Re: pkgng and the old pkg_* programs
I have tried it. There's my report ;) Without pkg_*, pkg2ng doesn't work. pkg info shows only himself (pkg-1.0.1). And I have no idea how to register all this stuff which I have already into pkgng database. New [re]installations from ports and directly from pkg work fine. So for new installation it seems to be fine, for old you have to run pkg2ng before you will remove pkg_* binaries.

I doubt whether there's any harm either, it's just the principle of not having useless binaries lying around.

older version of programs in freebsd
Hello: I am a freebsd beginner. As I understood correctly there is only one ports tree which contains the most up to date (and stable) versions of programs. And there are compiled packages for the different releases, which reflect the version at the time of the release. For example the ports tree currently has libreoffice 3.5.6 version. I guess when FreeBSD RELEASE-9.1 will be final it will also have libreoffice 3.5.x (or 3.6). But I would like to use/keep with libreoffice 3.4 (since I don't like the interface changes they made in version 3.5 and 3.6). How can I do it in FreeBSD? Do I have to build it independently from the ports tree? Or is there an older package that can be installed on newer system?

X broken - top quarter of the screen not updated by *some* programs - EXA/XAA issue?
Hi This is on HP Compaq 6715s laptop, amd64, r236740M. At some point (prior to the recent png- triggered update) I started seeing this strainge behaviour: The top part of the screen, about 1/4, is not updated by some windows, and the exact behaviour is affected by Option AccelMethod. For example if I have Option AccelMethod EXA Then xterm and xpdf don't update the top part of their windows, which happens to be in top 1/4 of the screen. If I resize the windows such that the top 1/4 of screen is not used, then the whole window is updated. However other programs, e.g. firefox, are not affected. If I switch to XAA: Option AccelMethod XAA then the situation is partly reversed. Now xterm is not affected, but firefox can't update the top part of it's window, if it happens to occupy the top 1/4 of the screen. xpdf behaviour is unaffected - whether I use XAA or EXA, xpdf can't update the top part of its window if it lies in the top 1/4 of the screen. I'm not sure what to make of it. Below are my xorg.conf, xdm.log and Xorg.0.log when I use EXA option. Finally, not sure if it's related, but I have to disable DRI for X to work at all.

Override overrides of X resources by various programs
Dear list, more and more annoying things are happening. Programs modify X defaults in an unacceptable manner. For example, the Acrobat Reader (e. g. acroread8 port) displays an ugly white mouse pointer where the normal black pointer should be. The same does Opera (e. g. opera-9.63 port) when doing some work; the mouse pointer gets a white shape again and is accompanied by an old fashioned hourglass. And Gimp is an example, too, allthough I can understand this behaviour when the mouse pointer should get the shape of a certain tool (e. g. fill tool), but it shouldn't change the setting just for simple things like the rectangular selection tool - white mouse cursor with a symbolized selection rectangle (which could be an addition to the standard cursor). My question: Is there any way to prohibit such modifications of resources, or do I have to live with this inconsistency? It worked in the past, why can't it work today? :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

root user, graphical programs
FreeBSD 7, KDE 3.5 To install Matlab (in linux compat mode), one must execute the matlab install program as root. The installer is graphical. When from a KDE terminal window, I switch to root (# su -) and try a graphical program, e.g. # xpdf, I get Can't open display. The FreeBSD handbook (10.5.1) says in that case type setenv HOME ~USER (USER the username where the su command was given). This doesn't help I still get Can't open display.

That's the standard X Windows security stopping other users opening windows
on your screen. In this case, something like:
% xhost +LOCAL:
% su
# {...whatever you need to do to install your app...}
# exit
% xhost -LOCAL:
However be aware of the risks: xhost +LOCAL: means that any other user
of the same machine can access your display and potentially capture any
input including (for instance) the root password.
Hmmm... Actually, a more secure means of doing the same thing, that only
grants access to your display by the local root user would be:
% xauth extract - $DISPLAY ~/authtoken
% su -
# echo $HOME
(This should return /root -- this is important so that the correct .Xauthority
file gets updated.)
# xauth merge /home/your-uid/authtoken
# rm /home/your-uid/authtoken
# setenv DISPLAY :0.0
# {...whatever you need to do to install your app...}
Now any X programs run by root will open on your display. To revoke this
permission you can simply remove /root/.Xauthority or for finer grained
control you can use
# xauth remove $DISPLAY

Matthew

Re: root user, graphical programs
No luck (yet)
I tried both methods, (with xpdf as a graphical program)
The first still gives
# xpdf
Can't open display
The second method
# xpdf
No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: :0.0
(after su -, $HOME was indeed /root)
(in /root .Xauthority was changed/created, $DISPLAY is :0.0)

This is the canonical method of starting graphical programs under KDE as root. It is the same mechanism as setting the property Start as other user to root when editing an icon's settings. The former is best suited for ad hoc impromptu one off situations, while the latter would be for making permanent changes to how clicking an icon behaves. -Mike ___ 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

What does TM mean? :-(
Yes. I didn't make /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf but just modified
the file that had already existed. I also configured
/compat/linux/etc/yp.conf and /compat/linux/etc/sysconfig/network to
use NIS.
I examined the linux emulator takes /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf.
/etc/nsswitch.conf:
$ grep -v -e ^$ -e ^# /etc/nsswitch.conf
group: compat
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nis
shells: files
services: compat
services_compat: nis
protocols: files
rpc: files
/compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf:
$ grep -v -e ^$ -e ^# /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
hosts: files dns
bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc:files
services: files
netgroup: nisplus
publickey: nisplus
automount: files nisplus
aliases:files nisplus
And the sample program sample.c:
#includesys/types.h
#includestdio.h
#includepwd.h
int main(){
struct passwd *pw;
pw = getpwuid(getuid());
if(pw){
printf(success\n);
} else {
printf(error\n);
}
}
I compiled the sample for both freebsd and linux binaries.
With the setting above I ran each binary, both binaries resulted success.
But when nis is not written in linux emulation environment's nsswitch.conf,
the linux binary results error.

Hi,
I have been using rtorrent and screen for a while now, it is a great
setup. Anyway, I found an rc.d file for debian that I have changed to
make work for me on freebsd 7. I doubt it is as good as it could be,
but hey, it works fine for me :)
You will have to change some of the variables at the top of the file.
It opens screen on boot, names it rtorrent and starts rtorrent, does
its thing in the background. To connect to it type screen -r rtorrent
I placed it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d since it isn't part of the base
distribution. I also named it with a .sh suffix, I forget why but it
is something to do with a controlling terminal, I think. I also have a
nice .screenrc file if you would like since I know how much of a pain
it is to figure out!
$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: rtorrent
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
#
###Notes###
#
# This script depends on screen.
# For the stop function to work, you must set an
# explicit session directory using ABSOLUTE paths (no, ~ is not
absolute) in your rtorrent.rc.
# If you typically just start rtorrent with just rtorrent on the
# command line, all you need to change is the user option.
# Attach to the screen session as your user with
# screen -dr rtorrent. Change rtorrent with srnname option.

Minda sharing your .screenrc?
Sure, here it is. I have set the escape character to [ because it is
easier on my little finger than the default ctrl-a. It is easily
changed by changing escape to 'escape ^pP'. If you leave it as [ it
will play havok when trying to paste text into a terminal since
everytime it reads [ it reads the char after and does what ever that
binding does.
I haven't really changed much, but the important thing for me was the
hard status line. I found the default difficult to remember what was
open, I have set it up so that it shows all windows open with the
current highlighted in red with the host and time and date on the
right. There are probably other smart things that can be done, but
this suits me for now :)

Is it possible to start this procedure automatically and of course as certain user and not as root? I was thinking about .startup file or something in users home directory.

No need to reinvent the wheel. :-) The solution is quite simple, allthough it is to be considered a security risk, and maybe it's a bit ugly. Here's what I would suggest you to do: 1. Modify /etc/gettytab as follows: default:\ ... autologin:\ :al=USERNAME:tc=Pc: a|std.110|110-baud:\ ... where USERNAME is the name of the user who wants the screen and rtorrent running. 2. After that, go to this user's home directory and create or modify his ~/.login file to contain the proper commands to start the screen sessions and rtorrent. Please note that it might be possible to have another file changed if the C Shell is not this user's shell. BASH has another file for startup, I think. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,
I have been using rtorrent and screen for a while now, it is a great
setup. Anyway, I found an rc.d file for debian that I have changed to
make work for me on freebsd 7. I doubt it is as good as it could be,
but hey, it works fine for me :)
You will have to change some of the variables at the top of the file.
It opens screen on boot, names it rtorrent and starts rtorrent, does
its thing in the background. To connect to it type screen -r rtorrent
I placed it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d since it isn't part of the base
distribution. I also named it with a .sh suffix, I forget why but it
is something to do with a controlling terminal, I think. I also have a
nice .screenrc file if you would like since I know how much of a pain
it is to figure out!
$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: rtorrent
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
#
###Notes###
#
# This script depends on screen.
# For the stop function to work, you must set an
# explicit session directory using ABSOLUTE paths (no, ~ is not
absolute) in your rtorrent.rc.
# If you typically just start rtorrent with just rtorrent on the
# command line, all you need to change is the user option.
# Attach to the screen session as your user with
# screen -dr rtorrent. Change rtorrent with srnname option.

That way, we keep the whole list informed, which is a good thing :) I browsed the ftp site and found a firefox2. The default is firefox which is the 1.5 version. I ran the following: sudo pkg_add -r firefox2 Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/Latest/firefox2.tbz... Done. pkg_info -Ix firefox reports this: firefox-2.0.r2,1Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla When I go into the KDE GUI to kmenu _ internet _ and click on the newly created fierefox icon, nothing happens. Firefox does not start. Have you restarted your X session? The shortcuts sometimes need to be told what's going on, that things are updated. You can either reboot your computer, or use ctrl-alt-backspace to restart your x session. Or you can use your command line! Start a terminal, type which firefox and you should get the path to firefox, probably: /usr/local/bin/firefox Now type firefox And leave the terminal open. Firefox should start. If it doesn't, follow the old phrase When in doubt, reboot. I know it's not nice to be told to treat a FreeBSD box like a windows box that way, but until you get some more experience fooling around with the system and restarting things properly, it's the simplest way to make sure things get started fine. I do not know what shell I am using. I ssh into the box with Putty. I installed FreeBSD from the 6.2-RELEASE-i386 iso. echo $SHELL will tell you what shell you're using. Just to make sure I've got the right picture in my head: you've got a FreeBSD box that you're sitting at, which you've managed to install FreeBSD, gnome||kde, all that stuff correctly, but something's missing when it comes to starting firefox, right? You're not sshing into the box and using x-forwarding, you're physically sitting there, yeah? One last tip: this list has a pretty strong Don't top post mob in it. If you bottom post only, then when someone else wants to help you, it's easier for them to get up to speed.

You're right that 2.0.0.9 is the latest version of firefox; I'm using 2.0.0.7 right now. My advice is that if you want newer packages, learn how to use ports. It's generally newer than the packages built remotely. If you're using FreeBSD -release branch, I think ports is the only way to get new new software. -release has a snapshot of packages for pkg_add and they're known to be stable and not updated much at all, if ever. -stable has newer packages for pkg_add, and -current breaks sometimes.

doubts regarding the kernel programs

Re: Problem of segmentation fault with a lot of KDE programs
Hi again ! Replying to myself, as I made some progress, and would like to share them. I put the line : libpthread.so.2 libpthread.so.1 (which are /lib/libpthread.so.2 and /usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.1) in /etc/libmap.conf and now, kdevelop, kdvi and amarok work... but with this tuning, Terminal and Mozilla are not working, and I suspect that it's the case for lot of other programs. Error is : /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.1: Undefined symbol __malloc_lock So how could I make it work ? How could I help the system to choose between both ? I tried to put things like : [/usr/local/bin/kdevelop-bin] libpthread.so.2 libpthread.so.1 in libmap.conf, but it does not work for all the programs, and that force me to add a lot of things manually to the libmap.conf file, which is not that good...

A little trouble starting (X-) Programs over ssh...
Good evening peeps! This probably isn't a real FreeBSD-issue itself, but it doesn't really fit any other topic that has a newsgroup out there, so please bear with me here! What I have done: I've installed an X-server (XMing) on a Windows-XP box and connect via PuTTY to a FreeBSD box (Sun U60). I have configured the X-server to allow clients to connect from the IP of the FreeBSD-box. One of the commands I want to use (for example) is 'konqueror -display winbox:0 '. Now that works fine, so it seems I got it right up to here. In case that wasn't clear so far: I am not using X-forwarding over ssh. So I don't need the ssh session to run the X-application. Since I don't always want to habe terminal windows hanging around and typing in the commands like that is a little boring, I wanted to automate that a little. I could do that by adding a command to run directly in PuTTY or by using plink. I tried both and neither got the desired results. If I use PuTTY the terminal window opens for a few seconds and then closes again. I get to see a few messages from the konqueror but the browser's window never appears on my desktop. If I use the exact command line in an open ssh session, konqueror starts and I can do what I like with it. If I close the ssh session I started the browser from nothing happens, meaning, it doesn't close. I can just go on surfing. Quite the reverse happens if I user plink to start konqueror. I get a command line window and see the messages of konqueror starting up. Unlike when using PuTTY I get a browser window and it stays too. The command line window which was the result of plink starting doesn't disappear though. It stays right where it is, maybe displaying the odd message or another from konqueror. Pressing ctrl-c closes the window (obviously there is now a clean exit somewhere) while leaving konqueror running. I have tried using the -batch and -s options and others to try to get the window to close *after* the application was actually started. With no success (so far). And this is just the part I don't get. When using PuTTY there seems to be some sort of clean exit, because otherwise the window wouldn't close. Why doesn't plink get the same clean exit? If there is a clean exit, why does it come too soon - if that is the case here? Why does the application break off its launch? What I basicly want is to start an application with a shortcut without making every one of them have two windows (one for the app itself and one for the terminal session). Is there any way of doing this?

Best way to upgrade base programs
Can someone offer some guidance as to the best way to upgrade packages that were not installed via the ports system? For instance, openssh.

Thanks, Robert If you use the base package version, I believe that the best way to go about installing the latest and greatest version would be to go... cd /usr/src; make clean cleandir; cd crypto/openssh; make depend; make; make install If you're using the ports version, portupgrade openssh would do the trick, but you are probably not using that particular version.. If you are trying to upgrade SSL related ports that were affected by a vulnerability, you may just want to run buildworld and installworld on it (see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
linux programs accessing non-linux programs
Hi all, I have been having trouble figuring out how to make linux programs (installed and running under /compat/linux) access other FreeBSD binaries that are *not* located under /compat/linux. For instance, I am running linux-thunderbird and when I want to open a *.doc file attachment, thunderbird asks me which application I would like to use: I would like to point it to /usr/X11R6/bin/abiword , but unfortunately when I chdir to /usr/X11R6/bin in the dialog box, it goes actually to /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/bin (and abiword is *not* there). Is there a way to make linux programs be able to jump out of /compat/linux/ when looking for helper applications? thanks in advance for any advice best giuseppe -- - Giuseppe Pagnoni Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Emory University School of Medicine 1639 Pierce Drive, Suite 4000 Atlanta, GA, 30322 tel: 404.712.8431 fax: 404.727.3233 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there a way to make linux programs be able to jump out of /compat/linux/ when looking for helper applications? If you specify the full path instead of browsing to the directory, it should work. When linux programs ask for files, the kernel first looks in /compat/linux/, then /. If you need to be able to browse to files, you can try null mounting / and /usr into /compat/linux/realroot, then browse through that. Or, if you have amd enabled, browse through /net/localhost/... -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have fdescfs mounted, ksh can do something like what you're after using the syntax: diff (cat foo) (cat bar) zsh supports something similar and can work around the lack of fdescfs. -- jan grant, ISYS, University of Bristol. http://www.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44 (0)117 3317661 http://ioctl.org/jan/ ( echo ouroboros; cat ) /dev/fd/0 # it's like talking to yourself sometimes ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How do I give 2 parameters to programs in an unix enviroment?
If I have two files foo and bar and try to run diff on them I write: $diff foo bar I can also write $cat foo | diff - bar But how do I give a program two (2) commands? not only to diff but to any program that wants double input... I wanna do $cat foo | cat bar | diff - - especially with echo commands that would be handy so I dont have to create files! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wanna do $cat foo | cat bar | diff - - especially with echo commands that would be handy so I dont have to create files! You don't. Recall that | is the pipe operator, and like in real life, there's one input and one output. Pipes used on the command line are for all intents and purposes unnamed, and you can only build up one pipeline. That's why named pipes were invented, so that you could have multiple pipes and refer to them by name (instead of implicitly). But in your case, using named pipes is really no different than using files. -- Matt Emmerton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(echo random junkola foo) (cat foo bar) or (echo random junkola foo) (cp foo bar) would be just as good. would echo the same thing to two files. I think what you want might be diff `cat foo` `cat bar` which is the the quote on the tilde key. check man eval if I'm using the right quote this will evaluate the command in the ` ` and pass its STDOUT as a parameter. For large files this might fail because of the limitation to the command line length, I'm not certain. the best thing might be look in /etc/rc for the last line which will be something like: echo `date` those are the quotes you want and this is the only way to do what I think you're asking. -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How do I give 2 parameters to programs in an unix enviroment?
Here's an example using zsh (I assume it's the same using bash, but different using tcsh or sh): diff (find /usr/local -type f | sort) (for each in /var/db/pkg/*/ +CONTENTS; do grep -v '^@' $each; done | sort) This does a diff(1) of what /var/db/pkg says that /usr/local should look like, and what it *really* looks like (note that it would need some tuning in order to actually be useful, but you get the idea) This uses the () operator. What the () operator does is create a named pipe in /tmp, execute the commands contained in the parenthesis in a subshell, and connect the stdout of the subshell into that named pipe. So it's sort of like using temp files, but you don't have to clean up after yourself. There's another, similar operator that does force it to use temp files, but I can never remember what it is :) Check the manpages for your shell Note that not all programs support using named pipes instead of files, since they expect to be able to do things like rewind the current position in the file descriptor. diff(1) looks to support it okay, though. A simplified version of your example would look like this: diff (cat foo) (cat bar) On 08 Sep 2006, at 06:10, Lasse Edlund wrote: If I have two files foo and bar and try to run diff on them I write: $diff foo bar I can also write $cat foo | diff - bar But how do I give a program two (2) commands? not only to diff but to any program that wants double input...

In the last episode (Sep 08), David King said: Here's an example using zsh (I assume it's the same using bash, but different using tcsh or sh): diff (find /usr/local -type f | sort) (for each in /var/db/pkg/*/ +CONTENTS; do grep -v '^@' $each; done | sort) This does a diff(1) of what /var/db/pkg says that /usr/local should look like, and what it *really* looks like (note that it would need some tuning in order to actually be useful, but you get the idea) This uses the () operator.

Ah, thanks, I'll try to remember that this time :) Note that the =() operator, because it uses regular files, doesn't have the issue that some programs won't know how to deal with it (that is, because they are regular files, they support things like fseek() etc). The downside, as Dan said, is that the entire command line isn't executed until all of the subshells within =() operators complete (so the example I gave could take a long time to have any output). Also note that the =() operator will put its temp files in / tmp by default (unless you set your shell to put them elsewhere), so if you have a command with a lot of output, make sure that your /tmp can take all of it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
