SiI 0680 and 5.3

2004-11-27 Thread Volker Eckert
i learned from the 5.3 errata that raid functionality for the 
above mentioned chipset was broken: 

...ata raid support  is non-functional ... raid config
stored under 5.2 or prior may be corrupted

since i had severe problems getting 5.2.1 to work reliably 
(the machine would just reboot under high network load)
i tested it with 5.3. initially it didn't recognise the raid1
but after recreating it (without losing any data disk) it 
just worked fine. moreover, the reboots are gone.

what am i missing? or is it that only the 5.2 _configuration_
has gotten corrupted but the new created 5.3 configuration
is ok??

any hints?
thanks!

packet filtering because otherwise i would not have any device 
node for nmap to use?

 Here is the error I'm getting:
 sed: 1: s//usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -n ...: bad flag in substitute command: 'X'
   ^^^

my guess is:

after expanding $REPLACELINE your command looks like you see above,
which is not what you wanted.
proposed solution: use other delimiters for sed.

Re: 5.2.1, installed Mozilla -- X reverses background colors when used!!

 I have run 5.2.1 successfully on many machines and X is actually
 working fine except when I use Mozilla as installed from ports.
 
 The whole background turns into a negative and so does the Mozilla
 browser.  All returns to normal once I exit Mozilla. 
 ...

since nobody else replied... my 2 cents:
maybe your X is running with too few colours? is it changing the
colours when you change the focus?

0.93 crashes just as well... Re: firefox-1.0.1.p_2 crashing on javascript

i am using firefox 0.93 on freebsd 5.21p11 - it crashes once in a 
while when loading 'ordinary' pages with chunk already free and
a segfault. when i try loading them again later it usually works. 
from googling i learned that this might be related to Xft...
anybody got a solution to that (apart from disabling Xft, it looks
so nice ;-)? 

it also almost inevitably crashes if i close a window that was
previously popped up by javascript; and the flashplugin (i use one
of the netscape plugins from the jdk1.4.2 plugins directory) seems
to have issues, too. any advice on these would also be greatly 
appreciated.

regards,
Volker.

Did you try building the jdk before you had linprocfs mounted? If so, blow
away /usr/ports/java/jdk14/work and start over.
i only mounted linprocfs after the first error showed up. it works 
now. btw: how did you get that information out of the error 
message (i'm curious)?

thanks a lot!
Volker.

regarding default.cfg for quake 3 game?

I have installed the LINUX compatible drivers and libraries and have

nvidia.ko on my system.

Any help is appreciated.
yep, as far as I remember you need pak0.pk3... default.cfg file should be in 
there.
As you can see, the guy from

http://lists.asu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0305L=asulugF=S=P=12606
haven't got pak0.pk3 file too and got the same problem as you.

iirc for _playing_ you do need the pak0.pk3,
but if you want to get rid of the complaint about the missing
default.cfg you just create an empty one (~/.q3a/default.cfg i 
think) since the original default.cfg contains just a comment, but 
you'll need the original pak files anyway.

regards.

/usr/ports/java/jdk14 - native or not? problems with build..

2004-10-05 Thread Volker Eckert
i understand that port was the native freebsd port - why do i need 
linprocfs mounted and why does it depend on 
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac

anyway, i am getting this while trying to build that very port 
(jdk14):
