FreeBSD FAMP on a mini-itx/embedded platform
Hi, I'm looking to make a light FreeBSD-Apache-MySQL-PHP system out of a VIA EN 5000 system. It would replace my home file/web server which currently runs 24h/7d with a silent and energy-wise bundle. I would also like to take advange of the C7 processor's Padlock feature (SSL encryption). I believe FreeBSD supports it? I'm not looking for 3D performance or the such for this file server, but I would expect it to atleast keep up with the current server network-wise. Are my expectations unfounded? Does anyone here run FreeBSD on a VIA EN system or other embedded C7-based machine? Thanks!

Set default python to 2.5?
Can anyone tell me how to set the default python to 2.5. I've updated python to 2.5 about 2 weeks ago when it became default. Since some were having issues, it was defaulted back to 2.4. I'm not having any problems (and I have lots of ports that use python), and would like to keep 2.5, but everytime I portupgrade, I'm asked to "upgrade" python-2.5 to python-2.4.3,1 and anything that depends on python which would need updating tries to install 2.4.3,1. Is there a make.conf flag or something I can do to make 2.5 my default python?

If I know libc has been bumpted, then there's a reason to go in stand-alone as there might be running processes that might be affected. On a multiple user machine it is highly recommended because 1) You warn the user that a loss of ressource (network connection etc...) is imminent due to reboot 2) Any huge processes are stopped and will not be affected by live changing of libraries and core /bin or /usr/bin and other system bin files. 3) If somethings goes wrong, you won't be affecting other users in mysterious ways, you can fix it right away and resume "serving".

If you go into /var/db/pkg/libgmp-4.1.4_1 you'll see a file called +REQUIRED_BY. Read it (cat "+REQUIRED_BY") to see which ports require libgmp.

The compiler sees constants differently from variables (which reside in a memory space). With the constant, the optimizer can rewrite the equation with its answer. Anyhow, it can't be seen as a bug because you should include the math library whenever you're using a function from it (see man pow).

I'm not sure I get your question, but if your not using the math library (from
variables or functions), then the compiler could care less if it was linked
with the math library or not.
If your software DOES use a variable or a call from math.h (pow in this case),
then linking with the math library is a must.
Hope this answers your question, if it doesn't, post a test2.c with what you
meant and I'll answer best I can.

C/C++ call to detect cpu?
Other than 'grep'ing dmesg, is there a way to know the current cpu such as a struct with the machine's cpu and cpu feature (kinda like a time_t struct)? Portability is not really an issue (though I would be nice if it could run on BSD/linux systems). For example, on one of my systems (from dmesg): CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (2493.04-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x20ff0 Stepping = 0 Features=0x78bfbff Features2=0x1 AMD Features=0xe2500800 AMD Features2=0x1 I would need AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (2493.04-MHz 686-class CPU) or similar.

Though I cannot answer for your specific model, I have a Lexmark E232 which runs fine in FreeBSD with the CUPS system (ports/print/cups) using the Generic PCL 5e Printer Foomatic/ljet4 driver (ports/print/foomatic*). If there is no specific driver for the Z35, you can probably make your printer work with emulation (like I am using).

From man fopen:
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion fopen(), fdopen() and freopen() return a FILE
pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the global variable errno is
set to indicate the error.
That means that your code should be:
FILE *source;
source = fopen("/home/user/test.c", "r");
if (!source) {
printf("fopen error");
exit(0);
};

I use samba+cups at home. My situation is similar, except my printer is connected to one of my FreeBSD machines. The hardest part of linking FreeBSD with Windows isn't the getting the shares to work, but the printers to work, and I found it easier to have the printer on FreeBSD and have Windows write to it using real drivers (cups in RAW mode). Actually, it's not as hard at is seems. Here's what I put in my smb.conf to make the printer work: printing = cups load printers = yes [printers] path = /var/spool/samba use client driver = Yes printable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no You'll find a lot of help in the Samba documentation and cups is also well documented.

kdeinit stays up after logout
Hi, I don't know how long it has been like that, maybe since kde 3.4 but about 1 in 3 times, kdeinit will stay up and consume my cpu like free beer after logout. I resolve by "killall -KILL kdeinit" and everything is fine until it does it again. I haven't found the cause or a real solution so far. I was wondering if there's a script kdm runs at logout that I can add "killall -KILL kdeinit" inside. Anyone know?

safe to delete /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg libs
Hi, When I update using portupgrade, sometimes replaced libs are sent to /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, for backward compatibility I presume. My question is, how do I know if librairies in that folder are safe to delete? I checked today, and there are libs that are 8 months old which I assume aren't used since a newer version exists in /usr/local/lib and I always keep my system up to date, compiling from source.

Samba and/or cups problem with printing
Hi, (Please excuse my overly complicated message) I just bought a usb laser printer (Lexmark E232). After some hours of digging, I ended up having it working with cups+foomatic under a Laserjet 4 driver in FreeBSD. It works fine. But, to further complicate things, I wanted my printer to be accessible by XP users on the same workgroup so I added a share in samba : [printers] path = /var/spool/samba use client driver = Yes printable = yes public = yes guest ok = yes writable = no As user "Alpha" I can see my share from XP so I tried to print a test page. Windows asks me for the drivers, which I provide and my test page prints about 5-6 minutes later and most complicated documents don't print. Then I log in as user "Beta" and he sees the printer, can print instantly and everything is fine. Yet user "Alpha" takes hours to print. So I figured, let's make a second printer in cups to the same physical printer and install the same drivers in XP, but this time in user "Beta". Not surprisingly, that "new" printer in user "Beta" takes infinitly long to print but now user "Alpha" can print instantly using that printer. Can anyone guess why or how to fix this behavior? Thanks!

Hi, Does our crontab allow the use of "L" (as found on http://wiki.opensymphony.com/display/QRTZ1/CronTriggers+Tutorial?decorator=printable) in the day-of-month field which would allow for a job to run on a 31th or feb 28? It would be useful for certain apps like /www/awstats to update their database on the last hour of the month since putting the cron job on the 1st of the month makes the software update in a new month and putting it on the 30th of the month might loose 1 day.

I can't help you with your error messages, but I can tell you that I only use bktr without iicbus, iicbb and smbus and it works great.

srandomdev() vs srandom() vs arc4random()
I'm developping a software that uses random generated numbers. Since these numbers must be as "chaotic" as possible, I'm using srandomdev(). My problem is that I'm only able to compile my software on *BSD and certain distros of Linux seem to be stripped of the call. This forces me to rely on srandom(time(NULL)) for portability. I would like to know how "random" (that is, how inprobable a pattern will appear) if I use srandom(time(NULL)) instead of srandomdev(). Also, would arc4random() be any better in getting the least pattern creation. Finally, is there is a way to check if the call srandomdev() exists on other OSes?

I run FreeBSD as a desktop OS, my wife's cursed Compaq Presario R3240CA runs FreeBSD as a desktop OS and I convinced many friends (aka geeks) to try FreeBSD as a desktop OS and that was a success. I have 4 computers at home and only one is running XP, and that's for games. Maybe FreeBSD should only be used for servers instead of desktop, but I'll honestly tell you that it does a great job on my computers doing both. At the same time.

Make sure your cdrom has the correct permission in /etc/devfs.conf (example : perm acd0 777). Make a user-readable folder in the users home directory (/home/myself/cdrom) Make a fstab entry in /etc/fstab for that user (/dev/acd0 /home/myself/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0) Make an device icon on the KDE desktop with that user's fstab entry (found in the Device tab).

/etc/make.conf weirdness
Hi,
This is probably a user problem (me), but why is it that when I put this
in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/transcode}
WITH_DIVX5=yes WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes
.endif
and build transcode, it will only receive WITH_DIVX5 and not the other flag.
and if I put this instead:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/transcode}
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes WITH_DIVX5=yes
.endif
it will receive WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS and not the other again?
Same with all the ports such as :
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer}
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION \
WITH_RTC=yes WITH_LIBUNGIF=yes WITH_ARTS=yes \
WITH_FRIBIDI=yes WITH_CDPARANOIA=yes WITH_LIBDV=yes\
WITH_MAD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_AALIB=yes WITH_THEORA=yes\
WITH_SDL=yes WITH_ESOUND=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_XANIM=yes \
WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes WITH_MATROSKA=yes WITH_XVID=yes WITH_LZO=yes \
WITH_XMMS=yes
.endif
will only receive WITH OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS.
Any way around this?
Nicolas.
