Re: Minecraft sound (ALSA)
Yes thank you :) I just had to remove .asoundrc and now it's working :)
Am 14.09.2012 17:39, schrieb Stephan Schindel:
Hey guys!
I would like to play Minecraft on my FreeBSD box, so I installed
games/minecraft-client. It starts, but I do not have any sound. The
reason for that is that Minecraft uses ALSA and ALSA does not find any
soundcards:
Starting up SoundSystem...
Initializing LWJGL OpenAL
(The LWJGL binding of OpenAL. For more information, see
http://www.lwjgl.org)
AL lib: alsa.c:960: no playback cards found...
AL lib: alsa.c:1017: no capture cards found...
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function
snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory
I am not sure what to do here and how to wrap my OSS system in an ALSA
system. I installed audio/alsa-lib, audio/alsa-plugins and
audio/alsa-utils. My asoundrc looks like this at the moment:
pcm.oss {
type oss
device /dev/dsp
}
However I cannot play any MP3s via aplay. Do you have any ideas?

You need to use ${UNIQUENAME}_SET, and to find the UNIQUENAME you need to;

Thanks for this.

Now we know it's apache22, we can use:
I tried this with postfix and the postfix-current port and both
returned the same unique name. Is that to be expected? I would have
though that two different ports would return different unique names.

Matthias, Polytropon:

Thank you for your answers.
I am using KDE 3.5.10. I would like to use FreeBSD as a desktop machine
for replacing openSUSE if it is possible at all.
I don't see a reason why this shouldn't be possible. Many years
ago, FreeBSD 4 obsoleted Linux as my home desktop, and I do not
regret the choice. Depending on what _you_ actually *do* with
your computer, there _may_ be certain obstacles.
For clarity, I do not need exactly kinternet, I want only an GUI frontend
for pppdial which possibly resides in system tray and can be used to
control
network connections.
As I said, I've heared of a tool named kppp, and according to
the traditional naming convention in KDE (of _that_ time), I
assume this is a KDE program for dealing with ppp. Even though
networking is done at OS level which doesn't have such a tight
integration with desktop environments as this is done in
Linux (as the big three desktop environments are quite
Linux-centric), ppp can be invoked by the user (if he has
been granted the required permissions by the system administrator).
If a KDE program can communicate with the ppp command line
tool, it should work.
Well the trouble is that KPPP only ever supported pppd, and FreeBSD had
finally dropped pppd by 8.0. Many users requested user ppp(8) support
in KDE and specifically KPPP, since nearly everyone was using ppp(8)
even while pppd was supported. KDE folks showed no interest, and noone
on our side worked on adding ppp(8) support - as I recall, anyway :)
No wonder Linux folks hide pppd operation in wrappers and tray gadgets;
manually configuring pppd on Mandrake or Debian with half a zillion conf
files is a job best left to robots, indeed. It wasn't nearly so bad on
FreeBSD, as detailed in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ppp.html
(for FreeBSD 7.X only) but pppd still lacked functionality that had been
straightforward in ppp(8) since at least '98 when I set it up for ISP
dialout and 3 dialup 33.6kbps modems .. no X on that box of course.
In openSUSE kinternet is a frontend for smpppd package.
smpppd requires ppp. I will try to look into it whether smpppd can
work with FreeBSD's ppp.
That sounds like an interesting approach. Good luck!
On this 8.2-R system I checked /usr/ports; no mention of smpppd.
grepping /usr/ports/net/* for pppd|PPPD found a few things, including a
port of pppd itself, presumably one could install that.
t23% find /usr/ports -iname \*smpppd\*
t23% find /usr/ports/net -exec grep -Hi smpppd {} \;
t23% find /usr/ports/net -exec grep -Hi pppd {} \;

/usr/ports/net/xisp/pkg-descr:The xisp package implements a
user-friendly X interface to pppd/chat
The latter might be of use with the ports pppd 2.3 (or later by now)
The xisp package implements a user-friendly X interface to pppd/chat
and provides maximum feedback from the dial-in and login phases on a
browser screen, as well as a manual login terminal window. It also
provides greater versatility in interrupting a call in progress and in
general enhances the user's feeling of what's going on, especially
if he/she is not all that well acquainted with the intricacies of
system log files. Xisp also has means to track your phonecosts.
WWW: http://xisp.hellug.gr/;
So if suseuser wants to stick with the familiar rather than learning to
use FreeBSD's ppp(8), perhaps some of that may help.
I know that's basically possible. Many years ago, I wrote
a Tcl/Tk-based frontend with buttons to enable / disable
the connection, see the status and the elapsed time. If
that has been possible, chances are good that KDE in its
much advanced manner has something comparable.
Maybe there's something new in KDE4. I'm sticking with 3.5 on my T23;
I only have 768MB RAM :) and it does everything I need on the desktop.
It's not that hard to setup KDE desktop bottons to run whatever scripts
you might need to start/stop/whatever with user ppp(8), but I've never
bothered since mpd does a fine job of fulltime PPPoE, and gkrellm keeps
and displays good

It's where the group ownership of a file gives it fewer permissions than are allowed for the world in general. Suppose you have a file with these permissions and ownership: foo bar -rwx---r-x The owner -- foo -- has full read, write and execute permissions on the file. Anyone has read and execute permissions. But the group -- bar -- has no permissions. Now, logically, you might think that the world permissions would override the lack of group permissions, but in fact, that's not what happens. Permissions like that mean 'everyone *except* members of group bar can read and execute this. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

It's also 'convenient' for an anonymous ftp 'upload' directory -- set the upload directory permissions to '-w--w-rw-' and any 'username' in the 'anonymous' group can only upload files to that directory -- can't get a directory listing, read any files, or change directory. BUT, any 'non-anonymous' user _can_ do those things. There are many kinds of special case scenarios where it is desirable to make something 'generally available' to ths users, but -deny- access to a specific group of users. Negative permissions is a simple, and simplistic, approach to the issue -- but it is a 'traditional' one, from the days before extended access-control lists. ___ 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
[SOLVED] Upgrade to 8.3 broke pam_ldap
