4.9-RELEASE Xorg switch question
hello all, i switched from XFree86 to X.org on my 4.9-RELEASE system, using the instructions in UPDATING. i had to do one extra things, before i could finish the Xorg install: i had to force upgrade of mesa-4 to mesa-6 (under new name, which i forget). i also edited make.conf and changed X_WINDOW_SYSTEM. now, after the switch, i have the same problem with 'pkgdb -F', reported in: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-November/063409.html kris kennaway responded to that question with the below: -- On Wed, Nov 03, 2004 at 08:10:51PM -0500, Ralph M.

Er, read the rest of the advice ;-) Hint: the 20040723 entry. -- i looked at the 20040723 entry again, but there is nothing more to do (in my case) listed there. also 20040723 gives instructions for 5.x, FreeBSD-current, -stable and older -current, but doesn't explicitly mention -release (which is what i run). to restate, my problem is that 'pkgdb -F' now reports many stale dependencies on imake-4 and XFree86*. (i could probably run 'pkgdb ... -s /imake-4/imake-6/ ...' to fix the image-4 issue, though i am not sure even that's the right fix. that still leaves me with the XFree86 dependencies). i am sure i am missing something obvious, but having searched the archives, i haven't found the fix. any advice? thank you! --ravi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are running 4.9, which was a release from the -STABLE branch. Just follow the advice that entry gives for -stable and you'll be fine. lowell, thanks for the response. greatly appreciated -- i was afraid my post would be buried by the archive copyright debate ;-). w.r.t your advice: i did follow the instructions in UPDATING. i am sure i am missing something obvious. here's the entry: 20040723: AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of xorg AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to xorg, xfree86-4, or xfree86-3. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM defaults to xorg on FreeBSD-current. If you are switching to xorg, you should follow this set of commands to cleanly upgrade: pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-* cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg make install pkgdb -F Users of -stable or older -current can switch to X.Org by setting X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process. Alternately, FreeBSD 5.x and later users can use portupgrade with packages: cd /var/db/pkg rest deleted since 5.x instructions not applicable i did the pkg_delete -f, xorg make install and ran pkgdb -F. i also set X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in /etc/make.conf. i still get errors from portupgrade, etc., regarding stale dependencies on imake-4 and various XFree86 ports. --ravi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Stupid question, but you did run these as root? I followed this same procedure and remember no hitches. Even upgraded gnome as well, and everything came back working. Clutching at straws, have you cvsup-ed your ports? Does pkgdb -F run cleanly? Does pkg_info show anything unexpected as being installed (such as imake or XFree)? yes: ran as root, cvsup'ed ports. pkgdb -F reports a whole host of stale dependencies on XFree86* and imake-4. pkg_info shows nothing but imake-6.8.2 (and the only xfree86 related package shown is warpper-1.0_3). thanks for the response! --ravi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Good software for reading mail groups is important if you're going to try to follow lists like this... oh definitely. i wasn't reading it either, but was afraid what other readers where seeing... Hmm. Are you sure that you deleted the imake ports before building X.Org? You shouldn't have stale imake dependencies from X.Org if you rebuilt both. And the stale dependencies from other X ports should get fixed up by pkgdb -F (which *will* require you to redirect the dependencies, of course). w.r.t your last point, are you saying then that i have to: pkgdb ... -s /imake-4.../imake-6.../ pkgdb ... -s /XFree86-libraries-.../xorg-libraries-.../ etc or run 'pkgdb -F' and delete all the stale dependencies?

But if you really deleted all of the imake ports before building x.org, you wouldn't have incorrect dependencies in the first place. unfortunately, 'pkgdb -F' does not suggest the redirections. perhaps, as you seem to suspect ;-), i messed up (or plain forgot) the deletion of the imake ports. now that i am in the state i am in, would you consider it safe to run 'pkgdb -F' (or -s) and provide the xorg equivalents as replacements for the XFree86 ports? thank you, --ravi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cannot find label and other woes with a 3ware raid5
hi. i have a 3ware 7410 with 4 250G disk in a raid5 config. at one point i lost a disk and for some reason the system kernel paniced and rebooted. not knowing that the array had gone to a degraded state i did a fsck and began correcting errors that it found. after noticing a lot of unrecoverable files i aborted the fsck where i later learned of the condition of the array. i copied over some important data and left the array unmounted till i was able to replace the failed disk. once the disk was swapped out i had the 3ware card rebuild the array. it was after this that it seems that the disklabel and other related filesystem information has disappeared. there were no errors on the rebuild and as best i can tell the data should be there but i'm not sure of how to access it, if at all conventionally. i'm running 4.8 using the twe kernel module. anyone have any suggestions on how to move forward or am i looking at sending all the disk to a data recovery company? thanks, -r ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

System hangs for 30 minutes before booting normally into freebsd 6.0
Hello, I am a new convert to freebsd 6.0. I installed it on one of my old machine - a celeron 333 MHz, 98 MB RAM, with ISA slots. While installing it on my system, I faced a problem that it took a long time to load the freebsd installer menu. So I rebooted and selected the FreeBSD installation in verbose mode. This is the verbose output snippet I recieved: ... pci0: bridge at device 73 (no drivers attached) pci0: display, VGA at device 16.0 (no driver attached) ex_isa_identify() ata: ata0 already exists; skipping it ata: ata1 already exists; skipping it pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 203 pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 243 pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 283 pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 2c3 pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 303 pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 343 pnp_identify: Trying Read_Port at 383 ... The problem is the last 8 lines above. It is I believe scanning some ports and is taking such a long time. After this the normal booting is quite fast. Is there any way I can disable this process of scanning that is taking place? After installing freebsd, each time I boot into it, it hangs for 30 minutes at the code snippet above. My uname -a command gave the following output.

Hello all,
It seems like no matter which site I try, I get a message that

So I guess I've got two questions:
1) Where are the ISOs really?
2) Why is the website wrong?
