I am an RHCE and have a reasonable knowledge of linux administration, database, Bash Scripting, and C/C++. I want to contribute to the community. I have gone through the FreeBSD handbook, and list of various projects under the community. However, I was unable to determine a suitable project for me to get started. So, I would really appreciate if you could help me find a project that would require my field of knowledge. I suppose that depends on your interests and your habilities. You can check the Ideas Page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage Ports need work too, so you can try to port something new that people want: https://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts or adopt an orphaned port: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=36243 Contributing documentation is always welcomed AFAIK. Cheers. Also, I wish to apply for GSOC-2014 and have checked the ideas page but found the similar problems as above. Also, if you could give me a link of resources and handbook for me to go through before starting to contribute. -- Regards :) Karan ___ 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 ___ 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

Anyway I couldn't boot into single user for some reason so I booted from a USB image, ran fsck, and then everything was fine. Was it a kernel crash?

Radeon HD 2400 PRO, DRI setup problem
Hi all, I here reproduce the mail I sent to freebsd-x11 for which I received no reply. I hope I have more luck in questions@ I'm having quite a few problems setting DRI up on my system. I'm running 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 using GENERIC kernel. I recompiled the radeon kernel module with WITHOUT_NOUVEAU=YES just to see if I had more luck. This is some information about my system: pciconf -lv: vgapci0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x10411462 chip=0x94c31002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' device = 'RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO]' class = display subclass = VGA Using GENERIC kernel for 9.0-RELEASE on amd64. radeon kernel driver compiled with WITHOUT_NOUVEAU. /usr/ports/graphics/dri properly configured and installed. I followed instructions at http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting, but I found that dmesg | grep agp doesn't return anything so I suppose this is a bad sign. I know agp subsystem has been in the default kernel for a while. I can also load the radeon module and I get the /dev/dri/card0 device node. Using the radeon driver for Xorg results in a system hang after a blank screen and the monitor going to sleep. Only if I set DRI to false and I _do not_ load the radeon driver I can get my X server running though it is quite slow. The output of glxinfo | grep OpenGL is: OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.6.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 OpenGL extensions: So basically I don't know how to get the card working. It works in Linux with the Xorg's radeon driver so I suppose I have some misconfiguration around but I can not figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mounting SD card.
Hi, I can't make my SD card reader work. It is from a 4 years old Compaq PC. It works fine in Linux however. I'm using 9.0 release with stock kernel. If I boot the system and plug the SD card in, the green led doesn't even switch on and there is only a /dev/da0 that I can not mount.

Re: Why Clang
On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 9:58 PM, Wojciech Puchar woj...@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl wrote: Does GPLv3 does force programs you compile with gcc to be GPLed? As far as I know, the main difference is that the GPLv3 is often called a viral license. Software linking against v3 libraries and so maybe programs compiled by a v3 compiler will have - according to the license - to be released as v3 too. This word: MAYBE is most crucial here. I don't see how GPLv3 is viral. Here[1] we can read a program linking agains a gpl v3 library should be released under the gplv3 too. However, the only concern would be when the program is implicitly linked against libgcc right? Well, there's even an exception[2] for this. I'm not saying moving to clang is a bad idea. I just don't think the viral license argumentation is strong enough. Can anyone provide an example of viral propagation of the license if we compile the base system with a gpl v3 gcc? Thanks.

Current way of downloading sources
Hi all, Before 9.0 I used to use sysinstall to download sources for several distributions including kernel and libraries. However, this doesn't seem to work anymore. Whatever source distribution I try to download I get the error that it doesn't exist in the server. The handbook[1] still says sysinstall can be used to do the job. Is it right? If so, what could be my mistake. Thanks.

Regarding the Gnome issue, it is easy to say, hey, go and fix it, but even if I lack the skills to send patches and / or fix a certain issue, it does not mean I don't care. At this point, when Gnome is not Linux-specific, a big amount of work is put to make the FreeBSD Gnome releases stable. If Gnome goes Linux-specific it will be really difficult (if not impossible) to keep the pace of the original project (think about what would happen if Gnome depends on systemd to activate session services, for example). Oh this is flamebait, but I hope gnome does do this.. Maybe then more people would forget about it and focus on making KDE better ;) ___ 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 ___ 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

Can't say for sure myself, but certain points do spring to mind - mainly based upon the fact than 'BSD's are not Linux. The main difference that would apply is the separation in the Linux world between kernel development and userland. Some work on the kernel while others package distros, adding a userland to what kernel developers produce. FreeBSD is not Linux in that it is a complete operating system, kernel and userland are developed together and distributed as a complete unit. Since there is no separation between kernel and userland development maybe an Actually, there is separation. Although they are shipped as a one complete and integrated product, they do differ in the way they are developed. alternate proposal might be for people coming to FreeBSD from the Linux world to endeavor to learn and adjust to what has worked for the community well for many years now. In other words, leave the Linuxisms in Linux land and learn the FreeBSD-isms. Yes, that's one way to do it. In fact, that's probably one of the most straightforward ways to jump from Linux to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD community does try and function as a meritocracy for a lofty goal. It may not be perfect, but it also does try and be open and look at new ideas when they come around. Things not immediately dismissed out of hand will be debated from the bottom up, and if by the time it percolates upwards to the top it has survived many a thrashing it may just be committed. So, no harm in proposing new ideas. Just keep in mind that many times such proposals have a limited lifetime and have actually been proposed before. The community may have bandied the idea about and decided not to pursue it. Then it is quickly forgotten until the next cycle comes around with some newcomer proposing the same thing again. It happens. Witness the Why Do You Have a Devil for a Mascot meme that continues to resurface periodically year after year. We got tired of that many years ago, but it just will not go away... :-) So if the larger community and it's reasoned approach decides a proposal has merit for whatever number of supporting arguments, and idea might just take flight. Whatever I, as one individual, may think about any one idea/proposal it is the larger community in general that will decide. It was just an idea. I don't really know if there is room for such list.

Turning on optimization virtually _always_ results in the compiler needing more resources. How much more depends on the size, complexity, and ' optimizability' of the code being compiled. The simple fix for your problem is to add swap space to the system. swap space does -not- have to be in a dedicated partition, see 'man swapon' for how to use a -file- as temporary swap space. I had done it if disabling the optimization wouldn't have changed anything. The main problem was that I didn't know how much swap I had to add. Right now I have an updated system but I will have a look at how much RAM this takes using -O2. Note: if you find someting that won't compile, given a combined 4 gigs of RAM and swap space, and the build isthe only thing running beyond core system services, *then* you've got the basis for 'good' PR filing.

Re: libxul compilation problem
2010/10/16 Rob Farmer rfar...@predatorlabs.net: 2010/10/16 Fernando Apesteguía fernando.apesteg...@gmail.com: I didn't run X or whatsoever. That's why I think I should have enough memory. In fact after getting that error, I rebooted so I could update the ports from a fresh running system (nothing cached or so). But even in that case, I'm getting the same error. Any VM tuning I can try? I'm not really knowledgeable about that kind of thing. However, the port is marked MAKE_JOBS_SAFE which means that it will try to run multiple compiler instances in parallel, to speed things up if you have multiple CPUs/cores. You can try running with make -DDISABLE_MAKE_JOBS to just run one at a time - maybe you have enough memory for that but not multiple jobs at once? Hi Rob, The machine has one single core cpu. Finally I was able to compile the thing, compiling the offending file by hand (nsHtml5ElementName.cpp) without the -O2 optimization flag. With this flag, cc1plus eats up all the memory of my system in a few seconds. Without the flag, the file is compiled without any problems and quite fast. Should this issue be a candidate for filing a PR?

8.0 flash gmail attachments
Hi all, I'm running 8.0-RELEASE-p2. I have flash support through linux emulation (linux_base-f10-10_2 and linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r42). Everything seems to work fine save a couple of things: - Sometimes nspluginwrapper crashes and dumps a core. Firefox 3 seems to work fine however and it does not hang or crash. - In Gmail, every attachment attempt fails. I think this is related to flash cause there is a flash progress bar while uploading the attachment. If I fall back to the old gmail version where the progress bar is not present the same attachment does not fail. I wonder if any out there has noticed this. I'm specially interested in the second problem cause it is very annoying.

The latter is several years out of date, and the upstream maintainer of the software has said that no one should be using it, but the maintainer of the FreeBSD port has so far been unwilling to update it. ... And dmesg shows: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BUFFER ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - MODE_SELECT_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x26 ascq=0x00 It is not unusual for some errors to appear, even during normal operation, so these don't necessarily indicate a problem, although it was good that you posted them. You should run the cdrecord command with -vv (yes, two v's) to get verbose error messages from cdrecord. This should give you a better idea of why cdrecord is failing. If the error messages from -vv are not enough, you can also add -VV, although this affects the timing of the operations, and should be used with care when recording. I have had problems like this in the past, when a disk was corrupted, and cdrecord balked at blanking it. I used blank=all with either the -immed flag, or the -force flag, or both, to solve the problems. Honestly I didn't think this was the problem, but it seems I've had a bad virgin CD set. Two of them (of a set of 5) seem to work fine. I can write, rewrite and blank them. Aaarrghh! sorry for the noise. Nevertheless, I will try to update to cdrtools-devel since I have cdrtools installed Thanks to all of you. If you are using cdrtools, you should probably use the cd(4) driver together with atapicam(4), rather than the acd(4) driver. To prevent possible problems, it is safer to prevent both drivers from attaching to the same device. I usually remove: device atapicd from my kernel, and just use: device ata device atapicam device scbus device cd device pass I don't know whether it is possible to disable the acd(4) driver using just loader.conf(5), device.hints(5), or some other means at boot- or run-time, but you could look into that if you don't want to go to the trouble of removing it from your kernel. 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

Touchpad and wheel buttons
Hi all, I'm using FreeBSD 8.0 BETA1, but I post in this list cause I had the same problem in 7.2, since it is Xorg related. I have a laptop. The touchpad provides 4 buttons. Two of them are the normal left and right buttons and the other two should provide the wheel-like functionality, scrolling windows up and down. However, the behavior is quite different. In Firefox, for example, if I click on the touchpad area, I go back to the previous web site. The same for the wheel-down button. The wheel up button doesn't do anything. I disabled the AutoAddDevices in xorg.conf and added a mouse section: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 EndSection It doesn't work either. I tried to change the protocol from auto to IMPS/2 but it hangs Xorg. How can I configure the touchpad?

Ati and Xorg.conf
Hi, I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400. I fresh installed FreeBSD 7.2 for AMD64. I added the Xorg support and Gnome desktop. With the autoconfig Xserver feature, the whole system freezes. With the xorg.conf file generated by the -configure option, the system freezes too. I've tried several different drivers (ati, radeonhd...) but I can only bring X up with the vesa driver. Which driver is the best one (features vs stability) taking into account that I don't want to run any fancy desktop features? How can I configure it?

I can't load the modules because they don't exist as modules.

What I wanted to say is: when installing the port, it couldn't download one of the needed files (vim-7.2.tar.bz2).

Have you ever asked yourself what this key will do? Try it, press it! :-) Believe it or not, I forgot about the key because I never had to use it before :) Thanks! Use the up / down and page up / page down arrow keys then. To relapse to normal operations, press ScrL again. While in ScrL mode, you can still enter data, but it won't be echoed to the terminal. You will see it after exiting ScrL mode.

Re: X.org-update - screen garbled / settings for xorg.conf?

I started a thread a few days ago titled Restarting new Xorg freezes system. My symptoms are the same as yours. I'm not running hald at all. I'm not using full-blown gnome, just windowmaker. I'm using the radeon driver on an ATI HD 4350 I just tried switching to the vesa driver, and now I can stop and start X as much as I want with no problems whatsoever. I know that this was not a problem with the radeon driver prior to the Xorg update. Hi, Did a few tests more: 1) Section ServerLayout Option AllowEmptyInput false Section Device Driver radeon moused running hald running Result: X (gnome in my case) starts, mouse moves. Upon leaving X the console is to something different than 80x25 lines - at least I can't see about 2-3 lines on the bottom of the screen. However - as soon as a start X again I get graphical junk on the display, mouse keyboard frozen, no switching of consoles nor can I log in via the net (ssh) Just for the record, this used to happen in Linux (Fedora 9) but it's working since some time ago (sorry, I don't remember when this was fixed) radeon now works and doesn't freeze if you try to bring the X Server up again. I'm using Xorg 7.4 too However, I experience the same problems in my system (ATI RadeonHD 2400 with FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2) 2) Same as 1) above however this time with Driver radeonhd Result: Almost the same as 1) above - only difference: When I leave X the console comes back again to 80x25 lines. Hoever - like in 1) above - the second attempt to start X ends in a machine completely frozen :-( 3) Same as 1) - this time with Driver vesa Result: Everything works - i.e. back and forth between X and console. Sure enough working with Vesa is a workaround only given the huge difference in speed between the Vesa- and radeon drivers. 4) Option AutoAddDevices Off under 'Section ServerLayout' with Driver radeonhd Result: X works only once (as in Tests 12 above). Second attempt to start X gives a frozen box again. As you already mentioned o) no problem with VESA-Driver o) no problems with radeon-driver prior to the Upgrade to X 7.4 Hope this helps someone out there to track things down. -ewald ___ 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 ___ 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

My LCD flat panel has an auto adjust button which does the same thing. Yep, but the point is that it worked fine some time ago (probably with -p1, though I'm not sure). And as I said after using X, if I go back again to console mode, monitor settings are correct. Doesn't this means there is some kind of problem with video at start up? None of my other operating systems in that machine suffer this problem.
