pkg_add goofiness in 7.0
The first time I tried to add linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz to a new-from-CD 7.0 installation, it complained about a missing dependency that was on the other CD. OK, I switched CDs and installed that, then switched back and retried linuxdoc-1.1_1.tbz, and it gave me some sort of error about an unbalanced add operation. (I didn't try to copy down all the details, figuring instead to retry with a script(1) active so as to capture them.) Upon that retry, it now tells me that the package is already installed, even though the prior attempt failed.

Re: Help Using NDIS Broadcom 4321ag 802.11a/b/g/draft-n
I also use a HP laptop, This is the pciconf -lv output of my machine, vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4310 broadcom wireless 1490 (dell)' class = network The strange thing is it said 1490 dell, so after the fail attempt on the HP driver, I turn to Dell 1490 driver, this time it works.

error when patching cyrus-imapd-2.3.11 port

I emailed the author of the patches, and he replied: This is a bit of a known issue. The FreeBSD ports system changes the Makefiles for their own build system, and the autocreate patch has to change the makefiles since the sieve libraries are needed also in other places (because of the autocreate functionality). If you follow the normal patch procedure and you add the autocreate patch in the patches that are in the ports build system, then the autocreate patch will not be applied successfully since there will be conflicts in the makefiles again. (The rules apply also to autosieve if i remember correctly). Unfortunately i don't have a freeBSD system at hand to see the changed that are needed (which are not backward compatible with the vanilla cyrus distribution), and it is quite hard for us to produce different patches for different operating systems. (that's why we have all the uoa patches against the vanilla cyrus distribution). I'm reluctant to build from the cyrus-imapd sources as I don't know enough about possible differences in file locations (and maybe code?) between the two distributions. Ports would be much better for me, provided I can correct the missing library reference.

Hal, policykit, dbus slowed down system after portupgrade
Hello, Currently running FBSD 7-stable, I had this on my rc.conf to enable dbus and hal: dbus_enable=YES polkitd_enable=YES hald_enable=YES and after updating my ports using portupgrade my x started acting up, another words it just started running very slow, for example if I typed a commnad on a terminal window it takes about 20 seconds for me to see what I typed, moving windows from one side to the other makes them freeze for a while and if they move they maximize and minimize again, strange things. So I suspected that it had to do with these daemons so I disabled them and the system works ok. I wanted enabled though, what can I do to find the real culprid and try to fix it? One thing I can't see anymore is the polkit starting anymore nor when I run the top command, I see hal and dbus but not polkit.

Then in /etc/ttys you tell the system to use that particular terminal type on either the console or a particular vty. init will detect when the login session ends and respawn it, exactly as it does the usual login process.

Technically, FreeBSD is a BSD Unix and Linux distributions are not -- so FreeBSD is not a distribution of Linux. They have different OS kernels, different typical core utilities, and different typical development processes. In fact, the term Linux in Linux distribution refers to the Linux kernel -- and since FreeBSD doesn't use the Linux kernel (it uses the FreeBSD kernel), it's wholly inaccurate to call it a distribution of Linux. When you ask about hosting image files, I assume you mean disk imates, i.e. the ISO files for creating installation CDs. That being the case, FreeBSD itself is largely distributed under the terms of the BSD license, with a couple of additional bits using other open source licenses (like gcc, which is distributed under the terms of the GPL). That means you can legally distribute it all you like. Additional software such as that found in the ports collection, on the other hand, is sometimes distributed under other licenses -- and you might want double-check exactly what you'll be distributing. As far as I'm aware, the basic install CD should be free of such encumbrances, however. On the other hand . . . you're probably better off just pointing a link at the download pages on freebsd.org instead. This ensures that people will have the most timely, up-to-date access to disk images possible. If you're really interested in providing download bandwidth, however, you may want to look into providing an official up-to-date mirror of FreeBSD downloads and the ports collection. I haven't looked into that myself, so whatever's involved in doing so is something you should investigate.

It's in the FreeBSD ports system, but it's lagging about three years behind what's current, so I've been tracking the current code from the project's subversion system. It was working on FreeBSD 6.2. When I attempted to rebuild Code::Blocks, the build failed with an error relating to libpthread.so.2. I didn't get rid of old libraries when I upgraded to 7, so I still had this old libpthread.so.2 that hadn't been rebuilt. I know. Bad. I searched the web a bit and discovered that libpthread had fallen out of favor in 7 and was being replaced by something else. Ok, fine, so I got rid of my old broken libpthread.so.2. I tried to rebuild Code::Blocks again, and found that it was still attempting to link to libpthread. I threw away all the code and configurations, fetched the latest code, ran bootstrap, configure, and make and it's STILL running g++ with the -pthread switch and complaining about a missing libpthread.so.2. It finally dies with an undefined reference to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' So... Should I expect the new standard threading library (libthr I think?) to be a drop-in replacement for libpthread? If so, do you have any ideas where I need to look to convince this code to use it? For my personal projects, is the -pthread switch any good anymore, or is there a different switch I should be using now? Is libpthread even an option at all anymore? If so, how do I build it? I'm just not sure what direction I should start troubleshooting in now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Non-Blocking write over NFS fails
Hi all. It's been some time since posted here but I hope someone can see if
I'm doing something stupid or if I really have found a problem.
On my FreeBSD 7 client (192.168.0.50) I mounted an NFS-share from a FreeBSD 7
server (192.168.0.5). When I try to write a large file from the client to the
share in non-blocking mode, the write() call always returns EAGAIN. I whipped
up a small little test program to illustrate the behavior:
#include fcntl.h
#include stdlib.h
#include stdio.h
#include string.h
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/uio.h
#include unistd.h
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
int bufSz = 1172767;
fprintf(stderr, Creating file: %s\n, argv[1]);
int fd = open(argv[1], O_CREAT|O_RDWR);
if(fd 0) perror(0);
int ret = fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
if(ret 0) {
perror(0);
}
char* buf = (char*)malloc(bufSz);
memset(buf, 0, bufSz);
ret = -1;
while(ret 0) {
ret = write(fd, buf, bufSz);
fprintf(stderr, write: %d\n, ret);
if(ret 0) perror(0);
sleep(1);
}
free(buf);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
If the size is one byte less (1172766) the write succeeds so I guess I'm
hitting some buffer limit. The mount in an NFSv3 mount and the error occurs
both over UDP and TCP. When I do a tcpdump from the client, I see
(NFS over TCP):

Since I'm not familiar with the NFS code does anyone know if this should work
(or not)? If it is a problem, where should I go looking for the source of the
problem? I'm assuming somewhere in src/sys/nfsclient.
Thanks,
Heath

I actually resolved the issues described. I don't know if this was the true source of the disfunctional AP services, however, when I turned off routed all became sound again. I had also rebuilt world, and installed a newly compiled version of 6-stable, however, that still did not resolve the issues as of the previous email. I wanted to research what may have caused this issue, since I will likely see it again, especially if there is some misscommunication with routed and hostapd authentication. - Respectfully, Martes G Wigglesworth, CEO M.G.

I am unable to maintain a concurrent conection with the wireless link. The system seems to run fine without authentication, however, when using hostapd I get the following error message on std output. I am not familiar with driver troubleshooting, or hostapd code, so if someone could point me in the correct direction, I would appreciate the assistance. I've seen this happen with 6.0-REL (Tinybsd 0.8 distribution) hostapd networks as well on a customer's network. I wasn't responsible for fixing the problem, but there was also a line of thought that the real culprit was the Windows CE supplicant. With 6.0-REL, we've had problems with WEP with the Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG chipset on Window XP, but WPA and WPA-EAP worked fine. Also problematic with WEP was a hand-held Windows CE. We didn't get far with troubleshooting with the Tinybsd 0.8 distro, but upgrading to 0.9 helped alleviate the problem (although we are still testing the 0.9 system) Asahnt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
