portupgrade -P and local changes
I have a couple of ports where I am using a Makefile.local to provide some customizations for the local environment (I think they are for postfix+SASL, and apache2+the experimental modules, but I could be mistaken) where stock prebuilt packages are available. When I update the installed packages on the box, I like to use: portupgrade -Ppa The problem I have is that when these two ports get upgraded, portupgrade fetches and installs the prebuilt packages, which means I have to remember to then reinstall these two packages from the ports tree. Is there a way to tell portupgrade that it should not *fetch* prebuilt ports for these two packages? If the packages are already there I'm fine having them installed (as it means they were built using the Makefile.local values and wrapped as a package from the -p flag).

Including c files in the FreeBSD kernel
I have some incomplete doco on installing a driver, and I was wondering if someone could help me bridge the gap. The drive makefile copies a vpd.c and a lib file into the /sys/ structure. The doco then says to create a custom kernel config (e.g. MYKERNEL), put in a device line for the driver (device vpd in this case) and create a files.MYKERNEL file with the line: 'pci/vpb.c optional vpb' When I go to do a config before building, it says: 'Warning: device vpb is unknown' Is there a step missing to get the config to include the files.MYKERNEL file?

Yes, but that means I have to remember to build and package the ports

become a much easier process.

xorg/dri-6.2_1,2 upgrade problems
I'm currently running Release 5.2.1. which has just reciently been updated to the security branch. I was upgrading xorg to version 6.8.1. with portupgrade when it crashed with an Error Code 1. I traced the crash to failure to upgrade dri-5.0.2,2 to dri-6.2_1,2. I've attempted to build dri-6.2_1,2 but it keeps crashing with an Error code 2. I didn't see any notes in the ports UPDATING file regarding this issue nor did I find any similar issues in the archives. I ran cvsup to update the ports this morning and done the prtsdb -Uu to creat an index. The make in dri still has the same problem. I piped my last attempt to make dri to a file. The last lines of the output are below. Sorry about the lack of additional information. My xserver crashed so i am stuck in the command line mode.

Oooooops: make deinstall
I inadvertently invoked make deinstall from /usr/ports, thinking I was in the directory of the port I wanted to 'make deinstall make reinstall' I wasn't. Oops. I'm in the process of re-installing those ports I installed and depend on (firefox, thunderbird, etc). But ... since I control-c'ed the ill-chosen 'make deinstall', I'm sure I have left my package database in a rather un-tidy state. Is there an easy way to say, either with portupgrade or make or any other tool, the equivalent of: what ports are installed? Are they *really* installed? What do they depend on? Are those installed? Are they *really* installed? Of course I can do portupgrade -l -O, but I think my question is: does that tell me if my system is actually clean? :c) Also --- is there some way of looking at an audit trail or some way that I can see what ports/packages I had previously installed before I accidentally did make deinstall?

Re: a quick question ...
Andrei, it sounds to me like you have fvwm installed as your window manager / desktop. Install KDE or GNOME or WindowMaker or something useful, and you will have a bit more luck. As root (before you bother with startx), try this: pkg_add -r windowmaker Then, edit your .xinitrc file (in your /root directory) to contain the following line: wmaker Then, try startx. I suggest WindowMaker because it is fairly lightweight, will not take a long time to install, and will give you the base functionality of a GUI without requiring you to do a lot of work. Also, it is my window manager of choice :c) Hi, my name is Andrei and I have recently purchased FreeBSD from BSDMall and I ran into few problems.

There is nothing wrong, I think. It sounds as if you have properly installed X. But X isn't the friendliest desktop around, as you've seen. You should be able to get a full-featured desktop by issuing the following commands: cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 make all install clean login andrei (or some NON-ROOT user) startx KDE is only one of several window managers that are available, but it is probably the most widely used. It is recommended that you use a NON-ROOT user unless you specifically need root access. There is a way to configure your system to log in directly to the GUI, but I use the following in ~/.cshrc: if ($?DISPLAY) then set history = 100 set savehist = 100 else startx endif This will cause FreeBSD to issue the startx command on a per-user basis. If you get that X desktop and don't know how to get out of it, press CTRLALTBACKSPACE. This will shut down X and put you back at the command line.

bg flag for local file-systems
Hello, I'm sorry if this sounds dumb, but I'm looking for a kind of bg flag (from mount_nfs) for my local file-systems. The problem is that I frequently pull hard drives out of my headless file-server, but forget to edit fstab _before_ it. So the system won't boot until I connect a monitor, a keyboard and sort the mess out from the single-user mode. I currently use noauto flag in fstab for the file-systems, but that makes me mount them manually every time I reboot. Is there any magic I can do with fstab to solve my problem, or will I have to write a script?

TECHNICAL DETAILS portupgrade upgrades installed packages via ports or packages without necessarily having to reinstall required or dependent packages by adjust- ing the package registry database. The procedures it takes are briefly shown as below: 1. If -P is not given, jump to 4. Otherwise search the local directories listed in PKG_PATH for a newer package tarball. If found, jump to 5. 2. Fetch the latest package from a remote site using pkg_fetch(1). If the fetched package is the latest, jump to 5. If -P is given twice (i.e. -PP) and the fetched package is not the latest but at least newer than the current instal- lation, jump to 5. 3. If -P is given twice (i.e. -PP), stop the task. 4. Build the corresponding port of the given installed package. 5. Fix the dependency information of the packages that depend on the given package. 6. Back up the current installation of the given package using pkg_create(1). Note that the backup tarball will be very large if the package is a big monster like XFree86. Please ensure you have sufficient disk space (refer to the ENVIRON- MENT section to know where) to save the backup tarball. (Per- haps a new option to omit backups will be added in the future) 7. Back up the current package registration files of the given package. 8. Uninstall the given package forcibly, preserving shared libraries unless -u is specified. 9. Install the new version via ports or packages, depending on the conditions in 1, 2 and 3. 10. If the installation fails, 10.1. Restore the old installation backed up in 6. 10.2. Restore the old package registration files backed up in 7. 10.3. Revert the dependency information fixed in 5. 11. Remove the dependencies obsoleted in this upgrade. 12. Run ``portsclean -L'' to delete duplicate libraries and put away old libraries. 13. Run ``pkgdb -aF'' to fix up stale dependencies and reconstruct +REQUIRED_BY files. -- Best regards, Chris To erase a line you've written at the command prompt, use Ctrl-U. -- Dru [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On 4.x MAKEDEV is a shell script, so you should type sh MAKEDEV ...followed by your arguments. For example, 'sh MAKEDEV acd0t99'. And I think you have to be in the /dev directory for this to work, since that's where the MAKEDEV script is located. You also need to be root, or equivalent (su or sudo). MAKEDEV doesn't exist on 5.x, so if you're running 5.x that might also explain it not working.

Wine 20041201 on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
I am running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, Xorg 6.8.1 (portupgraded today), and KDE 3.3.3 (portupgraded today). My ports tree was updated yesterday. I am trying to run Wine, and I have the 20041201 port. The release notes say that it now runs under FreeBSD 5.3. While Wine's doc suggests that a kernel patch may be necessary, the discussion on this at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=73092 suggests that that is not the case and that Wine itself has been patched. Incidentally, I am only bothering with all this in order to run the Party Poker client, which is listed on winehq as running (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1567;whq_appdb=acc45b9fbc40a720bb99098126f77753) I successfully did # make and # make install on the wine port, and I have set up a link to a directory that functions as c:, the subdirectories within it, and the ~/.wine/config file as suggested in the documentation. wineserver runs, but my Windows application crashes, as follows: - wine PartyPokerSetup.exe fixme:file:get_default_drive_device auto detection of DOS devices not supported on this platform fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile device info not properly supported on this platform err:heap:HEAP_CreateSystemHeap system heap base address 0x8000 not available fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile device info not properly supported on this platform err:heap:HEAP_CreateSystemHeap system heap base address 0x8000 not available === [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/dev/ttyp3) ~/.wine/wine-c/Program Files 70 - err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 err:msvcrt:split_oflags :unsupported oflags 0x8121 fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile device info not properly supported on this platform err:heap:HEAP_CreateSystemHeap system heap base address 0x8000 not available ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had a 1750 running with FreeBSD 4.x and APM and it worked very well. How?, I added it to my kernel device apm, device pmtimer, and device amp_saver and rebuilt it and in rc.conf I added apm_enable=YES, apmd_enable=YES and I greped though default/loader.conf for anything but found nothing, after rebooting the only thing I get from dmesg is WARNING: apm_saver module requires apm enabled and when I type in apm I get apm: can't open /dev/apm: No such file or directory, type in zzz and I get apm: can't open /dev/apm: No such file or directory You need to also disable ACPI. After doing that, does it work? I want ACPI!, APM is a last ditch hack to me, the name says it all Advanced Configuration and Power Interface there is a reason they switched to it. The 440BX chipset has full support for ACPI and therefore should work with FreeBSD and is a critical problem, what do you think might happen if you disable all your fans on your computer???. Please note that I'm not trying to diss FreeBSD in anyway for it being broken as I understand the issues with the DSDT, AML, and ASL stuff, I just want it to work. APM is not a last ditch hack. Many PCs, especially from the same era as yours (98-01) have perfect APM support and lousy ACPI support due to the tools and testing just getting up to speed back then. Until recently, Linux declined to support ACPI on systems older than 2001. The chipset may support ACPI but the AML supplied by the OEM is what is the issue here.

But all you have to do is download the patched ASL (Compaq-Armada_1700_1750_3500-686EM_99.1130_A-custom.asl) and compile/override it. See the handbook or man acpi for steps, but the short of it is: Oops, diff too big to attach. -- Nate ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: perl.core files in almost every dir
# [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [ lots of core dumps ] Has anybody ever seen perl.core files in a good number of the directories in FreeBSD? I'm running 5.3. [...] Try to identify the script that triggers those coredumps, then look at the extension modules used by that script. You might also want to gather coredumps somewhere central for easier cleanup. E.g. sysctl kern.corefile=/tmp/core/%U-%N.core This makes all cores dump to /tmp/core in the form uid-process name.core HTH.
