stalled gnome installation

portmanager -s deletes ports?
Hi list, i use # portmanager -s|grep OLD | sort -t: -k2 occasionally to see which ports need upgrading. Ports tree is cvsup'ed each night. Today the above command seemed to take forever and also gave an error message: MGPMrTimer timeout started signal -=14 When i hit ^C i got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] # pkg_delete: unexec command for 'rm -f /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1 /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.gz /usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xset.1.gz.bz2' failed pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is incorrectly specified?)

Whenever you make installkernel from the source tree, it will back up your old kernel and modules in /boot/kernel.old. Alternatively, you can move /boot/kernel to /boot/kernel.bak and move /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel to restore your original kernal and modules, and reboot the machine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Everything works fine, except the cpu throttling, which makes the fan start quite often. Is there any way to fix this? You need to do three things (as root); 1) Load the cpufreq module 'kldload cpufreq'. 2) Put 'powerd_enable=YES' in your /etc/rc.conf 2) Start powerd: '/etc/rc.d/powerd start' Roland Thanks for the hint. I did that, but now xorg constantly uses 20-30% CPU. CPUs were running cooler indeed, but everything ran jerky, because of the xorg cpu usage. Note that i haven't upgraded to 7.2 yet, but i don't think this is the problem. This might not really indicate any problem. Firstly, what are your # sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels Try watching the current cpu speed (dev.cpu.0.freq) while running under powerd. You can watch it shift under various loads by running 'powerd -v' in foreground, show it by running a script sleeping for eg a minute, or use (say) gkrellm with gkfreq plugin to display cpu speed constantly. Point being, if powerd has selected your lowest cpu frequency because load is less than default (or as specified by -i and -r switches) and this is (say) 1/4 of full speed, then something that normally showed 5% cpu will now show as using 20% (of available cpu cycles at that speed) You can tune your powerd idle levels more towards performance, and/or you can set a higher minimum cpu freq with sysctl debug.cpufreq.lowest from among your available levels. powerd's default shiftpoints work on my T23, but it's only a 2-speed :) Cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Chris,
Can you send the errors libGL and Mesa show? (sorry, i don't know the answer
right away... but , FWIW, I had no problem installing the lot... )

Re: freebsd broken after kernel re-compile.
well yesterday I recompiled the kernel again turning on and off some of the options I had previously changed just to see if that what would change. I was able to get both NIC cards up and the routing services on. The problem is that now the card that used to be rl0 is now rl1 and the one that used to be rl1 is now rl0. It doesn't really matter that much since I just had to change the variables in some settings. And everything started working fine. Is there a reason why this happened? why did the system re-asisgn the names of the NICs?

You should be able to boot back up in your old kernel so you can at least get back to your previous working conditions. When you boot the machine, and you see the boot menu, select the option to escape to the loader prompt. Here, 'unload kernel' and 'load /boot/kernel.old/kernel', then 'boot' to start the system. Whenever you make installkernel from the source tree, it will back up your old kernel and modules in /boot/kernel.old. Alternatively, you can move /boot/kernel to /boot/kernel.bak and move /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel to restore your original kernal and modules, and reboot the machine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did that, but now xorg constantly uses 20-30% CPU. CPUs were running cooler indeed, but everything ran jerky, because of the xorg cpu usage. Note that i haven't upgraded to 7.2 yet, but i don't think this is the problem. This might not really indicate any problem. Firstly, what are your # sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels Try watching the current cpu speed (dev.cpu.0.freq) while running under powerd. You can watch it shift under various loads by running 'powerd -v' in foreground, show it by running a script sleeping for eg a minute, or use (say) gkrellm with gkfreq plugin to display cpu speed constantly. Point being, if powerd has selected your lowest cpu frequency because load is less than default (or as specified by -i and -r switches) and this is (say) 1/4 of full speed, then something that normally showed 5% cpu will now show as using 20% (of available cpu cycles at that speed) You can tune your powerd idle levels more towards performance, and/or you can set a higher minimum cpu freq with sysctl debug.cpufreq.lowest from among your available levels. powerd's default shiftpoints work on my T23, but it's only a 2-speed :) Cheers, Ian I suspected this; xorg just reporting to use 20-30% cpu doesn't bother my, what bothers me is the fact that mouse cursor and everything moves jerky. I'll try to raise the min. freq., maybe powerd lowers it too much.. -- Best regards, Ghirai. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alternative keyboard layouts not working with xorg7.2
Hello everyone,
I've had xorg 6.x configured to allow me to switch from US English keyboard to
US English with international support (for accented characters) as follows:
in xorg.conf:
[...]
Section InputDevice
Identifier KeyboardThinkpadZ60M
Driver kbd
Option XkbRules xorg
Option XkbModel inspiron
Option XkbLayout us,us
Option XkbVariant ,intl
Option XKbOptions grp:alt_shift_toggle
EndSection
[...]
and in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard (now under /usr/local/ )
Rules= xorg
Model= inspiron
Layout = us,us
Variant = ,intl
MouseKeysCurve = 0
I use XFCE4.4 as my environment, and both the 'Keyboard Layout Switcher' applet
and the left alt-shift combos would allow me to switch between the 2 modes
flawlessly.
After the upgrade to xorg 7.2, using the same configuration, I noticed several
problems related to the keyboard behaviour, namely:
1) - neither method to change the keyboard layout works.
2) - Several shortcuts that involve the Alt (left) key work either : alt-tab to
cycle through windows, ctrl-alt-arrows to move through desktops.
3) - When launching the application 'skippy' (x11-wm/skippy) or skippy-xd
(x11-wm/skippy-xd), i get :
$ skippy-xd
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource
denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 33 (X_GrabKey)
Serial number of failed request: 75
Current serial number in output stream: 75
This never used to happen before (notice the X_GrabKey error).
I tried a clean keyboard config (only 1 layout) and the problem with the normal
XFCE shortcuts (problem #2) is solved...
I tried creating a separate keyboard using xorgcfg with the 'intl' layout, but
it didnt do what I wanted - problem #2 was still solved, but I couldnt switch
between layouts (which is rather obvious, as they were defined as different
keyboards...)
If anyone could shed some light on this, it'd be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks!
Beto

Hi Chris,
Can you send the errors libGL and Mesa show? (sorry, i don't know the
answer right away... but , FWIW, I had no problem installing the lot... )

It looks like it cannot find ${X11BASE}/include/GL/glut.h. This header
is installed by graphics/libglut port. Check whether
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glut.h exists. In that case update it with
portupgrade -f, and then that header will install in
/usr/local/include/GL/glut.h (check before whether you have
devel/imake-6 port instead of the devel/imake one, as the last one is
the suitable port for Xorg 7.2).

Here's the entire file as it is right now:
# Deny sendmail to all clients (temporary)
sendmail : all : deny
# Allow anything from localhost
all : local ip : allow
# Process SSH deny rules
sshd : /etc/hosts.evil : deny
# Allow everything else
all : all : allow
Once I can get sendmail to block all connection requests, I'll move it
below the second rule. That way, only local processes will be able to
use it. For now, however, that rule is being ignored completely.
Okay. First off, as noted above, /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} are not
sendmail(8) control files. They are tcpd(8) control files.
Secondly, tcpd is normally interposed between inetd(8), which has
essentially no built-in means of deciding whether to accept or reject
TCP connections based upon the source address of the connection request.
Instead of listing a particular program in /etc/inetd.conf as the program
to run to service an incoming connection on a particular port, one lists
the tcpd program and provides *it* the path of the desired service program.
tcpd then looks at /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} to determine whether to close
the connection or to pass it along to the service program.
Third, it is possible to run sendmail in non-daemon mode. If one
does not wish to tie up kernel resources to keep a sendmail process in the
system all the time, for example, one can list sendmail in /etc/inetd.conf
for the SMTP port (25), so that an inbound connection will result in inetd(8)
forking off a sendmail process to handle it. (See man sendmail, and try
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bm IIRC.) It is in this setup *only* that the
/etc/hosts.{allow,deny} files should have any effect whatsoever upon whether
incoming connections are handled by sendmail. N.B. even in this case, it
is tcpd reading those files and making the decisions, *not* sendmail.

FWIW, I just tried to fetch and it's still down. Beech And apparently continues to be so. I guess I'll try again tomorrow. In the meantime, this leaves me wondering if I should try and uninstall imp, and re-install once this server is back. I am under the impression that installing via a package should cause any dependencies of the package to be built with the options the package needs to run (if I'm wrong on this please let me know), so it seems like I may end up chasing dependencies for awhile if I just proceed from where I am right now, since it obviously couldn't build PHP with the options needed for Horde/IMP to work.

Problems with USB drive booting, installing over NFS mount
I've been trying to get a server installed with FreeBSD 6.1 from either a USB CD or floppy, or an NFS mount for nearly a week, with no luck. (The server has no CD-ROM drive or floppy drive, and is SATA-only). When trying to boot from the FreeBSD install CD from a USB CD-ROM drive, or when booting from a boot floppy from a USB floppy drive, at the very start of booting, it starts scrolling a hexadecimal dump, and becomes unresponsive. I've set up a basic FreeBSD server install as a PXE/TFTP/NFS server and have the server booting off that into FreeBSD, but whenever I run sysinstall, I get as far as it extracting the distribution. At the first area, once it gets to 7%, it always errors out, saying that it's lost connection to the NFS mount. It never reestablished the connection and hangs there. Any ideas of anything I can do? This is really getting frustrating.

Re: Spamassassin not working
I have installed Spamaassassin along with amavisd-new to filter spam, but I don't think it is working. I am getting a bunch of spam and spamassassin is not tagging it as spam. I have the score set at 3.0. It worked before on my old box but when I installed it on a new box using the same procedure I used on the old box it is not working. Anyone have any ideas? I have about 1000 of ideas, so we need to narrow down the problem. First thing would be to tell us if SpamAssassin is working at all or not: are the messages tagged by SA but all are under 3.0 or they are not tagged at all? Did you try to run a message throught SA by hand, using the command spamassassin? Are you running SA daemon, do you have spamd running? Did you try to feed a message to spand?

what's up with portsnap?
Hope this hasn't been asked 2^32 times; didn't see anything in the recent archives. What is up with the portsnap servers? I saw the announcement that ports was frozen for the new XOrg blah... blah Is that still the case? Try to fetch and it says: # portsnap fetch Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap3.FreeBSD.org... done. Latest snapshot on server is older than what we already have! Cowardly refusing to downgrade from Thu May 10 10:42:40 EDT 2007 to Mon Apr 16 10:17:39 EDT 2007. And even if it was frozen how did I get to May 10, if it was frozen at Apr 16?! I've ONLY used portsnap, not cvs for updates.

raid or not raid
hi all.. i have a box in a remote hosting facility that claims that the machine has two discs raided in it but df and fstab show only one disc with a bunch of slices. under devices there is another name - ad6 - but it's not mounted anywhere. the one i see both in df and the fstab is ad4 with one big slice and different partitions they insist there are 2 raided discs in tha machine. the os is 5.4 and i think at that point the raid drivers were still considered 'experimental'. it makes sense to me that if i don't see a second drive in the fstab there isn;t any mounting which means that there is no raid going on... is there any other way i can make sure if raid is actually on? would there will be any logs somewhere? the machine has been up for about 2 years and the dmesg is long gone... thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: notebook cpu throttling
On Tue, 22 May 2007 19:35:10 +0300 Ghirai [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [..] I did that, but now xorg constantly uses 20-30% CPU. CPUs were running cooler indeed, but everything ran jerky, because of the xorg cpu usage. [..] Point being, if powerd has selected your lowest cpu frequency because load is less than default (or as specified by -i and -r switches) and this is (say) 1/4 of full speed, then something that normally showed 5% cpu will now show as using 20% (of available cpu cycles at that speed) You can tune your powerd idle levels more towards performance, and/or you can set a higher minimum cpu freq with sysctl debug.cpufreq.lowest from among your available levels. [..] I suspected this; xorg just reporting to use 20-30% cpu doesn't bother my, what bothers me is the fact that mouse cursor and everything moves jerky. I'll try to raise the min. freq., maybe powerd lowers it too much.. Maybe. In one recent example, a 1400MHz box (Thinkpad T42p) had freqs all the way down to 75MHz while still running with 1mS slicing (1000HZ) apparently losing i8254 timer interrupts (when using APM, not with ACPI) powerd(8) in adaptive mode with default settings will lower cpu freq one level whenever the load idle is 90% or more, and raise freq (two levels) whenever idle gets less than 65%. Looks like if you set that to say 75% your xorg alone would kick it up. Of course you must be careful not to set the shiftpoints too close together, or you'll observe oscillation .. again, running 'powerd -v' is useful while you're playing with tuning. Re jerkiness, you might also benefit by decreasing the polling interval (how often powerd checks load average) from 500mS to perhaps half that? I'm kinda interested in these fujitsu-siemens laptops myself, so I'm still keen to see your 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels' please?

I have a freebsd-6.0 server with postfix and mailman running on this machine , (Side remark: You may consider upgrading to 6.2) but I havn't configured spamassasin ,amavisd etc in this box. so I am suffering from spams daily .. To answer both your personnal email and the one to the list, I am not using postfix but sendmail. I am using amavis thourgh amavis-milter, that is a *very* old version of amavis. And I am using SpamAssassin through procmail. The reason I separated both of them is partly historical (at the timeI started with them there was no amavisd-new that could call to SA) and partly philosophical (even if it means expending the atttachments 2 times; on one hand anti-virus is the same configuration for every users, it is a matter of security policy and no user is allowed to change that, so it is checked at transport; spam filtering on the other hand is really a matter of personnal choices, some may have their own rules, etc. so a message could be treated differently for each specific user, so it is checked at delivery).
