I'm sure it works very well on up-to-date hardware, but on older hardware, where all the autodetect magic won't work properly, problems may occur. Furthermore, if you need to have a non-standard keyboard layout, e. g. the german one, this has to be set in a different place now. As far as I know, HAL and DBUS, along with FreeBSD 8, work very well for different automounting scenarios (CD, DVD, USB). Soon I will encounter the joy of the new X modularity and dependencies. :-) It's still worth mentioning that it's possible to run X in the old fashioned way, but DBUS and HAL have to be excluded at compile time. -- 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

Note that each file edited can have a separate (!) edit buffer / marker that can be changed on both (!) ends and even be edited while (!) being selected. Honestly, the only reason I want to switch is because I want a four char tab...really. joe: ^TD8Enter. You can, however, set the tab character to any width you want.

FreeBSD comes with nvi by default, though, and if you find you don't care about Vim's additional features, you may want to use that instead. Note that nvi doesn't support syntax highlighting though, last I checked. I know some people might read your list of requirements and claim that emacs is as good a fit as vi, but beg to differ for at least two specific reasons: 1. You mentioned wanting to be able to move around easily with a single keystroke. The keystroke count for various operations tends to be slightly greater in emacs than in vi. 2. You mentioned wanting to stay close to home row. The truth is that vi and emacs are almost precisely on par here, for the most part, but I think that the key chording requirements of common emacs operation does cause the fingers to stray from home row on a QWERTY keyboard a bit more than vi's tendency to stick to single-key commands a lot more. It's just my good luck that I happen to prefer vi/Vim over emacs myself, while your requirements also seem to favor vi/Vim. I wrote an introduction to productive use of Vim a while back in my personal Weblog. It is most emphatically *not* a tutorial -- it doesn't tell you what commands you need to know to use it or give you tips and tricks for getting specific things done, really. What it does is discuss in very general terms useful approaches to doing things like starting Vim, saving and exiting while using it, taking advantage of the vi modal editing paradigm, and learning more about it over time.

I'm sure it works very well on up-to-date hardware, but on older hardware, where all the autodetect magic won't work properly, problems may occur. Furthermore, if you need to have a non-standard keyboard layout, e. g. the german one, this has to be set in a different place now. As far as I know, HAL and DBUS, along with FreeBSD 8, work very well for different automounting scenarios (CD, DVD, USB). Soon I will encounter the joy of the new X modularity and dependencies. :-) It's still worth mentioning that it's possible to run X in the old fashioned way, but DBUS and HAL have to be excluded at compile time.

OpenVPN Client
Hi, I'm trying to connect to an OpenVPN server in my office. To do this, I installed OpenVPN 2.0.6 i386-portbld-freebsd7.2 [SSL] [LZO] from ports, and looking at different tutorials I found it needs a config file in /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf. The problem here, is that our server provides an client.ovpn file containing all the connection params needed by a client, in fact, we connect windows machines just by installing OpenVPN_Installer.exe, it configures a TAP device and a client that reads the client.ovpn file. Now, in my FreeBSD 7.2 i386 machine, I did this: Created the /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf (the port doesn't created it automatically) with this content: remote 200.80.219.194.static.techtelnet.net client proto tcp port 443 dev tun ns-cert-type server auth-user-pass auth-retry interact comp-lzo user nobody group nobody verb 3 ca /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/ca.key cert /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/cert.key key /usr/local/etc/openvpn/keys/key.key This contents are extracted from client.ovpn, and ca, cert and key files were extracted from the same file. I kldload tun, but when I do ifconfig, it doesn't shows nothing related to tun or tap.

One advantage of using several in parallel is that you can configure each to a special need of you and then start the one which seems to fit best your current task. I find that I get the same benefit by creating multiple configuration files for a single application, and starting it with the configuration I want for the specific task at hand, if that single application with different configurations is better suited to the task at hand than some other application. For instance, I might have a .vim_ruby_rc and a .vim_english_rc, one for programming in Ruby and one for writing articles in English. If I want to have quick, easy startup for each, I might use aliases such as: alias evim 'vim -S .evimrc' alias rvim 'vim -S .rvimrc' If I want a quick way to remind myself what Vim configurations I have available, I might use an alias like this: alias vimlist 'alias|grep vim' I would do this sort of thing because of the unignorable boost to my productivity that I have observed when using Vim, as opposed to other editors. I don't want to give that up for some varying configuration options, using something like nano instead. If, however, you find that a different editor actually suits your needs better for a different purpose, by all means use it for that purpose. I just didn't want to leave these comments without ensuring that it's clear to anyone who doesn't already know it that it's easy to use different configurations for the same editor when using it for different purposes. I do something similar with my mail user agent, and email downloading and sending tools, so that I can work with multiple email addresses without having to use email clients I don't like. joe has also the advantage that it behaves differently depending under which name your start it.

Re: Restarting daemons after portupgrade/portmanager
On Friday 24 July 2009 14:57:13 Axel wrote: So far, so good. But what about the other daemons that still seem to run after upgrade (Apache, Courier IMAP etc)? Are the new version running fine after the upgrade, or should I set AFTERINSTALL to do a restart of these daemons, to make sure they run the upgraded version? I don't know about Courier, but Apache is generally not affected by on-disk versions of libraries. The CGI programs however, are, since they're started up and shutdown with each request (or in the case of FCGI in X requests) - the Apache workers are spawned from the root process and use that process image. So there is no definite need to shut down Apache and disrupt service. If a running webserver is important to you, I also would not do this automatically. For example, jpeg could be upgraded before Apache and a module for Apache needing it, yet this module is depending on Apache and therefore not recompiled yet. As a result, this module tries to load a non-existing library and Apache restart will fail. -- Mel ___ 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

mount_smbfs + suspend = kernel panic
Hi guys, I use mount_smbfs on my notebook and I have a little nasty problem.. Sometimes I have kernel panic when resuming after the suspend. The issue seems to happen when I go to suspend with my USB network (WiFi) adapter plugged in (I do use /etc/rc.d/netif stop rum0 before going to suspend), then I resume the notebook without the adapter, then I suspend it again, and finally I resume it with the adapter plugged in. The system panics. Maybe there are any workarounds to avoid the problem.. Should I do umount all smbfs' before I go to suspend?.. Is there any other more elegant way? Here is the kernel buffer and the backtrace: kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0x18 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc081fa05 stack pointer = 0x28:0xe8cf2adc frame pointer = 0x28:0xe8cf2af8 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 37632 (smbiod4) trap number = 12 panic: page fault cpuid = 0 Uptime: 7d12h57m21s Physical memory: 2022 MB Dumping 275 MB: (CTRL-C to abort) (CTRL-C to abort) (CTRL-C to abort) 260 244 228 (CTRL-C to abort) (CTRL-C to abort) (CTRL-C to abort) 212 196 180 164 148 132 116 100 84 68 52 36 20 4 #0 doadump () at pcpu.h:196 #1 0xc07e8767 in boot (howto=260) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:418 #2 0xc07e8a39 in panic (fmt=Variable fmt is not available. ) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:574 #3 0xc0aecd3c in trap_fatal (frame=0xe8cf2a9c, eva=24) at /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/trap.c:939 #4 0xc0aed6bf in trap (frame=0xe8cf2a9c) at /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/trap.c:320 #5 0xc0ad207b in calltrap () at /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/exception.s:159 #6 0xc081fa05 in turnstile_broadcast (ts=0x0, queue=0) at /usr/src/sys/kern/subr_turnstile.c:836 #7 0xc07d93f2 in _mtx_unlock_sleep (m=0xc8d82d94, opts=0, file=0xc107c6c3 /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_iod.c, line=97) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_mutex.c:619 #8 0xc07d9752 in _mtx_unlock_flags (m=0xc8d82d94, opts=0, file=0xc107c6c3 /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_iod.c, line=97) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_mutex.c:210 #9 0xc106fb73 in smb_iod_invrq (iod=Variable iod is not available. ) at /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_iod.c:97 #10 0xc1070d57 in smb_iod_addrq (rqp=0xc8d82d00) at /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_iod.c:424 #11 0xc106d28c in smb_rq_enqueue (rqp=0xc8d82d00) at /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_rq.c:193 #12 0xc106d6d8 in smb_rq_simple (rqp=0xc8d82d00) at /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_rq.c:174 #13 0xc106b9e4 in smb_smb_treeconnect (ssp=0xc778d500, scred=0xc7a6e144) at /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_smb.c:561 #14 0xc10708b8 in smb_iod_thread (arg=0xc7a6e100) at /usr/src/sys/modules/smbfs/../../netsmb/smb_iod.c:212 #15 0xc07c2159 in fork_exit (callout=0xc10705c0 smb_iod_thread, arg=0xc7a6e100, frame=0xe8cf2d38) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c:810 #16 0xc0ad20f0 in fork_trampoline () at /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/exception.s:264 Best regards, EforeZZ ___ 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

That arbitrary number has worked very nicely for me for 20 years under Solaris, Linux, and several BSD variants.

M And MAXNAMLEN in sys/dirent.h is 255. That's the maximum length of a single filename in a directory. Since I keep my filenames much shorter, I don't have a problem. M Knowing your way around maximum arguments length through xargs as M suggested in this thread is much better solution then trying to exercise M control over directory sizes, which may or not be under your control in M the first place. Xargs is very useful, but it's not a substitute for poor design, and it's not something you can drop into any existing pipeline without a little thought first. If your application is trying to create hundreds of thousands or millions of files in any one directory, or you're creating lots of 200-character filenames from hell, then your design is a poor match for most varieties of Unix; small directories perform better than enormous ones, and lots of commonly-used scripts and programs will fall over when handed zillion-file argument lists.

Boris was correct in referencing /usr/ports/UPDATING for instructions on upgrading it. There are important steps there. Also the original post had an error that reflected the sysctl not being set correctly. Generally, sysctl.conf is only run at boot. If you're just getting starting in BSD, it is probably easier to just remember to reboot after changing files like /etc/sysctl.conf and /boot/loader.conf. It's more complicated than that and this introduces some unnecessary steps but it's a lot easier to remember for someone new to this enviroment. -- Adam Vande More I'm afraid that I am a little lost here. I have had a few problems configuring ports on previous installations, but I hagve always managed to ge them done. Usually, with a little help to find my own silly little mistakes like typos and just not paying attention. But up to now, I have never been able to install Flash on any previous distributions. Anyway, I now have flash installed... it does not work. I have also acroread9 installed... it does not want to work... it loads up, the panel comes up and last about 1-2 seconds and dies. That's nice. I went to the trouble to install it and it doesn't work. Any suggestions what to do, look for, or whatever befor I trash all this stuff and go back to MicroSlop.

UFS2 tuning for heterogeneous 4TB file system
Hi all, I've spent a few hours now reading on how to set newfs parameters for various environments (many small files, many large files, etc.). I must say that I still don't have a clear picture of the relationships between cylinders, blocks, fragments, and inodes. That's making things difficult for me in figuring out what to use in my situation. The file system in question will not have a common file size (which is what, as I understand, bytes per inode should be tuned for). There will be many small files ( 10 KB) and many large ones ( 500 MB). A similar, in terms of content, 2TB ntfs file system on another server has an average file size of about 26 MB with 59,246 files. Ideally, I would prefer that small files do not waste more than 4 KB of space, which is what you have with ntfs. At the same time, having fsck running for days after an unclean shutdown is also not a good option (I always disable background checking). From what I've gathered so far, the two requirements are at the opposite ends in terms of file system optimization. So the question is what would be the optimal newfs parameters in my situation? Please don't suggest using zfs. Right now I'm in the testing phase and need to get the best configuration for usf2. After that I will give zfs a try. OS is FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p2 amd64.

Before anything else, I'd appreciate it if my requirements were actually read before providing any feedback. I know that there are qualified persons here to legitimately answer my question, so if a flame war does ensue, I ask that you refrain from responding. I'm looking for a new editor. I continue to claim that I am not a programmer, but I'm getting to the point where my current editor can not do what I need it to do for the programming I have been doing (90% Perl, a bit of C and the rest is shell/awk stuff if you want to call that programming). Currently, I use ee. The ONLY reason I have outgrown it, is due to the fact that I can't find an easy way to change my \t to four chars instead of eight. Both editors/vim and editors/emacs can do what you describe and a *LOT* more. You should at least try them for a while and see which one of the two fits your style of work better. To get you started by a sneak preview of what they can do, here's a short example of how my .vimrc and .emacs files set options that apply only to C sources. First the ~/.vimrc options: .vimrc options that apply to all files set softtabstop=8 how much to indent when TAB is typed set tabstop=8 how many columns a literal TAB buffer byte indents set textwidth=0where do we wrap lines? vim options that apply only to C sources if !exists(format_keramida_cmode) let format_keramida_cmode = 1 formatting C code autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.c,*.h set autoindent showmatch autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.c,*.h set formatoptions=tcq2l textwidth=74 autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.c,*.h set shiftwidth=8 softtabstop=8 tabstop=8 noexpandtab endif When using VIM, you can get an indentation style of 4 columns that uses only spaces (no TABs at all) by setting `softtabstop=4' and `expandtabs'. Then the ~/.emacs options for GNU Emacs: (defun keramida/cc-mode/setup () Configure cc-mode and derivatives for KNF style. (interactive) ;; Basic indent is 8 columns (make-local-variable 'c-basic-offset) (setq c-basic-offset 8) ;; Continuation lines are indented 4 spaces (make-local-variable 'c-offsets-alist) (c-set-offset 'arglist-cont 4) (c-set-offset 'arglist-cont-nonempty 4) (c-set-offset 'statement-cont 4) ;; Fill column (make-local-variable 'fill-column) (setq fill-column 74) ;; Indenting to a tab stop always inserts TAB characters (setq indent-tabs-mode t) (setq c-tab-always-indent t)) ;; Install my own hook for C/C++ mode. (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'keramida/cc-mode/setup) When using Emacs, you can get an indentation style that uses 4 columns and only spaces by setting `indent-tabs-mode' to `nil' and then tweaking `c-basic-offset' to 4: (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) (setq c-basic-offset 4) There are _tons_ of other features in both editors. I lean towards Emacs, because I like the way it works, but you can do so many things with both editors that I have been using both for more than 16 years now. I like both of them :-) pgpu5yBCeQGwV.pgp Description: PGP signature
