Re: openvpn and tap device
I had to use tap0 instead of tun0 to get a connexion. I first create it with ifconfig tap0 create and then make the connexion with openvpn --config your-config-file.ovpn --dev tap0.

Is there any comparable one for FreeBSD and comparable with KDE? no idea. If you want it with already installed system, try to compile linux software. Anyway i see no reason for such a software, click-click solutions are always inefficient relative to normal text based ones, and partitioning is not a job that end user (who want click-click interfaces at all cost) is supposed to do What happened to the idea of having a choice ? If you want to keep living in the 80's with a text based menu, go ahead, I prefer a click solution. And I see no reason why a click solution is always inefficient.

vpn speed loss
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE (pc-bsd 9.0 actuallly) on amd64 and I'm using a vpn connexion. My problem is the enormous speed loss i'm having when I'm using the vpn connexion. I have tried Openvpn and mpd5 (with a pptp and l2pt connexion) and the max speed (according to various speedtests) is 5 to 6MB. Without the vpn I'm having 45-50 MB... My vpn service has servers in several European countries and US, Canada, etc. The speed stays the same. So I don't think it is a specific bsd problem but the lines/connexion between ISP's. Is this the normal speed when using a vpn (independently of the used program to connect) ? Because from 45-50 back to 5-6 is a big step backward... Thanks for any insights here.

God willing, the majority of effort in regards to FreeBSD will be spent where it always has. FreeBSD is not Linux. There are those who are working toward making a GUI easier-to-implement, but afaik, that is not (and hope not) the design goal. Instead of Desktop features to appeal to people, what FreeBSD really needs is people who are willing to take the time to drop the GUI for a few weeks, and gain a bit of exposure and enlightenment.

You value an operating system by how the installer LOOKS like? I'm sure you're kidding. :-) Honestly: People can't be that stupid. Oh wait... okay, I didn't say anything. :-) The point is - what I would have better said instead of the previous two paragraphs - a text mode installer LOOKS more serious. Serious biznis, you know? Servers, and workstations, and operating system. For work to be done. Lots of work. Ask people who work as admins, who keep mailservers running, webservers, application servers. Do they choose the OS by the amount of eye candy in the INSTALLER? I'm sure they don't. I'm not a sysadmin, indeed. But it should surprise me a lot if a admin who has to, as you say yourself, keep every server running, need to (re)install a lot of servers on a regular basis. Then there is something seriously wrong. It was my believe that a server needs to be kept running, not being reinstalled twice a week (with or without a GUI installer). And so a desktop user has to do it with the prehistoric sysinstall... And I don't value an OS by its installer, but as a desktop user I think I have already done a bit of (re)installations, be it debian, ubuntu, suse, or Micros~1 in different flavors. And before anyone says do it yourself, get a sponsor or something down those lines : if it is all about choice, why not give the people/user the choice ? Now I don't have any choice : sysinstall or pc-bsd... Or DesktopBSD. :-) I'm for both : text and graphical :-) As I explained in an earlier post: If the GUI installer is (a) not the only way, (b) not an auto-default, (c) does work well enough even on older hardware and (d) doesn't make things more complicated, I wouldn't have any problem with it, I would even use it! Nice to hear it :-) Me too ! But please note that many users of FreeBSD are scared by the way other GUI driven installers work. Much time is needed to do an installation, and there's more emphasize put on how things look instead of how they work. So I can understand everyone who says: When FreeBSD gets a crappy installerjust like 'Windows' and some Linusi, then I would look around for another OS that fits my needs. A pc-bsd is installed in what, 5 or 6 clics (if it is that much). Same for windows or ubuntu. Text based installation takes more time i think. Finetuning and installing programs afterwards takes more time, but that is the same for all those OS'es, no ?

Shure, it looks nice, easy, modern and more accessable (examples: Mac OS X, Vista), but on the other hand, for me FreeBSD never was intended to be fancy, but to be functional.

And as to now, I don't have any choice : there is no fancy, easy, nice, modern and accessable installer. The text mode installer: - works on every PC, every graphics card, every screen, with serial console, with ssh, with screenreader - is easy enough for people who are able to use it after the installation - doesn't need a mouse to be usable So why don't use a text mode for server and a GUI for desktop ? FreeBSD isn't Linux/OSX/Windows, FreeBSD is not for users who want eyecandy, FreeBSD is for professinals who want perfectly working systems, who know how to edit .conf-files, which packages the need and so on. (at least I think so) Oh so all those desktopusers with Gnome/KDE/... will gladly hear this ! As a desktopuser I can't be a professional who wants a perfectly working system ? Thanks. IMHO, the biggest problem with graphical installers is that they just don't work for everyone. For example, my last attempts to install Ubuntu Linux stopped when the installer didn't work with my graphics card or just choosed a mode my TFT didn't support. This was such a bad experience, I didn't wanted to try it anymore. Well, my first install of windows/debian/freebsd/... didn't work out as it was supposed to be either. So ?

kernel options for ipv6 firewall
Hi, I'm trying to reconfigure and recompile my kernel to use a ipv6 firewall. So far I added this to the kernel (from http://techie.devnull.cz/ipv6/ipfw2- ipv6-dummynet/) : # IPFW2 options IPFW2 options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD #enable transparent proxy support options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100#limit verbosity options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT#allow everything by default and I tried this also (from http://www.kame.net/~suz/freebsd-ipv6-config- guide.txt) : options IPV6FIREWALL #options IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE #options IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 #options IPV6FIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT But all I get is an unknown option error when I do a make buildkernel. I've added also this to my /etc/rc.conf : #IPv6 gateway6_enable=YES ipv6_enable=YES #ipv6_gateway_enable=YES #ipv6_router_enable=YES ipv6_network_interfaces=vr0 tun0 # Enable ip6fw. ipv6_firewall_enable=YES ipv6_firewall_type=client # ipv6_firewall_quiet=NO ipv6_firewall_quiet=YES # suppress rule display.

Google is your friend here.) http://wiki.go6.net/index.php?title=IPv6_transition_mechanisms Most applications that are IPv6 aware will default to using IPv6 if everything is setup properly. This includes giving an IPv6 capable DNS name to your IRC client. (ipv6.chat.us.freenode.net and ipv6.chat.eu.freenode.net are a few that are IPv6) I'm not much of an IRC user myself, but I see that several of the ports of xchat are IPv6 enabled. You did not specify what version of Xchat you are using, so I can't comment further there. Make sure you are using a version of xchat that supports IPv6, and that you are using the appropriate IPv6 freenode DNS name. You can also find a listing of IPv6 capable application ports over on http://www.freshports.org/ipv6/ And that is not a ipv6 address. So what am I missing here ? Is it my config or is my isp converting my ipv6 back to ipv4 ? It is your config. An ISP can not really automagically change you from IPv6 to IPv4 when you have a tunnel active. You do not provide an ifconfig for your tunnel interface (tun0), so it is hard to tell what your configuration looks like. Can you ping6 the site in question ? (ie: ping6 ipv6.chat.us.freenode.net) Thanks for any hints on this. -- Beni. It seems that I was, indeed using the wrong server to connect me to : the normal IPv6 instead of the ipv6-servers (the ping6 works). So now all seems ok.

to be used because it does not terminate on its own as i see.

Thoumie: could you add a warning to the UPDATING entry? Thanks for reminding me, will do in a second. You have to make sure the Composite extension is disabled and start Xorg with startx -- -ignoreABI. Having finally taken a minute to think about it, I'm fairly sure that putting that option into the command line in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers will have the same effect, for xdm. However, I won't have a chance to produce a full (tested) recipe until tomorrow (perhaps tonight). For some reason xdm is using /usr/local/share/examples/xdm/Xservers instead of /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. From some other messages on the FreeBSD lists, this seems to be a known problem; but so far I can't see why it's happening to fix it.

Guys,
A couple years ago I got a hold of Ubuntu and until recent months
thought it was the best thing since [[ fill-in ]].
Long-story-shot, I am wedged at 6.06 (a Long Term Support)
version, and because the *next* LTS isn't due until 2009
and *mostly* because the Linux filesystem __ate__ several
files (at least one binary; plus several gifs/jpgs/whatever),
I'm thinking of switching back. Our 6.2-RELEASE really is the
best release I've seen, so I may just buy 6.3 or 7.1 or
whatever. The other option is to buy or download the pee-cee
version (1.4 or later) of BSD. I want something with audio and
video apps that JustWork{tm}; something that's mostly for fun.
Altho, as noted above, my installation of 6.2 comes pretty
close. Has anybody on this list used the PC version of BSD?
What about a desktop-BSD??
suggestion? advice?
gary
If you want to stick with ubuntu, try Ubuntu Studio
(http://www.ubuntustudio.org) or have a look at the article about it at
http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntustudio7.04.
I'm using DesktopBSD (http://www.desktopbsd.net/) for the moment (due to
serious Xorg upgrade problems...). Theire lastest version 1.6RC3 comes with
Xorg 7.2 pre-installed, so thats already a headache less ;-) As for the rest,
it is a 6.2-Stable.
They have a great Package Manager who takes care of all dependencies and other
stuff. Which means that you can use the ports (or packages) as usualy.
I like it so far :-)

Using a Hercules HWGUSB2-54-V2 wifi usb adapter
Hi, System : 6.2-REL p4. I'm trying to use this usb wifi adapter. It is based on a Ralink RT2500 chipset and should thus be useable with the ural-device according to man ural (actually it speaks of the Hercules HWGUSB2-54, without the V2). The problem is that I only get a detection in dmesg like this : ugen0: Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3 and that I don't get a ural0 device. All the devices needed according to man ural are in the kernel too. How can I get this wifi adapter working ?

Try adding a macro for the correct device ID to
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. In this file it is listed as GUILLEMOT
instead of Hercules, though.
You should be able to see the device-id with 'usbdevs -v'. You're
looking for the first hexadecimal number (preceded by 0x). The second
one is the vendor, and should be 0x06F8.
Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs:
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254 0xe000 HWGUSB2-54 WLAN
Then add
product GUILLEMOT HWGUSB254V2 0x HWGUSB2-54-V2 WLAN
Replace the by the correct device ID. :-)
Add it to the usb_devno ural_devs array in
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c, and rebuild your kernel.
Look for this in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254 },
Then add
{ USB_VENDOR_GUILLEMOT, USB_PRODUCT_GUILLEMOT_HWGUSB254V2
},
Rebuild and install your kernel, reboot and try again.

Your explanation worked, thanks !

in FreeBSD that are critical things that will stop an installation cold. Such as lack of device support for some new piece of hardware. These things are much higher on the priority list than replacing sysinstall, a working program. Ted Ok, but why not have the two ? Keep sysinstall text-based and have the possibility to have a (more) graphical install ? Desktopbsd and PC-bsd seem to manage it not so badly.

You could try the following. First make sure you have a completely up to date ports tree. pkgdb -Fv See if that reports and problems and hopefully fixes them. Next run: portmanager -u -l -y That should correct the remaining problems.. Check the log file created: /var/log/portmanager.log to see if there are any errors reported. Plus, when portmanager terminates, it will show what, if any, programs it could not handle. Thanks Gerard for the help. A portmanager -u -l -y updated something completely else (php5) but didn't show any other errors in the log : portmanager 0.4.1_7 INFO: all ports are up to date All should be fixed now. Got a hint from Boris Samodorov too : # pkg_delete linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_7 Didn't know that pkg_delete worked for ports, thought it was just for packages. Had to deinstall linux-sun-jdk14 first, but the reinstall used already the new linux-xorg-libs. So all is back on track now. Thanks for the help !

finding out what devices got an ip from the dhcp ?
Hi all, Is there an easy and fast way to find out what computers got an ip from the dhcp daemon running on my Linksys WAG54G ?

You should set Print command in printer properties of
PostScript/default to /usr/local/bin/lp with arguments you
need.
Thanks for the reply, Andrew - but isn't that the command to use when
printing? the cmd shown is :
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
I changed this to kprinter --stdin and now I get the standard

Maybe it is not the easyest way but it works, I can print from whithin

I'd probably start by getting rid of the -rR from your portupgrade
command as (unless I'm misreading the man page) that will try to
upgrade all the ports that tcl depends on, plus all the ports that
depend on it.
Just running portupgrade tcl should be all you need to do. Whether
or not it will fix the problem you're describing I'm not sure but give
it a try.
I'm running a portupgrade tcl right now (without the -rR options) but I get
the same output back :

So removing the recursive/upward-recursive options doesn't seem to be doing

without any problems.

Re: Not an easy install
Why couldn't you guys make a install easy instead of this and that, ok I am a newbie and it should be easy, I have installed Ubuntu, it was like a dream, smooth as silk, Fedora pretty much the same FreeBSD, its a nitemare if you have never done it, I am now reloading windows and then putting back Ubuntu, unless someone over there can make it simple even for me. Tim Stevens It won't happen. The standard answer you will get here is we don't care about fancy installers, as long as it's working great or if you want it, do it yourself. But I suggest that you take a look at pc-bsd (http://www.pcbsd.org/). It is bsd with a nice and easy installer and a good system for installing programs. Hope this helps, Beni. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But to answer your question, this is written via webmail, so any issues your reader has, please contact my provider (dommel.be) so that he can change this webmail program. The error message is wrong. Actually it's correct, just a bit unclear. UPDATING includes the complete procedure you should always follow when building world. It includes a 'mergemaster -p' step, precisely for the purpose of adding new users and groups when they appear. There is a new group in '/etc/group' called 'audit:*:77:'. I recommend you don't automate mergemaster operations, and rerun the whole procedure manually. Yes, this script is just asking for trouble. Still, I bet you'll stop using it after the first time it destroys your FreeBSD installation :-) Until now this script did exactly what is was supposed to do, so I don't see why I should stop now. I didn't re-cvsup after doing the 'rm -rf /usr/obj/*', but did a manually 'make -j4 make buildworld' which ended without problems or errors. I don't mergemaster. You need to. If you insist on not doing so, any problems that result are your own concern. So why didn't the maintainers/programmers add an entry to UPDATING ? That's why the file is for, no ? To explain any changes made and to prevent destroying your fbsd installation I thought... If I manually add the group 'audit' the problem should be fixed ? Is this a new group or is it needed for some program ? It's needed by parts of FreeBSD, which is why it's there. Then it's very recently added, cause I used the same script last week without any problems. But your suggestion to 'mergemaster -p' added the new group and the 'make installworld' completed without any further problems. Thanks.

The disc2 CD-ROM (or ISO image) was a bootable fix it disk with a live filesystem, to be used for making emergency repairs. This layout has now changed. For all architectures except ia64, the disc1 image now contains the base system distribution files, ports tree, and the live filesystem, making it suitable for both an initial installation and repair purposes. (On the ia64, the live filesystem is on a separate disk due to its size.) Packages appear on separate disks; in particular, the disc2 image contains commonly packages such as desktop environments.

Please, do not post with empty subject line.
Google on this: BBB reset failed, see the solutions,
try them, report here in case of trouble.
Of course that is what I did...
The solution most found is to modify /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c with adding
something like this :
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, GENERIC, USB DISK DEVICE,
*}, /*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
},
{
/*
* Time DPA20B 1GB MP3 Player
* PR: usb/81846
*/
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, USB2.0*, (FS) FLASH DISK*,
*}, /*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
},
The only thing is, that code is allready in my 6.1-PRERELEASE code, so no need
to add it again. I was hoping a Generic usb device should do the trick.
Another solution was to add device udbp# USB Double
Bulk Pipe devices to
the kernel. Which is by default commented out in the Generic kernel. I
decommented and rebuild my kernel. Still no luck...
But I admit that I didn't check and test all 2.430 results that Google found. I
hoped to get a better answer here.
