Do I need to upgrade the dependencies of a single port to upgrading it properly ?

Ievgen — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:02:26 GMT

Hi guys,

Please help me to understand because I don't know how it works behind the scenes.
What if I want to upgrade a single port, should I upgrade the dependencies as well or no ? Or even should I upgrade the packages that rely on it ?

I'm using portupgrade, so, for example what is the proper command should look like to upgrade let's say x11-toolkits/gtk30 ? Which one of:

1. portupgrade x11-toolkits/gtk30
2. portupgrade -R x11-toolkits/gtk30
3. portupgrade -r x11-toolkits/gtk30
4. portupgrade -rR x11-toolkits/gtk30

I'm confused.

Thanks.

Did anybody compiled mod_dtrace module for Apache?

I am looking for a tutorial regarding this topic.

I've found this but don't know if it works ok on FreeBSD: http://prefetch.net/projects/apache_modtrace/index.html

Firefox for Android Preps for Prime Time

rockyhill333 — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:47:30 GMT

Mozilla has released an update for its Firefox for Android beta mobile web browser. The latest beta sports a redesigned interface that looks a little less like Firefox and a little more like a native Android application.

If you’d like to help Mozilla test this beta, head on over to the Android marketplace and download a copy today. Unlike the recently updated Chrome for Android, which requires the latest and greatest Android Ice Cream Sandwich, Firefox for Android will run on Android Froyo 2.2 and better (it is, for the moment, only available in English, though).

The newest Firefox for Android beta is — despite looking a bit different from the early mobile releases — still pretty much the Firefox you know and love, with support for mobile add-ons, tabbed browsing and Firefox Sync, as well as the mobile-friendly “Awesome Screen.”

The Awesome Screen is similar feature-wise to the Awesome Bar in desktop Firefox, but tweaked to make mobile browsing and searching easier. To use it, just tap the location bar and you’ll see a list of your favorite bookmarks, history items and search engines.

Mozilla says the latest Firefox for Android beta starts up faster and some improvements to the underlying code should make for faster response times, better graphics performance and smoother panning and zooming. And while it’s not the only Android browser to do so, Flash fans will be happy to know that Firefox for Android continues to ship with Flash despite Adobe’s decision to stop developing the mobile Flash plugin.

The major focus for this beta release is getting the new native interface in Firefox for Android ready for prime time, so if you do decide to test it, be sure to let Mozilla know if you encounter any bugs.

How do I add a cache drive to an existing ZFS pool?

papelboyl1 — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:32:57 GMT

I've been reading about controller cards and I have read people having SSD cache drives on their setup. I have an existing ZFS pool and I want to add a SSD cache drive to it.

Is this possible? If yes, how can I do it? Thank you. :)

Cannot burn Dvds

wokko — Wed, 16 May 2012 02:09:44 GMT

Hi guys,

I have a dvd burner which I can burn cds through Xfburn but when I try to burn a dvd it just spins and then it says that device is not ready.

I'm running FreeBSD 9 release.

Any ideas.

Installing gnome-desktop on powerpc error

macunkie — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:14:25 GMT

I have a successful install of 9.0 stable on my 15" powerbook G4. I'm successfully connected to the net and can download via ftp the gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz. Of course when I try to pkg_add the .tbz it can't find all the dependencies because an attempt and an individual install of each one would be time consuming chaos.

When I run # pkg_add -r gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz I get the following error:

Code:

Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/po...elease/Latest/ gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz.

When I use my MacBook Pro and the "Connect to Server" I trace the directories and there is NO packages-9.0-release let alone a Latest directory within it.

When I connect to ftp.freebsd.org I go to the following directory to find gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/powerpc/packages-9-stable/gnome. This is where gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz. resides.

I've worked with my mac and 'macports' and when you install a package it auto detects dependencies and downloads them and installs during main package install.

Question: within the FreeBSD pkg_add -r function, is there a way to change the directory path it searches?

Question 2: is there an ftp get command that will find and get all the dependencies for the relative gnome-desktop package I'm trying to install?

Just trying to get a GUI running on my new FreeBSD install!

Thanks for any help!

Samuel.

Cannot get ASUS USB-N13 to work on FreeBSD 9.0

penna — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:04:00 GMT

I am trying to configure a USB wireless adapter (ASUS USB-N13) on my system:
% uname -prsi

Code:

FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 GENERIC

From the hardware notes, this adapter is supported by the run(4) driver. I followed the instructions in the man pages (run(4)) and added the following lines in loader.conf.

Code:

if_run_load="YES"

runfw_load="YES"

After system reboot, I plug-in the adapter in the USB hub/port. The following are the messages in /var/log/messages:

Code:

kernel: ugen4.2:  at usbus4

root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0b05 product 0x17ab bus uhub4

I checked whether the run(4) has been loaded or not.

[Solved] 8.2 -> 8.3 upgrade + gmirror = kernel panic

romeor — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:29:41 GMT

Hello,

Just got to my workplace (it's midnight in Europe) because of a remote upgrade failed: after I upgraded my 8.2 to 8.3, my server didn't come back after reboot. So I'm here, messing around and I now see a situation, where my router falls in continuous reboots as soon as I use gmirror (the line in loader.conf). I can't even take a picture of the kernel panic message, but I can see it for 1-2 seconds. If I remove it (comment) and set booting directly from disk drive in fstab, system boots up normally.

What can I do? Any help is welcomed, as this is production router :(

Problem with Netbeans 7.1.2 on FreeBSD 9

pauloperes — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:21:22 GMT

So,

I installed Netbeans on FreeBSD 9, but I have the following problem:

When I started netbeans for first time, it was working OK, but after that netbeans did not start again, only when I remove the .netbeans directory on my user directory.

How do I resolve this?

Att,

Problem with graphic desktop after fresh install

namshub — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:44:46 GMT

I've installed FreeBSD 9 and after the system came up it seems I can't use any graphic desktop. I installed gnome/xfce/kde/gdm/kdm and Xorg.

When I try to startx or gdm/kdm/startxfce4 all get the same result.

Code:

"no screen was found"

(or something very similar)

Tried # Xorg --configure

Nothing

The xorg.conf looks ok as far as I can tell.

What did I forget and is there an easy solution? Something like a xorgsetup program maybe?

Nestopia (NES emulator)

vsoto — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:46:09 GMT

Nestopia is reputed to be the most accurate NES emulator.
With three very minor modifications to the Linux port it compiles and runs under FreeBSD 9. Everything seems to be working OK except that it dumps core when trying to save a movie of the gameplay. This happens right after closing the GTK dialog where the name of the movie file is selected. The file is created but it is empty.
Using gdb on the core file gives the following:

Code:

I think it fails when trying to write the string "NSV\032\b" to the movie file, maybe it is some kind of magic number to identify the movie files which have .nsv as suffix. This failure happens when compiled with g++, g++46, and clang++.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) info

asp5 — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:15:53 GMT

Hi all,

I'm interested in learning about BPF's. Can someone point me to info on the BPF's, its documentation, perhaps some examples of using it in a program would help. Is this enabled by default in the kernel or do I have to configure and re-build the kernel?

Thanks.
