You cannot simply connect your FreeBSD box to your switch, receive multicast video and display it. I don't think you'll find open source software that does this... The other way around works fine, of course. vlc sends multicast and the STB displays it.

Re: is upgrading from 4.x to 6.x possible?
On 02/09/06 06:05 Erik Trulsson said the following: The other option available is of course to make a backup of all data and config files, make a new clean install of 6.x, and then restore files from backup. which is exactly what i did and something i'd recommend for all 4.x to 6.x direct upgrades. there's been a lot of changes in freebsd since 4.x and a clean reinstall of 6.x will ensure that this gets to you with the least amount of problems. -- Regards, /\_/\ All dogs go to heaven.

Re: OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 JDK issue
I know there has been a lot of activity on the mailing lists these days regarding JDK and OOo. From what I could gather, most of it is regarding keeping it working after the update of JDK14. In any event, I was installing OOo-2.0 for the first time, and the build failed. The error message is below and involves JDK-1.4. I figured that this would either be fixable or it would give additional information that could lead to solving some of the previously mentioned problems on the list. Thank you all for your assistance. I am running FreeBSD 6.0- STABLE. A part of my script nuked the output after it failed, so I only have the output from script. My googling led me to believe that it's to do with a problem in jdk patchset 8 for freebsd. Ive had exactly the same problem and ended up installing vi pkg_add :-( Seems like the best solution would be to let it use jdk15, but it doesn't seem to want to play.

But so far none of them have the two criteria I am looking for: 1) Wireless connectivity (802.11g preferred), and 2) VPN / IPsec capable. The reason is that I want to be able to move the camera at a moment's notice, and I don't want the images of my bedroom / study / backyard to be broadcast in the clear. However, I have not seen any webcam that has those two capabilities, so that's why I am trying to get them to work with Free and OpenBSD.

When network address translation first came out the only way you could get it was to used a modded open source UNIX on a PC with 2 nics. Then Cisco came out with it so you could use their routers to get it. Then linksys came out with cheap routers that had it.

What I wanted to do was to set up a *nix box with a webcam and a wireless NIC, so that I can mount the headless machine in the bedroom to keep an eye on our seven-month-old baby. (Link between the *nix box and the home private network will be encrypted using IPsec VPN.) What I have found so far are the following: 1) The apps that I have found do not work with a wide variety of more recent makes of webcams. If you do a Google search on FreeBSD webcam or OpenBSD webcam, you actually see some tools that purportedly work with QuickCam Express or QuickCam B/W (or Color), and a handful of other models. 2) Logitech, the maker of QuickCam, used to make available technical specs and docs for the developers to write drivers with. Unfortunately, the company does not do that anymore, and anyone who wants to make a QuickCam-series work has to either reverse-engineer it, use available drivers and hope for the best, or run it under Windows. 3) By contrast, NetBSD and some Linux distros (so far I've heard promising things about Fedora Core 4 and I think Gentoo) have more development work going on for webcams.

Infos, links, very welcome.
Not sure about how to get that working nicely with webmail, but the
rest is simple.
You need to have the storage space exported by nfs to every server
machine. Using maildir helps massively as well. This is truely great
for this sort of enviroments.
I have been happy with qmail+spamcontrol, bincimap, spamassassin,
procmail, and clamassassin at work. It all runs nicely over nfs as

See the example given at the end of http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/87255 The ultimate cause would be running a bunch of programs that are heavy on the memory requirements, and running out of memory for both them and the malloc backed memory filesystem. See mdconfig(8) -- as it says: malloc Storage for this type of memory disk is allocated with malloc(9). This limits the size to the malloc bucket limit in the kernel. If the -o reserve option is not set, creating and filling a large malloc-backed memory disk is a very easy way to panic a system. Hence using '-o reserve' looks like a very good thing to try. Alternatively use a swap backed memory disk, or don't use a memory disk at all. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

While I 've done source upgrades across major version bumps, my recommendation is (if at alll feasible) to buy a new disk and start over.

As the documentation for g4u says, it's most useful when the source disk and target disk are the same size. It works when the target disk is bigger, but the slice will only be as big as the original slice. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

stale dependencies in pkgdb
Hello, I am trying to use a combination of portaudit and portupgrade to automatically maintain installed packages on my system, but portupgrade often hangs on stale dependencies. I've run pkgdb -F as portupgrade suggests, deleting stale dependencies, but they seem to keep reappearing. I guess I'm a little unclear about what a stale dependency consists of and how to fix it.

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.

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.

The following article(s) seem to detail how one would go about laying out an installation disk set. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/article.html It's probably not as straight forward as it sounds but I'm going to give a try for making a dvd for an x86 system. I'll post to the list re this subject heading with my progress. Hope this helps, --Duane Whitty Thank you for the links however, this isn't what I asked. Allow me to re articulate: 1. I would like a link to either where there may be a full blown DVD image of 6.0 or a torrent. 2. If not the above, the layout used to create the DVD image. Now allow me to explain 1 and 2 so there isn't anymore wild answers to questions users seem to think they read. Reason 1: If installing more then just the base OS (allow me to say that one key word, INSTALL) then swapping out the CD's is not something I'm willing to spend 3 hours doing (perhaps that was an embellishment after the fact). Reason 2: If there isn't a DVD image to download (either in whole or torrent) then the layout would allow me to create my own INSTALL DVD with my curent 6.0 roms. There - now that I have taken the time to eplain this, I hope there isn't anymore confusion as to what I'm asking. Best regards, Chris Chris, You do seem to be missing the point. The info you are asking for is on the Freebsd site. See http://www.freebsd.org/where.html FreeBsd does not have a DVD version for download. It is only available as iso's on the site and you can down load these by torrent if you want to. If you want to do something else then read the documentation and work it out - that is primarily how the system works. You can get FreeBsd on DVD is you want to buy it - see the http://www.freebsd.org/where.html for info on the FreeBsd mall at cost or you can find suppliers at cost through say ebay. One other thought if you don't want to spend time swapping the CDs try an FTP install.

/usr/lib/libxpg4.so.3 missing - Did I miss a memo?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On my network, I have several hosts that were originally installed with FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE, 5.3-RELEASE, and 5.4-RELEASE. All of these have been updated now to 6.0-RELEASE-p4. One host was originally installed from 6.0-RELEASE media and subsequently updated to p4. All works well. I took a cue from The FreeBSD Handbook; 21.5 Tracking for Multiple Machines, and have a central build host for the network. On this machine, I do my make buildworld, make buildkernel and building of packages to ports. That way I can just install port packages on the non-build machine. Everything worked great until I built bacula-server-1.38.5_1. Package built fine. Installs and runs fine on all machines except the host that was originally installed from 6.0-RELEASE media. On that machine, the bacula daemons will not execute. They error with: (for example) /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libxpg4.so.3 not found, required by bacula-dir This library does not exist on the from-6.0-install machine. I started by looking through /usr/src/UPDATING and can find no mention of this library on either the default branch or RELENG_5 branch. Next I started browsing through CVS and logs for /usr/src. Here's what I've found: This library has been obsolete and pretty much empty for a long time because its functionality was moved into libc. Yes, the library itself still existed up until the RELENG_5 tag. About 14 months ago, the files were removed on the mainline by tjr (Tim J. Robbins) on 2004-Nov-13.

I was under the impression that portupgrade would take care of the dependencies for a particular port, and the stale dependency was just an error in the package database (pkgdb). Is this not the case? My understanding of how things work: Consider two ports a and b, such that a-4.6 is a dependency for b-2.2. If a updates to 4.7, and I run portupgrade -r a, b will also be updated. But if I run portupgrade a (or there's a bug in the programs/ scripts) b will not update ... and pkgdb will complain about about a stale (i.e. unsatisified) dependency. This also happens when you replace one port with another that provides the same functionality. For example: many gnome ports depend on openldap. But I use openldap-sasl - and every time I update one of those ports I have to manually correct the dependency. (There's probably a way to do that automatically, but I haven't figured out how.) And now there's a stale dependency. This can be expecially frustrating if the dependant port hasn't been updated for years; the required port may have been upgraded beyond recognition, no longer available, absorbed into another port, etc.. As to how, try this as a first approximation. Run [kgdb -f, and reply no to all changes. Write down the port:dependency pairs, and then anaylze the dependencies. Has it been installed. but not registered? Replaced by a newer version? Two useful files are /usr/ports/UPDATING and /usr/ports/MOVED. My response here is mostly guesswork, educated by several years of doing this and sometimes asking for help. In the case above, fixing a-4.6 with a-4.7 is usually a no-brainer. Fixing a-4.6 with a-5.0, however, would require reseaech (and warrant keeping a backup of the pkgdb). Sorry; just fired off a message to the list before I got this one... Anyway, I think I've got it now. I believe I was correct in thinking that portupgrade usually takes care of dependencies; the portion that I was missing was that pkgdb catches what discrepancies do appear between what is installed and what is required. One of the ports that was giving me troubles was gamin; which I've just noticed seems to be similar to your situation with openldap-sasl (gamin/fam). Another was cdrtools (cdrtools/cjk-cdrtools).

SATA RAID0 and Plextor SATA DVD0-RW DRIVE system hang
HI I am having great difficulty with my SATA DVD-RW drive. It is a Plextor PX-716A ver 1.08 and is serial ATA seems to work/detect as acd1 fine before. However I cannot remember if i could mount it but did not try very hard and do not exactly know what i am doing with dvd-rw and FreeBSD yet. I compiled atapicam into the Kernel as per the handbook 17.5 the below related options were already there as i am running a Generic Kernel other than atapicam device scbus device da device pass device uhci device ohci device usb device umass When i try to boot with the drive plugged in the system hangs while detecting the drives. Must be reset with the drive unplugged to get fbsd back. Note i tried playing with the bios settings changing from enhanced sata to legacy and some combos of that. Also tried the the plug and play os off and then on nothing seemed to make the system boot with drive attached. I use a INTEL D925CV2 with built in raid see below about drive configuration ( this is without Plextor drive pluged in ) and a unmame output.

I would presume, then, that the Windows partition has been damaged. If the file system the Windows partition is healty in general with just a few files in the boot sequence being damaged or missing you should be able to re-install Windows in that partition and find all your data and applications present and in good shape. If however the filesystem in the Windows partition is messed up you may have lost everything. If you do re-install windows it will probably replace the MBR that is there with what Windows consideres to be a 'standard' MBR. I think you can use dd to copy the MBR that is currently there. Then to get back to FreeBSD you'll have to use fdisk to set the active partition to FreeBSD. Then you can, hopefully, restore the MBR you saved.

scripting sysinstall for pxeboot
Hello- I'm working on a project to netboot servers and perform a custom installation of FreeBSD. I have pxeboot working with tftp, providing an mfs image over the network. sysinstall runs as init and attempts to follow my install.cfg. However, when running my mediaSetFTP command, sysinstall errors with: The fxp0 device is not configured. You will need to do so in the Networking configuration menu before proceeding. However, I did set tryDHCP=YES. DHCP is working because 1) it just netbooted from it; and 2) I tried with the installation CD. It doesn't appear to be honoring my request that it try DHCP. If I take sysinstall over manually, specifying the network information, it works just fine. I want the installation to work with DHCP. Does anyone have any suggestions for debugging sysinstall in this way? On a not-a-show-stopper note, is there any way to get around specifying the hostname and/or net device? I'd rather not specify the hostname so that I can have one generic script for many machines. Further, what if a some other machine has a different kind of NIC? By hardcoding these values into install.cfg, the solution becomes much less maintainable. Why can't it obtain the hostname from DHCP? Any thoughts on this?

Strange problem with user account

I can't mount my USB thumb drive or ipod -- no /dev/da*
I'm a bit of a newbie, but I've done a good bit of research, and some asking around on this issue, and haven't been able to resolve it yet. I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE with the GENERIC kernel. (from what i can tell, it has all of the necessary pieces to allow usb drives). When I plug my ipod into my computer, dmesg gets the following addition: umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 However, that's all that appears there relative to it. From google, I found that plugging in an ipod or a usb thumb drive should add a /dev/da0 (or similar) entry to /dev, which you should mount. I still don't have a /dev/da*, and I actually checked, and nothing is getting added to /dev when I plug the ipod in. I thought that perhaps this was a problem related to support for the ipod, but I have the exact same problem whenever I try to mount a usb thumb drive. Nothing new appears in /dev, and dmesg simply gives one line explaining that umass0 sees the item. A TA's thumb drive had the same problem. The ipod is FAT32, and has been used in linux many times. The thumb drive is currently ext3, but I'd like to reformat it to FAT32 once I can get FreeBSD to recognize it. Here's the info I can find about the ipod: from dmesg: umass0: Apple iPod mini, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 from usbdevs -d: addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel uhub4 addr 2: iPod mini, Apple umass0 And the info from my usb thumb drive: from dmesg: umass0: PNY Attache 2.0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2 from usbdevs -d: addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel uhub4 addr 2: Attache 2.0, PNY umass0 Lines that I think are important from the kernel config: # USB support deviceuhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface deviceohci# OHCI PCI-USB interface deviceehci# EHCI PCI-USB interface (USB 2.0) deviceusb # USB Bus (required) #device udbp# USB Double Bulk Pipe devices deviceugen# Generic deviceuhid# Human Interface Devices deviceumass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da # SCSI peripherals devicescbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) devicech# SCSI media changers deviceda# Direct Access (disks) If there's any further information that would help, please let me know.
