Thank you very much for sharing the solution!

I've been having similar problems with olvwm recently
(apart from the fact that it doesn't work on amd64, but
that's a different story).  It keeps forgetting grabs
every now and then, forcing me to restart the session.

The description at the above URL sounds like it should
be applicable to my problem, too.  I'm going to rebuild
my X server with that patch ASAP.

I wish all of the recent xorg problems would be that
easy to fix (such as Ctrl-Alt-Fx not working anymore).

Best regards
   Oliver

Thanks.

Unfortunately, these cards fit just in supermicro motherboards, since
they have they are reversed/mirrored compared to normal PCIe cards.

Well it's just the bracket. You can unmount it and replace it with
another bracket. The card is up side down thats true but thats all.
Works in every pci-e 8 slot. You can order a replacement bracket for
couple of bucks.

Hi All,,

First I Apologize if this would be not the right forum to ask this
question.I have a Freebsd 6.4 running system with disk mirrored on a HP DL .
Now I am pulling one hard disk from the Server and putting in the first slot
of the Second Server.(Trying to build the exact replica) The  2nd servers
boots up perfectly fine but it get stuck @ "Trying to Mount root
/dev/" When I try to run it in single user mode. It gives me
a shell and when I run 'fsck' the keyboard just hangs and I have to hard
boot the system again. Any pointers what I may be doing wrong ?

Appreciate your help.

What "works" for me - doesn't crash, but sometimes can't handle
the content - is:

firefox-3.6.8 (or)
seamonkey-2.0.6
nspluginwrapper-1.2.2_7
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.1r82

installed per the Handbook.  A minor annoyance is the wrapper
doesn't exit cleanly and tends to leave hung jobs; not noticeable
resource sink, until you have 20+ of them

ports: customer database

Hello,

I'm looking for something which can be used as a small customer database
to store: name, contacts, system environment, comments; it should be
managed via browser; is the something in the ports or some other Open
Source, ready for FreeBSD (before building something by my own based on
GNATS, for example). Any ideas? Thanks

FYI, I bought one for my Supermicro X7SB3 motherboard and it didn't work.
I had to end up buying an Intel SASUC8I which is just an OEM LSI

Don't know why they do that. But be careful because HTX/HNC
(Hypertransport) connections are the same as PCIe but reversed
and incompatible, check it before plugin anything.

HTX is used to connect 2 motherboards via hypertransport (up to 51.2
GB/sec for now), connect expansion cards, etc...

hmm strange because I have one running right here with the MPT driver.
even mptutils works with it.
And if you google it then you will find couple of positive reactions.

The closest port I find is

# locate bwn-|grep ports|wc -l
   0

When I searched for firmware using make quicksearch key="firmware" I

Well I think most users will see what is a HTX slot and what is a
pci-e8 slot. And if you dont then check your motherboard manual.

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=bwn-firmware-kmod+&stype=all

You should have a directory under /usr/ports/net named bwn-firmware-kmod.
If you don't, then you need to update your ports skeleton.
You should also be able to just use a package, like:
pkg_fetch bwn-firmware-kmod

or with portupgrade -N bwn-firmware-kmod

I'm sorry, I read your post too quickly and missed where you clearly stated

You said:

I thought he doesn't know HTX slots exists and how are them, because
he said "since they have they are reversed/mirrored compared to normal
PCIe cards". He can shortcircuit/damage something if plugin a pcie
card, so i advise him.

But you are right, if in doubt read the manual.

I'm not familiar with portsnap, so I'll let someone else troublehoot that.
But I want to mention that the port was added to the tree six months ago...

I checked it out from CVS and installed the port. I'll test the wireless soon.

Unless there's some edge case that I'm not thinking of, adding a
backslash to escape a period will never convert a non-match into
a match.  An unescaped period in an RE matches any character,
including a period.  An escaped period matches only a period.

I have confirmed this.  I did add the backslash but procmail is still
not matching.


Adding the backslash _does_ better represent what the OP wants
to accomplish, but the lack of it is not the cause of the RE not
matching.  (I'm not sufficiently familiar with how procmail uses
REs to figure out what _is_ causing it not to match.)

True and thus I'll leave the backslash.  However I have no idea what
_is_ causing it not to match either. I'm stumped.

Chances are you're 'over-specifying' what you want.  take off the trailing
$, and maybe even the '>'

There's _something_ in the header that is not what you 'think' it is,
which is what is causing the problem.  the difficulty is -finding- what
that 'something' is.

 From whatever file procmail is dumping that message into, try using a
minimal text editor (something that is *NOT* language/charset aware,
delete everything _but_ that 'From: ' line, and then use that  as input
to 'od -xc' to see _exactly_ what's there.


Here is that output:

Try using mdconfig to attach these files as disk devices.  "mdconfig -a -t
vnode -f /tmp/zp/d1" and "-f /tmp/zp/d2" (you'll get two md# devices), then
see if the zpool import command is any happier.  It may be looking for disk
devices and not files.

No open source flash player works on all sites, as far as I know.

If you don't mind non-free software and all the extra linux compat stuff that
it needs, try the linux version of the Adobe flash plugin;
www/linux-f10-flashplugin10

Try graphics/gnash instead if you want native software. Mind that there
is a problem with the 0.8.7 version of gnash and youtube. This is fixed in
0.8.8 but that hasn't made it into ports yet. Gnash sometimes crashes, but
this doesn't usualy affect firefox.

As I recall, I had to add this line to loader.conf because it wouldn't 
autoload it:
if_bwn_load="YES"  # Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11 wireless NICs

This seemed to work. I was able to export the pool and reimport it
without a problem. I'll use this for testing, however, correct me if I'm
wrong, but this should still work without attaching it as a disk device,
correct?

Prior to testing this, I tried using the the files again without
mounting and I received the error stating that it was missing one of the
files. It clearly identified disk1.dd as present, but was unable to find
disk2.dd.

Burning a the 8.1 release DVD iso

[Patrick Mahan]

I am wanting to burn the 8.1 DVD iso image onto a DVD-R disc.  Previously,
I did this on my Macbook Pro using OSX, but alas, my HD died on the Macbook
so I am trying to do this on my Sony Vaio desktop system.

Platform:

   Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.80 GHz w/512 MB memory
   HD: IBM DTLA-307075 (74 G)
   DVD writer: SONY DVD RW DW-U12A/2.0d

OS:

FreeBSD mycroft.adaranet.com 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009 
r...@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386


I have the following modules loaded:

 41 0xc3b3d000 14000drm.ko
 51 0xc59dd000 4000 atapicam.ko

The 'camcontrol devlist' command reports:

  at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass0,cd0)


I have built and installed dvd+rw-tools 7.1 along with cdrtools-2.01.

If I try to use 'growisofs' :

mycroft# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd1=FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
:-( /dev/cd1: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

So then I try to use 'cdrecord' and get the following:

However, I went to the ftp ftp.berlios.de and there I find a message that

So obviously I am missing something.  The handbook is not quite clear on this 
issue.  And my googling has
only located the issues regarding needing to load atapicam.ko module.

Any help or educational experience is appreciated.

I'm about to put up 8.1.

And would like (I know I'm dreaming,) to get this right, first time.  Many
times I've had to scrap an installation and restart from scratch because I

Nothing wrong with your growisofs line. That's what I use all the time
to write DVD isos, including FreeBSD install media.
It seems the drive is unable to recognize the media as a recordable one
(look at the cdrecord message: incompatible medium found and growisofs:
media not recognized as recordable dvd). Could you try with a different
brand/type disk?
Try both DVD+R and DVD-R. I've had this before: specific drives refusing
to work with specific media.

I'm sorry. I cut the wrong line from loader.conf. It should have been to load 
firmware. I know you've gotten past it, but I wanted to set the record 
straight, in case anyone needs help...
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"# Broadcom BCM43XX firmware

*sigh*  not on FreeBSD as well :-(

I have run across this writing DVD's using Fedora Cora and Ubuntu.  Especially,
when the drive is a DVD+/-RW drive.  I've had it writing with -R and come back
the next day and it would only take +R.  Should have guessed since these are
basically the same tools I have tried to use under linux.

This was one of the reasons I used my Mac.

I've gone and gotten some DVD+R and it seems to be doing something (lights are
flashing and growisofs is outputing a lot of info.

Thanks,

Patrick

The biggest problem with firefox is that FreeBSD does not have a
compatible (current) version of Java available for it. If you don't need
Java, all is well and good; otherwise, you are screwed.

how to tell "ls" output date in digital

[Guojun Jin]

I remember that "ls" can output date in digital like following format
before

 

-rw-r--r--  1 user  Domain Users54323 2010-09-08 14:12 crash.log

 

Instead of   Sep 08 2010 or   Sep 08 11:07

 

But I cannot find any option or ENV to do this under FreeBSD (6.X-R).

Does anyone have knowledge about this possibility?

I suspect that's a GNU extention to their version of ls.  Try installing 
/usr/ports/sysutils/coreutils and see whether /usr/local/bin/ls supports 
this

Add -D option to specify exact format of date and time output with ls -l.



I just noticed your using 6.x. I'm not sure what revision 6.x was but
maybe it is too old to have this option?

6.4-R seems been released after that date. Maybe not.
Just checked, ls in 8.1-R has "-D" option. Now moving forward.

Any way to force AHCI mode on ICH8?

[Morgan Wesström]

I run FreeBSD 8.1 on an old Asus P5B-VM motherboard with ICH8. Its AMI
BIOS lacks an option to enable AHCI mode. Intel's datasheet for the ICH8
family specifies that this feature exists on the ICH8, and the option is
available in the BIOS for the identical (apart from form factor) P5B
motherboard.

http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/313056.pdf

I've contacted Asus support for an updated BIOS but I don't have much
hope I will ever see one. Would it be possible to patch the FreeBSD
kernel to enable AHCI mode somehow during boot?

Morgan
