I'm running two single core 252's on it, and I haven't run amd64 on it, but
it should be fine. I've running 32bit kernels/world on it just great on
the 105 (not E) bios. nfe0 and 1 work great, even the on-board raid works:
ar0: 238475MB <nVidia MediaShield RAID1> status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master
ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master
tracking 8-current on it presently.
However, I don't use any video in it at all, only the serial console. So I
can't attest to that.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Redhat sucks, you have to pay them monies, it's dependancy hell, AND
you have to do things their way - otherwise your system will be shizz.
Yeah, what are your goals for this system?
On the other hand, Gentoo is very clean and the next best thing to
FreeBSD. If you look up their history, Gentoo is a Linux deritive of
freeBSD it has many things in common if you ask me (thanks to Gentoo I
am now on freeBSD).

Why do you want to dumb down? I don't want to talk down any Linux
system (EXCEPT RED HAT) but Gentoo is more stable, and the footprint
is quite small, more manageable, and they don't put out release after
release. Gentoo is more of a server system but makes a great desktop
as well.

Maintainabily and ease of administration are not dumbing down if done
correctly and in a way that doesn't impeed flexibility if you want it.

You hit on my key point... maintainability... i feel FreeBSD ports, Debians
based APT systems, Arch, and to an extent Gentoo, are maintainable, Gentoo
in my opinion being the least so, why .... the portage system, though
useable is not 100% admin freindly in my opinion. Notice i said in my
"opinion". I did not say it wasnt functional, but there is a learning curve
to becoming a serious Gentoo administrator, where with FreeBSD
ports/packages, and Debians APT that curve is far less. case in point, give
a windows admin 3-4 systems, one Debian, one FreeBSD, One Gentoo, One
SLackware, one RPM based for 60 days, in the end youll see which they prefer
because they find the learning curve far less and get more accomplished in
productions with, trust me, this has been tried and proven many times, its
great for finding employees potential capacities. and in the end... I have
found all people tested choose FreeBSD, then a Debian based derivitive, why
because maintenance capabilities on these systems far out stretches the
rest. its just easier to do. lreaving more time for focusing on production
efficiency. i may be painful for them but in the end, your employees will
get more accomplished when you choose the right OS.

In other words, you want FreeBSD.
Of course, you still have the problem of running that application.
Sorry, that's no help, but, really, you are asking for FreeBSD.

I also find ot quite funny nobody asked about the heart of the matter before
spewing outlinux derivitives
its not a complex equation here, problem, app wount run... solution change
OS ?? doesnt strike me as a good path for
resolving the original issue
problem, app wount run
solution what the app first of all, second now find out what it requires.

Subject: Re: Install failure for 7.0-RELEASE (Need help!)
To: freebsd-...@freebsd.org
Message-ID: <60202.12...@tristatelogic.com>
No, it's not the cable. The cable works just fine, which is why I
_am_ able to make it all the way down until late in the Stage 3 boot,
*and* also why I _acn_m get all of the way down to the install menu
(while using the same drive & cable) when I boot from an old 6.1-RELEASE
install disk.
I have also now checked that it isn't a problem with the CD ROM drive.
I _was_ able to boot and get all of the way own to the install menu
using the exact same CD _and_ the exact same CD ROM drive on a
different Athlon XP based system that I have.
So it seems clear to me that the problem is that 7.0-RELEASE just
doesn't get along with the motherboard and/or chipset that happens
to be in this one particular system. (Again, the motherboard is
an ASUS A7N266-VM/AA I don't know offhand what chipset that has
on it, but I do know that it has intergrated on-board graphics.)
Lookie here! I'm apparently not the only one who has gotten this
exact same problem, also with an Athlon XP 2000:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-...@freebsd.org/msg190114.html
Hummm... yea. OK. This is definitely NOT just me having this problem:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113160
Seems that the real problem may have nothing at all to do with the READ_BIG
errors on the CD ROM drive just prior to the point where the mountroot>
prompt comes up. There is a whole 'nother problem that I was being distracted
from by those CD read errors (which are apparenntly recoverable... at least
as shown by a different Athlon system I have where I _can_ get to the 7.0
Install menu).
Sigh. So I guess I'll have to file a real PR on this because the suggested
"fix" for PR 113160 simply won't work for me... the BIOS on this particular
ASUS motherboard has been "customized" by ASUS and it provides no way to
disable the 15M-16M memory hole. :-( Major bummer.

I've been banging my head for 2 days trying to get php5 compiled with
extensions OR a way to find the .so files so it could dynamically link
them. I've finally stumbled on the php5-* directories in the ports tree and
it's compiling extensions right now, except that I keep having to deinstall
an extension then restart the php5-extension make again so it can continue.
Why isn't there a single folder under the lang/php5 directory that would
put all of the extensions in the same place? Having them broken up into all
of the varying places in the tree makes it extremely difficult to find
them. Or maybe at least have sym links to them in one place.
This is just for discussion, I don't expect an actual answer..........

This has been an ongoing problem for me because of my lack of knowledge
about the processes involved. I have a postscript printer which was
installed using CUPS via the KDE printer wizard. The printer works fine
when printing from X apps, but I am unable to print from the command
line. My main concern is to be able to print from Mutt, but when I try
to do that I get an error message from Mutt telling me,"lpr: lp: unknown
printer." I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction here.

Are you referring to 'php5-extensions-1.1' in the ports tree? Assuming
you have installed php5 via ports, why couldn't you just run:
portupgrade -NRryv php5-extensions
You will probably want to run 'make config' in that directory before
running portupgrade.
You could also use portmanager:
portmanager lang/php5-extensions -p -y -l

To answer my own post...
After a day of research, I decided upon ZFS.
I configured a raidz pool using all four entire disks.
I've put /boot on a USB thumb stick which I boot from, which allows me
to mount / and the rest of the system directly from the ZFS pool.
This prevents me from having to have a UFS slice on one of the disks, or
install another hard drive just to run the system from.
The idea was essentially copied from how I run my GELI systems. Boot
from USB stick that contains the encryption key. Once the system is
booted, I take the USB stick with me, which prevents access to the data
if the machine is shut down.

The FreeBSD base system comes with lpr/lpd, so you have an lpr binary at
/usr/bin/lpr. Cups installs its lpr to /usr/local/bin/lpr. You can move
your /usr/bin/lp* binaries aside and replace them with symbolic links to
the cups binaries in /usr/local/bin if you wish, or if you have a way to
tell mutt which lpr binary to use you can do that.

I just discoverd the two separate sets of binaries. I simply changed
the path in my .bashrc file so that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin
and that solved the problem.
Thank you for your reply.

I originally thought it was a DNS issue also. There is no DNS server
on the network. However, that doesn't seem to bother the Macs as they
quickly pick up the names of the machines and disseminate them to each
other without a DNS server. This is a test setup and systems come and
go frequently. I don't want the hassle of having to maintain a DNS
server that would require modes several times a day.

Are you really using 'example.com' as your domain name?

If that is the case, then you will have to switch domain names, because
`example.com' is already registered, and you don't own it.
My usual suggestion is to prefer something that doesn't stand a great
chance of being a valid, registered domain name, i.e.:
domain = keramida.priv
The answer to your question ``how to make mail work?'' should be in the
Handbook. If it isn't, you will have to show us all the options related
to `sendmail_xxx' variables from your `/etc/rc.conf' file, and some
files from the `/etc/mail' directory.

Ah, BSD you use..
its likely that /usr/bin/lp what you invoke is the wrong one (there is the path set to it). If you have installed the cups-port, there will be another lp -- /usr/local/bin/lp -- the one cups uses (compare the filesize).
Rename /usr/bin/lp to /usr/bin/lp.backup so it will not use this one and then try again, invoking lp should take /usr/local/bin/lp then.

I don't want to disappoint you, but if by `basic install' you mean
something like the FreeBSD base system, welcome to Linux hell. There is
no such thing as a `base system'. Every Linux distribution is merely a
collection of packages.

Both Debian and Ubuntu Linux can do that. I regularly install non-gui
versions of Ubuntu and Debian for my own Linux related work.

If you want to compile everything from sources, then Gentoo may be `good
enough'. I personally dislike Gentoo, but if prebuilt packages are out
of the question it may be the best choice for you.
Having said that, there are ways to compile Debian packages from
source. The Debian web site has an excellent guide about all the quirks
and tricks you can use to build using `apt-source' and the APT packaging
system is actually very very good at integrating your own custom-built
source versions with the rest of the system.

Hi,
I have a USB pen drive which gives warning messages like the ones in this PR

I've put this

still get the messages.
Why doesn't this work?
Also do I have to build world each time I want to test or is there a way
to just build and install the changed file? I know this question is not
really on topic but it's relevant to my main question so I hope it's ok
to ask it here as well.

You should define CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE when building cups. This will
install cups's lp* programs over the system programs. The easiest
way to do that is to add the following lines to /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/print/cups*}
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true
.endif
Then rebuild and re-install the cups-base port.
To prevent the next system rebuild from undoing this, you should also
add
WITHOUT_LPR=true
to /etc/src.conf.

install security/sudo from ports
then
man sudo
and have a look at /usr/local/etc/sudoers . You edit it with visudo.
with sudo you can tell the system "allow these users, or this group of users,
to execute this command as if they were root, using their own password to
authenticate" . OR without a password.
IOW, you could make those users be able to run geli as root without a password.
> I dont use sudo for the script (must I?),
if you can get away with sudo for geli only, then just do "sudo geli" in your
script. otherwise u can always do "sudo yourscript.sh", but you must ensure the
script is very secure - you wouldn't want someone changing the contents of that
script and running it as root!
also, when using sudo, ALWAYS use full paths , eg, /sbin/geli - the user could
create a script in their homedir called 'geli', change their PATH settings to
look in ./ first, and then you could be in a lot of trouble.
Buena suerte,
Beto

Ok, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been.
It wasn't that I didn't find php5-extensions, or even that it's difficult
to use, but actually tracking down the php5-extensions directory in the
first place was somewhat of a problem because there is no mention anywhere
of it in the lang/php5 doc files. I finally stumbled on a reference to it
in a 2 year old doc I found on google while looking for how to make .so
extension extensions be found by php. There's also a couple of extensions
not in the php5-extensions list, but I found them as well (samba share,
"dir php5-* /ad /s" starting in the /usr/ports directory helped a lot).
You're portmanager line has been very helpful, everything that I was trying
to get installed is actually working! I only had one problem and that's
because Mail-Toaster defines itself as a package without defining an ORIGIN
line in it's +CONTENTS pkg file. Once I added that I stopped getting
portmanager upgrade errors and everything got properly upgraded and compiled.

Hi Raghavendra
Thanks for the reply. It's most promising for the moment. Mel's method may be used next time when I build the app.

I think this only applies for ver. 7.
For 6.3 you need to put
NO_LPR=true
in /etc/make.conf.
/etc/src.conf (and its slightly different wording) wasn't introduced
until 7.0.
I also have WITH_CUPS=yes in /etc/make.conf. I understand that some
ports make use of it.

There was a project to create an open driver for 330:
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net
Rumor has it this was working in FreeBSD 5.1, but I can't tell about 7.0
You'll be a lot better just buying a cheapo router and connecting it to
your ethernet card.
I've been using a Speedtouch 500 this way, and never had any trouble.

Glad to hear it worked for you. Regarding the problem with toaster, did
you file a PR or report it to the maintainer? It might help to avoid
problems for other users.

Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog.
Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
