pkg_add question
Hello All, I tried to install the Xorg server and xfce4 from the binary distribution, using pkg_add -r I could setup the Xorg server, but I cannot use xfce. When I run startxfce4 then I get the following message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libobject-2.0.so.0 not found, required by xfce4-sesion. I read somewhere that I need to update glib. But I cannot do this with pkg_add. pkg_add -r glib tells me that glib (or an older version of it) is already installed. Now I'm trying to upgrade glib with portupgrade -r glib and probably it will work. But it will take a long time to recompile every package that I have in binary format. The big advantage of using pkg_add is that I do not need to recompile everything from the ports tree. I have a slow machine and limited disk space. But it looks like I have no choice. Upgrading glib from the ports will cause many packages to be downloaded and recompiled from source. I could not find any way to update my packages in binary form. If there is a way, please help me finding it.

Enabling atapi-cam and other kernel features
Recently, I read in the FreeBSD handbook, that in order to use the atapi-cam support, it has to be compiled into the kernel. Why not include the atapi-cam support in a module that can simply be loaded by the user without rebooting the machine? It seems like it would be much eisier and less of a hassle that way. It seems like recompiling the kernel (I have done it before) is an awful lot of work just to be able to use some features of the DVD drive which most new computers have these days. The user should be able to add new hardware support to the kernel and reconfigure as much of it as possible without recompiling it, or even rebooting it. This is especially true in troubleshooting where quick changes may be needed and where recompiling each time a setting is changed becomes quite awkward. Allowing more run time configuration would both make FreeBSD more configurable and expert friendly as well as easier to use for everyone. I think in order to make software easy to use, it needs to be highly configurable, and not require a recompile just to add hardware support. Thank you. __ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.

Hello!
This script produces a real sweet file and directory tree.
I am trying to simplify this -- it is too big for its own good.
I must remove all the bullshit but the -a switch.

Re: Using pkg_add to satisfy port dependencies...
Luke Bakken wrote: Is there a way to tell the ports system to try to fetch port dependencies using the 'pkg_add' command rather than try to build the dependency first from source? pkg_add -r _port_ ought to fetch needed runtime dependencies, too? Or maybe you are looking for the portupgrade -P option: -P --use-packages Use packages instead of ports whenever available. portupgrade searches the local directories listed in PKG_PATH for each package to install or upgrade the current installation with, and if none is found, pkg_fetch(1) is invoked to fetch one from a remote site. If it doesn't work either, the port is used. -PP --use-packages-onlyNever use the port even if a package is not avail- able either locally or remotely, although you still have to keep your ports tree up-to-date so that portupgrade can check out what the latest version of each port is. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

HI Ceri Thanks for the link... Im having issues with the install of emulators/ linux_base... doesnt like linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_4 Not sure if this lib does the same in terms of linux gcc etc? I did read that the 10g install goes a whole lot smoother than the 9i... havent had a chance to really dive into the install yet though... Hi Eoghan, Try linux_base-8 instead. I think that may be better for more recent FreeBSD's. I haven't tried the 10g install on FreeBSD, but I have done a few installations on Solaris and I can tell you that the major problem with the 10g installer is that it installs 10g, which I'm running into a few problems with. That may well be my fault due to some unfamiliarity with the new version, but since the 9i desupport date has been pushed back to 2010 I'm still using that where I can.

Sparc vs i386 architecture
Hi group, I was just wondering if there's an advantage to running FreeBSD on a SPARC than compared with a regular PC. Obviously the architecture is different (CISC vs RISC). How ever you can purchase a higher powered PC box for less money than it would cost for a SPARC. The main advantage I'm seeing here is for security. It's going to be harder to break into a SPARC running FreeBSD than an Intel/Amd running FreeBSD b/c most machine code exploits will be for the i386 type architecture. Any insights are much appreciated.

freebsd 6 - amount of total visible memory is decreasing constantly
Problem: Total amount of visible memory is decreasing constantly (total amount = sum of all memory fields in 'top' utility output' OS: FreeBSD 6 Server: 2xAmd64bit, 4GB memory, tyan motherboard hw.physmem: 3478589440 hw.realmem: 3488743424 These values don't change in time. Just after server reboot, the sum of memory fields in 'top' utility output is 3405M(this is correct). But this sum(i.e. total visible memory for OS) is decreasing in time, according to top's output. After all, server begins to swap and needs to be rebooted again. Here goes monitoring log.

This is particularly the case for FreeBSD-CURRENT, where you should also specify the date of the sources, though of course you shouldn't be sending questions about -CURRENT to FreeBSD-questions. * With any problem which could be hardware related, tell us about your hardware. In case of doubt, assume it's possible that it's hardware. What kind of CPU are you using? How fast? What motherboard? How much memory? What peripherals? * If you get error messages, don't say I get error messages, say (for example) I get the error message 'No route to host'. You have driven this problem to extremes by not specifying any problem at all. 7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does know the answer was offline.

RE: Sparc vs i386 architecture
What machine code exploits currently exist for FreeBSD on the i386 other than the F00F bug, which has already been patched out? I wasn't aware of any. Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Bernstein Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 1:53 PM To: Robert Slade; jasonharback Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Sparc vs i386 architecture Hi group, I was just wondering if there's an advantage to running FreeBSD on a SPARC than compared with a regular PC. Obviously the architecture is different (CISC vs RISC). How ever you can purchase a higher powered PC box for less money than it would cost for a SPARC. The main advantage I'm seeing here is for security. It's going to be harder to break into a SPARC running FreeBSD than an Intel/Amd running FreeBSD b/c most machine code exploits will be for the i386 type architecture.

RE: Spamcop listed - need help to diagnose why
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robert Slade Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 11:24 PM To: David Banning Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Spamcop listed - need help to diagnose why There is your problem TMDA is most likely the cause. Such programmes are in effect adding to the spam problem. Nearly all spam has a forged from address and all programmes such as TMDA do is send a challenge to an innocent 3rd party. Whist it looks like it reduces your spam all you do is in effect spam someone else. When your e-mail address has been used in a spam run by a spammer and you start getting 10s of these challenge an hour it is quite easy to report 1 my accident. If you look at the Spamcop reporting page you will see a warning about just this situation. I suppose that the real answer is to stop compounding the spam problem and use a combination of spamassassin and block lists. BTW I make it a point never to respond to challenges. Ditto, and for the same reasons. I've removed David from the cc list on this for that reason as well. Also we need to be aware of another trick that spammers have figured out, that applies to anyone running multiple MX records on a domain (I don't know if David is in that situation) Normally if a domain has a single mailserver processing incoming mail, there's a single MX record pointing to a single machine. But in many cases it's desirable to relay mail through a prefilter system before it gets to the actual mailserver. In those cases a common trick is to block the highest priority MX host off with an access list. Senders try the highest priority, it fails, they then go to the next highest priority host which is the relay host. That host gets it, does it's thing, then tries to send it to the highest priority server which should work since the access list permits that server. This technique has been mentioned in the sendmail book among others. The problem is what spammers are doing now is they find one of these hosts, and pump millions of messages to the secondary, with the VICTIM address as the senders address, and a bogus address as the recipient address. The secondary gets the mail, and tries relaying it to the primary, the primary rejects the mail as user-not-found and the secondary tries to return the message to the sender - which is the victim address. So the spam targets get messages from mailer-daemon that originate from a legitimate host, but are spam. It's a warzone out there, folks.

Rob Good point, and I apologize for the transgression. (With my PC off, I took out the NIC, tapped it, blew dust off it, rebooted and DSL worked fine! Go figure.) I've had instances where if a machine is a dual boot that one has to clear the previous systems (residual) settings by powering off, then back on. Soft (re)booting from one OS to the other would not clear the nic of prior settings.

Server vendor specific mailing lists ...
Not sure who best to send this to, but figured I'd send it publicly to see
also if others think this idea might have merit ...
Basically, I'm just about to take possession of my first HP server ... my
biggest 'fear' is that HP doesn't support FreeBSD, but from posts I've
seen here, that shouldn't be a problem ... what I'd love to see is a
'vendor specific' mailing list where ppl can more easily tap others brains
for their experiences ... a FreeBSD user support group for {IBM,HP,Dell}
servers, that a FreeBSD user can turn to knowing that others on that list
are using their vendor of choice for their servers ...
Its hard to post to -questions, with the amount of volume that is in
there, and keep track of things ... I'd like to be able to post about
experiences with IFO, for instance, and how others running FreeBSD are
avoiding (if they are?) using Windows for server monitoring, stuff like
that ...
Its not a -stable vs -current sort of thing ... nor an -amd vs -i386
one ... its experiences with a specific server vendor ...
Might be a good way of getting together groups of FreeBSDers looking to
'pressure' their various vendors-of-choice into supporting FreeBSD better
also ...

System segfaulting / panicking a lot after kernel upgrade
Hello again, I've reinstalled FreeBSD 6.0 on my celeron box recently, and after a kernel upgrade my system seems to be segfaulting a lot during compilations and has panicked quite a few times. First thing that pops into my mind is bad RAM, but I also changed the CPU arch to pentium3 (which I thought was valid for my Tualatin 1.2 GHz Celeron), and upped the optimization level to -O2. Could that possibly have anything to do with the issues I am seeing? I also added quite a few modules to WITHOUT_MODULES, which I didn't think would cause a problem, but I'm not a pro at maneuvering around the FreeBSD kernel yet...

However, in my case I'm using the sparc (its a U10) because it there. I originally got it as I needed to find out about Solaris/Sparc. It was lying in the back of a cupboard so when I started to investigate replacements for a domain based on W2k using FBSD I dusted it off and I'm using it for the BDC. The only thing I really noticed is the disk(s) are slow compared (SUN's IDE) to the PDC which has a fast scsi setup. Given the choice I think I would still go for a good sparc from Ebay over a i386.
