Re: linux_base-c6 Skype 4.2
On Thu, 23 May 2013 20:09:35 +0200 Matthias Apitz articulated: M$ has Linux Skype 4.2 for some Linux distributions, for example for F16; would it be possible to run one of these distributions on top of linux_base-c6? Is there any work in progress I could support? I have enough systems at home running some 10-CURRENT and could use one of them for additional tests/work According to the web site, these are the minimum requirements for a Linux version of Skype 4.2.0.11 Skype for Linux 1 GHz processor or faster. 256 MB RAM. 100 MB free disk space on your hard drive. Video card driver with Xv support. Either a built-in or external microphone is required for voice calls. An internet connection – broadband is best (GPRS is not supported for voice calls). Qt 4.7 • D-Bus 1.0.0 libasound2 1.0.18 PulseAudio 1.0 (optional) BlueZ 4.0.0 (optional) I saw a post, I think it was SlashDot, that the FreeBSD kernel was not robust enough to handle Skype. You might want to talk to the developers. You can always download a clean distribution of Skype from the web site and experiment with it. http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Do I need both gcc-4.2 and gcc-4.3?
Somehow I've ended up with 2 copies of gcc from ports in addition to gcc-3.4 in the base system. pkg_info suggests that only gcc-4.3 is needed: curlew:/home/mike% pkg_info -Rx gcc-4 Information for gcc-4.2.5_20081126: Information for gcc-4.3.4_20090419: Required by: fftw-2.1.5_5 I'm sure I haven't chosen to install fftw-2.1.5_5, and pkg_info -R doesn't show any other ports needing it.

Any software you don't need you can safely remove provided it is not required by some other packages. Yes, only run dependencies are shown, therefore, from time to time I remove some packages which I don't need, and which were built only to build others, which I do need. HOwever, this is probably a waste of time, because it is likely that they would be build again at some point, when the other packages are updated. Also, I'm fairy certain, though check yourself, that all packages which require 4.2.5 would be also happy with higher version, i.e. I'd just leave the highest version of gcc. -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ 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

However, from the new box (6.2) after starting the dial up connection on the serial port, I can use telnet to get to the isp shell account. What is the difference between how rsh uses the various ip/tcp protocols and how telnet? Sounds like a routing problem to me, i,e., your ISP is part of a local network connection (so you can telnet to it) but your ISP's gateway is not set as a default route on the 6.2 box like it is on the 4.2 box. HTH, Steve Thanks for the response. Sorry about my long delayed response. I worked most of Saturday playing around with ppp and various options in rc.conf trying to narrow the problem down to some kind of route problem. In the process I did find some routing problems and fixed them. But there was no improvement in the failure to keep an rsh or ftp session going over a serial port connection with my isp. I am going to start another thread under the title ``sio problems?'' and try to figure out what's wrong with my serial port. I suspect while sio4 works enough to start a link with my isp, it somehow fails at some point. I think the problem is the serial port configuration. I suspect the swap during bootup sio0 - sio4 is the heart of the problem. With that in mind, I think you are right about a routing problem in the sense that the mapping of physical serial device (modem) to its virtual serial device (sio0 - sio4) is mixed up somehow and that in turn creats the effect of a routing problem. Even if a fixed serial port system doesn't help, at least it will be one more problem fixed.

Notice that the sio0 (with 56k modem) has been remapped to sio4. Also, my isp uses standand ip/tcp (IPv4, not IPv6). I have both enabled in inetd.conf. My problem is that using the modem to connect to my isp, I can not get fetchmail, rsh, rlogin, or ftp to work. They all start just fine and then hang. I have to kill the user1 to get the tty1 back.

I've never used fetchmail myself, but I had to make a number of changes in various scripts and such that communicated with sendmail when I updated a server from 4x to 6x as they changed/broke things in the newer sendmail. (for security reasons no doubt) Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chuck Grimes Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 9:55 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Old 4.2 user, with 6.2 newbie questions I am in the process of moving from 4.2-RELEASE on an old box to 6.2-RELEASE on a new box (Core 2 Duo, DG965WH mobo, GeForce 7600gs, 1G RAM, 400G sata drive). I need to figure out a couple of userland changes to the default 6.2 installation which took about an hour and went great. I have a shell account on my isp which runs 4.10-STABLE. In my old 4.2 box I have fetchmail set to log in, get mail and hand it over to local sendmail to put it in my local /var/mail/user directory on my old machine. I also use rsh (I know, don't) to log in to my shell account. I use my own sendmail to send mail out to various lists on the old box. I masquerade as my isp in sendmail, which puts the appropriate user name on my headers. Ok. In 6.2 box I've turned off local only mail (no submit.cf) and have sendmail maquerade working. I can send email out as a user, but I can't retrieve mail on my isp via fetchmail. I think ppp is configured correctly because I can telnet just fine to my shell account, but I can't rsh. It hangs after the password has been sent (yes you are not supposed to need a password with rlogin, but my isp uses one anyway for minium security). If I am root and switch during rsh/rlogin login to my username, I can get a little further along. I get the first few system announcements on the shell server, and then the terminal hangs. I have to kill the rlogin PID to get back the ttyN terminal. There also seems to be buffer overflows or conflicts between the mouse (on a usb port, usm0), 56k modem (PCI, sio0 remapped to sio4?), and printer (lpt0). In ppp, I use /dev/cuad4, despite the fact the modem is reported in dmesg as on sio0. Whatever is going on at some lower layer, all these devices work with random messages about stray irq's---so I am ignoring them at the moment. In other words, I can use dial-up, the mouse works, and the printer prints (via lp). Seems good enough for the moment. There have obviously been changes to the 6.2 base install that I don't know about that probably account for some of these problems. Unfortunately, most of these issues are no covered in the manuals that came with the CDs, or the coverage was out of date Suggestions on where to look, things to check and change would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I am more interested in getting correct behavior, than I am concerned with security. My first priority is getting fetchmail running. Here is the fetchmailrc dot file: defaults proto pop3 user mailname poll my.isp.com pass x set daemon 840 As user, I can run fetchmail at the command line, without an error message, but it also doesn't get and deliver any mail. I can send email to myself, but I am sure it never leaves the machine. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] is correct---so sendmail masquerade is working. For example, sendmail does not write: [EMAIL PROTECTED], as it would without masquerade. I changed the permissions on sendmail back to: $ ll -r-sr-xr-x 1 root wheel 583680 Jan 11 23:42 sendmail from 6.2 default: $ ll -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 583680 Jan 11 23:42 sendmail I've tried it both ways and niether seems to make any difference. My general impression is that 6.2 has set up restrictions or modified rsh and fetcmail---or perhaps these are fine, but don't interact well with older verisons, i.e 4.10. Although I can ftp to my shell and down load files. Also I updated the ports via ftp as root, and everything took forever, but seems to work fine. For example I use Magicfilter which was not in the cd's, so from ports/printer, I downloaded Magicfilter, compiled and installed it and it works fine as a postscript filter for lpr. I know these are quite a few questions, but any suggestions on any of them would be much appreciated.

comparing the default compilr with gcc-4.2
Enclosed is one of the first comparsions of gcc-3.4 with no additional switches and gcc-4.2 with the flags -O3 and loop-unrolling set. I'll post a couple more of these; but the nutshell is that is most cases, gcc-4.x seems to be quite an improvment. In this test, I did not try gcc-3.4 with any optimization or loop tweaking. Some people may not care about efficieency. I'll submit my own runs of a floating point test, and another of basicly integer and function call tests. gary /* system gcc, no CFLAGS: gcc -v Using built-in specs.

I think you can do a series of successive cvsups and makes and merges and do it all, but since 4.2 is much different than 6.xx, and since that would involve several successive updates it might be quicker and easier to just back up what you need to save and to a clean new install to the latest version. (That would be 6.1 at the moment, but 6.2 is scheduled to be out shortly - schedule says Nov 13). Then reload what you need from backups and voila, you're ready to run again.

Re: Default root password for FreeBSD 4.2-RC2
Hi, May I know the default root password for FreeBSD 5.4-RC2? My system was previously running FreeBSD 5.3-SECURITY. Then I set the option in sysinstall to 5.4-RC2 and upgrade the base distribution. After that I accidentally rebooted the server. Now I could no longer access the server. There is none. When FreeBSD is first installed, you are offered the option, during installation, to specify a root password.If that was done, then that is it. If not, there is no root password. You could log in to root without a password - a dangerous situation which should not be left that way. But, the system is also set up by default to disallow a root log-in from a remote host. So, you would have to be at the console in order to log in as root unless that has been modified. If you are at the console, you will need to do a boot to single user mode, do an fsck and then mount needed file systems. Then you can set the root password and any config stuff to allow logins as needed. jerry Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hint: This is probably a result of syslog sending the messages to `/dev/console', which is ttyv0 after you have booted. The way I see it, you have two options: 1. Do not login on ttyv0. 2. Redirect the syslog messages to some other vty (i.e. ttyvb) On systems where I can actually sit in front of the machine, having access to all the vtys, I usually replace /dev/console with /dev/ttyvb in syslog.conf. This still lets me read the messages by hitting ALT+F12 but doesn't clutter the terminals where I may actually login with syslog messages. Having said that, pay careful attention to the subtle difference of base and prefix. If you really used _this_ supfile shown above, it seems that you have downloaded a new source tree under /home/ncvs :-) 2). then I proceeded to follow the book: make buildworld (config MYKERNEL --this was not in the book)**this should not mess things up? make buildkernel KERNEL=MYkernel make installkernel KERNEL=MYkernel reboot (in single user) [1] make installworld mergemaster reboot no error messages doing all the above steps. The `config MYKERNEL' part is redundant (not to mention error-prone, if you are not relatively familiar with the FreeBSD kernel build process). The buildkernel target handles that just fine. I noticed that you used MYKERNEL as the kernel config name in the first command, but MYkernel in the rest. Capitalization of the kernel configuration file name *does* matter. 4). So I recompiled the kernel by doing: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf /usr/sbin/config Mykernel /cd ../../compile/Mykernel make depend make make install Comments about capitalization of Mykernel apply here too. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

upgrading from 4.2 to 4.10
So my system seems to be messed up (see previous messages). I tried cvsup to the old system 4.2 and it did not fix the problem. Today I tried upgrading using my old 4.2 CD (sysinstall again) but still get many sendmail error messages (but seems to be sending and receiving mails file). 1). what is the best way to fix this? I plan to buy the 4.10 Release CDs, but then what? I boot the system with CD and do upgrade, but /usr/src will not be changed. is it safe to remove /usr/src first? 2). I do not quite understand if one need to boot into the new system (4.10) or not, after cvsup to a new source (say 4.10), before doing the make buildworld. The book does not say so , so I assume not. 3). the FreeBSD book says I need to make sure all the ports are up to date before installing JAVA but when I got the ports from 4.10 on a 4.8 system (a differen machine), I had trouble installing Linux Runtime Lib. So I am confused when the book says up to date, does it mean to the same release? (i.e. I should have got ports from 4.8 since my system is 4.8).

4.2 - 5.2 passwd format change?
I'm in the process of moving users from a 4.2 machine to an updated setup using 5.2.1. There appears to have been some changes in the password format (as in the users are not able to log in to the test system), and the main reference I find is this entry in /usr/src/UPDATING: 2928: There was a change in the passwd format. Need more information. Any pointers appreciated. -- Peter N. M.

smells like windows.
True. Upgrading just for the sake of it is not sensible. However
there are plenty of valid reasons for wanting to upgrade:
- Security Advisories: often these will be backported to earlier
versions, but the only versions where patches will definitely be
provided are the versions listed as 'supported' on
http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html
Generally any release will be supported for a year from release,
but there are exceptions. For instance, 4.8-RELEASE was recently
announced to have an extended support period which means that it
will be covered for longer than 4.9-RELEASE and about as long as
4.10-RELEASE, and the earlier developer preview 5.x-RELEASEs
weren't supported beyond the next DP release.
- Ports: These are only really guaranteed to work on the latest 4.x
or 5.x release, as limited resources mean that those are the only
OS versions where packages can be built en mass. While porters
will not gratuitously break compatability with earlier system
versions, sometimes this will happen. New features and bug fixes
in the compiler tool chain, make(1), the pkg_foo tools and so
forth can also break compatability with earlier versions.
- Hardware support: 4.2-RELEASE came out in November 2000. The
rate of change in computer hardware since then has been very
large. Should one of those servers bite the dust, it's quite
possible that 4.2-RELEASE wouldn't support the hardware available
on a replacement system. Better to do an upgrade calmly and
carefully and without undue pressure rather than having to rush
it through to get a replacement system back into production as
soon as possible.
Now, the question of having to upgrade all the way to 5.x, and
requiring that the upgrade is done in place by the usual
{build,install}{world,kernel} mechanism is a different matter. My
advice would be to avoid that as likely to cause more trouble than it
really warrants. The best mechanism for doing this sort of thing is
to start with a spare system, do a clean install of whatever OS
version is chosen (sizing all of the partitions etc. according to the
experience gained with the older systems) and build and configure all
of the required software from scratch. This will allow you to run the
new system in parallel with the old for testing purposes, and gives
you an easy route to back out the upgrade should it cause problems.
The procedure would be to upgrade each system this manner, and use
each old set of hardware as the spare to build the replacement for the
next system in turn.
Cheers,
Matthew

Your familiarity not withstanding, I would recommend against this. About the only reason to do this upgrade in-place is the utter lack of machines on which to put a fresh installation. The reasons _not_ to do this are legion, starting with disruption of a production enviroment and the (non-trivial) possibility it won't work and won't be restorable, all the way to reclaiming disk space used by abandoned executables/libraries/data. If desirable, it will also provide the opportunity to increase disk size and re-partition to meet actual use rather than following generic guidelines.

Re: upgrading form 4.2 to 5.x
Conventional wisdom is that upgrading over major versions is an interesting academic exercise and an a great display of the power and flexibility of the platform, but that if you're just trying to get a working system then a clean install is the preferred method. With good separation of system, application and data, it shouldn't be difficult. -Andrew- -- ___ | -Andrew J.

How to downgrade X 4.3 -- 4.2?
Hi folks, I seem to have opened a (new) can of worms by cvsuping the ports tree and doing #portupgrade -Ra which moved me from XFree86 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 (meta-port). I'd most like to find out what the problem is eg, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86m=106537114610303w=2 but was wondering if I could work around it by backing out the upgrade. I know I can back out an upgrade to the OS by cvsuping to an older date and making world. But how does one back out a port as complex as X? Is it as simple as downloading an appropriately old version of the meta-port makefile, eg from http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11/XFree86-4/Makefile say revision 1.142 and #portupgrade -fR XFree86 or perhaps I would need to get older versions of all the files in the meta port? Or would I need older versions of all files in all the dependencies also? I suppose I could cvsup my whole ports tree to the date of the older meta port makefile, do the portupgrade, then cvsup the ports tree again to get back up to date, refusing changes to the x11 category. Anyone with hints or suggestions other than 'restore disk from backup', or 'do clean install on new disk'? TIA. Alex __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

I'm not sure how, if so. Yes, you need to make device nodes. Try: # cd /dev # ./MAKEDEV ad5s1c Or s1a, or whatever you were using. The reason ad0 turned into ad5 is that ata disk devices are now numbered statically instead of dynamically. This is a good thing.

Thanks Mike; `/dev/MAKEDEV ad5` made all of the nodes, and I was able to mount /dev/ad5s1e, and relieve my panic ;). What if this system were an all-IDE system? I was planning to update one soon, and will no doubt run into this problem. The root filesystem device node will change names, and according to this thread: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2388792+2394647+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd-questions/20030112.freebsd-questions even if I anticipate what the new name will be (how do I do that, anyways?), updating /etc/fstab before rebooting with the new binaries won't help. It doesn't look like anyone followed up on that thread, but maybe I'm using the wrong search criteria. The note in /usr/src/UPDATING on this new ata code is quite sparse, given what people may unexpectedly run into when updating on IDE systems. That should probably be fixed to include the requirement of doing not only `MAKEDEV all`, but also `MAKEDEV your device` to create partition nodes, and whatever needs to be done for booting onto the newly named partitions, if the / is on one of them.

mergemaster bails 4.2 - 4.7 upgrade
Hello,
I'm attempting an upgrade from FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE to 4.7-STABLE.
Before running installworld (though I've already done buildworld),
I'm running the new mergemaster from /usr/src/...
Below is a log of the mergemaster output; any suggestions are most
welcome. The error,
install: /usr/src/etc/../gnu/usr.bin/man/manpath/manpath.config: No such file
or directory
*** Error code 71
Doesn't make much sense, since the file
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/man/manpath/manpath.config is indeed
there.
Thanks,
Brent
