Shared library not found after upgrade to 9.2-PRERELEASE
I recently upgraded a system to FreeBSD t42.umpquanet.com 9.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-PRERELEASE #0 r254977: Wed Aug 28 19:58:37 PDT 2013 r...@t42.umpquanet.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 I then deleted all the installed ports, and am rebuilding the ones I still use. I've encountered several instances where although a required port is already installed, a dependent port build will claim that the required library isn't found, and attempt a (re-)install of that port. In this example, jbig2dec claims that shared library libpng15.so is not found, although 'ls' says it is in /usr/local/lib, and 'make missing' reports no uninstalled dependencies. What can I do to remedy this, short of setting FORCE_PKG_REGISTER and spending a lot of time rebuilding ports that are already installed? Please Cc: me on replies. Thank you!

sleepycat db VS MySQL or postgres
I have a rather extensive series of databases created and in use all with the very old sleepycat db3. I believe in the addage "don't fix what ain't broken", but in the case of db3, it IS broken and my db files get corrupted on occasion. I could move to db5 or db6 OR MySQL, or even postgres. I use simple primary key files, most entries are added from a CLI or termcap/curses screen. Some programatically. With about the same number of sequential dumps vs indexed random reads. I have no experience with the c interface for postgres or mysql, but also, do not know how much the c interface has changed for sleepycat 5/6 compared to the c interface for db3, which I understand quite well. So I am prepared for a learning curve irrespective of which platform I select. Records do not exceed much more than 10-20,000, with key sizes not much wider than 16 bytes (ipv4), 13 (mac), 32 (ipv6). And various smaller key sizes. Suggestions would be very much appreciated. -- Jim Pazarena fqu...@paz.bz ___ 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"

Installing openssl from ports
Hi, I understand that heimdal and openssl are both port of the base system and both install fine with a system build/install. But when I attempt to install the latest openssl for the port system, it fails with a conflict (installs file in the same place) with heimdal. I've search the web for an answer but haven't found one and asked the port owner. So my question is short of editing the Make file to remove the installation of the file in conflict, what do I need to do to install the openssl port?

VPS FreeBSD Hosting
I gave up maintaining my own hardware for providing cloud computing services about 10 years ago and have been using several dedicated server services with root-access FreeBSD since about 6.0. with good results. At the time VPS looked like too many problems. Now, however, it looks like there are quite a number of mature VPS hosting services that are FreeBSD-centric at very attractive prices. Most offer KVM or VPS-instance access to allow rebooting and reinstallation. Can anyone comment on the providers and the technology in the context of having used them specifically for FreeBSD in the last few years? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Fairly modest duty - spam filtering, mailboxes, websites, storage, reverse proxy and the like. Oh yeah, some development.

kde4 on 8.3 and laptop

The mouse has gone dead, and the keyboard doesn't respond, altho there is a prompt in the cli window. All I can do at this point is hold the power button in to reboot. If I do not try running "kdm", the normal cli works 100%, the ethernet works, and the mouse always seems alive (altho in the cli the mouse is of no value).

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
This sounds just like a race condition that happens under Windows 7 on this laptop. The race condition, as far as I can tell involves heavy disk access and heavy network access, and usually leaves the drive light on, while all activity monitors (alldisk, allcpu, allnetwork) are still active, although on this laptop disk takes priority, and network slows to a crawl. occasionally, the mouse will stop working, along with everything else, but usually not. keyboard is lower priority, and doesn't do anything. You might want to check with mickeysoft, this might just be their problem. This sounds so freaking similar to the issue I get, and I think it's a race condition (shared interrupts??).

ESXi: Confirmed ESXi 4.0 - 5.0 has this problem. Haven't tested on others. History: Over the course of the last 2 years we've been banging our heads on the wall. VMWare is done debugging this. They claim it's not a VMWare issue. They can't identify what the heck happens. We had a glimmer of hope with ESXi 5.0 fixing it because we never saw any crashes in the handful of deployments, but our dreams were crushed today -- two days before an outage to begin migration to ESXi 5.0 -- when a customer's ESXi 5.0 server and FreeBSD 8.2 guest crashed. Crash Details: The keyboard/mouse usually stops responding for input on the console; normally we can't type in a username or password. However, we can switch VTs. If there's a shell on the console and we can type, we can only run things in memory. Any time we try to access the disk it will hang indefinitely. The server still has network access. We can ping it without issue. SSH of course kicks you out because it can't do any I/O. If we were to serve a lightweight http server off a memory backed filesystem I'm confident it would run just fine as long as it wasn't logging or anything. On ESXi you see that there is a CPU spike of 100% that goes on indefinitely. No idea what the FreeBSD OS itself thinks it is doing because we can't run top during the crash. This crash can affect a server and happen multiple times a week. It can also not show up for 180 days or more. But it does happen. The server can be 100% idle and crash. We have servers that do more I/O than the ones that crash could ever attempt to do and these don't crash at all. Completely inexplicable. Things we've looked into: Nothing about the installed software matters. We've tried cross referencing the crashed servers by the programs they run but the base OS is the only common denominator due to the wide variety of servers it has affected. Storage doesn't matter. We've tried different iSCSI SANs, we've tried different switches, we've tried local datastores on the ESXi servers themselves. HP servers, Dell servers -- doesn't seem to matter either. (All with latest firmwares, BIOSes, etc) VMWare gave us a ton of debugging tasks, and we've given them gigabytes of debugging info and data; they can't find anything. VMWare tools -- with, without, using open-vm-tools makes no difference. I think we've done a fair job ruling out VMWare. I think we've finally found enough data that this is definitely something in the FreeBSD world. I'm going to begin prepping some of the known crashy servers with more debugging. Any suggestions on what I should build the kernel with? They never do a proper panic, but I definitely want to at least *try* to get into the debugger the next time it crashes. And when it crashes, what the heck should I be running? I've never played with the KDB before...

freeradius on freebsd
I am having issues with freeradius being told system passwords are incorrect by freebsd, where I know they are not wrong. I think it relates to freeradius submitting crypt passwords while freebsd defaults to MD5. Has anyone encountered this issue on FreeBSD?

can't find installed executables
Hallo, I'm kind of new to FreeBSD and installed the latest version a few days ago, it gave me the option to install some packages and I chose some of them like 'FlightGear' for example.But now I don't know how to execute this game or any other program I got installed. I can find the folder and it's like /usr/ports/games/flightgear but there is the Makefile so I think that is the installation folder and i also tried to install it but than it shows me that it is already installed.Could you tell me which one is the executable and how to run it or where I can find it?

The "ag" library is libagar ( http://libagar.org/ ):
The code amounts to the following:
void * coredl = dlopen("/usr/local/lib/libag_core.so", 0)
void * guidl = dlopen("/usr/local/lib/libag_gui.so", 0)
and the function:
int (*AG_InitCore)(const char * title, int flags);
int (*AG_InitGraphics)(const char * drv);
*((void *)AG_InitCore) = dlsym(coredl, "AG_InitCore");
*((void *)AG_InitGraphics) = dlsym(guidl, "AG_InitGraphics");
The prototypes for the AG_* functions match.
Thanks,

dovecot/jail question
First, Thanks all for the help with my previous "sendmail" question. I rebuilt the jail without postfix and that at least seems happy. The main question; has anyone built/ran dovecot in a jail? It runs fine on the host system fine, but if I put it in a jail, I get issues with the !import_try command. I'm going to try some things to fix it, and it could have been something I've done in my setup. I want to see if this is a jail-specific issue.

sendmail issues - make fails to create aliases.db in /etc/mail
make in /etc/mail fails (silently) to create aliases.db. I touched all
the source files I modified to make sure they would be rebuilt (since
the last rebuild failed). What I am finding is that the command
"/usr/sbin/sendmail -bi -OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases" is not creating
aliases.db, nor is it creating any errors. I tried running
`/usr/sbin/sendmail -v -bi -OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases`, but aw no
errors from that, either.
Anyone experienced something like this before and have suggestions on
what I should examine next?
Thanks,

So, make/build/run a normal jail using the 64 bit os "world", add -m32 to the make.conf CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, build stuff in the jail, and copy it to main (non-jailed) system, and run ldconfig on the library directories?

32 bit ports on an AMD64 system
I want to compile some 32 bit ports on an AMD64 system.

jail/system crash with mount_unionfs
OS: FreeBSD 7.2 release / Generic kernel I used CSUP to download the source tree, and the RELENG_7_2, no date specified. I didn't rebuild the base OS world/kernel. I have installed a lot of ports on the main system, most of what the jail would need is also already installed - so the distfiles and ports directories are already setup to speed of the install process. I figured I'd save time and effort and use unionfs to allow both systems to use the same ports directory (to be safe, I won't compile things from both systems at the same time, but keeping the same ports directory was fine. I followed the jail creation instructions in the handbook posted on the www.freebsd.org Once the jail was created, I made a script to union the ports directories: ts.org_mount_ports #!/bin/sh mount_unionfs /usr/ports /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports/ I also have my jail shell startup script: ts.org_shell #!/bin/sh jail -s 2 /data/jail/ts.org/ ts.org.mydomain 192.168.1.83 /bin/sh [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_mount_ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports ... ports directory listing omitted [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ sudo ./ts.org_shell # cd /usr/ports # ls The base operating system hangs at this point. later: [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ ls ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail]$ cd ts.org/usr/ports [s...@boromir /data/jail/ts.org/usr/ports]$ cp -rf /usr/ports/* .

brooktree 878[A?] + samsung S5H1411 + PCI
I'm looking at getting a card that has this, and this is the info I've found. It looks like all of the tuner codes are in the driver. Could anyone give me an estimate of how likely it would be that I could add the tuners entry to "/usr/src/sys/dev/bktr/bktr_card.c" i.e. add an entry in the "static const struct CARDTYPE cards[]" array? What other arrays/values/files would I need to mess with? I'm guessing I'd have to enter a card ID somewhere, a tuner ID somewhere, and that array I listed *looks* like it has the card and tuner control definitions. Am I correct?

cannot make/mount ext2 partition
I'm trying to create an EXT2 partition so I can share files between FreeBSD and any other operating system I put on the computer, without the limitations of FAT32. My kernel config is the generic kernel, with a bunch of SCSI, RAID and network drivers, MD_ROOT and NFS_ROOT commented out. However, once I'm done making the partition, I can't mount it. When I try mounting it, I get the following error. mount: /dev/ad8s1 : Operation not supported by device Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

fairly low level - ld-elf.so.1/rtld_verify_versions() question
I have a library that is failing to load. Eventually I managed to play
with ld-elf so I could figure out what was wrong (jail -> build the
ld-elf in the jail with some printfs)
Anyway, I have a lot of test cases that seem to compile/load fine, but
one compiles fine but always fails to load, I found /why/ it fails,
but I don't know what in my library would cause the issues.
It looks like a versioning failure for libc.so.7:
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2807e000)
What would cause this, but not cause failures on other libraries I've
built on the same system?
* Between successes and failures I have not rebuilt anything other
than the successful and failing libraries.
Thanks,

You'll probably need an updated DRM driver as well. ok, it looks like the radeon (no HD) driver is part of the xf86-video-ati driver, and by the size of the ati_drv.so file, I'm guessing most of what ati_drv.so does is access and control the access of radeon_drv, correct? I wonder why there's no cutoff for the 3D functionality in the ATi driver's man page. It just lists all supported cards without mention of which have 3D implementations (try `man radeon`). -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

ATi & Intel graphics
At some point fairly soon, I'll be rebuilding my computer, and I want three things. 64 Bit for more memory, maybe a bit of performance boost as well - it's mostly a multimedia machine decent/good 3D acceleration (better than a GeForce 7300GS - a few games in WINE in 1920x1080 - yes, believe it or not, the 7300GS doesn't do /bad/ on many of the games, but it certainly could be better). FreeBSD. I've used Solaris and Linux, and honestly, I'd rather go back to Windows and use Cygwin for my *nix needs. I'd rather use FreeBSD for the system than Windows. 64 Bit immediately knocks out the thoughts on using an nVidia card. Has anyone had much experience with a 3600 series ATi card, it's the best in the discreet-video category for my target price/performance, but not listed in the man pages for the Radeon (non-HD) - only the 3400s and the 3800s). Aside from that, going for the really cheap end, has anyone had much experience with the Intel 4500HD chipsets yet? I'm lousy with other people's code (barely good with my own), but I could test if needed, if/when I get the board. Could anyone give me some of their experiences here? How are your experiences with these pieces of hardware and their drivers in terms of stability/reliability (in FreeBSD of course)? Are either of these setups in a place where a tester would be needed/welcome?

terminology question - upgrading one port with another
I'm trying to update something (actually install KDE4), and In need to make an 'update chain', but I can't remember the proper term. Namely I have port found in 'foo/abc' (abc-12345) and want to replace it with 'var/xyz'. I know there are several ways to do this (one involving entries in a file in etc?), but I cannot come up with the proper terms to find what I'm looking for in a search? Can anyone tell me a few terms that might help with this one? I've tried compbinations of "port", "upgrade", "search" and "different", but that (unsurprisingly) isn't getting anywhere.

DNS troubles
I'm trying to get a machine working, but it can't seem to handle DNS requests. I've just done a 7.0 install (from CD, usually I use net, but it wasn't connecting to anything, now I know why). I have a machine with two built in NICs on the motheroboard, one using nfe the other using bge. When I try to connect to anything, I get a "cannot resolve host error". Both are set up to be static, 192.168.1.84, and bge is 192.168.1.86. I have tried both "192.168.1.1" (the router, which points to the ISPs DNS) and "4.2.2.1" in the /etc/resolve.conf file, each separately, not both at once. The machine can ping both of these addresses and gets a decent to rapid return time (~.3ms for the former, <20ms for the latter) Neither works on this machine. Both work on the other FreeBSD and Windows machines in the house. I have the machine set to dual boot, and DNS works fine under Windows. I tried DHCP without an luck. The previous install on this machine just worked. What I *SUSPECT* is the biggest clue (my guess, check an rc.d file, which?) During boot up, after showing the network interfaces, until showing the login prompt, the terminal gets spammed with "b: not found". Up to this point: -> I installed it once with a boot only CD and it worked fine, but being absent minded, I reinstalled thinking it would be the quickest/easiest way to fix an issue, and the install I had wasn't really 'set-up' yet. -> The DNS checker (bind?) wasn't working properly during the first reinstall. Sadly, I found this out after reformatting the partitions. -> I re-burned the CD with CD1 (not boot only), and tried again - DNS still didn't work. -> I installed from CD. Process for current install: -> I installed i386/7.0 from Install Disk 1, minimal install + dict, man, info and doc -> I set the root password during the install -> I updated the /etc/ssh* files to the files from my old system (I can ssh into the computer fine) -> I copied over the rc.conf and modified the NIC and startup entries (see below) -> I added if_tap_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf (this was AFTER the DNS issues had started) -> set the values in /etc/resolve.conf -> I copied /etc/supfile-ports and /etc/supfile-src from the old install. These are pretty boring supfiles for ports and src respectively. -> I added my non-root account (so I could ssh in) That's it. Any ideas? My suspicion is that my next step will be 'rebuild bind from within /usr/src wherever it resides in there'. However, since it wasn't working during install or now, I suspect that won't be enough.

freebsd library loading question
I'm hoping this is the right place to ask: I'm working on something in
FreeBSD 7.0 (i386) and GCC:
I'm getting the following error when executing a program:
dlerror -> Invalid shared object handle 0x0
the full context is:
DEBUG: ../include/ctypeless_dyn_unix.h(00310) ->Loading library:
ctypeless.so
Error loading ctypeless library: -1
dlerror -> Invalid shared object handle 0x0
which comes from the lines:
int ret = 0;
if(!dlname)
dlname = "ctypeless.so";
CT_DEBUG1("Loading library: %s\n\n", dlname);
void *dlhandle = dlopen(dlname, RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);
if(dlerror())
{
printf("Error loading ctypeless library: %d\n dlerror -> %s\n",
test, dlerror());
return -1;
}
Am I correct in assuming this is because the program is not finding
the library? I tried putting the ctypeless.so library in
/usr/local/lib, but that did not fix the issue.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong (or a better place to ask)?
Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton

I thought most filesystems had a file-entry section, with all the metadata, permissions, etc, and a file data section, which contains the information of the actual file. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if the metadata being edited were corrupted, but to corrupt the file data/location seems odd to me.

I assume I trace XMMS and not the FLAC library? I'll try when I get home.

Re: filesystem information

Actually, the whole model line was defective, so they are sending me a new one, and I have to wait for it to arrive. > Without a UPS nothing can protect you against power outages.

If the > power fails when a write is in progress, you're screwed. I'm aware of nothing but a UPS can completely protect me from an outage. I was just wondering why that ONE file system was misbehaving, and the rest are prefectly fine - which seemed odd. Additionally, why were files that are read, but not written, being lost? I can understand losing files that are being written, but if there's a file that has bene written several restarts ago, not written to thereafter, and has been fine ever since, why is it being lost now? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

filesystem information
I have a computer that is in a situation where it is losing power occasionally. All but one of the filesystems are going along fine. Once file system seems to lose data on a power outage. Even if it only reads a file, and doesn't write it, it may still lose a file (ex, about half the audio files on my xmms playlist, a couple data files in my wine directory that, to my knowledge, are unlikely to be written after they are first installed). What I'd like to do is get an output of the flags and options on my filesystems to see what is different between that filesystem and the others. Any suggestion on how to do that? This particular FS has lasted through several rebuilds since it doesn't hold OS critical stuff, just data files. Also, to fix the problem, I have to delete the problematic files, and then copy them over from backup or another computer. If I simply copy them, for some reason the problem persists. I don't think it's a bad disk, because all of the filesystems are on the same disk, and this is the only one acting strange. Any suggestions?

As for the second, that seems to be 'how to get an ISP', which he already has researched, he is more looking to /be/ the ISP. > To keep power down you probably want to opt for a dedicated wireless router > box not a computer (unless you are also saving bandwidth with squid etc). > And to generate electricity use wind or solar. Do you know of a wireless router that can provide individual user authentication, without requiring a complex setup? Some places may not want to pay for the internet connection, so he'll need to 'rent out' connection bandwidth to other vendors.

Best solution - mobile wifi hotspot
My dad makes instruments and goes to a lot of festivals. They are typically in the middle of nowhere, without internet. Many vendors still bring notebooks as they provide quick & easy access to many things, but there is no internet. For credit cards, many use their cell phones to make the transaction. My dad wants to get a satellite connection (pure sattelite, no phone), and set up something to offer a wireless hotspot. - Some shows will just pay a flat fee, and have the hotspot open. - Some shows won't pay a fee, and so he'll want to charge to recover some of the cost. For the open hotspots, a simple wireless router will do. For the charge hotspots, we'd want something a little more flexible. My first thought was 'FreeBSD can do that!'. The trick is that we will be using battery power most of the time. Low power is the key. I'm thinknig sub-20W max power drain worst case, SUB 10-15W is ideal. With that background info, my questions are: 1) Is building a low power computer based on FreeBSD the right way to go? Or would you all recommend something else? What? 2) Does anyone have experience with the GeodeNX or VIA C7 boards available on NewEgg? Heads ups and pointers? 3) Does anyone have experiences with these and a given wireless adaptor, How good/bad is/was it?

How long have you been running 6.2-stable? How long ago did this start occurring? Is it i386, amd64? Maybe you have bad memory.

(failing eyesight, but not > that bad *hopefully*) I couldn't find a button/menu to perform a grammar check of a document either. However, after installing the abiword-plugins port (grammar was not turned on by default), a 'check grammar as you type' showed up in the edit->preferences window. "I don't know to how check grammar", had a green line under 'how' when I was done. That was the closest I could find.

OK, I finally got to test it last night. It almost worked. I ran it from the console, and it spit out the command line. Something on the command line looked obviously off to me (I think it was the iface= part of the network section), anyway, I copied & pasted it, added the tap0 reference, and it works perfectly.
