Not sure how to get around the issue posted, but a portupdate solved the 
problem -- now building apache-oo instead of oo

Re: portsnap update won't update original /usr/ports

If you have the tree from the disk then that means you are running

populated by a portsnap extract.


 

You'll probably get away with it most of the time, but it's not safe to

Mario Lobo — 2012-05-23T23:18:36

Because if you want to switch systems you're gonna have to reboot anyway!

The boot manager is nothing but an automatic interruption of the boot process 
to give you a chance to press a key for the system you want to boot from.

But you're right. Pressing 3 keys instead of one or none IS the hard way.

just my 0,02...

I haven't looked into that topic for a long time, but in

type of controllers (either W or U, and UW). The ahc
driver worked well with them.

doug — 2012-05-23T22:52:40


I have only done this with systems up to 8.1. With one disk you obviously have 
to shrink the partition. Depending on the size and how long windows 7 has been 
mucking with the disk there may be non-movable files.So you could need something 
a bit more sophicated the the native partition manager. Past that until 9.0, 
which works perfectly, installing an MBR removes the windows 7 MBR.

in the third one and reinstalling from a restore set (which will most like use 
partitions 1 and 2) and then using a windows 7 compliant boot manager works.

If you can shrink the windows partition to get enough space, make a windows 
restore set and then install FreeBSD and a boot manager. I have done this with 
7.x, 8.0 and 8.1. I did a post I can probably find.


Easybcd is what I used.


Me too, but until 9.0 that has not been my experience.


If you can shrink the partition its fairly straight foward. The main trick is 
once you have shrunk the partion you must make a restore set because if you have 
to restore, the pro

That surely seems the hard way.    Why interrupt the boot and go
in to the BIOS every time when that is all provided for in the
boot structure?

Purpose of FreeBSD X.Y-RELEASE Hardware Notes

vermaden — 2012-05-23T22:19:18

Gentleman (and ladies), what is the purpose of the Hardware Notes
when it does not provide any REAL information about what hardware
is supported?

A painful example, I checked if SCSI Controller Adaptec 29320 is
supported on FreeBSD and the 'official' information is that it is
supported with the AHD(4) driver, like below.


But after connecting this Adaptec 29320 to the system it shits
the terminal from top to bottom and all I have are issues with
it, that is called officially supported hardware?

There should be [*] sign on that device that this device ID is known,
but its support is less then good. Grepping the Internet shows that
all people suggest to put that SCSI card directly into the bin and  get
something else to work on FreeBSD.

Regards,
vermaden

Since each system is going to be on different physical drives, why don't you 
make things easy for you and just use the BIOS boot menu to choose which drive 
to boot from?

Dual Boot Windows 7 FreeBSd 8.3

Jerry McAllister — 2012-05-23T21:49:06

Hi,

I have been searching through questions and forums for information
on dual booting FreeBSD 8.3 on a machine with Windows 7 already on it.

My problem is that the posts seem to go around in circles and be
contradictory.  I am not sure which to believe.

My new machine has two disk drives.  Windows 7 is on ad0 and I want
to put FreeBSD 8.3 on ad1, leaving W7 as is.   So, I don't even have
to shrink a primary slice to do this.

I have dual booted Xp, Windows 98 and 95 with various FreeBSDs before
with no problem.   But, the story I keep hearing now seems to be that 
Windows 7 is more picky and will not work with the FreeBSD MBR.   I am
not sure why.

At least some people seem to be claiming that I canNOT just do the 
install and put the FreeBSD MBR on the primary slices right from the
sysnstall menu just like in the good old days - that the only way to 
make it work is to use something called 'Easybcd' to edit whatever 
Windows 7 puts in place rather than using the FreeBSD MBR and then
use the MS MBR with

Hi all,

same problem here as well. Apparently this is in relation to updating
Cairo. See the thread on the forum:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=178116

=> downgrade Cairo to 1.10
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/cairo/distinfo

Would be good to see this fixed ;)

That is normally not needed.


These are variable assignments, and the second line overwrites the

DHCP will do that for you.

Re: no X after updating ports [Intel i945GME]

Ramiro Caso — 2012-05-23T12:24:16

I have a similar problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 1318 running 9.0 amd. I 
use KDE4 (kde-4.7.4_1). After an upgrade of ports (using portupgrade), X 
works, but every time I launch a non-KDE application, X crashes. Putting 
"vesa" instead of "intel" in xorg.conf stopped the crashes.

I upgraded roughly the same ports, and I get a "Segmentation fault: 11 
at address 0x10" error. The card is an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 IGC.

If it helps, I can provide more details (upgraded ports, log files and 
screen output).

Integrating FreeBSD with MS Active Directory in order to be able to Authenticate Dovecot IMAP server

Kaya Saman — 2012-05-23T12:33:52

Hi,

I'm attempting to authenticate Dovecot to Active Directory, however,
I'm failing quite badly.


So far I have gone through the FreeBSD handbook on Kerberos authentication:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kerberos5.html


Additionally I have been through the Dovecot config:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms/Winbind

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm


I am running FreeBSD 8.2 x64 RELEASE edition with the Dovecot2 port
installed, SAMBA 3.6, and the Heimdal version of Kerberos.


I pulled the krb5.conf and smb.conf files from one of our production
Linux boxes......

This is my dovecot.conf file:

# v1.1:
#auth_ntlm_use_winbind = yes
# v1.2+:
auth_use_winbind = yes

auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth

protocols = imap

# It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this
# by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier.
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log

# Disable SSL for now.

Regarding PCI-E error display in FreeBSD

subramani.p — 2012-05-23T11:45:54

Does FreeBSD has provision to display PCI-E errors. 

we are observing a FreeBSD OS hang while performing a phy break of an
expander during IOs on the drives attached to the expander.

The same test when run under linux we could see Linux OS popping up PCIe
related error messages which was detected through their AER module.

Please help me in understanding if there are any such modules in FreeBSD
through which PCIe related error message can be viewed.
