Scanner HP 5200C: can someone please help me? I'm lost!
Hi, I have an HP 5200C scanner, attached over USB. OS is FreeBSD 4-Stable. In the kernel configuration file, I have this for usb support: device scbus # SCSI bus (required) device da # Direct Access (disks) device uhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device uscanner# Scanners Recompiled everything etc. etc. Now I'm trying to get through the information on this scanner FreeBSD. I'm quite familiar with managing FreeBSD, but here I'm totally lost. I get this: # sane-find-scanner [...] found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device /dev/uscanner0 # xscanimage /dev/uscanner0 pops up a dialog that says Failed to open device '/dev/uscanner0'. Invalid argument. # xscanimage [xscanimage] No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by sane-find-scanner (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). In various manuals (too many talk about linux only) I learn that I should configure/tell the kernel about the vendor and product. I know how to (re)compile the kernel etc. but how do I tell the kernel that I have an HP 5200C scanner? Help is very much appreciated.

mergemaster: schg flag for temproot/var/emtpy ??
Hi, I am trying to learn the buildworld and mergemaster process from the Handbook. The handbook says: [...] To begin simply type mergemaster at your prompt, and watch it start going. [..] SO I did type mergemaster and all went well. Decided then to remove the temproot directory, but failed! # rm -rf /var/tmp/temproot rm: /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty: Operation not permitted rm: /var/tmp/temproot/var: Directory not empty rm: /var/tmp/temproot/: Directory not empty Took me a long while to figure out the /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty direcoty has the schg flag set. Very, very confusing. Is there any reason why it is like that? If not, then do not create the empty directory with schg !!

Q: mergemaster 'm'-merge option results in empty file
Hi, I'm trying to get grip of mergemaster. Either my logic is up-side-down or mergemaster is not so intuitive, but learning mergemaster seems a tough process for me. My problem now: # mergemaster -v This does some things, and then presents me a list of files that are only in my installed /etc directory. Ok, understand that. It then also takes me file by file to make a decision as: Use 'd' to delete the temporary ./etc/hosts Use 'i' to install the temporary ./etc/hosts Use 'm' to merge the temporary and installed versions Use 'v' to view the diff results again Using 'd' or 'i' works alright, but 'm' is totally uncomprehensive. E.g. I want to merge with my original /etc/hosts file, which has my own list of ips/hosts When typing 'm', I enter sdiff, which talks about a left and a right version, totally out-of-the-blue: %h l: use the left version r: use the right version e l:edit then use the left version e r:edit then use the right version e b:edit then use the left and right versions concatenated e: edit a new version s: silently include common lines v: verbosely include common lines q: quit What is left and right in the mergemaster context??? 'man sdiff' doesn't seem to help out here. I've tried a bit (I typed 'v' and 'q'), but then found /etc/hosts totally empty!! Any idea where I went wrong?

Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device busy ?
Hi, How can I find out which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy? Without any other sound application running, I got this message when starting mplayer or realaudio. Somehow the system got muddled up. After some random trial and error, I finally discovered that everything came back to normal when I killed xscreensaver. So for some reason xscreensaver kept /dev/dsp busy. Is there a command to find out directly which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy?

X -query localhost results in blank screen !?!
Hello, I thought I more or less understand how to handle these things in X, but I am totally puzzled here. For me, there are three crucial files /etc/ttys: ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm on secure and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config: ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests !

With the above settings I expect the following should work for creating another Xlogin screen X :1 -query localhost Indeed it switches screen, but it is blank only; even no error messages from X. Any ideas? Thanks, Rob. PS: Unrelated: have you noticed the error message in /var/log/xdm.log xdm error (pid 157): extra arguments on command line: xdm error (pid 157): ttyv8 xdm error (pid 157): Is this some miscommunication between init, /etc/ttys and xdm ? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to patch and fix a broken port?
Hi, I have never done this. So I apologize for my ignorant questions... Last week I discovered that the molden port is broken in many ways (md5 sum wrong, Mesa depence absent install broken). I reported it to the freebsd-ports mailing list and to the maintainer. I even attached a sort of patch that fixed the build in a followup email, but never got any response, nor has the port been fixed. So what to do with broken ports like that? I can imagine that ports are broken and remain broken if nobody ever uses them or installs them. But as soon as a port is noticed as broken, it is necessary to get it fixed. How is the general procedure to get this done? Please bare with me: I'm mainly a port user. I know how to install ports etc. I have no idea about generating and maintaining ports. So here we go again: the molden port is broken, but easy to fix (see my earlier emails about the molden port on the freebsd-ports mailing list).

tcsh script: quote and spaces problems
Hello, I've been trying to include the quote () characters and spaces into a tcsh script variable; for already two days I've been trying various ways doing this to no avail! I'm about to think that it is impossible. For example: #!/bin/tcsh set flag=-f t This obviously doesn't work because of too many quotes involved; but what does work to achieve this? There are two problems here: 1) flag should contain the two internal quotes of t 2) the t contains two spaces. When I use set flag='-f t ' the two spaces are automagically (?) reduced to only one space!! The latter seems to be a general problem: set flag=f wil result in flag containing only f .

You get this result because sh splits variables on $IFS before passing the result to a command, so what echo gets is argv[1]=-f \t argv[2]=\ I come to the conclusion that there's no intuitive solution in a tcsh script for set foo='-f a ' My unix knowledge tells me the following should work: set foo=-f\ \a\ \ \ but tcsh does not allow these escape sequences; the backslashes become real backslashes and an error occurs on too many quotes. Another odd behaviour occurs when I say: set foo=abc which tcsh reduces to a b c, despite the quotes.

/etc/daily.local : old and for backwards compatibility ? What isnew way ?
Hi, I want to run my own script in the periodic/daily procedure (e.g. synchronize time with ntpdate and update ports with cvsup). I had a look at /etc/periodic/daily/999.local, which says: # Run the old /etc/daily.local script. This is really for backwards # compatibility more than anything else. Using /etc/daily.local makes things indeed very easy and straight forward. But since this is mainly for backwards compatibility, I wonder what is the new way of doing what I want to do. Appending my script to /etc/periodic/daily/999.local ?

Re: Cups / Mozilla printing issues.
Lewis, A few weeks ago, there was a troublesome version of ghostscript-gnu in the ports, which corrupted my output as you describe (I have an HP laser printer). I think it was version 7.07_1; I had to downgrade to 7.05 for getting rid of the problem. The latest port has solved the problem. So if you are running the troublesome version, try upgrading your ports collection and your ghostscript-gnu. Rob Lewis Thompson wrote: Hi, I'm not sure if this isn't a bit off-topic but I hope somebody might know the answer anyway.

Qt compiled from ports: inconvenient default to threaded libs?
Hi, I have compiled qt-3.1.2_1 from ports as is. It appears that FreeBSD defaults to creating the threaded libraries, which confuses certain configure scripts. Problem is that configure scripts of some software needs tweeking: add -DTHEAD_SAFE, replace -lc by -lc_r, etc. (main reason is that compilation with threading is so much different on FreeBSD than this is, for example, on Linux) However, life would be much easier if either Qt ports build creates both, threaded and unthreaded libs or The Qt ports build allows creating only the unthreaded libs. Is there any good reason why the threaded libs are choosen to be the default, without offering easy MAKE options to change this behaviour?

g++ vs. g++33: conflicts with qt 3.1.2 on FreeBSD 4.8
Hi,
FreeBSD 4.8 and Qt 3.1.2 compiled as is from the portscollection.
I have a brief Qt code:
#include qglobal.h
#include qstring.h
int main ()
{
QString s(mangle_failure);
return 0;
}
I compile this as follows:
${CC} MyQtCode.C -g -O -pthread -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib \
-lSM -lICE -lc -lm -lX11 -lqt-mt
Where CC is either /usr/bin/g++ or /usr/local/bin/g++33
With g++ this compiles fine.
But with g++33, I get an error, that says:
/var/tmp//ccI2rls3.o: In function `main':
/home/lahaye/MyQtCode.C:6: undefined reference to `QString::QString[in-charge](char

/usr/X11R6/include/qstring.h:771: undefined reference to `QStringData::deleteSelf()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Any idea how I can fix this?

Mail notificator (iconized) for checking remote pop server ?
Hi, All my email arrives at a remote machine (RH 7.2 Linux box), from which I pop this email to my own FreeBSD PC. I'm searching a small application that notifies me by checking every few minutes the remote pop server for new mail. And it should do that while iconized (to get rid of all the window-manager's decoration around the window). My present solution does that, but is far too bulky for this purpose, since it needs full Netscape communicator running: Netscape communicator (netscape -mail) is running on my own PC and iconized. It pops the remote mail server every 10 minutes. Note that Netscape communicator is the only application, as far as I, that changes its appearance on new email, when iconized! Is there another, much smaller, application that does this too? (The archaic xbiff, for example, does neither change its appearance when iconized, nor can check a remote pop server).

How to add full Korean language support to FreeBSD?

My problem is as follows: I want to change the OS on one of our very fast lab computers from Windows 98 to FreeBSD. My collegues (who know nothing about Unix/FreeBSD) allow me doing that, only if that PC can handle typing reading of Korean language, i.e. hangul. So it's all up to me. I went to the webpages that should explain how to include Korean language support, but.that's all in Korean. So I'm having this peculiar problem, where those that can read the instructions do not understand (and do not WANT to understand!), and I want to have FreeBSD on that fast PC, but I can't read the instructions Am I missing something here? Is Korean language support simply a matter of installing a few ports? Help is very much appreciated! Thanks / Kamsahamnida !

Re: creating ftp users!
Raymond Sundland wrote: Rob, You can try setting the user's shell to /usr/libexec/sftp-server (or wherever the sftp-server binary exists under FreeBSD). This will give the user ability to SFTP into the box, but without a normal shell. /usr/lib/exec/sftp-server should be added to /etc/shells, too. Almost works ;). Doing what you suggest, I can sftp to the account, but when I do ssh to that account, I get the regular login message but no prompt. Something seems to hang.

Re: DPMS not working
Guy, I won't help much solve the problem. All I want to say, is that I see the same thing on my system (FreeBSD 4.8 with up-to-date-from-ports Xfree and other software). I have a regular monitor, SamSung SyncMaster 20GLsi. Indeed it only blanks. When I do xset dpms force off in my X-display, nothing happens. I vaguely remember it used to work in the past (when my OS was also Linux, instead of FreeBSD). However, when I go elsewhere, e.g. ctrl-Alt-F1 text screen, do a setenv DISPLAY my-X-display and then repeat the xset command above, xset q says Monitor is Off. Hmmm, but I'm on the same monitor, which is on !?!? My wild guess is, that this may be broken with recent Xfree 4.3.0. Or is only XFree broken in the FreeBSD ports collection? A wrong FreeBSD patch? You may try to convince the FreeBSD or XFree lists/people to comment on this. Regards, Rob.

FBSD 4.8 ftp install with 3c509B: ep0 device is not configure ??
Hi, I'm installing FreeBSD 4.8 from floppies and want to proceed with ftp installation. This is on a fixed network at the university. The ethernet card is 3Com 509B (the BIOS says it's on interrupt 5). During the installation, after I have entered the network info, I get a message that says ep0 device is not configured.. It also says I should configure it later in the Network setup (where is that Network setup??). I have installed FreeBSD on a PC with a realtek ethernet card, and that installs like a charm. The realtek ethernet card is recognized without any trouble. So what's going on here and why do I run into this trouble with the 3Com509B card? Is ep device not part of the kern.flp/mfsroot.flp kernel? Help is very much appreciated!

I am not at all. I just noticed a very illogical behaviour when mounting my readonly floppy; that's all. With my simple mind, I would say: 'mount' should be able to detect that you do a read/write-mount, but the medium is readonly; so it should give an error message and NOT mount. BUT: if it does mount the medium (floppy), then umount should also do its job; and not, as it is now, refuse to umount.

Sorry, but I cannot answer your questions, since I am stuck in a much
earlier stage of serial programming in FreeBSD/Unix.
I'm in a Windows-environment only. A Windowns machine can communicate
via the serial port with one of our data acquisition equipement (it's
a chemistry lab here). The serial data exchange is well documented in
the equipement manuals; e.g. 9600 baud, 8 bits, no stop bit etc. in
duplex mode receiving and sending data/commands.
The Windows C-program is directly manipulating the registers on the
16550A RS232 port, it's interrupt driven and works like a charm.
I want to this data acquisition using a FreeBSD OS. Strange enough, all
documentation I can find is related to terminal or console serial setups.
Is nobody using FreeBSD/Unix for data acquisition in research environment?
So where do I start? I'd thought a good starting point to learn how things
work, would be at first implementing:
int main()
{
int fd = ;
struct termios t;
speed_t s1, s2;
tcgetattr(fd, t);
s1 = cfgetispeed(t);
s2 = cfgetospeed(t);
}
But what is fd in this context of serial port communication?
And eh, is this actually the right way to go for data acquisition?

I got a strange problem.
I want to send a binary string to a small device I made via /dev/cuaa0.
The port settings should be 19200, 8N1 (no RTS/CTS, no XON/XOFF). Looks
simple.
I've written a small program using the standard POSIX API : tcgetattr
and the like.
When I launch my program, it doesn't work (well, it works with Linux but
not with FreeBSD).
If I first launch minicom (and ask it to setup the serial port), let it
in the
background and launch my program, it works.
The problem is that the dump of the 'stuct termios' my program is using
with or without
minicom is the same, so that's not the problem (stty -f /dev/cuaa0 gives
the same output
also).
I thought all the serial settings were in this structure; where am I
wrong ?
Thank if you can help (if you can't, thanks for reading anyway :-) ),
