JamesOff posted:Anyone have any thoughts on hosting with hub.org? A 'Personal' VPS is only about £4/month there - I just need it for being a secondary nameserver and maybe MX for my personal low-traffic domains. For modest needs such as this perhaps you could get by with a free service like http://freedns.afraid.org/ If you still want the VPS so you can mess around with other things then you can go with Hub. I've heard they're decent. For something based in the EU you mihgt want to look into Gandi's service at http://www.gandi.net/hosting/

Assuming you are in the US try the other mirrors at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html#HANDBOOK-MIRRORS-CHAPTER-SGML-MIRRORS-US-FTP

Lord Flashheart posted:I just attempted to install FreeBSD yesterday, and after my computer rebooted, I was plagued by the message "acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd, ignored (-247.7C)". After googling around, it seems like this is a fairly common error, but I was unable to find a solution. I'm running a VIA VB7001 motherboard, if that helps. FreeBSD is just asking the motherboard for temperature information and is getting an illogical answer. The problem can either the ACPI implementation of the board (most likely), or how FreeBSD is interpreting the answer. Are you running 6.3 or 7.0? First, try a BIOS update from http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/downloads.jsp?motherboard_id=490 Also see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html for more options. Of course, as long as it isn't spitting messages constantly and you don't care about temperature readings from the on-board sensors, it can also be ignored.

Ninja Rope posted:Does anyone have FreeBSD running on a Thinkpad (t42)? I'm trying to get the blue mouse button to work, but it doesn't seem to register. I've tried pointing X at /dev/pcm0 and using moused/sysmouse. pcm0 doesn't register any data from the button and moused disables all three buttons on the row. Using moused in debug mode doesn't show any events when the blue mouse button is clicked, but the other buttons seem to work. Does anyone else have this working? According to http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~trep/tsrT40freebsd.html you should try disabling the touchpad in the BIOS.

Big updates like that scare me. I usually take a few weeks vacation from portsnap'ing. But that is just because I'm a big wuss. Kudos to the KDE on FreeBSD team.

atticus posted:I thought portsnap just grabbed the latest update to the ports tree, but didn't actually perform any software updates? Yes, this is true. But I have OCD, so I can't have any updates pulled but not applied. If "portversion -v" shows any updates are needed I don't sleep well.

Sergeant Hobo posted:If I wanted to put FreeBSD on my laptop (not going to at the moment, but just for the sake of discussion), is it possible that I can NFS mount my server's ports tree so I can update that only once and have my FreeBSD laptop access it or would that cause issues somehow? It will work. In fact is described as an example in the Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-nfs.html It doesn't cause a problem because port configurations are stored somewhere else, in /var/db/ports.

Ethereal posted:Is there any way to see if there are power saving modes available for the computer? I'd like to be able to set the machine to sleep between certain times on certain days. I'm looking to make this server power efficient! http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html covers how to check for what ACPI states your hardware supports, and how to test those states.

SmirkingJack posted:I have inherited a few web servers and also have the pleasure of building out brand spanking new ones. It looks like Apache was installed using ports, and I want to keep the same config. If I 'make config' in /usr/ports/www/apache22 will the preselected options be the ones that were used last and not the defaults? Yes. The options are saved in /var/db/ports/

OK, you ran X -configure and created an xorg.conf. When you start xorg with startx -- -config xorg.conf what do you get?

Only Shallow posted:I have FreeBSD 8.1 running on my Seagate DockStar. $20 is a great deal for a little ARM machine that can run pf/SSH/nginx and that uses 6 watts of power. You totally need to post a how-to. This would be amazing. And it has Gigabit Ethernet! I'm going to buy one today. Did you run into any problems with the lack of a real-time clock on the Dockstar?

Anyone have a good source for Dockstars? I've had some people ask me where to get them. Sadly Buy.com is not longer selling them for $25.

Ninja Rope posted:I've got a VIA C7 on a janky Jetway board that panics in FBSD 6.2 and 8.1 when powerd tries to throttle the CPU. It's using ACPI but I think it crashed when I ran without ACPI too. Regardless, where would I start to debug this? Do I need to start debugging AML or is there a more sane way of resolving this? Make sure you have the latest firmware for the motherboard. ACPI implementations get fixed all the time. I presume you really need power saving states, so disabling powerd is out of the question. Does FreeBSD have the capability to patch the DSDT tables, like Linux? http://blog.stuart.shelton.me/archives/124

You didn't apply compression to a volume full of already compressed things, did you? FLACs and MP3s will cause gzip to chug CPU with little gain.

Go to /usr/ports/lang/python27 and delete the known configuration with "make rmconfig". Then reinstall it with "make install clean".
