In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] so spake Stuart Henderson (stu): Does anyone feel it would be useful to add PKG_PATH to the default env_keep for sudo? Otherwise there are going to be an awful lot of pkg_add is broken posts... Since that is OpenBSD-specific I don't think it makes sense to hard-code it into sudo.

Hi, Grateful if anyone could recommend a mail retrieval program which does not require a local SMTP service like fetchmail does. From the fetchmail man page : -m command | --mda command (Keyword: mda) You can force mail to be passed to an MDA directly (rather than forwarded to port 25) with the --mda or -m option.

carp: knocked out by adding cables?
i was redoing some ethernet cabling in the office and made 2 connections between 2 switches before i pulled one connection. shortly after plugging in the second cable the pair of webservers that use carp sans preemption got confused, causing a failover to the backup machine. here is a quick clarification of the cabling switch 1A---switch 2 \--B--/ where making connection B caused the drama. switch 1 is a nice managed switch and switch 2 is a random POS. is this the expected behavior with carp when a cabling topology like this comes up sans trunking, etc? clues about what happened would be great. cheers, jake

regular user can't login in with xdm
Hello, guys, When I finished installing the OpenBSD 4.1 on my thinkpad T43, I changed the xdm_config=NO to xdm_config= in the /etc/rc.conf.local, but as a regular user I can't login in with xdm , it said incorrect login on the login window of xdm ; as root I can login , but I can get my shell profile /root/.bash_profile used ( the PS1 variable I set in the .bash_profile didn't take effect). I search the maillist archive , and find similar problem in OpenBSD 2.8, but no answer. Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?

At least that's the standard way to enable xdm(1). but as a regular user I can't login in with xdm, it said incorrect login on the login window of xdm; as root I can login, Perhaps you have a german keyboard connected but no XkbLayout configured for your keyboard(4) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf(5), and your user password contains one of the characters Y or Z, while your root password doesn't? Of course, that's just guesswork, you could as well have different problems - but wrong keyboard layout is indeed notorious for preventing xdm login.

Hello everybody, I tried to configure a microphone on OpenBSD 4.1 but it seems I'm too dumb to get it working. I've read the FAQ (well the manpages where not that helpfull about it) and configured the settings like descriped: inputs.mic.mute=on inputs.mic.preamp=on inputs.mic.source=mic0 record.source=mic record.volume=255,255 record.volume.mute=off record.mic=0 record.mic.mute=off All I get if I do dd if=/dev/audio of=myvoice.raw is some scrambled sound. Sounds like the background noise on every Audiodevice just much louder. I'm sure I miss something but I don't figure out what it is. My audiodevice is a auvia0. I tried to play a littlebit with the settings but maybe I fucked something up... audioctl -a mixerctl -a Output: name=VIA VT8233 version= config=auvia encodings=ulinear:8,mulaw:8*,alaw:8*,slinear:8*,slinear_le:16,ulinear_le:16*,slinear_be:16*,ulinear_be:16* properties=full_duplex,mmap,independent full_duplex=0 fullduplex=0 blocksize=4800 hiwat=13 lowat=1 monitor_gain=0 mode= play.rate=48000 play.channels=1 play.precision=8 play.encoding=mulaw play.gain=127 play.balance=32 play.port=0x0 play.avail_ports=0x0 play.seek=0 play.samples=0 play.eof=0 play.pause=0 play.error=0 play.waiting=0 play.open=0 play.active=0 play.buffer_size=65536 record.rate=48000 record.channels=1 record.precision=8 record.encoding=mulaw record.gain=191 record.balance=32 record.port=0x1 record.avail_ports=0x7 record.seek=0 record.samples=24000 record.eof=0 record.pause=0 record.error=0 record.waiting=0 record.open=0 record.active=0 record.buffer_size=65536 record.errors=0 outputs.master=199,199 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.mono=255 outputs.mono.mute=on outputs.mono.source=mixerout outputs.headphones=255,255 outputs.headphones.mute=on outputs.bass=255 outputs.treble=255 inputs.speaker=255 inputs.speaker.mute=off inputs.phone=191 inputs.phone.mute=on inputs.mic=191 inputs.mic.mute=on inputs.mic.preamp=on inputs.mic.source=mic0 inputs.line=191,191 inputs.line.mute=on inputs.cd=191,191 inputs.cd.mute=off inputs.video=191,191 inputs.video.mute=on inputs.aux=191,191 inputs.aux.mute=on inputs.dac=191,191 inputs.dac.mute=off record.source=mic record.volume=255,255 record.volume.mute=off record.mic=0 record.mic.mute=off outputs.loudness=off outputs.spatial=off outputs.spatial.center=0 outputs.spatial.depth=0 outputs.surround=255,255 outputs.surround.mute=on outputs.center=255 outputs.center.mute=on outputs.lfe=255 outputs.lfe.mute=on outputs.extamp=off The only thing wich happens is that the noise gets reduced (but not away) if I say something into the microphone. But the words I speak wont get recorded. It would be great if somebody could point me to my misstake and tell me how to get it working. :) Kind regards, Sebastian

I think whether this really works is somewhat hardware/ driver dependent. at any rate, unmute this until you get something, then try muting it. probably record.mic should not be 0. that looks like a monoaural volume control. All I get if I do dd if=/dev/audio of=myvoice.raw is some scrambled sound. Sounds like the background noise on every Audiodevice just much louder. I'm sure I miss something but I don't figure out what it is. well, the auvia devices I have don't record at all. most likely there is just some input switched with some output, since I have to plug my speakers into the mic jack to get audio. still haven't figured that out yet. anyway, if the above suggestions don't help, I would also suggest trying a different encoding, like slinear_le and using /dev/sound instead of /dev/audio. mulaw is emulated on auvia. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

Really, the question comes down to: Should a core openbsd hacker have to pay for the machine they do openbsd work on? Now, this person may have a work computer, but that's for the paying work. This person may have his personal computers, but those are for his personal use. If he or she does so much work as to need a dedicated computer (and Theo will definitely speak up, if someone like myself asks for a dedicated openbsd hacking laptop), who are you to question that?

flash on OpenBSD!
(this would be ports@ but it's something many people would care about, I think) I'm reporting that I've got Gnash-0.8 (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/) working on OpenBSD. It's really choppy and doesn't work right on everything, but it's pretty close. In 60% of cases it's workable (and you can shutdown anyone who tries to tell you OpenBSD can't be a desktop system). Tonight I was reminded of gnash it and decided to try it. `pkg_add -iv gnash` indeed installed it, but youtube and even weebls-stuff.com was very broken. My friend told me that the version installed was *really* old. So I pkg_delete'd that and boldly just downloaded the source from a GNU mirror. `./configure` was unhappy with me, spitting a bunch of errors. it wanted a bunch of libs I didn't have. One of of them was the render; it gave an option --enable-renderer=agg to make it use this alternate renderer and since I'd noticed that agg had been installed when I first pkg_add'd it i used that. Then it was still unable, and wanted me to disable klash (which is some kind of KDE crap interface to it I suppose). I built it and installed it, but the firefox plugin was in the wrong place so I had to move that too. So, the full sequence of commands I used: $ sudo pkg_add -iv agg $ #[download gnash-0.8.0 from your favourite GNU mirror] $ tar zxvf gnash-0.8.0.tar.gz $ cd gnash-0.8.0 $ ./configure --enable-renderer=agg --disable-klash $ sudo make#I don't know if sudo is needed here $ sudo make install $ mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins $ sudo mv ~/.firefox/plugins/* ~/.mozilla/plugins $ mozilla-firefox youtube.com #make sure this actually restarts mozilla in mozilla you can check the URL about:plugins to see what it knows about gnash. -Nick
