Re: How to mount USB memory (Thumb Drive) and then to copy files

2007-10-16 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
1. plug in the drive
2. read your dmesg, look for device such as da0 (for me)
3. su as root, run "mount_msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt
then check /mnt, u should be able to use it now
after u finish,
4. umount -f /mnt

portmaster question

2007-10-25 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
hi,
   i been using portmaster for a while when upgrading my ports, often
times when there are some problems in certain ports, e.g. jdk, i will
use "-x jdk" so i can deal with it later. but when there are two or
more of them that need special attention, i cant find a way to do it
right, i tried "-x A -x B", this seems only to register B as
neglected; "-x A B" void B in neglect. can someone show me the way??
thanks!!

Re: Re: port upgrade problem: libncurses.so.5.6 not found

2008-11-13 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
as I look into my system, under /usr/local/lib, I found out that I not
only don't have libncurses.so.5.6, but instead I have
libncurses.so.5.7. And this file was created this morning (Nov 13,
09:03) while I was trying to upgrade my ports. Odd

I am running freebsd 7.0, as my uname tells me..

2008-11-13 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
yes, I found libncurses.so under /usr/lib, which is actual linked to
libncurses.so.7 under /lib. And I also have libncurses.so.6 too. I did
upgrade my system from 5 to 6 to 7. I didn't do a clean install, since
there is so many to back up.

Re: port upgrade problem: libncurses.so.5.6 not found

2008-11-16 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi all,
   I was rebuilding all my ports due to an error in my library. After
a couple days, I think most of the ports were rebuilt, but some remain
(skipped, error, etc).  I then try to rebuild myself (by doing make
deinstall; make reinstall). I started with mplayer. The compilation
succeeded, but can't "make deinstall" my existed port:

# make deinstall
===>  Deinstalling for multimedia/mplayer
===>   Deinstalling mplayer-0.99.11_8
pkg_delete: package 'mplayer-0.99.11_8' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway):
linux-mplayerplug-in-3.50_1
mencoder-0.99.11_2
mkxvcd-2.0.2_5
smplayer-0.6.4
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
*** Error code 139

Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer.


it didn't give me too much to trouble shoot, any help from you guys is
appreciated.

Re: ZFS Recovery Tools

2008-11-20 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi,
  I was just reading stuff about ZFS, and wonder if it would be
beneficial for me to use it. I store a lots of multimedia files in my
HD, they usually have the size of > 1GB (e.g. 1.2, 1.7 or even
bigger), and my system is running UFS.
  so can I buy a new HD, say 500GB, and format it ZFS style and use it
along with other UFS? and will ZFS performs better than UFS in my
situation? Thank you!!

Re: Update a package

2008-11-26 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
from /usr/ports/UPDATE, you need to rebuild all ports...

AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU)
AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.17, the shared library version
  of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that
  depend on gettext:

# portupgrade -rf gettext
# portmaster -r gettext\*

  Given the scope and sheer number of dependent ports, it may be more
  advisable to simply blow away all existing install ports (after
  keeping any local configuration changes), and rebuilding from scratch.

good luck!!

cant add up,


Filesystem SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on

there should be more disk space available based on what is shown. why
is this like that??

Hi,
I am thinking upgrading my hardware to core2 duo to enjoy fbsd
7.0, my old 6.3 runs on amd64 3400+. If I just buy a new m-board+core

x server abort

2006-01-12 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
hi,
   these days I encountered some problem with my xorg 6.8 server. What I
remember now is that after I upgrade my apps by "portmanager -u", somehow
the X server failed during the launch of some apps, like bzflag and vmd. I
checked the xorg.log file, and the only thing I got is:
[snip]
(WW) fcntl(10, O_ASYNC): Inappropriate ioctl for device

   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for
help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional
information.
[snip]
not so much to debug. I am running 6.0-STABLE and all my xorg installation
are current as checked by portmanager. The only old install is
xorg-fontserver-6.8.2, which has a newer version as 6.8.2_1, thx!!

mencoder/mplayer slower on freebsd 6.0-amd64

2006-01-18 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi,
   I don't know if this is related, but I noticed that, when I run "mkxvcd"
under amd64, it takes longer time to finish a movie conversion. I didn't do
a side-by-side comparison between amd64 and i386 system, but usually a job
will take less than an hour to finish on i386 would take more than that
(usually like 2 hours) on the amd64.
   mkxvcd calls up mplayer/mencoder to do the conversion, while running the
command, it prompted:
[code]
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: Socket operation on non-socket
[/code]
is this the problem?

"./sshd start" then nothing

2005-03-08 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi, 
  I am trying to enable sshd on my freebsd5.4 prerelease (I didn't
realize this when I cvsup the stable source). Anyway. I read something
in the mailing list which said that I should go to /etc/rc.d, then
execute "./sshd start" from there, this will make ssh-keygen to
generate host key and stuff. I did this and there is nothing, the
"ssh_host_dsa_key" is not generated. I have another box which runs
5.3, and it generates key when I did the same thing. I wonder where
can it go wrong?
  One more thing is that I witnessed there is some weird log appears
on that 5.3 box when I boot, it goes like this:

1338 %parent R  *Handler
1339 0 R  Node
  1340 %desc R  *Handler
  1341 %driver R  *Handler
  1342 %location R  *Handler
  1343 %pnpinfo R  *Handler
  1344 %parent R  *Handler
  1345 vga R  Node
1346 %parent R  *Handler
1347 0 R  Node
  1348 %desc R  *Handler
  1349 %driver R  *Handler
  1350 %location R  *Handler
  1351 %pnpinfo R  *Handler
  1352 %parent R  *Handler

I guess I enable something somewhere but just can't remember, any idea? thansk!

crazy mouse

2004-04-24 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi bsder,
   I just changed a new m/board and found my mouse went crazy, it's out of
control most of the time and tends to stay in one corner and "shakes"
itself. it is a generic PS/2 mouse, 2 buttons, no special something, no
scroller, no nothing. i tried to change "Protocol" in my XF86Config, tried
"PS/2" "auto" "SysMouse" "IntelliMouse", up to now only "SysMouse" works,
by work, I mean I sort of can control it when I try very hard. other
protocols make some pull-down menu automatically showed up and blink, I
use xfce4 as my x-win. my graphic is Savage chip. my mouse is driving me
crazy, HHLLLPP!!! (m/board is ECS L7VMM3).

I just upgraded my 5.4 to 6.0 last night and encounter some problems, please
forgive me if this has already been brought up...
I cvsup the source by changing RELENG_5 to RELENG_6, do the cvsup and follow
the old routine (make buildowlrd mergemaster..), after reboot, I noticed
that
(1) my system is still called FREEBSD 5.4,
(2) pgrep: kvm_getprocs() failed.. ???
(3) my network (DHCP) doesn't work, "can't install write filter program:

portupgrade question

2006-10-21 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

Hi people,
  I just did the "portupgrade -rf pkg-config\*" to upgrade the apps, but i
think some of the upgrades went wrong so there are a whole bunch ports
skipped. I noticed glib20 has some compilation error, and probably is the
cause to all the rest. To fix this, should I apply the same command or can i
use portupgrade -fr glib-2\*" ? thanks!!

I looked at the bug database, and there are some reports of this

portmanager question

2006-11-05 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

Hi people,
   as recently i have problem with firefox, i thought i will try to upgrade
my port by my way...
  as i first run "portmanager -s > log" to see what ports are outdated, and
if that port seem critical, I will do
 "portupgrade -R/-r " to fix it. it's probably not the best, but I decided
to give it a try. however, when reading portmanager output, something looks
weird.

e.g.
..
00106 :libcdio-0.77_1  /sysutils/libcdio
MISSING
..
I do have libcdio, as i checked under /var/db/pkg/, so what does this mean??


more here
.
00032 have:glib-2.12.4 /devel/glib20
built with OLD dependency: icu-3.6
..
far as i know, icu3.6 is the latest, right??

thank you !!

TV capture card

2006-11-10 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

Hi
 thank you guys. I just ordered a TV card from Avermedia, it should be
using brooktree chip. i chose AverMedia over Happahauge simply because it's
less expensive. :-) (i actually live in long island, Happahauge is just
right here...). I expect i will have some twicking to do to make it work,
but what the heck!!

Re: TV capture card

2006-11-10 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

ahh.. really?? bktr (4) said it's based on brooktree, here:

The *bktr* driver supports video capture cards based on the Brooktree
Bt848/849/878/879 chips, as well as Pinnacle PCTV cards, including:

*·*  AOpen VA1000
*·*  AVerMedia AVerTV Studio
*·*  AVerMedia TF/FM-98

but you can be right, the vendor's website didn't tell me what chip it
uses right now.

Are you sure that the chip will be a brooktree one? Modern Avermedia
use philips chips. And I'm not sure that there are drivers for the
latter so far.

i downloaded FreeBSD 6.1 last night & have verified the "md5sum".
"Xorg -configure" does not work. GNOME is installed. then i tried
"xorgconfig -textmode" which worked & after checking my mouse,
keyboard etc it shows me the "video card list" which contains only 2
drivers "ati" & "vmware" & nothing else.  so i tried both drivers,
"ati" & "vmware" & edited "ttyv8" line in "/etc/ttys" to "on" from
"off". but all i get is Black Terminal.

does anybody has any idea on how i can configure X?

(i used to run Fedora Core 4 before that which installs "vesa" driver
for my VGA & it ran fine in "1024x768" mode. i have used FreeBSD 5.4
once which did show me a long list of drivers for my "video card"
including "vesa" & i ran my box with that & it was fine but with this
new FreeBSD i dont have any choice except 2 drivers i mentioned. )

hands-on experience on 6.1 amd64 vs. i386

2006-11-13 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

this is nothing professional, just my personal experience.
same machine, two sata, one is amd64, the other i386.
while doing portupgrade due to gtk upgrade on amd64, it reboot a few times,
never
finished the job, and i can't say why.
but on i386, portupgrade -fa due to no maintenance for a couple of months,
never reboot
itself, but has some ports failed to upgrade due to various reason, which
can be solved by myself.

TV card on freebsd

2006-11-14 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

Hi,
  this is a follow-up to what I posted before, about choosing a TV card to
use on freebsd6.2. Okay, so the card I got "A VerMedia M-500" ...DOES NOT
work!! Indeed!!! It uses Philip chip. shoot

but I have windows xp installed on another HD, after downloading the driver
and all, that seemed to work well, except my cable signal is weak, i only
get like 13 channels :-(

get ready to bid

high resource demand fron mldonkey

Hi,
  I run mldonkey (mlnet+gui) on freebsd 6.2 and found it takes up a lot of

I run mlnet 2.8.7 *without* the GUI on 6.2 on a 533MHz VIA C3 (hardly a
powerhorse) and it consumes very, very little CPU at all.  It does consume
as much memory as it can, and the CPU load is high for the first minute
after launching, but overall it runs very smoothly.

The advantage of running it headless is that you can use different GUIs to
connect in from different hosts.  Sancho (
http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net) is a good choice, but there are others.

Cheers,
Danny

Burn ape music to CD

2007-09-05 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi,
  I have some ape music files ready to burn to CD, I first comvert them into
wav file then use cdrecord, but I heard that this is not necessary, ape file
can burn to CD directly, how is this achieved?? Can I play the CD in regular
stereo?? thank you!!

flash plugin after xorg update

2007-09-16 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
Hi,
  not sure if these two are really related, only know that my flash plugin
doesnt work after I update xorg and re-enter x windows. I first re-install
plugins by deleting the old plugs directory and then running nsplugwrapper
-v -a -i, anyhow, here is the error message:

The program 'npviewer.bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 147 error_code 8 request_code 148 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_SetWindow() invoke: Connection closed

*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_New() invoke: Connection closed
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPP_Destroy() invoke: Connection closed
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NP_Shutdown() invoke: Connection closed

I started my x-window as suggested using --ignoreABI, thanks!!

Re: flash plugin after xorg update

2007-09-17 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
This flash issue has made me reconsider buying a low-end laptop running
vista, so I dont have the urgency to deal with this issue. One thing I need
flash to work is that I watch mlbtv, and it requires flash plugin to
initiate. Also for some other multimedia on the internet, having flash
working just makes it so much easier... uhn

Re: flash plugin after xorg update

2007-09-19 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng
so I googled.. and found that this flash thing could result from one of two
reasons,
1. composite extension "might" be internally made On, I add "Composite"
"false" to my xorg.conf
2. change depth from 16 to 24.

I did all of them, and now the flash is back on..at least i can watch
mlbtv.. :-)

resolve.cong

2007-04-06 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

hi,
   my computer gets DHCP IP from my router, and also writes my
resolve.confin my /etc by dhclient (as I learned from the handbook).
It writes "search
hsd1.md.comcast.net." and "nameserver 192.168.0.1" in the resolve.conf. I
found this is not very efficient. Once I put "nameserver 68.87.73.242"
(which is actually copied from the router status), my network works better.
But since dhclient keeps change the conf file back to the way it was, Is
there anyway i can make dhclient writes down this line?? thank you!!

mkxvcd not working due to floating point expression of movie length identification from mplayer

2006-12-13 Thread Tsu-Fan Cheng

hi ...
 i need to use mkxvcd script to create movies, but it gave me error
messages. After some debugging I found out it's because (I guess) that
mplayer use floating point expression instead of integer when identifying
the length of the movie, like 208.15 or something. Anyway, when mkxvcd
trying to decide how many hours this movie has by code:
HOURS=$[quant/3600], which quant means the length,
the script can't handle it and exit.
The script is written in Bash, and I am not so much of a expert, can someone
suggest me the next step?? much appreciated!!

Hello,
Just wondering if and how I would go about getting Unicode
support setup on FreeBSD. Any links I could get would be more than
appreciated.
Finally got fed up with instability on my Gentoo setup, so it's
time to move to something better :).
