Re: Known problem with qt3.3?

2004-04-04 Thread Chuck McManis
The KDE folks nailed it, I had a private copy of gcc 3 compiled on the 
system (for eCos development) and while those tools were not in the path, 
ldconfig had /usr/local/gnu3/lib in the path so it was picking up 
libstdc++.so.5 from that directory rather than libstdc++.so.3 from the 
/usr/lib directory. (bogus in and of itself, since c++ should not have 
accepted the later version but that appears to have been the problem, my 
portupgrade since built qt33 and has moved on to kdelibe3.

Step #1 - Look in the message log (/var/log/messages), and ideally a copy

The latter is important because your server can seem to be down when the 
problem is actually you cannot connect to it (the network is down).

If you can log into your server and get a shell prompt, then I would try 
the command uptime(1) first, to see how long the server thinks its been 
running, and then start looking at /var/log/messages for reboot messages, 
and /var/crash for kernel coredumps (if you panic, and have savecore set, 
it will create a core file there)

No because you would need the schematic of the mainboard and no 
manufacturer will give you that (go figure.) Power is supplied on the PS/2 
pin and the WinHEC standard calls for there to be a fuse on that supply. 
If you short the power pin to ground while attempting to plug in something 
(or while unplugging) and blow that fuse, the motherboard is toast. This is 
not a user replacable part. (you'd have to find it amongst the many surface 
mount parts if it wasn't already in the PS/2 shroud, and then you would 
have to pull just that part off the board.

I'm sure if you get the Intel ATX Motherboard documentation (need a signed 
non-disclosure with Intel) it specifies the size/type of fuse.

Top-posting may be an opinion, but RFC 1855 makes it _standard_ opinion.
Let's get serious for a minute here. Just because someone wrote up an 
INFORMATIONAL RFC does NOT make it STANDARD. It makes it INFORMATIONAL. Big 
difference. Go look up RFC 2026 for what it takes to become a standard.

I wonder what it would be like if you went to a cocktail party and before 
you could say anything in a conversation you first had to say everything 
that everyone else had said. I suppose you could turn it into a drinking 
game (if you missed some bit you would be forced to take a drink) but it 
would only be entertaining for a short time.

Netiquette guidelines are like C coding styles, subject to great rip 
roaring debates. My personal pet peeve is 600 lines of included text only 
to get to the bottom line which adds This is how I feel about it too. I 
loved tin(1)'s filter that popped back and said Hmm, more than 50% 
included text, perhaps you want to either add more content or delete some 
of the text. Only to have complete morons who would add 20 lines of -- 
filler text to main tin happy -- lines! Can you believe how stupid that 
is? No, I didn't think so. But its true.

And top posting or bottom posting just including all that text is a 
complete waste on an archive list like this one since anyone who doesn't 
get it need only go to the archive to figure it out. Instead a thread 
like this has easily 10x the character count of the actual characters used 
in new text. Even good text compression can help that much. So you end up 
with the servers that archive this for posterity (Hi Mom!) overflowing with 
redundant information. If you could somehow mandate top posting and train 
people who want to catch up to read from the bottom up on the first message 
of the thread they read, then you could archive the entire thread and chop 
off the messages as soon as you got to a line of included text and the 
archived version would be completely readable from front to back for posterity.

But no one seems to have these sorts of deep thoughts and what we get is, 
well whatever someone things is best. And as we can see reading this 
thread, some think one way and some think another. That's my working 
definition of difference of opinion. :-) That's why generally I scan 
through the text and extract the content. My comment was merely a 
counterpoint in the harmony of discussion.

Apple has some advantages when writing an OS to run on their own hardware; 
FreeBSD needs to deal with a much wider variation of hardware than Apple 
does in terms of both quality and complexity.
Well until 5.x the FreeBSD problem was no more difficult than the one 
Microsoft dealt with :-) I agree that if you limit supported configs it 
makes install easier.

I use both MacOS X and FreeBSD on a daily basis; they aren't the same OS 
nor do they make although knowledge of one is often useful on the 
other.  OS X auto-defaults to installing everything into a single HFS+ 
partition, which is ideal only in the sense that such an installation 
avoids having the user make a decision about drive partitioning.
That is a good example of a user centric choice. Most application users 
(non-developers) derive little benefit from having multiple file systems.

That being said, my point is not to disagree with you so much as to say 
that if you think the FreeBSD install should behave differently, you've 
got the sources: make a few changes to streamline the process and see 
whether other people like them.
And my point was that the primary population of people who would have an 
opinion would be developers who violently disagree that there should be an 
easy or dumbed down install process. Did I mention that I also was the 
manager (acting) for the group that owned Sun Install at Sun 15 years ago 
? (God that makes me feel old :-) The current install program has many 
external similarities to that one. I've heard all of the arguments, no one 
at Sun would tolerate an EZ installer and I doubt hardly anyone here 
would as well. Part of the problem is that interaction between installation 
and the need to have the developers provide hooks for it. The package 
system is quite good and frankly I think passes muster for both newbie/app 
user/ and developer alike. The XFree86 configuration/install is pretty 
horrific if you don't know much about computers (asking for the chip used 
in the video card? please!)

My observation is that this is the sort of battle/change that cannot be 
manifested in an open source community. If you're familiar with the 
Cathedral and the Bazaar paper, its impossible to get everyone in the 
Bazaar to be quiet so that one person might speak to everyone at once. 
Conversely its impossible in the open source model to have one requirement 
impart requirements on everyone else. It just isn't in the nature of the 
community to accept such a constraint, and in parts of the community the 
hint of something like that generates huge antibodies.

Re: Problems (Still) Mounting CDROM

As far as your kernel is concerned there is no CDROM drive attached to it.

You should see something like:

atapci0: Intel ICH4 ATA100 controller port 
0xf000-0xf00f,0-0x3,0-0x7,0-0x3,0-0x7 irq 0 at device 31.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
... snip ...
sio1: type 16550A
ppc0: parallel port not found.
ad0: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device
ad0: 76319MB WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
acd0: CDROM ATAPI 44X CDROM at ata1-master PIO4
... snip ...

Note that the last line identifies the CDROM. Now the most common cause of 
this problem is that the CDROM is set as a SLAVE on the ATA bus and there 
is no master on that bus. Or sometimes its set as Master w/Slave Present 
and its waiting for the slave to ack before it does. Either way, its one of

drive is mis-jumpered
drive is mis-cabled

Hi,

I have a question about keyboard driver in FreeBSD 5.X.
I want to have a possibility to boot my box without keyboard and attach
keyboard after system already started.

Re: 4.9 install disks and USB keyboard?

2004-03-04 Thread Chuck McManis
Boot uses the BIOS calls so you need to set Legacy USB Keyboard support 
true in the BIOS. Then it works fine.

Re: Apache

2004-03-03 Thread Chuck McManis
Look in /var/log/messages to see if its complaining, look in 
$LOGILES/httpd-access.log to see if it is complaining, look in 
$LOGFILES/httpd-error.log and see if it is complaining. Generally its 
pretty good about telling you what is going on. If you left the httpd.conf 
file at most of its defaults it will have the apache documentation as the 
file is shows.

RAID5 on 3 disks? That's useless.
Its only mostly useless. You can't mirror (RAID-1) three drives, so if you 
want some resiliency you can use RAID-5 and give up one disk to parity and 
get two disks worth of data.
You could even do RAID4 on three disks. 'course 4 disks is generally the 
minimum most people talk about, but its not completely useless.

confirmed, my system is messed up :-(

2004-03-02 Thread Chuck McManis
Well, I've confirmed that I've managed to pretty much screw up my system by 
trying to upgrade to KDE 3.2. I can't get khello world to link. QT 3.2, no 
libXmu, the ports say libXt is broken and needs to be fixed. sigh. As all 
I want to do is develop an application for KDE 3.2 (as opposed to work on 
KDE itself) I'm going to wait and 5.3 or 4.10 comes out and re-install my 
system from the built packages at that point.

Thanks for the pointers on portupgrade and -pufa, even through I ran 
through portupgrade -pufa (and I've cvsup'd my ports tree) I have yet to 
get back to a system where I can do development. Good old gcc works fine 
though.

Re: Swap space - max size

   Is there any point in adding more than 2 Gb of swap space on an x86 if
 you have 2 Gb of ram?
4GB is the virtual address limit, not the physical address limit (which is 
higher) However if you're swapping a lot on a 2GB system then you're 
biggest problem is that the entire system is being dragged down to the 
bandwidth of disk spindle. Not good.

All I want is KDE 3.2

2004-02-29 Thread Chuck McManis
That should be simple, however I'm getting close to looking at a full 
re-install :-(

I'm running 4.8, I made sure I had cvsup'd the ports collection. I tried to 
download the 4-STABLE packages but trying to add them with pkg_add was 
giving me fits (some would, some claim that a previous version is installed 
but neither pkg_update nor pkg_delete can find the old version)

I tried to rebuild KDE3.2 from ports, this fails in tk84 at the moment 
(tk84 won't build) This is really nuts I think.

Anyone have a cookbook for making things sane? Will pkg_delete -a followed 
by adding back the packages I want have any hope of succeeding?

I have no qlue[sic] as what tk84 is. I experiance that kde_lib didn't build

tk84 is the Tk half of TCL/Tk for TCL ver 8.4. I used pkg_delete -a and 
re-installed from packages to get KDE 3.1 back again. I was able to build 
kdebase3.2 and kdelibs, it was the 'make install' from /usr/ports/x11/kde3/ 
that trys to rebuild Tk84. Even after manually installing the build tk84 
from rabarber.fruitsalad.org it still wants to rebuild it.

For anyone else who is interested the problem build at the moment is
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/tk84 which is/was missing some includes (like 
tcl.h) from its work directory. I'm manually adding them by hand (yuck!) 
but so far don't have a clean build of tk84.

Well I got a bit farther than you did, got kdelibs-3.2.0 built but it fails 
later trying to build tk84. There is also a dependency on art1.2 even 
though the freebsd.kde.org page says that you should be able to use arts 1.1.

After spending the entire weekend on it I've figured it may be easier just 
to wait for 4.10.
