The patch covered several ports, and it had a few problems and was updated by the patch author, but I wasn't quite sure how to back out of it and retest an updated patch without having to cvsup my ports tree and start over. But like I said, maybe there isn't some other method I'm missing, and this is the way it's done ... Exactly where did you put this patch ? How did you applied it? it was a patch to the Makefile of the port or a patch for the source of the port ? It's a patch for the Makefiles of several ports in the xfce4 metaport, so as to upgrade to the latest version. I patched it through (essentially): cd /usr/ports patch -E /localpath/to/patch If you don't cvsup quick (cvsup -s) you shouldn't need to remove the Makefile, as cvsup will see the file has been changed; this is not true if you _add_ a file that is not in the cvs in a port_dir and it's not guaranteed to work if you use cvsup's -s switch. Usually when I have to test Makefile patches I: cp Makefile Makefile.cvs patch .. /path/to/patch cp Makefile Makefile.patched Which enables me to restore the official Makefle or add my own diff's. Excellent. This is exactly the sort of advice I was hoping to get. I guess it's sort of obvious how to do this now that I think about it, but I thought maybe the reverse option (-r) had something to do with this, and I was missing something. For my purposes, I'll probably just write a script to copy backups of the affected Makefiles and another to copy them back in case I need to restore them, as there are several.

ssh: MS-Windows connection to 4-Stable is OK, but to 5.3 is not.
Hello, A collegue of mine uses MS-Windows and connects to my FreeBSD PCs with some Window Manager's software by SSH protocol. To my 4-Stable PC (with SSH-3.5p1) this works just fine. To my 5.3 PC (with SSH-3.8.1p1) the connection is refused. We have tried again and again, double-checked the password and so on. I think it has something to do with a different system configuration of sshd. Can someone help me with this?

Java under Opera 7.54?
Hi all. Web browsers evidently don't like me. I'd prefer to run Firefox, but it frequently either core-dumps on signal 11 or just disappears entirely; as it is I'm basically only able to use it for Gmail. So I turned back to Opera, which has proven quite stable. However, I've NEVER been able to get Java working under Opera. The docs say that it uses Java 2(various example paths have J2RE) and the only Java 2 thing I can find is the SDK. Given the time it took to compile the JRE I've got, I'd rather not install that port only to find that it's useless to me. FreeBSD 5.2.1, Opera 7.54, and I did try pointing Opera to my existing Java path, /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/ When asked to Validate, Opera says it looks fine, but when I restart it, Help-About reports no JRE installed and Java applets don't work. The checkbox to activate Java is greyed out. Has anyone been able to convince Java and Opera to get along under FreeBSD? If so, any help would be appreciated. I'm not the most technical of people, so while I can install FreeBSD just fine, the multitude of JREs and JDKs leaves me at a loss.

Swap - Vinum - G_Vinum
Hello, I have found this link: http://www.freebsd.de/archive/de-bsd-questions/de-bsd-questions.200410/0112.html There is a statement in there: Ab -- wahrscheinlich so -- 5.5-RELEASE wird vinum komplett durch (ein formatkompatibles) geom-basiertes Vinum-Framework (g_vinum) ersetzt (vielen Dank an Lukas Ertl, da er sich die Heidenarbeit macht). For the ones that can't read German: It says that g_vinum probably will be introduced in the FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE. Can anyone confirm/deny this? I am currently waiting for the 5.3-RELEASE because someone told me g_vinum should be in there. Should it be better, since it is going te be a production server, to put in normal ATA disks and install FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE where vinum does works correct?

FreeBSD STABLE, CURRENT and upgrading
Hi All, I am using FreeBSD since 5.2 RELEASE and I am now running 5.2.1 RELEASE. I upgraded between the two versions from scratch that means I backuped the main configuration files and directories (like home), deleted the old version, installed the new one and reconfigured the whole system. As I see 5.3 is now coming up so I want to avoid this procedure. I have read the handbook, the FAQs and Greg Lehey's book 'The complete FreeBSD'.But I am still quite unsure/confused about some aspects of FreeBSD philosophy. 1) CURRENT and STABLE As I read in the FAQS there are two main development branches: STABLE and CURRENT. At the moment the 4-STABLE is the STABLE-branch and the 5-CURRENT is the current brunch up to the point where it gets STABLE (I think it is 5.3). Then the CURRENT branch will change to 6? Is that right. Then FreeBSD would have two STABLE branches (4 and 5) so what will then be the difference between them? Or will the 4 branch be ended? So I am not quiet sure about this terminology. 2) Updating 5.2.1 As far as I understood there are three parts of the system that have to be upgraded: kernel userland ports So to do the first two ones I am going to use sysinstall (I use a slow internet connection so I have to by the CDs with binary collection). After userland and kernel have been upgraded I need to upgrade my prts/packages. Therefore I copy my binary packages (from the CDs) to /usr/ports/packages/All and first run portversion and then portupgrade -P Is this all for now? 3) Get the latest security patches/packages On the FreeBSD security page I have read about three security patches for the 5.2.1 RELAESE. They only affected the kernel. Running freebsd-update gave me a lot more security hints but for the packages. So am I right believing that the security patches only regard kernel and to get the latest package-updates I have to run freebsd-update? Or is there another possibility?

Actually yea now that I've had time to think about it, the cable that goes from the CD-Rom to the sound card is usually a 3 or 4 wire cable, like you see in head phones, so based on that fact it has to be analog already. What about the ones that have 2-pin digital audio out and what about direct digital playback (i.g. ripping)?

Though I've found FreeBSD nicer than all the other systems I've tried, that is a personal choice. I like KDE. Many others like it too. You can get a useable replacement desktop by just installing all of kde. Many other people like Gnome, I've never used it so I can't say anything about it. The KDE guys like to point out the Gnome tries to make you do it their way while KDE lets you configure everything to work like you want. I don't know what the Gnome guys say. Try both and make your own decisions (your users can make their own decision if you configure things right) Unless you have slow machines (you don't) or are used to something else, start with gnome or kde. You can mix and match the two to some extent. Either alone will do everything you want. There are better programs for some things, but for the most part the best desktop apps are part of either Gnome or KDE.

ciss and SmartArray 5300, performance expectations?
Hi! I have been offered to buy a Compaq SmartArray 5300 (not sure exactly what version, I think it's the 5302/64) and some discs (14 x 36GB) that is no longer being used after an upgrade. I'm not getting it for free, so I'm only interested if it actually provides decent performance. What is the word on this controller and the support for it in FreeBSD 5.3/6.0? I understand it is supported through the ciss driver, but I have been unable to find any recent detailed discussions on how well this driver works. I did find a discussion about the lack of support for TCQ from 2002, but that's about it as far as detailed discussions go. Also, can I expect the 5300 to play nice with my non-Compaq server? It uses a Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard so it has 64bit/66MHz PCI, but I'm worried that maybe the card wants to live in a Compaq Proliant machine and won't work properly in my server (with regards to building arrays from BIOS and similar tasks). How about firmware upgrades of the card and/or the discs? Can that be done without a Proliant server? I would appreciate any information! /Daniel Eriksson ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: mac os X
Is the Darwin project part of the FreeBSD group such as FreeBSD for PPC or is now a separate entity? Can the code from Darwin be used back in FreeBSD? I can't answer all of your questions, but I can field this part. OpenDarwin is an open source project spun off by apple to allow further development of the Darwin core of Mac OS X. Another words, Darwin is the UNIX underlying part of OS X. Its a different operating system. Apple uses code from FreeBSD, but its much different. In fact, parts of the darwin kernel are written in C++ whereas the FreeBSD kernel is written in C (at least everything i've looked at so far). Apple does not use a FreeBSD kernel, but rather a hacked up kernel from their next acquisition that they injected with newer NetBSD/FreeBSD code. (it contained BSD code before, they simply updated it) Parts of Darwin are structured like a *BSD and other parts follow the methodologies of a Mach kernel design (basically object oriented, using messages). The biggest thing apple uses from FreeBSD is most of the userland utilities. Commands like ps, kill, bsdmake, etc. (apple defaults to gnu make now, but bsdmake is still there) Some of the code can be used from Darwin under the apple open source license. For example, the HFS+ file system support code.

First, to fix the problem with the arrow keys, make a backup of your bookmarks file (and cookie file if you want), nuke the default firefox directory under .mozilla, and run firefox again. Deleting just the preferences may also work. After doing this, if you deleted the entire directory, you'll need to restore the files that you backed up. Second, when dealing with a forum where you're getting help dealing with problems, it's generally best not to lead in with attitude. It would have been easier for me to simply delete the message and keep going, but I took the time to post the solution because there might be someone else having this problem who is worth answering.

I personally use either WindowMaker or XFCE, depending on my mood :). Here's my observations: KDE and GNOME: Pro: Both would be best for someone coming directly from MS Windows. Both have high sex-appeal for the great un-washed masses. I know it sounds superfluous, but people's impressions are their realities. If someone coming off Windows thinks they're getting a plain-vanilla, featureless environemtn, they won't be as satisfied. If it's cool and has lots of bells and whistles, they *might* have a more favorable impression. Both have so many included programs, you may not have to install separate applications. Con: Both are a bear to support AND upgrade. They are huge compiles from ports and prone to tricky upgrade/compile problems. Both have way too many included programs. Most is not used but yet you must compile and support them anyway. If you're going to implement either of these two, I suggest one of the following methods for builds/updates. Builds: dedicate a machine that you can use to for building/rebuilding troubleshooting the desktop environment. When you've got it working, build packages and install them on the workstations. XDM: Even better than having these huge desktop environments running on many boxes, configure a beefy server to be an X client and have users run off the the server. It will simplify many aspects of user management and you'll only have to deploy once! Alternative. I've found a happy medium between the austerity of WindowMaker and the kitchen-sink effect of KDE/GNOME. That is, XFCE with ROX-FILER. It's light and fast like WM but featureful and good-looking. It doesn't bundle in tons of apps that you'll never use. In fact, if you use Mozilla (Firefox/Thunderbird) for browser/email, OpenOffice.org for productivity apps, you've got the majority of the apps general workers will need. Final caveat... I support people mostly browsing, emailing, writing documents, making HTML docs, editing graphics, occassionally ripping/burning CDs. Not power users by any stretch. If your users are developers or power users, many of the experiences I've tried to convey many not be applicable. -- Regards, Doug Or point to some documentation on building a secure stable desktop enviroment. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Rid of those Windows Desktops!
I've never really put a lot of time into turning FreeBSD into a solid work station which I'm sure it's more than able to be. certainly the best I've used on the desktop For the most part all the workstations will be used for the usuall, web,email, irc and local development. Noted, I'll reply regarding these specifically. Cutting the long story short for people who use FreeBSD as a desktop currently, what version is recommended at the moment for such a task. Almost assuredly 5.3 woudl be the way to go. Someone else mentioned this earlier. It's the version that will allow you to easily upgrade from stable version to stable version. Most of the boxes have fairly good specs, 1.9GHZ plenty of hdd space and lots of RAM. Can people recommend some nice window managers, email clients etc ? Of course. I can at least tell you what I have and haven't tried/used. Web: I use konqueror for most of my browsing, but understand that I'm very much in the minority when I do so. Further gmail is not supported in it. Firefox is the only other browser that I use currently in FreeBSd. I've used Opera and Galeon/Skipstone without any real hatred. Email: Because I don't try to deviate too much from the kde desktop currently, (tracking development) I've been using kmail. It has a few features missing and one of them specifically (delete only deleted messages from server) does make me use thunderbird sometimes. I've not tried evolution, although I hear only good things about it. IRC: I recommend no client more heartily than irssi. IMHO, irc isn't something that can be easily (or at least hasn't been as I've seen it) graphicalised. I used XChat for a while, but when I used it it was relatively unstable. Also, being able to use irssi in conjunction with screen makes IRC much easier to keep logs. Local Dev: This depends heavily on what type of development you are doing. vim/kvim and gcc/g++ is my choice environment for C and C++ programming. It's not a full-flavoured environment, but I find nothing that I can't do with those tools. If you do Java programming, I recommend giving netbeans a try. If you are trying to do local graphical applications, kDevelop isn't so bad. My usual choice of environment on beefy systems (= 1.0 ghz 686's) I tend to use KDE. I like the configurability and it is more full featured than I'd ever need. A /lot/ of people like to use something substantially lighter (RAM usage and login time for reasons). One of the solutions I've found that is very much acceptable to me is a combination of OpenBox and Kicker (from kde). Gives me a full-featured bar and system tray coupled with a VERY light window manager. I would think the best possible suggestion as you embark is to try a bunch. Fluxbox, Blackbox, Openbox, Gnome, XFCE4, KDE, IceWM, and more. It never hurts to look at alternatives. I hope this helps. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Rid of those Windows Desktops!
Snip Pro: Both would be best for someone coming directly from MS Windows. Both have high sex-appeal for the great un-washed masses. I know it sounds superfluous, but people's impressions are their realities. If someone coming off Windows thinks they're getting a plain-vanilla, featureless environemtn, they won't be as satisfied. If it's cool and has lots of bells and whistles, they *might* have a more favorable impression. Both have so many included programs, you may not have to install separate applications. Con: Both are a bear to support AND upgrade. They are huge compiles from ports and prone to tricky upgrade/compile problems. Both have way too many included programs. Most is not used but yet you must compile and support them anyway. -- Regards, Doug Snip Thanks for all the advice so far, I guess I best clear somethings up. This is a project for the home, to turn all the 2k boxes to FreeBSD Workstations with some form of GUI. Personaly I all ready do most of my work from home on a 2k box but ssh'd to a FreeBSD box in work for mail,irc,lynx etc. The rest of the famliy have all used FreeBSD without a GUI, eithier pine,mutt,lynx,irrsi or all of the above at sometime or another and are fairly comfortable with that. So even tho most will be coming from a Windows background they're very comfortable all ready in a UNIX/BSD enviroment. I just want to to take 2k out of all the machines And replace them with nice FreeBSD desktops, XFCE and some of the other applications mentioned all ready seem to be perfect for this job, xchat firefox etc Thanks for all the comments please keep them coming Cheers Brian --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: Rid of those Windows Desktops!
Hello, Brian wrote: So I've been planning this for sometime and finally have the time to do it. Great! =) [...] I've never really put a lot of time into turning FreeBSD into a solid work station which I'm sure it's more than able to be. Yes, it is. =) I've been using FreeBSD 5.x on my desktop machine for about a year now - I had just one really frustrating experience when my box would get quite unstable, but it turned out to be hardware-related. Otherwise it's been great. =) Since you already have experience with FreeBSD, migration won't be too painful, I think. I hope you'll enjoy FreeBSD as much as I do. =) For the most part all the workstations will be used for the usuall, web,email, irc and local development. Unless you want to do development in exotic languages, FreeBSD is perfectly suitable for that. Firefox/Thunderbird/Mozilla Suite are available for FreeBSD as well as lots of other applications. Same goes for IRC and development... BTW, FreeBSD is also suitable for e.g. watching TV or DVDs as well as lots of digital formats for video and music. In fact, it detected my on-board soundchip out of the box, whereas both Windows 2000 and 2003 didn't. Cutting the long story short for people who use FreeBSD as a desktop currently, what version is recommended at the moment for such a task. Version of FreeBSD? Well, technically the production-release is still 4.x, but as I said, I've been using FreeBSD 5.x on my desktop (AthlonXP 2400+, now a dual AthlonMP 2400+) for about a year now. Besides the hardware-issues (my power-supply would just fail every now and then), I didn't have any trouble. Also, the release of 5.3 is imminent, which will be the first production release to have a 5 in front of the dot. =) So I recommend version 5. As of now, I'm using 5.3-BETA7, and it works great. Most of the boxes have fairly good specs, 1.9GHZ plenty of hdd space and lots of RAM. What exactly is lots of RAM? I think you should have 128MB for a graphical environment, preferrably more if you want to run lots of memory-eaters (like KDE). I've been happy for a long time with 256MB, now I have 512 and am even more happy. =) But 128 to 256 should be sufficient under most conditions. If they are at 1.9GHz, chances are rather good they have more than enough RAM. =) As for CPU speed, a Pentium III 450 can make for a decent desktop machine, so you've got nothing to fear, here... Can people recommend some nice window managers, email clients etc ? Window Manager: I use Window Maker. I've been using it for some years now, and I love it. It's easy to use, doesn't waste my ressources and it has everything I need, namely virtual desktops. Plus, it has a sidebar that can be extended with useful DockApps. Email/Web: I use Firefox and Thunderbird happily. Again, they are quite easy to use, not too ressource-hungry and got everything I need. Thunderbird has excellent junk-mail detection, Firefox has an extension called AdBlock which does a great job at blocking ads. For IRC i use xchat, though I gotta admit I just chose the first irc-client that came to mind. For programming I like gvim, since it's... well, vi plus some useful enhancements. Emacs I just use for HTML... (Probably Emacs is great, but I don't know any lisp and haven't had much success at learning it) Or point to some documentation on building a secure stable desktop enviroment. Uh, the handbook?

Re: Syslog Server - splitting log info from client machines

I want separate log file for imapd, pop3d, etc. How do I do this with stock syslogd? Look at the `+hostname' specification in syslog.conf(5). You can use something like this: +host1 *.* /var/log/remote/host1/messages +host2 *.* /var/log/remote/host2/messages in your `syslog.conf' file. Please note that adding this to the end of the syslog.conf file will not inhibit logging of the same messages to /var/log/messages or any other matches found earlier. Thus, this syslog.conf file: *.* /var/log/messages +foo *.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages Will log the messages from host `foo' both in /var/log/messages *AND* /var/log/remote/foo/messages. To make syslogd log the messages from host `foo' only in /var/log/remote/foo/messages you'd have to use something like this: -foo *.* /var/log/messages +foo *.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages Multiple hosts can be specified like this: -foo,bar *.* /var/log/messages +foo *.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages +bar *.* /var/log/remote/bar/messages Regards, Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mailgraph from the ports - now what do I do?
Greetings, After referencing the article here: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/08/12/mailgraph.html I decided to just install mailgraph from the FreeBSD ports system. So, after installing it successfully (well, there were no errors), I am trying to find the executable mailgraph program: mx1# find / -name mailgraph /usr/ports/mail/mailgraph /var/db/mailgraph And /var/db/mailgraph is empty.

While I was looking up always_bcc, I found the sender_bcc_map and receiver_bcc_map, using the two of those I can specify which accounts to apply that for instead of blindly applying it to the whole site. After I had that working, being one to not leave well enough alone, I set up up a virtual mail address to log these mails and allow us to review them and delete them. For me it meets the overall monitoring requirement, but so burdensome as to make e-mail a pain for them. Thinking this through and speculating a bit, I could come up with a solution similar to the milter which puts stuff into a logfile by defining a transport that does that in the master.cf file.

mount problem
I'm having a problem mounting a harddrive. Whenever I try to mount the drive I get bad superblock. I have even cheated and booted the machine using knoppix and from there the drive mounts and reports the correct space being used, but when I run ls it lists absolutely no files. If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: From Cuba
Hello I want to know if i can help to FreeBSD Project here in Cuba, i can help in enything you want, in translation and distribution, i can send my adreeses The best thing to do is to start running FreeBSD - if you haven't already done so, download and install a recent version, probably 4.10 and gain experience in it. Then, just start doing things. There is a Spanish translation project now. Look at it and see what you can add and submit your additions and corrections. If it is appropriate to have a separate language track for Cuban Spanish, then you have a big project ahead of you. Go to:http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/index.html Click on the Translation link near the bottom of the page and then on the 'Spanish Documentation Project' link in the list. I think you will be surprised how much is done and get an idea of what you can do. In general, you can submit a PR to make additions or corrections for documentation just as you can for program source code.

You say you are trying to 'mount a harddrive' but did you slice, partition and build file systems on it? Certainly if you did not do that you would see a bad superblock error message.

how to enable del key under bash?
Hi all, I am using FreeBSD 4.10, working under bash. I use keymap german.iso, and everything works fine, no problems with deadkeys or similar. Only thing is, I can't use the del key.

FreeBSD 4.10 not finding 3ware controllers
Hi, I just got a new server with a SuperMicro X6DH8-G motherboard. it's basically a dual xeon board with 2 3Ware controllers in it. The Controllers: 8006-2LP 8506-4LP A couple of days ago I installed 4.10 on old Dell 300S PowerEdge server, with the same 3ware controllers and the installation went flawlessly. However on this machine FreeBSD doesn't can't seem to autodetect the controllers. I'm thinking that 4.10 doesn't have support for the motherboards, but I'm not entirely sure. Has anybody else experienced the same thing, or have any insight into this? Does this require some kernel tweaks of the installation CD? Thanks.

Problems installing Subversion
I'm trying to install Subversion on a computer running FreeBSD 4.9, with a fully updated Ports tree. There seems to be some kind of apr-related problem, though it's not clear why. When I first ran portinstall, it installed apr itself, and everything ran smoothly with that install, but when it returned to Subversion I got --- === Returning to build of subversion-1.0.8 === Configuring for subversion-1.0.8 You select to use`devel/apr' for apr library.
