Atheros AR8131 Ethernet hangs shutdown
Hi! I recently had the chance to play with a Foxconn NetBox-nT330i. It's based off an Atom 330 CPU and an nForce MCP79 chipset. All aspects of this device appear to function quite well with 8.1-BETA1, and it's diminutive stature is quite cute. The only issue I have encountered with it thus far is a seeming propensity for it to lock up on shutdown or reboot if the Atheros AR8131 ethernet adapter is not connected to anything. It gets as far as displaying the 'Uptime' line, then hangs; however, when connected, it will display the uptime message, then indicate that the alc0 interface is going UP and DOWN, then continue. What sort of information would be the most helpful to collect to assist in tracking down the cause of this behaviour? If there is a better mailing list with which to consult, that too would be helpful.

Re: hal-0.5.14_7 to _8 upgrade problem
Hi,
OK, the next day the TAB was OK again after the recompile of kdebase (part
of the necessary recompiles specified in /usr/ports/UPDATING - 20090309)
This was on a system already on 8.0 (upgraded from 7.2)
But I have another issue with that libusb on another system, which is stil
7.2.
I want to do the same thing there as described in UPDATING - 20090309
But after pkg_delete,
pkg_delete: package 'libusb-0.1.12_4' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway):
hplip-3.10.5_1
kdebase-3.5.10_7
kdepim-3.5.10_7
kdeutils-3.5.10_5
at the
# cat ${tempfile} | xargs portupgrade -f --batch --yes | tee
/tmp/portupgrade-libusb
it first reinstalls libusb-0.1.12_4 again !?
(This is installed as a dependency of hplip-3.5.10_1)
Why ??
After pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/libusb-* I did a
# pkgdb -F
--- Checking the package registry database
Stale dependency: hplip-3.10.5_1 - libusb-0.1.12_4 (devel/libusb):

doing it also

That's kind of a shame, since tcsh is what I prefer these days, having long since given up on bash (pretty much immediately after I started using FreeBSD as my primary OS instead of bash, and realized I preferred the csh-style syntax). I may use this chance to add that I'm also a fan of FreeBSD's csh especially from the standpoint of dialog behaviour. For example, autocompletition is - in my opinion - much better than in bash (which does force too much interaction). Example: $ ls /usr/local/bin/m[tab] BEEP! *** [tab] Display all 146 possibilities? (y or n) *** y mDNSClientPosix*moc-qt4* mDNSIdentify* modutil* --More--(1%) *** q $ ls /usr/local/bin/m The *** marks all unneccessary interaction that interrupts work flow. Also, csh's history behaviour is better - again in my opinion. For example, if you enter bl and press the up / down arrow keys, you can browse all commands that started with bl, e. g. bla, bli, blubb, blonk and so on. In bash, you would browse through *all* commands using the same approach. I am aware of the fact that most shell behaviour can be configured or reprogrammed, but I'm just talking about the default settings. I've never really tried using vi-mode editing in any shell, despite the fact I'm a constant vi user (even a vi gangsta, one might say). Maybe I should some day. Thus far, though, I don't even know if tcsh supports vi-mode editing. According to man csh, it is possible: The command-line editor (+) Command-line input can be edited using key sequences much like those used in GNU Emacs or vi(1). The editor is active only when the edit shell variable is set, which it is by default in interactive shells. The bindkey builtin can display and change key bindings. Emacs-style key bindings are used by default (unless the shell was compiled other- wise; see the version shell variable), but bindkey can change the key bindings to vi-style bindings en masse. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Dear Jerry, as CEO of FreeBSD Multinational Corporation Incorporated, please allow me to personally apologise for this unforgiveable lapse by our 'Keep FreeBSD 100% Firefox-Compatible' Department; trust me, heads will roll.

Now, I assume that you are familiar with the nVidia 64 bit drivers and FreeBSD. It took years for that to be rectified. Based on that past experience, I feel that stating that Firefox-4 might well be released before a serviceable Java is available for version 3.6+ is a real possibility. Your commentary does serve to prove a very real point however. To wit: Pointing out or stating a problem with a Microsoft product is insightful, constructive criticism; however, doing the same for an open source product is destructive, counter productive, flame bait. Seriously Ian, I question whether the FreeBSD authors are more interested in bumping version numbers than they are in producing a fully serviceable, quality product. When was the last time you tried getting a native FreeBSD driver for an 'N' class USB wireless device? Drivers for chips over a year old don't exist. It just seems to me that the priority should be on getting the present product fully functional rather than simply bumping version numbers.

The JRE from java.sun.com has binaries for Linux, Solaris, and Windows-- which are the officially supported Java platforms-- and one could add Apple's MacOSX. If you are running FreeBSD, Plan 9, HP/UX, IRIX, AIX, or anything else, Java is not going to be nearly as well-supported. If Java is critical to you, seriously consider using another platform. Now, I assume that you are familiar with the nVidia 64 bit drivers and FreeBSD. It took years for that to be rectified. Based on that past experience, I feel that stating that Firefox-4 might well be released before a serviceable Java is available for version 3.6+ is a real possibility. That's entirely possible. Your commentary does serve to prove a very real point however. To wit: Pointing out or stating a problem with a Microsoft product is insightful, constructive criticism; however, doing the same for an open source product is destructive, counter productive, flame bait. Like many things, different people's motives and perspective tend to shape how they perceive the same set of underlying facts. Seriously Ian, I question whether the FreeBSD authors are more interested in bumping version numbers than they are in producing a fully serviceable, quality product. The two aren't closely related. Major version # bumps in commercial software often happen because the vendor wants to sell upgrade licenses, but that motivation simply doesn't apply to FreeBSD. Major version # bumps happen in FreeBSD primarily because of major API changes which end up making an entirely new version of userland libc other libraries desirable. When was the last time you tried getting a native FreeBSD driver for an 'N' class USB wireless device? Never. The only 'N' device I have around is a Macbook Pro, and that's running the vendor-supplied driver which came with the device. Drivers for chips over a year old don't exist. It just seems to me that the priority should be on getting the present product fully functional rather than simply bumping version numbers. Then again, that is just my 2₵. Hopefully you get your money's worth.

guys, i understand that it is 'improper' to reply to one's

of what is ggoing on.
First, i tried to start apache22 with the script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d; same outcome, just same results are
starting the binary directly. nonetheless, i edited the
httpd.conf in /usr/local/etc/apache22. i corrected the
libphp.so directory to read 'apache' rather than 'apache22'.
so the library is presumably loaded, then something else is
missing. i cannot find ap_user_id; neither locate nor a
recursive grep finds this string.
when i exec the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 with 'configtest'

I don't feel the need to install all of KDE or GNOME just to get a word processor and spreadsheet program I might use a couple times a year. I don't think Go-oo is smaller than OO.o, though it is reportedly a lot faster.

nvi autoindent
Is there perhaps some way to get language-specific autoindent with nvi, perhaps similar to what Vim provides?

might give him an edge. no .. this was gratis. not dime,
dollar, nor favor is involved. i would like to get apache up
for myself and my friend. gotta say that this port wasn't
handled very well in /usr/ports/UPDATING. OR, too, i may be
the idiot de jour. i only care that my webserver gets up
again, so thanks for any clues!

the lang/php5 (or lang/php52) port builds the apache module. you will
need to rebuild the php port.
