freebsd-update-server
Hello all, I am setting up my own freebsd-update-server. Everything seems to be working so far, but how can I also get the patches to build together with everything? Here is the output of scripts/init.sh # sh scripts/init.sh i386 8.1-RELEASE | tee init.log Sat Aug 7 14:59:24 SAST 2010 Starting fetch for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE /usr/packages/freebsdupdateserver/work/8.1-RELEASE/i386/iso.img 645 MB 47 MBps Sat Aug 7 14:59:35 SAST 2010 Verifying disc1 hash for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE Sat Aug 7 14:59:46 SAST 2010 Extracting components for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE Sat Aug 7 15:01:50 SAST 2010 Constructing world+src image for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE Sat Aug 7 15:05:37 SAST 2010 Extracting world+src for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE ## Here is my problem ls: /usr/packages/freebsdupdateserver/patches/8.1-RELEASE: No such file or directory ## Sat Aug 7 13:07:18 UTC 2010 Building world for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE Sat Aug 7 15:07:26 SAST 2010 Moving components into staging area for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE mv: rename /R/stage/trees to /R/trees/world: No such file or directory Sat Aug 7 15:07:26 SAST 2010 Identifying extra documentation for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE Documentation not built from src: Sat Aug 7 15:07:44 SAST 2010 Extracting extra docs for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE tar: could not chdir to '/R/trees/world' Sat Aug 7 15:07:44 SAST 2010 Indexing release for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE ^C # Is ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ERRATA/patches/ the right place to get them?

Wierd X crash
Hello all, I am fairly new to FreeBSD. I use linux a lot. Am running FreeBSD 7.2 i386 with the nvidia 173 driver with an AGP GeForce FX 5200. My X works, with xinerama and two screens, perfectly, but as soon as I hold down any key (like Backspace to remove a line of text) X crashes. This is in the log: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting The rest of the log is fine. I have fiddled with HAL and DBUS, turning them off and on, but no luck. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Even one that does not create scrolling on the screen? like backspace in an empty file? Unless someone else has seen this, sounds really hard to debug without a coredump :/ The only long shot I got to offer is that nvidia provides TwinView which does the same as Xinerama and you might want to try that out instead. There's detailed information about it in one of the Nvidia README's. Twinview did indeed completely solve the problem! What are the (dis)advantages of TwinView and Xinerama? Thanks!

On Linux I installed java, and downloaded the newest eclipse. On FreeBSD, you don't need to download things manually via a web browser in this old fashioned way. :-) Have a look at FreeBSD's ports collection. You'll find java/eclipse as well as many additions to this IDE. You can of course use the pkg_add -r command to install them, or your favourite port management program (portmaster, portinstall etc.), or use the plain method of make install. There are different versions of Java availabe on FreeBSD. You can choose between Sun's JDK and the Diablo JDK, and there are some others. Sadly, I can't provide much more information because I have up using Java and Eclipse many years ago. :-( I tried it via the ports, but this error keeps popping up: Missing pkg-descr for patch-2.5.9. And I do not know if it is important enough, but I want to use Eclipse 3.5 At the moment I am installing ports/java/jdk16 And then I'll try to use the download of eclipse 3.5 Thank you so far, Coert ___ 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
local mirrors of ports and packages?
Hi all! I am quite new to FreeBSD. I am quite a boffin on Linux though. What I would like to know is, how can I make local mirrors of ports and packages? I live in South-Africa, and bandwidth is painfully slow and expensive. How many data would it be in total?
