Hi BSD -
Hi BSD - I know on my websites that more worrisome than someone caught reading my poetry as their own is that they have told something is mine that is not. I was thinking about putting the ports tar on my BSD 10 when I was actually successful. I notice that apparently the talking point xorg refresh and the touchstone kde4 artwork seem to be not on your servers. I was wondering whether even after my service that Lord Jesus has not granted me access to a specially fortified server in the basement of a Quebec Church Shrine? Since A.W.O.L bill is against that sort of thing I wonder why Lord Jesus is not working with all his might to do so. -- Steve [Blue Seahorse] ;~) Quiet Rainbows, LLC Poetry, chess, origami FUN! https://www.blueseahorsesreef.org Poetry and commentary on the war; https://www.blueleafsyndicate.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
Availability of downloads
Hi FreeBSD - Since PCBSD takes care of all these details this is not actually a complaint. When I was using FreeBSD the only server I could get packages from was in Japan which did so every time although the packages seemed rarely changed. I discovered the FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT a few days past and since I have 2 machines I thought it would be interesting. I pointed the ports repository to the ports file in the 10.0-CURRENT but when I try to fetch there are always missing packages which causes the machine not to download any packages at all. If I just had gotten the Xorg metapackage and KDE metapackage. The kicker of course is that I told several ladies what to do and they are still downloading after an hour. ;~) -- Steve [Blue Seahorse] ;~) Quiet Rainbows, LLC Poetry, chess, origami FUN!

HWPstate error messages
Good morning - A couple of months past I wrote about an error message I was receiving. It was an hwpstate error message concerning setting the frequency of my AMD FX 8120 CPU. Ian Stewart seemed especially interested. I find that by enabling the HPC option in my BIOS [high performance computing] that the messages stop appearing. I have confirmed it with dmesg. Thanks for your interest.

Partitioning with gpart
Dear FreeBSD - I have installed PC-BSD 9.1 RC1 last week. Very nice I must say. The default file system is zfs. I have one storage disk which is ufs and another which is on an mbr partition. I thought I would format the mbr disk with zfs and move everything from the ufs disk and then format the ufs disk with zfs. I have not tried the command line before so I just tried to create over the disk with: gpart create -s gpt ada2 The message is that ada2 already exists as a file system.

Flashplayer expiration mini-mainframes
Dear FreeBSD - I am looking forward to installing PC-BSD 9.1 at the end of the week!! The Adobe website states that Flashplayer 11.2 will be the last ported to Linux [although it will forever received security updates.] Flashplayer 11.3 I believe is the first to offer 64-bit support. It is rumored here that Opera 12.5 is to be 64-bit - and could be ready now except that Opera is writing their own Flashplayer like plugin. Are we that lucky? I have been thinking about nearly commodity mini-mainframes for some months and it appears that FreeBSD is the most well positioned. I have heard that 1 in 6 'PC' server buyers asks their vendor for mainframe functions such as are provided by ia64. Surely ASUS and Supermicro would know that. I do not know how long it takes to write a kernel but I here the Linux camp is whispering that they need an ia64 kernel. FreeBSD must have been optimizing it ia64 kernel for at least 6 years. Is FreeBSD that lucky? And of course I suppose AMD must want both a PC and workstation chip and a different workstation and server chip? -- Steve Blue Seahorse Syndicate http://www.blueleafsyndicate.org Maine New Hampshire Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ ___ 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
Re: Fwd: Need latest xorg
I have found that 9-stable is on a couple of sites. Today I looked up the addresses of the packages and used pkg_add -r ftp://ftpetc I have xorg-7.5.2 with newer drivers for my recent AMD HD 7950. It looks very, very nice. xorg-7.7 on 10 must be awesome but this is my principle machine.

Need latest xorg
Hi FreeBSD - I have an AMD HD 7950 video card so I am trying to install the latest FreeBSD xorg available (7.5.2) for an updated driver. When I start make the install immediately stops at MesaLib-7.6.1.tar.gz. I can restart it on a primary using the location given then after a short time the install stops at /x11/9menu (/9menu-1.8.shar.gz) I can also attempt to restart this on a couple of servers but after a trip around the world my install still stops at /x11/9menu I live in Maine (USA) so I pick the MIT primary ftp5 since I inadvertly determined it was MIT. ftp1 also sends me on a trip around the world with the same result. If I can install xorg-7.5.2 I am hoping then that the install of kde4-4.8.4 will complete on this new install of FreeBSD 9.0 Does anyone else have a favorite ftp that cooperates? (And I notice the location in the server is different from the primaries on other servers?)

Fwd: Error in latest KDE4 install attempt
Hi FreeBSD - I thought someone would probably inspect the files for KDE4 so I would try to install periodically. This morning the error messages were slightly different. While attempting to install qzeitgeist-0.8.0 my machine almost immediately states that moc 4.8.2 has changed too much for these to be compatible. [During verifying qt-something] Then there is a list of items that are 'not in scope' - for instance monitoradaptor or classOrgGnomeZeitgeistDataSourceRegistryInterface. A fetch command for qzeitgeist-0.8.0 is not given so I would not know how to fetch a newer version if I knew the newer version. Which is to say are all the fetch commands from the distfiles directory?

Error in latest KDE4 install attempt
Hi FreeBSD - This note does not have the proper running commentary since I get hit from the Internet constantly. The other note on the page is from this past Friday I think. At 12a Tuesday (6/19) I decided to try installing KDE4 again. When I tried to change directory to /x11/kde4 the directory did not exist. I decided to try to install from my FreeBSD 9 disk at this point. In about 10 sec the install told me that it was unable to install 'qt4-svg-4.7.4' I then decided to update my ports collection with portsnap. When the fetch command was downloading the 4 updated metapackages I twice received this error [snapshot is corrupt gnuzip (stdin)] I then tried to change directory to /x11/kde4 thinking that since make is reported to try to fetch the latest files any kde4 would do. I succeeded and started make. The only option was for the 'better diagnostics' library. A bison file was fetched and then the installation began using only files that were found already on my computer. After a good 15 minutes this appeared: /usr/ports/devel/qt4-designer/work/qt-everywhere-opensourse-src-4.8.2/lib/QtDesignerComponents.so: undefined reference to 'QMetaObject: cast (QOject const*) const' Perhaps this helps.

hwpstate0 set frequency err 6
Hi FreeBSD - This is the fourth time I have installed FreeBSD while learning the in's and out's. I have a new mainboard this time (ASUS M5A97 EVO + AMD FX 8120.) I have set up dual booting because of a few legacy apps. When the boot of OS gets to the login prompt I begin to get the error message 'hwpstate0 set frequency err 6' During installation my super-workstation started to run as though it were getting the absolutely maximum stress test. The fans on my new Corsair H80 started to whine as well. The 'stress test' effect starts the three next times I have booted so I am not booting into FreeBSD at the moment. Any advice?
