Re: HPLIP ugen

The problem is, my printer loads as a umass device so it doesn't get detected by hplip. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Is there anyway to force my printer to use ugen instead of umass? I can't just remove umass because other devices require it. The only way is to use a kernel built without umass (and without ulpt). If you can boot without umass, you can load umass from the command line (using kldload) after the printer is attached. Although I have not actually tried Hmmm, there might be two methods to implement a more user- friendly behaviour: 1) Make umass ignore the device 2) Make ugen accept it with higher priority than umass For 1) the umass driver should get a DONOTATTACH quirk, which then lets ugen gain control. But if anybody wanted to use the umass driver with that printer (e.g. if he is only interested in reading from the built-in card reader and does not want to print anything), this would not be possible (without installation of HPLIP, that is). If the device was grabbed by ulpt (if umass does not want it, then it must be black-listed in both, but I do not expect this to be the case). Variant 2) would need a device table and support for scanning it to be added to ugen. Devices that are best served by ugen could be entered to that list, to prevent other drivers from taking precedence. This does not seem such an uncommon situation and might also be useful for device protocol tests, for example. Device hints could be used to control this feature for specific devices. Either variant is workable (but 1) is easier to implement). It may be counter-intuitive for a device to be added to a driver that is *not* meant to be used to control it ...

Current unassigned ports problem reports
Current FreeBSD problem reports The following is a listing of current problems submitted by FreeBSD users. These represent problem reports covering all versions including experimental development code and obsolete releases. Bugs can be in one of several states: o - open A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed. a - analyzed The problem is understood and a solution is being sought. f - feedback Further work requires additional information from the originator or the community - possibly confirmation of the effectiveness of a proposed solution. p - patched A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or confirmation from originator) are still open. r - repocopy The resolution of the problem report is dependent on a repocopy operation within the CVS repository which is awaiting completion. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended. c - closed A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated, documented, and tested -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.

mailgraph 1.14 and cgi-bin
Hi all, I'm maintainer of mail/mailgraph. The new version (1.14) contains a mailgraph.css which must be put in the same directory of mailgraph.cgi. The problem is, if I install .css to www/cgi-bin, with many apache's default setting, you can not serve plain file under www/cgi-bin (it ScriptAlias'ed). For lighttpd, it should not be a problem. I came up with two possible solution but neither satisfies me. One is to install mailgraph.css under www/data/mailgraph and patch cgi file. Another way is to install .css to EXAMPLESDIR and tell users (you) to copy to a proper location (and may be some http configuration changes). I'm looking for better solutions to this. My hope is to keep minimal work required after installation. If there are no better ways, I probably take the first way.

mysql51-server doesn't start
I recently updated mysql51-server to 5.1.21. But when I try to start it using mysql-server it gives me the following output and doesn't start: sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start Password: Starting mysql. [: -eq: unexpected operator I've tried removing the files and recompiling mysql51-server, and I've tried removing all files in the /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server, extracting the files with portsnap again and then recompiling again. Even tried deleting the portsnap snapshot, downloaded the snapshot and extracted everything again. Nothing did help. When I try to start the application as root without sudo, it still doesn't start but doesnt give me the '[: -eq: unexpected operator' part. I have saved the entire compile session using script if someone wants/needs it. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
