Makefile correction?
Hello All,
I am trying to install gnuchess but when I start the build process it
errors out as follows.
tardis# make install clean

=== Found saved configuration for gnuchess-5.07
=== Extracting for gnuchess-5.07

From what I make of this it looks like there is an extra / in the path

I am trying to correct the Makefile, I figure this is where it would be,
and cannot figure out what to change to correct this.
Can anyone help?

Hello, I attempted to install the port and recieved the same error as
you. The current makefile does not grab the gnuchess.tar.gz, whenever
WITH_OPENING_BOOK is specified, because EXTRACT_ONLY is misplaced
underneathe of that section. Comment out that EXTRACT_ONLY line and
underneathe the MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR line add the following two lines:
DISTFILES= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
EXTRACT_ONLY= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
I suppose someone should submit a patch for this...

Thanks Aaron,
That did the trick.
Questions however.
The DISTFILES= statement you added is obviously different from the
DISTFILES+= in the (WITH_OPENING_BOOK) section.
Does the + symbol just mean in addition to the main file?
I am guessing if I am correct in the + comment above that an
'EXTRACT_ONLY statement is not needed because it is an additional file
to the main?
Looking at another Makefile, the gcompris2 one to be exact, I do not see
an EXTRACT_ONLY line. I looked at two others and they also do not have
an EXTRACT_ONLY line.
This statement is only needed in certain circumstances, or there is more
then one way to do the same thing?
Thanks
Sean

I want to double my memory when I get the chance. I am running 6.0-Current however. So far so good. Things have been solid, finally. Had some growing pains at first but things have settled the past few days. It has been a combination of my playing, and dealing with the AMD64 platform versus i386, and I am running in 64 bit mode, not 32 bit. Good points. Real fast, no delays on anything. Compile times for ports or even kernel builds is very quick, in fact impressive. Bad points. Compatibility. Many ports, such as openoffice and java are currently not working on this platform, and I am sure there are others. Currently trying out Koffice for the first time in a very long while and it runs great. Note, Abiword having intermittent problems running on this platform, at least for me. I am using KDE as my desktop. Tried pulling out my Linux version of Railroad Tycoon 2 from Loki software just a short time ago. So far not much luck, but to be fair I have not had much time to troubleshoot. Time is always a problem for me. But all I can think of is an i386 game designed for Linux and trying to run it on an amd64 FreeBSD 6.0 system. Sounds like a hurdle.

This is typical of what sysinstall writes if a CD/DVD is found during
installation:
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
The line isn't necessary, but it makes mounting optical media as simple
as sudo mount /cdrom and sudo umount /cdrom assuming your filesystem
is ISO-9660.
FreeBSD CD/DVD support isn't as user friendly as Irix or MacOS. Maybe
someone would like to create an Irix-like mediad to monitor the
attaching and removing of media, and to act appropriately on those
events? Haven't looked lately but possibly KDE and/or Gnome does this?
The Irix mediad daemon I so fondly remember launched appropriate
non-kernel userspace helpers as filesystem drivers. At least in the past
it was too easy to create a corrupt 9660 disc which panics the 9660
kernel driver. A crashed user process isn't as critical. And its not as
if any significant performance increase can be had with the code in the
kernel.
And then while I'm wishful thinking, a mediad should control whether the
new disk (media) is to be privately mounted (say, in someone's
${HOME}/mount/), or publicly for everyone, added to webserver space,
NFS, and/or SMB exports.
Thanks, that is what I had done, but was wondering if I had to do
anything different for a DVD.
I recall that a region code also has to be set?

ftp problem
I have my bsd system setup to allow ftp. However when I try to ftp a directory and the contents from another system it basically uses the directory as a file name and all contents in that directory are ignored. I am guessing that I am doing something wrong when I type to get the directory and files, and not a system setup. Any advice?

Adobe Linux Flash
Hello All, I am trying to get the Adobe Linux Flash working with Firefox. I have followed the directions in the browser handbook section. -kldstat shows linux.ko, and linprocfs.ko. -df lists linprocfs mounted on /compat/linux/proc I created the symlink from libflashplayer.so to the browser_plugins location, and the symlink is listed. Doing some searching on the problem I came across a mention that the /compat directory needs to be symlinked to /usr/compat so I added that in. I ran the nspluginwrapper command it searches the correct directories but does complain of ELF interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2 not found several times. The IceadTea-Web Plugin and the Swfdec plugin is listed in Firefox's About:Plugins page. In fact I can see the swfdec-plugin alongside the libflashplayer.so and the npwrapper.libflashplayer.so in the /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins directory. The system itself, a fresh install of FreeBSD 9 amd64. Might it be the 64 bit would be causing problems?

Re: USB Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision (mic problem SOLVED)
I just managed to get the mic working built into the camera.
I followed the Sound steps below that are included in pkg-message and
that did the trick.
Hopefully these notes will help others having mic problems with the
Logitech camera.
NOTE: Just before I followed the below steps I did recompile my kernel
to include snd_hda support.
After I finished that task I did try Skype and it did not work.
I mention this just in case if someone is troubleshooting such a problem
and snd_hda might be needed.
Thanks to all the helped,
Sean
2. Sound
Since the OSS interface was removed, Skype now uses linux-alsa compat
packages.
By default you get one device corresponding to your default OSS dsp
device (so
Skype will use it for ringing, incoming voice and mic). If that doesn't suit
needs, you can map the other dsp devices for example by editing
/compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf. You need to (re)start Skype
after you
edit this file in order to get Skype pick up the changes.
Adding the following to the stock file, and then starting Skype and choosing
in Options--Sound Devices: Speakers: oss1
will let you use the second dsp (usually the front panel connectors for your
headphones, while still hearing the call ringing and other notification
on the
first dsp device (presumably the one you connect your speakers to).

Through Fitit, fdisk shows partions 1,2,and 3 unused, and Freebsd sitting in 4. bsdlabel shows on /dev/ad0s1 the six partitions, a, b, c, d, e, f Sysinstall, from the boot cd, shows the following disk name: ad0 and freebsd on ad0s1 disklabel shows ad0s1a, ad0s1d, ad0s1b, ad0s1e, ad0s1f, none of these partitions currently show a mount point, with the exception of b, which is swap. so now am even more puzzled by no mount showing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: boot problem (stage 2 boot?)
Hi guys, Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful suggestions. Played with things and got into the geometry idea as the possible cause. Did some more work, adjusting bios and geometry settings around the disk and just a few minutes ago after yet another go at installing the laptop just booted up! I in fact looked twice to make sure it booted on its own and not with the cd installed, it was not completely inserted and I still pulled the disk out completely to convince myself. What I finally did was to do a fdisk during a FixIT session and marked down the settings. The laptop bios would not take all six digits of the cylinders, so I entered five of them, adjusted the heads, and when setting up the disk during the install of FreeBSD set the geometry of the disk to match what fdisk reported and that seemed to do the trick. It is an older laptop so I guess that it was not designed with a 60G hard drive in mind. The previous drive was only 6G. Big difference. Again, the laptop has booted, and is currently doing some compiling. Hopefully the rest will go without problems, the laptop ran fine with the 6G drive so I am not expecting any other problems. The only real annoying part is that it is a real pain to find detailed info on this western digital drive, Thanks again, Sean ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can upgrade or downgrade from one version to other provided the platform remains constant. But upgrading from one patform to other involves buying and assembling physically different hardware holding different copies of OS. Thanks S. But the AMD hardware, for example I have a dual Opteron, can run in 64(amd64) or 32(i386) bit mode. So could you upgrade i386 to amd64 on such a system?

Loki Linux Games on FreeBSD
I have several of the games produced by Loki, which I would like to get running on FreeBSD. Of the several I have the ones in particular I would be most interested in getting to work are Sim City 3000, Railroad Tycoon II, and Civ: Call To Power. Does anyone have experience with these games getting them to run? Or more so, any web sites that have some detailed info. Searches come up with a lot of references, but nothing in detail.

Gentoo and FreeBSD
I came across the Gentoo/FreeBSD project at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-freebsd.xml A description states What is Gentoo/FreeBSD? Gentoo/FreeBSD is an effort to provide a fully-capable FreeBSD operating system with Gentoo's design sensibilities. The long-term goal of the Gentoo/BSD project is to allow users to choose any combination of *BSD or Linux kernels, *BSD or GNU libc, and *BSD or GNU userland tools. What exactly does this gain a user? Use of both Linux and FreeBSD fully, partially, some sort of mutant creature? FreeBSD is a complete from top to bottom, so again, what does this combo do for a user? Would this gain something else instead of having linux support enabled?

Re: Can't remove or move file
No switch with either the rm or mv command works. What is actually going on here? From the man page: NOTES The rm command uses getopt(3) to parse its arguments, which allows it to accept the `--' option which will cause it to stop processing flag options at that point. This will allow the removal of file names that begin with a dash (`-').

Fix
Adding -linotify to LD_FLAGS in the Makefile fixes the problem.
Just add the text -linotify to the LD_FLAGS variable defined
in the Makefile. It's /usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker/Makefile
in line 40. However, the name of the variable is LDFLAGS (no
underscore). I have v 1.171 of this file here, port version is
0.95.2 rev. 4 -- just for reference.
Original line:
LDFLAGS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib
To be changed into:
LDFLAGS+= -L${LOCALBASE}/lib -linotify
Then try to build WindowMaker again.

That did the trick, thanks.
I wonder why the bug was closed as unable to be reproduced.

problem installing 4.10, boot hangs after PLIP0
Help! (please...) I am having a problem getting FreeBSD 4.10 installed on my machine. Strangely, I have two almost identical boxes, and the problem exhibits itself on one but not the other. Any help as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. I have googled, searched list archives and poured over the handbook multiple times, and the only error report I can find that comes close (link below) does not seem to have been resolved... Synopsis: ASUS P2B motherboard, PII-350, 256 Meg RAM, 8 Gig UDMA33 IDE drive and ATAPI IDE CDROM, and 3COM 3c905 NIC. Booting from the 4.10 CDROM, I am able to get into the kernel config and play with what drivers get installed, but nothing I do there seems to help alleviate what happens next. After exiting that, it starts to boot, but stops at the PLIP0 line and hangs indefinately. This list poster, although apparently using different hardware and installing a different version of FreeBSD, seems to be having the exact same issue, although the mailing list does not seem to have provided him with an answer. Link: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-config/2003-June/07.h tml http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-config/2003-June/07. html Detail: Failing at the PLIP line led me to believe that perhaps (for what reason I cant imagine) there might be a problem with the parallel port or parallel driver, so disabling that driver in the kernel config, it then starts to boot but stops and hangs after probing/config-ing the serial ports (just like the poster above). In answer to the question at the end of his post, according to the handbook's example boot, the next thing in the boot sequence would seem to be probing for hard drives. So then I am thinking that there is something wrong with the drive or controller or the kernel probing for same. However, I am 99% sure that this drive and controller are working fine, as this hard drive currently boots just fine into Redhat 9 (which I am trying to replace). I can also successfully boot this machine via CDROM into any of a host of other liveCD distros such as Knoppix, SentryCD, Phlak, Smoothwall, etc. with no problems whatsoever (I realize that these are all linux kernel distros, so not a totally fair comparison...). So but the upshot is that this box does not seem to have any hardware issues that prevent it from booting to anything (via CDROM or hard drive) besides FreeBSD. What is extra strange is that I also have a nearly identical box (only difference is 128 Meg RAM instead of 256, and 3 x 3COM 3c905 NICs instead of just one, otherwise, completely identical hardware), which seems to work perfectly. It boots from the FreeBSD CDROM (same disc), I dont even have to change or disable a single thing in the kernel config, and it successfully boots, proceeds into sysinstall, and allows me to go through the complete install process with no problems at all. I cant imagine what is different between these two boxes and they have never exhibited any hardware problems before. So can anyone tell me what might be going on here, or what I might try next to troubleshoot it? Any help or pointers would be appreciated. If other logs or hardware info is required just ask, I will be glad to provide. This hardware is all relatively old (I mean old as in well-supported, not old as in crusty), so I wouldnt think there should be issues with unsupported, bleeding-edge craziness. And the fact that two nearly identical hardware configs are sporting different behavior would seem to indicate an actual hardware failure on the part of the one that doesnt work, but as I said, this box doesnt seem to have any problems booting other OS's, so I am confused. I will disclaim in advance that, as with almost all computer problems, the issue is probably me doing something stupid or forgetting something. Please reply via the list and/or my email address below. Thanks!

Problems trying to boot from an 80GB Seagate
I'm trying to get my first FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE) installation working, and I am having trouble getting a system which boots, primarily due to what appear to be disk geometry issues (but this is a complete newbie guess). The hardware: Gigabyte GA-6BXC motherboard http://tw.giga-byte.com/motherboard/products/products_ga-6bxc.htm (BIOS V.F4c http://tw.giga-byte.com/motherboard/support/bios/BIOS_GA-6BXC.htm) Celeron 366 448 MB RAM Seagate ST380011A 80GB HDD http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/marketing/detail/0,1081,581,00.html Mitsumi CD-ROM FX320S Delta CD-Writer No FDD AcerLAN ALN-325 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter (Realtek 8139 chipset) Creative Soundblaster SB16 CT2960 ISA sound card Diamond Viper 330 AGP HP 4033B monitor My first attempt at installing FreeBSD (using the bootable CDROM images for 4.8-RELEASE) was rewarded with Missing Operating System on next boot. FreeBSD guesses the geometry as being 155061/16/63, which it then discards as incorrect (the first time through the install I accepted its assumed geometry of 9729/255/63). The BIOS CMOS is configured to Auto detect the drives on boot, if I change it to User it defaults to 38307/16/255 - but sysinstall/fdisk rejects this geometry outright. Next, I created a NTFS partition on the drive with an XP install CD, and then booted from the FreeBSD install CDs with -v, and got the following output: BIOS Geometries: 0:03fe0f3f 0..1022=1023 cylinders, 0..15=16 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 0 accounted for Device configuration finished ... Creating DISK ad0 ar: FreeBSD check1 failed ad0: ST380011A/3.06 ATA-6 disk at ata0-master ad0: 76319MB (156301488 sectors), 155061 C, 16H, 63S, 512B ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=5 cblid=1 ata1-master: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=4 dmaflag=1 ata1-master: success setting PIO4 on generic chip So I tried installing with 1023/16/63. Still the Missing Operating System error. Out of other ideas, I resorted to Dangerous Dedicated, which at least gave a different error: No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: No /kernel A bit of googling suggested 0:ad(0,c)/kernel as an alternative boot command, but it had no greater success for my case. So other suggestions would be appreciated! As my plan is to use the machine as a dedicated server, Dangeously Dedicated is not an issue for me, as long this won't be a problem for future FreeBSD releases...? It's also worth noting that I upgraded the BIOS to v.F4c as the system would not boot with the ST380011A connected (BIOS hung trying to display the drive size). Interestingly the release notes state Support 75GB HDD, rather than 75GB+... Particularly since the FreeBSD sysinstall partitioning/slice tool reports the drive size as 76319MB (less than 75GB), even though it is meant to be an 80GB drive. BTW, when installing/configuring XFree86 I selected nv RIVA 128 as my video card, as this seemed the closest to the Viper 330 (given I understand it uses the Riva 128 chipset). Is this the right selection? If I try and run the graphical X-windows configuration tool it fails, so I set the above through the curses interface...

Re: How DBA solved overload problem ?
As a newly DBA, I really don't know how I deal with this problem. My problem is not so long ago, my database server seem to overloaded. It take me a time to find the cause of problem. I realize that some program don't queried wiht inappropriated SQL statement. I mean they're not efficient one. AS DBA how do you solved this problem? In PostgreSQL, I flip on the following settings and then periodically scan PostgreSQL's the log file (/var/log/pgsql): log_duration = true log_pid = true log_statement = true log_timestamp = true It's tedious, but with grep on your side, it's not an impossible task or even a super hard one... just a bit tedious if you don't keep up with your developers. I've found doing this on the devel machines produces better bang for the buck than on the production DB's (though I still do it there occasionally). Once a query is found, I typically launch a big 'ole fashion egrep -r with a reasonably unique part of the query and am normally pretty successful in finding the culprit. Sometimes you'll have to use sockstat to find what machine and what PID you're dealing with, but that's something I have to do rarely. -sc PS Don't spam so many lists in the future, just -databases or just -questions would've been sufficient (the more topical the list the better). -- Sean Chittenden ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
