Re: automount usb flash drive?
Seems like the only thing that will work for me is to make a one-line shell script. I tried the various things you mentioned. I have yet to look at how to use amd(8). Setting vfs.usermount=1 and changing the ownership to the user name in question allows me to mount the usbkey without su'ing. I still can't get the usbd.conf to run an attach command on the umass* action. Thanks for your help.

For devices you can plug in at runtime you should use /etc/devfs.rules: [foobar=10] add path 'da*s*' mode 0666 And you should have the following in /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset=foobar The contents of devfs.rules are fed to devfs(8), so see it's manual page. when I do the following command line command the usb flash drive mount fine # mount /mnt/usbkey But, when I'm in KDE viewing media:/ Removable Device (da0s1) is shown is unmounted. At the user level command line and in KDE, I receive /dev/da0s1: Operation not permitted. For a user to be able to use a filesystem, there are a couple of things that need to be done: - The sysctl variable vfs.usermount must be set to 1 (in /etc/sysctl.conf). - The user in question must own the mount point. I'm not sure if part of the issue is permissions or if I'm missing a piece for the auto-mounting to happen. I think the latter. Normally usbd(8) is notified of USB events, but in this case it seems to get events for the umass* device, not the da*s* device that you'll want to use. There have been people who've used a shell-script called by usbd to figure out the connection between umass-da from dmesg output and then mount the filesystem, but that doesn't do umounts. It's also complicated if you want it to work for multiple users, unless you give it 777 permissions. You could also give amd(8) a try. I found that making a one-line shell script to do the mounting is much less hassle. Roland -- R.F.

Issue compiling JDK15
Hi, I've been attempting to compile JDK15 on my AMD64 laptop. I have linux redhat 8 installed for linux compatibility and the linux-sun-jdk1.4.2 installed so that the /usr/ports/java/jdk15 would use the appropriate javac compiler to compile JDK15 natively. I reach a point where I receive the following message. execv(): Bad address Error trying to exec /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/javac. Check if file exists and permissions are set correctly. gmake[3]: *** [.compile.classlist] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java/java' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java' gmake[1] *** [all] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make' gmake: *** [j2se-build] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk15.

Re: Cannot use cvsup with 5.3-release
I ran into a problem like that when I did an upgrade to 5.4-prelease. I found for me, that for port updates it seems to look at your release level in your options. I went into root and ran sysinstall. I selected Options. At the bottom of the left hand column is the option Release Name. I changed it to 5.3-RELEASE. I'd probably check there, another thing I'll do is try a couple other cvsup sites.

Re: Hardware problems after installing 5.4 pre-release
I've tried installing gnome and windowmaker to test the sound. Each act the same as KDE. Mplayer works with sound but nothing else. I, also, installed xmms and tested, no sound. The sound graphics are idle, seeming to indicate that the sound is not being generated in the applications. I, also, tried the command line app cdcontrol. # cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 no sound.

Hardware problems after installing 5.4 pre-release
I'm running FreeBsd/amd64 on a Gateway 7422GX. I installed the 5.3-release version and configured the OS to function properly with the hardware except for the built-in wireless and the infamous conexant softmodem. I read up on some wireless setups to get my wireless card working. In the process, I decided to try my first attempt at a rebuild of world with the latest cvsup stable-supfile download (March 24, 2005). I used the method of: # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # reboot selected singleuser mode from startup menu # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # swapon -a # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot (MYKERNEL is the GENERIC plus the lines needed for loading the sound system and the via8233 sound driver for my sound card) device sound device snd_via8233 (with mergemaster I chose i for each file, indicating to use tempory) I booted into the new environment and started KDE3.4. I noticed that I had no sound and no usb mouse functionality. I did the following: # cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: VIA VT8235 at io 0x1000 irq 10 (5p/1r/0v channels duplex default) So, the driver seems to be loading, but I'm getting no sound. I've, also, done the following to try to get the sound back. # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=8 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=8 I checked my mixer levels in KDE and added hint.pcm.0.vol=100 to the /boot/device.hints being that the usb mouse also stopped working, I think there might be an issue with the hardware discovery routines in bootup or a configuration file that 5.3 used was overwritten with the rebuilding of world. I'm quite new to FreeBSD and am trying to get a good grasp on the general workings of the OS. So, assume that I need step by step guidelines. Perhaps, since I'm dealing with a pre-release, some of the functionality is missing by design. I have assumed that STABLE would mean that functioning hardware from the prior release will continue functioning with STABLE. I've stayed clear of CURRENT assuming things may often be broken in that branch, as it is experimental. Any help in enlightening me on my hardware issues will be greatly appreciated. # uname -a FreeBSD Todds-Notebook.linksys 5.4-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Mar 24 14:26:05 UTC 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL amd64 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
