linux-f10-hal-libs
I've discovered a fix for certain videos using flashplayer on websites. Apparently they require hal to access the DRM (?!), so I've just whipped up a port to fix this. It has been done in a real hurry; unfortunately I don't have any further time to spend on this as I'm way over my head at the moment, but I hope this helps fix some issues for some. If there are any problems with the way I've set this up, can you let me know via this address and advice on the error would be very appreciated.

Would that have anything to do with the main problem though? I'm honestly not sure. The doc seem to indicate that it won't work without a fam daemon on the NFS server, so maybe that's the root of the errors. Ok. I'll give it a try. But why would it work with the NFS server - before the repair and without FAM - and not now? ___ 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
courier imap - unable to access shared folders: operation not supported
I'm really tearing my hair out here, this was working until I had to do a repair on the server hdd and rebuild it, and now I cannot work out why this has been working at all- no amount of googling even hints at what could be wrong. I'm trying to access shared folders on a courier-imap server and the client simply does nothing, the logs are very obscure as well, and it is on these that I have been focusing my searches on and then trying generalisations: Jul 9 12:59:29 server1 imapd: FAMCancelMonitor: Broken pipe Jul 9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: shared-folders/shared-folder/tmp/1373338770.M51083P2034_sync.server: Operation not supported Jul 9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: FAMCancelMonitor: Broken pipe Jul 9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: shared-folders/shared-folder/tmp/1373338770.M453207P2034_sync.server: Operation not supported Jul 9 12:59:30 server1 imapd: FAMCancelMonitor: Broken pipe Jul 9 12:59:50 server1 imapd: LOGIN, user=user1, ip=IP, port=[59585], protocol=IMAP Jul 9 13:00:12 server1 imapd: LOGIN, user=user2, ip=IP, port=[30542], protocol=IMAP Jul 9 13:03:44 server1 imapd: end from FAM server connection Jul 9 13:03:59 server1 imapd: FAMPending: timeout Jul 9 13:05:18 server1 imapd: couriertls: read: Connection reset by peer Jul 9 13:05:18 server1 imapd: DISCONNECTED, user=user2, ip=IP, headers=0, body=0, rcvd=314, sent=25847, time=306, starttls=1 I cannot find any references anywhere on this at all. The server has a mail store over NFS located on a ZFS fileserver, nothing has changed as such in the transition and it was working before the hdd repair was done. The only change I tried in the past 5 mins was turning the enhancedidle switch in the conf, and all that produced was the FAM errors you can see. Does anyone have any clues to this?

ps, clang and make variables
Stupid question, but I need to clarify and make sure I'm right here: what should I see as the running process if clang is compiling? ATM I see cc1plus. I'm trying to set CC and friends make variables to clang for a build, but it doesn't appear to be 'sticking'. It seems to change the shell env to bash, but that shouldn't be the problem. So I'm trying to work out whats up. FWIW I'm trying to build libreoffice with clang as it doesn't build, or more accurately doesn't build and test correctly. It doesn't appear to honor the CC variables (CC, CXX, CPP, etc). Worth a shot anyway :) Cheers ___ 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
Re: FBSD-9.0-RC3 Disk 1 ISO Bootable?

However the CD does not boot. Just wanted to confirm that it is supposed to be bootable. Also, is there a DVD version? I don't have many CDs around my house but plenty of DVDs. :) Hi Drew, and welcome to FreeBSD. How did you 'burn' the disc? As an iso image (in Windows) you can open any burning program and tell it to burn it as is; you don't need to extract any contents. This is the usual problem if it won't boot. Alternatively, you can try making an installer on a usb disk. I'd recommend at least a 2Gb stick, preferably 4G. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html section 3.3.5.

D-VFS: coming soon?
I just stumbled on this on my way to another issue. Is there any support on this in FreeBSD yet? I know its only new, but just checking... Its run by the freedesktop developers and is using an MIT license, I believe its supposed to run parallel to Xorg and negate opposing APIs by providing a common feature for all WMs and apps- as well as support them as a temporary measure.

Re: Installation difficulties

The jewel case is marked with a date of May 2009, so it is a little behind. But I expected it to boot the i386 version installer, which it did on an Intel 64 bit processor. The 64 bit version is marked 'AMD64'. I would have gotten a laptop with AMD but this particular seller (Linux Certified) did not have one available when I was ready to buy. So now I am at it because the warrantee on the laptop has expired. So, I installed x-developer and attempted to install Apache from the included ports. None of the listed version would install: error code -1. I also tried MySQL. The first time it also failed to install. But did sysinstall and tried a different version than originally selected, and it did install. Since I wanted the GUI, I ran xinit when I got a shell prompt and xwindows failed to load and run, the error is failed to load module fbdev (module does not exist). Perhaps this is not an issue that can be addressed practically, here, which is alright with me. But short of getting another DVD and trying to install from that is there a way to deal, at least with the fbdev complaint? My experience with FreeBSD goes back to 6.0, setting up and running servers, specifically web servers. This is going to be a development server, as it had been when it had Ubuntu Linux. Thank you for time and attention; JK I'd download at least 8.2 (amd64 if you like, but you can stick to i386), and do a basic install (no ports or packages- yet). Once running execute freebsd-update fetch install as root, then portsnap fetch extract. With that done, then go into ports and install what you want from there by entering the directory of the port you want to install (say www/apache22) and running make install clean. You'll have options to select and away you go. If you can wait a few weeks (9.0-Release guys: back me up :) ), install the disk you have there and install in the same way so you have something to play around with and get your feet wet until 9. Or try 9.0-RC3, you can get release using freebsd-update. And above all: to do that you are going to become very good friends with the FreeBSD Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ HTH ___ 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
9.0 install and journaling
I bit the bullet and installed the rc3, after spending half the day fighting to get atheros 9285 working on a new laptop. I have to do another as well, so... After recovering myself from the shock of the new bsdinstall (not bad. A little confusing after using sysinstall for so long), I installed the system with 1 (thats right One! Ah ha ha) partition - yet another shock to figure through. What I'm staggered about is I was using fdisk to setup journaling on the usr and var partitions. So I went to the handbook. I'm still a little confused though: can one still setup the usr and var (and so forth)? It said you possibly could, but it escaped me as to how. And before I do- I looked up journaling on 9. I couldn't quite get to the bottom of whether it is or isn't available/standard, or how to determine its happening. I'm only interested because of unexpected shutdowns/battery dead on the laptop- I also have 500G which is a while to wait for fsck. Speed I'd like, but I have to consider system integrity first. Little light, please?
