linuxpluginwrapper problems (again!)
I decided to try mozilla which built with no problems. In the process I upgraded linuxpluginwrapper and now none of the linux plugins work and both mozilla and firefox start with the following errors: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so [/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: Undefined symbol XmQmotif] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so: Undefined symbol ah_arctan] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so: Undefined symbol stderr] I tried uninstalling pluginwrapper and all of the plugins and rebuilding. Same problem. It looks like I may have a library problem, but that is beyond my ability to troubleshoot. I did correct the paths in /etc/libmap.conf and the symlinks are correct. This only seems to affect the plugins handled by linuxpluginwrapper as java and mplayer are recognized and work. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what went wrong?

Also do a pkgdb -F to make sure your dependency database is OK. I didn't have any config problems with fontconfig, and didn't have to tweak anything. Sounds like something else is wrong. Moreover, I have no interest in learning XML, then cutting and pasting various config files together out of what little documentation exists for fontconfig. The documentation is so poor that I have no idea what I am doing anyway. Searches on Google and the mailing lists were no help either. It is very frustrating.

I would like to get a cheap, used, small desktop or laptop to tinker with Unix/Linix and FreeBSD. However, I know little to nothing about system requirements and/or hardware compability. I was thinking of an old 486 or Pentium 1 to get started. Any thoughts on what I could start with? Although you can run FreeBSD on a 486 I wouldn't recommend it. Rebuilding the system from sources took two full days. Also if you plan to run X and something like KDE you will find it painfully slow. One of my boxes is a 500MHz Celeron which is quite usable. If you have a reasonably fast box I concur with just adding a second drive. You can always mount your windows drive and copy files into FreeBSD. Except for some proprietary apps you will find plenty of software in the FreeBSD ports to do just about anything you can do in windows. A way to use your current machine for both operating systems without dual booting is to install a second hard disk, install FreeBSD and select which to boot from in the bios. It's a slight faff changing boot disk but works fine and keeps the OS's completely separate. OT; I still have a PC I made with three HD's plugged in to a home made ide cable with an extra connector and a three position switch on the front which switches power to only one disk. All three disks are effectively primary master so whichever has power when the computer is turned on boots. I never had the courage to switch while the computer was running!

simple shell script

You need to background it so your script keeps running: #! /bin/sh # Launch program lynx # Store its processid for later pid=$! # 60 seconds sleep 60 # Kill backgrounded process kill -9 $pid This is probably not what Beecher wants, he/she probably needs the lynx in the foreground. In a pure shell script that is difficult because you cannot get the pid of a foreground process without reverting to `ps` which is not sportish.

I am logged in to my FreeBSD 6.0 workstation with the user name and password equal to that of a user on the other samba servers and Windows. IIUC and AFAIK, you can't. Unlike windows, Unix does not store your password when you log in (just encrypts and compares to passwd file) so it cannot automatically provide credentials to samba. You can, however, get mount_smbfs to look in a file to find your password, so as long as that file is protected. See man mount_smbfs -N Do not ask for a password. At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a password. If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it. If you're going to do this you might want to use a different password for windows from BSD. And make sure you protect the file, though any super-user will always be able to read it, if that is an issue. Samba can be configured in security=shared mode so users can access with no password. You can also use this mode for a combination of no pass and passwords for different levels of access. You also need to setup the guest account in samba to use this mode.

You have to change all the plugin links so they are in browser_plugins as well as changing the nppdf.so (acroread) link to the right place as above. Another option might be to nuke browser_linux_plugins and make the directory a link to browser_plugins before building pluginwrapper.

Gary, mplayerplug-in does play real video up to version 9 I believe (may have changed recently). It is not very stable and will crash firefox if you try to leave the page the stream is playing in (including closing firefox).

Re: updating in single-user mode
On Monday 24 October 2005 02:24 pm, John DeStefano wrote: When updating world, section 20.4.5 of the handbook calls for dropping to single user mode. The reasons given for this make sense. But this is a problem for me: my BSD server does not have a local K/V/M setup connected directly to it; it sits on my network and I connect to it via PuTTy for administration. Is there a way to achieve single-user mode while still being able to connect remotely (via LAN)? (I know that's something of an oximoron, but I needed to ask) And if not, am I losing any serious features/functionality of the update process by _not_ dropping into single user? Thanks, ~John I don't reccommend doing installworld or kernel in multiuser, but I have never had any problems doing it on a lightly loaded machine. With that said what could bite you is your new kernel not booting or something broken in userland. You will then need console access (serial or local) to fix it. I would set up your machine with serial console access and use a laptop or another machine when you reboot.

Helix plugin with Firefox
I would like to get realplayer working in firefox, but it keeps crashing firefox on load. Launching realplay from the command line works fine. I have the latest firefox and linuxpluginwrapper installed and about:plugins in firefox correctly lists the helix plugin. In addition, /etc/libmap.conf contains the following: # Helix RealPlayer with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so] libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so.5 libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/realplayer.so System uname: FreeBSD stargate 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #17: Tue Oct 18 22:42:58 AKDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/STARGATE i386 Also, flash6 is installed and works. All paths are correct, so I don't quite know what to check next. I did try the same plugin in linux-firefox and it works as expected. However, I would like to stay with the native firefox.

Does anyone have any idea why this is? From atapicam(4): The ATAPI/CAM module allows ATAPI devices (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD drives, floppy drives such as Iomega Zip, tape drives) to be accessed through the SCSI subsystem, cam(4). SCSI CD/DVD devices are labeled as cd, atapi devices are labeled acd.

If you're doing a binary upgrade you need to specify the mount points for your slices. You do this by pressing m and entering the appropriate mount point for each slice in disklabel. That said, you should be aware that binary upgrades can bite you. At the very least you should backup your system before you attempt the upgrade. I would recommend doing an upgrade by building from the sources. Make sure you read /usr/src/UPGRADING before you begin.

Once having run cvsup with the above supfile, do I then have to do something with the cvs command? No, running cvsup with that cvsupfile will update all of your local sources. You might want to delete /home/ncvs as that is taking up a lot of disc space and you don't need it unless you're planning to run your own cvs mirror, or you're planning on tracking multiple branches. Just stick with cvsup, it's much easier to use than CVS. Take a look at the handbook. It has a lot of info pertaining to what your doing. You might want to be tracking RELENG_5 as your default tag. That's the 5-stable branch which will contain bug fixes etc that are not in the release. RELENG_5_4_0 is just a snapshot of that release with only security updates. Always read /usr/src/UPDATING before building / installing it will save you from potential gotyas.

From RFC 2131: If no address is available, the server may choose to report the problem to the system administrator. So, best guess ... when asked, your server replies sorry and the wireless clients go on looking. But I'm not familiar enough with DHCP client behavior to know *for sure*. Seems likely, though, from my experience w/clients. Surely anything else would violate POLA Should be possible to muck around in /etc/syslog.conf and quiet the daemon down, though. Kevin Kinsey Thanks, didn't think so. My experience with wireless is fairly limited, and I've never seen that message before with wired networks. There haven't been any complaints from the access people so I'm just going to ignore it.

Any help would be appreciated. Install the x11/wrapper port if you want to be able to run startx as a mortal user. Cheers, Matthew Thanks for replying.

Thank you again --lantal I would start with Greg's book. I found it invaluable when I was first learning FreeBSD (still use it occasionally). As for buying FreeBSD-5, you can upgrade for free. That's also covered in Greg's book.
