Re: nvidia geforce fx 5200 not working with nvidia driver
Ok, it seems like a driver bug. Tested on linux and the results are: Linux 2.4.22 nvidia v1.0-4363 : not working Linux 2.4.22 nvidia v1.0-4496 : working FreeBSD 5.2RCs nvidia v1.0-4365 : not working so eventually something got fixed in the driver for my card, but has not been backported to the freebsd version. Moreover there is no Changelog from 4363 to 4496 so it's not easy to understand what was fixed/modified. I'll give it a shot and write to nvidia. Thanks, Luca. Andrew L.

Perhaps it's a FreeBSD 5.2RC2 thing. Remember, you're still running CURRENT. Andrew L.

Re: pkg_add and openoffice package problems (5.2-RC2)
Hi Dany,
I think I can workaround my problem by manually installing the required
packages and the openoffice: my main issue is to understand if I
really hit a limit of pkg_add or not, as I assumed, by reading docs
& posts, that it should be able to resolve dependencies and automatically
download the required packages.
I suppose it works (not tested) if the package one wants to install
is located remotely, and on the same site where all other required
packages can be found. This is just my conclusion based on what I've
seen, but I'm looking for some expert to confirm or contradict it.
Thanks anyway for your offer :)
Ciao, Luca

I got OpenOffice working on my 5.2 with the help of a gentleman for the
bsdforums who sent me a newer version compiled for 5.2RC2.
I didn't want to compile it by myself (time consuming) so it was kind of
him to make this available. Worked right out of the box.
If you want I can post the file on my webserver so you can download it.
Just say the word.
Cheers

Hello all,
I'm totally new to FreeBSD, and I come from a Linux-Gentoo experience.
I installed 5.2RC2 yesterday without much hassle, but I'm having problems
installing OpenOffice.org v1.1 package, due to some dependency errors
coming from pkg_add that I couldn't solve either looking at the docs
or skimming through past posts.
So, I downloaded the FreeBSD package from:
http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
First thing I tried was to run pkg_add on the downloaded package,
which failed due to some dependency errors:
falcon# pkg_add ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
pkg_add: could not find package glib-1.2.10_10 !
pkg_add: could not find package gtk-1.2.10_10 !
pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17 !
Then I tried the "-r" option, hoping the command would automatically
download the missing and necessary packages, without much luck as
pkg_add refused to use the local ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz, and was
looking for it on ftp.freebsd...:
falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz: File
unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/
i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz' by URL
I then set the PACKAGESITE to the appropriate link to download
openoffice,
but then this same site was used to download the missing packages which
were obviously not found.
falcon# setenv PACKAGESITE http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/
falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz
I'm surely doing something wrong, but my questions are:
. is there a way to specify more than one FTP/HTTP source for
packages ? PACKAGESITE does not seem to accept a syntax where
different URLs are separated by a semicolon (":");
. do I have to manually download the necessary packages that
openoffice depends on ? Or is pkg_add really able to do that alone ?
Thanks for any help / documentation pointers you might give,
Best regards,
Luca.
