FreeBSD-multi-boot
Hello all, I have these slices on my HDD: - /dev/ad0s1 - Windows XP - /dev/ad0s2 - FreeBSD/i386 - /dev/ad0s3 - FreeBSD/amd64 and I want them all in my boot.ini. Till now I succeeded with FreeBSD/i386 (first did dd if=/dev/ad0s2 of=boot.bsd bs=512 count=1 from FreeBSD/i386, then copied the resulted boot.bsd file to Windows C:\) I did the same trick with FreeBSD/amd64 (first did dd if=/dev/ad0s3 of=boot64.bsd bs=512 count=1 from FreeBSD/amd64, then copied the resulted boot64.bsd file to Windows C:\) so, my boot.ini looks like this: ---cut here-- [boot loader] timeout=3 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=Microsoft Windows XP Professional /noexecute=optin /fastdetect C:\boot.bsd=UNIX FreeBSD/i386 C:\boot64.bsd=UNIX FreeBSD/amd64 ---cut here-- Now, the problem is that when I choose UNIX FreeBSD/amd64 from the boot menu, it boots UNIX FreeBSD/i386!!!

Re: Problems installing/running acroread 7: libBIB.so
Ok, thanks! That solved the library problems (there were several
more, as I'm sure you can imagine). Now I'm trying to run the program
and I get:
$ /usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/bin/acroread
The OS named FreeBSD version 6.1-PRERELEASE is currently not
installed.
Try running on an installed platform and connecting to your display.
Installed platform(s) include the following:
Intel/Linux
and when I try
$ /usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
I get
/usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread must be
executed from the startup script.
The archives tell me that I need to just run the usual script, per
usr/ports/UPDATING:
Check /usr/ports/UPDATING
It says:
The command filename is ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread as before...
But when Ido that I get acroread5. So I've tried to deinstall that
but I'm having problems:
$ sudo pkg_deinstall acroread5
Password:
** No matching package found.
$ cd /usr/ports/print/acroread5
$ sudo make deinstall
make: don't know how to make deinstall. Stop
So, I suspect that I need to deinstall acroread5, and then probably
figure out how to point to acroread7. Any suggestions for the first
step will be warmly apprecaited.
Thanks very much for the assistance already!
Best wishes
Andrew

so I'm a little confused as to what the error is telling me and what

gamin - fam
Does anybody have a solution for the gamin / fam problem. Afaics only the courier package needs FAM still. So, I have two questions: (a) does courier run well without fam support? (b) does courier run with gamin support? As it gets more and more packages that depend on gamin and not on fam it seems obvious that I change the fam support to gamin.

But I don't want to harm my courier mailer system (I use the MTA, IMAP and POP3 units) I could be wrong, but the I'm pretty sure that the last time I checked, courier-imapd (which is the only one of the three that I use) only needed fam if you wanted to use its enhanced idle mode that will notify clients when mail arrives (by watching users' maildirs with fam) in pretty close to real-time. I use it, and it's a nice (if essentially cosmetic) feature. I don't think the POP protocol has any facility similar to IMAP's enhanced idle, so I don't see how fam would be used there. I use Postfix for my MTA, so I am not familiar with courier's MTA, but I suspect that it wouldn't use fam either. (Why would it need to?) If you're willing to simply check for new (IMAP) mail every X minutes, then you don't need fam.

It is Reuters policy to be complaint with all relevant regulations in the countries they operate, and as Reuters will potentially be doing all of the activities mentioned above it is essential that they obtain the relevant authorisation from the DCSSI prior to importing to, supplying in, using in, or exporting FreeBSD from France.

During sysinstall it had asked me if I wanted the ports collection installed which had 13,000 apps, would take 400MB of space yada yada yada...I assumed by saying yes and since I was installing off the boot only CD I would get the LATEST ports from the main site. Why didn't I? In chapter 4.5 of the handbook portsnap is given as an alternative to sysinstall. So what is the difference between ports installed via sysinstall vs. that from portsnap? Shouldn't be one... =/ 2. Unrelated: I did a pkg_version and see that there are a whole bunch of packages (may be 80-90%) which need updating. I am just trying FreeBSD for now on my laptop which is an old Gateway with Pentium II 400 MHz. It took nearly 2-3 days !!! (it would pause with some dialog which needed human input so I am not sure how long it might have taken with me sitting in front of it all the time) to install gnome2 from the ports. I don't know how long it might take to do a complete system upgrade. So the question I have is on current technology (say Athlon64 or Coreduo with 1GB of RAM) how long does it take to install a complete system + upgrade it to the ports tree for a X-developer workstation? Sorry about the loaded question. Whoah, that should NOT have taken that long. On my el cheapo DSL connection, it takes at most 3 hours to do a port upgrade on my 200mHz Pentium.

This means that you will have to take some precautions in order to update your KDE installation without interruptions. We recommend sticking to the following procedure. This procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed and to be the superuser (or using sudo) . 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE ports. pkg_deinstall -f kdebase-\[0-9\]\* superkaramba-\[0-9\]\* \ kde-windeco-smoothblend-\[0-9]\* kvirc-\[0-9\]\* \ kdeaddons-vimpart-\[0-9\]\* 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports. portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\* or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports: portupgrade -a 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1. portinstall -O kdebase Superkaramba is now included in misc/kdeutils3. The smoothblend window decoration is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3. Vimpart is being discontinued and no longer part of KDE. KNOWN ISSUES: = Just like KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5 does not play nice with openssl-0.9.8. In particular it breaks kwallet, some of the SSL handling in konqueror and SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact. If you're using the openssl ports rather than the base-system openssl, make sure to use security/openssl-stable. You can put WITH_OPENSSL_STABLE=yes into /etc/make.conf to automatically make ports depend on that rather than on security/openssl. FreeBSD 4.x users MUST install openssl-stable even if the base openssl is present for SSL/TLS support in kmail/kontact to work. Unfortunately, the kdepim3 port cannot depend on it automatically due to shortcomings/bugs in ports-collection's openssl infrastructure. Cheers, -- Ian

Hi.
The man page for bus_dma_map_create() says this about
the nsegments parameter:
Number of discontinuities (scatter/gather seg-
ments) allowed in a DMA mapped region. If there
is no restriction, BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED may be
specified.
BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED is #defined as (~0).
Then, in busdma_map_create() and busdma_mem_alloc():
if (dmat-segments == NULL) {
dmat-segments = (bus_dma_segment_t *)malloc(
sizeof(bus_dma_segment_t) * dmat-nsegments,
M_DEVBUF,
M_NOWAIT);
...
}
I don't understand how this works when
BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED is specified. The malloc will
be fed a -8 (or -12 with PAE) on i386.
I'm reviewing a driver at work that specifies
nsegments = 0, which I think is invalid, but in
reading the man page I came across this ~0 option,
which I've also seen in other FreeBSD drivers and I
just don't get it.
I hope someone can clue me in.
Thanks,
Paul.

Re: Remote 'viewing / control' of X Windows
in message [EMAIL PROTECTED], wrote Marc G. Fournier thusly... I'm dealing with a situation where I'm migrating ppl over to using X vs M$ Windows ... I'd like to be able to help them out remotely, similar to how I can with VNC for Windows ... Is there something similar for Unix that would allow me to 'piggyback' in such a way that they're X desktop is an xterm on my machine, so that I can move their mouse around, show them the steps to do something, etc? I don't think one could use plain VNC (realvnc, tightvnc such) to move mouse on already running X session. Please let me know if that is possible. There, however, is x11vnc port (net/x11vnc) which can connects to already running X instance which should fulfill Marc's requirement. See also x2vnc (x11-servers/x2vnc) port. - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
