ULE and Prescott question
This is a curiousity question. I'm running 7.2-STABLE at present on an old Inspiron XPS, which has a 3.4 GHz P4 Prescott CPU. I have hyperthreading enabled in the kernel. The question is: is there any appreciable performance difference to be expected with this hardware setup between the ULE scheduler and the 4BSD scheduler? Or does the fact that there is only one core eliminate any difference in performance characteristics? Scott Bennett, Comm.

Cheers herb langhans - sometimes the photos, mostly the JPG I guess, appear visible but in a deep purple shade.

gutenprint and lpd
The CUPS administration tool prints a fine test page to an Epson Stylus Photo R280 using a gutenprint ppd; but the printer does not appear in Abiword or Gimp. Attempts to configure the printer under Gimp's gutenprint plugin were a disaster -- my fault, I'm sure. I'm running FreeBSD 7.2 (STABLE as of last week) and XFCE4. I'm using applications installed, mostly, using 'pkg_add -r [app name]'. Is there a way to use gutenprint drivers with lpd when the printer definition is not in the foomatic database? Is there something special I need to do for applications to see CUPS printers?

I suggest you look into another method of creating the memstick.img so it downloads faster. dd does no compression of the data. You're comparing apples to oranges here to some extent. disc1 isn't compressed either. The reason the memstick is larger is that it contains more stuff than disc1. That extra stuff is usually referred to as livefs and having that allows the memstick to be used in Fixit mode - you can boot off the memstick and enter into sysinstall's Fixit menu item which in turn you can use to get to a usable shell that has all the normal FreeBSD base system utilities available. That functionality can be useful for recovering a machine from mistakes. The CDROM media has a separate livefs. We needed to separate them out because of size issues on the CDROM media - the contents of disc1 plus the contents needed from the livefs disc to make it work in Fixit mode are too big for our target CDROM media size (700Mb). The DVD media contains both so DVDs can be used for this 'Fixit' mode as well. If you're going to use download time as any sort of evaluation of the memstick's merit you need to compare the speed of downloading it versus the speed of downloading both disc1 and livefs. Though I'm not quite sure why that's any measure of the memstick's merit. I think I've settled on the memstick images containing what was provided with BETA2, which will be the installation bits from disc1, the livefs bits, and just the packages that make up the documentation. Put a slightly different way it's the contents of the DVD minus all packages except for the documentation packages. That's my best guess on the trade-off of size versus functionality that would benefit the most end-users. Using a 8gb memstick as the target to install 8.0 on took 2 times longer than disc1 cd installing to same 8gb memstick. This shouldn't come as too big a surprise, for *typical* machines things slow down a bit if you're using the same I/O subsystem for both reads and writes. I'm guessing your CD isn't USB. Even if it is, you're again comparing apples to oranges to a large degree here. If a speed comparison is important to you here then compare the speed of installing from the memstick we provide versus one you create with your script from disc1. I'd be surprised if installing from the one you created using your script was faster than the memstick we provide. Here is a script i have used in the past to convert the disc1.iso to bootable memstick. Maybe its better to add this script to the place where 8.0-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso is located in place of the memstick.img. That way the 3 times larger memstick.img is not needed any more. Per above the 3 times larger memstick.img we're providing has more functionality than what you would get by running your script. For some people your script also causes something of a chicken-and-egg issue. It may not be particularly convenient to run your script if you don't already have FreeBSD installed on a machine. I don't see the harm in us providing one pre-built memstick image for peoples' convenience. Just curious, but is there an easy way to get all of this onto the pen in the first place?

Re: ULE and Prescott question
Scott Bennett wrote: This is a curiousity question. I'm running 7.2-STABLE at present on an old Inspiron XPS, which has a 3.4 GHz P4 Prescott CPU. I have hyperthreading enabled in the kernel. The question is: is there any appreciable performance difference to be expected with this hardware setup between the ULE scheduler and the 4BSD scheduler? Or does the fact that there is only one core eliminate any difference in performance characteristics? I'd guess the second thing. It's not like there's cache to be shared between cores, etc. ULE might still be better simply because it is more modern.

Also, I have the bruteblock syslog.conf setup as per the manual as well. Proftpd and Bruteblock were both setup from ports. Has anyone ran into a similar issue?

Hi Jimmie,
Out of curiousity, what were you trying to do when you issued that command?
And this reminds me of an equally stupid thing I did a few years ago.
I had a directories named share on three different partitions. These
were for files that I and my then current gf shared. At one point I
wanted to clean them all out, and issued this command:
find -s / -type d -name share -exec rm -Rd {}/* \; -exec rm -Rd {}/.* \;
Fortunately I had backups. And after that I renamed those share
directories to something else.
And yes, I too sat in the stupid corner.
I messed up the JPEG update somehow, many ports were failing to build.
Ran libchk and found some unused/need libraries, and directories, so I
was going to rm them.
Typed in rm -rf, flipped to another terminal to gather my list, then
thought it would be better if I was actually in /usr/local/lib so typed
in cd /usr/local/lib without realizing I was in the terminal with rm -rf
ready to go... I noticed as soon as I hit [enter] and was able to ^c it
a few seconds later, but the damage was done. Lack of coffee/beer and
administration is a Bad Thing (tm).
Pure stupidity trying to rush to get the day started. Lesson learned.

Re: gutenprint and lpd
On Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:26:21 -0700 (PDT), Andrew Gould andrewgo...@yahoo.com wrote: Is there a way to use gutenprint drivers with lpd when the printer definition is not in the foomatic database? A problem is that CUPS seems to replace the default printer spooler mechanism. There are settings in /etc/rc.conf that have to be done in order to use CUPS and leave the lpd facility of the BSD system aside. Is there something special I need to do for applications to see CUPS printers? No. CUPS defines a printer name or uses the default lp. You can set the environmental variable PRINTER to point to the default printer. CUPS works as a printer filter, called driver in MICROS~1 land. Input data is given to this filter, and it translates it into the natural language of the printer. This data is then handed to the printer spooler's waiting queue, and finally transmitted into the printer when it's online and ready. As an example, I have apsfilter as a printer filter which creates PCL from any input data (using gs) from any application. My printer has the name Laserjet (a HP Laserjet 4000 duplex). I'm using FreeBSD's printer spooler. In your case: You surely want to solve the potential problem of concurrent printer spoolers - those of the system (/usr/bin/lp*) and those of CUPS (/usr/local/bin/lp*). I think there's documentation around in the FreeBSD Handbook in the Printing section. Personally, I dislike CUPS, but it seems to be the only way to get unprinters work on FreeBSD - modern egg-laying woolmilksows that do not conform to any standards... -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

This may be the reason it took 3 times longer. Just a guess. Using a 8gb memstick as the target to install 8.0 on took 2 times longer than disc1 cd installing to same 8gb memstick. Might have something to do with the amount of data being written. Again, just a guess. Are you sure it wasn't 3 times longer? Selected the [STANDARD/KERNEL DEVELOPER] distribution, It completed successfully, but the new 8.0 8gb memstick was not recognized as bootable. I don't know why that's the case as I am unable to reproduce this problem, but if the memstick.img is 1GB, why are you using an 8GB memstick instead of the 2GB? Here is a script i have used in the past to convert the disc1.iso to bootable memstick. Maybe its better to add this script to the place where 8.0-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso is located in place of the memstick.img. That way the 3 times larger memstick.img is not needed any more. No. If you took a look at the contents of the memstick, you'd realize it's not just a copy of disc1. It also includes livefs. This is probably why the memstick.img is so much bigger. :D -- randi ___ 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 Instead of combining disc1 and livefs into a single memstick.img would't it be better to make 2 memstick images.

Are all USB Flash Memory sticks bootable?
Have problem with being able to boot off an new 8GB USB Flash Memory stick. When I load the 8.0 disc1.iso to an 2GB USB Flash Memory stick it will boot fine. But when I do the same thing to a new 8GB USB Flash Memory stick it’s not recognized as bootable. I can access the installed partitions manually by mounting then on the 7.2 system. So I know the 8GB stick has been loaded correctly. I am doing this on a 7.2 release. Below are the console messages that get displayed when I plug in each of the USB Flash Memory stick. You can see a great difference between the first set of messages for the 8GB stick versus the 2GB stick that follows. I want to boot off the 8GB stick just like I do with the 2GB stick. What is going on here? They should be handled the same way.
