Well, you don't, but you do.  The splash module won't load the bitmap
until after the "beastie menu", anyway.  And your bitmap is the right
depth, but it's too large, I think.  I believe I answered this question
about a week ago ... check the archives.  I think it was 320xnnn ....

I have always thought that it might be a nice option to have FreeBSD
only install the MTA that the user prefers, when the OS is first
installed. If a user wanted PostFix, or Qmail or whatever, that MTA
would be installed and initialized in a similar fashion to what is
currently done with SendMail. However, SendMail would not be installed,
unless it was the users preference. Further, buildworld would by default
update the users MTA of choice, and not default to SendMail.

Of course, I want to win the lottery next week, but that is probably
not going to happen either.

Just my 2¢.

You do not seem to have HT enabled.  You have to turn it on via sysctl
as well because of the security implications.

I was able to install the pvm port, but when i try to run it, it always
fails saying:
libpvm [pid42244] /tmp/pvmd.0.kungfoo: No such file or directory
libpvm [pid42244]: Console: Can't start pvmd

i am running this on my machine (ie, i'm not trying to connect to any remote
host) and i have ipfw enabled
(so i'm guessing it has nothing to do with ipfw, due to loopback address)

i've set the shell variables:
PVM_ARCH=FREEBSD
PVM_ROOT=/usr/local
PVM_DPATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/pvm/lib:/usr/local/lib/pvm/lib/FREEBSD
PVM_PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib



a find showed relevant files here:

i already was able to compile some basic programs with the make variables:
PVM_ARCH = FREEBSD
CFLAGS = -I$(PVM_ROOT)/include
LDFLAGS = -L$(PVM_ROOT)/lib
LIBS = -lpvm3
$(CC) -o hello hello.o $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS)



i am able to start the pvmd daemon manually by: pvmd &
but when i try pvm, i get the same error


arghhhh.... how do i solve this??!!

i386_set_ldt(int start_sel, union descriptor *descs, int num_sels);

The man page for this function in FreeBSD 5.x mentions the following:

"If num_descs is 1, start_sels is valid, and descs is NULL, then
i386_set_ldt() will free that descriptor (making it available to be
reallocated again later)."

Am I right when I say this is only because 5.x allows dynamic allocation
of descriptors and that freeing a descriptor isn't necessary for
pre-5.0 versions of FreeBSD (and current versions of Net/OpenBSD)?

Hello,

After cvsup to 5.4-P7 and compiling the Kernel with SMP, PAE, acpi options,
I noticed when getting back in that only CPU2 is being used.

5.4 requires 24MB of RAM and a 486-class CPU.  4.1, 4.4, and the rest of the
4.x releases require 16MB of RAM and a 386-class CPU.

Both will fit in 1GB of disk, or less if you don't install big things like X11
or the src and devtools.  5-10 GB is comfortable for a complete install with
room to rebuild the system and install a few hundred ports.

The minimum system requirements depend on the software that you want to
use with FreeBSD. In theory FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x should run on a 80386
CPU with a small amount of RAM. I use FreeBSD 5.4 with a Pentium 166
Laptop and 32 MB RAM successfully.

You'll get all information about your memory stick after you have
connected it in /var/log/messages, e.g. its manufacturer, model and the
device name (da0): "tail /var/log/messages".

The nodes of the partitions will be created dynamically in /dev too.
Just type "ls -l /dev/da0*" to see them.

Hi list,

System : 5.4-RELEASE-p7

I'm trying to change the default boot splash screen from beastie to bmp-file.

Here's my /boot/loader.rc :
\ Loader.rc
\ $FreeBSD: src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc,v 1.2 2003/11/21 19:01:02 dcs
Exp $
\
\ Includes additional commands
include /boot/loader.4th
\ Reads and processes loader.rc
start
\ Tests for password -- executes autoboot first if a password was defined
check-password
\ Load in the boot menu
include /boot/beastie.4th
\ Start the boot menu
beastie-start

And my /boot/loader.conf :
# snd_driver_load="YES"
snd_inch_load="YES"
# ndis_load="YES"
if_ndis_load="YES"
# if_pff_load="YES"
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
loader_color="YES"
splash_bmp_load="YES"
bitmap_load="YES"
bitmap_name="splash.bmp"

In my kernel I have an "options    VESA".

I have a /boot/splash.bmp which is a 8 bpp 640x480 bitmap (from
http://www.baldwin.cx/splash/saturn_1_640.bmp) where I read the instructions
on how to change the splash screen too (and I did a "man splash"...).

But when I boot my pc, I dont get a nice bitmap splash screen ! I tried whith
commenting out in loader.rc the "include /boot/beastie.4th" and
"beastie-start" lines, but then I get no bootmenu at all.

How do I get a nice splash screen ? Hints and/or tips are welcome :-)

It is not fsck that is cousing the trouble but tunefs itself.

From the man-page you can read:

   The tunefs utility cannot be run on an active file system.
   To change an active file system, it must
   be downgraded to read-only or unmounted.

So to change the / partition with tunefs, you have to run
another system wich is not using that / partition.
( for instance with the fix-it cdrom )
Or you can, as the manual says, mount it read-only.
I never tried that, but maybe it will work.

Look at the output from fsck.  It very clearly tells you that it
found problems, but didn't fix them (probably because the partition
is mounted).  Notice the following lines:
** /dev/ad2s1a (NO WRITE)
and
CLEAR? no

Boot to single user mode and try it again.

Also, if you add fsck_y_enable="YES" to rc.conf these should be fixed
automatically at boot (IIRC).

Hey guys. :)

Anybody have any idea how to compute for the
throughput of a connection given the congestion window
size of each segment, but not given the RTT? (I'm
using TCP Reno as my protocol flavor.) My log file
doesn't provide the individual RTT values, but I have
the total transmission time though.
When I sum the total congestion window size of the
connection and divide it by the transmission time, I
get unbelievably high throughput values like 20MB for
my 802.11b connection, which I think has a ceiling of
11MB.

Any form of reply will be extremely appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jamie

Graphical, and officially from MySQL AB.

It means that you need to run fsck on the partition before you can
enable softupdates. Something like "fsck -y /" will do it.

I am trying to enable tunefs for my filesystem but I get the following:
-------------
# tunefs -n enable /
tunefs: soft updates cannot be enabled until fsck is run
tunefs: /dev/ad2s1a: failed to write superblock

But AFAIK fsck is not running.

What am I missing here?

Hi!

On my FBSD 5.4 I have added second disk via sysinstall and with label
/disk2. I can access it normally but what bothers me that on daily Disk
status it shows me only the status for the first disk and not that second
one:
------------
Disk status:
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad2s1a  37669550 28025600 6630386    81%    /
devfs               1        1       0   100%    /dev
------------

In my fstab I have:
----------------
# cat /etc/fstab
# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump
Pass#
/dev/ad2s1b             none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ad2s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
/dev/acd1               /cdrom1         cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
----------------

So my second drive isn't listed here but I can still access it without
needing to mount it manually.

Some other info:
First disk:
--------------
# fdisk /dev/ad2

How is it possible to mount second disk automatically if it is not listed
in  /etc/fstab?

Doesn't it go all through the list (everyting should be - if recoverable - in
lost+found after you answered "Y" to everything that you think would be
important). If you have to reboot all the time at this stage already uhm
you're doing bad.

Most important info. Your drive is dying. Might be fast or slow but it is
going. Switch to mayhem mode.

Stop rebooting, save the drive or what's left of it, put it into another box
and try to salvage your data from there. Get it out of that box. You never
know if its solely a disk issue or perhaps a south bridge that cracked or
what have you. Stop booting it.

Oh well. Real men and all that :)

Just my NSHO,

Added inetd_enable="YES" to rc.conf and made sure the rest of the steps
from the pkg-message where followed.  'killall -HUP inetd' does not give
an error.  the output of 'ps -aux | grep inetd' (as user, no output as
root):
makisupa  3330  0.0  0.1   512   392  p0  R+    8:45PM   0:00.00 grep
inetd

So i missed something real obvious, inetd not running, but its still not
working...same behavior as before (after a reboot).

Thanks for your help (it is truly appreciated),
Mak

As a tech, I have seen this before. Let me assure you this has
everything thing to do with saving a bit of money. BTW those
partitions are rather easy to access... just take it out and put it
in another machine. The installation of windows on drives like that
are set up not to see it, for the most part. IIRC it is visible from
the MMC. If you take the drive out and put in another machine, it is
perfectly visible.

Hello,

I've run into a little problem with device numbering. My boot device is
a SATA RAID5 array, which normally shows up at /dev/da0. Now I've
connected an external USB HD, which showed up at /dev/da1. So far so good.

The next time I booted, I was surprised to see the USB disk now having
/dev/da0, and the RAID array having /dev/da1. The machine dropped me
into single user mode because /etc/fstab was now wrong.

Now, it's clearly not a good thing to have one's boot device name change
depending on whether an USB HD is connected or not. I figured I could
use glabel(8) to set a label, and then use that. Setting the label for
both RAID array and USB disk worked. For the RAID array, dmesg does say:

   GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0 is label/raid5.

However, the label doesn't show up in /dev/label, there's only the label
for the USB disk.

Any idea how I can solve this? Connecting the USB disk after booting is
not an option, since this system's supposed to be headless, and I'd like
to be able to remote reboot it.

Cheers
Benjamin

What does `ps -aux | grep inetd` tell you?  Inetd doesn't run
unless enabled in /etc/rc.conf... and IIRC (I've switched to
xfce4 from Gnome2), fam runs from inetd, so that could be
a root (no pun intended) cause of these issues, perhaps?
IANAE....

Hrm, I'm not much good from here out.  I note that there are two
sysctl's "hw.ata.ata.dma" and "hw.ata.atapi.dma", dunno if that'd
help.  Maybe see ata(4) for a little more detail.  Being as the DVD

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up Firefox to use a flash plug-in (video playback went

linux-flashplugin-7.0r25_2 via portinstall. Then tried to install
linuxpluginwrapper but installation failed. Seems like it needs
glib2-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm but this doesn't install. I get the following :

   I then tried to portinstall linux-glib2 but it didn't work either.
Haven't found much in /usr/ports/UPDATING, except the following
paragraph which I'm not sure applies to me as I'm using KDE. Besides I
was installing, not upgrading.

20050312:
    AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed
    AUTHOR: ahze@... and the FreeBSD gnome team

    Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
    DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
    or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade
    will cause problems and you will have to manually
    upgrade ports.  Please use the gnome_upgrade.sh
    script from
      http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh



Any suggestions ?
Thanks guys,
Edward
