Maybe it was trying to use another depth (like 16), and because it
wasn't present in a "Display" subsection it used all the available
modes by default.

You can only use the modes that are listed in "Modes", that's why you
can't switch to 1280x1024. You have to add "1280x1024" to the "Modes"
line (when not using DefaultDepth 24 it seems all modes are listed
there).

Then X will start in the higher resolution it can find in "Modes", to
solve this you can put in .xinitrc the following command (which will
change the resolution after X starts):

xrandr -s 1024x768

You can also see the list of available resolutions with that command
(without parameters).

If you have something like "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xfce" in .xinitrc be
sure to put the "xrandr -s 1024x768" command before it (the "exec"
replaces the shell by xfce, so everything after the exec will never
be executed).

For example (xorg.conf section with 1280x1024 added to Modes):

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   DefaultDepth 24
   Device "Card0"
   Monitor"Monitor0"
   SubSection "Display"
   Viewport   0 0
   Depth 24
   Modes   "1280x1024" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Hello,

I just want to add that I have been told that it is possible to use VNC
to connect to an active display.

"RealVNC will allow you to open a connection on an already open
display. All that is needed is to add a vnc module to X and some other
very simple modifications to the xorg.conf. The directions to do this
are located at: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html.
RealVNC is located in 'net/vnc'."

There is also 'net/vino' for Gnome.

NVidia GeForce 6600 problems

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have recently bought a GeForce 6600 video card, and sometimes (not
very often) I experience the following problem:

A little after starting X11 (for example when I start downloading
e-mails), the screen freezes a few seconds, after that the screen looks
like if widgets (buttons, text, etc.) aren't drawn, and the white
background of Sylpheed-Claws covers the screen. Then I am forced to
switch to the 1st console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), which takes around 30 seconds,
and then kill X11.

I have FreeBSD 5.4 release, Xorg 6.8.2 and nvidia-driver 1.0.8178.

I know this problem is with the driver, because I got this kernel
message:

NVRM: Xid: 8, Channel 
NVRM: Xid: 8, Channel 0020

And the Xorg log has the following:

(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0xe74c, 0xe75c, 0)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0xe74c, 0xe75c, 0)

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2,
should be 1; fixing.

If more information is needed just ask (and please tell me how to
obtain it).

What can I do? Should I update FreeBSD/Xorg?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I have recently (started yesterday, and finishing yoday) upgraded my
ports (including Xorg -> 6.9). If the problems persist I will try the
old dirver and post information about the error in the NVidia forums.

Hello,

It says the extension is enabled, but it seems it hasn't been
initialized / loaded. My output has a line (not directly) after it
indicating that the extension is initialized.

[...]
(==) RandR enabled
[...]
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR

Could you please check if you have it too?

Sorry, I don't know how to solve this. Maybe if you increase the
verbosity / debug level (I don't remember how to do it right now) of
Xorg, it will show something related to this.

Hello again,

I have discovered the problem: the lock of the AGP slot wasn't on
(when I changed the video card I forgot the lock isn't automatic as the
one in the memory slots).

I noticed this when the card was disconnected completely (it has a
cooler, so I guess the vibration did it). Once I rebooted and the
screen was black (the integrated video card was used instead of the
NVidia). Other time I saw the kernel message indicating the card was
detached and instantly detected again.

Ale

Well, that was part of the problem, but I still have errors with one
OpenGL application (I have tested others like Doom III and Enemy
Territory and didn't cause this): a Quake II engine called QuDos.
Sometimes I get the following:

Program output (QuDos):

Received signal 11, exiting...
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation) Major opcode of failed request:  135
(XFree86-VidModeExtension) Minor opcode of failed request:  10
(XF86VidModeSwitchToMode) Value in failed request:  0x122
  Serial number of failed request:  35768
  Current serial number in output stream:  35771

NVidia kernel module output:

NVRM: Xid: 8, Channel 0002
NVRM: Xid: 27,  L1 -> L0

There are two different clipboards (buffers):

One is used when you copy with the context menu (Right Click -> Copy) or
(usually) with Ctrl-C. This usually happenes in KDE/GNOME/GTK (etc.)
applications. The way to paste this buffer is with the context menu
(Right Click -> Paste) or (usually) with Ctrl-V.

The other is used when you just select text (like in console, or xterm).
To paste it press the middle mouse button. If you have only two, press
both at the same time.

Try using the middle mouse button (or both if only two). That worked for
me.

Hope that helps.

Using META and DEL keys in console

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have a PS/2 PC-101 keyboard.

I would like to use my META (ALT in my keyboard) key instead of ESC in
console mode. META works fine in an xterm. I also would like to use DEL
and others.

I read something in the manual pages of terminfo(5), gettytab(5),
etc.

I tried the following options:

:km:smm:dc:

But I am having these thoubles:

1) My ALT key did not work and the DEL key acts as BACKSPACE (C-h),
   but I would like to use it as C-d.

2) Some strange thing happens with Emacs in console mode: when I press
   DEL, it is interpreted (literally) as C-h, and C-h is used as
   BACKSPACE. And C-d acts as DEL.

3) Also DEL does not do anything in xterm.

Is there a more descriptive documentation of the terminal capabilities
listed in terminfo(5)?

Is there a standard configuration for PS/2 PC-101 keyboards?

Does xterm use a different configuration from console terminals?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

Thank you for your replies.

That is exactly what I want.

Where and how can I specify that mapping for console and xterm?

Thank you for your reply.

Where is the (complete) list of scancodes and which keys produce them?

If there is not, as I think, how can I know what scancode is produced by
each key in my keyboard (a program, maybe)?

Moving a slice

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have two IDE hard disks, the first has W2K and WXP, the second has a
GNU/Linux Debian Sarge (for booting purposes only) and a FreeBSD 5.3.

The Linux slice is the number 1, but the FreeBSD slice is number 4.
There is a long story behind this, when I was looking for UNIX like
Operating Systems (I had two Linux and one Linux Swap slices, but I
removed them). At the end I choose FreeBSD.

Here is my slice layout:

# fdisk -s
/dev/ad2: 79656 cyl 16 hd 63 sec
PartStartSize Type Flags
   1:  6320466747 0x83 0x00
   4:4094968538909430 0xa5 0x80

# fdisk
*** Working on device /dev/ad2 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=79656 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=79656 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 131 (0x83),(Linux native)
start 63, size 20466747 (9993 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 40949685, size 38909430 (18998 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63

There is a lot of free space after and before FreeBSD slice.

I would like to know if is possible to move the entire FreeBSD slice
(with 'dd', for example) to the end of the Linux slice, and then
change the starting point in the slice table, and then change '4' into
'2'. So there is no free space between the slices and the numbering is
correct.

I think 'dd' will not overrite some parts of the slice with others
because it is copying the data backwards, not forward.

Just for curiousity: Can I make 'dd' copy the data backwards (I mean,
the same result but instead of copying 1 to , 2 to +1,
etc.; copies  to , -1 to +1, etc.)? Is possible to
make such modification to 'dd'? I plan to use this to move a slice
forward.

I guess I will have to use a bootable CD to boot a FreeBSD system (like
FreeSBIE) to move the slice.

Here are my results in bytes to pass to 'dd' (are they correct?):

PartStart   Size
1:  32256   10478974464 (9993 Meg)
4:  20966238720 (19994 Meg) 19921628160 (18998 Meg)

What does the line "Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1"
mean? It is an error?

Does the filesystem has to do with the phisical location of the slice
(according to the BSD label I think is does not, because it uses
offsets, not absolute values)?

Do I have to modify other file than '/etc/fstab' (like a loader
configuration file)?

I appreciate any recommendations/considerations/instructions/warnings.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

It is just a patch (a file generated by diff(1) that outputs the
difference between two files, generally the original file, and the
modified file).

It just changes the value "268435455" to "268435454".

For more information see diff(1) and patch(1).

You have to patch the file '/usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-lowlevel.c' with:

# patch /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/ata-lowlevel.c 

And then recompile your kernel.

Personally I use the "traditional" way (procedure 1) for just compiling
the kernel.

Multisession CDs with 'burncd'

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

How can I burn multisession CDs with 'burncd'?

I have FreeBSD 5.3.

# atacontrol list

ATA channel 0:
Master:  ad0  ATA/ATAPI revision 6
Slave:  acd0  ATA/ATAPI revision 0
ATA channel 1:

I tried this:

== first session ==

% mkisofs -o proj.iso -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot Projects

# burncd -e -f /dev/acd0 -m -s 4 -v data proj.iso fixate

(works, I can mount it, read it, read it with Windows, and it appears
to close the session but not the disk)

== second session ==

# burncd -f /dev/acd0 msinfo

Thank you for your reply.

I am a bit confused with your answer (I think "start a new CD" and "add
to the CD" are swapped; I think a session on a new CD will not require
-C).

The manual page of burncd(1) says the following:

-C last_sess_start,next_sess_start

This option is needed when mkisofs is used to create the image of a
second session or a higher level session for a multi session disk.
[...]

Could you please send me the complete script if possible?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

Hello again,

I did not notice it but there were other discussions about this (and I
also had my own experience). You can also try the following (1 to 4
were copied from other posts):

1) Check if your hd is connected through a 80 pin ide cable (for
UDMA133).

2) Try disabling or changing the UDMA speed in BIOS settings.

3) Try using 'atacontrol mode 0' or 'atacontrol mode 0 udma33 biospio'
(as root). See 'man 8 atacontrol'.

4) Add the line 'hw.ata.ata_dma="0"' to '/boot/loader.conf'. I think it
is a persistant version of the previous procedure.

5) In my case I had an 80 GB Samsung hard disk (with an 80 pin IDE
cable) sharing the IDE channel with an internal Zip or CDROM (I
tried with both) slave drive and had similar errors when enabling
UDMA133 from the BIOS settings. There were a few errors even when
disabling UDMA from BIOS. Finally I removed the Zip/CDROM, leaving the
hard disk as the only drive in the IDE channel. Then the errors
dissapeared even at the highest UDMA speed. I did not try with software
('atacontrol', etc.).

Please let me know about the results you obtained.

P.S.: when you reply to someone about a list discussion please CC it to
the list.

Best Regards,
Ale

Hello,

Windows (and also a msdos filesystem, I think) needs a whole slice
(thoose you edit with 'fdisk', called "partition" by Windows) to install
(it does not understand a BSD slice with labels). You can also just
leave some free space in the disk (the BSD slice must not cover the
whole disk) and then Windows should create another partition (slice) to
install itself.

For example, I have the following slices (called "partitions" by
Windows) in my first disk:

#fdisk -s /dev/ad0

/dev/ad0: 77504 cyl 16 hd 63 sec
PartStartSize Type Flags
   1:  6337158282 0x0c 0x80 (fat32)
   2:3715834540949685 0x0f 0x00 (ntfs)

And the following in my second disk (ignore the numbering):

# fdisk -s /dev/ad2

/dev/ad2: 79656 cyl 16 hd 63 sec
PartStartSize Type Flags
   1:  6320466747 0x83 0x00 (ext2fs)
   4:4094968538909430 0xa5 0x80 (BSD slice)

Slice 4 is a FreeBSD slice containing (and only BSD slices have labels):

# bsdlabel /dev/ad2s4

# /dev/ad2s4:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:   52428804.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 
  b:  2045568   524288  swap
  c: 389094300unused0 0 # "raw" part,
don't edit  d:   524288  25698564.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 
  e:   524288  30941444.2BSD 2048 16384 32776 
  f: 35290998  36184324.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 

I think your partition layout is as follows (sizes in Mbytes):

| a 150 | b 1500 | d 5120 | g 9880 | e 20480 | f 20101 | END 0 |
   0   150  1650 6770 16650 37130 57231

So you will have to delete 'g', and move all the partitions before near
to 'd'. Or in the other direction. Change the slice size ('fdisk').
And then you will be able to create a slice for Windows. Note that I
have *never* tested this procedure and all recommendations I have
received are to back up the data, recreate all and then restore it. So I
do *not* recommend it.

When installing Windows keep this in mind: it will overrite the MBR, so
perhaps you want to install Windows first (and leave free space for
FreeBSD), otherwise you can restore it later with a bootable CD. It can
be done with 'sysinstall' or from command-line (you can use a LiveCD,
like the second FreeBSD ISO or FreeSBIE), there are instructions in the
Handbook, section "The FreeBSD Booting Process".

If something of this looks unclear mail me.

Hope that helps.

Best Regards,
Ale

P.S.: how did you do to resize the partition 'd' to put 'g' after it
(just changing the BSD labels)?

Hello,

If you want to use the free space of 'g' you will have to delete it and
collapse all the partitions near 'd'. But is *dangerous*, and in fact
there are *no* tools (I searched and it is often said) to resize
filesystems (even if you resize the partition, the filesystem thinks
the space is still assigned to it, I think). The only think I believe is
possible (with raw tools: 'dd') is moving partitions, but if you
are moving less space than the size of the partition itself, it is only
possible to do it backwards, and the copied bytes will be overritten
(after copied) so if the process is interrupted you will lose all the
data (half in the destination, the rest in the original place, and one
immediatly following the other).

I found a (possible) better way to do this:

1) Revert the changes with the partitions 'd' and 'g' (back-up, delete,
create only 'd', restore).

2) Save the data in 'f' ('/home') to somewhere (like '/usr').

2) Delete 'f' ('/home') and create it with less space (like 10 GB, or
less, if you do not need much space there).

3) Then the BSD label entry 'c' should have less size.

4) Use 'fdisk' to resize the slice. It should be equal to the size of
partition 'c' (that is not a real partition, but the size sum of all
of them). Then the slice must not cover the entire disk, and you will
be able to create a 'msdosfs' slice after it (in the unallocated space).

I never tried this and I do not know if it is possible, so I *recommend*
you to back up your data.

Good Luck!

Best Regards,
Ale

Hello,

I have a camera that is detected as an 'umass' storage device, and it
appears as '/dev/da0' (strangely I can use it as a common storage
device). This is my configuration:

kernel options:

device scbus
device da
device pass
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
device umass
device ehci

'/etc/rc.conf' options:

usbd_enable="YES"

To test it you can:

1) Check the devices in '/dev/daX'.
2) # camcontrol devlist
3) Check the boot messages (umass and da) and the messages printed when
you plug the device.

To mount it you have to select a slice (if it has data stored in):

mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt

Hope that helps.

Ale

No read permission on NTFS files shared by Samba

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 with Samba 3.0.7,1.

I can read all files from a Windows 2000 Pro. But when I try to access
a mount point that is an NTFS filesystem, I have no read permission
(files and directories appear as zero length files) until I access them
from the server machine (like doing an 'ls').

My configuration file is as follows:

= BEGIN =
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/12/11 19:24:02

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = VARNET
server string = FreeBSD 5.3
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No

[mnt]
comment = Mounted Filesystems
path = /mnt
guest ok = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[ale]
comment = Ale's Home DIrectory
path = /home/ale
guest ok = Yes
= END ===

Note: I have subdirectories under '/mnt' like 'w2k', 'wxp', 'cam', and
'tmp'.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

P.S.: How can I get a list of shares from a Samba server (using the
Samba utilities)?

Hello,

Try using 'fdisk' directly (man 8 fdisk) and see the complete error
messages.

For example, to delete the second slice (check the numbering with
'fdisk -s') save the following in a file and then run 'fdisk -f '
(but first try the test mode with the -t flag to see if it works as
expected):

p 2 0 0 0

Best Regards,
Ale

P.S.: what is the output of 'fdisk -s'?

Hello,

I do not know about that, but I think the best option is to do the
procedure manually, as indicated by Jerry.

Hello,

I think your configuration is fine.

I guess the problem is with the driver or maybe it needs some extra
configuration.

Your device is detected:

umass0: EXATEL  , Inc. I-BEAD Multi Player, rev
1.10/0.01, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0:  Removable Direct Access
SCSI-4 device
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 122MB (249856 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 122C)

I think the source of the problem are these lines:

umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED
umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, STALLED
umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, STALLED
[...last three lines repeated every minute or so...]

I do not know how to solve this, but perhaps someone will answer you in
the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' list.

Do not forget to provide the following information:

1) messages reported when booting/plugging/unplugging/
2) # camcontrol devlist
3) # usbdevfs -v
4) error messages (STALLED)
5) FreeBSD version and kernel options related to USB

Hello,

In my second disk I have free space between two slices so I tried the
procedure by myself.

When I did a 'bsdlabel -w /dev/adXsY' (without editing them) I ended
with a partition labeled 'a', and it instantly appeared in '/dev/'. Then
I did what you have done ('bsdlabel -e ') and it also appeared in
'/dev'.

I do not know about this, but maybe this helps:

1) Try with only 'bsdlabel -w '. The partition should appear as
'a'.

2) If the partition does not appear in '/dev/' then you can reinitialize
the ATA channel (0 or 1, I think your disk is in 0) your disk is in,
with 'atacontrol reinit '. For a list of ATA channels
with the devices do 'atacontrol list'.

***WARNING***: do ***NOT*** 'detach' and 'attach' the channel your
device your running hard disk (that contain the FreeBSD you are
running) is connected to (but you can safely 'reinit' it). A 'detach'
removes the disk and slices/partitions from the kernel and powers down
the devices in that channel, so FreeBSD will stall when it tries to
read/write on its partitions ('/', '/usr', etc.). I could detach and
atach it once (in less than 5 seconds), but the other time it crashed
my machine (I had to rewrite this mail three times, because I was
experimenting with 'atacontrol'). It is more safe to reboot the machine.

Ale

Hello,

Have you tried to reinitialize the ata channel before changing the
partitions?

Try unmounting '/dev' and mounting it again (forcing it with '-f').

If the problem persist, the only alternative is to reboot. Do you have a
dynamic IP? If that is the case it is possible to add a crontab entry
that executes a script on each system startup. The script can send you
an e-mail to you using the internal sendmail (must be enabled for that)
relay so it will contain the IP of your server (in the complete
headers). Alternatively the script can upload a file containing the
output of 'ifconfig' to an FTP site.

If you are interested you can ask me for more information.

Best Regards,
Ale

Re: format slice

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

Sorry I did not noticed it before, but your first slice must be of type
165 (or 0xa5 in hex), that is the type of FreeBSD slices.

It appeares as "unused". So try changing the type.

Hello,

The configuration file 'xorg.conf' can have the following settings (for
more information see xorg.conf(5)):

=

Section "ServerFlags"

[...]

Option"BlankTime""3"  # just blank the screen

Option"StandbyTime"  "5"  # DPMS state "stand by"
Option"SuspendTime"  "5"  # DPMS state "suspend"
Option"OffTime"  "5"  # DPMS state "off"

EndSection

Section "Monitor"

[...]

Option  "DPMS"  # enable DPMS

EndSection

=

The first 4 option lines (in section "ServerFlags") contain the name of
the option followed by the number of minutes of inactivity to wait
before activate them.

The last option (in section "Monitor") *must* be enabled for DPMS to
work.

In some monitors (like mine) all the DPMS states of inactivity are the
same, that turn off the monitor. The "BlankTime" indicated the time to
wait before displaying a black screen, not turning off (or suspend,
etc.) the monitor, like DPMS states do.

So im my monitor, after 3 mminutes of inactivity the screen will be
blanked, then, if I do not do anything, 2 minutes after that the monitor
will turn off.

The commands to try them are:

Try one DPMS state (choose one):

Hello,

If you have set up your BIOS settings properly (to boot from a CD, and
then from the disk), and it does not boot, maybe you just burned the ISO
as a normal file in the CD.

An ISO file is an image of the entire CD (it has a TOC, the
bootable part, etc.), and to burn it there should be an option on the
burning program (something containing the word "ISO", and a browser to
select a file).

Check this, if when you burn the cd and you read it you see only the ISO
file, it is not right. If you see a lot of directories like 'boot',
'packages', it is fine, and it should boot.

Best Regards,
Ale

Hello,

Have you tried changing the permissions of the directory when the MS-DOS
filesystem is not mounted, and after that mount it?

Hello,

I have free space between two slices to I tried to do the same as you.

When you have the image of a slice generated by 'dd', it contains its
partitions and filesystems. First you may want to make that slice image
(file) to appear in '/dev', so you can manipulate its partitions. This
is done (in FreeBSD 5.X, if you use 4.X use'vnconfig', there are
examples in the Handbook) like with a CD-ROM ISO image (see the
Handbook->Storage):

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f  -u 

It will appear in '/dev' as 'md', with its partitions, like the
following:

md1a
md1c
[...]

So you can mount them, dump them, etc., like with a slice (in fact,
it is an image of a slice).

When you end what you want to do with it, do (after unmounting the
partitions):

mdconfig -d -u

Hello,

Windows does not use NFS (natively), but it uses SMB networks (SMB is
the protocol). NFS usually comes with UNIX like systems (Linux, *BSD,
etc.).

The tool (server/client) for interacting with Windows networks is Samba.
It is available in the ports collection as 'net/samba' (version 2) or
'net/samba3' (version 3). The Samba version has nothing to do with the
protocol version, so you can install the one you want. The manual page
samba(7) lists all the client/server tools provided by the Samba
suite. It installs some documentation at '/usr/local/share/doc/samba/'.

For more information about Samba (docs, exmaples, etc.):

http://www.samba.org/

To configure a Samba server there are basic instructions at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html

But if you just want to mount a SMB share, you can use the type 'smbfs'
with mount (no port installation required). Alternatively you can use
the client programs that come with Samba.

Exmaple:

mount -t smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /mnt
or
mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /mnt

See mount_smbfs(8) for more information (IP, WORKGROUP, etc.).

sh interactive?

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

How can I use 'sh' as an interactive shell?

My configuration files are the defaults.

The file '.profile' has the following:

[...]
# set ENV to a file invoked each time sh is started for interactive use.
ENV=$HOME/.shrc; export ENV
[...]

The file '.shrc' has the following:

[...]
# Enable the builtin emacs(1) command line editor in sh(1),
# e.g. C-a -> beginning-of-line.
set -o emacs
[...]

However it does not read '.shrc' even if I call it with '-i'.

Will this work if I use 'sh' as my default shell (I use 'tcsh')?

pcm device numbering

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have two sound cards:

SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec) - 'snd_ich'
Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738) - 'snd_cmi'

The first is integrated in the motherboard, and it is detected first and
used as the default output device (pcm0). The second it detected after
the first, so it is used as the second output device (pcm1).

I want to use my second sound card as the default output device. I tried
using the loader.conf variables "*_after" and "*_before", but they
always load them before booting the kernel, so the integrated card is
detected first and assigned to the default output device (pcm0). So I
have the drivers as modules, and load the driver for the second card
when booting the kernel, and then from the command line I load the
driver for the integrated card.

Is there a (clean, if possible) way to do this (with 'device.hints', or
rc scripts)?

Here is the relevant output of 'pciconf -vl' (after loading the
drivers in the desired order):

Booting from the second disk

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have two IDE disks with the following Operating Systems:

IDE-0 --> ad0s1 --> Windows XP Pro
  ad0s5 (extended) --> Windows 2000 Pro

IDE-1 --> ad2s1 --> Debian Sarge (managing LILO at IDE-1)
  ad2s4 --> FreeBSD 5.3

I boot from the second disk. I have LILO in the MBR because it is
capable of "swapping" disks when loading the operating system (Windows
does not boot because it thinks the disk which the computer boots is the
first disk, and boot.ini refers to the other disk).

So I have to put the following:

other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80

Or:

other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows
boot-as=0x81

Can I do something similar with other Boot Managers (FreeBSD's Boot
Manager, GRUB, etc.)

Which is the better recommended multi-boot layout (with two hard
disks)?

Samba problems

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 with Samba 3.0.7,1.

I can read all files from a Windows 2000 Pro. But when
I try to access a mount point that is an NTFS filesystem, I have no read
permission (files and directories appear as zero length files) until I
access them from the server machine (like doing an 'ls').

My configuration file is as follows:

= BEGIN =
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/12/11 19:24:02

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = VARNET
server string = FreeBSD 5.3
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No

[mnt]
comment = Mounted Filesystems
path = /mnt
guest ok = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[ale]
comment = Ale's Home DIrectory
path = /home/ale
guest ok = Yes
= END ===

Note: I have subdirectories under '/mnt' like 'w2k', 'wxp', 'cam', and
'tmp'.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using the security level "SHARE" with "guest" enabled (I have only
two machines on my network).

The mounts are accessible by normal users (like "ale"), the permissions
in '/mnt/w2k/' are 'rwxr-xr-x', the owner is "root" and group "wheel".

I would like to add that I also have another share that is a FAT32
partition (WinXP) and I can browse it from the other machine (like
everything else).

I tried to map the guest account to the user "ale" that I use (and I can
access '/mnt/w2k'), but nothing happened.

This only happens in a NTFS mount point. The files and directories show
as truncated, and I can not "see" (determine size, copy, determine
if it is a file or directory, etc.) them until I do an operation over
them with any normal user in the server, then I can see the files/dirs
affected by the operation I did (ls, etc.). Before I only see the
entries (names) without attributes (permissions, directory flag, etc.).

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

I even tried mapping the guest account to root but it still does not
work.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

My guest user is 'nobody', but I also tried with 'ale' and 'root' (wich
owns the mount point).

The directory '/mnt/w2k' is owned by 'root' and the group 'wheel', the
permissions are rwxr-xr-x.

Y have the same strange dates.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I saw in SWAT that the connection from the other machine was mapped to
the desired local user in all cases (I tried "nobody", "ale" and
"root"). I used "guest account = ".

Something strange is happening: I can access the sahre '/mnt' (and
'w2k') with 'smbclient' (using the 'guest' user), but if I do it with
'mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mnt /home/ale/tmp' then the problem appears,
even with 'root' (I can not see/access entries until I list them with
any user from '/mnt/w2k').

I think the problem is with Samba, not 'mount_smbfs'.

This message appears (many times) in debug level 0:

pcm device numbering

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have two sound cards:

SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec) - 'snd_ich'
Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738) - 'snd_cmi'

The first is integrated in the motherboard, and it is detected first and
used as the default output device (pcm0). The second it detected after
the first, so it is used as the second output device (pcm1).

I want to use my second sound card as the default output device. I tried
using the loader.conf variables "*_after" and "*_before", but they
always load them before booting the kernel, so the integrated card is
detected first and assigned to the default output device (pcm0). So I
have the drivers as modules, and load the driver for the second card
when booting the kernel, and then from the command line I load the
driver for the integrated card.

Is there a (clean, if possible) way to do this (with 'device.hints', or
rc scripts)?

Here is the relevant output of 'pciconf -vl' (after loading the
drivers in the desired order):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7:  class=0x040100 card=0x70121849 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0

hdr=0x00vendor   = 'C-Media Electronics Inc.'
device   = 'CMI8738/PCI C3DX PCI Audio Chip中国'
class= multimedia
subclass = audio

I am posting this question again because I did not get a response. If I
should ask this question somewhere else please inform me.

Hello,

The 'exec' builtin (internal shell command) replaces the current process
image (the shell itself) by the program in the argument. Instead of
executing it as a children (separated) process, so when the process
finishes it returns back to the shell (like typing a command). So when
the shell replaces itself with 'unclutter', it is not the shell anymore,
so it never comes back to execute 'enlightenment'.

The solution can be to run the first command in the background
(apart from the shell) like this:

unclutter -root &
exec enlightenment

See sh(1) (section 'exec' and 'jobs').

Hello:

I have tried the following and it worked for me (I am not sure about the 
correctness of redirecting input/output to/from a terminal device).

This is the script (with comments included):

- BEGIN -

#!/bin/sh

# Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2005

# Shell script to start a connection to another host using telnet and
# keep the connection "alive". While the telnet session is running,
# this shell script will also be running.
# It uses redirection operators (pointing to the current TTY to avoid
# blocking 'stdin'), and a FIFO (pipe) to communicate the reader
# program (cat) with the telnet program.
# To exit you have to end the telnet process ('quit' command) and
# then input an ENTER or ^D (EOF) character to 'cat' (so it ends).

# Example values are prefixed with "example-" (change them to real ones).

FIFO="tmp-fifo"
HOST="example-host"
USER="example-user"
PASS="example-pass"
PORT=""# leave empty for default (23)
TTY=`tty`

# To communicate telnet and TTY.
mkfifo $FIFO

# Start telnet, reading from the FIFO and outputting everything to
# the current TTY. Wait 3 seconds, log in, wait 3 seconds and run
# cat, that reads from the TTY and outputs to the FIFO (that is
# read by telnet).

telnet -l $USER $HOST $PORT < $FIFO 2>&1 > $TTY &
sleep 3; echo $PASS > $FIFO; sleep 3;
cat > $FIFO < $TTY

# Clean up (delete FIFO).
rm $FIFO

# Exit.
exit 0

I have experienced the same problem while playing a flash movie (the DOOM 3 
trailer). I think it is the linux plugin emulation (linuxpluginwrapper).

I solved this by installing a linux browser (like 'linux-mozilla', 
'linux-opera' or 'linux-mozillafirebird') with 'linux-flashplugin-x'. So there 
is not a plugin wrapper between the browser and the plugin. That should work 
like in Linux.

If you use Java, the linux browser will use (one of) the linux JDKs. So you 
will have to enable 'linprocfs' in fstab.

The port 'linux-mozillafirebird' indicates that is works with 
'linux-flashplugin-6' and 'linux-blackdown-jdk14'. Others except 'linux-opera' 
appear to do not have Java support.

In my FreeBSD-5.3 I have 'linux-opera' with 'linux-flashplugin-7' and 
'linux-sun-jdk-1.4' (I saw the falsh movie, even in full-screen mode). And I 
also have 'linuxpluginwrapper' and 'jdk-1.4' (native) for the native version of 
'mozilla'.

nsgml error: Undefined symbol "_ZNK6Origin14asEntityOriginEv"

Hello,

I installed 'docproj-jadetex' to learn how to make Docbook documents (in SGML).

Sorry, I made a mistake: the program that generated the error message was 
'jade' (port is 'print/jadetex'), not 'nsgmls'.

Sorry, I was tired and I made mistakes and forgot a couple of things.

I have FreeBSD 5.3 (from a fresh installation), and I never updated my 
system/ports. I installed 'jade' from a package: jade-1.2.1_8.

I solved the problem. The reason was that I installed 'sp' (textproc/sp) from a 
package (sp-1.3.4) (as the 'fdp-primer' says) and it overrited (without saying 
it conflicts with 'jade') the following programs/libraries:

bin/nsgmls
bin/sgmlnorm
bin/spam
bin/spent
bin/sx
[ header files in include/sp ]
lib/libsp.a
lib/libsp.so.1

So the missing symbol was in '/usr/local/lib/libsp.so.1' (which was overritten 
by 'sp'):

nm /usr/local/lib/libsp.so.1 | grep _ZNK6Origin14asEntityOriginEv
0009cf04 T _ZNK6Origin14asEntityOriginEv

While doing that in the library from 'sp' outputs nothing.

This is strange: 'fdp-primer' says one need to install it, but it replaces 
binaries without warning and finally 'jade' does not work.

Hello,

The command to create packages of the ports installed in the system is 
pkg_create(1), it is used with the "-b" option (in this case), like this:

pkg_create -b 

The name of the installed port is as outputed by pkg_info(1).

The default format is .tar.gz (.tgz), but the "-j" option allows to use bzip2.

I made a (simple) shell script to create packages of all the ports installed in 
the system.

--BEGIN--
#!/bin/sh

# Shell script to create packages of all the ports installed in the system.
# Usage: 'sh package-ports.sh'
# Will create the packages in the current directory.

PORTS=`pkg_info | awk '{print $1}'` # Filter the description.
NUM_PORTS=`echo "$PORTS" | awk 'END {print NR}'`
BZIP="-j"   # Use bzip2 instead of gzip.
PKGCMD="pkg_create $BZIP -b"# Command to create package.

echo "Packaging $NUM_PORTS ports"

# Process one port at time.

for PORT in $PORTS
do
echo "Packaging port \"$PORT\""
$PKGCMD $PORT
done

echo "Done"

exit 0
--END

To use it create a directory to store the packages (like 'mkdir packages'),
save the script there and run it with 'sh

Thank You.

Y saw the use of '$(( expr ))' some time ago in 'Advanced Bash Scripting

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 and it also works in '/bin/sh'.

Shell file completion

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I was learning regular expressions, and I noticed that the shell has something 
similar (but it is different from regular expressions).

When I type 'echo *', it replaces '*' for all the files/dirs not starting with 
a '.' (dot).

I understand the '*' in regular expressions must be preceded by other thing to 
match it.

So it is behaving like the DOS wildcards.

Where is it documented?

I am using Sylpheed-Claws, and it appears to be wrapping at 78 characters. But

turned it off and change the wrapping to 72 characters.

Extracting boot sectors

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I would like to know how to extract the MBR to a file, and how to
restore it. Also I would like to know how to do the same with the
partition boot sector and OS loaders.

I think it is as follows (I remember this from somewhere):

dd if=/dev/ of=/ bs=512 count=1

But I do not know:
a) Is 512 the correct size for both (MBR and partition boot sectors)?
b) How to extract/restore the OS loader (e.g. for WinNT/2K/XP, that is
NTLDR)?
c) What alternative commands are available for doing this
(extact/restore)?

I would also like to know more about boot sectors and OS loaders. I
would appreciate some links.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I did not mention it, but I have an English (pc-104) keyboard.

How can I do to use the Spanish accents with the English keyboard?

And can I use the characters I do not have (like "¿")?

Sorry for replying to my own post but I found
the solution (for English keyboards):

=
Using non ASCII standard characters under X11
=

Keyboard Configuration:

Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"

=

Possible combinations:

Alt + 
Shift + Alt + 
Shift, Alt + 

Notes:

The Alt to be pressed is the right one.

The string  has to be replaced with a key,
with or without Shift.

Alt +  means to press and hold the Alt key
and then press .

Shift + Alt +  means to press and hold the
Shift key, press and hold the
Alt key, and press .

Shift, Alt +  means to press and hold the
Shift key, press and hold the Alt key, release
the Shift key and press .

=

Some common characters:

á   Shift, Alt + ', 
â   Alt + ', 
ä   Shift + Alt + ', 
à   Shift, Alt + `, 
ã   Shift + Alt + `, 
ñ   Shift + Alt + `,

Generating Linux binaries under FreeBSD

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

Is there a way to compile a C program, but generating a Linux binary
instead of a FreeBSD one?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

It is what I expected (to use the Linux emulation to run the compiler).

But is there a FreeBSD port of it (I do not think that)?

Can I use the Linux packaging tools (for example rpm with
linux-base-rh*, and dpkg with linux-base-debian)? How?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Hello,

If you think the problem is on your ISP DNS servers, you have two
alternatives:

1) Set up a local DNS server on all the machines of the network.

2) Set up a DNS server on one machine, that answers queries to all the
   machines of the network.

If you want more detailed information about them (like how to set them
up), ask me.

Hello,

The problem here is that

num_ip="(printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g')"

makes num_ip equal to

(printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g')

instead of its output.

To assign the output of a command use "`":

num_ip=`(printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g')`

Also the subshell (the "()") is not needed:

num_ip=`printf $raw_ip | sed 's/\.//g'`

Hope that helps.

Hello,

The problem here is that single quotes ("'") avoid variable
substitution. e.g.

var="text"
echo $var   # outputs text
echo '$var' # outputs $var (literally)

Also the backslash avoids variable substitution when placed before a
"$". e.g.

echo $var   # outputs text
echo \$var  # outputs $var (literally)

The solution is this:

ret_ob=`printf "$ret_ob" | sed "s/$std_text//g"`
   ^  ^   ^

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I do not have ipfw, and I do not know how the rules are supposed to be,
and how they have to be processed.

Could you please send me some example rules, and the expected output to
be assigned to "ruleno"?

Hello,

You need to run "rndc-confgen", and save the output in a temporary file.

Then you have to look at it: there is one part to be put to
"/etc/namedb/named.conf" and the other to "/etc/namedb/rndc.conf".

Example:

% rndc-confgen

= add to /etc/namedb/rndc.conf =

# Start of rndc.conf
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "zCgi4/rmS+O0ZENRWk22SQ==";
};

options {
default-key "rndc-key";
default-server 127.0.0.1;
default-port 953;
};
# End of rndc.conf

= add to /etc/namedb/named.conf =

# Use with the following in named.conf, adjusting the allow list as
needed: # key "rndc-key" {
#   algorithm hmac-md5;
#   secret "zCgi4/rmS+O0ZENRWk22SQ==";
# };
# 
# controls {
#   inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
#   allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
# };
# End of named.conf

IIRC before FreeBSD 5.4 there was a "ndc" (like rndc, but only local and
did not need setup). The "rndc" is for remote control (however it can
also be used as local with the loopback address 127.0.0.1).

The key is randomly generated (automatically), and it has to match in
the two files.

After that the connection will be allowed (however the "start" command
does not exist, you have to start it manually - "named" - and then you
can control it with rndc).

The file rndc.conf has to be placed on the machine you want to control
the name server from. But if it is not the same machine that runs the
name server, you have to put its IP address instead of 127.0.0.1.

The "inet" statements in named.conf specifies the IP address the name
server will listen (for rndc). You will have to put here the IP address
of the machine (and the localhost to be controled locally) in the
network to be controlled from other machines.

The "allow" statement in named.conf specifies from which hosts you can
(remotely) control the name server. The address 127.0.0.1 is the
loopback (internal address), but you can add the IP address of other
machines too (note that they need the rndc.conf file set appropiately).

If you have questions about this ask me.

If you want examples I can provide you some.

Then let me know if you want option 1) or 2) so I can help you with the
next step. 

1) Have an independent DNS server on each machine (there is one for
   Windows called TreeWalk - free -, that is the same as named).

2) Put a DNS server on *one* machine, and that DNS server is used by all
   the machines on the network.

Hope that Helps.

Ale

Hello,

If you want to include the first two digits you have to remove the two
zeros from the pattern.

ruleno=`ipfw list | sed -n -e "s/\([0-9]*\) $target/\1/p"`
 ^^

This is because in the other pattern when the rule number does not start
with "00" then it will not be matched and nothing will be returned.

Explanation:

The 's' is the substitute command, '/' is the operand separator, the
'\(' and '\)' construct saves the text it matches in the register '\1',
'[0-9]*' matches any number of digits (even 0 of them), $target is
replaced with the contents of the shell variable. All of that is
replaced by just the text matched between '\(' and '\)'. The 'p' flag
causes the line (after substitution, that is, the text between '\(' and
'\)') to be printed (and assigned to ruleno).

Hope that helps.

The SiS chipset I have has xvideo support, but the Via I had did not

Hello,

As others said, you can use VNC with Xorg. See the ports.

However,  if you want to share with VNC a display that is already
active, for example the Gnome desktop you are working on, you can try
'net/x11vnc' (other VNC servers open a new display).

IIRC Gnome (and/or KDE) has an utility to share the desktop, based on
VNC.

Epson Stylus C65

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have tried to make this non-Postscript printer work on FreeBSD
without success. It is connected by USB and appears as '/dev/ulpt0'.

I have tried 'apsfilter' with Gimp-Print drivers for Epson Stylus C64,
but it only printed some ',' characters at the left.

I remember it worked with a Knoppix Linux live CD, where I selected the
printer from the KDE printer setup (with CUPS). I don't know what filter
it was using (Gimp-Print, Foomatic, etc.). Also in FreeBSD I dind't see
the same long list of printers (probably they weren't from CUPS, but
added from elsewhere, like Foomatic or Gimp-Print).

What can I do to make it work?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your filter (most times by doing it manually), but I can't get
it working. I tried "ijs" and "stp" (Gimp-print), and many Cxx printer
versions.

BTW the script you are using is very similar (if not equal) to the
command "apsfilter" calls (that is "gs") at the end.

I only get some "

The Ink levels work, but by Parallel. When I tried by USB, my computer

High disk load +mount/atacontrol/NFS/SMBFS crashes the system

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello.

I have experienced the following problem a couple of times in 2
different machines and FreeBSD versions (see below): when the disk is
continuously reading/writing my system becomes unstable (it's not an
everyday thing, but quite frustrating when it happens) and sometimes
crashes.

When copying from another machine by NFS/SMBFS more than one file at
the same time (or when using the disk, like during a filesystem check
in the background) often crashes (and the disk light indicator turns
off). Running "atacontrol ad0 mode UDMA100" when it was UDMA133 crashed
the system (the disk activity indicator was always on) when I tried to
solve the problem that way. Also when I was installing a port which
installs many files on the second machine without using NFS/SMBFS,
trying to mount a local NTFS filesystem (with kernel driver) crashed.

The first machine is an Athlon XP 2400+ with FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and
custom kernel (see below) and the second one a new Athlon64 X2 3500
with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE running in i386 mode, with generic SMP kernel.
See the boot messages and kernel config here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~alepulver/disk-crash.tar.bz2

Also I got (only twice, when checking the filesystem after one of these
crashes) the following error on the first machine, that I don't know if
it's related or not to the previous problems:

fsync: giving up on dirty
0xc51d6990: tag devfs, type VCHR

I would appreciate any help.

Help with Makefile

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I am making a port of Quake III Arena SDK: it installs game sources,
tools to produce QVM files, and a Makefile.

The original game source comes with the "cons" building system and I am
trying to write a Makefile to replace it. I have troubles while
writting the Makefile.

Here is what I want to do:

* Use a directory for compiled/temporary/object files (e.g. "build").
* Dependency support (now targets are recreated all the time).
* Automatic dependency support (e.g. "mkdep").
* Handle the suffix problem when "qvm" and "so" targets are built at
  the same time.

Here is the description of the build steps (see the Makefile for
implementation):

For building the shared object just compile the C sources listed in
(CGAME|GAME|UI)_SRCS_SO and put them together with "cc
-shared ..." (I think this could be handled with bsd.lib.mk).

For building the QVM you should first create bytecode files (assembly)
from the sources listed in (CGAME|GAME|UI)_SRCS_QVM with q3lcc (note
that there are also some .asm files listed in the sources - one per
module cgame, game and ui - that don't need to be modified), then
assemble all the produced files with q3asm.

Here is what I have (attached):

Makefile.bz2   -Last try.
Makefile.orig.bz2  -Previous try (uses a build directory but
doesn't handle dependencies and can't build qvm
and so at the same time - suffix problem).
Makefile.gnu.bz2   -Works fine, but it is for gmake (and for an
older version: 1.29h, this one is 1.32, however
the only change could be sources names/files).
quake3-sdk.tar.bz2 -Port that installs game source (where the
Makefile has to be put) and the tools.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

is the correct place to do it.

pcm device numbering

[Alejandro Pulver]

Hello,

I have two sound cards:

SiS 7012 (C-Media Electronics CMI9739 AC97 Codec) - 'snd_ich'
Genius Sound Maker Value 5.1 (CMedia CMI8738) - 'snd_cmi'

The first is integrated in the motherboard, and it is detected first and
used as the default output device (pcm0). The second it detected after
the first, so it is used as the second output device (pcm1).

I want to use my second sound card as the default output device. I tried
using the loader.conf variables "*_after" and "*_before", but they
always load them before booting the kernel, so the integrated card is
detected first and assigned to the default output device (pcm0). So I
have the drivers as modules, and load the driver for the second card
when booting the kernel, and then from the command line I load the
driver for the integrated card.

Is there a (clean, if possible) way to do this (with 'device.hints', or
rc scripts)?

Here is the relevant output of 'pciconf -vl' (after loading the
drivers in the desired order):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:7:  class=0x040100 card=0x70121849 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0

I am posting this question again because I did not get a response. If I
should ask this question somewhere else please inform me.

Hello,

You can try copying the ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf from RH 8.0.

If it is a symlink (probably) just link ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf to your
favourite font (the font directories are usually under
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/").

Hope that helps.

Ale

Hello,

The first time I installed mplayer and it prompted me for that file I
symlinked it to a font (you can do that instead of copying it),
but I was not sure about if that works (I never played a movie with
subtitles).

I do not know anything about the plugin but this links might be useful
(they point to the local version of the MPlayer manual):

file:///usr/local/share/doc/mplayer/control.html#ctrl-cfg
file:///usr/local/share/doc/mplayer/devices.html#af_volume

Hope that helps.

P.S.: I have made a CC to you as the header indicates, but it was
returned to me with the message: 550.biz spam not wanted.

Hello,

This is from fdisk(8):

CONFIGURATION FILE

[...]

a slice

Make slice the active slice.  Can occur anywhere in the config file, but
only one must be present.

Example: to make slice 1 the active slice:

a 1

Hello,

I watch downloaded movies (in fact, I only saw the Lord Of The Rings
trailer, some AVIs outputed by a SEGA genesis emuator that I reencoded
with mencoder and a few more).

Does it crash with the plugin or alone? Does it crash when you are
watching a movie (can you watch that movie with another player, for
example xine)?

If you are using the GTK2 User Interface try using the GTK1 interface
(it crashed a lot on my machine).

P.S.: now I am sending from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (really I am using the
same relay but the header "From:" is different, you can reply me to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] because it is an alias - forward recipe)

Real Player 10 is available in ports.

The only ports that use win32-codecs are:

multimedia/avifile
multimedia/mplayer
multimedia/mplayerxp
multimedia/xine
multimedia/xmps-win32-plugin

As outputed by:

find /usr/ports -type f -name Makefile -exec fgrep \
'win32-codecs' /dev/null {} \;

I visited MPlayer and Xine websites and they seem to support streaming
(maybe Xine works??).

Good Luck.

Hello,

If the port uses the OPTIONS variable (in the Makefile) the
configuration is at "/var/db/ports/", and you can change it
with "make config", show it with "make showconfig" and remove it with
"make rmconfig".

If the port uses a shell script (ports that have a subdirectory called
"scripts" with a file usually called "config"), it usually creates a
file called "Makefile.inc" in the port directory, that is included by
the port Makefile and it is removed when you do a "make clean".

Hello,

Try this:

find /your/path -type f -name "*.tar" -exec cp {} /destination/dir \;

/your/path - put here the root path to operate on

-type f - type f means to search for "files"

-name "*.tar" - search for anything (*) ending in ".tar" (shell pattern)

-exec cp {} /destination/dir \; - execute the command "cp 
/destination/dir" replacing "" with each file found (one at time).
The '\' is to escape the ';' (so it is not interpreted by the shell as a
command separator). 

It is also posible to do much more complex functions with 'find'. For
more information see "man find".

Hope that helps.

Ale

Hello,

I think you have to add "-t cd9660" (like when mounting a normal CDROM,
otherwise FreeBSD tries to mount it as a normal UFS filesystem).

mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2

Hope that helps.

Hello,

You can try using GAG, a Graphical Boot Loader which does not need a
slice or partition for installing (it uses a special part of the disk,
reserved for things like that), it can be configured while booting,
self uninstalled (restoring the previous bootloader) and supports a lot
of operating systems. Of course, it is free and open-source.

http://gag.sourceforge.net/

It is the *best* bootloader (for booting more than one operating
systems) I have found (I have tried BootMagic, Lilo and Grub).

Ale
