It doesn't take "commands"; it takes "targets". Explaining why that is meaningful involves understanding what make(1) actually does.

help setting up wine
Hello , Setting up wine? I just installed wine from the 4-stable packages and need some guidance on setting it up. The host i installed wine on does not have any "real" window partitions as the hd is dedicated to freebsd. according to the documentation if the latter is the case then one needs to make fake window directories. The documentation shows the dir. that need to be created , c:\windows, c:\windows\system c:\windows\Start Menu and c:\windows\start Menu\Programs I read i can make these fake directories anywhere so i though about making a wine dir. in usr and creating them there. #mkdir -p wine cd wine mkdir -p /windows, windows/system etc... is this correct? my next question is if the above is how you would create the fake directories then how do you create the required directory Start Menu? There is a space there, mkdir will create two separate directories Start and Menu not one directory Start Menu as the document says to create. After creating the fake directories i assume the last part is to just tell the config in ~./ that /usr/wine is its root for c: is this all or is there more. i think the registry is setup when installing the package is this correct? Thanks, Are there any good docs. for setting up wine on freebsd without a native windows partition, as the one from the winehq site is misleading. -- Best regards, SweeTLeaF mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

It will kill Qt, and ALL things depending upon it. Yes, even if you have Qt2 only apps. Qt2 and Qt3 don't live nicely together on the same box. If you have apps you rely upon that are Qt only, such as QCad or Kvirc, they up and break at this point.

I don't know off the top of my head if you can symlink out of a chrooted environment, I'm thinking you can't, but if you can then that is another option. So you'd have /home/ftp/upload, /home/ftp/download, both set to read write and execute for members of the group ftp, then the private dirs would be /home/ftp/users/someuser, where users is read write execute to the ftp group, and someuser is read write and execute only to the user someuser.

Ports FAQ is a great read
RE: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html RE2: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html This is a GREAT read, strongly recommended for newbies. One or two corrections though. The part that says "Note: You must be the root user to install ports" applies only if you don't edit the Makefil and specify a different install path. Also, the handbook could be a little clearer about options for users that do not want to install the entire ports tree, and instead want to cvsup one specific folder, such as /usr/ports/java/jdk (Note to self - wow! a "whereis" command?? running "make ; make install" can be shortened to just "make install" - cool!) One final suggestion for www.freebsd.org - I would like a command similar to "make search name=xx" that would attempt to match any package that can be "pkg_add"'ed from the ports collection. True, searching the ports yields lots of links, (Description, Sources, Changes, Download, etc) but it is difficult to figure out what's a port only and what can be pkg_add -r installed! The one thing I haven't learned yet is what "make install clean" does exactly and why "make" can take different commands in the first place. PS - RE2 is also an amazing read, kudo's to the fine authors!! -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

This sounds like you don't have the proper terminal type set in PuTTY or your shell environment. Can you check the terminal type that PuTTY advertises to the ssh connection, and compare it with the output of the following command, while connected to FreeBSD? echo $TERM I have used PuTTY to connect to FreeBSD machines, or Linux machines, or Solaris machines, with an advertised terminal type of "xterm".

If larger, then > that larger portion will be unusable. You can also use dd(1) on a slice: dd bs=8192 if=/dev/ad0s1 of=/dev/ad2s2 Same size caveats apply. The output slice must fit and will be the same size as the input slice. This is handy because you can copy one or two slices to a smaller disk (as long as it has room for the slices) and you can re-order slices. I used to regularly backup my 12 GB drive to a 6 GB drive by copying the first two slices, one Windows and one FreeBSD. Both were bootable if I installed the disk in place of ad0. (Actually, it was bootable from ad2, but required a stand alone boot to edit the fstab.) R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Q: continuing interrupted 'make buildworld'
Freebies - I would like to restart a 'make buildworld' without deleting or recreating any unnecesary files (i.e., after messing about in the source tree). How should I do this? (Is this the effect of 'make -DNOCLEAN buildworld'?) More generally, is there some outline or the _more_important_ 'make' targets after one has done 'cvsup'? (By '_more_important_' I really mean the ones a person is likely to use commonly.) Also, where should I look to get an idea of the defined tags for 'cvsup' (RELENG_4_5_??? for example)?

CVSROOT is used by cvs(1), which doesn't normally come into doing a buildworld. CVSROOT normally contains the path to the cvs repository. cvsup(1) is a program for synchronising filesystems across a network efficiently.

HP Netserver LH Pro RAID logical disk
Hi, I recently bought a HP Netserver LH Pro. It has a HP NetRAID controller with 5 disks attached to it (4x 9.1GB + 1x 2GB, all hotswappable). So it should have a total of 38GB of disk space. But when I look in the HP NetRAID express tools (some sort of BIOS, accessable at boot time) it says that the logical disk is 28GB. When I install FreeBSD, fdisk also says that the size of the disk is 28GB. At this time the machine is configured with RAID-5 (configured this way when I bought it). So my questions are where the other 10GB are, and is there a way to use the total 38GB for FreeBSD? I don't know much about RAID configurations (yet).

I am not sure to understand your question but all you need to do is burn the iso to a CD; If you are under Windows you can use Nero to burn it. In case you're under linux or so, use cdrecord.

RE: I'm New, Help, regarding Installation
When you burn the ISO images to the CD it converts it from the ISO format to an actual CD where files and such are present on the CD. ISO is simply a standard for exchanging images of entire CDs with other people over the internet and such. Think of it as a giant zip file. You will need to have a program that supports ISO burning to burn the CDs but most programs will do that. An excellent program for burning ISO's on windows is Nero Burning ROM and there are many for Linux. At boot time set your computer to boot off of the CD-ROM in the BIOS and put your newly burned CD in the drive. It will then recognize it and boot off the CD you made. Keep in mind that some older CD-ROMs and BIOSEs do not support booting off CD-ROM. Generally with newer computers, this is not a problem. If you do run into this, you will need to create boot floppies. Please read the Handbook on this issue. Make sure to read the FreeBSD Handbook thoroughly on installation before starting to do anything as it will save you lots of headaches. An alternative is to get a book from Amazon. I recommend FreeBSD Unleashed as it is very friendly to those that are new to BSD. Good luck!

If burning as data you will end upp with one big file with extension .iso and you will not be able to boot. If burning as an ISO you will end up with a CD with a lot of files on it. I do not know what kind of burner software you are using, but Easy CD Creator, among many others, are able to burn ISO's. > Do I just need the ISo images to install FREEbsd?

nono. that's an irrelevant comparison. if you install a tape deck and a
CD player in your car, you can listen to CDs and casette tapes. there's
no problem about the CD player not supporting casette tapes. all that
matters is whether the head unit has inputs for both devices.
same thing here. you have qt libs and kde libs, which are necessary to
run KDE applications. stop thinking like Windows. qt and gtk are just
libraries, not exclusive entities.

Re: How to restore 'getty'
no. 'make all' is the same thing as typing 'make' with no targets. it is dangerous to just build without making dependencies, especially now that you have started building things randomly throughout the tree. if you're building just one piece, ALWAYS do: make depend obj all install the reason the Makefile has no targets is because of the .include line. that includes hundreds of lines of Makeifle code. you need to install world completely. when you installed your system, it seems you probably left out important pieces, and now you've upgraded getty, but nothing else. please follow the documented procedure in the handbook to build/install world. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html -Adam >> (09.30.2002 @ 0228 PST): Roger Merritt said, in 1.4K: << > At 11:43 AM 9/30/02 +0300, Toomas Aas wrote: > >Hello! > > > >> I've been searching the google group without finding anything on this > >> subject.

Don't have time to look for it myself here at work, but are there any 4.7-RC notes, and if so, do they answer Octavian's question? Failing that, is anyone successfully running one of these cards with 4-STABLE? Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Unable to make the keyboard work "properly"
HELLO. here is my problem. When I'm on the machine the keyboard works perfect, but when i conect to that box thru SSH (Putty) the keyboard is a mess; backspace is delete, delete doesnt work! nor does HOME, END. I've tried ever possible putty configuration with no luck!! I've tried messing with the /etc/inputrc file but that's a no go I dont know what to do and this "error" is getting very annoying specially cus one of the boxes is used for programming and all other guys are starting to scream at me the Linux boxes work perfect from the same "clients" so for sure the problem is FreeBSD related Thanks for all the help NOTE: I've tried so many different keybind in the .inputrc file that I dont even bother pasting them here I'm using the lastest putty (0.52) and FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE I still cant get the keyboard to work properly and this is sad cus I'll have to drop FreeBSD as a development plataform just for such stupid problem Thanks = _ Do You Yahoo!?

Puzzling NATD problem
The setting: Network topology: Internet---Campus Network---FreeBSD NATD machine---Internal host A custom kernel build including the following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT Used the command: sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 And started natd with natd -interface xl0 Then did, straight from the manpage, the following firewall rules: /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via xl0 /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any Now NAT works perfectly for the internal host, but (almost) all TCP connections cease to work to/from the NATD machine. AFAIK UDP and ICMP work perfectly. I've tried this on two different FreeBSD machines in the same network with identical results. If I remove the divert rule, everything works perfectly, except of course for the NAT. There have been no similar, puzzling effects on any Linux hosts I know of in the same network. I'm sure there's some knob I haven't pushed yet :) I'm aware this doesn't make much of a firewall but I'd like to get natd working before I run the firewall script. -- Kim Helenius [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
FREEBSD CD Distribution
Hi, Just wondering if it is legal to distribute your iso files on CD-rom. I would like to offer them for sale as a service for people without broadband connections. Basically, I would be downloading the iso's from your site and offer the service of distribution thru ebay for a reasonable sum. This sum would cover my cost of handling, packaging, and shipping. I have done this for Linux distributions in the past but have run into some trouble with US companies stating that I have no right to sell their distros in such manner. Please advise on this issue.

That's the boot loader crashing. That's pretty severe. In principal,
given the crashdump you've printed out, it should be possible to go
into the loader code and work out what was happening at that point,
but you'ld probably have to ask on freebsd-hackers to find someone
with the skills to do that.
This could be one of a number of problems --- disk hardware failure,
problems with the BIOS, wrong disk geometry. It's unlikely to be
anything to do with the NICs.
One problem, and the first thing to check, is something that used to
be fairly common until sysinstall was modified to remove the
temptation to use such things. "Dangerously dedicated" disks sound
pretty cool to the uninitiated, but beware: many SCSI
controllers/bioses can't cope with them. Unfortunately, the only
solution if you've installed your system this way is to go back to the
beginning and start all over again, and this time, install a proper
partition table.
If that isn't the case, can you verify that you can boot using the
boot blocks from the installation media (I assume CD Rom)?
Use this procedure:
Start to boot the system from the CD. When you get the 10 second
count down, hit the space bar to interrupt. You should end up at
the boot: prompt.
Now type:
unload
lsdev
This will either generate a BTX dump (in which case, you've
probably got pretty bad hardware problems) or it should show you a
list of all potential boot devices, including your hard drive. Now
type:
set currdev={harddrive} (ie. what lsdev returned for your HD)
load kernel
boot
and you should end up with a running system.
If that whole rigmarole worked, then the problem is that somehow the
boot blocks on your hard drive have become scrambled, and you can
probably repair things by reinstalling them.
If it didn't work and you're not using dangerously dedicated disks,
then you've got really nasty trouble lowlevel trouble which will take
time, effort and probably the services of a FreeBSD guru to sort out.
Cheers,
Matthew

The system sed has been enhanced to include that -i option, but the ports should be able to build without it, if tweaked properly. Depending on what stage the sed invocation comes in at, you might be able to get it running just by adding "USE_REINPLACE= yes" to the gdk-pixbuf Makefile.

Or, is this just Plain Apache 1.3.26? I'm not an expert but thought I'd pass along how it worked for me. Maybe others will correct me if I'm wrong... :) Anyway, I don't think the plain Apache port has the FP patch compiled in. However, when you install the FP extensions port, you will see mod_frontpage get installed as a dependency. As I understand it, then mod_frontpage gets loaded as a "DSO". I don't remember what "DSO" stands for exactly but it means that it mod_frontpage gets loaded dynamically when Apache starts, resulting in the same functionalitly as if it were compiled in. There is probably a small performance penalty by not having the patch compiled into the Apache binary but it is much simpler to set up. > Also, is it just that the config file has been setup for FPSE, and I > have to apply the patches locally, and then rebuild Apache locally? > For this Port to work. So what worked for me was to install the Apache port first and then install the FrontPage Extensions port. I did not have to build Apache from source. Then the fun begins in ensuring that your httpd.conf file is set correctly so the extensions work. Sorry, I don't remember the specifics. There is also an Apache+FP port that installs both together. However I don't know how it gets along with other Apache modules or options. I just chose to install the plain port and then add other pieces individually. This worked for me.

There is a point in the process where the script that does the installing is going to not be there. Assuming you don't have Ruby installed for any other specific purpose, here's a somewhat cleaner way to do this. Don't just type the following without FULLY considering what this will do.

help with portupgrade portupgrade mess?
If I'd known I'd have troubles, I'd have kept a careful log of which errors occured under which conditions. Unfortunately, I tried what seemed obvious after looking at the man pages and message archives, so the following is a reconstruction from memory. After doing 'portupgrade portupgrade', I got /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:34:in `require': No such file to load -- optparse (LoadError) After cvsup-ing ports, portsdb -uU and various portupgrade -r ruby portupgrade machinations, I started getting [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 266 packages found (-1 +2) (...)Cannot allocate memory: Cannot update the pkgdb!] After searching the message archives and make deinstall; make clean; make reinstall of ruby* and portupgrade, I got memory allocation errors like this # pkgdb -u [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 187 packages found (-4 +4) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:435:in `each': tried to allocate too big memory (NoMemoryError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:435:in `select' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:435:in `update_db' from /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:201:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:61:in `initialize' from /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:61:in `new' from /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:61:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb:914 I also updated to the latest stable world from yesterday (previously from 4 August) to no avail.

Re: How to restore getty [Solved]
The problem that prompted my original question was that init had stalled during local package initialization and I couldn't use my console. I thought the problem was with getty not opening the terminals, but when I noticed that it stalled while running the mysql-server.sh script I recalled that I had been trying to upgrade mysql before the machine rebooted itself. Evidently the mangled incomplete installation of mysql-server was the real problem. I ran portupgrade -Rr mysqlserver, this time it completed, the system ran 'init' again and now everything is working. Thanks to everybody who offered help. I'll try to remember what I learned this time -- what you're looking for is always in the last place you look. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

The problem is that your shell initialization files are printing stuff out even when you aren't logging in interactively, and that's being misinterpreted by the scp or sftp subsystems: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=secure-shell&m=102952631227473&w=2 If you're using csh(1)/tcsh(1), there's a fairly simple cure. You can wrap all the stuff that only appropriate for interactive logins into an if.. statement like so: if ($?prompt) then # Interactive settings go here... set autolist ... endif Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Let's make a layer from top to button:
Gnome/KDE
GKT/QT
Windows manager like Sawfish
X windows
Right? So qt and kde programs can't run under gnome/gkt?!?!

Quotas would work, but requires some administrative oversight by the admin over the users to make sure that files with the group ownership don't get created outside the specific tree or that files belonging to other groups don't appear inside the tree. An alternative approach would be to use vnconfig(8) to create pseudo disks of the right size, which you can then put a filesystem onto and mount in the correct place. I've seen reports that this technique works very well to limit the amount of space a jail(8) can use even if the jail's owner has full control over the password file in it.
