Shouldn't we give the cvs URI instead of the svn?  Isn't cvs the norm
whereas svn may be on it's way out?  I could totally be in left field about
that though.

Actually, it's the other way round: FreeBSD (src repository) switched to
svn from CVS some time ago.
Both your link and Glen's are valid though.  Source may also be
downloaded using csup (although I think the smallest subcollection for
sysinstall would be src-usrsbin and you would definitely get more than
sysinstall with that).

I'm not aware of SVN being on it's way out.  Either way, either
source could have been located with a little Google effort.

If you haven't invested much time in it yet, install 7.2. Because if you
run into problems with 7.1, that's the first advice you'll get anyway.

There is no guarantee that those are the final images (although they likely
are.) It has happened before that last-minute problems have been found
resulting in a need for images being replaced by fixed ones before the
announcement went out.


I suggest you wait for the announcement.  I believe the official release
(and accompanying announcement) is planned for tomorrow, so unless some
last-minute problem do pop you should not have to wait all that long.  (And
if there is some last-minute problem it is probably a good idea to wait
until it is fixed.)

Is there known issue with the port of Xdvi (/usr/ports/print/xdvi) on

I suspect there is a problem with the size of the int/short/long as
Xdvi detects wrong number of bits in some font files, while these same
font files are used without problem by other ports and are identical
to font files generated in x86 system.


Though I am now on 7.1, I was using xdvi on 6.4/amd64 without
noticing any issues.

Exactly which fonts are you having trouble with?  I can tell you

I have latest verison of port quagga, I looks as bug in quagga,
but I dont know. Do you have any idea for solution?

It is a bug in quagga, or rather a condition that triggers a built-in
verification macro called assert(3). Normal behavior for this macro is
to terminate the program if the asserted condition fails, as it does here.

It looks if a function that calculates the length of a string gets a
larger value than it can cope with. It is possible that an internal
buffer for a string isn't large enough. In this day and age I would
respectfully call that bad coding.

You should report it to the author(s), sinze they put in this check.
It is possible to disable this bahaviour at compile time, see
assert(3). But this is unwise unless you know what you're doing.

Without diving into the source code, it is impossible to be certain that
this is not a FreeBSD bug. But it looks more like ungracefull handling
of an error condition.

Hey John,
  In order to achieve this, there are two methods that I know of,
however, they are only tested in the Bourne and Bourne Again shells.

clear  logout # Bourne Again (Bash) Shell
clear  exit # Bourne (sh) Shell

You may have to try similar commands (specific for that shell) for shells
that are not Bourne-derived, but one of these two commands should almost
always work.

Perhaps other shells have a similar feature.

 How do I get it to clear the screen (and the scroll buffer) when the
 login prompt gets redisplayed?

My /etc/csh.logout and /etc/csh.login contains:

echo $TERM | grep cons25  /dev/null  clear  vidcontrol -C

For other shells it's similar.

 Hey John,

 clear  logout # Bourne Again (Bash) Shell
 clear  exit # Bourne (sh) Shell


I tried this, but I can still scroll back with the scroll lock key.
'clear' seems to just put the prompt at the top of the screen, not get
rid of scroll history...

That combined with 'clear' does the trick.

Is there any way I could have this execute when the login: prompt

In other words, I want this clearing to happen for all users

I haven't seen anything in login(1) or login.conf(5) that allows this

Two options:

a) Clear everything right after login. Put the command clear
   in your ~/.login, or /etc/csh.login for all users.

b) Clear everything right after logout, so the new login will
   get a blank screen. Put the command clear in your ~/.logout,
   or /etc/csh.logout for all users.

This assumes that you have the standard dialog shell csh. If
you're using bash, you need to modify its respective files,
~/.profile or ~/.bashrc - I don't know, I'm using csh. :-)

 That is very low. I get about 60MB/sec in this way. Adding bs=1m it'll go up
 to 240MB/sec even (raidz1 with 4*1TB).

 Could you show top -S ?

I will, the next time I experience the issue.

I had already rebooted the box, which immediately alleviated the
issue. I can only presume, at this point, that it seems to have been
related to the 2gb of allocated/active memory shown by top. I had no
memory intensive apps running, merely an idle lighttpd, mysqld, and
rtorrent (which only occupied about 90mb).

Thanks,

Broken Partition

2009-05-03 Thread Chris Chambers
Hi,

Using partition magic, I freed some space from my msdos partition. Then using 
sysinstall's fdisk and label, I attempted to add the space to my freebsd 
partition. I broke the installation. The boot loader can not find /boot/kernal. 
I tried mounting the partition under FixIt, but mount says broken argument.

Any ideas?

Chris

When you say add the space to my freebsd partition what exactly did you 
do?

What device nodes are listed for your disk from the fixit environment?

What is this all about?


Exemys' mailer is broken.  Here are the details:

Exemys sent mail that was of type

  multipart/alternative

meaning that each part is an alternative view of the content.   
However, exemys' mailer doesn't actually do what it should and the  
part that was text/plain just had the text that we saw while the other  
part (presumably text/html) had the real content.


Mailman, the mailing list system used for the list, correctly cuts out  
text/html parts of multipart/alternative messages and just sends on  
the text/plain alternative to the list members.


So the problem is that the original poster's mail headers falsely  
claim that the parts are genuine alternatives while in fact the text  
part is just a notice to read the other alternate.


Mailman is behaving correctly in my view, stripping out any HTML  
alternates and just going with the text/plain alternative.  Exemys'  
mailer is broken in that it sends messages that claim to provide a  
text/plain alternative, but doesn't actually honor that claim.


Cheers,

xorg error with xfce3 wm install

2009-05-03 Thread Al Plant

Aloha,

I have used XFCE (3) from ports on all my FreeBSD desktops since 3.* .
I tried to install a test box with 8.0 CURRENT 200902 amd4 disc1.iso
Everything was fine until I tried to run xfce_setup.
It goes to a normal mouse arrow than dies off with this error.
xlib extension error Generic Event Extension missing on display :0.0.

Has anyone on our list seen this?  Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a 
line in the config that I can add manually? I have setup many XFCE3 
desktops and other than unidentified video cards, which have to be 
replaced with something FreeBSD can identify and connect to, it has just 
worked.


I find XFCE4 to loaded for the tasks I need. Thats why I use the older 
simpler version of this wm.


I tried on the XFCE forum but no response from anybody there.
Any help or direction on how to fix this is appreciated.

Thanks

The solution I've deployed in my environment is to have /etc/issue contain a 
single ^L character.
Prior to doing that, /etc/issue contained 25+ blank lines, which effectively 
cleared the terminal before displaying the login prompt.

Hi!

Have you tried to recompile the port from which that library came?
(pkg_info -W /usr/local/lib/libavahi-common.so.3 should help you finding
the correct port if you do not know which port that is)

  To rebuild your locate database, just run

  It makes finding files much easier.


 After rebuilding the locate database I get the following:

 However, after running

 ldconfig -r | grep libthr

 I get:

 [r...@pcbsd /usr/ports/www/apache22]# ldconfig -r | grep libthr
623:-lthr.1 = /usr/local/lib/compat/libthr.so.1
624:-lthread_db.1 = /usr/local/lib/compat/libthread_db.so.1

 With so many hits on libthr from locate, why is ldconfig only finding these
 two instances in /usr/local/lib/compat?  Aren't these for linux
 compatibility?

2nd paragraph under Description


You may need to rescan and re-update the hints file.  See same manpage for

  If that fails, I'm afraid you'll have to
  upgrade to 7.x
 

 I hope it doesn't come to that.

SATA flash drive vs 7.0

I have added a 64GB Patriot flash drive to a 7.0 system, but it does
not seem to be working properly.  Pertinent parts of dmesg.boot:

At first things look OK:

  $ ls -l /dev/ad6*
  crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  88 May  3 20:30 /dev/ad6
  $ file -s /dev/ad6
  /dev/ad6: x86 boot sector, Microsoft Windows XP MBR, Serial 0x9e5523de
  $ grep -w ad6 /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf
  drive f: file=/dev/ad6
  $ mdir f:
  init F: non DOS media
  Cannot initialize 'F:'

Now this seems a bit odd:  file(1) says it's a Windows disk, but
mdir(1) says it isn't.  (Note that there are no slices, else the
initial ls(1) should have shown them.)  Then, when I tried to
investigate further by examining the contents of the drive with
od -c /dev/ad6 | more, I got one screenful of output followed
by (on console and in dmesg):

  interrupt storm detected on irq9:; throttling interrupt source
  interrupt storm detected on irq9:; throttling interrupt source

etc. etc. until I killed it with ^C.  (Just entering q, to cause
more(1) to exit and presumably stop od(1) with a SIGPIPE, did not
stop the spew of messages.)

What does this indicate?Bad drive?  Controller?  Configuration?
PEBCAK?
