| error with src update Adam Sean 19:37:09 |
| | Hi,
I got the following error when I tried to update / checkout the source
with cvs:
# cvs co -r RELENG_6_STABLE src
cvs checkout: cannot find module `src' - ignored
I have already defined/created a checkout path as follow:
# echo $CVSROOT
/usr/local/ncvs
What have I missed in the process?
Thanks

| Problem with cups and openldap Mike Clarke 19:31:41 |
| | I'm unable to start the cups daemon on my FreeBSD 6.1 system due to missing
libldap-2.2.so.7:
kestrel:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# ./cupsd start
Starting cupsd.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libldap-2.2.so.7" not found, required
by "cupsd"
The odd thing is that this doesn't appear to be dependency:
kestrel:/root# pkg_info -r cups-1.2.0 cups-base-1.2.0_2
Information for cups-1.2.0:
Depends on:
Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2
Dependency: jpeg-6b_4
Dependency: png-1.2.12_1
Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3
Dependency: perl-5.8.8
Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2
Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2
Dependency: libgpg-error-1.3
Dependency: libdrm-2.0.2

Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0
Dependency: ghostscript-gnu-7.07_15
Dependency: cups-base-1.2.0_2

But it certainly needs it:
kestrel:/root# ldd /usr/local/sbin/cupsd
/usr/local/sbin/cupsd:
libz.so.3 => /lib/libz.so.3 (0x280bb000)

libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x282d2000)
I have openldap-client-2.3.24 installed and it's needed by several packages
(en-openoffice.org-GB-2.0.3, kdeartwork-3.5.3, kdebase-3.5.3_4,
kdeutils-3.5.3 and librsvg2-2.14.4) so replacing it with
openldap-client-2.2.30 doesn't appear to be an option.
How do I get round this?

| Is samba available any more for 6.1? Tim 14:11:17 |
| |
Hi, I've a few months ago upgraded from 5.4 to 6.1 and have only just
recently tried to reinstall SAMBA on my 6.1 system, but it seems this is
not possible!?
Attempting to installing samba (samba-2.2.12) gives):
===> samba-2.2.12_2 is forbidden:
http://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/3b3676be-52e1-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82.html.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/samba.
And attempting to install samba3 (samba-3.0.23), which I used to use on
5.4, gives:
===> samba-3.0.23,1 broken kernel API until now (7-CURRENT).
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/samba3.
Is there anything I can do except revert back to 5.4 and then jump to 7
when it's released?
Hope it's not this difficult! 
Cheers,
Tim

Thanks. I've been dealing with everything but computers the last several
days.
And the final solution is:
*Both* bg and intr should be used. Without bg, the system will wait
forever for the nfs mounts on boot. The intr lets things behave when
another system goes down.

| Multiple local networks and IPSEC Bert Moorthaemer 05:48:15 |
| | Hi all!
I'm setting up IPSEC at the moment. Although I have no problems to setup
IPSEC between two endpoints and accessing the local network behind it, I
can't seem to find an example on how to setup IPSEC to be able to access
more than one local network behind an IPSEC gateway. The example given in
the FreeBSD manual doesn't mention it and I can't seem to find anything on
the net.
e.g. local-net-1 <-> router/switch <-> local-net-2 <-> BSD gateway #1 <=
Internet => BSD gateway #2 <-> local-net-3
In this situation in need to access local-net-1 from local-net-3
Q: How do I setup IPSEC (in combination with ipsec-tools) to accomplish
this?
TIA
Bert.

Sorry for the length of this message, I didn't want to add a lot of
attachments..
BTW, I'm using 5.2.1-RELEASE right now, everything works perfectly. I
had configured both 5.2.1 and 5.3 the same, if there were differences,
it is in the default configuration.

I can do a

on either Box1 or Box2 and I can even "see" the other Box when
doing a
# ifconfig ndis0 up scan
on the other one. But as soon as I do a
# ifconfig ndis0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxy ssid MYNET mediaopt adhoc
on the other box, Box2 (the Laptop) crashes with a kernel panic
in "Windows Workitem 1".
It doesn't matter which machine configures its interface first.
Even when I first set the IP on the interface on Box2 and after
that on Box1, Box2 crashes.
Any hints?

| Problem with "ifhp" script (not the executable with the same name) Frank Durda IV 12:07:45 |
| | I recently upgraded a system from FreeBSD 4.10 to 6.1 and one of the
things that broke was the script /usr/local/libexec/ifhp, which
I picked up from one of several places on the net, including this
newsgroup.
Unlike the binary executable "ifhp" (the port) which usually sits in
/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp and assumes your printer is capable of
Postscript, /usr/local/libexec/ifhp is a shell script that invokes
ghostscript and lets it do PostScript to PCL conversions for those of
us who have cheaper printers that do not have embedded Postscript
processing capability.
I have used this script for a couple of years as a if= filter and it
has worked fine. However, on upgrading to FreeBSD 6.1, the script
no longer works. The problems appears to lie in the bit of magic
the script does to force the results to stdout (for the pipe) while
forcing debug information from ghostscript somewhere other than stdout
(where it normally goes) so that the actual printer data doesn't get
mixed up with the Ghostscript commentary about the postscript code it is
reading.
A typical /var/log/lpd-errs entry is:
Error: /invalidfileaccess in --.outputpage--
Operand stack:
1 true
Execution stack:

GNU Ghostscript 7.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Jul 31 12:21:45 nemesis lpd[22890]: lp2: job could not be printed (cfA274nemesis.lonestar.org)
Error 45 is:
#define EOPNOTSUPP 45 /* Operation not supported */
The key part of the script in question is:
#!/bin/sh
...
if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
#
# It is PostScript; use Ghostscript to scan-convert and print it.
#
# Note that PostScript files are actually interpreted programs,
# and those programs are allowed to write to stdout, which will
# mess up the printed output. So, we redirect stdout to stderr
# and then make descriptor 3 go to stdout, and have Ghostscript
# write its output there. Exercise for the clever reader:
# capture the stderr output from Ghostscript and mail it back to
# the user originating the print job.
#
exec 3>&1 1>&2
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=djet500 \
-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - && exit 0
else
...
If you run the Ghostscript command by hand, eg
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=djet500 -sOutputFile=/tmp/out1.pcl < /tmp/in1.ps >& /tmp/out2.log
the command shown works and /tmp/out1.pcl has the desired results in it
and /tmp/out2.log has the normal ghostscript complaint information
which can be discarded.
However, the scripted syntax fails FreeBSD 6.x (and perhaps 5.x),
probably because of the reference to /dev/fd/3.
Since this is a pipe filter, the PCL data must be emitted on stdout,
minus any other trivia Ghostscript feels compelled to report on stdout.
Is there a substitute tactic that would achieve the same results that
works under 6.1 other than using a temp file and cat-ing that to the pipe?
The original and complete ifhp script follows.

| APM not working on old hardware Paulo Costa 06:26:59 |
| | Hello everyone;
I have a couple of old computers which I use for access control to the
Internet through Squid and SquidGuard.
These computers both have slot 1 based motherboards and only one of them
mentions ACPI in it's BIOS settings. ACPI seems to be a no-go since the
output of 'dmesg' claims the BIOS is blacklisted and ACPI was disabled, on
both computers.
I added 'hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"' to prevent any ACPI code from being
loaded, along with 'load_apm="yes"'. Also tried to compile a new kernel with
'device apm' but to no avail. Under no circumstance did a apm device show up
in the output of 'dmesg' nor the correspondent node devices under '/dev'
created.
Those motherboards are FIC VL-601 (Intel LX chipset) and DFI PB61 (VIA
Apollo chipset); I also tried the viapm module on the latter: while new
devices do show up, functionality does not. 'halt -p' just hangs the machine
after the power off message.
BIOS is the latest on both boards.
I'd like to hear from anyone who managed to get apm working on such hardware
since I'm clueless as what to do now...
Thanks in advance
Paulo Costa

| Portupgrade needs updating Bert Moorthaemer 11:28:39 |
| | Hi!
I'd like to know if it's problematic when updating portupgrade by using
portupgrade ... It seems a little bit strange to me that a port can be
updated using itself as the updater.
TIA
Bert.

| HOME full - unable to boot John Richards 08:35:13 |
| | I had a lovely installation of FreeBSD, but rashly tried to compile the
OpenOffice.org port with insufficient space/memory. It failed from lack
of sdpace and when I try to boot now I just get a HOME full, cannot boot
error.
The problem is compounded by the double facts that I had set it to boot
straight into KDM - and that it is booting from a Linux grub chainloader
command.
Is there any way I can get at it to clear the HOME slice?
I don't suppose there is a BSD equivalent of Knoppix!! - ?
Any help would be very gratefully received.

| Back to slow-loading gnucash again Guest 08:12:40 |
| | All,
I'm running gnucash-1.8.12 on a 6.1P3 box. It used to have the
'slow-loading' issue but some googling found an answer and a re-compile
from ports fixed everything. A few days ago I tried to load it and the
problem was back; I suspect a port I built had installed something new
(like guile, or slib or...something) that 'broke' the gnucash install.
I thought this would be a quick fix, but what I thought was the correct
pre-build command: env "libltdl_cv_sys_dlopen_deplibs=yes" doesn't seem
to work. Either I have the wrong command or the wrong argument or it's
not just gnucash that needs to be re-built here. Can anybody give me
the correct command for this and what all needs to be re-compiled after
applying it? I'm not happy that I didn't write it down the first time I
fixed it.
If not that, I will take the location of a proper gnucash-2.0(.0) port
tarball instead. I've just tried a 1.9.5 version but no matter how I
try to fake out the Makefile and distfile it won't build.
thanks,

| How to disable RIP in FreeBSD? Favorites 05:06:39 |
| | Operating System: FreeBSD 6.1
Question:
1. I have configure my FreeBSD as a router successfully and my
FreeBSD works perfectly.
2. To do some experiments, I need to disable Dymatic Route in
FreeBSD, so it could not create route items automatically. And I can
add route items manually.
I found that FreeBSD creates dymatic route items by RIP or other
protocols. How can I disable it?

=============8<==============
Problem solved. So my question is why wasn't all of aspell
installed initially? This is the third instance for me in which
a 'make package-recursive' has failed (for different ports)
due to a package building error generated by pkg_create caused
by missing files, which should have been installed, since they
were in the pkg-plist, but were not.
This is worrisome in that my convention of installing ports
using the following sequence of commands may be in error or
somehow not appropriate.
# make && make install
# make package-recursive
# make clean
Anyone else having experiences with ports not fully
installing? Anyone seeing these package-recursive errors?
One of the other ports that this occurred with was
xorg-libraries-6.9.0 and the files listed below were
installed instead of the GL libraries:
the/root{329}/usr/X11R6/lib# ls
[snip]
XXX-libGL.a.%%.xorg-libraries-6.9.0
XXX-libGL.so.1.%%.xorg-libraries-6.9.0
I received a pkg_create error during package-recursive
based on the missing libGL.a and so on.
The fix was to make && make deinstall && make reinstall
but I'd really like to not have to do that.
Thanks for your patience and possible advice.
Vinny
