Re: Gnucash slow startup on FreeBSD 7.1

2009-02-01 Thread Sérgio de Almeida Lenzi

Here I notice that the problem is in glib2
gnucach, and evolution makes a dlopen with a wrong
option in BSD, so it scans all the machine for shared libraries...
and it takes a lot of cpu and a lot of time


a fix in glib makes the trick... (it is an ugly fix, but works...)
the fix at http://patches.k1.com.br/glib20-patch-x1 
and insert code for gnucash and apply it to glib code
(/usr/ports/deve/glib20)
reinstall glib, and see if works.

Hope it helps

Sergio

Re: wireless scan: 'ifconfig iface scan' hangs often

 I use wireless with this device:
 ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xcffe-0xcffe irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci0
 and very often (most of the times) 'ifconfig ath0 scan' hangs.
 
 First time I do scan it usually succeeds but the second and subsequent 
 runs of
 this command hang in 50+% of cases.
 
 It hangs equally when I am trying to run this command when network is 
 associated and running and down.
 
 Is this a bug in driver or what the problem might be?

Hello Yuri

try using ifconfig ath0 list scan

it will list the contents of the cache in the sip and never hangs

As long as I understand, the chip updates the cache by its self..
so there is no need to deal with the worry about the chip...

see options bgscan of ifconfig


Hope this will help

Re: Any help about FreeBSD Dell's Troubleshooting Tool DSET

2008-11-12 Thread Sérgio de Almeida Lenzi
Hello

I have used the PERC on dells 2900  2950

they are trick pieces of hardware
and can easyly wipe out the contents of your
disk drive on the CTRL-R screen (setup screen).

the best configuration I used is to use RAID-0 (no raid)
on the controller and g mirror on the FreeBSD (that is I use
the mirror in software) mainly because the Freebsd kernel
is, in this manner, can detect problems with the drivers
and so, can act on it
so
1) attach a new drive on your controller (this drive will be erased...)
2) put the drive in another VD (on the control-r screen)
3) attach the drive... 
4) format it in the running freebsd
5) put your data on the drive (using tar)
6) shutdown the computer, save the drive
7) mount the other drivers using raid-0  
8) re-install freebsd using g-mirror (see freebsd documentation...)
9) remount the saved drive on the controller now using the Foreing
option
10) boot freebsd, mount the drive restore the sistem and be happy

Hope that it can help
