 Hey all, I amused to 4 stable, and have upgraded to 5.3.
 I like that xorg runs out of the box, the old setup sucked!.  Anyways,
 I compiled kde3 from ports. That took forever!  What do I need to do
 to start it?
 startx just runs twm.  I am assuming i need to change a config file,
 but never have done so with x11.

Put exec startkde in your .xinitrc

 I am on the BOINC forum, and there are horror stories
 there about individuals that have not been able to get BOINC compiled
 and running correctly.

Oh sure, no doubt a collection of I cd'd into /usr/ports/someplace and ran
somesuch and why didn't a binary come down and install, where's rpm, where's
rpm manager, I wanna go hmmme wah!!!

 There was some serious work done on version 4.05,
 but it was not perfected. In addition, the GUI is not yet available for
 the non-windows version of BOINC, although hopefully it will be soon.


Well, that's your problem.  If the poster breathes a word about needing a

 Is there a specific reason that I would want or need to disable the

Well, if your setting up your own distributed supercomputer network
then maybe you would want a server!!!

I don't know, do you have a number crunching project?

Otherwise if your just working on seti's or someone else's stuff, you
don't need a server.

Re: make installkernel help required. (ANSWER... sort of)

Bizarro...

After having another search of the archives and seeing someone suggest
they were having make problems in X:
(http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-September/058300.html)

... I ran the make installkernel outside of X (i.e. in a console) and it
works fine.

Try to run it in aterm or xterm and you get the can't shift that many
error.

I cannot pretend to know anything about why this is the case.

far as I can tell from looking back at postings you've made in this
list, you've actually got a problem with the security/php4-openssl
port.  Unfortunately you need to have php4-openssl installed as a
dependency of phpMyAdmin[1].

The error mesage you're getting about:

'Dependency warning: used OpenSSL version contains known
 vulnerabilities. Please update or define either WITH_OPENSSL_BASE
 or WITH_OPENSSL_PORT

is the ports system trying to stop you shooting yourself in the foot
by installing software that uses a version of OpenSSL with known
security vulnerabilities.  Details are given here, as well as
instructions on how to fix that specific problem:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-04:05.openssl.asc

Note however that there are other fixes available for other
vulnerabilities in 5.2.1-RELEASE: the latest is 5.2.1-RELEASE-p10.
Recommended solution would be to cvsup(1) the latest sources from the
RELENG_5_2 branch and do a complete buildworld cycle as described in
the Handbook.  However, as a complete beginner, you might find that
using the binary patches supplied via FreeBSD Update suits you better:

http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/

After that, the phpMyAdmin port should install smoothly.

Cheers,

Matthew

[1] Well, you do at the moment.  There's a maintainer update waiting
to go in once the ports freeze for 5.3-RELEASE is lifted, which will
make most of those dependencies optional.  See

RE: Portinstall problem (config.guess not found) ANSWER (sort of)

[Philip Payne]

Hi,

Had another search of the archives and found someone having a similar
problem making gtk12.
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-September/0581
90.html

Saw an answer that the issue was running the make in X.

So, I switched to a console and tried to install the port... bingo... no
problem. 

Switch back to X and try in aterm or xterm, still same config.guess not
found error.

Bizarre bug.. but at least there's a workaround for now. Don't do any make
functions in X.

Phil.

PS: This bug was also affecting my ability to make a new kernel.

 Try to run it in aterm or xterm and you get the can't shift that many

 I cannot pretend to know anything about why this is the case.

This error seems to be caused by some sort of mishandling of nls.alias
when this command runs:

: cd /usr/share/nls;  set - `grep ^[a-zA-Z] /usr/src/etc/nls.alias`;
: while [ $# -gt 0 ] ;  do  rm -rf $1;  ln -s $2 $1;  shift; shift;
: done
: shift: can't shift that many
: *** Error code 2
:
: Stop in /usr/src/etc.

For this to work correctly, the file /usr/src/etc/nls.alias should
contain pairs of words, as shown below:

: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/nls.alias,v 1.5 2003/06/10 01:22:30 ache Exp $
:
: POSIX   C
: en_US.US-ASCII  C

Two questions that come to my mind are:

1. Have you changed this file in any way?

2. What are the locale settings of your environment when this
   fails, i.e. what does this print?

$ env | grep '^L[AC]' | sort

Now, here's the seti-specific stuff:

cd /usr/bin
mv make make.old
cd /usr/local/bin
mv gmake make  (bogosity due to seti developers thinking all unix=linux)
cd ~
rehash
cd boinc_public
cd lib
make
mkdir /lib  (yes we create this icky, barfy thing in the root due to
bogosity
of the seti boinc client)
cp libboinc.a /lib

cd seti_boinc
cp ../boinc_public/api/*.h .
cp ../boinc_public/lib/*.h .
(yes we just dump the headers into the seti boinc client root due to more
seti client bogosity)
./configure
make all
cd ~

run the command

boinc_client
Enter the URL of the project: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu

when initial testing is done and client is querying, CNTL-C
This sets up the empty seti directory.  Now,

cd ~
cd projects
cd setiathome.berkeley.edu
follow instructions on http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php for
creating app_info.xml   substitute setiathome_4.3_i386-unknown-freebsd4.10

cp ../../seti_boinc/client/setiathome_4.3_i386-unknown-freebsd4.10 .
cp ../../seti_boinc/client/setiathome_test .

cd /usr/bin
mv make.old make

how to change daily run output's subject line?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

as like every other FreeBSD machine, my FreeBSD based server sends me an 
daily (security) output every night. I know where to change some settings 
like where the email should go to etc. But is there any chance to change 
subject line of this auto generated email?

Greetings and TIA, Matthias

Official wallpapers

HI,

Yesterday, I was asking about chance to submit some gfx work, and to get is 'official' 
in some way. Today
I want to submit one of that work, a wallpaper for incoming freebsd 5.3 disto.SO, 
heres the url:
http://zeik.wns.amu.edu.pl/~r/freebsd53.png
Is it good enough? If not, and if it may be in your opinion, please give any word on 
anything I should adjust.
Of course I can submit that in variety of resolutions and formats.

Best regars, r.

It's hardwired in /usr/sbin/periodic (which is a shell script, so it's

Very cool.  Makes me wanna run right out and load up 5.3 :)

I don't think the signature is too imposing, but someone else might
feel differently.  Regardless, the BSD community is very good about
giving credit where due.

One question:  What tool(s) did you use?  The flame detail around the
daemon (can't remember his name . . .) is excellent.  I'd like to see
that part made into an icon for a webpage too . . .

Good work.

make world again?

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Hi, 

I have searched Makefiles in /usr/src but couldn't able to find a solution 
for my problem. How can I install (e.g. for a jail system) 2 different world 
to different directories without compiling in the second world? 

What I want to do is this: 

make world DESTDIR=/var/jail/1
make world DESTDIR=/var/jail/2  (This jail must be installed without 
compiling everything since it takes time) 

REGARDS.

   This error seems to be caused by some sort of mishandling of nls.alias

  en_US.US-ASCII  C
 
 Weird.  Everything seems ok but you seem to be bumping on a problem
 related to the shell in use :-/

Weirder... installed Eterm... and I can installkernel  install ports
fine. So looks like its only aterm  xterm that have given me a problem.

Using port system in network using proxy server

Good day!

   Do you have any idea on how I can install through
freebsd port system when my internet connection is on
LAN and our LAN uses proxy server? I can set the proxy
details easily in my web browsers but I don't know how
to do it in making ports. Some sort of proxy

Didn't use Konsole but I am using KDE. It appears to be a problem in aterm

I do use su rather than su -

I'm really just a networky person rather than unix sysadmin so its way over

rather than having a system I can't update.

I'm happy to assist where possible in identifying what the issue is but

There's a nifty little package in ports called numlockx

out why, I guess.
I just installed it and put numlockx in ~/.xinitrc, before
the lines starting the window manager ... or much of anything
else.  Like I said, it worked as long as I was calling startx;
I guess now that gdm is starting GNOME for me, I need to find
another place to call it from...

There is often a BIOS setting that may affect this, but this is assuming
that you are speaking about booting to a console.  If you are booting
into X then, from past experience, it is a bit more tricky.  I haven't
looked at it in a while and things may have changed, but as of a year or
so ago there were various hacks and tools to get the Numlock activated
when booting into X.  KDE's FAQ used to have a section on this,
in which they stated that it wasn't really a KDE issue at all, but gave
some tips on it simply because the issue came up frequently.  You can
try playing around with xset(1) and the 'led' option.  I also recall
that there was a small program developed for the very purpose of
automatically activating the Numlock when booting into X.  A few web
searches should pull up a lot of information.

Find Command Syntax

[Drew Tomlinson]

I'm trying to write a script to feed the mail in my spam folder to 
Spamassassin's sa-learn and then delete the mails older than 1 day in 
that spam folder.  Here's my current directory listing:

blacklamb ll /path/to/Maildir/.Spam/cur
total 70
-rw---  1 user  group   6118 Sep 22 02:08 
1095844100.98444_0.blacklamb.mykitchentable.net:2,

1095863122.M795851P95252V5B00I0031FB22_1.blacklamb.mykitchentable.net,S=23314:2,S

I'm trying to use the find command to do the deleting but am having 
trouble with the syntax.  For testing, I'm using this command:

blacklamb find /path/to/Maildir/.Spam/cur \! -newerct 1d -print
blacklamb
It finds nothing.  I read in the manual that time specifications don't 
have much meaning without the '-' or '+' operator so I try adding it:

blacklamb find /usr/home/tomlinson_dr/Maildir/.Spam/cur \! -newerct -1d 
-print
find: Can't parse date/time: -1d
blacklamb find /usr/home/tomlinson_dr/Maildir/.Spam/cur \! -newerct +1d 
-print
find: Can't parse date/time: +1d

I've also tried a combination of adding ()'s around the expression but 
that hasn't worked either.  What am I missing?  Is this an appropriate 
choice for what I want to do?  Is there another command better suited 
for this task?

Thanks,
Drew

There's a nifty little package in ports called numlockx
(/usr/ports/x11/numlockx) that worked for me in blackbox/
fluxbox, xfce, and enlightenment, but doesn't seem to work
with GNOME, or at least the way I'm calling GNOME now
(gdm on ttyv0).  I need to get annoyed enough to figure
out why, I guess.
I just installed it and put numlockx in ~/.xinitrc, before
the lines starting the window manager ... or much of anything
else.  Like I said, it worked as long as I was calling startx;
I guess now that gdm is starting GNOME for me, I need to find
another place to call it from...
Kevin Kinsey 
Greetings!
Have you tried putting it in...
drumroll
...*.xsession*? :-D
This is equivalent of .xinitrc when starting from xdm as opposed to the 
startx method. I see no reason why gdm should be radically different.

I use /bin/tcsh. It's not invoked by any aterm/xterm options, its just

Phil.
 

That's the first part.  xterm doesn't {by default} set up your shell
as a login shell ... therefore it doesn't get certain environment
variables, and probably there are a few other things I don't know
about ...
A simple test:  try typing logout to exit your xterm.  If it responds
not a login shell, then, well, it's not.  Starting xterm with -ls should
help with the problem, as Giorgos stated.
Now, to further support the theory Giorgos has here, Eterm *does*
seem to use its -l option by default, so when using Eterm the terminal
would invoke tcsh as a login shell ... and things should work.

man ntpd and ntpdate show that these are two different things.
Ntpdate makes clock sync in restart, xntpd keeps it that way.
ntpdate, to my understanding, doesn't use the config file.

Fixit floppy/CD

[Henrik W Lund]

Greetings, list!
I've been reading about a fixit floppy that is supposed to exist 
somewhere, and a fixit CD too, but I can't for the life me find out 
anything more about them. Googling yields tons of references to 
inserting the fixit floppy/CD, but none as to how one goes about 
making them!

There is always sysutils/livecd, I know, but I'm not looking for the 
ultimate in configurability, I just want something that will boot my 
machine and let me mess around (much like the Win98 boot diskette in 
days of old). When the port's homepage made references to an official 
version of LiveCD, I surfed the ftp servers but found nothing looking 
anything like it.

Can anyone throw me a torch here? Thanks!

Re: starting kde in 5.3

[Huw Wynn-Jones]

Hello,

you new to change your .xinitrc file to read:

exec startkde

the .xinitrc file is found in your home directory ie: /home/huw/.xinitrc

after this kde will run when you type startx

you might want to have a look at the handbook section on kde and kdm, a 
graphical login screen.

These certainly do exist -- generally you'ld just download some disk
images and either copy them to floppy, or burn them to CD Rom:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html

The fixit floppy can be found at eg.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.10-RELEASE/floppies/

depending on the architecture and FreeBSD version you want. (Floppy
images don't exist for all architecures).  You can also find the
floppy images in the /floppies directory of the Disk 1 iso-image,
which is handy if you run into a CD drive you can't boot from.

Similarly the ISO images you need are in eg.:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/sparc64/ISO-IMAGES/5.3/

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10/

Mutatis mutandis wrt. version numbers and architectures again.  You
want the disk2.iso, which is a standalone bootable image with a live
file system on it.
 
If you want to create your own versions of these things from source,
you need a local copy of the FreeBSD source CVS repository, and you
can use the 'make release' command -- see /usr/src/release/Makefile
and other files under directory.  That's not something for the faint
of heart though.

Cheers,

Matthew

 There is often a BIOS setting that may affect this, but this is

True... I wasn't aware that this is an X 'issue'. But it turns out num

 tricky.  I haven't looked at it in a while and things may have
 changed, but as of a year or so ago there were various hacks and
 tools to get the Numlock activated when booting into X.  KDE's FAQ
 used to have a section on this, in which they stated that it wasn't
 really a KDE issue at all, but gave some tips on it simply because

Yep. By now (I'm running 3.3), there is an option in the KDE control 
center to activate num lock on startup... just found out about that:) 
The numlockx package (... btw thanks Kevin) seems to be the best 
solution for now, since it's not KDE specific.
However, it releaves just some of the pain. X resets the num lock on 
exit. Any ideas on that?

 the Numlock when booting into X.  A few web searches should pull up a
 lot of information.

Point taken... I didn't find anything on the num lock exit issue

I686_CPU only kernel build

[Norm Vilmer]

My current kernel is compiled with cpu I686_CPU only.
Will this cause any problems if I try to build and run,
for example, the JDK 1.4 port which is said to be a
i586 release?

Hmmm... well, if you just save the Spam messages into that directory

There isn't a problem. It is just that acid some other extra stuff
compiled into php which isn't in the default build of the php4 port
like database support, session suport and some other things I
don't remember now.
I added the stuff to the lang/php4 and rebuilt/reinstalled the port.
Then I did an apaclectl restart and it worked fine afterwards.

Is there something wrong with refuse.README?

[Choy Kho Yee]

Hi, I am using the latest FreeBSD 5.3BETA5.
I was configuring cvsup's various supfiles and refuse file and found 
something strange with /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse.README. It 
stated in the README file that

You can copy refuse to your sup directory and add or remove whatever 
you like. The example supfiles in this directory set CVSup's base 
directory to /usrblah blah blah

However, when I looked into ports-supfile and standard-supfile, both 
define these lines in them:

*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
Now, which one is correct?
Is this a bug? If this is, somebody please tell the maintainer as I am 
not familiar with this.

The ctime entry (originally 'creation time') used to be intended to
record when the file was created.  Nowadays it records the last time
the inode for the file changed -- that includes such things as changes
to file permissions, ACLs, option flags etc., but not such things as
modifications to the file contents which don't change the file size a
great deal.

This status has nothing to do with what your IMAP client reports as
the file status.  The ctime concept applies to any file on the system,
no matter what it's used for.  IMAP status just records or modifies an
extra header within the message to indicate if it's been read or not.

Thus reading those messages via IMAP might change mtime but not
ctime. However, I'm not certain of that.  You'll have to experiment.
You can print out the ctime and mtime for the files by:

% stat -f 'ctime=%Sc mtime=%Sm   %N' -t '%c' *

Usually mtime and ctime will be exactly the same.

Cheers,

Matthew

I booted with a CD and tryed fdisk /b /boot/boot0 ad0 which indeed brought back the

Is there a problem with the disk geometry? If yes ... I'm pretty helpless because I

Screen recording utility

You could just do a send-pr(1), I guess. It's the regular way for us 
mere mortals to submit patches, suggestions and the like. You do run a 
risk of it getting missed, though, so making friends with a committer 
would probably make actually getting things committed a bit easier.

Mind you, though, committers are shy creatures - they mostly stick to 
themselves, emerging from their hideouts only to discuss really 
important commits among themselves (talking out of my ass here, of 
course ;-) ). Alternatively, you may have a better chance of getting 
one's attention over on -hackers or -current (although I probably would 
go the send-pr(1) route. -hackers and -current are rather strictly 
on-topic, I imagine).

These certainly do exist -- generally you'ld just download some disk
images and either copy them to floppy, or burn them to CD Rom:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html
The fixit floppy can be found at eg.
   ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.10-RELEASE/floppies/
depending on the architecture and FreeBSD version you want. (Floppy
images don't exist for all architecures).  You can also find the
floppy images in the /floppies directory of the Disk 1 iso-image,
which is handy if you run into a CD drive you can't boot from.
Similarly the ISO images you need are in eg.:
   ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/sparc64/ISO-IMAGES/5.3/
   ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.10/
Mutatis mutandis wrt. version numbers and architectures again.  You
want the disk2.iso, which is a standalone bootable image with a live
file system on it.
If you want to create your own versions of these things from source,
you need a local copy of the FreeBSD source CVS repository, and you
can use the 'make release' command -- see /usr/src/release/Makefile
and other files under directory.  That's not something for the faint
of heart though.

 You could just do a send-pr(1), I guess. It's the regular way for us 
 mere mortals to submit patches, suggestions and the like. You do run a 
 risk of it getting missed, though, so making friends with a committer 
 would probably make actually getting things committed a bit easier.
 
 Mind you, though, committers are shy creatures - they mostly stick to 
 themselves, emerging from their hideouts only to discuss really 
 important commits among themselves (talking out of my ass here, of 
 course ;-) ). Alternatively, you may have a better chance of getting 
 one's attention over on -hackers or -current (although I probably would 
 go the send-pr(1) route. -hackers and -current are rather strictly 
 on-topic, I imagine).

Actually, a better route would be to make a port of the wall paper.
The base system doesn't hold much stuff that is strictly decorative,
and it doesn't include X window system stuff either.  All that
generally comes from the ports.

See the Porter's Handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html
for instructions on how to create and submit a port.  As you're pretty
much just downloading a single file and installing it to some location
under /usr/X11R6 without having to do any compilation or anything, it
should be a pretty simple port to create.

Cheers,

Matthew

  It does look cool.  But should it be a penguin that's being burned at

 So **you're** the reason Bill Gates never adopted a mascot for Windows!

Flyswatter.  'nuff said.

 Beastie's on fire; but not getting burned -- a tempered operating 
 system.  I like the symbolism.

Ditto.

Re: Screen recording utility

[William Fletcher]

Hi,

The only thing I can suggest is xspy (/usr/ports/security/xspy).
I'm not sure how well it works. There is also xmove, 
which may also be similar to what you're after.
/usr/ports/x11/xmove

I hope thats helpful.

 I'm looking for a tool to record everything that can be seen on a given X

 Camtasia on Windoze for this, and I need something that produces a similar 
 result, preferably a neat small command line tool.
 
 If such a thing does not exist, can someone please give me a hint on how I 
 could do it myself in ASM/C/C++/shellscript/whatever? Is it as simple as 
 reading from a device file, or can I just put this feature into the X server?

True - I didn't think of that. In light of this, making a port does seem 
like the best solution, yes. That way, more wallpapers can easily be 
added too.

 IIRC, that's Beastie. ;)

Beastie was one name used, but wasn't he called Chuck at one point?
