Re: boinc_gui missing after portupgrade

2012-08-06 Thread David Whytcross

Thanks for your help Robert

it is working again, odd how it has to be started form /var/db/boinc !

also noticed that boinc_cmd has changed it name to boinccmd

and as for boincmgr, I found that you need to run boinccmd from the 
/var/db/boinc folder as well, to do a manual update


regards,
David Whytcross

 I believe the literal answer is downgrade.  :-(
 The more useful answer is it has been replaced by
 'boincmgr'.  hich, unfortunately, does not seem to pick up
 project/task information from the previous version.


Further information:
It does pick up the current porject/task information if you
start it in the boinc directory (e.g. /var/db/boinc).

boinc_gui missing after portupgrade

2012-08-03 Thread David Whytcross
Hi guys,

I just performed a portupgrade on 9.0-RELEASE to the boinc-setathome-enhanced 
port, which took boinc-client from boinc-client-6.4.5_7 to boinc-client-7.0.25_4

I am now missing boinc_gui from /usr/local/bin

any ideas as to how to get it back ?

Re: umount device busy

2012-06-03 Thread David Whytcross

Hi Gary,

if you are using xfce4, then you have most likely got gamin running as well, 
this caused the same problem for me when trying to umount an external USB 
drive


I resolved my umount problem by including the -f switch

#umount -f /mnt/goflex

Subject: umount device busy


Something I'm overlooking here and a lot of questions I can't seem to find 
the answers to...


I mounted a usb drive
 mount -t ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/goflex

Then, as nearly as I can remember...
 I then poked around a bit using the xfce4 browser.
 I tried to mkdir from the mount point as a normal user:
   cd /mnt/goflex
   %mkdir breakaway
   mkdir: .: No such file or directory
 After checking write premissions, which I didn't have,
 I did an su -l and tried again, with the same results.

I then tried to unmount the drive, believing it was mounted read-only:
   #umount /mnt/goflex
   umount: unmount of /mnt/goflex failed: Device busy

As nearly as I can tell, I don't have anything pointing at that drive.

Questions:

1.  What does the No such file or directory mean from mkdir?
   It's a relative dir name, and I'm sitting at a valid dir.

2.  How do I find out how the file-system was mounted?
   mount (noargs) does not show read/write status

3.  I tried lsof but I don't get any output from it:
 lsof +d /mnt/goflex -x -- /mnt/goflex
   Where does it go if not to stdout?

4.  lsof has a *long* man page, so I'd like to save it temporarily so I 
can search it in an editor.  If I do man lsof temp.tmp the output 
contains backspace sequences which screw up searching.  How do I get man 
to produce plain text without the control sequences?


5.  The lsof man page references a faq which is supposed to be part of the 
distribution.

   find . -ls | grep lsof doesn't show any faq.

6.  And finally, any idea why umount says the device is busy?

Seems like I should have been able to find the answer to at least one of 
those but I'm coming up short.


Thanks for relevant pointers,

Gary

Have you asked the port maintainer?
