Re : can i just upgrade the 8.1 kernel ?
I think you have not understood the handbook. You MUST rebuild both base system and kernel to correctly upgrade your FreeBSD box to 8.1-RELEASE.

That way you don't have to rebuild the whole base system each time, though some of the patches will require the kernel to be rebuilt. That's what I used to do and it works. Only trouble is that in some cases it turns out that it's not enough to simply follow instructions from security advisory. You have to manually make other parts of the system otherwise updating will fail. I found it somewhat confusing and time consuming. Now I'm using freebsd-update with my custom built kernel and it also works fine. I just have to remember to rebuild and reinstall my kernel every time after using freebsd-update (or in fact only when kernel code is affected).

Re: Problem using Portmaster to upgrade installed ports via packages only
First, Thanks Doug for responding to my mails. I don't know (or understand) if I have to set a value to PM_SU_VERBOSE That depends on your goal. Why are you setting this? I thought that PM_SU_VERBOSE will explain the errors about my sudo problem. I can use portmaster with sudo only with the command : #sudo portmaster -options but not with .portmasterrc, or /etc/portmaster.rc I have tried to set PM_SU_VERBOSE=/usr/local/bin/sudo without success If you can help me here, I have read the manpage hundred times, but haven't found where I am wrong. Please copy and paste the parts of the man page that are confusing. That will help me improve it. I think I have misunderstood the using of PM_SU_VERBOSE. I thought that PM_SU_VERBOSE was the verbose mode of PM_SU_CMD. As you describe in your mail, the using of this option is not applied for my case. Meanwhile, you might also consider simply running portmaster as root. There is nothing preferable about running it with sudo, it is a feature that I added because users so often requested it. I have apply your advice, and I haven't got problem. Now I can install ports from packages (if available) or from sources. Really, thanks again Doug for your help, and advices.

The directory /usr/ports/distfiles/ does not contain packages. It contains distribution files, those are usually archives full of source code and other resources that a port needs to be processed. To the OP: If you've already installed KDE4 from packages, the step make in the KDE4 ports directory will first generate KDE, and the step make install will install it. You have to deinstall (make deinstall) your KDE (from packages) first. To the system, it doesn't matter if a program has been installed from ports or packages; packages can be seen as precompiled and compressed ports, while ports per se are the material to create the programs (sources, resources, images, and so on). If you want to create packages from a port (or maybe package) you already have installed, use make package. This will generate a compressed archive in /usr/ports/packages/ subtree. You can install those packages on other systems, for example, without the need for compiling or fetching (a good solution for off-line operations). If this wasn't the answer you were searchig for, try to ask in a more precise way. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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 ___ 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

Re: u3g network problem
Hi, If your DNS are changed, I think that your network card is configured in DHCP mode.

(I use wvdial, and love it) I've seen this happen on my 3g network as well. It seems that the ISP randomly updates the DNS to a broken one. So write down the DNSs when it's actually working (cat /etc/resolv.conf) and make yourself a little script that updates them back to the working DNSs here is mine for example (adjust to your working DNSs): # cat ./dnsdigitel #!/bin/sh echo nameserver 204.59.152.208 /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver 57.73.127.195 /etc/resolv.conf So when it stops resolving I just ./dnsdigitel and that's it. Of course, this could be easily automated, etc. but it's a quick fix to your problem. Now, the interesting this is that your ISP does exactly the same as my ISP, it changes the DNS randomly to non-working ones, curious. Best, Alejandro Imass Then if I use an IP, it works. So it looks like it is a problem with DNS. I've tried with an other dns server with the same result. I've also tried with a local dns server to cache the requests. It looks to help a bit. Anyway I also use a ssh tunnel to connect to my server and (on the server) I can see a lot of CLOSED sockets with netstat, and a lot of sshd processes stuck, even after days.

Re: Re : building from source after freebsd-update
That handbook section is where I read: The default is to update the source code, the entire base system, and the kernel. First, freebsd-update tool sync the source. And in fact much of the /usr/src/ does contain source code. /usr/src/sys/ subdirectories seem populated, and some directories under /usr/src/usr.bin/ and /usr/src/usr.sbin/ contain source, while others only contain the Makefile. /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/ contains only the Makefile. Which lead to the make depend error I experienced. It seems like I could build the kernel, and parts of the non-kernel base, but not other parts. After RTFMing, scroogling for days, and going through UPDATINGs and READMEs I'm still not clear on how to mix freebsd-update and building all or parts of the base source. I'm interested in being able to build system apps in the base, custom kernel modules, and eventually the entire kernel. Freebsd-update tool will update your base system and GENERIC kernel, using binary. If your are using a custom kernel, you must reboot on the GENERIC kernel (that have just been upgraded) and do your make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernel and make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernel freebsd-update is _extremely_ painless for tracking the security patches. It would be nice to be able to mix this with a certain amount of building source. From the Handbook : This utility provides two separate functions. First, it allows for binary security and errata updates to be applied to the FreeBSD base system without the build and install requirements. Second, the utility supports minor and major release upgrades. This tool is only available for RELEASE, not for STABLE or CURRENT.

FreeBSD port : audio/mpdscribble
I have found a solution to my problem. I have created a directory mpdscribble in /var/run Then, I changed rights of /var/run/mpdscribble to 777 and I rebooted the system. At startup, there were no error message. In /var/run/mpdscribble the pid file was present and was owned by nobody user. Then I changed the owner of ths directory to nobody user (owner), and I 'chmoded' 755 on the directory. Now I can start mpdscribble at startup without error. I hope this can be useful for others.

Of course, there were 7.2 sources in /usr/src and I didn't find any sources in /var/db/freebsd-update/. It's the first my question.

I made as mentioned in hanbook: # freebsd-upgrade install # shutdown -r now # freebsd-upgrade install There were many errors bad sistem call on th last command. After all I discovered that much files from / were lost (I didn't find any grep, bzcat and so on). On boot kernel can't find fsck_ufs, so automatic mounting fails.
