sound card and freebsd v7.0

2008-09-25 Thread jonathan michaels
greetings, freebsd-questions,

i recently got a handme-down box, some sort of hp desktop machine ? not
sure what it is called, the source was more or less vague about its
name/configuration ??? i put in a freebsd v7 cd and these bit fell out,

after pluging some speakers there was no sound, i suppose ?no driver
attached"  line explains that one ??

sorry for the lack of informations, this is my forst time with freebsd
v7 i had used freebsd v6.2 for the previous 6-7 months and for teh
previous 10 plus years freebsd v2.2.5-7 had looked after all of my
networking requirements pppd/mail/ethernet/x11 desktop/and so on. this
v7 world is completely new (and somewhat foreign) to me.

i do not know what else to provide to help with this ..

apart from teh 
no sound' problem the only other oddity that this machine displays is
some mild confusion about the hard drive.

the drive is a 120 gb hitachi deskstar .. linux (several of teh most
recent distributions, ubuntu/centos/fedora sees it as a 120 gb, as
dose solaris v10/v11 but freebsd calls it a 114 gb drive and no
fiddling with teh geometry altres that outcome (several combinations
make it even less than teh 114 gb .. some come down to 85 gb.  i don't
have a freebsd v6 box anymore to test this drive in, it died, this is
why teh new (to me) box and teh sudden/abrupt move into freebsd v7.

if it helps .. this is teh details

after the initial install, i created/editied a /boot/loader.conf.local
file to enable all teh sound drivers to see which one came up as being
the one .. grin.

then, i plan to redit teh /boot/loader.conf.local file to reflect teh
changes, after testing .. i am at teh testing stage .. still .

sorry, i am a bit nervious with this v7 installation, i had some real
'issues' with the installation of freebsd v6.2 on my hardware and they
seem to being repeated with this v7 .. i am using the basic sysinstall
tool set that provides a basic installation.

i do not understand this .. i mean i do not understant how freebsd can
take a drive with the cylinders/heads/sectors that produces xxx million
sectors that muitiplied by 512 bytes producs 120 gb (real gb) solaris
also identifies this as a 120 gb drive as do several linux distrinutions
(centos and ubuntu based).

one item i forgot to include that freebsd v7 came back with several
different (with several succesive reboots) free space guesses (no
intervention from me just putting in teh dvd and booting .. in several
machines whose bios' all said that this is a 120 (real) gb drive

could this be a "lba" confusion/issue between teh drive/bios/freebsd
interpretation ?? it is a term i recall from earlier, when thes
kinds of drives first appeared and casued significant consternations
for everybody not just freebsd. it is a problems as far as i have
several of thes drives to be putting into several 'server' machines
where this kind of freespace 'loss' would become an issue --- hardware
density, as in drivers per terabyte leading to power consumption/space
and heating conciderations in raid arrays (five and ten drive rack)s

this is not a 'real' problem as 95 gb (whats left after install from a
114 gb start point) is more than enough for this boxes task-load. it is
that i find this a bit confusing/interesting, esp given that fresbie
v1.1 aslo sees this as a 120 gb drive ???  just interested in fiding
out what

w3 web browser on freebsd v6.2-R

2007-08-09 Thread jonathan michaels
greetings all

just installed a compaq proliant 5500  with freebsd v6.2-release, works
quite well in most respects. except for one small item.

i installed from ports the w3.org web browser amaya, just did the basic
"make install" and ater teh fetch and build, which didn't throw up any
errors or complaints, as far as i could see ..

i started up teh browser

> amaya-gtk

and all it returned was this error message

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by 
"amaya-gtk"

i scoured teh hard disk and found nothing, i looked on teh freebsd
v6.2-release january 2007 4 cdrom set from freebsdmall.com (thanks
guys) and the "freebsd toolkit july 2006" (supposed to be fro 6.2 ??)
the 6 cdrom set. i found no mention of any "libintl.any.revision.at.all"

sugestions, ideas .. how do i go about resolving thiw situations,
please. i am new to building/debuging software from ports, i normaly
just install teh package and thats that. i live on teh end of a 14kb
dialup modem link .. no adsl where i am, yet.

sorry, i am not subscribed, please cc: me

kind regards and much appreciations

suggestion .. please, how (best) to keep a freebsd host 'up-to-date',
for me, for various reasons going down the -stable road is too
much work. currently i use -release untill i need to upgrade
for some (usually) serious reason.

the situation that i am in now is the natural conclusion of
that road ..

ok, i will try that latter on today .. thanks norberto, hope

sendmail: stat=Deferred: Can't assign requested address

2008-06-11 Thread jonathan michaels
greetings all,

firstly, i am not subscribed, please cc: responces, appreciated.

i have been using freebsd v2.2.5-release (as my domains mx host
on a 486dx33 .. that was upgraded after 20 years running with 6
years on v2.2.5  to a p5-133 mhz into which i moved teh whole scsi
harddisk ssubsystem (card and drives) ther it ran v 2.2.5-r
faultlessly untill last january when i cleaned of teh hard
drives reformated averything and installed freebsd v6.2-release
!!

than after a few weeks of settling down and setting up every
thing worked well, as expected, then the sendmail nightmares
started ... basically the system could not send mail anywhere
!!!

cutting long story short, it was basically my having to relearn
teh whole universe .. there were more differences  than i had
planned for and it was an uphill battle relearning essentially
everything i had learned about freebsd over th previous ten
years.

about 3 weeks ago things started to make sence, herebouts,
slowly it is clearing up, as i started to understand sendmail
and getting teh configurations right .. most of teh poorly
configured hosts i've now cleaned up and are working properly,
but, one ...

i have now got one left and like teh linux chappie who i found
on google who had a similar "out of teh blue experience" like
mine, (about 2003) one day sendmail worked then teh veyr next it was
defereing everytingh .. just like here. this chappie had
replaced his nic, i've not done angthiny like that hppen here,
the machine is the machine and no hardware has been changed ??

i donot understand what is going on here .. i've included all
teh differnt bits in teh maillog file

here is teh /var/log/maillog exerpt

should not the "esmpt:" rather be "esmtp:" most of teh literature that
i have read recently says it the esmtp way .. i live with dsylexia
amongst other neurological disabilities and need to double/triple/add a
few more time to check things before i am confident of success (not
failing) based on 'spelling' alone. 

> In /etc/mail/domaintable:

> and rebuild domaintable.db

i used to run a uucp mail service for several clients back in teh
fidonet days (internet to fidonet gateway) and this made sence then,
now i fali to understand the need .. i just do not know and would
appreciate a bit of an explanation please ..

mail.caamora.com.au is an alias (in the dns file and /etc/hosts) for
the machine seaholm.caamora.com.au which is the primary mailserver for
the domain .caamora.com.au ... is not tthe domaintable used to remap an
old domain to a new domain name after some soprt of a change or to use
names in 'rule 3' mappings .. if i have missunderstood my readings i
apoloise, i am new to sendmail fiddlings, i set it up ten years ago and
it worked i now have to relearn who and why .. my disabilities have
gotten a bit worse because of teh medicines i need to take and this
makes learning a bit on teh harder side .. but not impossible 

 
> in /etc/mail/local-host-names:

check, it was done long time ago
 
> and double check your MX record and /etc/hosts

 i looked at my dns files and found a small disaprity from a name
change about 2 years ago, i made teh change in teh main file but forgot
to carry it into teh reverse lookup file, g.

as for the MX records they have been much teh same for about 15 years,
i like long term stability makes for peace of mind , the down
side is that when things go wrong like this, it is a nightmare to
recall what, how did/done way back when the system was built/changed
last .. makes for lots of work sometimes.

ok .. did teh checks, made teh changes, even the domaintable, though i
don;t understand how it works, the only thing i don't do as you wrote
was teh esmpt .. i used teh more popular esmtp ??  

apart from fixing teh esmtp mistype i did it all and checked teh mx
host my dns setup and still its dead in teh water, still defering all
mail out from this box.

might it have some thing to do with this line in teh sendmail config
line it is commented out ??

the one reference that i found on teh world wide internet made some
sort of reference to this being the cause in the linux machine that had

apart frpm some neurological disabilities that i was born with
a lot of tireness and frustratin mixed with sideffects from
medicines that i need to take to help my body function in teh
face of life long disabilities combined to to help me miss some
quite simple errors that when all combined .. draged this
matter out far far longer than it need have been.

in teh long run it turned out to be a poorly written
'etc/rc.conf' file and a posible freebsd oddity .. i am not
sure about that one but now my system is working as all teh
rest (other 4 in my local network) so i'm not arguing .. again
thanks for all teh help guys, very much appreciated.

the two main things were missing a lot of " marks around most
of teh lines to do with the local networking entries and a few
that were just misssing, mainly because of assumtions that teh
default entries in the /etc/default/rc.conf file would take
care of teh system as a whole ?? in my hosts case they did not
and i need to explicityly have them stated in teh /etc/rc.conf
file before my system would pick tehm up and connect this
machine to teh local network and then to forward packets onto
teh far greater outside world.

explicitly, all teh freebsd v6.2-release machines in my local
network need, these lines added (be included in there
/etc/re.conf file before local netoworking will function and
sendmail will work properly with freebsd v6.2-release

my host has a intel pci 10/100 mhz nic

ifconfig_fxp0="inet ip.ad.ress.6 netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_lo0=" inet 127.0.0.1"

both of these entries need to be included before neworking will
function properly

#ipv4_addrs_fxp0="ip.add.re.ss/24"

this ipv4_addrs.. entry i do not understand ?? what its purpose
or function is .. after 4 hours of typing starting at scree and
constant rebooting i was not game to try it incase it broke
somthing that i didn't not understand.

now this following entry

#network_interfaces="auto"

in my system/configuration this line, jut plain dosen't work
and i need to use this entry (with relevent changes for teh
other machines nic's)

network_interfaces="fxp0 lo0"

before networking will function properly (locally) or even have
stable intranetwork connectivity.

first, i am not subscribed to teh list .. tooo much volume please use
the Reply-To: for reply.

i've just upgraded to freebsd v6.2 from a decade of using freebsd
v2.2.5-release .. most reliably most stable, by comparison this v6.2
has been a nightmare over this last year .. so many changes so many
things different from 2.2.5 stuff that was taken for granted that never
tirned up as part of teh ansers to the few questions i'v managed to
ask. so frustrating .. moan mode off!

i've tried teh hand book, even muddled my way through google, teh only
reference that has surfaced is a pointer to the fact the this error
message is because named is running in a sandbox ??? d'ont know when
that happened but freebsd now runs named from a sandbox ..

this machine is a router/gateway and old 486 with a small scsi hdd that
is rapidly filling up from this and others, to my mind silly error
messages.

is there some way to fix thins, is it a hard error, can i run named not
in a sandbox, i'm also seeing other errors that seem (to my mind) to be
related to this, but i am not sure so i'm keeping my mouth shut untill
i can work it out and find teh real culprit .. i have mild brain damage
that impinges on my cognitive process, ergo the poor typing
(neurological damage) and problems with language/understanding.

some pointers would be most appreciated .. i've been struggling with
this for aover a year now and do not know where else to go ??

sorry for teh whinge

most kind regards and gracious appreciations.

after i got yuri post earlier i started to do some reading and

this is teh thing i'm having trouble with, why is named scaning
anything ??

i've got two secondaries (my isp and a friend) for
caamora.com.au, it was easy in bind v4, but not so with the new
v8/9 config .. everything and teh kitchen sink gets defined. i
am working my way through it, its a bit of hard going for me.

thanks, but i don't think this will help here, the machine is a
permanently connected dialup ppp (now userland ppp, formerly
kernel pppd). so it just sits there doing its thing untill teh
ocasion thunderstorm  or freebsd fallover, stuff happens.

this is teh bit i am failing to understand, why is named
scaning tun0, what is it looking for .. it should be obvious,
but sorry i am not making sence of this.

i read teh 'listen-on' bit in dns&bind ed5 (after yuri tip off)
and trying to workout if bind is using this 'listen-on' is it
looking for internal dns queries or looking for stuff coming in
from teh outside for the getting of domain transfer infromation
for teh secondaries, umm slave servers out there, as mentioned
earlier teh isp dns server and teh 'friend dns server' i am not
quite clear on where that information goes in teh new scheme of
things ??

gigabyte GA-71XE4 (single amd athlon cpu motherboard

2008-09-03 Thread jonathan michaels
greetings all,

i just repaired my old machine by replacing the damaged motherboard
with these items

motherboard: Gigabyte GA-71XE4 (chipset AMD-75?, with single AMD Athlon cpu)
audio:   Creative SB PCI 128 (CT-4815)
video:   nVidia GeForce 4 MX440 SE
nic: D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100BaseTX (be replaced with intel 10/100)

freebsd v5.2 and 5.3 boots no problems works well but freebsd v7 locks
solid right when it get to teh load image to/from "md0" device this
happens when i use teh -release cdrom to install freebsd.

i looked on google and on marc tying for gigabyte/ga-71xe4 and various
combinations of teh whole chain of bits, also tried specific freebsd
lists (-hardware and -questions) and drew blanks .. guess this will
change that .. grin.

after a bit of thinking i tried booting in 'Safe mode" it booted
properly and went on to complete the installation and is now working as
well as i have seen freebsd work on my other machines.

after starting to use safe mode i had no further problems witht eh
boot/startup lockups.

another thing thats confused me is how freebsd can work out the ide
cable is teh wrong one, dose it really make that much difference ??

i have attached the /var/run/dmesg.run and cut down version of
/var/log/messages.

please reply to address in headers .. i'm not subscribed to questions-


some light would be appreciated on this whole acpi issue and if i need
nvidia drivers to make teh video card work in normal/text mode ??

much thanks and kind regards

jonathan
