LibreOffice printing, only gibberish comes out
I wrote earlier about printing in Firefox. I have a similar problem in LibreOffice now. unreadable text but layout is almost correct. Printing from Thunderbird and xpdf is ok. Anyone else that have seen the problem with LibreOffice? My solution at the moment and it's not a good one, is to have a virtual machine with Windows 7 and print from there. /Leslie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Agree on B!
You can change the colours of course.

I changed mine to this:

rsync and the ports tree
I have several machines installed in my temporary location and only my laptop gets the internet through wireless. So far I've been building ports on the other machines by rsync'ing the distfiles from the laptop as I need them (all machines have the same FreeBSD 8.2 installed). The problem comes after I did a 'portupgrade -a' on the laptop. To ensure the other ports trees are in sync, can I rsync the /usr/ports directory to the other machines? Since some of them are different architectures (amd64 multicore for instance) I ran into situations where the distfiles are different (for gcc for example). If not rsync, what is the best way to keep multiple ports trees on different hardware in sync, assuming everything runs FreeBSD 8.2? regards, Peter Kryszkiewicz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Three button mouse emulation

I always thought it was moused_flags (according to moused), has this been changed, or is it just a typo? On my old system, I had a setting like this: moused_flags=-z 4 And for X, there was an additional setting: Option Emulate3Buttons true Option EmulateWheel true Option EmulateWheelButton2 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 This setting makes the middle mouse button to be the mouse wheel when the mouse is moved in Y direction. This applies to 3 button standard mice (which I do prefer over those clumsy wheel things). A slightly changed setting could make the left _plus_ right button appear as the middle button, being that _and_ the mouse wheel. This configuration suggestion could be helpful for users who suffer from a two-button glidepad on their laptops. I cannot find this documented anywhere. Section 4.5 of the faq mentions this feature and refers to the moused man page, where we are told to pass -3 to moused. Similar treatment in the handbook. Section 2.10.10. Only a seasoned veteran would think to look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. I don't see more than generic advice in that file regarding the use of moused flags. This trick is especially useful to laptop users and should be in the handbook. Fully agree.

The problem comes after I did a 'portupgrade -a' on the laptop. To ensure the other ports trees are in sync, can I rsync the /usr/ports directory to the other machines? Since some of them are different architectures (amd64 multicore for instance) I ran into situations where the distfiles are different (for gcc for example). First of all, rsync is working perfectly if you want to distribute /usr/ports/distfiles, /usr/ports to your internal machines, even when they are not of the same architecture. I'm doing this with a BIG farm of servers running i386, amd64, and sparc64 for a long, long time. You only need to make sure to rsync the *union* of your /usr/ports/distfiles directories, or else it won't work. Say, on amd64 you have /usr/ports/distfiles/some-distfile-for-amd64-only.tar.bz2 and on i386 you have /usr/ports/distfiles/some-distfile-for-i386-only.tar.bz2 Yes, that happens every now and then. So you have to rsync both ways, so that you end up with /usr/ports/distfiles/some-distfile-for-amd64-only.tar.bz2 /usr/ports/distfiles/some-distfile-for-i386-only.tar.bz2 on both i386 and amd64 machines. The catch is: look out for rsync's --delete flag! When some port managers delete old/stale distfiles, they may also delete distfiles for the *other* arches because they (rightly) think they are not needed here... and when you then rsync with --delete, that would (wrongly) propagate such deletes to those arches, and you end up with missing distfiles on the targets. Since I have more than just two arches, I use a slightly different 2-layer workflow: 0. I have 3 servers that are allowed to fetch files from the outside: i386-master, amd64-master, sparc64-master. and a whole bunch of i386-slave-NNN, amd64-slave-NNN and sparc64-slave-NNN machines that would duplicate from their relative masters via rsync. On all -master(s), I keep $DISTFILES outside of /usr/ports (on /usr/local/distfiles, with a symbolic link in /usr/ports /usr/ports/distfiles - /usr/local/distfiles) Initial update of i386-master, as usual: 1. On i386-master, csup /usr/ports. Run portmaster as usual to upgrade everything. This may delete old stale distfiles and non-i386-distfiles. This may fetch additional generic and i386-specific distfiles. Copy the new /usr/ports (without distfiles) to the other arch masters: 2. rsync -av --delete i386-master:/usr/ports to amd64-master and sparc64-master. CAUTION: Use --delete is okay, but only because distfiles are not under /usr/ports, so as not to nuke non-i386-specific distfiles of the other arches. Copy i386-master's NEW distfiles to the other arch masters: 3. rsync -av i386-master:/usr/local/distfiles to amd64-master and sparc64-master. BEWARE: Don't use --delete here! Do this to copy new generic distfiles (and i386) from the i386-master build to amd64-master and sparc64-master. Update amd64-master and sparc64-master's ports as usual: 4. On amd64-master, run portmaster as usual to upgrade everything. This may delete old stale distfiles and non-amd64-distfiles. This may fetch additional (generic and) amd64-specific-distfiles. 5. On sparc64-master, run portmaster as usual to upgrade everything. This may delete old stale distfiles and non-sparc64-distfiles. This may fetch additional (generic and) sparc64-specific-distfiles. At this point, i386-master, amd64-master and sparc64-master are fully updated, and their /usr/local/distfiles directories are up to date w.r.t. their specific architectures. Now, copy everything from the masters to the slaves: 6. On every i386-slave-NNN, rsync -av --delete: /usr/ports, /usr/local (including /usr/local/distfiles), /var/db/pkg, /var/db/ports from i386-master. 7. On every amd64-slave-NNN, rsync -av --delete: /usr/ports, /usr/local (including /usr/local/distfiles) /var/db/pkg, /var/db/ports from amd64-master. 8. On every sparc64-slave-NNN, rsync -av --delete: /usr/ports, /usr/local (including /usr/local/distfiles) /var/db/pkg, /var/db/ports from sparc64-master. You may also need to update entries in /etc and /usr/local/etc on the slaves.

(8.2) share lib and ldconfig problem.
Hello, 8.2 STABLE/i386 I'm hit by something strange. Basically ldconfig does not take care of some libs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg By sample I've updated icu (via portupgrade) and libreoffice does not start anymore. $ libreoffice /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libicuuc.so.46 not found, required by libsvtfi.so Portgrade did a copy of the lib into /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg and run ldconfig. But the lib does not appear in the listing of the ldconfig cache : # cd /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ # ls -m *icu* libicudata.so.46*, libicudata.so.46.1*, libicui18n.so.46.1*, libicuio.so.46.1*, libicule.so.46.1*, libiculx.so.46.1*, libicutest.so.46.1*, libicutu.so.46.1*, libicuuc.so.46.1* # ldconfig -r | grep pkg | grep icu 664:-licudata.46 = /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libicudata.so.46 Note that there is only one icu lib in the ldconfig's cache.

Questions are : - Why theses libs are not in the ldconfig cache ? - Why a copy named libicudata.so.46 is in the cache and not libicudata.so.46.1?

FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 and DTrace Userland Probes
I upgraded my box so that I can rock the userland DTrace probes. I have been
following the example at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/DTrace/userland
When I am ready to build my test probe, I run 'make' as the example shows. The
result of that is the following:
cc -O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -c test.c
cc -O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -o test
test.o
test.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `__dtrace_prober___probe__before'
test.c:(.text+0x45): undefined reference to `__dtrace_prober___probe__after'
*** Error code 1
Same idea as the example, but I just changed the names around. Well, so I
thought I would be smart and compile just the object file with:
dtrace -G -s prober.d
And that stalls. `truss` is showing that dtrace is stalling after a mmap, with
what looks to be a valid returned address.
/* provider.d */
provider prober {
probe probe__before(char *);
probe probe__after(char *);
};
/* test.c */
#include unistd.h
#include sys/time.h
#include provider.h
int main(void)
{
struct timeval tv;
for ( ;; )
{
sleep(1);
PROBER_PROBE_BEFORE(foo);
gettimeofday(tv, NULL);
PROBER_PROBE_AFTER(bar);
}
return 0;
}
Any insight would be wonderful.
Thanks!
-Matt
