Re: cvsup problems
I think that maybe your cvsup configuration file may have a typo. Maybe practice with upgrading your ports tree first? Copy the example 'ports-supfile' from /usr/share/examples/cvsup/, edit the *default host= entry and run that: = cd cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile . vi ports-supfile change the '*default host=' entry to point to a valid repository. cvsup -g -L 2 ~/ports-supfile = There is a great tutorial on using portupgrade and cvsup here: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html Since the ports tree is the same for all versions of FreeBSD (I believe), it might make sense to start with them. Once you get cvsup working on your ports tree, then you can figure out which source tree to cvsup to stay current with your kernel and userland. hope this helps, -Mike On Mon, Feb 23, 2004 at 12:42:13AM -0700, RYAN vAN GINNEKEN wrote: I just installed freebsd 4.9 is it the stable branch right now ???

how to extract winzip files?
Hello, Is there a way, I can uncompress zip files made under win? Unzip from ports collection probably can't do that: End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. and I'm sure this is not multipart archive or broken file.

How to access to Compact Flash on 4.9-RELEASE
Hi there: I have a CF reader and I have problems on access on it. I've used from MacOS X but the machine are not currently on my hands (it's property of my last employer) and I suppose that FreeBSD is capable of doing thing on it. The reader is a Transcend, below is what dmesg says about it. I'm using 4.9-RELEASE (I haven't easy access to the net and I have not phone line at home 8-(( ). I have device atapicam on my custom kernel. The device appears on dmesg: zolocho# dmesg | grep umass umass0: ScanLogic SSFDC-CF 0.74! ScanLogic SSFDC-CF 0.74!, rev 1.10/0.74, addr 3 I've searched on man pages. So, camcontrol says: zolocho# camcontrol devlist -v scbus0 on ata0 bus 0: at scbus0 target -1 lun -1 () scbus1 on ata1 bus 0: IDE DVD-ROM 16X 2.0 at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0) PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W4824A 1.04at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,cd1) at scbus1 target -1 lun -1 () scbus2 on umass-sim0 bus 0: ScanLogi c SSFDC-CF 0.74!at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (probe0) at scbus2 target -1 lun -1 () scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0: at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0) As I can read on man umass(4) I've scanned with umass my multislot card reader (is cf and sc capable) zolocho# camcontrol rescan 0:0:0 Re-scan of 0:0:0 was successful zolocho# camcontrol rescan 0:0:1 Re-scan of 0:0:1 was successful zolocho# camcontrol rescan 0:0:2 Re-scan of 0:0:2 was successful zolocho# camcontrol rescan 0:0:3 Re-scan of 0:0:3 was successful Well, It seems that I can access to the decive. So, I'll try to fsck it: fsck da0 Ops!. Reboot I've tryed with: disklabel -w -r da0 cf Ops! Reboot I've found another one anyonning thing: zolocho# sh ./MAKEDEV da0 zolocho# cd - zolocho# camcontrol start da0 camcontrol: cam_lookup_pass: CAMGETPASSTHRU ioctl failed cam_lookup_pass: No such file or directory cam_lookup_pass: either the pass driver isn't in your kernel cam_lookup_pass: or da0 doesn't exist Definitively I have da0 created and I do have pass driver on my kernel. I don't know very good this kind of devices but I have seen that in Linux is veeery easy. *Without* atapicam on the kernel was possible doing camcontrol start da0 but anything related to fsck'ing the device, newfs the device or anything, give me another one system's freeze. I have checked on FreeSBIE (as you know a FreeBSD 5.X-based LiveCD) but the result was not better. I've seen the work done on Linux but I won't install a Linux just to create a cf'ed *FreeBSD* image. ;-) Can you point me, please?. Thanks in advance.

Re: Help with Vinum disk crash...
Greg, Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunatly I ran out of time and resorted to a restore of week old data. No big loss for me, but I really wanted to debug this to better understand what happened. I think it went something like this: ide drive crashes. kernel panics (for this or some other reason). ufs gets screwed up on the drive because of the panic. I can't prove any of this since I urgently needed about 150gb of space. So I re-formatted. Like I said it is a shame since I wanted to understand what happened now, but, then again, I was looking for an excuse to change back from vinum to normal. vinum and ide on my system results is very poor disk performance, I see a 10-fold increase in read/write actions. I'll be interested in revisiting vinum with some SCSI disks sometime soon. Anyway, thanks once again both of you for the efforts. -D ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Help needed modifying shutdown scripts
I am trying to use some custom startup+shutdown scripts to control a Belkin UPS using the nut utility. Essentially to achieve what is shown in point 4 of http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ups/belkin-universal-ups.html Before continuing, here is the output of uname -a: FreeBSD magellan.dom.bishnet.net 5.2.1-RC2 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2 #1: Sun Feb 22 02:52:35 GMT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/u2/usr/obj/u2/usr/src/sys/MAGELLAN i386 The startup section is working fine, I created my own script in /etc/rc.d and it runs at the correct time. The shutdown bit however is causing me problems, I inserted my code into rc.shutdown under the section headed # Insert other shutdown procedures here Since FreeBSD doesn't seem to remount disks read-only during this script I first unmounted all unnecessary partitions and then made sure /, /usr, /var were all mounted read-only, as these are needed for the UPS driver to run. The UPS driver runs as expected and sits there monitoring battery power, however I get a fair few processes exiting on signal 11 which is worrying and then more worrying is that it kills the driver, and completes halting the system. Once in this state the system will never come back when AC power returns which is of course not desirable. Here is console output from around the point of the driver starting onwards: (Currently the script calls mount with no arguments so I could check that the mounts were as I expected, hence the mountpoint entries) pid 478 (mountd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 /dev/ar0s1a on / (ufs, local, read-only) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) /dev/ar0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, read-only) /dev/ar0s1d on /var (ufs, local, read-only) Waiting for AC power, or for UPS batteries to run out...

Most importantly can anyone tell me how to stop the system being shutdown before rc.shutdown terminates? (the UPS driver stays in foreground until the battery runs out, unless AC power returns in which case it calls reboot) I'm guessing that all the sig 11s are due to filesystems being mounted read only, but what I don't understand is why these processes are even still running? All of these processes are controlled by rc.d and looking at rc.shutdown they should have been stopped before the section I've placed my code is reached. ie in the section: # Determine the shutdown order of the /etc/rc.d scripts, # and perform the operation This got me curious so I created a simple test script which was a copy of the original rc.shutdown with the watchdog timer bits removed and the running of rc.d script shutdown set to simply echo the command instead, when run it output this: run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/exim stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/inetd stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/localpkg stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/jail stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/cron stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/local stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/nfsclient stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/ipfs stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/random stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/swap1 stop . This seems to be a rather small subset of the scripts in rc.d that are run on startup, and notably excludes commands to stop all the processes I was getting sig 11s from. Am I missing something here? So in summary, the most important thing I wish to fix is to stop the OS from halting whilst the UPS driver is still running as at the moment it leaves me with the possibility of the system not resuming unattended. The less important aspect is stopping the sig 11s from those processes as it would be nice not to get a whole bunch of .core files in my / ;-) However I can live with them if I have to.

ufs and Plextor PX-708A 1.04
I'm running 4.9-stable from November. I've recently installed a Plextor PX-708A v1.04 DVD rewriter. I'm getting good results using growisofs. On the belief that +RW support random access, for a bit of fun I created a ufs filesystem on the device with freshly formatted DVD+RW media: disklabel -r -w cd0c auto newfs /dev/cd0c mount -o noatime /dev/cd0c /mnt On the face of it, the mounted filesystem then appears to work. However, intermittently (within minutes, but after several MBs), read errors occur: (cd0:ata1:0:0:0): READ(10).

Thanks, akshay. Hi, you have a number of options open to you, you can try a POP3 installation, you could get adventurous and go for IMAP. A Webmail setup is also one way to deal with your situation. You could even get really carried away and install all of the above. A quick check in the ports dir and qpopper is available as is solidpop3d and a number of others. I guess the trick is for you to work out which one suits your situation best. FWIW webmail can be a bit cumbersome at times your users might prefer POP3 or IMAP.

RE: Mail on FreeBSD
Hi, You should take a look at IMP (http://www.horde.org/imp/) or Squirrelmail, both of which are webmail solutions, and both can be found in the ports tree. They do however, require either a POP3 or IMAP server, and a server with PHP and a few other minor dependencies. Alternatively, you could try neomail, which can access local mailspool files using just perl. Good luck.

During the sysinstall process of FBSD is where your mouse gets configured. You seem to think that mouse is not working just because you can not get it to work in x-desktop environment. Does the mouse pointer arrow work when in native FBSD at the command line? Your rc.conf file should have this # for ps/2 mouse moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto # for USB mouse usbd_enable=YES Do not have ps/2 mouse statements in rc.conf if USB mouse is plugged into system at boot time.

One thing is which I cannot understand! Why shouldn't (the default) generic kernel has such devices like /dev/pcm already loaded like Linux for instance? Another issue is that the NVIDIA drivers is so hard to be installed in FreeBSD that you prefer you never try do something like that! What I want to say is that people who create FreeBSD, it would be a nice idea to have some things fixed for the users. Otherwise our life becomes a lot harder! Who wouldn't like to have the most stable system in the world for free even when it runs Linux applications even faster than Linux? But if FreeBSD is so hard to install and configure then you wonder why should I get myself in so much trouble when I can do my job easier with Linux for instance? I don't want to blame you for anything on the contrary I thank you for doing all that stuff for free. But I think that for such great programmers like you who where able to built such a system from scratch it is not so difficult to do some simple modifications which will make our life much easier! By the way do you know where can I download an C/C++ IDE for FreeBSD such that I do not have to create the makefiles myself? Kdeveloper is hard for me to use since it generates a lot of useless files. Do you have anything nice to suggest? Thanks in advance once again! Drosos. A couple things: 1) Always copy the list. 2) Wrap your lines at about 72 characters. In regards to your comments above, with all due respect it sounds like you might be happier with Linux, or possibly Microsoft Windows. The people on this list are usually more than happy to help you along as you get used to FreeBSD. Indeed, questions on this list range from simple to complex and the majority of questions get at least one response. The questions you pose above come across like complaining. Above you say, why should I get myself in so much trouble when I can do my job easier with Linux. This is a very good question and I would propose that you may have already answered it for yourself. You should use the operating system that best suits your needs. If that be MS Windows, great. If if be GNU/Linux, great. If it be MAC OS, great. If it be SunOS, great. If it be FreeBSD, all the better. FreeBSD has many things going for it and quite a number of people find it very useful, secure and stable. If what FreeBSD has to offer doesn't meet your needs, then certainly don't stick with it for some unknown reasons. All this said, and I speak for myself and likely most people on the list, FreeBSD is wonderful operating system. Once you get used to it, I suspect that you will find it very intuitive and easy to use. Like anything, it takes time to become acquainted with some; so, give it time and patience. In the mean time, welcome to FreeBSD, read the relevant portions of the FreeBSD handbook at www.freebsd.org, search for answers on your favorite search engine, use patiences, learn, ask questions on freebsd-questions maillist.

USB Timeout Period, KVM Problems
Hi all, Is there a setting somewhere sets a timeout period for USB inactivity. Better stated: I have an IOGear USB KVM that I use with the FreeBSD system I am writing this on (4.9) and every 2 hrs., the KVM stops functioning and I have to cycle its power. The USB port, however, that the KVM was attached to is disabled by the system and the only way I can get keyboard and mouse access again is to restart the system (or change the USB port that the KVM is plugged into - which is just as inconvenient as shutting down the system). I think that the problem is with the KVM, but until I can get a new one, I wanted to see if I could reset the USB controls on the system to reactivate that USB port when this happens. Any ideas?

Re: cvsup not working
Greg, I have the following cvsup file for my ports-upgrade: *default host=cvsup15.us.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all This works like a charm every time. The only differences I see are default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup -- you default base=/usr -- me If I understand this correctly, however, this won't have any impact on the ports collection, as it is the location of where cvsup keeps an index of what has been downloaded and what hasn't (i.e. a type of index for comparison to what is on the cvsup server versus what is on your machine). Also, I have the 'delete use-rel-suffix' on a separate line from 'compress' - this also should not make a difference. All you should have to do (I think regardless of the shell) is run: cvsup -g -L2 /directory/to/cvsupfile/cvsup-file What you are seeing at the beginning sounds right - i.e. the screen going crazy. When you think the connection has bombed out or something gone awrey with the cvsup run, you may want to go to another virtual screen or shell to see if you can still ping a server out on the net. It almost sounds like your modem connection is locking up and not cvsup.

I used it about a month ao with no problem. I have now tried it several times with no success. I even reinstalled the entire operating system twice. I activate my modum and type cvsup supfile. The box appears and I click the go tab. It goes wild for about 30 to 40 seconds downloading 40 to 50 files. This is okay. After that, it just dies. This is the problem. I don't understand why it dies. I have an external modem and after it dies, sometimes the transfer lights on the modum blink and sometimes theres no light at all. After it dies, it will go until it times out (15 to 20 minutes). I have FreeBSD 5.1. I installed the cvsup package off the 1st cdrom. I created 'cvsup' in the /usr/local/etc directory. I put my supfile under cvsup. I have csh, so I typed 'setenv CVS ROOT=/usr/local/etc/cvsup', which seems to work.

problem with USB hub
Hi :) I use a USB hub with a scanner and a printer plugged-in under FreeBSD-5.2-RC2. The USB hub is self-powered. After some time of inactivity, the hub turns of the ports where my devices are connected which means I cannot access my printer nor scanner anymore... I there a way to tell FreeBSD to send some activity to the USB port where the hub is connected to it does not turn off its ports ? I would really appreciate since the only solution for my printer and scanner to work again is to unplug and replug the USB hub. Thanks in advance.

FTP Problems with FreeBSD 5.2.1 RC 2 install
List, Would anyone have insight on problems accessing FTP installation sources for 5.2.1 RC2? I was installing just fine using ftp5.us.freebsd.org (mit.edu, I believe, one of the sources closer to me), and began to have the installation return to the menu for selecting my FTP source. Invariably the install would no longer return to the FTP menu and would ask me if I would like to retry the currently failing package. Replying Yes would produce no activity and replying No would skip that package and try the next one, exhibiting the same behavior. I restarted the install from scratch four times last night, and tried many mirrors from the main list and the USA list of FTP mirrors. My ISP had no network issues posted last night, and I could traceroute via my PowerBook on OS X with no issues. Does anyone know what my issue (besides ignorance) might be? Also, is there a way to gracefully get out of error issue with FTP without starting over with my install? Regards, -- Barry C.

Re: Install bug - 4.9 stable - post install circular reboot
I can confirm an issue posted Dec 3rd, freebsd-stable maillist, titled 4.9 install buglet. I experience this bug running the install (various configurations) 100% of the time. After install, after system reboot, the boot loader comes up with F1: FreeBSD, and reboots continually forever. To test, I made 3 installs without issue using 4.8. So first, I'd like to confirm the bug report, and ask the following. I'm running two systems with 4.9-STABLE and haven't seen this problem. I did see this kind of thing back in the 3.X days when my HD was not correctly detected by FreeBSD during an install. The solution was to create a small DOS partition on the HD and then do the install. I've done complete re-installs for 5.1-RELEASE on two other systems and haven't seen this, either.

To boot into single user mode at startup: - hit any key APART FROM ENTER when the system counts down from 10. This will take you to the boot prompt. - type 'boot -s' to boot into single user mode After booting into single user mode, to be able to write any changes /etc to disk you need to change the status of the / partition from read only to read/write mode. To do this execute: /sbin/mount -u / Note you should use the full path because /sbin may not be in your PATH for one reason or another. Now you can move on to fix any problems with /etc/rc.conf. If you really want to use ee(1) then you'll need to first mount the partition containing /usr/sbin since ee(1) resides there and if the partition containing /usr/sbin isn't mounted you won't be able to use ee(1). If /usr has it's own dedicated partition you'd do: mount /usr generally. Finally you should be able to do: /usr/sbin/ee /etc/rc.conf again using the full path to ee(1).

RE: Help needed modifying shutdown scripts
-Original Message- Subject: Help needed modifying shutdown scripts I am trying to use some custom startup+shutdown scripts to control a Belkin UPS using the nut utility. Essentially to achieve what is shown in point 4 of http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/ups/belkin-univers al-ups.html Before continuing, here is the output of uname -a: FreeBSD magellan.dom.bishnet.net 5.2.1-RC2 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2 #1: Sun Feb 22 02:52:35 GMT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/u2/usr/obj/u2/usr/src/sys/MAGELLAN i386 The startup section is working fine, I created my own script in /etc/rc.d and it runs at the correct time. The shutdown bit however is causing me problems, I inserted my code into rc.shutdown under the section headed # Insert other shutdown procedures here Since FreeBSD doesn't seem to remount disks read-only during this script I first unmounted all unnecessary partitions and then made sure /, /usr, /var were all mounted read-only, as these are needed for the UPS driver to run. The UPS driver runs as expected and sits there monitoring battery power, however I get a fair few processes exiting on signal 11 which is worrying and then more worrying is that it kills the driver, and completes halting the system. Once in this state the system will never come back when AC power returns which is of course not desirable. Here is console output from around the point of the driver starting onwards: (Currently the script calls mount with no arguments so I could check that the mounts were as I expected, hence the mountpoint entries) pid 478 (mountd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 /dev/ar0s1a on / (ufs, local, read-only) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) /dev/ar0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, read-only) /dev/ar0s1d on /var (ufs, local, read-only) Waiting for AC power, or for UPS batteries to run out...

Most importantly can anyone tell me how to stop the system being shutdown before rc.shutdown terminates? (the UPS driver stays in foreground until the battery runs out, unless AC power returns in which case it calls reboot) I'm guessing that all the sig 11s are due to filesystems being mounted read only, but what I don't understand is why these processes are even still running? All of these processes are controlled by rc.d and looking at rc.shutdown they should have been stopped before the section I've placed my code is reached. ie in the section: # Determine the shutdown order of the /etc/rc.d scripts, # and perform the operation This got me curious so I created a simple test script which was a copy of the original rc.shutdown with the watchdog timer bits removed and the running of rc.d script shutdown set to simply echo the command instead, when run it output this: run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/exim stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/inetd stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/localpkg stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/jail stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/cron stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/local stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/nfsclient stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/ipfs stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/random stop run_rc_script /etc/rc.d/swap1 stop . This seems to be a rather small subset of the scripts in rc.d that are run on startup, and notably excludes commands to stop all the processes I was getting sig 11s from. Am I missing something here? So in summary, the most important thing I wish to fix is to stop the OS from halting whilst the UPS driver is still running as at the moment it leaves me with the possibility of the system not resuming unattended. The less important aspect is stopping the sig 11s from those processes as it would be nice not to get a whole bunch of .core files in my / ;-) However I can live with them if I have to.

Which video adapter for dual-head 5.2-R/XF86 4.3?
Hi, I've done a lot of reading and searching mailing lists in an attempt to identify a graphics adapter that will run dual-head in FreeBSD 5.2/XFree 4.3 One of the problems with searching lists is what you see a lot of is people's problems and it tends to skew your impressions. There's lot's of posts on Nvidia and Radeon problems but is that because that's what everybody uses, the users are novices, or there are legit. problems? Let me describe what I do and what I'm looking for. I'm a java/web developer and I like a lot of screen real-estate. I use WindowMaker and make the most use of virtual screens as possible, and it's OK. Certainly MUCH better than a windows interface. But I've seen others using dual-head and I like what I see. I also need to buy a new adapter so now's the chance. I'm not a gamer so 3D performance is not the issue. Once in awhile I'll play 3D game so I'd like to have the ability to run accelerated 3D. Also, I won't be using flat panels so DVI output isn't important. I have two 19 Analog monitors with VGA connectors and that's what I want on a card. Finally, I'd like to keep the cost near $100US. I'm not sure if that's possible, but I'd like find out.

Re: changing the boot0 menu
In the last episode (Feb 23), Alan Freed said: I have a specific ? I use several OS's, and your bootloader finds them all; however, it prints a ?? on the screen because they are unknown to BSD. I look at the /boot/boot0 file which contains this information, but I don't know how to edit it. Do you have a way that I can edit the menu so that when I select a non-FreeBSD OS I know what I'm getting? It's a very simple boot menu. It has to fit inside the MBR, so it can't know about all partition types. If you want, you can cd to /sys/boot/i386/boot0/, edit the tables in boot0.s, run make obj make depend make make install then run boot0cfg -B da0 to reinstall the new bootblock into the disk. If you get an attempt to .org backwards message while compiling, that means you made the bootblock larger than 512 bytes, and you'll have to remove some of the other entries in the table. Note that it just goes by partition type, so it can't tell the difference between a w2k and a wxp partition, or different linux partitions. I suggest using grub from ports if you want a nice customizeable menu. It is going to take me a good week to get everything configured and running, but it seems that this will happen, it will just take time. You really need to get teTeX in your Ports distribution!!!

kern.shutdown_timeout sysctl
I just tried setting the value of the kern.shutdown_timeout sysctl and it failed with: sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.shutdown_timeout' I am trying to increase the maximum time allowed for rc.shutdown to run for reasons explained in my previous post Help needed modifying shutdown scripts From the source code of init (ie init.c) it clearly reads the value of this sysctl to override the default of 2 minutes: if (sysctlbyname(kern.shutdown_timeout, shutdowntimeout, len, NULL, 0) == -1 || shutdowntimeout 2) shutdowntimeout = DEATH_SCRIPT; But it appears that in reality this sysctl value doesn't exist, I looked through sysctl.h and couldn't see it in there either. Can I assume this is a bug and one or the other bit is wrong? And is there anyway to fix this? If it comes to it I can just override the default 2 minutes by altering the #define in init.c but I would prefer to not hack the source and have to re-edit after every src cvsup, especially since the sysctl would provide a much neater way of accomplishing it.

The 'b' partition is usually a swap area, which doesn't use any sort of filesystem at all. The 'c' partition usually maps to the whole slice -- that is, it overlaps all of the actual partitions you're using for your file systems. You very rarely need to access the 'c' partition specifically -- commands that affect the whole slice nowadays tend to take ad4s1 or the equivalent as an argument. Your /var and /usr partitions probably live on partitions 'e' and 'f' -- possibly 'g' or 'h' as well if you have any other partitions. disklabel(8) will show you what partitions have been allocated.

Re: fully deinstall X
Do a search on XFree86 and use the dependancies to delete it. You can do this the make search way or you can use a tool called portsearch that is located in /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/portsearch I copied it to a convenient location and then aliased it as alias search'portsearch -n $1'. Then if you search ^XFree86-4 you can see all of the dependancies. A number of ports are associated with XFree86 and have to be updated at the same time. All I see on a search for build-deps is freetype2 and imake but there have always been others. A portupgrade -Rrf XFree86 would rebuild all of the important ones, which includes all of the run-deps, and add any new ones that you need. It is handy to not be running X-Windows when you do this. You can remove all of XFree86 by pkg_delete -f 'XFree86*' but you also need to delete both imake's. You really have to reinstall everything that uses XFree86-libraries because it is a static library and you have to build all of the ports that refer to it. To do that, you just add -r to the pkg_delete command. All you need at that point is the time it takes to do the new installs. To rebuild XFree86 and all of the ports that use it can take quite a bit of time. okay I am trying to deinstall the imakes .. but it does not completely deinstall because its required by other packages. what else can be done here please? --- snip -- # pkg_info | grep XFree86 imake-4.2.0_1 Imake and other utilities from XFree86 imake-4.3.0 Imake and other utilities from XFree86 # pkg_delete -r imake-4.2.0_1 pkg_delete: package 'p5-GD2-2.07' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: p5-GD-Graph-1.43 p5-GD-Graph3d-0.63 p5-GD-TextUtil-0.86 reportmagic-2.21 pkg_delete: package 'imake-4.2.0_1' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: p5-GD2-2.07 # pkg_delete -r imake-4.3.0 pkg_delete: package 'p5-GD2-2.07' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: p5-GD-Graph-1.43 p5-GD-Graph3d-0.63 p5-GD-TextUtil-0.86 reportmagic-2.21 pkg_delete: package 'imake-4.3.0' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: p5-GD2-2.07 --- snip --- Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: fail to recognize sound device
Dear Sirs, Thank you for Giving FreeBSD for free. Basically I would like to ask you about a problem I have with the sound hardware which I wasn't able to resolve. And I also have some suggestions to make! After Installation when writing #startx, at the prompt KDE loads and I get a message than sound driver /dev/pcm couldn't be found. SuSE and Redhat both recognize my sound driver as 82801DB AC'97. Further more alot of stuff like xmms, and other applications were not installed although I checked them to be installed when I was asked. The funny thing is that those applications exist in /usr/.../ports. 1:How can I configure my sound device? Probably you still need to make a kernel config file and adddevice pcm to it and build a new kernel. Make a copy of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC in the same directory example NEWCONFFILE . Check in LINT in that same directory for syntax. Add the device pcm line (minus initial '#' if any Build kernel either by the old way config NEWCONFFILE cd ../../compile make depend make make install You might want to make a copy of the current kernel file before doing the make install, just in case. It lives in either /kernel or /boot/kernel depending on which version of FreeBSD you are using. Suggestions: 1: It would be really attractive if the installation of FreeBSD was as easy and comfortable(visual stuff) as SuSE's. 2: It would be nice if kdm or xdm or something was installed and needen't have to be configured after installation. For instance during the installation the user should be asked if he would like to have xdm or kdm installed ... But, probably 1/2 to 2/3 of those running FreeBSD servers don't want those things. So, ???FreeBSD is heavily used as a server OS - probably more so than as a desktop.Servers, some of which run without even a monitor hooked up, do not need nice looking desktop stuff. So, since it is is so easy to add if you want, it is better to start with just what everyone needs and then let everyone add the other stuff themselves. jerry Thanks in advance!

I translated a German howto into English some time ago. I have never used Postfix, so I cannot comment on its ease of setup or use, but I think once you understand the basics of an MTA and the subsequent POP or IMAP services, qmail is one of the most stable options out there. If interested, you can take a peek: http://stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/90.php The original HOWTO is at: http://pofo.de/HOWTO/qmail/ I can say that I have never been hacked and/or had any problems with the SMTP, POP or IMAP services locking up - ever... If you are not supporting multiple domains, then the vpopmail option may not be necessary - it is, however, an easy way to manage one or multiple domains with qmail as the MTA.

Re: backup
I think there are better ways per se, but that is usually personal opinion... That being said, there are a few questions: 1) how big of an installation are you trying to back up? 2) is it necessary to back up all of the information? 3) do you have access to a faster drive (this one may not be relevant, as you may have no other option)? The handbook has a good primer on backing up FreeBSD using dump, tar and cpio at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html Given the slow speed of USB 1.0 and assuming you are backing up a relatively large amount of data, you might want to try compressing your backup so that it does not take up so much space and therefore is able to made faster. A full dump backup of the /usr directory or slice is certainly advisable. You could do a compressed dump backup via: dump -0uan -f - /usr | gzip /volume_to_backup_to/usr_backup_date.gz If needed, you can then do this to all of the primary volumes/slices on your system (look at fstab if you aren't sure which are primary slices). You would need to use piping to restore the backup, though and that can get tricky if your new system that you need to restore the data to isn't sized the same as the old and isn't using the same version of dump. Considering the potential problems associated with dump, I still prefer it because I have never had problems using it myself. Another option is to use tar, but I rarely use it to make a compressed backup, so someone else might be more helpful with syntax. (man tar would also be helpful) HTH, Steve Fettig Richard Beyer wrote: We're currently doing a back up of a FreeBSD 4.9 (2) server by plugging a USB external drive in and then doing cp /dev/ad0 /dev/da0 This takes about 30 hours, (USB 1).

No big loss for me, but I really wanted to debug this to better understand what happened. I think it went something like this: ide drive crashes. kernel panics (for this or some other reason). ufs gets screwed up on the drive because of the panic. We already discussed this. The likelihood of such far-reaching damage is low. I can't prove any of this since I urgently needed about 150gb of space. So I re-formatted. Like I said it is a shame since I wanted to understand what happened now, but, then again, I was looking for an excuse to change back from vinum to normal. To be honest, I don't know what else we could have done, since you haven't supplied the information I asked for. vinum and ide on my system results is very poor disk performance, I see a 10-fold increase in read/write actions.
