Installation problems
I am new to FreeBSD, and am trying to install it. I have tried to installa on two separate machines, one a shuttlex xpc, and another an IBM laptop. Both times, I proceed, create the partitions and then get this message Unable to transfer the ... distribution from acd0 and finally says Unable to transfer all components of the kernels distribution I am installing it from a FreebSD 6.2 iso image burnt on a CD. Is there a problem with the CD? Any help on this would be great.

Re: Fwd: Upgrading X11 port
Hi With regards to the following post, I just wanted to clarify this. I am going to do this now. Get the ports tree, using portsnap fetch and portsnap extract and then portsnap update Then, when I install xorg, would that be the 7.3 version? or would it still be 6.9, and I would have to update it using the guideliness given in UPDATING? Is it not possible to install xorg-7.3 right from the start? avoiding this manual updating? If this question doesn make sense, then I obiviously dont understand something about port/software installation in freebsd :) On 24/11/2007, Bob Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 24 Nov 2007 07:09:20 + Frank Shute [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, Nov 24, 2007 at 01:53:48AM +, Siraj Shaikh wrote: The process described there should work for updating from 6.9 to 7.3 It works just fine.

Problem with startx
I installed freebsd (6.2) from scratch. Download, updated the ports tree. Upgraded all the ports. Installed Xorg (it was xorg-7.3). When I typed in startx it worked fine. Then I proceeded to install gnome2-lite using pkg_add -r gnome2-lite That worked fine. Tried to start startx/gnome2 (after following the instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#full-gnome). I want gnome2 to start when I type in startx. I have done this in the past, never had trouble. But when I rebooted and typed in startx, I had a problem about Shared object libintl.so.6 not found, required by gnome-session and then went to UPDATING and performed portupgrade -r gettext Now, I try startx, it doesnt work at all. It gives me the same error Shared object libintl.so.6 not found, required by gnome-session followed by waiting for X server to shutdown FreeFontPath: FPE /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing Please help! All I want to do is to be able to run gnome2.

IP Aliasing
I have a query reagrding IP aliasing in FreeBSD. I have read up on it, this has been helpful: http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/6/ I am wondering if anyone has some experience in using it, and what I want to know 1) is there an upper limit to configuring a number of alias addresses? 2) if an interface is configured with an alias address, then what address is shown on the traffic leaving this interface? So, for example, if I were to ping this machine on its primary address, I expect to get a response from the primary address of the interface. What happens if I ping an alias address, would I get a response from this alias address (as source IP on packets?), or would I get a response from the primary address configured for the interface? 3) In the above scenario, all traffic leaving the interface (regardless of the source IP on it) will have the same MAC address (the one of the interface) - is that right? 4) Does anyone know if there are there any other network characteristics or behaviour by which we can distinguish a machine having more than one IP address (primary plus alias) configued on one of its interface?

Vista / FreeBSD dual boot
I have got a machine which came with Vista pre-installed. Now I would like to install FreeBSD on it, and so that I can dual boot between the two. The machine did come with a rescue CD which has an image of Vista on it. I tried installing FreeBSD (Vista was already installed), but then got a problem with the boot loader I think. I could boot to FreeBSD fine, but couldnt to Vista. So I have reimaged the machine with Vista now. How do I go about installing FreeBSD (6.3) on it now? Anyone has done this already please?

This looks like you did not configure X.

How do I do this? what do I change? Thanks There should be a more elegant way to do this, but the way I did it was to: # pkg_delete -f xf86-video-i810-1.7.4 # cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xorg-drivers # make rmconfig # make config [untick i180 and tick intel] # portupgrade -f xorg-drivers After which, X on my laptop started behaving as it should. -- Jonathan Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jonathan I followed your instructions but still doesnt work. Now, all this is really disappointing. Would you suggest I reinstall FreeBSD 6.3? Perhaps I reinstall it without choosing Xorg during sysinstall and then install it later through package or port? If you think this wont make a difference, then I am prepared to just leave it as it is for now I think.

Re: IP Aliasing
On 29/01/2008, Olivier Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1) is there an upper limit to configuring a number of alias addresses? I have a machine with 200+ IP without any problem. 2) if an interface is configured with an alias address, then what address is shown on the traffic leaving this interface? So, for example, if I were to ping this machine on its primary address, I expect to get a response from the primary address of the interface. What happens if I ping an alias address, would I get a response from By default exiting traffic is using the primary address (the one defined with no keyword alias in the ifconfig). I think there is a way to choose the exiting IP. When a paket is responding, it use the same IP that was used in the query (else any firewall would be confused in the way). 3) In the above scenario, all traffic leaving the interface (regardless of the source IP on it) will have the same MAC address (the one of the interface) - is that right? Right except maybe some NIC that allow several MAC addresses? That could be used in hi availability? 4) Does anyone know if there are there any other network characteristics or behaviour by which we can distinguish a machine having more than one IP address (primary plus alias) configued on one of its interface? Once you cross a router, you don't see the MAC of the machine anymore, MAC is local to your LAN anyway. Olivier One last thing I wanted to know (sorry to email after a long delay), in order for me to add aliases that I want to remain configured on the machine at every boot, I can simply add, for exmaple, the following lines to the rc.conf file? ifconfig_ed0_alias0=inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0x ifconfig_ed0_alias1=inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0x ifconfig_ed0_alias2=inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0x Just want to know, as I want to configure about 253 addresses as an alias on a single machine (along with the primary address, this will be 254 address, a whole C-class subnet) - and would like these entries to hold when I boot. Also, is there any shortcut to adding a range of net/host address or would I have to add a line for each address?

Just want to know, as I want to configure about 253 addresses as an
alias on a single machine (along with the primary address, this will
be 254 address, a whole C-class subnet) - and would like these entries
to hold when I boot. Also, is there any shortcut to adding a range of
net/host address or would I have to add a line for each address?
Yes and yes. Yes it needs one line per alias and yes, there's a shortcut:
for i in $(jot - 0 254); do
echo ifconfig_ed0_alias${i}=\inet 127.0.0.$((i+1)) netmask 0x\
done /etc/rc.conf
Wouldn't do this with 127.0.0 btw, but I figured you wouldn't. You'd also
have
to make a provision for the main IP, but then again, it's easier to remove
the specific line by hand.

The gnome-session line needs to be in ${HOME}/.xinitrc, which also
needs to have permissions 700 at least.

directory? WHat do I do?

Welp - As to you running as root (you know my position) that is absolutely your call mate. A really quick fix (for the mouse) is call up sysinstall and go to Configure, then Mouse. Choose Number 3 (Type) then config from there OR go right to Number 2 (Enable) Once you have the rodent configed via sysinstall, that ought to plop the needed lines in /etc/rc.conf (your mileage may vary, standard disclaimers apply). This is just one way of trying it - you could run the Xorg config utils, or if you are brave, edit the Xorg conf file by hand. -- Best regards, Chris Fingerprint: 4201 94F9 E77F 9357 F3F3 56B7 8D20 ECC7 1AB5 FEF8 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Manually opening TCP ports
Hello I am just wondering if there is a utility (or any feature in FreeBSD) that allows me to manually open a TCP port on a machine. I am looking for a way that could either allow me to open ALL or many TCP ports on a machine. Also, is there any way of running a service on more than a single port, or on all or many ports?
