Hi, > I am new to the Free BSD and i have a question on how to install a > packet.What i have to type to download a python editor?I cant find the right > packet name.Thank you very much. there are mainly two ways to install packages - via ports (i.e. you compile it yourself) or via pkg_add. The first is usually the preferred way, but you need to have the ports-collection installed. You can read about the packages system in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html Regards, Julian signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hello George, If you mean 'packages' then start reading here : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html You'll want to look at chapter 4.4 specifically. I prefer ports as you can customise the creation of the program to include or omit certain capabilities. I'm not sure which editor you need but here's a page that lists a few : http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors As far as I know 'packets' are created using TCP/IP which is very basically how data is transferred across a computer network.

There are thousands of packages available. pkg_add -r idle should get you the python interactive development tool. (Note they are called packages, not packets.

9650SE-2LP raid card locks system
Hi All, We have been seeing a problem with FreeBSD 7.3 and up where the system will just hang when using a 9650SE-2LP raid card and 2 500G drives mirrored. The system will run for about a week and then the filesystem just hangs, causing the system to hang. We've looked through the logs and found nothing at all. We have changed the card and then the motherboard but the problem still exists. We have run this card with CentOS without fail in the same system configuration. If the card is not supported, can anyone recommend one that does work?

use can't open tap
You know St. Peter won't call my name, freebsd-questions!
Recently I upgraded the base system (7.3-stable to 7.4-prerelease) and my qemu
can not open tap device after that:
===
# ifconfig tap4 create
# chmod o+rw /dev/tap4
# ls -l /dev/tap4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root qemu0, 249 Jan 3 18:59 /dev/tap4
# :> /dev/tap4
# su - user
$ id
uid=X(user) gid=X(user) groups=X(user), ,(qemu)
$ :> /dev/tap4
-su: /dev/tap4: Operation not permitted
===
Is anything wrong here with the system?
qemu is traced like this
===
3580 qemu STRU struct stat {dev=117505792, ino=234, mode=crw--w ,
nlink=1, uid=10010, gid=4, rdev=234, atime=1294095695, stime=1294095695,

3580 qemu RET sigaction 0
3580 qemu CALL setitimer(0,0xbfbfe494,0)
3580 qemu RET setitimer 0

3580 qemu GIO fd 2 wrote 90 bytes
"warning: could not open /dev/tap4 (Operation not permitted): no virtual

===
and qemu runs well as a root user. sysctl looks like this:
===

The -R flag in portupgrade rebuilds the ports on which the named port depends -R --upward-recursive Act on all those packages required by the given packages as well. (When specified with -F, fetch recursively, including the brand new, uninstalled ports that an upgraded port requires) I don't see any equivalent functionality for portmaster, sadly. Example scenario: firefox is failing to start & keeps throwing weird gtk errors, even after rebuilding gtk & firefox. So you issue "portupgrade -Rf firefox\*".

That may be so for you, but nothing less then FreeBSD8.1 or a Gentoo LiveCD has touched this drive. Gentoo only yo prove to myself that a sucessful ext4 filesystem could be created.

This is actually something I fear in reinstalling my other FreeBSD system, which is currently 7.3, which has been upgraded successfully from 6.1. But ports has gotten out of hand and I'm rather tired of trying to fix each port, one at a time when there are prolly hundreds currently installed. > Exact copy of error from my notes here: > "Unable to find device node for /dev/ad4s1b in /dev!

A little while back I wrote a perl script to randomly pick mp3,
ogg, flac files from any directory specified as arg 1 and play them
using mplayer.
I categorize my genres by directory and with this perl script I can
randomly play songs from any directory.
If the script is invoked without any arguments, then it will play songs
from the default hard-coded directory defined by $SONG_DIR.
Don't know if this would be useful to you (or someone else).
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $SONG_DIR = "/home/joji/songs/good";
if ($#ARGV == 0)
{
$SONG_DIR = $ARGV[0];
}
my %played = ();
my $rand;
my $dh;
my @song_list;
opendir($dh, $SONG_DIR);
@song_list = readdir($dh);
closedir($dh);
my $count = $#song_list;
# Perl counts from zero. If there is one item, Perl will say 0.
# So to get the real count, we have to increment by 1.
$count++;
chdir($SONG_DIR);
while ((keys %played) < $count)
{
while (1)
{
$rand = int(rand($count));
if (! $played{$rand})
{
$played{$rand} = 1;
last;
}
if ((keys %played) >= $count)
{
last;
}
}
if ($song_list[$rand] eq "." || $song_list[$rand] eq "..")
{
;
}
else
{
print "Playing song # " . $rand . " [" . $song_list[$rand] . "]\n";
`mplayer \"$song_list[$rand]\"`;
}
}
exit(0);
