Works like a charm. Have been doing it ever since. Also, it keeps the package database ( /var/db/pkg ) and the optional port directories in sync. Very nifty. And there is no need for tedious use of "make deinstall" or "make clean" ( the horror! ). Furthermore the method is true to the Unix-philosophy of KISS: all of this package management sjizzle is pure futuristic bloatware that keeps you away from what Unix truely stands for.

Dear Wee-Sern, when i upgraded my 4.11 workstation, i did a clean install from CD to a new HD. when i will be upgrading my 4.11 server to 6.x, i will probably run a 6.x alongside the 4.11, installing all software as needed, test it, then transfer data from 4.11 disk to the 6.x. then test again, and swap the 6.x harddisk into the server. i will probably keep the 4.11 harddisk as a backup. i would not upgrade to 6.x if i were you, if there is no specific reason. i would keep my 4.x updated though ( so i suggest you update to 4.11, just for security ). regards, usleep On 3/29/06, Wee-Sern Soo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I saw your post and wanted to ask you about your experience with > upgrading FreeBSD 4.x to a new release. > > I have a couple of FreeBSD 4.6.2 servers and am looking to upgrade it to > the latest stable release. > > In your opinion, what is the best way to upgrade to the latest 4.x release? > > What were the traps and pitfalls wrt to doing in place upgrades? > > Will things break? > > Regards, > Wee-Sern > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote the following on 29/03/2006 7:05 PM: > > Joseph, > > > > > >> I notice a lot of references to version 4.x.

( or is bsdconsulting.no you?, then all bets are off ) i don't know why i am doing this. i have a very hard time understanding your brutality towards people who obviously have tried very hard to help you. and then you go on and ask stooopid (dvd) questions on the list, which aren't even remotely connected to freebsd. questions which show you obviously don't know what you are talking about. i respect those who continue to support, disregarding history or person. respect. could some fellow norwegian talk some sense into this guy? you guys must be ashamed, right?

Re: terrible performance in 6.1beta4
Miguel, > 3.0G i looked at your top-screenshot, i have the impression you could dedicate far more memory to postgresql. maybe it would be usefull to post your postgresql.conf ( this is in fact a postgresql question, but i don't care ). you might want to turn fsync off, my limited knowledge about this switch tells me it is only important in case of powerfailures. you want to give postgresql as much memory as it needs, cause else it will underperform heavily. this might be one of the reasons it is not catching on as quick as i would like. postgresql is the best in OSS though. bring on your .conf! regards, usleep ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Miguel, you have not yet confirmed the two postgresql.conf-files(gentoo vs fbsd) to be identical ( or i missed that ). please let me know. another issue pops to my mind: on 4.x i had to tweak some sysctl's regarding shared-memory ( default settings would not allow PGSQL to claim as much as i would like ). i don't know if this still needs to be done on 6.x. if i recall correctly, postgresql would not start if it could not allocate it's shared buffers. things may have changed: check you postgresql.log to see if it is complaining. please let us know if you achieved any speed update at all. regards, usleep > > --- > Miguel > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: C Program to execute programs in same console
Jon,
i believe you are mixing up some concepts.
1. if i read your title "C Program to execute programs in same
console". i think this is easy, just use system("ls *.txt") and you
are done. i believe you can choose wat to do with the output, i am not
sure.
2. but you come up with the cd-command, which you want to change the
context of your parent shell. changing the home-dir of the current
process ( your program ) can be done with chdir. altering the context
of your parent-shell-process can not be done, except for setting
environment variables ( through the proper C calls )
but if you are running your program, your "shell" (interpreter) is
temporarily not there: your program is running the show. every
system,execvp or whatever call will give you a child-process with a
new shell, not the parent-shell-process. i believe you may set
environment variables in your parent shell with the appropiate library
calls, but not through a system/execvp call.
so, maybe you should define what you really want to achieve. for
example, qdvd-author runs alls kinds of external programs to generate
thumbnails and slideshows for example.
anybody please correct me if i am wrong.
regards,
usleep

Google Earth on Wine on FBSD6.0
Hello All, i just want to share my experiences with Google Earth, and i am curious about other solutions to get it working properly. i compiled wine from the ports tree: $ pkg_info | grep wine wine-0.9.7,1Microsoft Windows compatibility layer for Unix-like systems i installed Google Earth on an u machine, and hooked the harddrive onto my FBSD6.0 machine ( looking back, this could have been done with winzip or any archiver ). i experimented a little, read the winehq db info. what i found was, it can work, but your .wine dir has to be very very fresh. i could not directly find out why this is. anybody? so it ended up with this: #!/usr/local/bin/bash rm -rf .wine wine cp Arial.TTF .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files" ; tar xzf ~/ge.tgz WINEDLLOVERRIDES="usp10,msvcrt=n" wine "c:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\GoogleEarth.exe" this script assumes: -Arial.TTF in your home dir -ge.tgz in your home dir ( containing "Google/Google Earth/*" ) -you have editted the default_lt.kvw as suggested on winehq changes i am not sure about: my tgz might contains a downloaded copy of msvcrt.dll. i don't think it matters. the result is pretty impressive: text is not spaced properly, but for the rest it works! ( with some quirks ) i am eager to hear about other (cleaner ) solutions. i also tested winword.exe from the other HD btw: worked out of the box. the other office apps did not however. anyway, it was a while since i tried to use wine, and the progress they made impressed me. regards, usleep ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

mmap on freebsd vs linux
Hi All, i am looking into implementing a piece of the V4L interface. this involves mmap'ing from userspace into kernelspace. in mplayer, this is what is called: tvi_v4l2.c: " priv->map[i].addr = mmap (0, priv->map[i].buf.length, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, priv->video_fd,priv->map[i].buf.m.offset); " the file descriptor parameter is the file descriptor of the opened capture device. the offset parameter should be filled in by the opened device. does mmap work on freebsd as it works on linux? ie: can i mmap any device? are there constraints on the device which should be met? regards, usleep ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

structure alignment problems
Hi,
i am working on getting mythtv-0.20 talking to the pvrxxx driver.
the problem appears when i want to do:
v4l2_capabilities vcap;
ioctl(videofd, VIDIOC_QUERYCAP, &vcap);
the driver and mythtv have the struct differently aligned, and i get
an "inappropiate ioctl for device". this is what the struct + IOR look
like:
struct v4l2_capability
{
__u8driver[16]; /* i.e. "bttv" */
__u8card[32]; /* i.e. "Hauppauge WinTV" */
__u8bus_info[32]; /* "PCI:" + pci_name(pci_dev) */
__u32 version;/* should use KERNEL_VERSION() */
__u32 capabilities; /* Device capabilities */
__u32 reserved[4];
};
#define VIDIOC_QUERYCAP _IOR ('V', 0, struct v4l2_capability)
the driver is compiled like this:
cc -O -pipe -Werror -D_KERNEL -DKLD_MODULE -nostdinc -I- -I../../..
-I. -I@ -I@/contrib/altq -I@/../include -finline-limit=8000
-fno-common -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mcmodel=kernel -mno-red-zone
-mfpmath=387 -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -msoft-float
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -ffreestanding -Wall -Wredundant-decls
-Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -std=c99 -c
/usr/ports/multimedia/pvrxxx/work/modules/cxm/cxm/../../../dev/cxm/cxm.c
it yields a struct-size of 104 bytes.
mythtv is compiled like this:
g++ -c -pipe -I/usr/local/include/artsc -D_REENTRANT
-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -g

-I../libmythlivemedia/UsageEnvironment/include
-I../../../../../../../local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o
cardutil.o cardutil.cpp
and it yields a struct-size of 128.
is it the -std=c99? is it because this is on amd64?
any help is greatly appreciated!

I found the english wkik entry so I could understand the piece. Since Sloot is dead, no way of knowing. actually there is. the Dutch wiki-article has much more detail about the case. this Sloot guy claimed he could compress any movie into 1kb ( 1024 bytes ). he stored this 1kb movies on smartcards, which he would feed into his magic machine to show the movies. in The Netherlands there was press-coverage about this, and he was able to attract investors and even a ( up to then ) reputable IT-guru assiocated with Philips to back him. they found silicon-valley investors who were interested. he died / killed himself / was murdered before his hoax could be uncovered. sounds a lot like the perpetuum mobile stories. But this is the kind of leap forward that would save, oh, a few measley $Billions.
