Headless Install
Hi! I try to install 4.10 on headless PC(without a monitor and vga output) So I've used my laptop as a serial console (via null modem cable). All was wonderfull, but after end of install procedure und reboot, I see with this terminal (cu -l /dev/cuaa0) all and the date for the login line. But not the login prompt.

What Makefile? You're installing via packages, and by the time the package has been built, there's no more need for Makefiles... In order to solve your problem, you can follow the instructions so helpfully printed out by pkg_add(1) and use the '-f' flag. That should work fine, as mod_php4 will fulfil the dependencies. Alternately, don't use packages to install PEAR modules. Ports are rather more flexible in this respect than packages, and for such things as PEAR where what's installed is pretty much program source code it makes little practical difference. The only problem with this approach is that you seem to be using a ports tree from around the time of 5.2.1-RELEASE, and since then both the ports tree and the available versions of the PEAR modules have had many months of further development. It's possible that new versions of some modules will have been released and the ones you want have been removed. But the answer to that is just a cvsup(1) away.

Have you gotten your FreeBSD workstation to connect to the network yet? If yes, you can install `portupgrade' and use it to update all your packages/ports to their latest versions. I don't feel safe yet connecting my unsecured box to the net with the 5-10 hits a minute my W2000 box recieves on my broadband link. I have read the security section of the manual would like to get basics working before I rebuild the kernel to install the firewall(which doesn't seem that easy but I will give it try) The average FreeBSD system is vastly more secure than Windows workstations even without a firewall. You shouldn't worry too much about those Windows viruses trying to connect to your workstation, since they expect to find Windows-specific services/programs and will most certainly fail miserably when they hit a BSD machine. Bearing this in mind you might, of course, find it a bit more reassuring to run a firewall like IPFW. But this doesn't *require* a kernel recompile. You can simply load the ipfw.ko module with kldload(8) and immediatelly start setting up the rules of your firewall ruleset. As root, you can load the ipfw module by: # kldload ipfw The default set of firewall packet inspection rules that ipfw loads will block *EVERYTHING* so you might want to do a bit of research on the available rulesets by reading about rc.firewall, rc.conf and/or browse the contents of the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file: # man rc.firewall # man rc.conf # more /etc/defaults/rc.conf For details about the way the rules can be written, the ipfw manpage can provide useful information. # man ipfw Browsing the archives of this list for discussions about IPFW rulesets is also a good idea as a lot of people have posted questions on this topic and have received many helpful answers from knowledgeable list members. This is probably not why xfce doesn't work though. The sysutils/xfce4-utils package installs a command called startxfce4. AFAIK, this is the program that fires up xfce. When you install that package (as part of the dependency list of xfce4) you should be able to use xfce4 as your desktop by editing your ~/.xinitrc file and making sure that the last command it runs is: exec startxfce4 my .xinitrc file contains only the one line: -- exec startxfce4 -- it still won't start. Does the program `startxfce4' even exist on your system? As I mentioned, it's part of the sysutils/xfce4-utils package, so if you didn't install that package you won't have it. As I can't get it to start, I just delete this line using VI(I am getting better :) replace it with exec wmaker which starts OK. Heh. Cool :) I prefer Emacs most of the time, but that's clearly a matter of personal taste so it doesn't matter so much. Apachetoolbox is not an official freeBSD port/package (www.apachetoolbox.com). Its a script/ports pack that you run which creates all the scripts needed to install a large array of Apache other www stuff(eg. MySQL etc). The install file that comes with it says to install it by running install.sh. It says(further down) that BSD users, the script interpreter of install.sh is BASH (/bin/bash). - Thats why I started BASH - Do you know what the bad interpreter error means ??? --- bash-2.05# ./install bash: ./install: No such file or directory bash-2.05# ./install.sh bash: ./install.sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory bash-2.05# ./install bash: ./install: No such file or directory -- The bad intepreter error means that the `install.sh' script (most likely) starts with a line like this: #!/bin/bash This is a special, somewhat magic line that, when present at the start of an executable file, instructs the UNIX kernel to fire up the program following #! and pass the rest of the script as input to this program. The program is then responsible to interpret the script as it sees fit. In this case, the program /bin/bash does not exist, because on FreeBSD bash is installed as /usr/local/bin/bash and not in /bin. The author of this program is most likely a Linux fan and has become accustomed to the Linuxism of expecting that bash is always in /bin :-) Edit `install.sh' and replace `/bin/bash' with `/usr/local/bin/bash' if you have bash installed. As the author of the package has noted below if you don't have bash and the script doesn't use some feature that is bash-specific, you might get away with /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash but this depends on the way the install script is written. ** Solaris/BSD users, the script interpreter of install.sh is BASH (/bin/bash). Bash should be used, YMMV if you change it to /bin/sh. The next

OK, that's just my misunderstanding about ports vs anything else In order to solve your problem, you can follow the instructions so helpfully printed out by pkg_add(1) and use the '-f' flag. That should work fine, as mod_php4 will fulfil the dependencies. well, i thought so originally, but there was always some flavor of conflict. But the answer to that is just a cvsup(1) away. i've already installed cvsup, and supposedly pulled down the ports collection, but it doesn't seem that anything is local, even after running cvsup. i broke down and installed the PEAR stuff manually ... it did the job, but isn't necessarily the optimum solution.

The .csr isn't generated. Here's a patch for the Makefile (submitted
to the port maintainer) to generate the file. Or you can manually do:
cd /usr/local/certs
openssl x509 -x509toreq -in imapd.pem -signkey imapd.pem -out imapd.csr

Ripping Audio CDs and Enhanced Audio CDs?
Hello list, FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, using ripit.pl (audio/ripit) with lame and dagrab. I've got a (quite simple?) question which keeps me up at nights (not really :-). How do you rip those audio CDs that are enhanced? That's the CDs that have such fancy multimedia features you can use when you put the CD in a CD-ROM drive (under Windows of course), eg play some low-quality music video or navigate around some menus. I am of course not interested in any of those features, just want to make some MP3s from that CD so I can put them on my MP3 player. Here's the problem I have with every CD of that kind: I can rip every audio track except the last one, that is the track that comes before the data track on the CD, eg: Track 01: audio . . . Track 09: audio Track 10: data An example of such a CD is the Rock in Rio album by Iron Maiden. Ripping track 09 from the CD fails, no matter what ripper I use (dagrab, dd, cdparanoia, cdda2wav). Unfortunately I can't reproduce any error messages at the moment, but maybe someone knows what I mean? It basically stops reading after about 90% of the track and exists with an error message. Note: ripping and encoding normal CDs works like a charme, from the first to the last track. Using a Windows machine to rip an enhanced CD works of course, but I should be really surprised if such a task was impossible under FreeBSD. Does anybody have an idea? I'd appreciate any help.

Re: Way OT programming question
I've been muddling through some of the source files for FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE, and I've noticed that a large number of .c files in /usr/src have something similar to below in them: #ifndef lint #if 0 static char sccsid[] = @(#)cat.c 8.2 (Berkeley) 4/27/95; #endif #endif /* not lint */ #include sys/cdefs.h __FBSDID($FreeBSD: src/bin/cat/cat.c,v 1.29 2003/04/30 17:40:28 obrien Exp $); 1) Isn't 'if 0' always negative? In a boolean usage like above, yes. Anyway, FALSE usually gets defined to be 0. So, the above piece of code is disabled - sort of commented out, so to speak. 2) What is the __FBSDID line doing?

Chess for Kids (and dummies like dads)
My nearly-eight-year-old son has taken a renewed interest in playing chess, and is also getting his father somewhat inspired as well. A few years ago when he was first interested, I had an old Mac that I ran MacChess on. It was perfect for a five-year-old because you could set it to make completely random moves. Sure it would just happen to take a piece once in a while, but it gave my son lots of confidence that he could play the game and win. Plus I could set it weak enough that I was likely to beat it too if I got tired of getting creamed. Plus my son had fun toying with all the different board and piece designs. That old Mac is history, now it's FreeBSD and Linux or nothin'. So I've built two chess engines -- gnuchess and crafty -- and two GUIs for them -- xboard and knights. This is all well and good if you happen to be a good chess player. Which neither my son nor I are. I've scoured the Internet the best I know how to find something akin to that ol' MacChess program, but I can't find anything. Do any of you have any suggestions? 1. A chess engine that is actually beatable. A truly random move setting would be cool. No matter how weak I make gnuchess and crafty, I get creamed. (OK, I'm really bad. Or I haven't learned how to properly hobble the engines.) Imagine how frustrating it is for an eight-year-old just trying to learn the game. We have to take away the opponent's rooks -- and sometimes the queen, too -- to give him a fighting chance. That's no fun. 2. Alternate GUIs. Personally, I like the look of xboard, but my son gets a kick out of selecting piece sets. Are there any other chess GUIs beyond xboard? Or other piece sets for xboard that folks have built? 3. I can't get knights to work. It doesn't appear to have been updated in over a year. It doesn't work with versions of gnuchess past version 4 (it's been well into version 5 for some time). It doesn't work with the latest version of crafty. There doesn't appear to be any way to just play a game that doesn't involve a game clock. It does, however, have lots of fun board and piece designs, which is why I got it in the first place.

There are no generalized level settings for the chess engines I've found. Apparently, computer chess is quite the discipline, involving plies and nodes and hash tables and who knows what else. As best I can understand, the most I can do to weaken the engine is to restrict the amount of time it has to think over moves and the search depth it is allowed to consider. In xboard, I've set pondering off (so the engine doesn't think when it's not its turn), forced the engine to move after only 1 second of consideration (the minimum time), and restricted the depth to 1 ply or node or whatever. Even doing all that, gnuchess and crafty are much stronger than that old MacChess program I talked about.

building bootable 4.10 cd to support asr-utils configuration tools?
Hi, This is one of those Stop me before I waste my time. questions I have a box w/ a dpt raid controller (DPT PM3755U2B) that I set up with raidutils from the asr-utils port back when the machine was running -STABLE. I've since migrated the machine to -CURRENT, and followed the various threads about the asr-utils not working with sadness but understanding. I'd like to be able to use occasionally the raidutils tool, and am considering buidling some sort of bootable -STABLE system. One thought would be to just use an IDE disk, but even better would be to build a bootable cd that includes the asr-utils port. Does the thought of building a bootable -STABLE cd that includes the asr-tools raise a red flag for anyone? What's the state of the art for making bootable cd's. Google shows a bunch of pages for older 4-series releases, e.g.: http://www.sfc.wide.ad.jp/~watari/FreeBSD/boot.html and I've found cdroot in the ports tree.

Some trouble with LD_PRELOAD in 4.10
I'm running into some difficulty getting applixware running on my 4.10
install. When I try to execute applix, I get the error:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk12.so.2: Undefined symbol
getresuid
Apparently getresuid is coming up undefined, so, I tried writing a
piece of code called getresuid.cc:
#include sys/types.h
int getresuid(uid_t *, uid_t *, uid_t *) { return 1; }
and I compiled it:
cc -Wall -shared -fPIC -DPIC -o getresuid.so getresuid.cc
and moved my resulting getresuid.so into /usr/local/lib.
I then tried starting applix with this startup code:
#!/bin/sh
APPLIX_HOME=/usr/local/applix
export APPLIX_HOME
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/getresuid.so
export LD_PRELOAD
exec $APPLIX_HOME/applix $@
Which did not work (I still get the same error:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk12.so.2: Undefined symbol
getresuid
I tried another approach to the startup script, which also failed in
the same way:
#!/bin/sh -
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/getresuid.so
applix $*
Anyone have any suggestions? It seems as though even though I am
defining LD_PRELOAD, it isn't loading when the program is run.
Thanks,

A list of supported hardware exists at www.freebsd.org. A link should appear on the home page to get you to this resource. While there, you should grab a copy of the FreeBSD Handbook in order to learn what to do when something does something unexpected --- not that the OS will necessarily do anything unusual, but many people don't think FreeBSD-ishLY ?, and will inevitably have questions during or after installation. (Good news, you have contacted the right place to ask them) Almost any display cards will work in textmode; to see a list of supported cards for graphics mode, visit www.xfree86.org. Personally, I have used Nvidia GE Force cards, SiS cards, and Trident cards. It occasionally takes a little time to develop new drivers, so the latest greatest cards may not yet be supported; or, they may work but need tweaking or use a Linux compatible driver instead of native support, etc. Most sound cards, including on-chip (built in) sound, will work. For modems, the rule used to be no winmodems. This basically meant buy an external modem. I have a USR v.92 external (serial) modem on one machine; this was about $70.00 last year. There is 3rd party software support for winmodems that use a Lucent chipset, I think. I may be wrong, but that's about it for modems.

Note that graphics card and monitor are supported by the X package you run - probably XFree86 for FreeBSD 4.10 - at least until you get to know enough to examine others. (I hear Xorg is being included for 5.xxx versions of FreeBSD) So, you need to go to the web page for Xfree86 to check out compatibilities for graphics.

What you probably mean, is the SNMP Agent, which is responsible for collecting the data as such, and supply those to the snmp package (in this case, net-snmp) for further treatment. AFAIK those agents are binary only, and it should be quite difficult to get them run even under linux emu.

I had a similar problem with this release running on any Dell 2550 Rack server I had. I tried three different servers with the same config, and I had kernel panics at various times. All of them had different information on the screen at each panic. I had several people tel lme they had no such problems with the same systems. I chalked it up to bad driver for the PERC3/DC raid controller. All panics seemd to happen under very high disk I/O. The machine would run fine for a few days, then just puke. I moved all the stuff over to a refurb Compaq Dual Xeon 2.8, and have had only one problem lockup in the 5 months I've been running it under increasing loads. The last lockup I had also seemed related to disk I/O. Otherwise, 5.2.1 has been a very stable production server processing over 1 million E-mail's a day incoming and hundred thousand out.

I tried KVA_PAGES=512, but it only caused another panic, this time as soon as the system started up.. syncing disks, buffers remaining... panic: pmap_invalidate_range: interrupts disabled cpuid = 0; boot() called on cpu#0 uptime: 9s Unfortunately, I'd really need the backtrace to see how to fix this panic. -- John Baldwin [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ Power Users Use the Power to Serve = http://www.FreeBSD.org ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-smp To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: wm dropping keypresses since moving to xorg (strange) -- SOLVED
thanks to some very kind help from dejan, and after a little stress testing
on my end, i believe that it is safe to declare this problem solved.
--
the fix:
--
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc
snip
// Fake keys for virtual-real modifiers mapping
key LVL3 {[ ISO_Level3_Shift ] };
key MDSW {[ Mode_switch ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { LVL3, MDSW };
key ALT {[ NoSymbol, Alt_L ] };
modifier_map Mod1 { ALT, LALT };
snip
add RALT to:
modifier_map Mod1 { ALT, LALT, RALT };
save file and restart x.
hello anholt,
copying you in case you want to feed this back up the pipe to xorg. dejan
also located this old link, which you might find of interest:

cheers,

hello all,
well, i was beginning to think that i was either hallucinating or
suffering from some sort of bizarre nerve damage... but i seem to have
made some progress in analysing this problem.
i have attached a (sorted and commented) file with output from xev. the
problem always affects only the right-alt key, despite the various
xkbmodels i select (or leave blank).
i also came across two other reports of the same behaviour:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/06/msg01410.html
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=261816
as you can see, they're from deb. they seem to have isolated the problem
to a symbols/pc file within x11, not fluxbox. a patch is provided, but
it does not apply cleanly to the version of xorg that i have installed.
i would very much appreciate any suggestions.
thank you,
epi

Subject: wm dropping keypresses since moving to xorg (strange)
hello x11, questions,
i have some reservations about sending this in, because it sounds a bit
weird, but i've jumped through all the usual self-serve hoops and i'm
about at my wits end.
since switching to xorg, when i alt+tab to a window with my wm of choice
(fluxbox-devel), the 1st keypress is always dropped in the new window,
regardless of whether that window is a *term, mail client, browser, ...
say i alt+tab to an xterm. for 'man' to appear on the command line, i
must type 'mman' or 'ccd' for 'cd'.
the window only drops that 1st key. if i alt+tab away and come back, it
will again drop only the 1st key.
here is what i know:
1) it doesn't happen if i use the mouse.
2) this problem was not apparent when i tested for it with icewm or
xfce4. 3) fluxbox used to play very nicely with xfree.
here is what i've tried:
1) google, fbsd and xorg mailing lists.
2) contacted the fluxbox developers over irc. several are running xorg
and fluxbox on linux without the problems i'm seeing.(?!)
3) rebuilt xorg then fluxbox-devel. removed .fluxbox to ensure that the
default settings would load.
4) played with xorg.conf (used old xfree.conf, built a new xorg.conf,
and changed various settings withing xorg.conf)
5) attempted to pinpoint the issue via xev, but failed miserably.
it smells like some sort of 'focus' problem to me. any suggestions would
be very much appreciated.
hoping that i'm not alone here.
thanks,
epi
p.s. a little additional info for any of you who know a bit about fluxbox
settings. the problem seems only to occur with those keybindings
(like alt+tab) which are mapped to 'NextWindow' or 'NextWindow 1' but
_not_ with 'NextTab'. naturally, the same holds true for the shift+foo
combos which translate to 'Previous'.

gdm automatic login
I'm running Gnome 2.4 on 5.2.1-RELEASE. I've configured gdm to run at boot time and would like it to automatically log me in. However, it always prompts me for a password. Scanning the archives, I saw that others suggested copying /etc/pam.d/gdm to /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin. I did this but it didn't fix anything. Here's my gdm/gdm-autologin: # # $FreeBSD: src/etc/pam.d/gdm,v 1.7 2003/04/30 21:57:54 markm Exp $ # # PAM configuration for the gdm service # # auth authrequiredpam_nologin.so no_warn #auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn try_first_pass authrequiredpam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass authrequiredpam_permit.so # account #accountrequiredpam_krb5.so account requiredpam_unix.so # session #sessionoptionalpam_ssh.so session requiredpam_permit.so What am I missing? Also, if I select Reboot or Shut down from the logout menu as root, the machine just hangs. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can provide.
