Midori > Preferences > Segmentation fault
Does anyone use the midori browser in 9.1 ? Since I switched from 8.3 to 9.1-RELEASE I've got the following problem. Midori > Edit > Preferences results, nearly every time, in: *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: rpc_end_sync called when not in sync! Segmentation fault (core dumped) Apart from this everything seems okay, for example flash videos work fine. Compiling without any option (there are only four) does not help. Does somebody know whether x...@freebsd.org is aware of this bug ?

Thank you for replying. Chrome, Firefox and Opera work fine, but every now and then they become vulnerable. The annoying thing is that their compile time is taking hours.

Audio CD problem on laptop VGN-SZ61MN
Is there anyone out there who has installed FreeBSD on the above Sony laptop ? Both ''cat filename > /dev/dsp0.0'' or ''vlc cdda:///dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED] are OK. If I run ''cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play'', there is no sound. But the output of ''cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 status audio'' is alright. (same behaviour for cd0 instead of acd0) And the output of ''mplayer cdda://1//dev/acd0'' is: Playing cdda://1//dev/acd0. ++ WARN: open: Inappropriate ioctl for device **ERROR: fread (): Invalid argument On the other hand, DVD's play fine, for example with either ''vlc dvd:///dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'' or ''mplayer dvd://2'' I wonder whether the problem is related to the FAILURE line in dmesg: acd0: DVDR at ata0-master UDMA33 acd0: FAILURE - INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 acd0: FAILURE - INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 cd0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd0: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd0: 33.000MB/s transfers cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Adding ''device atapicam'' in the kernel doesn't make a difference. I found some messages concerning the FAILURE line in the mailing list archives, but no solution. Thank you in advance for any help.

Yes, that explains what happens on my notebook and corresponds to what the Handbook says: If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive's audio-out pins are properly connected to your sound card, you can put a CD in the drive and play it with cdcontrol(1): % cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 Indeed, both the 'mixer' command and the (much more comfortable) 'rexima' port show only 5 mixer devices: Mixer vol is currently set to 12:12 Mixer pcm is currently set to 30:30 Mixer speaker is currently set to 8:8 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 There is no 'cd' mixer device, and the only mixer device file on this notebook is '/dev/mixer0'. But this does not explain why mplayer, in contrast with vlc, refuses to play the CD, does it ? What is the meaning and reason of the above FAILURE lines ? 2 identical lines with the GENERIC kernel, 1 single line, if I add 'device atapicam'. That is apparently the only difference between the two cases. Thank you again and in advance for any further help.

Xine: ``xine cdda://dev/acd0/n'' works fine despite of six lines ``Cannot find address for OpenGl extension function ... which should be available according to extension specs.''. But the GUI does not work properly. For example, the CD button generates ``CDIOCREADAUDIO: Invalid argument'' messages. No wonder that gxine and kaffeine which use the xine engine don't work either. Finally, the only (audioCD) command which does work on this laptop is ``vlc cdda:///dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]''. Disappointing, but better than nothing. Thank you again for your comments.

Samsung SCX-4200 printer

Briefly for your information: The printer was bought by a person who was a Linux user from the very beginning. He had no time to install it though. In the mean time he has become a FreeBSD user and is working all-day on a FreeBSD laptop (as a general practitioner, perhaps the only one on earth). He's still short of time. A year ago or so I tried to install the printer on his desktop machine. But I could not find any SCX-4200 reference on openprinting.org. This time I reinstalled all CUPS components on a 7.0-RELEASE, and finally looked for your help. Well, I've started with the first advice, found UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz, installed manually scx4200.ppd and rastertosamsungspl. I tried all possible file locations for rastertosamsungspl. But CUPS keeps saying that it cannot find rastertosamsungspl. It seems to me that CUPS would be happy with these two files. 'spl' seems to stand for Samsung Printer Language.

Change subreader.c as said. # vi work/dvdauthor-0.6.14/src/subreader.c # make install It works for me. Don't know what is missing now.

VirtualBox OpenSolaris guest
Does anybody know how to correct the audio driver problem of the opensolaris guest? The internet advice to run pfexec update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,2415"' audio810 is better than nothing, but the audio quality is absolutely miserable. It is clearly not the required audio driver. Therefore the flashplayer, i.e. the ***only reason*** why I've installed the opensolaris guest (following the advice of C. P. Ghost on the questions list), is useless:-( The other point is that the installation of additional repositories (needed for mplayer for example, I dislike totem) does not work either. My hope to find an interim solution for the flashplayer nightmare (while waiting for gnash) can be measured by the amount of hours I've spent to get flash - easily and long-term-wise - playing on FreeBSD, Ubuntu, PCBSD... I guess that FreeBSD will never be supported by Adobe. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, I know that very well and used it with success many times. There is a message exchange on the questions mailing list - "concerning flash under freebsd" starting on last June 15 - which confirms my own experience of ugly things like npviewer.bin coredumps and browser freezing. I found the suggestion interesting to install VirtualBox and OpenSolaris which is an operating system supported by Adobe. That's the reason why I gave it a try. > Is your problem "flash" or "audio" (i.e. can you play an mp3 file with > mpg123, for example)? "flash" installs like a charm. It's audio. There is no audio whatsoever after a perfectly clean OpenSolaris guest installation. The guest cannot determine the correct audio driver for the underlying audio card. Needless to say that the audio card works for the FreeBSD host (still on 8.0 for the moment). -- Harald ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The Handbook procedure for Firefox and Flash Plugin worked always fine if I've installed it at the same time as all the rest (500+ ports). Please note that I never forget to read /usr/ports/UPDATING. I hope this time everything else will continue to work. Normally, the error messages did not help me to repair the disaster in the case of, for example, suddenly missing shared libraries here and there. This is the reason why the idea to install VirtualBox seemed very attractive to me. The FreeBSD system is kept "clean" of that large emulators/linux_base-f10 port. The next step is VirtualBox Debian guest. Okay, these are both large pieces of software.

Obviously it went always wrong with portmaster emulators/linux_base-f10. This command should have populated the linuxbase, i.e. /compat/linux, directory if I understand correctly. The script (I kept it) shows no problem whatsoever. The Makefile says clearly to use the linuxbase as prefix for installation. Portmaster seems to be responsible here. Please note that portmaster is my friend since July 2008. Without any problem! In my humble opinion portmaster is quite an extraordinary tool. By far I prefer it to portupgrade. Presently, there seems to be a problem just with the linux stuff. Doug, may I ask you for help please ? Now I will go and reinstall for the third time all ports with portmaster `cat ~/installed-port-list` which did work like a charm last time and then install the linux ports with make.

I've done it and there is absolutely no change. In fact, I am not surprised. It was unreasonable to accuse portmaster which works fine for all ports. Why should it fail only for the linux ports? I cannot find out why the linux_base-f10 files are not installed in the linuxbase (/compat/linux).

NOTHING has been installed in /compat/linux in spite of the USE_LINUX_PREFIX=yes line in Makefile. No wonder that the system gets broken.

Okay, that's easy to test. I just did it. The AutoSense failure occurs on two desktop computers, whether motherboard or not, and on three laptops. As I said, all PC's run 8.1-RELEASE. What I do not know is whether the Sony DSC (Digital Still Camera) has worked on 8.0-RELEASE. I didn't use it for some time, so I'm afraid I never tried it on 8.x. But I am sure it worked on all earlier releases. In my original post I have forgotten to mention that I never had any problems with all sorts of thumbdrives and USB disks. Fortunately, I can read the 256MB CF memory of the DSC on an Ubuntu laptop. Could it possibly be a DSC hardware problem which is ignored by Ubuntu, but not by FreeBSD? Anyway, I should now follow Jeremy's proposal and check with a livefs CD, but this will take a bit more time... But before, I'll plug the DSC into a MacPro which I can access over the weekend and report the result here. Thanks to all of you.

X.org: Fatal server error
Hello All, *** Fatal server error: *** could not open default font 'fixed' This is the message (without the stars) I get on a laptop after a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE i386 (previously 6.0). Searching the archives, I found two reasons which do not apply for me: 1. xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-7.2 is properly installed 2. the same is true for font-alias-1.0.1 A good reason in my case seems to be: all fonts.dir files are empty. Running ``mkfontdir [-e encodings/] misc/'' creates always an empty fonts.dir file, but with the '-e' option a correct encodings.dir file. Conclusion: mkfontdir appears to be broken, or rather mkfontscale as the former is just a single-line shell script. xorg-7.2, xorg-fonts-7.2 and all the rest are properly installed. The instructions of the 20070519-section in UPDATING have successfully been executed. Fortunately, lynx and elinks work alright. Needless to say that I've portupgrade'd both mkfontdir and mkfontscale with the '-f' option, and that my ports tree is portsnap'ed up-to-date. What else could I do to find the bug ?

I've done all these checks at the very beginning. The only remaining problem was the empty fonts.dir file which fully explains to my mind the fatal server error. I then ran mkfontdir and saw that this command does indeed generate an empty fonts.dir file on the bad machine where everything else seems so utterly correct. What I haven't done yet on the bad box (because it's not on my desk and its external, stupid, ISP router does not let me in via SSH) is to copy my fonts.dir file to it. Just for fun to see what happens. I'll do that tomorrow... In the last resort, I shall portupgrade -fP -o x11/xorg xorg But I hate the idea, it's so Unix-unlike, isn't it ?

All lines of all other files don't have such a prefix. I cannot check for the time being whether this corresponds to a pid. The bad box is at the other end of the town. Second, is there nobody (more competent than me) out there who would accept receiving and looking into e.g. truss-fae.bad.bz2 (12kB) and truss-fae.good.bz2 (18kB) ? You know I'm just asking for the very very obvious thing which should take not more than 5 minutes for an experienced person. Thank you in advance.

Finally, I've found the real reason for the empty fonts.dir file in misc/ (and 100dpi/, 75dpi, cyrillic): a lot of .pcf.gz files were indeed present, but I've not spotted that they were empty ! Shame on me. They must have been created (time stamp: Feb 3) during the xorg-upgrade procedure (described in the /usr/ports/UPDATING), but all empty, God knows why. misc/ is now populated with all the fonts created by the following packages: font-arabic-misc-1.0.0 font-cursor-misc-1.0.0 font-daewoo-misc-1.0.0 font-dec-misc-1.0.0 font-isas-misc-1.0.0 font-jis-misc-1.0.0 font-micro-misc-1.0.0 font-misc-cyrillic-1.0.0 font-misc-ethiopic-1.0.0 font-misc-meltho-1.0.0_1 font-misc-misc-1.0.0 font-mutt-misc-1.0.0 font-schumacher-misc-1.0.0 font-sony-misc-1.0.0 font-sun-misc-1.0.0 xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-7.3 (meta package: no output from `pkg_info -L') The fonts.dir file contains now exactly 340 `fixed' fonts. There is no owner or permission problem whatsoever. And still, whether I follow strictly the method described in the Handbook or whether I use my own method with xinit and $HOME/.xinitrc the X server makes always the same complaint: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' The output of 'truss -fae startx' does not show why on earth the server cannot open the default font. It seems hopeless. I've never encountered such a bug. Is there really no other solution than the Windows-approach: Reinstall xorg from scratch ? Thanks in advance for every other idea.

As a constant user of portupgrade since ages, this time, before and after the xorg-upgrade procedure, I have carelessly omitted the `-R' option. No wonder that required packages were missing. 2. The `pkg_info -L' check does not certify that the file is actually in its place: between two checks I have removed all the empty fontfiles in misc/, thereby getting rid again of fonts.alias as well :-( and forgot about it. Now I know that the server is indeed looking first for the `fixed' line in fonts.alias. If he does not find it, he complains no matter how many fixed fonts are stored in misc/. The fact that misc/ and three other directories in that machine were only populated with a large number of empty fontfiles remains weird though. Thanks again for every reply, on-list and off-list.

USB scanner not attached when connected after system startup]

In reply to both Marc and Roland, I confirm and say:
1. usbd is really running all the time (usbd_enable="YES" being in rc.conf)
2. using the default usbd.conf, which I studied only recently to find out what
could be missing.
3. added the following lines to it for testing:
device "Perfection 1650 scanner"
devname "uscanner[0-9]+"
attach "sane-find-scanner -q"
detach "sane-find-scanner -q"
I still haven't got a clue of what other command could be useful here. I think
Ialso understood that the proper attachment/detachment function of usbd has
nothing to do with those commands. Right or wrong?
4. Killing usbd and running ``usbd -dvv'' confirms that usbd does not detect
any event when I connect or disconnect the signal cable of the scanner
(needless to say that the scanner is connected to power). No error message in
the debugging output, just this:
algol{me} ~ # usbd -dvv
usbd: opened /dev/usb0
usbd: reading configuration file /etc/usbd.conf
usbd: action 1: ActiveWire board, firmware download
.
.
.
usbd: action 6: Perfection 1650 scanner
devname: uscanner[0-9]+
attach='sane-find-scanner -q'
detach='sane-find-scanner -q'
usbd: action 7: USB device
usbd: 7 actions
usbd: opened /dev/usb
usbd: doing timeout discovery on /dev/usb0
usbd: processing event queue due to timeout on /dev/usb
etc, etc ad infinitum
No event, no action. Normal.

My point is indeed the following: If my scanner is connected (both power and USB signal cable) _before_ system startup, it does work perfectly alright since many years (by the way in scanimage-command-line-mode and as a gimp plug-in). So all concerned configuration files are perfectly alright and in conformity with the Handbook. It really works beautifully. But as I don't use the scanner every day I normally keep it disconnected. Up to now I am obliged to reboot the system if I want to use the scanner in the middle of the day. This would not be necessary under MacOSX for example or - I hate to make the comparison :-) - under Windows. So I would be happy to find some way to use the scanner _without_ rebooting. It seems that this (USB) issue is not addressed in the Handbook. My ``usbd -dvv'' test was just meant to check whether usbd is able to detect the events or not. I still believe the test is not completely stupid. According to usbd(8) the deamon should handle the attachment/detachment of the USB device, shouldn't it ? Apparently, usbd does not `see' whether my scanner is connected or not. What's wrong there ? Is there a fundamental fact I don't understand ? Can anybody out there use the 1650 under 4.x without the need to connect it _before_ system startup ? Roland,do you need to reboot under 5.3 if you connect it to the running system ?

No. [Very sorry for not having replied to that question before. I have simply repressed it (verdrängt in German) because sane, scanimage and last not least usbd clearly proved - to my troubled mind - that the scanner was not attached and I was subconsciously convinced that dmesg signals only events during system startup.

This would be a bug in 4.x. So I've got a long-standing bug (on two different boxes and several releases starting in 2001) Very strange that I'd be the only case in this world.

No error whatsoever is reported in dmesg. As to sane and scanimage, they just
can't see any scanner.
On the other hand, if the scanner is disconnected from the working environment,
sane-find-scanner continues to `find' the scanner as before (when it was really
connected), scanimage is cleverer and says `there is no scanner', dmesg doesn't
signal anything. Of course, if you want the scanner working again you must
reboot.
I'm afraid it's better to forget the problem again.
Many thanks, Roland, for all your patience and advice.
Next time I'll report 5.3 bugs only :-)

In fact, the installation seemed successful because the test print looked basically alright. It just did not fill the A4 format. There are indeed two problems. First, the conversion from jpeg to ps generates (vertical) rectangles from squares. This looks like a bug in apsfilter. Secondly, the colors, or rather the resolution, and the size are incorrect. The reason for this seems to be the lack of the correct driver in gs. gimp-print WITH_CUPS (which I have used earlier this year on a smaller FreeBSD4.9 machine) gave good results as far as I remember. I did not compare them with the iBook though. Next step after the beach...

Building lxdvdrip stops because linux-pango has known vulnerabilities. Is there a risk if mplayer (which requires linux-pango) is only used locally by lxdvdrip, but never on-line by firefox which would not use any mplayer plugin ?

That's interesting. I will try that soon. I hope the manpage does explain how to burn it then. But what happens if the title is too long for a DVD5 ? lxdvdrip is such a marvellous tool. Too bad, that nobody has found the time yet to debug linux-pango. Now, do I understand correctly, that the risk is there as soon as linux-pango is running for the local lxdvdrip operation ? That means that I must keep off-line during lxdvdrip to be safe ? Is that true ?

Yes, it is the ``real player plugin'' option for mplayer which was responsible for linux-pango (and probably for all other linux stuff) requested during the reinstallation of lxdvdrip a week ago using DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes . I've found this 5 minutes after my reply to Roland yesterday when trying to reinstall first just mplayer alone, and then lxdvdrip. But, I had absolutely no time to signal this to the list before now.

That's not what I meant. Every time I do ``portsnap fetch update'' mplayer's Makefile contains the ``real player plugin'' option set to ``on''. If for some reason I've got to reinstall mplayer with (my preferred) ``portmaster --force-config [-d|-D] multimedia/mplayer'', then I would like to have the realplay option already unchecked. This is the way I interpreted Roland's ``so it doesn't show up in my list''. I thought the WITH_REALPLAYER=no line in make.conf could do this job, couldn't it?

You cannot imagine (nobody can imagine) the number of hours I've spent since ages to get Firefox and Flash9 working on FreeBSD-stable. So, this morning, I've started the n-th trial. Bad luck. It doesn't work anymore for the following two reasons: The first reason is the linux-pango vulnerability encountered with nspluginwrapper. Okey, I knew that already (see http://www.freebsdnews.net/2008/11/04/flash-9-for-freebsd-71-howto/). Overriding the problem (reluctantly) with ``setenv DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES yes'' brought me to the second reason which is even worse. Portmaster is unable to fetch install_flash_player_9.tar.gz and I cannot find the file manually. Seems to have disappeared from earth. I don't know how long I'll be able to resist against buying a MacBook for my wife who does want to see videos ``like anybody else''. Of coarse, this does not mean that everybody has a macintosh:-) By the way, I've tried Ubuntu, I've tried PC_BSD. Not really satisfactory. There is no alternative to FreeBSD. Could anybody out there provide install_flash_player_9.tar.gz for me as a temporary measure ?

Boris, what do you mean exactly? I use portmaster on 6 machines (since I discovered it in July 2008) without any problems whatsoever. Portmaster aborted the linux-flashplugin9 installation because of the size mismatch, not portmaster's fault, is it? > > cannot find the file manually.

Downloaded it while reading your message. Did not realize the size mismatch then, because too busy elsewhere. I've just succeeded to install flash9 on firefox3 according to the Handbook and using the old version. Too unpatient today to install your patch which does certainly work, will try it on the next machine. I've read a long time ago (on this ML I think) that http://miniusa.com/crm/no_flash.jsp is an ideal test site. The install does work like a charm. Magnificent. There is a huge problem though: I've got now two vulnerable ports, firefox3 and linux-pango. The linux-pango case is apparently several months old. Any idea why the linux world doesn't seem to bother? How to persuade my user now not to use firefox, but w3m? Impossible. Anyway, thanks again to everybody, on-list and off-list.
