Different languages in the same applications under kde & konsole
I run freebsd 7.0 and kde 3.5.8, both in Italian. Now it happens that if I launch either gimp or abiword from the kde konsole the two applications "speak" Italian while if I launch them from the icons (that I created) on the desktop they "switch" to English. Why is that and what can I do for making the applications speak Italian?

Re: Unable to open /nvidiactl
Tricky but at last I detected the cause of the problem: I had a "acpi_video_load=YES" in loader.conf which loaded the module acpi_video.ko. Eliminating this module with kldunload (and then deleting the line from loader.conf) *** out of the blue nvidia started working great.

Confusion between latex & teTeX ports
I've been happily using latex, pdflatex and context for five years now. Now, because a port complains for the absence of a psfonts.sty file which seems to be presente in the latex port I tried to install this port BUT I can't make head or tail of the fact that if I try to install the port /usr/ports/print/latex while teTeX-base & teTeX-texmf are installed they conflict stat# make install ===> Installing for latex2e-2003.12_1 ===> latex2e-2003.12_1 conflicts with installed package(s): teTeX-base-3.0_10 teTeX-texmf-3.0_5 They install files into the same place. Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/print/latex. Why is that? I thought that latex was part of/ a subset of the wider teTeX port, therefore there's no reason why they should conflict. Isn't that true OR or is latex considered a different port/code with different libs and executable? Please clarify this point. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Advice on how to memorize images
I'm now moving my first steps in trying to memorize my many digital photos (for the time being some 700 pictures but rapifdly growing, average size among 800-900kb) in a "centralised system" easy to deal with. I'm now successfully (but still in an experimental level) using a postgresql 8.0.2 db with its wonderful lo_creat, lo_export, etc functions. Unfortunately I've read in the internet many criticism on the use of mysql or pgsql db to memorize images, that this is not an efficient way to do the job (no alternatives seem to be proposed anyway!) because the db easily becomes cumbersome (isn't that the "core business" of a great db such as mysql or pgsql?). Could someone out there tell an almost definite word on this subject with some suggestions (other applications?) based on real experience?

FreeMat 3.0 doesn't call functions and help
I've just installed FreeMat 3.0 from the ports in my i386 6.2 box but, while it is able to accomplish simple calculations it is not able to use the functions e.g to invert a matrix a=[1,2;-4,3] inv(a) instead of inverting the matrix hangs endlessly. Besides if I ask for the "help on line" (OR helpwin) the following error messages pops up "The file modules.txt is missing from the directory where I think help files should be." I think I didn't configure something but I don't know what (the main.pdf manual isn't that helpful as far as the installation is concerned). Could someone out there help me to start FreeMat?

Howto prelink to boost performance
In an openbsd ML I have read that it is possible for a desktop instalation to improve the performance by using the prelinking ability of openbsd similar to that of linux. here the key sentence:" prelinking... can be enabled using `ldconfig -P /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/X11R6/bin'. This should result in a noticeable speed increase, especially on programs with lots of loaded libraries " (mozilla, firefox, etc.) In freebsd 6.2 the option -P doesn't seem to exist for ldconfig. How could I - under freebsd - get the same result (prelink I mean!)?

It happens that the boot 1) runs smoothly as usual till after the probing of the CDs, 2) then the boot hangs for about 3 minutes probing the floppy (I see the floppy led turned on for the same time), 3) eventually again smoothly till the end of the booting process.

jail & 127.0.0.x howto
Under freebsd 6.1 I set up an apache 2.0 server in a jail working on fxp0 10.155.1.10 and aliased as 10.155.1.11. It works like a charme. Now while IP 10.155.1.10 is a fixed IP address I've been assigned by my office network administrator (it is also in the office DNS) the aliased IP address, 10.155.1.11, is an abuse of mine just for the sake of trying if the jail worked. Because I'm entitled to have ** one** fixed IP only, I wonder how I can use the 127.0.0.x adddresses to setup the jail for apache, as I found suggested, better "hinted", googling. A step by step example would be very helpful. How to set up the jail using the internal addresses?

Re: IPFW & NFS
Well I tried something similar to your
ipfw add xxx allow udp from ${client} to ${server} ${nfsports} keep-state
ipfw add 300 allow udp from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.1 2049,111,1022 setup
keep-state
(it differs from your line for the setup option).
It ddidn't worked at all.
Afterwards, following Cuck's advise, I had a go at modifying the ipfw firewall
in the nfs client 10.0.0.2 (no firewall for the time being on the nfs server
10.0.0.1) and added towards the end of the list, immediatedly before the very
laste line denying everything else
5 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2
51000 allow ip from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.1
65535 deny ip from any to any
It seemed to works partially! I mean that I could mount_nfs the share in
the client, surfing the directories, reading and writing files in the share,
BUT ... out of the blue, after some minutes the client freezed and I had to
reboot :-( brutally turning off and on the box.
Help please

IPFW & NFS
I have two FreeBSD 6.1 boxes one of which (IP 10.0.0.1) is an NFS server and the other one (IP 10.0.0.2) is, among other things, an NFS client sharing directories with the NFS server. It all works correctly and I can mount_nfs all the directories from the server. BUT, I'm now trying to use an IPFW firewall both on the server and on the client. My simple aim is to setup connections between the 10.0.0.1 server and the 10.0.0.2 client ** only **; no connections should be possible with other clients! Now I've tried the poor documentation I could find googling with the keywords "freebsd ipfw nfs" to no avail, I cannot mount_nfs any share on te client because something goes wrong with RPC. Concentrating on the client side (no ipfw for the moment on teh server) I tried the following ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 2049,111,1022 to 10.0.0.2 via fxp0 setup keep-state OR ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2 2049,111,1022 via fxp0 setup keep-state OR ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 2049,111,1022 to me via fxp0 setup keep-state OR ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 to me 2049,111,1022 via fxp0 setup keep-state If I disable the firewall it all goes smootly.

IPFW doesn't resolve host names
Dear friends, I have a pentium 4 freebsd 6.1 server connected to my office win-xp lan. The server smoothly runs sshd, postgresql, samba (to connect some /home share and the office win filesystem), vncserver. Recently I added the following IPFW firewall (I'm an absolute beginner with it) which works ** almost correctly **. In fact, I can connect via ssh (putty under winxp), the pg database works, vncserver too, while samba connects to its local windows share but it's unable to connect to the lan filesystem because it is no longer possible to resolve the host names. if I ping a host the answer is invariably ping: cannot resolve matteo: Host name lookup failure even though I defined "allow" rules for port 53.

Is there anyone out there able to point me at documents where the exact setting up of the easysoft oracle driver ** ON FBSD ** is explained OR able to explain how to set it up on the same OS?

unixODBC & Oracle
I heavily use ODBC to connect to Postgresql, Mysql and Oracle 9 databases under windows xp using Access (the use of it is a corporate choice, you know). Under a freshly installed FreeBSD 6.1 on which I installed the latest PgSQL & MySQL & Oracle8-client together with unixODBC, I have no problem at all at setting up the two open-source DBs odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini lines of command but I am somewhat disorientated about the poor documentation I can find around in the net about how to set up an Oracle connection via unixODBC (by the way, I cannot ask my Company to buy something like "EasySoft"). On one hand the author of the freebsd port of the Oracle client says that his port is the "essential" client that you can use to connect to an oracle up to 9i db via unixODBC but no example of *.ini files for that kind of connection are given. Could you please clarify this subject to me?

Re: NO_RESCUE option in make.conf
I know but: 1) I need more room on the hd of my dual boot laptop. 2) I invariably "dump" FBSD slices & partitions after a successful upgrade on a separate usb mass storage. 3) from time to time I back up my /home dir on my office lan fileserver (or on the same usb hd). Anyway, I'll give RESCUE a second chance (didn't know it was so important. Gonna read the handbook...)

public samba share annoyingly asking for password
Context: pentium 4, freebsd 6.0, samba 3.0.22, 6 windows 2000, NT,XP samba clients Dear friends, I'm writing to this ML because, googling the net on the subject reported below, it seems that samba works slightly differently according to the platform in which it is installed (I read of differences of behaviour between Fedora and Debian samba installations, or even between FC1 and FC2 installations). I setup a samba server connected to a very large *** original MS-windows LAN *** with the following smb.conf file. The aim is to put in a public read- only share all the programs we need to share. Now, the problem is that at boot time - after logging in the MS-windows client - windows 2000 or NT clients present the user with a pop-up window asking for a password to connect to the public share (I created the 'pcguest' freebsd user as a passwordless user and to 'smbpasswd pcguest' I didn't provide any password at all!). Clicking on OK the share is immediatedly connected and it all works. Nonetheless the pop-up window asking for a password is somewhat disturbing. By the way, windows XP clients don't seem to suffer from the same problem. They connect to the share smoothly, without asking anything as expected! Any idea to solve the problem?

Problems with locale & entropy (what's that?)
On a (mainly) postgresql pentium 4 server at office I upgraded freebsd 5.4 to 6 by means of a CD with the standard ISO downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org (I can't use any alternative means becuase of the tight rules of security of our network). I tailored and compiled the kernel and upgraded the system by the usual commands: make buildword boot mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster boot The locale is Italian and the system speaks Italian, for instance mc. Not it happens that when launching 010.pgsql start, apache.sh start, etc. they all start issuing the following warning --: not found Besides, after upgrading to 6, I go on receiving each 11 minutes the following email Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 18:00:00 +0100 (CET) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /usr/libexec/save-entropy X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron- Env: X-Cron-Env: --: not found /var/log/messages doesn't say anything related to this.

Problems with pgsql 8.0.4 & freebsd 6: partially solved
I have been using a postgresql 8.0.4 server under freebsd 5.4 like a charm for a long time . Yesterday, I upgraded freebsd from 5.4 to 6 via the CD (the iso was downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org). Restating postgresql it happened: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start --: not found FATAL: XX000: failed to initialize lc_messages to "" LOCATION: InitializeGUCOptions, guc.c:3699 # And the server was down After many attempts I discovered that the problem was connected to the "setenv LC_ALL it_IT.ISO_8859-1" I had introduced in /usr/local/pgsql/. cshrc which corrupted something in the system and, even removing the line, 010.pgsql.sh went on failing to start the server Having pg_dumped the data before the upgrading to 6, I have solved the problem by 1) eliminating the /usr/local/pgsql/data directory (BY THE WAY, remember to backup the pgsql *.conf files somewhere!!); 2) deinstalling the postgresql 8.0.4 server by means of "make deinstall"; 3) removing the pgsql user; 4) reinstalling the postgresql 8.0.4 server; 5) copying the *.conf files under the data directory 6) pg_restoring the data Now, of course I have left unmodified the .cshrc file (take notice that any attempt of modyfying the locale corrupts the postgresql server and you should start with a new reinstallation! I failed both adding a line "setenv LC_ALL it_IT.ISO_8859-1" and "setenv LC_ALL it_IT.ISO8859-1") Now it all works even though an inoffensive warning comes up # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start --: not found Is there anything else I could do?

R: Re: [R] RODBC fails to build
Dear All, Thanks to the suggestion of Prof Ripley I progressively solved the many libraries problems connected to the installation of the R package RODBC under FreeBSD 5.4. *** As far as this OS is concerned *** please take notice that the sentence in the README file:". Use the configure options --with-odbc-include and --with-odbc-lib or environment variables ODBC_INCLUDE and ODBC_LIBS to set the include and library paths as needed" doesn't give a complete piece of info. As a matter of fact, as well as setting $ODBC_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include and $ODBC_LIBS=/usr/local/lib I had also to put ** $LIBS=- L/usr/local/lib ** which wasn't in the README (and wasn't that intuitive, was it?). In so doing I solved the sql.h, sqlext.h headers problem and a successive problem with the SQLTables libraries. This set things straight and RODBC was compiled flawlessly. I think it would be worth your while adding this piece of information in the README file.

Compaq Evo 510 PC & DMA
Some time ago I had posted a problem I was suffering trying to install freebsd 5.4 on a Compaq evo 510 PC. The boot immediatedly stopped with weird indications on the causes. Freesbie also failed. Surfing the net I understood that the problem with that specific PC was already known and no real solution was proposed. Today I came across http://www. czaplinski.net/FreeBSD/hpi386.html in which it was suggested that EVO 510 CPU: 2.8 GHz P4; 1024MB RAM; i810 Intel integrated NIC (recognized as EEPro100); i845 Intel integrated video...FreeBSD 5.1 loads, but only after DMA is disabled in BIOS. In fact, disabling the bios dma I was able to start both freesbie and the 5.4 installation CD! Not being a PC expert but knowing that dma is useful to significantly reduce the load of the CPU when I/O operations are in progress and my question is: Having disabled the bios dma, Is dma (re-)enabled all the same in some way by freebsd 5.4 when it boots OR will I have a "crippled" system at my disposal? Take into account that the pc will work as a postgresql server. Suggestions?

Well, as a matter of fact I'm obliged at wok to use windows but my pet OS are both BSDs. In my freebsd portable I have xemacs that is "sensitive" to many environments (I use it for the statiscal program R and for pdflatex) among which C++ . In fact the C++ program I edit triggers a C++ menu and many options among which there are also debug and compile. This latter unfortunately calls a "make -k" command while I'd like to run "g++ prog.c -g -o prog" as usual. Could someone explain what shoujld I do to modify xemacs as I want?

Is dump different?
I have a new desktop with netbsd 2.0.2 and a portable with freebsd 5.4 (my pet OS but it didn't boot on the compaq evo 510 box; therefore netbsd!). Now, I had dumped my previous old desktop with freebsd 5.4 to a samba share and then tried to restore some files interactively with "restore -i -f mydumfile" ont the new box but restore (under netbsd) complained that there was no root directory and i couldn't restore anything (e.g. ls didn't show anything). My question is: the dump programs in netbsd & in freebsd are different in some way, I mean structurally different therefore somewhat incompatible in the two OSs?

Weird incompatibility of compaq evo 510 PCs
At office I have an old compaq 450 (p3, 450MHz,128MB) working as a postgresql 8.03 server under freebsd 5.4. Now having the chance of substituting it with a newer Compaq Evo 510 (p4,2,8 GHz, 512MB) to be on the safe side I tested this new pc trying to run freesbie 1.1 on it from a CD. Unfortunately after showing the usual line with [EMAIL PROTECTED]'amico etc.. a cryptic message of fatal error popped up saying something like: int=000d err= efl=00030246 eip=3034 eax=205d ebx=0004 etc, etc. Furthermore, identical diagnostics popped up trying to boot FreeBSD from the primary hd of the old pc mounted on this new one. Thinking that there was something wrong with that specific box only I tried: a) to boot freesbie on other compaq evo 510 in my office but all of them failed to boot with the same (or similar??) diagnostics; b) the freesbie cd is ok having tested it on other boxes; b) using a cd for the installation of M$ windows on the evo 510 it all works like a charm and everything is installed. My questions are: 1) Is this a known incompatibility of the Compaq evo 510 PCs ( a search in the internet didn't shed any light on it!); 2) Is there any way to overcome the problem and how?

Java plugin & konqueror: too many choices...
Well, I'm somewhat disorientated by the number of programs available under /usr/ports/java. What I simpy want is a java plugin for konqueror to be loaded when I surf the net with this browser (of course, I enabled the java support under the browser). The simpler, the better! What do you recommend for konqueror?

portsdb & portsnap
I'm having a go at using portsnap on my fbsd 5.4 notebook instead of cvsup to update the ports. With the latter under the /usr/ports dir I issue "make update" and "portsdb -uU" and finally "portupgrade -arR". Now, using portsnap it seems to me that after "update" the program itself refreshes the db. In fact if I issue "portversion -l "<" " a list of upgradable packages pops up. Therefore I'm concluding that after portsnap fetch, update, there's no need for a "portsdb -uU". Am I right or missing something (which is actually my feeling!)?

Updating freebsd without cvsup
At office I have a freebsd 5.4 server to run postgresql. I'd like to update the ports in it from time to time but cvsup doesn't seem to work behind our proxy. In fact, in make.conf I have the following two lines: FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080 FETCH_ENV = FTP_PROXY=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080 which work smoothly when I compile a port via "make install clean" downloading the needed sources BUT they seem to be useless when cvsup is used. No way of reaching the cvsup server because unknown (is the same I use succesfully at home with an adsl connection!)! Is there another alternative way of defining the proxy OR any other way of getting a new source three to be copied to the server, e.g., by means of a cd burnt at home?

The open-source software I'm looking for should: 1) manage the pci board & the cameras; 2) start,trigger a script for, e.g., a gsm connection to transmit images to a remote server via ppp OR start an alarm *** whener a motion is detected ***.

Oracle odbc
I need to connect my freebsd 5.4 box to an oracle 9 db to query it by means of perl or the statistical software R. How could I set up this odbc connection (I already installed unixODBC, but what next and how to set it up)? Have you any doc to suggest ( I was unable to find anything interesting googling!)?
