Re: Graphics Setup Help!
Hi, can you tell us a little about what doesn't work when you try to use the NVidia card? For starts, there is the "vesa" driver which basically works with every video card out there but severely lacks in features (can't remember exactly, dual-monitor use may among those missing). The Nouveau driver is available in pkgsrc-wip[1][2] although I don't know the state of it, if it is up to date and if it builds on DragonFly. Give it a shot… Best, Matthias [1] http://pkgsrc.se/wip/xf86-video-nouveau [2] http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net/
Re: pkgsrc2012Q1-firefox build fails
Hi, the problem is that some packages try to use the installed versions of their own shared libraries or tools during the build process. In the past I've worked around this by - linking (ln -s) from the old library file to the new one - 'make replace'ing the package in question to be sure: - delete the symlink - 'make replace' again then: - continue with pkg_rolling-replace I think you can, if pressed on time and this happens a lot for a particular .so, just create the symlink, let pkg_rolling-replace run through, then delete it. Not sure if this whole thing is a bug and if so, where. Best, Matthias

Another solution would be to use tmux or screen in the host system to start the vkernels in detached sessions (I've found tmux to be better suited; screen gets confused if started outside an interactive environment, e.g. startup scripts) I use separate tmux sessions to run semi-interactive $stuff automatically; since I want them to be associated with a specific user I have them started from that user's crontab with entries like @reboot tmux -u new-session -d -s name1 "/path/to/command1 arguments1" @reboot sleep 2; tmux -u new-session -d -s name2 "/path/to/command2 arguments2" Note that I found a race-condition in tmux where one of the sessions won't be reachable if they're started to quickly; thus the "sleep 2;". This delay can probably be the same for more subsequent sessions as this only happens on startup of the tmux server, but I haven't tried that in practice. You can then attach to the vserver's console by ssh -t user@server "tmux attach -t name1" etc. This procedure works in general for any program that you want to run unattended but may need to reach interactively.

This case is IMHO the easiest to use and configure and you can reach the VM from any computer on the network. Internet access will work with this just as it works for everything else. Downside is that you have to decide on a host interface to use (e.g. if I use my MacBook's Ethernet it won't work via WiFi and vice versa). - NAT – VBox will create a virtual, internal network and act as a router for it. Gives internet access to the VM, but the VM can't be accessed from outside the host. Also, in usual home network configurations, this ends up in a double-NAT situation (address being translated once on the VBox host and then on the network router) which may or may not sometimes break stuff. - Internal – the same, but without any routing. VM can only be accessed by host and can only access host (unless you do the routing manually). Maybe you chose the Internal option? try switching to NAT and/or Bridging. /matthiasr

I don't think there is a 1:1 correspondence that is stable across reboots (e.g. when I had two external HDs they sometimes switched places between da8 and da9 – which is why you should use sernos as much as possible).

There is supposedly a compatibility library, but I've never gotten it to work and it seems to be unmaintained. The BSD soundsystem is OSS compatible; so you want either something with OSS output or something that uses libao; IIRC you also need to install audio/libao-oss for those.

In this case it definitely will – the repos were created by completely different scripts and ways (they convert CVS -> Fossil -> git AFAIK), so the commit IDs won't match. In general, adding another clone of the *same* repo as a git remote works fine (e.g. you have a clone of dragonfly.git on your home server, clone that on your workstation, then add the git.dragonflybsd.org or leaf repos). But the NetBSD pkgsrc git mirror and the DragonFly git mirror have to be considered completely separate. -m.

Hi,
to switch to the stable branch
cd /usr/src && git checkout DragonFly_RELEASE_2_10
from that point on git pull in /usr/src or make src-update in /usr will keep
you up to date on the stable branch.

On Tue, 3 May 2011, 78dd085bd...@gmail.com wrote: dfly# bmake install tl;dr: It appears you have PostgreSQL 9.0.3 installed. Use "bmake update". The longer explanation: pkgsrc has separate make targets for upgrading an already installed package. "replace" simply replaces the package, not minding the consequences. This will break things if a shared library version changes, because dependent packages won't find their .so's any more. "update" also rebuilds and updates any dependant. For a full update of all outdated packages (e.g. using pkg_chk), using "bmake update" will work, but take longer than necessary because some packages may be rebuilt more than once. pkg_rolling-replace will take the whole dependency tree and sort the list of packages such that they can be "bmake replace"'d one after the other safely. It is a good idea to always use pkg_rolling-replace for updating packages. Regards, matthiasr.

As far as I know, only linux supports journaling (i.e. ext3). The NetBSD ext2fs driver has recently gained support for large inodes, it may be worth backporting that. Last time I tried the ext2 tools (from pkgsrc) did not work on DragonFly because they could not determine the size of the devices. It may be worth porting them too (because without journaling the filesystem won't mount R/W after an unclean shutdown and will need to be fsck'ed). I haven't tried UFS with DFly and Linux yet, it may be worth a shot too. msdosfs works too, of course, but it is very limited. Regards, Matthias

I haven't tried their software on DFly yet, but it's in pkgsrc (net/aiccu) and is generally very portable, so it should work (remember to load tun). After your tunnel is up and stable for a few weeks you can even get a /48 subnet assigned. My home network now has 65535 times the size of all the v4 Internet ;) Have fun :) Matthias
