Re: current hangs when boot
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bigbear writes: : i update my system from 4.1 to current, when system boot, it hangs when: : start elf ldconfig: /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib : why? This is not a hang, otherwise you would not have been able to boot by pressing ^C or ^T The files , especially rc files in /etc are not the newest ones. The script rc is suppose to use ldconfig to update the library database, but when it starts it waits. If you bypass this by pressing keys, the it might happen that you get errors with certain libraries, seeing that they are not loaded. So, all you need to do is to take /usr/src/etc and copy rc* /etc This solved the problem for me. I did a make buildworld and installworld yesterday and i got the problem on a second reboot. I had a look in the /etc directory and saw that the files did not install ... which makes sense since the spec of buildworld/installworld is that the etc dir is not updated. I started a make release 25 minutes ago, will see if the end result of a snapshot will give the same problem. P.S. After updating your files in /etc, do a shutdown -r now , the shutdown rc script will take care of the entropy factor next time around. : ^C also works. : : ^T is generally useful if you suspect something is hanging on bootup but : don't know what it is. We also found at bsdcon that lots of keystrokes would also make the system boot.

RE: package for fetch mails?
Use xfmail, a little bit old proggie, but very practical and generic. Set it up to check your mail every x minutes, using the mail server as a pop3 server ( xfmail wil log in, give your password to the server, retrieve the mail, and spool it to a file usually /var/mail/your_user_account_on_your_pc which will keep the messages) Try it , neat little proggie P.S. If you use current ,download the port and rebuild it using xforms-0.88.1 libraries On 11-Oct-00 Donny Lee wrote: Hi there, My fbsd box is (ADSL) connected to the net through dynamic IPs, so no mails are able to send in, they go to the account offered by my ISP. i need to check mail manually a period of time.

RE: error sysinstall
Probably need a newer sysinstall, now uses character devices Where did you get this sysinstall from, is in on a boot floppy ? If it is, then either the kernel with it's devices doesn't work with the sysinstall you use, or the devices do not exist. On your PC, do a make depend ; make ; make install in /usr/src/release/sysinstall then you use the sysinstall in the installed dir /stand/sysinstall Remember to remake your devices - char devices probably needed. -- Unix Software Developer/Engineer E-Mail: Johan Kruger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 22-Aug-00 Time: 12:43:29 All good things come to those who ... runs FreeBSD -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
RE: sysinstall trouble
Are you sure it's writable, try touching a file on the filesystem. mount -w /dev/ad0s1 / P.S. Before you mount it, do a fsck on it, whether it's clean or not, and then mount it. Hope it helps ...

Loading font with libvgl
Hmm, a few days back on the mailing list i saw there was problem with specifying a different font when using libvgl.

Release build of 3.4-STABLE
I checked out the sources from RELENG_3 for 3.4-STABLE and i got the same error i got last year, the release breaks at kerberos. My CHROOTDIR = /DRIVE2/R2/ It could'nt find /DRIVE2/R2/R/stage/trees/krb, so once again i had to make a link in DRIVE2/R2/R/stage/trees/krb from krb4 to krb, then it built fine. Is this an error in the Makefile or is there something i missed ?
