I guess clang is re-using system headers which belong to older gcc 4.2
I also have gcc48 installed, how can I make clang to refer gcc48 headers?
There two C++ runtime libraries, the old gcc libstdc++ which is used by
default and the new C++11 libc++. You can use the latter like this:
clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -otest test.cc

When the problem occurs, i have between 1000 and 1400 clients

Questions:
1. do i need to FD_CLR(client_sock,socket_set) before i push to a
queue ?
2. do i need to FD_CLR(client_sock, socket_set) when this client
request closes in the the tcpworker() function ?
3. would setting kern.maxfilesperproc and kern.maxfiles to higher
values solve the problem or just take longer for the problem to
re-appear.
4. should is replace select() with kqueue() as from google-ing it
seems select() is not that great.
The size of an fd_set is limited by FD_SETSIZE which is 1024 by
default. So if you pass a descriptor larger than that to FD_SET() or
select(), you have a buffer overflow and memory beyond the fd_set can
become corrupted.
You can define FD_SETSIZE to a larger value before including
sys/select.h, but you should also verify if a descriptor is less than
FD_SETSIZE before using it with select or any of the fd_set macros and
return error if not.
kqueue doesn't have this problem, but it's not as portable as select.

Ah, interesting. Hadn't considered such a possibility. Still, I'm puzzled. If I take a perfectly tagged file, modify it in any way inside amarok, and then try to view the tags again using the command line tool id3v2, all the id3v2 tags have been blown away. Is there that radical a change between the ID3 spec version 2.3 and 2.4 that the tags would be completely unrecognizable anymore by id3v2? I asked about this on the id3v2 mailing list, and apparently, it is quite likely that some of the newer tags/frames in 2.4 are tripping up the older id3v2 tool. Gonna do a little hex dumping, etc. to verify, but it sounds like the probable cause. Any replacement suggestions for id3v2? I've gotten used to using this thing in my little custom scripts. Obviously need something new here. There's audio/tagutil, but as a generic tag editor it's not as powerful as an editor specific for id3 tags. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It seems that if I modify an MP3 files's id3 tags in amarok, it deletes any existing id3v2 tags, leaving only id3v1 tags on the file (as verified with the id3v2 command line tool). This just seems wrong to me. If I understand correctly, taglib, which is used by amarok, does support id3v2, so why isn't amarok taking advantage of this facility? I rebuilt and reinstalled amarok, just to see if it would make any difference, but I'm still seeing the same behavior. I also installed and tried the audio/juk port (also one the of KDE3 multimedia family of packages, and also using taglib), and am seeing the same thing there as well. No id3v2 tags, only id3v1. What's up with this? Anyone? I suspect taglib uses id3v2.4 whereas id3lib (used by id3v2 port) only supports id3v2.3. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: Redirect sound of flash plugin?

Currently I successfully redirected sound of other applications using NAS. How can I do the same with flash? Maybe intercept sound some how. The flash plugin sound goes through libflashsupport, which is a small open source library that allows anyone to implement any sound backend. The libflashsupport currently installed by the flash plugin port (/compat/linux/usr/lib/libflashsupport.so) only supports OSS now. With any luck somebody has already implemented NAS support and all you have to do is replace this library. In case you want to implement it yourself, you can find the source code for our (slightly patched) libflashsupport at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/127839 Note that the library has to be compiled as a Linux library, not a FreeBSD one. An alternative would be to experiment with libaudiooss, which allows capturing OSS output from any program and send it over NAS.

Currently the first head of the card is operating well using the nv driver.

When I go to compile nvidia-driver-173 it tells me that it is not supported under the amd64 architecture. I can't switch to an i386 kernel because I need the amd64 architecture to take advantage of all my RAM and also because I am using ZFS on this workstation, which more or less requires the amd64 architecture. So, I have two questions: 1. Is there any way to get the nvidia-driver-173 port to work with my amd64 OS? 2. Is there any way to get the second head of the 5200 video card to work using the nv driver?

To do this, do the following: * Remove Matlab and all linux* ports you have installed. pkg_delete linux\* * Add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 * Matlab probably also needs linprocfs mounted, so add this line to /etc/fstab if it isn't there yet: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 * Reboot. * Add these two lines to /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10 * Install emulators/linux_base-f10. * Install f10 versions of the linux* ports if you need them, e.g. instead of graphics/linux-png install graphics/linux-f10-png if you need it. * Install Matlab.

Result: there is now way to change permissions of that library. what shall I do? /lib/libc.so.7 is a FreeBSD library. /lib/libc.so.6 can found under /compat/linux and Linux programs will use that one. You should undo any changes you made in the install script. To fix the expr error you have to create the following symlink: ln -s ../usr/bin/expr /compat/linux/bin/expr This is perhaps something the linux_base-f10 port should have done for you. To emulation@: Linux has expr under /usr/bin and FreeBSD has it under /bin, so running expr in a Linux shell picks up the FreeBSD version causing errors about unsupported command line options. It would be nice if the linux_base-f10 port created the symlink above to fix this. For the error about libXp.so.6, check if you have the port x11/linux-f10-xorg-libs installed.

Re: Extreme filesystem performance decrese going from FreeBSD4 to FreeBSD7
On Tuesday 12 May 2009 20:16:21 Andy Dills wrote: A customer of a customer needed to expand the size of the filesystem on a webserver they run, and since it was still running 4.11, they decided to go ahead and upgrade to 7.1. Unfortunately, they have seen the performance decrease significantly. Now, under 7.1, numerous perl processes will queue up (from their web applications), the load average will be in the 40s to 90s, and according to top they perl scripts are commonly in the ufs state, which I assume means stuck waiting for read or write responses. I have also experienced pretty abysmal read performance from the array, using dd...we're talking sub 1MBps. So, my assumption is that something is wrong on the filesystem layer. When I look at the CPU utilization in top, I see that 80-90% is constantly used by system. However, when I look at iostat, I see very low numbers for the raid, in fact across the board. It's a Dell server with a Perc4/Di RAID controller, which uses the amr driver. They upgraded to larger, 15k rpm ultra 320 disks (from smaller 15k rpm ultra 320 disks). They made a backup of their web root, which is a seperate partition, using dump to a temporary drive, then swapped in the new disks, installed FreeBSD 7.1, and restored their webroot to a partition on the new array. Does anybody have any insight into what could be going on here? I believe there was a performance regression in 7.1 for SCSI disks. I don't know if the amr driver was affected but the issues should be resolved in FreeBSD 7.2 so you might want to give that a try. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Excessive letter-spacing in firefox3 under wine

I suppose there are others who run firefox3 under wine on 7.1-RELEASE with no problems, so can anyone think of what's wrong? I have imported fonts from my Windows 2000 installation, and I am using the same profile that works well with native FreeBSD firefox and firefox on Windows 2000. I believe this did not happen with firefox2. Grateful for any hint. What exactly did you do to import those fonts? You should put them in a separate directory under /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts, create fonts.scale and fonts.dir in that directory using mkfontscale and mkfontdir, then run fc-cache -f -v and (for completeness) add a FontPath entry to your xorg.conf. Alternatively, you can install the x11-fonts/webfonts port, which contains the most commonly used fonts. (Actually, I only use wine in order to get flash9, so if anyone could help me solve this problem instead, that's even better. I have tried the available recipes with no success - my firefox3 just freezes.) Try to get it to work under linux-firefox first. - Remove all linux-*, linux_base-* and nspluginwrapper packages you've currently installed. - Remove any stale npwrapper plugins from the following directories and their subdirectories: ~/.mozilla/plugins /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins /usr/local/lib/npapi /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins - Check that you have these settings in each file: * /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 * /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 * /etc/rc.conf: linux_enable=YES * /etc/fstab: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 - Reboot or alternatively you can run these commands as root: sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 mount /compat/linux/proc - Install www/linux-firefox and www/linux-flashplugin9. - Check if the plugin works in linux-firefox. - Install www/nspluginwrapper. - Run these commands as root: nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so ln -sf /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/npapi/symlinks/firefox/ - Check if the plugin works in native firefox.

Re: FreeBSD 4.8: can't load kernel after doing cp -R / to another disk

It turns out UFS isn't upwards compatible from releases 4.8 - 5.5. I'll try running newfs -U from 4.8. Last time I checked many 4.8 binaries couldn't run due to disk errors, I hope newfs runs ok...

Re: wine: notepad OK, others not

With, it seems, at least two exceptions: * Some apps -- such as Wordpad and Write -- are packaged and installed with Windows, rather than on separate media. Are there instructions somewhere for installing such an app under wine? I'm certainly not finding it at all obvious. Such apps you can only try to copy over to Wine. Wine has its own simple version of Wordpad though. Just run wine wordpad. * Some add-on (separately installable) apps are packaged on multiple diskettes (or multiple CDs for that matter). Pre-mounting the first, and pointing wine at the mount point, seems likely to result in getting stuck partway through the install when it asks for the second disk. The version of Visio that I have is in the second category. You should ask about this on the wine-users mailing list. It should be possible to unmount the disk when it asks for the next one. If you can't then that's a bug. The manpage describes a way of pointing wine to a device rather than to a mounted filesystem: The Unix device corresponding to a DOS drive can be specified the same way, except with '::' instead of ':'. So for the previous example, if the CDROM device is mounted from /dev/hdc, the corresponding symlink would be $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d:: - /dev/hdc. but, as reported elsewhere, wine could not find setup.exe on the Visio install diskette with dosdevices set up this way. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the :: link is only used for raw access to devices. Wine doesn't mount disks on its own. ... You also might want to have a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks for a script that can install and setup various packages ... Unfortunately, I can't find Visio in its list of packages. Yes, it's only for extra packages (libs, fonts,..) like mfc42.dll and such.

I would start by upgrading and re-installing wine. You have 0.9.20; the current version is 0.9.55 and I believe there have been substantial improvements. When I updated my ports, the newer wine refused to install on 6.1, saying it wouldn't work properly on anything prior to 6.3 IIRC. Rather than risk breaking my primary system in an upgrade attempt, I installed 7.0-RELEASE and wine-0.9.48 (the version from the 7.0-RELEASE ports) on a different machine. It happened to have XP, so I'm now trying to run XP .exe's instead of win98 .exe's. Notepad and Write are, if anything, worse than before: now, if I just start typing without selecting a font, I get something that looks more or less like dingbats. They do seem to work if I explicitly select Courier. (The ultimate goal is to run Visio, not to do word processing, but I'm trying to start with something simple.) The problem with wordpad has not changed very much: $ wine /winxp/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories/wordpad.exe err:module:import_dll Library MFC42u.DLL (which is needed by LZ:\\winxp\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Accessories\\wordpad.exe) not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for LZ:\\winxp\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Accessories\\wordpad.exe failed, status c135 Wine is not meant to work that way. You should see Wine as a separate Windows. If you want to run applications under Wine either install them under Wine or (with simple applications) copy them over from a Windows install into ~/.wine/drive_c. OK, it doesn't know where to find the DLLs. Try making a symlink to a place which (per the manpage) is always searched: $ ls -l /winxp/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/mfc42u.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 995384 Aug 23 2001 /winxp/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/mfc42u.dll $ ln -s /winxp/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/mfc42u.dll /usr/local/lib/wine $ wine /winxp/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories/wordpad.exe err:module:import_dll Library MFC42u.DLL (which is needed by LZ:\\winxp\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Accessories\\wordpad.exe) not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for LZ:\\winxp\\Program Files\\Windows NT\\Accessories\\wordpad.exe failed, status c135 /usr/local/lib/wine is only for Wine built-in DLLs I think.

Re: removable devices auto umounting

I can see its easy enough to auto mount a removable device (although I could use some help getting sd/xd devices working with my card reader), but the removal seems to come unstuck. I have some barely literates on my systems, so I do need to work this out. Is it possible to use a forced umount to do this? What are the options here? In KDE (same for GNOME and such I figure), removable devices like usb keys, cameras, cd/dvd are automounted and appear on the desktop. Using the right-click popup menu you can Safely remove or Eject them. For this to work, you need to have sysutils/hal installed and configure x11/kdebase3 to enable hal support (this is the default). Then you need to give users permission to access necessary devices. It's best to create a separate group for that like plugdev and then add users to this group. To give a plugdev group access to devices create/edit the file /etc/devfs.rules to contain: --- begin /etc/devfs.rules --- [local_ruleset=10] #allow plugdev to access the CAM subsystem (required for cd/dvd burning and usb mass storage) add path xpt0 user root group plugdev mode 0660 add path 'pass*' user root group plugdev mode 0660 #only allow root for specific fixed SCSI drives if any #add path pass0 user root group operator mode 0660 #add path pass1 user root group operator mode 0660 #... #allow plugdev to access the cdrom add path cd0 user root group plugdev mode 0660 #allow plugdev to access usb mass storage add path 'da*' user root group plugdev mode 0660 #only allow root for specific fixed SCSI drives if any #add path 'da0*' user root group operator mode 0660 #add path 'da1*' user root group operator mode 0660 #... #allow plugdev to access generic usb devices (cameras/mp3 players using libusb) add path 'usb*' user root group plugdev mode 0660 add path 'ugen*' user root group plugdev mode 0660 --- end /etc/devfs.rules --- (You don't need anything special in /etc/devfs.conf.

Then make sure you have a /var/media directory and /media linking to it and nothing related to removable devices in /etc/fstab (including cdrom).

Re: DRI on radeon 9500 using too wide memory bus?
On Thursday 13 March 2008 22:45:35 Reid Linnemann wrote: Written by Reid Linnemann on 03/13/08 00:58 I've had DRI running on a radeon 9500 for a while now, and at some point in time tracking 6-STABLE and continuing now on 7-STABLE I've started seeing rendering artifacts in gl in the form of a cross-hatch pattern of pixels that don't get filled. At first I figured the card was failing, but I remembered a fact about the 9500 that made me doublethink that. The radeon 9500 is an r300 chipset, and differs from the 9700 only in the width of the memory bus (128 bit vs 256 bit) and possibly clock speed. If memory serves, the chip itself had the capacity to address 256 bits, but most 9500s just went out the door with 128 bit memory. I remember at one point in time trying out a hack to the 9500 driver that enabled the 256 bit bus to see if I had a rebadged 9700, and had similar artifacts. So I decided to peruse my X logs, and sure enough I see: (--) RADEON(0): Mapped VideoRAM: 131072 kByte (256 bit DDR SDRAM) Is it possible that the radeon driver is using the 256 bus? Is there a way to force it to use a 128 bit bus? Has anyone else seen this? On further investigation, I tried forcing the driver to switch to a 128 bit bus by setting the R300_MEM_NUM_CHANNELS_MASK bits on RADEON_MEM_CNTL to 0x1, but the problem did not go away. I'll try describing it a little better.. only with gl acceleration, the entire gl context appears to have criss-crossing lines 4 pixels wide that are randomly filled correctly or black, so that they form roughly a chain link fence pattern of trash on the gl context. Anyone have an idea? I can't help you with this, but I'm thinking you'll have a higher chance getting an answer on some DRI/DRM mailinglist. You could also ask the port maintainers (x11@). Some of them are also active developers on DRI, and the r300 driver, or at least used to be in the past. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The %fs, %gs registers and fsbase and gsbase MSRs are separate registers. When you write %gs:offset, you actually get (gsbase+offset), so the actual value of %gs doesn't matter. There are two ways to set gsbase. One is by using the privileged instruction wrmsr to set gsbase directly (full 64bit base address), which is what amd64_set_gsbase() exposes to userland. The other is by loading a descriptor selector in %gs in which case gsbase will be set to the base address (only 32bit base address) of a descriptor entry in either the GDT or LDT. To get back to what you are trying to do, because %gs isn't preserved, I think you should avoid writing to it and instead strictly use amd64_set_gsbase(). But from what you've written, I'm guessing you're already doing this, so the next thing to try is to create threads with PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM or use libthr instead of libpthread, because if I'm not mistaken, PTHREAD_SCOPE_PROCESS in libpthread doesn't preserve gsbase either. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A quick search around winehq.com seems to indicate that the linux (kubuntu, debian) guys compile wine on their 64-bit platforms??? And you know how we *hate* to let them think they have something we bsd-ites do not ;) Extra patches, I guess. Why not look into it and see what needs to be added to our port? Wine runs win32 programs. It needs to be built as a 32bit program linked with 32bit libraries. The ports/package system can't handle 32bit code on amd64. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: amarok lyrics: proxy and ruby?

LyricWiki.org is either down or experiencing an problem with their SOAP server. The script will run, but will be less responsive than usual. With Leos script is this: Lyrics could not be retrieved because the server was not reachable. and with the default scipt it gave me this error: Lyrics could not be retrieved because the server was not reachable. To me it seems that is becouse amarok didnt find the proxy.But with older version 1.3.9 i can, what is the problem? Can somebody help me? Have you asked this on the amarok mailing list or forum? My first guess is that this is an Amarok problem and not FreeBSD. http://amarok.kde.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your browser may also crash when playing some Flash animations, in this case a patch can help you: # cd /usr/src # fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff # patch rtld_dlsym_hack.diff # cd libexec/rtld-elf/ # make clean # make obj # make depend # make make install Then reboot your machine. -- I think this would be add to documentation because browser crashes some web pages.
