trashed installation ?

2013-07-18 Thread john francis lee

Hi,

I got FreeBSD 10 CURRENT installed in a virtualbox on my ubuntu desktop, 
had installed x11, and was working on gnome (the 3rd day of compilation 
!) when I lost power ... twice in a row. The FreeBSD recovered the first 
time but it doesn't look good this second time. I attach a screenshot. I 
installed the guest editions as well (another day's compilation !) but 
mouse doesn't work in the FreeBSD terminal and there's no way I can copy 
text, or share anything via the clipboard.  I'm afraid it's shot and 
I'll have to spend another week recreating a FreeBSD virtualbox guest 
... unless you can tell me how to fix this one.


Hope to hear from you, but if I haven't by tomorrow I'll just go ahead 
and wipe this machine and try again ... with pkgs instead of ports this 
time. Might not a take a week that way. I get the impression that 
there's no one reading my mails, or else no interest in my problems. 
Fair enough. What do I expect for free, right? Thanks for the software 
anyway.

   2.2.1.2. FreeBSD/amd64

   There are two classes of processors capable of running
   FreeBSD/amd64. The first are AMD64 processors, including the
   AMD Athlon™64, AMD Athlon™64-FX, AMD Opteron™ or better processors.

   The second class of processors that can use FreeBSD/amd64 includes
   those using the Intel® EM64T architecture. Examples of these
   processors include the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo, Quad, Extreme processor
   families, the Intel® Xeon™ 3000, 5000, and 7000 sequences of
   processors, and the Intel® Core™ i3, i5 and i7 processors.

I have a gigabyte GA-M61PME-52P mother board with an NVIDIA GeForce

Answer : It seems to be OK. I downloaded the release 10 memstick image, 
put it on a memstick, booted from, ran it as a live cd and it worked OK. 
I looked at the messages and there were no complaints about ACPI. There 
was a WARNING : WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance. 
Don't know what that meant.


So I downloaded a 9.1 iso and ... actually  I had one I'd downloaded in 
March, i386, and tried to install that in a Virtual box under ubuntu. 
The installation seemed OK ... but I looked up and it was rebooting. It 
ran the installation again and I watched ... to see it drop out at the 
3rd screen with a % of files installed.


I'll try and download the 10.0 iso image, since it worked from the memstick.

That did it! Looks good now. The 10.0 installation completed ... but I 
forgot to umount the iso image, so the installation was offered again. I 
'forcibly' unmounted the iso image, as Virtual Box put it, and booted 
again. Looks good. Thanks ! No I'll try to add X and some ports.

I have lame on the machine, installed in the course of the installation

Would have been nice to have a real ffmpeg available, but I can scratch
my immediate itch this way, lame though I may be :)

Re: still no luck with ffmpeg 6_2_1 and FreeBSD 6.3

2010-07-29 Thread John Francis Lee
Thanks. I thought I had in knocked with lame, but the recorder I'm
using, a java applet called nonogong from Hong Kong university, uses an
imaADPCM, 4-bit format for its .wav files that lame chokes on. ffmpeg
has no problem! But I cannot get ffmpeg to run on my ViaVerio FreeBSD
server.

The nanogong applet can also use speex, but I don't know how to play
back speex. All this has to work in microsoft browsers because that's
what everyone who has a computer has her in Thailand. As elsewhere I
suppose, still.

HTML 5 is coming... but not yet. And to microsoft kicking and screaming.

If anyone knows of a way to convert 4bit imaADPCM .wav files to mp3 on a
FreeBSD machine I'd be very happy to hear of it!

Thanks for your help.

 Try the audio/lame port. It's a high-quality mp3 encoder. In some countries
 you might need one or several patent licenses to use MP3 encoders. See
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues
 Generally most people ignore these patents, I think.
 
 You might also want to look at the audio/vorbis-tools port. Generally Ogg
 Vorbis files are smaller than mp3. Also those tools and its format are not
 encumbered by patents.
 
 For the highest quality, use lossless encoding as used by audio/flac.
 
 AFAIK, pretty much all sound/multimedia playback programs available on FreeBSD
 and Linux support all these formats.

Re: [IDS-12680263] 28amen.org : trying to portinstall ffmpeg

2010-07-27 Thread John Francis Lee
I am posting this to both viaverio and the freeBSD lists because the one
suggests I get help from the other.

On 07/28/2010 09:45 AM, Mark S wrote:
 Hello John,
 
 
 Thank you for contacting Verio Technical Support.
 
 Unfortunately, we really have no expertise with ffmpeg as it's not
 software that Verio provides. The mailing lists are really the best
 place to get help. One thing you might try is to uninstall ffmpeg by
 running a make deinstall from the port's directory and then rebuild
 it now that you apparently have a good copy of xz.

I've done that,,, several times. I thought I had mentioned it... sorry.

 
 As a last resort you could simply download a binary copy of ffmpeg
 for FreeBSD 6.3 from ftp.freebsd.org. FreeBSD pkgs are installed with
 pkg_add packagename.tgz. Since you've already built the bulk of
 dependencies from ports you might run into incompatibilities with
 this method.

What about

  sudo portupgrade -faP

?

Do you see a downside there? I'm thinking that since viaverio has
apparently not maintained the port systems on its FreeBSD v6.3 servers
that they may be in a state inconsistent with the port systems on which
other ports were created.

My first attempt to install ffmpog was

 sudo portinstall ffmpeg

which downloaded a lot of code and compiled it. Maybe some was
incompatible with code already on my server? Maybe running an upgrade of
the entire ports system on my server will fix my problem?

It'll take a while, I'm sure, but I'm wasting time right now trying to
get ffmpeg installed. Of course, I don't want to break any(every)thing
else on the system!

So my question is... what do you think of

 sudo portupgrade -faP

?

 Can it hurt?
 Do you think it might help?

If I cannot do that I guess I will go to the FreeBSD archives and try to
find a binary of the ffmpeg program...

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

 Hello Mark S,
 
 Thanks for helping out!
 
 I had had a look at the manpage for portupgrade and saw a reference
 to

 So I ran that I and noticed a duplicated origin for archivers/xz :
 
 Duplicated origin: archivers/xz - lzmautils-4.32.7 xz-4.999.9_1
 
 and so unregistered lzmautils-4.32.7
 
 then
 
 cd /ports/multimedia/ffmpeg sudo make deinstall sudo make install
 
 but ffmpeg still dumped core.
 
 This morning I ran
 
 [...@28amen ~/www/robinlea.com]$ pkg_info -Ix xz xz-4.999.9_1

 I also ran

problem with ffmpeg port

2010-07-26 Thread John Francis Lee
Hello,

I have a VPS account at viaverio and am trying to install ffmpeg on my

Should I try the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER bit? If so how?

Thanks for your help...

Or how do I portupgrade/portmanager/etc...

Thanks again.

Re: problem with ffmpeg port

Thanks... I did that and ffmpeg did install!

But...

I had had a look at the manpage for portupgrade and saw a reference to

 pkgdb -F

So I ran that I and noticed a duplicated origin for archivers/xz :

 Duplicated origin: archivers/xz - lzmautils-4.32.7 xz-4.999.9_1

and so unregistered lzmautils-4.32.7

then

  cd /ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
  sudo make deinstall
  sudo make install

but ffmpeg still dumps core.

Any further suggestions?

This is what pkgdb -F shows now

[...@28amen ~/www/robinlea.com]$ sudo pkgdb -F

 Stop in /ports/archivers/xz.


 Should I try the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER bit? If so how?

 Thanks for your help...

 Or how do I portupgrade/portmanager/etc...

 Thanks again.

[Fwd: about vbox and freebsd]

2009-08-22 Thread John Francis Lee
I got an answer to my question, posted here, from ... but I've been 
instructed not to post to individuals but to the list so I copy the 
Mak's response here :


snip
Your CPU is 64-bit from what I can see. From a bit of Googling, others 
have encountered this problem, and it seems to have to do with VM-X. I 
have no idea what that is, but a thread in which someone has a very 
similar issue is here:


  http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1t=19420

One notable quote is:

  ...[the CPU] does not have Intel VT (hardware virtualization), so you 
will not be able to run 64 bit guests in Virtualbox even though you run 
a 64 bit host.


HTH
/snip

So, OK. I cannot have 64 bit guests using virtual box.

I have installed the 32 bit version of FreeBSD... but it has no X and 
apparently no networking because the ftp from pkg_add failed.


Did I do something wrong in the install, or do I really have to 
configure all that stuff by hand?


Thanks for your help.

Hello Duncan Hutty,

I write to you directly because I have posted several times to the list 
and have not seen an answer to my problem, and you seem knowledgeable 
about freebsd.


I have a dual-core amd64 machine running ubuntu 9.04 with vbox 3.04 and 
have tried to create a freebsd guest on it. I've had a freebsd webserver 
at iserver/viaverio for about 15 years but still have not set up a 
freebsd box of my own where I can really learn the ins and outs of the 
system, and I'd like to.


My problem is that I'm told right at the onset of the install that

  CPU doesn't support long mode

Someone suggested that I was trying to install a 64 bit os on 32 bit 
system, but I don't think that's the case :

I'm then dumped into an OK prompt and unable to do much more.

Have you seen or heard of this before?

Sorry to bother you if you have no clue yourself.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

Hi,

I got a new machine, a linux ubuntu-running AMD64 based one, and thought 
I'd try out FreeBSD here at home. But when I begin the VirtualBox 
installation I get dumped into a shell-looking terminal with an OK 
prompt. I can't read all the instructions and frankly cannot do anything 
with it. I tried hitting the 2 before the timeout to boot with ACPI 
disabled but that seems not to make any difference.


Have you heard of this problem before?

Any help you might give appreciated.

Thanks.

I'll go see if the VirtualBox people can shed any  light on the matter 
as well.
