You have to rebuild everything that uses gettext to fix the problem. A
portupgrade -fr gettext
kind of fix.

Re: System hangs when I go from X to console (nvidia)
I have a similar issue with an MX440SE. From what I've read the likely candidate is ACPI (try disabling it with option 2 from the FreeBSD boot menu). Works for me. I'm using the nv driver from the XFree port, you might need to research further for using the nvidia-supplied drivers. Wayne Thanks for the reply Wayne. Option 2 on my boot menu is enable instead of disable so it looks like it's already disabled. I did however try enabling it, but unfortunately it had no effect on the problem.

Custom startup+shutdown scripts
I am shortly going to try and install a Belkin universal UPS on one of my FreeBSD machines running 5.2 using the nut utility. Due to a failing in the Belkin protocol it requires some custom startup/shutdown scripting to make it work in an unsupervised recovery, This is shown in point 4 of http://eu1.networkupstools.org/protocols/belkin-universal/ The shutdown code needs to be run without disks mounted as read/write since it effectively holds the machine until power comes on or the UPS batteries die, in the latter case this would cause an unclean shutdown with the disks fully mounted and system up. The startup script needs to be run before disks are mounted in read/write and before filesystem checks for similar reasons. I've looked through some of the rc scripts, namely rc.shutdown and a few others but really aren't sure as to where I should make these changes so they execute at the correct time in the boot/shutdown process. Could anyone tell me where I should be making these additions?

4.9-RELEASE + XP Pro problem

Re: System hangs when I go from X to console (nvidia)

Switching to console would make it hang while the letters on the console appeared very faint. Searching on the linux forum of the nvidia site I found people having the same problem as well as a workaround: put 'Option IgnoreDisplayDevices TV' in the 'Screen' section of XF86Config, disabling the TV-out. I had read that too, except that it should go in the device section. However, I tried in screen section but it didn't improve matters. XFree86.0.log shows that the option is being used though. a working console is much more important for me.) I agree that a working console is far more useful than TV out. Hmm, if you have another machine and a network you could try to do a remote login and see if that works. If you succeed to login (ie. the machine is still alive but displays nothing on the screen), you might be able to bring it back killing X. A very good point (can't believe I didn't think of it). I opened an SSH session on my SGI and ran 'top'. As soon as it switched to console 'top', and the SSH session, froze. Not sure if this helps but I wish you good luck. Karel.

First time installation - 5.2
Hi all folks, This is my first time installing UNIX - FreeBSD 5.2 Harward - Graphic card - Creative Graphic Blaster RiVA-TNT - One IDE ATA-hard disc - connected to ATA controller (Entire disc for FreeBSD) - 2 ethernet cards, Realtek - USB mouse - 3 buttons, wheel - CDRom - secondary slave - CDWriter - secondary master - 101 keyboard Installing media - CD1 Installation went through without complaint with auto-partitioning. Coming to X configuration, no USB mouse driver was available for selection compelled to select PS/2 mouse instead. It did ask for selecting video card driver and rebooted automatically. X window started but I have no idea which mode it was. Mouse did not work. The screen pop-up with a mouse pad/key pad and a small XFConfig diagram. I have no problem to navigate the mouse with key pad, highlight the item but could not select it. 'Enter' key did not function. Finally I pressed a hard-reboot to restart the PC. PC restarted going straight to text mode with login popup. I entered 'root' and then 'startx'. This time X window could not start. Kindly advise how to fix it. TIA. B.R.

Re: 4.9-RELEASE + XP Pro problem
Hello All, I'm having a hell of a time getting XP Pro and 4.9 on the same drive. I've tried various ways to get them to co-exist to no avail. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish; 30 GB HD total First 24 GB = XP Last 6 GB = 4.9 Installed XP first, then 4.9, said NONE at the boot menu during install. There is your problem right there. You should have selected the full MBR. Then everything would have fallen in place with none of that other fixboot stuff at all. Just make sure your XP is fully installed first and boots OK Then install FreeBSD and select the MBR (not 'none' and not 'standard') After that, when you boot, it will come up and prompt something like: F1 = Dos F2 = FreeBSD Hit the appropriate function key and it boots. Skip pressing a key and it boots to the system it was most previously in. If you have more than just XP and FreeBSD, such as the machine I am currently typing on has a Dell Maintenance slice, then the function key selection will look a little different, but essentially the same. If your XP is using an NTFS file system the prompt might be ??? as in F1 = ??? (Dell Maintenance) F2 = ??? (XP NTFS slice) F3 = FreeBSD (Obviously, FreeBSD) That can be a little annoying, but can be lived with. If you can't live with it, once you get things all done, you can install a more elaborate boot loader that will allow you to fix up the labels, such as grub. This all works just fine if you just do the right thing and don't try to outguess it. Went to reboot and bsd had taken over either the boot sector or the mbr. Tried xp recovery console, fixmbr, fixboot, nothing worked, bsd continues to boot up by default. Yes, because you did not install the MBR at install time. So, the none effectively only knows how to boot FreeBSD. jerry What I want is to have the nt boot loader give the choice to boot into bsd by using the boot1 - bootsect.bsd method in boot.ini.

Re: power point
hi, is there a way to convert ms powerpoint presentation into jpegs? or to view it under Freebsd? Install Openoffice. It has a presenter that can open Powerpoint files to show them or incorporate them in to presentations. You might have to tinker around to get things like you are used to, but it should work. You might prefer installing Openoffice as a precompiled package because it is very large and takes a long time and a lot of resources to build from ports. Go to: http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ They have a package for FreeBSD download it to /usr/local and run pkg-add on the .tgz file. Then run /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/soffice Unfortunately, the instructions incorrectly says to run openoffice instead of soffice to get the setup going. Also, the install allows you to replace the installation path. I suggest you leave it as /usr/local, but change that OpenOffice.org1.1.0 part to something a little more friendly. The essential callable binaries will be put in /usr/local/bin so you will need to have that in your path and do a rehash. Also, there are two files - one is soffice.cfg and I don't remember the other at the moment (and am not near my system with openoffice) that it will complain it can't find when you try to run something. Just go to the directory they are expected to be in .../openoffice/conf I think, and do touch soffice.cfg and the same to the other one. An empty file is OK. You may add config things later if you discover the need. Also, don't wory about when it complains some Java stuff isn't present so certain features won't be available. I haven't found anything that won't work because of it. Probably something obsure or cutsie.

freebsd not boot
Hi, I am trying to run freebsd 4.9 on a PC / IDE architecture. I have one IDE drive and two 3COM 3c90 Network Cards and CD-ROM The PC will be a dedicated FreeBSD box. I have installed freebsd v4.9 , using the whole 4G disk which is bootable and installed 'Standard MBR - no boot manager' and disabled all the drivers (SCSI) that I do not use. The problem is when I reboot nothing happens apart from another hard reset. The PC then does a Hard reset and the same recursive process occurs again. No, useful messages appear at all !!! I have created bootable floppies which I can boot from but I am not sure what to perform next , apart from re-install with different options which result in the same depressing results. I am not sure what to do regarding the 'Fixit' option as most shell commands do not work. Any help would be appreciated.

So gettext updated libintl.so.5 to libintl.so.6 so mozilla and gvim and evolution and almost everything complained with the same error you are seeing. I'm not sure if this is your problem.

Yes -- those can both be done. To stop a user FTP'ing into the machine, add their username to the /etc/ftpusers file. Confusingly that's the list of people not permitted to be ftp users... See ftpusers(5) for some more fine grained controls you can have via that file. Note that this stops the users accessing their accounts on the FreeBSD box via any local FTP server -- it doesn't stop them from running an FTP client and downloading stuff from remote sites. If it's the latter that you want, then that's much harder to achieve. You can create a unix group for all of the people permitted to run ftp clients (ftp, fetch, wget, any web browsers, etc.), set the group ownership of those binaries to the ftp-allowed group and change the permissions to mode 0750. Even so, if the user can compile or otherwise obtain their own copy of one of those clients there's not a lot you can do to stop them using it. You can set up ipfw(8) or some other packet filter to prevent anyone making outgoing ftp connections to arbitrary sites -- you could also provide an FTP proxy service on your firewall (use ipfw rules to force everyone to use the proxy, or implement some form of transparent proxying) which requires authentication from the user. Squid can do that sort of thing, as can the fw-tk stuff (although you'll have to write some scripts to wrap around the components provided via fw-tk). Both available in ports. As for e-mail: to prevent a user sending or receiving e-mail, you need to use the access DB feature. Look at /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README, particularly the sections under 'blacklist_recipients' and the stuff under the heading Finer control by using tags for the LHS of the access map. It's also possible to force your users to authenticate before they can submit a message to sendmail(8), but that's not generally done as it's too intrusive. It also entails recompiling sendmail with SASL support and quite a bit of setup work.

You can certainly remove those users and groups, but it's unlikely to gain you very much and quite likely to cause you some problems. It will certainly make it harder for you to do routine updates on your system, possibly including some security patches. So long as you don't alter the entries in the master.passwd and group files for those entities, you're pretty safe. Those IDs exist mostly to be the owners of various files: note that the shell has been set to /sbin/nologin and the password for those accounts has been locked and that they have no special privileges despite the low UID and GID numbers -- as such they are rather less dangerous than the account you use to log in via.

SOLVED: Storigen ES Reboots and LCD types
Found the problem with booting the Storigen 1U servers : They are based on the Tyan Thunder S2510 (Serverworks III) motherboards, and they have DSDT tables that are not initialized properly. Adding the following line to the /boot/loader.conf file fixed it : acpi_dsdt_load=YES There is also a way to reset this in the hints file (a dsdt variable), but I have not done this. And, with the LCD questions, one of the servers had a refurbished LCD, that still had the original manufacturer's name and model number (Phew!). It is a Matrix Orbital LK162 (R200). Does anyone know how to identify and control the stupid card in between the LCD and the motherboard? I want to display data to that LCD, but the controller is not allowing me to do so.

[...] Installed XP first, then 4.9, said NONE at the boot menu during install. Went to reboot and bsd had taken over either the boot sector or the mbr. Tried xp recovery console, fixmbr, fixboot, nothing worked, bsd continues to boot up by default. I would expect the XP recovery stuff to get you back to XP. I've used that under W2K. But you don't want to get back to XP quite yet... What I want is to have the nt boot loader give the choice to boot into bsd by using the boot1 - bootsect.bsd method in boot.ini. OK. This is from memory of what I did a year or so ago, so consider it an approximate guide. You obviously already know some of it: 1) While you are still in FreeBSD, make a copy of /boot/boot1 on an MS-DOS floppy. 2) Use the FreeBSD fdisk utility to mark the XP partition as the only active partition. That should get you booting into XP. 3) Copy boot1 from FreeBSD into the root XP directory, and edit XP's (hidden) bootloader configuration file to include an entry that points to boot1. While you are at it, give Windows a proper name, such as Windows XP Virus in the boot menu. That should be about it. Details that you will need can mostly be found in an old FAQ that explains how to dual boot FreeBSD and Windows NT somewhere on the FreeBSD site. Like maybe here: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER What I'm I doing wrong here? I don't know why you can't get back to XP with the tools you've tried, but there is no need to install the FreeBSD boot manager. XP's loader is prettier, so you might as well use it, as described above. If you have already installed the FreeBSD boot manager, you might want to write a standard MBR back to the disk and then use the XP loader.

This is rarely useful, although occasionally someone will want to set up the disk so that it always boots one particular slice if booting from the hard disk, and boot from a floppy to boot other slices. Also, the boot manager gets installed to the MBR; you can't have it installed at the same time as the standard boot record. This is why the boot manager is so minimally featured; it fits completely into the MBR, and so has to stay within 512 bytes. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello bsd, I have FreeBSD 4.8R, NATd, ipfw enabled. I want to add a rule to ipfw which activate from 3AM to 3PM : says: ipfw 05000 add deny all from 192.168.1.21 to any So I created a shell script lets say deny.sh says the above rule and I chmod +x the script. Second shell script lets say enable.sh to delete this ipfw which sure says ipfw delete 05000 So in this case I have to shell scripts one will Activate the ipfw rule (add) and will deactivate it (delete). How to run the scripts? thro crontab I fixed my crontab to 0 3 * * * /path/deny.sh 0 15 * * * /path/enable.sh Am i doing something wrong? is it a stupid thing? The crontab runs at the schedualed times and I can see in /var/log/cron /usr/sbin/cron[18525]: (root) CMD (/path/deny.sh) But the ipfw will not be added! why? the email log says: ipfw: not found why? is it a crontab mistake? shell script mistake? ipfw? I tried many many other commands in the shell script such as mkdir, rm-rf whatever.. all works, except this ipfw? Any advise? Help? better ideas?

If you have ImageMagick installed, take a look at the the import(1) command. It will take screen shots and save the output in many differnt formats depending on how you launch it. For example, $ import screen.jpg ... will turn the cursor into a cross-hair and it will take a screen capture of whatever window you click on in JPEG format. Not sure if this is quite what you are looking for based on your question. Nathan -- gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D8527E49 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: 4.9-RELEASE + XP Pro problem
I'm having a hell of a time getting XP Pro and 4.9 on the same drive. I've tried various ways to get them to co-exist to no avail. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish; 30 GB HD total First 24 GB = XP Last 6 GB = 4.9 Installed XP first, then 4.9, said NONE at the boot menu during install. Went to reboot and bsd had taken over either the boot sector or the mbr. Tried xp recovery console, fixmbr, fixboot, nothing worked, bsd continues to boot up by default. What I want is to have the nt boot loader give the choice to boot into bsd by using the boot1 - bootsect.bsd method in boot.ini. What I'm I doing wrong here? I just did a dual boot setup with XP and 5.2. I chose none intentionally, installed FreeBSD, then as I was rebooting, put in my GAG disk and installed GAG as my boot loader. It found both my FreeBSD partition and my XP partitions. I set it up, and I can safely boot into either o/s fairly easily. Gag is available on sourceforge. If you want to use Gag, that's fine. It isn't necessary if you don't mind limited labeling in the Boot Manager prompts. That works fine too. jerry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_DEL): Invalid argument
Hello... ipfw allows user to specify a list of rules in a file and then access it with an absolute path. example: ipfw /etc/rules Deleting a non-existent rule will make the ipfw stops processing the file immediately. May be I am missing something here, but I still don't see the reason why deleting a non-existent rule is considered to be a stopper. Is there any security impact if we let the ipfw keeps continue processing the rest of the file? /Budi __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: Boot loop in FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE after install - FIXED!
Well THAT'S weird... I wondered if there might be some strange data left on the drive (I had a 4.7-RELEASE install on it prior to this), so I stopped the system in POST and entered the Adaptec system utilities. I then did a low-level format of the drive. Reinstalled and Hey Presto - booted up fine! I wonder if the /boot/loader program found some bad data left over from a prior install that it didn't validate and that corrupted the boot process? Dunno, but it's up now. THANKS!!

They don't work. Fortunately I was able to: 1. Hook a null modem to the serial port and my laptop. 2. Run hyperterm on my laptop to view serial port data. 3. During the initial boot load hit ESC to get the Boot: promt, then do -h to switch to serial console. 4. Capture the stuff on the serial console. What it does is repeatedly go through the BTX boot loader, saying something like (this is from memory): BTX loader... BIOS Drive A is disk 0 BIOS Drive C is disk 1 BIOS Drive D is disk 2 BTX loader... BIOS Drive A is disk 3 BIOS Drive C is disk 4 BIOS Drive D is disk 5 BTX loader... and so on. Eventually it runs out of drive numbers and starts saying Can't figure out our boot device a few times, then crashes with an assert error. Looks like the loader is just looping until it runs out of heap. That suggests that it may be confused somehow. I saw the crash/assert type scenario if the boot blocks are not installed properly. Ie the MBR is updated with the bootmgr (F1 .. bit) but the 2nd/3rd stages were corrupted somehow. (In my case I accidentally overwrote the blocks with some experiementation) You can reinstall boot blocks using bsdlabel (or disklabel on 4.9) If you can boot from floppy/CD, get into fixit mode. Then run: bsdlabel -B da0s1 (assuming da0 is the disk you are trying to boot from) If I try to boot directly into the kernel the cursor changes from a blinking underscore to a solid block and the system just locks up. In no case is there an error message or any other indication that something is weird. Have you tried 4.9-RELEASE on this system? I understand that 5.2.1-RC2 ISO is also available which might be another option.
