cvsup synchronizes your source tree.  This ensures that whatever you build
will be using the updated code for the branch you are tracking.  However,
this is not like the binary upgrades you can do with some Linux
distributions like Debian's apt-get where it actually installs the updated
distribution as it downloads--as far as your running system is concerned,
no actual update occurs until you do a make buildworld/make installworld,
make buildkernel/make installkernel, or install a particular port using
the updated source code.

Portupgrade then uses the updated source code for the ports collection to
actually compile and install the selected port.

cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile and cvsup -g
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile separately update the sources for the
FreeBSD version you are tracking and the ports collection--if you are
running both every time you can combine them in a single cvsupfile that
updates everything in a single pass.

Cheers,

Viktor

Problem with Kingmax USB 2.0 Flash Drive on 4.10-R

2004-06-06 Thread freebsd-questions
I just tried a new Kingmax USB 2.0 256 MB Flash Drive on a box
with FreeBSD-4.10-RELEASE and the machine locked solid to the
extent that it only responded to the power switch.

I tried it several times, tailing /var/log/messages while I did
it, but each time I inserted the device, everything stopped.
And removing the drive did not help either.

Other USB stuff works fine; this particular flash drive works
fine on the Windows box at the retailer.

I'm still using the distributed GENERIC kernel.

Can anybody throw any light on this for me please?

Hi list,
One thing, that is making me _not_ using FreeBSD is, that I see no way
to easily upgrade from, say 5.1 to 5.2 (just an example), over network.
I mean, I have a server running, to which I have no physical access. The
only way to maintain it, is over SSH.
The upgrade instructions in INSTALL.txt suggest putting in the CD, and
using sysinstall for a binary upgrade. That is no option for me.
What I am looking for is an upgrade method which
- can be used over an SSH connection
- is not too difficult (like manually placing each piece in the right
place)
- does not leave old stuff on the HD (like the sysinstall method does,
AFAIK)
Generally this can be done (though it is not recommended) the way 
that is described in Chapter 21 of the handbook - you just don't 
drop into single user mode.
But you shouldn't track -CURRENT then, since -CURRENT 
developers tend to produce some horrible bugs every two or three 
months.
Do test this upgrade procedure on a local machine, so you know 
how things work.

... to make it short, something like the ports system (especially
portupgrade) does with non-system apps would be cool.
Is there a way to achieve that? This would be the one bit, which would
make me switch to FreeBSD.
I am convinced you will.

Yes you can do this, since cvsup retrieve's the latest sources for the 
ports and basesystem, while portupgrade actually uses those sources and 
installs them on your system..

Thus: You should first update your sources through cvsup, and then 
install them , or upgrade them via the ports system, or using 
portupgrade (For the upgrade).

Hope this helps,

Drivers

2004-06-06 Thread Doug Paquette
To whom it may concern at Free BSD,

I have a Compaq Proliant 8000 server that I would like to install Free BSD Version 4.9 
onto, but the raid controller or hard drives are not detected when I go through the 
install process.

I was wondering if you would have a copy of this version that would have the proper 
drivers included in the download or if you could tell me or point me in the right 
direction as to how to get the program to detect the drives?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

My first installation of FreeBSD was 2.0.5.  Since then I have
done a clean install for x.0 releases - as a matter of policy
(excuse to upgrade hardware, plus it cleans out orphaned files) but
not necessity.  (Or am I not remembering a red flag day between
2.x and 3.0?)
Between .0s, I have successfully upgraded using the method
described in the handbook.  These days I'm more worried about a
port upgrade trashing a config file.
Have I had problems?  Yes.  All of them turned out to be
hardware-related or me doing something stupid that broke the
process.

These email addresses are totally meaningless as they are made up / forged.
In fact, most spammers forge all parts of an email, except the last
connecting IP address in the headers (the one your ISP shows connection to).
Sorry, it would do no good as you have presented this currently. You must
trace the last IP address to whom owns that address, and send the full email,
including headers to their abuse dept. I can guarantee it will not be
iijlab.net or cidr.jp  

FWIW, most email lists are harvested by spammers for mail addresses.. just a
fact of life.

The entries go in /etc/rc.conf and take the form of other entries:

apache2_enable="YES"

The "(bool)" is a "YES" or "NO" value.  Take a look at
man rc.conf for more examples of this.  Whether or not you need
additional apache2 settings in /etc/rc.conf will depend on what
you need.  Chances are, if you don't know what they mean, then
you won't need them.

There has been an update to the pkg-message:

  http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200406062153.i56LrItr083680

Often, you may find discussions in the archives relating to an
issue you're having.  I use the google-freebsd:

  http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=mailing.freebsd

You can limit it to just the FreeBSD mailing lists by checking
the appropriate circle.  Try that and search for "apache2_enable"
and it'll turn up yesterday's discussion of this same topic.

Hope this helps some.

suggestions for optimal filesystem-layout over multiple harddrives?

2004-06-06 Thread Geert Hendrickx
Hi, 

using multiple harddisks can increase performance, since I/O can be done
in parallel.  But what would be an optimal filesystem-layout on, say,
two disks of equal size?  Swap should evidently be spread equally over
the different drives.  As for the filesystems, say I'd have a large /usr
and /home, each on one harddrive, and smaller /, /var and /tmp which
could reside on either disk.  / and /usr would be mostly read-only.  

Any suggestions?

Have you read the Handbook chapter called "The Cutting Edge"?  It 
describes the standard method of updating the system via source.  Not a 
difficult process, although it can be time-consuming.  It works; one of 
my servers started at 4.1, and is now running 4.10.

Problems arise when you switch branches (4.x to 5.x), and apparently 
there have been difficulties in the 5.x branch.  But 5.x is not a

Take a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING .  In particular, the entry:

20040531:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8

It may be of some help.  Its a good idea to get into the habit
of reading and following the instructions in UPDATING.  I do
the things in UPDATING before updating any other ports since it
may affect the upgrading of other ports.

If you have followed those instructions, then pardon my noise.

Best regards,

Randy

RE: Upgrading FreeBSD to a new release

2004-06-06 Thread JJB
The source upgrade is not the problem, it's when on those rare times
that system configuration file statements are added or changed that
requiring mergemaster to run. There is no way around that condition
when that happens. The 5.1 to 5.2 case is special just because 5.x
is development branch. You would not see this in stable branch
upgrades.

Now I think I read about an case where an person had two remote
headless systems and he set each one up with an serial console to
the other system. So he could have ssh session to box A which had
serial console connection to box B that he then could put box B into
single user mode to do mergemaster and return back to multi user
mode. Then he would use ssh session to box B who had serial console
connection to box A and do same thing to box A.

So there is an way around your remote problem as long as you have
two boxes at same remote location.

You know the real simple solution is to do your upgrade to local box
and remove hard disk and ship it to remote location and have short
downtime while hard drives are swapped. All ways have an single IDE
drive just for your operation system separate from your data drives.

This doesn't work on the upgrade to 5.2 from 5.1. You have to boot
into
single user mode to do the installworld. You have incompatible
features
at this upgrade.

Ugly. I am not too familiar with the internals of FreeBSD. But I really
think, that in the long run, FreeBSD must have a more clever software
managment for the system stuff. Something like 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
comes to mind, or 'emerge -Ud world'. It should be possible to track
what changes from one point release to the next one, and do most of the
upgrade stuff automatically (excluding most configuration) and without a
CD.
 Rebuilding the ports tree stuff after the upgrade is not the problem
(because this is already managed in a very good way).

All I want is not reinstalling the system after every few releases. The
FreeBSD team should care about an possibility to easily upgrade from at
least one point release to another. Only my suggestion.

Best regards, Roman

RE: upgraded perl ... now missing mods that was installed beforeupgrade

2004-06-06 Thread JJB
I don't think the problem has anything to do with how you upgrade
your system.
I installed 4.10 from minin.iso  and I have same problem about not
being able
to run perl -MCPAN -e shell command.

Something is wrong with the perl CPAN conf files that are part of
the FBSD system.
Problem may also be in the perl port as well.
Maybe time to send problem report and email the perl port
maintainer.

I don't think you can upgrade perl to a new level with portupgrade.
You
have to run "use.perl port" after you update perl to a new level.
You
will find all of the p5-* in the old perl links. In addition, some
of
the older automake[s] have the perl version you were running at the
time you installed them as the first line of the script. One these
has
been set, you can run your portupgrade.

The problem with 5.1 > 5.2 is called statfs. See, /usr/src/UPDATING. It 
will run with a new kernel and not the old kernel. If you do an 
installworld before you do an installkernel, you have to use the fixit 
CD to fix it. For a while, they thought you had to do a clean install. 

I have no idea what happens if you boot to a 5.2 kernel with a 5.1 
userland. 

The ports are entirely different because they don't deal with basic 
things such as fs'es. Somewhere in the 5.2 chain is the port problem 
with pthreads. You can count on rebuilding all of your ports that use 
pthreads. Portupgrade does a lot of what you talk about but I always 
use puf and it avoids moving the libraries in to the compat directory.

Exactly these kinds of hassles I don't want. I am wondering - FreeBSD
has built such a nice thing like the ports system. It's a work of
genius. Only that the install/upgrade process of the system itself is
completely different (and not very convenient IMO). Is it not possible
to 'port' the System stuff into the ports system (or a different ports
system, say, the 'system ports' or something like that). Just an idea.

Ok, are there other ways? Isn't there a script, which places the new
archives over the old ones, and removes the stuff, that's left from the
old system? Or is this a too-difficult task?

Apache pkg-messagees

2004-06-06 Thread Hutterer Robert
After upgrading to apache 1.3.29_4 you have to add a line to rc.conf
pkg_message in the ports tree says:

===>  BE CAREFULL HOW TO BOOT on 1.3.29_4 or after:
To run apache www server from startup, add apache_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf.

THIS IS A CLEAR MESSAGE

In a similar way changes were made for apache-2.0.49_2 
BUT WHAT DOES THIS PKG-MESSAGE MEAN???

"Since 2.0.49_2, apache startup script is now enabled/disabled via 
rc.subr.
Available variables:
- apache2_enable (bool):  Set to "NO" by default.
  Set it to "YES" to enable apache2
- apache2ssl_enable (bool):   Set to "NO" by default.
  Set it to "YES" to start apache with SSL 
  (if  exists in httpd.conf)
- apache2limits_enable (bool):Set to "NO" by default.
  Set it to yes to run `limits $limits_args`
  just before apache starts.
- apache2_flags (str):Set to "" by default.
  Extra flags passed to start command
- apache2limits_args (str):   Default to "-e -U %%WWWOWN%%"
  Arguments of pre-start limits run."

Should also some lines be addes to rc.conf ?? Which one???

The only obvious cause of EINVAL from lseek would be an invalid third
argument.  The program doesn't try and define SEEK_SET itself, does it?

Does `ad0s4' exist in your /dev directory?  If not, you probably want to

  cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV ad0s4

If you install programs manually you have mostly a option in the 
./configure script that enables you to select a prefix. Mostly that 
prefix will be /usr/local/, there all non default applications will be 
installed.  (./configure --prefix=/usr/local)

Also, perhaps it's better to use the ports on a FreeBSD system, you can 
upgrade them easy with "portupgrade" and they all get installed in the 
/usr/local directories.

perl -MCPAN problem

2004-06-06 Thread JJB
When I run  perl -MCPAN -e shell   from the command line I get
"no route to host" message.
This box has public internet access as everything else works,
so I know that error message is not correct.
I looked in my firewall log file and I see that at the time I was
doing -MCPAN, I have an inbound port 21 packets that I deny and log.
I do not allow remote ftp access to my system as I do not have
an ftp server.

Now question is, Is perl -MCPAN process in some way causing this to
occur, and if so how do I tell the perl -MCPAN process to use
outbound
ftp passive mode?

I all ready issued this command from the command line
setenv FTP_PASSIVE "1"

Please help me understand pciutils output

2004-06-06 Thread Luke
I suspect that my PCI bus is incompatible with some of the PCI cards I'm 
trying to use with it.  The motherboard was made in 1996 and these cards 
are all much newer.  One of the cards gives USB 2.0 support, but I'm not 
getting anywhere near USB 2.0 speed out of the USB 2.0 devices I plug into 
it.  I wonder if the problem is the speed of the PCI bus that the USB 
controller is plugged into.

I installed pciutils-2.1.11_1 and ran "lspci -vv" to get the following log.
Should I be disturbed by the "66Mhz-" status on everything except the RAID 
card, which is "66MHz+"?
Should I adjust the latency on anything?
Should I stop plugging new cards into old boards?

5.2-CURRENT. But BSD sees everything ok, it's Windows that's having a problem. 
I don't feel confident making any changes in Windows, however, because it 
seems as though my only option there would be to format the partition! Which, 
from a Windows point of view, would certainly be a solution of sorts...

Try other keys such as "voice", "conferencing" and the like.

If you don't have a ports tree or prefer a gui search:

I've no idea what works with windows.  Google is your friend there.

loading kernel module from floppy?

2004-06-06 Thread Alan Batie
I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on a raid set using a RocketRaid 1640.
In order to do so, I need to load the driver as a kernel module at boot
time, but nowhere is it documented (that I can find) how to specify the
device.  I can lsdev and see disk0a: ffs and disk0c: ffs, but if I try
to load disk0a:filename, it's not found.  neither is /disk0a/filename or
/dev/disk0a/filename.  Neither does the odd syntax the earlier stage uses
of 0:fd(0,a)/filename.  My next step is to head for the source I guess...

2004-06-06 Thread paul beard
I had posted a couple of questions about my system suddenly refusing to 
build shared libraries and making my ports tool-based builds fail. The 
symptoms were that the host type was being misread as kfreebsd/gnu 
suggesting I had some Debian/FreeBSD frankenhost, and shared libraries 
would fail to build on most ports.

With some research from Pav Lucistnik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, a rogue file 
-- /usr/include/features.h -- was discovered and removed. It's dated 
Nov 21, 2001, and is claimed by no package so I have no idea how it got 
there. But as far as I can tell, that was the culprit.

I will add this info to the PR as well.

RE: Changing SendMail Port Number

2004-06-06 Thread JJB

Port 25 is the world wide internet standard for smtp mail servers to
listen on for inbound mail. There is no problem of changing your
smtp email server to listen on port 24, except for the fact that no
body on the internet can reach your smtp email server because they
will be sending to port 25 which your ISP has blocked and you are
not listening on. So for all practical purposes it does nothing for
you.

Last year I read that zoneedit was developing an port 25 redirect as
an companion to their port 80 redirect.

Check out www.zoneedit.com   to see if it's available yet.  Besides
ISP blocking port 25, port 80 is also blocked for the same reasons.
Once you sign up for the free zoneedit service all your domain name
driven traffic passes through zoneedit. You can configure your
zoneedit account to redirect port 80 to say port 8080 and then
config your web server to listen on port 8080 and you bypass your
ISP's block. If zoneedit has it's port 25 redirect available it will
allow you to do same thing.

Check it out and the other free zoneedit like companies out there.
One of then may have port 25 redirect working. If you find any
please report back to this thread for the archives.

There are ISPs out there that block port 25 to any destination other

voice talk between 2 FBSD boxs

2004-06-06 Thread JJB
The talk command is not really voice talk but what is normally
considered as console text chat these days.

Is there an 2 way voice talk command or port application between 2
unix type systems with an ms/windows version?

Boot question

2004-06-06 Thread Roy Fokker

Hi, mi name is Alejandro.
When I boot up 5.1R, the system "stops" at the message:
"ata2: at 0xe320 on atapipci0"
"ata3: at 0xe320 on atapipci0"
"ata4: at 0xe320 on atapipci0"
Can anyone provide some insights as to what it is probing, and why it takes 
so much time compared to the rest of the bootup?  Except for that part, it 
boots real fast. Can that be configured somehow to make it faster?
Thanks in advance.

Saludos.
Alejandro.

Re: starting Konqueror from the command line

2004-06-06 Thread Lee Harr
What I need is the part that comes after "konqueror"... i.e. which file to
open. And that's assuming Konqueror knows to start in "html mode" since the
file it's opening is html. I thought there might even be a way to specify a
"profile file (??)" to set window size & other options.

konqueror --help
might help.
konqueror --profile NameOfProfile yourhtmlfile.html
is pretty nice too. Especially if you save the profile with the window size
and other options that you want.
--mimetype text/html
might be required if you are having trouble kicking it in to html mode.
Also... there is a freebsd-kde list available for your kde-specific 
questions.

Well, cause he was such a pain in the .. , I took the liberty to let nmap scan

I've started to receive more logentries from other IP-addresses in the same

It's now reported to the ISP. Then we will see :-)

Perhaps something changed the partition type code in the MBR partition
table on your FreeBSD disk.  Do "fdisk ad1" to display the MBR partition
table.  The FreeBSD slice should say:

sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)

If it says anything else, you can use the command "fdisk -u ad1" to
change the MBR partition type code back to 165 (decimal).

(Which release of FreeBSD do you run?  You used the "bsdlabel" command
to display the FreeBSD disk label on /dev/ad1s1.  That suggests you
are running FreeBSD 5.x.  In my experience, release 5.x won't recognize
FreeBSD disk labels in non FreeBSD slices and won't create special
files for the partitions in /dev.  This suggests that your MBR partition
type code is actually correct.  I dunno ... but it should be worth
checking anyway.)

Dangerous file system / disk problem

2004-06-06 Thread Ben Paley
Hello,

I wanted to have FreeBSD on my first drive and Win98 on the second, but of 
course windows doesn't like being on the second disk, and began "preparing" 
my first drive which already had FreeBSD on it! Well, I swapped the drives 
over, put W98 on the first one, they both boot fine and I didn't lose any 
data.

BUT - Windows now sees my BSD disk (which has never happened before) and keeps 
offering to format it for me. Partition Magic gives its filesystem type as 
'BAD' rather than 'FreeBSD/i386', as it used to. Weirdly, Boot Magic (bundled 
with Partition Magic) found both operating systems with no difficulty.

Since this isn't actually causing me a problem, I wouldn't normally care what 
Windows thinks of my BSD disk, but I'm worried one of my kids will press 
'Yes' to a format one day...

...any ideas?

Check the MailHop Relay  Product.

For a fee (about $30/year) they provide an service that will handle your MX

I'm trying to portupgrade my gtk-2.4.0 -> 2.4.1_1 but this fails.
Looking into the log I suspect either something wrong /w the gtk20 port,
OR mayby it's because I have TWO freetype ports installed.

Question: is it necessery to have freetype AND freetype2 installed?
What's the difference between them?

Does anybody know if the gtk20 port is broken somehow?

Thank you both - that is helpful, but not the answer I was seeking. Perhaps 
I'm asking the wrong question... I need to get Konqueror to display the file 
I am currently editing in Bluefish. With the Konqueror command line synatax I

research there.

BTW - are command line parameters for Konqueror documented anywhere?
