does buildkernel rerun config
say you are running buildkernel with a config file. you realize you made a mistake and ctl-c the build. change the config file and restart buildkernel. does make buildkernel re-run the config to update the code configuration? is there a way to do this without deleting /usr/src and /usr/obj and bringing it down again? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Choosing cpu type when building kernel (stupid one i know)

The goal is not to have to install the printers and it's drivers on any XP box, rather using what Samba know from CUPS about them and their drivers which are stored (central) in Samba's share. Install /usr/ports/print/cups-samba and follow the guide of the postinstall instructions. MANUAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: == To complete the installation of print/cups-samba, do in order: CUPS-BASE --- 1) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types 2) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.convs 3) Make sure in /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf that the Samba server is allowed to use the CUPS server at all; 4) Restart cupsd SAMBA --- 1) edit the [global] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these lines (see 'man cupsaddsmb' for more info): [global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups 2) edit the [printers] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these lines: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes printer admin = root 3) edit the [print$] section of smb.conf and make sure it has these lines (the 'path' must be this exactly): [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /usr/local/samba/printer browseable = yes # guest ok = yes works too guest ok = no read only = yes write list = root 4) restart Samba NOTE: Samba needs to know about the passwords for printer admin and write list or authentication will fail. Set them with 'smbpasswd -a root' CUPS-LPR -- Now comes the tricky part. Put the following files somehow (i.e. stolen from another XP box) to /usr/local/share/cups/drivers # ls -l total 1996 -rw-r--r-- 1 rootwheel134144 21 feb 13:30 ps5ui.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 rootwheel 25113 21 feb 13:30 pscript.hlp -rw-r--r-- 1 rootwheel792644 21 feb 13:30 pscript.ntf -rw-r--r-- 1 rootwheel464384 21 feb 13:30 pscript5.dll The 'cupsaddsmb' need them exactly(!) with these names, make sure that they are no with capital letters after having copied them from a Windows box. Watch also what 'cupsaddsmb ... -v ...' says about them below. Run cupsaddsmb If only a subset of your printers will be installed as exportable to MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients: # cupsaddsmb -U root ps casa color ... To export all printers to MS Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 clients: # cupsaddsmb -U root -a In either case, you will be prompted for the root password. Use the flag '-v' to watch what's going on. The 'cupsaddsmb' should create the needed driver structure below /usr/local/samba/printer (this is the entry in smb.conf) and it should look like this # cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -h localhost -v ps Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'root%XXX' -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/spool/cups/tmp/43fb082709744 W32X86/ps.ppd;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll W32X86/ps5ui.dll;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp W32X86/pscript.hlp;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf W32X86/pscript.ntf;put /usr/local/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll W32X86/pscript5.dll' added interface ip=193.3

Re: getting virtual consoles to work reliably with X
Greetings, Quoting Heliocentric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I've admined a network of FreeBSD 5.4 desktops for a few months now, and I've noticed that when an X server crashes hard, it will no longer respond to the control-alt-fn sequences, and not pass them down to whatever handler is called to switch virtual consoles. Have you tried Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? I have used this successfully in the past when X froze. Also, if X barfed and left you at a blank terminal with no Ctrl+Alt+Fn, You might try Ctrl+d. That will log out and place you at a login terminal. There-by giving you a fresh (clean) session. Hope that helps. --Chris When the crash isn't that bad, normally I'd just kill the wdm process and let init respawn the display manager. But some days I don't have the option to ssh in or use a serial console to kill the daemon, and am forced to use the ACPI events to let the kernel shutdown and then restart the machine. Not only that, but the other people responsible for these machines are used to using the normal virtual console keys to kill errant processes on one console that aren't responding to signals. So I'm wondering, is there a compile time option, patch for atkbd, or configuration setting that will allow that driver to trap the control-alt-fn sequences itself, before it gets passed up to X? Or am I misunderstanding how the keyboard is handled in this situation? I would appreciate any help on this matter.

rebooting and crashes on dell server
Theres alot to this problem, but I'll try to be concise so I don't loose people. I started out with a cheap dell server running scsi raid and 5.x It crashed or locked up with a kernel panic in a different process (everything, syslog, you name it) ever few days. I swapped ram around figuring it was at fault since it was bought used on ebay. Still no luck. Tired of messing with it, I bought a new dell poweredge 2650, with scsi raid, a couple gigs of ram, duals, and just a new system, configured it, copied user data over and switched to it. Sure enough still the worst stability I've ever seen. It has dual power supplies, each in a different UPS. I don't believe power is the problem or I'd see similar problems on the other server or router I have plugged in there. I even upgraded to 6.0-Release-p1 but no luck. It panics from time to time, but usually now it just randomly reboots. Often at least every 36 hours. Often 2-3 times a few minutes apart when it does. I did install a debug kernel 2 weeks ago to try to get a crash dump, but no panic's since then. My make.conf is pretty simple: KERNCONF=crapbox CPUTYPE?=p4 CFLAGS= -O -pipe NO_BLUETOOTH= true# do not build Bluetooth related stuff NO_I4B= true# do not build isdn4bsd package NO_LPR= true# do not build lpr and related programs NO_GAMES=true# do not build games (games/ subdir) MAKE_IDEA= YES # IDEA (128 bit symmetric encryption) # added by use.perl 2005-09-29 11:26:41 PERL_VER=5.8.7 PERL_VERSION=5.8.7 Its not all that stressed of a box: load averages: 0.14, 0.07, 0.06 Mem: 235M Active, 367M Inact, 160M Wired, 33M Cache, 99M Buf, 81M Free Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free I've tweaked all the kernel values mentioned in the tuneable section of the manual, but the reboots continue. The box runs radiator (a perl based radius server), apache+mod_ssl-1.3.x with php5, postfix-2.2, amavisd-new-2.3, courier-imap-4.0, pure-ftp, nrpe (nagios), net-snmp, ssh, and bind 9.3.1 all from ports (except radiator). I run the same mail server setup on another server with no problem, although it processes far less mail. I use radiator on another server with no problem. This is a unique combination of packages I'm running, but no unique programs or configurations to this server. Between amavis and radiator it does alot of perl, and everything is a mysql lookup to another server. While all logic and experience points to a hardware problem I feel like the complete hardware replacement has pretty much laid the blame on software. I'm open to any suggestion as to what I might need to look at to clear this up. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown and insteall debian in desperation heh. I've tried a kernel without smp, I've tried disabling acpi on boot. If you need any more information feel free to ask for it, I'll happily provide it. Thanks! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Now my fresh new bsd 6 machine can't see the same smb share.

FreeBSD and VIA K8M800 chipset

I have to boot the FreeBSD install CD from the SCSI drive, won't work and fails the same way using the ATAPI/IDE drive. I think in my case it's because the SCSI drive is the Secondary Master (in BIOS) and the ATAPI/IDE drive is Secondary Slave.

simple question on portupgrade
Good evening, I am looking at the "downward recursive" option of portupgrade. Does this option (-R) only include the immediate dependencies of the port in question or is it truly recursive in the sense that it will upgrade dependencies of dependencies as well? Secondly, I see that the features of portupgrade for upward and downward recursiveness use opposite lettering to that of pkg_info: portupgrade -R is like pkg_info -r portupgrade -r is like pkg_info -R Example: # portupgrade -Rn bash ---> Listing the results (+:done / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) - converters/libiconv (libiconv-1.9.2_2) - devel/gettext (gettext-0.14.5_2) - shells/bash (bash-3.1.10) # pkg_info -rx bash Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2 Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2 This seems pretty silly.

Re: Shared object "libmysqlclient.so.15" not found
Greetings, I had the same problem with that library just today. I pulled my hair out with frustration trying (and failing) with portupgrade. *Until* I went to the /usr/ports/databases/mysqlclient-directory and ran: make deinstall then ran: portupgrade -fO That did it. I went crazy, because I tried: portupgrade -f which didn't fix it because the upgrade barfed when it got to the mysqlclient part, complaining that it was already installed (isn't that what the -f option is for?!). So I did a: setenv FORCE_PKG_INSTALL and did it again. It worked but the application(s) still complained about the mysqlclient library. Eventually I *boldly* added the O option after deinstalling the mysqlclient and all applications stopped complaining about the mysqlclient library. Go figure. Hope this helps. --Chris Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Did you compile this from ports or by hand ?

RE: Help Sun Blade 1000
FreeBSD does not run on the UltraSprac III processor. The US II is fine (4m in the lingo), but that is not what you have. There is also no port for Java for the 4m, if this is important to you. Stick with Solaris. If it is anything like the usual Sparc machine, go to the OBP (from the remote console, that is "stop-A" or ctl-F6-Break in Hyperterminal, if you use that) and that gets you to the OBP prompt. Usually "boot cdrom" works. There is a host of information on the OBP on the web that I'd suggest you look at. You may also consider resetting the OBP to its factory defaults. Then is should boot off the CDRom, usually after you try the disk and the network. You may have to relabel your disks.

Re: Does FreeBSD have problems with SCSI CD-drives ??
Probably should've said that I have no problems booting from all other bootCDs I've tried... even windows manages to do it (which in itself is amazing since it dislikes SCSI greatly).

Rene Derek Ragona wrote: I believe it is more incompatibilities with older BIOS and SCSI BIOS, etc. I have an older MB that won't boot the SCSI CD.

AMD64 and NPX
Hi, maybe it´s a stupid question, but this is my first time with FreeBSD 6 on AMD64. Why can´t a make device npx work with my custom kernel? I´ve done it several times when using Intel I386. I´ve noticed it doesn´t exist on GENERIC or NOTES, but I couldn´t find why. I get config: Error: device "npx" is unknown The only information I could obtain said that my system wouldn´t even boot if device npx wasn´t in my configuration file. And the handbook says it´s mandatory. Well, it does work, and all seems ok. Is device npx not needed on a kernel built for FreeBSD 6 AMD64?

Unfortunately I can't help with the current problem because I used the controller with Highpoint's binary-only driver that let the array appear as da0 instead of ar0.

Re: Does FreeBSD have problems with SCSI CD-drives ??
I believe it is more incompatibilities with older BIOS and SCSI BIOS, etc. I have an older MB that won't boot the SCSI CD. This is really problematic as the system will boot the floppies, but cannot after booting, find the boot device. I have to mount the cd and update from the mounted cd. Once I have the system loaded on the hard drive it is fine.

Yes, it just means "operation did not complete within the arbitrarily chosen time period", and by itself it doesn't mean there exists any further problem. If the operation didn't complete because the drive threw it away, has bad blocks, etc, that would be a problem. In your case it's likely to just be the slow disk.

Re: shared irqs and freebsd
Shared irq's are a hardware and motherboard issue, not a operating system issue. You have to be able to setup your hardware NOT to use shared IRQ's if you can. This has been a problem on PC's since the first IBM PC rolled out, and still continues today. That is why special multiport cards were created to manage multiple resources on a single card/interrupt. In the dark ages that meant multiple port serial cards to run terminals on, etc. -Derek At 10:29 AM 2/28/2006, gahn wrote: Hi: How goes FreeBSD deal with shared irqs?

Re: Help Sun Blade 1000
Sparcs are a bit different. A sparc will boot from tape, CD-ROM, net, floppy, hard drive, pretty much and device. However, you have to boot from the right record or slice, etc on the media. Setting the boot device in the prom won't guarantee a boot from that device, only that it will try that device as the default. Sparcs are fussy about what they will boot, you can try booting right from the prom. If you have the ok prompt you can type boot cdrom You get more control in the prom's old mode where you can type b sd(0,6,0) to boot from a SCSI CD at id 6 As I said the sparcs are fussy, and may not boot if your cd is not burned correctly (depending on what software you used to make the image.) You can google for more information on booting the sparc, there are other UNIX's that do boot on these, so I know it should be possible. You may have to keep trying. -Derek At 09:41 AM 2/28/2006, Scott Einuis wrote: Hi People, I've been using FreeSBD for years on x386 machines, and just yesterday someone gave me a Sun Blade (Ultra-Sparc III) machine with an external SCSI CD-ROM.

Actually ports and docs *are* tagged (but not branched) for releases. The release tags for ports are on the form RELEASE_X_Y_Z, so the to get the ports tree that shipped with 5.4-RELEASE you would use RELEASE_5_4_0 The ports tree is not branched however, so the tags only mark the ports tree as it was at one particular point in time. If there are multiple versions of a program out in the wild, then normally only the latest (reasonably stable) version will be in the ports tree, but there are cases were several version live side by side in ports tree (usually because the different versions of the program are not compatible, and some programs depend on one version, while some depend on another.) -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Help Sun Blade 1000
Hi People, I've been using FreeSBD for years on x386 machines, and just yesterday someone gave me a Sun Blade (Ultra-Sparc III) machine with an external SCSI CD-ROM. It has Solaris 8 pre-installed. My questions are.. Should I keep Solaris 8 or install FreeBSD? And Since I tried to install FreeBSD already and failed, how do I get the Sun Machine to boot from the CD I created for SPARC boot only? I tried using the eeprom command and changing the boot device to "cdrom" and and I also tried the init 0 thing however when I probe-scsi nothing comes up. Any help would be appreciated.

FreeBSD 5.4 & 6.0 slow network throughput
I have upgraded my home "server" to 5.4 from 5.2.1 and after some time I've noticed that network throughput is very low (about 4MB/s). I'm not expert on this field but I have checked some settings (sysctl, netstat) and couldn't find anything suspicious. I have second machine with almost same configuration so I tried to put there newer version of FreeBSD 6.0 but it doesn't help. Now I've tried older version - 4.11 (only one I have available at this moment on CD) and speed is as it is supposed to be (8-9MB/s). Does somebody has same experience with such behaviour ? I've used "clean" systems ie. without kernel modifications and I don't know what could cause this (some major change in TCP stack in 5.4+ ? NIC drivers ?). Test system: P4, 1.8Ghz, 512MB RAM with Intel EtherExpress 100 & Realtek Gigabit NIC (fxp & rl) FBSD 5.4/6.0: - avarage net thrput 3.5 - 4.5 MB/s (tested with FTP/Samba) - netperf reports about 31-34 mbit/s with default settings FBSD 4.11: - avarage net thrput 7.5 - 9 MB/s - netperf reports about 65-66 mbit/s Testing was done over 100mbit linksys switch, 1Gbit USR switch, crosslink cable.

No it doesn't. The script(1) utility interposes a pseudo-terminal between the program whose output is to be captured and itself, so the program thinks its running on a terminal device and behaves accordingly. Then script(1) acts like a transparent filter, shuttling data back-and-forth from the actual terminal to the pseudo-terminal, while sending a copy of the program's output to the log file as well. It is the terminal driver in canonical mode, "inside" the pseudo-terminal, that is expanding NLs in the proggy's output stream into CRNL pairs. -- James Bailie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.jamesbailie.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes, thanks Kris. Sorry for the buildworld/installworld confusion. I meant right before 'make installworld'. There are cases where 'installworld' will try to chown files to a newly added system account (i.e. `_dhcp'), but will fail, leaving a half-installed system if you don't run ``mergemaster -p'' before ``installworld''. This is why I suggested *avoiding* a scripted, unattended build and install cycle, until the OP who started this thread is comfortable that his builds and installs are indeed going to succeed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Problem w/ xcb - no display of selected text
Recently, xcb 2.4 has stopped displaying the selected text. Whenever i would have selected text on xterm w/ right mouse click, text would show in a xcb buffer. Now i do not see it. A ktrace shows that it can see the selection just fine. It was working just fine w/ Xorg 6.8.2 & fvwm 2.5.15, and FreeBSD 6.0 (at least before or until Feb 3 2006 source); current version is 6.1-PRERELEASE (around Feb 24), running fvwm 2.5.16. I am sorry to say i did not note exactly when xcb had begun behaving erratically. Please let me know if you would any other information to help me solve the problem of invisible text in xcb. - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

For example this: net/vnc2swf Vnc2swf is a recording tool for VNC. It records VNC sessions and generates a Flash movie file (SWF). It can be used as an X11 recorder or a Windows desktop recorder.

capturing a desktop demonstration as a movie

It's FreeBSD 6.0 Release, and I've installed samba/cups on it, with nothing else on it. I'm not seeing any particular errors in syslog or in dmesg, except when I try to connect to via putty from my Windows boxen. Then it says: sshd: fatal: timeout before authentication from 192.168.11.63 Can you ssh from one of your other FreeBSD boxes to this box? If not then try "ssh -v -v -v" which may point you in the right direction. If it's just Windows which can't login, then try running sshd in debug mode and see if that tells you anything. from man sshd -d Debug mode. The server sends verbose debug output to the system log, and does not put itself in the background. The server also will not fork and will only process one connection. This option is only intended for debugging for the server. Multiple -d options increase the debugging level. Maximum is 3. If none of that shows anything useful, then maybe you have some network level problem. Does any kind of connection from Windows work? E.g. Samba shared drive? Ftp? Or even (for testing only) telnet, since putty does that too? If it's a network level problem, then some more info about your topology might be helpful.
