[ports] Need help for port which claims to install but doesn't; package installs ok
First, my apologies for previous posts which hijacked an existing thread. I thought changing the subject line was ok and had forgotten about in-reply-to. So my apologies for a repost; I've gotten no replies and am not sure others actually saw / processed it or just ignored because of the bad etiquette. As my mother told me, I'll never get to eat with the Queen. Trying to be a good citizen, not always succeeding... I'm having trouble installing some ports, notably devel/libmowgli multimedia/libdvdcss Running on a 4 processor amd64 with 16GB make -v install claims to install, but none of the files which should have been installed are actually there. I've done: portsnap fetch portsnap update pkgdb -F portupgrade -irRv libmowgli ** None has been installed or upgraded. cd devel/libmowgli make distclean make clean make -v install At this point /usr/local/include/libmowgli should exist and contain a bunch of .h files; but the dir doesn't even exist /usr/local/lib should contain a number of libmowgli.* files; but there are none Deinstalling shows the above headers and libs are not there as expected: pkg_deinstall -v libmowgli-1.0.0 --- Deinstalling 'libmowgli-1.0.0' Change working directory to /usr/local Delete file /usr/local/include/libmowgli/mowgli.h pkg_delete: file '/usr/local/include/libmowgli/mowgli.h' doesn't exist ...

However, there is no package for libdvdcss for amd64 at ftp.freebsd.org, so I need this to work. Any hints on what might be wrong, or how to get some expanded output from the port install process, would be greatly appreciated.

You need to be specific on which version of virtualbox you are using and which version of FreeBSD. I have had no problem install FreeBSD in virtualbox, and in other virtual environments. I use the disk1 iso and boot that which brings up the FreeBSD installer. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ 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

I downloaded the iso images from your BSD website. Please let me know what i am doing wrong or what do i need to do to install bsd. As you have experiences with Ubuntu, maybe you're interested in giving VirtualBSD a try? It's a preinstalled and preconfigured image containing a FreeBSD installation. You can play it with Virtualbox. http://www.virtualbsd.info/ You can find instructions and screenshots on that web page. Regarding the installation of a normal FreeBSD OS, refer to the handbook with explains the basic steps of installation and configuration. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html You need to properly configure your virtual environment and pay attention to 32/64 bit when doing so. The bootonly image is typically used to install the system via network, there are no installation datasets on that media. The CD1 and DVD1 media images will be the ones used in typical installations. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Need Help with a Raid 1 Time critical issue.
To whom it may concern: I have been using the following instructions, I am unable to maintain a Raid1 installation. I have sent this to the Bug group and programming group ( docs/164620 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164620cat=docs : Raid 1 issues) and was told to contact your groups. During the initial setup the Raid appears to be there. But when I reboot, the system stops, and will not totally reboot. One issue is my fstab file, using basis install, does not look anything like the file listed below. I really need to get this going my time is getting short and I am in trouble on this box. On reboot, it destroys the Raid that it indicated was present, before the reboot. I have listed my equipment below and have pasted a copy of the instructions I use to the letter. Your help would be greatly appreciated, as I have a time limit on this box and the clock is ticking. This unit must be working with all software before Feb. 28. Thanks Morris Allen (Moe) Environment Intel DQ 57Tm Motherboard Intel Processor I5 650 8gb Kingston mem 2- 1TB Sata 3 Hard Drives Unable to install Raid1 Description Using the following instructions, I am unable to maintain a Raid1 installation. I have sent this to the programming group ( docs/164620 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164620cat=docs : Raid 1 issues) and was told to contact document group.

One issue is my fstab file, using basis install, does not look anything like the file listed below. I really need to get this going my time is getting short and I am in trouble on this box. This is the setup that I am trying to use. # sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=17 Now create the mirror. Begin the process by storing meta-data information on the primary disk device, effectively creating the /dev/mirror/gm device using the following command: Warning: Creating a mirror out of the boot drive may result in data loss if any data has been stored on the last sector of the disk. This risk is reduced if creating the mirror is done promptly after a fresh install of FreeBSD. The following procedure is also incompatible with the default installation settings of FreeBSD 9.X which use the new GPT partition scheme. GEOM will overwrite GPT metadata, causing data loss and possibly an unbootable system. # gmirror label -vb round-robin gm0 /dev/da0 The system should respond with: Metadata value stored on /dev/da0. Done. Initialize GEOM, this will load the /boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko kernel module: # gmirror load Note: When this command completes successfully, it creates the gm0 device node under the /dev/mirror directory. Enable loading of the geom_mirror.ko kernel module during system initialization: # echo 'geom_mirror_load=YES' /boot/loader.conf Edit the /etc/fstab file, replacing references to the old da0 with the new device nodes of the gm0 mirror device. Note: If vi(1) is your preferred editor, the following is an easy way to accomplish this task: # vi /etc/fstab In vi(1) back up the current contents of fstab by typing :w /etc/fstab.bak. Then replace all old da0 references with gm0 by typing :%s/da/mirror\/gm/g. The resulting fstab file should look similar to the following. It does not matter if the disk drives are SCSI or ATA, the RAID device will be gm regardless. # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/mirror/gm0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/mirror/gm0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/mirror/gm0s1d /usr ufs rw 0 0 /dev/mirror/gm0s1f /home ufs rw 2 2 #/dev/mirror/gm0s2d /store ufs rw 2 2 /dev/mirror/gm0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 Reboot the system: # shutdown -r now How-To-Repeat This is a clean install each time and I have the same results everytime I try to install the Raid1.

Re: Need Help with a Raid 1 Time critical issue.
A link to the Handbook would be preferable to copying all the information. If this is FreeBSD-9.0, then it's due to a GPT/gmirror conflict and a more particular boot loader.

Re: dead; need help reconnecting
They probably switched it from NAT to passthru with only 2 IPs. But that's not your problem to figure out. What you need to do is what the error is from: Check the following: 1) Computer (is one computer having an issue or could one computer be the CAUSE of the issue?) 2) Cabling - is there a bad Ethernet cable. Replace any custom cables with prefab. You'd be amazed how many problems come from bad cuts. 3) Networking layer - is there a bad NIC or switch? - you've had this problem before. 4) When you bring the network to one device - can you get online? Can someone ping your public IP address from somewhere else? 5) Is the Telco in the midst of an outage or did hardware fail? There is more to those 5 items but they are great ones to work from. 9 times out of 10 it's somewhere under #1. Also I suggest a proper UPS and the apcupsd daemon.

You'd be amazed how many problems come from bad cuts. 3) Networking layer - is there a bad NIC or switch? - you've had this problem before. 4) When you bring the network to one device - can you get online? Can someone ping your public IP address from somewhere else? 5) Is the Telco in the midst of an outage or did hardware fail? it turned out that the modem was at fault. the first time, the tech fixed it partially. by installing a NEW modem [router], i was back on. so is everything else that runs thru my switch. (((this time, very soon--say in the morning, my time--i'm going to plug the router into my surge protector. just because it msy prevent another fault.))) gary There is more to those 5 items but they are great ones to work from. 9 times out of 10 it's somewhere under #1.

Without any further investigation and research, my brain seems to remember that is's (also?) called Tab Window Manager. Is my brain wrong here? :-) I went by wikipedia to double-check. I'm right about the original name. At some point after twm was included in the X11 core distribution, later developers decided to rename it to Tab Window Manager because they'd changed so much code. (If they'd done it with Tom's OK, then I don't have any concern; if they'd just renamed it themselves without discussion with the original author, well, I'd find that a bit tacky.) I remember switching from uwm? to twm around 1990 and finding the later vastly more tolerable. But I also largely switched from X11 to Display Postscript on NEXTSTEP or Sun's OpenWin (X11+Motif+DPS extension, IIRC) around then.

Need Help Installing and Configuring Xorg
I'm having trouble getting Xorg to run on my just recently installed FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE(i386) system. I'm trying to follow the procedures in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the Handbook and can't seem to get startx to fire up; I get a black screen when I try. Here's what I've done so far: 1. Installed Xorg from packages per 5.3. That seemed ultimately to go OK. 2. As my Xorg is version 7.5, I next enabled hald and dbus per 5.4.2. 3. Then as I remember, I tried to startx and ended up with a black screen from which I could not escape. Had to manually shut off and restart the PC. 4. Next I think I went ahead with the Xorg -configure per 5.4.2. and ended up with an error saying that fbdev was missing. Don't know what fbdev is. 5. Somewhere in the mailing list archives I found a similar error description that solved the problem by installing fbdev from packages or ports or can't remember where. Anyway fbdev seemed to install OK, at least I didn't see anymore error messages to that effect. 5. When I run Xorg -configure now and then look at the configuration file xorg.conf.new, I can't see any obvious errors but of course I mostly don't know what I'm l;ooking at. 6. The Handbook next suggests testing the configuration and gives instructions for a modified command for later versions of Xorg. I found that the modified command does not work. Fortunately my screen tells me a different command to test the server config: X -config /root/xorg.conf.new. 7. OK, so I try the alternative test command but still end up at a black screen from which I've found no escape. (As an aside I'd sure like to find a more graceful way to recover from that black screen. The procedure described in 5.4.2, Ctrl+Alt+Bksp, does not work even when enabled for later Xorg versions. Nor does Ctrl+Alt+Fn.) I'm sure there are logs or files I could supply that would help sort out this problem; if I knew what they were I'd send them. As I don't have email configured of the FreeBSD machine, I'll have to manually copy those lines. I'm so new I don't know any other way to get text off of the machine. Here's my hardware for what it's worth: SONY Vaio Desktop, Pentium 4 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce FX5200 256MB PCI Vid Card, 2x IDE HDD's, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, FDD. I do have my mouse (Ikari Optical), keyboard (Logitech Wireless), and montior (ASUS LCD) running through a KVM, but they haven't had any troubles being recognized and operating after bootup. Would appreciate anyone's suggestions. Thanks.

If I'm right, Xorg is _running,_ you just haven't started any programs in it. Which you might be able to see if you ssh'd into the box.

Hi Mohsen, Look at the statement at the bottom of the non-English mailing list bullets: If you create other FreeBSD mailing lists, let us know about them. The link points to here: http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html You would need to round-up local FBSD user groups to see if they can contribute to the maintenance of your server and Internet/Hosting costs. Probably your best bet is a University that is willing to host the server for you. Once you have firgured out who and how you are going to cover the costs of your mailing list and tie a domain to it. A domain like FreeBSD would almost certainly be taken, in your case, Mr. Mehdi Halataei has registered FreeBSD.ir but FreeBSD.org.ir is free so the first thing I would do is go to http://www.nic.ir/ before some else takes it. I would also contact Mr. Halataei to see what his intentions are with that domain and maybe work together. Once you have solved the issues above, get yourself some hardware and set-up Mailman for your list. Once the list is ___working and active___, contact the FBSD people to see if they can add it to the non-English list. There may be some legal issues here because of the export controls to Iran, in fact, there are probably even legal issues downloading FBSD to Iran in the first place, although I think that most components and ports qualify for exception of category 5 part II of EAR, but I'm not an expert and this issue has come up several times here so check the archives for more information. A cheaper and fast alternative is to use Google Groups but I don't know if it's legal or not, because as you probably know Google has no direct presence in Iran. Check out with them first before you use that option so later you won't lose your list archives if they shut down the list. -- Alejandro Imass ___ 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: PHP version dependency problems, was need help with php.
On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 12:31:01AM -, John Levine wrote: compiled correctly. Then, still nothing. Typing php at a root prompt outputs these warnings. What's strange is that I _thought_ I had mysql set up correctly. PHP has a bunch of version dependencies on other ports that the guy who maintains the PHP port refuses to fix or even to document. I sent in two fixes for a pcre dependency, one of which was a one-line change to the makefile to use the bundled pcre, the other of which was a different one-line change to note the version depenency on the separate pcre port. He rejected them both, insisting that everyone always keeps all their ports current. That's absurd, but there's not much to be done. The failures were odd PHP bugs in packages like mediawiki that used to work just fine. So if you've built PHP on a system that's not freshly installed, I'd suggest one of these to bring all the ports on which it depends up to date. # portupgrade -R php\* # portmaster php\* R's, John Still stumped. I upgraded via portmaster; I installed the test.php. The APACHE flag is on in the lang/php5 Makefile. Nada.

It means a module is listed twice in extensions.ini (usually in /usr/local/etc/ ) Make the message go away by removing redundant entries manually or with sort -u. This warning should be harmless in execution and usually is only a bother when running command-line one-liners. Unfortunately, many of the php module ports add themselves to extensions.ini without checking whether they are already there. After a few upgrades you may have many entries for some modules.

Re: PHP version dependency problems, was need help with php.
compiled correctly. Then, still nothing. Typing php at a root prompt outputs these warnings. What's strange is that I _thought_ I had mysql set up correctly. PHP has a bunch of version dependencies on other ports that the guy who maintains the PHP port refuses to fix or even to document. I sent in two fixes for a pcre dependency, one of which was a one-line change to the makefile to use the bundled pcre, the other of which was a different one-line change to note the version depenency on the separate pcre port. He rejected them both, insisting that everyone always keeps all their ports current. That's absurd, but there's not much to be done. The failures were odd PHP bugs in packages like mediawiki that used to work just fine. So if you've built PHP on a system that's not freshly installed, I'd suggest one of these to bring all the ports on which it depends up to date. # portupgrade -R php\* # portmaster php\* R's, John ___ 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

If I run a tool like bonnie, I am very easily reproduce the errors. After some research, I find that these errors are often indicative of SATA cable problems. The datacenter replaced the cable, and the problem continues. The datacenter moved the sata cable to a new SATA port, and the problem continues The datacenter adds a BRAND NEW 1TB drive (now the system has 3 drive), and I am unable to format the drive because of these errors: ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=168172351 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=602334847 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=602334847 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=427014463 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=427014463 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=15425407 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=471408895 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=471408895 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=91422655 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=203161183 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=1211817727 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=1211817727 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=37998847 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=309632575 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=309632575 ad10: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=24831007 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=59067391 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=497744575 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=497744575 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_MUL status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=84ICRC,ABORTED LBA=1128895 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=13920511 ad10: WARNING - WRITE_DMA48 UDMA ICRC error (retrying request) LBA=547029919 ad10: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA48 status=51READY,DSC,ERROR error=10NID_NOT_FOUND LBA=547029919 So, the problem has occurred on 3 different drives.

Do you now, or did you once have apache13 installed on this machine? It
sounds as if your lang/php5 port has linked against the wrong apache
version.
Yes, and it is beyond bizarre since i've been using apache22
since jan, '08. i've followed the instructions in UPDATING
more than a dzn times since 6p.m. or so i finally looked
[and Saw] that libphp5.so was going into apache22 rather
than apache/; i.e.:
/usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so. i'm almost certain.
it took more than three months late last summer - fall to
move my server off an ancient hp tower and into a duo-core
dell. in the end i jmay have done a wholesale copy of the
binaries and done many upgrades. hours ago i did indeed have
to delete apache13.
There have been some pretty important changes to the apache ports
recently. Principally nowadays you have to have a separate devel/apr1
port installed, instead of defaulting to the one bundled with apache.
Right. AS of 18may or so i guess the default is to use the
portable runtime libs [pl]. prior to this i was not AFAIK.
I keep the apache22 ports reasonably current by default, and
had not realized that my last portmaster and portupgrades had
gione awry. By sheer chance late afternoon i saw one of my
tabs was labelled with Error...
See the 20100518 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING. If you follow the

I hath donne that, Sire. {it may be a wee bit olde fashioned
to used /etc/make.conf to write such in stone, but by the
time apache22 is at, say, apache3x, i shall be long
departed!}

guys, i understand that it is 'improper' to reply to one's

First, i tried to start apache22 with the script in

starting the binary directly. nonetheless, i edited the

libphp.so directory to read 'apache' rather than 'apache22'.
so the library is presumably loaded, then something else is
missing. i cannot find ap_user_id; neither locate nor a
recursive grep finds this string.
when i exec the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 with 'configtest'
as an arg i get this:

Over the weekend one my servers went down due to extended power failure. The file system reports clean, but something has gone sideways with networking.

Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your reply. The only point that remains to be made is that I
find the 'Cheers' at the end of your message quite ironic.
Being the owner of 2 kittens, I must dutifully assert that there is
nothing to cheer about under the current situation. For the three of us,
it has been a long-standing favourite pastime to watch Chuck in action.
We would miss football (for some reason called soccer in the US) games /
cricket games / movies / all other forms of entertainment, just to wait
and watch for Chuck to show up. My kittens never managed to grab him,
despite numerous valiant efforts. But this never undermined the
fascination all three of us shared for Chuck.
If ever the FreeBSD operating system or AMD processors had a bug, this
would be it. Above all, even to someone not in love with cats, having a
genial and smiling mouse would be infinitely preferable to having such a
nasty bug.
Cheers

I can report that logo_saver works great on FreeBSD-CURRENT/amd64 with vesa
loaded and options SC_PIXEL_MODE in the kernel configuration. Vesa support
for amd64 systems was introduced after FreeBSD 8 was branched.

Need help configuring upsd, sound and logo saver on freebsd 8.0
Hello All,
I recently installed FreeBSD 8.0 on my amd64 system attached to an APC
UPS via USB and a RealTek HDA onboard soundcard. I chose 'logo' as the
screensaver during installation, and put snd_hda_load=YES in
/boot/loader.conf and upsd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
On booting, the sound driver gets loaded successfully and the APC UPS is
also detected (although there is no mention of the UPS in the output of
dmesg). I have the following problems :
1) There is no sound. AFAIK, there is a sysctl parameter to be tuned for
setting the correct audio channel (in my case hdac1), but I have
forgotten the parameter name. Can someone please remind me ?
2) upsd complains of inappropriate ioctl no matter which USB device node
I set in /usr/local/etc/upsd.conf. How can I set the device name
correctly so that the OS can shut itself down properly on extended power
failure ?
3) For my console saver ('logo'), I get the following error message at
boot-time :
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0x81044010, 0) error 19

I think 'hw.snd.default_unit' is the one you are looking for. The command 'cat
/dev/sndstat' gives you an overview of which devices are available.
Also have a look at the output of 'mixer'. Maybe some volume is just set to
0. :-)
2) upsd complains of inappropriate ioctl no matter which USB device node
I set in /usr/local/etc/upsd.conf. How can I set the device name
correctly so that the OS can shut itself down properly on extended power

If the UPS daemon acts as a serial device, it binds to the ucom(4) driver. So
you'd expect to see a /dev/cuaU? and /dev/ttyU? device.
3) For my console saver ('logo'), I get the following error message at
boot-time :
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0x81044010, 0) error 19
Can't help you here. I never use it.

Have you tried sysutils/apcupsd. It's designed to work with APC upses.
Fairly easy to install configure.

Did you enable booting from CD in your BIOS? Do I have to install a boot loader like GRUB2? No. If so How do I go about that? Since I have found no iso image of GRUB2 to burn into a live cd.

need help; cacti fails to build on 7.2-R, p4....
Can anybody clue me in why cacti isn't building? I obv'ly see the stderr's, but want to know What now This is after the 3D screen stuff. checking whether to build static libraries... yes checking for vasprintf... yes checking for ssize_t... yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for XCB... configure: error: Package requirements (xcb = 1.4) were not met: Requested 'xcb = 1.4' but version of XCB is 1.2 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XCB_CFLAGS and XCB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. === Script configure failed unexpectedly. Please report the problem to ntar...@cs.uoi.gr [maintainer] and attach the /usr/ports/x11/xcb-util/work/xcb-util-0.3.6/config.log including the output of the failure of your make command.

That is a fable to reassure the afflicted. A life of hardship humiliates man and forces him to expend all his energy on resisting its deadly pressure. If a man comes out of it improved, it only means that he has spent an enormous amount of energy on improving in spite of everything. Just think what he might have done without that pressure. --Jiri Mucha, *Living and Partly Living* ___ 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
