php5-gd-5.2.5_1, and rrdtool-1.2.26)?


I am not sure what your asking... if your asking do you need png for 
phpMyAdmin the short answer is no... the long answer is yes because if 
you want to maintain the ports it depends on then they need png.


Portupgrade uses an external DB (not the same one as pkg_* uses) and 
this is the one that pkgdb maintains.   Which means that until you run 
pkgdb portupgrade will use the "old" depends... now if you not using 
portupgrade this is not an issue but since you are you need to make sure 
the two are in sync.



That being said once you answered yes/all to "Delete this?" then any 
mention of the depend in pkgdb will be removed and if you had already 
done a make deinstall or pkg_delete then your fine all the way around 
(and by definition you already have because you will not get that 
question unless the port/package doesn't exist in the /var/db/pkg hierachy)

Thank you Mel and Paul for the suggestions.  From what I understand the
general query log is more for debugging and the binary log is for point
in time recovery and replication.  I'll be adding a my.cnf file (using
the my-large.cnf as a skeleton) soon.  I'm glad the issue was caught
earlier on and now I'm the wiser thanks to you guys.  I wonder why the
default is no. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't find the binary
logging beneficial.

I can think of a reason for FreeBSD. The binary logs are never deleted
and upon every server restart a new one is created. If you're like me,
developing on a laptop with a webenvironment including 'Mysql server',
shutting down your laptop daily, you quickly find yourself having full
/var partition.

That can be alleviated by adding the logs to newsyslog.conf and gzipping
and rotating them regularly.
If you don't restart mysql much, something like this would work:

/var/db/mysql/[hostname]-bin.*mysql:mysql  660  7 *  $W6D0 JBG
/var/db/mysql/[FQHN].pid

If you're restarting it daily, something like this should work:

/var/db/mysql/[hostname]-bin.*mysql:mysql 660 25 * $D0  JBG
/var/db/mysql/[FQHN].pid

Adjust the counts and the rotation schedule to your liking and, of course,
use your own hostname and fully qualified hostname.


Ummm... actually this is not a particularly good idea.  MySQL keeps an internal
list of all the binlogs it has available, and doing this will break that.  The
best method is to cron a script that will run eg.

   PURGE MASTER LOGS BEFORE DATE_SUB( NOW( ), INTERVAL 7 DAY);

for whatever interval suits you.  binlogs can absorb a lot of space for very
little return, especially on a busy server.  There's really no point in keeping
binlogs from before the earliest full database dump in your backup cycle,
and even keeping that many is probably a little OTT for most purposes.

You are regularly dumping the database aren't you?

Yes, in this particular case it can, not changing hostnames is a plus then (as 
in, getting hostname from your dhcp server) ;)
Actually, I think you can use a fixed name, but it's been a while since I 
looked at the bin-log related variables.


However if you're using the bin-log, to recover accidental deletes or 
replications, then you need to use the mysql provided SQL commands for it. 
It's scriptable (periodic/crontab), but not for use in newsyslog.




MySQL recommends that you use a fixed name for binary logs nowadays.
mysql-bin.NNN typically.  The reasoning seems to be that it makes it
easier to deal with replication -- although relay logs are all still labeled
by the hostname of the master server.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: TERM

Hi Alexus,

>  server?

probably, yes. I guess that your client sets the TERM variable to
something FreeBSD doesn't understand correctly. The settings in
TERMINFO aren't neccessarily the same on all platforms, let alone the
fact that some aren't available at all. There's for example "linux"
which I've seen to be the default in some terminals but doesn't work
on non Linux-systems of course.
"xterm" seems to be available everywhere, but doesn't contain the same
binding on all platforms. Solaris for example lacks color support on
some other bindings I've forgotten.
"vt100" should be fine everywhere (but might miss a few features).
You can try several TERM settings in one session by assigning the
proper value to this variable, respectively.

If you found one that suits your needs you can save this setting on
the client side, because its the client that sends the Terminfo to be
used to the server.

I'm not sure but it seems that you are trying to use dhcp to receive the
address of DNS-server.

Check the file /etc/resolv.conf ,this file should look like this:

nameserver 10.1.2.3
nameserver 10.4.5.6

mailcap documentation?

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Hello all,

There's apparently an RFC-standard file called /etc/mailcap (as well as 
.mailcap), but I can't find any docs on this file.


Would it be worthwhile to rework the RFC into a manpage (I am willing to 
do it), or should I bother the providers of ports that use it (such as, 
say, alpine (and possibly others)?  The problem is, they likely don't 
bundle it because other OSes have it already.


It's a fairly standard file, but FreeBSD doesn't ship with an MUA that 
uses it (I *think*).  I know mail(1) does not.

Re: ACPI can only be compiled into the kernel on the amd64 and ia64 platforms

[alexus]

like i said i copy GENERIC

dd# pwd
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf
dd# grep -i acpi GENERIC
dd#

my GENERIC doesn't have acpi either...

as far as "weird" part goes, this is a plain vanila
FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE, I'm not sure what you mean by "weird" or i386
part, all I did is cp GENERIC dd then vi dd, then config dd and then
tried compiling and it threw me an error right away.

Your client. IIRC, secureCRT had an option to bind keys to a different 
combination. But it's been a while.
ctrl-a for HOME and ctrl-e for END should work, regardless of client.

You removed device acpi and shouldn't have done that.
Also, your build system looks weird.
What is compile/dd, why are you compiling under i386 when your system is 
detected as amd64 or ia64, why is MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX pointing to a directory 
below the source tree, rather then a directory outside the source tree.
In other words, not enough info (aside from the missing question).

That would typically start with send-pr, so devs know there's a problem. 
Looking at the dmesg posted by Troels, I would include an acpi dump.

Yes, in this particular case it can, not changing hostnames is a plus then (as 
in, getting hostname from your dhcp server) ;)
Actually, I think you can use a fixed name, but it's been a while since I 
looked at the bin-log related variables.

However if you're using the bin-log, to recover accidental deletes or 
replications, then you need to use the mysql provided SQL commands for it. 
It's scriptable (periodic/crontab), but not for use in newsyslog.

Re: HDD missing from sysinstall

[Cameigons]

I just want to say I'm having the same problem. I have an asus p5n-e SLI, two
seagate 250GB sata2 HD's. 

When trying to install FreeBSD 7.0-Release, the sysinstall pops up the
message "No Disks Found!(...)". And after that I can't boot up neither my
Win Xp, Linux or Freebsd 6.2 anymore... 

Has anyone figured out a solution yet? :/

Another minor problem was that I was unable to run sysinstall with my usb
keyboard, got stuck right at the region choice window.

I can think of a reason for FreeBSD. The binary logs are never deleted and
upon every server restart a new one is created. If you're like me, developing
on a laptop with a webenvironment including 'Mysql server', shutting down
your laptop daily, you quickly find yourself having full /var partition.



That can be alleviated by adding the logs to newsyslog.conf and gzipping and 
rotating them regularly.

If you don't restart mysql much, something like this would work:

/var/db/mysql/[hostname]-bin.*mysql:mysql  660  7 *  $W6D0 JBG 
/var/db/mysql/[FQHN].pid


If you're restarting it daily, something like this should work:

/var/db/mysql/[hostname]-bin.*mysql:mysql 660 25 * $D0  JBG 
/var/db/mysql/[FQHN].pid


Adjust the counts and the rotation schedule to your liking and, of course, use 
your own hostname and fully qualified hostname.

I can think of a reason for FreeBSD. The binary logs are never deleted and 
upon every server restart a new one is created. If you're like me, developing 
on a laptop with a webenvironment including 'Mysql server', shutting down 
your laptop daily, you quickly find yourself having full /var partition.

People running dedicated or semi-dedicated MySQL installations, are encouraged 
to tweak their installation anyway. The most common ones being:
- put the binary logs on a large enough disk, if possible a seperate disk
  all together for performance.
- by default, /tmp is used for temporary sorting tables, when JOINs demand it.
  If that's a small partition or worse a 64MB memory disk, expect to get in
  trouble, system wide. Use the tmpdir configuration variable.
- thread_concurrency as indicated in the templates
- skip-networking for security if all traffic is local
- sort and key buffer + max_connections to limit/max out memory usage.

By default they end up in /var/db/mysql and are named $hostname-bin.###
Also, the information you read online is incorrect. By default, binary
logging 
(which are the transaction logs) is disabled. I don't recall whether this is

a FreeBSD port specific modification.

You can turn it on by putting a my.cnf in /var/db/mysql. Templates named 
my-$size.cnf are in /usr/local/share/mysql and are well-commented.

I take it you tried myisamchk?

Recovering mysql data - mysqlbinlog

[John Vaughan]

Can someone direct me to where the MySQL transaction logs are stored?
I am running FreeBSD 6.1 with MySql 5.0.41 which I installed from
ports, no extra config.  From what I've read online, unless you
disable them (which I couldn't find in the makefile) the logs should
be being created.  Doing a find / --name "bin." Didn't turn up
anything.

I'll also note that it is not in var/db/mysql with the rest of the
mysql data files and the ib_logfiles which would have been useful, but
the data I am trying to recover is from a MyISAM.

Thanks for the help!

By default they end up in /var/db/mysql and are named $hostname-bin.###
Also, the information you read online is incorrect. By default, binary logging 
(which are the transaction logs) is disabled. I don't recall whether this is 
a FreeBSD port specific modification.

You can turn it on by putting a my.cnf in /var/db/mysql. Templates named 
my-$size.cnf are in /usr/local/share/mysql and are well-commented.

I take it you tried myisamchk?

1.  Wait until the PHP port gets updated.
2.  OR, uninstall portaudit and throw all sheets to the wind.
3.  OR, read the appropriate manpage for either ports(7) or portaudit
and determine how to override the portaudit check.  I've not

Well, I'd certainly love to see how you've set things up. We could
compare with what I've published on my wiki. The documentation is not
finished, but it's a start. I'd really appreciate if people could
check it out and tell me where the document could be enhanced, if I
made any mistakes, things like that. Check it out here:

http://wiki.zerocatastrophe.com/wiki/UNIX/FreeBSD/Kerberos+OpenLDAP

Notice that I've updated my documentation to reflect your LDIF data as
I believe it to be the very flexible. Thanks!

I know that Edward Capriolo (in Cc: to this email) has also published
some Kerberos & OpenLDAP documentations online. Edward, care to join
us here?

Thanks for responding.  I used CVSUP to update the source.  This system is
actually a restore from another server that I dumped from.  The original
server worked just fine (I tried it as an experiment).  This is the only
issue I have seen on the restored server so far.  I just did a binary
upgrade and am now rebuilding all of the ports from scratch.  I will do as
you suggested when that is done (rm -rf /usr/src/) and start from scratch.
 I thought the fact that the compile failed was really strange.  I have
never seen that before.

Just for the record, I asked because by default, dmesg uses kvm_read(3) to 
read the kernel's message buffer. -M tries to read the sysctl kern.msgbuf, so 
in the event kvm_read screwed up somewhere without noting an error, 
the 'backdoor' might just work. Pure speculation without having looked in 
detail at the kernel code, but I wanted to rule it out. What I did suspect, 
is that kernel's message buffer didn't get filled to begin with and that's a 
whole different ballgame.

FYI: unless you really need dmesg to work for normal operations, you could've 
just let it up running and use scroll-lock+arrows/pgup|down to go all the way 
back up to btx loader. If it was the kernel message buffer not getting 
filled, I'd suspect some kind of message complaining about that.
I know that doesn't help now, but for next time and googlers ;)

I will certainly keep an eye on this and see if I can reproduce
this in any fashion.  If anyone else sees this phenomena (even
transiently), I would love to know about it.

Andrew.

Yes (to distributions, no to ports), but you have to upgrade by source 
to -STABLE to begin with, unless you want to go the hard way and bake a new 
CD/DVD.

The handbook has an entire section for this:

7.0-RELEASE + newer kernel

[Anselm Strauss]

So, I'm one of those trying to run FreeBSD on one of the newest  
Macbooks. The hardware support looks very good, except that the  
network chips are not supported. But the Ethernet chip is supported by  
the msk driver in the current 7.0-STABLE kernel. Now, before I push  
the whole system from RELEASE to STABLE, is there some chance I can  
stay with 7.0-RELEASE and just use a new version of the msk module  
with the release kernel?


I compiled the miibus.ko and if_msk.ko modules from a stable kernel,  
but the latter complains about an undefined symbol 'm_collapse' at  
loading. This symbol is defined in sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c, so I think I  
have bad chances running the new driver on the old kernel.


The reasons why I hesitate to upgrade to 7.0-STABLE are:

- freebsd-update won't work anymore. How do I then get informed about  
security updates?
- Can't install distributions with sysinstall anymore. Do I just  
compile everything from source?
- How do I actually update from release to stable? I have to compile  
everything myself from the sources, right? As well as for any update?


Thanks for any suggestions,
Anselm

gdm sessions - xfce + fluxbox

[Aijaz Baig]

Hello,

I would want to have a choice at login time between xfce (my default desktop
wm) and fluxbox. I have followed the steps from this document :
http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/06/freebsd-fluxbox-gdm.html

but i did not have the xsessions directory under /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/.

so i created one and created another file called Fluxbox.desktop inside it.
Then followed the rest of the document as is.  Additionally I copied the
startfluxbox binary to the ~/.Xclients file under the binary for xfce.

What has happened now is that I still dont see no choice under the sessions
menu in gdm morever i get logged on to xfce first.

Now when I log on from xfce I get logged on to fluxbox meaning the fluxbox
desktop may be waiting for the x-resources like the screen, mouse etc to
become available and then when it does become available it starts to run.

Im rather confused. Please help me with this and perhaps give me some
insight as to why it is the wa it is if you can

Hope to hear from you fellas

Best Regards,

Aijaz

It's a bit bad choice of words, better would be "previous message repeated 7 
times". So the message that is repeated, is the message directly above it.

Sorry, can't help you with NUT, but it looks like server disconnects are not 
handled correctly and just generate hundreds of messages about stale data, 
rather then refreshing the data.

Nut problem and last message repeated in dmesg

[Olivier GARNIER]

There are my questions:

> Does anyone become to correct the same problem and can help me to correct
this?

> Can anyone tell my how to see the "last message" which is repeated hundred
times?

 

I've got an MGE ellipse 750 USBS.

I've connected it to my server with USB cable.

I've installed NUT via ports.

 

Now this service is crashing very often.

For example it crashes yesterday 23h16, I restarted it and when I watch it
today :

 

# dmesg - a

.

Apr 30 23:12:38 myhost last message repeated 120 times

Apr 30 23:16:28 myhost last message repeated 46 times

dmesg -M doesn't show anything either?
