howto un-chmod 755 /usr/local?
Would you believe me if I said a script I use daily went awry? Is there a list of the proper permission modes for things in /usr/local to get a working system back, aside of starting over? Is there a better way? I've already tried and "upgrade" from the 8.1 cd, which doesn't seem to have affected /usr/local permissions much (which sort of makes sense), as well as a portupgrade -akfO, which didn't seem to have much traction either. Symptoms: XOrg gives some rather uninteresting info and hangs while still in text mode. Sudo compalins about needing chroot, etc. etc. Thanks, Steve ___ 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"
fixed: can't find .so, but it's right there.
Bugger me! Something, sometime, pulled a linux mplayer onto my disk, wonder when I did that? (It's been awhile that I've had this issue, and I have a bad habit of dump/restoring disks between work & home computers willy-nilly). Anyway, /usr/bin/mplayer looked a bit funny (not in /usr/local), and brandelf /usr/bin/mplayer caught it red-handed as an SRV4 file! (should have been FreeBSD for anyone out there reading the archives not familiar with brandelf). Deleted it, and the freebsd mplayer hiding in /usr/local/bin fired right up. Anyway, thanks, y'all; sorry for the dumb question!

syncer hemorrhages numbers on shutdown then panics
I just did a 'new huge disk' procedure (aka dump 0aLf - | restore - for each label). I have a script for automating it, and it usually seems to work, but not today! Silent failures/corruptions do not make me comfortable, especially coming from my backup tools (yes, no errors seen in log). System seems to work, but it won't shutdown! syncher spits out random numbers for 10 minutes or more then panics. Should I start over? Why didn't dump/restore unambiguously copy my working disk to my new one? I didn't see any expicit errors... Also, X won't start, complaining about inability to write something for the keymap into /tmp; probably part of the same problem. Stranger still, an rsync -n from one disk to the other seems to agree that the two match!

I thought it was the kludged state of my desktop, but the 8-release server I just brought up fresh yesterday is doing it too: alt-tab works, alt-shift-tab does not. For those of us who are not into gnome/kde/cutesy menus & panels, this is a major PITA.

x11/xfce ssh-agent once per logon for minimal (no gnome/kde) installation
I'm totally lost. What I desire is to put in my passphrase for my public key(s) when I logon to my box. Since I usually install from ports and use xfce, I have no infrastructure for this, and I'm getting nowhere fast. My Fedora box popped up a nice little "enter passphrase" box the very first time I ssh'd to my server, and now it 'just works'. My FreeBSD boxes (which are many - everything *but* the laptop with Fedora), 'just don't work'. I've installed everything with 'ssh' and either 'key' or 'agent' in the name from ports/security, and gone through the manpages, and tweaked countless environment variables, but every time I ssh on a FreeBSD box, it stubbornly locates the terminal I started any gui's from (i.e. meld + bzr), and asks for the passphrase a great many times daily. Add that I've started my gui with meld& (so as to continue using said terminal - don't love 'panels', 'choosers', 'menus', etc - guis are for word processors and file managers, not desktops), I can't even type in the passphrase there.

Re: Opera 10.5 - bad looking fonts on printer
Same thing happens in firefox. Sometimes I open a word doc in abiword and get a similar issue, the solution is to select all and change the font to Bitstream or something open-source, I suspect the issues may be similar, but I have no idea how to get micro$oft fonts into bsd, or how to change opera/firefox's font. could be totally unrelated too. it's been around a long time, must be an issue no one else has - did you build operta from ports or download the package? Maybe some magic needs to go in /etc/make.conf - that's the only way half the ports will work with cups at all; doesn't fix firefox, however. Good luck with that. There are certain things FreeBSD is bad at fixing, and they all relate to the desktop. Had to put Fedora on my notebooks so I could sleep them reliably. Still use BSD when I can though (desktops, servers).

But if it's blocked, it doesn't get run, and if it doesn't run, it doesn't consume 100% of your cpu. I find it's usually advertisements anyway. If you really need to watch a youtube, you click the noscript icon and unblock it, then when you're done, you execute killall npviewer.bin. That's the best solution I've found yet, and it bites, just like flash bites, and gnash bites, all in their own extra special way.

(sorry, can't recall the beginning of this thread). Apparently, but only in single-user mode. I think my problem is more one of documentation. The handbook is rather obtuse on the subject. The inability to even locate or read the labels on a mounted system is about as un-POLS as I've come across lately Thanks for the help, though. I booted single-user, mounted a usb-stick, and piped the output of geom label to a file on the stick. Not fun. Only having run FBSD for 4 years or so now, I wasn't aware of any good sources for this kind of info except dmesg. I'll be looking into /var/log/messages more closely in the future. You don't see it mentioned too often in reference to noob questions.

Re: tunefs -L issue
Wait a second. What do I have to do, mount single user to find the darn things? They have completely disappeared, not even a 'GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/482b3a7c20b36d8c removed' in dmesg! (thought I was previously seeing that on shutdown, not startup, now neither) Even in single user mode, root is already mounted, so I'm never going to find the label for it.

tunefs -L issue
I'm seeing this in my dmesg: GEOM: ad0s1: geometry does not match label (255h,63s != 16h,63s). I'm guessing I screwed up tunefs -L, but it sure looked straightforward. Anyway, my /dev/ufs is empty, and I kind of thought there should be stuff in it. I called tunefs -L from single-user mode, so usr, var, and tmp should have been unmounted as per instructions. If I start playing with the "geomerty", am I going to wipe my system inadvertently? Also, I kind of think the ufsid is really what I'm looking for, and /dev/ufsid is empty too! Isn't this the class of things that should "just work"? I mean, the disk is pretty fundamental. I swap disks in and out alot, and I've got one of those motherboards that likes to reorder them, making booting reliably under 8-RELEASE a real pain in the neck...

I tried running "sudo cvsnt authserver" from a shell after disabling inetd, but it never appeared to listen to the port, it took it's input from stdin, detected an absence of a vlid cvs client when I hit enter, and exited normally. All this is hopefully moot. Largely due to cvsnt's move towards more commercial interference (default win clients now have a yahoo-like tag in each commit string, etc.), and a total lack of any response on the cvsnt mailing list, if I can get cvs2svn to dump a git fast-import file (like it supposedly can), I'm gonna have my source trees on bazaar by monday (famous last words).

cvsnt (server) crashes on all operations after portupgrade
Hi all, Did a routine portupgrade the other day. Looks like cvsnt's server is now crashing on all operations (login, update, etc). I'm getting a blah blah pid xyx(cvsnt) coredumped in my /var/log/messages file. Due to the low traffic on the cvsnt list these days, I assume this is a FreeBSD issue, not a cvsnt issue - no one else seems to be down. Anyone have any ideas? I sent a bunch of client-side info to the cvsnt list, below, but the long & short of it is that cvsnt goes down hard right after inetd launches it. Can't find much server side info other than the coredump notification in /var/log/messages. I've got 8-release sources csup'd, I'm going to do an installworld in case something got out of sync. I'm grabbing at straws here, obviously. No cvsnt, I'm out of business until it's fixed. Maybe this will finally get me to move to subversion...

rpm trashed my system with linux so's
Yeah, I admit it, was really stupid of me to try. All those linux ports go willy-nilly running rpm's thru your system, so when linux-flash-plugin-f10 crashed after install, I just *had* to hunt down it's dependancies and try installing them. Main thing is that portupgrade -f gamin is *not* putting fresh bsd copies overtop the bad linux ones I stupidly installed, and anything with gtk is now useless (shared object 'libselinux.so.1" not found, required by "libgio-2.0.so.0"), which is pretty much everything. Short of reinstalling everything from CD, do I have options? Bugger.

Why they decided to add all this crap as a dependency to X is completely beyond me.

adding disk moves ad0 to ad4

As someone pointed out, I'm talking about label, here, not fdisk, and partitions, not slices (had those two backwards in my head). Basically, as far as I can tell, on a running system, there is no combination of keystrokes in sysinstall's label editor that will create an "ad[1-9]s1a", except the 'a' key which produces a 512M s1a. All other keystrokes (namely 'c') go straight to "ad[1-9]s1d" when a second disk is placed in a system booted from ad0s1a. I'm just trying to make a fresh disk ready for dump/restore with a 1G /, so I guess sysinstall is out as an option at this time.

ad0 mountable after sysinstall, but invalid from boot mgr / mbr (7.2-R)
Just did an install on a disk. Never seen this before, but I made my own partitions instead of 'a' for automatic, and they came up as ad0s1c-g, instead of ad0s1a-e. Sysinstall (7.2 release) seemed to progress & complete just fine. When I try to boot the disk, I get "invalid partition", then "boot: 0:(ad,0)/boot/kernel/kernel", etc...I've tried every permutation I can think of on adXs1Y/boot/kernel/kernel at this prompt - it's wedged tight. So, I jump back to the liveFS disk, thinking sysinstall zorked the disk, but I can mount the disk (ad0s1d) just fine, and see the contents of /mnt/boot/kernel and see /mnt/boot/loader* (never seen a file with a * in the name, but the one on /boot has a * after loader too).

bridge wlan and tap
I know everyone's busy with the release. This is not a showstopper, but it relates to networking, which is pretty central to a working bsd box... I read in some obscure post that I can't bridge from a wlan to tap because the wlan can only handle one MAC? Kindof thought every card has only one mac. No idea if this related to 6.x or something earlier, or current...of course I can't find the post again, either, but it was just a mention in some other howto. Anyway, I can't get an address on bridge0. rc.conf: cloned_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_interfaces="bridge0" # autoconfigure these bridges autobridge_bridge0="tap* wlan0" ifconfig_bridge0="DHCP" After I boot, no address on bridge0, and dhclient bridge0 just times out...sortof thought I was following the handbook & man tap, but again, I have a 7.2 box on a wired network that this basic operation works on, so I'm suspecting wlan does break bridging...

I'm displeased with my Lenovo S10. On the upside, all the hardware worked on 7.2 out of the box, after I swapped the internal broadcom wifi for a highpower atheros. The ACPI is a real nightmare on it, however. dmesg is constantly full of acpi barfs, and it hangs on shutdown, and won't suspend, which is pretty much a requirement for a notebook at my house.

Figured out I had to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib before the make command and then it worked fine. Don't know if I fubarred my system, or if that's expected behavior, but the problem was that building libgcc (soft floating point routines) couldn't find libmpfr ... the opensolaris people report this issue all over google, with many gcc versions.

'bwi' module question
Anyone have experience building if_bwi (broadcom 43x)? Found a tgz on a freesd.org site, so I presume it's legit, but it's a bit short on instructions, and I get a "object directory not changed from origonal /mnt/flash/bwi.01/ @-> /usr/src/sys" warning, and an "ln: @: Operation not supported" error, so I assume this goes in src somewhere, but does dev, or modules? There's not even a readme file for it, and all I found was a link, not the origonal site (which just seems to be an anutomated repository). I'm a little worried, if I stick it in modules, it's top-level makefile will overwite the one in modules, so should I merge it in? Obviously a bit past my abilities, but I'm willing to play...

ifconfig ndis0 up scan doesn't find my ap
Hi, I get this behavior on 2 completely different laptops, one on 7.0-release, and the other on 7-stable. ndio0 [broadcom :( ] comes right up in dmesg, and ifconfig(), but it won't find any AP's - is this known? - because I can google people with lots of different ndis0 problems (mostly on 5.x and 6.x), but not this particular one...I seem some warning about not supporting AP's in the handbook for ndis, but it seems to be under the 'build your own AP from freebsd and a nic section', so I'm hoping it doesn't apply, cause my shiny new lenovo s10e has a really ugly looking broadcom slot, not minipci. Must be something new like micro pci, but at any rate, I would prefer not to have to hack my bios to get it to boot with a non-broadcom nic in it anyways. ndisgen has always been an acceptable, if distasteful, solution in past days.

flex from ports kills buildworld?

qemu only talks to network on second boot
Got win2k on qemu for a couple years now. Funny thing is, it never sees the network or the samba shares on my host the second time I "boot" qemu on any given day. First time always times out. I get no console output. My win2k.sh file looks something like this. All the tap entries since my system seems to have some issue with naming tap. Maybe that's the issue, but I'll be darned if I could fix it. tap0 and nothing else would be just fine with me.

Ok, check, I get it - "be patient, and we're fixing the usb stack, already". I was just looking for a solution for *this* week. I've ran current before, but given all the traffic and arguing over usb2 lately, I'm sure not going to install it just to get the card reader going on my *work* desktop, I might as well take a couple days off. Again, not being critical, I just don't like the answers that say, well, obviously, everyone has 10 hours to tweak their system instead of spending $9 on a new reader that works with the old stack. Buying hardware that works has always been a legitimate option - just look at all the people asking about laptops, motherboards, and even NICs. I have personally found very few card readers that reliably detect a card, then allow you to mount and use it on 7.1 without a freeze, or a crash on mount or *after* or *during* unmount (I'm not a reformed ubuntu user, I don't just rip the card out and expect it to work). More typically, however, they just never show a card inserted. I'm going to have to try the "write 0 bytes" trick mentioned, maybe that looks like it will take me from 75% dead readers to 75% working readers. Several of my working readers under 6.3 quit under 7.x. The only brand that I've found to be a slam dunk is "i-rocks" and they don't make an internal. The guys working on usb2 should get a donation of about 50 cases of beer a piece when this is over - anyone want to start a pool?

best way to debug intermittent system freezes?
I've got me a laptop with a very clean, updated 7.1 (stable) install. Started at 7.0. Only problem is about every 2-4 hours it locks up solid - no disk, no keyboard, console frozen (not running X yet, although it's installed and does boot from startx). How do I even go about poking into this? It's my very last M$ win32 system, and in my opinion, win32 needs to go away, so I have a considerable psychological investment in seeing this thru. Obviously, no lockups or any other weird behavior when running win32. I thought it might be thermal, but the system has never overheated before, and I did crank up powerd without effect.

I'm not surprised, just curious if there's actually a tweak, or if the pcbsd guys haven't moved the patch upstream. I find kde so annoying that I put 7-stable back on the machine, and my onboard lan disappeared again...

Re: FreeBSD 7.0 installation problems.Please help!
> "Write failure on transfer! > (wrote -1 bytes of 1425408 bytes)" > "Unable to transfer the GENERIC distribution from acd0" I'm a bit of a n00b too. There's a whole host of things that have given me that issue - bad cd drive, scratched disk, etc. More importantly, I've seen sysinstall never actually format the disk, so then it can't write to it. The way I fixed it is by hitting "w" (write) before "q" (quit) in both the fdisk and partition pages of sysinstall. I've seen this behavior on both 6.2 and 7.0, and I've never paid enough attention to repeat it or figure out what I did wrong - I just use the write command manually and things seem happier. Make sure you see a box pop up on the partition/label page when you hit write that mentions something about "doing newfs ", otherwise just start over. I think that's the magic step.

any supported NTSC-output cards?
I'm just curious. My friend set up one of those TIVO clones with ubuntu. I'm really not into the fancy/pretty dressing, but hooking up the 'ol freebsd server to the TV would be kind of nifty in the bling department.

kill -KILL fails to kill process
Which I thought was impossible. Neophyte question, no doubt, but googling was less than helpful (which probably means I'm fubar, no doubt). Anyway, I have a certain common X app (xmms) that likes to hang (since my last buildworld, it seems) when when it's right about to open a file-choosing dialog. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot. Now, given the behavior, I'd have to suspect something underlying as the true source of the problem, but shouldn't kill kill it anyway - I mean, isn't there some way to kill a process that's stuck waiting on a child process? I haven't figured out how to "ps -ax grep | some neublous file dialog process" yet...so I'm sort of stuck wanting to kill the parent...

32-bit fbsd binaries on amd64 (we can already run 32bit linux/fc4 stuff, so this should work, right?)
I've been reading the wine64 wiki. I've also seen some of myself & other's questions in this general direction (not wine specifically, but anything 64 vs 32) go by. Near as I can tell, the big hangup is having 32-bit libs (i.e for X) hanging around on your system. Now, I'm sure, as usual, I'm being naive, but: 1) We can run 32-bit linux on amd64, so do we have 32-bit freebsd libs already? 2) If we don't have the 32-bit libs, is it possible to steal them directly from the corresponding i386 freebsd (as long as we haven't rebuilt our kernel too many times), or should we in all cases be building them (is there a wiki? I'm sure setting the CFLAGS for 32-bit (saw that somewhere) and buildworld is not the right way, unless we manually copy things). 3) Once we have all the libs set up, how does one spoof a port (i.e. linux/fc4-base or, in my case, wine) into building 64-bit? I guess fc4 is easy because it's pretty much a binary download, right, which is not going to be the case for wine, unless maybe we use the pkg.tgz (if we can do that, how would one force a 32-bit pkg to install on amd64?) It sure seems like there's a path to this coming soon. It's not just a matter of wine, I'd like eventually to run matlab64 (which is, of course, in the opposite direction), and I note people working on linuxulator64... In the meantime, I'm going to attempt to get wine going in my fc4 emu, but since I'm a FBSD snob, I consider that a very ugly hack...having to run my FPGA compilers and Matlab in fc4 is insulting enough ;) I was so bloody impressed by the performance difference between wine & kqemu on fedora, however, that I am compelled to try (darn CAD vendors).
