Re: USB generic driver problems

The ugen driver finds that: (sce-edesc-bmAttributes UE_XFERTYPE) == UE_INTERRUPT but only allows a generic write for devices with XFERTYPE of UE_BULK. So it gives a ENXIO (device not configured) when you call write. Makes since.

I will wait if there is going to be some easy method in the future. Well - if I understand this, you want to use X.org in place of XFree86 - if this is correct, I would assume you install eht X.org meta-port as you mentioned. I don't know if X.org needs anything from XFree, so I can't answer that. The next thing is simply update the ports tree (that inturn updates the X.org meta when needed) then run portupgrade after the ports ttree update. See the man page for portupgrade for the parms you want. I myself use -arR Once you have run portupgrade, and if by chance the meta-port did get updated, portupgrade will bring that up to the current build for FreeBSD.

Not sure, I think some do, but everything I have hear does not seem to
have that problem.
OK, so how do you get cvsup to use xorg? As best I can tell, it will
depend on either XFree86 (XFree86 v. 3) or XFree86-4-libraries (XFree86
v. 4), with no option to depend on xorg-libraries.
Both the XFree86-4-libraries and xorg-libraries provide the
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 shared library (amongst others). It's the
same ABI independent of which port the shlib comes from.
The short answer is just install the x11/xorg-libraries port before
you install cvsup.
In fact, cvsup works perfectly well even if you replace the XFree86
libs with the xorg ones underneath a previously installed copy of
cvsup. Doesn't even need a recompile. The same goes for most X based
software.
Here's how it works: when the Makefile in the cvsup port says
USE_XLIB that gets transformed into a LIB_DEPENDS line in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk:
LIB_DEPENDS+= X11.6:${PORTSDIR}/x11/XFree86-4-libraries
(assuming you've not got XFREE86_VERSION == 3).
That LIB_DEPENDS line is in two parts separated by a colon. The first
bit:
X11.6
means that the port needs to link against libX11.so.6, and it checks
to see if a suitable shlib is installed and accessible by grep'ing in
the output of ldconfig:
% ldconfig -r | fgrep X11.6
116:-lX11.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
Since last night on my system that's from:
% pkg_info -W /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 was installed by package
xorg-libraries-6.7.0
If make(1) can find a suitable shlib, everything is happy and the
compile continues -- all make looks for is the presence of the
library. It doesn't check what (if any) port the library is part of.
Only if it can't find the correct shlib does the right hand side of
that LIB_DEPENDS line get considered:
${PORTSDIR}/x11/XFree86-4-libraries
That's simply a suggestion of a suitable port that will provide the
required shlib, and fulfil the dependency. But there are several such
ports in the tree, any of which could be used. Often in such
situations there will be some sort of 'WANT_FOO' or 'WITH_FOO_VER'
make variable to select which one gets used. Unfortunately, no such
mechanism for saying I want X.Org ports in preference to XFree86
ones has yet been committed.
One annoyance due to the lake of make(1) infrastructure is that the
suggested port will be listed in the package dependencies of the
installed port, rather than the actual port that provided the shlib
you used to build against. That, however, is just an administrative
detail which you can fix up with pkgdb(1), and has no real bearing on
the effectiveness of the software.
Cheers,
Matthew
Odd - all I did was remove XFree, install the Xorg meta-port. Rename
XF86Config to xorgcfg in /etc/X11R6, restart X and bingo.
Now, I am cvsup'in as we speak - then again, I don't use the gui version of

port upgrades
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* 5.2.1-RELEASE I've started using 'portupgrade' to update several ports to the latest versions, but have an odd problem when it comes to certain ports. For example: server# pkg_version -v | grep Spam bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63 needs updating (port has 2.63_2) server# portupgrade bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin --- Skipping 'mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin' because it is held by user (specify -f to force) server# portupgrade -f bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin So I use the -f flag to force, and get several errors like: === p5-MIME-Base64-3.01 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of converters/p5-MIME-Base64 without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/converters/p5-MIME-Base64. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest-SHA1. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/security/p5-Digest-HMAC. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/dns/p5-Net-DNS. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade64155.0 make ** Fix the problem and try again. ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin (bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63) (unknown build error) --- Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed I can successfully install Mail::SpamAssassin using cpan, but it never seems to show up as the latest version (always seems to need upgrading when looking at pkg_version).

Re[2]: port upgrades

Yes, at some point. I did solve the problem: I finally deleted all packages that were installed directly from cpan, and added them back with the pkg_add command. Now all is well.

JAILS: Shared IP?
When co-locating a FreeBSD box being used for 4 websites (inside jails),... 1) What would be the advantage(s) or disadvanatage(s) of giving each website it's own IP vs sharing a single IP? 2) Is one going to be more difficult to set up than the other? 3) Would it be better to use something like Webmin to configure the setup instead of trying to do it by hand, or does that take away from learning?

Question on FreeBSD name resolution
I just installed 5.1 and have been playing around with it, but I am troubled by an issue with my network configuration. I apologize if this is the wrong list, it seemed to be the most appropriate. I want to at least get the machine working so then I can start working through learning the ins and outs. My FreeBSD box is running on a Dell laptop on my home network where I have three other Windows based machines. All of my machines are configured to use another NT-Based firewall as both the default gateway and DNS server, which is connected out to the Internet via cable. Im using the default network settings that were configured when I installed the system. The network card is configured to use DHCP and when I do an ifconfig I see the Ethernet card has an appropriately assigned IP address netmask. If I ping a website by its DNS name, the name resolves quickly and I get ping responses back pretty quickly (as I would expect). When I use FTP, Telnet, or WWW to try to connect to an address by FQDN, it takes a few minutes to establish the connection. However when I use the associated IP address instead of the FQDN it connects instantly. It seems like the TCP (or at least FTP, WWW Telnet) programs are having an issue with resolving the name. My guess is that they are timing out through trying to resolve via one means, and therefore then try a DNS resolve. Is there a way to determine the order in which the system currently does name resolution? I looked for the host.conf file in my /etc folder and there was one, but even when I added one in it didnt help. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

4.9-RELEASE jails and named
Greetings, I have a server which will host 3 websites, and is assigned a single local IP address (one from the 192.168.x.x group). I created 3 jails which are up and running, and each website will be contained entirely within it's own jail. The jail hostname reflects the domain of the website it will host. The only daemons running in each jail (for now) are cron and sshd, and each jail has a single wheel user. Some might call this the beginnings of a virtual server? This host server runs named. For now, I tell my home computer to use the host server's public IP address as my only DNS server, so I can access (in theory) each jail/website by name. I enabled named in rc.conf, then created named.conf, then created zone files for the server, the 3 jails/websites, and reverse DNS. This process was rather complicated, and somewhere along the way I have configured something wrong. The way the zones are set up for the jails/websites, when I ping from my home computer, it resolves the name to the host server IP and pings it just fine. But if I try to ssh to the jail/website by name, it ends up ssh'ing to the host server. The only way I found to ssh into the jail/website was to first ssh into the host server, then from there I could ssh to the jail/website by using it's local IP address. At least pings from the outside world can get to the host server but once at the host server, how do I get that traffic routed to the correct jail/website (local IP address)? This is much tougher than I expected, and after hours of trial and error trying to self-teach myself how to do this, I digress... I must once again ask for help from the experts. All assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Network Device(s) within jail?
4.9-RELEASE Hello, I now have a server running named, and it's assigned a public IP address. Within this server is a jail that is running sshd, and the jail has it's own unique public IP. The ethernet adapter has an alias to accommodate the jail. (And it also works if I put the alias on the loopback - not sure if there is any difference.) If I ssh into the jail and run /stand/sysinstall, then use the menu selections to try to obtain a port or package via FTP, I get to the part where I select an FTP site the receive the following error message: no network devices available and I can't go any farther. Any suggestions? I did manage to find one previous post somewhere about this, from over a year and a half ago, and I didn't fully understand what was being said about low level calls. The reply did tend to indicate you can't FTP from inside a jail, but I am hoping the technology has changed and now it's possible well, I can hope, right?

While I really don't understand exactly what that means, I guess it brings up the questions: 1) Can I use FTP to install ports or packages without going through sysinstall? 2) If not, is there any other way to get the entire ports collection into the jail, without actually being at the console? And if I create a jail from a system with no ports, does that mean the jail will have no ports? And if my system has the entire ports collection installed, will a new jail also have them?

Re: Upgrading from 4.3 to 5.2
