Re: Xorg 7.5, XFCE4 and radeon

2010-05-04 Thread Jamie Griffin
 
 I cannot believe that this update was vetted thoroughly, however, it is
 a little to late to bitch about it now. These sort of problems are
 becoming all to common place lately, IMHO.
 
Feeling your frustration here as well. This latest update has caused a lot of 
us a great deal of problems: I have no X at all at the moment because of 
problems with the Intel driver. :-(

 Among other things, it means you transcribed the message by hand
 instead of copy-pasting it :)
 
I did, you're right. With no X i'm working from the console so had no
other option. :-)

 You seem to have a missing shared-library (runtime) dependency.
 Perhaps one of your X libs didn't get upgraded?

What could I do to fix that, do you know?

 If you have moused enabled, you can select text with the left
 mouse button, and insert text with the middle mouse button.
 If you don't have a middle mouse button, press the wheel down.
 If you don't have a wheel, press the left and the right mouse
 button at the same time.
 
Thanks for the tip, i didn't know I could do that.
 
 According to the error message, mentioning /usr/local/lib/xorg/
 modules/drivers/intel_drv.so, I would think a modular component
 of xorg, maybe the drivers component, or a specific kernel
 module (for Intel video) needs a separate update.

I did try recompiling the drivers after i read about a similar issue in
a post i found in the archives but that did not fix it.

X is broken after upgrade

2010-05-02 Thread Jamie Griffin

Hello

Just upgraded X using portupgrade. Now, X dies when I try to start it. I
usually use xdm, disabled that and tried `startx` and it just hangs,
exactly as it did when trying to use xdm. I read that others on the list
are also having some X related issues after upgrading it, is anyone
aware of any other, similar problems? or even better if anyone knows how
to fix it?

I've included my /var/log/X.0.log

securing sshd

2010-03-20 Thread Jamie Griffin
Hello

I've been reading up on securing sshd after being bombarded with attempted 
logins. 

The steps i've taken so far to make things more secure are:

* changed the encryption method for passwords in /etc/login.conf from md5 to 
blowfish and changed all the passwords to ridiculously obscure ones (at least 
as obscure as I could think of).

* changed /etc/ttys secure entries to insecure to prevent root logins on the 
console

  (the above are not really sshd specific i know.)

* Disabled root login by ssh in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

* Set myself as the only user able to login by ssh

* Disabled password logins completely, and to only allow public key 
authentication

* Changed the default ssh port from 22 to something much higher

I'm the only user that will ever need to log into the machine. I wondered, does 
this setup seem ok and are there any other methods used by anyone on list that 
might help me to secure remote logins even further?

Thanks for any help.

Jamie

Re: securing sshd

2010-03-20 Thread Jamie Griffin
I think on reflection I might have been a little over the top with blocking 
password logins and I think the point about carrying a key on a usb stick, etc, 
is a very good one. The reason I went with that decision is because I only 
expect to be logging in to the server from two locations:  at home or from a 
computer at my university, where the public key can be kept in the accounts I 
use at each location. Also, there are no other users loggin into it so it won't 
be too much of a problem doing it this way, i hope. When I saw hundreds of 
failed login attemps I panicked a bit i think :-) 

I really like the pf option and have just set up a similar rule actually, which 
i think will work well because i've also got it working with spamd to greylist 
inbound mail, as recommended by someone on this list the other day. 

Really appreciate all the good advice though, thanks.

 In that case, the best thing you can do is figure out the IP ranges of 
 either location.

Definately a good idea, thanks Eric. 

 
 Btw. I found two articles on securityfocus.com, the first is analysis 
 using a honeypot, as you see these attacks are pretty lame:

 Two pc's:
 
 1 - router

 What's the best method to ban that ip [what is bruteforcig a server]
 what was logged on the logger?
 I need to ban the ip on the router pc.
 
 How can i send the bad ip to the router, to ban it?

I was asking about this earlier, I went with pf which is already in the base 
system and also making sshd more secure by using the options in 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Have a look at `man 5 sshd_config` and there is loads of stuff on goodgle about 
this. So far, I really like what pf can do, check it out. `man pf.conf` and 
again there are lots of old posts on google, and the OpenBSD pf guide is good 
too:

/usr/src/UPDATING

2010-02-16 Thread Jamie Griffin

I have a really simple question about updating my system. Does 
/usr/src/UPDATING say when I need to update the kernel and world (obviously 
after updating the sources using csup/cvsup). I've been assuming it does but 
i'm not sure i'm following it correctly. Or, does it just have information 
about 'issues' that may affect the update/upgrade process. The last update on 
freebsd 8.0-RELEASE i've got currently is 8.0-RELEASE-p2. Not sure if there has 
been another since that.

 It describes updates to the branch  and gives any special instructions.
 
 Since you are using a security branch all the the updates are security 
 related or severe bugs. So look at the most recent update, currently p2 
 and compare it with the end of your version string.
 
 You don't have to download the source BTW, you can get the UPDATING file 
 from here:

 Problem here is in multimedia/v4l_compat port, which was recently

tried both those options, neither one works unfortunately. hmmm.

Ghostscript8 portupgrade failure

2009-12-20 Thread Jamie Griffin
Hi

I've now got a different problem when trying to portupgrade ghostscript8
and the build fails with an error: (new compiler error).

I had a problem with ghostscript the last time it need upgrading. I
think then I removed it from the system and just built the new port.
This time, I have a number of other ports that depend on it and
pkg_delete ghostscript8 won't remove it because of the dependent ports. 

If I `pkg_delete -f`  it and then rebuilt it from the ports tree will
this cause problems with my system?

question about building a custom kernel

2009-12-19 Thread Jamie Griffin
Hi

I have been reading the handbook to learn about building a custom
kernel, but just wanted to ask something about gathering information
about my hardware before I give it a go. 

The handbook suggests the command:

# pciconf -lv 

...which I like because it provides a clear list of components I can find
out about before I try to build the new kernel.

On my system, this command does print out information for quite a few
components, I just wondered if this information is all I need to work
from or is it not an accurate or detailed enough representation of the
hardware I have in my computer. I'd really appreciate any advice on how
others go about this.

Re: TeXlive2009 binaries for FreeBSD 6,7,8 (i386/AMD64)

2009-11-26 Thread Jamie Griffin
 You can build your own binaries by tweaking an svn checkout of the
 TeXlive sources.  I've done this on my laptop, because I run CURRENT
 and the old TeXlive 2008 binaries failed to run:

snip 

 I think I kept notes while building the binaries.  If I manage to find
 them soon-ish I will post a followup of how you can build a TeXlive 2009
 distribution from source.

If you could post back with that, it would be great.

 Notes for builders
 ==
 
 If you try building TeXlive 2009 on FreeBSD 8.X it may be useful to set
 the following in your shell environment:
 
 export TL_MAKE='gmake'
 export TL_CONF_BANNER='--with-tex-banner=TeX Live 2009/FreeBSD'
 export TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS='--without-graphite'
 
 You can get a source snapshot of TeXlive 2009 following the instructions
 at http://www.tug.org/texlive/.  I used rsync to grab a snapshot of
 the sources, as described in http://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/.  Then I
 followed the instructions at http://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html to
 build my own snapshot on FreeBSD 9.X.

Thanks for the information

Re: can't make www/linux-f10-flashplugin10

 The port www/linux-f10-flashplugin needs linux -f10- ports. The latter

 /usr/ports/UPDATING 20090401: AFFECTS: users of linux Fedora 8
 infrastructure ports (it deals with non default f8 ports, f10
 are the same with f10 value). HTH
 
 Please, keep in mind that those ports are not defaults for 7.x.


Hi, thanks for the reply. I worked out what was causing the problem in
the end. (incidentally, i already had made sure the linux-f10-base was
installed.) I had stupidly left whitespace after the  = sign in the file:

/etc/sysctl.conf:

OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT =f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORT =f10 

correcting that did the trick and its all working great. 

Thanks again, though.

 Just in case someone looks here and not in UPDATING referred above, they 
 go in /etc/make.conf but you probably meant that :)

can't make www/linux-f10-flashplugin10

2009-10-25 Thread Jamie Griffin
Hi, i'm trying to build the www/linux-f10-flashplugin port and i'm 
getting the following error on make:


/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.linux-apps.mk, line 79: Malformed conditional

I don't know what this means and i'm not sure how to fix it. Can anyone 
help?


I'm using FreeBSD 7.2, my ports tree is up to date (did it earlier 
today). I did have flashplugin 9 installed with the linux-f4-core, but 
i've removed this, installed the f10-core and then started having 
problems with the flashplugin.


Thanks in advance for any advice/help.
