firefox2 - core dump
Hello everybody, After last upgrade of Firefox, it dumps core when I run it. I am not sure, but the problem might be caused by the additional optimization that I enabled during configuration. Now, my attempt to portupgrade -f firefox results in Found saved configuration - I cannot change this option. Maybe, someone could advise me on how to do it properly? Where is this saved configuration? Should it be deleted? Or I can give some options to portupgrade to ignore it? Many thanks in advance.

mysql in production on freebsd 6.1 ???
I need feedback from users with mysql 5.0.x (or even 4.1.x) in production on SMP systems. X86_64 Opteron is my platform. I have heard rumors of it not scaling and it crashes and odd errors Have these been worked out in the latest releases of freebsd and mysql? Any thoughts on this topic may help me substantially. If you cannot provide info publicly, private replies are fine...I just need some production level feedback. thanks, ke han ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: /var corrupted.....
couldn't you do something like this?
1) install all your big ports (leafs with lots of dependancies)
2) run this to get a list of depedancy ports which should already be
there, just not in /var/db/pkg
# pkg_info -ar | awk '/Dependency:/ {print $2}'|sort|uniq
3) install these ports so that they get added to /var/db/pkg.
Seems like this should work, am I missing something?

I've seen plenty of threads from folks having lost theirs in some form

Well, ok... sounds like a PITA, but how hard can it really be. I only
had 30-40 apps installed anyway. With their deps it weighs in around
350 ports total. So I started to do just that. Figured I'd reinstall
in the order I originally installed in the first place. Starting with
Xorg. I go to the port dir and `make install`, thinking it would
reinstall it and all its deps. No go. It does in fact reinstall Xorg,
but none of its deps because it finds them present. Reinstalling 30-40
apps is one things, having to manually go in and do 350... now thats a
PITA!
You might be able to force mount the dirty filesystem via
mount -f
You can also try
dd if=/dev/ad0s1d of=some_dang_file_name*
And then using mdconfig to play with the resulting file.
mdconfig -t vnode -f some_dang_file_name -u 0 \
mount -f /dev/md0c /mnt (maybe?)
If you can get the /var/db/pkg dir off nicely, good luck.
Thanks. Good ideas. I'll play with this when I have time. But after
using mtree to recreate the structure in /var (off the / filesystem),
things came back online pretty well. I'll most likely get things put
back together and then just recreate the /var filesystem and copy
everything back into it.
*(Note that this could take a long time on a 1 or 2G /var
as it reads all of the empty blocks as well, you might want
to hand it a bs= and a count= if you know about how much
of /var was full at the time, man dd for more details. Also
note that I have had faster results using sdd from ports)
I had a similar problem a while back and both methods
were able to read some of the data from the former /var,
however the /var/db/pkg directory was trashed and I ended
up having to fall back on the reinstall everything method.
My method ended up consisting of:
1) reinstalling portupgrade
2) reinstalling several high level programs (opera, mplayer,
gnumeric, any window managers, so on)
3) pkgdb -F which one at a time reinstalls everything depended
on. Make sure you have backups of any important files in
/usr/local/etc as they may get overwritten.
I'm presently doing this now. I have reinstalled most, if not all, top
level ports and will be running through `pkgdb -F` tomorrow. I suspect
that will take a fair amount of time.
Thanks.

I think the above would work just as well. The only difference I see is
that `pkgdb -F` is automating step 3 for me. It's determining what
dependencies are not present, and asking if I would like to install
them. This way, for example, I do not have to determine where
vte-0.14.1_1 resides and cd in there, and make it... then on to the
next.. etc.
Thanks.

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.

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. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 5.5 Dell 2950 PERC 5/i mfi question
Hi, We have a requirement to run FreeBSD 5.5 on a few Dell 2950's. Unfortunately FreeBSD5.5 doesn't have the mfi drivers for the PERCK 5/I controllers. Does anyone know of a reasonable work around to load the drivers before sysinstall and then a way to permanently install them after the OS is loaded? I know FreeBSD6.x has the drivers by default but I just wanted to check if there was an easy work around with 5.5 before I push back on the developers. Thanks a ton.

Problem with ICH4 fxp driver and FreeBSD 6
Hi all, I am encountering a strange problem compiling a kernel for a MS-6557 mainboard (a Hermes 845GV) with Intel845GV Chipset. Everything is OK with the GENERIC 6.0 Kernel; but as soon as I install a self compiled kernel (6.0 or 6.1), I get fxp driver timeouts. On loading the if_fxp.ko module (+miibus.ko) the driver is recognised and the interface is configured correctly, but as soon as network traffic is generated, I get the fxp driver timeout message (and hence bo network connectivity ;-( No other error messages apear and every other bit of hardware seems to be recognised and ok. I suspect resource problems (like IRQ), but I am vague about PCI and IRQ settings. I have tried a kernel with all unneccessary hardware deactivated (usb, firewire) but to no avail. Can anyone give me some hints, about how to get about? I am glad to give detailed information about kernel and system configuration.

(Unless you used the bios console direction at 9600 bps) Right, and the Dell PE uses com 2, or com1 (when properly counting from 0), ah la 0x2F8 which is logically connected to a serial port on the DRAC5 via the daughterboard connection. And that's where Dell, Intel, and Phoenix went totally wrong. Another big problem with mixing hard and soft serial console redirection (at least with FreeBSD) is that kernel panic/trap message output doesn't always make it to the serial console (such as UVM faults), where with VGA console you almost always get the message. This killed us several times with FBSD 5.3 and some NFS bugs. Plus when you're doing serial console redirection, your console server has to be configured to be connected 100% of the time and log output to a file. If you get a panic and need to connect on-demand, you'll have missed that message to the buffer otherwise. With the Real Weasel, you could connect on demand and force a screen refresh/redraw and it would grab the current VGA framebuffer and re-write to the TTY. --- The only macro keys you get with Dell are: Press the spacebar to pause...

So far I did not find out something that can be put in /etc/rc.conf. Apart from the very good suggestions already made, you might like to consider using SSH to automatically invoke an instance of the subversion server each time one of your developers needs to do something on the repository. This gives you the benefit of having your sessions encrypted on the wire, and allows you to use an existing user base. It also means, like starting svnserve from inetd, that you don't need to worry about explicitly starting it or having a largely quiescent daemon hanging around. (This latter point very much depends on the level of activity you expect to see on your server, of course). It takes a little more work to get it working smoothly, but I find it a very handy way of going about it. The excellent Subversion book has much more information.

The drac [345] Cards actually hook into or present a new vga adapter to the system (this can be seen as an ati chipset on the drac 4 pci addin cards) They also present a soft keyboard an mouse to the system via a set of usb devices. If you also use the bios console redirection the bios is sent to the configured serial port. FreeBSD fully supports the dell drac [345] cards (at least RELENG_6 does which i guess means 7 does), I have a largs number of these cards working perfectly in production. Using the drac web interface you can send the system a scroll lock and scroll back the system console as if you where using the physical console. So there is no need to be conected all of the time. On a side note it is advisable to put (device kbdmux) into your kernel if you want to use both the physical console and the drac console access, otherwise the usb devices provided by the drac disable the physical keyboard. If you have DRAC cards in you dell systems I would recomend the console access in them over serial port redirection as it is much simpler to setup.

1000 user_hz or hz Values in FreeBSD 6.1 (AMD64)
Hello all!, I have a quick question. I know these options are prevelent in Linux* Operating Systems. It's been a while since I used Freebsd. Last night I installed FreeBSD 6.1 (AMD64). For certain reasons, I need the FreeBSD kernel to achieve 1000 Hertz. Most linux OS's default at 250 and in order to change it the kernel needs to be recompiled. Does this work the same way for FreeBSD 6.1? If someone could show me how to adjust the values to 1000Hertz that would be great. PS. I have another quick question. I am running AMD64 because I have a 64 bit system. It's Dual Intel Xeons 64 bit. In the kernel it shows AMD64 as machine type, and HAMMER as cpu_type. I assume hammer stands for clawhammer/sledgehammer core found in AMD cpus. Because im using Intel Xeons should this value be changed? I am unsure what to use for the cpu type in the kernel.

firefox 2.0 and flash 7
Good day all. I am running 5.5 RELEASE and I have just upgraded Firefox from 1.5 to 2.0. Flash 7 was working very well under 1.5, however after upgrade it didn't. Moreover, flash doesn't appear anymore in the about:plugins. Has anyone had a similar experience and was able to resolve it?

FreeBSD 6.1 and Counter-Strike: Source Server (SRCDS)
Hello all (again) I just e-mailed the list before and recieved a response on my last question however I have one more problem (which seems to be the biggest for me). I am trying to run a Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server off FreeBSD 6.1. I previously had it running fine with CentOS but because BSD needs linux binaries and such, i have run into a problem. First off I'd like to say that I already installed linux_base8 (or so i think) and have enabled it in rc.conf. I installed the source dedicated server files using hldsupdatetool (steams client) NOT the one provided by /use/ports/games/linux-steam. I found that the steam client in freebsd ports seems a bit outdated since steam doesnt use email and logins anymore to install/update steam server files. There used to be a problem with the hldsupdatetool which forced people to use the steam update tool in the ports collection but I believe thats been fixed now because i ran it without any problems (unless theres something i dont know). In any event to make a long story short, when I try to run srcds, it gives me an error and refuses to run. For all those gameserver people out there and GSP's do you think you could lend a hand? I know quite a few gameservers providers that run their source servers on freebsd. Maybe im doing something wrong. Could someone walk me through how to get source up and running starting from scratch on everything I need to do/install in order for source to work?

Re: Apache log rotation question...
At 5:02 AM +0900 11/4/06, Curtis Jewell wrote: My question really is, does newsyslog send the signal at the right time [after the rotation is done, per http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#rotation ] and does it do the lines in order???) You can see what it will do by running newsyslog with the options of `-nv' to see what it would do, without it doing anything. Eg: newsyslog -nvvf /tmp/newsyslog.conf In your case you'd first want to use a different time in the entries you've added, just so the time to rotate is this hour (ie, whatever hour it is that you're running the program...). So, do that, and then run: newsyslog -nvf /tmp/newsyslog.conf You'll see that it first rotates all files that should be rotated for this run, then sends all signals it is supposed to send, then waits 10 seconds or so, and finally it compresses any of the old-files that it should compress. If you have a set of files which are all written to by a single process, then you should add the '/var/run/httpd.pid' to the newsyslog entry for *every* file that process writes to. The way newsyslog handles things, it will only send a single signal to any given process id, even if several different files from that process were rotated. Since all files have been rotated before the process is signalled, the process will only need to be signalled one time. Try the run with '-nv' to see exactly how it would work. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Eric Schuele writes:
How can I force a reinstall of a port and all its deps.
The port itself will handle anything above.
Well, that's what I had thought would happen, but the port does not seem
to re-register the dependencies. It simply notes that they are present,
and builds and registers the port I have attempted to `make install`. So
for example if I go to /usr/ports/www/firefox, and `make install` it. I
only end up with firefox in my /var/db/pkg folder. None of its deps
appear.
As for things below ... you're pretty much hosed. If the pkg
db (or equivalent) existed, it would know which ports had been
installed and could rebuild things.
Without the pkg db, the only record of what _should_ be
installed is in your head.
Have you tried sysutils/portmanager?
From the man page:
Determines ports that are out of date by comparing them to Makefiles
downloaded through cvsup into the ports tree
So it looks like it doesn't require /var/db/pkg to work.
-p or --pristine
Updates a port if any dependency in it's /var/db/pkg/{port
name}/+CONTENTS does not match what is installed. The effect
is when
a port is updated, any port who uses the updated port in it's
depen-
dency chain, no matter how deep, are rebuilt. Normally only
ports one
level up are rebuilt.
This looks like it rebuilds /var/db/pkg
You also probably need -f if your ports are up-to-date
I haven't tried it in these particular circumstances and I'm not sure if
I've read the man page right but it's worth a try, it's a pretty clever
utility.
Note if you try it on a single port you have to put the options after
the port name, see the EXAMPLES section. Also see my recent question
about portmanager and /tmp if you are rebuilding lots of ports in one
session.

Yes.. this is now painfully obvious to me. I guess in some way I had
thought the pkg db, was simply a convenience. But I now realize it is
*the authority* on what is installed on your machine. While I do plan
to back it up from now on... I have added the two small scripts to my
toolbox as well.
I alias the following as port_install
#!/bin/sh
#
# Used to create a log file of things I have installed on a machine
#
make install clean \
printf `pwd`\t\t\t`date`\n /root/maint/install/port_install.log
and the following as port_deinstall (mind the word-wrap).
#!/bin/sh
#
# Used to create a log file of things I have installed on a machine
#
SCRIPT_DIR=/root/maint/install
grep -v `pwd` $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log $SCRIPT_DIR/port_deinstall.log
rm $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log
mv $SCRIPT_DIR/port_deinstall.log $SCRIPT_DIR/port_install.log
make deinstall
Then I have a list of top level apps that *I* have installed. I am
using the above today, as I am reinstalling all top level apps. :)
On the other hand, if you remeber
certain leaf ports installing them will drag in most of the
infrastructure. (My candidates: OpenOffice, Firefox, Apache,
something involving Java. GIMP.) It will still take time, but
within limits you can just let it run.
A scenario for the future: my /var/db/pkg has ~620 entries, and
totals just over 62mb. Building a tarball took less than a minute
and ate another 60mb. Might be a sound investment.
yeah... I have already added /var/db/pkg to my backup scripts. I backup
a bunch of system stuff every time I buildworld. I just wasn't getting
that.
Thanks.

Copying to external USB2 disk causes panic

Last Sept, I ran a simple groff script against this: \f[HR] This is a test line using Helvetica Roman .br \f[BlackChancery] .br This is another line of text in BlackChancery. .br It should output the first line in Helv; the second in BlackChancery. Now, whatever I do, the entire postscript file is in Helvetica. gross prints the stderr message: Can't find 'BlackChancery'. Is there a way of fixing this locally? If not, what exactly do I need to move to the /usr/share/groff_font/devps directory? Anybody? thanks, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
