KDE translucent fails after upgrade
Hello, I've portupgraded my xorg and kde, after this my kde translucent settings don't work anymore and I receive a 'composite manager failed' while logging in. If I disable the translucency, the error disappears but I would like it back working. Running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, X.Org X Server 1.4.0, KDE 3.5.8 in xorg.conf Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection In Xorg.0.Log --- (**) Extension "Composite" is enabled How can I solve this problem. (Or should I post this to the KDE or X.org support ?) Am I forgetting something?

Using brandelf
Can you use brandelf to read the elf type of a binary? The man page shows a usage that might possibly do this, but doesn't bother to say what that usage does. To be honest, I need to do some work with the linux stuff, and the usage of /compat/linux and /usr/compat/linux, well, I don't understand, and I haven't seen a good enough explanation yet. Stuff like the ld.so.conf file to configure linux's ldconfig, it assumes the /compat/linux prefix. Do all the binaries do that? I mean, the browser files, they use a sh scri[t to kick them off, do they use that prefix, or assume stuff?

Data management (devel) and network size increase
I know there are quite a few members here who have grown through ranks and network size increases since I've joined this list, hence I'll ask my question here. Pardon the length, but if you follow through, I'm certain I'll get good feedback. Problem: Our network has grown exponentially in the last few years (without extensive forward-looking thought), and I have development work, data files etc on each server that has been implemented. Todo: Overhaul the entire network from Layer 1 up. Need: To be able to access data very quickly no matter what box I am on, and to do it securely. More in depth: Let's assume I have 30 servers, all within one PoP. Instead of having to SSH into server 'A' from server 'C' to look for a file I need for a program I have written (or just a normal data file), I want a way that I can have one source of ALL my data, then from ALL servers, be able to: # find /home/steve -name file.name Instead, I have to either remember (yeah, good luck), or guess what server the file is on, look for it remotely, then scp it over. For development, I had CVS set up at one point, but I found it to be too much effort for my simple tasks (I was probably using it beyond what I needed). I know about NFS, but I've heard it is a hassle to initially configure and relatively insecure. (This is not my stand, and I'm willing to be corrected). Does anyone have some recommendations on how I can consolidate my data (including development (almost all Perl)), so that it can be accessed as I would a local directory tree? Beyond that, also a suggestion on particularly the development files. If CVS is the way for that, I'll do it, but file management/access is more important. A key factor will be the ease of implementation of a new server into the mix. I have no problem throwing up a box with GELI, but it's gaining the access to the data like it were a local drive I want to make easy. Make sense?

And in case of a free software app, others can use it as well, _and_ help you with bugfixing. :-) For closed source stuff submitting a port would probably be useless. Usually configure scripts have options that allow you to tell it where to look for header files and libraries. You can also use the environment variables CPATH (for include files) and LIBRARY_PATH that tell gcc where to look. After installing a shared library, you need to run ldconfig so the system can find it at runtime. Usually this is done by make install, but it can't hurt to make sure.

So my question is, should I be changing my path, is there a standard variable I need to export, or what? Obviously for ports this just works, so I've never had to do it. I'm sure there's a standard way, so I thought I'd get in the habit of doing that right from the start... Thoughts?

Storing variable in Bash
I am attempting to write a script that will work on files stored in an array.
The function is supposed to strip the files extension and then store the name
of the file as a variable. This is what I have so far.
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
declare -a fname
declare -i count
declare -i limit
fname=( `ls *.sh | tr '\n' ' '` )
count=${#fname[*]}
limit=0
while [ ${limit} -lt ${count} ]; do
echo ${fname[$limit]} | sed -e ``/.sh/s///''
# do something here
limit=$((limit+1))
done
What I want to do is store the file in a variable. I have tried this:
F_Name=echo ${fname[$limit]} | sed -e ``/.sh/s///''
As well as:
F_Name=( `echo ${fname[$limit]} | sed -e ``/.sh/s///''` )
along with several different variants of it, but without success. I continually
receive an error message. Due to a particular situation, I cannot use
'basename' to accomplish this task.
Is there anyway that this can be done?
Thanks!

xdm woes
Hi, I recently purchased a new computer (well, purchased the components and put them together). The hardware is ASUS P5B Premium, nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT, 2-channel JMicron JMB 363 PCIe card, Intel Core2 Quad Q6600, six Samsung HD501LJ CR100-10 HDDs striped using gstripe (used for storage), one Samsung SP1614C SW100-30 HDD used as system disk (/, /usr, /var and /home). I'm running 7.0-BETA3 and Xorg 7.3, with the nv driver that comes with Xorg (nVIDIA's own driver refuses to compile with the message that 7.0 & -CURRENT aren't supported. Now for my problem. Everything works like a charm, except for one small annoyance. If I run xdm, everything hangs when I log out. The monitor just turns black and i get no response whatsoever for neither the mouse nor the keyboard. The only thing that works is shutting the computer off (by quickly pushing aqnd releasing the power button, so the OS shuts down using ACPI). This happens every time. No matter what window manager I use. But it only happens when I use xdm. If I start X with startx, it shuts down cleanly and returns to the tty from which I ran startx. The only clue I've been able to find about this is in /var/log/xdm.log (which I'm enclosing). I'd be happy to share my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files as well (and any other files that might help solving this too for that matter), but because of their sizes I'll only do that on request. I haven't touched any of the X and xdm resource files excpet xorg.conf. my /var/log/xdm.log looks like this (the last line confuses me): X.Org X Server 1.4.0 Release Date: 5 September 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 i386 Current Operating System: FreeBSD trapper.homedns.org 7.0-BETA3 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 #0: Sun Nov 18 02:13:50 CET 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAZLAR i386 Build Date: 20 November 2007 05:09:57PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I also use both CUPS and OOo; in fact, I just got through rebuilding OOo-2.3.0.1. If you build from ports, and watch the early stages of the process, you'll see a number of options mentioned. If you use portupgrade, you can set them in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.cfg. Note: this will _only_ work when using portupgrade. It is also possible to put these settings in /etc/make.conf. However, there are reasons to not do so; see discussions on either questions@ or ports@ within the last month for further discussion.

Since you are determined to proceed against recommendations it is hard to help you.I wouldn't be surprised if you do not get many responses. You know, there was a time when the handbook and man security actually recommended NOT using the port and building from scratch -- and if you want the finest-grained control over what you're building this is still the case, especially when some features haven't made it into ports yet. (Like, oh...when the whole of the ports tree goes into a freeze for a release that's "upcoming" but doesn't have a todo list, a schedule, or anything else on the FBSD site). Actually, someone (two different someones) managed to answer both issues. The ports issue was caused by stale cruft in /var/db/pkg and the fix was to remove basically all the automake/autotools/autoconf packages and start over. I also said "screw it" and nuked the apr-db42 port (for reasons mentioned earlier). Apache from ports then built fine (which meant I had an option to fall back on, if need be). Someone on the APR-devel list pointed out that I can do a setenv to define CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to include /usr/local/lib to fix build issues. This allowed apache2-non-ports to compile. However the question in my mind that still bears answering is: why apr would FIND such a library as installed (i.e. not fail at configure-time) but then fail to compile. I.e. why does the APR not set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS correctly. This is not a question for -questions, but I'm stating it here in case anyone has similar issues. -Dan -- "Is Gushi a person or an entity?"

And on a SuSE system I've been called in to maintain the
webserver is on /srv/www while the conf files are in
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf.
About the only thing you can count on is that the files will be
somewhere on the system, and hopefully in your $PATH.
If the OP would take a look at 'man hier' he would see
how all of the FreeBSD things should be laid out.
Having things under /usr - instead of the top directory which it
appears the OP has as he said he wanted one directory - will
make upgrades a bit more difficult.
One of the nice things about keeping just the OS on / and
all other addons on a /usr >filesystem< is that you can unmount
/usr and rebuild the entire OS, remaking / is you wish, and lose
nothing of your local addons. It's a very intelligent design
IMO and it frustrates me when I got to different Linux systems [I
run FreeBSD at the ISP] and so many things are in different places.
It seems that some do this just ot differentiate them. But then
again I have not looked at all 300+ Linux distros. At least
the BSD derived variants are remarkable similar - and follow most
the same hierarchy for the past 20 years.
If the user weren't so set on just one filesystem [which is how I
remember the first part of the thread starting] he'd be running
now. And woe be the day that / gets corrupted with everything
in one place. My worsts instances of this was years ago when
data had to be saved, and / could be mounted ro as therw
was no lost+found space left. [The old SysIII and SySV system
could not expand lost+found].
So I spend the next 3 days running / in ro mode and then copying
and/or taring the needed data onto floppies for restore once the
OS was reinstalled. After maintaing Unix system [ and variants] on
a least 6 different CPU bases since 1983 - I'm hard-coded to
having separate file systems.
Never turn your back on a running computer.

I'm doing a zpool scrub to exercise my system and noticed one strange thing when looking at the output of 'systat -vm': Disks ad0 ad1 ad4 ad6 ar0 ar1 KB/t 44.87 44.71 45.47 45.44 0.00 0.00 tps 162 163 160 162 0 0 MB/s 7.11 7.13 7.11 7.18 0.00 0.00 %busy 100 1006362 0 0 where: ad0: 305245MB at ata0-master SATA150 ad1: 305245MB at ata0-slave SATA150 ad4: 305245MB at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 305245MB at ata3-master SATA150 are connected to: atapci0: port 0xb000-0xb03f,0xb400-0xb40f,0xb800-0xb87f mem 0xfc024000-0xfc024fff,0xfc00-0xfc01 irq 23 at device 4.0 on pci4 atapci1: port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xf000-0xf00f irq 18 at device 31.2 on pci0 and my zpool is: config: NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM r4x320 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1ONLINE 0 0 0 ad0s1d ONLINE 0 0 0 ad1s1d ONLINE 0 0 0 ad4 ONLINE 0 0 0 ad6 ONLINE 0 0 0 Why is %busy so different when the disks are doing the same thing? The only difference is the SATA controllers and zfs using a slice on half of them and a whole disk with the other half. What is taken into account when calculating %busy?

pcmcia modem yiso c893 support
Hi, Some one already made this modem work in FreeBSD ? This card seams to be introduce some usb serial port in the system, but at my computer this is recognized as generic ugen device but none of the modules that I tried to load (ucom, uplcom, etc) bind this to a valid serial port... Any ideas ? Regards, ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Does 7.0-BETA2 still have debug options like 6.0-BETA did?
Yuri wrote: When 6.0 was in BETA kernel had many options like WITNESS/INVARIANTS. User-land also has some special options. Those options made FreeBSD-BETA much slower. Are any similar options "on" now in 7.0-BETA2? What is the complete list? I can only find an option "makeoptions DEBUG=-g" in sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. But it feels slower than 6.3. No it does not have debug options enabled.

FreeBSD, 160GB HD, and a Bios limitation
> Hi there > > I have a 600mhz PIII computer with an older BIOS that will not > recognize my 160GB new HD that I installed for use with FreeBSD. > > I can install FBSD if I limit the drive to 32GB, but before I settle > with that, is there a way I can access the entire drive |Have you tried and failed to install FreeBSD? I have successfully installed FreeBSD with the drive limited to 32GB. I have also successfully installed FreeBSD withthe drive set to 160GB, although FBSD seems to see only 120GB of that, and also displays the following warning during install: "WARNING: A gemoetry of 248015/16/63 for ad0 is incorrect. Using a more likely geometry. If this geometry is incorrect or you are unsure as to whether or not it's correct, please consult the Hardware Guide int he Documentation submenu or use the (G)eometry command to change it now. Remember: you need to enter whatever your BIOS thinks the geometry is! For IDE, it's what you were told in the BIOS setups. For SCSI, it's the translation mode your controller is using. Do NOT use a "physical geomtery."" I did not find a solution in the documentation. Using the (G)eometry command is something I don't understand. :) My BIOS reads the drive fine when it is limited to 32GB, or when the drive is limited to less than 66GB (The drive size can by limited via a utility from Seagate ... i determined that using a size of 61GB works fine in the BIOS, but using 66BG does not work in the BIOS. There's probably an exact figure between 61 and 66GB where the maximum is, but I decided not to do further tests) Here's what FDISK reports during the FBSD install: http://imagebin.org/11910 I used the "all" command here. Using the Seagate utility, the drive had earlier been set to 160GB, yet the installer sees 120GB here, it seems. DMESG report here: http://imagebin.org/11911 df -h command result here: http://imagebin.org/11912 If FreeBSD can use 120GB of the 160GB available, that's GREAT! I'd be happy with that. But will there be any problems since the bios reports only that a maximum drive size of 61-66GB is OK? If I select a disk size larger than the 61GB figure (roughly) BIOS locks up on the hard drive menu (the computer will boot, but if i try and view the HD section of the BIOS menu, bios locks up and i have to ctrl-alt-del). If FReeBSD can see 120GB, what happened to the other 40GB? Is there a danger that I could wind up writing data to nowhere or having some other disk problem if I install FBSD this way? |Normally the limititation is just that the root partition must be within |the area that the bios can see.

Re: FreeBSD-7.0 fails to compile after upgrade
Quoting Yuri Pankov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Yes, that's what I'm talking about, you don't have any optimizations > (-Ox) in flags to cc and that's why it fails. Make sure that you don't > have CFLAGS set to '' in your environment or elsewhere (cd /usr/src ; > make -V CFLAGS will show your current settings). Interesting. Still not clear why would this error be caused bythe lack of -Ox option. 6.3 was compiling successfully with the same CFLAGS. I had some -I in CFLAGS. And didn't realize that system build picks up optimization options from there instead of appending them to existing CFLAGS.

Re: who do I report this to?
Can you please STOP cross posting to various mailinglists all at once? It is causing all kinds of unneeded messages to various addresses (yeah I am now guilty of that as well); stop it. If you have issues with if_re, please ask it's maintainer for support, and rule that out first and then proceed to the next item if the problem still continues, generating loads of emails with "my " content which includes "but this and this and this and this might also be the combination" etc is NOT going to help resolve this because the options are too legio (could be the software, could be your hardware, could be a user flaw, could be the remote switch etc). Please do it step by step with the maintainers as much as possible, and where possible please try to avoid overloading the mailinglists with things you run into on a day by day basis, personally I find it not very interesting to read them anymore because "its just another thing", that might not be the thing we are persuing here, but with all of your emails, I do get this feeling. //Remko On Tue, November 20, 2007 8:11 am, Aryeh M.
