Re: Advice sought on Portmaster -Faf and deleted ports
Hi, I'm following the recipe at the end of man portmaster for deleting and reinstalling all my ports, which I have done many times in the past. This time, I am getting errors on the portmaster -Faf step involving deleted ports, and I'm not sure how to deal with this easily. What errors, exactly? Well, for example: portmaster -Faf it starts to fetch a bunch of files it finds a port which has been deleted, such as linux-base-fc4 and it says, linux-base-fc4 has been deleted. terminating terminating terminating etc. So, I am seeking expert advice here. Is there a way to automate this and keep myself out of trouble, or do I need to do a 'port-by-port' upgrade of each port? It should just work. Have you converted to pkgng? I dream of the day that the ports system will just work. I don't use binary packages, are you saying that pkgng will deal with this issue automatically?

I understand why portmaster quits that port. It does seem like a bit of over-kill to quit updating ALL ports because one is long gone. Seems like it could do the others. If you have ports that far out of date, the upgrade process is going to be long. Ports where the system does not know the replacement will have to be handled manually. Actually, the last time I updated my ports was when I installed 9.0, and I used the portmaster 'nuke all ports' method I was trying to day. Since then, several dozen ports of been 'deleted' or 'renamed', not just the linux_base-fc4. Seems in the case of ports which have been renamed or replaced, this could in fact be simply automated in most cases.

Not a single program on my system depended on that program being rebuilt. Portmaster should certainly refuse to rebuild anything that did, of course. ___ 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

NTFS 4 Terabyte drive problems on FreeBSD?

Exporting a ntfs-3g mounted drive over NFS?
Hello, Thanks to Dan Nelson I was able to mount my 4 TB drive using ntfs-3g. Now I need to export it over NFS, and it doesn't work. I'm using a bootable ZFS system, if that makes any difference. I don't see why it should. Basically, I can export a directory as long as a ntfs-3g filesystem is not moutned on it. And this is also true for the kernel ntfs system. The second a ntfs or ntfs-3g filesystem is mounted on it, there are problems. Here are more details: create a directory: /var/video, set globally readable and searchable permissions. I create a simple entry in /etc/exports: /var/VIDEO I copy some files in there and HUP mountd. I check to see that I can access the files on the clients. No problem. I go back, delete the files (just to be safe), and then I mount the ntfs-3g drive on /var/VIDEO with ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/da0s1 /var/VIDEO I check to see that I can see the ntfs filesystem in /var/VIDEO with ls (I can), and all the permissions are ok (every file is rwxrwxrwx). Then I HUP mountd. Mountd now tells me that my formerly good line in exports is bad. I can't access the files on the clients. I umount /var/VIDEO. I HUP mountd. All is well once again, on the server and the clients, except I can't access the files on the ntfs drive which I need to do. Anyone have any ideas what is going on here, and even better, how I might get it to work? Thanks!

Re: FreeBSD9 - I can't get my mouse to work
Walter Hurry walterhu...@gmail.com writes: Firstly, sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question. I am quite new to FreeBSD (though fairly experienced at Linux). Almost everything in FreeBSD is fine, except that no matter what I try I cannot get the (USB) mouse to work. I have scoured the handbook, and Googled, but to no avail. This is 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 - fully updated. I don't need the mouse in consoles, but I do want it in X. The clue here is 'fully updated'. The latest hald has a bug that keeps the mouse from working. If you look in your X.org.0.log you may find a section which says that /dev/ums, configured by hal, is busy, and unloads the mouse. If you don't find that, then ignore the rest of this email :) There are various solutions to this, one is to disable the auto configure, and add the configuration for both keyboard and mouse to the .conf file. Another is to restart dbus and hald. You can switch to a console window from X and run this command: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart If that fixes it, then you can automate it by putting something like this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d , call it haldfixbug or something like that: -- #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: HALD_FIX_BUG # REQUIRE: hald dbus # [ $1 = start ] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart echo DBUS HALD BUG FIX ATTEMPTED [ $1 = faststart ] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart echo DBUS HALD BUG FIX ATTEMPTED sleep 5 exit 0 - This might not work if you use startx, but should be ok with xdm or gdm.

Difficulties accessing optical drive from guest OS in VBox
Hi,
Not sure if this should be here orin freebsd-emulation, but thought it
worth a try:
Freebsd 9.0-RELEASE (GENERIC)
VBoxMange --version: 4.1.10_OSEr76795
Installed from Ports.
Window 7 as guest.
I can't access the host optical drive from the guest OS. I was able to
install it by dd'ing the install DVD to the harddrive, and VBox used
that beautifully.
It all works quite well, but whenever I try to use the actual optical
drive, I get a 'permissions error':
Unable to mount the CD/DVD Host Drive HL-DT-STDVDRAM GH24LS50 DVDRAM
GH24LS50 (cd0) on the machjine Windows_7_64bit. Would you like to
force mounting of this medium?
Could not mount the media/drive '/dev/cd0'
And the Details:
Interface:
IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
Callee:
IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}
Incidentally, inspite of the message, there is no force mount option
given, only 'cancel' and 'force unmount'.
I've followed the handbook and Wiki for the DVD/CD access, I'm in the
operator group, atapicam is loaded, hald is enabled and running and
the permissions for cd0, xpt0 and pass0 are all 0660.
I've also tried adding CD0 in the graphical interface before I start
the VM. Bizarrely, this caused VBox to try to boot from the DVD (even
though that is unchecked in the boot options).
The only other thing I've tried is to disable the automounting of
media with Gnome, in case that was interfering. No luck.
So, anyone have any ideas? They would be most appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Scott

Evolution problems...
Hope someone can help... I finally upgraded firefox, and in the course of this, libnotify.so.1 seems to have been deleted, which is required by evolution.

EXABYTE 8200 on FreeBSD 5.3
I know this is ancient technology, but we have a pile of exabyte tapes made on an 8200 and would like to recover some of the data on them. We have an old 5.3 machine which has an adaptec 2120S, and the Exabyte is connected to that. The kernel identifies the Exabyte on boot, but it's all downhill after that. The driver sometimes spits out a pile of errors (I'll append a sample at the end) and mt doesn't seem to do simple commands (like a retension). I note that the MT page for 5.3 says that not all SCSI-1 devices are supported. So before I invest more time in this, I am wondering if anyone can tell if the support is there for this configuration? If not, what (inexpensive) options do I have for possibly retrieving this data? Thanks a lot, Scott -- s...@ssr.com An mt status causes the driver to report: (sa0:aacp0:0:4:0): MODE SENSE(06).

Hi Tim, You write: I finally kldload(ed) snd_* and went through the list of the loaded modules until I eliminated useless loaded modules and found the one that actually let the sound files play. It was a pain in the butt, but it worked. What does kldstat say for your .ko loaded sound files?

Widescreen Monitor and X Help please
Hello, I'm upgrading from FreeBSD 5.3 to 8.1 --- much wonderful work has been done clearly, I'm very impressed and hat's off to the developers. Unfortunately I've hit a snag with X. I have an LG Flatron W2253, a 5750 graphics card and I have not been able to get them to work with X at all. Following the handbook's instructions: Xorg -config xorg.conf.new with and without the -retro option just give me a black screen from which there is no escape. I have to log into the machine from somewhere else on the network to reboot it. Killing the Xorg process doesn't help. Following the instructions on widescreen monitors, I have extracted a modeline from the log files: Section Monitor #DisplaySize 490 320 # mm Identifier Monitor0 VendorName LG (GSM) ModelNameW2253 # HorizSync30.0 - 83.0 # VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 ModeLine 1920x1080 138.5 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 # Option DPMS EndSection And I have modified the screen as follows: Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes 1920x1080 EndSubSection EndSection None of this has helped.

Re: Widescreen Monitor and X Help please
Hello Brian, So if you return to the tty that you started X from (maybe by Alt-F1) and hit Ctrl-C, that doesn't kill your X session? Reboot seems a bit drastic. That's correct. It kills the X session, but the terminal remains dark, and switches to 'lower power' mode. Using ctrl-alt-f1 or alt-f1 doesn't change the screen setting. I struggled with widescreen config for a while until I realized the Tao solution was best - have you tried starting X without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all? Tao solution? I'm not sure what that is, but I have tried just typing 'startx' and also tried starting using xdm. Unfortunately everything has the same result, which is a blank screen in power savermode :( Thanks for your help.

Re: Widescreen Monitor and X Help please
Hi Warren, Does the black screen show a mouse pointer? No escape including ctrl-alt-f1? No mouse pointer, nothing. The X process will be shutdown with a ctrl-c or ctrl-alt-delete, but the screen remains blank, in power saver mode. Nothing I do makes any difference on the monitor. Try running X without an xorg.conf. I've done that, and it works just the same. I saw your other message about HALD and read your interesting link, aei.html. I disabled the HALD and DBUS, and rebooted, tried again, but with the same results.

Belkin Wireless G notebook card

But kldstat showed the if_ndis driver loaded. I also tried copying the RT619x.sys file to the if_ndis directory, and doing ndiscvt -i rt61.inf -s rt61.sys -o -f RT619.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h make, make install. None of these seem to enable the card. dmesg tells me: cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=8000 cardbus0: network at device 0.0 (no driver attached) cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=8000 This sounds like there is some sort of builtin database that needs to be modified, but I can't seem to find anything in the handbook or manual pages.

System time suddenly changed after reboot.
Running 5.3-RELEASE. After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had occasion to reboot today, and a few hours later discovered to my horror that the system time had suddenly been moved ahead to the year 2020! I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it. This is the same hardware I have been running for a couple of years now, and I haven't changed anything in the bios or system.

Re: can't get the Linux aaccli to work under 4.8-RELEASE, 4.9-RC1, 5.1-RELEASE
The aaccli from the CD complains about an incorrect ABI version of the
libncurses.so.5 - it's wrong, the so.5 is really missing, this issue
can be solved by exporting a LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to
/cdrom/bootcd/usr/lib in the current shell, or by copying the library from
the CD into /compat/linux/usr/lib.
This might indicate that your linux_base is not completely
installed. There seems to be a bug (at least, there is on my
computers), where /usr/ports/linux_base coredumps during the
install. I also found the package leaves the same core file, but
doesn't report an error. The only work around for this that I found is
to do the install from single user mode.
CLI open aac0
Command Error: The driver could not execute the requested IOCTL SENDFIB,
22=invalid argument.
linux: 'ioctl' fd=4, cmd=0x2008 (' ',8) not implemented
The IOCTL code seems to match. Both the FreeBSD and the
Linux aac driver source files define essentially the same codes:
FSACTL_SENDFIB CTL_CODE == 0x0004 | (2050 2)
== 0x0004 | (0x0802 2)
== 0x00042008
This means you need to include options LINUX_COMPAT in your kernal
configuration file. (Thanks to Scott Long who helped me with this a
while back.)

I've heard good thinks about IPF. like IPFW and the netbsd firewall IPF has been ported to FBSD so there other options. I have used both IPFW and IPFILTER, IPFW's keep state rules do not function correctly on a DSL or cable internet connection, it has just been upgraded in FBSD 5.2 with a lot fluff that does nothing but confuses the general user. I'm interested to hear what the problem is with IPFW and keep-state, they have been working fine here, as far as I can tell. I have never used IPFW with ppp, but it looks like the original poster needs to provide a natd_interface, so that a divert rule gets enabled.

Upgrade from 4.7 - 4.8 problem?
Hello, I upgraded from 4.7 - 4.8 today, and sysinstall claimed that the installation failed, saying it couldn't even install the bin distribution set... However, it boots with the 4.8 kernel, and all the modification times I have checked in the system directories say Apr 3 of this year, the same as the new kernel file... I ran the install twice, and tried to watch the messages using ALT-F2, but they scrolled by very quickly and I can't seem to find a log file of the install anywhere. So I'm really not sure what is going on. I'd like to know if there is a way to tell if the system was completely upgraded. Alternatively, I'd like to know how much trouble I am in :-) Thanks, Scott -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: nfs performance
recently I discovered problems with my FreeBSD nfs server. I mount my /home/user from my linux box via automounter/nfs from my server. They are connected with a switch on a 100baseTX Ethernet. Now, whenever I copy large files from a local driver to my home dir or do anything else that involves moving some bigger amounts of data to my home dir the nfs server times out and doesnt respond anymore. Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated, I could never get NFS to work reliably on Linux. The server here is slow and needs to be upgraded to newer iron and runs OpenBSD, but Linux is the only client OS that exhibited these problems. I observed them always on writing to the server with large files, reads seemed to work fine, no matter what the file size. I spent considerable time fiddling with timeouts, cachesizes and so on, this was several months ago, but I remember thinking this had something to do with the attribute caching. I was advised by a Linux guru friend of mine that the kernel NFS on Linux had multiple problems, and he advised me to use the userland NFS. I didn't follow this advice, choosing to try FreeBSD instead. So far, it has worked with minimal problems. Once every couple of weeks, I start getting NFS Server not responding messages, but switching to TCP transport seems to have cured that, and provided better performance as well.
