Re: FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE as cvsupdated today won't build, OS crashes

crontab synatx
Hello.

Hi,
Sorry for asking this question here. I just thought
that this might be a platform specific issue=). I'm
reading this book(The C Programming Language 2nd
Edition by Brian W. Kernighan. Upon reading the book,
I came up with this example code. It says, it will
count the number of words, lines and characters in the
command line, until I send an EOF signal. I copied it
verbatim and tried compiling it with plain "cc
myprog.c"
It exited with errors:
word.c: In function `main':
word.c:17: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
Any idea what this means?
Thanks.
Here's the code:
#include
#define IN 1
#define OUT 0
main()
{
int c, nl, nw, nc, state;
state = OUT;
nl = nw = nc = 0;
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
++nc;
if (c == '\n')
++nl;
if (c == ' ' || c == '\n' || c = '\t')
state = OUT;
else if (state == OUT) {
state = IN;
++nw;
}
}
printf("%d %d %d\n", nl, nw, nc);

No problem ... Just so you know, the "standard practices" and general recommendations on this list are available here: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html I mention this as top-posting is frowned upon here (though I did a quick fix in my responses, doing more than that is a hassle), and using Outlook/Express is problematic, because the quoting is so horrible. Many people on this list are reading email from consoles using Mutt or Pine, and correctly formatted email and threads helps those people a great deal, as well as everyone else. No worries, just FYI, but do try to remember not to top post even if you have to use MS mail clients for whatever reason. By the way, I was thinking about your problem, and symlinking a system file like /etc/rc.conf might be a problem if you don't have it in the root filesystem. If the filesystem where you have that file gets hosed and you can only work from root to recover (which doesn't get hosed as often, as it doesn't require as many writes), you won't have that file available. It might not be such a problem with that specific file, depending on what you have to do to recover, but with something like /etc/fstab it would be. And using mergemaster is the canonical method to deal with possible overwrites of customized system files by installworld, though you can do a standard install and untar a backup later, overwriting just those files with your backups. Is that what you meant by rebuild the root partition? - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The SCSI standard is pretty big and there's been a lot of go-fast stuff added into it, and a lot of vendors have done lots of different things to their adapter cards to make them go fast. Such as adding support for tagged commands. It is entirely up to the writer of the SCSI device driver whether or not he wants to support the extra go-fast stuff. FreeBSD because of it's nature in use as a server on high-quality hardware, it's drivers tend to take advantage of every last scrap of go-fast hardware available (unless such hardware is hopeless) A great example is the ed0 driver and it's support for the 3com 3c503 card - this card can be run in either PIO mode or shared memory mode - guess which mode the ed0 driver uses? Even though the wd8013 and 3c503 are the only 2 cards out of the bazillions of ne2000 clones that support this mode. You get a gain of perhaps 5% so they go for it. I wouldn't put it past the NT driver author of your SCSI card, in an effort to avoid problems, to have written the NT driver so that ALL transactions on the SCSI bus are asynchronous. Sure this kills your throughput on the SCSI bus - but with 4GB narrow scsi disks, who is going to notice? It greatly reduces support calls because async mode is so slow that even badly terminated SCSI busses will work - thus nobody with a crapped up SCSI cable is calling Microsoft and yelling because their server crashes. Anyway, if this is it, you will not have been the first person with iffy hardware that worked fine under Windows to have it break under FreeBSD. I just had a machine do this to me Friday - a Pentium Pro 150 - but I managed to guess at a change to a BIOS setting that fixed the problem.

6 hours of trying to configure my printer.
Is there an easy way to configure a printer? I've spent over 6 hours so far, and all I can print is 2 blank sheets of paper whenever I try to print something. I was using fluxbox-devel and an HP Deskhet 940c, but I also just tried installing Gnome2 in the hopes it would have a printer config applet - which it doesn't. I've been trying to follow the instructions in my "FreeBSD Unleashed (2nd ED)" book, the online FreeBSD handbook, and some online resources. Basically, I want to be able to print from within X11 apps - like print a webpage from within Firefox. I'm not sure if I should be using CUPS or the lpr method, though I'm pretty sure my printer is not a Postscript printer and I must use Ghostsrcipt at some point. I created some filters, installed ghostscript-gnu, made an entry in /etc/printcap, and am running the lpd daemon. I thought I might have hosed my system by following too many different instructions, so I tried to back out my changes so I could start over. I think I got everything back to the original state. Any suggestions on getting a local deskjet printer to work with fluxbox and Firefox? I'd also like to be able to print from AbiWord and Gnumeric, if possible. thx ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Recent problems with Firefox and java
Hello, It has been a long time since I have queried this list. I want to know if anyone can shed some information on the current status of browser java support. I recently freshly reinstalled 5.3 RELEASE from CD. I currently have: -FreeBSD frodo.ugaloo.org 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Feb 23 -Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 -Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-p7-root_27_feb_2005_19_48) Both are built fresh from ports. When running firefox with java enabled, and browse to a page with a java applet I get to following console error. --- INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2 < System error?:: No such file or directory INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from child process System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable-- --- I have built the java port and included WITH_IPV6. I also caught an earlier error and rebuilt affected ports after upgrading to linux_base-8 as per /usr/ports/UPDATING. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: JDK15 and JDK14 for Firefox and OpenOffice.

BSD Mail wrote:
Greetings, I've installed /usr/ports/java/jdk15 then installed

I'm not really sure why Firefox didn't detect that I have JDK15
installed. Also Later I'm
going to install OpenOffice. In OO website
http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ seems they
want to have JDK14. My question is the following:
1. If for some reason OpenOffice can't use JDK15 and it needs JDK14
can I still keep JDK15 installed or that would cause a conflict ?
The openoffice Makefile has this:
.if !defined(WITHOUT_JAVA)
USE_JAVA= yes
JAVA_VERSION= 1.4+
JAVA_BUILD= jdk
.endif
FWIW:
I built OO WITHOUT_JAVA, and haven't missed it. Not sure what it was
needed for. Admittedly I don't do a lot with OO... docs, spreadsheets,
open the occasional M$ Office doc. Everything seems to work just fine
without java.
You might want to change that to 1.5 and try again. I am just guessing
though.
2. What am I missing with Firefox ? If JDK15 doesn't work with Firefox
I wil install JKD14, although I thought it should work and be detected
by the browser. Do I have to do any linking or specifying a path for
the plugin ? If so please elaborate.
Thanks in advance.
Looks like the firefox Makefile hard-codes the path to the java plugin:
JPI_LIST?=\
${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.1/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
${LOCALBASE}/diablo-jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
\ ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/${ARCH}/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Perhaps you could add the jdk1.5 path to the very start of this list and
try again? The work around would be to just create a softlink manually
for 1.5. This is the 1.4.2 link:
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins$ ls -l libjavaplugin_oji.so
lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 62 Jan 13 19:00
libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Not sure if this is still true but I believe jdk15 is still in beta or
if not, then it has only just been released fully.

Re: Can "/etc/rc.conf" be replaced with a symlink?
All, I changed fstab so that my data partition would supposely mount before root, moved/symlink'd rc.conf, and rebooted. This did not allow rc.conf to be found, so doing this did not make it work.

Perhaps there is a better solution that will eliminate the need to deal with this issue. You might consider writing a script that will backup the files you want, which you write once and use forever, or you can dump the root filesystem (for one) to a backup disk and/or a compressed file.

How do I break a mirror in gvinum in FreeBSD 5.3?; gvinum detach doesn't seem to be implemented.

DHCP and PPP - dns/routes mess
Hello! I wrote about this months ago, and now I had some free time to look into the problem - only to find that it's too complicated for me to fix it on my own. The problem is my machine is configured via DHCP, but I need to use ppp from time to time. PPP adjusts resolv.conf and some routes for internet to work correctly. But dhclient-script messes it all up right on its next invocation (within seconds). This script should probably be fixed, but when I think about the right way of doing it (checking whether ppp is running and whether it has got any relevant dns addresses/routes and whether they should really be taken into account). I'd probably forget it and continue killing dhclient every time I need to use ppp, but it all works so nicely in Windows. Please, people, help me fix it :) Best wishes, Andrew P. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It occurs mostly during periods of high disk activity, especially when I'm trying to download packages or something. It doesn't seem to occur at all on an idle system, which is logical, I guess. Another problem is that the system simply refuses to boot from the SCSI disk; I have to boot from the installation diskettes, then change the current device in the loader program, point to the SCSI disk, and boot again, which works perfectly (but it takes 15 minutes to go through the whole process, and of course it cannot be automated). Oddly enough, I installed boot0cfg to put a boot selector out there, and the hardware finds and runs that off the SCSI disk with no problem. It even gives the FreeBSD slice as a choice for boot. But when I actually select the FreeBSD slice, it freezes. I'm sure this isn't hardware, either.

Don't think you're the first one to do that :) The fact I had never even enabled moused is exactly the reason I had such a hard time finding it. It just never occurred to me that usbd was starting moused up behind my back. Eventually, I realized this was happening, killed moused and it worked.

I had to comment the mouse section out of /etc/usbd.conf and restart usbd (/etc/rc.d/usbd restart) to get it to leave the pointers alone. What I kept forgetting is that usbd would be restarting moused. You have to reconfigure usbd and restart it. Then make sure moused isn't running. Then your mouse should be there at /def/ums0.

I've had some interesting stuff happen with usb pointer devices recently too. I found that when I plug them in at runtime, they seem to get swept up by moused via the usb daemon, and wisked away to /dev/sysmouse. What really confused me was that I did not have moused enabled. It took quite a while to even realize that it was running. Naturally, when you want to hook up a mouse and a trackball (the trackball doesn't hurt my hand - I only use the mouse for fine pointer work, like playing NWN), this gets tricky to have them both pulled out from under you to a place you can't really get them without rebooting X. When I rebooted, I got pretty much the same thing you did - everything worked. What I finally did was find the device "Mouse" section in /etc/usbd.conf and comment it all out. This way, the pointers stay accessible at the ums* device, even when plugged in at runtime - the usb daemon leaves them alone for apps (like X) to access there.

If that alone works, then wonderful. If not, then the next part depends on what processor you have. If you can support MMX/SSE, the enable SSE in your kernel (off by default in 4.x I believe) and try again. When CS:S first came out, I had to do the SSE/compat8 thing to get it working on an Athlon XP box under 4.x, my Athlon XP box that was running 5.x had no problem once I install compat. For a long time, I couldn't run it on my test server (K6-2 350, no SSE possible), but sometime recently Valve must have fixed it to use old CPUs as well as it did work the last time I tried.

(by outside crackers) I don't know that one can assume cause and effect here. Many updates are not security-related. Of the security-related updates, not all are relevant in a given environment. And since most security updates move in the direction of greater restrictions on what programs can do, they are especially likely to break existing applications. > From our point of view over at the ISP it seems to us that the pain > of dealing with an app that breaks as a result of a security update > is less than dealing with the pain of cleaning up a server that is > broken into.

The solution here is to stop using Windows, if possible. Windows systems are extremely complex and cannot easily be "stripped" to eliminate unnecessary vulnerabilities. You can close the holes you know about, but you don't know what other holes exist until Microsoft or someone else tells you about them, or until you're broken into. And you may be obligated to patch holes in software that is completely useless to you, simply because there is no way to turn that software off. Windows is a good solution for IT departments that have virtually no qualified people on staff. They can just plug in the servers and run them, and they can just apply every update that comes out. They'll spend more on hardware and licensing than they would with an open-source solution like FreeBSD, and they'll never have a firm handle on exactly what their servers are doing internally, but at least it lowers personal costs and allows a company to get some sort of server capability in house without searching for expensive IT talent. Used as directed, and with regular updates, Windows is moderately safe. > I guess your attitude is safe enough if you regularly backup and you > don't have critical data like credit cards or patient data or > whatever that you don't want to have spread around. Yes. Confidential data like credit cards or medical records requires some fairly extraordinary precautions, anyway, ideally involving physical barriers to compromise (by distributing functions over different servers, etc.). Unfortunately a lot of small companies (and some large ones--cf. ChoicePoint) are exceedingly careless about how they handle this type of data, and with the prevalence of credit-card commerce, there's a lot of exposed information out there. > Frankly I find this rather silly.

You may have problems with telnetd on UNIX, but not on Windows, since Windows doesn't generally run telnetd.

You *may* have a mismatch in autonegotiation or manual speed/duplex parameters between dc0 and whatever it's plugged into. Make sure both sides are set to autonegotiate or, if they're set manually, that both use the same speed and duplex parameters. Personal preference, but I disable autonegotiation wherever I can.

Re: FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE as cvsupdated today won't build, OS crashes
Well, maybe it is an issue having a DELL Optiplex with a flat screen and keyboard and mouse plugged in the USB hub in TFT? Sometimes I watch mysterious log messages that some hub has been detached after a while. This is the last run I can do for now, hope plugging back mouse and keyboard to the onboard plugins will help - if not, there is another issue ... Oliver Donald J.

What are the outputs of the commands ``mount'' and ``df -h''? Are you sure that you are first unmounting the partition on disk 0 that is mounted at /var before you mount the new disk (1) at /var? Did you reboot at any point? Keep in mind that you will need to alter the file /etc/fstab to let the system know that it now needs to be mounting the single slice from the new disk at /var. Here is quick rundown on how you could achieve your goal: 1) Mount the new disk at at /mnt with something like: # mount /dev/ad1s1a /mnt 2) Copy everything from your original /var partition to the new one: # cd /var && tar cf - ./ | (cd /mnt && tar xvpf -) 3) Edit /etc/fstab from something like: /dev/ad0s1e /varufs defaults 1 2 to: /dev/ad1s1a /varufs defaults 1 2 4) Unmount old partition from /var and mount new one at /var: # umount /var && mount /var There may be an error or two in this, but it should serve to give the general idea. Also, you may want to reallocate the partition formerly mounted at /var for something else? Nathan pgpmwK9QVusPc.pgp Description: PGP signature

Today morning we started again, and since then (I built a kernel after an 11 am cvsupdate and build kernel), the machine is freezing after I tried to build world. Maybe this is due to kernel and userland are out of sync? I try building a world now again, hope this clears up things ... Ideally, world and kernel being out of sync shouldn't cause instability of this sort. Typically, it might result in tools such as ps, top, or maybe ipfw not working as desired, but not hangs. If you could confirm the last date you had a kernel that didn't have instability problems, we can try and track down what change it is between then and now that caused the problem to arise.

CVS-* lists
Hi, I maintain ~5 ports. Unlike most other "commit" mailing lists, in my opinion, we don't get the diffs in the e-mails. I was wondering if there was any way to get this for cvs-all since the maintainers have configured it off ? Obviously, I can use cvsweb/viewcvs but its not nearly as convient for glances.

Re: How can I cut and paste from xterm _into_ another program ? (NOTE - I am not an IDIOT)
Hmmm...so instead of actually reading my post, several folks have responded ... presumably just looking at the words "cut" and "paste" in my post and responding with a tutorial on how to use my mouse buttons. Thanks. So I'll start all over. I am running X on fbsd 5.3, with ratpoison as my window manager. I only run two apps - xterms (1 or 2 or 3 of them) and opera (my web browser). I can cut text in my xterms by simply highlighting it, and I can paste that text back into that xterm, or a different xterm by clicking my right mouse button. So yes, I know how to cut and paste thank you very much. I can also cut and paste in opera by selecting text and choosing edit->copy from the menu - I can then paste that text back into opera with edit->paste, or shift+insert, and FURTHER, I can paste that text into any of my xterms, with shift+insert OR with my right mouse button. THE PROBLEM IS, if I cut text in an xterm, I cannot paste it in opera. That is the only problem. So to recap, I know how to cut and paste - thanks. No need for the mouse button tutorials. All I want to know is, why can I not properly cut and paste from xterm TO opera, when I can already do it successfully gtom opera TO xterm ? Thanks. Hopefully anyone responding will actually read the post this time. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
