What OS version? There was a similar problem experienced on multi-core
machines where some of the boot messages were getting interleaved like
that.  It was harmless, other than being aesthetically unpleasing -- I
believe it has been fixed in 8.2-RELEASE or later.

If you can demonstrate the problem on a recent version of the OS, and it

I find that kernel log messages about killed processes are doubling the
characters just like that (on an SMP machine). Probably thay are getting killed
simultaneously and the kernel writes msg about that one-by-one character.

Should I file a PR on this? Have no idea how could I reproduce a situation. but
it's regularly sent from 'periodic daily' several kernel log messages collected
for a day.

No -- your eyes are perfectly fine.  It's a failure to render that text
properly as bold.  On an ancient teletype that would have been done by
retyping the same character on top of the first one, which is ultimately
where all those doubled characters come from.

Why not? :-)

I'd be happy to have a centralized reference for UNIX
and Linux system in one web page.



> Is it for Linux emulator?

At least you can apply it there. Also note that there
are manuals for OpenBSD, SunOS, ULTRIX or HP-UX which
are definitely not related to the Linux emulation (which
is an alternative binary interface - ABI - on FreeBSD).

Computer: HP dvr6 2150us (laptop)


First of all - I looked for you notebook and it looks like you have an 
Intel Core i3 with an Intel GMA HD.
If that is the case you will have troubles running Xorg on that notebook 
due to the lack of KMS in FreeBSD. There is a patch for HEAD (the 
development version of FreeBSD) but quiet some work is needed to get it 
running.
KMS is under development right now - but not yet available in any 
releases...


Regarding your problem:

I have the same problem on my notebook - my solution is dirty but I was 
not able find a better one: (or better - not any other at all)


- Install FreeBSD, remove the disk from your computer, put it in an 
external case and run fdisk (e.g. linux fdisk - i used fdisk from the 
parted magic boot cd for that)
Mark the correct partition as active (even if it's already marked as 
such - remove the flag, write it, set it back and again write)
- put it back into your notebook - now everything should work fine - 
don't ever press any of the F keys during the boot (it usually prompts 
for it) - it would result in the same problem as before
- if you want to install eg windows now would be the time (if so - use 
the windows boot manager to boot freebsd - do NOT use the freebsd boot 
manager (the F1, F2, ... thing) )

[ http://bastian.rieck.ru/howtos/windows_boot_manager/ ]

To be honest - I haven't tried booting FreeBSD after that fix without 
Windows - so no promises there - it might happen that it boots eg only 
once...


An alternative solution would be to install FreeBSD using GPT instead of 
MBR (works if you a.) don't care about windows, or b.) have UEFI BIOS to 
install Windows on a GPT disk)

Can you please not top-post while on this list as it's convention states?

That command is suboptimal to put it kindly.  First, it's not necessary to
wipe the entire drive, simply destroying the first couple sectors will be
sufficent for the cause.  Second, in the rare case you do need to wipe the
entire thing, don't use bs=1k unless you really enjoy sitting around
waiting.   Use either of the following if you really must:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1k count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=512k

but you can call me uncle Eddie if that somehow helps.  I'm not sure how you
think a bad burn would cause POST to fail.  First, I'd check around and see
if there were problems with system like this:

http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-111507-hp-pavilion-dv6000-won-t-turn-on-black-screen

Then I might look for BIOS updates to fix the problem.  Teseting BIOS to
defaults would be something I would try, followed by unplugging unnecessary
peripherals.

Are you able to boot from the usb you used to install? If yes,
then my first instinct would be to scrub the disk and
start over. Hopefully what ever is going on is just a freak anomaly.

If you can boot the from the usb stick, go to the fixit shell and
run

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1k

That will fill the disk with zeros, erasing _everything_.

indeed, it's possible that this is the case,
you can use mtr in FreeBSD to try to traceroute them (mtr doesn't use
ping) instead

First, here's the relevant section in the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html

Now, for network connectivity to work properly, you need three things: The 
interface must have an IP assigned to it, you need routing information 
(usually that means that you need to set a default route yourself, routing 
for your subnet is configured automatically when you set an IP), and last 
you'll probably want to have a DNS server set.

If you are using DHCP, you need this entry in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
and everything should work. If you don't have DHCP, or you wish to check the 
settings you got through DHCP, do this:

* You can see your current IP by typing "ifconfig". You can assign a new IP
  with "ifconfig rl0 1.2.3.4". You can automatically assign an IP on startup
  by adding the following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
  ifconfig_rl0="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 0xff00"

* You can see the current default route (also referred to as default gateway)
  by typing "netstat -rn". The line starting with "default" (or 0.0.0.0 on
  Non-FreeBSD systems) is your default route. If you don't have one, you can
  set one with "route add default 1.2.3.4". The IP you specify there should
  be the IP of your firewall or router. To make this setting apply on startup,
  add this line to your /etc/rc.conf:
  defaultrouter="1.2.3.4"
  Again, the IP there is your router's IP.

* You can see the currently set DNS server by looking at /etc/resolv.conf.
  You can add DNS servers my modifying that file. A correct entry looks like
  this:
  nameserver 4.2.2.4

If these settings are all correct, and you still don't have connectivity, the 
cause is one of the following:

* Your networking card is broken. Your Realtek card is of extremely low
  quality, and they break frequently in unexpected ways. I know, I've had it
  happen to me too.

* You have a firewall active on your FreeBSD system. FreeBSD ships with three
  different firewalls. The simplest thing is to disable them for now.
  PF you can disable with the "pfctl -d" command. IPFW you can disable with
  "ipfw disable firewall". And last, ipf you can disable with "ipf -D".

* Your IP settings are simply incorrect, but you don't recognize that. If you
  still haven't solved the problem by now, post some more details, like
  the output of the "ifconfig" and "netstat -rn" commands as well as the
  general layout of your LAN.

Hope this helps!

Cheers
Benjamin

Where to rent a FreeBSD user account?

2005-09-16 Thread Andrew P.
Hello!

I'm sick and tired of moving config files between a multitude
of hosts just in order to find a nice environment and edit them,
I feel like I need a place to "stay". I've decided to rent a virtual
freebsd server next year, but in the meantime, I need just a
user account.

Required:
- freebsd 5.4+
- large selection of preinstalled ports
- 300Mb+ disk space
- 2Gb+ monthly traffic
- ftp access
- stable as in rock-solid
- backed up regularly
- uptime very close to 100%
- under $15/month

Preferably:
- nfs access
- located in Europe

I've googled for a few minutes, but all I've found is
some free ("as is") accounts and http-hosting. Maybe
some of you guys know (or own?) a decent company
that offers such a service?


Thanks,
Andrew P.

Just a quick check. Make sure you do a 

#include 

and

using namespace std;

symbols like cout and endl are in the std namespace, so if you don't
have the above statement, you have to say something like

std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl;

You need -lstdc++

Or use c++ (instead of cc or gcc) which includes the
C++ Standard Library automatically.

That's the only reason I can think of.  C++ programs have compiled just fine
any time I've tried them.  Without the snippit of code, however, it's hard
to say for sure.

If you use KDE or Gnome as a window manager, they provide "shutdown" buttons.
Also, by default, CTL+ALT+DELETE is mapped to a controlled (safe) shutdown
(meaning it properly halts the OS before rebooting)  If neither of those
methods are acceptable, you will have to be root, or someone with sudo
rights to shutdown (if you've installed sudo).
Also, I have windows and bsd on the same machine. Can

Just reinstall the one you want.  If it's Windows, you'll need to reinstall
the FreeBSD boot manager after you've reinstalled Windows (because Windows
rebuilds your boot loader to its liking, without asking you).  Just make
sure you use the correct partitions, etc.  I would definately back up
everything before reinstalling either OS.

  Unfortunately, the project does not give out @FreeBSD.org accounts for
vanity purposes. User accounts are only given to FreeBSD developers and rarely
to non-developers who need to access a FreeBSD machine for a very specific
purpose. The project has limited resources, and they're probably best spent in
support of writing code and documentation, rather than giving away free mail
hosting services. ;)

Reference to this policy can be found here:
