Re: Growisofs and etc/crontab

[gradeAstudent.com]

Thanks for the suggestion will check the paths at the beginning. The crontab
I was using is the system one (/etc/crontab) and I did try specifying the
whole path to the program as well. The exact error message was "growisofs:
not found". The command was “1 2 * * * root growisofs –dvd-compat –Z
/dev/cd0a -R -J /home/bkup” Should I just use roots crontab rather then the
system one?

Ara,

FreeBSD does change frequently, but fortunately it progresses in a "tree" 
fashion.  Because of this you can run the core system (i.e. 4.2-STABLE) for 
several years before you have to update it.  You really don't need to update 
it daily, weekly, or even monthly as long as the kernel you are using is 
working for you.

I think you have to base your expectations on whether you intend to track 
-CURRENT or -STABLE or one of the intermediate -RELEASE FreeBSD kernels.  
Once you have the kernel in place and running, you can update ports as needed 
(i.e. when something breaks you update the relevant port to fix the problem).

I came from MSDOS (pre-Windows), so it took me years to understand the 
difference between -STABLE and -CURRENT, so here is a hint:  If you don't 
understand the difference between -CURRENT and -STABLE then always choose 
-STABLE

Once you have a recent -STABLE cvsup, focus first on "make buildworld"; "make 
installworld"; "make buildkernel"; "make installkernel."  You will find 
instructions for this in /usr/src/UPDATING and any other file in /usr/src 
that is in CAPITAL letters.

Once you have built a working system (i.e. a system that boots), then install 
the ports that you need.  You will probably want /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 
and /usr/ports/x11/kde3 just to begin with.

Now just enjoy the system!  You only need update when there is a problem!

But, getting back you your quandry about when gimp.x is updated to gimp.y, 
once you have the system up and running, I believe that you will find that 
the most ultimately cool thing about FreeBSD is that you can direct it to do 
such time-consuming processes (such as updating the ports tree) while you are 
sleeping or otherwise occupied.  Plus, there is a host of utilities 
in /usr/ports/sysutils that lets you do things like run a full mirror of 
*ALL* branches (-STABLE, -CURRENT, and every intermediate -RELEASE) and then, 
when you feel like playing, install a brand new operating system on a new (or 
otherwise unused) disk just for the fun of it!

Good Luck!

Compilation

[Carlos Torchia]

Hi.  I can't compile a program using the G2 graphics
library.  When I tried compiling the program the first
time, cc said it didn't know that g2.h was in
/usr/local/include, which I think is pretty stupid.
Anyway, I put /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib in
the -I and -L parameters respectively.  Then it saw
the header and library files, but there were constant
errors saying that there were undefined references to
X11 functions within libg2.a.  Also, unrelated to this
I just want to know how to change the default include
and library paths, and how to redirect error output from
programs to files (or pipe them), because everything I
need to now about Unix or FreeBSD comes from 72 hours of
trying to figure out how to make a directory or something.
I'm sorry, but I just can't do anything in this operating
system.  I mean, finally I've found a library that makes
it simple to simply plot a pixel in a window without
spending hours looking for a GTK tutorial that will tell
me about this stupid graphics context stuff that I don't
even know.  And now I gotta figure out about this stupid
g2 thing.  Ok.  Well anyway, thanks for any help you can
give me.

I suggest something lighter, but easily configurable. Try XFCE,
Fluxbox, Windowmaker, or the like. There are many window managers
avialable. To find the list just go to
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/x11-wm.html
and start browsing. :)

Of course they will run fine, they just require thier correct

FreeBSD has a cleaner separation between core "system" applications and 
"non-system", extra applications that can be installed from the ports.  
When you cvsup, you download changes to the source code of the system.  
You can also, depending upon your chosen configuration, download 
changes to the ports and documentation.

When you download the source code, it doesn't mean that you are 
compiling it.  You can compile it later at a time of your choosing.  
Also, since you're only downloading changes since your last cvsup, 
nightly or weekly cvsups will take less time.

The ports system includes directions for your system to download and 
compile source code for applications.  When you cvsup the ports, you 
are only downloading changes to the ports system.  No port applications 
are installed or upgraded as a result of the cvsup process.

You may wish to investigate portupgrade 
(at /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/), a port that helps you upgrade 
installed ports and keep your installed applications in sync.

You can download and install precompiled, binary packages directly from 
the ftp site using pkg_add with the -r option (see man pkg_add).

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

Ach - no... sorry - I made a mistake - the line _should_ be commented just as

Do you have a /var/clamav directory that the _clamav user can write its pid &

you read the INSTALL file?

Do you have to do a uudecode on the receiving end to recover the file?

Right. rrset-order defines the order in which multiple records of the same
type are returned, which wasn't quite the question asked (number limit).

In the 9.3.x release note mentions that this (rrset-order) is implemented,
somewhere else there was a note that in the 8.x code this was implemented,
and in the 9 (presumably 9.2.x code) this wasn't.

I'm modestly interested in the use case, never having used the MS dns
implementation (or Dan's either), and I expect I'll survive the sarcasm.

Eric,

You have caught me with my facetious and sarcastic hat firmly place on my 
head, for all to see plainly. I'm going to have to demote you down the 
ladder. The only thing I'm willing to admit to: it's very hot and humid here 
in southern Wisconsin and that sometimes makes me a bit playful at someone's 
expense, if I see the opportunity, sometimes I will take that opportunity and 
run with it a bit, just to see what happens. If I can't take it, I shouldn't 
dish it out. Your response to me was very civil, probably more so than mine 
to you warranted.

I can't provide an answer to Brent's question either. Besides which, I don't 
want to work with Bind, I would rather work with djbdns and to do that I'd 
have to invest in a couple more computers.

Please feel free to e-mail me privately. It's ok for people to think I'm very 
smart, but I kind of like to keep the total idiot part hidden from public 
view.

Sincerely,

Look in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

There will likely be several startup scripts in there for other services.
Use one as a skeleton to start up fam. Likely, if you installed fam from
ports, there will already be a startup script in that directory, it'll just
need to be renamed. Many ports will put the scripts there with a "-sample"
extension. Check to make sure that file looks in the right places for your
daemon and if so, rename it to remove the -sample and it'll start up on
boot.

While I'm not completely opposed to switching to djbdns, I'd prefer sticking

I, for one, would be curious, Eric, I'm thinking it must be Eric, since you 
sped off your reply without signing it and I was forced to actually look at 
it to see if there was a suitable name to use, I would be curious as to 
exactly which version information you are asking for that might be helpful. 
4, 8 or 9 of what? It can't be FreeBSD, there isn't a version 8 or 9. And, it 
can't be Bind, I'm looking right at the subject line of Brent's e-mail and 
yours, and reading, "Bind 9 answer limit question" so, it can't be that. I'm 
wondering if your e-mail client, for some reason, doesn't show the subject 
line, in which case, you wouldn't know that Brent, who did sign his post, by 
the way, was referring to Bind9. Since my e-mail client does show the subject 
line, I can tell you that he's referring to Bind9.

I have an idea. Why don't you tell him how it's done with djbdns? Or at the 
very least, give him a rousing RTFM. 

Holy cow! I just spotted another post from Brent, concerning a perl upgrade. 
You didn't discourage him. You must have helped him after all. 
Congratulations Eric, on a job well done. You are being promoted, according

Dumb perl upgrade question

[Brent Wiese]

This is the sort of thing I know I should know, but I don't right now... Too
many other stresses...

Upgraded perl from 5.8.2 to 5.8.4 (both were ports).

I need to recompile a bunch of modules (for example, mod_perl).

But, most of them error out because they can't find perl 5.8.2 libraries.

Am I missing some environment variable somewhere or what?

Thanks!

Installation problems

[Bill Schmitt (software)]

Hello all,
I'm new to FreeBSD and have just installed 4.9.2 on a machine I had here. I 
had originally tried to install to this machine using it's onboard graphics 
adapter, which (I learned) had an MPact chipset which apparently nobody in 
the world supports, so I moved on and pulled a card from a P133 I had 
sitting here. The card is a Diamond Stealth Graphics card with the Ark200pv 
chipset on it. So far, so good, but now I'm stuck and could really use a 
little guidance. I'm up to the point of trying to bring up XFree86.

Using xf86cfg -textmode, I've managed to get the configuration file to look

Thanks for your advice - it is very sensible - but I will ignore it anyway. 
I've been using FreeBSD for about five years and CURRENT for most of this 
year and worse things have happened to me than not being able to run 
vmware... and I've got myself out of them, with sometimes some help from the 
lists or friends.

And most of the time it works fine! I've got whizzy graphics, sound, apache, 
php, perl, usb digital camera, uncle Tom Cobbley and all, I read the UPDATING 
files and keep it all humming...

What mystifies me slightly is why I shouldn't be allowed to ask for help if 
something does go wrong, especially something like this, which seemed to me 
as likely to do with the vmware3 port as with broken CURRENT kldload code, or 
whatever it eventually turns out to be. I totally understand your warnings, 
and ultimately I am repared to take full responsibility for any catastrophic 
failure and consequent data loss which takes place as a result of my 
egregious cheek in running CURRENT (in which case it will be my wife's 
opinion, rather than that of anyone on a technical list which will matter to 
me!). I'm not Violet Elizabeth Bott threatening to thcweam and thcweam until 
YOU PEOPLE FIX MY COMPUTER, god damn it, or I'll take my custom elsewhere... 
just a bloke who likes messing around and trying to understand how this crazy 
thing we call bsd works...

Is that so wrong? Is it? Is it really?

Sorry, it is late, I am becoming hysterical. Let's stop this now before I get 
arrested

Thanks (really!),

ahd driver on 4.9 has problem with more than 3 drives (update)

[Pranav]

I have an update on the problem.

When I boot the machine with the -v option it boots up
completely. It does dump card state and give a few
other messages, but it boots up completely unlike
before wherei t used to just dump card state
repeatedly. I can provide you with the dmesg if
needed.

What do you think could be reason for that? is it
stable enough to run like this (with the -v option and
with those error messages) as a production server.

Oh, I know things will break, all right! They break, and then I try to fix

Do you think so? I thought about it, and felt, on balance, that it belonged in

Oh well, I'll just have to keep rebooting into Windows...

Bind 9 answer limit question

[Brent Wiese]

This isn't really FreeBSD specific, but I'm running Bind on FreeBSD, so it
qualifies. ;)

Can you limit the number of responses bind will give for a round-robin A
record?

Microsoft DNS allows you to do this with a "AddressAnswerLimit" registry
change. The idea being you may have 16 ips in a round-robin, but in order to
keep the packet size w/in spec, you only want to return 8 of them.

Thanks!

Ben,

To expand on what a previous poster mentioned, Unix isn't M$.  FreeBSD
doesn't use you as an unwilling guinea pig to test out a new OS.
Installing the "current" version isn't for the faint of heart.  If you
install "CURRENT", that doesn't mean it is the latest production version
of the OS.  It's an Alpha (as in Alpha, Beta, Gamma) test release to see
how it the OS responds when users start trying to do things to and with
it.  I'm sure that there is an "official" definition for the 3, but I
don't ever recall seeing it, so I've made up my own which fits pretty
well.  FreeBSD has 3 types of distros - "CURRENT", "STABLE", and
"RELEASE". In order of increasing stability, they are:  

"CURRENT" = currently in development (Alpha) and by far the least stable
of the 3

"RELEASE" = released to the populous at large (Beta) and fairly stable
but may have some issues 

"STABLE" = well, just that, stable and the production release of the OS 

If you have a machine that you actually _use_, my advice is that you
should definitely not run "current".  While you will get the same kinds
of responses that you typically get from the M$ OS, it's probably not
what you want a "production" box, hence the reason that you're using
FreeBSD to begin with.  We have some VERY vanilla web servers here that
run 4.9, but again they are very basic and it doesn't take a whole lot
to get apache and mod_perl to work properly.  Since you are running
VMWare and doing some unusual things with your system, you should
consider rolling back at least to 4.9 and maybe even to 4.10 which is
the most up-to-date "STABLE" distro.

HTH,

Jimi

No.  It's not called X Windows.

As quoted from the X11 man page:

 The X Consortium requests that the following names  be  used

  X
   X Window System
 X Version 11
 X Window System, Version 11

Try defining the PATH in the crontab file.  Here's the first 2 lines of 
my crontab file:

If you want any serious assistance, you'll provide the exact error message,
as well as the exact command that caused it.  Otherwise, we can only guess
at what you're doing and what's going wrong.

My guess is that your cron job doesn't know where growisofs is and you
haven't specified the full path to the program.

Hi,

take a look at the VideoLAN project, (http://www.videolan.org/). 

You'll find a vlc port in multimedia/vlc. But be aware that is has an
amazing amount of dependencies...

I use vlc to stream mpeg and most avi files without problems, but this
is just one solution to the problem. There might be other and even
better ones.

Growisofs and etc/crontab

[gradeAstudent.com]

Hello Everone, Anyone burning DVD+RW's from /etc/crontab? I am running
Freebsd 4.10. I only get "growisofs not found" or something like that from
cron in the mail messages it sends out. When I type out the growisofs
-dvd-compat ... command it works great but from within cron doesn’t seem to
work. Anyone have any ideas.

Why are you using CURRENT? Don't you know that you can expect things to 
break, not work, and overall see the end of the world as you know it?

Well - maybe not the latter. Perhaps you might be better served running 
a STABLE branch instead of an Alpha?

Things might work, and work better.
Now,

This post of yours ought to go to the CURRENT list.

Hi,

there is much more, you are bound to find a window manager that you
like!

Take a look at http://xwinman.org/ to get an overview of what's
available. Most (if not all) of the window managers there are available
for FreeBSD, except some under "others".

Since you say you'd be fine with the default window manager I think you
will like one of the "lighter" ones, take a look at fluxbox - it's a
great window manager!

Good luck!

One of our sites got a Dell server 400 with a raid which I thought was
the aac and we could not install on it.   Finally he took it out and
put in an Adaptec SCSI and it all worked fine.  But, maybe it was really
a different raid controller.   I don't have it here to look at now.
Of course, I suppose the raid controller could have been DOA hardware.

Re: OpenOffice on a diskless workstation

[Michael Collette]

Got this one figured out finally. Just need to have the following lines in 
rc.conf:

nfs_client_enable="yes"
rpc_lockd_enable="yes"
rpc_statd_enable="yes"
rpcbind_enable="yes"

The clever bit that kept throwing me was needing to have the nfs client 
enabled.  Once that was in play both lockd and statd actually ran.  Geesh!

Re: Windows X

just having X running doesn't seem to slow down system. only using slow
and memory hungry software may do it.

but i don't see anything wrong in having X on server if it's used as
workstation at the same time.

if it's started from XDM you may remove suid so no security risk.

-nolisten tcp for X server will turn off listening on TCP port - removing
rest of possible security problems.

KDE and GNOME is an attempt to replace/look like windows.
quite successful - not only in look, but in memory usage, CPU usage,
amount of bugs, and level of unneeded complexity, allowing user ONLY use
GUI configs to do something.

i think that if someone needs something like windows, windows is best
choice.

this is not KDE feature as all, just kdm (xdm replacement).

you may use gdm and possibly other xdm replacements to do it, without need
to install KDE.

this is not true. most GNOME apps just use GTK2 and run without gnome
itself fine. they are NOT dependent on any window manager, as GNOME
itself. gimp is an example - i use it with fvwm2. works like any other X
app.

With KDE apps it's not true. while lot of KDE apps does work without KDE,
they actually starts up some daemons taking >20MB RAM to function. this
daemons doesn't die by itself after exiting from that apps and take
quite amount of CPU time even if you don't do anything, just have app
running.

The aac driver was first introduced in 4.3, but it has come to support
more devices since then.  It definitely *was* enabled on 4.8, so the
original poster definitely needs to look a little more closely.
I've certainly had no trouble loading 4.8-RELEASE (from Walnut Creek CD
distros) onto Dell platforms with built-in RAID (PERC 3/Di) using aac, and
no trouble with either 4.8-STABLE or 4.9-STABLE since then.

If it will resolve my problem, I might resort to this.  But, I'm perfectly

The recent versions work fine for me so instead of using make
index/portsdb -U, I switched to portindex. The only risk you take is a
possible (but not very likely to happen, I suppose) corrupted INDEX file,
which you can always recreate using make index/portsdb -U or fetch from
the freebsd.org site using make fetchindex, so I think you can safely
try it.

Being curious, I unplugged and replugged the USB cable.
I then reran fdisk with the 128MB card mounted.

The aac driver was first introduced in 4.3, but it has come to support
more devices since then.  It definitely *was* enabled on 4.8, so the
original poster definitely needs to look a little more closely.

It's pretty new, so there may be bugs (e.g. it may not always give an
INDEX that is the same as one built the "long way")

Try installing the pkg_install port/package, which will give you an
updated set of pkg_* binaries that understand the newer keywords.

Upgrade/overlay installs are relatively safe.  Don't mess up the

Windows X

Christopher,

Xwindows by it is lonesome is a might boring for my taste. I guess you
should first be asking yourself what is it you will be doing with the
system you are setting up:

Will you be running this as a server and are simply looking for an easy
way to interface with the system?

Are you setting up a desktop replacement?

If you are setting up a server will it be accessible from the Internet or
is it simply a local system?

If you are setting up a desktop what will be your top 5 main uses?


SERVER:
If you are running a server, then the obvious (I didn't like the answer
when I first started either) is do not install X. It takes a lot of disk
space, it does slow down the system, and more software means potentially
more security vulnerabilities.

So why not only run X when you need to actually need to use the system.
Sure, you set your system to not have X running at startup (this is the
default) and only start it when you need it. However, you are still
wasting space, there are still potential security risks, and honestly
running the system from a command line is not all that hard. In addition,
you can telnet into it from your desktop so you would not need a
Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor.

If you decide you must run a GUI because you are unfamiliar with CLI or
you just like them better pick one of the lighter weight window managers.
Yes, they are boring but you do not need a fancy desktop on a Server.


DESKTOP:
If you are planning on this being a desktop replacement then I can fully
understand wanting to have a cool desktop. KDE is very popular as well as
GNOME. You can see screenshots on their respective websites.

KDE has a cool feature that if set up allows you to pick your window
manager on login (mind you this causes KDE and X windows to be running at
all times). This would require reading chapter 5 in the FreeBSD Handbook.
This is arguably you greatest source of FreeBSD information. It is a short
chapter to read but does explain quite a lot. I myself had to read the
chapter more then once before I fully understood it. Now I feel very
comfortable using X. No expert but I feel very comfortable.

The one you choose is up to you. I say play with as many as you can and
see which one fits your needs better. You can find many personal opinions
online as to which display manager is better. I have no desire to be
labeled a troublemaker so I will not give my opinions on the subject.
There are also several sites dedicated to customizing the look and feel of
the various window managers.

The community can correct me if I am wrong but applications built for KDE
will run fine on GNOME and vice versa. I think they just may not look as
pretty as they use different API's or something. They still work they just
need their associated libraries and you are good. Therefore, if you fall
in love with the KOFFICE application but prefer the GNOME desktop, I don't
think there is a problem with that (you can also install OPENOFFICE.).

Well enough said. Good luck.

Thank you,
Joshua Lewis

[ ... ]
First off, apologies for this off-topic post, but I think this is the
only place I'm likely to get an intelligent (and well-informed) answer
to my question. I tried searching the web, but found a confusing and
contradictory bunch of poorly-informed opinions, which wasn't helpful.
It's not clear to me that you are going to obtain anything different by asking 
your questions here.  :-)

I'm writing a news article about Apple's contribution to open source. In
particular, I'm interested in finding out the following:
You ought to ask Ernie Prabhakar, Wilfredo Sanchez, Jordan Hubbard, or someone 
like them at Apple.  Asking about what Apple has done for FreeBSD, or vice 
versa, is like studying one tree out of a forest.  People at Apple have make 
significant contributions on for the Apache 2, Java, Samba, GCC, and such, as 
well as to the BSD projects.

1) How much of FreeBSD did Apple actually use in OSX? If I'm not
mistaken, the Darwin kernel is not related to FreeBSD in any way (or is
that wrong?). Basically, what exactly did Apple gain from FreeBSD?
The Darwin kernel, Mach, is not related to FreeBSD in any way.
Apple mostly started with NetBSD improvements to their NEXTSTEP-derived 
userland based on an old BSD 4.3 version, and since have adopted many changes 
from FreeBSD as well.  Stuff like Unix CLI programs, various standard C 
library fixes and updates, IPFW, KAME's IPv6 stack, things like that.

2) What exactly has Apple contributed back to FreeBSD? (money?
equipment? source code?). Nowadays, does Apple still continue to give
anything back to the FreeBSD community?
I know at least one FreeBSD committer who is working at Apple, so I suppose 
that providing jobs counts as money...?  I don't know about equipment.  Yes, 
to source code.

Apple recently released a bunch of changes and fixes to the MS-DOS filesystem 
 compatibility kernel module, which someone here was looking over.  I'd 
imagine you could find other examples if you looked, to answer the second 
question.

3) How much of OSX today is open source (or "shared source")? Can you
actually see the OSX source code? Can you use any of it?
Others have responded to this with URLs that are more useful, but "lots, 
except for GUI programs", yes, and yes would be my answers.

Maybe I'm way off here because I do not do any such testing as Giorgos
suggests, but how are the developers supposed to supply patches for
problems if -CURRENT builds are in fact not built, and build-errors not
found?

I would think that it would be easier to mirror the tree, and build
daily/weekly etc to find build errors than it would be to review the
source code line-for-line to find the bugs.

> It is better to test and
>contribute code.

How do you suggest testing without building? I believe that Giorgos is
suggesting that *is* what he is doing...building, locating bugs, fixing
(contributing/committing code).

Could someone with more experience clarify this? This is quite a confusing
thread.

@conflicts in /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS

[freebsd]

Whenever I run pkg_info, I am receiving error messages that indicate conflicts 
with my packages.  For example, when I run pkg_info, I get:

pkg_info: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts libX11-*'

grep'ing for libX11-* in /var/db/pkg shows the offending package to be 
XFree86.  Or, more specifically:  XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_7

I was getting another conflict with fontconfig, but reinstalling it with 
"portinstall -rP" helped.  I tried reinstalling XFree86-libraries.  But, this 
time it didn't help.  Running pkgdb -F exits normally without error.  But, it 
doesn't help resolve the conflicts.  Would including "-R" as an option to 
portinstall help?

I have seen similar problems on Google.  Yet, I don't see any solutions.  

There are only 2 things that I can think of that would be worth mentioning 
that could possibly be related to the problem.  First is that since I am 
running 4.6-RELEASE, my system may be too old to work properly with current 
ports.  The second is that I recently moved my installation to another HD.  
That's been a couple of months ago and I haven't noticed any other problems 
with that transition.  

One last bit of information that might be helpful to mention is that I use 
portupgrade.

As a possible fix, I have considered upgrading to 4.10-RELEASE.  But, I'm 
fearful that I will end up trashing my box completely.  

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Darren

Trying to run FreeBSD from USB2 Mobile Disk

[Richard Styrman]

I'm trying to run FreeBSD from usb and i've run into some problems with 
booting it, I havn't found a bootloader able to boot usb, so I use an cdrom 
and i am able to chroot into the usb,

however here's my problem, when I chroot i only get acces with one terminal, 
what I want todo
is like "boot" into the usb, so I basicly ditch the old system (cd), atleast 
to the point that I
get ../usb/etc/ttys to be drawn.. and all the virtual terminals gets 
displayed properly

any suggestions?
or even better, would someone know a bootloader that supports FreeBSD / usb?

   My comment is still applicable. If you just run a  cvs mirror,
   just fetch the source code. You dont need to test to know whether if
   compiles or not. I think noone really helps to freebsd by compiling
   the source code every day looking for errors. It is better to test and
   contribute code.

I tried it but it doesn't help. Does this work for you?
Are you running 5.2.1?

Start with 8MB SM card in da2.

Using cvsup on base is fine, but I thought that to use
cvsup on things like perl that I had to have the whole
ports/lang tree (just ports, not source) on my machine.

at least in Poland, i would recommend agains buying a book. just waste of
money, as they won't give any more information that listed URLs, while
some of them can give lot of informational noise - mostly books about
Linux. and there's very little literature available on other unices than
linux.

i think it is very disorienting, as they try to be windows-like, and like
windows it take user away from actual knowledge as it can.

if you really wan't to learn unix, stay away of KDE and Gnome (while you
may like to use some apps from them).

i recommend you icewm windows manager with icepref configurator for it.
good for beginner while fast, small, configurable. And it's actually
mostly window manager, without lots of gadgets.

i fully agree with this. but i think (not sure) that outlook as most of
microsoft products can be configured to behave normally, it's just
difficult and usually not well documented.

RE: pserver unavailable for anoncvs.freebsd.org

[Manfred Riem]

Hi Ralph,

Well, OK, true. Anyway, the example might contain a US
based server, but the main servers are noted in the
Handbook. And for the US it is a SSH only.

I would assume the text is correct and the example is
not. Please submit a bugreport to the doc team ;)

Note that you can determine which ports you update
with cvsup as well. Would the base system be enough?

Regards,
Manfred

Re: openoffice install and java JRE on 4.10

[Mark Jayson Alvarez]

Peter,
  JRE is the acronym for Java Runtime Environment. 
Because java is an interpreted language, a java
program needs an interpreter to be able to translate a
java program into a machine readable form. Perhaps
some of the openoffice.org's functionality were
develop using java, maybe that's the reason why it
needs a Java Runtime Environment. If you need to know
more about Java, try visiting http://sun.java.com

Java has already been ported to FreeBSD. You can find
one here:
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/DL/28994/DL

Download the one that looks like this:
diablo-jre-1.3.1.0.tgz

   At this very moment while I'm sending this to you,
I'm still completing the download of
openoffice.org-1.1.2. I've already downloaded jre but
still haven't tried it yet. 

Best of luck
-jay

This all looks fine to me.

Is your winxp gateway set correctly?
It should be the internal IP of your

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 69, Issue 5

[Dew Ediho]

Dear List members,




I run freebsd 4.10 on a proliant cl380 server. I split the nodes and
do not use them as a clustered server.


I created a /Data dir for the primary node using the accompnying SCSI
array (RAID 5) with controller CR3500.

I configured the controller and created the array using Compaq Array
Utility software .


The machine ran perfectly for more than 60 days until a power outage
resulted into the box not booting up properly.

I was able to get the server to boot but accessing the SCSI array is impossible.

The following are logs from the system

The machine runs and but I can not use the /Data directory.

The screen shot of the CR3500 configuration has been convinently located at

http://www.morgan.edu/newtemp/ErrorReport.pdf

pserver unavailable for anoncvs.freebsd.org

[Ralph Hempel]

RESEND: If this is the wrong list, which one is more
appropriate. Perhaps freebsd-doc? 

I've been messing around with building ports directly from
cvs. The examples in the anoncvs section of the Handbook indicate
that the pserver access method is available for:

  anoncvs.freebsd.org

ie

  setenv CVSROOT :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs

Should allow a cvs login using "anoncvs" as the password.

Unfortunately, we get this error:

  cvs [login aborted]: connect to anoncvs.FreeBSD.org(128.46.156.46):2401
  failed: Connection refused

Is this because pserver has been disabled on that server,
because the connection limit has been exceeded, or some
other issue?

Note that I've been able to use pserver for other servers listed
in anoncvs just fine.

Cheers, Ralph

Hi,

Yesterday a mega commit was applied on php related ports, now, you
install php4 without extensions and install all extensions (mysql,
ftp, pcre) separetelly, or using lang/php4-extensions.

All changes are described on /usr/ports/UPDATING

loading a module before booting to install

[Brian Smith]

Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD-4.8-RELEASE on a Dell PE750.  I need to load
the aac driver so it will recognize my RAID drives.  It's not a part of the
GENERIC kernel that's loaded at the install boot and isn't an option on the
kernel config screen.  What do I do to load the aac driver before booting to
install?  I've got boot floppies to install from and 4.8 CD media too, so
installing from CD or network, either way is fine.  I think I need to load
aac.ko, but I don't know how to access it from the boot floppy or the CD.
Please help me!

there is most definitely both more functionality and eye candy available
than what you're probably seeing right now.

since you're new to freebsd (and, presumably, unix in general), you're
going to want to spend quite a bit of time reading.  searching through the
following sources will probably yield the richest results:

o  the freebsd handbook (perhaps the best OS handbook out there):
- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
- you also have a copy locally installed at /usr/share/doc/handbook.

o the freebsd-questions mailing list archive:
   - http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/

o google

o any books you may have purchased.

regarding your question, i would recommend starting off with the handbook
section on X:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

note that the handbook only touches upon 3 of the better known window
managers/desktop environments.  if you're looking for something that won't
be too disorienting (say you're coming from windows or mac), try KDE or
GNOME.  these are full blown desktop enviroments (applications, games, etc)
and HUGE installations.

there are scads of other window managers out there and these vary
greatly in size and functionality.  with a little time and experimentation,
you'll eventually find the one that best suits your needs.

about format for mailing list questions:

o many people reading and replying here use tools that don't react quite
the same way as outlook express.  your messages with reach the greatest
amount of readers while causing these the least amount of grief, if you
'wrap' your messages at around 75 characters.  (either through a setting in
your mail client or by simply hitting return every now and then)

o you may find this article helpful --> http://www.lemis.com/questions.html


hope this helps and welcome to freebsd.

epi

PHP 4.3.8 upgrade missing things

[Dan Rue]

Hey all, 

Usually when I build PHP, it asks me about a couple dozen things - perl
compatible reg ex's, ftp support, etc.  When I did a portupgrade last
night it didn't ask me those things - only three things (apache 2, and
two other things).  Now, I am missing some things - at least the preg
stuff.  So how do I get that stuff back?

I'm building /usr/ports/lang/php4, and i'm on 4.3.8. 

Any hints?

mod_php4 is simply shorthand that configures PHP4 for use with
Apache13 from all I know... Exactly what I needed so far. Now it seems
to be much weirder.

Is there a reason you need mod_php4 instead of php4?  I switched from 
mod_php4 to php4 about a year ago; and found installation to go much 
more smoothly, particularly where the ports have multiple versions of 
certain applications (apache and postgresql, for example).

As for your current problem, look in mod_php4's directory for a 
directory called "Work", or something like that. You can/should delete 
any files that were not in the ports prior to any "make" activity.

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

Try doing a 'make reinstall' Failing which you could also try build php
from /usr/ports/lang/php4. Use the WITH_APACHE2 argument if you are
using Apache2 or add it to /etc/make.conf

WITH_APACHE2=   yes

To change the configuration of any port that uses the OPTIONS
mechanism, simply do:

# make config

in the port directory.

Note that with the new PHP setup, most of the configurable bits are
now in the lang/php4-extensions or land/php5-extensions ports -- not
that you need to install either one of those.  They're just meta-ports
where you can select a bunch of php extensions easily.  Since each
extension is a separate port now, you can just go round and install
all the one you want.

Nb. To get PHP to load the shared modules correctly, you'll need to
change the 'extension_dir setting in /usr/local/etc/php.ini.  I found
that setting it like this:

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/20040412/"

did the trick.

Matthew

see if you have a directory called work under
/usr/ports/www/mod_php4 

if you do 
delete it and try again .
you can also pass the args directly to make 
for example : 
make -DWITH_GD -DWITH_XML -DWITH_MYSQL -DWITH_POSIX -DWITH_PCRE -DWITH_FTP -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER all install

ahd driver on 4.9 has problem with more than 3 drives

[Pranav]

Hello All,

 I am trying to run FreeBSD 4.9 on a server that has
4x146GB ultra
320 SCSI drives. The motherboard is a Tyan S2720 with
an Adaptec 7902
Ultra 320 onboard. (Also tried it with 4x73GB drives).

The systems works fine when there are 3 drives in the
system. As, soon
as I plug in the 4th drive and boot the system in
starts to 'dump card
state' after the
'waiting for 15 secs for scsi devices to settle' line
and never boots
up completely. It just repeats dumps card state.

I then loaded FreeBSD 5.2.1-REL and even that dumps
card state, but it
boots up fine.
I have included the dmesg in the mail. (Sorry for
including
everything. I didnt know what might be important).

I havent changed anything in the kernel, its a
standard install.

Does anyone have any clue as to why this could be
happening on 4.9. Am
I missing some parameter or something here.

Or, is it possible to load the 5.2.1 ahd driver on
4.9. If so can
somebody give some instructions on how to do that.

I would appreciate any kind of help. Please let me
know if you want me
to do anything else or provide any other information.

Thanks
-Pranav

dmesg output on 5.2.1

How to configure PHP build?

[Gabriel Ambuehl]

Hi,
after the last PHP commits, I can't seem to be able to configure my
PHP builds anymore. It keeps on telling me
===>  Found saved configuration for mod_php4-4.3.8_1,1
and subsequently starts to build right away.

Is there any way to get it to behave like in the past, specifically
asking me what libs it should compile in?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Gabriel

Re: Windows X

[Robert Storey]

Dear Chris,

I'm sure you'll get a lot of answers to this one, but I'll dive in.

First off, I guess you mean Xwindows, not Windows X. Xwindows by itself
is basic - you need a window manager to make it look nice. FreeBSD comes
with a few good ones. Most people who want bells and whistles use KDE,
which is included on the FreeBSD install CD. For each user (maybe you
just have one), put a file in their home directory called .xinitrc with
this content:

  exec startkde

That will do it. There are other window managers, some of which are
might lighter weight (thus faster) than KDE, even if not as pretty. For
example, if you wanted fvwm, then file .xinitrc would have this content:

  exec fvwm

This will only work, of course, if you've installed fvwm (it's also on
the FreeBSD install CD).

By the way, all of the above applies to Linux as well, this is not just
a FreeBSD thing.

best regards,
Robert

where can i find info about possible options in make.conf for ports

Look at the ports(7) man page and the default make.conf (which is
/etc/defaults/make.conf under 4.x, and
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf in 5.x, or you can look at it in CVS
via
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf )
Otherwise, port specific make flags can be found generally by
inspecting the Makefiles for each port, or the Makefiles under
/usr/ports/Mk.  Each of the Makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk has a long
pre-amble documenting the various settings available. The convention
is that variables starting 'WITH_' 'WITHOUT_' or 'WANT_' are
user-settable; variables starting 'USE_' are for the port maintainer
to deal with.  Any section marked 'OPTIONS' causes the port to
generate a popup menu allowing you to set the various flags listed
either as 'WITH_FOO' or 'WITHOUT_FOO' -- those values are retained
under /var/db/ports so you won't get the menu popup the second or
subsequent times you make that port unless you specifically run 'make
reconfig'.
Note too that there are a number of ports that have variable settings
which pre-date this convention: in those cases, you'll have to figure
out from context what is user-settable and what isn't.
Also note: most people find that using portupgrade(1) and friends to
manage their ports gives best results.  In which case, you can enter
those make variables into the MAKE_ARGS array in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf -- one big advantage of doing that is it
allows you to apply the make argument to building a specific port.  I
don't think there are any such conflicts, but there's no guarrantee
that two ports won't use the same make variable with conflicting
meanings.
Cheers,
Matthew
Just to add to what Matthew said, there is also a manual page for make.conf:
$ man make.conf
Cheers
