Colleagues,

Please advise if there are any 3D shooters in the ports collection

tried work for a number of irritating reasons, like e.g.

games/uhexen: http://pastebin.com/ZaJ74eaa

games/doom: http://pastebin.com/XdrCwzvn

games/quake2lnx even pretends to do something: it opens a tiny X11
window with some flickering rubbish and plays some farting sounds to
the audio system.

Is there any working 3D shooter in the ports collection my 8 year old
son could enjoy?

Thank you very much in advance.


Try games/deng.

You have 'c' specified once and don't seem to be piping the output to 
another program. Try specifying 'c' twice as the part of the manpage you

Not really answering your question, but.. Take a look at textproc/mdocml
as an alternative to groff (and for converting man/mdoc -> html).

Check "To rebuild everything and install it on the current system." in
/usr/src/UPDATING (you are missing the 'make delete-old' step).

I hope "rc.d" was a typo? :-) If not, you want /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf.

Just use `man /full/path/to/the/manpage`. Also check man(1) and
man.conf(5) on how to specify additional MANPATHs.

It's not uncommon, but such stuff should be fixed when porting something
from "Linux world" and manpages should go to /usr/local/man, as hier(7)
tells.

This works for me:

ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer"

No other IPv6-related settings done anywhere else.

Boot to single user mode (4 in the boot menu), remount / read-write -
mount -u -o rw /, edit /etc/fstab (you'll probably need to mount /usr
manually if what's in /rescue doesn't work for you), reboot.

You can run fsck from single user mode, as well.

I very seriously doubt that this line does what you want...

$ printf "a\na\na\nb\n" > file1; printf "c\nc\nb\n" > file2; sort file1 file2 | 
uniq -d
a
b
c


Try this instead (probably bloated):

sort < file1 | uniq | tr -s '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 -I % grep -Fx % file2 | sort | 
uniq

There is comm(1), of course, but it expects files to be already sorted.

VirtualBox 4 *seems* to support USB (I have the option in the GUI,
haven't tried it though). It's available for testing from
http://svn.bluelife.at/ at the moment.

Quoting rc(8):
Each script should contain rcorder(8) keywords, especially an appropriate
“PROVIDE” entry, and if necessary “REQUIRE” and “BEFORE” keywords.

You shouldn't directly modify rc.conf to enable some service, put
instructions on how to enable it in pkg-message instead.

Having said that, check @unexec command, which is run on package
deinstallation.

Problem here is in multimedia/v4l_compat port, which was recently
updated to install include/linux/videodev2.h. You could try uninstalling

Are you sure that buildworld phase completed successfully? Have you
tried cleaning /usr/obj/ before building world? Have you tried updating
your src tree from different cvsup mirror (cvsup.freebsd.org, just to be
sure)?

Try `kldload ng_ether`? And use your own config file, not GENERIC, if you need

 This directory is the default location for all user‐specific con‐
 figuration and authentication information.  There is no general
 requirement to keep the entire contents of this directory secret,
 but the recommended permissions are read/write/execute for the
 user, and not accessible by others.

So 700 is not only possible, but also recommended. :-)

Apache and Courier IMAP are just not stopped during deinstall stage

regexps in sed are greedy and, sadly, you can't use *? as quantifier.
try the following (adding characters that can be inside your ''

sed 's#[ a-zA-Z0-9]*[ ]*##g'

http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/arm95/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#id2576660
Check interface-interval:

The server will scan the network interface list every
interface-interval minutes. The default is 60 minutes. The maximum value
is 28 days (40320 minutes). If set to 0, interface scanning will only
occur when the configuration file is loaded. After the scan, the server
will begin listening for queries on any newly discovered interfaces
(provided they are allowed by the listen-on configuration), and will
stop listening on interfaces that have gone away. 


If you don't need bind to listen on tun0, just set interface interval to
0.

Really just a guess as you are using LDAP. Try the attached patch and 
rebuild cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd. If it doesn't help, try rebuilding sasl*
and openldap-client using WITH_DEBUG defined and post backtrace.

Try using ifconfig_bge0="up" in /etc/rc.conf instead of assigning bogus 
(probably) address.




I'm not sure what other changes need to be made or where, but when I
assign an IP/netmask to bge0, bring up the interface, and try to ping
the gateway (or anything else), I get 100% packet loss.  I've even
tried to assign a new default route, but I get an error stating
there's already a default route.

I know I'm completely missing something here, but I just can't figure
out *what*.

Any help would be most appreciated.

If you are absolutely sure you want linux-flashplugin7 installed, 
despite security vulnerability, you can disable portaudit check (this 
message comes from portaudit) with -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES (it's 
documented in ports(7) manpage).

I don't see how RESTRICTED prevents you from installing 
linux-flashplugin7. Quoting /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:

# RESTRICTED- Prevent the distribution of distfiles and packages to

I miss the old days with www/linux-flashplugin7 D-:

btw, graphic/gnash seems pretty stable, but the integration with firefox is

Hi

What is /usr/local/bin/gsc ?

I run FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #2 on compaq armada laptop.

When I send a job for printing I see gsc process running:

First, check if there's manpage with description for gsc :-) You can 
also check which package installed that file:

pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/gsc
(and as you mentioned printing, I'd think it was installed by 
ghostscript package) and follow the URL in pkg-descr.



However, I cannot find any info on gsc.
The latest I've found is from 5.2-release,
some gsc(4) -- a device driver for a handy scanner.
I doubt this is it.

Could somebody tell me what gsc is and what it does. 


many thanks

Re: ssh - connect to directory outside of /user/home - permission denied

How do you allow ssh to permit connections to a folder outside of the /home

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] works to get me into the user folder and I can

You are specifying a command to run once ssh connects, not the path to 
chdir to.



I've heard the directory path needs to be relative to the home path but the
following does not work either:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ../../../usr/data/pub/  (where the default
directory for ssh logins is /usr/home/[username]/.)

I've tried formatting variations of the above themes to no avail and suspect

there's a setting somewhere to allow what directories ssh connections can be

made to, or creating a link in [users] home directory to the public
directory.  Your help would be appreciated.



You could use something similar to:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cd /usr/data/pub; unison .'

Don't see it here. If you are sure that mutt uses UTF-8 charset (ie,
forced it with 'set charset="utf-8"'), make sure it's linked against
ncursesw library (and not just ncurses) - need to use WITH_NCURSES_PORT
on 6.2 and earlier or build it using WITH_SLANG.

Unicode isn't supported in syscons at all (AFAIK). Check

This seems to be a rather weird way to build loader with TFTP support.
You could try the following:

cd /sys/boot; make cleandir; make obj; make -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT

(with binaries somewhere in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/).

Hmm,
(==) RADEON(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
was it always 75? (I see a recent update to xf86-video-ati port).
Anyway, try forcing X to use 96, ie, run it as:
X -dpi 96
(it would be ":0 local /usr/local/bin/X -dpi 96 :0" in
/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers for xdm).

Just run `make` in /etc/mail, it will create `hostname`.mc for you, edit
it, and run `make all install restart` (targets are described in
/etc/mail/Makefile).

Only way that I have found - crossinstall system to another HDD, boot
from it and make required changes. Sadly enough, /stand/geom isn't aware
of journal class, returning `Invalid class name'.

Could you be more verbose than `msg saying "ng_prase_int32 type"**'? :-)
It's really hard to guess given so little information. Please paste at least 
full compiler line and exact error messages.

Check also ownership on ~/.mozilla (ie, ls -ld ~/.mozilla).

Hrm, getting the same on 5.5/6.2, though it works on 7.0/-CURRENT. Try
building `device tap' in kernel, and if it fails, I'd ask [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, that's what I'm talking about, you don't have any optimizations 
(-Ox) in flags to cc and that's why it fails. Make sure that you don't 
have CFLAGS set to '' in your environment or elsewhere (cd /usr/src ; 
make -V CFLAGS  will show your current settings).

What about /etc/src.conf and more complete build log (at least whole 
compiler line)?
