Try turning off the malloc option that makes all warnings fatal (see the
malloc.conf manpage).

This is a bug in pinentry-curses, but without malloc configured for
debugging, the double free should only result in a non-fatal warning
instead of a fatal error. As a bonus, you will get an all around system
performance boost.

Deinstall the libgnugetopt port - it's only needed on FreeBSD releases earlier 
than 5.x and causes buildtime errors on later versions (as you found out).

You can. All functionality that libgnugetopt provides is now included in
FreeBSD's libc.

It's pretty unlikely that you have anything left on your system that
actually *links* to libgnugetopt by now - just deinstalling it and
deleting the recorded dependencies afterwards with pkgdb -F will most
likely work just fine. If you want to make absolutely sure, delete
libgnugetopt and then recompile every port that had a dependency on it
recorded.

You seem to not have direct rendering / GLX enabled. I'm not sure if
that is supported on your particular chipset, but it's nevertheless
worth a try, since pretty much all games assume/require
hardware-accelerated 3d graphics to be working in order to run properly.

Make sure you have

Load "glx"
Load "dri"

in Section "Module" in your xorg.conf as well as

Section "DRI"
Mode0666
EndSection

Also make sure you have the i915 drm kernel module available (is
available in FreeBSD 6.0 and newer, should be in /boot/kernel/i915.o)
and loaded (check with kldstat, try manually loading it before starting
X if it doesn't get autoloaded).

One thing I forgot in my last mail: Also make sure you have the

It runs using the fallback software renderer (which is slow and doesn't

This isn't an error in KOffice - take a look at the actual problem report:

KOffice 1.5 will be committed to ports as soon as the upcoming FreeBSD
releases are out the door (actually, KDE 3.5.2 wasn't supposed to go in
before that either - however, I forgot about the ports slush and got
folded for committing it by portmgr. I'm not going to again. :)

Technically until all the releases are out the door. The reason for this
is that portmgr wants to be able to slip the tag for the
6.1-RELEASE/5.5-RELEASE packages if the need for some critical security
updates should arise at the last minute.

I have however contacted portmgr again and asked if I can jump the gun
with KOffice, since there's obviously some public demand.

> And does that mean
> you already have the koffice port updated

Yes ... the KOffice port and 60 KOffice i18n ports (and it builds on
FreeBSD 4, too).

I don't have the big diff against ports ready yet - if portmgr says I'll
have to wait for the releases, I'll make it available on monday.

Perhaps you're feeding your LCD/TFT with a signal it can't handle? Try

This is the clue:

(WW) RADEON(0): config file vrefresh range 40-170Hz not within DDC vrefresh 
ranges.

Try

Option "IgnoreEDID" "on"

in Section "Device".

However, make extra-sure your monitor can *really* do 40-170Hz. It is 
apparently reporting different, substantially lower frequency range limits 
and you can permanently damage your hardware if you feed it too high vrefresh

That is a typo, and the complete path in there is wrong as well - apache2 
modules go into /usr/local/libexec/apache2 by default.

I have no idea what exactly you downloaded, but I have the suspicion it was 
not a binary package. Did you extract the archive yourself and did configure, 
make, make install in the dir you got? If so, you should go there again and 
do make uninstall.

The actual binary package of apache2 for FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE is 
ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.4-release/All/apache-2.0.53_1.tbz

You can install it with pkg_add. You can also just do pkg_add -r apache2 and 
FreeBSD will automatically fetch and install a binary package of apache2 for 
you. Remember to read the instructions the package displays after 
installation.

For konqueror, all you need is x11/kdebase3 (and its respective dependencies).

For extra features, you might also want misc/konq-plugins (will install as 
kdeaddons-konq-plugins), for some embedded media support you might want to 
install multimedia/kmplayer and for an embedded image viewer with an 
autozooming feature, you might want to install graphics/gwenview.

If you're not sure what you can safely delete (or want to make sure you don't 
miss anything you can delete), do pkg_deinstall -rf arts\* and afterwards 
portinstall kdebase. 

Once you're done with that, you can reduce the number of installed ports 
further by installing sysutils/pkg_cutleaves and use that to find ports which 
aren't in use by any other ports and delete them if you wish.

Kdeinit just wraps around the kioslave processes that Konqueror uses to do the 
actual input/output of data (kio_http, kio_ftp, kio_file, etc). You can turn 
the kdeinit wrapper off by setting KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1 in your environment 
(note that this option has known issues, like 
https://bugs.kde.org/votes.cgi?action=show_bug&bug_id=88557 - I think however 
that none of them should affect you if all you run is konqueror).

Most probably never - KDE tries to make a desktop environment, not a browser

No, it's _one_ main purpose. Unlike portage or certain big rpm-based Linux 
distributions, freebsd ports does not lean towards either source or binary. 
This implies however both the package and 'the cd portdir; make; make 
install' of installing a port need to be taken into consideration when 
creating and maintaining a port. Packages are NOT a second class byproduct of 
ports which are nice when they are nice and if they're not, it doesn't matter 
anyway. If the package of a certain port sucks, the port sucks, it's as 
simple as that.

nfs creates files with huge uids

2002-12-09 Thread Michael Nottebrock
I have /usr/ports/distfiles nfs-mounted from another machine, and when I 
build a port, fetch runs as root and writes in /usr/ports/distfiles. The 
files which are created this way carries an insanely huge uid (12 
digits!) which causes all sorts of trouble with quotacheck and is 
invisible to find -user. How can I prevent this?

There is no xv-support for RagePro adapters in XFree86 4.3.0. You will need to 
use the drivers from GATOS [ http://gatos.sourceforge.net ]. Installation of 
those is pretty simple, you will just need to download an archive with 
binaries, extract it in /usr/X11R6 and restart X (it doesn't matter that the 
binaries were built on Linux).

Xv support for Rage128 adapters is present in the drivers shipped with XFree86 
4.3.0.

You need to have

SubSection "extmod"

EndSubSection

somewhere in there, too.

Just guessing here, but if you have your ".WAV bell" set up via the KDE
system notifications, it may well be that knotify cannot output any
sounds in your GNOME session because artsd isn't running. Alternatively
to running artsd as part of your GNOME session, you can set up knotify
to use an external utility to play notifications, either via the KDE
Control Center or by editing ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc (by filling
in the External player line and setting Use Arts to false).

I haven't really seen that sort of trouble, but then I don't use writable

already tried everything I could to reverse the fam->gamin switch, but it's

I quickly made a port for foomatic-db-hpijs, you can fetch it from here: 
http://people.freebsd.org/~lofi/foomatic-db-hpijs.tar.gz

Untar it anywhere, cd to the port directory, build with make and make install 
as usual and let me know if it works for you.

It's most probably complaining about a missing Makefile in ${WRKSRC}. Perhaps

Only if cdrdao is suid root, it can set itself to realtime priority during 
burning, which is a feature. This used to be more important back when the

No, it doesn't work that way. You as a *BSD/Linux user were never meant to

4.8-Stable VMware performance

2003-08-29 Thread Michael Nottebrock
NOTE: Please CC me on answers, as I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, thanks!

The subject has probably been discussed many times, still I can't find
anything useful in the archives. I'm running a pretty recent FreeBSD
4.8-STABLE in VMware 4.0.1, with Windows 2000 being the host OS. I run FreeBSD
directly from a real partition, in order to save me a reboot once in a while.
The performance of the whole thing in the virtual machine however is
unsatisfying, especially if I compare it side-by-side with a Knoppix, also run
in the VMware. While in Knoppix KDE is pretty responsive and sound works fine,
FreeBSD becomes quite hogged as soon as XFree86 is up and running and sound is
very choppy with or without XFree86 running.
I have stumbled over the 5-only kernel option CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG, which is
said to help things, but the messages describing it date quite a while back.
Are there any known performance tweaks for FreeBSD 4 & VMware?
The host machine is a 2.4 GHz P4 with 512 MB RAM.

NOTE: Please CC me on answers, as I'm not subscribed to this mailing list, thanks!

Or wait for 6.2 ... although of course nobody can tell for sure that
your hardware will be actually supported by then. One thing you could
try is get a very current Linux LiveCD distribution (like Knoppix,
Kanotix or the Kororaa Xgl Live CD) and check if 3d acceleration seems
to work there. If it does not, there's probably no point in updating or
trying to make a patch against RELENG_6_1, since the codebase is the
mostly the same in Linux and FreeBSD.

Won't happen. Trying to pry alpha and beta releases into ports &
packages is a huge effort that only takes away our already marginal
developer resources from actual porting work on the KDE4 codebase.

Agreed. The QT port has been stuck for a while on the 'last mile' - that
is making the necessary changes to bsd.kde.mk and bsd.port.mk. There are
no other reasons for this other than myself being short on free time and
bad luck (our packagebuilding machines becoming unavailable when I do
get some time). I've not given up on it though.
