Re: Is it better to just rebuild Xorg 7.2

 update?

I think it'll be the same. Upgrade was the only option for me
as I had a fully functionally X setup in my laptop - it went pretty smoothly
(for the amount of changes done to the system).

Make sure you follow the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING to the letter.

 In either case I need to sync the ports tree etc.

well, if u dont upgrade your tree, you may be able to install xorg 6.9 from
packages (MUCH faster) ; get it working; then sync the ports after this and
upgrade. There is nothing particularly wrong with 6.9, specially if you have a
clean machine and you plan to do the whole upgrade path.

just dont go overkill with setting up KDE / Gnome and other things that depend
on X. twm would do for now ;)

Re: startup / shutdown script (rc.d)

thanks for the ideas, i tried both of your suggestions...i manually ran the

the weird part is that the Rails found stop never printed...and im not sure
why the mongrel_rails fails (im assuming that the kldload works fine as it
doesn't print out any error messages if it is successfull)

i guess i will just keep playing with it...



Let's try a different approach. The following is a working script of 
your rails:


---
#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: rails
# KEYWORD: nojail shutdown

. /etc/rc.subr

name=rails
start_cmd=${name} start
stop_cmd=${name} stop

rails() {
case ${rc_arg} in
start)
echo -n Starting ${name}: 
echo -n 1 
echo -n 2 
echo 3
;;
stop)
echo -n Stopping ${name}: 
echo -n 3 
echo -n 2 
echo 1
;;
*)
echo dddz
esac
}

load_rc_config ${name}
run_rc_command ${1}
---

It looks different, but this is the new way how the OS fires things up. 
Place this script as /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails. Don't add the 
extension to it (.sh). The use of extensions is old school. Chmod it to 
555 (or 755).


Now give it a spin:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails stop
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails restart
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails blah

See what happens and then boot your machine. You'll see how it starts 
and stops. Once you're satisfied, tweak it to your needs.



If you want to control all aspects of the thing then you should read:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-starting-services.html

Also read the rc.d(8) and all of its rc.* related man pages.


You can get lots of good examples in /etc/rc.d/. For instance 
/etc/rc.d/usbd is the simplest of them all.



Let us know how it goes.


Regards,
Mikhail.

Window reseizing

2007-06-05 Thread Ozan Enginoglu

I use fluxbox and i have a weird problem. I cant reseise windows. For
example aterm terminal window or mercury chat windows. All the windows
have borders and they look very normal. But i cant see resize cursor
when i move the cursor over the corner of the window.

At the beginning it was not a big problem but now it disturbs me. I dont
know if i did something wrong but i dont remember at all.

If you have any opinion pls let me know...

Thanks,

Re: GRUB / boot easy problems w / USB stick

2007-06-05 Thread Fred Davidson

Some thoughts:

1.  bsdlabel -Brw /dev/da0s1
- What is the option r?
- bsdlabel is supposed to create standard label
which probably
means creating da0s1a partition (can you call
bsdlabel /dev/da0s1 to
see what was created?) So your next command should be
newfs
/dev/da0s1a rather than newfs /dev/da0s1. And
commands after that
will need to be adjusted as well.

2. boot0cfg -B -s 1 -t -v 182 /dev/da0
It should be -v -t 182 rather than -t -v 182.
Not sure if it
matters though.

Hope this helps.
Andrey

Thanks Andrey,

great news! placing newfs on /dev/da0s1a instead of
/dev/da0s1 really helped.  Now GRUB recognizes the
filesystem on my usb partition. Here's what's new.

#I placed 1 UFS2 partition on my USB key at
#/dev/da0s1a. 

mount /dev/da0s1a /usb
mkdir -p /usb/boot/grub

#copied all files from /boot to /usb/boot and all
files #from /boot/grub to /usb/boot/grub (I know I can
make #it smaller but just copying all for now).  Next
I #invoked the grub shell and did the following:

grub root (hd1,0,a)

Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type is 0xa5.

grub setup (hd1)

Checking if /boot/grub/stage1 exists... yes
Checking if /boot/grub/stage2 exists... yes
Checking if /boot/grub/ufs2_stage1_5 exists... yes
Running embed /boot/grub/ufs2_stage1_5 (hd1)... 16
sectors are embedded.
Succeeded
Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p
(hd1,0,a)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst...
Succeeded
Done.

#I reboot, and am excited to see the grub menu I've
set #up.  Here is my menu.lst:

default=0
timeout=30

title NewOS
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/loader

#You might notice I made root hd0.  This is actually
#helpful for anyone setting GRUB up for the first
time.
#You see when setting up grub from the shell within
#your computer, your first hard drive is always hd0,
#and your usb stick can be anything after that (in my
#case hd1).  You can test this by placing an oddly
#named text file in each of your grub directories (1
in #hard drive, 1 in usb stick), then using find from
the #grub shell to indicate where that oddly named
file is #located:

grub find /boot/grub/weirdfile
(hd0,0,a)

#The main point is that when you reboot to your USB
#key, because it's now the first drive, it's probably
#going to be hd0, instead of hdx, thus my menu.lst.  

# Anyway, back to the menu selection.  When I choose
the 'NewOS', this is what I get:

Booting 'NewOS'

root (hd0,0,a)
Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type is 0xa5
kernel /boot/loader
[FreeBSD-a.out, loadaddr=0x20, text=0x1000,
data=0x32000, bss=0x0, entry=0x20]


BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
BIOS 631kB/980480kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(root @barney.msu.edu, Sun May 8 03:20:03 UTC 2006)

#This is the last line, and if I wait about five
#minutes it prints these additional lines:

can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more
detailed help.
OK _

#Again I'm pretty sure I must have the right 'hd'
#addressing.  I tested this by changing the root
#location to (hd1,0,a) which found the boot loader off
#of my hard drive and booted.  I tested this by moving
#the loader from my hard drive out of /boot, and
#rebooting, where upon it couldn't find loader
anymore.

Alright I'll leave it there. (Starving for that little
morsel of knowledge out there that will unlock this!)

-Fred

Can't you just download the java jre/jdk from the foundation's website
and pkg_add it by hand? That's what I've always done and never had
any real problems...you need to pkg_add -r javavmwrapper as well
though. Or is this some other strange java that openoffice
requires...
