Do you have any strange fonts loaded? There have been reports of X crashes when Mozilla is used with non-standard X fonts. Well, fonts generally reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. You can see what your font path is by doing xset q. If you have any non-standard font directories configured, remove them, and see if the problem goes away. If you've added non-standard fonts to any of the standard directories, you'll probably have to remove all font dirs, and reinstall all the XFree86 font ports/packages. Not sure what non standard is exactly (fonts have never been an area that I've paid much attention to before). Here is the font section from 'xset q'.

problems 'make'ing ports
Hi All, I have been having several problems build ports. I just installed 4.7, and used cvsupit to update to the latest ports tree (nightly) and track the -STABLE branch (/usr/src). When I build ports I often get really lame errors like 'Unknown character /' in some source file. What it turns out to be is a comment, like: // This is a comment. Changing it to: /* This is a comment */ Fixes the problem. I get other errors too, but I am starting to question whether something else is wrong here. Is my make.conf too strict or something? I copied it from the examples, (/usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf) and did *very* little in customization... My CFLAGS looks like this: CFLAGS= -O -pipe -Wall -ansi What could be the problem here? Or is the compiler I'm using just not like '//' used as comments? I also can't successfully 'make buildworld'... And about 50% of the time I try to install a port that just won't build, so I have to use 'pkg_add'. Any tips greatly appreciated. -- Nick Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
port utils not working (ruby memory error)
Hi All, I've been having trouble with the ports over the past few days. I had done a port update with cvsup. Then a portupgrade -a. Since then metacity has been dropping core every hour or so it seems, and generally acting wierd. I did another port update today with cvsup, and then 'portupgrade -Rrf metacity'. This didn't seem to fix much, however it seems now that my portupgrade port (that which provides portupgrade, portversion, port* etc.) does not work anymore. su-2.05b# portversion -v [Updating the pkgdb format:bdb1_btree in /var/db/pkg ... - 260 packages found (-2 +3) (...)[Updating the pkgdb format:bdb1_btree in /var/db/pkg ... - 260 packages found (-2 +3) (...)/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:224:in `origin': Cannot allocate memory: Cannot update the pkgdb!] (PkgDB::DBError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkginfo.rb:178:in `origin' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:301:in `check_pkgs' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:300:in `each' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:300:in `check_pkgs' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:260:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:77:in `initialize' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:77:in `new' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:77:in `main' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:347 su-2.05b# Same stuff happens when I use any of the portupgrade applications.

With respect to you suggestion though, presuming that I am supposed to add the external IP address for Demon in the zone file, what then becomes of Demon's *internal* address? That is to say, running nslookup from another lan box I would like Demon's 192.168. address returned, but running nslookup on www.vickiandstacey.com should return the *external address (which is what I saw earlier this morning). From what I gather about the situation, (please correct me if I'm completely off base), you'd like external queries to only be able to lookup *.vickiandstacey.com (and get the public IP), and internal queries to get the internal IP of our server. Correct? I believe you will need to setup two nameservers, one bound to each physical interface on your box (external and internal). From your e-mail advice last evening, I thought that the new set up I would attempting to implement would have then involved enabling my local boxes to use Demon to resolve local machine names, but for external addresses, my nameserver set-up would be such that these queries would then be passed to my ISP's NS's. Ok, now I'm confused. So you mean, you want external requests to go to your ISP's nameserver? and your internal requests to go to your local LAN nameserver? Set your workstations to use your internal nameserver as primary DNS. Maybe one of these two scenarios is what you want to be doing? - Nick Jennings - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

problems mounting extended partitions and fdisk.
Hi All, I am trying to access a logical partition on a second disk in this machine. It is a Linux partition (ext3). I am having trouble because, first of all the device does not seems to exist, second of all, I cannot even get into an interactive fdisk to see if it's there at all. I have been able to access this partition from other linux installs on this machine. I am not sure if this is normal behavior or not, but whenever I try to use 'fdisk' it just prints out some partition information, and does not put me into an interactive mode, where I can view things in detail, and perhaps change things. su-2.05b# fdisk /dev/ad1 *** Working on device /dev/ad1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=2586 heads=240 sectors/track=63 (15120 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=2586 heads=240 sectors/track=63 (15120 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 63, size 151137 (73 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 9/ head 239/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86) start 151200, size 680400 (332 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 10/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 54/ head 239/ sector 63 The data for partition 3 is: sysid 131,(Linux filesystem) start 831600, size 483840 (236 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 55/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 86/ head 239/ sector 63 The data for partition 4 is: sysid 5,(Extended DOS) start 1315440, size 37784880 (18449 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 87/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 239/ sector 63 su-2.05b# The reason I wanted to view this disk with fdisk is because for some reason I am unable to mount one of the extended partitions on this disk (I think it's ext3 if that matters, which I don't think it does).
