Problems with OpenOffice 2.3.1 on FreeBSD

2008-01-01 Thread O. Hartmann
I use OpenOffice 2.3.1 on several hardwareplatforms running FreeBSD 
7.0-PRE/AMD64 and since I upgraded OpenOffice from OO 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 I 
have massive problems, rendering OO unusuable! Before doing a PR I would 
like to aks whethere there is a solution out.
Whenever I try to save a document in OO writer, OO gets stuck and I have 
to kill it. The document gets saved, but I never can load it again 
without rendering OO unusuable. Opening M$ Word docs or OO docs doesn't 
matter.
This breakage is identical on all of my systems I run OO 2.3.1 on, they 
all have in common running FreeBSD 7.0-PRE, being 64 Bit, having 
diablo-1.5-JDK installed. This behaviour even occurs on a freshly 
installed box.


Any ideas? This is a serious situation to me, due to the need of a 
properly working OO :-(


Regards,
Oliver

Re: Imap authentication

 I have been using pop to download email messages. I'd like to switch to
 imap.

 My mail server is running FreeBSD 5.3

 The imap executable is in /usr/local/libexec and inetd.conf is setup
 right. I can telnet to port 143 I am talking to the imapd daemon.

 However, I can't seem to get logged in. It seems to not like the
 username and password I provide. I am providing the username and
 password that will work to login interactively to the server.

 I assume there is a different authentication method besides the standard
 password file, but as yet I haven't been able to find what that might
 be.

 Clearly I am missing something here. Any pointers to how to set up imap
 accounts on the mail server would be appreciated.

It depends on the particular IMAP server you are using.  Most of them
will (by default) authenticate against the system password file.

The best hints are probably to be found in the log file, but you might
need to configure the daemon for greater verbosity first.  With dovecot,
I used verbose_ssl = yes to do so.

Are you certain you used NFSv4?  It's more likely you used NFSv3 or v2.

Resolution too high with 7-RC1, nVidia, xorg

2008-01-01 Thread Xn Nooby
I am having trouble getting X to use a screen resolution that is less
than the maximum.  When I edit my xorg.conf to add a DefaultDepth and
a Mode of 1024x768, it still comes up at 1280x1024.  I did not
create any modeline entries yet, since I'm not sure how to do that.
My GUI (icewm) works, but browsing the web creates enormous eye-strain
from the high-resolution letters.

My hardware is a Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop with an nVidia Card. It
comes with SATA CD's, so I have to install with FreeBSD 7-RC1.

I started by running xorg -configure, and used the xorg.conf that it
generated.  I looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and it had many entries
from probing my hardware.  It appears there is some kind of dynamic
configuration going on, but I know its using the xorg.conf, because it
got an error when I changed the adapter entry from nv to vga.

I actually had a similar problem on Ubuntu, and they had some
xorg-reconfigure program that would let you use less than maximum
values.  I was wondering if FreeBSD had something similar.

The DefaultDepth 24 and Modes 1024x786 entries are from the
online FreeBSD Handbook, I believe I followed the Handbook
instructions properly.

Am I missing something obvious?  From using Linux, I was expecting the
Modes values to work.

display 1440x900 rather than 1280x1024. And this same configuration is
working fine for both FreeBSD 7.0-BETA4 (amd64), and Ubuntu 7.10 (amd64).

Re: Resolution too high with 7-RC1, nVidia, xorg

2008-01-01 Thread Nash Nipples
Dear Xn Nooby,

Im not sure if there is such a tool to edit xorg.conf file and limit the 
maximum resolution.
In gnome desktop there is a graphical tool to switch resolution (System - 
Preferences - Screen Resolution)

To make things obvious you will have to take a look at your xorg.conf file
Please do change  dir to its parent folder (cd /etx/X11/) and run 
cat xorg.conf | tr -s \n | grep -v #
that should make your xorg.conf look simple and clear. 

There is a sample output below. It is a working xorg.conf
Take a look at the section Screen It has 
Identifier, Device, Monitor, DefaultDepth options
and 3 Subsections named Display for each depth
where the screen resolution modes are listed:
1024 x 7 6 8 -
800 x 600
640x480

Hint:
One of the following key sequence switches modes on a running server.
CTRL+ALT+KP_- or CTRL+ALT+KP_+ 
KP_-, KP_+ (those are keypad minus or keypad plus, or gray -/+)

Sincerely,

Nash

When I create a PreferredMode value, the X-Server hangs when I run
startx.  I cannot end X with ctrl-alt-backspace, but I can reboot with
ctrl-alt-del.  I am using xorg 7.3 (installed via 'pkg_add -r xorg'),
and this was apparently a known bug.  I'm not sure if it is supposed
to be fixed in now, the bug was from September:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12476

I also tried TargetRefresh with values of 60 and 75, but it did not
seem to do anything. When you use TargetRefresh, is that with the
Horizontal and Vertical refresh values - or does it replace them?

Nagios + 6.3-RELEASE == Hung Process

2008-01-01 Thread Marc G. Fournier
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


G'day ...

  Yesterday, I setup nagios to do some system monitoring ... installed the 
latest version from ports into a jail, so that I could easily move it around 
between machines as I upgrade, without losing data ... after about 30 minutes 
running, I get a second nagios process running (fork?) that takes up ch CPU 
time as is available, and just hangs there until I kill -9 it ...

Figuring that it might be a problem with the jail (trying to access somethign 
that isn't available to the process in a jail), I moved it to the physical 
server level ... but, again, after ~30 minutes, its doing the same thing:

# ps aux | grep nagios
nagios  32065 73.2  0.1 10948  3516  ??  R11:15AM   7:40.77 
/usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
nagios  82120  0.0  0.1 10948  3580  ??  Ss   10:47AM   0:01.18 
/usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

So, definitely not jail related ...

I've tried to do a 'truss -p 32065', it just hangs.

And: ktrace -f /tmp/output -p 32065 ... produces nothing:

# kdump -f /tmp/output
 32065 nagios   PSIG  SIGKILL SIG_DFL

Once I kill -9 the process, a bunch of 'check_ping' processes start up and then 
things go back to normal ...

My last kernel / world build on that box is: Mon Nov 12 06:43:30 AST 2007

After searching the 'Net a bit, came across this thread:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Bmode%5D=1tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=7694

That recommends modifying libmap.conf with:

[/usr/local/bin/nagios]
libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2
libpthread.so libthr.so

This seems to fix the problem on the physical server, and am currently testing 
it in the jail itself to make sure it fixes it there too ...

Should this be something that is more prominently documented somewhere?  Maybe 
in the port itself?  azureus has similar problems that are fixed with entries 
in libmap.conf, so its not just a nagios issue ...

abcde and uppercase filenames

2008-01-01 Thread Dave

   Hello,
   Happy New Year. I'm running abcde 2.3.3 port on FreeBSD 6.x. I'm 
wanting to convert all uppercase paths/filenames in my output from first 
character uppercase or whatever character is uppercase, to all lowercase. I 
first uncommented the mungegenre function in /usr/local/etc/abcde.conf, that 
didn't do it. I then replaced the tr call with A-Z a-z This gave me the 
same results, first letter of each word or filename path uppercase. If 
anyone has a fix i'd like to hear about it.

Thanks.
Dave.

Xn Here is mine, which still wont go in to 1024x768 mode:

You've 3 options:

Xn SubSection Display
Xn Viewport   0 0
Xn Depth 24
Xn Modes 1024x768 800x600


1. How about appending 1280x1024 to the above line. AFAIK, these modes
are listed in the order of preference. See, if it works.

2. Another thing you can try, is to change the VertRefresh, and
HorizRefresh limits of your monitor, change them in such a way, so
that X server won't be able to display 1280x1024 mode, resulting in
switch to 1024x768 mode. Since 1280x1024 requires a lower refresh rate
as compared to 1024x768, so .e.g. if 1280x1024 works on 60 Hz
(vertical refresh rate), and 1024x768 is available in 60 Hz, 75 Hz, 85
Hz, then you can increase lower limit of VertRefresh, to something
greater than 60.

3. Another thing you can try is mode setting, switch to 1024x768 using
xrandr. And then use xvidtune -show to generate modeline,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $  xrandr -s 1024x768

Now, in 1024x768 mode, enter this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ xvidtune -show
1024x768136.75   1024 1536 1688 1936768  903  909  942 -hsync +vsync

NOTE: Don't use above modeline, thats from 1440x900 resolution, except
that I changed 1440, 900 to 1024, 768 respectively :) .

sendmail is broken, how do I fix

2008-01-01 Thread Andrew Falanga
Hello,

I'm not sure what I did.  I've been following instructions (really!) and after 
following the instructions from here: 
http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html

to setup SSL/TLS authentication for mail relaying, my sendmail installation 
always gives me this very frustrating messages in /var/log/maillog:

Jan  1 11:24:27 whitbap sm-mta[3706]: starting daemon (8.13.8):

Jan  1 11:24:42 whitbap sm-mta[3706]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: 
daemon MTA: cannot bind: Address already in use

Try as I have, I cannot isolate what is causing this.  When I completely kill 
all sendmail processes (as verified by sockstat  and ps -aux) there is 
*nothing* using port 25.  I do not understand what is going on.

While following the instructions for smtp authentication in: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html

I perhaps made one of my blunders.  These instructions say to alter the 
file freebsd.mc rather than hostname.mc.  It does say that some admin's 
like to use hostname.mc, but because I didn't know much about how FreeBSD 
does the install, I saw freebsd.mc and added the three lines listed in bullet 
item 6 on that web page.  Later, I saw that I did have the file hostname.mc 
and while researching a resolution to this problem learned that FreeBSD makes 
the hostname.mc file when doing a make all if memory serves.

Anyway, I then removed those three lines from freebsd.mc and pasted them into 
hostname.mc.  Regardless, when I had those three lines in freebsd.mc 
everything worked.  I made the changes for SSL/TLS as Josh Tolbert lays out 
in his web site (see above link) and when I restarted sendmail, that's when 
my troubles began.  I don't understand what it is that I did and how it made 
it so that sendmail now thinks something else is using the socket/address.

I'm desperate for a solution.  Thanks for any help.

Re: Resolution too high with 7-RC1, nVidia, xorg

2008-01-01 Thread Xn Nooby
I was able to temporarily change the resolution using the xrandr -s
1024x768 command - but xvidtune -show still displayed a modeline
that begins with 1280x1024.  I copied that modeline to my xorg.conf,
and manually changed the resolution, but I did not fool it.  It was
great to see the screen at 1024x768, so I know it can do it.

I added a 1280x1024 mode to my xorg.conf display list, and it not
change the behavior.

I was able to get 1280x960 by increasing the lower range for
VertRefresh to 70, and was able to get 800x600 by increasing it to 75.
I then played around with various other VertRefresh values, but had no
luck.  I also tried the Horizontal values, but the did not help.  I'm
using a flat-panel screen, so I don't think I can hurt it. I hope!

xrandr worked, though my IceWM menubar fell off my screen. xvidtune
could probaly fix that, if I could get the ModeLine command to have an
effect.

 You've 3 options:

 Xn SubSection Display
 Xn Viewport   0 0
 Xn Depth 24
 Xn Modes 1024x768 800x600


 1. How about appending 1280x1024 to the above line. AFAIK, these modes
 are listed in the order of preference. See, if it works.

 2. Another thing you can try, is to change the VertRefresh, and
 HorizRefresh limits of your monitor, change them in such a way, so
 that X server won't be able to display 1280x1024 mode, resulting in
 switch to 1024x768 mode. Since 1280x1024 requires a lower refresh rate
 as compared to 1024x768, so .e.g. if 1280x1024 works on 60 Hz
 (vertical refresh rate), and 1024x768 is available in 60 Hz, 75 Hz, 85
 Hz, then you can increase lower limit of VertRefresh, to something
 greater than 60.

 3. Another thing you can try is mode setting, switch to 1024x768 using
 xrandr. And then use xvidtune -show to generate modeline,

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $  xrandr -s 1024x768

 Now, in 1024x768 mode, enter this:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ xvidtune -show
 1024x768136.75   1024 1536 1688 1936768  903  909  942 -hsync +vsync

 NOTE: Don't use above modeline, thats from 1440x900 resolution, except
 that I changed 1440, 900 to 1024, 768 respectively :) .

 Now copy above modeline, and add to the Monitor section of your
 xorg.conf as show below:

Re: Extremely slow authentication via SSH on FreeBSD 6.0

2008-01-01 Thread Forrest Aldrich

First, thank you to others who posted about this issue.

I altered /etc/ssh/sshd_config for UseDNS no, and noticed I get the 
prompt right away, however it still takes about 15 seconds after 
authentication to get a shell prompt. 

This is FreeBSD version:  FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE #7: Sat Dec 22 11:12:15 
EST 2007


I noticed this behavior after the last system build and install.  Prior 
to that, I didn't see problems like this.


I don't see this problem with httpd (apache) etc.

The DNS servers my ISP provides are quickly reachable and appear to be 
caching very well, so I doubt that's the issue.


Conversely, and perhaps this is a hint, the GW I log in to has this 
problem, but if I log in from there to an internal system using the same 
exact version of FreeBSD, I don't have any problems like this at all.  
The difference being I also use internal DNS as well as /etc/hosts entries.



Thanks.

G4 Quicksilver as Web Server?

2008-01-01 Thread James Jeffery
Sup guys. Hope you all had a new year.

I have an old G4 lying about, its got 256mb ram, 733mhz processor. I was
wondering, would it be worth setting up the PPC version of FreeBSD (or maybe
even OpenBSD, although thats for their mailing list) on it to use as a web
server or testing box.

The most i'd do on it is probably use it as a testing box to create server
applications using C++. Id like ot work within a BSD enviroment because
thats what ive been using for a long time now, but i dont want all the extra
windows crap you get with OSX, id much rather work with command line. I
havn't got an old PC lying about, and because of university i need to keep
my PC intact with XP (assignments, research ect.).

Before i end the toipic, anyone got any feeback on the Asus Eee (mini
laptops) with FreeBSD?

Im open to any feedback.

Are you certain you used NFSv4?  It's more likely you used NFSv3 or v2.

You were correct, I think the Linux kernel version is not nfs4.  When I 
tried mount_nfs instead of mount_nfs4 it worked as advertised.

I am not an OpenOffice user but my 2c about the topic  as  the problem I 
think underline more serous issue.


The question is why is OpenOffice 2.3.1 included in the ports three so 
quickly without making sure that things work properly.
BSD systems are genuinely known for their stability and code correctness 
which is why most people decided to use them on the first place.
Rushing to include new software in the ports three without proper 
testing is seriously going to damage  usability of the whole OS.
In my understanding ports tree is supporting stable and the current 
brunch. I am of the opinion  that  the ports  three  of the  stable  
branch  should not include  nothing but  the rock  solid and tested  
software.  The  easiest  way for me to  check if the port is bleeding 
edge that  is to  try to install the same  software  using binaries. 
(pkg_add -r) If the binaries do not exist or if the version installed 
from binaries is older that clearly indicates that the port version is 
too new to be trusted.


I personally found out that Xfce4-panel is not compiling properly on 
stable and also Orage (calendar for Xfce) While
problems with Xfce4-panel  are not as serious as with Orage (which is 
not usable in any shape or form on FreeBSD) they are still serious.

The same packages work flawlessly on the OpenBSD.

I have similar problems with OpenOffice 2.3.1 on FreeBSD/i386 (I'm 
running 7.0-PRE as of Dec 23). It's possible to save documents but 
exiting OOo hangs and I need to kill it. Firing up OOo once again, 
there's this recovery stuff which hangs also and eats up CPU time. 
Only way out: kill -9 $PID
Opening a document via 'File - Open - ...' hangs also. .odt or .doc 
doesn't matter.



Any ideas? This is a serious situation to me, due to the need of a 
properly working OO :-(


No, perhaps using an other word processor (AbiWord, StarOffice). Or 
going back to OOo 2.3.0...

I am not an OpenOffice user but my 2c about the topic  as  the problem I 
think underline more serous issue.


The question is why is OpenOffice 2.3.1 included in the ports three so 
quickly without making sure that things work properly.
BSD systems are genuinely known for their stability and code correctness 
which is why most people decided to use them on the first place.
Rushing to include new software in the ports three without proper 
testing is seriously going to damage  usability of the whole OS.
In my understanding ports tree is supporting stable and the current 
brunch. I am of the opinion  that  the ports  three  of the  stable  
branch  should not include  nothing but  the rock  solid and tested  
software.  The  easiest  way for me to  check if the port is bleeding 
edge that  is to  try to install the same  software  using binaries. 
(pkg_add -r) If the binaries do not exist or if the version installed 
from binaries is older that clearly indicates that the port version is 
too new to be trusted.


I personally found out that Xfce4-panel is not compiling properly on 
stable and also Orage (calendar for Xfce) While
problems with Xfce4-panel  are not as serious as with Orage (which is 
not usable in any shape or form on FreeBSD) they are still serious.

The same packages work flawlessly on the OpenBSD.


The problem is that ports is maintained by volunteers who are mostly 
outside of any kind of freebsd core team.  I think it is unrealistic to 
ask port committers to check anything more than to check that the ports 
build properly.


My personal wish list is that opencascade builds on FreeBSD-7 with the 
new stlport, and that octave-forge not be in its current IGNORE state. 
 But I fully appreciate that I must either wait, or help make it happen.

DigiBoard Classic

2008-01-01 Thread Dan Mahoney, System Admin

Hello All,

I have a digiboard classic PCI, and I am trying to build a system to 
monitor many serial systems (UPSes) using FreeBSD.


I cannot find any documentation referring to this driver -- it seems that 
everything digi related in the BSD tree refers to the intelligent 
cards, whereas the ClassicBoard is not intelligent, but does manage to do 
interrupt sharing.


(It's also frequently available on ebay, which makes it an ideal candidate 
for experimentation).


Linux drivers are here:

http://www.digi.com/support/productdetl.jsp?pid=1694osvid=102tp=1

I'm going to try basing some tests on COM_MULTIPORT and on best-guesses 
for configs, however I'd really love to hear from anyone who knows for 
sure if this board will work or not.


If someone can read C and feels like having a quick LOOK at the driver (or 
at my test system), I could try to compensate you for some time.

portmanager will create packages as well so you can roll them out to the

Changing work directory of port for make

2008-01-01 Thread Chad Kellerman
Hey guys,
 I installed Freebsd 7 on a Dell laptop I have.  When I configured the
/usr partition I only gave it 10GB of space figuring that would be plenty.
Well now, since I don't see a pre-compiled version of OpenOffice for  i386,
looks like I have to compile it myself.  No big deal, except when I go to
compile it I run out of disk space on /usr.

Is there a way I can tell make to create it's work directory someplace
else?  I have more space in home, so if I make a /home/work, can I compile
OpenOffice to use the /home/work directory instead of
/usr/port/editors/openoffice.org-2?

I tried creating a link for the work directory but that appears to be
over ridden.




Thanks for the help,

Sure.  Just set the WRKDIRPREFIX make variable in /etc/make.conf to point to
the desired directory.
This (and much else) is documented in the ports(7) manpage.

Try as I have, I cannot isolate what is causing this.  When I completely kill
all sendmail processes (as verified by sockstat  and ps -aux) there is
*nothing* using port 25.  I do not understand what is going on.

While following the instructions for smtp authentication in:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html

I perhaps made one of my blunders.  These instructions say to alter the
file freebsd.mc rather than hostname.mc.  It does say that some admin's
like to use hostname.mc, but because I didn't know much about how FreeBSD
does the install, I saw freebsd.mc and added the three lines listed in bullet
item 6 on that web page.  Later, I saw that I did have the file hostname.mc
and while researching a resolution to this problem learned that FreeBSD makes
the hostname.mc file when doing a make all if memory serves.

Anyway, I then removed those three lines from freebsd.mc and pasted them into
hostname.mc.  Regardless, when I had those three lines in freebsd.mc
everything worked.  I made the changes for SSL/TLS as Josh Tolbert lays out
in his web site (see above link) and when I restarted sendmail, that's when
my troubles began.  I don't understand what it is that I did and how it made
it so that sendmail now thinks something else is using the socket/address.

I'm desperate for a solution.  Thanks for any help.

Andy


While you think there is nothing on that port something is running not 
letting that socket connection.  Try rebooting the system and see if the 
problem is still there.

this is nonsense.

What would be helpful is the same stepping number.

As the price is low, jsut go for it.

Older CPUs needed that both CPU have had to be of the same stepping. 
Yours is new enough to work with any CPU of the same type.


Just make sure that this is the case. Same cache size, same clock rate ...

Remote control for a multimedia computer

I've been using the computer in my bedroom for watching movies more 
often lately, and getting out of bed to pause, rewind, and handle 
volume has gotten more and more annoying.  I don't need anything very 
fancy, but I don't want to do something like use a wireless game 
controller.  I'm not sure about using a wireless keyboard due to size 
and connectivity, since I imagine the keyboard would also have to be 
the primary keyboard which would make connectivity annoying with a 
console.  I'd prefer something other than an IR solution due to line of 
sight issues.  Considering how many people are using their computer for 
home entertainment, I'm surprised at the lack of options.  Does anyone 
on the list know of a good remote that works well with FreeBSD?  Or 
would it be more of an issue of a remote receiver?  In any case, what 
would be the best option?  I'm not interested in spending too much 
money(anything capable of running NetBSD is probably out of the

 Whenever I try to save a document in OO writer, OO gets stuck and I have
 to kill it. The document gets saved, but I never can load it again
 without rendering OO unusuable. Opening M$ Word docs or OO docs doesn't
 matter.

Just to chime in: the problem has been identical for me since I upgraded to 
FreeBSD 7 some two months ago. Any OpenOffice.org build I did (2.3.0 and 
2.3.1) fails to save and load any form of documents with the exact same 
symptoms that you describe (i.e., the UI not being responsive anymore after 
trying to save or load from a file).

I used the Sun JDK source build (1.5) to compile OpenOffice.org, not the 
Diablo JDK by the way, and if anybody is willing to look at this problem 
deeper, search this list to see a post of mine where I attached gdb to the 
running (and hung) OpenOffice.org process and gave a backtrace of where the 
(100%) CPU time is being spent. IIRC it was in some input filter, but I don't 
really know anymore.

I've since moved on to KOffice, but if there's some fix for this, I'm more 
than happy to try it out.
