I don't know, but this is what I read on a Gentoo wiki page: (related to
bugs in a Gentoo package)
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags

Before you submit a bug report, compile with just "-O2 -march=i686 -pipe"

Good luck.

Re: X/gnome through ssh, clashes with local gnome?

2007-05-01 Thread Warren Head

2007/5/1, Lowell Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Why are you trying to start a window manager on the remote machine?
You only need (or can have) one per session, and in this case (as in
most cases), I would expect it to be on the machine that is running
the X server (which seems to be your Ubuntu machine).

Just log into the FreeBSD machine and run your applications; they
will be displayed on your existing X session.

Mmm, good point.

So, you're saying that although I can run things on my server,
I shouldn't have expected to get the RDP/VNC extra's (if you can call it
that) such as the menu(items), background, windowmanager, etcetera.

I basically expected the remote gnome to appear as a window that I could
throw fullscreen or have minimized.
Is that possible in any way?

Hi list,

I noticed that only these output lines are related to connecting from my
ubuntu machine;
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost: 10.0" already has
a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current
window manager.
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has
a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current
window manager.

I just used a windows machine with Xming and that worked fine, except for
the GDM message about not being authenticated.

So, does this give anybody a clue as to what is malconfigured?

Cheers, Warren



2 points:

1)
Mmm, on Windows it all works very very slow, although both 'top' on FreeBSD
(as the ssh server and X client) and processexplorer on windows (ssh client
and X server) do not report a lot of processor activity. Then why is it all
sooo slow? Does anybody have any performance experience with Xming?

2)
It seems xdm is still working from time to time. It shows up in top whenever
I move the mouse around or click something in Gnome. I guess I found a good
clue as to why GDM can not authenticate me as a user. XDM seems to have
taken that liberty.
I don't know how to tell it to stop doing that, besides what I already did
with this line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0

I guess there is more to it?

Re: X/gnome through ssh, clashes with local gnome?

2007-04-30 Thread Warren Head

2007/4/30, WarrenHead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi list,

I want to connect X from my Ubuntu machine to my local FreeBSD machine,
through ssh.
Sofar ssh and X are working, but Gnome/GDM/Metacity seem to have issues.
I really wonder whether this has something to do with the fact that on
Ubuntu I also have Gnome running.

Anyway, when I log into FreeBSD and start gnome-session, this is what I
get on the console:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/celeron2.lan:/tmp/.ICE-unix/34272
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has
a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current
window manager.
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has
a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current
window manager.

** (gnome-panel:34290): WARNING **: Failed to authenticate with GDM
^C

What I see happening is an error window coming up on screen, saying that
the Gnome-Settings daemon failed.

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work
correctly.

The last error message was:

Process /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon exited with status 1

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

After that the standard gnome loading panel comes up in front of
me(sometimes), loading 'The Panel' and such, after which I see my top
Ubuntu gnome menubar change into the FreeBSD gnome menubar.
When I click on items in the top menubar I do see the FreeBSD
menuoptions and I can start programs, but I still see my Ubuntu
background, bottom menubar and Ubuntu programs running.

In other words, both gnome's seem to be working at the same time, but
not very well together.

It's the first time I am working with remote X through SSH. RDP and VNC
are the things I am more used to. So I am sorry if I am making stupid
n00b mistakes, but yes, I am sure I am missing something totally obvious.
I do read (with Google) that there is confusion about XDMCP versus X
through SSH. I definitely want only the latter and have not enabled
XDMCP. (consciously)

So, what strikes me as very odd:
GDM is allowing tcp connections and I get gnome on screen, but the error
message says that I could not be authenticated. UID problem? Username
and password are the same.

Did the (verbose) output from those commands mention X11?

My guess would be server, although Ubuntu could always be doing
something weird.



Hi list, I managed to get a few different machines under my hands and it
seems it is my Ubuntu machine which refuses to 'find' the $DISPLAY variable.

Of course I don't have a clue as to why, but I'm going to take that to the
ubuntu lists

Thanks for your time!

autostart apache

2007-01-24 Thread Warren Head

Hi,

I would like Apache2 to start automatically when FreeBSD is done booting.
I thought that would happen because I placed this inside /etc/rc.conf

apache_enable="YES"

But that doesn't seem to be the case. It doesn't start automatically, I have

to start it manually with:
apachectl start

Is this behaviour correct or not?

Thanks, Warren

compiling postgresql with tsearch2

2007-01-24 Thread Warren Head

Hi,

I am looking for a postgresql installation with the tsearch2 module.
I require the tsearch2 module for mediawiki. When I install the mediawiki,
it tells me my postgresql server does not have the tsearch2 module loaded.

I installed postgresql 8.1-server from the ports. The tsearch2 code is
available in one of its subdirectories, but I don't know how I can get that
compiled as a module.

I am new to FreeBSD, and thus new to the ports, so not having to ./configure
--myoptions is new to me.
Sofar I like it though.
So, should I compile it afterwards or should I change something in some
configure file?

What I could find on the net is that I should compile tsearch2 from its own
directory afterwards, but that is on linux.

Thanks,

Warren

nfs mount rw

2007-01-24 Thread Warren Head

Hi,

I am trying to get write access on a nfs share.
As far as I can tell by reading around, this should be the syntax in the
exports file:

/maptosharemachinetoshareto(rw)

When I -HUP mountd though, it tells me that the line in the exports file is
wrong.
So I change it into this:
/maptosharemachinetoshareto

and then all is fine. I can mount it as well, but I don't have writing
access, only reading.

How should I specify the (rw) part?

Thanks,

Warren
