vim 6.3 pthread errors?
Hello, quick question: trying to install vim 6.3.15 from the ports with support for GTK2 on a FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 machine by doing a portinstall -m WITH_GTK2=YES vim.

Ripping Audio CDs and Enhanced Audio CDs?
Hello list, FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, using ripit.pl (audio/ripit) with lame and dagrab. I've got a (quite simple?) question which keeps me up at nights (not really :-). How do you rip those audio CDs that are enhanced? That's the CDs that have such fancy multimedia features you can use when you put the CD in a CD-ROM drive (under Windows of course), eg play some low-quality music video or navigate around some menus. I am of course not interested in any of those features, just want to make some MP3s from that CD so I can put them on my MP3 player. Here's the problem I have with every CD of that kind: I can rip every audio track except the last one, that is the track that comes before the data track on the CD, eg: Track 01: audio . . . Track 09: audio Track 10: data An example of such a CD is the Rock in Rio album by Iron Maiden. Ripping track 09 from the CD fails, no matter what ripper I use (dagrab, dd, cdparanoia, cdda2wav). Unfortunately I can't reproduce any error messages at the moment, but maybe someone knows what I mean? It basically stops reading after about 90% of the track and exists with an error message. Note: ripping and encoding normal CDs works like a charme, from the first to the last track. Using a Windows machine to rip an enhanced CD works of course, but I should be really surprised if such a task was impossible under FreeBSD. Does anybody have an idea? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. -- Andreas daff Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of daff AT dword DOT org | everything, and the value of nothing.

It does not fail trying to rip the data track, it fails during the last *audio* track, no matter what I do. Although if you speak from experience and have succeeded ripping enhanced CDs that way (-t switch) then my problem must lie somewhere else, or I didn't try hard enough.

Re: 100Mbit/s LAN slow, TX only ~3MB/s (esp. file transfer) -- why?
Thank you all who took time to reply! The problem really seems to be one of the (or maybe even both, even the LinkSys!) NICs in the FreeBSD machines. No wonder, the RealTek card is a cheap piece of crap (around EUR 6), I am going to replace it with something more reliable. Any recommendations? Is there a card with Really Good(TM) driver implementation for FreeBSD? Anything one would use in a production server (we use 3com cards almost exclusively at work, although mostly in Linux servers)? Anyway, thanks for all the input, I really appreciate it! Andreas -- Andreas daff Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of daff AT dword DOT org | everything, and the value of nothing.

100Mbit/s LAN slow, TX only ~3MB/s (esp. file transfer) -- why?
Hello list, here's the situation: a small LAN with two FreeBSD machines (one 4.10-STABLE, one 5.1-RELEASE-p11), one Gentoo box, one Windows 2000 Laptop. All the machines have 100Mbit/s capable network interfaces, configured for full duplex and auto-negotiation, and actually running in 100baseTX-FD mode (5.1 uses rl0, 4.10 dc0, Gentoo and Windows are also equipped with RealTek RTL8139 NICs). They are all connected through CAT5 UTP cables and a 5 port 100Mbit/s switch. All machines except the FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE box are quite capable (800MHz--1GHz, 128MB--640MB RAM, (U)DMA mode harddisks, etc). The 5.1 box is an old 200MHz Pentium-MMX, 64MB RAM, slow disks. Here's the problem: Using FTP to transfer a 600MB file (ISO image) from one FreeBSD machine to the other runs only as fast as 3MB/s (maximum). Transferring the same file from the Gentoo box to one of the FreeBSD machines runs equally slow. Transferring the file from the Gentoo box to the Windows 2000 laptop however runs fine with about 10MB/s. Transferring from FreeBSD to Windows 2000 is slow again (2--5MB/s). Using SCP gives me a maximum of 1MB/s tranfer rate, on all possible connections and client pairs. I suppose this could be SCPs fault since it needs a fast CPU to encrypt and decrypt the data, but 800MHz and 1GHz ought to be enough so that this shouldn't be a bottleneck, hm? I've also tried connecting the machines directly via a crossover cable, to no avail. 4.10 -- 5.1 is still 3MB/s, Gentoo -- Windows 2000 runs even faster, and Gentoo -- FreeBSD is also about 2MB/s. I remember that about a year ago with the same setup (except for the 5.1 box, which I didn't have back then) FTP speed was most excellent, transferring a 1GB file took about 3 minutes. Now it seems to take forever to copy just 50MB. So why could this be? I am mostly interested in the two FreeBSD machines, why would that be such a slow connection? Because the 5.1 box is quite old? Could the RealTek card have a problem? The switch is almost certainly not faulty. Also why would a transfer between the 4.10 box and the Gentoo machine take so long? As I mentioned, a year ago I was enjoying TX rates of almost 11MB/s between the two of them. I believe at least part of the problem lies with the FreeBSD machines, so I am asking for ideas on what this issue could be, how to investigate further to track down the possible sources of the problem and how to solve it. Sorry for this lengthy post, I tried to give as much information as possible and make clear that I have already invested a good amount of time and effort to debug and solve this myself, but I am running out of ideas. I also posted on two other boards but nobody could suggest anything actually useful. I refuse to believe that this is the expected mode of operation for FTP (and even SCP) :-) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Problems installing a USB keyboard
Hello list, this is just a quick question, I used to use a PS/2 keyboard, now I got a Cherry USB which I'd like to try out. I put device ukbd in my kernel configuration (along with device uhci, ohci, usb, ugen and uhid) and rebuilt it. However, I seem to be forgetting something, because when booting the system the keyboard doesn't seem to work. The Num-Lock key does (turning the Num-Lock LED on and off), but nothing else (can't even log in or do a CTRL-ALT-DEL). What am I missing? Sorry if this is something painfully obvious.

It isn't, but you may find this applicable: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30570 Thanks for your reply! If I am not mistaken the fix for this problem is to remove the AT keyboard driver from the kernel? This is mentioned somewhere in the handbook, too I think. There are two entries in the kernel configuration for the keyboard (controller): device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 # flags 0x1: remove and reconnect kbd correctly Which one has to be removed? Probably both, right? But as far as I understand, the atkbdc0 also controls the PS/2 mouse; does that mean it is not possible to use a USB keyboard with a PS/2 mouse? Sounds like I should keep using the keyboard with the USB-to-PS/2 converter, doesn't it? :) But I'll try removing the AT driver first. -- Andreas daff Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of daff AT dword DOT org | everything, and the value of nothing.

Re: Solved: FreeBSD as print server w/CUPS + samba + apsfilter
Alas, too late I see this thread :) I have written (some months ago) a guide covering the installation and configuration of CUPS+Samba with printing from Windows (2k, NT, XP) clients via the Samba/Windows Network-Interface (the one where you can download printer drivers from the print server). I've sent it to Daemonnews months ago, but they didn't reply. I'll post the links here, and although it doesn't cover apsfilter, I am sure there are a few useful hints and points in there. It's a little outdated, though (not much). HTML version: http://daffit.meownz.info/html/cups-samba/ PDF: http://daffit.meownz.info/cups-samba.pdf All that is based on a writeup of mine in the Gentoo forums, this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=110931 A good guy named Joshua Preston put it all---plus a lot more (CLAM-AV)--- together here: http://sungentoo.homeunix.com/test/quicksamba-howto.html The latter two links contain more up-to-date information and troubleshooting tips, and although they are written for the Gentoo Linux system, it should be no problem adapting the important points to any other Unix/Linux platform, especially FreeBSD.

libxml2.so.5: Undefined symbol pthread_equal w/ xfce4
Hello list, This one annoys me for quite a long time now. I am using xfce4 (but that's not the point) and there is this problem with libxml2. It manifests itself thus: ** (xfce-mcs-manager:89174): WARNING **: Module /usr/X11R6/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins /libxfce4settings.so cannot be opened (/usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.5: Undefined symbol pthread_equal) (meaning that the properties panel for the xfce4-panel cannot be used and it's not possible to configure it anymore).

I've recompiled each and ever port that depends on libxml2 (which is A LOT of ports) with the same make flags to no avail. What am I supposed to do? The problems seems to be only with xfce4. One single time I think I hit the correct combination of make flags, resulting in xfce4 working correctly again with libxml2. Then, some days ago, I updated libxml2 and there it is again. Every other application (e.g. the Gimp) seems to works fine (I think). Why is this, what would I have to do and where should I read up on the problem? Gotta have it fixed! Argh! :-) I'd really appreciate any input concerning this! Hopefully I've provided enought information on the subject.

If this would be of any use, how would I accomplish to dd /dev/zero to just that specific part of the disk, leaving the rest intact? Is that possible at all? Or are there any other ways to solve that problem, apart from buying a new disk or low-level-formating the whole thing? I would really appreciate any help or hints on that.

Native Opera: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End, libjavaplugin_oji.so?
Hello list, Maybe somebody knows what the problem is I am facing with the native version of Opera for FreeBSD. Until now I have used the linux-opera port and it worked quite well I think. Out of curiosity I wanted to give the native version from the ports a try and deinstalled linux-opera along with keeping a backup of the ~/.opera directory under ~/.opera.linux. The installation took 5 minutes or so and when I fired it up I got the following error messages after confirming the license agreement thingy: --- shell opera INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not load libjavaplugin_oji.so: linking error=Shared object libgtk-1.2.so.0 not found System error?:: No such file or directory [2]Exit 255 opera shell --- Then it exits. And that's it. Does anybody know what the problem here is? I have both jdk and linux-jdk installed, could it be a problem with Java or something related? And what does it have to do with libgtk-1.2.so.0? Any hints/pointers/RTFMs? A search of the archives didn't bring up anything regarding an error like the above. Thanks in advance, regards -- Andreas ant Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of [EMAIL PROTECTED] | everything, and the value of nothing.

fsck lasting several hours (and then forever) after crash
Hello lists (sorry for crossposting), This is kind of serious for me. Here is what happened: I portupgraded the native version of mozilla to 1.1 and fired it up. It crashed and took X with it. Keyboard and mouse where dead, I had to press the reset button. So the system rebooted and reached automatic fsck. Checked /, /var, /tmp and then, when going to /usr it stopped. And stood stopped. I've had it running 17 hours now, nothing. Booting into single user I do /sbin/fsck, which works nicely until here: Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=1702863 (4 should be 0) CORRECT [yn] No matter what I enter (tried both y and n) it goes on and then lasts forever. No harddisk-noise, no nothing. I really don't know why this is happening. fsck does not bail out or say anything, it just does nothing after above message. No CTRL-C, no CTRL-ALT-DEL, no nothing helps. Since I needed the system I edited /etc/rc and commented out the exit 1 part where it refuses going to multiuser when any of the file systems is marked 'dirty', then added the -f flag to mount. That way I got it back running, but how do I repair my /usr partition now without fsck failing to do its job? Has anybody a pointer for me, an idea or anything else I could try to repair /usr? I know that what I did is quite a dirty workaround. Thanks in advance, anything is greatly appreciated. regards -- Andreas ant Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of [EMAIL PROTECTED] | everything, and the value of nothing.

Try booting into single-user mode (boot -s) and then try reading all the disk's blocks. If it hangs doing this, then you know it's not fsck's fault: dd if=/dev/ad0s1c of=/dev/null bs=64k Now that is a good idear! Thanks. I dropped to single user mode and did dd if=/dev/ad4s1h of=/dev/null bs=64k. It appears that fsck is not the problem but my disk is going bad. It turned out that our disk just needed a low-level format. Apparently, writing zeroes to (some) disks effects a low-level format, so I zeroed the entire bad disk (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s1c) and then I could read all the disks's blocks without problems. Of course zeroing the disk will destroy all your data. If you knew which blocks were bad you could try zeroing just those blocks; if they weren't holding real important information (like a superblock) then you might be able to save your files. I am not sure how to interpret the error message I get: ad4s1h: hard error reading fsbn 61857135 of 28752640-28752767 (ad4s1 bn 61857135; cn 3850 tn 109 sn 18) status=69 error=40 Does that indicate which blocks are bad? If so, how could I try zeroing out just those blocks? And if not, is there a way to tell which are the real bad blocks? Sorry for sounding newbie'ish, but I've never dealt with something like that before, at least not with a bad disk. thanks and regards -- Andreas ant Ntaflos | A cynic is a man who knows the price of [EMAIL PROTECTED] | everything, and the value of nothing.

Re: phpMyAdmin directory (newbie question)
On Tue, Oct 22, 2002 at 02:34:23PM -0400, Richard Biffl wrote: I'm setting up a FreeBSD server for the first time. When I installed Apache, it created a /usr/local/www/data-dist directory, with www/data as an alias (symlink?). I then installed PHP, then phpMyAdmin, and it installed in /usr/local/www/data.default/phpMyAdmin. I understand that the phpMyAdmin directory should be below www/data. Should I change www/data so it points to www/data.default instead of www/data-dist, or break the link from www/data to www/data-dist and/or copy www/data.default/phpMyAdmin into www/data? What I did was just copy phpMyAdmin into /usr/local/www/data. I don't think that breaks anything, and I don't see much benefit in messing with lots and lots of symlinks just to keep data, data-dist, data-dist.default and data.default...just my POV. I don't want to stray too far from the vanilla installation, but I must be missing a step here. You could also unlink data from data-dist and make data its own directory, keeping everything apache installed in data-dist. Thus you do not break any scripts that rely on www/data and you can keep the installation as clear as possible. Or you could change the DocumentRoot variable to something completely different, I think it is just a matter of personal preference (and lazyness :)).

strange reboot, permissions of /sbin/reboot
Hello list, Something strange just occured on a quite busy server running FreeBSD 4.6-RC as of May 28. First, it seemed to have suddenly rebooted, but not by a kernel trap or anything like it, the machine has been up for over 120 days, running smoothly. We checked the logs, seeing that it was rebooted by an ordinary user (all.log) which comes quite strange to me. # ls /sbin/reboot -r-xr-xr-x 4 root wheel - 233708 Jan 19 2002 /sbin/reboot* First I thought someone messed up things bigtime, but checking my system shows me the same permissions for /sbin/reboot, despite the fact that an ordinary user on my system can NOT reboot or shutdown anything. We issued a reboot again as a normal user, just to make sure it was not a mistake and it did reboot again. It also seems that the first reboot was not initiated by a user. I am a little confused...how could that happen? My questions are: what catches the execution of /sbin/reboot for normal users and how could it happen that the normal user was not caught in that case? Also, how come that the permissions on reboot and shutdown are the way they are? Can someone point me to some relevant pieces of information?

SGI's STL (Standard Template Library) in base system?
Hello list, Maybe I should be posting this to -hackers, but I'll try anyway. Is the Standard Template Library somehow contained in the base system of FreeBSD? I know there is the ports devel/stlport, but if it also resides in the base system (just like sendmail, perl, ssh, etc..) it would be no good idea to install it from ports, would it? But if I have to install the port, is it any good? Is it useable? I would appreciate any tips.

I've once had troubles too with mounting fat32 partitions since the slice-numbering often turns out to be different from what you might expect. the partition i want to mount isn't listed in mount, but here's the output anyway: /dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad4s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s1g on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) I think that should be mount -t msdos /dev/ad4s5 /mnt rather than /dev/ad0s5. For moused in console use: moused -p /dev/ums0 or set the appropriate values in /etc/rc.conf. 'moused -p /dev/ums0' in console returns a 'Device busy' error. My lines for the mouse in /etc/rc.conf are as follows, however: moused_port=/dev/ums0 moused_type=auto moused_enable=YES First you would have to kill the moused processes running of course, perhaps you forgot that? And maybe this is a redundant question, but do you have the whole USB support options in your kernel config for the kernel to support USB? For X use: Options Protocol Auto Options Device /dev/sysmouse see `man 5 XF86Config`. This should get the USB mouse working in both X and the console. Those are the the settings I'm already using...but it still doesn't work. Hm this is just what I use on my laptop and it works pretty well.
