You don't say specifically, but I presume you're planning a source 
upgrade (make buildworld, et al).

You have oodles of space on /var, I'd suggest trying:

cd /usr
mv src /var && ln -s /var/src src
mv obj /var && ln -s /var/obj obj

That should give you plenty of room to cvsup and compile the upgrade.

Building Firefox problem, cairo related (Dis-regard previous post)

[Enigma]

I am having problems building firefox from ports.
I have been following this guide: 
http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/freebsd.html#apps
to the letter and started to build firefox,
I was in the fluxbox gui at the time and building via
xterm. At which time I clicked on the xterm bar
at the bottom and it closed xterm. I'm guessing it
continued to build because I could see it in the 'ps'
command. When id suspected it had stopped I
tried the "firefox &" command in xterm and it said;

[1] 52812
firefox: command not found

So I then continued to try and re-build it, then
popped up plenty of file checks and then
Building for cairo-1.0.4_1
followed by a bunch of file names and then error code 1
in the folder of the port. I looked on the net and others
have had problems building cairo while trying to
build firefox but i cant figure it out alone, being new
to nix. As the guide states i havent touched a whole
lot that would conttibute to this, basically just an install,
a build and install of xorg and editing a few lines of various
config files to allow for different things.

building a cluster

[Carlos Silva]

Hi,

I want to build a cluster with 2-3 nodes to convert my video files to 
DVD pretty faster (it takes an ETA of 12 hours right now), but I'm not 
familiarized with this systems, so if anyone can give me a little help 
on creating this cluster it's very appreciated!

I have two questions too:
- Is there possible to execute a program manufactured to a single pc and 
this use all the processors?

- How hard can be this configuration of the cluster and monitoring systems?

Re: setting host name during install?

[SM X]

Why are you using port 3000? Are you sure that there is a process
running on your machine that is listening on that port?
In other words, when you mentioned "http://192.168.0.103:3000";, was
that something that was (and hopefully still is) working on your
machine or you just used that URL to let us know what you are
attempting to do?

Re: setting host name during install?

[SM X]

For changing hostname (and/or IP), I found that the best way is to use
sysinstall and change it from there (Configure --> Networking -->
Interfaces --> "your NIC"), since that one will change not only
rc.conf file, but also the hosts file (so that your browser can
actually resolve name beastie in the http request), and potentially
resolv.conf (where your name server entries (not in your case, since
you are on DHCP, therefore you get the DNS server entries

Re: cleaning off unix/linux????

[John Nielsen]

Quoting Gary Kline <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Gang,

A 40G drive that I thought was bad (when trying to install W2K
on the drive) may be entirely good.  I am trying to avoid having
to buy a DOS/Win platform.  I've had both W2K and FBSD or Ubuntu
on this one machine.  For various reasons I need one DOS machine.
(Already have 7 or 8 *Nix servers.)   The Windows 2000
"Professional" CD find some other non-Windows partition and
press "D" and "L" as I will, the installation CD keeps
complaining.  Eventually I have to hit F3 to quit.  So, nutshell,
is there any way I can completely remove any trace of *Nix?
-I remember having a DOS floppy and typing an undocumented
MBR \ command that wiped the drive clean of this boot record,
but this was [mumble] years ago.


Boot to a recent FreeBSD Install CD (with the Rescue tools on disk 1) 
or a not-so-recent FreeBSD Rescue CD, and go to rescue mode.


After verifying the device name of the drive you're trying to "clean" 
(using dmesg and/or fdisk), do this (I'm assuming a single drive, ad0):


dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=32k count=1

That will overwrite the first 32k of the drive with zeroes.  That 
should wipe out the MBR and the partition table.  Since you want the 
drive to be "clean" anyway, it doesn't hurt to make the bs or count 
values higher.  To zero out the entire drive, you could do this:


dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m

(With no "count" option it will write to the end of the device.)

Doing any of this on a drive with data you care about is of course 
contraindicated.

Probably overkill, but you could install portmanager from the ports
system if you do not already have it installed. The run:

portmanager x11/kde3 -l -f

to add/update/repair a single port with logging and forcing all of it's
dependencies to be rebuilt. A log file will be created in /var/run named
portmanager.log that you can inspect after the program finishes. I would
highly recommend that you update yours ports prior to running this
program.

Hi,

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object
"libgpg-error.so.1" not found, required by "kmail"

Is there something else i could do?

See "man gprof" for details.  Basicly, the libraries contain code which 
is instrumented so that you can figure out things like where the program 
is spending CPU time and what the call graph looks like.  These are used 
by developers for performance tuning only, and are not needed for 
production systems which are not running test/debug code...

Personally, I keep a copy of FreeDOS  available
for just such an occasion. I am sure there are easier ways though.

Maple 8 on FreeBSD with Diablo

[Henry Lenzi]

Hi --

Maple keeps getting me trouble...
Has anyone installed Maple 8 with the new diablo? What the handbook
says does not apply to Maple 8...There is no FLEXim script for
Linux/Unix.

NetBSD people claim to have it rolling under binary emulation, but
their page lacks details too.

Can anyone help?

Henry

Yeah. I am going to have to raise it. In what way would it affect

It says it is read only. Where would I change this at?

Hello,

I'm wondering how others manage a local store of packages... or even if

Some short time back I decided to start stockpiling packages of all the
ports I have installed on my machine.  I was/am doing this because I
intend on doing a fresh install to 6.1-RELEASE when I have the time.
But, although I do prefer to compile the ports (as opposed to
downloading the packages) I do not wish to recompile them all *again*,
because it is a significant amount of time.  I intend to just transfer
them to the new installation.  So I wrote a small script (appended
below, comments welcome) to create packages of everything on my system.
  I did that one time, and have since done "make install package clean"
to install new packages, and done "portupgrade -aprR" to upgrade those
presently installed.

While this does seem to work well for me, it has left one problem I did
not foresee.  As ports get upgraded, their new package is built and
placed in my package dir, but the *old* port's package is not removed.
So I now have quite a few packages in my package directory that are not
the most recent, and hence are just taking up space.

Example (/usr/ports/packages/All):

ImageMagick-6.2.5.5_4.tbz
ORBit-0.5.17_3.tbz
ORBit2-2.14.0.tbz <---
ORBit2-2.14.0_1.tbz   <---
OpenSP-1.5_7.tbz

aterm-1.0.0_1.tbz

avahi-0.6.10_1.tbz<---
avahi-0.6.10_3.tbz<---
avahi-0.6.9_5.tbz <---
-

So my question is:
Is there a way to automatically remove the old packages as existing
packages get upgraded?  Or is there some more appropriate means for
generating packages (and keeping them up to date) that I could transfer
to a fresh install (or even another machine for that matter)?

My mk_pkgs.sh.  Comments are appreciated.

Yes... that's doing the trick.  I've used it for cleaning out

i think thats out of the handbook if i recall.  here is the reference:

under section 21.4.5
 
no issues so far. its just another way to get into single user mode after a

i do the kernel stuff in multiuser mode, all the other compiling in multiuser 
mode, and then drop to single user mode to installworld.

This is probably a dumb question, but what are 'profile libraries'?
There is the option to use either -NO_PROFILE while building a port, or
putting it in the make.conf file as NO_PROFILE= true, so I assume it
does something. If these libraries are not required, why are they built
by default anyway?

You should probably start the Subversion server on the FreeBSD machine.
What does sockstat -4 tell you?  I'm guessing you never started the
subversion server.

controlling ports: connection refused

[Peter Michaux]

Hi,

I'm having fun getting things working with FreeBSD. Hopefully I won't
have too many questions for you guys but another speedbump. This looks
like a SVN question but I think it is really a FreeBSD question.

I have Mac OS X 10.3.9 on one computer and FreeBSD 6.1 on another.
They are both connected to my router. If I start a webserver (Webrick
for a Rails web applications) on the FreeBSD machine, then I can view
the website
on my Mac by navigating to "http://192.168.0.103:3000/";. So I know the
two machines can talk to each other.

On the FreeBSD machine I created an svn repository, did an initial "svn
import" and can checkout the repostitory two ways. This is all on the
FreeBSD machine.

# cd /home/peter/
# svn checkout file:///home/peter/projectA
Checked out revision 1

# cd /home/peter/
# svnserve -d -r /home/peter/proj
# svn checkout svn://localhost/projectB
checkout out revision 1

So I know svn is working.

Now I would like to do a checkout on the Mac

$ svn checkout svn://192.168.0.103/projectB

The server isn't running.  Start it, and this message
will go away.

If the port/package is correctly installed, then

$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start

as root should do the trick.

To have mysql-server start automagically, add:

mysql_enable="YES"

to the file /etc/rc.conf

BTW, shouldn't there be a space between the "-u"
and the "root" ?  Probably just a c-n-p error.

Remove those two if you're doing an upgrade using the discs. If you're 
building the upgrade from source, you obviously can't do that. If adding a

/usr/obj on the new drive and be done with it.

I should have thought to check the logs before
posting here. There are error messages in the messages
file. This one is just after I reloaded the module.

May 16 17:58:35 bahamut kernel: pcm0: ac97 link rate

And this one is at a seemingly random time.

May 18 19:26:56 bahamut
kernel:pcm0:virtual:0:dsp0.2:play interrupt timeout,
channel dead

There aren't any errors that show up every time I
attempt to play a song, but I'm sure the above two
are related. I have tried using mplayer, which is
command-line based. Currently, /dev/sndstat shows my
soundcard and nothing unusual, even though nothing
will play.

Re: sshd delay

[Andrew]

Hello,

This is perhaps a long shot, but anyway... 

I assume the reason you tried turning off DNS look-ups is that remote
host cannot resolve the local hostname, or it can, but takes a
relatively long time to do so. You might check and see if syslog has DNS
look-ups enabled. It's been a while, but I think we had a similar
problem and don't ask me why, but turning off DNS look-ups for syslog
solved the problem. I can't believe that sshd would block waiting for
syslog, but I suppose it could be true...

I don't see how this is convoluted.  In fact, I would be inclined
to claim that it is the defacto method for setting up an internal
computational cluster

 s  <---> node1
internet <-F-> FQDN|master <---> w  <---> node2
 t  <---> node3

where swt = switch.

Note that <-F-> actually has at least one firewall.  Only people in
the apl.washington.edu domain can get to FQDN.  I was hoping to 
use NIS to simplify the propagation of info (eg., passwd, hosts,
etc.) from master to the nodes.  Propagating the info by hand
isn't too bad because I only have five nodes represently.  However,
I hope to grow an additional 11 nodes.

RE: installing MySQL with FreeBSD pkg_add

[fbsd]

The pkg_add -r msql41-server auto installs mysql41-client
as a dependaent so when you ran pkg_add -r mysql41-client
it found it was all ready there just like it should.
This is not an error.

Next you have to do rehash command or reboot box so system
can find those new modules.

Then run
mysql_install_db --user=mysql
from the command line to tell mysql to create its internel control
db.

Then mysql -u root   should work.

run

That will recompile anything that depends on libgpg-error (and libgpg-error as 
well). It'll take a while. Things should work again afterwards.

I shearced for libgpg-error.so.1 and found it in
several directories like /root/.kde/share/apps/kmail
and  /root/libgpg-error/lib.
I copied it in /libexec just in case but ofcourse
nothing changed. Everything else seems all right for
now just kmail refuses to initiate. Is anything that i
can do?

Peter,

cp /usr/local/share/my-small.cnf /var/db/mysql/my.cnf. Have a look at 
your new config in /var/db/mysql and make any necessary adjustments. 
There's some other configs in /usr/local/share so if you need something 
other than the small configuration file copy that one over. All depends 
on what you're doing with it.

Have you tried manually starting the slow processes under ktrace and
having a look to see what's taking so long?

ktrace output can be a little cryptic, but you don't have to understand
all of it, and you can always post the relevent parts to the list and
ask for help.  Start the process with ktrace enabled, if it seems to
"hang" for a while, stop the ktrace and the end part should give some
indication of what the holdup is.  If the process just takes a long time,
it'll require some more work to diagnose what's takin so long.

I can't even get NIS set up with ypinit.  It unconditionally

You have given me an idea.  I can change rc.conf to set hostname
to the name I've given 192.168.0.10, put that on bge0, put 
the IP address associated with the FQDN on bge1, and reboot.
This might permit NIS to come up.  Though this seems like a hack,
because when someone connects to the seem via the FQDN, 
/bin/hostname will give the wrong answer.

I'd guess there's more than one thing going on, so try to
eliminate some variables.  In particular, use a command-line
utility to generate audio.  Also, watch for log messages,
and for changes in the output of /dev/sndstat.

There is a program called crypt which comes with FreeBSD which provides 
basic single-rotor encryption, which is fine for casual use but can be 
decrypted via bigram/trigram analysis easily by someone who knows what 
they are doing.  If you want strong encryption, look towards GnuPG from 
security/gnupg, or possibly towards OpenPGP or even the commercial variant.

openssl(1) is a nice choice, in the base system.

RE: 6.1 CD is Hanging on Install

[fbsd]

Trouble shooting 101.

1. If you burned the install cd from the iso file, did you 
first check that what you downloaded is correct by running 
md5 and comparing the hash number against the checksum value?

2. Check the motherboard bio settings. 
Turn off all power management options.
If there is an option to select the operation system, 
select anything other than windows. 
Check that irq number assignments are set to auto.
Check that hard drive master/slave is set to auto.

3. If nothing works to fix problem them post your question to 
the FreeBSD mobile list. The mobile list is just for laptop 
questions so you should get better help there.

Subject: 6.1 CD is Hanging on Install


Hello,

I'm trying to venture into the world of BSD.  Thus, I have just
recently joined the mailing list and this is my first message.  I have
tried to research my question and found a similar problem, but I was
unable to find any type of solution.

Here's What's Happening:

After I boot my laptop to the installer CD and select what I'd like to
boot (I've tried the default, no acpi, and safe mode with the same
results), the installer seems to lock up the computer after the
following two lines:

  Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1600070929 Hz quality 800
  Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec

 At this point the computer responds to nothing but holding down the
power button, which obviously kills the power.  Just in case it was
trying to work something out (after all, the "thinking" light was on),
I let my laptop sit for almost four hours with still no change.

I have used Debian and Fedora on this computer previously with no
problems (and obviously Windows works also).

Since there are really no other options as far as booting goes, I
really don't know what I've done wrong or what I can do.

Just is case it helps, here is some information about my system:
Compaq Presario M2105US
  AMD Mobile Sempron processor
  1GB RAM
  ATI Express 200M graphics card w/ shared memory

Also, I've tried to use the 2CD set and Boot Only CD for the i386.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Remove those two if you're doing an upgrade using the discs. If you're 
building the upgrade from source, you obviously can't do that. If adding 
a drive is an option, then it becomes easy - put /usr/ports /usr/src and 
/usr/obj on the new drive and be done with it.

That would be my first reaction, too.  But I suspect there are a lot
of different possible requirements for this kind of storage, and if
you really want to archive everything, keeping it out of your normal
mailboxes would be more efficient and less prone to losing archives
you wanted to keep.  

Most MTAs can be configured to save all mail on the way through, and
I've known people to use procmail to do similar things.  Depends on
why you want the archive.

 http://www.freebsddiary.org/freebsd-6.0-rc1.php

  (and Google, where I found those), for more information about
APM/ACPI problems.

Dan (Freebsddiary) shows himself hitting "any other key for command
prompt" during stage 2 boot, then issuing:

   unset acpi_load
   boot -v

Seems like the "verbose" boot might be worth looking at; perhaps
you could get a better idea just exactly what is up with the boot
process.


Just is case it helps, here is some information about my system:
Compaq Presario M2105US
 AMD Mobile Sempron processor
 1GB RAM4
 ATI Express 200M graphics card w/ shared memory

Also, I've tried to use the 2CD set and Boot Only CD for the i386.



Hmm, then maybe the "try a different CD" won't work.  Sorry
I've got no more thoughts ATM.  Good luck!

Actually, it seems logical there *should* be one.
What does dmesg(8) say in regard to this?  Can
you run moused(8)?  What hardware is this, anyway?


$ moused(8)
Badly placed ()'s


Yup.  The (8) refers to the manual section,
see the manpage for man(1) for that.  (Oh,
and you'd do it like this:

$ man man


$ moused
moused: no port name specified


Yeah.  Running moused needs to have
some arguments.  What's the output
of ls /dev/sysmouse ?


$ dmesg(8)
Badly placed ()'s


ditto above.


$ dmseg
dmseg: Command not found.


Look carefully.  That's dmesg, not
dmseg ...

dmesg should give you a boot message, which
should show us something about your mouse.

Portmanager: Error Message Upon Startup

[Gerard E. Seibert]

Running FreeBSD 6.1

Upon starting portmanager, I receive the following error message.

~ # portmanager x11/kde3 -l

portmanager 0.4.1_5: Collecting installed port data

MGdbAdd error: attempt to place null data into record halted
Assertion failed: (0), function MGdbAdd, file MGdbAdd.c, line 78.

I have no idea what the message means or how to fix it. Previously, 
portmanager had worked flawlessly.

Microsoft USB wireless mouse can not work

[panxj]

Hi, all
I have a   Microsoft USB wireless mouse, but it cannot work in FreeBSD, 
neither in console nor in KDE. It goes well in Linux and Windows. However, 
after I plug the receiver into the USB interface, the kernel recongizes the 
hardware, and I get this in /var/log/message

May 20 18:19:15 Earth kernel: uhid0: Microsoft Microsoft USB Wireless Mouse, 
rev 2.00/0.17, addr 2, iclass 3/1

I tried sysinstall->configure->Mouse, chose auto for the type and 
enabled the moused, but nothing happens.
What should I do now? Thank you very much!___

upgrading to apache 2.2

[dick hoogendijk]

I have a working configuration with apache-1.3.x, php4, mySQL
As I understand apache-1.3.x is a bit old, so I want to change this
config to a working apache-2.2.x + mySQL + php4

Can anybody give me some advice in how to do his? Do I remove all
packages first and do a reinstall afterwards? If yes, what will be the
right sequence?

Or is there another (better) way?
Reading points are welcome too ;-)

Re: Shell script cannot run on FAT32 partition

Hello!

I have this nice renaming script here.
It sanitizes badly named parts of files and folders.

But when I run it on my FAT32, dual boot transition partition 
(hehe), it causes

my computer (Pentium 4, 3,2 GHz) to freeze. I vaguely remember seeing some
message before it freezes saying "Locking from myself" or something 
like that,

this is not recorded into /var/log/messages.

It is very annoying actually because to rename a bunch of files I 
first have to
copy them to my UFS2 partition, run the script, and then copy them 
back to the

FAT32 partition.

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks!

Anyway here is the script.


FAT32 seems to have some limitations on moving and renaming files.

Several years ago I had wrote a program (which ran under Win98) which received
files by UDP in pieces.  Once fully assembled it would "MOVE"  the 
files to another director.


That process would bog down.  When I tried the same application 
under WinNT on an NTFS
drive it worked OK.  I don't know if the problem was in Win 98 or if 
it is a weakness of the FAT32
design.  If the problem is in the FAT32 design there could be 
problems that even show up under

FreeBSD.

That's my $0.02


To a man of my poverty, $0.02 is a lot more than what it seems :)

I guess there' s no way around it.

I notice when I copy files, manually one by one, to or from FAT32,
the files end up in uppercase. This is also very annoying,
but something I guess I have to live with.

Take care,
Kyrre

Hi,

FAT32 can't distinguish between upper and lowercase. You need to use an
intermediate filename to do so.

It will not. FreeBSD/ia64 is for Itanium and Itanium 2 systems only. However, 
FreeBSD/i386 will run on your Celeron D just fine.

FreeBSD Book for New Users Available in PDF Format

[Annelise Anderson]

The book I wrote for users new to FreeBSD and Unix--
FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer--
is out of print now (although DeamonNews may have a few copies) and
no longer available on Amazon, although they may still be listing
the first edition.

Many people have written to thank me for providing an
introductory book for new users.  This book is based on versions
4.1-4.11 of FreeBSD and doesn't cover 5.x or 6.x at all.  But
I continue to get requests for it.  So it's available in pdf
format on http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/introbook/

It's still copyrighted (I own the copyright) and so is
available for personal use, not reprint.  But feel free to download
and print.  Let me know if it doesn't work.

Annelise

Hi and thanks Kevin!

Im using Perl 5.005_03 (perl -v) on FBSD4.10.
I thought that Perl was part of the base system.
Is it possible to upgrade my installation, to
Perl 5.8.x, via ports?

Yes it was a full portupgrade. Did not saw the UPDATING
notes on Perl. Had some problem with PHP5 and must have
overlooked everything else.

TIA & BR > Pelle
