How to get an overview of the installed ports
Hello, I've installed some apps and deinstalled them again because I didn't like them. While installing them other software was installed too but I think it wasn't removed when I removed the unwanted programms. Is there a possibility to get an overview which ports are installed and how they are linked? something like this: appA needs appB appC needed by appD appE appF appB needs -none- needed by appA ... Then I could go through the list and see which programms I have to remove in order to get a cleaner system. greetings from crailsheim, germany ronald höllwarth pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I had a problem with burncd where I couldnt access the disk after burning. I couldnt eject or mount it. It required a reboot to get it.

HTML messages already have something functionally equivalent to f=f: the attribute, which... um... quotes blocks of text. When f=f mailers that also can handle HTML encounter text, it’s usually marked up with the same excerpt bars we’re familiar with from f=f. Format=flowed isn’t actually at work there, but since text flows nicely when you resize a window, the effect is the same. I've never heard of this f=f stuff and don't have time just now to investigate, but I'll keep typing anyway. I think the problem is the same but worse. f=f is probably spec'd in a new draft RFC and many mail readers don't support it, so your correspondents on a list list this can't handle it well. According to the FAQ, it (f=f) was developed (IIRC) by Qualcomm to not solve any problem in particular. However, this form of formatting would allow text to be easily formatted into columns readable by any kind of simple display...i.e., PDAs and cellphones with text messaging and email, etc. and at the same time it would easily scale to larger (PC) displays with pretty formatting and proper wrapping. Older readers would just ignore the formatting characters and mangle it accordingly. Oddly enough (if my current theory holds) where the invisible f=f formatting is inserted in an Apple app is dependent on the width of the composition window...which on my iBook really sucks because this window looks so NARROW compared to what I'm used to, hoping that other people's mail readers work a little better with reading my posts to the list. I haven't heard other people complaining as much about my mail wrapping at the 120 mark, so I'm hoping that maybe this will make it easier for others... It shouldn't be that hard for terminal mailers to adopt f=f, if I'm understanding it properly...just be a matter of time. -Bart ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

no text in drscheme
I don't know if this is a DrScheme issue or if it's a FreeBSD/X issue, so I hope you'll indulge the cross-post. I recently did an upgrade of several ports on my system, DrScheme being one of them. Now when I run it, there is no visible text in any of the menus or dialog boxes. The buttons and other controls are there, just sans text. Has anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas for what I could check? The version of drscheme on my machine now is 206p1. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3. I don't know exactly which software upgrade caused drscheme to stop working, but it has worked previously on this machine, and I haven't noticed problems in any of the other X apps I use (though that isn't very many). Another interesting point is that the same thing happens if I try to run an older version of drscheme from a school computer (i.e. ssh -X hostname drscheme). From the terminal of the remote computer, drscheme works just fine. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

RE: The clock is running too fast
Hola I'm sorry, I don't know what 'ntc' is. Do you mean 'ntp'? You can use ntp or not ... if your timing hardware is off, ntp will constantly try to slew the time back to where it should be, which will a) mean your systems concept of time is very non-linear and b) fill the log with warning messages. It's actually a good check to see if the timer's good (although an slmost equally good check is to sit there and look at the clock). I forgot to mention that besides changing /etc/sysctl.conf, you have to reboot. If you don't want to reboot, you will have to do "sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254" at a prompt. But I'm not sure if that's a value that can be set after the system boots. I suggested "i8254" because it's the only device that was supplying good time values on my system. If you have trouble with that device, you might also want to try "TSC". -Dan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Liu Sent: March 19, 2004 01:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: The clock is running too fast Hi Dan, Thanks for your advice. > I had a similar problem on one of the machines at work.

Trouble with CF PC card
Hello, I was recently given a Socket Low Power WLAN card, in compact flash form. I've been trying to get in running plugged into the compact flash reader on my old IBM X20 laptop. It's running FBSD 5.2.1. I'm not really sure how to proceed. I've never tried to run wireless stuff on FreeBSD, or to run it on a laptop for that matter. When the card inserted the machine reads it as follows (I'm doing this from memory) pccard1: unknown card pccard1: CIS info Socket, CF+ LP WLAN Card Rev B So the card appears to be picked up and identified correctly, at least on the second line. Moreover, it is listed as a supported chipset in the wi man page. But: wicontrol yields SIOC device not configured. ifconfig -a lists only the loopback interface. running pccardd yields something like NO PC CARD I do have pccard_enable in rc.conf and if I boot with the card plugged in, it is listed in the boot log, in the same manner as above. I'm sure the problem is that I don't know what the hell I'm doing and the solution is not immediately obvious. Can anyone recommend a place where I can rtfm? So far I've seen only stuff for wicontrol, which isn't working for reasons I don't grasp.

Re: dating a ports tree
Thank you for your answer. I learned something, but I still appear to be missing something obvious. My supfile is appended below. Using the line *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_5_2 works as I anticipate for src-* collections, creating checkout files with the appropriate name. However, even with the line *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:. above the ports-* collections, this supfile results in cvsup deleting all the files in my ports tree.

using wget for FETCH_CMD
Hello, I've been using wget as my FETCH_CMD in /etc/make.conf for some time now, as it's the only thing I've been able to use to reliably get through the microsoft proxy server. Now, when I "make fetch", I get this error: wget: illegal option -- and according to the thread "/etc/make.c & wget..." on this list, a couple weeks back it appears that a recent change to /usr/ports/Mk/* broke this, and now FETCH_CMD needs to use fetch. The problem is, that I while I fetch does seem to be able to download HTTP urls, I can't get it to download FTP urls through the proxy. I've tried various combinations of FTP_PROXY and FTP_PASSIVE_MODE. Is there anything else I can set? Finally, is there any way I can get it to use wget again? -- Brady Montz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

However, this form of formatting would allow text to be easily formatted into columns readable by any kind of simple display...i.e., PDAs and cellphones with text messaging and email, etc. and at the same time it would easily scale to larger (PC) displays with pretty formatting and proper wrapping. Older readers would just ignore the formatting characters and mangle it accordingly. Oddly enough (if my current theory holds) where the invisible f=f formatting is inserted in an Apple app is dependent on the width of the composition window...which on my iBook really sucks because this window looks so NARROW compared to what I'm used to, hoping that other people's mail readers work a little better with reading my posts to the list.

Not my month this - you name it, and its gone wrong, packed up, vanished or plonked itself nicely into the bizarre category. Fwiw, it appears I have a cheap Alladin V clone. Booting can be achieved by disabling power management in the BIOS *plus* fiddling with an IRQ3 option that I don't fully understand (can't get a decent bios manual). That'll get the machine to boot. Next problem manifests itself as dodgy ram - gcc & bz2 failures. Default CS latency is "Auto" but setting it specifically to match the ram (CS=2) improves things greatly. The north/south bridge chips don't match any datasheet - iirc it appears one is off one particular release series, the other off the next mobo release. Finally nailed the remaining reliability problem down to UDMA. Moment I turned it off, spurious faults went away and haven't re-occurred since. Obviously this mobo is a pile of junk.

CMS on FreeBSD
I'm thinking about setting up a FreeBSD-based CMS/intranet and wanted to know what other people were doing. I have a tiny bit of experience with PHP-Nuke because my webhost uses it. Although I have no real complaints about it, I am not wedded to it. PHP-Nuke is in ports and was recently upgraded to 6.9 after stagnating at 6.0 for a long time. This makes me concerned that if I invested in it, and the need for an update came, I might be SOL for a while due to lack of a maintainer. As it is right now, it is marked FORBIDDEN due to a vulnerability with versions below 7.1. Also, there seems to be a lot of hatred towards PHP-Nuke. I don't claim to understand it, but I can accept they might know something I don't. I do know that PHP is rather easy for me to work with, as I've tweaked many pages on my hosted site. I am also not turned away by the fact that PHP-Nuke depends on MySQL as I have used it with Bugzilla and it doesn't scare me. Looking at other options, there comes Postnuke. Seems a pretty-popular close-relation to PHP-Nuke, however the version in ports seems 2+ years old. So there is the maintainership issue again. And a lot of people hate BOTH *Nukes, for perhaps good reasons I don't totally grasp, so there's that too. Diverging a bit, I noticed Drupal. Currently in ports but broken. Most promising seems Plone, which is based upon Zope. But it seems to be tremendously different from *nuke. The ports version is current and appears to work, but poking around the Plone site I wasn't able to get a feel for whether it truly can provide all the stuff I'm looking for. These are things such as: - Discussion forums - 3rd-party themes (I'm not looking to develop my own themes... I'm looking to get this up fast. Instead I'm looking for an established community of Plone-theme creators who like to create custom themes available for download, so I can pick one that appeals to me) - Polls - a variety of other modules/blocks (strength of the *nukes, but couldn't find a similar following for Plone). I'm also concerned about Plone using its own webserver. I feel very good using Apache as I've a lot of experience with it, and I like the idea of delegating components to groups with that strength. I also don't know Python, but could try and learn if Plone was worth it. This would be for an intranet site for about 100 employees. Looking to replace the mass-mailed MS Word "newsletter", as well as provide a place to centrally discuss topics without having to try and hold meetings (and leaving things unaddressed because you're unable to pull a meeting together), give people a "classifieds" board, etc. What are other people doing for CMS on FreeBSD? Just how different is Plone from the *Nukes? Are there fundamental differences I need to understand? Can I do everything I want to with Plone without having to become a Python expert, code my own modules, etc? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
lpt0 stopped working after upgrading
Hello, I recently upgraded to the latest -CURRENT and afterwards my printer would no longer print over Samba via CUPS. At first I thought it was a CUPS/Samba problem so I deinstalled and recompiled both of those but the problem still remains. CUPS recieves the print jobs ok and tries to print but in the web interface it says something along the lines of "parallel port busy, retrying in 30 seconds..." and indeed trying echo hello > /dev/lpt0 says device busy. I deleted the printer from CUPS yesterday to discover that lpt0 is no longer in the drop down list where you select where the printer is attached (serial 0 and 1, parallel etc). I have unplugged the printer lead and tried too and I get the same device busy, but maybe that's supposed to happen if there's nothing plugged in? Also on boot the printer gets recognised properly with the lead in. I have also tried disabling ACPI in BIOS as I read somewhere that this may solve the problem, but it's the same :o) Can anyone help me? Should I post this to the current list instead?

atacontrol addspare missing in -stable
Hi all, how do I rebuild a degraded RADI1 in -stable? I have a HighPoint 372 Controller and yesterday had one drive failed (wich it does regularly and comes back fine after reboot). "atacontrol status ar0" reported only one disk (ad4) and degraded (of course). In -current with a SIL0680 I usually issue "atacontrol detach $failedchannel && atacontrol attach $failedchannel && atacontrol addspare $faileddrive ar0 && atacontrol rebuild ar0" Please give me an idea how things should work under -stable (from ~3 weeks ago).

Thanks, Kris! I looked over my supfile and it is absolutly generic, but just to be sure I'm going to get the latest one in /usr/share. The one I have been using is included below. I did that objdump command on my system and got this: 0008567c gDO .data 0004 __stderrp and the dir listing is: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 580540 Mar 18 11:54 /usr/lib/libc.so.4 so it appears to have been built yesterday, the last time I built my kernel.

drive / IDE controller questions
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've been having problems with my western digital drive (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=24) for about a year. I've posted messages about this before, but I have some new information that may be relevant. The problem started out when I would randomly hear the drive restarting. It would make a high pitch sound that would increase in pitch and last a second or two (The same sound the drive makes when you power on the system). Messages similar to the ones below would also appear in /var/log/messages: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. ata0-slave: ATA identify retries exceeded ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting At first, these drive resets would only happen once or twice and everything would go back to normal. Eventually they would happen over and over until the system became unusable and wouldn't boot up even after running fsck in singal user mode with all the partitions unmount or mounted read only. I found a temporary solution was to run the western digital diagnostic tools and then run fsck. I would usually have a small amount of data corruption/loss but the system would be usable again. Things would be fine for a week or longer, but the problem would eventually reappear. Finally I contacted WD and they sent me a replacement drive (It was the same model, but a refurbished drive that I'm guessing was sent back by someone else). After a few tries I managed to get dd to copy the contents of the old drive to the new drive and for quite some time everything was great. But, the other day the new drive began to have the same problem as the old one. So now, I'm guessing the problem may lie with the controller on the main board (http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v266-e/overview.htm). My main board has the optional raid controller. Would it be possible to use that controller with my current drive, or would the secondary controller be a better solution? Other notes: I've tried a few different IDE cables. I don't think it has anything to do with the OS since the resets have happened before the OS starts to boot and in the BIOS. I've included a uname -a, dmesg output and my kernel config file below. Any tips would be much appreciated.

I don't know what other people think about this - but I really never run any PHP stuff from ports. It is easier, imo, to just download the tgz and unzip it to the directory you want it in. Since there's no compiling, usually very little setup, it's just _easier_ and gives you more control if you just do it yourself. Of course, the cruddy thing about that is updating. Therefore, the reason why I think the cms' in ports are old is because most people don't port install them - it's just not worth it. Just follow the instructions that come with the PHP app - usually you'll have to create a database in mysql for it to use. The instructions are usually really good with that stuff. As far as which cms to use, I'm currently undecided as well. My boss really likes drupal, and forces me to use it :) Check out opensourcecms.com - they showcase dozens of php cms' and let you try them out.

Actually, I mean the disk overheating. They do that and they get worse at it as they age too. Also, some cases are designed to aid in the cooling and so with the case open, the airflow is either not properly directed or it doesn't get enough of a Bernouli or hydraulic effect, either of which is used to increase the air flow speed in critical areas. Of course, if it is a generic case that is probably not a consideration. jerry > > Thanks, > > joey > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) > > iD8DBQFAW1P90NQPEWppBZsRAjA1AKDECIaip9NIehDE3Gm0P6aeXV1SSQCgtp8+ > J1F13XmVghOIiEkvQTuHn0Q= > =Uogh > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

DVD R/W in FreeBSD?

Probably the conv=noerror is to blame for that. I suspect that, unless you can read the sections of the volume that appear to be causing the fsck problems, you may be out of luck. About the only thing you could try is to mount the volume read-only without fsck, and then copy what data you can elsewhere.

If everyone top-posts, the email must be read in reverse to recapture thoughts of others or points made. If twleve people reply properly and you reply the way your `opinion' tells you too, you have broken the path or reading, by forcing people to jump to the bottom to refresh the last message and then back to the top to get the latest thoughts or info. It is also quite obnoxious to review such top-posters threads that are intermixed when looking through the archives. Finally, as pointed out previously, it does not follow convention. It is much like Microsft `enhancing' an industry standard, which actually breaks the standard. -- Bob "Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff.

Emachines M6805
Hello, I was wondering if there are any patches or plans to include support for the emachines m6805 with the mobile amd76 processor?

Ok, in order to be able to help you, we need at least a dmesg with the card, and the _exact_ message, and also a pciconf -lv will be helpful. Because of rebranding of network chips one can never be sure what chip-revision you get with those relabelled products. Please boot a kernel.GENERIC and post that dmesg.

I suppose it depends on your attention span. There were three paragraphs in this message, and I had to search for the relevant section. If you get 2,500 mail messages a day, you don't need this extra work. If you don't get 2,500 mail messages a day, you still don't need this extra work. In any case, I frequently see messages where the relationship between the original and the reply is tenuous at best. It seems that people who use top-posting often don't go to the trouble to compare the reply to what they are replying to (not surprising, since it's not nearby). The result is that top-posted replies often miss the point. >> Others simply follow the precedent set in any given thread, and >> some few will go so far as to delete the trailing messages and try >> to herd an already errant thread in the right direction.

Of course, leaving extraneous text behind doesn't help either. This message had 12 lines of relevant text and 70 of irrelevant text (exceptionally, left behind as evidence; there's nothing below of any further interest). This makes people scroll all the way down just to discover there's nothing there.

One way to check heating is to take the cover off and put your hand on the
drive. If it's too hot for your comfort, it's probably too hot for the drive's
comfort. You want to let the machine run and then remove the cover and check
it quickly; airflow changes when you take the cover(s) off. If that's the
problem, an extra fan in the right place can work wonders.
Don't exonorate cables too quickly; they can block airflow, especially if they
sag over time, or get pulled about by airflow.
I'm not familiar with the WD utilities; do they do surface scans? If not,
is it possible that there are problems that either the controllers or FreeBSD
cannot handle, and that these are occurring as certain blocks are put into
service? (But that wouldn't explain the failure on two drives?)

OT: Quiet SCSI drives?
I'm going to be doing some development work with a few databases in a regulated environment. Needless to say, I need some serious storage for running test versions. But for the reasons I won't bore you with, I'll want them just to run on my workstation. So I need an oomph workstation with a fair amount of storage. I'll build it myself so I can have my choice of components. (I'm looking at dual Opteron!) Here's the thing. I'd prefer SCSI drives for their performance and reliability but I can't stand the noise they tend to generate. Is anyone out there acquainted with a SCSI model that runs fairly quietly? It doesn't have to be the most blazingly fast model out there; I'm willing to sacrifice some performance (though not reliability) for quiet. I do have to work near the thing. Some noise is fine. It's the high-pitched squeal I get from the drives in the server room that kills me. Failing that, does anyone have experiences, positive or negative, with the various drive-noise dampeners on the market?
