Re: Linux 64bit compatability
Sorry, thanks for informing me. It's particularly frustrating since OSX IS FreeBSD, under the hood. WHEN will Apple show their gratitude? I suspect never. It's a give and take relationship. The FreeBSD community gave and Apple took. They don't even create a FreeBSD version of iTunes. A-holes. Keep fighting, brother. 2011/10/11 Любомир Григоров nm.kn...@gmail.com Yes, and unfortunately, there is a s...ton of software that is only Win/OSX/Linux, and a lot of it is 64bit. So unless FreeBSD's marketing team starts talking to all major corporations to ship native FreeBSD versions, emulation will be required. At this time there is no 64bit Linux emulation. I was told to ask here about the status of 64bit emulation. This list is as appropriate as it gets. 2011/10/11 Steven Friedrich steven.e.friedr...@gmail.com FreeBSD is NOT linux.

Should I upgrade it to the most recent 6.x and then to 7.x and then to 8.x? Or should I use a more direct route, upgrading it straight to the 8-RELEASE branch? You'll almost certainly find it quicker and less painful to just reinstall using an up to date version of FreeBSD. Personally, I'd go and buy a new hard drive for the machine, install the latest OS and applications on that and then copy over data etc. It helps if you can have both drives mounted in the same machine at once. There are variations on this theme -- for instance if your server has mirrored HDDs then you can split the mirror, re-install on one half, reconcile configurations, data, user accounts between the two halves and ultimately resynch the old drive to the new one. The big advantage of this sort of approach is that you get your new install up and running and tested before you need to commit to the potentially irreversible step of overwriting your last copy of the old one.

Re: Portupgrade Package Question
On Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:35:28 -0400 b. f. articulated: This is the tag that you would use on src collections to update your base system sources (usually in /usr/src) to 8-STABLE. You would use RELENG_8_2 for the 8.2-STABLE security branch, RELENG_8_2_RELEASE for 8.2-RELEASE, and so on. Reading through the archives, several years worth, it appears that this is one of the most frequently asked questions. Many users, both new (obviously) and some not so new get confused as to what is the proper tag to use for each branch; ie Stable Current, etc.Maybe there should be some way to make it easier to understand. For example: 8.2-RELEASE: original release of code sans any updates, etc. 8.2-STABLE: released version plus security updates 8.2-CURRENT: All updates, security otherwise to the original version ?-CURRENT: The absolute latest release of FreeBSD irregardless of what version it is. Anyway, it is just a suggestion. In any case I think it might be easier for some to comprehend. Anything that eliminates confusion is a plus. I have 34 years experience as a Data Systems technician, system admin, developer, and tech writer, yet I till won't claim I know everything, so please don't flame me. Constructive, polite criticism is welcome. I began my career before Unix or MicroSucks even existed. It is a misnomer to attach a release number to current or stable. CURRENT is called HEAD in source code control vernacular. CURRENT's number is transient. It is often incorrectly referred to as 9. Please refrain from such usage. It is technically incorrect and confuses users who have no knowledge of source code control. Same goes for STABLE. In my opinion, the real confusion is in ascertaining what you SHOULD be using. If you want to run FreeBSD, KDE, gnome, etc., as a PRODUCTION machine, yo should NOT be using CURRENT or STABLE. You should be installing a RELEASE on a TEST machine, verify that ALL your user applications have no showstopper anomales, and DEPLOY the release AFTER testing has given you a great dela of confidence in the software. You should JUMP from a release to the next release, using the testing and deployment mentioned. You WILL get security updates if you track a release, such as 8.2. But again, don't just update your sources and deploy. TEST it on a test machine, before exposing your end users to it. This is referred to as PROFESSIONALISM. The ONLY people that should be tracking STABLE or CURRENT are the people who DON'T need their hand held for system administration. If you violate this protocol, you will be taking developers time away from development to TRAIN you in system admin. PLEASE don't. Hope this helps and if it offends you, please take the time to think about it before you flame me. ___ 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
KDE on FreeBSD

HP Pavilion zd8000 Xorg anomaly
My system had crashed and it caused a directory to los it's dot and dot-dot entries. This was a directory that was used for iso-codes and everytie I started X, it would hang. So I didn't want to format the drive, too extreme. So I de-installed all my ports to re-install. After I got the ports un-installed, I was able to fix the filesystem problem with fsck. I tried beforehand,but it was way too many fsck issues. Anyway, I have somehow LOST my xorg.conf that WORKED. It was previously generated by xorg -configure. That doesn't work anymore. I am only able to us the vesa driver now. So I'm stuck with 1024x768, instead of 1440x900. I believe this was caused by the recent xorg update. I had been stable with X for YEARS. -- System Name: laptop2.StevenFriedrich.org Window Manager(s): kde4-4.5.5_1 X Window System: xorg-7.5.1X.Org X Server 1.7.7 OS version: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE i386 (5.2 MB kernel) Platform:HP pavilion zd8000 (zd8215us) CPU: 2.80GHz Intel Pentium 4 (HTT) with 2 GB memory FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386) Installed devices: pcm0: Intel ICH6 (82801FB) (play/rec) default ___ 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

Subject: sudo anomaly
I have a userID, admin, that I add to my systems to use when I
perform system admin functions. I also use this ID when using
X-windows, never starting X as root user.
So I needed to check my mail for daily run outputs and so I tried to
use su then mail, but I got admin's mail. So I exited su, and tried
sudo mail. I got root's mailbox nd I deleted all but two emails.
When I q(uit) mail, it said it saved 2 messages in mbox. But when I
try to go back in it says I don't have any mail. There is no root
directory in /var/mail.
All that is correct.
Did sudo lose my mbox?
Nope. _you_ did.
The good news is that you merely misplaced it -- it _is_ were it's
always been, you're just looking in the wrong place for it.`
'mbox' != 'incoming mailbox'
Can anyone verify this anomaly?
no anomaly. simple *USER* error.
Look in root's _HOME_DIRECTORY_. You'll find a file called 'mbox'
=there=.
That's where 'already read' mail is saved.
When logged in as root, use 'mail -f mbox' to see your old mail.
BTW, if you 'su root' and _then_ set evnrionment variable 'USER' to
'root', mail(1) _will_ fetch root's mail.
Thanks. I used mail under unix eons ago, and I don't remember ever having
to use a switch to get saved mail, but perhaps I've simply forgotten. I
use KMail and Thunderbird (under Winblows), but I needed to check daily
output scripts...
did you use 'su root' or 'su - root'? the '-' makes a humongous
difference.
Thanks, I had forgotten about that...

How do I create a 40x40 pixel monochrome mage for KMail?
I've noticed that several apps support images of the user, such as KMail, which supports a 40x40 pixel jpeg. I have a webcam, but it won't take a monochrome picture and it doesn't snapshot all the resolutions that it can display in. In particular, I tried the two lowest and the lowest, sqcif, isn't supported by my webcam and qsif seg faults. Those would have been 128x96 and 160x120. I figured that if I used the lowest resolution, I could crop out a 40x40 image. Kopete also supports a 200x200 pixel image, but I think it requires exactly 200x200, so 128x96 won't work. I thought that someone said they used kamera to take a snapshot with their webcam but Logitech webcams aren't listed. I can take one with pwcview, which is what I was talking about above. ___ 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

uath under FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE
I installed FreeBSD8.0-RELEASE so I could see if it's compatible with my Netgear WG111T (this is newly supported in 8.0). Not surprising, uath (the new driver) is not in GENERIC (oopps, yes it is), so I copied GENERIC to LAPTOP3 and commented out most of the drivers, since I don't need them. I ensured that uath was not commented. Please note, as I wrote this I checked GENERIC and uath IS there, but it didn't get loaded because I don't see it with ifconfig... I added KERNCONF=LAPTOP3 to /etc/make.conf, went to /usr/src and rebuilt just the kernel, figuring the world was already sync'ed with GENERIC. The uath isn't showing up after a reboot. Do I need to buildworld/installworld or do I have to use uathload to load firmware?

If you want help, assuming that people are idiots is not going to get you very far. Especially when most of us can't reproduce what you're seeing. Perhaps you have an older set of ports? If you can figure out where the dependency came from on your system, it would be a start towards other people being able to provide advice. Good luck.

I hold nix people in the highest regard. I've been running FreeBSD since 1.1.5 (or something like that, it was in what I believe was the very first FreeBSD book published). But I must admit, I'm still struggling to maintain my systems. For example, I believe that this libdrm dependency that I say cairo has is because cairo has two configurable options, Glitz and XCB. I have both selected. Some ports have config options but I can't find any doc that tells me what other ports might benefit from them. Perhaps no other ports can utilize cairo Glitz OpenGL support? I went to their web site and read their doc, but that doesn't yield FreeBSD specific info. I removed all ports, and /usr/local and /var/db/pkg, as suggested by Manolis. I updated my ports tree and make fetchindex, but many ports are failing and I have to go to their directory and make reinstall, sometimes I also have to make clean. I think this is caused by the fetched INDEX being slightly out of date with the tree. I think this wouldn't happen with portsdb -uU. I've started with no ports and added xorg and portupgrade. I'm now installing gnome2. I checked the installed packages with pkg_info and noticed that cairo is installed and I checked it;s dependencies and libdrm is there again.

make installworld is failing
It's trying to install zh locale stuff. In make.conf, I set DOC to en_something, so why is it doing other languages? This has been occurring for a short while and I've been getting around it with make -k installworld. But that no longer works. I'm tracking the 7.2 (RELENG_7). Here's an excerpt from the log: === share/timedef (install) install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 nb_NO.ISO8859-1.out /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME install: /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME: Too many levels of symbolic links *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/share/timedef. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. I am able to work around this issue by placing WITHOUT_LOCALES=yes in /etc/src.conf, but I hate to do that 8o) Any ideas? -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509 ___ 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

The solution is to remove one symlink and replace it with a real file as shown below: rm -f /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME touch /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME Now /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a symbolic link and /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a real (albeot zero length) file. And, yes, someone ought to fix this in CVS. -- Greg -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509 ___ 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

As Lowell already said, I can't find any dependency between libdrm and cairo. My guess is you package database has one or more stale dependencies. However, if the purpose is to wipe all packages you don't even have to bother with pkg_delete. In such cases I simply rm /usr/local and /var/db/pkg (Keep /var/db/pkg/linux_base-fc* if you are using the linux binary compatibility, as this is not installed in /usr/local but /usr/compat). I do this routinely on test systems. On a system with cairo installed, try pkg_info -r cairo\*|grep drm Here's from one of my systems: Dependency: libdrm-2.4.9 Since I used pkg_delete -a to get rid of all ports and packages, I couldn't have any stale dependencies, could I ? After that I went to /usr/ports/x11/xorg and did a make install and it failed. My ports are recent, I'm tracking 7.2-RC1, etc. -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509 ___ 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
