OT - Opera 12.12 crashes while uploading an image on Flickr

2013-01-11 Thread parv

Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.12 -- has been crashing whenever I try to
upload an image in JPEG format ...

( opened raw file in ufraw 0.18_4; sent to gimp 2.6.12,2;
  resized  saved as JPEG. I uploaded it via Firefox 10.0.11,1
  without any problems. )


... on Flickr via ...

  http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/basic/?reason=noflash


... Opera crashes during the transfer (after file has been chosen by
pressing Choose ... and pressing UPLOAD).

Could anybody tell me if the problem is with Opera-Flickr
interaction or something inherent in the file itself?

9.1 - FTP_PASSIVE_MODE removed from login.conf?

2013-01-11 Thread Arthur Chance
I see that the default environment in /etc/login.conf no longer contains 
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES. I presume this is because ftp and fetch default to 
passive mode so it's deemed no longer necessary?

 It is /usr/ports/packages/All.
 If that is indeed the default location, how do I get the
 make install package command put it there automatically?
 
 All packages will be stored
 in /usr/ports/packages/All/relevant/sub/directory. There is no need
 for any any configuration or files. # make package is the proper
 command for building packages which are/is installed via ports.
 
 Is the upcoming pkgng going to have any effect on this?


Funny you should ask, I was toying with that just yesterday, as a matter of 
fact.


Works well with pkgng, it lets me create static packages of already installed 
ports:
# pkg create -nao /usr/ports/packages/All


Then creating the repo.txz file for use by clients is rather easy
# pkg repo -qf /usr/ports/packages


And then, on your client host:
# /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
PACKAGESITE : http://195.158.241.101



# pkg stats

 There is no text mode web browser in the base system.
 Installing one is easy: As the HTML files generated
 for the Handbook are good quality, they display nicely
 in lynx, links, and w3m (probably the most prominent
 three text mode web browsers).


   
I must know...
   
What is Polytropon's favorite of those listed? (and perhaps also 
elinks ?)
   
   Hard to say, now that X is everywhere... :-)
   
   In the past, I've started using lynx because it was the
   default. Somehow I even tend to remember that it was part
   of the default installation in around FreeBSD 4 or so...
   but that could be wrong.

No that's right, it had been lynx since 2.2, if not earlier.  Somewhere 
early in 5.x, by 5.2 at least, it had changed to links:

Use SPACE to select/toggle an option, arrow keys to move,
? or F1 for more help.  When you're done, type Q to Quit.

This is the browser package that will be used for viewing HTML docs
===


   Later on I tried w3m and also found it usable.
   
   Today I'd say I prefer links for interactive text mode
   browsing. Still lynx -dump is a welcome tool in some
   of my scripts, and never change a running system. :-)

I used to use lynx a lot, browsing the web through a 56k modem in the 
late '90s, however I made far more headway with links as it could deal 
reasonably well with basic functional javascript where lynx couldn't, 
at least then, and I seem to recall an issue with upstream maintenance.


  Ok, the reason I ask is actually because I have this insane (?) idea of 
  shoving
  one of the aforementioned solutions onto the installation media so that 
  (gasp)
  we can have that functionality back like we had in the days of sysinstall.

Shock horror! :)  No, not insane at all.  I can't believe the disconnect 
from newer FreeBSD users' needs that bsdinstall presently represents, 
especially those with less than the latest awesome kit, and I applaud 
you carrying on with bsdconfig and improving bsdinstall, about which I 
have far too many suggestions that might steal this topic :)

  So naturally, my first question is which one?
  
  Thoughts?
  -- 
  Devin

Well I doubt links works any less well that it did, though it's probably 
not up to all the latest JS, CSS and other recent tricks 'out there'.  
Certainly for the stated purpose of rendering Handbook and FAQ it will 
do fine.  It does (did then) weigh more than lynx but worth it, I feel:

smithi on sola% ls -l `which links`
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2959956 Oct 25  2006 /usr/local/bin/links
smithi on sola% ls -l `which lynx`
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1078068 Jul 26  2006 /usr/local/bin/lynx


Polytropon concludes:

   However, The FreeBSD Handbook and the FAQ mostly contain
   text, I mean, that's what they are about, and for reading
   text I don't see a need for graphics. If I want graphics,
   I have X. :-)

Exactly.  Although regarding installing X on 9.1 before newer packages 
are available - and it IS painful or at least very slow to build on the 
likes of 1GHz laptops - I can't see any reason the X that was working 
as of mid-October would be any problem, unless there's been some major 
revision or security scare since?  The 9.x ABI is constant.  I grabbed:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/en-freebsd-doc.tbz
 
(dated 10/16/12 09:13:00) and pkg_add'ed it, and will do the same for X 
when I get 9.1 also going on my 'big' 768MB RAM ThinkPad.

For those with the horsepower, sure, build X, KDE/GNOME, OpenOffice etc.

cheers, Ian

make release doesn't correctly include EXTLOCALDIR ?

2013-01-11 Thread Fleuriot Damien
Hello list,


I'm running 8.3-stable r245223 from a mere 2 days ago and am in the process of 
building a custom release for our internal use as preconfigured firewalls.

make release works pretty fine except for a few quirks here and there.



First of all, I have set EXTLOCALDIR so that the release contains my existing 
/usr/local/ , and thus the collection of installed ports.

The problem here is that while /release/usr/local/ is correctly populated, the 
ISO images and ftp install directory have an empty usr/local/
Extracting the ISO's base.?? files doesn't yield the /usr/local/ contents 
either.




The second problem I encounter is with the kernel's build.
Apparently make release doesn't pull MODULES_OVERRIDE from /etc/make.conf and 
decides to build every single module, as opposed to my own restricted list.

I'm going to try with with KERNEL_FLAGS=-DMODULES_OVERRIDE module1 module2 in 
/usr/src/release/Makefile



Has anyone else ever experienced the same problem regarding the inclusion of 
/usr/local/ in their release ?

Starting the desktop environment doesn't work automatically

2013-01-11 Thread Ralf Mardorf
Hi :)

I'm running FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 and installed Xfce4 and GDM2 from ports.

Without GDM I need to run startx manually to start Xfce. If I enable
GDM, it will start automatically, it displays the user, but the input
field to type the password is missing.

There's no difference with or without a mounted proc, with or without
gnome_enable=YES. Perhaps I missed to mount proc and to enable GNOME
at the same time, I'll try this later.

Any hints are welcome.

FWIW this might be related to the issue:
Thunar doesn't mount devices, such as USB sticks.
I only can log out, but restart and shutdown aren't available for Xfce,
they are shadowed.

I don't think it's related, but when I installed Xfce I got
gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.6: Needs cairo build with X11 support., I
build gtk-update-icon-cache and continued with Xfce after that, but
missed to rebuild cairo.

I later today will run
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/cairo 
# make deinstall 
# make reinstall

Do I need to reinstall gtk-update-icon-cache and Xfce too? The problem
is, that I need the computer for work and building X, Xfce and GDM did
take around 12 hours on a dual-core Athlon 2.1 GHz with 4 GB RAM, during
this time I can't run Linux to work. It wasn't possible, resp. I wasn't
able to automatically use the default configurations, btw. in this case
an advantage, since I need to compile without pulseaudio support.

Regards,
Ralf

Yes. 'pkg create' may be used to create arbitrary packages outside the

The LATEST_LINK layout is aimed at people logging into a ftp server and
hunting through the directory tree for the packages they want.  Most
pkgng repos won't let you login like that, nor will all of them
necessarily let you get a directory listing, other than the data you can
extract from repo.sqlite.

As for special casing things when writing to ${PORTSDIR}/packages/All --

2. Run sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.32 in Freebsd shell before
starting the jail, otherwise you will get error kernel too old.

Otherwise, so far so good :-)

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation, Matthew. It's no big deal; I 
was just curious. Yes, I was aware that pkg repo ignores symlinks - it 
says so in 'man pkg-repo'.

sound issue: play interrupt timeout, channel dead

2013-01-11 Thread Stephan Schindel
Hiho,

after upgrading to 9.1 I have got a problem with my sound card. Sry I
am not sure what sound card I have (onboard chipset by NVidia), but it
uses the snd_hda module for sure. Sometimes my sound goes completely
away and I found this message in the logs:

 pcm0: chn_write(): pcm0:play:dsp0.p1: play interrupt timeout, channel
 dead

I can not reproduce this, it sometimes happens when watching youtube
and sometimes when listen to music via VLC. It happened to me at least
5-6 times until now. I need to reboot my machine in order to reset the
driver which is pretty annoying.

Do you have any similar issues with the improved snd_hda stack?

Maybe this is my onboard chipset:

 hdac0: NVIDIA MCP61 HDA Controller mem 0xfce78000-0xfce7bfff irq 23
 at device 5.0 on pci0
 hdac1: NVIDIA GT108 HDA Controller mem 0xfcf7c000-0xfcf7 irq 17
 at device 0.1 on pci2

It was the same story for me.
 
Try 10.0 and see what happens there. I came to 10 for other reasons. I
got stuck with 10 after I saw that it solved my problem on that machine.

pkg_info -g could be used to detect port files that don't match their

Then use portupgrade -rf or portmaster -r on that port.

 The error is with regards to the X protocol, not the TCP or UNIX socket

 information using xauth(1), or that the connecting host or user was
 allowed to connect using xhost(1).

The problem does indeed have something to do with authority/permission,
since xhost + fixes it.  (Not the best solution, but sufficient to
demonstrate where the trouble lies.)

I still claim that the message is bogus.  It's now perfectly clear
that both ends know exactly what protocol to use, and they are using
it -- else telling the server to accept all remote connections would
have made no difference.  The message should mention authority and/or
permission, instead of pretending that the client can't figure out
what protocol to use because none was specified.

Kernel decision logic on ICMP redirect

2013-01-11 Thread Dennis Glatting
I have a network:


 NetA - GW1 --- GW2 - NetB
 |- GW3 - NetC   
   HostFoo - |

GW1 is a Cisco router running OSPF.

GW2 is FreeBSD 9.1 running OSPF via Quagga, and is forwarding.

GW3 is FreeBSD 9.1 connected to another network and is forwarding.


GW2 has a static route pointing to NetC.


HostFoo has a default route (only) to GW2 and can ping a host on NetC
because it gets an ICMP redirect from GW2 (FreeBSD) to GW3. However, if
HostFoo pings a a host on NetA it DOES NOT get a ICMP redirect from GW2.

Looking through the kernel code, which is where I need help, it seems
routes learned DYNAMIC, in this case GW2 via OSPF from GW1, are not
routes for which redirects will be generated by GW2. Is that true? 

What is it I need to do to convenience GW2 to generate redirects for
learned routes?

Have you considered using something like a small laptop
(like the Asus eeePC) which is small enough and provides
sufficient UNIX compatibility? Additionally, a regular
keyboard (even if in small size) provides tactile feedback
which can be an advantage (as you don't need visual
confirmation about something that's covered by your
fingers).

I think such kind of netbook can be obtained for few money.
Some of them were shipped with Linux, if I remember correctly,
and if you wish to install FreeBSD, it's also possible.
Here are some examples which illustrate the feasibility
of such a project:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee

http://www.freebsdgr.org/articles/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/install-eeepc/article.html

http://www.unixarea.de/installEeePC.txt

The requirements are met: small screen, physical keyboard,
built-in speakers. If getting online with it is required,
that's also possible by using some selected USB web stick.

have you looked at Samsung. They have a quiet interesting range from
hand phones to tablets. I do not know the size up to which they can be
used as hand phones but some pretty large models have this function
built-in.

My daughter has one I would still call a hand phone. She is very happy
with it. 

The keyboard has to be an external one in all cases. I do not know it
this works on all models.

Duplicate files on distro ISO

2013-01-11 Thread Christian Campbell
I just tried creating a bootable USB stick with UNetbootin
from FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso. The stick was blank (newly
formatted). While UNetbootin worked it asked about overwriting the
following files:


 /usr/bin/cc

/usr/share/openssl/man/man3/ssl.3.gz


So, the files seem to be in the ISO twice each. FWIW:

1. I said 'no' to each overwrite.
2. The files deposited on the stick had capitalised names, like /usr/bin/CC
.

Does the above pose a problem?
Thanks,

Pinta - fix an error or find an alternative

2013-01-11 Thread Alexander Alexeev

Hello.

I've recently installed Pinta (a lightweight graphical editor) from 
ports, but when I run it, it crashes with the following error:


GLib.GException: Icon 'gtk-dialog-error' not present in theme

How can I fix this?

Or maybe someone could suggest any alternative to Pinta? I tried to find 
one, but I failed. I need a graphical editor to use it in my script for 
making a screenshot, editing it and uploading to ImageShak.us. Gimp is 
not suitable in this case, because it needs too much time to start and 
has too complicated interface. I just need to crop an image and draw a 
few lines or rectangles.


If someone is interested, here is a script:
