I don't think that stale dependencies are an issue for
portupgrade as well, just add "-O" to the command-
line.

Re: Unable to upgrade kdenetwork using portupgrade

[Ivailo Tanusheff]

You should upgrade kdelibs first :) 
But the better approach is to rebuild all the dependencies also, so you 
should use -R option.
Maybe the version you are trying to upgrade from is too old and you should 
foce upgrade all the depends!

Unable to upgrade kdenetwork using portupgrade






I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 on my dektop with X.org  and KDE 
3.4.
I'm synchronizing my ports tree using cvsup.
 When I run the following command
 portupgrade -rR kdenetwork
 It fails because it is unable to upgrade the kdelibs. The error messages
says to run -F to force.
 What is the consequence?
 Would it be simpler to run portupgrade -rR kde?
 Thanks,
 Teo

This is a matter of symantic and logic.

I /can/ read this as follows:

If the symbol cannot be found, then dlsym() returns
a null pointer *AND* sets the error condition.

However, dlsym() can also return the null pointer,
*WITHOUT* setting the error condition. The latter
case seems to be better specified in the Linux
manpages of dlsym(). Hence the conflict between
FreeBSD and Linux/Grace, I guess.

Neither is it for me, though I had some English
language classes at high school.
However, I assume everybody to understand the
language of logic and symantics when it comes to
computer problems :).

Indeed, so the proper way is to call dlerror()
prior to a dlsym() call, to reset any previous
error condition. Something like this:

  /* clear error condition */
  dlerror();

  /* use dlsym and check for error */
  data = dlsym();
  if ( (error = dlerror()) != NULL ) {
  errmsg(error);
  return FAILURE;
  }

Personally, I feel that portmanager does a much better job of updating

sysctl.conf (formerly packet forwarding)

[Yance Kowara]

Thank you for the clarification about setting GATEWAY
(packet forwarding) in systl.conf and rc.conf.

The handbook suggested that "Over five hundred system
variables can be read and set using sysctl(8)" ...

Any clue as to where I can see those "over five
hundred system variables"? ... just being curious ...

Also, is this sysctl.conf a unique feature of FreeBSD
or a feature of nay *NIX O/S?

Kind regards,

Yance

Hi Yance,

some are in the manpage of sysctl. There is also this hint:

"More variables than these exist, and the best and likely only place to
search for their deeper meaning is undoubtedly the source where they
are defined.

At least OpenBSD and Linux have this feature, too.

To see a list of all the sysctl variables:

sysctl -a | more

Not all of these are read-write though, so it may not be possible to set
all of them.

I've always been scared off by the comparatively
young age of portmanager. Besides, portupgrade
comes with a set of useful tools, like cvsweb
browser.

But the fat ruby dependency and some other things
make me want something else. I'd be glad to see
a perl-based ports management system. Maybe
I'll write one some day :-)

From portupgrade's man page:

   -O
 --omit-check   Omit sanity checks for dependencies.  By default,
portupgrade checks if all the packages to upgrade
have consistent dependencies, though it takes
extra time to calculate dependencies.  If you are
sure you have run ``pkgdb -F'' in advance, you can
specify this option to omit the sanity checks.

Seems to be a caveat to the -O command.  What happens if pkgdb -F
isn't run first?

sysctl -a

Check out: http://sysctl.enderunix.org/index.php?tip_id=1&lang=en  

There are 80+ documented there.  The sites goal is to get as many as
possible documented, so if you come across some that aren't there, and
you know what they do, please submit.

A few suggestions:

If you want to update acroread-5.08 you should do that one manually
because it is FORBIDDEN, there is probably an overide switch, I don't
know what it is.  You can also just comment out the FORBIDDEN line in
acroread-5.08's Makefile.  Note ports are marked FORBIDDEN  because
they have security problems

I'm not sure about cups-pstoraster-7.07 builds but  scrollkeeper-0.3.14_1,1 
builds on my system, try pkg_delete -f scrollkeeper-0.3.12_1,1 then
rerun portmanager -u and hopefully you will be down to just 
cups-pstoraster-7.07 failing. You'll have to figure out its problem on your 
own or contact the maintainer for help.

Thanks for posting what you had success with.

I followed your instructions, but when I try to install the java/jdk14

Dual dvi on FreeBSD

[Kep Woof]

Hi Guys,

I've just bought a pair of TFT screens and wanted to connect them to
my FreeBSD box via their DVI connectors.  I've been searching with
google and the list archives, and it seems that the NVidia stuff
doesn't dual head and that ATI are rather unhelpful with regard to
drivers.  I found the project to write drivers for the x800 series
cards, but they look very less than ready.

I'm currently running on i386, but will be building a big amd64
workstation shortly.  These boards seem to use PCI express, and I was
wondering how well supported is that?  What about SLI?

Is anyone running an amd64 system with dual dvi tft's? Are there any
dual dvi cards supported ? Anyone running with two dvi cards?

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful,

Thanks,

Installing from File System

[Dean Weimer]

I have setup FreeBSD 5.4, with a minimal installation from the CDRom, I
would like to be able to change configuration options, such as adding
something from the packages collection on the CDs, or adding more of the
distributions at a later point remotely, using /stand/sysinstall.  I figured
I could copy both cds 1 and 2 into a directory on the machine, and choose
file system from the installation media page.  All works good up to a point.
then I receive a message stating that this is Disc 0 and the packages is on
Disc 1.  How do I make the install section realize that all of the files are
on the file system?

Sed howto

[Kövesdán Gábor]

Hello,

I'm looking for a good sed howto that can be useful for contributing to 
ports collection. Replacing text is I'm especially interested in. 
Besides, could somebody explain me, when we use USE_REINPLACE= YES and 
${REINPLACE_CMD}, and when we use just ${SED}?


Thanks in advance,

It isn't a HOWTO, but the best sed documentation I've ever read is in the
book ``Unix Text Processing'' by Dougherty and O'Reilly.  I think it's out
of print, but you can download it in PDF format from O'Reilly for free.  It
also has excellent documentation on quite a few other *nix utilities, and
is one of those books that I think should be on every *nix hackers
bookshelf along with Kernighan and Pike's ``Unix Programming Environment''.

IPFW - Counter

[Grant Peel]

Hi all,

Is is possible, to make a single rule counter, or, a multiple rule counter 
(maybe that pies to 1 single counter), so one can track inclomming and 
outgoing bandwidth?


I would like to say:

01 count from any to any via 1.2.3.4

or

01 count 1.2.3.4

To have the same effect as:

01 count from any to 1.2.3.4 in via fxp0
02 count from 1.2.3.4 to and out via fxp0

but somehow I don't think they will work :-)

I concur.  The 20 pages on sed are probably part of what you want.  It
doesn't answer your "besides..." however.  Perhaps someone else can help
there.  Here's a link to O'Reilly:

Our sed can only do inplace edits in 4.6 and newer, so on older systems
the textproc/sed_inplace port gets installed and REINPLACE_CMD is set
to that binary.  Use ${REINPLACE_CMD} when you modify a file inplace,
use ${SED} when you convert a "file.in" to a "file".

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

[Greg Lehey]

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list.  If
you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender
thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your
message:

- You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate.
- You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read.
- You asked more than one unrelated question in one message.
- You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone.
- You sent out the same message more than once.
- You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions.

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you
will get more than one copy of this message from different people.
Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

This document is also available on the web at
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html.

I:Introduction
II:   How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
III:  Should I ask -questions or -hackers?
IV:   How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions
V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions

I: Introduction
===

This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from
FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the
questions (the "hackers").

   Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking
   into other people's computers.  The correct term for the latter
   activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out
   yet.  The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking
   security, and have nothing to do with it.

In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the
different viewpoints of the two groups.  The newcomers accused the
hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers
accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English,
and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.  Of
course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the
most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration.

In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration
and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions.  In the
following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that,
we'll look at how to answer one.

II:  How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions
==

When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  In this message, amongst
other things, it told you how to unsubscribe.  Here's a typical
message:

  Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list!

If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to
or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your
subscription page at:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
(obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]").  You can
also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

You must know your password to change your options (including
changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe.
  
Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list
passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you
prefer.  This reminder will also include instructions on how to
unsubscribe or change your account options.  There is also a button on
your options page that will email your current password to you.

  Here's the general information for the list you've
  subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:

  FREEBSD-QUESTIONS   User questions
  This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD.  You should not
  send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
  question to be pretty technical.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you
don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one
which you specified when you subscribed.

If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on
the list, this may mean one of two things:

  1.  You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed.  That's where
  keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy.  For
  example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Since then, I have changed it to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
  the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with
  which I joined.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page
or any other online documentation.  The result is that most leading edge
computer books are out of date almost before they are printed.  Unfortunately,
The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception.  Inevitably, a
number of bugs and changes have surfaced.

"The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its
predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD".  Two of these have been reprinted
with corrections.  I maintain a series of errata pages.  Start at
http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata
information.

Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?  Please
let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

FreeBSD doesn't recognize my hard drive

[Tim Goodaire]

Hello everyone,

I'm having an odd problem. I have an old P2 box with two harddrives. 
Both of them are detected fine in the BIOS, and they are both listed at 
boot up, when it lists the BIOS drives. After that, there is no mention 
of the second drive in the boot messages, and there isn't a device 
listed for it in /dev.


I don't know what's going on. Both drives worked find under Linux, and 
it seems like FreeBSD sort of knows about this drive. Any ideas on what 
I can do to track down the problem?


Thanks,
Tim

You can try using pipes for some kind of
consolidation (they are not meant for it,
of course).

You can also use skips like this:

skipto 1000 
skipto 1000 
...
skipto 1500 ip from any to any

And have rule number 1001 that counts all
the types you have defined.

Or you can try telling us precisely what you
want, we might come up with some rules.

Hello everyone,

I'm having an odd problem. I have an old P2 box with two harddrives. 
Both of them are detected fine in the BIOS, and they are both listed at 
boot up, when it lists the BIOS drives. After that, there is no mention 
of the second drive in the boot messages, and there isn't a device 
listed for it in /dev.


I don't know what's going on. Both drives worked find under Linux, and 
it seems like FreeBSD sort of knows about this drive. Any ideas on what 
I can do to track down the problem?

Wireless Adapter (PCI) for FBSD 4.11

[Jason Morgan]

Could someone point me to a wireless adapter that functions with FBSD 
4.11?  I was hoping to get a 802.11g capable card, but it doesn't appear 
that the ath(4) driver is available to 4.11 and wi(4) seems to only 
mention 802.11a cards. The list in wi(4) also seems somewhat out of 
date. Is it even possible to use 802.11g cards with 4.11?  I don't have 
the option of moving the system to 5.x or 6.x.

Thanks for your time,

Jason

Hmmm - looks like no-one has good news for me on this front so I'll try a
different approach:

Can anyone suggest a UNIX filesystem for a removable IDE disc that can be
used on linux and freebsd and that can be exported by NFS?

Just for the record, I shut off this restriction and the port started 
compiling inside the jail.  :)

I'd like to turn it back on once jdk builds--can anybody tell me if 
java/jdk14 requires linprocfs?  (I would guess not ...)

Presumable they are statically linked; I believe 5.0 falls before the

After tons of manual deinstalling, upgrading, tinkering, etc. (I

Unfortunately, this is the most crucial of all, and ironically the one
about which I've been asking since the beginning.  As I mentioned
earlier, upgrading this port bails consistently with a C callout to
PEM_F_DEF_CALLBACK.  I'd really like to get this port updated, not
only to finally complete this insane goose chase of updating, but
because I know that apache-2.0.48 is chock full of vulerabilities.






cd /usr/ports/www/apache20 && make deinstall && make clean && make  
reinstall


See what happens.

FreeBSD 4.11 + imap-uw = PAM problems

[patrick]

I'm getting the following errors with imap-uw on FreeBSD 4.11 when I
connect to the POP3 or IMAP server:

Oct 28 15:57:56 bubs imapd[16913]: unable to resolve symbol: pam_sm_open_session
Oct 28 15:57:56 bubs imapd[16913]: unable to resolve symbol:
pam_sm_close_session

I installed imap-uw from the ports collection, and my pam.conf has:

imapauthrequiredpam_unix.so
imapaccount requiredpam_unix.so
imapsession requiredpam_unix.so
pop3authrequiredpam_unix.so
pop3account requiredpam_unix.so
pop3session requiredpam_unix.so

I don't know a lot about PAM, so I'm not even sure where to start to
fix this. I have a similar setup going on a FreeBSD 4.62 machine, and
it works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Removing kernel options and devices in today's world

[Doug Poland]

Hello,

I've been using FreeBSD since 2.1.5 and have dutifully tweaked my
kernels to include devices I need, and remove unwanted things.  This
made a big difference on 486's with 16MB of memory.  

Over the years I've developed a procedure for keeping track of changes
in GENERIC and reducing the amount of time it takes to build a custom
kernel for a given box.  

Fast-forward to 2005, PCI, SMP, gigabytes of RAM, kernel loadable
modules and FreeBSD 6.x.  As I begin preparing some boxes for updating
to 6, I'm wondering if it's really worth the effort to tweak a kernel?
And by this I mean removing devices and options.  It's trivial to have
an include for the devices/options I need to add to every kernel.  But
the list of things to take out keeps getting bigger and bigger and the
chance for errors in editing increase.

I'm thinking of just running GENERIC with necessary additions.  Most of
my boxes are workstations or department-sized servers supporting basic
web, email, and file/print services.   Architecture is all 32-bit Intel
ranging from modest PIII to 4-way Xeon P4.

I can come up with several arguments for both cases (running GENERIC vs.
trimming all unneeded "fat" from a kernel).  Has anyone else wrestled with
this issue and come up with interesting conclusions?

Doug

Just the obvious kind of tracking things down:
Is the controller detected for the drive that isn't detected?
Is anything else on that controller?
If not, is the disk in the master slot on that bus?

ports manager vs. portupgrade

pros and cons anyone?

I've always used portupgrade and it works pretty well, but I'm curious as to
how ports manager compares.

I recommend
1- Nightly dumpall
2- More frequent backup of databases that change often.

You can setup a script like:
#!/bin/sh
PGUSER=
PGPASSWORD=
export PGUSER
export PGPASSWORD
/usr/local/bin/pg_dumpall |/usr/bin/bzip2 -c > 

Of course you can change it to a "sh" script. :-)

For the single DB ones you can use
#!/bin/sh
PGUSER=
PGPASSWORD=
export PGUSER
export PGPASSWORD

cd

pg_dump   > db.sql

Pardon my bias agan ;) but I'd recommend only updating with portmanager.
From cron I'd just run a cvsupdate and portmanager -s > /root/portmanager.log.
Review the log from time toi time and when you see something that should be 
updated run portmanager -u manually.  Some ports do not do well being built 
from cron so will save you much trouble to do the updates manually.  As far 
as the INDEX goes, portmanager doesn't require it, but other utilies do so 
maybe add a make fetch index to cron as well.

Congradulations on getting everything fixed BTW.

Yep: it was 2.0.48

I ended up deinstalling that apache installation (which I was not keen
on doing), and installing the apache20 port (which was the same
version (2.0.55) as the apache2 port ), and, thankfully, it's
working fine.  I'm also now able to run both 'pkgdb -F'and 'portsdb
-Uu' without ANY errors (except for a few 'Duplicate INDEX entry'
warnings).

Needless to say, this process wasn't much fun.  What can I do to keep
this from happening again?  What can/can't I safely include in cron to
automate database and index maintenance?

Thanks to all.

works with the HP ML110 G2 with the ICH7 SATA RAID controller. i've had to
