which ports require dialog during update
Hi, Is there a way to tell which ports might require dialog input during update, i have some auto update scripts which when prompted will run through updates, but occassionally i forget which will require user input and this leads to dialog running ( often @ 100%) until i notice. Obviously i only do this for what i'd consider to be trivial updates and it makes things a lot quicker when you have a lot of boxes to do! I had initialy thought that checking for make targets might be an idea, the lack of a config target for example. On one box which does have a config/options target, i see options come up via dialog. /usr/ports/security/p5-IO-Socket-SSL brings up the config options for this port, both unchecked [ ] IDN International Domain Names (IDN) support x x [ ] IPV6 IPv6 support on another box there's no dialog from either an update via portupgarde or via a direct make in the port dir ( make config is the same on both and does bring up the dialog) the Makefiles are identical both in the ports dir and in the work dir, both systems are 8.2-REL. Can i programmatically tell if user input is required? thanks Paul. ___ 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

smb browing via nautilus
Good day Ive got this problem whereby via gnomes nautilus, smb browing is *incredibly slow*. For example, if I type and try to connect to smb://foo, it takes quite awhile, before the shares are available. Then I can click on the share. I wait a bit more. I find if I manually mount the smb share (mount_smb), then browse to the mount point via nautilus, copying files is a breeze. If someone could help me it would be appreciated.

So long as you're confident that you have actually downloaded the
sources from the RELENG_9 branch, then you can be confident that the
system version will be one of those -- at the moment, you'll get 9.0-RC1
but over time this will eventually change to 9.0-STABLE.
I can't find any such information explicitly anywhere under /usr/src .
The file you want is /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh This is a script that
edits version information into various source code files. The bit you
need is near the top of the file -- just following line 33:
33 TYPE=FreeBSD
34 REVISION=9.0
35 BRANCH=RC1
36 if [ X${BRANCH_OVERRIDE} != X ]; then
37 BRANCH=${BRANCH_OVERRIDE}
38 fi
39 RELEASE=${REVISION}-${BRANCH}
40 VERSION=${TYPE} ${RELEASE}
41 SYSDIR=$(dirname $0)/..
Unfortunately the value want is RELEASE, which is assembled from parts,
so not trivially grep'able. But you can easily see the REVISION is set
to 9.0 and BRANCH is RC1 so the whole things comes to 9.0-RC1. Simple.
This releng9-supfile was made from stable-supfile by changing RELENG_8 to
RELENG_9 in the line
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8
I've been following the emailing lists current, questions and ports,
noticed the heads-up that HEAD was going to 10-current.
Maybe also I should put this releng9-supfile in a safer place where
it won't be deleted by the next installation/upgrade?
No -- you shouldn't need to worry about that. The name
'releng9-supfile' you chose doesn't match anything produced by the
system, so it won't be overwritten. (Not that you shouldn't keep a
backup somewhere -- that's only sensible.)
Hmmm actually you have highlighted a small omission in the
procedures for branching RELENG_9 and RELENG_9_0 -- the cvsup example
supfiles /usr/src/share/examples/{stable,standard}-supfile should be
updated to match the branch they are installed from. In your case both
of those files should use the RELENG_9 tag, but that hasn't been
commmitted yet.

strange behavior of restore(8)
Colleagues, I am trying to restore a UFS2 zero level dump sized about 51G. restore has created 6105 directories and no files at all, and now is waiting forever in the runnable state. What could the problem be? I have always used dump/restore with success. Does the number 6105 look somewhat suspiciuos? I have tried restore -rN with the same result: after some time it just seems to do nothing, not reading from tape or disk. Still it is not frozen, you can press ^C and it will ask: restore interrupted, continue? [yn] Its /tmp/rstdir1318692759 file has the size about 38M, I still have plenty of room in /tmp.

trying to learn systems programming, fear I have not understood and thus messed up
To improve on my C and to learn something about systems programming, I
have begun to pick out bite-size bits from the bin-PRs. Currently, I
am dispairing about bin/149972, which is about 1) adding error handling
to pw being invoced pw -u username and 2) trying to get a uid from
the (incorrectly) passed username. Currently, I cannot accomplish want
I wanted to do, so I turn here for hints or help.
Three developers which I have failed to reach by mail (gpf@, kibab@,
bcr@) have added the necessary code
if ((arg = getarg(args, 'u')) != NULL) {
if(isdigit((unsigned char)*arg-val)) {
pwd-pw_uid = (uid_t) atol(arg-val);
edited = 1;
if (pwd-pw_uid != 0 strcmp(pwd-pw_name, root) == 0)
errx(EX_DATAERR, can't change uid of `root' account);
if (pwd-pw_uid == 0 strcmp(pwd-pw_name, root) != 0)
warnx(WARNING: account `%s' will have a uid of 0 (superuser
access!), pwd-pw_name); } else {
/* Found something, but not a number */
/*
* XXX Shouldn't we try to map the passed string to the username?
* man page however says that we're expecting numeric uid...
*/
errx(EX_DATAERR, Expected numeric user id as an argument to -u\n);
}
}
I have tried to follow the suggestion from the comment by modifiying
the else-statement thus:
} else {
struct passwd *trgpwd;
if (!(trgpwd = GETPWNAM(arg-val)))
errx(EX_DATAERR, User %s does not exist, arg-val);
if (strcmp(a_name-val,root) == 0)
errx(EX_DATAERR, can't change uid of `root' account);
if (strcmp(trgpwd-pw_name, root) == 0)
warnx(WARNING: account `%s' will have a uid of 0 (superuser
access!), pwd-pw_name);
pwd-pw_uid = (uid_t) (trgpwd-pw_uid);
edited = 1;
}
What happens is not what I intended. I invoke as sudo ./pw usermod
testuser1 -u testuser2. I can get testuser2's pwd-entry by GETPWNAM
allright, but when I assign the pw_uid, so as to make testuser2's uid
the same as testuser1's and imgaining to retain all other values, ./pw
reports pw: user 'testuser2' disappeared during update and the
testuser2's /etc/passwd entry is replaced by testuser1's.
I fear I have not understood GETPWNAM correctly, as it seems to replace
the struct pwd as some sort of sideeffect. I could manually set all
pwd-members to the correct ones (those of testuser2), but I fear that I
have messed something up beforehand.
I am grateful for any suggestions and/or correction.

Hi, Is there a way to tell which ports might require dialog input during update, i have some auto update scripts Stop doing this. Your update scripts do not read /usr/ports/UPDATING. Your update scripts do not read package changelogs. What you're doing is irresponsible, and potentially dangerous/harmful if your server is in production.

If you use portmaster, it will get the make config step out of the way up front (as others have mentioned). Since you're already building on a test machine, why not use that system to build packages for your other systems? Invoking portmaster with the -g option will create packages in /usr/ports/packages. From there, upload the packages to an FTP (or HTTP) server, or host them directly the test machine. Setting the PACKAGEROOT environment variable will make pkg_add -r package(s) pull packages from the test machine. Doing things this way, you don't have to worry about getting prompted for package options. I'm yet to see any package actually require user interaction during install, but YMMV. This method, however, assumes that: - You are running the same version of FreeBSD on all systems - You use the same CPU arch. on all systems - You do not need ports build with different options on some systems - You are not using any conflicting packages Unfortunately, there's no good way of upgrading packages on FreeBSD (that I'm aware of, at least).

Upgrading libxul, dependency on Firefox 3
Greetings... I was running portupgrade on libxul and noticed it depends on Firefox 3.x. I cancelled the upgrade, because I thought FF3.x was insecure and therefore deprecated while FF7 was recommended and secure. My questions: 1) is the dependency libxul has for FF3 a security problem? 2) is the dependency on FF3 a bug in libxul? If it is a bug, who should receive a report: gecko@ or the Mozilla project? FYI: I'm pretty sure it was portsclean -D (and not me) that deleted FF3...yet libxul tried to pull it in during the portupgrade.

Re: Help needed: sound/audio only semi-working
Ronald F. Guilmette r...@tristatelogic.com writes: I've been bringing up a new amd64 box with 8.2-RELEASE. So far I've managed to get everything installed OK, including a boatload of freshly-built ports. I've even gotten flash10 working with firefox... well... Unfortunately, this is only MOSTLY working. The video works great, but for audio all I get is absolute silence. The really strange thing is that after I followed all the directions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/sound-setup.html This command: cat /dev/random /dev/dsp *does* produce quite a bit of white noise sound. However when I perform the other officially recommended basic audio functionality test: cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 with one of my favorite old audo CDs in the drive (AND with that special little wire running from the back of the drive to my motherboard) all that happens is that the CD/DVD drive apparently _does_ start to read some stuff... as evidenced by the blinking access light in the front of the drive... but I still get no sound out, and YouTube videos still aren't giving me any audio even though the video seems to be playing perfectly. So, um, I am grasping for ideas here on how I can debug this problem furher. I really have no idea what to do next to get this debugged. I supposed that if nobody gives me a good suggestion, I'm gonna try swapping out that special little wire for another one and then try swapping the CD/DVD drive for another one if that still doesn't solve it.

I had already ripped all of my CDs to .ogg files, so I hadn't needed to play the CDs directly. I just tested ripping a small section of a CD using cdparanoia and it does produce a .wav audio file that can be played using sox. I also notice on my computer that mixer doesn't show any controls for CD audio. Unfortunately, I don't remember if CDs worked properly on this computer when I had Linux installed, so I don't know if the problem is FreeBSD or the motherboard. I did find that I have a program called kscd (for KDE) that will play, but I suspect that it uses digital extraction instead of playing from audio. My system uses a Gigabyte GA-MA785GPM-US2H, and the sndstat output is: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64) Installed devices: pcm0: HDA ATI RS690/780 HDMI PCM #0 HDMI (play) pcm1: HDA Realtek ALC885 PCM #0 Analog (play/rec) default pcm2: HDA Realtek ALC885 PCM #1 Analog (play/rec) pcm3: HDA Realtek ALC885 PCM #2 Digital (play/rec) Let me know if you want further information. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ 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
Re: strange behavior of restore(8)

I don't have any specific advice here, but if it were me I think my next troubleshooting step would be to attach truss to the restore process after it gets stuck, to try to see exactly what it's doing. That may give you a clue as to why it's taking so long and whether it's actually making any progress. It's doing something like that.
