Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Well, part of the problem here is that you're not breaking the problem up into smaller, more manageable pieces as you attempt to diagnose just what the heck is going on. You have two smoking guns pointing at your serial port somehow causing a system lock-up whenever something manages to successfully open it, so why not first test that? Use the cu(1) command or install kermit just to see if you can talk to your serial ports at all without hanging the system. If they do hang the system, start doing your hardware troubleshooting dance where you look for IRQ / port conflicts with the serial port(s) in question. Once you've worked all that out, THEN go back to trying to make upsd and friends work. :) For what it's worth, I see this more generic kind of problem with newbies a lot. You need to *always* be asking yourself two very fundamental questions when you're trouble-shooting any problem: 1. "What do I know, for an absolute, provable fact, actually works here?" Running through such a checklist should include everything from the power cord running into your PC to the software you're trying to configure or fix. Don't assume anything! The point isn't to make yourself feel silly for actually checking things like the power cord, the point is to go down a checklist to *ensure* that you're not missing something silly, just as a pilot performs a checklist before flying an aircraft. It doesn't matter if the pilot has 3 or 3,000 hours of flying experience, he does the checklist each and every time. 2. "Can my tests be in any way simplified?" In other words, can the problem you're trying to trouble-shoot be broken down to any smaller steps in order to have a more granular list of things to check (see question 1). This is one people very frequently get wrong. They do things like try to use netscape instead of "ping" to check basic network connectivity, or they test their mouse configuration by trying to start up an entire X session with 30 tools launching (or trying to launch) from their .xsession file rather than just starting the X server by itself and trying to move the mouse. I'm sure you get the idea. ;) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Mon Aug 7 0:18:18 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from desh.cse.iitd.ernet.in (mailer.cse.iitd.ac.in [202.141.68.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9BA9337BD1E for ; Mon, 7 Aug 2000 00:18:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rakhesh_sasi@bigfoot.com) Received: from cse.iitd.ernet.in (root@poorvi.cse.iitd.ernet.in [10.20.3.12]) by desh.cse.iitd.ernet.in (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id MAA28154 for ; Mon, 7 Aug 2000 12:49:16 +0530 Received: from localhost (csu96154@localhost) by cse.iitd.ernet.in (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA32517 for ; Mon, 7 Aug 2000 12:50:10 +0530 X-Authentication-Warning: localhost.localdomain: csu96154 owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2000 12:50:10 +0530 (IST) From: Rakhesh Sasidharan X-Sender: csu96154@localhost.localdomain To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Accessing an extended partition from FBSD-3.4 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all, My hard-disk configuration is as follows: in slice 4, I have FreeBSD, and in slice 3, I have an extended partition with RedHat Linux in it. It has 3 or so logical drives, in which Linux resides. Now, I have two problems: First, I can't get BootEasy to give me a option to boot into Linux. I can use LILO from Linux to do this job; but is there any way to do it using booteasy. Secondly, I want to access my linux partitions from FreeBSD. How do I go abt doing it ? DO I need to make a disklabel, or is there some other way of doing it ? (Any references or links etc would also be most useful.) Thanks in advance. BTW, I seem to have some problem getting the mails sent to this mailing list; so anybody who replies, please send a copy to "rakhesh@cse.iitd.ac.in". Thanks!

First, if you are doing a make from the ports collection, do you have USA_RESIDENT=YES in /etc/make.conf? That must be specified if you're making from the ports. Also, you can do it manually by ftp'ing rsaref2.0 from ftp://ftp.nstu.ru/pub/sources/security/crypt & ssh1.2.27 from ftp://ftp.cs.hut.fi/pub/ssh into /usr/src (as root of course). Unzip/untar the rsaref package first, cd to rsaref2.0, ./configure, make install. Do the same for ssh1.2.27. I've got it on pretty good authority that ssh1.2.27 is more stable than ssh2... (anybody else feel free to refute that of course). Good luck!

My Windows computer needs (from what I understand) a public IP so I can VPN to work. Otherwise I'd use NAT. In the simplest configuration, I'd just put a hub on the cablemodem and attach both the Windows and FreeBsd computers to the hub. This should work, but I haven't tested it yet (I don't have a 10mb hub). The only problem with this is I don't have a firewall. Another possible configuration would be a bridged setup. The FreeBSD box would be dual-honed, acting as a firewall and bridge. The Windows box would connect on one interface, with the cablemodem on the other interface. Here is what I found in the Handbook: ================================ 16.3.2.2. Filtering/traffic shaping firewall The second common situation is where firewall functionality is needed without IP Masquerading (NAT). An example is a small company that is connected via DSL or ISDN to their ISP. They have a 13 address global IP allocation for their ISP and have 10 PCs on their network. In this situation, using a router-based firewall is difficult because of subnetting issues. A bridge-based firewall can be configured and dropped into the path just downstream of their DSL/ISDN router without any IP numbering issues. [...] 16.3.6. Other information If you want to be able to telnet into the bridge from the network, it is OK to assign one of the network cards an IP address. The consensus is that assigning both cards an address is a bad idea. ================================ Maybe I should just take the plunge and compile the bridging options into my kernel, but I'm just a newbie and want to understand what I am doing first. I'm confused by the 16.3.6 section. - What do I assign an IP to, the internal or external interface? - Is there any good information on Bridging setup? - Will I be able to access the bridge computer (the FreeBSD box) from both the internal Win98 box and the internet? - Is it possible to use VPN through NAT? (I don't think so) - Would I just be better off with the simple config, skipping the bridge and firewall?

Initially it boots with the CD-ROM drive, Later when I try to install packages from Menu driven Installation program it says no CD-ROM device found. The most surprising thing is that the Menu driven installation program is being loaded from the CD-ROM drive when the system has been boot, And later it says that "no CD-ROM device found". When it didn't recognize the CD-ROM drive then how did it load the menu driven installtion program in the first place. Could any one let me know how to find a solution for this. I tried with two CDROM drives but the problem reminds the same.

What is happening is that the file the records where the icons are is not writable by you. I can't remember it's name, but it's somewhere under ~/.kde/share. You should browse around for a file without write permission. It's something to do with the desktop or kfm.

All that was needed was: .Open the "system" panel and select "File Manager (super user mode) .log in as root and then go to /home/(user directory)/Desktop .Right click on each one of the icons and select "properties", "permissions" .The following rights need to be given to user, group and others: User = show + write + change into Group = Show + change into Others = Show + change into .Make sure the owner and group are the same for each icon.

What is happening is that the file the records where the icons are is not writable by you. I can't remember it's name, but it's somewhere under ~/.kde/share. You should browse around for a file without write permission. It's something to do with the desktop or kfm.

Yeah, what he is referring to is a common problem. First, you need to place the CD in the cdrom drive (DO NOT MOUNT IT). Next, log in as root and type /stand/sysinstall . Choose "Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD" and then "Install pre-packaged software for FreeBSD". Finally, choose "Install from a FreeBSD CDROM" and choose the packages you want to install. When installing software, the only time you need to mount your cdrom is before you install ports from /usr/ports.

(I've never tried a CD installation.) I've noticed that during the installation while files are being downloaded to my computer the process stops and I am returned to the ftp site menu. When I enter a choice at this menu the installation continues where it left off. This happens several times during the installation process. It is not a big deal since I am able to complete the install. It just means that I can't start the install and then walk away and do something else. Has anybody else experienced this or do people know what is causing this? By the way, I've had this same thing happen on multiple versions of freebsd and on multiple servers. thanks, Nathan Speed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Thu Aug 10 17:50: 2 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from goblin.apana.org.au (goblin.apana.org.au [203.3.126.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D9B6437BCB4 for ; Thu, 10 Aug 2000 17:49:49 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: (from uucp@localhost) by goblin.apana.org.au (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA01611; Fri, 11 Aug 2000 10:49:32 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au) Received: from roadrunner.apana.org.au(203.3.126.132), claiming to be "ROADRUNNER" via SMTP by goblin.apana.org.au, id smtpdiY1609; Fri Aug 11 10:49:17 2000 Message-ID: <054201c0032e$a4cf4580$847e03cb@ROADRUNNER> From: "Doug Young" To: "Nathan Speed" Cc: References: Subject: Re: freebsd install stalls Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 10:49:48 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.5600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.5600 Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org G'dayNathan That sort of thing is normal here in OZ ....

When it happens to me it's usually because there is a slow link between my site and the main site... try one of the mirrors. Also, you should really ask questions in -questions... that's what it's for. Even 'newbie' questions that you don't think the 'gurus' will answer... if you ask it politely, some one will answer.

Hopefully you have the DOS configuration disk for it. Use it to check the IRQ and memory port settings and change them if necessary.

I am sure that I have the right CD in because I looked on the CD for my package and found it. Help? Did you: 1. Place the correct CD in the cdrom drive? 2. Log in or su as root 2. mount the cd with "mount /cdrom? 3. go to the directory of the port you wish to install with "cd /usr/ports/whatever? 4. Once inside the directory, did you type "make install"? If you followed these steps, it should have detected the cdrom in your cdrom drive and installed the correct port application. I'm guessing you didn't mount the cdrom first or you're getting packages confused with ports. If you log in as root and mount a particular cdrom and then look inside the cdrom directory (cd /cdrom), you should be able to see the contents of the cdrom by using "ls". Packages are located in the "packages" directory and ports in the "port/distfiles" directories. Installing a package involves a different process but it's not that difficult. To install a package, do this: 1. After finding the package on the cd you wish to install, cd out of the /cdrom directory and type "umount /cdrom" (DO NOT MOUNT THE CDROM AGAIN) 2. Make sure you're logged in as root and type "/stand/sysinstall" 3. Choose "Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD" and then "Install pre-packaged software for FreeBSD". 4. Finally, choose "Install from a FreeBSD CDROM" and choose the packages you want to install. Hope this helps..

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.

The "man ppp" isn't anywhere near as bad as the apache stuff generally though, thanks to Brian Somers ... he has been extremely helpful whenever I've had problems comprehending any user-ppp issues. Basically what I've been doing for the dialin setup is creating the ppplogin file, then setting ppplogin as the login shell for dialin users, basically as the "Method 1" in man ppp explains. I HATE that poxridden "vi" monstrosity though, so to make life easier when I run "vipw" to edit the master password file, I first set the default editor to "ee" by using "setenv EDITOR ee". That doesn't "stick", so it needs to be re-set every time you use "vipw". Avoid the /sysinstall version of mgetty at all costs ... its TOTALLY broken !!! As far as I can tell the only possible way to getmgetty working is by compiling from source, and thats another challenge given that the info provided isn't as helpful as it could be ..... my advice for what its worth is to stick with the man ppp / getty / method . Now for apache ...... it probably wins the prize for the most poorly documented application ever. There is virtually no attempt at explanation anywhere for basic apache setup .... the apache homepage isutterly useless, likewise the various man ages. Thankfully I've always got it running in basic form (ie without php etc) straight from sysinstall. The main problem I've struck is with inability to find the pages I've put in the proper location (at least "proper" according to pppd.conf). I now know that was because of some symbolic links which I inadvertently broke whilst copying pages into the default location. I haven't messed around with this stuff for a while, but I recall reading about many others having similar problems as I did with "page not found" type errors, and invariably the cause was the broken links. As I recall, the guts of the issue is that the pages aren't where they are supposed to be according to pppd.conf ..... they are somewhere weird with (hopefully) a link between where pppd.conf thinks they are & where they REALLY are !!! If you don't know exactly what you are on about when you start replacing the dummy page with your own content you could easily end up with the same problem, so be VERY careful here :) Other than that its fairly straightforward until you get into linking apache with a database ... the apparent favourite method (PHP) is another contender for the worst documentation on the planet .... I'm getting infinitely better results with solutions like CGI / C++ / Java ... at least there's a bunch of decent docs for those. ----- Original Message ----- From: "leegold" To: Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2000 10:39 AM Subject: classic newbie inquiry > could anyone direct me to very basic how-to's on stting up FreeBSD to > answer the phone and being an internet server.

I can start Star Office 5.2 in KDE if I "startx" as root. When I startx as a user, Star Office isn't on the menu. So I opened the menu editor and set up an item with type Submenu, file name staroffice_52, name Star Office 5.2, icon so52.xpm, MiniIcon so52.xpm, and comment Star Office 5.2. Which is to say, I tried to set up a submenu exactly like the one that shows up when I startx as root. But now that opens a submenu that just says "emtpy" instead of containing the three Star Office items; if I click on that, I get a message saying that the app can't be opened. Is this a matter of permissions, or of KDE menu editing, or something else?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Howdy, I am thinking of moving a fileserver from OpenBSD to FreeBSD because both Samba and NFS seem unreliable for heavy duty access under OpenBSD (backing up a win box causes a kernel panic after a few minutes, copying any directory with more than about 50 entries causes the NFS server to hang)... So I have two questions: 1 - Will FreeBSD be more reliable for this? Is it the best platform for this out of the x86 unices? (try to be unbiased, please :-) 2 - It'll be a major pain for me to back up the /home partition, so I'm wondering if I can just leave a slice on it, install FreeBSD on the rest somehow, and then use that slice from FreeBSD transparently?

To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Version 4.0 (WC CD-ROM Distribution) installation crashes after the "final warning." See http://people.FreeBSD.org/~rpratt/40/warning.html. Proceeds to the next screen, attempting to create root, and freezes. By switching to the ALT-F2 console, I can see the following text: DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scanning desk ad0 for swap partitions DEBUG: Scanning disk ad0 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scanning desk ad0 for swap partitions /dev/rad0s1a: 102400 sectors in 25 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors 50.0MB in 2 cyl groups ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting ata0 resetting devices..done ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting ata0 resetting devices..done ad0: WRITE command timeout - resetting ata0 resetting devices..done I believe it is a HDD controller problem. I have tried both the ATAPI/IDE controllers on 14, 15, and both. Have a primary master IDE 12G WesternDig HD and a secondary master ATAPI CDROM. Ideas?
