Re: Problem of segmentation fault with a lot of KDE programs

2007-02-02 Thread Gregory Nou

Hi again !
Replying to myself, as I made some progress, and would like to share them.
I put the line :
libpthread.so.2   libpthread.so.1
(which are /lib/libpthread.so.2 and /usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.1)
in /etc/libmap.conf and now, kdevelop, kdvi and amarok work... but
with this tuning, Terminal and Mozilla are not working, and I suspect
that it's the case for lot of other programs.
Error is :
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.1: Undefined
symbol __malloc_lock

So how could I make it work ?
How could I help the system to choose between both ?
I tried to put things like :
[/usr/local/bin/kdevelop-bin]
libpthread.so.2   libpthread.so.1
in libmap.conf, but it does not work for all the programs, and that
force me to add a lot of things manually to the libmap.conf file,
which is not that good...

Thanks !
Grégory

Hi,

After trying to figure out how to solve the problem I have on my own,
I'd like to submit it to you, to get some hints.
Here it is: almost all programs related to kde (kdevelop, kghosviewer,
kile, ...) and gaim are segfaulting, because of a problem which seems
to be related to pthread.
Please note that everything else is working fine : xfce-4.4, anjuta,
firefox, etc...

PCTV 310e support

2006-06-06 Thread Gregory Nou

Hi,

I bought recently a PCTV 310e, which uses USB-2. After reading carefully 
bktr manpage, I saw that The bktr driver provides support for PCI video 
capture, which is bad news.
Does somebody know if it is possible to add some (even dirty) hack to 
make bktr work with USB cards ?


Thx !

Hi Dave,

I have this :

Regarding quality, I had a lot of problems (meaning sound distorsion),

it works really well.

look at the end of rpm man page, there is a section INSTALL AND UPGRADE

Concerning other tools, the poor experience I have with RH showed me 
that rpm is a great tool. Maybe you may try yum, which, iirc, is a GUI

The errors you get are really weird.
Maybe you should check if there isn't a quote () missing somewhere before.
I'm currently running jdk15 on current, and never had problems with it.
If you still have the problem, could you send me the file

Could you also tell us which version of linux-jdk you have ?

I'd start with installing portupgrade, and trying to
portupgrade -arR. I'm sure there's another solution,
though.


I would suggest installing every port with :
portinstall -vRP directory_of_the_port/name_of_the_port

e.g. portinstall -vRP net/gaim

That will update all needed ports when necessary, fetching a precompiled 
version, or if not possible, downloading and compiling it from source. 
As I like verbosity, I put the -v.


Hope it helps,

Seems that it's not a gnome related problem.
You should install port textproc/p5-XML-Parser, and if already 
installed, verify that the link are well done in your /usr/local/bin (eg 
: not something like using perl5.8 and having perl pointing on perl5.6.2)

However, I had no chance to test it.
I just copied everything I needed, made a newfs, reinstalled the system

If you are able to backup, I think that it's a good solution.

Did you actually tried the dma trick with atacontrol ?

Concerning dmesg : atapci0: VIA 8235 UDMA133 controller port 
0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xdc00-0xdc0f at device 17.1 on pci0

It is also supported by ata(4)

I first thought the error occured due to high temperatures, but I doubt 
it is the right explanation. Although I cannot figure out a better 
explanation.

In the default version distributed by nVidia, you have to disable

I do not agree. I now compile the kernel without agp, but I used to 
compile with it until recently and never had such problems. Iirc, 
nvidia-drivers do not care about which version (i mean, freebsd's or 
nvidia's one) you have of agp.ko. It even give you the choice of which 
you want to use. (only if you load the native agp in module, not if it 
is statically compiled). That's in the X configuration file, something 
like NvAgp, and should be set to 0,1 or 2 (it's explained in the 
documentation).

I'd like to add that the port nvidia-driver works just fine.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you run
an internet/gaming cafe. The computers currently run Windows, and
you want a free operating system to replace it.

FreeBSD would be a fine choice, especially if most of your customers
want to surf the web or word process. 3D gaming is also possible,
but it takes a little bit of work.

Personally, I run my games on Linux (Ubuntu, in particular); FreeBSD
runs on my servers and work laptop. There are folks who use at least
some of the games you mentioned above on FreeBSD; hopefully they'll
chime in.

 


I ran Neverwinter Nights, Enemy Territory and UT2004 with great success.
However, playing this game under anything else than windows is to be a 
pain because of patches.
Games producers seem to love making v1.34.01.15 incompatible with 
v1.34.01.16, so as soon as the server administrator decide he will get 
this new 1.34.01.16, because he wants to correct that bug he did not 
even notice, you will have to update. And there... that's awful. You 
don't have the click here button to upgrade. You have to do it manually, 
hoping the port was updated.
The other problem you may have is with Pack, like in UT, with new 
vehicles, new maps and so on. They are often released in .exe, and 
downloading them using the game is very very slow.
Concerning the games you want to run, I just tried CS (CS1.5, not CS:S), 
using wine, like friends of mine. We only had issues with voice. I did 
not try Warcraft 3, but  there, you might want to use linux and wineX.
But if you're ready to accept these small problems, you should just 
wonder if the games you want to install are ported.
If you're considering building gaming servers, freebsd is definitely a 
good choice. Our gaming server used to run on Freebsd, and nobody 
complained about it.

Hi,

in fact, nautilus-media has disappeared from the ports tree...
Have a loo at MOVED :
multimedia/nautilus-media||2005-03-12|Deprecated, and no longer builds
By the way, you may also be inerested by the entry 20050312 of UPDATING, 
which says :

  Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
 DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
 or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade
 will cause problems and you will have to manually
 upgrade ports.

Ok, I've settled on upgrading to 5.4 (from 5.4 RELEASE) but I can't

Has anyone else used this upgrade method going from 5.3 to 5.4?
Any caveats on the kernel config?

Hi,

I'm not sure it's actually the question you're asking, but i did a 
cvsup, buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld yesterday, 
from a 5.3-release to 5.4-release, and I didn't had problems.
However, since I do have something very classical (Athlon-xp

Problems with p5-XML-parser (solved, but not well)

Hi,

I cvsuped yesterday and portupgraded everything, but things went wrong

already had to fight with, but that's another story)

Seems there is a kind of contradiction...

After that, I installed it with pkg_add, and know everything seems ok, 
but still I can't understand.

There is an entry in the UPDATING file, on 20050201. Is it related ?

Few really quick questions here:

Reading a encrypted pdf with xpdf

Hi !
I have a pdf (a patent) which is protected against printing. I can read

Hi !
I've tried to chroot an user, so i create /home/this_user/usr and the 
other needed directories, but later, I wanted to delete them (as root of 
course) and i typed rm -r /usr instead of rm -r usr ...
It asked me if  i wanted to overwrite su, so i saw my mistake, and 
cancelled, but i don't have adduser, man, ee and ... make anymore !
How can I repair that ? can i do something without reinstalling 
everything ? (I need at least make... and I'm quite reluctant at 
compiling /usr/src/usr.bin/make ... So i hope there is another way)

page fault at shutdown

2004-11-14 Thread Gregory Nou
Hi everybody,

Since I use FB 5.3 (beta 4, I know, I should update), I get a weird
problem.
When I do a ps aux | grep vr0, I get :

root22  0,0  0,0 0   12  ??  WL   23:19 0:15,50 [irq11: vr0
uhci0+]

I assumed that two different device shouldn't be on the same irq.
The problem I have occurs ONLY when I shut down the computer using gdm
(I mean Actions/shut down in gnome)
The shut down do everything normal but it fails to power off : it says
me that there is a page fault with this irq11
Since I wasn't really happy at the idea of hand writing the message, I
did not write it, but if it's necessary, I may do it.
What do you think about it ? is it a problem with my hardware (for
example, my bios is too stupid, or I am too stupid :)) or is it a pb
with freebsd ?

Cheers,

smbfs and kldload

2004-11-04 Thread Gregory Nou
Hi,

here is my (kind of) problem.
At school, we are forced to backup our docs (e.g. java code and tex
reports) on a windows server.
So I always did it with smbclient.
But now, I would love to do it with mount_smbfs, since I think it would
be easier (read more pratical)
But I compiled it statically (as I'm not sure it's the proper way to
express it : it's not a module, it's in my kernel)
Then, this happens :

# mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s.server.samba/my_account /mnt/disque_u
mount_smbfs: kldload(smbfs): File exists
zsh: exit 71mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s.server.samba/my_account

I looked at the man and at google, and did find people experiencing the
same pb with vfsload instead of kldload, but no fix.
So my question is : do I need to recompile a kernel w/o smbfs and then
load it as a module, or is there another solution ?

thx for reading this

Sound problem

2004-10-27 Thread Gregory Nou
Hi folks !

Here is my question, related to sound.
My problem is that when I have more than 2 days of uptime, I experience
distorsions in the sound when I hear music, when I play games, or watch
films, and even if the load is at 0.16
More surprising (and maybe related, but it is another question), mplayer
tells me that my computer is actually too slow to watch a film (I have
an Athlon XP2400+, 1GB DDR and my disk has 2 GB free)
 
But today, something more weird appeared (here is the dmesg) :

Interrupt storm detected on irq12: pcm0 uhci2; throttling interrupt
source
pcm0:play:4: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
pcm0:play:4: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
pcm0:play:4: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
pcm0:play:4: play interrupt timeout, channel dead
pcm0:play:4: play interrupt timeout, channel dead

I had formerly launched xmms, but it was on pause, and no music was
playing. I only have a mouse on usb, and I didn't move it when that
crash.
