Good Day;

Ditto on this thread.  No amount of deinstall/reinstall, recompiling
kernels and world, or config file tweaking have granted me success.
As I have posted; I am on

I haven't had much luck searching freebsd-multimedia@ either.  Bug
report time?

Thank You,

Do you get any better results if you use the SCSI address of your drive
instead of the device name?


cd0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0

Try using:

export CDDA_DEVICE=1,0,0
export CDR_DEVICE=1,0,0

And see if your cdrtools at least work.  Audio CD playing apps still
have problems, though, unfortunately.


Thank You,

Setting these environment variables had no effect on my machine.  
$cdcontrol play 1 still produces drive activity but no sound.  The 
graphical apps I am trying such as Abraca, or MPlayer, still do not seem 
to recognize an audio CD.  Gnome Audio CD Extractor - Sound Juicer - 
still errors with 'No CD-ROM drives found' even though Metallica is in 
the drive.
I am doing $portupgrade -a with updates downloaded today, to see if it 
will change anything.  Other than that FreeBSD 9 is working splendidly 
on this laptop.

Re: Help needed: sound/audio only semi-working

I've been bringing up a new amd64 box with 8.2-RELEASE.  So far I've managed
to get everything installed OK, including a boatload of freshly-built ports.
I've even gotten flash10 working with firefox... well...

Unfortunately, this is only MOSTLY working.  The video works great, but for
audio all I get is absolute silence.

The really strange thing is that after I followed all the directions here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

This command:

 cat /dev/random>  /dev/dsp

*does* produce quite a bit of white noise sound.  However when I perform
the other officially recommended basic audio functionality test:

 cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1

with one of my favorite old audo CDs in the drive (AND with that special
little wire running from the back of the drive to my motherboard) all that
happens is that the CD/DVD drive apparently _does_ start to read some stuff...
as evidenced by the blinking access light in the front of the drive... but I
still get no sound out, and YouTube videos still aren't giving me any audio
even though the video seems to be playing perfectly.

So, um, I am grasping for ideas here on how I can debug this problem furher.
I really have no idea what to do next to get this debugged.  I supposed that
if nobody gives me a good suggestion, I'm gonna try swapping out that special
little wire for another one and then try swapping the CD/DVD drive for another
one if that still doesn't solve it.

Sigh.  :-(  I just checked and yes, the CD/DVD drive _can_ mount a data CD
alright.  No problems doing that.

So how can it be that this works just fine:

cat /dev/random>  /dev/dsp

even while this:

   cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1

causes the disk to spin up and read, but otherwise produces utter silence?

I'm flummoxed.

Any help would be appreciated.

rfg

Good Day;

Thank You for the replies.  Got the part about not mounting an audio 
CD.  I wasn't trying to.  Inserting the disc in the drive brought up the 
error message.  Mounting a data CD or DVD acts normally and the

What does:

I assume you're a member of wheel.

Can't access a music CD

2011-10-09 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

Since installing FreeBSD 9-beta2 (now 9-beta3) I have not been able to 
play a music cd with the dvd writer on this laptop.  It is a Dell 
Latitude D630.  I have built several new worlds and kernels with the 
following devices enabled in the kernel config.;


devicescbus# SCSI bus (required for ATA/SCSI)
devicech# SCSI media changers
deviceatapicam
deviceda# Direct Access (disks)
devicesa# Sequential Access (tape etc)
devicecd# CD
devicepass# Passthrough device (direct ATA/SCSI access)
deviceses# SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE)

$uname -a

19:48:29 CDT 2011 
michael@..net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL_100811  amd64


This kernel was built after a recent csup and portsnap fetch.  The 
buildworld and buildkernel steps have executed several times without 
error.  A recent portupgrade only updated a couple of applications.


dmesg says this;

cd0 at ata0 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0

cd0: 33.300MB/s transfers (UDMA2, ATAPI 12bytes, PIO 65534bytes)
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present 
- tray closed


and /boot/loader.conf says this;

linux_load="YES"
atapicam_load="YES"

With a music CD in the drive /var/log/messages says this;

and /etc/devfs.conf says this;

I think I might be missing something in /etc/devfs.conf.  man devfs.conf 
or the handbook did not get me any closer to a solution.


It worked under 8.2 on this machine.

Thank You for the help.

I see from the download page that the package is for FreeBSD 8.x which
uses libz.so.5 so you might have compatibility problems with 9-beta2.

As a workaround you could try putting the following line
in /etc/libmap.conf

libz.so.5 libz.so

Thank You for the response.  I decided to post this issue to 
freebsd-security with the hope that nessus might be a w.i.p. on FreeBSD 9.

I would suggest to get the package from tenable.com and install it via
pkg_add. That's how it worked for me but on FreeBSD 8.2-stable. Might worth a
shot.

on new world built last night.

From /usr/ports/security/nessus-libraries/files/README.bpf

"Nessus uses the pcap library, which uses the berkeley packet filter (bpf)
to do its job.

Since Nessus used multiple processes, several pcap-aware plugins will
need to access the the bpf at the same time.

This means that you need to recompile your kernel with the following option:

pseudo-device   bpf

If for instance you want to have 10 nessusd running at the same time,
each running 5 plugins in parallel, you should create 50 (10 * 5) bpfs
(as nessusd is extremely lightweight, you can expect to have this amount
 of processes running at the same time)

If you plan to scan a whole network, we recommand you create at least
100 of them.

Once your kernel has been rebuilt, get root, cd to /dev
and do:

  ./MAKEDEV bpf+100

For FreeBSD 5.x this is not needed since the devfs creates devices when 
needed.


If you can not recompile your kernel, you can try to run the configure
script with the option --enable-bpf-sharing. In this case, nessusd will
try to share one /dev/bpf among multiple processes and do the filtering
in userland. NOTE THAT THIS OPTION IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL AND WE DO
NOT RECOMMAND ENABLING IT."

Is this referring to an 8.2 system?
psuedo-device does not work on 9.0 kernel source.

Have not tried the MAKEDEV command yet because I do no

FreeBSD 9-BETA2 on a Dell Latitude D630

2011-09-21 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

I wish to post a successful installation of FreeBSD 9.0 on a Dell 
Latitude D630 laptop.  Base installation was from binaries on the -amd64 
dvd.iso.  Xorg and gnome from ports fetched via portsnap on 09/18/11.  
csup'd kernel and userland source yesterday.  This is a fresh built 
custom kernel without debugging, SCSI or RAID modules.  I do not
know what this means 'GEOM_PART: Partition 'ada0p3' not suitable for 
kernel dumps (wrong type?)'.  I am still investigating why Perl 5.12.4 
dumped core at the end but otherwise the machine seems to be operating well.

2011-06-14 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

Trying to do portupgrade -a on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64.  The build gets to orca.

#>Configuring for orca-2.32.1_1

Then hangs at

#>checking for python module pyatspi...

I do not require accessibility packages and I do not routinely use python.
What am I missing?

portsnap fetch
portsnap upgrade

on 06/12/2011

* UPDATE *

I logged on to another ssh session on the machine, then su'd to root and 
killed the python process

that was hung.  The configure script error'd out then portupgrade continued.

All I can find is Linux problems with pyatspi on Google.

Thank You,
Michael

I am sorry that I cannot give you the exact error message because I did 
'make clean' in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 during my 
troubleshooting.  Google produced the above hits and they are the same 
type of module build error I am seeing.

My build error is in module moz.

The kernel, system and userland are from binaries downloaded from 
ftp.freebsd.org on 05/29/2011.  portsnap fetch/extract on 05/30/2011.


I have made no adjustments to /etc/make.conf.  Reading 
/usr/ports/UPDATING back to 20100617 yields no clues.


I am downloading the package from 
http://files.bsdroot.lv/my/FreeBSD/office-amd64/ right now.  I would 
like to know if something is amiss with dependencies on amd64.  Or, 
should I just forget building from source for now?


Thank You,

Good Day;

While I cannot speak to your segfaults, core dumps and RVM issues, 
trying to get makeworld to succeed.  I can say that I have had great 
success with the MFSBSD .iso available from;


http://mfsbsd..vx.sk

It is at version 8.2-RELEASE on both i386 and amd64.  Setting up a ZFS 
only installation has worked without error on both Intel Core2 duo and 
amd64 (athlon64).  I have had to do some ZFS tuning once the base system 
was installed.  4G of ram appears to be rather sparse on either 
architecture.  Adding disks to the pools and changing the filesystem 
layouts to comply with my requirements was painless.  Generally, it just 
worked.  I was then able to csup the kernel source, userland, and ports 
tree.  Keeping the ports tree current fixed most all of my build problems.
Over the last year I have had machines on FreeBSD 8.0, PC BSD, NetBSD, 
kFreeBSD and back to FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE (with ZFS)
On the main workstation I use for testing, an AMD Athlon64 with 3G of 
ram, make buildkernel takes 30 - 40 minutes and make buildworld takes 
several hours.

ZFS is ver. 15.
I've found the docs available from SUN/Oracle to be very helpful.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461

Hope this helps somewhat.

freebsd zfs question

2011-05-01 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

A week or so ago I experienced an error trying to compile openoffice.org 
from ports.  The build failed from an error I was since able to resolve.
This machine is at #>uname -r rainey 8.2-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 
8.2-RELEASE-p1 #2: Wed Apr 27 04:37:38 UTC 2011 
michael@rainey:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL_042511  amd64
During that episode the workstation locked up and the only way to 
recover was to do a hard reset (power off).  I then noticed during the 
next weekly scrub that I had increasing errors listed for the root pool 
during that particular scrub;


# zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
status: One or more devices has experienced an error resulting in data
corruption.  Applications may be affected.
action: Restore the file in question if possible.  Otherwise restore the
entire pool from backup.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A
 scrub: none requested
config:

tankONLINE   0 0 0

 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM
tank1   ONLINE   0 0 0
  ad12p2ONLINE   0 0 0

errors: No known data errors

Tank consists of 2 300G PATA drives in a mirror.  Tank1 is a 500G SATA 
drive I just added recently to use for data archiving.  The stuff I wish 
to protect is backed up to a network file server manually via NFS.  I 
have scrubbed the pool showing errors several times now with no 
increases or decreases in error counts.  I have issued #>zpool clear 
tank a number of times with no change in the error count.  The document 
listed (www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-8A) was of no apparent help for my 
condition.  I have drives I can export to and import from but I am 
unclear as to whether I will be just moving the bad blocks around.


Sample of the output of #>zpool status -v tank;

<
tank/root:<0x1097e7>
tank/root:<0x1096e8>
tank/root:<0x1097e8>

Not sure what to do with these.  Why doesn't #>zpool clear tank delete 
these?  The directory /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/work was not 
able to be deleted after the failed build, so I moved it to /oldwork to 
get the port to build.  /oldwork still cannot be deleted.

Attempts to delete the above directories fail.
I've read articles about 'bit rot' and such in ZFS metadata but 
memtest86 completes without error on this machine's 3G of ram.  I see no 
applicable information in dmesg or /var/log/messages.  The drives have 
been running 24/7 since the initial incident with no increase in the 
error count.

make all vs buildworld

2011-04-19 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

Can someone tell me what the difference between using /usr/src#>make 
buildworld vs /usr/src/#>make all.  I know that FreeBSD uses
make buildkernel and make buildworld to routinely build the kernel and 
userland.  Yet, I had an issue with a recent buildworld (after buildkernel).
It error'd out building a kerberos5 library and I lost patience trying 
to figure it out.  I tried /usr/src#>make all and the build went to 
completion

without error.  What would I hurt if I then did /usr/src/#>make install?

Problem with an ATI x2900 video adapter

2011-04-09 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;

I am in the final steps of completing a fresh installation of FreeBSD 
8.2 on a workstation with a DFI LanParty motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 
processor, 3 GB of ram, an ATI Radeon x2900 graphics card, and root on 
ZFS filesystem.  Using ports.tar.gz downloaded, and src CVSup'd this 
morning, gnome2 is still compiling and installing.  While I did have 
some minor issues with the build of some dependencies, it was nothing I 
could not work through.  I was surprised this afternoon when, while the 
installation of gnome2 was working, I think it was building GCC 4.4 and 
friends, the HP 2010i LCD monitor I use on the machine appeared to lose 
the input to its DVI port.  The HD activity light was still flickering 
so I let it continue and waited a hour or so for it to quit indicating 
activity before I pressed the reset button.  The PC restarted and no 
filesystem errors were apparent on restart.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this or, if a PR is 
necessary against the Xorg radeon driver.

The ATI Catalyst utility needs windows or linux and I have neither.
There is nothing of value in dmesg or Xorg.0.log

I'm not sure about ebook specifically, but there's a wrapper for gcc called
colorgcc which colorizes the diagnostics and errors that gcc emits. The idea is
that one can just do something like "CC=colorgcc make" when building.

I'm sure there are other programs out there that do something similar,
but colorgcc is the most common I think. Apparently there are similar
wrappers for make and diff as well.

Good Day,

I have seen this for some time when building ports and was wondering how
it was done.  GCC when compiling and linking certain programs, ebook for
example, emits messages in various colors.  How is that done?
 

"Whatever it is" that is writing the messages is putting out 'terminal
control' character strings that specify the color.

   

Where does
one find what the various colors are supposed to signify?
 

Read the _complete_ documentation for 'whatever it is' that is producing
the messages.  The colors signify 'whatever it is' that the author of that
software chose to represent with that color.  There are *NO* "universal
standards" for such things.

   

Or, is it just
because it's more appealing?
 

(A) "appealing" is in the eye of the beholder.
(B) *why* 'somebody' did something/anything is known *only* to the party
 that actually _did_ it.  You can ether ask *them* or get uninformed
 speculation from third parties.

In broad, diagsnotic messages can be divided into a minimum of 4 'classes'
(finer gradation is always possible):
 diagnostic -- 'gory details' of what the program is doing internally, to
find out where what it is actually  doing is different from what one
'expects' it to be doing.
 informational -- things you might 'want to know about', but do not
indicate potentially incorrect operation.
 warning -- things which *probably* indicate a problem, but might be
'as intended'
 error -- something which is, without question, incorrect, and prevents
proper program operation.


A developer -might- use different colors for different 'classes' of messages,
so that an experienced user of that program (who 'knows' what color is used
for what) can tell 'at a glance' the  serverity of the thing being reported.
[ see (B), above, as regards applicability to -your- situationn ]

No.  The handbook is a bit misleading here.  First it starts to
mention that, after updating your base system, you will probably need
to update any ports and/or packages, too.  Then, without any warning,
it jumps abruptly into a discussion of how to update the base system
with the 'freebsd-update' method.  That method seemingly requires a
GENERIC kernel to be present, which is what the paragraph you quoted
mentions.  But you're already past that point -- you've already
updated your base system, and it seems that you built from source, so
that paragraph isn't relevant, anyway.  Just proceed with updating
your ports.  (And bear in mind that PC-BSD has some issues with using
both FreeBSD ports and the PC-BSD packaging system, so you may want to
consult their documentation as well as that of the FreeBSD project, if
you plan to use PBIs, too.)

Thank You,

All still appears to be going well with portupgrade.   KDE4 and friends 
and Virtualbox-OSE haven't upgraded yet.  I do not use binary packages 
on the BSD systems I run, if I can avoid it, for philosophical reasons.  
But, I'll check their (PC-BSD's) docs also.

1024x768.  The machine has an ATI Radeon video card and I am using a 
V.G.A. cable not H.D.M.I.  I reconfigured my /etc/xorg.conf using Xorg 
--configure.  I was given the full screen at 1600x900 resolution at the 
next reboot but then while trying to adjust some monitor settings such 
as Power Saver and Sleep Timer the screen adjusted to the right and will 
not center.  Adjusting the horizontal control to '0' (full left?) will 
not center the display.


Futzing around, I rebuilt the kernel with;

options  X86BIOS   # x86 real mode BIOS emulator, required by 
atkbdc/dpms/vesa

devicevga   # VGA video card driver
deviceagp   # support several AGP chipsets
devicedpms# DPMS suspend & resume via VESA BIOS

among others.  I include these because I believe they are the only 
options and drivers that would affect video on this particular machine.

was FreeBSD 8.1 success, now PC-BSD success

2010-10-29 Thread Michael D. Norwick

Good Day;
I just completed a new PC-BSD install on the same machine I last posted 
a success message for FreeBSD 8.1.
I do not have time to fiddle much right now and upgrading FreeBSD 8.1 
from ports was giving me fits.  But, living on the edge has it's price.  
I took the advise provided by responders to my original post and 
downloaded the PC-BSD net install CD and the dvd.iso (5 hours) then 
started the install early this evening.  I got both so I would be 
prepared to install locally if the net install didn't work or, from the 
net if the DVD did not work.  Both turned out to be true however.  I 
burned 2 or 3 dvd's that panic'd shortly after the modules loaded.  It 
did not matter whether I had ACPI enabled or not.  The net install CD 
recognized my Intel EtherExpress Pro card but refused to start an FTP 
session to download the packages.  I had a USB dvd-rom drive and 
thankfully I was able to use it to load base, packages, ports, and src 
from the dvd.iso after performing the setup from the CD.

Initial impressions:
1.  Nice installation program (I'm coming from the debian installer 
which seems to be the standard against which others are measured)

2.  Sensible hard disk partitioner 'advanced' mode
3.  Very cool logo
4.  Xorg configured graphics on the first run
5.  Do not like the default passwordless login

I'm still running on the first tank of gas so I guess I will post when 
I've had more time behind the wheel.


Thank You,  Again, great job by the PC-BSD development team!

Michael

 1.  Use csup, not cvsup.  csup is in the base system.
 2.  Consider using portsnap instead.
 3.  Deleting your ports tree before updating it will waste time and

 I have not looked at PC-BSD because I thought the BSD's were all

 PC-BSD is just a desktop installation of FreeBSD and KDE.  Well,
 there's a little more to it than that, but it *is* FreeBSD, not a
 different BSD.



Thank You, point taken.  'portupgrade kdelibs4' stopped a quarter of the
way through on a fresh ports tree.  The following is a sample of the errors:

I agree that removing /usr/ports when I have a major build issue is a
waste of bandwidth if, the issue is not due to a tainted ports tree.  I
was just referencing an old(?) thread or howto that suggested it.  This
procedure had fixed another build issue with a graphviz dependency in
the past so, I guess I took it to heart.

I appreciate the responses and maybe I should be on PCBSD.  I'm not
running Apache2 or serving a couple hundred clients.  I just wanted to
run with the big dogs.

I do blame the organizational infra-structure that exists.  ie., we should

can be mechanically read and a configuration built.

We do ./configure for software we install.  Same thing, but for all aspects
of the hardware.  The present "configure" logic covers the OS and the
installed software, we need to do this for hardware.

I notice that freeBSD download's and installs trails Linux.  That's okay.
FreeBSD is so much better, and in so many ways, too.

Nothing I've seen in Linux lands comes close to the "sysinstall" command or
the plainly superior organization of FreeBSD.  What I'm trying to encourage
is that we, as a group, work on our infra-structures, like strengthing the
already high level of organization we have in sysinstall.

How about a query program that examines a machine.  Is this practical?
Something like the automated X-install process that makes it unnecessary to
set the horizontal and vertical frequencies ourselves (which we used to have
to do.)  But not for X, for the sound card, for as much as possible.

portsnap update on 09/08/2010.

Trying to do 'portupgrade -a',  initially had a portupgrade stop at 
'/usr/ports/graphviz'  an error about 'dot' and doxygen.  Built doxygen 
and graphiz from the individual /usr/ports/*** directories after 
'portsclean -DLP' and individual 'make clean' in the respective 
/usr/ports directories.  Had the "/usr/local/include/python2.6/pth.h 
link to /usr/local/include/pth/pth.h" issue.  Fixed that and portupgrade 
borked at building gnome-menus.  '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpth'.  Did 
ln -s /usr/local/lib/pth/libpth.a /usr/local/lib/ and ln -s 
/usr/local/include/pth/pth.h /usr/local/include/python2.6/ - again.  Ran 
make install clean from /usr/ports/x11/gnome-menus after executing make 
clean.  Still no joy.
Yeah, I'm a 15 year linux guy, but, I've installed and used FreeBSD 
around the 5.0-RELEASE days so I don't think I'm totally clueless.  I'm 
running it as a virtual machine because I would like to install it on a 
new machine once I get past the test drive and checkout.
Tried to build a new kernel a week or two ago and that went awry.  
Deleted the VM and reinstalled from the RELEASE dvd.iso.

What am I doing wrong?

Michael D. Norwick

PS: I've R.T.F.M'd and Googled.  Filed a bug report on the graphviz 
issue but now I don't think it was a problem with the graphviz build.

Good evening;

I am using;
$uname -r
$8.0-RELEASE
hosted on Sun VirtualBox 3.1.6. (NOT O.S.E.) running on Debian 'lenny'.

I am a long time Debian GNU/Linux user who has just installed the above 
release.  I have installed and used FreeBSD in years past but that was 
around the 5.x-RELEASE.  I have had a time installing applications from 
the ports tree (a story for another day) and finally resorted to 
installing binaries from the install dvd to get a working X 
distribution.  I wanted to start with the 'minimal' set of packages and 
build from there.  3 trys at it failed at different points.  At the 
moment I have the distributed binaries installed and am 
compiling/installing gcc 4.4 and friends.
I have the current FreeBSD handbook but it does not seem to have the 
answer to the following question.
When building and installing an application from ports, how does the 
original binary or script, in /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /etc..., from the 
distribution, get removed?  The make install foo command does not appear 
to symlink the original application location to the new one in 
/usr/local/whatever.  Does it even matter?   From reading various docs 
on-line tonight it seems it might.

I am a long time Debian GNU/Linux user who has just installed the above 
release.  I have installed and used FreeBSD in years past but that was 
around the 5.x-RELEASE.  I have had a time installing applications from 
the ports tree (a story for another day) and finally resorted to 
installing binaries from the install dvd to get the full working X 
distribution.  I wanted to start with the 'minimal' set of packages and 
build from there.  At the moment I have the distributed binaries 
installed and am compiling/installing gcc 4.4 and friends.
I have the current FreeBSD handbook but it does not seem to have the 
answer to the following question.
When building and installing an application from ports, how does the 
original binary or script, in /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/etc..., from the 
distribution, get removed?  The make install foo command does not appear 
to symlink the original application location to the new one in 
/usr/local/whatever.  Does it even matter?


Thank You,

Correct build order for MIT krb5 and ssh

2006-06-16 Thread Michael D. Norwick
I'm not sure if this is the right group for this question, but I am
still fairly new to FreeBSD so I thought I would start here first.
I have been trying to get a working MIT Kerberos KDC on a server running
6.1-Release.  I have been able to keep the heimdal version from being
built during several past 'make worlds' and I have compiled and
installed MIT krb5 from /usr/ports (current per portmanager).  I have
been getting an error tryiing to start sshd (also built from
/usr/ports), it complains about not finding 'libkrb5.so.8' then exits. 
I have been able to start the KDC but have not gotten much further as I
would like to fix the ssh problem first.  My questions are as follows:
1.  Is libkrb5.so.8 a heimdal library?
2.  Which source directories are the correct ones to use,
/usr/src/kerberos - /usr/src/secure, or /usr/ports/security/krb5 -
/usr/ports/security/openssh?
3.  Why are there two different directories i.e; /usr/src and /usr/ports
for the same source?
4.  How do I get 'kerberized' ssh and give configure directives to the
krb5 make to include GSSAPI support?
5.  Is there a certain build order for MIT kerberos and openssh?

I have read both the Handbook and the 'Complete' book on this subject
and have not been able to glean enough information to get me going,
Google didn't help much either.  I have 6 Debian clients, 2 WinXP
clients, and 1 Debian KDC slave and wanted this machine to be an MIT-KDC
master and yet avoid the apparent 'kadmin' server incompatibility
between Heimdal and MIT Kerberos (which all the Debian clients run).  I
am also very comfortable with the MIT version.  Any words of wisdom
would be greatly appreciated.

Heimdal/MIT and Sendmail/Postfix

2006-05-09 Thread Michael D. Norwick
Why does FreeBSD default to installing Heimdal Kerberos and Sendmail and
how do I change the upgrade process to keep MIT/Postfix and not install
Heimdal/Sendmail??

No not at all.  It is frustrating to see a new error and not know why it
occured (then maybe have it happen again later).  I've got some years on
Linux but FreeBSD is foreign enough to challenge my knowledgebase.  I
thank you for your help.

Per the previous suggestion I built and installed portmanager, deleted
the distfiles tree and started again.  So far it is still moving along

I downloaded over them so I will take both suggestions and delete the whole 
mess and rebuild.  The Handbook and The 'Complete' book are not too clear on 
the advantages of portupgrade over portmanager.  Right now the build(upgrade) 
got to 'gimp-print' and is freaking out with:

'warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions' for every .c 
file in the package due to not hiding #pragma's from traditional C in the 
header files.  Ho-Hum.  Maybe a problem with autoconf and friends???  
Soldiering on.

Thank You for the help.

Can't build bash3.1 during portupgrade -a

2006-05-06 Thread Michael D. Norwick
freebsd 6.1 RELEASE Compaq Proliant SMP PII-200 (smp modified kernel)

Over a week ago I was trying to rebuild Xorg and ran into an issue with
libexpat.so.5 not found for 'fc-cache'.  This was my fault because
earlier I wanted  expat2, built it from the 'ports' collection tarball
current (at that time) from ftp2.us.FreeBSD.org, and apparently broke
the dependency for libexpat.so.5.  Following the advice given to another
user on freebsd-questions, I did pkgdb -F then portupgrade -a in order
to fix the dependencies and get Xorg 6.9.0.  Little did I know that it
would take over a week to upgrade and rebuild 119 installed packages on
my PII-200 SMP Proliant.  Other than a couple of burps with boost-python
and postgresql, the upgrade has kept chugging along.  Today, I am almost
to the end and the Mozilla build flaked out.  No worries on that yet,
but the script suggested doing pkgdb -F again and restarting
portupgrade.  I dutifully followed and when portupgrade restarted it
tried to build bash31aborted with the following error which I do not
understand.  When the 'make bash31' stopped on error the first time I
manually downloaded the whole bash31 file set again to
/usr/ports/distfiles/bash from ftp4.us and re-ran portupgrade -a.  It
stopped again with the same error.  What is happening here?

I'm on DSL.  The client wants to switch to EXTENDED PASSIVE MODE the
first time I want to change directories when connecting manually.  I end
up selecting passive 'off' to change directories without the connection
locking up.  I tried allowing bi-directional FTP requests through my
firewall.  Still no joy.
Just finishing up building KDE, it's been on and off for three days!

Thank You for the reply.

Numerous ftp timeouts - why?

New to FreeBSD not new to *nix.  Have the docs/handbook/faq, etc.  Using
freebsd 6.0 RELEASE on Compaq Proliant 2500R.
Why when trying to install various apps from ports do the ftp sessions
frequently timeout?  If I manually fetch packages from
sites the download goes ok, but this means I have to copy files to
/usr/ports/distfiles manually.  did 'man fetch' but still no clue
as to why this happens.

The error I stated above - 'xf86EnableIO:  Failed to open /dev/io for
extended I/O'.  I am in the process of making another kernel configured
with only the necessary elements for SMP and networking including
'device io'.  I guess I'll see what happens.

Can't configure Xorg of FreeBSD 6.0 STABLE

2006-04-03 Thread Michael D. Norwick
Just got done installing FreeBSD 6.0 STABLE from CD on a Compaq Proliant
2500 formerly running RedHat FC4.  Relatively painless install thank
you, though, I have a steeper learning curve than anticipated.  I am
following the 2005 FreeBSD Handbook and successfully built a new kernel
for this machine, which booted and enabled both processors.  I was
having a niggly problem with a drive so I had to reinstall.  The problem
I had on the first try has re-emerged on this install.  I cannot get
Xorg to start.  I built a proper xorg.conf but when trying to 'startx'
the xserver bombs with a logged 'xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io
for extended I/O'.  I googled one similar problem from a 5.4 install and
it suggested building a kernel with 'device io'.  It would seem that
GENERIC would have this, though maybe not?  I am using a PCI S3 Virge
card not the onboard Cirrus video device.  My other logs give no clue as
to a device not found.
In addition to the above, the handbook I have, suggests in Chap. 20 -
The Cutting Edge, to do 'make buildworld', 'make buildkernel', and 'make
install kernel'.  Is this the normal order of things, even with a STABLE
source tree?

Thank You,

Michael Norwick
