ATI HD 4650 (RV730) driver ?

Problems building en-openoffice.org-GB-3.1.1 from ports
After successfully moving from 6.4 to 8.0 by doing a clean install I've embarked on the task of rebuilding OpenOffice from ports :-( I'm getting a confusing error in the config stage: === Configuring for en-openoffice.org-GB-3.1.1 snip checking for gperf... /backup/tmp/ports/work/usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/work/OOO310_m19/solenv/bin/gperf checking gperf version... /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libstdc++.so.5 not found, required by gperf test: : bad number configure: error: too old, you need at least 3.0.0 === Script configure failed unexpectedly. True enough I don't have a native libstdc++.so.5 . /usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-portbld-freebsd6.4/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/local/lib/compat/libstdc++.so.4 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.10 The only similar problem I could find on Google was a post to the freebsd-ports list 2 years ago where someone had a problem with a pre-built package of OpenOffice except that it required libstdc++.so.6 and he had libstdc++.so.5. So I'm puzzled why now, 2 years later, OpenOffice needs an older version of libstdc++.so. As an experiment I added a link for libstdc++.so.5 in /usr/lib and this stopped the message about libstdc++.so.5 but produced a new one about libm.so.4 not being found, and still complained about gperf being too old. I've now put this task on the back burner while I ask for advice here instead of digging an even deeper hole for myself. I assume that at least 3.0.0 refers to the version of gperf but I already have gperf-3.0.3.

Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your reply. The only point that remains to be made is that I
find the 'Cheers' at the end of your message quite ironic.
Being the owner of 2 kittens, I must dutifully assert that there is
nothing to cheer about under the current situation. For the three of us,
it has been a long-standing favourite pastime to watch Chuck in action.
We would miss football (for some reason called soccer in the US) games /
cricket games / movies / all other forms of entertainment, just to wait
and watch for Chuck to show up. My kittens never managed to grab him,
despite numerous valiant efforts. But this never undermined the
fascination all three of us shared for Chuck.
If ever the FreeBSD operating system or AMD processors had a bug, this
would be it. Above all, even to someone not in love with cats, having a
genial and smiling mouse would be infinitely preferable to having such a
nasty bug.
Cheers

Program to create/update Windows 'thumbs.db' files?
List, Is there a program for BSD/linux which will walk a directory tree and create/update the Windows, 'thumbs.db' files? Something quite the opposite of vinetto. I was thinking of doing this on one of our media servers. I'd put said command in a cron job. Network clients would have faster access to thumbnails. Everybody is happy. BUT! I can't let the clients do this themselves, as these network shares are strictly read-only. I don't really want to sit at a windows computer for the rest of eternity clicking each folder in turn and waiting for the thumbs file to update. Just thought there might be something already out there to do this. Thanks! Happy new year everyone. -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Finally, a little feedback: On a Windows Vista system, AVG screamed that the netcat.exe from ssvnc_windows_only-1.0.25.zip was a virus (don't think it is, just mentioning it). Yes, that is for the little used port-knocking feature (you can delete it if it causes a persistant annoyance.) AV software tends to have a knee-jerk reaction to netcat because it is often in a rootkit. OTOH on Unix netcat/nc is often installed by default (and so SSVNC uses the system one there.) I don't feel like writing C program for Windows to do what I need from netcat.exe only to avoid the AV triggers. The TightVNC server on that Vista machine will connect with the FreeBSD ssvncviewer, and the ssvncviewer console window shows status information, but no graphic window opens on the FreeBSD system. Could you show me (via this thread or private email) the ssvncviewer console window printout for when this happens? I might spot a problem. Please include all of the output from the very beginning. (BTW, if you don't know how to scroll or select all of the text in xterm feel free to ask me.) The FreeBSD TightVNC vncviewer opens a window but has real trouble keeping the display updated, no doubt due to Vista. Finally, the UltraVNC server with special Vista video drivers works usably with ssvncviewer. I've seen things like this. Can SSL be used with a Windows VNC server? Yes. In a SSVNC Windows bundle look for an the the stunnel example provided in: Windows/util/stunnel-server.conf You run stunnel.exe on that conf file (modified to your needs), and the traffic goes thru stunnel. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It's not really a one-size fits all problem - it depends on which channels you use and whether you want sa-compile (which isn't supported by either script quoted). Of course both of these scripts could be easily modified to meet local needs. The second script already had some customization hooks built in. sa-update is very cheap to run - if there's no update it's just a dns lookup. If you're using the auto-generated sought rules you may wish to update several times a day. OTOH sa-compile is very cpu intensive, and once a day may be too much. That is all true. If you are maintaining a high traffic site (for which sa-compile would be useful) then you will probably be rolling your own maintenance scripts anyway. But none of this is not a reason to not include something like these in the SA port. Alternatively, if someone were sufficiently motived they could put together an SA utilities port that installs a number of maintenance scripts which a user can enable. One other thing is that just I always use sa-update with --gpghomedir. If you use the default you loose any third-party public keys each time the SA port is reinstalled. That is useful to know. Thank you both for your help on getting me to maintain my system better.

Dunno what in the up-to-date ports tree would need gcc-3.4 since the base system is now up to gcc-4.2, and that's quite capable of compiling OOo.

For some obscure reason that I was never able to solve I could never get X to work with my GeForce 6150 chipset on FreeBSD 6.4 with any of the more recent Nvidia drivers so I assumed I'd still need to use this version. Perhaps it's time to see if the latest driver will work for me with 8.0 so that I can get rid of compat5x . /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 ^^^ the version from 8.0 base system libstdc++.so.5 would be part of a 7.x base system, but as you've gone to 8.0 by doing a clean install, nothing should be referencing that version.

At a guess you haven't followed the often repeated advice to reinstall /all/ your ports when you do a major version upgrade. That means recompile from source in correct dependency order, or install pkgs compiled under 8.0. Yes, it's tedious. Yes, it consumes a lot of CPU cycles. But now you understand why this is good advice... It certainly looks like that but it's not the case here. Being aware of the time and disruption needed to rebuild everything I decided not to upgrade the existing 6.4 system but to build 8.0 from scratch on a spare slice. That way I could install the ports as and when time permitted and still be able to reboot back into a fully functional system when needed for production work. I've just now run portupgrade -f gperf and things are looking a bit more promising. ldd /usr/local/bin/gperf now shows: /usr/local/bin/gperf: libstdc++.so.6 = /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x33ca2000) libm.so.5 = /lib/libm.so.5 (0x33d96000) libgcc_s.so.1 = /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x33db) libc.so.7 = /lib/libc.so.7 (0x33dbb000) ... and the build of OpenOffice ran through the configure stage without any problems so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll still be compiling tomorrow. Even if OpenOffice builds OK I think I've still got problems to solve. A trawl through /usr/local/bin shows that there's lots of program with links to missing libraries. I suspect I'm going to have to do portupgrade -af and rebuild all the ports. -- Mike Clarke ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your reply. The only point that remains to be made is that I
find the 'Cheers' at the end of your message quite ironic.
Being the owner of 2 kittens, I must dutifully assert that there is
nothing to cheer about under the current situation. For the three of us,
it has been a long-standing favourite pastime to watch Chuck in action.
We would miss football (for some reason called soccer in the US) games /
cricket games / movies / all other forms of entertainment, just to wait
and watch for Chuck to show up. My kittens never managed to grab him,
despite numerous valiant efforts. But this never undermined the
fascination all three of us shared for Chuck.
If ever the FreeBSD operating system or AMD processors had a bug, this
would be it. Above all, even to someone not in love with cats, having a
genial and smiling mouse would be infinitely preferable to having such a
nasty bug.
Cheers

I can report that logo_saver works great on FreeBSD-CURRENT/amd64 with vesa
loaded and options SC_PIXEL_MODE in the kernel configuration. Vesa support
for amd64 systems was introduced after FreeBSD 8 was branched.
