Software taking a long time to load on FreeBSD6
Why is it that some applications like x11, ratpoison, and firefox come up instantly while applications like xmms, emacs and thunderbird take about five minutes to load? I've tried several things to try and fix this. - I've deinstalled packages to see if ports was any better and vice versa. - I've cleaned out /tmp, /var/tmp, and /var/lock and checked free space. - getting the vanilla sources from the origional FTP site and compiling them I've tried everything I can think of and I'm wondering, why is this happening and what can I do to fix it?

Without wishing to offend him, Bill is just a user of FreeBSD, the same as Reuters. He is unlikely to wish to do that job for you. Try the FreeBSD Foundation, contacted via http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/contact.shtml. They are the closest thing we have to legal representation.

First off, please don't top-post. Secondly, you initially contacted the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED], which consists of volunteers who assist people with the use of FreeBSD in their spare time. It's poor form to contact a volunteer outside of the list unless the volunteer has requested it. I've returned this discussion to the list to remedy that. Thirdly, it sounds as if you want some sort of legal certification. You're not liable to find anyone who's willing to volunteer that sort of information. I suggest you contact the FreeBSD Foundation (http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/) which has some formal presence, and may be able to help. Otherwise, you may want to look here http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/ for a vendor who is willing to provide consulting services. > Bethan Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Good Afternoon, > > > > We are working with our client Reuters to help them comply with EU and > US > > export control regulation.

Re: Software RAID guidance
I have been uable to get vinum to work under 6.0. I'm no expert though. Vinum became gvinum in 6.0 and is implemented using geom. Recently the gvinum man page has been updated and it available in 6.1 RC-1. I think if you want mirroring only you should consult the geom pages. It seems as though geom is the way of the future but does not currently support R5 which is what I was looking for. Somewhere out there is a pretty comprehensive set of iozone benchmarks comparing linux and BSD software Raid. Ah found it: http://www25.big.jp/~jam/filesystem/old/ This might give you some ideas.

DCSSI Authorisation for Free BSD Software
Good Afternoon, We are working with our client Reuters to help them comply with EU and US export control regulation. In this regard, Reuters have some Free BSD v4.1 software, which they are sending to France. A declaration or authorisation may be needed for this software for import into, use in, supply in, or export from France. Can you please advice us if FreeBSD have obtained a French encryption authorisation for the above mentioned software from the DCSSI? If this is the case we would be grateful if you could provide us with a copy of this authorisation, as Reuters will need this to export this product to/from France, and the DCSSI does not supply this information to third parties.

Booting into an installed software raid system
Hello FreeBSD users, I am happilly installing FreeBSD systems (remotely), however there is one thing which I would like to get solved, hopefully the one or the other can help me out. Anyway here the story goes: I have setup a sample FreeBSD system (Software Raid 1) on the devices /dev/ad2 and /dev/ad4. I reboot the system and want to leave the FreeBSD system in the CDrom drive for later use, but boot from the software mirrored FreeBSD installation (on the HDD). How do I do this ? 0) I could use the KVM and set the motherboards bios'es boot option, but lets ignore that for a moment ;-) 1) In the Bootloader menu I am choosing Option "6 - Loading a command prompt" 2) I could probably use the Fixit option in the install CD So for now, lets explore 1) a bit more I load the necessary kernel and the modules. f.e. load geom_mirror lsdev will show me as devices "cd0", "disk1s1xxx", "disk2s1xxx" Note that the "real" device name used should be actually f.e. "/dev/ad2s1xxx" and "/dev/ad4s1xxx" How can I boot from here into f.e. /dev/gm0s1xxx ? (ad2 and ad4 are defined as gm0 in the original setup) Any suggestion welcome.

TV Tuner viewing software suggestions
I'm trying to use my TV Tuner (A Leadtek Brooktree chipset tuner), and I have gotten FXTV to work great with one exception: It appears to only work in something that looks to be about 320x240, when I go fullscreen or anything larger than what it opens as, it only draws to part of the screen... providing something, that while rather cool looking, is not productive for watching tv or playing console games. I tried getting kbtv to work, but I'm getting an error installing py-kde. I tried getting xawtv to work, but it's got compile errors. Both of these have occured since my earliest CVSUPs, at around the 28th of last month, py-kde seems to work pre-cvsup, but I don't know how to fix it now, nor do I know a good cvsup date to grab the clean pykde.

The growth of small and medium sized companies can often be catalyzed by ISO 9001:2000 acquisition by opening the door to multi-national firms.

Numerous months of preparation and training were required to meet these rigorous standards. Service companies do not typically seek certification, which is typically sought by manufacturing firms for the purpose of meeting both international process and environmental standards.

Tippingpoint SMS client software
Greetings, We recently obtained a Tippingpoint SMS server which is currently safe guarding our network against the bad guys. Unfortunately, the client software for Linux (which is nothing more than a Java program) does and doesn't really work on my FreeBSD machine: - It tries to install the a Linux JRE. - The installation program aborts halfway with errors in the Java program. I unpacked all the .jar files and got the first part of the client program working: It asks me for an SMS server, username and password. Filling them in, it connects to the SMS server, I see some certificates being exchanged but the client then throws a horrible "An error occured connecting to the SMS server." which absolutely is useless here. So my question... has somebody gotten the Tippingpoint SMS client software running on FreeBSD?

Software RAID-1 FreeBSD 5.4
Hi, This is on FreeBSD 5.4 latest stable snapshot on January. I've followed the instructions at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html for creating software RAID, which appears to have been successful. the raid created, and synched, couple of reboots all is good. So I wanted to test it out, I've unplugged one of the drives and rebooted, however, I've received the error: ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 mountroot> It doesn't matter which disk I unplug, it gives the same result. I've attempted to remount: ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a ufs:/dev/ad6s1a ufs:/dev/ad4s1a no luck. so I looked over: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html and added the 'options GEOM_MIRROR' to Kernel, then recompiled, installed and restarted, the machine would hang completely just when loading the AD drives. Are the articles missing any steps ? any help is appreciated.

Both are fairly easy to get setup and use, so it is really a matter of personal preference. I personally prefer squirrel mail, I found roundcube felt a little incomplete (it was a while ago, so that could have changed by now). IIRC they have a demo on their website you can log onto if you want to see how it works. There is no reason why you couldn't have both setup, and then the user themselves can decide which one to use.

"wintel" stands for windows+intel :-)
how about Freeon - FreeBSD+{Athlon|Sempron|Opteron}?
Thanks for the tip. I've been wondering how one can do
that, but never got to googling. I'm still afraid to mess
with production servers, though zapping the boot manager
would save a few seconds each reboot (hmm, once every
few years :).
UBCD is great, especially when you get hold of mkisofs
and start customizing it. I had to learn it when I needed to
reflash a server without FDD. It only took an hour to find
a guide, experiment and have a new ubcd containing
all the firmwares I need.
Hiren is also very good, but it contains warez mostly, so
beware. There are many other alternatives out there.

By forum software, I am referring to programs such as o phpBB o vBulletin by Jelsoft Personally, I HATE working with PHP... not to start flames or anything, call me 'old-school' if you will, but I prefer to seperate as much of the 'code' from the 'presentation' (html) as possible. I use a mod_perl'd version of mwForum under Apache, with a MySQL backend for my hosting customers. It allows me to setup multiple forums, can do polls/voting/etc, and gives great felxibility to 'virtually-hosted' forums/communities. Check out http://forum.tallyhoamusements.com/ (one of my customers' sites) - for bandwidth usages, check out http://forum.tallyhoamusements.com/stats/ to see what that forum actually uses. I've hacked some portions of the forum code for security/configuration reasons, but mwForum will work pretty much out-of-the-box on FreeBSD with Apache; using optimizations for mod_perl are a little trickier - but that's where experience pays off. 2) Suggestions for hosting services At a recent Colorado SAGE meeting, a fellow told me that hosting services exist where I can get a "virtual Linux" box for $20/month or so. I specify how much physical memory, disk space etc. that I need, and I get a "virtual Linux" system, but for all intents and purposes, it looks and acts like it's own system. Does FreeBSD have any similar ability to "virtualize"? Are any hosting services offering FreeBSD servers for as little as $15-25 / month? If not, for how little $/month might I find a FreeBSD server hosted by someone else? Recommendations of hosting services welcome. I looked into a lot of VPS options before I picked my providers; but in the end I found it cheaper/easier just to pay for a dedicated server alltogether. I pay roughly $100 / Canadian ( ~ $85 USD) per month for a dedicated 2Ghz+ machine w/ 80GB drive, 512Mb Ram, and 200Gb/month bandwidth. Email me off-list for details/providers if you'd like. I have servers currently in Chicago, Toronto, and New Jersey - all from different providers. 3) Is anyone familiar with web forum software? Can you point me to any of: o Usenet groups o Web forums for forum admins o rules of thumb for estimating bandwidth requirements / system sizing for estimated numbers of users?

Re: forum software / hosting
Hi Steve, I've responded to your messages in-line below: Steve Camp wrote: I need to setup a web forum for a friend, and sure could appreciate some pointers. Some of my questions/issues include: 1) Which forum software runs on FreeBSD? By forum software, I am referring to programs such as o phpBB o vBulletin by Jelsoft FreeBSD supports several different programming languages - including PHP. Any kind of forum software that is programmed in these supported languages should be able to run without too much effort on a FreeBSD system. If you do you something free/open source like phpBB, be sure to keep it up to date and patched. It's a common target for script kiddies once an exploit has been found. 2) Suggestions for hosting services At a recent Colorado SAGE meeting, a fellow told me that hosting services exist where I can get a "virtual Linux" box for $20/month or so. I specify how much physical memory, disk space etc. that I need, and I get a "virtual Linux" system, but for all intents and purposes, it looks and acts like it's own system. Does FreeBSD have any similar ability to "virtualize"? Are any hosting services offering FreeBSD servers for as little as $15-25 / month? If not, for how little $/month might I find a FreeBSD server hosted by someone else? Recommendations of hosting services welcome. It sounds like you're talking about VPS's, or Virtual Private Servers. These are becoming very common-place n the Internet. This link should get you started: http://www.google.com/search?q=freebsd+vps 3) Is anyone familiar with web forum software? Can you point me to any of: o Usenet groups o Web forums for forum admins o rules of thumb for estimating bandwidth requirements / system sizing for estimated numbers of users? Forums take up very little space and bandwidth in general, but as always it depends on what you use it for and what you allow your clients to do with it. If you're just running a default install, a couple MB should get you covered. Many thanks, -- Steve Camp Camp Technologies, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this helps!

If security patches are applied to compat5x, you may have to track down the insecure libraries manually, or update packages. If you later update or add packages, you may run into library conflicts. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Ripping a dvd to an image that can be burned to a writable dvd is not a cut and dried procedure for a number of reasons. I have used a number of tools on bsd to get the job done in various circumstances. The tools I've used include vobcopy, mplayer/mencoder, transcode (for tcrequant), mjpeg-tools (for mplex), dvdauthor, and growisofs. I have also used dvdrip with some success.

In the windows world I used dvd decrypter. It output .iso files directly, and it supported removing macrovision (and most importantly) removing prohibited user actions ( PUA / PUO ). I cannot find anything like this for FreeBSD. I asked previously, and was shown sysutls/dvdbackup. This program is extremely limited, has no macrovision or PUA functionality, _and_ does not output ISO files. I know I can take its output and re-form it back to an ISO, but I bet it is not the same as a direct ISO. And a perfect copy is important to me. So, does anyone know of any _decent_ way to rip a dvd _directly_ to an ISO on FreeBSD, and that also supports advanced features like I mention above?

If all you need to do is add a few numbers together, any calculator will suffice. However, if you require trigonometry expressions, then obviously you will require a more 'featureful' calculator. I have used MS Project in the past, and found it to be a rather useful tool. The learning curve was not as extensive as I had first feared. I certainly did not find it to be over burdened by an excessive number of unused features. In fact, I rather appreciated the fact that they were available if I should ever require them. In any case, check out: http://www.openworkbench.org. They have a nice piece of software form what I have heard. I have never actually used it however, although I plan to at the next appropriate opportunity. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

Re: Project Management Software
used by FreeBSD developer for many years ! Software project management is only a small subset of the project management universe. of course. in *nix world traditionally there are lots of small programs, each doing well it's small work, instead of one huge program. it's good to concentrate on that solution and then search. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Software project management is only a small subset of the project management universe. In the Win32 world, probably the best OSS alternative to MS Project is OpenWorkbench - http://www.openworkbench.org In the *nix world, there are some alternatives, but I'm not familiar with them. However, this might yield some results for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=project+management+site%3Asf.net&btnG=Google+Search In particular, I note http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotproject, which looks interesting, though I've not tried it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't think that's not the question, actually. As I understand it, he's asking for project planning software, you know, dates, deliverables, etc. M$ Project is the one thing I haven't seen suitably reproduced or bested in the open source world. CVS on the other hand, is version control, which can be completely unrelated and independed of project management, particularly if the project has nothing to do with code. I know, this is a strange concept for many on this list. :) Nonetheless, even construction and urban development contractors use project planning software. If anyone knows of a project that actually does what M$ Project does, I'd be interested as well.

RE: Contact Management Software
No problemo ... Its not uncommon for ports to be behind as they are maintained by someone who may not necessarily be on the actual developer team, but is just a user who has found the app, liked it, and (hopefully with the nod from the original developers) rolled it into a port. Keeping it up to date is a task that then must be done by this maintainer in their spare time. The benefit is that usually the port has actually been tested on FreeBSd and appropriate patches built into the port. For some apps, no patches are necessary and you can go straight to the master site for the most current version. Others may be targetted at other platforms / libraries etc and require the patch, so going to the master site wont work without you personally figuring out the patch. (looking at the make file for the ported version may help here) cheers mjt -Original Message- From: Mark Kane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 4:06 PM To: Murray Taylor Cc: Vampire D; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Contact Management Software Thanks for the suggestion of SugarCRM. I think this may work out great for him with a couple of modules. :) Only thing left is to figure out how to print labels/mail merge from it, but their community may have a solution. One thing I did notice as well, the SugarCRM website has the latest version as 3.5.1, and the version ports is only 2.5.1b_1. I've got 3.5.1 running on a test server to demo to this co-worker and it's working great so far. Thanks again. -Mark Murray Taylor wrote: > Is your ports tree up to date ???
