Re: Moved drives ...

I'm not sure how to influence this - there seems to be no keyboard control at any rate ... I've decided to re-install FreeBSD rather than try to learn about this - lazy. During install, although FreeBSD correctly recognizes all the drives and allows me to select one as a target and use whole, when it gets to slicing up the drive and presents the list of all drives, it incorrectly shows the first drive (the Windows drive) as having UFS partitions and so on - that drive is a single NTFS slice ... Needless to say there's no way I'm proceeding with install. So I leave the cabling order (which is what I originally changed prompting me to email the list) but unplug the Windows drive and install FreeBSD. Reboot and ... same situation. Sort of expected. Presumably, this is an understood situation with a simple workaround (failed drives etcetera). Please let me know (man pages accompanied by cluesticks are fine - I'm new here). If you'd've used labels (either glabel or tunefs -L) you'd not have to change your /etc/fstab at all.

Moved drives ...
Hey. I had installed 9.0 to a SATA drive (ada1 I think) and went to install Windows on a higher numbered drive but Windows doesn't like that or so I gathered. Anyway, I moved drives around and installed Windows - FreeBSD is now ada2 I think. I'm used to OpenBSD where fixing this is a vi fstab ... What's the procedure on FreeBSD?

Mouse disconnecting and reconnecting ...
Hey. I've recently installed 9.0 amd64 and X11 and Gnome. Here is my rc.conf mouse stuff: moused_nondefault_enable=NO Originally I'd bump the mouse and see it doing stuff on the console and although it's a common mouse (a few weeks old) apparently it's regarded as a non-default mouse. I notice on the console (ttyv0) the following message repeated over and over (say once a minute or so): ugen4.2: Microsoft at usbus4 (disconnected) ums0: at uhub4, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected) ugen4.2: Microsoft at usbus4 ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse v2.0, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.04, addr 2 on usbus4 ums0: 3 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=0 I don't use mouse on the console so no problem. Anyway, when I use Gnome, if I hover over something that can be clicked or selected ... it will be clicked or selected without me presing the left mouse button - this happens consistently and takes a few seconds. I'm not sure if those two things are connected (the message on the console and the automatic mouse in Gnome) but I'm interested in finding out. dmesg follows. Best wishes.

Use a magnetized needle and a steady hand you buffoon! There. I respect! :) Well played. It's a serious issue for me after 15 years of Windows on the desktop to change environment to FreeBSD. I've reached this point after lengthy deliberation with the intent to change once only. While I consider it disappointing and surprising that man pages are suspect (no doubt most are accurate) the bottom line is the community response which includes man page writers and you and me. Well played there too. Disregarding any hiccups, I'm running FreeBSD on my main machine, I've installed X11 and Gnome and it works better than I could have envisoned - the first video I went to on YouTube played ... roll on HTML5 ... sound works ...

Re: sysinstall
Nikola Pavlović nzp at riseup.net If you did it the normal way Please define normal. As per the way you do it? Surely that's not what you mean right? As per the handbook? As per the man pages? As per the way I usually do it? I'm new here so I don't have a normal way other than spending hours reading documentation ... and telling myself that everything that goes wrong is probably my fault. That's my normal way when I'm using new software. That's also my normal way when I'm familiar with something. Please tell me if that methodology is not as good as yours ... with bsdinstall then I guess everything would install correctly. I guess that also. Please read man sysinstall for me and point out why I should be guessing whether or not system utilities are intended to function as described. Replies to the list are fine. But anyway, you can use the other methods mentioned in the handbook. ... and anyway, if cp(1) fails I can use dump(8) instead. Problem solved. Doing it with # portsnap fetch extract seems the most straight forward way to me. Sysinstall seems the most straight forward way to me. It might be of interest to you that after spending an hour or so with sysinstall I proceeded to spend an hour or so with portsnap before it appeared to work. My undocumented experience with it and what you apparently consider are normal and/or straight forward, seem, under the circumstances, of no import. If you want to espouse an opposing view without explanation or ridicule my methodology, knock yourself out but please do it like I'm your friend. A simple use portsnap you clown probably would have done it for me and put a smile on my face.

Re: sysinstall
So of course I can't install source using sysinstall either ... No problem, I'll re-install (reverting a few hours of work) and do it on the install. Of course it works perfectly - I am able to install ports and src from the CD that sysinstall fails on ... As I'm getting used to though, there's more facepalming ... I'll do what I'm accustomed to do ... and partition my drive ... this should be easy. / 1GB swap 1GB /root 1GB /tmp /1GB /usr 50GB etcetera ... FreeBSD can't extract root/.profile from base.txz (or similar) avanothergo or exit ... No worries, it's a bit of dust, avanothergo ... Rinse and repeat x times - so I pull the CD out of the drive and rinse. Looks pretty clean ... try again. FreeBSD can't extract etcetera. I installed from this CD a few hours previously on a brand new (a handful of uses) drive. I remember reading somewhere that 2GB is a recommended size for / (don't ask me where, I've looked) but I've taken this into account with a separate /root right? Let's bump all of them anyway. / 2GB swap 2GB /root 2GB /tmp /2GB /usr 50GB etcetera ... FreeBSD can't extract some file from some where ... ... avanothergo and use the default partitioning scheme, it must be the CD but I'll verify that ... So after an hour or so, success. I'm interested in the reason for this. Surely not inodes? Is this considered a bug? Is there at least one reason why a separate /root slice should not be allowed? If so, I think it would be nice to see an error message that describes the situation.

Re: Simple question about pkg_add ...
Hi Polytropon. I did have a look inside and I did pkg_add -v which gives enough information combined with my meagre knowledge to guess that it had something to do with source. I'm so unfamiliar with pkg_add I'm not sure if that is normal. I'm very new here. Certainly it's not in a suitable format for pkg_add to deal with. I guess pkg_add is the preferred option for firmware installation. I'll contact the maintainer.
