What happens when you run this (from a text-mode terminal)?

I'm sure I have my notes from that episode somewhere; post back if nothing else works and I'll try to dig them up, or at least share my working xorg.conf. YMMV.

2 questions partitions + dmesg
Hey guys 2 questions here... the first one has to do with paritioning.. Im running an a8n SLI deluxe mother board useing the Nvidia RAID controller In the BSD installer it shows up as ad4 ad6 and ar0 -- ar0 being the raid arrary.. Now I would like to dual boot windows and BSD, and this is where my problem lies.. When I install windows I create a few paritions, and by default windows creates the primary C parition and then following that come logical paritions... So by the time im done paritioning windows I have the following: The raid arrary is a total of 150 gigs C: -- 6.5 gigs - Windows-XP D: -- 4 Gigs - Windows SWAP (Vitural memory) E: -- 1gig - Logs or temp files. F -- 15 gigs Programs G: -- Games So C is the parimary and D, E , F and G are logical. When I boot up the BSD installer I am unable to create a slice on the unused space becuase it lies on a logical pairiton, and BSD needs a primary. I do not know how to create 2 pimary paritions one for BSD and one for windows, and within the windows partition create my logical paritions... I believe the fdisk programs will not allow me to do this? Did I explain that decently? Question 2: I wanted to try out the AMD64 version of BSD, I currently run the i386 version when i run dmesg in the i386 version it says my proc is an AMD 64 Processor 3200+ I686 CPU When i run dmesg in the amd64 version it says its an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200 K8-Class CPU Why is there a differnce and what do i put in my kernel as a CPU type? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

this will give you a file with the date then the pings sorted from quickest to

(You will probably want to increase the count, but I would also add a delay,

VNC + SSH question..
Hey guys had a SSH forward question so here goes... I have 2 computers on my lan one of them is a server and the other is my desktop. Desktop 192.168.1.104 Server 192.168.1.103 Now I have port forwarding setup on my crappy linksys router so 22 is pointing to my Server (192.168.1.103) My question is this... I would like to tightVNC to my Desktop (192.168.1.104) forwarding it through SSH. Now from what I understand If my router was pointing to my desktop this would not be a problem at all. All I would have to do is SSH to my IP while forwarding 22 to 5900. However I cant do it this way since 22 is pointing to my server. So I figured I would ssh into my server and issue a command such as ssh 192.168.1.103 -L22:192.168.1.104:5900 however once im in and I run vncview it obivoiusly can be displayed becuase Im not running X on the server. Am I way off here? Is there a way to do this? Will I need to forward 22 on my router to the desktop as well as server? Is there a way to connect to my server thats not running X and some how vnc into my desktop? On the remote machines I'd be useing PuTTY for windows and SSH on Linux box's.

To use bsd-ls on a bsd-system make alot more sense than to use gnu-ls, since gnu-ls doesn't know about certain things about the UFS filesystem. Ie. it won't recognize the -o option. I set these eniromnet variable in login.conf: CLICOLOR=YES LSCOLORS=ExGxFxdxCxDxDxaccxaeex The first make bsd-ls output in colors, and the other makes bsd-ls output about the same colors that gnu-ls does. > Im useing the emu10k1 driver and have sound comming out of all my > speakers (includeing the sub) is there a way to adjust each channel? > Maybe some sort of advanced mixer?? mixer(8) will do that. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Few simple questions..
QUESTION 1 Hey guys I use gnuls for colorizing my outputs such as ls..ect.. its really just an alias. When i added the alias to my /etc/profile I noticed that under X my terminals were not colorized but if i were to LOGIN to another TTY without X, it would be colorized. Now i know that /etc/profile is only read if your logging in with bash... so what i did was create a .bashrc with my alias in my home directory and it worked fine within X. My question is this for users that login with gdm/kdm ect...and start X how can i set colorized outputs for them without creating a .bashrc file in each home directory. Is there a global bashrc file that can be read for people that dont login? ugh i know this sounds confuseing but i dont know any other way to explain it? maybe this can explain it... When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. So if it doesnt read /etc how can I set global colors (for all users) for a interactive shell that isnt a login shell? Without creating ~/.bashrc's in each home directory. QUESTION:::2 Im useing the emu10k1 driver and have sound comming out of all my speakers (includeing the sub) is there a way to adjust each channel? Maybe some sort of advanced mixer?? QUESTION:::3 I recently installed something called feedparaser its a news feed parser that works with some desklets. I installed it by issueing this command: python setup.py install...

And was just showing my 2 Hard Drives (ad4 and ad6) I decided to go ahead and install anyway and setting the boot mgr on BOTH drives. (Just like the hand book says) Well I rebooted, and the boot manager loads. Windows boots just fine, but BSD on the other hand does not. I get a NOT UFS no /kernel Error. Now it seems to me that it cant find the mount points or the kernel on the disk. I think this is caused by a non dectected raid controller. My next step was to disable the Silicon Image 1334 Raid controller and try useing the Nvidia one. I repeated the SAME steps as above and recieved the same error messages. My next thought was maybe 5.4 did not support either of my raid controllers. So I decided to search the web.. turns out some people got it working, most didnt (Go figure the ones that did get it working did not say how). So I did the only thing I could do and try out FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT. I started again with my Silicon 1334 Raid controller. Again I had no success and FreeBSD did NOT detect my controller. So I had the same resalts. (Not UFS, no /kernel) So this time, as you could guess I tryed the Nvidia controller. This time however, upon booting the install I noticed that FreeBSD did in fact detect my nvidia controller! During the FDISK install step I now had (ad4, ad6 AND ar0). So I went ahead and installed the packages I wanted and had thought I found a solution to my problem! Well it turns out that 6.0 does not come with the ports tree OR Xorg. So now im confused - I do not know how to proceed from here. I also was wondering if there was a way to load the driver for my Nvidia raid controller on my 5.4 installation. So my question comes down to this: How can I get this working with 5.4 (prehaps by loading a driver?) and if I cant, how can I get 6.0 up and running with everything I need. Also can anyone confirm that these raid controllers ARE or ARE NOT supported. Thanks for reading - and if anyone has ANY suggestions PLEASE respond. Ive already poured my heart out at bsdforums.org haha. -Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Hi Quick question
Is there a command to browse files by pages? When ever I ls in a big dir, I can't shift page up for some reason. This is very annoying =( ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Need some help =(
Hi! I am pretty new to FreeBSD, however, I do really enjoy useing it, its a GREAT server platform. Anyway, on to my question. I for the life of me can't figure out how to update my system. Everything I read REALLY confuses me. I was hopeing it would be something as simple as emerge world or system like in Gentoo Linux. Anyway, If you could give me a step by step newbie install guide, that would help VERY much!
