even
sure where to start looking. Below is the script that I'm trying to
run, file permissions for relevant files, and contents of my rc.conf.
Would greatly appreciate it if someone could at least tell me where to
start looking for a solution to this problem.

Sorry for replying to myself, but I forgot to mention that this server
is actually running inside a jail. I have no idea if that has anything
to do with it. I also have other services being started from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (lighttpd, mysql, and a few others), but this
fastcgi script is the only one that fails to work.

If you'd shown the lines just before what you pasted, they probably would have looked like, apart from your slice numbering: ** /dev/ad0s2d (NO WRITE) ** Last Mounted on /var ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity Notice (NO WRITE). As others pointed out, fsck won't write to a mounted filesystem; running 'fsck -y /var' is then the same as 'fsck -n /var' You can run 'fsck -n' anytime you like, even as a non-root user, and see what would show up if you (again) lost power right now without a clean shutdown. Here's the rest of mine, run just now .. pretty similar to yours below, noting that the file mtimes are as of my last boot .. ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts UNREF FILE I=18 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 3 23:28 2007 CLEAR? no UNREF FILE I=24 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 3 23:28 2007 CLEAR? no UNREF FILE I=39 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 3 23:28 2007 CLEAR? no UNREF FILE I=25246 OWNER=root MODE=140666 SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 3 23:28 2007 CLEAR? no ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups SUMMARY BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? no 2347 files, 56617 used, 70481 free (609 frags, 8734 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation) > ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts > UNREF FILE I=133267 OWNER=root MODE=140666 > SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 24 07:54 2007 > CLEAR? no > > UNREF FILE I=235892 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 > SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 24 16:43 2007 > CLEAR? no > > UNREF FILE I=235894 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 > SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 24 16:43 2007 > CLEAR? no > > UNREF FILE I=235929 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 > SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 24 16:43 2007 > CLEAR? no > > UNREF FILE I=235932 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 > SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 24 16:43 2007 > CLEAR? no > > UNREF FILE I=235933 OWNER=mysql MODE=100600 > SIZE=0 MTIME=Jul 24 16:43 2007 > CLEAR? no > > ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups > FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK > SALVAGE? no > > SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD > SALVAGE? no > > BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS > SALVAGE? no > > 53119 files, 473457 used, 617845 free (10557 frags, 75911 blocks, 1.0% > fragmentation) If in doubt, drop to single user, umount /var and fsck it .. but you're probably in good shape; the sort of inconsistencies shown above are to be entirely expected whenever running fsck (-n) on a mounted fs.

kernel: interrupt storm detected on "irq11:"; throttling interrupt source
Hi, I bought recently wireless PCMCIA card with atheros chip. When it`s not connected to my access point (ap down, or I just brought the card up and didn`t tell it to which SSID to connect) I often see kernel: interrupt storm detected on "irq11:"; throttling interrupt source and my system freezes for some seconds. Is there some way I can avoid this? -- PGP KeyID: 0x3118168B Keyserver: pgp.mit.edu Key fingerprint BB50 2983 0714 36DC D02E 158A E03D 56DA 3118 168B signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Michael, Thanks for the directions. Using your method does work. However your method bypasses X11 forwarding. > 6. Log into the FreeBSD machine using PuTTY.

The command I used was: > > export DISPLAY=192.168.xxx.xxx:0 What I want to get working is X11 forwarding where you don't set the DISPLAY variable explicitly.

Thank you very much indeed! But I managed in a (I think simpler way by
adding
/usr/local/squid/logs/access.logsquid:squid 644 7 * @T00
J /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid 30
to newsyslog.conf

Keyboard layout problem with xkeyboard-config-1.0
After updating to xkeyboard-config-1.0 (from 0.9_3) yesterday and booting for the first time after the update today, the KDE Keyboard Tool tray icon displays "err" with tooltip "Error changing keyboard layout to 'us'" (or 'de(deadgraveacute)' depending on what I try). Indeed, the keyboard layout does not change. I now have a weird keyboard layout with 'y', 'z', and most symbols being in place of the German keyboard layout, but the umlauts give some Greek letters and 'sz' and all 'Alt Gr' combinations are dead. (I have 'keymap="german.iso"' in rc.conf.) I did a 'portupgrade xkeyboard-config'. Do I have to do some forced recursive recompile? I hesitate a bit, since it would involve synaptics, xf86-input-*, xf86-video-*, xorg, xorg-drivers, and xorg-server. Or is there anything else that might be wrong and easier to correct? (All my ports are up to date with current portsnap snapshot.)

Set both their user and root's shell to that tcsh (or copy over the system tcsh) and you'll have a log of all their commands, provided they don't run another shell, something you'll just have to instruct them on. Tell them you'll consider it trespassing if they use another shell. As far as protecting logs, securelevels will offer some degree of protection. If you set syslog to log user.* to a seperate file, and then set the sappnd and sunlnk flags, then the file can only be appended to. If you then raise your securelevel to 1, these flags can not be removed. If you're being that paranoid, you'll want to set flags on syslog.conf as well, so the facility can't be changed. I haven't actually tried any of the above, so your mileage will definitely vary. -fr. -- Feargal Reilly, Chief Techie, FBI.

Script Automated voice dialout to normal human voice phones?
Hi, i intend to implement a home security system based on zoneminder. Upon certain conditions i'd like to trigger various alarms depending on the various criteria met/sensors values, etc... like trigger an external siren or call my mobile phone. Now what i'd like to do is to write a script that is going to be called from inside zoneminder, that will call my mobile and will play a pre-recorded wav or mp3 message like: "your house is being at risk, call the police now". I searched a lot, and could not find anything close. Results from google are saturated with "answering machine" and vgetty, which in my case i dont think they fit. Anyone with experience with dialing out human phones? Is that possible? Pls, include my address to your replies, since i am not subscribed on -questions.

I received a slightly different error when I tried running an application the first time. My error is from Xming and displays as follows (using X forwarding): AUDIT: Tue Jul 24 23:47:34 2007: 608 C:\Program Files\Xming\xming.exe client 4 rejected from IP 192.168.10.101 This error simply means to add the ``-ac'' option to the Xming desktop shortcut. Let me walk you through what I did. Before I begin, I'm using 6-STABLE (now on 6.2) with Xorg 7.2. QUICK INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make sure to install Xming using both the Xming installer program and Xming fonts installer. 2. Modify the Desktop Xming shortcut to include the following arguments: ``:0 -clipboard -multiwindow -ac''. The ac option accepts client requests and quells the error that I had above. 3. Start Xming using the shortcut you just created 4. I'm going to guess that you may leave your sshd_config file the way it is - I did. 5. Install the Xming Portable PuTTY package. Make the changes shown to the PuTTY configuration as shown here before you connect to the FreeBSD machine (NOTE the X11 forwarding to localhost:0 - I think this is how you said your config was): http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/trouble.php 6. Log into the FreeBSD machine using PuTTY. Set the DISPLAY environment variable equal to the IP address and display of the XP machine. The command I used was: export DISPLAY=192.168.xxx.xxx:0 7. Make sure your Windows Firewall is either turned off or allows incoming requests for Xming. 8. Execute a command like xeyes.
