You used: # bsdlabel /dev/da0 This installs a BSD label starting at the boot record of the disk, not in a BIOS-like partition. You can then use BSD partitions named: /dev/da0a /dev/da0b ... If you really want to use a single BIOS slice (what DOS calls a partition), that contains one or more BSD partitions defined by a label, then you should install the BSD label on `da0s1' instead of `da0': # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1024 count=64 # fdisk -B -I /dev/da0 # bsdlabel -w -B /dev/da0s1 Note the device name passed to bsdlabel.

A certain amount of slack space is occupied by partition and filesystem metadataand/or reserved for the superuser. You can't really do much to avoid wasting some space for a partition table, but that's pretty minimal.

RE: Making APC 500 Back UPS (basic) work with FreeBSD
Years ago the APC BackUPSs did come with a serial port. APC sold the BackUPS and the SmartUPS. Both had serial ports, both could be used to shut down the system. The difference was you could query the Smart UPS to findout how much life was left in the battery. Then 2 things happened, first APC realized that a lot of consumers out there didn't know or care that their UPS had a serial port that could shut down the computer, and second sales of BackUPS were cannibalizing sales of SmartUPS. So APC renamed the normal BackUPS with the serial port into the BackUPS Pro, and came out with a consumer el-cheapo line of throwaway UPS's they named the BackUPS. It is no wonder your confused because most documentation on the Internet for UPSes talks about backups, but what they are meaning is pre-apc-getting-greedy-backups upses, not post-apc-getting-greedy-backupses-that-are-named-the-same -as-their-predicessors. Fortunately, the used market is awash in UPSes that have burned out batteries. Just find the local supplier of lead-acid gell cells and make friends with him and your in like flyn. Any large city has at least 1 of them. Quite a large number of businesses out there find that it is cheaper to toss an old 600VA ups and buy a new one when the battery dies, rather than pay some tech for an hours worth of time to pull the old battery and replace it, then test the UPS to make sure it's still working. Also, a lot of techs misdiagnose UPS battery failures and don't know how to test them anyway. I've found old APC UPSes for sale very cheap and very few of them have failed. Testing is very easy. Just plug the new batteries in, and before plugging the UPS into the wall, clip a voltmeter on the battery terminals. If you get any voltage rise at all, even a half a volt, when the UPS is plugged in, the charging circuit is OK. Then plug a computer into the UPS, turn it on, and unplug the UPS from the wall and if the inverter goes on, then the inverter is working and the UPS is perfectly OK. This test does not work with old batteries because old batteries often fail in unusual ways. And the new batteries should not be at 100% of charge, which they won't be if they have been on the shelf for a month or so.

APC has made a lot of older BackUPSs that didn't have the com port that date back to the Color Computer days, you just wern't paying attention. For example the BackUPS 200VA (that unit was discontinued years ago) didn't have one, neither did the BackUPS 250 and 300 VA units from that era.

What that may mean is that there have been many bad sectors, which have been corrected using the spares, until no more spare sectors are left for replacements. That drive may well fail catastrophically, soon. _Will_ fail soon! However, every time the system tried to write to that sector in the array, the system would freeze, and then reboot, and of course it would say the file system isn't clean, etc... Since the file system is 1 TB in size, it would take 8+ hours to FSCK it. The array is only striped, and not mirrored or built with redunancy. I'm basically using the card/driver to make one large volume for a web server. OK. Well, if this data is important to you, you should give consideration to using a RAID-1, RAID-10, or RAID-5 configuration to gain redundancy. RAID0-1 is the way to go - disks are cheap now. Fry's was selling 300GB UDMA Seagates yesterday for $69.00 with rebates. You can find Promise and Highpoint UDMA RAID 100 cards on Ebay for $15 or so. I have a few questions: 1) Is this a known bug? I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 (for software compatibility No it is not a bug. issues at the moment, I will upgrade at some point in the future) Normally, the OS will only kill the affected processes using that sector, No, Chuck, the OS has no knowledge of bad sectors on the disk. All UNIXes out there assume perfect storage media, and perfect RAM. It is the hardware's job to handle error correction or containment. All the OS knows in a disk error is that it is pulling data off the disk and doing something with it. If the data that's pulled off is corrupted and happens to be a device driver or some such, or other part of the kernel (perhaps it was swapped out) then the system will crash. Otherwise the system won't know the difference if the area is user data. If it's a program then the results will be the same as if the program had a bug in it, it will unexpectedly terminate. People have lost databases due to corruption by not knowing about disk failures like this. but without knowing where it is, perhaps it's affecting some important file like the kernel itself, /bin/sh...? 2) How can I trap the errors and eliminate the re-boot issue? Shut down the system. Replace the failing hard drive. Use dd to make an exact copy onto the new drive on some other system. and put the new drive back into the array. Note that the replacement drive must be an exact match for this to work, otherwise you will have to backup your data and rebuild the array. Speaking of which, do you have known-good backups available? 3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system into thinking the file system is clean? If you update to 5.x or later, you can use background FSCK rather than having to wait for the FSCK to complete the way it does under 4.x. 4) Any suggestions on how to fix this? Also, if you update to 5.x, you can run the smartmon tools, which will let you do a drive self-test using SMART, this will give much better information about what is going on with the drive, and also give an estimate of its remaining lifespan. How old are the drives, if you know? A lot of the drive manufacturers these days are offering plenty generous warranties, it is likely his disk is still under warranty.

When I go to the jdk15 directory and do 'make' the compilation starts and runs for an hour or two and then grinds to a halt with the following error message; -- gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg' gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg' Compiling ../generated/adfiles/ad_i486.cpp virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory gmake[3]: *** [ad_i486.o] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg' gmake[2]: *** [the_vm] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp/bsd_i486_compiler2/jvmg' gmake[1]: *** [jvmg] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/control/build/bsd-i586/hotspot-i586/tmp' gmake: *** [jvmg] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15. -- The PC I'm using has a 2.3GHz Pentium, with 128MB memory and 70GB free disk space running FreeBSD-6.1PRERELEASE. Interestingly, when I run 'make' and do 'top' the compilation process steadily grows to 128MB in size and then stays at that size until it grinds to a halt. I was under the impression that FreeBSD imposed a default maximum process size of 512MB, maybe that's changed or I was wrong (anyone ??). After Googling, I found that the way to increase the maximum process size was to add the following entries to /boot/loader.conf and reboot; root$ more /boot/loader.conf kern.maxdsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.dfldsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.maxssiz=134217728 # 128MB I did this and tried compiling jdk15 again but it made no difference. So I had the idea that another way to increase the amount of virtual memory available is to increase the amount of swap memory available (correct ??) which I did (to 1GB) as described in the Handbook here (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html). This I did, and when I do 'top' it shows up as available swap memory but when I tried compiling jdk15 again it also made no difference. I've also checked my resource limits (ulimit) but they look reasonable to me; root$ ulimit -SHacdflmnpstuv core file size(blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files(-n) 1735 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size(kbytes, -s) 65536 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes(-u) 867 virtual memory(kbytes, -v) unlimited For info, I also have java/linux-sun-jdk14 installed with linprocfs mounted (to bootstrap the jdk15 installation) but I don't think this is related to my problem. I'm at a bit of a loss what to do next. Do I need to buy some more memory for my PC (just to compile jdk15) or is there anything else I can try or change in FreeBSD which may help me ? Any help is much appreciated. Ken ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Free BSD on Macintosh OS 10.3.9 ?
Elisabet, I don't think you need the BSD base system to run Adobe Indesign system. But, if you do then you have to do it this way: 1) backup all your data files from your iBook. Unplug your ethernet connection so you have no network connection. 2) insert disk #1 of the Panther OS and boot with the C key to boot off the CD 3) When the option comes up asking if you want to install OSX, select the option to completely erase the existing disk and reinitialize it. 4) Install Panther. 5) Before plugging in the ethernet cable, boot from the hard disk of the iBook, insert disk #1, and go to the additional installers and run the BSD system installer. 6) Plug in ethernet cable and run Software Update.

If you need the BSD base system you will need an up-to-date OS X CD. But I've found it won't work with a patched system, so you will at best have to reinstall off a 10.3 CD. (or upgrade to 10.4) I don't think that is true. I just installed an OSX Panther system on a new hard disk in my G3 and it works fine. But you must install the BSD base system first, before patching anything, right after installing osX. And you must install osx on a clean disk.

APC has made a lot of older BackUPSs that didn't have the com port that date back to the Color Computer days, you just wern't paying attention. For example the BackUPS 200VA (that unit was discontinued years ago) didn't have one, neither did the BackUPS 250 and 300 VA units from that era. (all of those are discontinued) However the models that didn't have the com port back in the olden days, were all very low, low VA units, under 350VA. It wasn't until modern times that APC decided to screw it all up. Ted Bill Gates had come out with: you can't do multi-user, multitasking with an 8 bit micro-processor. Here was this inexpensive computer from Radio Shack, already on the market, that would if you used OS9, also available from Radio Shack. About that time, I decided that Bill Gates aught to pay more attention to what was going on. At that time, my concern with, and about, power backup units was somewhere between none and none. I did know what one was, what it did, and why it was desirable to have one. I just didn't really have a need for one for a long time. After all, if you shutoff the PC, who cared if the power went down - as long as you shut down before that happened. As to your last statement, I'm wondering if you were saying, in a different way: they took a nice, simple piece of equipment, that did its job well, and added capabilities to it, that in order to utilize them, required more capabilities added to the units they were supplying power backup to.

Ports/packages confusion
Continuing to wallow in my pool of port upgrade sorrows, I'm confused on a few basic aspects of ports/packages maintenance. Looked around, but couldn't find much clarity (may be haven't found the right docs yet). Will someone please point me to an explanation for why the packages in my install sets (that I chose at the time of installation of my FreeBSD 6.0 Release), for example the X11R6 packages, do not show up in the installed packages list (pkg_info or pkg_version)? What will happen to the installed Xorg set if I try to upgrade to a newer Xorg rel through the ports/packages system? May be this would explain to me how (while trying to upgrade my installed ports including gnome 2.10-2,12 upgrade) I managed to mess up my working gnome 2.10 installation (done from the ISO disk images at FreeBSD install time) so badly that I'm finding it impossible to recover from that. The mysteries of pkgdb -F also needs way more effort than I have been able to give so far. It shows stale dependnecies right after portsnap fetch/extract even before pkg_info shows any packages installed. Why?! Where can I read a precise definition of 'stale dependency' as understood by the ports management programs? At the moment, portupgrade, portmanager, gnome_upgrade.sh (yes, I finally found that one too), nothing seems to be able to get gnome back up without throwing me right back into pkgdb -F with a whole bundle of stale dependencies that I do not know how to resolve manually staring at me. Is reinstalling FreeBSD + X + gnome + other packages from the Nov 2005 released ISO disk images my best bet to get back to a working system like I had before I attempted to upgrade my ports to the latest versions? I have not been hacking unix for several years recently, but was not exactly a complete newbie once upon a time. Thanks for any explanation or pointer.

Re: Multiple DNS
Le 19 févr. 06 à 08:46, Robert Slade a écrit : Hi, I am looking for some advice. I have a network which is based on a number of servers running FreeBsd 6.0 serving Win XP work stations. (yes I know but..) The network is large enough to use DHCP and DNS for the internal network, I have setup a DHCP server with a Dynamic DNS (Bind 9) on one of the servers. That server is handling the LDAP side of the domain. Is your DNS server busy resolving internal requests or external ones ? Mostly external from what I can ascertain, it looks like the mail server (Qmail) doing lookups. There appears to be a fair bit of DNS Traffic which leads to a secondary DNS being required to take some of the load as DNS lookup are slow. The question I have is should I just setup a cashing DNS on another server using the primary as a forwarder or even several servers eg the mail server and the secondary LDAP server, or should I setup a proper secondary DNS using my ISP as a forwarder with dynamic updates from the primary. You should not forward anything to your ISP. This is probably the main reason for your DNS beeing slow. You should make shure you have well defined your network in your conf (so that you don't resolve queries for outside users...)- I would not advise you to forward any queries to your ISP as this will disable the capacity for your own server to build It's own resolver database and forward all the queries to the ISP (resulting in slow answers)! I've now taken out the forwarders. Normaly you should configure the master and the slave to be authoritative for your internal domains. And configure the master and the slave to resolve ALL the Internet domains for your internal network and none for outside domains. That is how I have setup the master, it only answer's queries from the internal network. DNS is very tightly related to network... And we don't have any clue for the topology of your Net. SHORT ANSWER : DON'T FORWARD -- BUILD YOUR OWN DATABASE!! Sorry if this is a bit vague, but I have no experience in this area. Rob Thanks for the info, it has helped me.

Well, if this data is important to you, you should give consideration to using a RAID-1, RAID-10, or RAID-5 configuration to gain redundancy. Yes, and when I re-build it with will be RAID-5 rather than just RAID-0 I have a few questions: 1) Is this a known bug? I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 (for software compatibility . issues at the moment, I will upgrade at some point in the future) Normally, the OS will only kill the affected processes using that sector, but without knowing where it is, perhaps it's affecting some important file like the kernel itself, /bin/sh...? Actually the only thing that was on the array was a DB, so I think the failure may have been causing MySQL to go nuts, and cascading up. 2) How can I trap the errors and eliminate the re-boot issue? Shut down the system. Replace the failing hard drive. Use dd to make an exact copy onto the new drive on some other system. and put the new drive back into the array. Note that the replacement drive must be an exact match for this to work, otherwise you will have to backup your data and rebuild the array. Speaking of which, do you have known-good backups available? Of course I have backups!! Never work without them. I'm going to re-build with RAID-5 this time. 3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system into thinking the file system is clean? If you update to 5.x or later, you can use background FSCK rather than having to wait for the FSCK to complete the way it does under 4.x. I wasn't aware 5.x could do this. My next question is how are my existing apps going to be affected by upgrading to 5.x? I have some builds of packages that were done by a company that is no longer in operation. I haven't fully figured out how they built the software yet so I can't re-build under 5.X yet. If I try to put the elf binaries and the other builds from 4.X on 5.X are they going to run ok or do I just need to give it a try? Would you suggest going all the way to 6.x or sticking with the 5.x chain? 4) Any suggestions on how to fix this? Also, if you update to 5.x, you can run the smartmon tools, which will let you do a drive self-test using SMART, this will give much better information about what is going on with the drive, and also give an estimate of its remaining lifespan. Yes, this would help a lot!!! How old are the drives, if you know? They're less than 2 years old, and still under warranty. This is the second drive to fail and it's driving me nuts. They're Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y250P0 250 GB PATA drives... Never had a problem with that particular drive until this batch. Can anyone suggest some good 250GB PATA drives for me to use?

problem regarding setting DISPLAY env variable and hostname

Re: Qpopper v4.0.8
As you said you have just upgraded, did you use the port to upgrade? If you did it will use the configuration setting to build qpopper. Otherwise, if you downloaded qpopper's source and built it yourself, you need to check the configuration settings. You should verify qpopper is built and executable: ls -l /usr/local/libexec/qpopper If you are using tcp wrappers disable them to test qpopper by uncommenting the line: #ALL : ALL : allow in /etc/hosts.allow as a last check, it never hurts to reboot the box, so you are sure there are no issues from old processes or sockets. If you are still having problems connecting check the log add the option: -t [some log file location and file name] such as -t /var/log/qpopper.log Then you can see what the problems are. Hope this helps. -Derek At 12:51 PM 2/22/2006, michaela wrote: I was running an older version of Qpopper on my mailserver and had NO problems whatsoever. Everything was going great.

Can't seem to boot from 6.0-RELEASE
I'm rather new to FreeBSD, and have been wanting to try it out. However, I am unable to boot from either the i386 6.0-RELEASE bootonly or the i386 6.0-RELEASE disc 1 CD. I'm running an Athlon 64 3000+ on a WinFast 755FXK8AA motherboard (Socket 939, SiS 755 North Bridge, SiS 964 South Bridge). The boot CD dies right after ago0: figures out my SiS 755 with: panic: pmap_mapdev: Couldn't alloc kernel virtual memory. Having searched for my problem before posting, I found that another individual has had a similar problem to mine: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20060122170123.I76421 I followed his initiative and tried the boot option that didn't use ACPI. No dice. I also checked the MD5 of both CD's and they checked out fine. Finally, I tried to boot the amd64 version of FreeBSD, and this time it booted just fine and I got to an installation screen. However, given the fact that there are no nvidia drivers for the 64 bit version, and certain programs being unavalable for amd64, I'd really just prefer to use the i386 version instead. Thanks in advance for your help. -Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: problem regarding setting DISPLAY env variable and hostname

I have my XDISPLAY env variable set using (in Bash): DISPLAY=xenon:0.0 export DISPLAY xenon is the name of the machine I think part of the problem is the setting of the hostname. This laptop runs off of DHCP and I am not really sure about what I should do for setting the hostname. The manual says to set HOSTNAME= in rc.conf if using DHCP, but then I get the amnesiac message upon boot. Sendmail doesn't like that either and hangs during the boot process. So I just set it arbitrarily to xenon Note that the capitalization of rc.conf variables is *significant*. The real rc.conf variable that you have to set to avoid the Amnesiac name is: hostname=xenon I have read manual pages, searched the archives, but I am really confused about all of this. Thank you for any help. All this can be resolved by using `/etc/hosts'. Just add your hostname there and point it to the 127.0.0.1 address. Then all programs should be able to resolve it. Thanks Giorgios, I think that I have the hostname problem resolved. rc.conf has hostname=xenon and /etc/hosts has: 127.0.0.1 localhost xenon So now Xorg does not give errors on startup or shutdown like the bad display name xenon:0 in remove commandor bad display name xenon:0 in list command But when not setting the DISPLAY variable explicitely anywhere I still get the error: out of display lists upon starting the program I want from xterm But then setting DISPLAY=xenon:0.0 export DISPLAY and then executing the program then gives the error: Can't open display: xenon:0.0 so I guess I am back to square one.

FreeBSD 6.X Updating Source
I just installed a server with FreeBSD 6.0. Everything went perfect. Got it up and running and wanted to download the newest source prior to installing a lot of ports and software. Used cvsup with stable-supfile. Went throught the normal update procedure and when it was done it says that I am running FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0. I'm using the RELENG_6 tag, and it was to my understanding that this only followed 6-stable. Is a prerelease considered stable, or am I doing something wrong?

Interestingly, when I run 'make' and do 'top' the compilation process steadily grows to 128MB in size and then stays at that size until it grinds to a halt. I was under the impression that FreeBSD imposed a default maximum process size of 512MB, maybe that's changed or I was wrong (anyone ??). After Googling, I found that the way to increase the maximum process size was to add the following entries to /boot/loader.conf and reboot; root$ more /boot/loader.conf kern.maxdsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.dfldsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.maxssiz=134217728 # 128MB I did this and tried compiling jdk15 again but it made no difference. So I had the idea that another way to increase the amount of virtual memory available is to increase the amount of swap memory available (correct ??) which I did (to 1GB) as described in the Handbook here ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html ). This I did, and when I do 'top' it shows up as available swap memory but when I tried compiling jdk15 again it also made no difference. I've also checked my resource limits (ulimit) but they look reasonable to me; root$ ulimit -SHacdflmnpstuv core file size(blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files(-n) 1735 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size(kbytes, -s) 65536 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes(-u) 867 virtual memory(kbytes, -v) unlimited For info, I also have java/linux-sun-jdk14 installed with linprocfs mounted (to bootstrap the jdk15 installation) but I don't think this is related to my problem. I'm at a bit of a loss what to do next. Do I need to buy some more memory for my PC (just to compile jdk15) or is there anything else I can try or change in FreeBSD which may help me ? Any help is much appreciated. Ken My video card has more memory than your system does. Do you have any swap space mounted/available? /etc/fstab will tell you if you have a swap partition. If you do (and it is big) then I am not sure what the issue is, but is does sound like the system is short on memory. If you have no swap space partitioned, there is a way to make a swapfile, but I have never done it myself. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

sendmail hangs with errors after setting hostname

Summary: (not only under FreeBSD): VoIP software is *really* bad. Asterisk may work if you can understand the arcane documentation, but it's overkill for a simple VoIP phone solution.

For example: to call me, you might enter $ linphonec sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This will work. But I'd then expect the program to wait until termination or until I hit ^C; instead, it returns with a prompt. Hitting ^C stops the program without terminating the call. To terminate the call, you need to enter the entire text terminate. Enter ^D to exit the program and it loops. That's when you need the ^C.

Re: sendmail hangs with errors after setting hostname
I would suggest setting the hostname as a different address from localhost. There are multiple instances of sendmail that run, as your rc.conf file has them enabled. You can use a private non-routable IP for the hostname.

Newbie Alert : pkg_add and packages Q (do not want to compile)
Hi, I've googled. I've read the handbook, I've read Absolute BSD and still I can't understand FreeBSD Ports/Packages esp when it comes to upgrading via packages. I'm from a Linux (gentoo linux) background so I'm not a rough diamond. Problem statement.

How do I install it? $pkg_delete xterm-203 pkg_delete: package 'xterm-203' is required by these other packages xorg-clients-6.8.2 So.. That can't be done. What can I do to upgrade my packages?

Hi Chris, You can submit a bug report for one of the FreeBSD components in one of two ways: 1. Through email. You must run the send-pr(1) or the sendbug(1) utility on a FreeBSD system that has a working email setup. 2. To post a bug through the web interface, point your favorite browser at the address: http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.hmtl Before submitting a bug report, please make sure you read the bug reporting guidelines. These guidelines, in the form of a short article titled ``Writing FreeBSD Problem Reports'', can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/index.html Since the problem you describe seems to be related to ports, please make sure you select `ports' as the `Category' of the bug report. - Giorgos Thanks for the help. It turns out it was not a bug after I tried to repeat the problem on another box. I then deleted the directories for said ports in the port tree and untarred fresh tarballs from ports, and all was well. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Automatically changing modes on the DVD writer for K3b

do pkg_info look in the output for xterm. it will contain its complete name if its name in the list output is xterm-203 then pkg_delete xterm-203 this will remove it then pkg_add -rv xterm should fetch the package from the ports collection and install it.

some odd reason, pkg_add doesn't add the suffix)
Hmm, haven't read that one. IIRC, pkg_add can take a complete
URI for a package, e.g. :
`pkg_add ftp://ftp.tw.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/foo/bar/pkg.tbz`
So, that's one possible workaround. Another would be to fetch
the package via FTP and add it directly.
$pkg_add -vr x11/xterm-206_1
pkg_add: package 'xterm-206_1' or its older version already installed
So.. How do I install it?
$pkg_delete xterm-203
pkg_delete: package 'xterm-203' is required by these other packages
xorg-clients-6.8.2
So.. That can't be done. What can I do to upgrade my packages?
As mentioned by one other poster, -f will force the deinstall.
I've even tried sysinstall but that only lists xterm-203 as the package
to install. (I suspect this is because its packagesite is
packages-6-release)
Yes. IIRC, you can change RELEASE_NAME with sysinstall and
this would likely cause sysinstall to give you a different list of
packages.
Another workaround, that.
I think that PACKAGESITE could also be redefined
either in your {login} environment, or in /etc/make.conf, but
don't hold me to that, because I'm not RTFMing at the moment ;-)
$export | grep -i pack
declare -x
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.tw.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/;
Isn't there a latest dir at ftp.tw.freebsd.org ?
In gentoo, it's a simple emerge xterm and all will be done
automatically. (Granted, this is compile from source and not from binary
packages, which I know can do cd /usr/ports/x11/xterm make install
clean, but since FreeBSD has binary packages, I rather use that)
I'd look into installing and using one of the more advanced
package management tools; perhaps portupgrade. portupgrade
can be told to utilize binary packages instead of building from
source, and would be pretty automagic, a la emerge in Gentoo,
I suspect (though I've not used Gentoo and therefore can't say
for certain).
It's probable that other package management tools can do this,
also. It might be worth mentioning that Colin Percival is working
rather hard on various means of doing binary upgrades for both
the system (FreeBSDUpdate, IIRC) and the Ports Tree (PortSnap?)
Thanks
You're welcome; HTH.

RE: Newbie Alert : pkg_add and packages Q (do not want to compile)

Another poster said to use -f (force) but I don't like that. This usually means there are underlying deps which can cause errors. eg: changed libraries libXXX.so.Y then pkg_add -rv xterm should fetch the package from the ports collection and install it. There is a better explanation of the ports collection in the install guide at www.a1poweruser.com I read that already. That's how I knew to use the _exact_name with the version suffix. And besides, it only mentions how to add a new package and not upgrade an existing package. The problem with the deps is just un-nerving. I just want to update to the latest *binary* package and not do a source compile. These are just small packages, what happens when I want to upgrade to the latest gnome version? I rather get packages than compile. Thanks -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

I've read the handbook, I've read Absolute BSD and still $pkg_add -vr x11/xterm-206_1 pkg_add: package 'xterm-206_1' or its older version already installed It's saying you have to delete xterm-203 or you can't install the new one. So.. How do I install it? $pkg_delete xterm-203 pkg_delete: package 'xterm-203' is required by these other packages xorg-clients-6.8.2 pkg_delete -f xterm-203 cd /usr/ports/x11/xterm make install what about the dependency then? Ignore it? What if there are files needed by xorg-clients? eg: libXX.so.Y and which is not present in the new xterm? Since you want to replace it with a newer version, why are you worried about the dependencies. The newer version will take care of that. Of course, if you delete xterm and don't replace it, then you will have to handle the dependencies. What you are trying to do is update using downloaded packages and that is going to work for you. You need to upgrade those packages using the ports system. IS or is not? Is or is not what? I don't understand what you're asking here. You need to use more than a 4 word question, of which 2 of the words are the same. It tends to be confusing. Again, I don't want to compile it. I want the binary package. It's available on the mirrors. No It's not. The port is available on the mirrors. So compile it, or leave the old one in place. You really need to look at the Handbook. That's why it was written. I did. As stated in the initial portion of the email. I'm not only reading the handbook, I'm reading a newly bought book in addition to also reading stuffs on the internet. I'm proficient with the CLI, and being a long time Linux person, I'm sad to say that FreeBSD ports/packages is really confusing to me. Use Windows instead. All that takes is money. Available packages are not as up to date as the ports system is. Again, the package _is_ available and I've verified it. Thanks I'm sorry. You've verified the port was available. The package is not. I just checked. At this point, I'm going to close my ears eyes to you. You've been given advice by me and others that you find to not up to your standards, even though it will give you the product you want. Later you can figure out for yourself, just what happens if you don't make the upgrade to xterm-206. Have fun.
