Re: CONF DNS
The named.conf is used only if you need to set up your owm DNS server and you do not use someone other then the default. To resolve external hosts you need to enter the dns server IP in the /etc/resolv.conf file. It is not resolvE.conf. Hope this will help you.

Why Atheros WiFi card is so unstable?
I have Linux box sitting next to FreeBSD box that has a very cheap Airlink 101 card but has no problems connecting to my WiFi network. Every time when Linux box says that quality of connection drops below 10/100 FreeBSD box shows status: no carrier. Linux connections still function ok. I even bought a large WiFi antenna for FreeBSD box but still have this problem. Is there some sensitivity parameter that driver may be setting too low on the card? Why wouldn't the quality of connection with Atheros card be so unstable on FreeBSD? 7.1-STABLE ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xcffe-0xcffe irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci0 Yuri ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Updating 7.1 kernel using zfs root
Hey guys, I'm currently running on FreeBSD 7.1 AMD64 using a ZFS filesystem, but my /boot folder is linked to a UFS filesytem (/bootdir). I set it up following the instructions here: http://www.ish.com.au/solutions/articles/freebsdzfs In a nut shell: Install a minimal FreeBSd 7.1 from CDs onto a UFS partition, boot into single user mode, create your ZFS partitions, and copy stuff over onto ZFS, and link back to the UFS boot's folder for / boot.

I do see it installs into /boot/ kernel (which is really /bootdir/boot/kernel) and moves aside the old kernel. When I reboot, it kernel panics pretty quickly (it spits out a whole bunch of weird stuff including strange symbols) shortly after the boot loader. Fortunately, I'm able to boot into the kernel.old kernel (the one from the CDs) just fine. Is there some extra step I need to do in this kind of setup to update the kernel that I'm missing?

Emacs doesn't want to support 256 colors in terminal window
Hi, I hope someone will be able to help with this. I've already checked all resources I could google but still can't get it to work. Basically my terminal can show more than 16 colors but emacs doesn't want to use these colors. I run FreeBSD (7.1-RELEASE) as a virtual machine and use it without any X interface, only through ssh from a Windows machine (the host). I have set up both putty and ssh in cygwin to report term type as 'xterm-256color' (putty in the configuration window and xterm using -tn command line parameter). That part works fine because I can run scripts available on the internet (256colors2.pl, colortest), which surely show more than 8 colors in my terminal window. The problem is when I run emacs and type: M-x list-colors-display. Emacs shows only boring 8 colors (not even 16). A bit about my configuration. Emacs was compiled without X11 support (from ports emacs-nox11-22.3). I also don't have xterm installed. I tried to set env variable TERM=xterm-256color but it didn't help. There is a special note about using terms in emacs in /usr/local/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/term/README I unpacked xterm.el.gz from that folder and tried to supply it as term/xterm-256color.el or term/xterm.el to emacs, but that also didn't work. It is interesting to note, that when I type: tput color I get different values depending on the user and terminal: user grzesiu, putty, TERM=xterm-256color, tput colors: 114 the same user, putty and TERM value, but tput colors: 123, another trial and output is 80 user root, putty, TERM=xterm, tput colors: 184 the same user and putty, but TERM=xterm-256color, tput colors: 115 user grzesiu, ssh from cygwin, TERM=xterm-256color, tput colors: 139 I don't understand these values because when I run these scripts above I don't see any difference in colors shown (subjectively). In neither of these configurations emacs show more than 8 colors. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Re: can't find an internal flash reader that doesn't crash 7.1
i just bought a store-brand one at Best Buy at the local shop, internal 3.5 USB dongle that plugs into the motherboard header. I think it's a 7-in-1 (or is it up to 14-in-1???) Works well, but the devfs has a little trick that if you slip in a USB drive after bootup, you have to write 0 bytes to the devname to have it recognize slices and partitions... might be easier to restart devfs or something.. Ok, check, I get it - be patient, and we're fixing the usb stack, already. I was just looking for a solution for *this* week. I've ran current before, but given all the traffic and arguing over usb2 lately, I'm sure not going to install it just to get the card reader going on my *work* desktop, I might as well take a couple days off. Again, not being critical, I just don't like the answers that say, well, obviously, everyone has 10 hours to tweak their system instead of spending $9 on a new reader that works with the old stack. Buying hardware that works has always been a legitimate option - just look at all the people asking about laptops, motherboards, and even NICs. I have personally found very few card readers that reliably detect a card, then allow you to mount and use it on 7.1 without a freeze, or a crash on mount or *after* or *during* unmount (I'm not a reformed ubuntu user, I don't just rip the card out and expect it to work). More typically, however, they just never show a card inserted. I'm going to have to try the write 0 bytes trick mentioned, maybe that looks like it will take me from 75% dead readers to 75% working readers. Several of my working readers under 6.3 quit under 7.x. The only brand that I've found to be a slam dunk is i-rocks and they don't make an internal. The guys working on usb2 should get a donation of about 50 cases of beer a piece when this is over - anyone want to start a pool?

You can certainly start sysinstall on a running system. The only thing you can't do is have it write to mounted disk space. I don't think that is your intent, so there should be no problem.

ClamAV execusion died without error messages

However, when I execute clamav-clamd.sh, clamav-freshclam.sh, both software start for a very short momonet and died without any complaims. I could not see any clamav items running by executing 'ps -axw'. My last executed piece software, clamav-milter.sh is complaining missing and waiting for a socket, clam-milter.sorc. I did configuration for sendmail, but very littler on clamav. Can anyone familiar with Clamav helps to provide a clue on what is going wrong? Thank you!

Re: Can sysinstall be run interactively to install onto a second drive?
Yes for sure. You can partition secondary drives on a running system as long as the drive isn't mounted and your kern.securelevel 2. It's -1, so I assume that's okay. You will need to define doesn't seem to like what I'm trying to do to get a more constructive answer. Yeah, that wasn't very useful was it? Okay, I'm having a couple of problems, at least. One problem is I don't know how to tell sysinstall where my target root is located. I have something like this in my install.cfg: disk=da0 bootManager=standard partition=all diskPartitionEditor da0s1-1=ufs 0 /newroot diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit This formats my target drive as I want it (a single full disk partition at this point), but when I do the actual install, there is no way to tell sysinstall where my target root is. So, when the commands dists=base kernels GENERIC manpages distSetCustom installCommit are executed, the files are extracted and installed on my active system, not the system I am building on da0. That's my problem in a nutshell ultimately--how do I tell sysinstall where my target root is?

Re: ClamAV execusion died without error messages
In response to mtan...@comcast.net: My server is currently running on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0. I installed the port software, P5-Mail-ClamAV with sendmail along with others: Spamassassin and Milter etc. Everything was compiled fine, and sendmail is working with Spamassin too. However, when I execute clamav-clamd.sh, clamav-freshclam.sh, both software start for a very short momonet and died without any complaims. I could not see any clamav items running by executing 'ps -axw'. My last executed piece software, clamav-milter.sh is complaining missing and waiting for a socket, clam-milter.sorc. I did configuration for sendmail, but very littler on clamav. Can anyone familiar with Clamav helps to provide a clue on what is going wrong? The rc script isn't going to tell you anything.

Re: Can sysinstall be run interactively to install onto a second drive?
That's my problem in a nutshell ultimately--how do I tell sysinstall where my target root is? It impacts the whole session, including packageAdd commands. I did a bit of snooping around the distribution and I see that each directory has a simple install script to install base, the kernel, manpages, and do on, and they all use DESTDIR to point to the location where the system is being installed. So I don't need to use sysinstall at all, I'll just call these install scripts directly and that will do exactly what I want... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

No matter what I get only 8 colors, even if terminal is able to shows much much more. Another strange thing is that as far as I can see xterm-256color in FreeBSD termcap is simply an alias to xterm. Nevertheless, with these scripts mentioned above I can view more than 16 colors even if TERM is defined only as xterm. Do you think I should report it as a defect in emacs ports? Not really. You can try changing Co cap from 8 to 256 inside termcap file, dont forget to use cap_mkdb after that, and dont make stupid mistakes. Perhaps emacs should like vim enable changing Co cap inside itself. Related to tput command, you should use tput Co tput colors tends to report number of columns. Also it is very hard to follow you: putty vs xterm vs cygwin; dont forget that your terminal may use terminfo instead of termcap . Have you seen the termcap file in FreeBSD? It is a quite complicated mess with aliases everywhere, xterm defined a dozen of times in different places and various Co values for each of them. I wouldn't know where to change it without screwing everything up. Besides that, why normal scripts can show all these colors and emacs has a problem with it? But you was right, tput Co shows only 8 colors, regardless of what tput colors shows. Many thanks for that hint! Regarding putty vs xterm vs cygwin: xterm(-color/-256color) is just the logical definition of the terminal and is independent on on the program used as the physical terminal. For instance both putty and xterm (under cygwin) can be configured to report the terminal type as xterm-256color or any other terminal available (and if not, the TERM env variable can be redefined). But I am sure you already know that. Because I am logging from Windows I can't use xterm natively, so I tried it under cygwin. But it shouldn't matter as long as I know that they support 256 colors (and I know that because I run these

It will be auto-assigned to me :) If you haven't seen my response to the other email in the thread, then the progress is that I should be using tput Co, not tput colors. I tried all these configurations mentioned in my email and I see that tput Co always reports 8, regardless of what tput colors reports. That might be explaining the problem with emacs. Now, why tput reports 8 even if the (logical) terminal is defined as xterm-color or xterm-256color? Well, maybe the problem is not in emacs but in termcap/terminfo? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Also it is very hard to follow you: putty vs xterm vs cygwin; dont forget that your terminal may use terminfo instead of termcap . Further to my previous email, I've spotted my mistake and wanted to clarify it. I am not using xterm under cygwin but rxvt. Sorry about that. So basically I connect to my remote FreeBSD server using a physical terminal from Windows (either putty or rxvt on cygwin), and then I run emacs on that server and expect it to be able to show 256 colors on the Windows terminal. For that I reconfigured putty/rxvt to report the (logical) terminal type as xterm-256color. That didn't work so I tried to redefine the TERM environment variable on my account, but that didn't work either. The problem seems to be with the Co value defined for the xterm terminal type, because 'tput Co' shows 8 instead of 256 for all physical/logical terminal configurations. I hope now it is clear what I am running where. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Other than the kadmin protocol differences why change from Heimdal to MIT?

Flash 9 crash problems
I have upgraded my 7.0-RELEASE system to RELENG_7 as of 02/19/2009. I had Firefox 2.0.0.12 installed before the upgrade. Then, I installed Adobe Flash 9 following the instructions here http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=51075+0+archive/2008/freebsd-emulation/20081102.freebsd-emulation So I have linux_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf, compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in /etc/sysctl.conf, and OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 in /etc/make.conf, and the following line in /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 I then installed www/nspluginwrapper and www/linux-flashplugin9. The plugins showed up in Firefox when I type about:pugins as -- Shockwave Flash File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r152 MIME Type Description SuffixesEnabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplashFutureSplash Player spl Yes -- After that, I can see flash videos on youtube and other websites. The problem is that when I close the tabs containing a flash video (most of the times when it is playing, but sometimes even when it is paused), npviewer.bin crashes with a core dump (npviewer.bin.core) in my home directory and it leaves a lot of zombie npviewer.bin processes running. Note that Firefox does not crash and is stable. At this stage, if I want to view another video, a gray box appears and nothing plays. If I kill all the zombie processes, the videos load and play just fine. Does anybody know what I should do to fix this?
