Re: Prism GT Chipset, hostap?

2005-01-01 Thread Jiri Mikulas
Hello
For Prism2.5 based cards you can use native wi driver, hostap works well,
except bug in tx rate detection - it's fixed to 2Mbit/s
more info there
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-May/027476.html
For PrismGT there is non-oficial driver from Green
http://green.homeunix.org/~green/prism54-driver/pff/
just compile it, it creates if_pff.ko module, then load it
I found the problem, that if I load module in already running system, it works 
well,
but if I load it at the boot (if_pff_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf),
I got panic (something with locking, i'll give some info to green after 
debugging)
however hostap works well
I have already compiled version on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Tue Nov 16 09:56:37 
CET 2004
you can get it on (also with firmware - see Makefile) in one tgz

As you seem to already have figured out, the solution is to run a local
newsserver which gathers messages from several servers and caches them.

There are two different ways of getting news from upstream.  The first
is to have them send everything to you. This requires some kind of
agreement with the upstream-server.
The other is to pull articles one by one from the upstream just like a
normal nntp-client.
Most nntp-servers can be configured to pull data from upstream just as
if it was a client which means that you do not need any sort of special
agreement with upstream.

I am not familiar with INN, but I feel fairly certain that it can be
configured to pull articles from upstream.

You might also wish to take a look at the leafnode or nntpcache ports,
both of which seem to have been designed exactly to do what you need.

Dnews can also be configured to do what you want, but since that is a
commercial program (with a free download and a free trial period) you
might not want it.

Yes, it should be set to "NO" for any operating system. The only

This should not be necessary. You could try to load "setup
defaults" in your BIOS and use FreeBSD 5.3 instead of 5.2.1.

Compiling FreeBSD 4.10 kernel with gcc native and gcc-3.4.3

2005-01-01 Thread dkouroun


Dear FreeBSD people,
I had problems in my ATHLON-XP with 5.3 Release.
While compiling the kernel to use NVIDIA drivers
I opened emacs and everything freezed 2 times!
The third time I didn't touch emacs so the kernel
compilation finished without everything to freeze!
Thus I decided to install FreeBSD 4.10!


Everything was working fine! I then recompiled the kernel
such that I can use the nvidia drivers. Here is my config

Whack-a-mole until you're confident everything works correctly.  It's a
matter of trial and error.


> 2:) Why FreBSD 4.10 is using such an old compiler?

Nobody has upgraded it.  What's there is stable and works; nobody has
volunteered to replace it, test, and assure that all is correct.
Efforts are going toward RELENG_5 and CURRENT.  ]Note that I do not
speak in any official capacity, and am open to corrections, but would be
surprised if anyone disagreed.

No.  See above URLs; gcc 3.4 scared me, so I backed off to 3.3.

HP psc2105 "all in one" printer under 5.3?

2005-01-01 Thread Colin J. Raven
Has anyone sucessfully gotten an HP psc2105 printer to work on 
5.3-RELEASE? I have a  box that I'd like to put to use as (in 
addition to his other tasks) a workgroup print server for a herd of 
XP/2000 PC's.

I don't see *any* *nix drivers for this device on the HP site, and 
buying another printer just isn't a viable option at this moment.

(Madly reading the Printing section of the Handbook and hoping for some 
inspiration therein)

Am I to understand correctly that portmanager _always_ updates ALL the

Good General Purpose Text Markup Language

2005-01-01 Thread Loren M. Lang
I'm looking for a good way to be able to markup text strings stored in a
database for displaying text in bold or other highlights and links to
other docs.  I'm thinking some kind of sgml or xml markup language would
be best.  I want a generic way to add it so it can be converted to many
other forms besides html.  I'll need paragraphs, bold, italics,
superscripts for TM, and hyperlinks, but probably not much more.  I've
thought about using a minimal subset of xhtml so it can easily be
converted to other forms, but I've heard of linuxdoc and whatever
freebsd uses might be better.  Any recommendations?

Devfs question

2005-01-01 Thread SPYRIDON PAPADOPOULOS
Hi,

Well i use freebsd for sometime and i know many things in here but anyway i do 
NOT consider my self advanced user... So i am sorry if i cannot explain my 
problem properly.
First of all i am running at the moment FreeBSD  5.2.1-RC2 on a DELL Latitude 
C810 Laptop.
I have a problem with my sound card it is an ESS Technology Maestro3 pci card 
as FreeBSD recogizes also. The thing that makes me worry here is that when in 
X-windows i open the Info Center and press on "storage devices" section it 
gives me this screen with the storage devices which actually are my partitions 
or cdroms. (Sorry i am no sending a screenshot) so there is the root " / " 
paritions among with "/var", "/tmp", "/usr" and "/dev". Now all of them shows a

Is this normal?
Yes. Devfs is not a file system that exists on a disk, it is a device 
listing that is organized into a file system hierarchy. It (and procfs) 
are always full.

Yes, devfs is a virtual filesystem, it takes no space on any real device
like a hard disk.  All files under /dev are a special type of file
called character or block device files and have no data in themselves,
but are basically symbolic names for various devices in your system.
Also, as devfs is maintained in memory and all files are created
automatically as hardware appears and disappears, like usb devices, it
only uses as much memory as needed and, therfore, will allways show up
as 100% full.

4.10, USB driver problems

2005-01-01 Thread Gregor Mosheh
For several months I've been using an external USB
hard drive, under 4.10 and the EHCI driver. It's
worked perfectly for months.

As of a month ago, when I swapped the drive for
another one, the drive has not worked properly. A few
days ago, my employer went on-site (the server is
colocated) to swap the drive. The new drive had the
same problem, and rebooting the server did not correct
the problem.

It was also reported that the last time he unplugged
the drive (the fs on the drive was not mounted) the
system crashed; he has since not plugged in the drive.

Now the details...

dmesg shows that it found a mass storage device and
properly identifies it, and usbdevs also reports the
drive; however, attempting to mount the drive causes
"mount: /dev/da0s1e: Device not configured" and the
message "umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT" appears in
the dmesg.

The external drive uses device usb4, since usb0
through usb3 are reported as USB1.

It was suggested that having both the USB1 (uhci) and
USB2 (ehci) driver may be causing confusion in the
kernel. I find this unlikely, though, since it's been
working for months.

Any thoughts or troubleshooting tips?

Please help: burncd errors

2005-01-01 Thread Xinizul Xinizul
Hello all:

I'm trying to burn an iso image containing a folder of mp3 files.

I'm using FreeBSD 5.3 and I'm using my Pioneer DVR-A06 DVD / CD Writer: 

-bash-2.05b$ dmesg | grep acd
acd0: DVDR  at ata0-master UDMA33


I'm using burncd as the handbook' chapter 16 explains but I obtain the
following error:

192# burncd -t -f /dev/acd0 audio mp3_1.iso fixate
next writeable LBA 568
writing from file mp3_1.iso size 771328 KB
written this track 955 KB (0%) total 955 KB
only wrote -1 of 37632 bytes: Device busy

I've tried with several speeds as suggested on the www  but the result
was the same.

It seems this is an old known error.

Can someone help me please ?

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Xinizul

An iso file is not audio, but data. Try this instead:

Because it is a stable branch, and upgrading the compiler would break binary

Compiling FreeBSD 4.x kernels and userland with gcc 3.x is unsupported. If you

For one, if you are attempting to burn a data CD, you want to use the
'data' option passed to burncd rather than 'audio'.  Use this for burning
ISO's.

If you truly wish to burn an audio CD, you'll first need to convert your
mp3's to wav's - I generally do this using mplayer with the -ao pcm option,
at which point, you can happily use the 'audio' option for burncd with the
list of wav's to burn.

Actually, aren't all entity refs like that based off of unicode and,
therefore, identical for all sgml/xml based markup languages?

Exactly. CDs that are burned with the 'audio' option SHOULD be
readable in every CD player. 'data' CDs with MP3 files MAY be
readable in modern CD- or DVD-Players with MP3 capability as
well. Since this is not standardized, you should consider using
ISO9660 with RockRidge and Joliet extentions when making the CD
image:

$ mkisofs -v -r -T -J -o /var/tmp/mp3_1.iso /path/to/mp3s
# burncd -f /dev/acd0 -s 4 data /var/tmp/mp3_1.iso fixate

keeping the hierarchy below /path/to/mp3s as flat as possible,
using .mp3 extensions for the mp3 files, not putting too many files
per folder and using conservative sampling rates that are recognized
by most hardware players (128 kbps, 44000).

I hadn't tried multiple X sessions under Xorg 6.7 (I've gone to 6.8
now).  I can't reproduce the problem.

Try going to text consoles instead of to another X session; that may
help determine if you're actually having problems with X, or if the

Of course. You can try cdrecord from /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools.

For this to work, you need to add
  device atapicam
to your kernel config file, recompile, reinstall and reboot the kernel.
Once you've done that, you should see a device 'cd0' in dmesg and /dev.
You can try burncd on /dev/cd0, or cdrecord with the appropriate SCSI ID:

# cdrecord -scanbus
should then give you the correct SCSI ID a,b,c to use.

# cdrecord -v dev=a,b,c speed=4 mp3_1.iso
for data CDs.

# cdrecord -v dev=a,b,c speed=1 -audio track*.wav
for audio CDs.

Good luck!

Unless you want something with interactive features and want something
in the base, I really don't see much of a reason to choose tcsh.

It can make a nice tuner control script using hotkeys and ect, but not
much else.

Tcsh if you ever try scripting in it will become a PITA with the lack
of functions and a few other things.

Problems with digital camera

2005-01-01 Thread Trey Sizemore
Hoping that someone can see what I may be overlooking. I've got a Nikon
CoolPix 885 that I'm attempting to connect to my FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
machine via it's USB connector to a D-Link 7-port USB hub. The hub
itself is connected via one of two USB ports on the tower. I have the
following in /boot/loader.conf:





salamander# cat /boot/loader.conf
snd_emu10k1_load="YES"
usb_load="YES" # USB support
ums_load="YES" # USB mouse
umass_load="YES" # USB Zip 100 drive Or Camera



and the following in my /etc/rc.conf:

and this in a /etc/devfs.rules file that I created per another post I

The following lines appear in my /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file (this is
out-of-the-box, I have not recompiled the kernel since initial install):

However, when I connect my camera via the USB connector and turn it on,
I get no messages in dmesg and usbdevs shows

What have I missed? I assumed with the latter configured as I've
outlined, I should be able to have the camera plugged in on a running
system, see it detected, and then mount. Later I could add an entry to
fstab for the device to make this a little easier.

correct, for now. I like the idea of what your suggestion though I

I have that same model.  I never bothered to try hooking it directly
to the USB port.  The camera uses CompactFlash cards, so I picked up a
SanDisk USB reader (Sandisk PN: SDDR-31) and hooked it to the USB
port.  All I needed in the kernel config was the umass device, which
it sounds like you already have.

Then I just mount the inserted card as a dos partition (usually

Months rent...same here ;-)

I have a SanDisk reader as well.  Are you saying you plug the card in
the SanDisk reader and *then* boot?  It won't work "on-the-fly"?

sharing printers with Mac - Rendezvous?

2005-01-01 Thread Timothy Luoma
I've been trying to find information on how to setup printer sharing so 
that I can print from a Mac to a FreeBSD machine on the same LAN.

Everything I find seems to revolve around the announcement for 
Rendezvous, but it's mostly PR and little actual information.

The question I can't seem to find an answer to is:
What's the easiest way to setup a printer (USB connected to FreeBSD) so 
I can print from a Mac to it?

(the FreeBSD machine has a static IP, if that helps)
Any help, including good pointers?  I'm familiar with CUPS from Mac OS 
X so I'm going to try to explore that as a possibility.

No, my reader has to be plugged in at boot, but inserting the card
works on the fly.  Your device may be different, but mine has always
been /dev/da0s1 for the card itself.

The /dev partition is pretty manageable in 5.3, so you might try an
ls /dev 
and look for /dev/da0*.  It might just jump out at you.  I do an ls
before inserting the card, and I see da0, but not da0s1.  After
inserting the card, da0s1 is there.  Sometimes it's instantaneous,
other times it takes a couple attempts to mount, but it works.

Perhaps someone else on the list will know how to get the reader
detected on the fly without a reboot, or perhaps the command to check
the reader for an inserted card?

I had thought camcontrol was it, but it doesn't seem to recognize that
the card was removed.

Well, I've removed the entries in /boot/loader.conf (seemed redundant),
connected the SanDisk with card to the desktop, and rebooted. Here is

External USB Harddrive

2005-01-01 Thread Sergei Gnezdov
Hi,

I am using Asus A7N8X Rev 1.06 motherboard on FreeBSD 5.3 release.  I
want to use my USB hard drive.  It would be the first USB device I use.
What is the procedure?

Here is what seems to be a related dmesg output:

usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support
usb0:  on ohci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0

usb1: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support
usb1:  on ohci1
usb1: USB revision 1.0

umass0: Western Digital USB Hard Drive, rev 2.00/11.05, addr 3
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0

da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 114473MB (234441648 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 14593C)

I think the drive is probably NTFS formatted.  If it is not NTFS it is
FAT32.

I don't remember the drive specs, but it can do better than USB 1.0.

bad display name/xserver question

2005-01-01 Thread Ned Harrison
I'm running 5.3-RELEASE-p2.
I am unable to open a terminal window in either windowmaker or the 
default twm window manager.  No error messages go to the log files.  
However after x crashes there will be output messages to the screen 
along these lines:

Xauth: (argu):1:  bad display name "nedsbsd.cox.net : 0" in "list" command
The nedsbsd is something I'm willing to change if needed.  I entered it 
months ago when I initially installed FreeBSD didn't know what the 
install program was asking for when it asked for a display name. I 
figured I could change it later.  I neglected to change it when it 
seamed to not cause problems.

xorg/dri-6.2_1,2 upgrade problems

2005-01-01 Thread Ned Harrison
Thanks again.  I'll try the portmanager.  I read through a discussion of 
it in freebsd-questions, but didn't have a command example to try.  
(Thanks for your command suggestion for portmanager.)  For portupgrade I 
have paper copies of the man page and paper copy of an article which I 
cross reference before running it. You are right on dependencies not 
being built.  I had to pkg_delete qt and rebuild it from ports in order 
to upgrade kde.  Before seeing your message I ran portupgrade on xorg 
using the -frR switch.

X seams to be working now, somewhat.  I use windowmaker as the desktop 
windowmanager for the root.  Entering the command "startx" as root, 
windowmaker starts up and looks fine.  However, I can't open a terminal 
window in it.  The default twm windowmanager crashes.  No error messages 
go to the log but I get a line:

Xauth: (argv):1  bad display name "nedsbsd.cox.net:0" in "list" command
and two others of like nature as messages after x crashes.
I entered "nedsbsd" as a display name when I initially installed FreeBSD 
several months ago.  I had no clue what it the install program was 
asking for at that time and figured I could change it later.  It didn't 
seam to cause any problems so I neglected to change it.

I generally cvsup my ports and fetch the index right before I do any 
upgrading.  Even if it's just the next day.  Never know when something 
new is going to pop in that could cause a make to crash.
I took down the optimizations you suggested.  The lines currently have 
no meaning to me, so I'll need to read up a bit.  I've been running 
FreeBSD for less than a year and I've had no computer experience or 
training outside very basic MS windows.  So many things are new and many 
are incomprehensible at first look.  Dispite that I feel far more 
comfortable and secure using FreeBSD than I ever did using Windows.  
That's why I'll keep plugging away.

I use /usr/ports/graphics/gphoto2 to grab the pictures off of my camera.

$ dmesg

courier-imap installation

2005-01-01 Thread artware
Hey everyone,

I'm a n00b to FreeBSD, and I'm trying to install courier-imap with
5.3, but I'm not sure what steps I should be taking. I did:
pkg_add -r courier-imap
However, when I do:
/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/imapd.rc start
(as the courier-imap manual instructs), it gives me:
/usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd does not exist, forgot make install-configure?
Which is odd, because imapd actually seems to be in
/usr/local/bin/imapd, and I would assume that courier-imap was
configured properly when it was prepared as a port. I would just
change the relevant line in imapd.rc, but I don't want to go mucking
around with something I don't fully understand -- especially because I
need this server to be extremely secure and "by the book." Also, is
there a way to manage courier-imap via Webmin?

Sorry if the answer is obvious or really common -- posting really is
my last resort after searching this list and the web for help. Outside
of this problem, I'm loving FreeBSD. It reminds me of my days running
NetBSD/mac68k on my Mac IIsi. :)

Thanks in advance!

Actually, all the responses I've seen so far have been incorrect, or
haven't mentioned the real reason.  FreeBSD 4.10 is using gcc 2.95
because later versions of g++ produce incompatible object code, so we
cannot update without forcing every 4.x user to recompile every piece
of C++ code on their system.  That's not acceptable in a -stable
branch.

Compiling the base system with a version of GCC other than that which
is shipped with the base system (i.e. GCC 2.95 for 4.x) is not
supported, and if you manage to get it working you're on your own
support-wise (i.e. do not submit bug reports against your custom
system, because they're probably your own bugs and you'll waste
developer time trying to follow them up).  If you think you really
need a version of FreeBSD compiled with GCC 3.x, consider updating to
FreeBSD 5.3.

damn, you should configure your server in /usr/local/etc/courier-imap
and *after* the configuration you could start the pop3 server if you
successfuly configured it.

if you only want plain pop3 that might be a good choice,
courier-imap is imap, imap-ssl, pop3 and pop3-ssl,
although you can certainly choose to enable just one of them

I think the drive is probably NTFS formatted.  If it is not NTFS it is
FAT32.
I don't remember the drive specs, but it can do better than USB 1.0.

Well, can't you mount it?
if it is fat 32
mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/
if it is ntfs
mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/
good luck!

Did you look in the /usr/local/etc/courier-imap directory?  It will
contain a number of *.dist files that you will have to copy and
modify to configure your installation.  For example, if you want
to serve imap you will have to rename imapd.dist to imapd and edit
the resulting /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/imapd file so that it is
configured the way you want.  The file is heavily commented and the
necessary changes should be trivial.

That is the executable.

It was installed properly, but quite a few ports require some post-
install configuration, especially on the server side.

In fact I have converted my mp3 files to wav following a tutorial I

I just want to burn them and I thought this was the way (1st create an
ISO, 2nd burn the ISO)
Anyway I have the same problem:

Well... I am going to start by referring you to the best
source first:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
That said, if what you want is to burn a folder of mp3
files to a disk, what you want is mkisofs and burncd
with the data command. Something like:
mkisofs -J -r -o shiny_new.iso mp3folder
burncd -f /dev/acd0c data shiny_new.iso fixate

Try to reinstall gettext package.

If you use portupgrade make sure that you force reinstall:

portupgrade -fP gettext

The question I can't seem to find an answer to is:
What's the easiest way to setup a printer (USB connected to FreeBSD)

(the FreeBSD machine has a static IP, if that helps)
Any help, including good pointers?  I'm familiar with CUPS from Mac OS

I would recommend setting up the lpd daemon.  This is supported by Mac 
OS X be default, so there's not a whole lot to setup.  No Rendevous 
necessary.

Doing a google search mentioned people seeing this with laptops coming
back from suspend mode.  The machine in question is my desktop running
5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0 and the hard drive is a 120gig SATA. 
My kernel is GENERIC + sound.

I haven't seen any other issues, no system slowdowns or anything, and
thus far I haven't seen anything on my Windows partition either.

The drive is just over 1 year old, could it be dying already?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

courier-imap's pop3 server runs standalone by default... you should

How To Make Vinum Keep Config Across Reboots?

2005-01-01 Thread Drew Tomlinson
Since an upgrade from 4.9 to 4.10, I've had problems with vinum.  The basic
problem is that upon reboot, two of my vinum drives show up as 
"referenced" and
thus create the associated chaos.  I've tried many things and fiddled 
around
quite a bit so I can't say exactly what I've done.  I can include all of 
the
entries in the history file since Oct. 31 if that's a help but it would 
be a
long list.

So prior to digging that deep, I will describe where I stand currently and
where I want to finish.  Currently, I have one vinum volume that I use for
/usr. Fortunately this volume is up and running or I would really be in a
mess. Here's the 'vinum list' output in this state:
blacklamb# vinum
vinum -> list
2 drives:
D disk1 State: up   Device /dev/da0s1h  Avail: 
0/8383 MB (0%)
D disk2 State: up   Device /dev/da1s1h  Avail: 
0/8383 MB (0%)

1 volumes:
V usr   State: up   Plexes:   1 Size: 16 GB
1 plexes:

S usr.p0.s0 State: up   PO:0  B Size:   8383 MB
S usr.p0.s1 State: up   PO:  256 kB Size:   8383 MB
I want to add another volume and mount it on /ftp.  After creating the 
volume,
vinum sees it and it appears OK as indicated in this output:

vinum -> list
5 drives:
D disk1 State: up   Device /dev/da0s1h  Avail: 
0/8383 MB (0%)

S ftp.p0.s1 State: up   PO:   74 GB Size: 74 GB
S ftp.p0.s2 State: up   PO:  149 GB Size:111 GB
Next I 'quit' the vinum command line and fsck my newly created volume.  It
finishes successfully and I mount it:
blacklamb# df

I recheck with the 'vinum list' command and the output is the same as 
above.
Now I cross my fingers and reboot to see if the volume comes up properly on
startup.  However ftp3 (/dev/da3s1h) comes up 'referenced' and causes 
problems.

No MAKEDEV in /dev

2005-01-01 Thread Timothy Luoma
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ppp- 
troubleshoot.html tells me to use this command from /dev/:

sh MAKEDEV cuaa0 cuaa1 cuaa2 cuaa3
but there is no MAKEDEV in /dev/
In fact, these are the only references to MAKEDEV on the entire machine:
$ locate MAKEDEV
/usr/ports/emulators/svr4_base/files/SVR4_MAKEDEV
/usr/ports/net/rboot/files/patch-dev::MAKEDEV
/usr/share/man/man8/MAKEDEV.8.gz
/usr/src/share/man/man8/MAKEDEV.8
This seems fairly odd to me.  How I can acquire MAKEDEV for this system  
(FreeBSD 5.3/Intel)?

Well, as far as hardware goes for my tri-monitor, I usually have a
Radeon 7500 and an geforce2 mx400 (or some other cruddy pci card)
though I'm using a matrox G450 for the primary right now.  Really, any
combination of supported video cards will work about equally well.

I'd like to say that this is a trivial thing to do, but I kind of
doubt that it is.  I know of no easy way to do this because X as it is
now, assigns a "head" to a screen (where by head I mean a video card
output) and in doing so, makes the "head" atomic in a sense.  What it
sounds like you'd like to do is create something smaller than this and
assign it to a screen.  It might be substantially easier to just
purchase more monitors or learn to use virtual desktops.  Good luck
finding something that suits you :)

Ah, I guess this is a place where the documentation hasn't yet been 
updated.  I didn't think to check the manpage until just after I sent 
my message.

FWIW, as a layman/FreeBSD newbie, I'd make a suggestion that the 
manpage for MAKEDEV make it a bit more clear that having 'devfs' means 
that MAKEDEV commands are no longer necessary because devfs will take 
care of it automatically.

I found myself trying to read 'man devfs' to figure out a way to 
manually make cuaa0.

FreeBSD 5.3 - Write failure on transfer

2005-01-01 Thread Lino Fusco
Hi,
I am a newbie to this list and I hope I am posting to the correct list - 
apologies if I am off target.

I am installing FreeBSD 5.3 on a  hp netserver LC2000r. The box is a 
dual processor P3 with three scsi2 drives running in a raid1 
configuration with one hot spare.

We have six of these boxes. Three of them are running FreeBSD 4.8 or 4.9 
without a hitch.

I decided to install 5.3 from CD on a fourth box and I am having a problem.
I go through the install process. When it goes to write the file 
structure to the drives it does this in a around 1 second - this seems 
very fast. Then it starts copying from the CD and I quickly get the 
following error:

"Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)"
I click ok and the next error message is:
"unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0, do you want to try 
to retrieve it again?".

So this has started me troubleshooting the possible causes of the problem:
1) First stop was to suspect the freebsd iso I had burnt was suspect. So 
I re burnt the cd  and the problem persisted. I then suspected the ISO I 
had downloaded was corrupted. So I downloaded it again, burnt the cd but 
the problem still persisted.

2) I then suspected the second copy could have come from a cache and 
therefore may have the same problem as the first copy - so I checked the 
md5 signature but it lines up with the original from freebsd.org

3) I suspected the CD Rom drive - so I swapped it with one of our other 
Netserver boxes - problem still persisted.

4)I suspected a drive formatting problem - so I went back into the SCSI 
software, redid the raid drives and reformatted them - problem still 
persisted.

5) I suspected another hardware problem - so I pulled out FreeBSD 4.9 to 
see if that would install - and it did install without any errors. That 
sort of discounts there being any hardware problems. It points to 
something specific to freebsd 5.3.

So this is where I have got to - FreeBSD 4.9 will install without errors 
but 5.3 will not install.

I suspect the problem has to do with the initial setting up of the file 
structure - 5.3 is doing this in about one second whereas 4.9 takes 
closer to a minute to do this.

Any thoughts or suggestion?

I believe FreeBSD 5.3 does support using UFS 1 in the install, just
check the option in the disklabel program, but if the partitioning also
fails then that may not be the problem.

buildworld fails with sendmail

2005-01-01 Thread jason henson
BARTON# cd /usr/src/etc && make -DNOPROFILE
===> sendmail
make: don't know how to make freebsd.cf. Stop
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/src/etc.
I searched the archives and found where  make -n freebsd.cf or make  
obj, make all would fix it.  No good here.  I also deleted usr/src/etc  
and did it again.  Any suggestions?

new Ruby 1.8.2 makes portupgrade core-dump on FreeBSD 4.10 - anyone else?

2005-01-01 Thread Miles Keaton
The new Ruby version 1.8.2 now makes portupgrade core-dump Ruby on
FreeBSD 4.10 for me.

Has anyone else seen this?

Sorry I don't even know how to do a proper bug-report for this.  I'm
just a lowly user.  :-)

Please submit a PR (send-pr) with your suggestion, preferably with a
patch to the manpage source, or at least with your proposed rewording.

Thanks!

Don't do that :-) Running 'make' in random parts of the source tree
isn't supported, that's what 'buildworld' is for.

Re: FreeBSD 5.3 - Write failure on transfer

Hi,
I am a newbie to this list and I hope I am posting to the correct list - 
apologies if I am off target.

I am installing FreeBSD 5.3 on a  hp netserver LC2000r. The box is a 
dual processor P3 with three scsi2 drives running in a raid1 
configuration with one hot spare.

We have six of these boxes. Three of them are running FreeBSD 4.8 or 4.9 
without a hitch.

I decided to install 5.3 from CD on a fourth box and I am having a problem.
I go through the install process. When it goes to write the file 
structure to the drives it does this in a around 1 second - this seems 
very fast. Then it starts copying from the CD and I quickly get the 
following error:

"Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)"
I click ok and the next error message is:
"unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0, do you want to try 
to retrieve it again?".

So this has started me troubleshooting the possible causes of the problem:
1) First stop was to suspect the freebsd iso I had burnt was suspect. So 
I re burnt the cd  and the problem persisted. I then suspected the ISO I 
had downloaded was corrupted. So I downloaded it again, burnt the cd but 
the problem still persisted.

2) I then suspected the second copy could have come from a cache and 
therefore may have the same problem as the first copy - so I checked the 
md5 signature but it lines up with the original from freebsd.org

3) I suspected the CD Rom drive - so I swapped it with one of our other 
Netserver boxes - problem still persisted.

4)I suspected a drive formatting problem - so I went back into the SCSI 
software, redid the raid drives and reformatted them - problem still 
persisted.

5) I suspected another hardware problem - so I pulled out FreeBSD 4.9 to 
see if that would install - and it did install without any errors. That 
sort of discounts there being any hardware problems. It points to 
something specific to freebsd 5.3.

So this is where I have got to - FreeBSD 4.9 will install without errors 
but 5.3 will not install.

I suspect the problem has to do with the initial setting up of the file 
structure - 5.3 is doing this in about one second whereas 4.9 takes 
closer to a minute to do this.

Any thoughts or suggestion?
   

I believe FreeBSD 5.3 does support using UFS 1 in the install, just
check the option in the disklabel program, but if the partitioning also
fails then that may not be the problem.

Hi,
Tried setting the partitions to UFS1 - FreeBSD 5.3 then takes closer to 
a minute to setup the partitions just like 4.9 - but still get the same 
error message when it goes to copy the files.

Thanks but did not work.

I know and I wouldn't do it at random.  I just have been trouble  
shooting and wanted to get the error msg easily without waiting on  
buildworld.  I have done everything by the book, as for the steps go.
So still no suggestions?  I read on an archive where you had a  
smilliar/same problem Kris, do you remember it?

Also are you an android or something, I see you responding to emails  
24/7 within minutes.  You are like a paid support team!  Do you ever  
sleep?

I think I got it!  Some more searching revealed a comman problem with  
the standard refuse file having src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc* in it.   
Hopifully this will solve the problem.

Thanks for the help,
Keep up the good work.

build emacs - Xaw3d.8 problem

2005-01-01 Thread Hugh Ekeberg
Friends
While doing a compile of Emacs-21.3, the build process ended with the 
following error:

===>   emacs-21.3_3 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>   emacs-21.3_3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf213 - found
===>   emacs-21.3_3 depends on shared library: Xaw3d.8 - not found
===>Verifying install for Xaw3d.8 in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/Xaw3d
===>   Returning to build of emacs-21.3_3
Error: shared library "Xaw3d.8" does not exist
*** Error code 1
This has also happened to me while trying to compile Xfig & 
Plugger-Plugins-Hubbe.
The Zaw3d libraries are installed and a file shows a number of 
references to *xaw3d* but not to "Xaw3d.8"
For example:

/usr/ports/distfiles/Xaw3d-1.5.tar.gz
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.so.7
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw3d.a
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Xaw3d
/var/db/pkg/Xaw3d-1.5
I can't find any references to this problem in the archives or the web.
Does anyone have any ideas? If I installed Xfig & Emacs as a package 
over FTP, would that process interfere with my existing libraries?
