OpenOffice 1.1.3 package
Hi all I just installed OpenOffice 1.1.3, via a package, on -CURRENT from a few days ago. pkg_add complained about not being able to find XFree86 and imake 4.3.0 (I think) and perl - which is odd because I do have perl installed - so I used -f to force it. However, when I try and run openoffice-1.1.3 or openoffice-1.1.3-setup it just sits there using 100% CPU time in soffice.bin or setup.bin; I have to kill the process off using -KILL. Is this a known problem? I also tried compiling from source on 5.3-BETA5 before I updated to CURRENT and that failed, although I forgot to look why.

xorg DPMS weirdness with laptop
I had to patch the trident driver which does the whole turn off backlight thing for the CyberBlade (which is what my laptop, unfortuantly, has) and this works with xset dpms force off/suspend/standby. However, if I just leave it alone it's still doing it's old behavior of making the screen black but leaving the backlight on. Any ideas as to why this might be? I have Options DPMS in my xorg.conf... maybe i'm forgetting something stupidly simple :-) No doubt the case.

Kernel Compile slow on 5.x series?
Has anyone else noticed that the 5.x series kernel compile times take much longer than that of the 4.x series? My friends 233MHz machine running 4.x finished a kernel compile before my 500MHz machine running 5.x a while back. It seems to take forever?

Due to enhenced code optimization, support for modern language features and other things the _compilation_ times increased considerably in the newk version of the compiler (the resulting code is often much faster). Fortunately, things are getting better with the most recent compilers from the GCC 3.x series.

specified
# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal
and from what I read, I was expecting my script to come up somewhere very
near mountcritlocal, but it actually appeared after sendmail.. which is
miles away. I solved it for now by putting
# BEFORE: ipfilter
aswell, because really I want it always after mountcritlocal. I'm a bit
confused as to why with # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal it was being run so late.
Did I misread something?
Anyway! With the BEFORE line it works great! Exactly how I wanted it!

reload rc.conf during boot process
Is it possible to do this somehow? I was trying my hand out at C and made a cool little menu for myself. It looks for files in /etc/ which are named rc.conf.x and lists them in the menu. Then, when you select one on boot, it copies the selected configuration file to rc.conf. I put my program in... the rc.d mount script, so that the disk is mounted writeable at the time and my C program is able to issue cp (bad way I know) to replace rc.conf. After running my program in the rc.d mount script I then did a . /etc/rc.conf but rc.conf doesn't get reloaded. The file is being copied over, as when I reboot it starts using the copied over configuration. I am not sure if . /etc/rc.conf is supposed to load a file in? I just saw it in some other script and assumed that's what it was doing.

Better way to get interface assigned to default route?
Hi all,
I just now replaced my 350MHz PII home server back to the old 133MHz PI to
see if my crashing problems went away. I have noticed that dhclient-script
does a `netstat -rn | grep ^default | awk {'print $6'}` to get the
interface that the default route is on, in my case my dsl modem is on fxp1.
Since this is a slow machine however, this takes a very long time for it to
do that command as I seem to have quite alot of...routing entries I guess
they are?
So, simple question really... does anyone else know a better way this can
be done, or is this the only way? If it's the only way i'll just change
dhclient-script so it's fixed as fxp1 and doesn't do the whole netstat -rn
thing to try and get that...
Thanks.

Hi Remko :-)
| Well, how come there is a default route if you use dhcp afterwards? my
| default route is delivered through dhcp.. so i cannot reside on a
| default entry because i dont have any... That's why i think that the
| default grep is a little bit weird actually, since most hosts dont have
| any routes at all at that point in time and then start dhclient iface
|
I'm no expert on it all, but... the command is in the code and it's
certainly executing that command :-) I see it in top taking up alot of CPU
time every few minutes! I imagine it's doing it every few minutes because
my modem likes to send dhcp updates frequently, so if my connection drops
or ip changes I don't have to wait an hour... day...however long for the
interface to be updated.
| And to be more exact:
|
| in /etc/rc.conf i have
| ifconfig_em0=DHCP which starts ``dhclient em0'' for me... i never used
| dhclient-script, and didn't read it carefully yet to understand it.
|
Yeah, I have ifconfig_fxp1=DHCP :-) dhclient uses dhclient-script to do
all of it's work, I guess you could call dhclient a wrapper of sorts?
Like I said, I had to make some changes to this script, although I have
never execute it directly, to stop FreeBSD from locking up on an IP address
change and to actually even get it to be able to communicate with my modem
(ADSLNation X-Modem CE), something along the lines of deleting the default
route straight after it had added it, and then readding it; don't ask me
why this solved the problem but it did! If anyone is interested in that I
can mail the changes I made and describe my setup or something. Infact, to
back that up further here's a snippet from the dhclient-script man page :-D
-
dhclient-script(8)
dhclient-script(8)
NAME
dhclient-script - DHCP client network configuration script
DESCRIPTION
The DHCP client network configuration script is invoked from time
to
time by dhclient(8).
-
I guess you probably just don't notice because you have a fast machine and
not many routing table entries?
| Perhaps this explains a bit...
|
| or i just dont get the question yet { have a long weekend, tired etc ;) }
:-) No worries, I am very grateful for your reply!

ACPI Blacklist question
Hello, I'm not sure whether I should have posted this to questions or current (since it's an issue with a recent current) or some other list, but hear me out and perhaps point me in the right direction? I recently upgraded a play about box from an older current to one .. a day before the preemption issues arose. All is well, except I found the box would no longer shutdown automatically using shutdown -p and hitting the power button would just put the box into a sort of suspend or sleep state. Well, just now I looked at dmesg and came across this message ACPI disabled by blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor... I believe this is most likely the cause. I can't remember exactly what BIOS or motherboard is in there but I can have a look if that is needed. Can anyone tell me why it's been blacklisted anyway? I didn't used to have any problems with it at all on the older CURRENT. In fact I was quite impressed that I could turn it off, cleanly, by just hitting the power button! I'll mess around and see if I can get ACPI loaded anyway somehow and see if there's any ill effects with it.

- Original Message - From: Briggaman, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 1:52 PM Subject: Point n' print Samba | Has anyone successfully gotten Samba to act as a point'n print print | server within a Windows 2000 domain or know of any good HOWTOs? I'm having I have got it working, although it was a long time ago and I can't remember exactly how I did it or any HOWTO's I used, so I can only really point you at some configuration really. I am using CUPS, I have heard you can do it with apsfilter or something and it's better? but it works fine for me so I left it with CUPS (you may have to recompile samba with CUPS support?). After CUPS is installed you should first edit /usr/local/etc/cups/mime.types and mime.convs. Right at the bottom of each of these files is a commented out raw filter. You'll need to uncomment both of these lines for raw printing! Start cupsd and setup a raw printer with the web based configuration, http://localhost:631 I think that's all you have to do for CUPS. Then you'll need to edit smb.conf located in /usr/local/etc and include, as global options load printers = yes printcap = cups printcap name = cups printing = cups printer admin = @admin You'll want to change the printer admin from the admin group probably. Then you'll need to make two shares along the lines of [printers] comment = Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = yes public = yes writeable = no printable = yes printer admin = @admin [print$] comment = Printer Driver Download path = /samba/printerdriver browsable = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes write list = @admin Again, you'll want to change the @admin groups and probably the path for the print$ share then restart samba. Here's a bit I can't quite remember but i'm sure someone on the list will be able to fill it in. You'll need to install the printer drivers into the print$ share, I seem to remember doing this by going to \\computername . You should see a printers folder in there! Possibly using the Add Printer thing in there, if not then I guess you could try \\computername\printers (that seems to come up with some sorta wizard). Oh! I just saw something which I never saw before but sounds like what you need to install the printer drivers to the server. If you goto \\computername and then double clicks the printers folder, right click in here and goto Server Properties. Click the Drivers tab and then hit the Add button. Seems to be what you need. Providing all goes well and you see the windows drivers now in \\computername\print$ you should be able to setup the clients using the printer wizard and they *should* get the drivers from the server automatically now! Sorry it's all so rough, I really can't remember what I did exactly. If none of that seems to work then you could always try searching for samba cups on google. Maybe someone else can help more! | troubles getting the win2k clients to download the drivers from the print | server. | | thanks | | | ** | This e-mail message, including any attachment(s), is intended only for the | use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain | information that is privileged and/or confidential. | Lightship Telecom / www.lightship.com | | ___ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions | To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

lpt0 stopped working after upgrading
Hello, I recently upgraded to the latest -CURRENT and afterwards my printer would no longer print over Samba via CUPS. At first I thought it was a CUPS/Samba problem so I deinstalled and recompiled both of those but the problem still remains. CUPS recieves the print jobs ok and tries to print but in the web interface it says something along the lines of parallel port busy, retrying in 30 seconds... and indeed trying echo hello /dev/lpt0 says device busy. I deleted the printer from CUPS yesterday to discover that lpt0 is no longer in the drop down list where you select where the printer is attached (serial 0 and 1, parallel etc). I have unplugged the printer lead and tried too and I get the same device busy, but maybe that's supposed to happen if there's nothing plugged in? Also on boot the printer gets recognised properly with the lead in. I have also tried disabling ACPI in BIOS as I read somewhere that this may solve the problem, but it's the same :o) Can anyone help me? Should I post this to the current list instead?

Yet another panic... using /dev/speaker this time
Well I think I have worked around my other panic that I posted a few days ago by updating the modems firmware, atleast it doesn't panic under the situation it did last time. I still believe the bug exists somewhere though and i'm sure I could still reproduce it if anyone is interested. Just now I was playing about with /dev/speaker for a script I want to beep. I did an `echo a /dev/speaker` and it worked, but I decided I wanted it longer or some kind of pattern. I followed this by an `echo aaa /dev/speaker` and it worked :o) I then went on to read the man page and found out about raising and lowering octaves and pauses, so next I tried `echo aPa /dev/speaker` and indeed there was a pause. However, when I tried `echo aPa /dev/speaker` (which I think is wrong anyhow but never mind) my SSH session froze and I knew something had gone wrong. Unfortuantly the monitor had become unplugged from when I was fiddling about so I didn't get to see anything on screen, but I did get a coredump for what it's worth. It isn't from a debugging kernel either, if need be I can load a debugging kernel and see if I can reproduce it. ( I am beginning to think I never should have upgraded :o) ) Anyway, here goes nothing: --- IdlePTD at phsyical address 0x00361000 initial pcb at physical address 0x002bb620 panicstr: getnewbuf: locked buf panic messages: --- panic: lockmgr: pid 8486, not exclusive lock holder 7018 unlocking syncing disks... panic: getnewbuf: locked buf Uptime: 3d13h40m34s dumping to dev #ad/0x20001, offset 65664 dump ata0: resetting devices .. done 95 94 93 92 91 90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 80 79 78 77 76 75 74 73 72 71 70 69 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 --- #0 0xc015bea2 in dumpsys () (kgdb) bt #0 0xc015bea2 in dumpsys () #1 0xc015bc6c in boot () #2 0xc015c0a0 in poweroff_wait () #3 0xc0183d4f in getnewbuf () #4 0xc01849cf in geteblk () #5 0xc0182b8d in bwrite () #6 0xc018869f in vop_stdbwrite () #7 0xc01884b5 in vop_defaultop () #8 0xc0183006 in bawrite () #9 0xc01965b0 in spec_fsync () #10 0xc0214d48 in ffs_sync () #11 0xc018d74b in sync () #12 0xc015ba06 in boot () #13 0xc015c0a0 in poweroff_wait () #14 0xc0155e48 in lockmgr () #15 0xc0183698 in brelse () #16 0xc0260bea in spkrclose () #17 0xc019687f in spec_close () #18 0xc021cb06 in ufsspec_close () #19 0xc021d101 in ufs_vnoperatespec () #20 0xc01921a7 in vn_close () #21 0xc0192afe in vn_closefile () #22 0xc0150eb8 in fdrop () ---Type return to continue, or q return to quit--- #23 0xc0150dfc in closef () #24 0xc0150931 in fdfree () #25 0xc015381a in exit1 () #26 0xc015368d in sys_exit () #27 0xc0255361 in syscall2 () #28 0xc02466f5 in Xint0x80_syscall () #29 0x28084887 in ??

FreeBSD nat machine semi-crashing? with lots of connections going through it and a change of IP address
Hi all I am having a few problems with a FreeBSD gateway machine, as you may have guessed. A little bit of background info: I was running 4.8-R-pcan't remember for a long while, all running smooth. Whilst it was up I had cvsupped to 4.8-R-p18 was it? I think... anyhow, my brother tripped over the adsl line and it got unplugged so I took that oppertunity to installworld and installkernel and reboot. This is where my troubles seemed to have begun... Everything seemed normal until out of the blue the box appeared to have locked up on me and it was pretty close to a point where for whatever reason I got disconnected. It was a rather old 133MHz and I had a 350MHz machine laying around which I was going to swap over with it. I did that, just stuck the two network cards and hard disk into that PC booted up and it worked first go (I'm impressed :)) left it for a while, turned the modem off and back on and it locked up again very shortly after s I updated to 4.9-R-p2 to see if that would fix it, nope! Next up I tried swapping the outside ethernet card attached to the modem with a nicer fxp card, it was using an old 3com etherlink III card before that, but I had the same problem still! So i've come to believe it's got nothing to do with the hardware at all now? Anyway, I kept messing about and stuck a graphics card in and plugged a monitor in and noticed that just before it locked up I got flooded with icmp redirect messages lotsand it then occured to me that all this time I had overnet running on my windows machine which makes alot of connections, 30 to server things and then 1 for each download source person I think? So I closed that and repeated the tests and it didn't do it! As soon as I ran it again though, boom! I know it's a bit sad like, perhaps I shouldn't be bothered about it. but it's annoying me since I figured out what it is! Anyway, after fiddling and making it 'crash' (it never panics, just seemed to lockup) I starting hitting the keyboard ... mainly out of stress :) and hit the scroll lock key and noticed the cursor disappeared as if it was going to let me scroll on the console, pressed the up arrow or page up and it just went into a long continous beep. The next time I tried ctrl + break and it said something along the lines of 'no debugger in kernel'. So I went on to compile this kernel debugger... although I am not sure how useful it's going to be. I managed to force it to panic when it apparently freezes up and got a umm backtrace? from the core dump too: panic messages: --- panic: from debugger syncing disks... Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x10 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc02313e1 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc02a275c frame pointer = 0x10:0xc02a27b4 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = Idle interrupt mask = tty panic: from debugger Uptime: 12m1s dumping to dev #ad/0x20001, offset 65664 kgdb) bt #0 0xc015f5f2 in dumpsys () #1 0xc015f3bc in boot () #2 0xc015f809 in panic () #3 0xc011fa89 in db_panic () #4 0xc011fa27 in db_command () #5 0xc011faee in db_command_loop () #6 0xc0121cc7 in db_trap () #7 0xc024b312 in kdb_trap () #8 0xc025af4c in trap () #9 0xc024b561 in Debugger () #10 0xc02464a6 in scgetc () #11 0xc0242b65 in sckbdevent () #12 0xc023a217 in atkbd_intr () #13 0xc0267458 in atkbd_isa_intr () #14 0xc01c0b27 in ipfw_chk () #15 0xc01c3316 in ip_input () #16 0xc01c3997 in ipintr () #17 0xc024d679 in swi_net_next () I'm not to sure what else to say but I sure hope someone can help me out here, please? :o) Any more info needed just ask!

Re: Removing default installed BIND
I posted a message a while back, you can actually use the Makefile
flag -DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 to overwrite the base system bind8 :)
There's similar flags for OpenSSH and OpenSSL aswell.
No portupgrade (unsure, not had to install things without portupgrade for a
long while):
# make -DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 install clean
Portupgrade:
# portinstall -m '-DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9' bind9
With the portupgrade tools you can also look at /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
(I think) and look at MAKE_ARGS. Mine looks like this
MAKE_ARGS = {
'security/openssh-portable' = '-DOPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE',
'security/openssl' = '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE',
'net/bind9' = '-DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9'
}
Basically portupgrade/install will look at this and automatically add the
flags to the ports, so typing `portinstall bind9` with them in MAKE_ARGS,
will have the same effect of using `portinstall -m '-DBLA' bind9`. This is
especially handy when upgrading the ports as it will automatically overwrite
the base again.
I'm not sure what sort of cruft and old, unused files by bind9, would be
left over from bind8, if any. I had a look at some of the bind8 Makefiles
for the base system at /usr/src/contrib/bind/ for any deinstall targets,
which would be quite useful, but there were none. Probably for good reasons.
You will also want to do NOBIND=true in /etc/make.conf so you don't
overwrite bind9 in a buildworld.
If anyone has good reasons not to use -DPORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 I wouldn't
mind knowing, it's been working fine with me for a long while!

The easiest thing to do is install BIND9 from the ports, and set
named_program=/usr/local/sbin/named in /etc/rc.conf. This won't
remove
the version in the base system, but it will cause the newer version to
be
started at boot time.
If you really want to delete the default version, find and delete any
BIND-related files (the packing list for the ports version of BIND8 may
be
helpful here) before you install the port of BIND9. You should probably
also set `NO_BIND=true' in /etc/make.conf, so that you don't end up
building
them again at your next buildworld.
I have only attempted this once, though, and found the effort was not
rewarded with any real sense of achievement.
It doesn't seem to be a package.
It's not. It comes as part of the base system.

I have been using the bash under linux for years and I would like to configure in such a way under freebsd that it resembles my linux-settings as close as possible. I have already installed the bash as default shell, but I am stilg some things. I wolike ike to have colored ls-output and in jed nothing seems to be working. I cant acess the Menu with Alt+Key, Backspace does not work and I cant scroll down with page up /down. I also would like to be able to browse for example ls output with Shift-Page-Up/Down. How can I achive this ? I have just noticed another weird phenomen : When I use jed via ssh arrow key down scrolls down until jed itselfs vanished in the upper part of the screen. 2. I am currently creating a custom kernel config. ( I have read the manual in the handbook). But I still have some questions : What is with the modules ? Are options I comment out in the kernel automatically compiled as modules ? And does the GENERIC-File include all the possible kernel options ? I am a bit confused because I have not found an option for my Promise 133TX2. The Standard-Kernel recognizes it just fine. I also did not find even limited choices for sound card support. Thanks in Advance Hi, I'm not sure about your first question but in answer to your second questions... modules are built for every device by default, not just devices which don't exist in your kernel config. As for your second question, no :) GENERIC is just the config file for the GENERIC kernel, you will need to look at LINT in the kernel config directory for all available options (/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT), if you're using 5.x I think you have to do `make LINT` from /usr/src/sys/i386/ in order to get this file? Hope that clears things up a bit.

Use portupgrade (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade). Nice and easy.
Regards, Johan
Hi Johan,
Another option is to define OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE when building the openssl
port, this will install the port version where the base system openssl would
usually be. If not using portupgrade you would do something like
make -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE, if using portupgrade you have two options:
portinstall -m '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE' openssl or you can edit the
MAKE_ARGS variable in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf so it reads something
like
MAKE_ARGS = {
'security/openssl' = '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE',
'misc/some-other-port' = '-DMAKE_ARGUMENTS'
}
and then just run portinstall openssl (or portupgrade) and it'll
automagically add the flags. This is what I do with OpenSSH and OpenSSL.
Just an idea :p

Re: how to aggregate rules using ipfw2 ?
Hi!
I remember having difficulty getting this to work when I first got IPFW2,
turns out it wouldn't accept it because there _has_ to be a space between
the { and }.
For example...
ipfw add allow ip from any to { 192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8 }
not
ipfw add allow ip from any to {192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8}
