Sorry, maybe I should have been more explicit.  On most i386
platforms, the disk labels are a second-order thing.  First you have
the BIOS partition table, which defines up to four slices ad0s1 to
ad0s4.  Your dubious slice could be any of these.  Take a look at each
of them and see if that tells you something.  It's also worth looking
at the BIOS partition table.

Oh, good point.

However, what I posted was accurate--I'd no doubt forget about this in real

Re: can't print to non-ps printer with cups 1.1.15.1 from ports

[Michael W. Collette]

I'm getting the exact same problem here, with an HP5000.  It looks like a 
seperate port is going to be needed for ESP Ghostscript for this version.

http://www.cups.org/ghostscript.html

Alan is working on this one now, and we'll hopefully see a fix soon for this.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=40488

Last update on this was about a week ago.  Man this port got real complicated 
real fast.

is there anybody who already connected his freebsd machine to the internet
though windows 2000 machine running virtual private networking? can you show me
your ppp.conf file?

i read carefully ppp manual, handbook and faq but it did not help.

my computer address 192.168.1.116 and vpn server address 192.168.1.253. when i
use windows 2000 it works perfectly. after i connect to the server the status
is:

Not unless you post the exact crontab entry back to the mailing list.  What 
user is it running as?  Is anything sent to the user via email, with 
diagnostic output that might help identify the problem?  If so, post that 
as well.

You might want to go over the crontab entry format as well.

Are your ports up to date?

When ever I have had problems installing from the ports it is often
because the dependencies are differnent that the ones the port is looking
for. It may accept the older port while installing but actually err
during the make or the install. I had this happen about 6 or 7 times
when I tried installing galeon, which, since we're on the subject,
I find to be a great browser. I had mosiac install fine, but found
alot of display problems as a browser. It could have been a configuration thing.

Probably a new "every so often..."  There was an
issue, committer MFC'd it but some servers apparently
were quite a bit behind replicating it to the cvs tree.

You must have grabbed source from the right
 server at just the right  time.

You can check the archives to see what was
up, I can't remember off-hand.  I don't think
your install of SAMBA has anything to do
with this.

Try a different cvsup server. I was using cvsup16 and had the same 
error. I switched to cvsup13 and it went away.

What version of gtk+-2.0 do you have installed?  This port built just
fine for me 5 seconds ago with gtk-2.0.5.

Hi Stacey!

I replied to your other message from Friday in regards to the follow
symlinks problem.  I would suggest removing mod_frontpage, frontpage,
and apache from your system and any manually remove directories that the
uninstall script is unable to remove.

Now that your server is back to a virgin state, try these instructions:

-
cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
make WITH_APACHE_PERF_TUNING=YES all install clean

cd /usr/ports/www/frontpage
make all install clean

cd /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage
chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/local/www/data.default
make all install clean
vi /usr/local/etc/httpd.conf  -- make the changes according to
mod_frontpage/pkg_message

echo followsymlinks:1 >> /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/frontpage.cnf
/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/fp_install.sh

cd /usr/local/www/data
find . -name .htaccess -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -name _vti\* -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
-

I spent a few hours building these instructions to get a working
Apache-FP server.

Hi Stacey!

Before you run fp_install.sh, execute the following statement:

echo followsymlinks:1 >> /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/frontpage.cnf

Now you can run fp_install.sh and the installation will proceed
successfully.

man syslogd:
 For security reasons, syslogd will not append to log files that do not
 exist; therefore, they must be created manually before running syslogd.

So the easiest way is:
touch `cat /etc/syslog.conf  | awk '{ print $2}' | grep var`

and restart syslogd:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`

You should touch all of the files, else syslog won't log to them when it is 
restarted.

Hauppauge and X Fatal Crash

[Michael Wells]

I asked about this problem a few weeks ago but had 
no response 
so I will try and rephrase it.  
I installed and built 4.6 Release with KDE 3.  
Everything runs stable.
I added Hauppauge WinTV/Radio card and everything 
was functioning
normal.  After about 24 hours I rebooted the 
system and this is when
everything unravels.  Upon starting KDE things 
start to look good
until it comes to initializing the windows 
manager.  At this point
the machine shuts down and reboots itself.  
Starting X without
KDE causes the same failure.
This is the second time this has happened.  I 
am not sure how to
go about debugging this and any guidance would be 
appreciated.

I'm a huge Gnome fan.  However, for administration, I mostly refuse to touch
GUI configurators.  When I update the configuration of a complex system, I
want to know *exactly* what's being changed.  Furthermore, after learning
how to configure different programs, I find 'vi complex-program.conf' to be
extremely user-friendly.  Most config files are more well-documented than
their GUI counterparts.

The bigger problem IMHO with GUI configuation programs is that they produce

impossible to do these things.

Information hiding is not *always* a good thing!

This implies your 'if=' filter (which you have as apsfilter) is

to me...  I do not see any "signal 41" (or 0x29) in signal.h.

Hmm, well, it might help if you were a little more up-to-date, as the
source code that I'm looking at is 4.6-stable.

First you would want to figure out which step is causing the problem.
I assume you mean you have a printer connected directly to your
freebsd box, and you are using samba so that Windows PC's can send
print jobs to that printer.

With the above, can you send any print job to /dev/lpt0 ?  (just
"cat" a file onto that device name).  If that works OK, then what
happens if you use 'lpr' on your freebsd box to send a job to that
print queue?

<==> pointer in galeon (and "nt") under KDE3

[Brian T. Schellenberger]

I just updated my system after about six months, and this is surely the most 
trivial of issues, but . . .

For some reason, now that I've updated my system to stable (as of Friday 
night) and also wiped out and reinstalled *all* of my packages and ports, 
I've run into a rather odd problem:

In Galeon (and also in the "nt" executable from downloader), the pointer shape 
is a

   <==>

even when the cursor is over menus and buttons and other things where you'd 
expect an arrow cursor.  In the "nt" it seems to be everywhere except at the 
very bottom of the window.  In the case of galeon, it *does* turn to arrow 
over the actual web page, but on the buttons and menus on the top it remains 
a <==>.  It does change to an i-bar in the text widgets, though.  And on the 
bottom part of the window (below the web page) it turns into an up-and-down 
arrow through most of the bottom, and angled in the corners.

It seems as if whoever is doing the arrows (window manager or window, I'm not 
sure) is very confused about the geometry of the Window and thinks of a huge 
portion of the window as being a grababble border.

Yet you can't actually grab it--if you click you can't really grow or shrink 
the window except where you should be able to do so.

Also, the actual title bar causes the pointer to revert back to a pointer.

I run KDE and galeon is a gnome application, so that might explain some 
weirdness, but nt doesn't seem to be a gnome application.  It doesn't happen 
for generic X applications like xterm, xvile, or (more significantly) xmcd.

Though seemingly trivial, this is incredibly distracting.

Any ideas?

Re: installing 4.6 issue

"no screens found" is X's way of saying "i couldn't start up any of the
configurations you told me to try." you need to configure
/etc/X11/XF86Config. look in the handbook (freebsd.org/doc/handbook/)
and read the sections on configuring X.

repost of gconf-editor / gnome2 question

[burningclown]

All -

I'm still unable to get Gnome2 to build in 4.6 STABLE. I posted this error 
before but got no response ... am I the only one who has seen this or am I 
asking a dopey question?

I tried building with 'portinstall -R gnome2' which helped to upgrade a few 
other things, but the build is still choking on gconf-editor. I looked for a 
package of gconf-editor but didn't find one.

Here is the error output:

as Brian wrote, your question is very ambiguous, and in more than
one way.

X has no place on *servers*, but then again, i don't usually leave
my pc when i want to do anything on a server: i just open a new
terminal window, ssh into the server, and do what i need. soo. just
as Brian said, and even more explicitly someone whose name i don't
remember quite some time age: i use gui (a window manager) to have
many terminals.

the only gui apps i currently use are mozilla, xv, gv, and gvim.
other than that, it's all commandline, ncurses, etc: zsh, lftp,
mutt, w3m, tethereal...

freebsd equivalent to iwlist

[Laurence Berland]

All,
I'm looking for a way to list all the wireless network access points
available within range.  I think you do this under linux with iwlist, but
I'm really not sure how to do this under FreeBSD.  Anyone want to point me
in the right direction?

TIA,

That's a little ambiguous.  I, for one, Like to use a GUI on my "main screen" 
just so that I can have editor windows up and shells up at the same time and 
see the one while working in the other.

I don't like using GUI *tools* for anything.  So I use a GUI, but within the 
GUI I strictly use the CLI (shell), not the GUI tools.

Did you mean "do you prefer a GUI environment vs. a console" or
"do you prefer GUI tools vs. command-line tools"?

PS: I'm not really an administrator, so I don't technically qualify the answer 
the question.  Also, there is a little bit of a lie; there are two GUI tools 
I use: a full-screen editor is, let's face it, a big improvement over a 
line-oriented editor.  I'll take vi over ed any old day of the week.  And, 
for reasons I can't entirely explain, I really like very GUI mail programs.  
Go figure.  But I stick with terminal-window tools for reading news and all 
system-administration functions and everything to do with my job.  I really 
dislike things like "WYSIWYG" word processors, and much prefer LaTeX.  So I'm 
about as much as a stick-in-the-mud as you're likely to find for everything 
but mail.

Why, then, do I run KDE of all things (and really love it)?  I dunno.  Color 
me inconsistent.

Spicifically, in a meta-port, if you look at how the dependencies are
written, they are based on the existence of a specific file as
installed, for instance the existence of the gnome-session file or the
libfreetype.so.9 file.  That is all that make can do.  It cannot verify
that the file was installed from the latest incarnation of the port,
especially if the file name does not change between port revisions.

portinstall works exactly like portupgrade in that it uses a combination
of the /var/db/pkg information *and* the dependency list from the
Makefiles, except that it recurses *outside* of the make system to
determine whether or not the version installed as listed in /var/db/pkg
is older than the version called for in the Makefile.

Also, it uses pkg_delete to remove packages rather than make deinstall. 
If you use make deinstall *after* doing a cvsup, it will *not* remove an
installation which has a different port revision number!  That means
that you package database becomes corrupted and you end up with multiple
registered installations of the same port.  Use pkgdb -F to see this.

In other words, portinstall/portupgrade take care of all of the
nitty-gritty details of making sure that you have a consistent
installation.  make install corrupts your package installation more
often than not.

I suggest that you try pkgdb -F and see what it says.

Re: roaming ipsec policies and racoon

[chris scott]

Racoon certainly aunt well documented, the man page is all you get. Having
said that I have figured out most stuff I need to now. If only winkblows
would do user based preshared key lake racoon can. It would all be so easy.
Interestingly how do most ppl configure their vpn ipsec policies. I found
all the example ones out there would encrypt the inside of the gif,gre,
whatever tunnel. This didn't make sense to me as if you added another
network to one of the lans you would have to update your polices to cope
with the new traffic. I just setup a tunnel, and zebra running ripd on both
hosts then encrypted all tunnel traffic between both the hosts, in my case
ip protocol 4 ( gif tunnel ). Works fine for me all I have to do now is
configure a new interface for the new network and bang it sorts out the
rest.

SPAM from charlie root.

[sagacious]

How do I stop getting these emails. This incident happened over a month
ago. 

On Fri Jul  5 10:40:05 2002, the user root was editing a
file named fstab on the machine , when it was saved for recovery. You
can recover most, if not all, of the changes to this file using the -r
option to vi:

vi -r fstab

I get tham every time the machine reboots. Thanks.

Hm. you should see lines with "top" in the 2nd column.  It looks like
top isn't even being executed at all.  Ah, wait.  Top is setuid root on
-STABLE.  Try running ktrace/top as root.  You should get a much larger
dump.  Only the last 20 or so lines will be important

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Pressing ^T doesn't change anything.

svss@purpurea:~$ top
^T^C
svss@purpurea:~$

I used

svss@purpurea:~$ ktrace top -b -d1
^C
svss@purpurea:~$

(Is this the correct usage? I hope I understood the manpage here.) The
corresponding output from kdump is

svss@purpurea:~$ kdump
  45359 ktrace   RET   ktrace 0
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/sbin/top"
  45359 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/bin/top"
  45359 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/sbin/top"
  45359 ktrace   RET   execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
  45359 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbff5f8,0xbfbffb00,0xbfbffb10)
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/bin/top"
  45359 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1"

A kdump from my machine at home where top is working gives the "same" output
(only the numbers given with execve differ).

"ktrace -di top -b -d1" gives the same output as above.

Perhaps you can give mysql a path as well as a filename, ie

To get this clear (taking for granted that you've written this as you really 
meant), whilst I understand what portupgrade -R does (this has been my 
preferred method of upgrading ports), what effect does portinstall have for 
attempts to install new apps, as against running make install?

Thanks for taking the time.

I found it a little more complicated than IP-based IPSec, but it
gives you more flexibility. The biggest problem was when I screwed
up with the srever DN. It took a while to find how you can get the
Windows XP client to tell you what it dowsn't like. Typically
Micro$oft.  "Something went wrong, and as a Windows user we assume
you're too stupid to understand what." G

Racoon is quite decent, but badly documented. And when I last looked,
it lacked CRL (Certificate Revocation List) support. And I needed
that for my client, so I had to use FreeS/WAN.

Rechecking CRL support, I found this URL:
  http://www.sigsegv.cx/FreeBSD-WIN2K-IPSEC-HOWTO.html
It doesn't say if CRLs work, but it looks helpful for people
wanting to do certificates.

Matrox 450 DualHead for dual console?

[Warren Block]

Is there a utility to enable both outputs of the Matrox 450 in console
mode?  Matrox's "PowerDesk" utility does this for X, and after quitting
X, the console output is shown on both.  However, PowerDesk wants to
overwrite my working X config with a non-working one.

All I'm looking for is the same output to be present on both monitors,
but for the console (text mode) as well as X.

(The result would be a system with two sets of keyboards and monitors,
usable from either.  Simultaneous use of both is not needed--but would 
be neat.)

Did you do "reboot" first...?? and then wait for the prompt about "hit
a key" before it goes into the full boot when you see that prompt, hit
a key as prompted and you should then see "ok" at the prompt... now do
"boot -s"

Just guessing what you have tried

"it doesn't work" doesn't help anyone figure out WHY it doesn't work. 

1. WHEN are you doing the boot -s?
2. When you do it what happens? Something has to happen, that something
is important.

Describe what you mean by doesn't work at all. When are you using boot -s,
at the prompt that says hit enter or any other key?

Hi

I'm trying to recover a root password however when

I can mount this disk from another OS (openbsd) and see

Is there any other way i can break the password so i
can make this work.,

My low-end box was unusable when XFree installed contemporary window
managers (KDE in this case), but became quite responsive and usable when I
dropped back to 'fvwm2': _much_ lighter weight, and it shows. You might
consider such a work-around.

I also sawsome notes to the effect that a certain amount of
KDE-compatibility had been grafted onto the current 'fvwm[2?]', but I
haven't tested this.

portinstall and portupgrade are virtually the same thing relative to the
install first time/upgrade already installed ports.

The important thing to remember is the -R and -r switches which
distinguish the entire portupgrade system from make install.  With the
-R switch, everything that the port depends on will be upgraded *before*
the port is upgraded.  This solves many problems with meta-ports like
gnome2.  The problem with make install in a meta-port is that the make
system is not smart enough to do the portupgrade -R function.

Embrace portupgrade and all of its attendant stuff like pkgdb,
pkg_delete, ports_glob and pkg_glob.

The make system is not good enough.  make deinstall in the make system
*will not* remove installed executables if you have already done a
cvsup!  makedeinstall fails more times than it succeeds.  pkg_delete
works off the /var/db/pkg area.  make deinstall works off the /usr/ports
area.  There is a difference.  Do not rely on make deinstall.

That is why I recommended that you read the portupgrade man page and all
related man pages in order to learn what the entire system of ruby tools
can do for you.

You have to "make deinstall" to remove the binaries you have installed,
"make clean" tidies up the port you're in and "make distclean" tidies up
/usr/ports/distfiles too.

Hit ^T here instead of ^C.  That will print a status line saying where
top is blocking in the kernel.  Also try ktrace'ing it, hit ^C, and use
kdump to see what top was doing when you hit ^C.

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this so difficilt?????

[sroberts]

I'll answer for each point here, if its okay:

> Step 0.  cvsup your ports tree.
Ports tree already cvsup'd (three times since yesterday morning)

> Step 0.5  Install portupgrade from /usr/ports/portupgrade.  Learn how to
> properly use the new tools, especially the -R and -r flags to
> portinstall/portupgrade.
Portupgrade is already installed ( and I can't upgrade something that isn't 
already installed, or am I wrong?)

I haven't tried portinstall.., how is this different to running "make && make 
install clean in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2?

> portinstall -R gnome2
Again, I've not tried portinstall for gnome2 either.

Seeing that gnome2 flaked out on the gle error, would "make distclean" be 
sufficient for removing the bins that got downloaded for this failed install?

Thanks for the information here.

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this so difficilt?????

[Adam Weinberger]

my post was in direct response to your questions about "how do i
completely remove gnome."

some components seem to be installed, and some aren't. if you have no
particular schedule, just remove everything having to do with Xwindows
and start again.

pkg_deinstall -r XFree\*
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
make install clean

ok. does it say what the fatal errors were? which makefile is it
referring to? what kind of system are you running? what version?

the welcome message i was referring to was the message that was sent to
you saying "welcome to the freebsd-questions list. save and read the

Re: Problem Installing Mosaic

[Parker Brown]

Thanks for the response, Adam.  But this is more than just a matter of
semantics:  what is "the message that was sent to (me) when (I) subscribed to
this list?"  I guess I subscribed when BSD 2.1.5 was released, but I don't
think that is what you meant.  I guess I need the guidelines.

RE: make buildworld error

[Balaji, Pavan]

libpam -- the 'cause of the error is not installed by the standard
installation settings in FreeBSD 4.6. You need to either use completer
installation from the CD or remove libpam from the Makefile in /usr/src/lib
-- I used the second one, and it hasn't given any problems so far.

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this so difficilt?????

[sroberts]

Thanks Adam,
  But do I do this instead of continuing with the gnome2 bins that I 
already have? The reply I had to the gnome2 build errorlog I submitted earlier 
led me to believe that the gnome2 installation errors center on the fact that 
something wasn't quite right in the XFree86-4 install I did yesterday.

Or., is your post for general information?

Thanks all the same.

Re: Problem Installing Mosaic

[Adam Weinberger]

what you've provided isn't the error message. it's a message stating
that there was a failure. the error message is the part that says
exactly what didn't work. you're going to have to provide some more
information.

read the message that was sent to you when you subscribed to this list.
it contains instructions on what information you need to include.

btw, it compiles fine for me.

Problems Installing "xv"

[Parker Brown]

Even make depend won't get me around this message:

Can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/MenuPopdown.3.html  at
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkhtmlindex line 57

Turns out that ../MenuPopdown.3.html exists as a symbolic link to
XtPopdown.3.html, which doesn't exist in that (../doc/html) directory.

After all that, I can actually call xv from X (because it got linked
into /usr/X11R6/bin, but xv does *not* show up as having been installed.

Please help.

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this sodifficilt?????

[Joe Kelsey]

Step 0.  cvsup your ports tree.

Step 0.5  Install portupgrade from /usr/ports/portupgrade.  Learn how to
properly use the new tools, especially the -R and -r flags to
portinstall/portupgrade.

You can stop any re-install at any point.

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this so difficilt?????

[Adam Weinberger]

if you have sysutils/portupgrade installed, do

~/#  pkg_deinstall -r gnome\*

that will delete anything gnome, and everything built that depends on
it.

Problem Installing Mosaic

[Parker Brown]

Makefile seems to be compromised in /usr/ports/www/Mosiac.  I get:
make: fatal errors encountered "Makefile" line 30

make also complains about lines 33 and 35.  How can I correct it?

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this so difficilt?????

[sroberts]

Hi Kevin,
   Okay.., I'm at the point of considering rebuilding the box here.

Before I do, I'd appreciate though, frank answers to two scenarios if you can..,

1] Stop the current re-install of XFree86-4 (with the constant failings due to 
components being already installed:-

Can I stop this re-install?
Is there a procedure for then ensuring that I *copmpletely* wipe all instances 
of XFree- from the system, before attempting installing via a package?

2] Seeing that this whole situation is all about my initial failed attempts to 
install gnome2,:

After completion of the XFree86-4 install (via ports or packages), should I 
proceed on from the point where the gnome2 install fails (at the gle error)?

If not, and I have to re-fetch fresh gnome2 sources, is there a procedure for 
*completely* removing ALL instances of gnome from the system?

For both scenarios above, how do I ensure that I get the latest (hopefully 
correct) binaries for installation?

Thanks again Kevin., Please don't think that I mean to place you in a spot or 
anything., you're just the *only* person that's bothered to reply to my post on 
this list.

You should check /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/majordomo.

Try running that command directly at the command line and see what messages 
you get, and try looking at the file to see if there's anything obviously 
wrong about it.

It sounds like everything wasn't quite removed when you deinstalled.

ls /var/db/pkg | grep -i xfree

That should show up a few things that might need removing.  Else make
sure your ports tree is fully up to date and then run:

portversion -L =

That may show up a few out of date things that could be worth upgrading.

portupgrade -rR XFree86-4

The above might resolve a few issues if you are out of date.  Else it
might be worth thinking about packages this time: 

pkg_add -r XFree86-4

Will get the latest binary and hopefully get you back to a working
state.  Then you could probably track X using portupgrade to reduce
hassle.
