But the IDE is fantastic plus you get a nice integration with webkit. if I remember (been awhile) the license terms are a little different for static, would have to re-read carefully.

I haven't had issues on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT. Thunar is good, have not tried using smb:// etc but I will see what happens and let you know. The WebKit based browser in the project is pretty good too. If you are running FreeBSD on a desktop you might want more apps and features that come with KDE or Gnome.

I agree it's a crappy solution, (at least?) in principal. I had a drive
that stubbornly refused to mount at boot, a weird harold situation and you
know - like you want to throw the freaking thing out the window..
check/mount on cron was a band-aid approach, it worked.

For kicks i'm merging updated gnu and gpl software (that's been frozen since GPLv3 hit) into 10 src (ie /usr/src/gnu and /usr/src/contrib) just to see what kind of trouble it will cause.

Hi, I have four files in /usr/lib32 - libc.so.7, libcrypt.so.5, librt.so.1, libthr.so.3 that are 444 root. Seems like i am unable to change permissions or remove... any idea why? or really, how to delete those files. it's an amd64 machine.

starting xfce4 reboots machine
Hi, I've been running FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT for some months, last time i rebuilt the system was April 20th. I've rebooted my machine many times and started X and Xfce4 without any trouble, however today I'm out of town on the road and when I startx my machine reboots. If I log in as root and startx i can run xorg without xfce4. but if i try startxfce4 the machine reboots. If I try to startx without xfce4 from my non-root account it locks up. It's pretty quick and nothing I can see in the logs... Anyone have any ideas about troubleshooting??? It seems like it's out of the blue with no changes to the system that I recall. :) Thanks Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA ___ 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"

Updating packages
I have tried the available package update methods. It occurred to me to experiment with a different way. I am working on a package update script in Python as an alternate way to update installed packages with latest available on the FreeBSD web site. It parses the index page of the web site and compares the versions of installed packages. If their is a difference it downloads the package tbz file and performs an MD5 checksum, then writes the corresponding pkg_delete and pkg_add for the package into a file which can be edited and executed from the command line. It does not automatically update the packages, for example in some cases the script reports that an older version of Perl is a suitable replacement for the latest version. Also on my system there are like seventeen versions of doc_book package so it writes the pkg_delete for each installed version and pkg_add for the latest version. (in which case we would not really want to install it seventeen times). Does anyone have recollection of a negative experience using 'pkg_delete --force' to the old version and 'pkg_add' the replacement? Would you say it's generally a bad idea to first delete the package before adding the updated package, and instead recommend to install the updated package on top of the existing installation?

One may purchase a "Generic" laptop to spec (without any MS stuff installed, if you so desire), for a single-unit competitive price. for example search "compal" ... i'm curious how the restricted boot scheme will come into play in these "no flashy labels" portable machines.

I originally built this system on a different machine, with different hardware, but it really shouldn't make a different AFAIK. ... But I did just csup and rebuild everything on the laptop... i needed to build some devices into the kernel anyhow, and NOW the usb 3.0 connect is instantly, there is now no 70 second delay. I'd have to check, maybe there was a change in xhci between June 2 and today which could have caused the issue. Or it was just a 'weird harold' event, for some reason it just felt like sitting there a minute.

I believe the files for /var/db/pkg are in the tbz files. if you didn't keep your system up to date it might be trouble matching versions, but you could get the list and see what's what, or at least have a good idea of what _was_ installed. I haven't tried but you could stick the 'current' files for /var/db/pkg from tbz, matching what's installed - regardless of the 'new' version and actual version installed, then to a pkg_delete --force then pkg_add .tbz . it might complain about missing files but will 'prolly function.

Unfortunately I don't have everything mirrored at this time, and not sure how they would fly on 9-x :) Also latest xorg runs great with my AMD HD 6620G, obviously a different class than your AMD HD 7950 but I suppose it could also be considered a 'newer card', first released June 14, 2011, about 6 months before the 7950.

(d-link). but i agree the issues have not been legally decided AFAIK. anyway, i think a BSD licensed FreeBSD operating system works for me.

hi,
The log indicates its looking for /etc/pam.d/dovecot (instead of imap?)
. maybe that's the issue.

I've noticed occasionally it will take 75 seconds or so for a USB 3.0 drive to 'connect'.. at first I thought the drive was not being 'recognized'. Someone has posted here that they believe it could be b/c a USB 3.0 uses 2x the power of 2.0 (i've not confirmed that) and it could be due to some kind of power management on the computer..

boost issue freebsd 8.2 (32 bit) - infinite loop of boost
Hello, I'm doing # portmaster x11/kde4 (per http://freebsd.kde.org/ports.php) The build is going in an infinite loop with boost... this, over and over again until the end of time: ===>>> Waiting on fetch & checksum for devel/boost-libs <<<=== ===> License check disabled, post has not defined LICENSE ===> Found saved configuration for boost-libs-1.45.0_1 => SHA256 Checksum mismatch for boost_1_45_0.tar.bz2 ===> Refetch for 1 more times files: boost_1_45_0.tar.bz2 ===> Vulnerability check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE ===> Found saved configuration for boost-libs-1.45.0_1 => boost_1_45_0.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles//. => Attempting to fetch http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.45.0//boost_1_34_0.tar.bz2 boost_1_34_0.tar.bz2 Control-C to stop and check things out...

Re: boost issue freebsd 8.2 (32 bit) - infinite loop of boost
Hi, I identified the problem - the build script insists on fetching boost from heanet.dl.sourceforge.net -- for some reason this hangs indefinitely from my connection. ie, wget http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.45.0/boost_1_45_0.tar.bz2resolves and connects but never transfers any data. (from my IP however if i try it from another network it works..). Manually fetching from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.45.0/boost_1_45_0.tar.bz2 and putting in /usr/ports/distfiles solves the problem... I'm not sure why heanet host doesn't like my IP (or something else?) Anyway, I noticed I made some typos in my previous email, "34" should have been "45". (boost_1_45_0 not boost_1_34_0). late night. lol.

Hi Daniel,
You probably want to use ISC bind in /usr/ports/dns
I recommend you read the O'Reilly book DNS and BIND.
Basic process -
Install and configure bind. If possible set up on two or more machines/ip.
IMHO it's less hassle to set up duplicate masters and rsync changes from
your 'main' install instead of setting up master/slave configurations.
create zone file for your domain, ie
$TTL 86400
example.com.IN SOA ns1.example.com. n...@example.com. (
2012010210
28800
7200
1209600
86400 )
example.com.NS ns1.example.com.
example.com.NS ns2.example.com.
example.com.MX 0 mail.example.com.
example.com.A 192.168.0.133
www.example.com.A 192.168.0.133
* IN CNAME www.example.com.
cname is good for people who enjoy making typos like and ww
add your domain zone file to named.conf, ie
zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
file "example.com.hosts";
};
reload nameserver
rndc reload
export your nameservers to root ns, this process varies for registrar -
look for "use my own nameserver" or "create nameservers based on domain" in
your registrar help docs. Maybe you can contact internic/nsi directly
instead (?). Back in the old days users just spread around copies of the
hosts file.
Have fun.

(Unless in certain situations I can think of at the moment) you are running your httpd server on a non-public network behind a firewall, doing certain things with NAT on the router, or running httpd on a "private machine" that only "gets traffic" from a public-facing cache/proxy like squid. These situations don't rule out use but could cause 'looping' or otherwise cause problems depending on how your network and name system is setup. It is better to have more than one machine running name services, if possible. Also a good idea to prohibit zone transfers and recursive lookups, or at least limit very carefully. You should be able to set up a zone update thing for your customers, just keep TTL somewhat short, and update your serial # in the zone so that external caches will pull the updates (using date and/or time is probably best.) And you probably don't want the daemon/nobody httpd user fooling around with the zone files or named process directly so it's best to set a signal in your script like 'touch /tmp/updatebind' or something and have a cron job check for the 'signal'.

You have to have your nameserver listed with internic (for .com and .net - ie, your nameserver has to show up in the NAMESERVER whois (note: different than DOMAIN whois) on http://www.internic.net/whois.html) and also for each TLD you want to provide service for (ie, .org, .mobi, etc etc) . If you are using opensrs it's pretty simple to list your nameserver with local and foreign tlds, but with other Registrars - you'd have to check into the details. It's generally easier to use a local domain for the nameservers (ie, ns1.example.mobi for .mobi domains.) but it is also possible to use foreign nameservers (ie, ns1.example.com to resolve www.example.mobi - is considered "foreign") Waitman ___ 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"

xfce4 / gtk-update-icon-cache fails with "cairo needs X11"
Hi, I am doing a fresh install of FreeBSD 9.0-RC3 from FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img on an Acer Aspire One netbook. Last night I attempted to install xfce4 from /usr/ports/x11-wm and it stopped with error: gtk-update-icon-cache-(version): Needs cairo build with X11 support (sorry, don't recall version off the top of my head) I remember that cairo was installed before getting to gtk-update-icon-cache. I checked /etc/make.conf and there is nothing X11 related, ie WITHOUT_X11 is NOT set. I went over to /usr/ports/graphics/cairo and did a make config, did not see anything about X11 as an option, did a make install clean and I saw libX11 in the output.. Think it's ok. Then I went back to /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 and redid make install clean to build... it continued on without further issue (so far :) I found another post about gtk-update-icon-cache and cairo/X11 but it does not appear to be a related issue. At the moment the xfce4 build is working for me, so my issue is resolved.. But not sure why I received the error, might be something to check out? Is there a better place to report potential issues with RC versions? Excited about 9 on the netbook, I tried FreeBSD 7.0 when i first got the Acer but could not get wireless working at the time so i scrapped it.

(still) Installing xfce4 from /usr/ports/x11-wm with a fresh install of FreeBSD 9.0-RC3 / FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img on an Acer Aspire One netbook... Seems to be going in an infinite loop of dependency checking. I'm getting a 'make max recursion 500 error' and the build bombs out. Just to see I went to /usr/ports/devel/doxygen and make clean then make install with same results. Just now starting to troubleshoot but if anyone has any hints that would be great! :) Thanks Waitman ___ 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 least 5.2 would havent tried 5.3) if it runs without php.ini then that could be the problem. by the way you are restarting apache after the changes right? also verify that the modules listed in httpd.conf exist in the paths specified... hope that helps! waitman ___ 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"
wireless and/or routing question
Hello, I am running 9.0-RC3 i386 on an Acer Aspire One D150. i am having trouble with the wireless setup. I have two wireless cards, the BCM94312MCG that came with it, and an Atheros 5424/2424 that i swapped out. I can run the BCM with ndis and the windows xp driver, and the Atheros with the ath driver that is installed with FreeBSD. (But BCM/ndis is noticeably much slower, Atheros - no green "wireless" light appears on netbook ) i am getting the same results with either nic card, and i think i am just missing something simple. ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:24:2b:ad:d6:5f nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:24:2b:ad:d6:5f inet 10.0.0.21 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/24Mbps mode 11g status: associated ssid CUDAPANG channel 6 (2437 MHz 11g) bssid 00:22:3f:9b:b8:aa regdomain 101 indoor ecm authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS wme burst connecting: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ifconfig wlan0 up scan ifconfig wlan0 inet 10.0.0.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid CUDAPANG wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x10961323931B628F844360718A scan results: p00ntang# ifconfig wlan0 up scan SSID/MESH IDBSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS CUDAPANG00:22:3f:9a:16:1b6 54M -69:-93 100 EPS ATH CUDAPANG00:22:3f:9b:b8:aa6 54M -68:-93 100 EPS WME ATH Abujie 00:14:6c:7a:98:ec6 54M -89:-93 100 EPS RSN WPA ATH TDMA chavez family 00:c0:02:11:22:336 54M -88:-93 100 EP HTCAP RSN WME WPS My machine shows up on the wireless router as a "connected device" w/ correct mac and ip showing But i cannot ping gw, no machine on lan or outside.

Hi,
Today I picked up a D-Link DIR-815 and set it up for WPA with TKIP/PSK.
I believe i followed the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook. However, the
wpa_supplicant appears to hang indefinitely. If i control-c it barfs out an
error.
This clones ale0 wired NIC MAC to ath0 wireless NIC for lagg
ifconfig ath0 ether 00:23:5a:59:e1:e4
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 ssid BOOTAY
ifconfig wlan0 up scan
here's the wpa_supplicant that's hanging:
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
p00ntang# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 (SSID='BOOTAY' freq=2452 MHz)
Associated with 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 1c:7e:e5:de:ed:52 completed (auth)
[id=0 id_str=]
^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 20, len 7]: Can't assign requested address
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=4 eloop_data=0x284081c0 user_data=0x28412080
handler=0x806d620
If I terminate with ampersand to run asynchronously it keeps running and i
have a wireless connection - it works.
p00ntang# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
I guess that makes sense but the handbook is not clear to me that it's to
be done this way. It's the first time i've set up WPA on FreeBSD so i'm not
100% about what to expect.
i am noticing messages about rekeying, so maybe the wpa-supplicant is
supposed to keep running.
here's /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="BOOTAY"
psk="PASSWORD GOES HERE"
}
here's the rest of the lagg to set wired/wireless interface with a failover
configuration. this is pretty clear in the handbook but i'll put it here in
case someone runs across the thread in the future.
ifconfig ale0 up
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig lagg0 create
ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto failover laggport ale0 laggport wlan0
10.0.0.20/24
Thanks

So pkg_add fails for everything... Running 10-CURRENT I have to set PACKAGESITE to http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/Latest/ It's been years since I've run a HEAD version of FreeBSD - maybe this is common knowledge. :) But It seems like there could be a symlink or something. Also, I'm still looking into it - but it seems like it would be good to have an easy way to 'reinstall' a package. It seems to be pretty stubborn when trying to deinstall/reinstall stuff. For example, after i upgraded from 9.0-RELEASE to 10-CURRENT, the thing was complaining about libintl, gettext, iconv. pkg_add was refusing to 'reinstall' (but this might be related my own ignorance), so I ended up going into ports and building, then the system was fulling operational, yay. However, it could be that these did not need to be "reinstalled". pkg_add was telling me I already had the latest versions installed, and when I finally got down to the meat of my problem I found that my /etc/rc was never replaced. Either I fat-fingered a mergemaster prompt (but I really thought I was paying close attention), or mergemaster missed it! :) There was no /var/tmp/temproot/etc/rc after mergemaster, and mergemaster reported that only two files were left to do by hand, which is what I had intended. (ie, groups, master.passwd) But doing a diff between /usr/src/etc/rc (i think) and /etc/rc I saw they were different, copied the file and 10-CURRENT ran perfectly.

I don't really see a reason to advertise SMTP AUTH on 25, for some reason all mail servers seem to do AUTH on all ports or none. Maybe there is a way to configure SMTP AUTH only on certain ports, one way I can think of is to run two processes with two configs. If some people are specifically attacking your service this may not be optimal, but if it's script kiddies scanning servers on port 25 this might discourage them. Another thought is to modify the SMTP server to allow one or two failed attempts then lock the account. IRL people set up their password into their email program and don't type it in all the time, or in the case of web mail they make their browser remember it. There isn't a good reason I can think of to allow 100 failed SMTP AUTH attempts. This concept would have to be tweaked a bit to balance customer service demand. You could also use the age of the account to determine the number of failed attempts, newer accounts might get 10 failed attempts, for example. Or you could disable SMTP auth altogether and make a little program that sets up a tunnel. Here's an ssh library that's BSD licensed http://www.libssh2.org/examples/tcpip-forward.html I think you can decide how much user intervention is needed for port forwarding. IT could be something like the user has to have the service installed on their machine, or it's a 'click for email' type thing. A little program that sets up the tunnel behind the scenes. It takes a day or two of front end programming but might be a good solution that works on unix/mac/linux/ms machines. You can have your SMTP AUTH service listening only on localhost.

Can you provide pointers to this type of > service? Sorry I don't have any pointers, it was an idea last night. The concept is that users have 'cloud' accounts, email is encrypted to their account, perhaps (off the top of my head) in a fashion similar to the way friendica works.(it's not working with cloud systems, but it encrypts information to individual users, this could be analyzed for ideas for a cloud based system). This kind of solution might take a week of programming to set up, so it's more work on the front end. If you have some archival requirement or need to parse/key or otherwise analyze messages, in that scenario you would have to copy the message I think. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 ___ 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"

It's in the ports tree. If you want to batch process 'quicker' on a multi-core system you can try dcraw-m and multiraw, which are in gnats pr at the moment. Otherwise the burplex port runs OK with regular dcraw. If you want something more elaborate try graphics/shotwell or graphics/f-spot I suppose. If she is really into photography she should check out RawTherapee for sure. But newer version than currently in ports, I posted an update pr - which installs - but it needs a little more work. I've been recently creating square thumbnails manually with gimp and saving full size and thumbnail to local computer, which has a public ip address. eliminates need to upload anything :) -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 ___ 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"

This file can easily be fed into a batch-process command / script. It does *not* offer any other features, such as sharpening, crop, red-eye, color adjustment, etc. If you use the dcraw in ports, it does not do 'auto orient', so if your wife is shooting with this feature disabled on her camera the images _may_ appear sideways. I have an updated dcraw-m that reads the orientation information and rotates the preview image, but otherwise it works fine, it's perfectly usable without it. :) Also might check out this 'beenie' program that I use to automatically download cards onto the computer. Basically after a shoot I can stick in 4 SD cards at once and the software automatically creates folders with the date, and copies the contents and pre-processes the files. (I use it for video, I realized I was spending alot of time loading one card after another and copying the contents, etc). It's more of a hack-type program, but I've been using it for about a year without trouble. It would likely need some customization for your specific system/needs. https://github.com/waitman/beenie -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 ___ 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"

Anyhow, this card works pretty good on my FreeBSD system: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102017 Note: if you want 'more' than 16bit stereo sound, ie multiple 'surround sound' channels, 32(24) bit, 96Khz recording - you have to do a little code hacking.

A program is doing a DNS lookup and often the IP address has no reverse DNS entries. As a result the program hangs for several timeouts. The call is not being made directly in its code, but is occurring in a system call. There are no specific calls to DNS, its something else doing it. I have been trying to track down which system call is doing it, but without success so far. I have tried syslog calls around each of the system calls I thought might be the culprit, but my guessing is not very good. How can I identify the system call that is calling DNS? If I can find it, I hopefully can find another way to do whatever it does that does not involve a reverse DNS lookup. > >> > >> > > > > Use truss: > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=truss > > > > The truss utility traces the system calls called by the specified > > process or program. > > -- > > staticsafe > > O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org > > Please don't top post - http://goo.gl/YrmAb > > Don't CC me!

Its a plain old reverse DNS request. The question is what library module (probably not a system call now that I think about it) is making that request. Interestingly enough, adding the IP address with a dummy name in /etc/hosts causes the reverse request to succeed and there are no time delays. So whatever module it is, is not using bind. Bind doesn't check the hosts files as far as I can tell. > ___ > 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" maybe try ldd and see if it is linked to a library like c-ares? or try running it in gdb to see whats going on? some ideas.

At least you can set it up how you want. a simple quick-together script running on my computer: https://dx.burplex.com/FreeBSD-ports/index.php there's a github link at the bottom of the page you can hack on if you wanna. cool thing is you can easily cross-reference all the corresponding gnats PR files in your mailbox to the generated port page, i'll add that bit tomorrow. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 ___ 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"

It seems there has been work to support RTL8188CE, but I'm not sure it's available in 9.1. Buying a supported wireless card on ebay will cost about 10 to 20 dollars US, and replacing it takes 5 to 15 minutes. Some of the laptops have a list of 'allowed' hardware burned into the BIOS, which may cause an issue booting with a different wireless card, but it's probably not the situation on your L755. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 ___ 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 you see the iso file, that could be the problem. Also %always% make sure to use the Safe Eject feature before removing the dongle. Its possible to receive a "Finished" message when a copy operation is still in progress Waitman Gobble San Jose California ___ 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"

With ACPI disabled, this was alleviated. So, basically, it will stop working after a while. My guess is that ACPI will shut down the power for the NIC. But that is only a guess. Furthermore, when ACPI is disabled, no network problem arises.
