ImageMagick, Djvu, and Perl-threaded - marked as IGNORE when updating
I'm running another set of updates, and I can't for the life of me get rid of this erroneous behaviour. I run portupgrade and it tells me it can't update ImageMagick because the Djvu option requires threads, and needs perl, therefore perl needs to be threaded. So it comes up with an IGNORE which is nuts because I run threaded perl. #pkg_version -v | grep perl mod_perl2-2.0.4_2,3 = up-to-date with port perl-threaded-5.10.1_3 = up-to-date with port Something I'm missing here? A fix would be nice, I should be used to it though- ImageMagick _always_ has issues for me. I just thought it'd be nice to get it updated for once- it looked so close :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

py26-dbus
While upgrading python to 2.6.x (by following /usr/src/UPDATING and running
'cd /usr/ports/lang/python make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER')
I get the following error msg from devel/py-dbus. Attached is the config

figure it out. /usr/src/UPDATING has nothing specific to py(26)-dbus. Just

groups and login shells
Just spent some time figuring this out. I needed to create a group and add myself to it. But after I added myself to the group while I could id username my username and get the correct groups if I did a base id or groups the new group wouldn't show up. Not could I access a directory restricted to the group. Turns out I needed to invoke a new login shell from an existing command prompt or essentially shut everything down and relogin a the console. So I just reboot. But owning to many years of resentment dealing with Microsoft platform I highly resent reboots. Does anyone know if it's possible to update groups in memory?

Group membership is only set at the beginning of a session; ie at login, so to see any changes, you need to start a new session.

Rebooting is a drastic action on a multi-user server, involving halting and restarting the whole OS and everything running on it. Logging out and back in again is pretty trivial, and only affects your own processes. Very different actions.

Re: randomising tracks: scripting question
How would I go about randomising the order of play using sh (preferably) or perl?

Portmaster general questions and problems
I had been using portupgrade for several years and never had any problems and upgrading ports was quick and simple process every week. But, due to portupgrade no longer being maintained and failing to work anymore, I have switched to using portmaster and am having nothing but problems, so much so that I dread updating my ports. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong or what I don't understand about portmaster. I've looked on google and can't find any documentation that isn't just basic stuff or rehashes of the man pages (which are fine for reference, but not helpful in understanding how to use it). Here is an example of a problem I run into all the time: I went to update php and I got this: === Starting check for runtime dependencies === Gathering dependency list for devel/libltdl from ports === No dependencies for devel/libltdl === Installing for libltdl-2.2.10 === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/libltdl already installed === libltdl-2.2.10 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/libltdl without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/libltdl. ok, so libltdl-2.2.10 is already installed? Why is that an issue? Why doesn't portmaster just happily skip it since it's already installed? What am I not understanding here? Or am I using portmaster wrong? Portmaster also doesn't seem to understand when ports are already up-to-date, so doing this: portmaster php5-* To update all the php5 ports causes portmaster to re-install things that are already up to date. Is this expected behavior? if so, how can I upgrade ports without typing each one my hand. I'd rather not run portmaster with -a since I don't want to blindly update everything. Is there a good tutorial on portmaster somewhere that can help an some get started with it? Is portmaster the best tool for updating ports?

Seems to be no problem, as /usr/src/Makefile states this as the default order: For individuals wanting to upgrade their sources (even if only a delta of a few days): 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). 2. `make buildworld' 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). [steps 3. 4. can be combined by using the kernel target] 5. `reboot'(in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). 6. `mergemaster -p' 7. `make installworld' 8. `make delete-old' 9. `mergemaster' (you may wish to use -U or -ai). 10. `reboot' 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) Of course, after that step, one would drop to single user mode to buildkernel, installkernel, and installworld. No, buildkernel, as all build activities, can be safely performed in multi-user mode. There are just restrictions in when to actually INSTALL built stuff. The kernel can be installed in multi-user mode (but should be okay in single-user mode, too), THEN the reboot into that new kernel is performed, in single-user mode of course, and finally the world is installed in this construction environment. After that, the system is rebooted again to start into multi-user mode again with the fully updated system (kernel AND world). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It's perfectly safe to do 'make buildworld' in multiuser mode, but you have todo 'make installworld' in single user mode booting your newly compiled kernel.

PCI IDE Controller Base Address Register setting
Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 8.0 on AMD Geode LX800 (CS5536 southbridge). However, it cannot detect the IDE controller (in the CS5536) correctly. It says something similar to this: IDE controller not present I did lspci in Linux (BackTrack 3) and I saw that the IDE controller Base Address Registers (BARs) are all disabled (only contains zeros), except for one of them (BAR4). BAR4 decodes 16-bytes I/O ports (FFF0h-h). The decoded ports seems to conform to the PCI IDE specification for native-PCI IDE controller (relocatable within the 16-bit I/O address space). I did cat /proc/ioports and I found that the following I/O port address ranges decoded correctly to the IDE controller in the CS5536 southbridge: 1F0h-1F7h 3F6h 170h-177h FFF0h-h My question: Does FreeBSD require the IDE controller BARs to be programmed to also decode legacy I/O ports ranges (1F0h-1F7h,3F6h and 170h-177h)? What if those ranges are not programmed into the BARs of the IDE controller? Would the IDE controller be considered not present (disabled)? TIA, Darmawan PS: I'm working on the BIOS for this particular system but I have yet to be able to program the BARs to the aforementioned legacy I/O port ranges. This system is very peculiar because the PCI subsystem is virtualized. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

When a port gets built, the ports system looks for and installs any missing dependencies. As several different ports may satisfy a dependency the ports system looks for the functionality, a key executable, library etc, rather than a specific installed package. The error you see can occur when the port thinks it need to install a missing dependency port, but that install fails due to an existing entry in /var/db/pkg. This happens either because the appropriate files are missing or the port is looking for the wrong thing in the first place. It may be due to a mistake by the port maintainer or, more likely, a failure to deal with UPDATING entries correctly. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: pkg_info and an active /usr/ports is slow
Just wondering about the interaction of pkg_info (no args) and having a ports directory. Without it it's blazing fast, with it it is just slow and sometimes just breaks during the listing. There is nothing in the man page about it reading the ports directory or why it would want or need to. Are you sure that this is actually the case? From a cursory look at the source code ( /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/info/* ), I don't see how the mere presence of a populated PORTSDIR could affect pkg_info, at least for the most recent version ( # pkg_info --version Package tools revision: 20101012 ). Of course, if by active you mean that you are in the process of building, installing, or removing a port or package while running pkg_info at the same time, then this obviously would slow down both, because, apart from the usual delays involved in time-sharing, both may be attempting to simultaneously read and/or write to PKG_DBDIR, or other parts of the same disk. It is best to avoid such a situation. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Portmaster general questions and problems
I had been using portupgrade for several years and never had any problems and upgrading ports was quick and simple process every week. But, due to portupgrade no longer being maintained and failing to work anymore, I have switched to using portmaster and am having nothing but problems, so much so that I dread updating my ports. It isn't that portupgrade is completely unmaintained, just that the former author and other contributors are busy, and don't spend as much time on it. And there isn't as much pressure for them to do so, because portmaster can now serve as a replacement for most purposes. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong or what I don't understand about portmaster. I've looked on google and can't find any documentation that isn't just basic stuff or rehashes of the man pages (which are fine for reference, but not helpful in understanding how to use it). This shouldn't be difficult: portmaster isn't a clone of portupgrade, but the command-line options and behavior of the two are similar. Portmaster is actually somewhat easier to use because you don't have to worry about the extra databases that portupgrade uses. The portmaster manpage is fairly well written, and the EXAMPLES section demonstrates most of what the average user will need. Here is an example of a problem I run into all the time: I went to update php and I got this: === Starting check for runtime dependencies === Gathering dependency list for devel/libltdl from ports === No dependencies for devel/libltdl === Installing for libltdl-2.2.10 === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/libltdl already installed === libltdl-2.2.10 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/libltdl without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/libltdl. ok, so libltdl-2.2.10 is already installed? Why is that an issue? Why doesn't portmaster just happily skip it since it's already installed? What am I not understanding here? Or am I using portmaster wrong? Remember that portmaster is just a helper script, and that it relies on the ports infrastructure to perform many tasks, just as portupgrade does. So problems like this may occasionally arise from a problem with portmaster, but more often they are a problem within the ports tree itself. Here you are probably running afoul of the recent autotools changes. Make sure that your entire ports tree is up-to-date, and then read the 20101208 entry in ports/UPDATING and follow the instructions there (or just deinstall all of the old autotools -- the new versions should be automatically installed as needed). You should routinely read the latest entries in ports/UPDATING before updates, as recommended, to avoid these kinds of problems. Portmaster also doesn't seem to understand when ports are already up-to-date, so doing this: portmaster php5-* To update all the php5 ports causes portmaster to re-install things that are already up to date. Is this expected behavior? if so, how can I upgrade ports without typing each one my hand. I'd rather not run portmaster with -a since I don't want to blindly update everything. This is not the expected behavior, and portmaster is designed to avoid the need for most individual updates, and to update as few ports as possible by default. In fact, it's default settings are more conservative in this regard than are those of portupgrade. Are you sure that it is actually doing more than is needed? If you provide build transcripts, and lists of what ports/packages are installed on your machine, then we may be able to see if this is the case. Is there a good tutorial on portmaster somewhere that can help an some get started with it? Is portmaster the best tool for updating ports? Read the portmaster manpage, particularly the EXAMPLES section. Yes, right now portmaster is probably the best choice of updating software for the average user in the Ports tree. I use my own scripts, but then I just want speed, and not all of the portmaster features, and I can fix things when there are problems. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

There are keywords that determine the order of execution, those are especially REQUIRE and PROVIDE. You need to set them in the rc.d/ scripts. For example, the script that has to run first gets the proper PROVIDE setting, the script that depends on the first script - the one that should therefore be started _after_ the previous service is up - gets the REQUIRE keyword. You can see a better explaination in man rcorder. See the rc.d/ files of your services. E. g. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: # PROVIDE: mysql # REQUIRE: LOGIN # KEYWORD: shutdown Depending on the service that mysql requires, you would need to code something like # PROVIDE: bla in this service's startup file, and then add # REQUIRE: bla to mysql's startup file. The correct order of execution is determined automatically by the rcorder mechanism. I'm pretty familiar with Ubunutu and the /etc/rc0-6 but I'm new to FreeBSD FreeBSD does not have this kind of runlevel based startup. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Do I need a xorg.conf to use webfonts?
I installed FreeBSD 8.1, and the xorg package automatically detected my video-card and monitor. I did not have to create an xorg.conf file. If I want to webpages to look better in Firefox, I think I need to install the webfonts package. Section 5.5.2 of the Handbook seems to say I need to modify my xorg.conf to use True Type fonts. Do I need to create an xorg.conf to modify, or does the X server automatically use new TTF fonts? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Does WINE work on FreeBSD amd64 ?
The wiki page seems to say that wine is a 32-bit port, and 32-bit ports do not work well on amd64. This would imply that 32-bit Windows programs would not run on 32-bit wine on a FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 system. Is this a correct interpretation? Does anyone know if there are any plans to get 32 or 64 bit windows programs running under wine on FreeBSD amd64? http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I followed the instructions, and I can get it to play Starcraft and EVE-Online. You just got to make sure that the 32-bit executable is on your path. -- Jonathan Chen j...@chen.org.nz -- Vini, vidi, velcro...

As the wiki suggests, you can use the unofficial wine package at http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/wine/ I've been using it myself for some time now without any issues. You just need to install some lib32 userland libraries that in my system I didn't have. I use Spotify under wine on FreeBSD 8.1 AMD64. Cheers.
