mounting linux
I appologize in advance for having to ask this question. I have skimmed through the manual, and have missed the answer. I use BSD on a disk which is 50-50 win 98 and 5.2. I use, on the same computer win ME and RH linux 8.0. I can access the dos partitions with no problem using mount_msdosfs, but no matter what I try, I am unable to access the RH partition. The RH partition is on a scsi U-160 drive, but the dos side is right there. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to mount the linux partition.

best way to update my system?
Hello all, i recently updated my laptop by using cvsup to download the latest 5.2.1 + patches source, and the did all the steps to make world. it works fine, but is there another way which takes less time, to update my laptop? what i would really like is a way to cvsup the security patches, and just build those and then just install those, that way i dont have to worry about a new kernel or anything. right now my cvsup file reads *default tag=RELENG_5_2 if i changed to RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE would that just give me the patches to 5.2.1? if patching by source doesnt work this way is there a way to use binary patches? well thank you for the help anthony ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems with USB Flash Memory Device under FreeBSD 4.10 - NOT READY, Medium not present
Hi Everyone, I recently switched from FreeBSD 5.2.1 to 4.10 in the hope that it would solve my seemingly unsolvable Nvidia driver freeze issue. Alas, it did not. However, now that I am running FreeBSD 4.10 (and intend to stay with it) I am having an error when I insert my Prolific TDX MemoDisk 256Mb Flash Memory stick. When I insert the stick, the following messages are displayed in the log and on the console that go something like this: Jul 23 16:20:48 UnixBox /kernel: uhub2: Prolific Technology Inc. USB_HUB, class 9/0, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 Jul 23 16:20:48 UnixBox /kernel: uhub2: 1 port with 0 removable, self powered Jul 23 16:20:49 UnixBox /kernel: umass0: Prolific Technology Inc.

There were signs of this problem on devices other than mine but the fixes for them unfortunately haven't worked for me. Also this device worked fine with FreeBSD 5.2.1 installed fresh from the box (Although I do now have my own kernel rolled). I would really appreciate some help if anyone knows what could be the issue. The flash stick works fine in other machines so it can't be hardware related. I've tried to include as much information as possible, but I feel I might be at a bit of a dead end. An attempt to mount the stick displays this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mount -t msdos /dev/da0 /mnt msdos: /dev/da0: Device not configured And the following gets written to the log and console when the above mount operation is attempted: Jul 23 17:04:35 UnixBox sudo:gavin : TTY=ttyv0 ; PWD=/usr/home/gavin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/da0 /mnt Jul 23 17:04:35 UnixBox /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ CAPACITY.

printf doesn't work in ia64_init()?
Hi all, I'm reading the function ia64_init()sys/ia64/ia64/machdep.c, and try to use printf to output some information. But if I put printf before msgbufinit(), I won't see any word I expect by using dmesg. In the same function after cninit(), it comments: /* * Initialize the console before we print anything out. */ cninit(); /* OUTPUT NOW ALLOWED */ So I have thought printf should work after cninit().

Before you worry about what you have, you might read Chapters 4 and 19 of the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html There are a number of possibilities.

FreeBSD 5.2.1 + IBM ServeRAID + SMP?
Hello, I have an IMB xSeries 220 server with Dual 1.2 GHz P3's and an IBM ServeRAID card. Due to the ServeRAID card I need to install FreeBSD 5.x. The question is, how stable is 5.2.1 at this point? All I really need to install and run on the system is MySQL and PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL will only have 1 database and MySQL will have about 80. Is this a reasonably stable set-up?

Re: OSS
Hello Sorry for my ignorance, am new to FreeBSD... which is the kernel config file? is it a configuration for compiling or at boot time? am linux user so will not bee too hard, just tell me which is the file pls :D Well, in pre 5.xxx versions it is in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. You should find at least 2 in there already: GENERIC and LINT. Make a copy of GENERIC and modify the copy and follow instructions in the handbook or any of the other good FreeBSD books then to build a new kernel.There is an old way that still works in 4.xxx and a new way that is a bit more automated. The old way has you doing /usr/sbin/config CONF_file_name cd ../../compile/CONF_file_name make depend make make install (only if you want it to actually replace your current kernel now you can do this manually later) The new way is supposed to be better, but old habits die hard and this way leaves files where I know how to find them. I have yet to do anything more than burn at 5.xxx CD so I am not sure the files are exactly the same in 5.xxx, but they won't be extremely different in principal. jerry Regards, Miguel This should be automatically created by devfs. I would make certain that the proper device entry is installed in your kernel config. For my system, I need to add the following line to my kernel config file: device pcm I hope this helps. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

apcupsd vs FreeBSD-5.2.x
Hello, I've installed apcupsd (latest in ports) on a FreeBSD-5.2.x server. The server has an APC BackUPS Pro 1000i ups system connected to it via the APC supplied 940-0020B serial signalling cable. After installing apcupsd, the message from pkg-message appears, instructing the following: ** NOTE IF you install a apcupsd server: Change to /dev and create a softlink to usv from the serial line the USV is connected to, e.g. cd /dev ln -s cuaa1 usv Read the MANUAL to do site specific configuration assigenments! Especially have a detailed look into the chapter describing the shutdown procedure. ** So this is what I did.

The DEVICE /dev/usv is also there by default, and I didn't change this, thinking that this is somehow related to the message in pkg-message. However, despite my being able to start apcupsd fromcmdline okay enough, on reboot, apcupsd does not start.

The other problem I've got is that with the instruction to create a soft link for /dev/usv, on reboot, that soft link is of course disappears, so I have to manually recreate that soft link again, before (again) manually starting apcupsd from cmdline.

Postgres running in 5.1 jail corrupts Postgres running in host environment
I'm running Postgres 7.4 installed from a just cvsupped FreeBSD ports. I've got a production machine that's going to need a lot of upgrades, and I want to test them out prior to upgrading the production environment. So I built a jail on the production machine to install the new software in and test prior. Seems logical, right? Anyway, I set security.jail.sysvipc_allowed=1 so Postgres can run in the jail, but every time I start Postgres in the jail, the Postgres running in the host environ goes wacky.

Thanks, Chris Hmm, I don't think that it's necessarily true that /etc/periodic is sending you the last 20 or so lines ... it's only sending kernel notifications, which in the case of most setups of syslog.conf, are *also* logged to /var/log/messages, hence some confusion here. So, one good question in return would be, are you sure that you're not seeing all you want in your periodic output? You can take a look at the manpages and source for periodic(8) and friends to learn a little more... I'm in no way an expert --- it could be possible that an expert could modify the periodic.sh script to do what you want; but in your case, I'd think that you could create a small script to do what you want and run it nightly from your personal crontab.

What I recommend is you shouldn't play with make options before setting up a stable system (sorry if that's too obvious). I'm running -CURRENT and the build I did on 8 April didn't have this problem but it started with the next build I did a couple of weeks ago. I've cvsup'd and rebuilt a couple of times since, the last on 25 July, but the problem persists. I don't have much experience with CURRENT (and with SMP) but if you didn't change the config files it looks like something in the code (this is possible in CURRENT, right?). Only thing I can think of is reading freebsd-current and searching the archives. Not much from me, sorry. I've noticed something; it only seems to freeze when I'm in X. I had the machine up for over 30 hours at the command line yesterday whilst I upgraded some ports, including KDE (which was why I did it from the command line). I rebooted it when I'd finished. I've never had it stay up anywhere near that long since the 8 April build. Some conflict between XFree86 (4.3.0) and -CURRENT/5.2.1-RELEASE? Also, my machine dual-boots with XP and that stays up for days at a time so, in my case at least, I doubt it's hardware, plus I've run memtest86 and it was OK. Thanks for the input.

Re: FreeBSD 4.10 pkg_add Shared object libssl.so.3 not found?

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am new to FreeBSD and am using it as linux has a problem with my setup that I was unable to resolve. Anyways, I am liking what I have read about FreeBSD. I am a bit of a control freak and did a custom install of FreeBSD 4.10 over the net with the required package and all the support docs. I went to install links and this is what happened: Um, when you say custom install do you mean that when you selected the install method you selected Custom Begin a custom installation (for experts)? If so, the first thing you should do is start over and do a Standard install, or you will be plagued by little problems like this until you ARE and expert. A Standard install will let you customize almost anything you might wish to customize, but will then handle the details for you. Custom install is for people who want to do unusual things with those details. EJINSIDE# pkg_add -r links /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libssl.so.3 not found I decide to try and do the the same to get bash and the exact same thing happened. I did a google search and found an identical error posted on some russian BSD forums, however I was unable interpret the dialog. I also found other errors that were similar but with different files. Being new to FreeBSD these did make much sense to me. So this brings me to the crux of the matter. How do I find out what exactly is wrong? and how do I fix it? A good first step with this sort of thing is to go to the FreeBSD web site and search there, including the mailing list archives, the Handbook, and the FAQ. May not find you the answer, but it has a good chance of it, and you will learn something useful in the process, even if it's not what you set out to learn. If that doesn't work, ask on this list... Any help appreciated. OK. The short answer is Install the OpenSSL package (or port). E.g. become root, run /stand/sysinstall, and do a post-install configuration, which will let you install additional packages. There are other ways to do it, but that's probably the one least likely to generate more mysteries. Installing the Crypto distribution might also be a good solution.

Re[2]: security run output

Hmm, I found:
/etc/periodic/security/700.kernelmsg

I guess you were correct that it's not from /var/log/messages after all.
Having said that, I don't have any idea if there is something in that small script
that I could change to increase the number of lines it puts into the email. It's a
bourne shell script, it appears:

then

If I start K3B it freezes my system, but if I removed my SCSI CD-reader the problem went away. But the I only had my IDE NEC 1100 burner left. Note that I had a Hard drive as well attached too my SCSI controller card and that did not cause in my eye's any problems. Perhaps you are having a similar problem?

openoffice install and java JRE on 4.10
Hi Jay, I am quite confused about this diablo jre install. I just tried installing diablo jre 13 from the ports collection, but it tells me to get the file manually from freebsdfoundation. The file it wants me to download is diablo-latte-1.3.1-0.tar.bz2 I had already put a downloaded file into the /usr/ports/distfile directory, but its name was diablo-jre-1.3.1.0.tgz These files seem to have the same version number, but i dont know how to use the one I have. Could I ask you - how did you install the diablo-jre-1.3.1.0.tgz that you downloaded. I mean, what command or whatever did you use ? The same question applies to the OpenOffice 1.1.2 install you did after that. These things dont seem to be in the ports collection, and I dont know if they are considered packages or something different. Thanks for your patience - I am still struggling to come to grips with this environment.

Thanks Peter Unless you're updating the KDE ports themselves, you should be fine. On occaision, I've updated those, and I'm fine. The new versions run when I restart KDE. Once in a great while, you'll run into library conflicts (when you run a GUI exec within the same session), that clears once you've restarted KDE. All in all, it's a safe bet. I've had little problems, and don't think you'll run into any problems. Running an xterm bascially creates another vterm with the same login as your current KDE session. You have all the same rights. By the same token, if you 'su' to root, and run the command for an executable for a GUI exec, that program will run within your current X session (probably unpriveleged) with root permissions. I often do this with cvsup-gui, ethereal, nessus, and nmap-fe. Hope this helps.
