[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 ...

Subject: User can't login but /etc/(master.)passwd OK
I have a problem with a login on FreeBSD (8.3-p1)
Dont' know what was done wrong, but a certain user (lets call it
THATUSER) can no longer login.
the entries for 'THATUSER in /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd are still
the same as from a backup
of 14 days ago (no change in encrypted passwd)
The /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db are binary files so I can't check..
The home-directory of THATUSER is still present and contents looks normal ..
Details are *IMPORTANT* grin
What is shown for the 'owner' useraame/groupname for files in that directory?
What does a long-form listing of the entry for the home-directory _itself_
show? Specifically with regard to the 'owner' username and groupname?
All users have quota, but for this particular user:
# quota -v THATUSER
responds
quota: THATUSER: unknown user
# edquota -u THATUSER
edquota: THATUSER: no such user
# repquota /home does not show that user anymore
Other users, no problem
So it seems that user is unknown to the system ??
What can be the reason and how to solve ?
All of this suggests that user THATUSER is -not- the name that you think
it is.
Possibly that some glyph in THATUSER is not in the ASCII set, but is an
'extended' character that 'looks like' an ASII symbol in what you are
keyboarding to represent THATUSER.
*OR* that there is 'whitespace' preceeding/following THATUSER.
*OR* that there is an embedded {char}[BS] sequence.
Does 'grep THATUSER /etc/passwd' produce a user line as you expect?
IF so, does 'grep THATUSER /etc/passwd | od -xc' show anything
'unexpected'?
How about the same checks on /etc/master.passwd ?

Does it matter whether I run IA64 or AMD64 in the above Dell 1850? Len This is a case where I wish the architecture types were renamed to modern day nomenclature. Most people outside the *nix world know i386 as the x86 architecture and AMD64 as either x86-64 or straight x64.

Get cpuid from /usr/ports/misc/cpuid and run it, that should give you a better idea of what your processor is. Although, from the string you gave, looks like a 'yes'.

ok, here is a more taional query involving NEW computers.
i used google's search protocol to get around those of craiglist.org. that gave me a series of new and used dual- and quad-core (*Intel*) bozen for my new fbsd server and firewall. and i spent hours scoping out which is the fastest for the least cost. i had zero idea how many dozen of kinds of dual/quad chips there were. after a day+ of reading, i'm more savvy about that. what i still don't know is which company makes the more reliable box, and i'd appreciate as much help as you can give me. i realize that the best manufacturer may sell a bad computer. i'm factoring that in. another thing i just found is that hp's high-end Kayak no longer seem to be made. i am in no was stuck to hewelit-packard. (just that the hp's that i am running right now are more than 11 years old.) one of the most important machines will be my server. the one that may be slightly less critical runs pfSense. if either computer fails, i've lost contact with the rest of the world. any help will be much appreciated! gary -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 2.41a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ 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

At a minimum I suppose they'll want to know if it still breaks on the latest wine version, and I'll have no way to find out since the FreeBSD port doesn't support the latest wine version. In any case, it seems FreeBSD should not be allowing a port -- any port -- to lock out CtrlAltF1. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: wine: notepad OK, others not
Wine has its own simple version of Wordpad though. Just run wine wordpad. This version has its own notepad, but it doesn't appear to have wordpad. (There's no wordpad.exe that I can find, but there are two identical copies of notepad.exe -- one in .../windows and the other in .../windows/system32.) wine wordpad still works though. It's in /usr/local/lib/wine. Along with yet another notepad, this one twice the size of the ones in .../windows and .../windows/system32! The obvious followup is which one actually gets used if someone runs wine notepad, but I doubt it's worth looking into. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: wine: notepad OK, others not
You have to mount the floppy and then link a: to the mount point. So if you mount it under /mnt you'd need this: mount -t msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt ln -s /mnt ~/.wine/dosdevices/a: That got only a little bit farther. It did find the setup program, and the option dialogs seemed to work properly, but very shortly after starting the actual install I got an error box: VISIO Setup ! Tried to create an invalid path using 'A:\' and 'clipart.vs_' and it locked up the display so that CtrlAltF1 would not switch to a text screen (although it did allow AltTab to bring up FVWM's window list). After clicking OK: Visio Setup i Setup failed. and it quit. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That is exactly what the manpage says to do, so as to have wine use a *device* rather than a node in the Unix filesystem: $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices Directory containing the DOS device mappings. Each file in that directory is a symlink to the Unix device file implementing a given device. For instance, if COM1 is mapped to /dev/ttyS0 you'd have a symlink of the form $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/com1 - /dev/ttyS0. DOS drives are also specified with symlinks; for instance if drive D: corresponds to the CDROM mounted at /mnt/cdrom, you'd have a symlink $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d: - /mnt/cdrom. The Unix device corresponding to a DOS drive can be specified the same way, except with '::' instead of ':'. So for the previous exam- ple, if the CDROM device is mounted from /dev/hdc, the corre- sponding symlink would be $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d:: - /dev/hdc. Presumably this method is provided so that wine can be given access to a removable device without a particular disk having to be mounted. It would be, at the least, inconvenient to have to mount and unmount a sequence of 5 floppies to do this installation. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unlike many others, I didn't really have a problem moving on to Mutt. Today I prefer slrn over tin, but at university I still use tin. Both are fast and easy to use. I just like the split screen while reading, because then I can see the thread as well as the current article at the same time. Thank you so much! No problem. Always here to help. :-) Regards Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use kmail for the most part but now and then some mail is not visible in kmail and appears to be just headers with no message body, and in those cases I use Thunderbird to read those emails that I can't see in kmail. Thunderbird comes up as fast as kmail does. The only problem that I do have with Thunderbird is that it sometimes says that I have the maximum number of connections (I use IMAP) open. kmail never says that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
