FreeBSD 9.2 - does not appear to support the 'dc' PCMCIA NIC driver
I have a Netgear FA511 PCMCIA NIC that worked fine under 9.1.

My experience with portupgrade problems like this is that your INDEX-? and INDEX-?.db aren't being created properly after cvsuping. Portversion doesn't depend on them but portupgrade does. The INDEX-? that you download is always out of date. I use p5-FreeBSD-Portindex to keep them incrementally up todate, which is much faster then building the INDEX from scratch. After awhile, you have a mess and things don't build because the dependencies haven't been built.

Re: 7.2 Release kills my XP Dual Boot
Sorry I was less than clear.
I've been running XP + FreeBSD dual boot forever. After installing 7.2
(rebuilding from source), the XP partition wouldn't boot. When I selected
F1 at the boot menu, the system just hung.
I booted from an old 6.2 install disk I had around selected
Custom/Partition used the hidden W command to write the partition
information boot manager. I could then dual-boot XP / FreeBSD 7.2.
For fun, I tried Custom/Partiion/Write from the 7.2 DVD it hung just
like the rebuild from source. Fixed again with 6.2 disk.
My conclusion is that 7.2 (or 7.1 -- I moved from 7.0) broke dual boot.
Any other thoughts?

part of the problem.
My system disk has 3 partitions: ad0s2 is first (XP recovery). Next is

Do you see the FreeBSD booloader or Windows bootloader?
Not that this fixes the problem, but have you tried installing GRUB?

Re: make installworld fails on RELEASE6.4 amd64
On Sunday 15 March 2009 01:31:24 am Olivier Nicole wrote: Hi, I am facing a problem that I cannot solve when trying to reinstall wolrd on 6.4 amd 64. More about this issue. RELEASE_6.4 i386 is imune of this problem. I did a make -d A installworld and it seems that it is all about /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/machine. It's a link to /usr/src/sys/i386/include. This directory is created at the first installation of FreeBSD. When CMOS clock is the wall clock and when one is located ahead of UTC (Thailand is UTC+7), during the first installation of a distribution, the machine boots with UTC=CMOS clock, hence creating the directory hierarchy 7 hours ahead of time. The link /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/machine is created by make buildworld, after the first boot of the newly installed system, after the time zone has been set, so it is created with the right time. If one does an installworld between the 7 hours interval, when installing /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2, it detects that the directory /usr/src/sys/i386/include pointed by /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/machine is newer than the objects being installed, and it tries to rebuild the object. My wild guess is that on i386, make installworld looks at the modification date of the link /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/machine; while on amd64 make installworld looks at the modification date of the directory /usr/src/sys/i386/include pointed by the link. Hence the different behaviour. This is annoying for people leaving ahead of UTC, that will install a new distribution, cvsup the release, build and installworld, during the interval of 7 hours. I think that users behing UTC will not be affected. What I did is: during the installation of the distrubition I set back the CMOS clock to UTC time, and when FreeBSD was done installing from the CD, I reset the CMOS clock to the wall clock. It worked, but it's not very nice. What you did is not necessary if you adjkerntz -i when you boot to single user mode. I am curious to have experts opinion on the different behaviour of make regarding the modification date of the link /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/machine.

It should be safe to do the Ctrl-c. You are doing a fetch. What can go wrong? If you only have a partial distfile, and portupgrade can't handle that, at the worst, you cd /usr/ports/distfiles, remove the partial file, and try again. Things only get messy if you kill a job during an install. Since nothing has been added to the port database, you can probably just install it again.

How do you have your digital camera set to color correct for white? Your eyes automatically compensate. Look at a photo taken in tungsten light, without automatic white balance turned on and then, view it or print it in raw mode so that you see the real world and then, compare it with what you saw. Most monitors have a color temperature setting, which determines how the displayed colors are shifted. IIRC, our eyes peak at 5500 (a yellow green??), which is the color temperature of the sun. This is due to the nature that these devices use different color spaces (RGB, composed additively, CMY, composed negatively), and most of them even aren't calibrated. GRB and CMY are parts of the CIE specified space (see CIE diagram), but they don't have all the colors in common. There are colors you can show on a CRT, but you cannot print them 1:1. I took all 5 quarters of physics, like most of us, but never got far into optics. And certainly, nothing like *this*. the quality of my writing is much more important that the colors of typeface or background. But this is an interesting side-bar. But the ability of people to read it is an important consideration. I hate those web pages with dark backgrounds that I have to use the mouse to select the text so that I can read it. I am a speed reader and basically see words as images. Dark backgrounds strain my eyes and I can't read as fast as I can with dark text on light backgrounds. I get bored really fast when I start reading at 150-200 wpm instead of my normal 700-1200 wpm. Anyway, the best reading contrast - black on white - looks boring on the web, and it stresses your eyes (too much light reflected / emitted). Furthermore, if you select a dark color for the background, LCD type monitors (that have a minimal light emission even if the color is pure black) may look too light, while a CRT type monitor may display the color as dark as you intended (because when it's black, the CRT does not emit any light, unless, of course, the base brightness is needlessly adjusted above the zero point). So much for physics, kids. :-) Really! So far, in my tests [staring at a CRT], I find an off-white reads most easily against a very dark blue. 33; or whatever 66 is. Still experimenting. IIRC, dyslexics have a much harder time reading when the background is dark.

Fixit / LiveFS problems (AMD64)
I recently rebuild a 7-STABLE which refused to boot then ran into some problems trying to recover. 1) After escaping to the loader prompt, I could only enter a couple of characters (eg 2) before the machine hung. Not enough for the unload / load dance. 2) After booting from the downloaded 7-RELEASE install ISO (AMD64), I find the emergency shell doesn't have mount_ufs, just mount_nfs. Also, no /rescue directory. I don't know if this is by design, but how does one mount root or any other local disk partition? 3) After downloading burning the 7-RELEASE LiveFS ISO (AMD64), I find fixit told me ld.so-hints could not be created dynamicly linked programs wouldn't run -- and they didn't. 4) So I reinstalled, only newfs'ing /root pulled the appropriate files from a backup. What am I missing? This is a dual-boot VISTA machine with easybcd boot sector. I don't know what to make of problem 1), but the others seem release-engineering related. Thanks.

Wake-on-LAN and the em driver (freebsd 7.x)
How can I get the WOL (wake-on-lan) feature to work on my 7-stable system? I have a dual-boot system with an Intel PRO/1000 PT card that works great with FreeBSD, but the WOL only works under XP. Is there an ifconfig option (or similar) to enable WOL under FreeBSD? I notice that the LED on the gigibit hub for system is not lit after FreeBSD halt -p, but is lit (low-speed) after XP shutdown.

Hi,
I have a problem trying to `make index` on a machine running
4.11-STABLE after cvsup-ing the ports tree.
The port tree is no longer supported for anything less than version
5-stable. The last working tag is RELEASE_4_EOL.
I'll paste the error in below. It is with a multimedia package. If it
makes any difference, I don't need any multimedia on this computer.
Alternately, any links to a howto about ugrading this to 6 STABLE
would be appreciated.
Going from 4.x to 6.x, you are probably much better off doing a clean
install. Change the HDs from ufs to ufs2. Without the clean install,
you have too much crufty stuff left behind, such as the thread change.
In addition, there was a massive change at 5.1 +/- that building and
installing in the wrong order would leave your system unusable. I think
you could recover with the fixit disk but doing a clean install
bypasses all of the problems :).
I don't think going to 6.x is supported, so, going to 5-stable and then
6-stable will take a lot of time. Even a 6.2-release CD has the old
version of xorg on it and rebuilding everything to 7.2 is a massive
enterprise.
Install 6.2 and get all of the packages from freebsd.org.

I don't claim that this is necessarily your problem, but it caught me off-guard and it's worth looking at. I just finished rebuilding a system that went down on Saturday afternoon. It ended up being the power supply. Early on, I probably could have just replaced the ps but after a number of fsck's, followed by panics, there were files that were linked and etc. and the system wouldn't boot into single user mode. A rebuild using a brand new HD seemed the logical way out. I could mount the old disk and cp important directories or individual files onto the new HD. It turned out that / was the only one trashed but backup files of /etc , /home/user's, and all of the port tarballs were ok. One thing I forgot and that was the disappearance of the all HDs. You could cold boot and they were there. The system would panic and it would ask for a floppy to boot from. You could cold boot and fsck the HDs, reboot and it would run for a little bit and then go into the panic and HDs not there loop. It did this until it trashed ad0 and sh quit loading. I would lay odds that I could have used the power supply tester and the ps would test ok until it got under a load and shutdown. I had a ps do the same thing a couple of months ago but it didn't make HDs disappear. The system would just shutdown unexpectedly. I never made it to a buildworld and have it die with a signal 11.

I just finished rebuilding a system that went down on Saturday afternoon. It ended up being the power supply. Early on, I probably could have just replaced the ps but after a number of fsck's, followed by panics, there were files that were linked and etc. and the system wouldn't boot into single user mode. A rebuild using a brand new HD seemed the logical way out. I could mount the old disk and cp important directories or individual files onto the new HD.

I've got a case like this: libpthread.so.1: chew up cpu, then SEGV libthr.so.1: chew up cpu, but works! libc_r.so.5: works great! This is changed with libmap.conf.

The price you pay for going to the server and using single-user mode is less than the price you pay for doing it remotely *and* having it fail. It wasn't too far into the upgrade process from 6.0 to 6.1 that my boot1 got out of step and would cause a freeze during the boot. I could revert kernel.old back to kernel and then, I could figure out what was wrong. It was a multi-boot system and the version of boot1 on my c-drive was really old. Once I copied the new boot1 onto my c-drive, I didn't have any problems. It could have easily been something else that caused a panic at boot. The boot to single user mode is to reduce the frequency of that occuring; however, I find each system has quirks and if you take the chance, you may find a surprise waiting for you. The current gigabit if_re can panic at boot. If you reboot, it frequently will boot successfully. If not, you have to power down and then boot. It has always booted after the power down. There is a pr on the problem but nothing has been done about it. As you said, the price for doing it right, is often much less than scrambling to fix something that totally fails. A long time ago, I found that designing around the failures cost less in the long run than taking shortcuts that only saved time until something happened and your system was down for hours.

Non-boot on RELENG_6 1930 UTC source
I just updated my system with sources available on the mirrors at 11:30 PST and ended up with a system that wouldn't boot. It would get to the point that I chose FreeBSD using ntldr and it just stopped. The XP sytem uses an older boot1 to boot FreeBSD. I could use the 6.0-Release CD fixit option to go back to the system update of 18 March and that is what I am using now to send this email.

Re: Determining proper order to upgrade

Then I pkg_info -o name-of-each-port to find out where the port lives in the ports collection, go there, and then use make with whatever custom options I need to upgrade it. The trouble I have is when one or more of those low-level ports that everything else depends on gets upgraded. I can spend DAYS building and rebuilding ports until everything gets built with the most current dependencies. I'm familiar with the -r and -R switches for pkg_info, and they are a huge help in this situation, but I'm wondering if anybody has written a script that will take a list of packages to be upgraded, examine their dependencies and what depends on them, and then return a sorted list of every installed package that should be rebuilt in order to keep the dependencies current. I don't want something to automate the whole process - just something to help me out with determining which ports are affected and what order they should be rebuilt in. Some of those port management packages must have something like this internally. I guess I could go look there. ___ I like aliases but they don't work for this.

Portupgrade proceeds linearly and you may need to run it a few more times for everything to be upgraded. At least that's how I understand it. But the -rR tells it to look at all of the dependancies and build them if they need to be. In addition, if something depends on it, it will also build them. I don't see any differance.

Re: Any idea when Xorg 7.0's coming to FBSD?
On Thursday 02 February 2006 23:53, Björn König wrote: Garrett Cooper schrieb: Erm, unless 6.9 is modular (which I didn't think was the case), there should be a noticeable difference. The noticeable difference is that 7.0 takes much more time to compile all in all because of its modularity. A German magazine tested both: 6.9 took 19 minutes and 7.0 75 minutes on their dual Opteron 246 machine with 2 GB RAM (source: iX 1/2006). Differences like that usually point out a poor interaction between the files and the make process. For example, if you provide the compiler with a list of files, you may only have to load the compiler once but you can compile many modules. If you use make and load the compiler many times, it will take much longer to build a system. We had one program that the computer center manager tried to build and after 7 hours, he killed the job. It was only half way done. I suggested Microsoft's Power Fortran which loaded once and compiled many. The MS Fortran compiler completed the build in 2 minutes. It took me around 30 minutes to figure out that it had compiled everything. MS Power Fortran went on to be DEC's Fortran for PCs and I don't know what it called now. CPU speeds and HD speeds were much slower when this happened.

Re: make index
On Tuesday 24 January 2006 11:19, Matthew Seaman wrote: Michael P. Soulier wrote: After running CVSup, I've seen people build their index via cd /usr/ports make index # wait a frickin' long time What is the index, and does it really require rebuilding after each CVSup? The index is a list of all of the ports, what each port depends on, who the maintainer is and various other data. It's used by the 'make search' command (see ports(7)) an a few other make targets you can invoke from /usr/ports, plus it's used quite extensively by portupgrade(8). Other port maintenance software does not need an index file -- generally they work out the dependency relations between different packages on the fly. You don't need to keep running 'make index' all the time. Firstly, you can download a freshly build index by 'make fetchindex' -- which is sufficient for most uses. If you use the new portsnap(1) facility instead of cvsup(1), you'll get a freshly built index file included automatically. Or (blowing my own trumpet here...) you can install sysutils/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex which gives you a method of incrementally updating your index file based on what was modified during the previous cvsup session (or however you choose to upgrade your ports). You might wonder what Portindex buys you. You have to appreciate that you can cvsup, create an HTML listing to the cvsweb cgi facility using a log of the cvsup session, create a new INDEX, and an INDEX.db relatively quickly. The process is all automated via a shell script. A typical time for the entire sequence of processing steps using a local cvsup mirror is 2 minutes. I had an occasion to time the script because of a recent question on the es.freebsd list. I think that 2 minutes is as fast as it will run on my systems and do something. The network is 1000baseT but that doesn't make cvsup run any faster than a 100baseT connection. The port people have been playing with some of the make features and that adds 5-10 minutes or so because the cache entries needs to be updated for all of the ports that use the make file that was modified. Occasionally you have to update the entire cache and that process is slower than a make index.

I have a rough idea of what needs to be done to accomplish this from reading various docs but it would be nice to see how smoothly it has gone for any others. There have been major changes in processes such as threads. You also have to boot the 5.3 update in single user mode to have a kernel that accepts the new arrangement and then install the userland. Before 5.1 or 5.2 it didn't matter much but there was an fs change that you update in single user mode or boot the fix disc to finish the botched update. You also have the problem that probably none of your ports from 4.x will work at 6.0. This could take quite a bit of time to upgrade. I don't think you can do src upgrade remote unless you have a serial console setup. I also think you are better off building new HDs and install them in the remote machine. Kent From what I can tell I first need to upgrade to a minimum of 5.3-RELEASE and then onto 6.0, so I guess doing a cvsup to the 5.3-RELEASE and then doing buildworld et all? Then from there to same to get to 6.0? My main concern is the filesystem, it's been updated since 4.x? Will this mess things up? The machine is remote so I really need to make sure this works without making it inaccessible. I have a box here to trial run the process on so I get the steps correct first time, but thought I'd ask here too. :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA Nunca te acostarás sin saber una cosa más http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That is why you boot to single user mode. FreeBSD does not tolerate HDs with bad sectors. You would have to really mess up your install for a reinstall to help. I usually joke that a reinstall only helps on Windows :). I always choose the typical install because that has been tested the most. You can always tweak a working system but you can have problems when you pick and choose at the first install. With a release, any panic is important. They just don't happen unless something is wrong. Portupgrade or portmanage can reduce the chances of building modules out of order. If you build them manually out of order, problems like the one you saw with neon can happen. I did not do that, I've just installed 6.0-RELEASE from the distribution CD-ROM and after the primary installation procedure I went to /usr/ports/x11/kde3 to make the desktop KDE and meanwhile that I was copying my files from my home dir of the old notebook (only userland files, nothing in kernel) and this gave the first PANIC after some hours; If it is software, you can back out ports that you load until you don't have problems. this time after the installation of 6.0-RELEASE I'll only make /usr/ports/emulators/qemu to see if I can reproduce the PANIC with the above procedure; we will see... I would still bet on hardware errors but anytime you make a bet you can be wrong. When you find what was causing the problem, you can say ¡Ahh! :).

Since it is in the dependancy list, I would just build neon and try building subversion again. I first would try updating subversion with one of the tools and see if it is fixed for you. I deinstalled ports/www/neon/ and installed it again; now it placed the header files and the ports/devel/subversion went fine; I don't know why it did not automatically in the process started by 'make install' in ports/x11/kde :-(( I had one or two PANIC's during the makes and while I was copying over my homeland from the older notebook, maybe the later fsck removed the just installed header files; with the PANIC's I still have to work out, what's going on; I can now reproduce them by: - booting into normal runlevel - login as root and than # kldload kqemu # kldstat # su - user -- PANIC Any hints on that? Boot to single user and fsck your system. It sounds like you have some bad sectors. If the fsck removed anything you just added such as header files, you could have problems like you saw. FreeBSD will do a background fsck but sometimes you need to do it in the foreground. With a release, any panic is important. They just don't happen unless something is wrong. Portupgrade or portmanage can reduce the chances of building modules out of order. If you build them manually out of order, problems like the one you saw with neon can happen. If it is software, you can back out ports that you load until you don't have problems. A panic can happen with the ?-stables and that is why you boot to the new kernel is single user mode. Recovery is trivial until you have done an installworld.

You can try to visit with firefox but that doesn't always work even with firefox on XP. NO site should be designed to work with IExplorer. I know it's done, but it should not! Why do we have W3C? If we could all just do things by the book the internet would be a much nicer place to visit. People who design for IExplorer are bad! They have microsoft in mind and _not_ the visitors. I hate it when choice gets violated! It should be called a crime against freedom. I have seen some that don't work properly except with IE but the only sites I have encountered that demand IE are online banking. They seem to only understand how to let you login securely using IE. There are some sites such as Tyco that only work with Mozilla style browsers. It depends on the push techology built into Mozilla style browsers. You can see what the Navy Observatory time is but the automated gif only works with the mozilla products. See http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/what1.html Each browser has some technology that they depend on and you have to use that browser before you can use their services. The 80/20 rule probably applies because the banks can program for IE and get 85% of the people without trippling their web development costs. Kent imho: sites designed for 'iexplorer only' should be banned ;-) -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA Nunca te acostarás sin saber una cosa más http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
