Hello list,

Do we have already a tool equivalent to libux's ethtool?

Or does anybody here tried the linux's ethtool?

Thanks,

I suggest you install the metaport (from packages , much faster : portinstall 
-pP xorg ) and then delete what you dont need.

 But I also ask you... when I
 installed XFCE and GDM, Shouldnt have their dependencies already
 installed the basics of xorg so I could run the X?

if you check xfce + gdm dependencies you'll see they depend on xorg-libraries, 
not xorg, which makes sense - you may want to run your display on a remote 
machine - u need xfce + the libraries locally, and xorg in the box with the 
video card and monitor.

xfce4 enable shutdown

2007-07-23 Thread Andriy Babiy
Hi everybody,

I'm experiencing a minor problem with xfce4 - can't enable
reboot/shutdown options in the menu.
I had the following lines in my sudoers file (I used the second one):
1)
%groupnameALL = NOPASSWD:/usr/local/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper
2)
ALIAS_NAME ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

It worked just fine this morning. I upgraded some ports - all of them
are up-to-date now; I tried either of the lines and both, but
reboot/shutdown options are disabled. I am still able to reboot/shutdown
from the console using:
sudo shutdown -r (or -p) now
But the menu options stay disabled.
xfce documentation and google refer to the above mentioned lines. What
can I do else to enable reboot/shutdown options?

Thank you in advance!
Andriy

conftest, uid 0: exited on signal 11 - Normal?

2007-07-23 Thread David N

Hi,

pid 96087 (conftest), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

I've been googling around and people say its usually a hardware
problem or memory. I've done memtest86+ on all of them and it returned
fine. (I know it doesn't mean there isn't a problem), HDD SMART is all
good. But I've been getting it only when make-ing something or
upgrading a port, other than that, the system is fine and stable.

This happens so far on 3 machines, is this something to worry about or
is it normal?

All three are running 6.2-RELEASE-p4.
pc1 - P4 w/ HT disabled, 512MB ECC RAM, 2x SATA gmirror
pc2 - AMD 3000+, 512MB ECC RAM, 2x SATA gmirror
pc3 - Celeron 2Ghz, 256MB RAM, 1 IDE HDD

on the celeron and AMD i can get the conftest to core dump whilst port
installing the samba-3.0.25a_1,1, it happens near the end of the
initial configuration. I haven't tested it on the P4 yet.

PC1,PC2 machines load is around 0.1 most of the time, its mostly file
serving and light database use.

Are the conftest core dumps anything to worry about?

Regards
David N

   sudo had segfault issues that I believe were corrected today thanks 
to a few porter's hard work.

   Update your ports again and see if the issue still occurs for you.

installing manual pages

2007-07-23 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot

Hello,

When I went for FreeBSD, I chose the minimal distribution and as a result
do not have man pages. I would like to install them but when I specify an
fpt server (via sysinstall) I get:

Unable to transfer the manpages distribution from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org.

This is 6.2-RELEASE-p6 #4. I changed the name into any in sysinstall
options because otherwise it would complain that there is no such
distribution on the server.

What should I do to have the man pages installed?

Thanks!

It's possible that sysinstall tries to fetch manpages from a
non-existent place.  You can download the 6.2-RELEASE manpages
from the FTP site and install them manually.

The manpages can be found at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/manpages/

If you have wget installed, installing them should be as easy as:

  [1] Create an empty manpages/ directory

  # mkdir manpages

  [2] Enter the new manpages/ directory

  # cd manpages

  [3] Fetch the files from FTP

  # wget -nd -np -r -c 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/manpages/

  [4] Run the 'install.sh' script as root:

  # ./install.sh

That's all.  You don't even need to run sysinstall for this :-)

You're welcome, of course.  Enjoy the new manpages :-)

If you update your source tree (i.e. with CVSup, or freebsd-update), and
rebuild everything from the sources, you will get an even better set of
manpages, up to date with the latest sources.  It is not obligatory to
go through the manual rebuild-from-source process though; just a FYI in
case you ever need to do this.

Just guessing here, but if you have your .WAV bell set up via the KDE
system notifications, it may well be that knotify cannot output any
sounds in your GNOME session because artsd isn't running. Alternatively
to running artsd as part of your GNOME session, you can set up knotify
to use an external utility to play notifications, either via the KDE
Control Center or by editing ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc (by filling
in the External player line and setting Use Arts to false).

 Not an answer you want but.. Try using xf86-video-nv 2.1.2 (as opposed

quickie: howto? window manager xterms, but no kde/gnome/xfce

2007-07-23 Thread Steve Franks
I'm not totally opposed to what comes up in X if you start with no
.xinitrc, but it's a tad ugly.  I'd ideally like to have a nifty
window manager, like one of those new 3d ones, but I find no point in
running kde/gnome/xfce - I launch everything (firefox, etc.) from a
prompt anyway.  So howto?  I presume I just have to put some things
instead of exec xfce-session in my .xinitrc?  Is there a guide to
this somewhere?  Do most window managers configure pretty easily
without a desktop?  Is this a common demand?  I did the same thing to
XP at work and it's way less annoying in my opinion
([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]- change
Shell=c:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe from shell=explorer)
My friend got the idea for XP.  As far as we know it's a completely
unknown XP hack.  Please credit Scott Plumlee if you share/post it.

Thanks,

  I just opened a konsole, the KDE-hacked xterm, IIRC.  I had the
  BEL set to system bell and as with terminals, vi/vim/and
  other bell-type things just flashed the screen at me.  I do have
  full-screen flash set up in my Gnome menu settings.  Nothing I
  can do gets the .WAV bell to work under gnome.
 Just guessing here, but if you have your .WAV bell set up via the KDE
 system notifications, it may well be that knotify cannot output any
 sounds in your GNOME session because artsd isn't running. Alternatively
 to running artsd as part of your GNOME session, you can set up knotify
 to use an external utility to play notifications, either via the KDE
 Control Center or by editing ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc (by filling
 in the External player line and setting Use Arts to false).


Sounds like a good guess!   Since Gnome is my main desktop, 
where do I find the KDE control center/system notifications?  
Bear with me: I've used CTWM for at least 10 years... .

I *do* use artsd for my text-to-speech apps, so do have artsd
running.  I've poked around the FreeBSD knotifyrc config file
and find nothing on the External player= line.  But the
^[Misc] section is in my Ubuntu KDE file.  What goes there?
A path to a wav file?  The path to, say, xmms??  player needs
for clarification, so an example would help.


thanks much,

gary

Xorg upgrade (wrong library) issue

2007-07-23 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET
Hi,

I'm following the directions to upgrade Xorg (REALLY I AM, PROMISE!)
and I'm seeing this fly by my screen :

/usr/local/bin/bdftopcf -t lubR12-ISO8859-13.bdf | gzip

I won't go any further as I'm sure this is indicating a problem.
But where/how?

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5308 Jul 23 13:18 /usr/local/bin/bdftopcf
/usr/local/bin/bdftopcf:
libXfont.so.1 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1 (0x2807f000)
libc.so.5 = /lib/libc.so.5 (0x280e5000)

Looks like its picking up libXfont.so.1 from the /usr/X11R6 :

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  424992 Oct 26  2006 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1

and not from the local :

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  432705 Jul 23 13:18 /usr/local/lib/libXfont.so.1

What could cause it? How do I fix it mid build? Is there anything
else I should be looking at?

Re: is is able to setting up DNS server reverse lookup with DynamicIP?

2007-07-23 Thread Chuck Swiger

On Jul 22, 2007, at 9:04 PM, Olivier Nicole wrote:

With some delay, several answers together.


Very good.  :-)


For the example I gave, I am of course authoritative.

Are you?  Depending on which servers I query, I either get an
NXDOMAIN, an answer with no authoritative nameservers listed, or the
results you've shown.  That implies that there is something wrong
with the DNS delegation, and/or the various nameservers aren't
returning reliable results.


I think that the no authoritative means it is an answer from a
cache. Am I wrong?


If the server is configured to serve the zone as a primary or  
secondary, it ought to return authoritative; if the record is being  
served from cache, it will not be authoritative.



Perhaps part of the problem seems to be that:

% dig -t ns desktops.cs.ait.ac.th

;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

...doesn't return any A records to go with the NS record for
dns.cs.ait.ac.th.  It's also the case that every domain should have
at least two nameservers listed, and by strong preference at least
one nameserver should be on another subnet to improve reliability.


It should, because dns.cs.ait.ac.th has had a very stable IP for many
years and this one is served by 3 name servers.


Compare your answers to that of other domains.  Most big domains  
return A records for all nameservers listed; the rest return at least  
some A records as glue...



When I set-up the dynamic DNS, I did not replicate it because I was
not sure it woul dnot generate huge traffic, nor that redundancy was
as needed as for the static DNS.

But I am in the process of upgrading the hardware, so I will duplicate
the name servers also for the dynamic part.


OK.


It's not anticipated that a reverse lookup would return a CNAME
rather than a PTR.


CNAME in rDNS is to my knowledge the only way to delegate a subnet of
a class C:

I have a /24 IP range, /25 is static and /25 is dynamic. For
separation, stability, etc, I want to rDNS on /25 and that is not
possible without a trick:

in the zone declaration for the rDNS of the /24
170.41.192.in-addr.arpa. I have a line that says:

$GENERATE 128-254 $ IN  CNAME   $.170.41.192.rev- 
dns.cs.ait.ac.th.


hence the CNAME and the PTR are generated dynamically in the zone
170.41.192.rev-dns.cs.ait.ac.th


Ah, you're doing classless DNS delegation.  This is fine, so long as  
what your CNAMEs point to actually exists.  If you run something  
(modulo your shell) like:


  for x in `jot 128 128` ; do dig -x 192.41.170.$x ; done

...you'll notice that you get a good answer for something like:

  dig -t ptr 252.170.41.192.rev-dns.cs.ait.ac.th

...so the corresponding reverse lookup works:

% dig -x 192.41.170.252

It does sound like xorg 6.9 is installed. You can tell by doing

   pkg_info | less

as root. If you see something like

   xorg-6.9.0  X.Org distribution metaport
   xorg-clients-6.9.0_3 X client programs and related files from X.Org
   xorg-documents-6.9.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries 
from X.Org

   xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0_1 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 X.Org font encoding files
   xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.9.0_1 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 X.Org TrueType fonts
   xorg-fonts-type1-6.9.0 X.Org Type1 fonts
   xorg-fontserver-6.9.0_1 X font server from X.Org
   xorg-libraries-6.9.0_1 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org
   xorg-manpages-6.9.0 X.Org library manual pages
   xorg-nestserver-6.9.0_1 Nesting X server from X.Org
   xorg-printserver-6.9.0_2 X Print server from X.Org
   xorg-server-6.9.0_6 X.Org X server and related programs
   xorg-vfbserver-6.9.0_2 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org
   xterm-225   Terminal emulator for the X Window System

then you have xorg installed. If xorg-6.9 is installed there is no 
need to upgrade to 7.2 unless 6.9 does not work on your hardware.


If you also installed kde from the installation CD you will see 
something like:


  kde-3.5.6   The meta-port for KDE

followed by a bunch of lines starting with kde.

Did you follow the instructions in the handbook, 5.4: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html?


If you did this, and kde is not installed, try creating a file named 
.xsession as


   #!/bin/sh
   /usr/X11R6/bin/twm

and then type xdm from the console to start X. This gives you a very 
simple and (hopefully) self-explanatory window manager.


If all this works you can try to install kde as a package (i.e., 
pre-compiled) by:


   setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp2.FreeBSD.org (use the mirror nearest you)
   pkg_add -r kde

or you can install kde from your install CD. It is probably on disk 2. 
I personally think installing kde from packages is easier, especially 
if you are just starting out. There are easily 100+ packages required 
to support kde. It takes a long time to build and all the required 
packages.


Hope this helps. If you are going to use ports (i.e. build from 
source), it is (to me) much harder when you are starting out unless 
you know make and a bit of C, C++ so you can interpert the errors. In 
any case you should also update your port tree as previously suggested.





Re-bonjour,
after my first mail, i have as always looked for find the solution by my 
self. i vorked with cvsup and portmanager, in order to update and 
rebuilt all X11, xorg and their dependancies; i have

worked with portmanager -u. Cvsup. In the end, i have done:
portmanager /usr/Ports/X11/ -f -l.
pkgdb -F  /usr/ports/x11/xorg
Now i have the version 7.02 of xorg. when i do Xorg -config 
/root/xorg.config, i have as response: could not read default font 
fixed. what does it mean? what i must do?

i have choosed in xorg.conf.new: modes 1024x768, defaultdepht 24;
note that the new version of xorg recognise my driver, the 6.09 version 
did n't do that,  i was in vesa not nvidia driver.

thak you;
In few minits, i will do your proposition.

Re: no /boot/loader - after installation

So I got a copy of boot-only 6.2 onto cd and went back into the bios and
changed a few options:

LBA mode: off

Fast PIO: auto
32 bit transfer mode: on
Ultra DMA: auto

then ran the 6.2 install using dangerously dedicated which went fine and
then on reboot now it comes up with

no /boot/loader

so a slightly different message now, but still no go

 First you should try 6.2 which is the latest release.

 Check your BIOS that you are allowing to write to the boot area.  Many
 BIOS have a setting to not allow this to prevent a virus writing to the boot
 area.

I've never used the boot-only version.  So let me ask if you saw any issues 
with sysinstall?  Did you partition the disk and did newfs run without error?


Before you exit sysinstall you can check and see what is on the disks from 
the emergency shell on vtty4.  You can do a mount command and see what and 
where things are mounted and do an ls on those filesystems.

I run mlnet 2.8.7 *without* the GUI on 6.2 on a 533MHz VIA C3 (hardly a 
powerhorse) and it consumes very, very little CPU at all.  It does consume as 
much memory as it can, and the CPU load is high for the first minute after 
launching, but overall it runs very smoothly.

The advantage of running it headless is that you can use different GUIs to 
connect in from different hosts.  Sancho (http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net) is 
a good choice, but there are others.

Not yet... I haven't finished the upgrade. I'm still mid upgrade.
I won't go any further until I find out whats happening. So thats not
the case.

 and both appear in the
 library path hints, so the first one listed gets used when resolving the
 library paths at runtime.

So how did everyone else in the world get away without running 
into this? I see that it initially was put into /usr/X11R6 as part of
xorg-libraries-6.9.0 . The additional Xfont came about because :

1) portupgrade was upgrading xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 to 
encodings-1.0.2,1
2) portupgrade then realized it needed mkfontscale so started to work
on that
3) mkfontscale needed libfontenc

4) With those 2 resolved, it then went for bdftopcf

5) bdftopcf needed libXfont

So at this point it was installing libXfont when it already had
the one from xorg-libraries-6.9.0 there, hence the problem apparently
started.
 
 (Hint: 'strings /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints' and 'ldconfig -r')
 
Ok, so what do I do now? I'm mid build, I don't have X installed
or running, and I have atleast 1894 font files that are incorrect at the
current moment I still don't get why I ran into this and others didn't.
Did I miss a step that would have removed the xorg-libraries?

Re: Intel G965 chipset?

2007-07-23 Thread Bruce Caruthers

Here's a followup, so anyone checking the archives
will know what to do...  (and if it helps the group
overall, even better)

Much thanks to those who tried to help.  As I was
running a Pentium on an Intel board, it never
occurred to me to even look at the amd64 variant,
until I realized the one guy with the same mobo who
had posted with related problems (although able to
install) mentioned he was using amd64, whereupon I
checked my cpu and the FreeBSD/amd64 pages and
discovered that it applied to my hardware.
Downloaded amd64 and installed over ftp, and voila,
my system runs!  Hooray!


=== System:
Intel DG965WH mobo (G965 Express chipset, ICH8R)
Pentium 4 (631) CPU
2 RAID-1 pairs of Hitachi 320GB SATA300 (ar0, ar1)
Phillips DVR-109 DVD drive


=== Successful Install:
* 6.2-RELEASE-amd64: booted from downloaded CD,
  installed via ftp (would not let me even select
  CD as media, which presumably would have failed
  anyway, given the Marvell problem)
* Will now apply Antony's pata patch, and see if
  that new kernel makes everything work right.  If
  nothing else, the system seems to be up and
  running (only need CD for installs, all else is
  headless use)


=== Failed Attempts:
* 6.2-RELEASE-i386 failed to even begin the install,
  despite trying all beastie menu boot options

* 6.2-STABLE-i386-200706 failed to even begin the
  install, despite trying all beastie menu boot
  options

* 7.0-CURRENT-i386-200706 appeared to install, but
  never could complete booting (froze at different
  dmesg output spots, depending on beastie boot
  choice, but still never made it to a login)

* 6.2-RELEASE-i386 via 7.0-CURRENT-i386 as installer,
  (reconfigured in options settings to install 6.2
  over ftp) -- in the hopes that being able to bypass
  the CD/DVD drive would let me get up and running --
  alas, still no joy, although got about as far as
  7.0-CURRENT (i.e. appeared to install, but couldn't
  actually use the system)

Thanks!

I suppose the bevelled edges of window decorations

 It compiles and runs here (6.2  7 i386), although

you can disable the version check for the extensions - they may still not run 
(they may even crash ffox! :) ), but at least there'll be a real reason behind 
the crash, rather than just a version check.

Re: installing manual pages

2007-07-23 Thread Jonathan Horne
also good to keep in mind, that if you're going to be rebuilding the world and 
updating that minimal install to -STABLE or RELEASE-p[latest], that you'll be 
installing the man pages along with the updated world as well.

cheers,

Re: mount that cant be killed

hi,
  just found out that i have some mount process that cant be killed. I 
was

trying to mount a digital photo frame but failed, I issued mount_msdos
/dev/da0 /mnt on console. After seeing it not returned, I login from
another console and killed the previous login. Now the mount process is
still there. what should I do instead of reboot?? thanks!!

TFC


It's most likely stuck on some sort of signal handler or section of code.

Try signals 1-25 and see which one does kill mount.

You should email the maintainer though and let them know of your 
results, esp if you get a core dump from mount.
