Re: Subject: Re: Ezmlm Port Okay Or Junk?

2006-11-25 Thread Graham Bentley
Graham, please include the list in the reply - it doesn't help anyone else to
have a private chat :)

Sorry about that 

 I didnt keep a list but mplayers extra codecs spring to mind.
hmmm  my mplayer and mplayer-skins having a nit with some skin it cant find
(it may be that I chose a bunch of skins to include as an option...will clean
completely and retry soon). win32-codecs has security holes, but if you dont
care about this, it should install fine.

All repo's where tried without luck. I DL'ed them seperatly. The filename
was wrong in the script. I assumed that this was because 6.2RC1 .iso ports
list may be out of date ?

I didnt realise audio codecs could have security issues (noticed that
anything I install from ports carries a security notice?) however
I need to listen to my voicemail.

I alos tried the JRE / Fox setup which worked in 6.1 but not in 6.2

if it really is a big problem for you, please consider submitting a PR with
fixes for specific issues you've found. Or report them via PR at least (as
nobody will fix something that is not known to be broken).

OK, this wasnt a complaint, just trying to undersand what a RC is compared
to a full release. I realise also that there are 1000's of ports and not
every single one can be monitored and tested constantly.

What is the 'Official Procedure' for reporting problems with ports or
any other aspect ? I always try googling and this list in that order.

 eye-to-eye on licensing issues, but it seems to me that the overall attempt 
 of both communities seems to be get the code out there and keep it free.

This is where you are wrong. The BSD approach is get free code out there, 
while the GPL approach is get open code out there and keep it open (open != 
free). You can argue about the meanings of the words free and open, but those 
are the two approaches.

I think the FreeBSD approach (this is the way I see it) is to use whatever is 
free to be used. Licensing issue only bother us, where they threaten the BSD 
license (i.e. GPL Kernel modules where the headers are also GPL code, would 
enforce the GPL upon the whole Kernel).

 When you try to install it, it prints a bunch of knobs, you can use, e.g
.
 WITH_SSL_MODULES, etc. You can set such in this way:
 make WITH_SSL_MODULES=yes install clean

I think the easiest method is to determine exactly what knobs you want to
employ, then place them in the /etc/make.conf file.

/etc/make.conf
# Apache 2.2.2. section
.if $(.CURDIR:M*/www/apache22)
WITH_DBM=bdb
WITH_BERKELEYDB=db42
.endif

Obviously, you enter the knobs you want to use. An advantage to this
method is that should you update Apache at some point, these knobs will be
used by the newer version.

 go to the apache2 dir in your portstree ( generally
 /usr/ports/www/apache2/ ) run 'make config' to set options, if the
 specific options aren't there: copy the Makefile to Makefile.orig and
 add the '--enable-OPTION'  and '--disable-OPTION' with the other compile

 options.

 Not sure though: but aren't a lot of those options also settable in the
 apache config file ? it might be a better idea to check that out first,
 so if you ever change your mind about a setting you don't have to
 recompile your intire apache2 port.

Re: packages failing to load

2006-11-25 Thread Armin Arh
Look for a package called 'expat-2.0.0'.
Once you got one look into it like this

pkg_info -L expat-2.X.tar.gz

It should then state there is a '/usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6' in it.
If so, install it.

Nevertheless this may fail if it uses some syscall of FBSD-5.5 not
present in FBSD5.4, but i don't think so.

If all that fails, compile it yourself, like this:

cd /usr/ports/textproc/expat2
make install  make clean


I have FreeBSD-6.2 running, but without expat2. My packages
still use expat1. Simply because i built every bit from ports,
to have no braindamage with precompiled stuff wanting newest
libraries.

Looks like this on my Desktop:

Hi.

I don't want to offend, but I may.  For starters, I'm not sure if that 
what you were trying to do or not.  Basically, it sounds like just 
another person who gave up before finding what the rest of us see as 
Nirvana.  Whatever, here's my mini-rant:


Since when is the FreeBSD Project responsible for the software of Sun 
Microsystems and the Mozilla Foundation?  (And, incidentally, I've not 
had too many issues with FireFox, Mozilla, or Java.  My Flash is borked 
ATM, but I'm not blaming Macromedia or the FreeBSD project, I'm just 
waiting until I have time to sort it out again).


I think the key words above are give it a whirl.  That's not what you 
do.  You make a conscious decision to jettison some other option in 
favor of FreeBSD on the desktop, and then you do it.  It's somewhat 
demanding.  It sometimes takes a while to get right.  It even requires 
revisiting now and again.  My parents aren't quite up to the task, for 
example.


Is it worth it?  I think it is for me, now (2 years later).  Many people 
will tell their 'old' hardware hasta la Vista ;-) in the next several 
months, but I won't.  If I want new hardware, I'll get it, but not 
because my software says I have to. Furthermore, I have had many of 
their so-called advanced features on my desktop computers for a long 
time, and I didn't have to contribute to the Gates foundation for any of 
them.


And I've got other desktop machines in my office (and some of my 
clients' offices) with no MSFT tax on them either.  And if I want 
another desktop made from junk I buy from Ebay or find in my closets, 
I'll have it, and a combination of software that will most likely work 
on it.  I don't have to give substantial portions of my income to 
hardware vendors, because I have access to a system that will still work 
on a Pentium II, if I desire to use one.


FreeBSD configuration isn't fire and forget for servers (although its 
daily operation very well *could* be), so why should it be that way with 
a graphical interface?  If anything, RTFM is much more important when 
attempting to create a GUI environment.  Problem is, FreeBSD isn't 
responsible for the majority of the GUI software, so you end up with a 
bit of hodgepodge research to do.  The FreeBSD Handbook has some 
information on basic configuration, but for the million+one combinations 
that people want as a desktop, you kinda have to search for your 
answers.  (Linux experience might be handy there, heh.)


/mini-rant

I'm not calling you names or attempting to insult you in any way.  I 
wish you luck with whatever OS you use on your desktop.  For the sake of 
humanity, I hope it's a Free OS.


Gee, the script found a good quote for the .sig:

It works for me. You must have screwed-up.

I have been using FreeBSD as a desktop since 3.5 or 4.0 (I forget). To any new 
users, it is well worth a try. When I was using circa 1995 hardware it was 
somewhat of a challange, but not any worse than DOS in the 80's or IBM in the 
70's. First it is pretty easy to try and if you want a complete system you can 
check out http://www.desktopbsd.net. Until my current laptop I never had enough 
resources to make desktopbsd an option, even if it had existed.


If you are running a FreeBSD server or plan to, getting FreeBSD running as your
desktop will expand your knowledge of FreeBSD and Unix in general. For me (old 
mainframe guy) this was invaluable. Everything you learn on the Desktop side 
will make you a better sysadmin.


X is the great leveler. Unless you are an X windows developer, when it does not 
work its a PROBLEM. With new hardware it mostly seems to work. But Xorg/XFree86 
is a constant. Running any BSD/Linux your problems will for the most part follow 
the hardware. Linux may have more/better(?) drivers but running Linux will not 
help you learn FreeBSD.


The other thing that may be problematic is, as the author of this thread 
indicates, java. However I happily run Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice all 
without installing java. I am sure it can be done, it is just not high on my 
list.


There is a lot of help to be had but you have to ask.

ACPI: Standby, sleep, suspend and resume

2006-11-25 Thread Erik Norgaard

Hi:

I have the following sysctl parameters:

hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5
hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE
hw.acpi.standby_state: S1
hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3
hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1

First, I'd like that the screen is switched off when the lid closes, so 
I assume that I should set hw.acpi.lid_switch_state to something, but I 
don't know what.


Second: Is there a way to manually toggle the sleep state so I can 
create a menu item sleep or standby?


Last: When the laptop goes into some suspend mode - I don't know which - 
I don't know how to bring it back alive except for rebooting. What is 
the secret key combination? (typically).


Thanks, Erik

Just out of curiosity, what version of FreeBSD started you as a proponent?  
Is long-time more than, say, six months?  Long enough to know how to 
compile a kernel?  Long enough to have used portupgrade?

I've been using FreeBSD productively for various combinations of server and 
desktop solutions since 3.4-RELEASE.  I'm glad to say that I cannot claim to 
never having problems with FreeBSD.  If that were true then I think I would 
never have learned anything.  Thankfully the learning curve is steep, and 
never seems to quite level out.

While I'll admit that the desktop features supported by FreeBSD are sometimes 
lacking, I recognize that FreeBSD does not itself provide a desktop 
interface.  Thus for desktop issues I turn to X.org, KDE.org, or whatever 
project handles the feature I'm interested in.

If you are actually interested in using FreeBSD on your desktop then maybe you 
don't know how to start.

Try this:  send a question to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  

If this is what you feel you've done with the subject line freebsd desktop | 
mozilla then ... maybe you could rephrase the question.  Something 
like when I type 'mozilla' I get the error message 'BORKED!' would be a 
little more helpful.

old modem?

2006-11-25 Thread Ranger


  Greetings to all,

  I just upgraded my old IBM 300PL from FreeBSD 4.2 - FreeBSD 6.1. 

  Everything works, as before EXCEPT my old USRobotics 33.6 modem
(with jumpers).

   

  6.1 doesn?t seem to find or recognize the modem.  It is set to
com1, IRQ4.

   

  KPPP finds the modem sometimes, like after a complete powerdown
then restart ? but does not initialize it or dial the numbers.

What I?m wondering is if this modem is too old for 6.1 to deal with. 
And, if so, what kind of modem is BEST for 6.1.

   

  I know this would be a question for ?newbies? but alas, ?newbies?
does not exist now-a-days.

   

  Please help, and thank you in advance.

Did you burn it as an ISO, to make a bootable disk?  This is one of the
options in many Windows CD packages such as Nero, and it is essential
that you do this.

  Greetings to all again,

I'm including my dmesg output, and asking for help figuring out my problem
finding the modem.

RE: Install problems

2006-11-25 Thread Mark Jose
Do you, by any chance, modify the bios settings for disks/cdrom during/after
installation?

Subject: Install problems

Hi,

 

Let me start by saying I am new to FreeBSD. I downloaded the iso, burned it
to disk and installed the software. However when I restart the pc after the
install I get an error message that it cannot find the kernel. I have gone
through the install several times already with the same results. Any idea on
what I could be doing wrong.

 

Thank you for your help.

RE: dmesg; modem?

2006-11-25 Thread Mark Jose
Does kppp keep a log somewhere? You have sio0 and sio1 so you should also
have a /dev/ttyd0  ttyd1 for those.
Check your /etc/ttys to see if the ttyd0 is being used by something else.
I guess we need more information - have you checked the /var/log/messages?
Anything in there?

Re: build fails for openoffice on amd64 system unning FreeBSD 6.1

2006-11-25 Thread Bartosz Fabianowski

Requested Range Not Satisfiable
[...]
local modification time does not match remote


These errors indicate that there is an incomplete distfile on your
system and fetch is unable to complete it. Simple delete
/usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice.org2.0/unowinreg.dll and try building
again. Fetch will now start the download from scratch and is much more
likely to succeed.
