Gary,

The following version should do what you want:

BEGIN {
ncnt = 0
prev = "BOF"
}
/^ *$/ {
ncnt++;
if (ncnt > 3) {
print "Emphasis at " NR ": " prev;
prev = "-multiple-"
ncnt = 0;
}
next;
}
   {ncnt = 0; prev = $0}

You can of course read "man hier" to obtain information about
the file system hierarchy. In settings where partitions are
used to separate functional parts of the hierarchy, there's
often not much stuff that goes into /, because / is primarily
reserved for the basic system and the mountpoints; things
like /tmp, /var, /usr and /home go to different partitions.

Check the content of /boot. Maybe you have more than one
kernel image and module files in there. You can as well use

# du -sch /

with only / mounted to get a first impression which subtrees
do occupy how much disk space.

In this case it's not really clearing the drive you are aiming for, it
is to write to every sector. If you have a failed sector (which you do),
writing to it will force the drive firmware to remap the sector. As far
as I know, most drives will not remap an unreadable sector until it is
written to.

Possibly, but in that case the SMART selftest should pass also. Have you

I don't think that readily addresses the OP's question. I personally
have never gotten 'flash', or most other add-ons to work Opera. It is
one of the main reasons that I discourage others from using it. It
suffers even worse on a Windows machine. RoboForm does not work with
the Opera browser. Opera has a closed architecture that does not allow
third party browser extensions.

I would strongly advocate the use of another browser.

*laughs* It makes me feel pretty good after reading how Mr.Schwartz
went about it. Before I got any replies I started to think about how
I'd do it and began to sketch out an algorithm on the kitchen floor.
(Largest black-board in my house.) The general approach was pretty
much the same; Recursive bucketing of pixels and generating averaged
values down to a user-defined finite limit.

Thanks to all who have replied thus far!

Replacing linux_base-fc-4_14 with linux_base-f10-10_1

[Jerry]

I presently have linux_base-fc-4_14 installed on a FreeBSD-7.2 machine.
Would there be any benefit installing linux_base-f10-10_1 instead? I
believe I have to remove the linux_base-fc-4_14 installation first. Are
there any pitfalls, etc? I assume I would have to rebuild any ports
that depended on the older version after installing the newer one.

What version is the default for FreeBSD-8.0 that will soon be released?

If it works for you, don't touch it. ;-)

As for benefits:
. use supported linux distributions (with security updates, etc.);
. hardware acceleration _may_ work (strange but at some cases it
works but not at others: googleearth works for me but has been
reported by someone not to work).

There is some info at /usr/ports/UPDATING.

FreeBSD-8 uses linux -f10- infrastructure ports.

It is of course entirely possible at this point, that the disk *is* full. 
Could you show: du -sxh / from single user mode, without anything mounted?

That would ensure that the offending file is not hiding behind a mountpoint. 
Like: /usr/hiding_here.

Did you guys miss Charlie Kester's message? And the above does not work, 
because of compression anyway. Just because you think of an image as a bitmap, 
does not mean it's stored as such.

I read you got it working so far, but if you want this resolved or diagnosed, 
the uname -a is mandatory and an ident /boot/kernel/if_ath.ko as well.

For one, there are widgets. For two, it still supports 
the nsplugin interface. For three, some people argue 
that allowing extensions access to local disk, network
threads and pretty much everything in the browser,
including the ability to fight wars with competing
products[1], is less preferable.

Then again, there are those who are not as paranoid as others. In any
case, Opera (and I have not tried the 10 version) is IMHO, not as
serviceable as many competing alternative browsers. However, if it
meets your needs, then so be it.

xorg: (EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard

Yes, I have a script that does precisely this (read master.passwd, smbpasswd
and group and create an LDIF to import into LDAP. This is now being used for
the migration of 1200 samba servers from backend=smbpasswd to backend=ldapsam.

Most important things is preserving the SID's (net getlocalsid) and group 
mappings
(net groupmap list). Windows clients will not notice any difference.

Sorry, but that is just bollocks.

Opera and Flash work perfectly well on Windows and Solaris (yep, there's a
native plugin). And Flash is a third party plugin, i.e. it is not provided
by Opera. If Adobe doesn't provide a native Flash plugin for FreeBSD that is
not Opera's fault.

And still there is no native FreeBSD plugin. If you can't get it to work you
should ask for some help.

Did you do the du without anything mounted? Cause you have the df output with 
mounts.
If you can't find the missing space, then I suggest making a backup of / with 
dump(8), booting from livefs and restoring the dump. The dump should not be in 
the 390M range, rather in the 40-50M range.

"turn authentication on" -- a simple how to please!!

[David Southwell]

My mailserver uses postfix and has a number of virtual domains. I am getting

Problems with module cx88

[Frank Wissmann]

Hi, folks!
Having installed a TV-card (WinTV HVR-1100) I now want to use it. there 
are currently two problems:


1. When I boot into KDE 3.5.10, my artsd is not starting giving the message:

"Can't open /dev/dsp - operation not permitted"

This is happening till I installed and loaded (via /boot/loader.conf) 
the modules under /usr/ports/multimedia/cx88. Are there any conflicts 
known which can be solved?


2. When I try to capture a video from my old tape-recorder with the command

cx88 -d /dev/cx88video0 -f name_of_movie.m2t -x /home/frank/cx88.xml

I get the following message:

[cx88] Warning: the -f option is deprecated; please instead use -u with 
a file:// URL prefix

[cx88] Unable to create cx88 video driver

What does that mean? I thought I had installed the drivers with the 
port. Can anybody point me to any web resource? I still found


http://corona.homeunix.net/cx88wiki

but it doesn't seem to fit my needs.

Greetings Frank

Normally this shouldn't occur if you are relaying yourself. Remote mail 
servers should not have authentication on for outside mail. This would only be 
the case if the remote postmaster considers his mailserver private and does 
not want to receive mail from unknown people.

Therefore, this should only happen if your relay via your ISP using the 
relay_host parameter in main.cf.

You question is probably better suited for the Postfix forum:
http://www.postfix.com/

In any case, you will need to post the output of:

postconf -n

Alternately, you can use: postfinger, available at:
http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger

You could also try reading the information at:

ACPI - works for wireless fails for mouse

[Eitan Adler]

On my laptop when I boot with ACPI enabled my wireless card works but
my mouse fails a few seconds after starting moused or X.  If I boot
without ACPI my mouse works but the wireless card fails.
Is it possible to disable ACPI for the mouse and only the mouse

"me" in ipfw rules - does it include aliases?

[Tom Worster]

the ipfw man page says:

  me   matches any IP address configured on an interface in the system.

which suggests that if i code my rules using "me" then when i add an alias
ip address to an interface with ifconfig, these "me" rules will immediately
work for the newly added address as they do for other addresses.

is that correct?

DIdn't think of this, but it doesn't seem to work in vi or vim.  i think i've 
got 
vim set to vi-mode.  anyway, the awk script that mark willson posted works.  

next time i'll put in something like XBREAKX  for my v-breaks.

I've always found a test restore works wonders for the peace of my mind.



Two types:



cd 

restore -Nrf 



To test that it all "appears" it ought to restore.  Then, 


cd 

restore -if  



To confirm a few files restore properly completely.

YMMV, and obviously check man restore!

There's no significant difference between "make deinstall" and
pkg_delete - the last time I checked there was only one port that
didn't use the default "make deinstall" target, which calls 
"pkg_delete -f".

Usually this kind of thing happens because files moved between
ports, and the best thing is to remove all of the affected ports before
upgrading. Normally there's an UPDATING entry advising this. 

The FORCE_PKG_REGISTER method is a bit of cludge, but I gather it also
works for this kind of build problem. I guess it allows a repeat install
when a package has lost files due to a transient conflict.

sounds like a good idea; how do i accomplish this?  also, what if i 
have 
a  konqueror running and sites running and the power goes out.
sometimes i want the apps to restart, not usually.  is it possible to
save Some programs state and let others go?

gary

ps:  i'm new to kde/gnome, but here on tao [freebsd] have mostly kde[3]
 going.  some cli tools, like mutt, are almost sacred.

Everything is working though.

how to get rid of a character, 0x80?

[Gary Kline]

anybody know why getchar() doesn't see 0x80 == 0200?  if getchar()
is limited to 7-bit characters, what then?

% od -c file 

shows me that every character fits into 8 bits, so getwchar() is the 
next thing.
but doesn't getwchar grab wide-chars only: 16 bits?

tia, guys,

gary

Hello,

First of, this isn't really a BSD question.
Second, if you have an example code we might be able to help.
Presumably, you want to read a capital C with cedille? (0x80 128 Ç)
Example from: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/getchar/
compiled on FreeBSD 7.2 with gcc 4.2.1 output:
"
Enter text. Include a dot ('.') in a sentence to exit:
sfeo
sfeo
Çsdfa
Çsdfa
"
besides.. 0x80!=0200
it's 0200 octal which is 128 decimal...
Might be why it doesn't work for you.
Greetz,
Mark

Re: Freebsd Built-in vacation program does not auto reply

[lyd mc]

Hi Andre,

I haven't solve it yet. I use the one in the ports tree 
(/usr/ports/mail/vacation) as my work around.

Now I use sieve script for vacation notice.

Do you have a patch? May be I can use it in the future... Thanks.

Best Regards,

alyd

Did you solve the problem already? I had a similar issue and
tracked it down to a really strange compiler bug...

No, I have a workaround. Do you have the sources to
compile vacation yourself? Can you recompile it without

-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing

and try again? And then recompile it with

-O2

and try this again?

Re: "me" in ipfw rules - does it include aliases?

[Nikos Vassiliadis]

Tom Worster wrote:

the ipfw man page says:

  me   matches any IP address configured on an interface in the system.

which suggests that if i code my rules using "me" then when i add an alias
ip address to an interface with ifconfig, these "me" rules will immediately
work for the newly added address as they do for other addresses.



is that correct?


Yes, the "me" keyword is expanded to whatever IP address is
assigned on any interface in the system. It's updated whenever
an IP address is added to or removed from an interface. Use the
simple ruleset bellow to test it yourself:

lab# ipfw list
00100 allow ip from me to me
65535 deny ip from any to any

add alias & ping alias => success
remove alias & ping alias => failure

It's a really useful keyword, yet it's not panacea. When
using it, one has to think the possibility of an attacker
who uses "me" addresses. Use some interface checking as
well in your ruleset...

Nikos
