Re:Shipping?
Hi? I'm John from Kenya. I'm a university student and a die hard fan of free bsd. The version I'm currently using is a bit old and (acquired from Digit magazines (india)). Is it possible for your organization to ship to me a more recent version? Our internet connections are rather slow (We're still in the stone age) and the cost of internet is quite expensive.

What is the next hop for the route you are trying to add?

"Cheap" > is word I'm looking for :-) You'll need to use the binary nvidia drivers, the open source nv driver doesn't support dual-head at all. So you run in to a couple of gotchas there. The first being that the nvidia drivers are i386 only, they aren't available for AMD64, and the second is that twinview has a sort of odd behavior when you use different resolutions on each monitor. It's hard to describe but the driver basically pretends that the resolutions are the same and then only draws what can be displayed of the smaller one, so there's desktop outside of the monitor that you can drag windows in to but obviously can't see. With regards to cards I've used the recent nvidia drivers and dual-head with everything from an fx5500 PCI card to 6200LE to 6600GT to 7200 cards. I've used the legacy drivers with various 4x00ti cards.

FW: Data corruption with Ide Raid Card
Hi, On our dev environnement, we have a clone server with a Promise FastTrak Tx2000 Pata Raid Card When we installed freebsd, it got detected and I didn't do anything special during the installation. Yesterday, a hard drive failed. Freebsd crashed with write errors on screen. I rebooted and removed the hard drive marked as dead in the raid controller. Freebsd booted up no problem, but I lost a couple of tables in some databases in mysql. Is there anything I forgot/did wrong to get into this problem ? or is it just that these controllers are so crappy that explain the corruption ? I more used to scsi hardware raid controllers in freebsd and never had a data corruption problem before even when disk died or because we hot-removed them.

tightvnc trouble
Approximately 2 weeks ago, I performed a fresh installation of FreeBSD 6.2, updated to STABLE world and kernel, deleted all packages and installed up-to-date versions of packages. The upgrade to xorg 7.2 was uneventful. (whew) After using tightvnc, the user that started vncserver is unable to access an X window locally, even after killing vncserver and rebooting. All I get is a grey screen with a black crosshair until xinit gives up with the messages below. The first section is repeated several times before the program gives up. #messages begin# AUDIT: Tue Jul 17 08:34:12 2007: 853 X: client 1 rejected from local host (uid 1002) Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified .. giving up. xinit: unable to connect to X Server waiting for X server to shut down ..FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1, fixing. xinit: Server error. #end of messages# After this happened, I had to remove and recreate the user to get X working again. Root, who never executed vncserver, was able to use X before and after tightvnc was used. To recreate this scenario, I created a new user, "vncguest", with a .xinitrc file containing only one line: "startkde". Vncserver was started using the default options (twm, etc). After remote access was opened and closed, vncguest has been unable to use X. My normal user can still use X (kde). Any advice?

FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/Xorg 7.2: nv driver without OpenGL?
Hello List. I run into a problems after upgrading a box from FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE/i386 with Xorg 7.2 to FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/i386 with Xorg 7.2. Stellarium 0.8.2 as taken from the ports is frequently used by my department to produce some scenic pictures and Stellarium ran quite well on my box on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE and Xorg 7.2. After changing OS to FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/i386 and recompiling everything Stellarium quits working immediately after startup with this error message: --- [ This is Stellarium 0.8.2 - http://www.stellarium.org ] [ Copyright (C) 2000-2006 Fabien Chereau et al ] --- Warning: Couldn't set 1024x768 video mode (X11 driver not configured with OpenGL), retrying with stencil size 0 Error: Couldn't set 1024x768 video mode: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL!

Firefox 2.0.0.4/Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 do not install on FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT/amd64 UP
A week ago I did a buildworld and after rebooting I tried to start either Firefox 2.0.04 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 as they are both standard applications of my daily work. Both applications did not start, via top(1) I recognized on both clients a "STATE ucond". Well, I thought this could be due to a newer kernel and userland so I simply recompiled both Firefox and Thunderbird - with no success. Both installation processes get stuck in "===>> Building chrome's registry ... " and never come back. I do have two other boxes running FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT, one i386 SMP and another amd64 SMP and on both neither Firefox 2.0.0.4 nor Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 show that weird 'ucond' STATE in top(). I never dared recompiling both applications so i can not say whether the problem is related to the one box (UP). Does anyone have recognized this problem? How to fix it? Without having the specific port installed, how can I rebuild every dependency? If the port is already installed, someone simply need to type 'portupgrade -vrRf port", but is there any 'make' equivalent in the native ports-directory?

One thing I forgot and that was the disappearance of the all HDs. You could cold boot and they were there. The system would panic and it would ask for a floppy to boot from. You could cold boot and fsck the HDs, reboot and it would run for a little bit and then go into the panic and HDs not there loop. It did this until it trashed ad0 and sh quit loading. I would lay odds that I could have used the power supply tester and the ps would test ok until it got under a load and shutdown. I had a ps do the same thing a couple of months ago but it didn't make HDs disappear. The system would just shutdown unexpectedly. I never made it to a buildworld and have it die with a signal 11. Without a load, the ps would test ok. A friend who services computers told me that, in his experience, the pses are typically only lasting 3 years and that I should expect more of these failures.

VMWare Guest Operations on FreeBSD? Anyone got this to work?
Hello guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out on something. I'm trying to script some VMWare processes for a bunch of VM's, and it seems like FreeBSD may be a special case here. I've been told by some VMWare techs that guest operations are not supported on FreeBSD at this time. These guest operations usually run in my script on my host machine, to the guest VM via the vmware-guestd daemon on the guest OS. It it perfectly possible to install this daemon and keep it running. However, whenever I try to run any operation from my script, such as VMRunProgramInGuest, or VMLoginInGuest, I get the error message: "Authentication failure or insufficient permissions in guest operating system" So, my obvious question to guys is 1) Have you ever seen these types of guest operations run on a FreeBSD guest VM in VMWare, and 2) if so, do you know how they got this working? =) I went the extra mile here and tried the Linux emulation capabilities, and then installed the vmware-guestd daemon by hand, but amazingly I still get the same exact error when doing this. (The steps that I took for manual installation, if anyone is curious, are *roughly* summed up on this page for OpenBSDwhen running the normal vmware-config.pl script for Linux on FreeBSD, that script bails when it can't find lsmod. Anyway, link: http://www.openbsd-wiki.org/index.php?title=HowTo_install_VMWare_tools=)these get Linux emulation gets vmware-guestd running just fine, but like I said, same error.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There's no gnu-libtool, cause libtool doesn't have multiple versions in devel, I guess, so you'll need devel/libtool, which installs /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4.

I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p2 with Postfix, Cyrus-SASL2, amavisd-new, clamav and dbmail (only IMAP with stunnel) with a pgsql backend. Hi Oliver, Thanks alot for your reply. I was lost on this one! I would like to switch back to a filesystem based e-mail backend (maybe dovecot) - feels better to me. Furthermore I think that dbmail has no good pgsql support (it has some bugs with IMAP) - maybe you would like to try mysql instead (*hirgs*). I think that I may have to switch back to Mysql then. I heard that PostgreSQL is more scalable than Mysql. But I am not an experienced database user, so, please forgive my little knowledge. Why do you want to switch back to to a filesystem based e-mail backend? I suppose storing emails in a database should be more scalable and flexible in the long run? If you would like I can show you my configuration files and table structures. Of course, I would like to see your configuration files. In fact, I am dying to see it. I am planning my current setup to be used for a long term basis in a production environment for a very large user base. Me and my team are currently just designing and testing it out. It might take some time before we can put this server in production. Since I am very new to database terminology, how scalable is a database in terms of the data storage size. I mean suppose, we have 2 users each with a quota of 1 GB. What will eventually happen if they all used up their quotas. That will be about 20 TB in size!!

lang/php5 port present no options within sysinstall

Can't do an "make installworld"
Any help would be appreciated here. I'm on a clean 6.1-RELEASE sysem. I created /home/pxe. I cd'd to /usr/src. I gave 'make installworld DESTDIR=/home/pxe'. It ends with: . . . -- Installing everything -- cd /usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 install ===> share/info (install) install -o root -g wheel -m 444 dir-tmpl /home/pxe/usr/share/info/dir install:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share/info. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src.

Since I'm the only active user of my dbmail setup it's too oversized for this purpose. I think I can live with a small filesystem based postfix setup, too. Of course it will be more flexible in the long run but I have only a 1,2ghz machine as my main mailserver - simply it is too slow. > >If you would like I can show you my configuration files and table > >structures. > > Of course, I would like to see your configuration files.

That will be about 20 TB in size!! w00t - as you can see I'm just a little sysadmin managing his very own small mailserver.

I think one main 'problem' with dbmail will be that if your db crashes or stops working EVERYTHING is lost. You don't have these problems in this dimension with a filesystem based mailsystem.

There's no gnu-libtool, cause libtool doesn't have multiple versions in devel, I guess, so you'll need devel/libtool, which installs /usr/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4.

OT: PC VGA
Hi all! My apologies for posting off-topic to this list, but I really can't think of whither I *should* turn this question, and I think there ought to be people here in the know. The thing is, I've been wondering for the longest time how PC VGA really works. In particular, I'd like to know the mechanism that allows some random PCI card to be accessed through the standard VGA register addresses (0x3c0 and its ilk) and likewise for the VGA BIOS and the real mode "framebuffer" memory mapping, and also what software entity that sets that stuff up. Any links would be highly appreciated! The practical reason why I'm wondering these things is because I'm using several video cards in one of my computers, with one X.org server for each card, and every once in a while, it causes problems which I'm guessing is because one of the "secondary" (non-VGA-mapped) card's BIOS is trying to access the card through the normal VGA ports and accidentally hitting the VGA-mapped card. I am also more generally curious about what it takes to use several video cards independently on today's machines. But I'm holding a general interest in these things, so I'm not just wondering for pragmatical reasons. Also, in general -- are there any good web resources for these sorts of things (hardware standards in general)? I've been googling around quite a bit without being able to find anything good. I'd appreciate any replies!

but it is also available with the FreeBSD install CD

moving /home to new drive
Hello, I have just installed an additional drive to my FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p6 machine. I'd like to use this drive exclusively for /home. Currently /home is a link to /usr/home. Can I just mount (haven't done it yet) the new drive with the mount point /home then delete the symlink (?) and move the files from /usr/home to /home? Or do I need to delete the symlink first and only then try to mount the new drive as /home? Can it break something? Is the procudure safe? Thank you in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

> Or do I need to delete the > symlink first and only then try to mount the new drive as /home? - delete the symlink - create a directory /home - mount the new drive - copy the files You cannot mount a disk on a symlink and you cannot mount a disk until you have created the mount point.

The thing that has fixed it on every system has been to use portdowngrade to reset the nvidia driver to: nvidia-driver-1.0.8776 (possibly with an extra _4 in the portdowngrade list) Hope this helps. Awesome - will def try it. I ended up pulling my card out and just running the onboard - which works - but annoys me endlessly.

Delete everything inside /usr/home. Mount the new disk to /usr/home. Keeps your tree the same.

- verify the copy is successful
- mv /usr/home /usr/home_old
- create a symlink from /usr/home to /home - i DONT know whether this is
necessary or not, but if you want to keep things as seamless as possible, you'd
need it (i dont even know what is supposed to be the real path - i thought
/usr/home was the real thing and /home just a shortcut).
- test /home
- when happy, delete /usr/home_old (else you wont have made any room in the
other drive ;)
BTW, why not just
- mv /usr/home /usr/home_old
- mkdir /home
- mount [new_drive] /home
- copy -r /usr/home_old/* /usr/home/ ( make sure you use an appropriate
command for copying the data - cp does not handle special files correctly -
check the archives for discussions on this subject).
- test and deleted old copy ?

arrow key down works fine here. have you tried a different keyboard?
btw, u can use the scroll wheel of your mouse to scroll as well. - pg up + pg

FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT, firefox 2.0.x, and flash
Hi, I've tried this on and off over the years and I think I saw it work once back in the days of 4.9 or so. googling turns up things for 6.x, and firefox 1.5. ls -1 | egrep 'firefox|flash' firefox-2.0.0.4,1/ flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.13_1/ libflash-0.4.13_2/ What next ?
