That's funny ... you know, come to think of it I might have done this a 
long time ago, as I tend to configure the BIOS to just enable what I 
need or might use. Also, dmesg doesn't seem to indicate firewire is 
there, but there are a few unknowns that might be firewire. I primarily 
bought this board because of the AGP slot, Althon support and general 
reviews by overclockers and gamers, though I've read of some trouble 
with RAID and firewire on some OSes but haven't tried it myself. I 
figured if I really want to go with RAID I'll invest in a separate 
controller with a good reputation. Anyhoot, for general use these 
boards seem to work fine, and it sounds like it's not a big deal for 
you to not have firewire support, so there ya go. Have fun! :)

What sort of effect might this have elsewhere? I'm sure this fix works, 
but is there something else that could get borked by changing the

X Windows has nothing to do w/ apache, mysql, or php.

How did you install last three pieces of software anyway?

You need to recompile all the software that was dependent on
libexpat.so.4 so that it would be dependent on libexpat.so.5.

In the mean time, see if a link from libexpat.so.5 to libexpat.so.4
would satisfy the failing applications.  That did work for me until
i had the time to recompile the depending software.

For the next time, remember to upgrade depending software when
you upgrade dependency software.

I personally stay away from using portupgrade to actually do
upgrade; wait for others to resolve your issues w/ portupgrade.


> and make world but it still failed.

Wow, that is really unnecessarily excessive!

You can upgrade ports software from the ports w/o the need of
upgrading the base system.  (In most cases anyway.  Sometimes one
would need to upgrade base system *eventually* to be able to
build/install software from ports.  But that's another thread.)

Re: Burning OS X .dmg disk images...

Does anyone know of how to burn Mac OS X .dmg images under FBSD?
I have .dmg files from an OSX system (10.3.x) that I want to convert

anything in the list archives about this.
On MacOS X use the command line utility "hdiutil" (see man page) to 
convert to .iso, shoot that file over to FreeBSD and then use either 
burncd or cdrecord.

Open a Terminal window on MacOS to get a shell then do something like 
this:

% hdiutil makehybrid -o my.iso my.dmg -hfs -joliet -iso
For some reason the above with -hfs generates a .iso file which mounts 
when double-clicked but an icon does not appear on the desktop. It may 
have something to do with the particular .dmg file I used. However 
double-clicking the .dmg file appears on the desktop as expected. 
Remove -hfs from the hdiutil command and the default appearance is 
different than .dmg but otherwise produced a desktop icon for the 
mounted volume as expected.

Normally MacOS X mounts .iso files as a volume when one double-clicks, 
and the icon appears on the desktop. But not with the .dmg file 
converted to .iso with -hfs that I was playing with just now. It 
mounted but without the desktop icon. Was listed in /Volumes/ and with 
df(1). Had to use "hdiutil detach /dev/disk6s2" to get rid of it. Or 
logout/login did the trick as well.

Yes.  At this point, you must update everything that depends on pango
(and probably glib20 as well).  Your best bet is to go to
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome and read the upgrade instructions.

If you're running a 5.3-BETA, you can get the latest OOo packages from
your local FreeBSD FTP mirror after you complete the 2.6 upgrade.

If you want to do what you say you want to do, yes, well,,, mostly...

fdisk writes the main label that makes the slices on the disk.
It also writes the MBR if you tell it to.
You can tell it to make one large slice for the whole disk or
up to 4 slices named 1..4.

So, on a second SCSI disk (eg disk 1) slice 1 would look like /dev/da1s1... 

Then disklabel writes the partition label within any one those slices.
which divides the slice (not the whole disk) up in to as many as 8 partitions
named a..h with a, b, c, d sort of special cased by convention and expectation
of some software.   'a' is root if you are booting on thee drive, 'b' is
usually used for swap,  'c' is normally reserved for special accessing
the entire disk in some special places and 'd' is something historical.
'a', 'b' and probably 'd' can be used for other things if not being 
used for their conventional thing, but I usually skip over them if I
don't need them.
disklabel also writes the boot block for the given slice, if you tell it to.

So, on our second SCSI disk with slice 1 divided in to partitions 
then partition 'a' (typically root) would look like  /dev/da1s1a.

Filesystems are built in those partitions.

You can create what is often, in the docs, referred to as a dangerously
dedicated disk and do a disklabel on a whole disk without the slices.
But, I think you still need fdisk or another main label writing utility
(can't remember the name at the moment) to write that MBR you want.   
Actually, you can even get along without that if you never want to access 
the disk in any other way.  I have never used it that way.  It is usually 
suggested not to do it that way and it only uses up a few bytes of disk 
space, so do the fdisk.

Just try it out and then ask more questions if needed.  It actually
does work just like the documentatino says.

Ports and Gaim

[Craig Perry]

Hi all,

I upgraded the ports tree and installed a few things, everything went ok untill I 
installed gaim. As soon as it went in, the menus in gnome went funny, ie the 
applications menu went to about 2 pixels wide, so I logged out to log back in again 
hoping that would fix it, unfortunately gdm no has no menus and I can't type anything 
into the username field etc. So I'm now locked out of gnome/gdm and can't log back in.

The only dependancy that wasn't up to scratch for gaim was pango, so I updated that, 
now I assume it is this that has buggered gnome.

What is the easiest resolution, upgrade gnome to 2.6? I don't fancy a reinstall of the 
os, I just compiled open office 1.1.2 from scratch and can't be bothered waiting for 
that again :o)

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Perhaps you need to set the machine's hostname?

hostname="some.fqdn.here" in /etc/rc.conf, or just using the hostname

OK, something else you probably want to do is add this line:

Well, I'm not entirely sure, either, but in any event I don't think

in the list archives about this.

Thanks,
Alex

They are connected using a 80 pin cable.
The long end (blue terminator) is connected to the first ide spot on the 
motherboard.
ad0: 38166MB  is the master and jumpered as the master.  
It is connected to the primary end of the cable.
ad1: 9541MB  is the slave and is jumpered as the slave.  It is

Try booting to single user mode and run fsck -f on all your
filesystems.  if it find errors, keep running fsck -f until it stops
reporting them.  Sometimes fsck can fail to repair all of the
corruption and you'll get runtime panics.

For a list of supported hardware, you can simply go to 
freebsd.org to find out all you need to know.

FreeBSD 4.10 - (Production Release) 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/hardware.html

FreeBSD 5.2.1 - (New Technology Release)
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware.html

If you are wanting to install another version, then you 
should check out the specs in the applicable directories on 
the ftp site(s).  For more info, check out www.freebsd.org.

Happy Hunting.

which wlan card?

Hi!

I?m searching for a cheap wlan pci card (below 40 euros),
supported by both freebsd and linux.

What is the best choice, which cards does freebsd support out of
the box (without nasty workarounds)?
Is there a hardware database for freebsd or something similar?

Thanks in advance

Omni Drivers for a Canon Printer

[Ned Harrison]

I dual boot FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Redhat Linux 9.   I am trying to set up 
my printer which is a Canon S520 to print on the FreeBSD side.  
Running apsfilter SETUP I can get the printer to respond but the quality 
of the test prints have been poor.  On my Linux side, however, the 
printer runs fine using one of the Cannon BJP printers and a Omni print 
driver.  

When I ran apsfilter SETUP in FreeBSD I found the same printer but I 
don't have the Omni drivers installed.  I've searched through my 
installation disks and looked through the ports but did not find any 
reference to Omni drivers. 

Where would I find these drivers?  Are they in the Ports under a 
different name?  Or should I just break down and buy a new printer?  If 
there is another way to get this printer up an running, I'm willing to 
give it a try.

Thanks

Re: Mouse problems

[Simon Barner]

Thomas,

[ PS/2 mouse woes ]

which mouse device are you using?

Section "InputDevice" in /etc/X11/XF86Config should look like this (at
least it works for me...)

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver  "mouse"
Option "Protocol""SysMouse"
Option "Device"  "/dev/sysmouse"

For your reference: My /etc/rc.conf entry looks like this:

moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags=""
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"

If that doesn't help, please provide more information, i.e. post the
mentioned config files, along with the output of `dmesg'.

Re: booting beta3 on A7N8X

[Lee Harr]

I have an A7N8X-E Deluxe, and have used it with 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 and now
5.3 beta3. The issues I've read about with Asus mobos have been with
the VIA chipset, which isn't on these boards, and also with ACPI - I
have it disabled in BIOS and in the kernel.
Yea, that is the  exact same board I have. I thought the main problem
was with the nforce2 chipset...
I tried the "Boot with ACPI disabled" choice from the bootloader, but
that one hung during the boot also... I did not try disabling ACPI in
the BIOS, but I will give that a try.
Recently I found out that I can make the system boot
4.10-stable by disabling firewire in the kernel. Otherwise
it freezes up while booting.
I didn't need to do that, but I don't have any firewire devices, so when
I create a custom kernel I end up commenting that out, but it boots
even in GENERIC for me. Do you remember if there was a specific error
message? What's on the screen when it freezes, like what line of text
is last?
There is a thread on -stable where I posted the boot messages.
Here is one ...
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2004-May/007428.html

> Can I create a 5.3 cd myself from my 4.10 system?
>   (one without firewire, for instance...)
Er ... no, but you can download ISOs for 5.3 from the fbsd site.
Wait ... what do you mean? You can pull the sources and create your own
CDs, but you can't use the 4.10 source to make a 5.3 system.
Well... my thought was to set up a 2nd src directory and cvsup
to RELENG_5_3 so I could build a 5.3 system and then create
my own iso using a customized kernel without firewire. I just am
not sure I can do all of that while running on a 4.10 system...
Thanks for your time.

Mouse problems

[Tomas Snäckerström]

Hi

My name is Tomas. I've recently installed FreeBSD and this is the first time 
ever that I install a UNIX system. I use Solaris at work but as said this is 
the first time for me as root.

Everything worked fine and I now have my file/printserver up and running. 
However a while ago I decided to add a graphical environment for convenience 
and that is when I ran into trouble.

My problem is that when I start X (Gnome or KDE) my PS/2 mouse goes bananas. 
Basically it moves in the inverse direction on both axises (up and right) and 
does not respont on movements down or left. (The pointer then ends down in the 
bottom left corner.) Buttons seem to work.

Here is what I know. I run BSD version 5.2.1, XFree86 and latest releases of 
Gnome/KDE. In the mousedeamon test program in found in the sysinstall program, 
the mouse works properly. If I start X and then exit it, the mouse is still 
activated and it works properly!

This is the reason I thought it might be related to Gnome but I get the same 
behaviour after installing KDE. I then add a plug and pray compatible USB 
mouse from logitech and it acts identically. (Yes I've tried different PS/2:s 
aswell, 2,3 buttons with or without scroll.)

According to documentation "auto" detection should work for all PS/2 mouses. 
XFree homepage states that the BSD mouse deamon should work fine. The XFree 
config says nothing that to me indicates problems. 

As I understand You've terminated cooperation with XFree but I doubt that a 
change to Xorg will solve this particular problem.

I have tried to find this problem on the web but failed, and now i really dont 
know where to go but to call you. 

Please tell me that I am just a stupid user who forgot to do something really 
trivial. I really like BSD so far and am very impressed with it. I'm working 
on contributing and am already trying to convince all my friends.

Thanx in advance
Tomas

Re: Proxy/Firewall Question

[Subhro]

That is expected. After all that is all about proxy. When NAT is
enabled then you can ping outside world, that is fine. If you want to
provide transparent access to the clients, then you need to enable
NAT. You can control the type of access provided (browsing, IRC, IMs,
etc) by blocking(opening) the required ports from the firewall.
Alternatively, as you say...PROXY, you wont be able to ping outside
and the clients have to explicitly configure their softwares to use
the proxy running on the BSD Box.

S.

Re: Install errors on old HP machine

[BSDjunkie]

Jouke,

Does the old pc already have an operating system on
it?

If not,  you could try installing DOS on it and then
copying rawrite.exe (I think it's called under
'dostools' folder from cd) to the hard drive and
creating the boot discs on the machine that will be
using them.

Sometimes floppy drives can be aligned very
differently and creating them on the machine you'll be
using them on makes a bit of a differance.

Wow! 66mhzmakes me yearn for my old 486 DX2 66
with 32M of ramthat my friend is a test in
patience.

But if you want to use it as a firewall and put say
two isa nics in it...then go for it. Mine lasted a
couple of years before the hard drives in it started
going out.

Let me know how it goes. Feel free to write.

Mark

Re: Interface Bonding & Bridging problem

[Subhro]

I am not 100% sure of what I speak about. Bridge works in layer 2 i.e.
the data link layer. The virtual interface does not have a data link
layer so it is not possible to get the bridging done as the way you
are saying

Hi,

something is borked with your autotools and/or libtool. I'd suggest to
delete all of the following ports.

autoconf*
automake*
libtool*

This may be more than necessary, but the chance is greater to catch the
culprit ... ;->

Afterwards, just build your postgresql port (or anything else), the
deleted ports will be reinstalled as required.

Another point worth giving a shot is deleting old work directories (you
might want to try this before nuking your auto* ports)

Either use portsclean -C (comes with portupgrade) or your preferred
shell poison like 

cd /usr/ports && find . -name "work" -type d | xargs rm -rf

HTH,
 Simon

Yes, I find 'amp' is OK for .mp3. (at least when no kde application has 
locked up the sound devices) And 'waveplay' manages .wav files.

But the object is to find something that will play .au files successfully.
Or even something that will convert .au to .wav or .mp3.

The port maintainer suggests setting ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'dbm_hash'
in your /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
Then you can create an INDEX.db that you can use.

Thanks for the suggestion, it allowed me to create an INDEX.db.   However, I 
still have a problem compiling most, if not all ports.  For example, below 
are sample outputs for "devel/libltdl15" and "databases/postgresql7."

===>  Configuring for libltdl-1.5.8
cp: /usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8/libltdl
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8/libltdl/config.guess: No such 
file or directory

===>  Configuring for postgresql-7.4.5
cp: /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.4.5/config
/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.4.5/config/config.guess: 
No such file or directory

Any port I try to install gives me a similar error regarding config.guess.  
In searching, I haven't found anybody else who has experienced the same 
problem.  Any ideas?

It's not.If you want PF go to FreeBSD 5.2+. It's a decision of the FreeBSD 
developers not to introduce pf in the 4.x releases due to library and 
backport conflicts. If you want pf in 4.10, you're free to port it yourself 
there. Or use trickle+ipf or ipfw+natd/ipnat

Wait ... what do you mean? You can pull the sources and create your own

I have an A7N8X-E Deluxe, and have used it with 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 and now 
5.3 beta3. The issues I've read about with Asus mobos have been with 
the VIA chipset, which isn't on these boards, and also with ACPI - I 
have it disabled in BIOS and in the kernel. However, IIRC the onboard 
NIC is only supported in 5.x, which is why I ended up installing it 
instead of 4.10.

I didn't need to do that, but I don't have any firewire devices, so when 
I create a custom kernel I end up commenting that out, but it boots 
even in GENERIC for me. Do you remember if there was a specific error 
message? What's on the screen when it freezes, like what line of text 
is last?

You should try disabling ACPI in the BIOS.

Well, not sure about serial console setup ...

I think ACPI might be your problem, but not sure about serial consoles.

Thanks people for the answers. Now about the rant; I only ran 5.x because
4.10 didn't undestand UFS2, and I was stuck to start again with 5.x.
Doing that with the only burned cd I had home, 5.1, I guessed I had to
do some cvsupping before getting things to work properly, and used the
standard-supfile for it to get anything to work at all. So there's my
reason. I remembered there shouldn't be any questions on latest devel version
on here, so I am sorry about that.
