libintl.so.4 not found when loading javaplugin in Firebird

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi!

I get this when I start firebird:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared 
library /usr/local/diablo-jre1.3.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
[Shared object "libintl.so.4" not found]

I don't know what it means or whether it's firebird og diablo that's faulty, 
though the javavm seems to work with konqueror.

I deleted every port and cvsup'ed last saturday, so everything should be up to 
date.

So why is java missing libintl.so.4?

Have you tried installing kaffeine or kmplayer? They should be able to play

[samba] can't print from w2k to bsd printer

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi

I've spend several hours trying to get samba to play nice. I can get user to 
login from windows to their bsd-account, mount CD's etc.. But I can't get the 
users to print. I can see the printer and I can install it. But when I click 
on the installed printer I get "access denied". 

I've tried everything, dublicating every smb.conf I could find. Trying out 
every options. None helped. Hope someone here can spot what's wrong.

My setup is a desktop PC running FBSD and a laptop with w2k. These are 
connected through a router. The printer is a laserjet and works great on the 
FBSD.

And I'm a newbie to samba.

/etc/printcap (using fbsd's native lpr):

laserjet|lp|ps|PS|S|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:

/usr/local/etc/smb.conf: (as it looks right now).

  server string = "Samba Server"
  workgroup = WORKGROUP
  security = share
  encrypt passwords = yes
  wins support = yes
  printing = bsd
  printcap name = /etc/printcap
  load printers = yes
  use client driver = no

[printers]
  comment = All printers
  printable = yes
  path = /var/spool/samba
  browseable = no
  public = yes
  read only = yes
  writable = no

[laserjet]
  comment = LaserJet 1200 on FreeBSD
  path = /var/spool/samba
  browseable = yes
  printable = yes
  writable = no
  hosts allow = 192.168.1.
  guest ok = yes

Permission on /var/spool/samba:

drwxrwxrwt  2 root   wheel   512 May  9 21:35 samba

I've tried 2 ways of installing the printer on w2k. 1) Clicking on the 
printericon in the local shares folder and 2) "add new printer" and selecting 
the printer from the network. Both ways gives me "access denied" after 
installation.

Help! ;)

I've managed to "solve" my problems, though I'm not exactly sure on how, and 
it's not perfect yet; ie. it's slow on connecting. But my solution included a 
mixture of medling with my firewall-settings both on the server and windows 
client. And creating a "new" printer in /etc/printcap, that just passes the 
data to the printer (no filters). And perhaps some adjusted samba-setting.

In my firewall (serverside) I opened up to all trafic on port 137-139 and 445 
(I didn't know about port 445 previously).

${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to any 137-139
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to any 445
${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any 137-139
${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any 445
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from ${net}:${mask} to me 137-139
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from ${net}:${mask} to me 445
${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${net}:${mask} to me 137-139
${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${net}:${mask} to me 445
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from me to ${net}:${mask} 137-139
${fwcmd} add allow udp from me to ${net}:${mask} 137-139
${fwcmd} add allow tcp from me to ${net}:${mask} 445
${fwcmd} add allow udp from me to ${net}:${mask} 445

The thing that nacks me about my firewall settings is, that it's possible more 
open than nessecary. Any help on what trafic-type that can be closed would be 
great.

On my windows-client I had port 445 closed, though I'm not sure I need to open 
it?

My printcap-entry for samba looks like this:

samba|HP LaserJet 1200 via samba:\
  :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/samba:\
  :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
  :mx#0:\

These are the relevant smb.conf entries:

[global]
netbios name = FBSD
server string = "Samba Server"
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
wins support = Yes
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = Yes
print command = lpr -r -P'%p' %s

[printers]
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = Yes
use client driver = Yes

To set up a printer from the w2k-client, I used the printer-wizard and chose a 
networkprinter and then searched the network for the printer (hence the 
'browseable = Yes').

Thanks for the pointers in the right direction.

I don't use ports to install staroffice. I just use the linux installscript on 
the CD and install it in /usr/local/staroffice6.0. Then as a user I 
run /usr/local/startoffice/program/setup and make a local installation.

attaching an usb mp3-player to a device

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi

I'm trying to attach a mp3-player (usb) to /dev/mp3player but usbd wont "play 
ball". The mp3-player gets attached to /dev/da0.

This is what I've done.

# usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), 
VIA(0x), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, MP3 PLAYER(0x0301), 
ICSI(0x0dda), rev 2.1c
 port 2 powered
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), 
VIA(0x), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 powered

editing /etc/usbd.conf and inserting:
#MP3 Player
device "MP3 Player"
  devname "da[0-9]+"
  product 0x0301
  attach "rm -f /dev/mp3player; chmod 666 /dev/${DEVNAME}; ln 
-s /dev/${DEVNAME} /dev/mp3player"
  detach "rm -f /dev/mp3player"

before the bottomline: 

device "USB device"

detaching the mp3player, run:

#/etc/rc.d/usbd restart

Attach the mp3player again and it only gets attached to /dev/da0

What am I doing wrong?

Try reading 'man atapicam'. It tells you what needs to be done.

I've gotten as far as making "camcontrol devlist" show my drives, eg:

   at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0)
  at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,cd1)

But cdbakeoven doesn't see those drives... so if you get further... please let

Hmm... interesting. I've done everything described in man/handbook. The drives 
shows up (correctly) in dmesg and with camcontrol. So *why* will cdbakeoven

Ok... some of this was black talk to me. I just tested cdbakeoven as root, and 
the devices was recognised. So I get the "it's something about 
permission"-part. What I don't get is the "cdrdao"-thing; it's a tool/app/
port, right? Don't have it installed. 

But what is it I need to change the permission for? Do i need to set cdda2wav, 
cdrecord and cdparanoia to SUID? Or is it some device I need to set the r-bit 
for in dev/?

cdrdao isn't a dependency for cdbakeoven nor KDE.

The user is a member of both wheel and operator. And the permission for /dev/
cd* is rw for all. But it's still only root that kan get cdbakeoven to 
recognise the devices.

So, I'm still at loss...

But it's not a dependency in the portssystem! ;) And it shouldn't have any 
influence whether cdbakeoven can detect the devices or not.

Anyway, thanks for your input. I've gotten a step closer; run as root, 
cdbakeoven recognises my devices. ;)

Well, bugfixes for one thing, but also some added functionality (FBSD keeps 
improving ;)). Best thing is to run -STABLE (read the FreeBSD Handbook on how 
to do this), and keep your ports-tree current.

So, just install 4.6.2, update to -STABLE, update your portstree, and then 
install KDE, X and all the other needed stuff. Voila, you've got neat

Xine is quite legal in all countries, but some of it's plugins are not. VLC, 
mplayer and Ogle breaks CSS, and is possible illegal in the US ... and with

You don't *need* it, but xmms will lock the sound-device while playing and 
thus hindering kde-apps using it. One solution is to use vchans, but it sound 
*awfull* with my HW. An arts-plugin to xmms would be really nice, but I never

"I" haven't installed cups, but looks like KDE "dragged" it along. So yes, 
cups-lpr seems to be installed and no cupsd is not runing. And I really don't 
like cups running, I'm quite happy with the systems lpr/lpd. So, can I remove 
safely all-that-is-cups without breaking anything in KDE? And how do I 
reinstate my systems lpr?

And the printsystem is set to the "Unix LPD system" (default) but also tried 
the "LPR/LPRng system".

BTW: what's the knob for *not* building CUPS, and why isn't this set as 
default?

$ echo $PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/mekanix/bin

But this is a shell-prompt, and thus reads the /etc/profile ~/.profile or 
login.conf... but could KDM do som mixup of order?

/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession does something to the PATH, but I don't 
know much about shell-scripting so it's pure jibberish to me.

Getting dnscache working, howto?

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi!

I'm trying to set up a dnscache with the sole purpose to make resolving sites 
like doubleclick.net lock up my browsers, when FreeBSD is trying to resolve 
the IP. I've tried following the guidelines in 
 but 
apparently I've missed something, which is a small wonder since I know very 
little about dns etc.

My setup is fairly simple:

ISP -> ADSL-modem -> Router -> FreeBSD-box

I'm using DHCP to connect to my router. Now, my questions are these:

1) /etc/resolv.conf should say "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and nothing else?

Resolving or blocking eg. doubleclick.net?

Tried it, but really got confused trying to install it. Ended up having a 
service dir created all over my system. Never got it to work.

But looks like I got bind working (my firewall blocked quiries), but it 
doesn't look like a dnscache is solving my problem. *Still* takes forever for 
my box to resolve eg. doubleclick.net. This is *REALLY* getting on my nerves 
to sit and wait ½-5 minutes for a page to load because some unresolvable 
server is blocking.

Anyone know how to solve this issue?

And where *does* named/bind store it's cache-data?

So, would that mean I should create an entry in named.conf like:

zone "doubleclick.net" {
type master;
file "doubleclick.net";
};

and then don't have a doubleclick.net ... or should I create an empty file? 
... or?

Hmm, so every time I reboot I loose my cache? But still, if I visit eg. 
 and wait untill it's loaded (ie. finished resolving 
doubleclick.net) and then hit reload it ought to go a lot quicker. But it 
doesn't, takes just as long. :-/

No advantage at all. What do you mean by "persevere"?

Have added them, without seeing any difference in performance. But it does 
make my tcpdump more readable.

/var/log/messages reports nothing unusual. Haven't told named to log somewhere 
else.

Might be, but don't know what that should be. I'm having issues with both my 
freebsd setup. One on my primary desktop, with a setup that have been refined 
the more I learn about FreeBSD. The second is a vanilla setup with nothing 
special added. I'm not having issues with Windows in that regard (on the same 
HW).

Tried disabling my firewall, didn't change anything.

Someone a couple of month back told me that it was because FreeBSD made it's 
inquiries in IPv6 which doubleclick.net don't support... or something like 
that. And the solution would be to set up a cache. Well, might have mixed 
something up.

I'm at loss to where to look else. The browser? Konq and phoenix/mozilla shows 
the same "stalling" behavior *BUT* opera loads and display 
<http://www.politiken.dk> in a snap. Hmm... what is opera doing differently?

user0m0.004s
sys 0m0.001s

So, it's safe to assume my cache is working? ... and perhaps, resolving 
doubleclick.net et al isn't the issue?

But looks like the cache expires after a couple of minutes?

May be. But it's some fat content that doesn't show at my end. Both my CPU and 
connection looks pretty idle while retreiving the content. And since explorer 
have no issues, I'm not sure I'd buy into that explanation.

> Are you having similar problems with other DNS records?

Other than doubleclick.net? A few other, though I can't recall which. Usually 
site with graphics/banners/content from a slew of servers.

Right now, just "nameserver 127.0.0.1".

This I just cut'n'pasted. My /etc/named/db.empty_zone looks like this:

$TTL 36000
@   IN SOA  frodo.my.domain. root.frodo.my.domain. (
1 ; serial
36000  ; refresh
18000  ; retry
1209600; expire
36000  ; minimum
)
NS  frodo.my.domain.

"frodo.my.domain" is my hostname set in rc.conf. Is this correct?

Javascript? Just tried to turn off javascript on politiken.dk... makes the

Works! ... well actually uncommenting the zone-entry in named.conf helped a

Not on this box. I get a lot of distortions using mplayer playing DivX-files 
(encoded with mencoder), while divxPlayer does it nicely... if it don't 
core-dumps, that is.

Like mplayer can't display the frames fast enough. Eg. looks like frame X gets 
displayed but halfway down frame X+1 takes over. Or perhaps some sort 
stop'n'go (ie. tiny "stops" in the flow).

The CPU-load is only ~30-50% and I don't have this issue with DVD's/MPEG's. 
Just DivX 4/5.

BTW: Do you know how to rebuild index' in divx-files permanently? The 
man-pages says I can do this with mencoder... but I can't find any mention on 
*how*?

ATAPI/CAM and cdbakeoven

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi!

I've just upgraded to a new kernel that includes ATAPI/CAM. Now I'm trying to 
figure out how to use this with eg. cdbakeoven and I don't have much success. 
Eg. if I try to copy a music-CD, I can select my drive, but never gets any 
index loaded.

Under "CD-ROM Devices" my DVD/CDRW-drives doesn't show up in the "Autodetect" 
page, but shows up under "Scanbus". Clicking on "Details" I get:

Cdrecord 1.10 (i386-unknown-freebsd4.5) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling
 cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are 
root.
 cdrecord: Invalid argument. Invalid lun specifier in '01,00,00]'. Cannot open 
SCSI driver.
 cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler
 cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using 
setpriority().
 cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.

Is this any clue to what's up... or where should I dig?

Yup, apart from the WARNING messages, I get the same results.

Resolving hostnames takes "forever"

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi!

I've got an annoying problem when surfing. The browsers (both konq. and 
phoenix/mozilla) needs a very long time (30-60 sec.) to resolve hostnames and 
I'm out of clues to why. My setup is something like:

Cable-modem -> Router (speedstream 2601) -> switch -> FBSD-box

I've enabled "Hostmapping" in the router to point to my FBSD-box. My firewall 
denies no packages. /etc/resolv.conf shows the the correct IP's for the 
nameservers.

Where do I need to dig further?

I had this exactly this problem yesterday. I don't know exactly what was 
wrong, but I think it was some package or dependency that had ruined 
something in the pkgdb.

I tried rebuilding the db with pkgdb, but it really didn't help. I had to 
remove "/var/db/pkg/flashpluginwrapper" that didn't show up when I ran 
pkg_info. After that, no problem.

lprps: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Operation not permitted

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi

I did something stuppid and messed up my lpd-setup. I looked around in KDE's 
"Printer Manager" in administrator-mode, and even though I didn't apply any 
changes it activated cupsd (should it do that?) which in turn overwrote 
my /etc/printcap. Now I can't get back to the old and working setup.

I've removed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh, so /etc/printcap doesn't get 
overwritten any more.

Though I don't have a copy of my /etc/printcap I found older copy (which might 
be identical) which have worked in the past:

laserjet|lp|ps|PS|S|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\
 :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
 :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
 :mx#0:\
 :if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:

The psif-filter is installed and at that location.

lpd is up and running.

Now, if I try to print anything I get this errormessage in console/syslog:

eb 13 09:50:46 desktop lprps[842]: laserjet: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Operation not 
supported by device
Feb 13 09:50:46 desktop lpd[836]: laserjet: job could not be printed 
(cfA010desktop.home)

I've tried to fiddle around with lptcontrol and gets tiocflush-errors for all 
switches but -s.

I have NO idea for where to look next. Google doesn't turn up anything useful 
on tiocflush and I have no idea what it means.
