can burn cd's, can't read once burnt

2006-10-18 Thread Timothy Smith
i have an odd issue with 6.0 that i've been trying to solve for ages and 
nobody seems to know how to answer.


1. i can mount any cd's or dvd's THAT I DIDN'T BURN. makes no difference 
what media is used.


2. i burn a dvd like so

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=bailes.iso

outputs some info like this...

1608941568/1616412672 (99.5%) @3.9x, remaining 0:03 RBU 22.3%
builtin_dd: 789264*2KB out @ average 1.4x1385KBps
/dev/pass0: flushing cache
:-[ SYNCHRONOUS FLUSH CACHE failed with SK=3h/ASC=A0h/ACQ=80h]: 
Input/output error


and i find i have a dvd i can't mount on my machine, but under say 
windows i CAN mount it. the same thing applies to cdr's, although i 
don't get any error messages.


so i know my drive works, but it appears freebsd does not. as you can 
see by my dmesg below i have  cam loaded and working, i've also tried 
turning off dma in loader.conf with no success.

Not sure, but it's either UDF or ISO9660 format, and if you
don't have the correct support built into your kernel or if you don't
have the right fs mentioned in fstab, the kernel/mount will refuse to
mount the DVD since it doesn't know how to interpret the contents. Try
either mounting with -t udf or -t auto and see if you can mount the disk.
Also, if the DVD is an audio DVD, you can't mount it; just use a
program like xMMs to play it directly by setting up the CDROM plugin
properly.. You need to be a part of the operator group, or set the
permissions for the drive properly in order to mount it.

I do think that ps2 mouses aren't always hot-pluggable, but
I'm uncertain.  xorg 6.9 and moused -z 4 don't seem to play
nicely, I had to take the -z 4 flag out for scroll wheel to work
again.
I also discovered that some cheap KVMs (belkin omni cube) throw
up a lot of random noise when you switch ports, and mouses
can do odd and not fun things when you reconnect (up to and
inclusing freezing X and panicking the system).

If yours isn't related to that maybe it's just your momma
board not likin' the hot swappin' and is tryin' to tell you to
quit it.

problems burning multi session dvd-rw

2005-07-27 Thread Timothy Smith
i'm having some troubles burning a multi session dvd-rw. i blanked te 
dvd to make sure it was in sequential mode


%dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0a -blank
* DVD\uRW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
* blanking 100.0|

i then burnt some files to it with

%growisofs -Z /dev/cd0a -r -J -speed=4 /home/timothy/burning/*

this burns the files sucessfully to the dvd.
now according to the docs i should be able to append another session to 
the dvd with the -M option. this is what i get


%growisofs -M /dev/cd0a -r -J -speed=4 /home/timothy/burning/*
:-( unable to pread64(2) primary volume descriptor: Invalid argument
   you most likely want to use -Z option.

i'm using 4.10 and an LG multiformat dvd burner.

So you need to fit a DVD onto a CD;)

Here's what I did. For each .vob file

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
acodec=mp3:abitrate=192:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800 -vf scale=512:384 \
-o your.avi your.vob \

then concatenate the avi's 


cat your1.avi your2.avi ... yourn.avi  all.avi

and then fix the resulting avi with

mencoder -idx all.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -o result.avi

HTH,

 

it doesn't have to fit on a cd, just a single layer dvd. so only a small 
reduction in size is needed.
initally when i tried your command it errored whinging about not having 
a subfont.tff, so i just pointed it to a generic ttf i had, it then 
bombed out with this


mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
acodec=mp3:abitrate=192:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800 -font

If apci is incompatible with your hardware, you may have to disable it

it's 5.3 release,
apci and apm are disabled in generic (which i copied).
i added the lines device ath and device ath_hal

Since I had a version B of the same wireless PCI card working in 5.3, I 
wouldn't give up.  I would, however, update the system using cvsup in 
case something is missing/corrupted in the source code.


(Also check the version of the PCI card.  Is it version B?)

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

 

yeah thats the bugger of a thing, it has no network access to update via 
cvsup, i have to d/l latest i think and try again.

can i load kernel modules any other way besides compiling them in?

how likely is the gnome upgrade script to work on a 4.10 system? i have 
a few manully updated ports related to wxpython and wxGTK.
basicly what i'm intrested in, is can the gnome upgrade script totally 
blow apart my gnome installation/system, or is it intellegent enough to

In the case of firefox, the answer seems to be pretty damn quickly.  
The same is true of most popular ports.  I can only think of one port 
which I have which doesn't seem to have kept up with the original 
(fcron).  With a port you *do* compile it yourself (it's packages 
which are pre-compiled and I rarely touch those).  What you get are 
checksums, patches, dependencies calculated automatically. 
If you are desperate for a version of something which is newer than 
the port (or, older), you can still recompile it yourself, though if 
it's as complicated as firefox you are likely to run in to trouble.  
You also get a good record of what exactly is installed on your system 
(pkg_info) and semi-automatic info about what needs upgrading (cvsup 
and portupgrade, which I highky recommend; or the newer portmanager, 
but that dumps core for me).

In the time you've been having all this trouble, I compiled and 
installed one version of firefox (1.03).  Then came various potential 
security holes, and version 1.04 came out, which I then upgraded to.  
The only hassle was waiting for it to compile!  With portupgrade it 
even remebered which configuration options I had picked the first 
time, and re-used them the second time.

a very wild guess, perhaps you made your /tmp nosuid and noexec, and now
compilation fails because of that ?
(for me firefox compiled fine from ports some days ago, firefox-1.0.4,1)

 

drwxrwxrwt   9 root  wheel 1536 May 19 19:36 tmp
nope. keep in mind everyone that this is 4.10
there's nothing in /tmp that could be causing this i'm sure. is there 
anything i can do to make sure my ports and src tree's are clean besides

well, if your /tmp was mounted nosuid and noexec then a make world
would also fail
i have only 5.4-p1 systems in use (and not really time right now to
install 4.10 to try to reproduce this)
did you do a :
portsclean -C
portsclean -D
portupgrade -arvy

 

isnt' there some upgrade guide i should be reading before doing -ar ? 
this system is very  important, and while it doesn't matter if firefox 
is broken for the moment, breaking something like gnome would be a total 
disaster

Make sure your freetype port is up-to-date and that you don't have
stale freetype files installed from a previous non-ports install or
from a previous version of the port that you did not upgrade
correctly.  Use pkg_which from the portupgrade package to do this (see

yes sorry i jumped in without reading the man page for it's useage.

i portupgraded freetype2, and then firefox built successfully.
i was under the impression that portupgrade looked after dependencies 
like this on it's own however? is it possible in my fiddling around i 
screwed up something which prevented portupgrade upgrading freetype2?
fyi i upgraded gaim and some other stuff successfully, so everything 
seems OK

This thing is that I don't believe any of this should be necessary.

It's the closest thing to support available for FreeBSD.  There's

I do note, however, that only about 10% of my questions to the list
actually generate useful answers.  The other questions either get no
replies at all, or vague replies that really aren't useful, or pure
guesses.  One gets the impression that nobody really knows anything
about FreeBSD, or, if anybody does, he never replies to this list.
   

That is bullshit.  Take your recent request regarding firefox.  I told
you exactly how to do it - install ports, run portupgrade, then make
install in the firefox directory.
I did exactly that Monday evening on a system I was setting up and it
worked perfectly.
I also told you not to screw with the precompiled firefox package, and
you did it anyway, and you had problems.
 

Indeed, the only messages that generate replies are those that suggest
that FreeBSD is anything other than sweetness and light.  Serious
questions about how to use the software are met by a deafening
silence in too many cases. 

That's why I say what I do on my Web site.  Anyone thinking of running
FreeBSD in a production environment needs on-site experts to deal with
it, because they'll never get any help from anywhere else.
   

Untrue.  There's many of the core team that make a living consulting
with FreeBSD and that has been going on for years.
What you really mean to say is that they will never get any CHEAP help
from anywhere else, whereas with Windows since it's common as dogshit,
there's enough activity in the huge number of Windows forums that 
your bound to run across the answer to your question, for free, if you
fish around for it long enough.

install cd crazyness

2005-01-18 Thread Timothy Smith
i must be doing somethign wrong with burncd, becuase when i burn the 
RELEASE iso's, the system boots from the cd, gets all the way through 
the sysinstall menu's and when it comes to copying files it says it 
either can't read the cd or that it looks like an audio cd.

here is how i burnt them
burncd -e -f /dev/acd0c data /home/timothy/5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

could it be the blanking procedure is the problem? theres a lot of doc's

my question, is why ship such an old crap version. i mean 4.10 isn't 
THAT old, these docs are bloody old old.

ok i deleted the devices and ran sh MAKEDEV acd0 and still no joy
i'll pre-empt the it must be hardware by assuming you it's not, it's 
does it on 2 different drives which work in other machines just fine.
one is an lg dvdrw the other a cdrw

my only possible thought now is it's something to do with dma

reinstalling etc is not an option since this is a development machine
and i need to work on it all the time, can't afford for it to be down.
fyi i am using freebsd 4.10 release
is there a way i can delete /dev/acd0* and remake the device, could this
be a fix?
   

As far as remaking the devices are concerned, you can use the MAKEDEV script
for remaking all devices. Are you sure that you drive is jumpered properly
and the data cables connected to the drives are in good condition?

cannot mount cdrom - not a newbie problem

2004-12-14 Thread Timothy Smith
i have a genuine problem here.
i noticed my backup cdrw's had stopped working at some point. upon 
furthur investigation i find i cannot mount cd's full stop.

titan# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /mount
cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Invalid argument
the above command makes the drive light flicker for 3 seconds then the 
error.

this is NOT a hardware problem. i get the exact same issue with my brand 
new dvd drive.

here is what dmesg gas to say:
acd0: DVD-R HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B at ata1-slave WDMA2
da0 at hpt3740 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: HPT3xx RAID 1 Array 3.00 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 190782MB (390721957 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 24321C)
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a
cd0 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd0: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B A301 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd0: 16.000MB/s transfers
cd0: cd present [1 x 2048 byte records]
note this was working perfectly.
i suspect that some how my ata device has gone bad some how.
let me get the obvious replys out of the way:
yes i have googled nothing i can find has even touched on a fix.
yes there is a disc in the drive
no it is not an audio disk.
there is nothing else connected to the ide ports.

Re: cannot mount cdrom - not a newbie problem

what your suggesting is for 5.x
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mount
cd9660: /dev/cd0: No such file or directory
and yes /mount does exist and yes i do have permission to use it.
note how earlier i posted the problem with /cdrom
