Abiword importers behaving oddly
I have Abiword compiled from the editors/abiword port, with plugins from the editors/abiword-plugins to (in addition to the default) import and export ODF and SXW. Unfortunately, the importers appear to not be working properly: they reliably loose metadata such as page orientation, and randomly loose styles (only as applied to text - additional defined styles are preserved), and page breaks. Manually formatting such as newlines and bold, italic, etc. appear to be preserved. I say 'randomly' loose these things because in some documents I'll loose all of it, whereas in some only some of these things are lost (for example, one particular document looses all but the first page bread, all styles applied to the first page, remembers all other headings, and remembers all but the first application of a style I created speciifically for this document). I have tested this and get the same symtoms on an ODF that I created, and was working, using the same set of plugins a few months ago on a Linux From Scratch system, leading me to blame the importer rather than the exporter. I am, however, not currently able to test this on any other word processor to confirm this. I am running FreeBSD 6.1-BETA4 (as reported by uname), but ports appear to be coming from the directory 6-STABLE (I'm not familiar enough with the ports system to know if this is to be expected). Has anyone experienced similar problems? Is there any know cause and workaround or solution for it? If necesary, I can provide a sample file which shows these problems. -- Lennon Victor Cook He who receives an idea from me receives without lessening, as he who lights his candle at mine receives light without darkening - Thomas Jefferson ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Crashing with HP/Compaq DL360 G3 [paging kernel developer]
Your broadcom is one of the problem chips, you can probably see the workarounds in the driver. So I would not rule out a problem with the ethernet controller. If you have money to burn on this then install an Intel pci express or 64 bit pci card and disable the onboard ethernet chip and see what happens. However what you really need to do at this time is get your seemingly-random panics to become repeatable. We start with the assumption that this is a hardware problem. PC's in general have 4 areas of hardware that cause problems: ethernet disk IO memory cpu sometimes video is a problem but you can check for this by simply not logging into the console and doing all your access over the network. What you need to do now is go into the ports directories and build some of the stress-testing utilities then run them. Start by running a disk stresser, see if that causes it to panic. Next run a network stresser, see if that causes a panic, next run a cpu stresser, etc.etc. I think you get the idea here. What we are trying to do is find a program that can cause the system to panic on demand, that is a program that really mostly does only 1 thing, either disk, network, memory, etc. Once you got that then you can start hardware substitution on the affected area (if possible) Ted - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kister [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 10:16 PM Subject: Re: Crashing with HP/Compaq DL360 G3 [paging kernel developer] On 6/25/2006 5:51 PM, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Please post a dmesg output. two of them have now crashed: http://jeremy.kister.net/tmp/unix32.dmesg http://jeremy.kister.net/tmp/unix35.dmesg Thanks for your interest -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But then this happened: $ rndc reload rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid. I've tried using rndc-confgen to create a new rndc.key, as well as rndc.conf and references in named.conf, but the problem is still there.

Use more quotes.

for LINE in `pkg_version -v`; do echo $LINE; done
If you feel adventurous, you could to try something like this:
tmpfile=/tmp/`basename $0`.$$
trap rm -f $tmpfile $tmpfile.? 0 1 2 3 5 15
pkg_version -v | while read package status text; do
echo $package $text $tmpfile.$status
done
Now you have tempfiles with package lists for the various stati, which
you can parse as you see fit.
Note that you may get better (i.e. more useful) mileage out of something
like:
pkg_version -vL=
which will show you only what needs to be updated.

It would seem as if you dropped/recreated the wrong database. For general/ongoing maintenance, Bacula will automagically clear out those terminated jobs when they reach their retention time, assuming autoprune is enabled. Occasionally, messing about with the configuration will cause Bacula to end up with jobs, files, etc that it can't prune because it no longer has configuration information on how to prune them. In that case, run Bacula's dbcheck program to clean those up. If you continue to have trouble, I recommend subscribing to the bacula-users mailing list and asking future questions there.

Basically the regular buildworld - buildkernel - installkernel - installworld process is the recommended way to update, but now and then you can do smaller fixes just going to directory and doing a make install from there (but doing that you're on your own). -Reko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Read the Makefile in /usr/src, and UPDATING in /usr/src as well. What you will want to do is track the security branch, and subscribe to the security list to get any reports of issues. If an issue arises, you can choose to cvsup and rebuild, or not.

Will someone kindly guied me for this? how to install flash, for firefox? and enable it. from someone else's kind instructions, which worked great for me: - modify your libmap.conf , following what is shown in what /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD6 - Finally edit /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh and add /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6 to MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH (near the end of the script) (colon-separated path components) - path your kernel: Please get and apply a dlsym(3) hook patch (apply in /usr/src ; then cd libexec/rtld-elf and do make rtld) http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/*rtld_dlsym_hack.diff* http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Enork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff This provides _dlsym(3) function to fix dynamic-link error can't find gtk_major_version ad-hoc-ly. $cd /usr/src $fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/*rtld_dlsym_hack.diff* http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Enork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff $patch *rtld_dlsym_hack.diff* $ cd libexec/rtld-elf $sudo make rtld $ sudo make install Also How to install java? on firefox? it would be my next step. Is there by any chance away to run flash for Konqueror? or better to delete this package if im having firefox? i dont know, dont use kde. good luck, Beto I have followed all of the instructions for patching the src (from above), and firefox still crashes with the error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/pluginwrapper/flash7.so: Undefined symbol _dlsym when a flash page is loaded. What have I missed? Hi, I'm using flash on 6-STABLE so I don't know if it works on 6.1R or not. Make sure you linux_base ports and linuxpluginwrapper are up-to-date. I'll assume your linux-flashplugin-7 is up-to-date. My version is linux-flashplugin-7.0r63. A directory listing of /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins might also help.

I haven't been following this thread, but from the Subject I would guess that there's may be problems with the client machine's ssh_config file, the target machines sshd_config file, or the command being executed. To enable X11 forwarding on the client side on recent versions of openssh, either the ``ssh -Y'' command or the ssh_config options ``ForwardX11'' and ``ForwardX11Trusted'' must be set to ``yes''. On the server side, the sshd_config file must have ``X11Forwarding'' set to ``yes'' to allow any client X11 forwarding. On older versions of openssh, the ``-X'' option was sufficient, but now ``-Y'' is necessary (although ``-X'' might work if ``X11Forwarding'' is ``yes'' in the ssh_config file).

Re: multiple links with single ln command
Unfortunately, it is impossible with the current syntax of the ln command. It does allow you to specify multiple sources as arguments though, with a final argument naming a target directory in which to create the links to the source files. For example: $ mkdir test $ mkdir test/a $ mkdir test/b $ mkdir test/c $ mkdir links $ cd ./links $ ln -s ../test/* . $ ls -l lrwxr-xr-x 1 boshea boshea 9 Jun 27 15:50 a - ../test/a lrwxr-xr-x 1 boshea boshea 9 Jun 27 15:50 b - ../test/b lrwxr-xr-x 1 boshea boshea 9 Jun 27 15:50 c - ../test/c However, this is not exactly what you are trying to do in your example; you are trying to create multiple target links with the same name in different directories. Unfortunately, because the ln command's syntax allows you to specify multiple source files, it would be ambiguous to try to make it also allow you to specify multiple targets. Hope that helps. -brian --- sara lidgey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I've read the man page for ln but can't find a way to do this.

No. Well, it depends on what you consider a single command. :) Consider that your command line uses fileglob expansion to determine the full command line *before* the command is run. The notation you're looking at is this: ln [-fhinsv] source_file ... target_dir which means the `ln` command takes a left-hand-side (the source, possibly multiple sources) and a right-hand-side (the target). But you're asking to go the other way around, with a single source being created in multiple targets. If you have ALOT of these links to make, or need to do this on an regular basis, I suggest making a small script that does what you want; perhaps something like this: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then echo Usage: altln source_file target_dir ... exit 1 fi source_file=$1; shift for target_dir in $*; do ln -svi $source_file $target_dir done ... which you can run with a command line like: # ls -F test/ a/ b/ c/ # altln ../c test/a test/b # ls -l test/*/* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Jun 27 17:28 test/a/c - ../c lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Jun 27 17:28 test/b/c - ../c # (Bear in mind that the symbolic link you create will be evaluated relative to ITS location, not your cwd when you create the link.) -- Paul Chvostek [EMAIL PROTECTED] it.canadahttp://www.it.ca/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After playing with the permissions on ulpt, I can print a test page, though half of it comes out after I manually feed my printer. After that half-printed page, anything I try to print after will get me a USB port busy; will retry in 30 seconds... message and it never prints. My system essentially does the same thing (the 30 second message that is). After changing my LogLevel and killing and resubmitting a test page, here is my error_log file. Does anyone else have any idea what I can try next? Everyone on this list has been wonderful with this thread. Thanks again. I'm not seeing any errors in the log - assuming that the section that contains the job you mention starts at 19:29:47 on Jun 27th. I see job 9 start and I see job 9 canceled but I don't see any errors in between. A completely random thing: have you tried using /dev/unltp0 instead of /dev/ulpt0? It shows up as USB Printer # (no reset) in the cups web interface on my system.

Re: named: invalid rndc key
$ rndc reload rndc: connection to remote host closed This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, or the key is invalid. Did you check that named was still listeing on port tcp 953? What does netstat -Sa|grep rndc tells you? Can you telnet localhost 953? Did you check that rndc and named are of the same version? Calling rndc with no argument should give you the version, and any dig request should give you the version of named. Do they have the same installation date?

Re: vgetty Help
Thanks fbsd, It seems that the init string command gives to this modem (which has a Conexant chipset, according to Creative's website) is incorrect. This init-string handed to the modem via mgetty.config: (again, this is for vgetty) ATS0=0Q0D3C1 I'm not familiar with Hayes compatible commands and hoping someone has some tips for me out there.
