32 bit to 64 bit
I'm upgrading a 7.3 -STABLE installation to 8.x, then 9- Stable over the next few days. The hardware is a Dell 2950 that is capable of running 64 bit FreeBSD. The original installation was i386 32 bit and that is what it is running now. Will the buildworld ---> buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO64 allow a 32 bit installation to build a 64 bit kernel? I'd like to upgrade this machine to 64 bit AMD and I'd prefer not to do it from a DVD if I can do it from source. Has anyone tried this and succeeded (or failed spectacularly) on a remote install/upgrade?

Re: php5 port seems broken

It seems that Apache 2.2 is not recognizing PHP now that it's installed. If I go to a php test page in a web browser this is all I see: These are the contents of the file I am hitting: I checked to see that in my main apache config file (httpd.conf) I have this line: LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so And of course I've restarted apache after installing the php5 port. :) And since apache isn't even recognizing php at this point hitting the test page does not generate any errors in the error logs.

Re: Was... A quick fix for Firefox mailto: issues Now... The other way round problem
If you backed up up your ~/.thunderbird file before you upgraded (yes, I
was shocked to see that I actually did back mine up), copy the
mimeTypes.rdf from your old install to the new install (its in the

No real problems to report. One minor issue I ran into is that disabling serial ports in BIOS causes FreeBSD to freeze when booting. The solution is simply to set serial ports to be "On without Console Redirection."

I've managed to build a partially working bigbluebutton (bigbluebutton-0.71_1) conference server on 9.0-Current, 8.2 Pre-Release and 7.3 stable platforms. On all versions of FreeBSD, I'm having the same issues, they are: 1. audio conferencing between web-joined users only works with asterisk 14. (14.39.1 sources --14.37 in ports is flagged for a security problem) I have no conference audio with asterisk16 or asterisk18 2. In the presentation module, Only one page of a document is ever displayed and only one thumbnail is ever created. The video camera sharing, the Desktop sharing, the whiteboard, and the built in text chat all seem to work fine. Does anyone have any similar experiences or solutions?

Remember you have to tell apache to run php files as programs. Do you
have the following lines in httpd.conf?
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Those lines should be right around row/line 217 in httpd.conf for apache 2.2

Everything seems to work fine except the mouse. There is an irritating delay that I can't seem to get rid of. For example, if I mouse to the address line in Firefox and begin typing in a url, nothing happens until I move the mouse. Then, suddenly, what I typed will appear in the address bar. If I'm working in a shell, for example running portupgrade, nothing happens until I move the mouse. Then suddenly portupgrade will start working. Has anyone seen this type of behavior? Have any idea what the cause might be or where to look to troubleshoot the issue? Paul, I had that exact symptom when I upgraded my kde3 ports and upgraded Xorg at the same time. It drove me nuts for a few days until I found the solution. I have some notes I have to go through but I'll post what I did from my notes as soon as I get a chance to review them.

You have the ability to maintain Contacts and Leads, create merged e-mail templates and other custom templates in vtiger, and it is so flexible you can hack up the code to make it do just about anything you can think of without going nuts trying to figure out how the program does what it does. You need Apache, php5 with some simple extensions, and MySQL (PostgresQL is coming soon). vtiger 5.1 also has an html e-mal editor built in and produces very servicable output.

Re: INN configuration
Thanks for the reply.
My server has a static IP (optonline.net) that has no ports blocked.
From my laptop client I can connect to news.optonline.net and grab a
full feed of all the newsgroups. What I'm trying to do is setup my own
news server using news.optonline.net as a peer. The error I get from my
client when I connect to my local news server is: "No newsgroups found"
even though I have the full list of newsgroups from isc.org installed.
I haven't been able to find a how-to on the internet (The FreeBSDDiary
has a workable how-to that only addresses a local news server) and the
instructions listed on the isc-inn site don't seem to address my issue.
/var/log/messages show no errors that relate to inn*

I've no experience on configuring a news server, but perhaps it would
help if you could share your existing config that you believe works.
Perhaps your client is on a network that forbids direct access to port
NNTP. If your client is on a different network than the one you are
serving off of, perhaps port NNTP is being blocked or otherwise filtered.
${networks} sometimes filter/rate limit/block outright ports that they
*claim* to be overloading their network [0], but no proof has yet been
supplied. Some ${networks} say that specific ports/protocols that may be
used for illegal file sharing are to blame. [1].
Start by stating the *exact* error message your client is getting... if
you can extract such a thing from (him|her), then provide anything you
can find in your NNTP server logfile(s).

After portupgrading to php5 (and all the -r extentions), yesterday, every site I had that used php5 broke. (I'm using apache 2.0.63). After commenting out scads of extentions and juggling the order in extension.ini, I gave up, pkg_deleted everything php5 or php5-* and rebuilt it all from scratch. That and a restart of apache restored all of my sites. Most of my sites were squirrelmail. serendipity and moodle based, but they are all back, now. I haven't re-enabled eaccelerator on my Moodle, sites, yet, because I know that needs to be rebuilt anytime php's version is bumped at all. I know that one of the conflicts in portupgrading was that the version of tidy that docproj uses and the php5 version of tidy won't play nice, together, but I suspect there is more to it than that. I've been installing and upgrading php* for years and this was the most trouble I've ever had with an upgrade. All of the systems are 7.1 -STABLE builds, 3 are i386 and 2 are AMD64; they've all been built from sources within the past week. I didn't see any caveats in /usr/ports/UPDATING about this upgrade.

Yes, and the make install pulled in dependencies on other perl

Following those dependencies resulted in the same, and so on...
I have no hair left to pull out, or it would be gone.
I'd wager that 'pkg_info -l p5-Module-Giving-You-Trouble' says everything

Actually, I was having that trouble, too. But for me the solution was
to deinstall perl-threaded, pkg_delete -f the non-deinstalled perl
5.8.9, rmconfig && make config-recursive in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8,
make sure the "build threaded perl" was unchecked and make install clean
from there. Before doing all that, I had run perl-after-upgrade
(several times) to no avail.
I'm not sure how I ended up with 2 perls installed, or why deinstalling
perl-threaded left one remaining, but all was (is) well after I reverted
perl as above.

Although, looking at the output of top, most of the memory is in the inactive state. As I understand it cache pages go from active to cached, and the inactive queue contains pages that need to be written out to swap before they can be reused. No. It just means they're not active -- nothing has touched them "recently". They may be dirty. They may not be. Recently means the last 20 seconds to a minute, depending. The very high level of inactive memory looks suspiciously like a memory-leak to me. Hopefully someone who knows more about this will step in - don't take my word for it. I have no data on the system in question, but it's very common for a machine to have large amounts of inactive memory, particularly one that's not under any sort of memory pressure. My basically idle workstation has 1.5 GB of memory, 5 MB free, and over a gig inactive. Since I'm not doing anything with it (I'm writing this from another machine), and its just hanging out, this is what I'd expect. Should it do something that requires memory, the pager will toss clean inactive pages to the free list, and they'll be reused. Of course, if what they're required for is something they already have in them (like the code segments of "recently" terminated application that's restarted), they'll get reused, saving having to read them from disk. The only time you'll large amounts of memory on the Free list is when a machine is first booted and hasn't touched that memory for anything, or when an application that's got a large dyanmically allocated block of memory terminates. The rest of the time, the free list should be small. If the machine isn't swapping, there's usually nothing to worry about.

The only problem with 64 bits mode is that some ports may have problems, but, as far as i know, these ports are more desktop oriented than server oriented. For a server i don't see a reason to run in 32 bits mode. Contrary to some frequent assertions the increase in size of binaries is extremely limited as can easily be checked. This is very largely compensated by the increase in the number of registers. The possibility of using more than 4 gigs memory is just one advantage of 64 bits mode, and by the way, very few of our machines have more than 4 gigs memory, and they don't lack it at all. Thanks, that was exactly what I needed to know. There won't be any Desktop apps on this machine and optimal performance is what I am after.

silicon Graphics hardware

If it truely does fail you'll not get a wpi0 device showing up, which clearly you did :). These warning messages will go away when I sync the next lot of updates to the driver which aren't quite ready yet. Can you describe a little more what you mean by wpi doesn't work?

Re: CDROM Boot Hangs But Only Under 6.x

Xorg 7.2 console switching problem
I tried doing some searching on this (mailing list and Google) but although I saw the problem mentioned, I didn't see much discussion or any resolutions.

After I upgraded both a Gateway laptop and a Dell Optiplex to Xorg 7.2 (both running 6.2-STABLE built July 26th), I lost the ability to alt-SHIFT-F1 -F8 and switch to a console. Console switching worked fine with Xorg 6.9. I found that I was missing the /usr/local/share/X11/compiled directory and the /usr/local/share/X11/compiled/server-0.xkm file. I made the directory and touch'd the filename, restarted X and I got the console-switching function back. I thought I followed the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING to the letter.

Accessibility hardware for the blind
I'm teaching the Open Source Unix certification track at NJIT (using FreeBSD 6.2) to a group of physically challenged students. Some of my current students have extremely low vision and I have several candidates for the next rotation of the classes that have similar low-vision problems or are completely sightless. I need to know if an audio solution exists (in hardware or software) that will speak monitor output. I need something that will work independently of X windows. I've tried using gnopernicus in both KDE and Gnome and I've never gotten its audio component to work. I can turn on KDE's talking tools, but it only speaks commands and entered text in specific applications (like Koffice). I need a screen reader that will speak the entire screen (and terminal windows). I haven't found a software solution that addresses all the needs of a spoken command line environment so I'm looking for a hardware solution (appliance or device) that will speak the screen, but I haven't found one, yet. One of my students was an employee of AT&T in their Unix division in NJ and is considering a job-offer from a consultant who will need him to administer servers using WebMin and a command line environment, but screen readers such as JAWS that work under Windows, do a poor job of interpreting WebMin and will not read the I/O from a terminal window created by Putty. So, in addtion to needing something that will speak console I/O, I need something that will properly interpret a Webmin environment. One portion of the course does teach using Lynx as a browser and Webmin (if one uses the simplest theme) will work in that environment. Any ideas, experiences, or recommendations that you have to share would be very much appreciated.

Try commenting out the following lines from your httpd.conf file: LoadModule php4_module AddModule mod_php4.c and restart apache. If that works, look in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini and see if there are any obvious php conflicting modules and comment them out --extension=recode.so has sometimes gotten placed back in that file even though it's a known conflict after an upgrade. Then restart apache. If there is no "obvious" conflict like the recode conflict, you may have to begin commenting out the extensions in that file one by one, restarting apache until it starts again. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

desktop video client for usb
Could someone point me to a resource which details the resources available for (or limitations to) doing desktop video via a usb eggcam (Logitech quickcam in this instance) The kernel (according to dmesg) sees the device as ugen0.3, but I'm yet to find a client program that will display the output of the camera in an xwindow. I've already built camserv (from ports) kldloaded the bktr.ko module and displayed the "test" camserv page in a webserver (something like http://localhost:9122) and I get a continuous changing of color pallete, so I'm pretty sure the software is working. I just need to know if there is any client support for USB "eggcam" devices. Any pointers to some relevant documentation appreciated, though sagefull rants also welcomed.

Re: FreeBSD Certifications? Does it exist?
I'm the instructor (and the author of) the NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) "Open source unix classes." The NJIT curriculum, while non-credit and classified as "Professional Development' is the Only University level course in the world that is both sanctioned as a bona fide certificate program (certificate endorsed by NJIT) AND endorsed by the FreeBSD foundation. (If you don't believe me, e-mail Robert Watson of the core FreeBSD team.) NJIT offers 3 courses in the BSD unix certification program: Intro to Unix, Unix Admin I and Unix Admin II in the certification track. Until a year ago, we also offered Solaris certification training: preparation for the Sun Solaris exam --which in the past 2 weeks has been announced as yet another open-source track. SUN plans, apparently, on basing its business plan on earning a profit from it's proprietary java implementations and it's hardware development. Unlike Sun, NJIT has placed 100 percent of it's successful certificate candidates in IT jobs, and all on a track to system administrator positions. The NJIT open source unix prgram remains a demanding and difficult program --not unlike commercial system administrator positions. While our selection process is both stringent and competitive, we welcome potential candidates to apply. Our next in-class instruction begins in early October; out next eLearning instruction begins September 1, 2004. http://cpe.njit.edu/noncredit/#opensourceunix Follow the links, and find out about our program: or. alternately, write [EMAIL PROTECTED] (me) for further details.

X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade: pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-* cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install pkgdb -F Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.

kdm refuses to allow non-root login to kde
[If this gets posted twice, I apologize for the noise] I've been battling this on and off (mostly off) since April. If I put exec startkde in .xesession in a non-root folder and I enable xdm in /etc/ttys, I can log into xorg's xdm and kde starts just fine -- even as a non-root user. If I enable kdm in /etc/ttys, I get the kdm login screen, and if I login with a non-root account, the display just stays at it's default background until I kill it with CNTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. At the kdm login screen, if I login as root, the kde desktop loads and starts just fine. I've read and implemented the commands in /usr/src/UPDATING regarding kde/kdm and I'm running the latest kde-everything as of a few hours ago. I do like Xorg's xdm, but I do like kdm/KDE better, but, apparently, kdm/kde doesn't like me at all. The box I'm currently testing this on is i386 FreeBSD-Current as of 8/7/2004, but I've also had this difficulty on 4.9/4.10 -STABLE installs at work. Any advice on wht I'm doing wrong (or a pointer to docs so I can RTFM) would be greatly appreciated.

If I put exec startkde in .xesession in a non-root folder and I enable xdm in /etc/ttys, I can log into xorg's xdm and kde starts just fine -- even as a non-root user. If I enable kdm in /etc/ttys, I get the kdm login screen, and if I login with a non-root account, the display just stays at it's default background until I kill it with CNTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. At the kdm login screen, if I login as root, the kde desktop loads and starts just fine. I've read and implemented the commands in /usr/src/UPDATING regarding kde/kdm and I'm running the latest kde-everything as of a few hours ago. I do like Xorg's xdm, but I do like kdm/KDE better, but, apparently, kdm/kde doesn't like me at all. The box I'm currently testing this on is i386 FreeBSD-Current as of 8/7/2004, but I've also had this difficulty on 4.9/4.10 -STABLE installs at work. Any advice on wht I'm doing wrong (or a pointer to docs so I can RTFM) would be greatly appreciated.

Mars software update 01 and 02 for FreeBSD 5.2
Updates 01 and 02 are now available. They work just dandy on FreeBSD 5.2. http://eris.njit.edu/~maestro Download jpl.tar.gz (the maestro viewer) Download Maestro-Update01-LinuxAndSolaris.tar.gz (and gunzip and tar-xf it one directory above your extracted JPL folder) Download Maestro-Update02-LinuxAndSolaris.tar.gz (and gunzip and tar-xf it one directory above your extracted JPL folder) Opportunity will soon be knocking on the rocky Martian surface... The Maestro software (written by the folks at the JPL) requires Linux emulation on FreeBSD 5.2. See the README at: http://eris.njit.edu/~maestro I haven't been able to get maestro to run under 4.9, but (I think) it is because of java3d's general discomfort with being installed in 4.x.

snd_maestro3.ko load/unload
FreeBSD 10.0.1.8 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0: Mon Dec 29 15:59:28 EST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PORCINUS i386 Hardware: Dell Latitude c800 laptop soundcard (from BIOS): maestro3 If I load snd_maestro3.ko from loader.conf (snd_pcm.ko is auto-loaded along with it), I get no sound in CLI or X --no beeps no anything. If I don't load anything from loader.conf, I get keyclicks (enabled in BIOS), but no ^G beeps in CLI or X. If I don't load anything from loader.conf, then kldload snd_maestro3.ko, then kldunload snd_maestro3.ko, then kldload snd_maestro3.ko again, keyclicks, ^G beeps and full stereo sound works in X. I've built (and rebuilt) ther kernel with device pcm, without device pcm -- the method described above works with no device pcm. I can make sound work by scripting the load/unload/reload process as zzz.maestro.sh and placing it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or does anyone have any ideas what might be going on? I don't have this problem with 4.9_STABLE or 5.2-CURRENT on Dell C600 latitudes --they use the same maestro3 card.

I don't have a natd.conf file on one of my development boxes, but I do have this in /etc/rc.conf: firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" natd_enable="YES" natd_flags="-redirect_port tcp 10.0.1.9:5800-6600 5800-6600" Yeah, it's wide open and insecure, but it does work and might be a starting point for you.

Re: IP Change
For the gateway, from the command line as root: # route add default (ip address of gateway) you can also configure the networking (as root)from /stand/sysinstall #/stand/sysinstall select Configure select Networking Follow the prompts from there.
