mpg123 weirdness with 4.3-BETA #2

[David Miller]

Over the weekend I upgraded hardware and software at the same time. 

I went from 4.1-stable to 4.3-BETA #2, and upgraded to a 1100 MHz T-bird
mobo.  Same genuine SB16 sound card.

Before the upgrade, mpg123 running under gqmpeg gave the clean, clear
sound.  Now it's laced with static.

The card and wires seem OK - xcdplayer plays CD's static free, it's only
mp3 files with a problem.

Ideas?  Known t-bird problem?

Thanks,

--- David

Re: serial port stuck at 9600

After digging through a couple of other "identical" systems, I've
discovered that the only reason it worked at all was that the BIOS was
configured with the com port on "auto".  When set to be com1 at IRQ 4 it
ceased to function at all, matching the other two systems.

I've tracked the problem down to the port (ttyd0) not having DCD
input.  Using cuaa0 worked fine, so the serial port is OK.

I checked the cable, and DCD is wired straight through (pin 1 on the 9 pin
ports), so it's not the cable.

I'm connecting with a serial port on another PC running freebsd and "cu -l
/dev/cuaa0 or cu -l /dev/ttyd0".  In both cases I get a connection
message, but the remote end never responds.  I slapped a breakout box on
the end of the cable and confirmed that DCD is not being raised by cu.



That means my question is: "When using a FreeBSD system as a console for
another system, how do I raise DCD in order to establish a connection?"


Clues welcomed:)

/usr/bin/w -n changes?

[David Miller]

Hi all;

Is /usr/bin/w -n not supposed to show IP addresses anymore?

Thanks,

Server Farms?

[David Miller]

I love being able to track bug fixes and such via cvsup and -stable
branches.  But it's not really an appropriate process to sup and make
buildworld on every server in a hundred server farm.

Is there some way to roll binary only changes off one server tracking
-stable?

Secondly, is there any existing method for tracking significant changes,
for some value of significant?  My definition would be first security
related patches and secondly stability related changes.  It would be
really nice to seperate them into those which require relinking/rebooting
and those which don't.


RTFM comments welcome if they have a pointer to TFM:)

Thanks,

--- David

[make libkvm and ps]

I suffered the same problem, and got to wondering; why would make
buildworld after the cvsup not do this?  I thought the whole point of
buildworld was to compile and install everything as a coordinated set?

make installworld to a different dir?

[David Miller]

Is it possible to make installworld to some other directory than the
actual system?  Something like:

make installworld ROOT=/usr/test

Thanks,
