I'm tired of not having my wi-fi card work. I'm tired of only a select support for certain brands. Secure? In spades. Stable? Ditto. Usable?

Re: Problems Printing
Thank you all for all your help, this is apparently an unsolvable problem. Seems I wasted your time as well as mine trying to get yet another piece of hardware working under FreeBSD. I've done everything asked of me, several times over, and this ends with someone deciding I'm a liar. Have a nice day.

That looks valid (I'm on a much older system here, so things
might have changed).
What directory are those in? Somewhere in the port's working
directory? Try make clean and rebuild.
Nope, from /usr/local/share/doc/doxygen/html/
I'll do that once the other updates are run through (a bunch of them to
be sure).
From the source file, you've quoted the following line:
\includegraphics[width=14cm]{infoflow}
This means the graphicx package will obtain the required
file automatically, that could be in a different format
(PNG is supported by pdflatex, EPS is common for normal
latex). If a conversion is required, the port should have
done this prior to running LaTeX (be it from teTeX or
TeXLive which is today's preferred LaTeX distribution).
I think it's teTex, but I'm not sure. Whatever one got pulled in for
Scribus and the other programs that dep on it.

I've experienced similar and different moments of unintended successful rm, so I won't mention missing backups. ;-) (: Is there any way to retrieve any of them? Yes, but it's not easy. Prepare to go on a journey though file system documentation, trial error. Obviously we're talking about a USB stick, so no TB amount of data has to be processed. First of all: Do _not_ alter the USB stick in any way. No matter what you do, it can always get worse. Oh no, not a USB stick, I'm talking hdd partitions (4GiB on one, 64GiB on another) but it will be the same process. I'll see about investing in an external hard drive. I've not wrote any data to either partition since the accidental deletion. Very good. You can first make a copy of the file system (the whole stick) and use that: It will be faster to access and if you do something wrong, the original data (which we can assume is still there) won't be affected: # dd if=/dev/da0 of=stick.dd Now let me introduce you to the list of helpful programs in case you've done something ultimately stupid which I have already repeated several times on this mailing list. I'm sure you can find some program that will help you. See my individual notes regarding your specific situation. I will refactor text from a previous message. A worst-case tool to recover data (not file names, but file content) is testdisk; in ports: sysutils/testdisk. It's also on some diagnostics and recovery CDs like UBCD. I've tried test disk but it doesn't have a UFS option for some reason. You can also try this: # fetch -rR device where would I fetch to? Also recoverdisk could be useful. also in /usr/ports/sysutils ? The ports collection contains further programs that might be worth investigating; just in case they haven't been mentioned yet: ddrescue dd_rescue - use this to make an image of the stick! magicrescue testdisk- restores content recoverjpeg foremost photorec Then also ffs2recov scan_ffs should be mentioned. And finally, the cure to everything is found in The Sleuth Kit (in ports: tsk): fls dls ils autopsy awesome Keep in mind: Read the manpages before using the programs. It's very important to do so. You need to know what you're dealing the testdisk man page is very unhelpful. ): with, or you'll probably fail. There is no magical tetroplyrodon to click ^Z and get everything back. :-) well, not so sure. Found a Windows program to recover deleted stuff on UFS, but I imagine it's harder touse then the above (and more expensive). I will definitely work on the above first. Proprietary (and expensive) tools like R-Studio or UFS Explorer can still be considered worth a try. Their trial versions are for free. UFS Explorer even works using wine (I've tried it). I have a frustrating history with wine but will give it a go (also, amd64 here, so who knows). Note: I've dealt with a comparable problem some months ago when a Windows PC has repaired a FAT file system on a USB stick, with the excellent result of all data being gone. I could restore everything except the original file names (which I wrote a script to conclude them from file metadata and content). So it should be possible. Good luck!

Fat Fingered An 'rm -rf' of Important Files
Okay, I know I should pay more attention to what I'm doing, and having separate partitions isn't an excuse for regular backups. If we can skip the finger wagging on that part I'd appreciate it. Here is what happened. I was mounting a thumb drive and I was wanting to 'rm -rf' what was on it (it doesn't matter if I was root or not, I gave the directories I mount to in /mnt user:usergroup permissions so it would have happened regardless). Because I was having a conversation with my wife, balancing my laptop, and trying to do this, I deleted the contents of /mnt/business (important business documents, journaled partition) and /mnt/storage (4GB irreplaceable photos, all my music (all replaceable once I get my super-multi-format (dvd+/-/cd/rw), and other various files (sermons, notes on sermons, bible study notes, and more), irreplaceable videos and more all gone (in total about 63GiB of files). Is there any way to retrieve any of them? I've not wrote any data to either partition since the accidental deletion. None of my other filesystems (/ and /usr/local/home/*) were affected by my stupidity. -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

kernel panic leads to core dump
I was going ahead and attempting to install libreoffice 3.5.7 and it was going along nicely until the kernel panicked. When I rebooted, I tried to start the install again but it aborted so I went to make clean in /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice when the kernel panicked again.

Thunderbird 17.0.1_1 Seg Fault 11's on Enigmail and Lightning
My apologies for the bad x-posting, mistakenly sent to ports list. Okay, I have a .core and .txt file with all the info anyone would need, I imagine, if it would help in solving this issue. When I run Thunderbird 17.0.1_1 and try to select the Generate option when I open Key Management from the OpenPGP menu (Enigmail 1.4.6) or dismiss even reminders from Lightning (1.9b1), Thunderbird will exit with segmentation fault: 11(core dumped) leaving behind a 116MB core file. Running thunderbird thunderbird.debug 21 captures any errors but I have no idea what to look for. I can put both files on a http server in short-order, just let me know what you all need.

Xiphos Locale Bug?
FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE, i386 Xiphos is giving me a strange warning[0], and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. The forums don't address this specifically that I could find, and nothing via a web search seemed to be relevant to my issue. Not quite sure what the issue is, either, to be honest. I did recently set in /etc/login.conf (and made sure the update made it to ~/.login_conf): # # American Users Accounts. Setup proper environment variables. # american|American Users Accounts:\ :charset=iso-8859-1:\ :lang=en_US.iso-8859-1:\ :tc=default: Basically I copied the Russian settings (and then commented them out, not sure why they are uncommented by default), replacing the lang and charset as appropriate (I don't care how many of you like UTF-8, either, keep it to yourselves). Should I just re-compile now that I've explicitly set things? I couldn't find anything in the misc/xiphos/Makefile to manually change it and am assuming it takes that from the environment? I found a thread[1] in the forums that gave me the idea for the above block [0]: http://www.joseph-a-nagy-jr.us/images/problems/xiphos.png [1]: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=9120 -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Currently C is set as the default language setting (locale) for that specific program. It cannot handle it and probably won't (as indicated) translate things properly. C is the typical fallback locale. Really? Seems a bit odd. See the settings of $LANG and the $LC_* variables. There is a specific precedence in their evaluation! Ah, I will have to read up on those, for future reference. # # American Users Accounts.

Looks fully valid. Good. Should I just re-compile now that I've explicitly set things? Why? Language settings are evaluated at runtime, no need to compile anything. As you have made the change to login.conf (at the global level), make sure your user account doesn't override anything. Also check if you need to run cap_mkdb to create login.conf.db from your settings. I already ran it, I just need to logout/in after LibreOffice is done compiling. Alternatively (usually not recommended, but works) you can set (i. e. setenv) language variables in /etc/csh.cshrc globally, or ~/.cshrc for your user account. Example: setenv LC_ALL en_US.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_MESSAGES en_US.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_COLLATE de_DE.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_CTYPEde_DE.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_MONETARY de_DE.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_NUMERIC de_DE.ISO8859-1 setenv LC_TIME de_DE.ISO8859-1 unsetenv LANG That will leave english text intact (most usable language setting for most programs), but allow specific settings like time notation or collation according to the german rules. Will keep that in mind for future reference. I'm going to be learning one or two new languages soon and that will be helpful when I go to set up a new user to practice reading (and not just talking) those languages.

I was compiling from source using make and letting dependencies be resolved automatically. Something seriously got messed up and I feel like an idiot. I was following the handbook and was in chapter 5 where it was recommended to install subversion for ports tree management (sounded good to me) and I executed, from /use/ports/devel/subversion/ 'make install clean'. It was doing good up until doxygen/graphviz, it seems. I have no easy way of getting the error messages here (on the Ubuntu side of the laptop I'm installing on) as Ubuntu's ufs tools suck. I'm wanting to get away from Canonical telling me what I'm going to use and back to maintaining my own system. I decided on FreeBSD because of stability and security, but I'm stumped and feel like a moron. So much for good starts (I used gparted to resize the Ubuntu partition so I could fit FreeBSD on here). -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

You can reconfigure the port (and its dependencies, in case you don't exactly know in which port the problem occured) by doing: # cd /usr/ports/graphics/graphviz/ # make clean # make rmconfig-recursive # make config-recursive ... now process all config screens as needed ... # make install In case something stops on the way, investigate _there_. It may be possible that you need a make deinstall make reinstall step, depending in what currently is installed on your system. Thanks, I hate seeming like a noob but its been a while since I've had to get under the hood, so to speak. Note that using port management tools might be an easier approach here, but utilizing the power of bare bone ports could lead to better diagnostic messages. I was just following the handbook's suggestion of installing subversion (which on a bare system led to hours of compilations that broke because I didn't know swig was a program to handle what I was optioning in for graphviz or that it was broken and not used). Anyway, always consult /usr/ports/UPDATING for news. You would (for example) find something like this: 20080507: AFFECTS: Perl interface users of audio/gramofile AUTHOR: ra...@freebsd.org Perl support is removed due to devel/swig11 removal in ports. If you use the Perl interface, you are encouraged to use the new Audio::Gramofile found on CPAN (contact me for the ports). Note that this is a quite old message, quoted as an example only because it relates to swig. Thanks, I'll definitely do so next time. (: I'd rather not reinstall the entire system. Thanks. The system is managed independently from the installed software, so actually don't fear: no need to do this. Haha, you have no idea what sort of troubles I sometimes cause for myself in this regard. ;) When I muck something up, I muck it up good! -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
