Oki I configure my postfix and tell u the result asap. For me the user
is a local one...Should I remove sendmail or sth? It seems to be used
by default so...

Re
To be more accurate here is a trace that I can found in
/var/mail/root. Seems to be a internal mail for my user (which never
receive any mail...)

The original message was received at Fri, 11 Nov 2005 19:34:32 +0100 (CET)

   - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -

There is a lot of "mails" like that in this directory. Could anyone

User unknown?

2006-03-27 Thread Guillaume R. 
Hello
I'm trying to setup (for the first time under FreeBSD!) my usual setup
to read my mail (postfix+fm+procmail+mutt)
But I got a serious problem: when I try to fetch the mails for my user
those mails dont go in /var/mail/my_user but *always* in
/var/mail/root...
I read all the mails I receive from the system and I could see that on
this box my_user is...unknown so I can't having those mails in a
normal way.
Does anyone could help me by telling me which files I must modify so
that it works (I suppose I got to change my hostname too but I cant
find any /etc/hostname file...)
Thx
PS:btw does anyone remember the option so that fetchmail fetch *all*
the mails (the one non-read and the other one read as well)?
Thx again

Where are the config files stored?

2006-01-24 Thread Guillaume R. 
Hello
I'm posting here coz I got this problem since a while and it's very disturbing.
I install a soft like postfix for example and I cant find the sample
config files which normally comes with the packages. Under linux the
sample are stored either in there right place (i.e.
/etc/postfix/main.cf) or in /usr/share/doc/myapp.
That's not right for freebsd and I cant find those sample for procmail
fetchmail or mutt for example. Is it normal or did I miss something?
If I miss something could anyone tell me what so that I correct that
to got my samples at new?
Many thx :)

Lo
So why there is a 64int? We can suppose that perl has seen that Marc's proc
is a 64 one no?
I asked that cause I got a 64bits  (amd) which run on a 32 bits mode and I
got oftenly such "i386-freebsd-64amd"

Problem while patching a file

2005-11-28 Thread Guillaume R. 
Hello
I'm trying to install the last version of emacs (to test Gnus!) on my
box. I've got a compil error, I made a search and found that thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-September/025703.html
By reading the thread I could deduce that this patch seems to work
fine. I decided to apply it. And here is my problem: I don't know how
to patch correctly a file i suppose coz when i type:
patch src/xterm.c < mypatch.patch
Then the patch is not include in the file but simply copied at the top of it.
Could someone explain me how to patch correctly a file? And especially
where i could find some docs on diff/patch commands (apart man)?
Many thx

Some questions about ports system

2005-11-26 Thread Guillaume R. 
Hi
At the end of a portsclean -LPPDDC I got this:
** Clean out /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg manually on occasions.
** Try using libchk(1) (sysutils/libchk) to find out unreferenced libraries.
I'm asking thus some questions, the one is how could I clean manually
the /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg directory and the second is about the
nature of libchk. I got no man page on this soft and it doesn't seem
to be installed on my box. Before running it I wish to know what is
it? Could someone explain me what this software is and figure out is
utility for a system?
Finally I got a question about pkgdb, when I run it with the F options
I often have questions to which I have to answer thx to yes or no. I
never know what I must choose. I read the man page of pkgdb but it's
not clear in my mind could someone explain me how this soft works?
Many thx

Upgrade a firmware under FreeBSD

2005-11-24 Thread Guillaume R. 
Hello
Since a long time I've got a problem with my burner which is :
cd0:  .
Cdrecord writes something like: "cannot load media" while there is a
media inside which works find on another burner.
So now I decided to use the last chance: the firmware. I found a newer
than mine on the constructor website. The matter is that it's a .exe
Does anyone know if it's possible in any way to upgrade a firmware
under freebsd?
Thx

Shutdown my pc

2004-12-06 Thread Guillaume R. 
Hi all!
I've got a little problem on my new pc:I can't shutdown it correctly that
is to say: i ran shutdown -h now (in root of course) it comes to shutdown
and then I've got a blackscreen with some snow on it (soon christmas???)
and to really shutdown the pc I've got to use the power button (which is
not good at all :/)
The worst:I have not  my virtuals consoles (any of it) when X is running
I ran a freebsd 5.3 with a GeForce FX5650 I use the driver from X.org (nv)
coz the nvidia driver makes my pc reboot
If anyone could help will be great :)
