Re: Linux 64bit compatability

[Steven Friedrich]

Sorry, thanks for informing me.  It's particularly frustrating since OSX IS
FreeBSD, under the hood.  WHEN will Apple show their gratitude?  I suspect
never.  It's a give and take relationship. The FreeBSD community gave and
Apple took.  They don't even create a FreeBSD version of iTunes.  A-holes.

Keep fighting, brother.

Should I upgrade it to the most recent 6.x and then to 7.x and then to
8.x?  Or should I use a more direct route, upgrading it straight to
the 8-RELEASE branch?

You'll almost certainly find it quicker and less painful to just
reinstall using an up to date version of FreeBSD.  Personally, I'd go
and buy a new hard drive for the machine, install the latest OS and
applications on that and then copy over data etc.  It helps if you can
have both drives mounted in the same machine at once.

There are variations on this theme -- for instance if your server has
mirrored HDDs then you can split the mirror, re-install on one half,
reconcile configurations, data, user accounts between the two halves
and ultimately resynch the old drive to the new one.

The big advantage of this sort of approach is that you get your new
install up and running and tested before you need to commit to the
potentially irreversible step of overwriting your last copy of the old one.

Cheers,

Matthew

KDE on FreeBSD

[Steven Friedrich]

The Newsflash page has a link to freebsd.kde.org, which has a broken link, 
http://freebsd.kde.org/contact.php

I'm wondering if kaffeine has been abandoned, since there is a message in the 
kaffeine port

Changes:
8 weeks arved   Attempt to fix build Reported by: pointyhat Drop 
Maintainership 

I LOVE kaffeine, but it appears to have many user interface bugs, yet many 
advanced features. Is it simply that KDE4 development is delaying development 
of kaffeine, or did the kaffeine guy give up?

I've submitted several bugs to KDE and I see them on kaffeine.sourceforge.net, 
but with someoe else's name (which I elieve means the kaffeine guy is still 
active, just overwhelmed).  There are bugs there that go back to 2005 as 
unconfirmed.  All  the bugs marked as FreeBSD came from me.

I'd love to help, if someone could help me find a JOB.  In the US, virtualy no 
one runs FreeBSD, so I am unable to find a job, even with 34 years experience.  
I have been avoiding MicroSux WinBlows jobs.  I would rather leave the 
profession than support that garbage.

I have 34 years experience as a Data Systems technician, system admin, 
developer, and tech writer, yet I till won't claim I know everything, so 
please don't flame me. Constructive, polite criticism is welcome. I began my 
career before Unix or MicroSucks even existed.

It is a misnomer to attach a release number to current or stable.  CURRENT is 
called HEAD in source code control vernacular.  CURRENT's "number" is 
transient.  It is often incorrectly referred to as 9.  Please refrain from 
such usage.  It is technically incorrect and confuses users who have no 
knowledge of source code control.  Same goes for STABLE.

In my opinion, the real confusion is in ascertaining what you SHOULD be using.

If you want to run FreeBSD, KDE, gnome, etc., as a PRODUCTION machine, yo 
should NOT be using CURRENT or STABLE.  You should be installing a RELEASE on 
a TEST machine, verify that ALL your user applications have no showstopper 
anomales, and DEPLOY the release AFTER testing has given you a great dela of 
confidence in the software.  You should JUMP from a release to the next 
release, using the testing and deployment mentioned.

You WILL get security updates if you track a release, such as 8.2.  But again, 
don't just update your sources and deploy.  TEST it on a test machine, before 
exposing your end users to it.  This is referred to as PROFESSIONALISM.

The ONLY people that should be tracking STABLE or CURRENT are the people who 
DON'T need their hand held for system administration.  If you violate this 
protocol, you will be taking developers time away from development to TRAIN 
you in system admin.  PLEASE don't.

Hope this helps and if it offends you, please take the time to think about it 
before you flame me.

Assuming you are trying to access the camera, are you able to mount it?

I just got the camera a week ago.  When I first connected it, it would 
automatically create da1-da3.  Now it doesn't.

It used to get detected with gphoto2 --auto-detect as  a Generic PTP camera.

I don't know if I changed a camera setting to cause any new behaviour, but I 
looked at them.  No setting for mode like PTP.

Kodak C195 digital camera appears to affect WD on usb

[Steven Friedrich]

I know you'll think I'm crazy, but I'm pretty sure I've only started seeing 
these errors since plugging in this camera.

Someone submitted a fix.  THANKS.

I updated and rebuilt xf86-video-ati and it WORKS GREAT.

Now it doesn't MATTER that I lost my xorg.conf.  The -configure works again.

HP Pavilion zd8000 Xorg anomaly

[Steven Friedrich]

My system had crashed and it caused a directory to los it's dot and dot-dot 
entries. This was a directory that was used for iso-codes and everytie I 
started X,  it would hang.

So I didn't want to format the drive, too extreme.  So I de-installed all my 
ports to re-install.  After I got the ports un-installed, I was able to fix 
the filesystem problem with fsck.  I tried beforehand,but it was way too many 
fsck issues.


Anyway, I have somehow LOST my xorg.conf that WORKED.

It was previously generated by xorg -configure.

That doesn't work anymore.

I am only able to us the vesa driver now.  So I'm stuck with 1024x768, instead 
of 1440x900.

I believe this was caused by the recent xorg update. I had been stable with X 
for YEARS.

If anyone else responded, I may have deleted it while scanning mail too 
quickly. 8o)

motd isn't updated during compile. It's updated during boot.  If you don't 
reboot the machine, it doesn't get updated.

There is also a line you can include in rc.conf to disable the update. Search 
for motd in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for motd.

I had been updating icu with protupgrade -fr icu, but ahavi-app failed to 
build.  I went through trying to update avahi-app for a couple days to no 
avail.  I finally deinstalled and reinstalled. ANd it worked.

I tried portupgrade -fR avahi-app and several others ports.

Eventuall, out of frustration I pkg_deinstall -f avahi-app\* and then 
portupgrade -n avahi-app was successful.

I don't know why, but it worked.

autoconf and automake

[Steven Friedrich]

I'm having trouble with the latest advice in ports/UPDATING:

20101208:
  AFFECTS: autotools
  AUTHOR: autoto...@freebsd.org

  Another stage in the autotools cleanup that reduces tree churn whilst
  updating components, a number of ports have now moved to non-versioned
  locations since there is now only the concept of legacy and current
  versions.

  # portmaster -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268
  # portmaster -o devel/automake devel/automake111
  # portmaster -o devel/libtool devel/libtool22
  # portmaster -o devel/libltdl devel/libltdl22

  substitute 'portupgrade' for 'portmaster' accordingly if that's your
  your upgrade tool of choice.

If I invoke portupgrade -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268
portupgrade doesn't appear to do anything:

portupgrade -o devel/autoconf devel/autoconf268
--->  Session started at: Thu, 09 Dec 2010 13:52:08 -0500   
   
** None has been installed or upgraded.
--->  Saving the results to '/root/done'
--->  Session ended at: Thu, 09 Dec 2010 13:52:08 -0500 (consumed 00:00:00)

And pkg_info says there's still an old version of autoconf:

pkg_info|grep autoconf
autoconf-2.13.000227_6 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms  
autoconf-2.68   Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms 
autoconf-wrapper-20101119 Wrapper script for GNU autoconf


Can anyone help me?  I'm thinking that I'm trying to upgrade all ports that 
depend on autoconf-2.13.000227_6 to depend on autoconf268.

mixer -s and multiple dev

[Steven Friedrich]

I want to be able to save, set, and restore the values for vol and pcm only.

When I invoke mixer -s vol pcm, it sets the vol to 0. Not what I intended.

I AM able to save ALL and restore ALL. But I hope to just be able to save and 
restore some channels.

I'm using:
xmms-1.2.11_11  X Multimedia System -- An audio player with Winamp GUI

This is xmms 1.x, right?  It appears to work.

Build of kdebase4-workspace claims:

-- Could NOT find XMMS: the nowplaying dataengine will NOT support XMMS 1.x

I have the xmms port installed and I rebuilt kdelibs.

Why won't it see it?

I still use KMail for my essential email.

However, I want to be able to use send-pr.  There is a  port called  ssmtp, 
and I use it only for outgoing mail, it allows any userID to send outgoing 
email using a single ISP account. 

When my /usr/local/etc/ssmtp.conf is:
root=free...@insightbb.com  
   
mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com
rewriteDomain=InsightBB.com
hostname=_HOSTNAME_

I can send an outgoing email to myself so I can prove it works.
ssmtp -v free...@insighttbb.com

And the verbose output indicates success. I didn't post it, just stated what 
it was.

But when I configure SSL on port 465, it also shows a good exchange, but maybe 
I didn't wait long enough to see it get thru the ISP's system.

So my SSL version of ssmtp.conf is:
root=free...@insightbb.com  
   
mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com:465
rewriteDomain=InsightBB.com
hostname=_HOSTNAME_
# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
UseTLS=YES

The verbose option indicated success  when sending an email from root.  Let me 
verify that it wasn't my mistake for not waiting longer...

ssmtp - possible anomaly with SSL

[Steven Friedrich]

I recently figured out how to send mail thru my ISP ID using ssmtp.  I had 
previously only been using KMail, and I had it configured to use port 465  SSL 
LOGIN.

I can send mail when I don't use port 465:
mailhub=mail.InsightBB.com

but if I add the port 465 a,d enable SSL with:
UseTLS=YES

then I use the -v switch and also -auFreeBSD -apPassword
as in smtp -v -auFreeBSD -apPassword free...@insightbb.com

and the messages all indicate success, but the mail never arrives. It does 
when I don't use SSL on port 465.

KMail does work with SSL on port 465.

You haven't indicated what your level of expertise is with unix in general, 
what other software you have installed, or what your goals are.

Have you added additional user IDs to the system or just root?

If you're logged in as root, I wouldn't rn X from that account, though it may 
be sfe these days, I don't kow. I'd create another userID, perhaps admin, and 
assign it to group wheel. This group wil allow you to su root when you need 
the authority. If you're logged in as a non-root user, such as admin (which 
doesn't exist unless yo add it), then try startx.

I also tried, as root in a text console (not in X), makewhatis `manpath` and 
it complained that it already visited /usr/X11R6/man, but the duplicates still

I thn manually ran sudo makewhatis /usr/local/man without error. Anomaly still 
occurs.  I'm not fully versed (yet) on makewhatis, but I think (from reading 
the description for the -a switch) that it is supposed to remove duplicate 
entries.

sudo anomaly

[Steven Friedrich]

I have a userID, admin, that I add to my systems to use when I perform system 
admin functions.  I also use this ID when using X-windows, never starting X as 
root user.

So I needed to check my mail for daily run outputs and so I tried to use su 
then mail, but I got admin's mail. So I exited su, and tried sudo mail. I got 
root's mailbox nd I deleted all but two emails. When I q(uit) mail, it said it 
saved 2 messages in mbox. But when I try to go back in it says I don't have 
any mail. There is no root directory in /var/mail.

Did sudo lose my mbox?

Can anyone verify this anomaly?

I think that you don't fully apreciate the task at hand.  When Unix was first 
invented, there were no laser printers, ink jets, USB, etc.

That no one can create a one-size fits all solution OWES to the fact it's 
simply not always possible to unify disparate designs.  They weren't designed 
to be interoperable.  Technology keeps marchng forward. We need to discard all 
of it eventually.

If you want easy, peasy printing success under *nix, choose a Postscript 
capable printer that has a network connection and supports IPP. Make sure the 
priner has a .ppd file available for it. You can get this file for free before 
buying the printer itself.
I use (and love) my Brother HL-6050DN mono Laser. I'd like to get a Brother 
color laser, but it has to wait...

Latest KDE 4.5.1

[Steven Friedrich]

Can anyone install the Fortune plasma widget?

It doen't show up in my widget box, and I even tried to install the downloaded 
plasmoid I found in /tmp/kde-admin. No joy.

I'm trying to discover if this anomaly is everywhere, or I just need to 
rebuild something..

Well I temporarily removed it and this anomaly disappeared. Perhaps we just 
have to suffer until we know the symlink can be removed. I thought it was

I still have X11R6 in usr symlinked to /usr/local. This was done per entry 
20070519 in /usr/ports/UPDATING.

Do we still need this symlink?

I'm sorry. I cut the wrong line from loader.conf. It should have been to load

As I recall, I had to add this line to loader.conf because it wouldn't 
autoload it:
if_bwn_load="YES"  # Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11 wireless NICs

I'm not familiar with portsnap, so I'll let someone else troublehoot that.

I'm sorry, I read your post too quickly and missed where you clearly stated 
the problem.

You said:

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=bwn-firmware-kmod+&stype=all

You should have a directory under /usr/ports/net named bwn-firmware-kmod.
If you don't, then you need to update your ports skeleton.
You should also be able to just use a package, like:
pkg_fetch bwn-firmware-kmod

or with portupgrade -N bwn-firmware-kmod

Plasma WiFi applet

I can't get this applet to work, following the instructions provided.  Anybody 
else get it to work?

Here are the instructions:
plasmapkg -t dataengine -i wifi-engine-1.0.plasmoid

plasmapkg -t dataengine -i wifi-engine-1.0.1.plasmoid

New bwn driver

[Steven Friedrich]

I have an HP pavilion zd825us which has a Broadcom ethernet that appears to be

How do I create a 40x40 pixel monochrome mage for KMail?

[Steven Friedrich]

I've noticed that several apps support images of the user, such as KMail, 
which supports a 40x40 pixel jpeg.

I have a webcam, but it won't take  a monochrome picture and it doesn't 
snapshot all the resolutions that it can display in. In particular, I tried 
the two lowest and the lowest, sqcif, isn't supported by my webcam and qsif 
seg faults. Those would have been 128x96 and 160x120.

I figured that if I used the lowest resolution, I could crop out a 40x40 
image.

Kopete also supports a 200x200 pixel image, but I think it requires exactly 
200x200, so 128x96 won't work.

I thought that someone said they used kamera to take a snapshot with their 
webcam but Logitech webcams aren't listed.

I can take one with pwcview, which is what I was talking about above.

I want to find out what I can monitor with it.  I don't know enough about it 
to know if it will be useful to me.  I'm an old hardware guy and I've been 
Admin'ing my own systems for many years. I am having a hard time finding 
pertinent documentation.

I know one of the ports allows you to monitor the cpu, memory, etc.

I already have a Superkaramba theme that has a StarTrek gauge for cpu, memory, 
swap, network in, network out, etc.

I just want to know if SNMP has anything to offer me...

SNMP of FreeBSD

[Steven Friedrich]

I'm running 8-Stable, and ports are current.

I'm installing snmp support, mostly just to investigate it.

I have three ports installed:
bsnmptools-0.0.20060818_2 Snmp client tools
mbrowse-0.3.1_8 An SNMP MIB Browser for X
net-snmp-5.4.2.1_6  An extendable SNMP implementation

I got a few errors after initial install.

I don't know what pieces of snmp I want.
I used the sample snmp.config from the /usr/src tree.
I changed the name of the public community name.
I uncommented the netgraph and pf lines and maybe even others 8o)

I got rid of the errors on the console, except for this Warning:

This wlan0 is configured to a NDIS wrapped Windows Ethernet driver.

I thought KDE4 would have caused a dependency on X, but I guess since there

dcons_crom in FreeBSD8.0-RELEASE

I figured the world and the kernel are in sync on the DVD, so I tried to

uath under FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE

[Steven Friedrich]

I installed FreeBSD8.0-RELEASE so I could see if it's compatible with my 
Netgear WG111T (this is newly supported in 8.0).

Not surprising, uath (the new driver) is not in GENERIC (oopps, yes it is), so 
I copied GENERIC to LAPTOP3 and commented out most of the drivers, since I 
don't need them.  I ensured that uath was not commented.

Please note, as I wrote this I checked GENERIC and uath IS there, but it 
didn't get loaded because I don't see it with ifconfig...

I added KERNCONF=LAPTOP3 to /etc/make.conf, went to /usr/src and rebuilt just 
the kernel, figuring the world was already sync'ed with GENERIC.

The uath isn't showing up after a reboot. Do I need to buildworld/installworld 
or do I have to use uathload to load firmware? I figure the device already has 
firmware and I'd only have to use uathload if I got newer firmware from 
Netgear.

devcpu-data wasn't so I installed that port. But the result is the same.

I wasn't thinking that the actual temperature varied from one OS to another, I 
was thinking that Linux might have a different version of ACPI or that FreeBSD 
might have a bug that Linux doesn't.

Thanks for the response. One question though, what OS are you running.

The reason I ask is because I want to discover if it's FreeBSD specific or 
possibly affecting Linux distros as well. And if you're running FreeBSD, which 
version.

ACPI temperature

[Steven Friedrich]

I booted my HP Pavilion zd8215us and I immediately invoked chkCPUTemperature.
The first temp reported was 52C, which is 125.6F. This leads me to believe
that acpi has an anomaly regarding temperature measurement. The ambient temp 
was 71F (21.6C). The machine had been off for over eight hours.

Here's chkCPUTemperature:

#!/bin/sh
# $Id:$
#

# CPU Temperature Information from ACPI
POLLING_RATE=`sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate|awk '{print $2}'`

Ok, I'm sorry. My brain farted.

I had set -x in .cshrc, and that's a good line in a BOURNE script 8o)

desktop effects

I'm running freebsd 7.2p3, kde4.3.0, X7.4_2, and using the radeon X driver.

I did, and don't have that dependency.  I also looked (somewhat quickly,
admittedly) through the makefiles for a way it could be optionally
produced, and didn't come up with anything.

If you want help, assuming that people are idiots is not going to get
you very far.  Especially when most of us can't reproduce what you're
seeing.  Perhaps you have an older set of ports?  If you can figure out
where the dependency came from on your system, it would be a start
towards other people being able to provide advice.

Good luck.
If I have insulted you, I guess it was with the command line using grep, 
I am sorry. I was not my intent to insult you or insinuate that any of 
you are idiots. I hold nix people in the highest regard.


I've been running FreeBSD since 1.1.5 (or something like that, it was in 
 what I believe was the very first FreeBSD book published). But I must 
admit, I'm still struggling to maintain my systems.


For example, I believe that this libdrm dependency that I say cairo has 
is because cairo has two configurable options, Glitz and XCB. I have 
both selected.  Some ports have config options but I can't find any doc 
that tells me what other ports might benefit from them. Perhaps no other 
ports can utilize cairo Glitz OpenGL support?  I went to their web site 
and read their doc, but that doesn't yield FreeBSD specific info.


I removed all ports, and /usr/local and /var/db/pkg, as suggested by 
Manolis.  I updated my ports tree and make fetchindex, but many ports 
are failing and I have to go to their directory and make reinstall, 
sometimes I also have to make clean.  I think this is caused by the 
fetched INDEX being slightly out of date with the tree. I think this 
wouldn't happen with portsdb -uU.


I've started with no ports and added xorg and portupgrade. I'm now 
installing gnome2. I checked the installed packages with pkg_info and 
noticed that cairo is installed and I checked it;s dependencies and 
libdrm is there again. I believe this is because of Glitz option.

xorg port failed trying to build cairo, cairo failed because it

So in summary, I can't install cairo because it wants to build libdrm,
which won't build/install because it wants cairo.

And I tried to install packages or the X11 distro from the ftp site
and also from my 7.2 RC-1 media.  I tried setting the Options for
"any" as well as RELEASE_7_2_0, to no avail.  My system is up and
running multi-user, so sysinstall failed to install any packages.

I built cairo with make -k install, so it would brute force past the
error, and after that I built libdrm and cairo again with portupgrade
-fr libdrm cairo.

Not only have I not seen or heard of this problem before, I can't see
any direct dependency of either libdrm or cairo on the other.


pkg_info -r cairo\* shows that cairo needs libdrm.
Information for cairo-1.8.6_1,1:

Depends on:
...
Dependency: libdrm-2.4.9
...

If anyone has a has a test system, where they could try my scenario,
i.e., deleting all installed packages and trying to install xorg, I
think you'll find it.

I have two identical systems that I have mobile racks in, allowing me
to swap out the hard drives. So I have 4 sets of drives, Lightning,
Daemon, FreakinBSD, and Gandalf.  I saw this issue with Daemon.  I
need to update FreakinBSD and Gandalf, so I'll try this again and get
it in a log file.

libdrm doesn't build without cairo.h in /usr/local/include, but it
won't be there until you're built cairo, which depends on libdrm.


As Lowell already said, I can't find any dependency between libdrm and
cairo. My guess is you package database has one or more stale
dependencies. However, if the purpose is to wipe all packages you don't
even have to bother with pkg_delete. In such cases I simply  rm
/usr/local and /var/db/pkg (Keep /var/db/pkg/linux_base-fc* if you are
using the linux binary compatibility, as this is not installed in
/usr/local but /usr/compat). I do this routinely on test systems.



On a system with cairo installed, try pkg_info -r cairo\*|grep drm

Here's from one of my systems:
Dependency: libdrm-2.4.9

Since I used pkg_delete -a to get rid of all ports and packages, I 
couldn't have any stale dependencies, could I ?


After that I went to /usr/ports/x11/xorg and did a make install and it 
failed.  My ports are recent, I'm tracking 7.2-RC1, etc.

make installworld is failing

[Steven Friedrich]

It's trying to install zh locale stuff.

In make.conf, I set DOC to en_something, so why is it doing other languages?

This has been occurring for a short while and I've been getting around
it with make -k installworld. But that no longer works.

I'm tracking the 7.2 (RELENG_7).

Here's an excerpt from the log:

===> share/timedef (install)

I am able to work around this issue by placing WITHOUT_LOCALES=yes in

Message-ID:  <20090221004510.gb92...@b2.datasieve.net>

Next in thread | Raw E-Mail | Index | Archive | Help

The problem is that both of the files:

/usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME

and

/usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME

... are symbolic links ... to each other.

The solution is to remove one symlink and replace it with a real file as
shown below:

rm -f /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME
touch /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME

Now /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a symbolic link and
/usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME is a real (albeot zero length)
file.

And, yes, someone ought to fix this in CVS.

Not only have I not seen or heard of this problem before, I can't see
any direct dependency of either libdrm or cairo on the other.


pkg_info -r cairo\* shows that cairo needs libdrm.
Information for cairo-1.8.6_1,1:

Depends on:
...
Dependency: libdrm-2.4.9
...

If anyone has a has a test system, where they could try my scenario, 
i.e., deleting all installed packages and trying to install xorg, I 
think you'll find it.


I have two identical systems that I have mobile racks in, allowing me to 
swap out the hard drives. So I have 4 sets of drives, Lightning, Daemon, 
FreakinBSD, and Gandalf.  I saw this issue with Daemon.  I need to 
update FreakinBSD and Gandalf, so I'll try this again and get it in a 
log file.


libdrm doesn't build without cairo.h in /usr/local/include, but it won't 
be there until you're built cairo, which depends on libdrm.

make installworld is failing

[Steven Friedrich]

It's trying to install zh locale stuff.

In make.conf, I set DOC to en_something, so why is it doing other languages?

This has been occurring for a short while and I've been getting around
it with make -k installworld. But that no longer works.

I'm tracking the 7.2 (RELENG_7).

Any ideas?

Chicken and egg

[Steven Friedrich]

I've been having trouble with X11 ports, so I deleted all my packages
and tried to install xorg fresh.

xorg port failed trying to build cairo, cairo failed because it couldn't
build libdrm, libdrm failed because cairo's headers weren't installed.

So in summary, I can't install cairo because it wants to build libdrm,
which won't build/install because it wants cairo.

And I tried to install packages or the X11 distro from the ftp site and
also from my 7.2 RC-1 media.  I tried setting the Options for "any" as
well as RELEASE_7_2_0, to no avail.  My system is up and running
multi-user, so sysinstall failed to install any packages.

I built cairo with make -k install, so it would brute force past the
error, and after that I built libdrm and cairo again with portupgrade
-fr libdrm cairo.
