No openGL, glxgears, glxinfo - libm.so.3 not found
OpenGL apps won't run. glxgears and glxinfo give me the same error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.3" not found, required by "libGL.so.1" I have the nVidia driver, I have renderaccel set to true in xorg.conf.

ports and packages errors
I keep getting errors in trying to install packages and ports. As an example when I try to get linuxpluginwrapper in ports I see it trying to fetch some items and not finding them. It seems like it trys in several places (but I'm not sure if it's just going on to the next item). It finally ends up with an automake not the right version error. what I did was su, then cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper && make install clean So next I tried to get it as a package: pkg_add -r linuxpluginwrapper This retreived several packages successfully but failed at 6 of them. This same scenario has happened to 2 other packages I've tried to receive. I'm pretty sure I have a good internet connection as I have downloaded several other multi MB items through http. Am I just having bad luck with servers being down or am I doing something wrong? Is it unusual that some componants of ports and packages are not available? Also, where did the ones that were fetched go? Do I need to remove them, will they be overwritten if I try again later and there are new ones available?

While it's theoretically possible, try to assess the likelihood of this being true: the jdk is used by many users, and they don't report memory leaks. On the other hand, your system manifestly has almost no spare capacity to accomodate transient memory spikes. When this happens, you'll easily run your system out of swap. The fact that your system is *already* using 14% of swap (under presumably a "normal" workload) says that it is clearly overloaded: the instant your system starts swapping in order to accomodate its workload, performance will drop in the toilet.

awk question
Hello folks,
I'm making a script to generate some statistics for a batch job and I'm
stuck with awk.
For example:
%echo 1 2 3 4 5 6 | awk {'print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6'}
it will output:
1 2 3 4 5 6
I want to tokenize a string with another separating char (the : char):
%echo 1:2:3:4:5:6
and with awk to output:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Is there any way of doing this?
Real example:
I have a log file with the following output:
2006-01-20 - 20:01:07 - Some text
2006-01-20 - 20:01:15 - Some text
2006-01-20 - 20:01:38 - Some text
(...)
and since I'm generating hourly stats I need to match the "20" which is in a
string "20:01:07" that is separated by the char ":".
I hope I've been clear.
Thanks for your help.

Well, that's right, but you must set also the next options: ChallengeResponseAuthentication no PermitEmptyPasswordsno PasswordAuthentication no IgnoreRhostsyes IgnoreUserKnownHostsyes HostbasedAuthentication no RhostsRSAAuthentication no PubkeyAuthenticationyes PermitRootLogin no StrictModes yes This could be more secure. Never allow remote users to gain root access. Instead, put a user in the wheel group to allow this user to run su(1), also, you can setup a user with uid = 0, on another group to maintain the root user a little bit more safe. Also, the logging options are should be these settings. SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevelVERBOSE > Thanks, Best regards...

Sadly the "future" most likely lies in v9.0, so hold on to 4.x for as long as you can. Hire a programmer to fix or port stuff back. It will save you in the long run. DT __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: cannot ping anything
I tried both of those and got the same result, ping: sendto: No route to host. I examined my dmesg output a little closer and noticed: IP Filter: v3.4.35 initialized. Default = block all, Logging = enabled This means that my assumption of disabling IPF by removing all of the comments tertainin to it and IPNat from /etc/rc.conf were wrong because it it compiled statically. This means that there is no way to turn it off, right? So I reloaded my old /etc.rc.conf with the somments to turn on IPF and IPNat, and point to their rules files. The previous computer this HD was installed on had two NICs sis0 and sis1. sis0 was connected to the WAN, so I just changed sis0 in all the comments to dc0. I made sure there was a statement that allowed ICMP statements thru. I restarted, and things stayed the same, so I went back to /etc/ipf.rules and changed all instances of sis1 to dc0, also maing sure the ICMP statement was there. I restarted again and, once again ,no progress. Since the previous machine had two interfaces this is most likely the issue since nat is messing things up. I have to get moving forward with this project so I am simply downloading the new 6.0 release. This should solve the problem.

If I'm not mistaken (warning: lately I have been mistaken more than is usual ;) you're going to get the link#1 indicator prior to your box having had any reason to arp for the router, meaning "generally, that IP address should be somewhere in that direction". You'll see the MAC address after the box has tried and succeeded with an arp request, meaning "that IP address is precisely right there". That the indicator changes to a MAC address is a sure sign of basic NIC functionality as well as cabling that transmits and receives OK, at least some of the time. I was previously using this HD in another machine to test IPF, with NAT also, and it worked peerfectly there. The fact that you can use arp and DHCP but not ping smells like there is leftover ipf/nat configuration or related kernel/module issues that are preventing appropriate packet flow. Ensuring that such features are disabled is the only thing I can suggest short of reinstalling, which I am fairly confident would solve the problem. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: Can't mount existing data disk after upgrade (disklabel gone)
Joe, If you did not touch ad4 the disklabel it should still have been there, but I presume that you have destroyed it by now. Did you make any kind of backup ? such as a dump of the filesystem ? How did you try to mount ad4s1a ? ( I am assuming you tried to mount the 'partition' and not the slice (ad4s1) or the device (ad4)). Why are you changing the offset of ad4s1a from 16 to 2097215 ? Is there another partition on there somewhere or do you just not want to use that part of your disk ? Also, you scan_ffs ad4 instead of ad4s1 which is what you should be interested in. The size differences are normal because there's a difference between ad4 ad4s1 and ad4s1a. You want to write the correct disklabel to ad4s1 and then mount ad4s1a. You're 'a' partition extends past the size of the disk (c) because a(584002180)+offset(2097215)= 586099395 > c:( 586099332) (by 63) If you can correctly replicate the exact disklabel you should be able to access your data. Otherwise, chalk it up to experience. I hope this helps.

PHP junk pointer error with imagick.so
Hi All, I recently noticed running a phpinfo() page that the page would not completely render. When I looked in /var/log/httpd-errors.log, I found the following error every time I hit that page: [Fri Jan 20 10:53:08 2006] [notice] child pid 88217 exit signal Abort trap (6) httpd in free(): error: junk pointer, too high to make sense After successively commenting and uncommenting each extension I have for php, I finally found the culprit extension to be imagick.so. I found the commit message for ImageMagick 6.2.5.5 at http://www.freshports.org/graphics/ImageMagick/ suggesting that there were segfaults with earlier versions, and so on a hunch I did a portupgrade -rf ImageMagick. No dice; I still can't load the imagick.so extension to php without running into these junk pointer errors. FYI, here's the (I think) relevant ports I have installed: apache+mod_ssl-1.3.34+2.8.25_2 ImageMagick-6.2.5.5 php4-4.4.2 php4-extensions-1.0 pecl-imagick-0.9.11_3 Has anyone else encountered this issue?

For this, install the nvidia-driver from ports and then read the instructions displayed at the end of the install to know how to load it. Then, I personally just followed these instructions and loaded it into my X config manually: http://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-8178/README/chapter-03-section-02.html > Where can I find out about getting my sound card working (sound blaster > Audigy 2)? Right now I get no sounds anywhere in KDE. I use an Audigy 2 Platinum and it works great. You can either load a kernel module for the sound driver or compile it into your kernel. Here are the instructions on how to do either: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html The sound driver for your card is the snd_emu10k1 so that first example for loading it as a module and then adding it into loader.conf should work for you. Also, since you're running KDE, you'll need to take a couple steps there. I have not used KDE in a while, but I remember having some problems getting sound to work when I initially started using FreeBSD as a desktop. The problem was I didn't realize that KDE took over the sound with it's "aRtsd". So once you have sound working in FreeBSD and if it still doesn't work while in KDE, then look throughout the KDE options for a KDE mixer and make sure all the levels are up (on the "Input" tab too if they still have that). > How can trace my permission errors when I try to access my CD player in > KDE?

Can't mount existing data disk after upgrade (disklabel gone)
First of all, I have learned something VERY important about FreeBSD. SAVE your DISKLABELS! I have 2 drives in my home file server. One 80GB drive (ad0) for the OS and one 300 GB drive for my data.

DOH! I did not do this, nor have I ever read about this in the FreeBSD handbook. After reading through the handbook and googling, I found a tool called scan_ffs that can help me recreate my disklabels by scanning my drive for partitions. Great!

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
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.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
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. = Contents: 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. 2.

Wake-on-LAN won't work if FreeBSD/Linux shuts down the system...?
I'm trying to get WoL working, and actually works quite well as long as windows shuts down the system. However, when FreeBSD or Linux shuts down my system, it won't work, and if I manually turn on the system and shut it down again (even before POST is done) WoL will work again(!?!?) I've tried shutting down my system in every way I could think of, but it doesn't seem to matter... I've been googling for hours on this and didn't get alot wiser, does anyone have any experience or solution for this?

Thanks, my original problem was solved by just starting over with a new key pair. Must of had a bad key. I ran debug on the server and it said it couldn't read it even though it was there. I'll try the agent today. It'll require adding a pass-phrase to the key, but that's no problem now that I know all the configs are good. I really don't mind the final default to a password. I just hate to type it all the time. I'm using a long very cryptic pass and it gets tedious to have to enter it several times.

Resolving Perl 'make test' Errors?
We're running perl 5.8.7_2 (from ports), with a mix of modules installed via ports and CPAN, all on a 6.0-STABLE machine. Someone tried to install WWW::Mechanize from CPAN, and when it tried to do a 'make test', there was an error. If I build the module in ports and go into the work directory and run 'make test' manually, I get the same test error. I usually prefer to install Perl modules through ports when possible, so that portupgrade can take care of them for me. However, one of the shortcomings of the (at least default) way in which ports installs Perl modules is that ports does not run 'make test'. Is there a clever way to have the ports system run 'make test' before installing a Perl module? Most of the /usr/ports/*/p5-*/Makefile files do not have 'test' defined as a target. Does anyone have any advice for how to go about ironing out this problem? My first inclination is to remake each of my p5-* ports and run 'make test' on them manually and then have CPAN reinstall everything that we have installed via CPAN.

Funny enough the same trick no longer works today, but then they're currently upgrading lots of stuff around here so that's a different story. Then when I used ftp to connect to my gateway and it came up with "frox transparent proxy", someone had actually intercepted my connection and forged/spoofed a reply. I know that because I went to the premises of my box, unplugged everything and tried that trick again, successfully, from a separate dial-up connection. Hey, nmap even told me my box had ports open even though it wasn't even up! I've never seen anything like this before, but I've notified my ISP. Remains to be seen if they do anything about it... Good to know you werent hacked, I have seen this before for at least one dialup ISP, redirecting all smtp traffic via their smtp server(s) presumably to stop spammers. (Confused me back at the time to see an exim banner on what should be a sendmail server.) Havent heard about other services having this kind of "transparent proxy" imposed but it doesnt supprise me.

So long as you lock your screen or log out, you're not at much more risk than without null password keys. And they make administering several hundred hosts much easier.
