I agree likely a cache issue. I just checked the main site and it is
in sync with the mirror I use (both show  5.4 and 4.11). You might try
reloading the main page from your browser--depending on the browser you
use you may have to hold a key down when you reload/refresh to
actually reload the page from the net rather than the cache.

I may be going out on a limb here speaking about things of which I know
little, but I would say that the situation you describe would be highly
unlikely because I suspect that the mirror pages are direct copies of
the main site, not individually updated pages (i.e only the main site is
actually edited then it is copied over to the mirrors--hence virtually
impossible for the mirrors to be more up to date than the main site.

And some of the rl cards (the older ones from my experience) have the
nasty habit of blocking themselves after some time. I have a cron job
the ifconfigs down and up each 4 hours to resolve that.

Yes I did (in a previous install that I did not deinstall).

But anyway I found it: the directive ServerRoot in apache conf file
taht is a bit more than the place where to find the log and conf
file. It is also where to find the modules...

You must have a faulty web cache or something between you and the

(5.4 was there about an hour or two after it was out last week).

Hu?

I only access the main site and it reads on the right:

Production Release: 5.4
· Installation Guide
· Release Notes
· Hardware Notes
· Installation Notes
· Errata
· Migration Guide

Production (Legacy) Release: 4.11

If you follow this thread, it would be quite easy. Anyway, it is my pleasure to 
do a summary here. But I don't know how to put the diff result into a more 
readable format (like the old line is prefixed with a "-", and the newline is 
prefixed with a "+") than this: 

gso_dev_2# diff configure.org configure

It is quite unreadable. Actually, all I have done to this file is: 
sed -i -e "s/-lang-c89/-std=c89/g" configure

If you can tell me how to do it in a "-", "+" format, I will post a complete 
revision to the list.

Hi,
you should definitely take a look into the official Samba-3 HOWTO.
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
there is a separate part about migration and updating.
you should also read about the "Account Information Databases" in 
part-III/chapter 10, as this is importand to reuse your old smbpasswd or

RE: 3C905B-TX problems on fresh install

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

The RealTek 8139 is also an iffy card, but not in the same way
the 3c905 is.  With the 3c905 you have a lot of timing/driver
issues to where you get different results depending on what
motherboard your using it in.  With the Realtek, they always work
from that standpoint, the problem is that sometimes their autodetection
goes haywire and you have to hard-code them to a specific speed
and duplex in your ifconfig statement.  They also don't have an
optimal register setup and so consume more CPU to get data in and out
of the card.  You wouldn't use one in a FreeBSD router, but other
than that, they are fine under FreeBSD.  I use about 3 or 4 of them
myself.

Realtek also has developers who actually run FreeBSD themselves
and have contributed code to the rl driver in FreeBSD, which is a 360
degrees shift from 3com's "I never heard of FreeBSD and I don't want
to know about it" attitude.

As for Samba... I think there was one (maybe two) options in smb.conf

I only have samba on 2 very small networks, but other than the smb.conf

Main web site out of date

[Patrikios]

I say, is there a good reason why the main FreeBSD web site
(www.freebsd.org) is always out of date by comparison with
the mirrors?  Anyone relying on your main site will still
not know about the availability of 4.11 or 5.4.

Kind regards,

illegal user root user failed login attempts

[Peter Kropholler]

This link might help:
http://seclists.org/lists/incidents/2005/Feb/0004.html
Karol,
Thanks for this pointer.
There are two really important pieces of advice on that web page
which persuade me to ditch any thoughts of trying to determine
what passwords people are using with their illegal login scams:
1. it's probably illegal
2. it potentially gives hackers an excuse: someone else knew their  
password?!

As things stand, ssh is designed so you can't get at people's passwords
and I am leaving it alone. Focussing instead on the task of making
sure my passwords are strong, limiting AllowUsers to specific users and
trusted ip addresses, and moving ssh off port 22.
Other advice I received was to consider logging ip addresses and
sending complaints to the relevant authorities: however I doubt that
there is very much point in doing so since my guess is that most
scams come from hacked machines anyway. Basically you never see
the same ip address twice.
many thanks
Peter K

RE: Upgrading from Samba 2 to Samba 3

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

It's great if you like your server applications to be twice as
complicated
as before.  Seriously, though, you can turn off all the fru-fru and
set it up pretty much equivalent to a samba 2 server.  The fru-fru is
needed if you have a lot of XP stuff and you want to interoperate with a
Microsoft AD.

RE: 3C905B-TX problems on fresh install

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Hi Dana,

  Unfortunately, the 3com 3C905b card is a rather so-so network card
from a hardware point of view, and the xl driver that drives it, has
had lots of fixes applied, but the driver still isn't the best driver.

  I happen to have a server right now using one of those cards and it's
rock solid.  BUT, the network card in it just happened to come out of
an IBM Aptiva running Windows 98 where it gave huge amounts of trouble -
I only put it in the BSD box to see what would happen.   After I pulled
that card out of the Aptiva I put in a cheapo Realtek and the Aptiva
has been running Win 98 solid ever since.

  In the past we used these cards under Windows - then when
those Windows boxes got too old and we started converting them to
FreeBSD and Linux, we started having lots of problems similar to what
you are seeing. Some machines would work fine, others not.  At one point
I had 3 of the cards out, all different board revisions but exact same
model number, and one of the cards would work in any box under any OS,
one of the cards would only work in some boxes but not others, and the
last card wouldn't work in anything under either Linux or FreeBSD, it
would only work under Windows.

Yeah, you hit the point again! 

Just found the variable noofcomms (= COUNTOF(command_list)) is used in the 
function qsort() 
-
qsort(&(command_list),noofcomms,sizeof command_list[0],&command_cmp);
-

No wonder trailing NULL element at the end of the array command_list[] is used 
in qsort(), and the segmentation fault.

Since the number of actual non-NULL elements in the array is one less than the 
array's size, I changed the calculation of noofcomms as: 
-
noofcomms = COUNTOF(command_list) - 1;
-

Now the program can work properly. :)

named & ntpd quirkyness

[Gabriel O'Brien]

Hi folks,
I've a FreeBSD 5.4 system here that is running an ipfw firewall, ntpd, 
BIND, etc. and I'm having a strange little problem whenever I reboot my 
system.  This system is a gateway multihomed with 4 interfaces and 
connected to the internet via plain old PPPoE/ADSL.  For the most part 
everything seems to be working like a charm however whenever I reboot 
the server I have two issues:

1) named doesn't seem to be able to bind to the tun0 interface properly, 
I've got a few theories about this but none of them have gotten me 
anywhere!  At first I thought it was my firewall rules, but after 
playing around with it, including building a firewall with "options 
IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT" and turning off all the rules I'm starting 
to think that wasn't it.  I've wondered if it can't connect becasue that 
interface doesn't exist yet (since it's PPPoE), but I'm not sure about 
that either.

At any rate the symptom is that named is listening and accepting queries 
on all of the interfaces including loopback, except the tun0 interface. 
 There's currently nothing in the logs to suggest anything awry, though 
for a while I was getting these errors:

May  9 21:03:48 sol named[284]: creating IPv4 interface tun0 failed; 
interface ignored

I can't figure out what I might have done to stop those errors from 
appearing but they don't anymore.

2) ntpd doesn't connect properly to it's servers via the tun0 interface 
though this symptom is much more intermittent and I don't have any hard 
evidence other than my own two eyes to actually prove it ever happened. 
 As of right now it's working fine.

I've been trying to sort out this problem on and off for about a month 
of so on both 5.3 and 5.4 and haven't had a whole lot of luck.  I'm 
wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can look to sort 
this out.  I have a doable workaround, essentially I just log in after a 
reboot and restart named and then everything is fine, but it's a bit of 
a hassle and if I forget eventually my server will stop resolving (when 
the zone expires in various caches out there)... this is how I 
discovered it the first time.  I can post some more info on my setup if 
anyone thinks it will help, but I won't clutter up inboxes with loads of 
config files unless it's necessary.

Thanks in advance for any help!

3C905B-TX problems on fresh install

[Dana Baguley]

Hi, I'm a FreeBSD Newbie. I've had some experience with Linux,
particularly Gentoo. I'm running a computer that I've installed
FreeBSD on behind a router that's connected to my DSL modem. The
router provides DHCP for all the 3 computers on my home network.
Everything works fine with the other computers and everything worked
fine on this computer when I was running Gentoo on it. My NIC is a
3Com 3C905B-TX. My motherboard is a EPOX EP-3VBA. When I installed
FreeBSD I wanted to use FTP, but the DHCP step didn't work so I
installed from CD. Now whenever I boot up I get the error message
"xl0: watchdog timeout" repeatedly when dhclient starts up, when sshd
comes up, and occasionally after boot at seemingly random times. I've
noticed when I get this error that my link light goes off for a little
over a second. I can only ping the localhost. Also I get an error with
the date, time, name of my computer, and "inetd[435]: ssh/tcp: bind:
Address already in use" every ten minutes. netstat -rn shows 10.0.0.1
(the router) as the default gateway and 127.0.0.1 as the gateway for
10.0.0.100, the address assigned by the router. The correct MAC
address for the router shows up as the gateway for 10.0.0.1.  The
computer shows up on the router's DHCP clients table. ifconfig -a
gives me

xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=9
inet6 fe80::210:5aff:fe09:f53e%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 10.0.0.100 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255

inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3

I don't know what to do to get networking working on this computer.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

The rest of the code in command.c makes use of the command_count value
and assumes that all the array elements are fully populated.  The qsort
routime tried to compare a NULL comm_name value and seg faulted.  His
fix would have worked if the rest of the program used the same code
loop as the one at command.c:1149, but it doesn't.

The author may not have tested it on many systems, and since the source
is so old (relatively speaking), standards have changed.  It's no
longer acceptable to provide your own prototypes for system functions,
for example (which was the cause of your first few compile errors).

Apache libraries/modules

[Olivier Nicole]

Hi,

I am running Apache/moddssl/php a 5.3 RELENG server. I build the
distribution by hand from the source: everything installed in
/usr/local/apache

For simplicity/compatibility/upgradability, I want to switch to the
ports. But when I try to run the new apache, it always looks for the
modules in /usr/local/apache/libexec/apache instead of the expected
/usr/local/libexec/apache

I build apache13-modssl with:

# nice make WITH_APACHE_SUEXEC=yes APACHE_SUEXEC_CALLER=httpd 
APACHE_SUEXEC_DOCROOT=/usr/local/apache/sites APACHE_SUEXEC_UIDMIN=80 
APACHE_SUEXEC_GIDMIN=30 PREFIX=/usr/local PORTDIR=/usr/local

No problem so far, then I try to:

# work/apache_1.3.33/src/httpd -t -DSSL
Syntax error on line 38 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/apache/mod_mmap_static.so into server: 
Cannot open "/usr/local/apache/libexec/apache/mod_mmap_static.so"
# ls /usr/local/libexec/apache
httpd.exp   mod_cgi.so  mod_mime_magic.so
libphp4.so  mod_define.so   mod_mmap_static.so
libproxy.so mod_digest.so   mod_negotiation.so
[...]

I beleive it is something with the order of the libraries but I don't
know where to go from here.

TIA

Thank you, Dan. Your fix works!

Still, I wonder why the fix of Giorgos doesn't work, because it seems quite 
right to me, too.

(Btw, I can't understand why this software has so many bugs to be fixed before 
it can be compiled and run successfully. The developers don't check their 
product before shipping out? I have compiled and installed quite a number of 
GNU softwares, never saw such a buggy one. Yet, I am a go game lover, and want 
to set up a local NNGS server. And this is the only available open source go

Thank you, Giorgos. You hit the cause I didn't see. 

But after compile, there is a new segmentation fault, here is the GDB trace:

It's usually caused by an incorrect pointer, or a stack overflow, where
the program tries to read a memory address not available to it.  In
fact, I can see the problem right away.  command_list is a
statically-initilized array (defined at command_list.h:55).  Note that
there is no special "end-of-list" value at the end of the array.  The
loop at command.c:1149 loops until command_list[i].comm_name is NULL,
but since there's no explicit NULL entry at the end, the loop falls off
the end of the array, where it eventually hits an unmapped page of
memory and gets a bus error.

That for loop should really read:

correct instructions for building a 4.11 debugging kernel?

[Dan Langille]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to capture a dump from my 4.11 fatal trap 12.  Reading 
this URL:

   

I'm finding that I'm not getting the expected results.  In 
particular, I'm not getting the kernel I promised by the docs:

  The make(1) process will have built two kernels. kernel and
  kernel.debug.

I have no kernel.debug despite having done this:

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
config -g BAST
cd ../../compile/BAST
make depend && make && make install

I know I have a new kernel:

A bug in the program.  The relevant code seems to be this part of
nngs-1.1.14/nrat/command.c:

   1131 void commands_init()
   1132 {
   1133   FILE *fp, *afp;
   1134   int i = 0;
   1135
   1136   fp = xyfopen(FILENAME_CMDS, "w");
   1137   if (!fp) {
   1138 return;
   1139   }
   1140   afp = xyfopen(FILENAME_ACMDS, "w");
   1141   if (!afp) {
   1142 fclose(fp);
   1143 return;
   1144   }
   1145   for (i = 0; command_list[i].comm_name; i++) {
   1146 if (command_list[i].adminLevel >= ADMIN_ADMIN) {
   1147   fprintf(afp, "%s\n", command_list[i].comm_name);
   1148 } else {
   1149   fprintf(fp, "%s\n", command_list[i].comm_name);
   1150 }
   1151   }
   1152   fclose(fp);
   1153   fclose(afp);
   1154 }

If we put for a while the horrible style aside, the bug seems to be that
the for loop doesn't properly check the bounds of the command_list[]
array.  This would probably be ok if the command_list array was declared
to have a trailing element set to an "all zeroes" value:

struct command_type command_list[] = {
  {"accept","n",com_accept, ADMIN_USER },
  {"actitle",   "dS",   com_actitle,ADMIN_ADMIN },
  {0,   0,  0,  0 },
};

but it's not (look in nngs-1.1.14/nrat/command_list.h):

 /* NameOptions Functions   Security */
struct command_type command_list[] = {
  {"accept","n",com_accept, ADMIN_USER },
  {"actitle",   "dS",   com_actitle,ADMIN_ADMIN },
  [...]
  /* by Syncanph */
  {"shownote",  "", com_shownote,   ADMIN_USER },
};

and this is *EXACTLY* where this particular bug lies.

> Any hints to overcome this last barrier?

Yes.  Don't run software that is full of bugs, unless you're keen on
fixing those bugs :-(

The nngs.sourceforge.net web page shows *no* release of nngs after 2002.
The history of that project shows that the ones developing it would
release very often; some times twice within the same week.  The fact
that there has been absolutely no release for more than 3 years means
that nngs is, for all purposes, thoroughly dead.

Are you running both sasl AND sasl2 ports at the same time?
sasldblistusers2 is from sasl2 and saslpasswd is from sasl.
If that was just a typo, check permissions on /usr/local/etc/sasldb
(or /usr/local/etc/sasldb2) and make sure it allows reading by the
user running your pop/imap/mta.

Cyrus IMAP from Ports in 5.X?

[Francisco Reyes]

Anyone got Cyrus IMAP working from installing the ports?
After 3 days trying.. I am leaning towards possible problems with the 
ports options. For example upon installation the cyrus-sasl-2.1.20_1 port 
there are errors in /var/log/auth.log

May 16 23:47:39 testpompa saslpasswd2: setpass succeeded for cyrus

The "Couldn't update db" seems like a common problem when installing 
Cyrus, yet I could not find a single reference on how to fix the 
problem.

Ran the mkimap without any problems. Both the impad and sasl programs are 
running and no errors reported at startup for either of them.

Moreover, I tried using a different Berkeley DB with cyrus-sasl and after 
that got different errors, so I am wondering if the default options in the 
port may be wrong.

Thank you again. It can roll forward when the declaration of the "random" 
function function is removed. It seems 1.1.16 version is full of bugs, like 
stated above. The 1.1.14 version is much better in compiling. 

However, both versions give me an error when I run the compiled application

Ignorance prevails in this posting. I love derogatory references to
software vendors. Never-the-less, DHCP has nothing to do with port
redirection commonly, and I highly doubt it has anything to do with
this one.

Try opening your Linksys/Dlink/etc. SoHo router via HTTP in your
favorite browser, and forwarding port 22 or whatever your SSH port of
choice is, to your FreeBSD box.

I imagine your setup is something like this.

Internet -> Router -> LAN (Windows, FreeBSD, etc.)

You have to forward the port from the Internet, through your router,
and into a local box on your LAN. You could also edit the DMZ setting
on your router so that the FreeBSD box, or perhaps any other box on
your LAN receives all ports automatically.

Lastly:
> How can I tell?
See that blue/grey box connected to your modem? Your ISP will tell you
the exact same thing. It's a configuration issue on your end, since
you're using a router.

I'd suggest some RTFM'ing.

Yes.  It can even happen in single user.   So far I have only had the

with DLTs.

i agree, if you are used to using jails, this is, in general, an easy

 ( This would be a question for ports@ )

Ports do not conflict if having different PREFIX. You don't need (and
don't want) to play with DISTNAME.

You will want to pay attention to LOCALBASE also, for dependencies
checking (PREFIX is where the ports installs, LOCALBASE is where it
checks for dependencies; see Porters Handbook and bsd.ports.mk. for
details).

Multiple Apaches

[David Marshall]

Hi all,

My boss has finally seen the light, and we're migrating from a
cobbled-together Linux box to FreeBSD very soon.  In the four months
I've been working for him, I have spent more time fiddling with our
Linux servers than I spent in 4 years running FreeBSD on a number of
servers.

On one of my old FreeBSD servers, I wanted a regular Apache
installation, so I had /usr/ports/www/apache13 installed.  At the same
time, I maintained a specially-configured Apache installation in
/usr/local2 that was, among other things, statically linked with
mod_perl.

On the new box that we're putting together soon, we'll need to have
apache2 going, so that's obviously something to install/maintain via
ports.  At the same time, we're going to need a couple of statically
linked apache13 installations.

Should I plan on repeating the what I did before, which is to maintain
an apache installation separate from ports?  Or is there some clever
way to have ports install stuff in different places under different
names?  For instance, I'd like to have www/apache2 installed in the
default location and install www/apache13-modperl with some PREFIX,
telling it to disregard any CONFLICTS?  Can I give a ports
installation a different DISTNAME so that it's in the package database
under some other name?

TIA!

No, you may be able to resize it though. You are allowed 4 primary partions, 
one of which may be an extended partition.  FreeBSD install on a single 
primary partion and places all it's native partions inside it without it 
counting as the one extended partition.

No, but ext3 is compatible with ext2 provided that fsck understands ext3 
journals, which I believe is the case with FreeBSD.

Since you'll be using it as ext2 (probably with synchronous writes) writing 
may be slow under FreeBSD.

Try disabling the firewall(s). If it works without them, it's a firewall

Try http://freshmeat.net/browse/76/. One of the things you could look

The program is called growisofs, but it's packaged as dvd+rw-tools (in

I think he meant define a shell variable called WITH_CUPS, with any
value, before doing the 'make'.  This is easily done as "export
WITH_CUPS=1".

I tried this, and am no nearer a solution. CUPS seems like a confusing
morass to me; I would much prefer the ghostscript command that I can put
into a filter and then call from /etc/printcap

However, I since tried the command  'escputil -i -u -r /dev/ulpt0'
My printer makes a few noises, and them times out, so I think I will try
a parallel cable instead of the USB connection - unfortunately I think I
have to go and buy one.

RE: 5.4 install disc1 will not find hard drive

Subject: RE: 5.4 install disc1 will not find hard drive
To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ORG" 
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="iso-8859-1"

I have been using the same workbench PC to test the building of the
install cdrom from disc1.iso and miniinst.iso since version 3.0
through 5.3 without any problems. The 5.3 miniinst and disc1 work as
expected. 5.4 does not have an miniinst.iso so used disc1. When 5.4
disc1 install cdrom is used, sysinstall(standerd) option gives error
msg (No hard disk found). Then using the 5.3 disc1 cdrom install
proceeds as expected. I can also run ms/dos fdisk & format on the HD
without any problems. The hard drive is an western digital 310100
10GB 33 udma on ata0 as master with the slave unused. Normally
cabled with 80 pin cable. Have tried with 40 pin cable and get same
error message. Even tried 5.4 install cdrom against my production
server/gateway box which is running 4.10 on a western digital 24300
4GB 33 udma and get the (No hard disk found) msg again. Them tried
the 5.3 cd and it found the hard drive on the production box.
Then I used an western digital 102AA 10GB 66 udma HD and 5.4 found
the HD and installed just fine.
Looks like udma 33 support is not working in 5.4
Anybody have 5.4 installed on a udma 33 HD from a install cdrom?
Yes, on an old laptop:
atapci0:  port [...etc.]
ata0: channel #0 on atapci0
ata1: channel #1 on atapci0
[...]
ad0: 6194MB  [13424/15/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
Works fine.
I'd guess the ATA controller chipset is more important than the drive 
model in diagnosing this.  There has been some discussion of possible 
(not confirmed) ATA controller problems on freebsd-stable recently, 
although they seem to be saying it started in 5.3 RELEASE.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the info :)

I've never used it, but the standard answer seems to be SANE:

/usr/ports/graphics/xsane
/usr/ports/graphics/sane-frontends

I use dvd+rw-tools (which is not limited to dvd+rw devices, that's just 
how it started life):

/usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools

- I've installed this tool. Which binary in particular should I use (e.g. to

dvd+rw-booktype   dvd+rw-mediainfo  dvdbackup
dvd+rw-format dvd-ram-control   dvdnav-config



The summary is, edit /boot/loader.conf to add the line "kldload 
snd_driver", then reboot.  That loads most of the sound card drivers, so 
it will probably get it working, although not in the most efficient 
manner.  I'm assuming you are using FreeBSD 5.x, under 4.x the answer 
may be different.

- Yep, this seems to have done the trick. At least a VIA driver is loading,
now I'll test out gnome.


It's best to post one question per message, with a descriptive subject

ssh to new ip...

[Bagus]

Hi,

I'm moving my new freebsd 5.3 box to a new static ip address and I'm worried
that once I put it at the isp, I won't be able to ssh to it or anything.

Right now it's still at home and has dhcp. I'm not able to ssh from my
windoze box over to it thru my router. I'm getting a connection refused
error. Trying to ssh from another box on the net isn't successful either.
The operation times out.

I am able to ssh to that address from the box itself tho. Is this a firewall
issue or maybe more of a thing with my dhcp provider?

How can I tell?

Thanks,

Bagus

The "driver" is part of the X server, not part of the FreeBSD kernel
(if you forget about 3D accelleration). 

I would generally advise to avoid binary only drivers, because if you
upgrade your system and the driver stops working you're screwed. Instead
buy from people who give out enough specs to let the Xorg hackers write
open source drivers.

Study your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and read the manual page: 'man xorg.conf'.

If you want more specific advice, post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and
the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Re: scanner software, dvd software, Gnome sound problem (was:Newbie Questions)

[Bob Johnson]

Message: 37

From: Joseph Borg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Newbie Questions
To: 
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="us-ascii"
Hi,
I've got a couple of questions I was hoping someone could help me with:
- I've got an (extremely old) HP Scanjet 4c Scanner hooked up via an Adaptec
SCSI card to my system. Freebsd seems to recognize this scanner at boot: 
May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0
May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0:  Fixed Processor
SCSI-2 device
May 17 20:48:36 cronus kernel: pass0: 3.300MB/s transfers
Would you know of any software (preferably under gnome/X that I can use to
operate this scanner)?

I've never used it, but the standard answer seems to be SANE:
/usr/ports/graphics/xsane
/usr/ports/graphics/sane-frontends
- Secondly, I've also got a NEC IDE DVD-RW drive hooked up which the system
recognizes fine. What software can I use to burn DVDs? All I'm looking for
is some software (preferably also under X/gnome) that would allow me to make
backup DVD's of files I have on the drive (i.e. Data DVDs).
I use dvd+rw-tools (which is not limited to dvd+rw devices, that's just 
how it started life):

/usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools
- Finally, I've just installed gnome and when it starts up, I get the
following error: No volume control elements and/or devices found. The A8V
Motherboard on which the system is installed has an inbuilt 8.0 sound card.
Is there any way I can test this is working under Freebsd. Provided this is
the case, how can I eliminate the error in gnome?
First make sure your sound is working.  By default, no sound drivers are 
loaded.  See 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

The summary is, edit /boot/loader.conf to add the line "kldload 
snd_driver", then reboot.  That loads most of the sound card drivers, so 
it will probably get it working, although not in the most efficient 
manner.  I'm assuming you are using FreeBSD 5.x, under 4.x the answer 
may be different.


Thanks for all your help.
Joe

It's best to post one question per message, with a descriptive subject 
line.  Someone who knows the answer is more likely to notice it that way.

Good luck.
- Bob

The 'xsane' port works fine. Also needs the 'sane-backends' port.

For dvds: 'growisofs' (port), for CD's burncd (part of the distribution)
or 'cdrecord' (port). These are command-line programs. cdrecord requires
the use of following devices in the kernel: 'atapicam', 'scbus' 'cd' and
'pass'. More info on my FreeBSD page:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/

There are several GUIs for cdrecord, e.g. k3b (KDE) and gcombust
(GTK). Nautilus can also burn CDs with the nautilus-cd-burner port. Try
searching freshmeat.net.

If you issue the 'mixer' command in a terminal, what kind of output do
you get? It should look something like:

$ mixer
Mixer vol  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer pcm  is currently set to  58:58
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer line is currently set to  75:75
Mixer mic  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd   is currently set to  75:75
Mixer rec  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer ogainis currently set to  50:50
Mixer line1is currently set to  75:75
Mixer phin is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phoutis currently set to   0:0
Recording source: mic

If not, there are several things that could be wrong, and it depends on
the error you get. Check that you have sufficient permissions on
/dev/mixer (should be crw-rw-rw-)

HTH, Roland

Can't answer your first couple of questions, but I know from solving 
this for myself over the weekend that this one should just require 
getting the correct kernel module loaded for your sound card. See

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html
For me, it was as simple as running the sound driver meta loader
kldload snd_driver
to see if my card would fly at all, and then looking at dmesg to see 
that the meta loader was finding device pcm0 and from there figuring 
out which sound module I needed to load from /boot/loader.conf with

my_modname_load="YES" (can't remember the actual module name I used)
Then boot, and Gnome starts up happy (just like me every time I boot 
FreeBSD ;-).

RE: 5.4 install disc1 will not find hard drive

[fbsd_user]

I have been using the same workbench PC to test the building of the
install cdrom from disc1.iso and miniinst.iso since version 3.0
through 5.3 without any problems. The 5.3 miniinst and disc1 work as
expected. 5.4 does not have an miniinst.iso so used disc1. When 5.4
disc1 install cdrom is used, sysinstall(standerd) option gives error
msg (No hard disk found). Then using the 5.3 disc1 cdrom install
proceeds as expected. I can also run ms/dos fdisk & format on the HD
without any problems. The hard drive is an western digital 310100
10GB 33 udma on ata0 as master with the slave unused. Normally
cabled with 80 pin cable. Have tried with 40 pin cable and get same
error message. Even tried 5.4 install cdrom against my production
server/gateway box which is running 4.10 on a western digital 24300
4GB 33 udma and get the (No hard disk found) msg again. Them tried
the 5.3 cd and it found the hard drive on the production box.

Then I used an western digital 102AA 10GB 66 udma HD and 5.4 found
the HD and installed just fine.

Looks like udma 33 support is not working in 5.4

Anybody have 5.4 installed on a udma 33 HD from a install cdrom?

Even the VESA driver works at this resolution with the GEFORCE 440 card
- I am not saying the performance is spectacular, but it works fine for
me.

Thanks Rod and Mike,
The NV driver works just fine in the Xorg conf. Had missed it the first time
round.

Chuck, the hub *** died *** out of the blue (short circuit? I dunno) and I had

portaudit is being stubborn

[Tony Shadwick]

This is driving me nuts.  I just downloaded the latest portaudit database 
and ran it on my system:

mx02# portaudit -ad
Database created: Tue May 17 13:40:02 CDT 2005
Affected package: wget-1.8.2_7
Type of problem: wget -- multiple vulnerabilities.
Reference: 


1 problem(s) in your installed packages found.
You are advised to update or deinstall the affected package(s) 
immediately.

Okayso, that vulnerability isn't of much concern to me, but just to be 
sure I'm current:

mx02# portversion ftp/wget
wget=
So life is good there, so I got back and add this to my 
/usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf file:

# Make portaudit ignore wget vulnerability (no shell users here anyway)
portaudit_fixed="06f142ff-4df3-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82"
I then re-ran portauditit gives me the same output. :(  I want to have 
this cron'ed where I only get ouput when something that actually concerns 
me comes up.  Is the portaudit_fixed variable no longer supported?

PR kern/78968 MBuf cluster exhaustion. RFC (solutions)

[Ernest Smallis]

Hi All,

I am seeing this problem as well:

a. The kernel is in a tight loop via the fxp driver since there are
frames that need to be DMA'd but cannot be because 'b.'

b. The fxp driver calls m_getcl( ) which returns ENOBUFS since
there are no clusters to satisfy the request.  This goes on
constantly so it appears the system is hung.

I submitted a follow-up to the PR and also requested contact with a
committer to discuss this problem and possible solutions.

I think this should be fixed, right away.

If you would like to donate your 2 cents worth to this discussion; I would
be very happy to hear from you and am grateful for the input.

Ernie ;-)

It's a port, but it installs a prebuilt binary.  
[Which is the same one as when the port was added, back in '98.]

You will need a.out support in the kernel, which can be installed with
a module, and probably some compatibility libraries.

Good luck.

By the way, Fafa, (currently) your best bet is to go with binary
driver from http://www.opensound.com/ . It's free for personal use. I
have myself an Audigy LS, I'll see what I can do with it later.

If all you're concerned with is the mailscanner, it doesn't matter at all 
what you select here. Just accept the defaults.

However, if all you're concerned with is the mailscanner, why are you

Do you get an error message back when you try to post? I understand that

It also doesn't look like the emu10kx driver supports them either. From

J2SE 5.0

[Vizion]

Hi

I want to install J2SE 5.0 or equivalent on FreeBSD 5.3. I have gone through 
the distfiles and cannot see anything which indicates there is a freebsd port 
available or information about incorporation of latest sun upgrades. 

Does anyone know what is the best way to go about this. Will the sun downlaod 
install OK on FreeBSD 5.3.

What is the best source of information about java on freebsd.

Thanks in advance

It's a bit late butif you are going to be using this box a
mailscanner I would not suggest running KDE or X windows at all on
this box.  It will wate resources at best and open up more security
issues that you will have to track in the long run.  Most people
prefer just install the base system along with the specific software
for the task at hand for most servers (in your case which ever mail
filtering software you will be using).  The joy of unix is being able
to admin. boxen remotely via ssh very easily, so there is really no
need for a full blow gui on a server.

for more info on setting up a mail scanner under FreeBSD I would read
the online documentation carefully.  I will really help you out in the
long run:

Dual Boot question

[Paul Schmehl]

I have a new machine with two drives.  The primary drive came with Windows 
XP installed, so I installed FreeBSD (5.4. RELEASE) on the slave.  I want 
to dual boot using the Windows boot manager.

I found instructions in the faq:

But it's not working.
When I select FreeBSD, the box boots to a prompt, flashing F1 and goes no 
further, periodically beeping.

I ran fdisk to make sure that ad5s1 was flagged as bootable and installed 
the FreeBSD boot manager.  Then I copied /boot/boot0 to the Windows disk on 
C:\ and named it BOOTSEC.BSD and edited the boot.ini file per the 
instructions in the faq.

What did I miss?

Video Driver

[Adam Stern]

I'm kind of new to freebsd.  I'm using Gnome, and the resolution doesn't
go above 600x800.  I assume that is because it doesn't have the exact
driver for my video card.  I have an Intel motherboard, and when I
looked it up on Intel's site, they didn't have any FreeBSD drivers for
my motherboard, only RedHat and SuSE.  Is there something I can do to
got my resolution to increase?

 

Thanks.

You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling libtool15.
cd /usr/ports/devel/libtool15; make deinstall; make reinstall
Also make sure libtool13 isn't there (it should be redundant by now, I

51 0xc299 18000sound.ko
OK, some ideas
1) for several reasons, leave it as a module,  If this isn's crazy 
enough for you, some softrware actually goes looking for the module, and 
assumes no one in their right mind would compile in sound support (truth!)

2) if you have two PCs, like me, using a keyboard A/B swtich, the kind 
with 3 switched RCA jacks (you can buy such at Radio Shack cheaply) 
works particularly well for the Audigy, because you use the connection 
that was intended for your video can be instead used for the Audigy's 
digital port (it's the very bottom connection, the one furthest from the 
 plane created by the motherboard), so that lets you switch both analog 
audio *AND* digital audio with a single button-push.


Works like a charm. It used to be that I needed to compile the emu10kx 
drivers.

Maybe if you included some more information, it would prove to be more 
useful. What is your dmesg saying when you boot up now? What did it say 
before? What happens with a kldload snd_emu10k1, followed by a kldstat

Not sure about GimpShop, although gimp is available in the ports
collection.  Check out /usr/ports/graphics/gimp.  You should be able
to tweak what parts of the package you want installed by looking at
the Makefile.  I personally would keep TIFF support, it is a decent
image format for high resolution images and is quite portable accross
platforms.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm using mine just fine...
I didn't include mine in the kernel yet, I just tested with a kldload, 
in 5.4:

kldload snd_emu10k1
from /var/log/messages:
May 16 18:31:34 bsdmoose kernel: pcm0:  port 
0xa000-0xa01f irq 18 at device 13.0 on pci0
May 16 18:31:34 bsdmoose kernel: pcm0: 

bsdmoose# kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
19 0xc040 5dde24   kernel
2   14 0xc09de000 56270acpi.ko
31 0xc1e67000 17000linux.ko
41 0xc298a000 6000 snd_emu10k1.ko
51 0xc299 18000sound.ko
Works like a charm. It used to be that I needed to compile the emu10kx 
drivers.

Maybe if you included some more information, it would prove to be more 
useful. What is your dmesg saying when you boot up now? What did it say 
before? What happens with a kldload snd_emu10k1, followed by a kldstat 
(if it gave no error)?

HTH,
Matt
