Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
Best encrypted, or at least use point-to-point adhoc in bridge mode rather than point-to-AP unencrypted, which will surely get abused. quite available in Poland where people have unencrypted AP's at home. good antenna and you get free (and anonymous ;) access to the net. easily. With +15dBm antennae you should get (at least lower) 11g rates, and if you can afford 20+dBm dish grid antennae, so much the faster. grid antennas for 2.4Ghz are not expensive. give best available there are about 24dB, to have LARGE margin for noise. As others have said - avoid amplifiers, spend most on good antennae and amplifiers make sense ONLY when there are something on the line that damps the signal (like few trees) and you can't avoid that. but still it's not good, snow would fall on trees and then nothing will help. ___ 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

Re: Need help for acroread8
Hi, Manish Jain invalid.poin...@gmail.com writes: Hello Boris, You are top-posting again. :-( I can't really explain how, but I have got acroread8 up and running on my system. All I did was deinstall and reinstall pango and linux-pango. I then created the following 2 symlinks : /compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules - /compat/linux/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules - /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32 Then I ran /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules as root, which populated pango.modules. Neither of those files should present at the system if you install linux programs via ports/packages (if they do, please, reproduce it and file a PR): . /compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules; . /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules; . /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules. All those files are autocreated by the port/package: . /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32; . /compat/linux/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules. Once that happened, to my surprise, acroread fired up and ran seamlessly. The port system do it for you automatically. Hence, you should find out how did you manage to get there earlier to not get there in the future. It still gives the warning about the missing libgnomebreakpad.so, like all other linux inherited applications do, but that appears to be harmless. Thanks for all the help.

snip xfce-4.6 is running here on a couple of machines, with none of those problems. Those actually sound more like xorg problems. I don't think it's XORG for a couple of reasons: * when I first updated xfce, it didn't update xorg, and it was all working fine under xfce4 4.4 * problems don't seem to exist under fluxbox or twm and a couple minor ones: * XFCE menu doesn't work Which one? In what way? I miss the menu editor... The main menu off of the panel, which has a default icon of the rodent over a blue X. By doesn't work, I mean when you click on it nothing happens. snip portdowngrade and some work can probably do it. If your problems are really xorg related, changing window manager won't help.

Re: issues in XFCE 4.6 (looking for a working WM)
Try a smaller one, like evilwm. It's (pretty much) all command line. For example, you would open up a term and launch firefox from there (# firefox). Once you get the hang of its keybindings, which are vi-like, it's fun and easy. It's also compatible with aterm, which will give you transparent terminals (if that's something that interests you). Also, I highly recommend that you check out http://xwinman.org. I found it to be fun and informative to peruse the list of wm's there. Thanks for the link. http://xwinman.org is pretty cool.

BTW, I've since explored a bit and found what looks like a very useful companion (free, PDF) book How to Accelerate Your Internet that I've yet to read beyond the table of contents getting my attention, and a quick browse to scope the Traffic Shaping section. http://bwmo.net/ Very timely for me anyway; I have to tackle some Debian boxes in coming weeks, doing a crash course in iptables re both firewall and shaping. cheers, Ian ___ 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
Sysinstall cannot find snapshot releases
I'm a previous FreeBSD user that used to track current and returning after a few years. If my memory is correct, the definition of -stable, -release, and -current seems to have changed? (but my memory sucks so excuse me if I'm wrong). Can you no longer track -release, but instead -stable is actually more advanced at times (more bug fixes and backports)? So I guess I would like to use -current or -stable and occasionally cvsup the tree. I tried downloading the 200902 current and stable snapshots, and sysinstall keeps telling me the Main site doesn't have them, so I tried 200812 current and that doesn't work either. Is there an FTP problem this morning? -j ___ 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

Re: MySQL 5.0 on FreeBSD 7
Yes. Linux threads is a port of the linux threading library (devel/linuxthreads). OK... this setup still seems to underperform 64 bit RHEL 5.x for at least our setup. Unless I'm missing something. Our sites are higher traffic - 100-300 threads/connections at any given time.

From this, I would guess that you have a cflags statment in /etc/make.conf and it is bitting you. Kent Hi Kent, Thank you for replying. The fact is that: 1. I have never used any optimizations ever since I started using FreeBSD 2. This is a new box, and there is no /etc/make.conf as yet The only things I have done on this box (a Dell SC1435) is to install, csup (src, ports) and buildworld. I was just gonna do the kernel, then start doing the other stuff after the system updates. Your guess is wrong:-) Yes, you are right. I cvsuped and rebuilt my system and it died at the same spot.

What is the best XServer font configuration to use with international fonts (Cyrillic/Chinese/Korean)
I use the following font section: Section Files FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/local/ FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/ EndSection And I have many problems showing Cyrillic texts in Firefox. Letters are too thin. Some specific Belarus language issues too. What is the best font configuration to use to show all those languages nicely?

networked audio
Guys, This ought to be a fast, binary question: are there any [relatively] simple ways to set up a utility to play sounds [or sound+video] on a remote computer (say, 25m apart) and have the mp3/au/wav/ogg files on the distant computer and the audio play thru the nice speaker system in my office? The only suite I tried was NAS but that was years ago.

If there are no fonts for some language they should be installed and corresponding lines placed into xorg.conf. That's right. But I see you did not install the cyrillic fonts. Install the port x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-cyrillic from the ports collect. The port should add the font path to your x configuration file if it in the normal place. If it doesn't, you can add the path manually after you verify that the port did install and the fonts are in the appropriate directory. Some fonts may be defective. So they shouldn't be put there. So xorg.conf has to do with the problem. The directories in the path in the x configuration file are collections of fonts. You cannot delete individual fonts from the x configuration file. I specifically have an issue with the font calls sans-serif that FF uses to show Cyrillic texts. Then change the defaults in FF preferences. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu, then Content. Go to the Advanced menu from Fonts Colors. Use the drop-down menu to change Fonts for: Western to Fonts for: Cyrillic. Select fonts for each of the generic families: Proportional, Serif, etc. Uncheck the box for Allow pages to choose their own font (unless you are willing to allow authors to choose fonts you do not like). Click OK and close the Preferences menu. It must have come from FontPath in XServer. Yes, but mangling the x configuration is not the way to deal with it. If FF cannot find the font it thinks should be the default, there is no guarantee that FF's second choice will be any more pleasing (and it could be a great deal worse --- second choice might be refusing to display at all or using a Western font with many missing characters). -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ 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

CARP Load Balance by CUP - Memory - Ethernet Usage
Good Day every one! We have a situation and we are looking for a solution (the client is specific to implement this way): We are using FreeBSD FW cluster (2 units) for our DMZ zone. We are using CARP for VIP and round robin load balance. The result is not always balance, most of the times it is 80/20. We are looking at the following solution: Implement a solution that provides LB based on the following factors: 1. CPU 2. Memory 3. Ethernet traffic utilization Theoretically I can think when a packet comes to FW1, if it is busy (say CPU is 80%) then we need to implement a solution to send the packet to FW2 and vice verse. I heard that some tools exist to complement CARP for this purpose, but could not find at Google. I would highly appreciate any suggestions on this (or alternate solutions – we know we can use LB appliances, but we will have to many of them for several other servers too). I would appreciate your help or any alternate suggestions on how we can achieve this solution (apart from CARP).

If it were up to me I would choose NFS over Samba and any other similar app because: 1) It's idioticly simple to set up 2) Unbelivable performance 3) Accomodates windows, unix and linux (the latter 2 have native suport for it; tryed solaris 10, freebsd, openbsd, slackware, fedora, vector, and the list can continue; some big problems on xp64; moderate problems on xp32) 4) Less buggy the samba 5) Easyer to configure/maintain etc... Personally am not so fond of icecast and similar apps because it's so much easyer to have 1 app doing all you need. Let me explain here. Wioth NFS I mount (in Windows) a share under a letter and set it to automount every login. It's so much easyer to have full access to that share as if it were a local partition then having 1 app for winamp, another for file sharing, another for god-knows what else, and so on.
