Thanks for the replies everyone and sorry for the slow reply.
I'm running 5.3 , and realised i had to run newfs and mount etc to get
it going. I was getting confused thinking that it wouldn't add
the mount to /etc/fstab , and if i put it in there myself.

Apart from adding the vinum_enable etc, will i need to add the info
to /etc/fstab referring to the name i gave it in vinum.. I'm starting to get
it alot more after reading the man page a few times, and Greg Lehey's info
in the Complete FreeBSD, and was happy to get it running.

I don't recall if the default kernel has it compiled in, most likely not. 
You can check the generic kernel configuration file.

When was it enabled by default?..

In case you still have trouble, check out this option,
too:

option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD_EXTENDED

But don't enable it "just in case", it unfastens some

Multilanguange

[Owen Jeremiah]

I want to use X with FreeBSD like I use my WinXP: it has multilanguage
capabilities. Like when I want to create a presentation, I can type in other
language (like in chinese) and instantly change it back to english. I
understand that MacOS X can do this instantly too.

Can anybody direct me to the right way to do this in FreeBSD (using KDE?
Gnome?)

Hi all, I really need your help on this if you can...

I am trying to put set up port forwarding on my machine. So far the usual

I also have this line in dmesg:

Re: Logging Program Action

[Norberto Meijome]

Gerard Seibert wrote:

I am using FreeBSD 5.4. Presently, I am using DADA Mail, a mass mailing
program similar to MailMan. The program runs fine under FreeBSD, with
one exception.

When the program "POPs" a message from the mailbox set up for it, it
fails to delete the message. This leads to the message being resent
endlessly unless I remove it manually. The programs' author, Justine
Simoni, has been unable to correct this problem.

For the record, I am using QPOPPER, the latest version. If I access this
mailbox with my usual MUA, the message is downloaded and deleted
normally.

What I am looking for is a program that can log everything that the DADA
module is doing when it runs. Specifically, when the module that
accesses the mailbox runs, if possible. Perhaps I could then find out
what the problem is. DADA is written in PERL.




Hi Gerard,
why not use ethereal to snoop the POP3 / IMAP traffic (not sure which 
one you are actually using..it sounds like POP) - get a trace for both 
products and compare. I have a feeling that DADA doens't issue the DEL 
command after downloading the email. Or maybe it doens't close the 
finalise the pop3 session properly and the server leaves the mail behind 
(though I'm not even sure that is the expected behaviour).


then, once you know what the difference is, add the correct calls to 
DADA's code.


Best,

What's changed re: ACPI for 6.0??

[Kevin Kinsey]

Hi list 

I don't ask too many questions, but after scratching my head a
bit, trawling through Google, some of the mailing list archives,
/usr/src/UPDATING, and most of the contents of /sys/i386/conf,
I'm still not sure what's up; however, I've ascertained that PEBKAC
instead of the kernel code, which ought to be good news to those
concerned with R.E.  (had one "aha!" moment prior to hitting SEND
on that e-mail)

I just updated from 5.4 -> 6.0BETA5 about a week and a half ago.

On 5.4, ACPI and "shutdown -p" Just Worked.  On 6.0, it didn't:

link_elf: symbol ioapic_enable_mixed_mode undefined
KLD file acpi.ko - could not finalize loading

However, a hour ago or so, I figured "what the heck, let's just put
`device acpi` back into the kernel.  Make, Make installkernel, and
all's peachy.  :-)

So, what did I miss?  I'd like to think that it was just that the 
documentation

wasn't up to date with the code, but more likely it's just that my brain
isn't working properly.

If I could beg enlightenment for my sanity and also for future reference,
what's changed/what did I miss?

Donning my asbestos leotards,

This is what I did... hopefully I'm not forgetting anything...  my box has

dialup host would appear to be "on the network".  Hope this helps...


I don't "start" ppp anywhere really...

After configuring mgetty, I tried to call from a winXP client box but it
raise an error after trying to authenticate itself: error:737 loopback was
detected.

My /etc/ppp/ppp.conf has:
default:

Well, I think that what is happening is perhaps 
your /var, /usr and so on are under different 
partitions or subpartitions (disklabels as freebsd
calls them). If so, you should be able to still get to
them 
by mounting each of those partitions seperately with
ffsdrv. Latest versions of ffsdrv have support for
disklabel subpartitions. This means that /usr, /var
may be mounted on windows under seperate drives, like
X:\, Y:\, Z:\ etc. FreeBSD lets you mount other
partitions into directories on the root / filesystem
partition. One partition can be the / filesystem, and
new partitions can be mounted at /usr, or another
other location. Windows on the other hand represents
each partition with a drive letter

Making a snapshot doesn't make copies of the files.  They will only be
copied if a new version is created in the real filesystem.  This is
called "copy on write".  

Technical documentation is probably at http://www.mckusick.com/softdep/

AS "man mksnap_ffs" says, "The snapshot_name argument must be

Well, let's see.  Apparently this port requires that
databases/p5-BerkeleyDB to be built with the variable 
WITH_BDB_VER set to indicate version 4.1 (or later).

At a guess, add "WITH_BDB_VER=1" to your make.conf, 
and then install the databases/p5-BerkeleyDB port.

I've found that Dovecot 1.0a3 has a problem with 4.1.x, 4.0.x works
perfectly with Dovecot though.  Anyway, not *everything* seems to
be backward compatible.

P.S., this is running on FreeBSD 4.11 if that makes a difference.

Olafo,

I've found that 4.1 works perfectly! It has been running on my web

MySQL 4.1 was pulled out of gamma and into release. 0 troubles at all.

I definitely recommend upgrading. There really isn't any reason not to

If your linux_base-8 installation is out of date you may not have the
necessary dependencies.  Try to portupgrade -a.

I'm guessing you really updated your machine to 5.x or later by
mistake (e.g. used the wrong cvsupfile), and you have also tried to
installworld before installkernel, which is an incorrect way to do the
update anyway.

What do scary messages from "dump" mean?

[Gary W. Swearingen]

On FreeBSD 5.4-R, I did a backup using 4 dump/restores and each
dump (-0L) gave two scary-looking lines like those that stick out here:

  ...
  DUMP: estimated 71239 tape blocks.
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
warning: ./.snap: File exists
expected next file 4037, got 180
  DUMP: DUMP: 72413 tape blocks
  DUMP: finished in 10 seconds, throughput 7241 KBytes/sec
  ...

1) Why should "dump" warn about "./.snap" when the manpage implies
that not having one is a problem that it explains how to fix?

2) What's the "expected" line trying to tell me?  I can guess that
"file 4037" means "inode 4037", but I don't know what I'm supposed to
do with this information.  One could worry that the dump was bad.
Should it be telling me things like that?  What could the manpage say
to explain such a message?

Thanks.

I don't see anything wrong with the figures from that log.

The only other thing I can think of to check is to ensure that DMA is
enabled and supported on your drive. atacontrol cap is supposed to
tell you if DMA is supported, and sysctl hw.ata will tell you if DMA
is enabled in the kernel driver.

I don't know the details on how to enable DMA if it is disabled,
unfortunately. I would expect it would need to be something in the
loader, rather than a run-time tunable.

The interface ppp0 should appear if you start pppd; you may
try it by starting as root in one window the daemon:

# pppd

and ignore the LCP there; now issue from another window to check it:

# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500

Just use them.  Those interfaces are created dynamically.

Interfaces doesn't appear

[Efren Bravo]

Hi,

I've looked at my fBSD5.4's interfaces and ppp0 and tun0 don't appear. I
configured the kernel with ppp and tun devices and installed it.  
  
This has some thing to do with my ppp problem?  
Why ppp and tun doesn't not appear as interfaces, what can I do?

Thanks.

Some kind of bug in your input filter.

Try using one of the ports for setting printers up (e.g., apsfilter)
instead of writing your own.

I believe I have exactly the linux version:
/usr/ports/print/acroread7
And it was installed as part of the linuxpluginwrapper port as a dependency.

Re: Which MySQL version best to use and with/without linux threads?

[Dinesh Nair]

On 10/01/05 00:08 Andrew P. said the following:

linuxthreads were only important on FreeBSD 4.x.
Starting with 5.x we have a more efficient threading
model. Extensive testing did not reveal any significant


is this definitive, i.e. that on 5.x linuxthreads are worse off than native 
freebsd threads ? i'm not trying to be a troll, but over on the asterisk 
mailing lists, we're in the midst of discussing if /usr/ports/net/asterisk 
should be using linuxthreads or pthreads by default. on 4.x (which i'm 
still on), linuxthreads has oodles better performance than native pthreads, 
but i havent really done any testing on 5.x or 6.x.


any advice here would be much appreciated.

You need the Linux version (as acroread is a Linux X executable).  
On my -STABLE system, it was installed as part of linux_base-8, 
as a dependency.

Most of the files are platform independent. The overhead from all the non-i386 
platforms put together is only about 4%.

BTW I think ppc is parallel printer port support, not the powerPC platform.

Problems with Acroread7 port

[Vladimir Tsvetkov]

I had no problems with the make install clean with this port,
but when I try to start acroread7, I got the following message:

# acroread7
/compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread:
error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I've searched for the libfreetype.so.6 shared object on my machine and
I got the following:

# find /usr -name "libfreetype.so.*"
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9

Maybe I have a newer version of libfreetype.so.*.
I tried with a symbolic link:

# ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9 /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6

And then again:
# acroread7
/compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread:
error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

So, this method doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You obviously installed something *before* doing the installkernel.

Sorry for not responding earlier... an unusual confluence of the

man script

Use script to capture your entire upgrade process for analysis. Look 
not only at the end where things totally crap out, but possibly much 
earlier where things may start to fail in a non-fatal way (esp. if

Well, that symbol is definitely supposed to be present in your perl

Do you have any perl-related knobs in make.conf, or in pkgtools.conf
(if you used portupgrade for installing)?

Not really.  Rather than trying to keep an entire file contiguous, UFS
just keeps reasonably large blocks contiguous, and all of the blocks
in the same part of the disk ("cylinder group").  

The basics of this are all still the same as in the original research
paper; see /usr/share/doc/smm/05.fastfs/paper.ascii.gz.

Also bear in mind that the term "fragmentation" is used to mean
something different in the Microsoft world than it is with respect to
Unix filesystems.  I have commented on that before on this list;
please see the archives to avoid repeating old discussions.  For example,

that it didnt make previously, then definitely there
may be something wrong. Some hard disks do make noises
when reading data, others do not. I have had some that
are easily heard, and they always were that way, and
others that are silent.

As far as backing up data, CDs are an option but with
a lot of data that gets a bit inconvenient, maybe one
of the GUI CD writer tools on FreeBSD makes spanning
multiple CDs less of a performance. Maybe there is
some tool to verify the CDs where written properly as
well. I hope. I have another computer that I just copy
the data to. Some people just install two hard drives
inside their system and use the second as a backup.
Some people use external USB hard drives.

The documentation is very extensive, so you need to be more precise
about what part you are having trouble with.  

If you are using ppp(8), start by making sure you can get it started
from the command line; once that works, you can worry about startup
scripts to do so automatically.

First of all, I would try 6.0.  It's currently in beta, but some of
the changes in device probing may help you.  

If that doesn't help, then take a look at your BIOS settings.
Toggling such settings as "plug-and-play OS" might help you get
further, here, particularly with "safe mode".

You could also try a source upgrade; just be careful with keeping a
bootable kernel around, as you may need to experiment to get a
kernel that doesn't tickle whatever is funny about your hardware.

Another point would be to look to that hardware.  For one thing, make
sure that the acd0 drive is *really* configured and cabled as the
master on the second IDE bus.  And that if anything else is on the
same cable, you remove it.  [It isn't being seen anyway.]

Good luck.

Re: can't install 5.4, won't recognize SCSI CD Rom

[Chuck Swiger]

I'm having a problem installing FreeBSD with a CD Rom disc.  I have a SCSI CD

floppies, then have FreeBSD use the installation media on the CD Rom for the
rest.  Unfortunately, FreeBSD can't see the installation media because it
doesn't recognize my CD Rom player.


OK.


From what I understand, most of the time, FreeBSD will use it's default drivers
to recognize all hardware on a system.  In my case, the CD Rom isn't being
recognized (although the SCSI hard drive is recognized).


Can you see the CD-ROM device from within the SCSI card's BIOS screen?

If not, you probably have a cabling or termination problem.  This is especially 
common if you have a mixture of 68-pin and 50-pin cables.  Try changing the 
SCSI ID of the CD-ROM drive.  Try disabling ultra/wide modes.  Double-check any 
CD-ROM related options in the SCSI BIOS.


If you have not already done so, you should try to reflash your BIOS on the MB 
and the SCSI card (and even for the CD-ROM drive if you can find an image for 
it) to the latest versions.


BTW, you haven't actually told us what the SCSI card or the CD-ROM devices 
actually are.  More details and precise settings would be useful, especially a 
dmesg (which could be put somewhere on the web and a link mailed, or as an 
attachment, but watch out for list MIME-type filtering by Mailman).

How to read FreeBSD partition under winXP?

[snnn]

How to read FreeBSD partition under winXP? Is there some freeware I can
download?

I think this is a frequently question, I searched it on google, and find
one named "FFS Driver Mount Manager" on sourceforge.net.It's easy to
use,but I can only mount one partition "/"... Who can told me how to use
it? Or give me a link to another similar software?

Thanks.

p.s.I'm a newbie of this mail list,is here any FAQs (of this mail list)
I can read first?

Not exactly, there's only one 'version' of ports tree independent of
system version. Empty tag ('tag=.') is all that's needed.

Have a look at the Handbook (chapter A.5.3 "CVSup Configuration)[1]:

<<
Which version(s) of them do you want?

[...]

Warning: Be very careful to specify any tag= fields correctly. Some
tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify
an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you
probably do not want deleted. In particular, use only tag=. for the
ports-* collections.

Should be 'tag=.' as explained above. HTH.

You cannot fdisk the disk you are booted from or a mounted disk
other than just to read the information - but no updating.

If you need to modify the primary label of your boot disk, then
you will need to boot from something else, such as a 'fixit' CD.
In 4.xx and before, the fixit was the second CD.  In 5.xxx (and I
presume after), the fixit is the first CD.

Not a good idea.
First, build your new (larger) disk properly with fdisk/disklabel/bsdlabel
and newfs first (or you can use /stand/sysinstall - see 'man 8 sysinstall).
Then use dump(8)/restore(8) to transfer the file systems.

Exactly right.   Basically we do the same and usually after a while
they drop the MS server and consolidate on the UNIX (FreeBSD) server
without Front Page.

How to configure CVSup supfile for correct ports tree ?

[edward]

Hi all,
I just upgraded a 5.3-RELEASE system into 5.4-STABLE using CVSup and the 
usual building procedure. For this, I created a src-supfile containing :

*default tag=RELENG_5
It all went fine and 5.4-STABLE is up and running.
I also have a previously configured ports-supfile with :
*default tag=.
I undestand this points CVSup towards the FreeBSD-current ports collection.
I am concerned about getting software that really matches the version of 
FreeBSD I am running. Is my ports-supfile OK, or should I change the tag 
line to :

*default tag=RELENG_5
to be sure ports and OS are fully compatible ?
Thanks for your insight on this.

Logging Program Action

[Gerard Seibert]

I am using FreeBSD 5.4. Presently, I am using DADA Mail, a mass mailing
program similar to MailMan. The program runs fine under FreeBSD, with
one exception.

When the program "POPs" a message from the mailbox set up for it, it
fails to delete the message. This leads to the message being resent
endlessly unless I remove it manually. The programs' author, Justine
Simoni, has been unable to correct this problem.

For the record, I am using QPOPPER, the latest version. If I access this
mailbox with my usual MUA, the message is downloaded and deleted
normally.

What I am looking for is a program that can log everything that the DADA
module is doing when it runs. Specifically, when the module that
accesses the mailbox runs, if possible. Perhaps I could then find out
what the problem is. DADA is written in PERL.

Re: How do you patch a driver?

[Subhro]

Foo Ji-Haw sat at his 'puter and typed on 10/3/2005 10:03:

Hello Subhro,

Thanks for your help. From the link I have the following files:

ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz (2k)
ata-mk3m.diff-releng5.gz (2k)
ata-mk3m.tar.gz (100k)
ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz (113k)
ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz (2k)

Which file should I be using? Is 'current' better than 'releng5'? Do I also
need to download a pair of files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz with
ata-mk3m.tar.gz?

Sorry, but I am quite confused with kernal patching. Recompiling yes, but

The general way to patch a driver is patch -p0 < patch_file. The patch
file is to be copied in the first level directory of the source code.

Thanks

You need to read the handbook. Read through the chapter describing the 
different trees of development. If you want to run the OS on a 
production box I would recommend stable. Current is only for developers. 
BTW, your mail client indents the replies incorrectly. I can see that 
you are using Microsoft Outlook 6.0. I would recommend get Thunderbird. 
It's a much better client alltogether.


Thanks
S.

RE: Front Page extensions ???

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

We do it on Solaris not on FreeBSD, but it's no big deal - we put all
the FP users on a single server and everyone else on a server
without FP loaded.  After all if the FP server gets hacked due to
FP extensions, what is the customer going to say?  They demanded
the FP extensions in the first place!

Keep in mind also that a great many FP users that THINK they need
FP extensions on the webserver in actuality DO NOT.  Microsoft does
a lot of work to blur the two because they know that some ignorant
people will actually go lay out the coin for a Windows server just to
run FP.  But our observation is the vast majority of users use FP
as a page-creation program and never use any of the FP extensions,
or simply use very basic ones like a web-to-email page that can
easily be duplicated with CGI.  If you teach them to use FTP from
Front Page to upload their pages, rather than Microsoft's icky
proprietary thing, they are just as happy either way.

Re: Which MySQL version best to use and with/without linux threads?

[Olaf Greve]

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your answers!

I see that MySQL v5 is not mature enough for my likings to risk the 
gamble already, and presently I have no need for triggers and stored 
procedures (though they can be very handy, of course).


Regarding version 4.0.x versus 4.1.x: the same applies as for v5: I do 
not yet have a direct need for v4.1's additional features, so I think 
for now I'll simply stick with 4.0.26, and I will not bother compiling 
linuxthreads into it.


Tnx again!

Cheers,
Olafo

Fwd: FreeBSD + Firefox + Flash Problems

[Vladimir Tsvetkov]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Vladimir Tsvetkov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 2005-10-3 11:02
Subject: Re: FreeBSD + Firefox + Flash Problems
To: RW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


The Flash problem is solved!!!
The problem was in step 2:

> 2. Install linuxpluginwrapper:
> # cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
> # make WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes install clean

I just explored the /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/Makefile and I saw this:

.if !defined(WITHOUT_PLUGINS)
RUN_DEPENDS=${X11BASE}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so:${PORTSDIR}/
www/linux-flashplugin6
RUN_DEPENDS+=   ${X11BASE}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so:${PORTSDIR}/mult
imedia/linux-realplayer
#RUN_DEPENDS+=  ${LINUXBASE}/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf
.so:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread7

.if ${OSVERSION} < 50
USE_MOTIF=  yes
.endif

.endif

I had defined WITHOUT_PLUGINS=yes, which meant that the nested .if
expession about using Motif on my system was not executed. My system
needs Motif to get the Flash plugin running. So I deinstalled it, and
installed it without defining this configuration variable:

# cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
# make install clean

Now, Flash works!!!

You can see also that I've commented out the line that will install
Acroread7 as a dependency, because I thought that Acroread5 will work
just fine for me. Obviously I am mistaken, because I still can't open
*.PDF in an embeded browser. And now, I'm just going to try another
install and maybe will use Acroread7.

Best Regards,
Vladimir

fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: No such file or directory

[Paul Clark]

Hi all,

 

I get this when I type 

/home/paul# fdisk -u

fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: No such file or directory

 

ad0 is there because it's just booted off it.  

I have also tried this from a live CD with no active mounts.

 

This person had exactly the same problem:

I too had used dd to transfer from a smaller HD.

Websieve issue

[Sasa Stupar]

Hi!

I have installed websieve from ports collection on my FBSD 5.4, configured 
it but now when I try to login I get back:

---
Login Error
There was an error in loging you in to the server. Please click HERE and 
try again.


Wrong Password!

I am a sysadmin for linux and fbsd machines and hence websieve on linux 
machines works but on fbsd I get Login error.
The configuration is identical for all machines. The only error I can find 
is in httpd_error log:

---

/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/websieve.pl line 2467.

-

I have even in the mail log that I have been logged.

Any idea what could be wrong here?

My machine at work (AMD1700+) has same problems - here is it's dmesg IRQs:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ dmesg | grep -i irq
ioapic0  irqs 0-23 on motherboard
rl0:  port 0xec00-0xecff mem 
0xdf00-0xdfff irq 19 at device 8.0 on pci0

pcm0:  port 0xdc00-0xdcff irq 22 at device 17.5 on pci0

drm0:  mem 
0xdf00-0xdf7f,0xdfefc000-0xdfef,0xdc00-0xddff irq 16 at 
device 0.0 on pci1

While doing this:

$ cd /tmp && tar
jxf /usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice.org2.0/OOo_1.9m130_source.tar.bz2 

During it's entire run I ran this as well (my computer did nothing else
during that time):

while(true); do date >> vmstat.log && vmstat -i >> vmstat.log && sleep 1; done

The logfile can be found at
. Are you able to parse
anything usable from it?

Thanks in advance. If you need anything else, please just ask - I am very
eager to find the cause of these problems.

I am running perl 5.8.7 from ports, and I have done the whole routine

Is that normal?  I reinstalled the perl port to no avail.



Are your ports up to date?
[From an up-to-date ports tree?]


Yes, up to date from cvs as of a week ago or so.  Can anyone suggest  
a way for me to troubleshoot what exactly the problem is?
