just want to get this started as I hope it will motivate me to finish it, since I have done a LOT of things on my computer since my last post, and obviously I have posted none of it.
So, I got a little impatient about not having my PC functioning, so I I installed Fedora 12 x64 on the rest of my FreeBSD boot drive and I have about 80% of the things on my list done and working. I’ll reference them by numbers here, and you can go read what they were by clicking on “my list” above. I am still hoping to get FreeBSD as my host OS; however everything is working right now with Fedora (except that stupid wireless NIC), although I am still having my “system reached critical temp” error from ACPI, yet the system resource monitor I have running shows a nice pleasant 30C CONSTANT temp. maybe this summer I’ll pickup a liquid CPU cooler… I already have 5 exhaust fans and 2 intake fans, 2 x 240mm exhaust and a 160mm or 180mm intake, I think I have air flow covered. (talked to a friend who is more into the details of technical issues, a network engineer, and he says that an inactive CPU, like when the system shutsdown, can drop 40F in about 7-10 seconds so it might be why I cannot catch it reporting a high temp in the BIOS) The BIOS does not report any temps reaching above 45C ever, so I have no idea why this is happening, I do run widgets reporting the internal temp, but have never seen it change!!!) . most of the time when it shuts there is/has been high CPU/disk IO usage (all 4 cores over 60% sustained, multiple long term large/multiple file movements across drives and/or multiple VMs running). So it could be valid.
I have come up with a couple of things to try to resolve this issue (going with the cheapest first, even if it is not really going to help a CPU issue, it can’t hurt…)
- I could just upgrade some hardware and see if a different BIOS/MB manufacturer makes a difference. I would love a lower watt CPU (or 6 core!), more L2/L3 cache, and USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s, since my current system bottleneck is the SATA 3GB/s HDDs.
- Switch to liquid cooling and installing a new thermal sensor with an external readout.
- buy cute little 5cfm coolling fans to place on my NorthBridge, SouthBridge, and onboard GPU passive cooling fins (cheapest option, not necessarily attacking the actual issue though)
- purchase a pretty new Video card and disable the onboard video (the chip is within an inch or two from the CPU, so there maybe some issue with residual heat from the GPU causing my overheating).
in order from cheapest to most expensive would be 3, 2, 4/1 (really close and might be a tie or within a $20-$30)
My List of things to get working, except this one is for Fedora.
1. VirtualBox is installed, working and I have multiple VMs up and running.
2. Install VMWare Workstation, I have downloaded the newest trial version and it is good for another 3 weeks, but have not gotten around to installing it.
3. Mounting my NTFS drives, all mounted, where I want them, even went through and deleted the Windows OS system folders from all but one.
4. SSH connections, I have started this and was working on it when I decided to start this post, should be done tomorrow.
5. I am posting this from Google Chrome on my Fedora 12 installation right now, so I’d say installed and working. Java shows up in the plugins, although java.com cannot detect it in my browser.
6. Hulu works great in Firefox or Google Chrome, although is a bit spotty when I have VMs running, and the playback is laggy in Chrome… So I am trying to get the Hulu Desktop app running. will make a post after I get some work done on it and let you know how it goes.
7. So far everything is working great, going to try a couple of VM’ed games next week after I get the rest of this done.
8. Firefox is up, running, and is playing hulu; however it does not report Java as installed from the about:plugins page, even though it is and I followed all the steps to link the correct files to the correct places. I believe this is the Firefox 3.6 doesn’t support Java issue though and not an issue on my part.
9. access NTFS drives remotely via ssh and a chrooted account with links to the mounts. After I get my SSH working tomorrow I should be able to test this. I was reading something online I no longer have open and may not have bookmarked that said that I can double mount drives (mount a drive to more than one, specifically 2, locations)
10. convert my NTFS drives to a more suitable linux FS, this again is a last thing item, to be done after everything else is working.
11. convert my drives from MBR to GPT, most likely to be done at the same time as the FS change.
12. GUI package manager for KDE, done, comes with Fedora.
13. eliminate all traces of Gnome from my computer… again, have to be last thing, once all is up and working.
14. build my first kernel, normally done immediately after install, I’ll do it last after EVERYTHING else (including the other things I said I would do last)
15. Wine is installed and works. will try out some things that I have installed in VMs to see about dropping those VMs
16. install older apps, again part of a couple of other items, I will of course be installing older apps on older OS installation I have, and will try them in Wine as stated.
17. X.org port forwarding to Cygwin on a windows machine (laptop) something I might do in a week or two…
18. start regular backups… I’m getting there, I have the drive formated in ext3, I just have not started backing things up.
19. Java, I think it works in Chrome, I was able to see the animated maps on the NOAA website, which most people use to test their Java. not working in Firefox 3.5.9.2
20. Flash, Hulu is working in Firefox and Chrome, so all good here.
21. Yakuake is fully functional and working.
22. Picasa 3.6 (I think) is installed and working great, except I don’t seem to be able to find the facial recognician system.
23. No idea on this one, can not find where I posted what it was, only that it was completed on BSD.
Unfinished items for Fedora: 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 19?
apparently Open Office will not load, for an unknown reason, looking into it at this time.
this may get a bit repetitive with me re-listing everything, so instead I am just going to link to the first post that has the list of things to do… note I have added a couple of things at the bottom so the numbers now go past 20…
1. 75% in progress, troubleshooting and more testing needed. I have gotten my user added the the “VirtualBox” user group, but I get this error when I try to execute VirtualBox from the command line ”VirtualBox: supR3HardenedExecDir: couldn’t read “”, errno=2 cchLink=-1“ I tried loading VirtualBox from KDE and it was loading for about 12 seconds then nothing happend, also it did not install a manual page. I’ll have to do some forum surfing to figure this one out. this exact error is referrenced in the FreeBSD handbook noting that it should only occur if you are using an older version on VirtualBox.
2. 0% not started. no updates yet, holding off till I get some of these other tasks complete.
3. 100% complete. everything is automounting at bootup and it is doing it where I want it to.
4. 100% complete. I am working almost exclusively via ssh now and can connect to it remotely as tested via an Android cell phone ssh client (props to connectbot)
5. 10% in progress, researched only. Chrome can be installed as a Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, or Fedora package, I just need to set my system up to handle RPMs and I might be able to get it to install, hopefully the newest version will work easier than last august when everyone was trying to hack the install to make it work, especially since every forum I went to never had a successful complete port available and there were no posts from 2010 and the maintainer of the hacked port is not doing updates anymore except those that match his specific system configuration.
6. duplicate issue. going to delete this one, as #19 and #20 pretty much sum it up.
7. 30% in progress, trouble shooting and additional testing required. as noteded else where VirtualBox is installed but not able to run, and I have not started on VMWare.
8. 100% complete. Firefox 3.6.2 is installed and operational.
9. 90% in progress, trouble shooting and more testing needed. self testing shows that a user is able to ssh in and access the drives, but is not able to ftp in and access the drives. I used “sudo ln -s /mnt/<directory> /home/<user>/<directory>” I haven’t used links much and need to see if the -s (symbolic) is what is preventing the user from accessing the data via ftp.
10. 0% not started. no updates yet, holding off till I get some of these other tasks complete.
11. 20% in progress, 1 out of 5 drives is currently running with GPT. the new 1.5TB drive was setup with GPT when installed into the system. the new 500GB drive (FreeBSD boot drive) is still MBR as the FreeBSD fdisk application did not have an option for setting the drive boot record to GPT, although I have found documentation on converting the FreeBSD boot drive to GPT.
12. 0% in progress, initial research turned up nothing useful.
13. -30% not started, situation worsening, additional packages labeled as “gnome-xxxx” or “xxxxx-gnome” have been added as dependencies during other package installations.
14. 10% in progress, initial research has turned up useful information; however I am not currently in a possition to proceed.
15. 0% not started. no updates yet, holding off till I get some of these other tasks complete.
16. 0% not started. no updates yet, holding off till I get some of these other tasks complete, will require at least one of #’s 1, 2, 7, or 15 to be complete before work can begin.
17. 0% not started. no updates yet, holding off till I get some of these other tasks complete, not a priority and very near the bottom of the list of things to do.
18. 40% in progress. Still leaning towards rsync, but I have been researching into using dump and I think it will do what I want it to.
19. 60% in progress, I thought I had it installed, but when I went to the test if you have java installed page of www.java.com it failed to test my java installation (might need to add the plugin for firefox, will check); however the java download page only lists “Windows, Mac OS, and Linux” as OS choices, so I will have to do more research.
********update – I am making a java install page because this was such a pain in the rump to do.***********
20. 40% in progress, I thought I had it installed, but when I went to hulu it told me I need java 10.0.22, also amd.com told me I need the flash plugin installed; however again there is no FreeBSD listing on the download page as a supported OS, so I will have to do more research.
21. 100% complete. (I know I added this one) get Yakuake working in KDE, well I did a “sudo pkg_add -r yakuake” and it started downloading, it has about 6 dependencies and those had about 150 dependencies, most of which I already had installed. the problem I saw was it force downloaded KDE 3.5 and all of it’s dependencies, I hope that doesn’t screw anything up. If I remember correctly from when KDE 4.0 first came out they specifically named the port KDE4 instead of just KDE so that there would not be conflicts on systems that had both versions installed. after it finished I ran a “sudo pkgdb -F” it found a lot of stale dependencies and fixed them, one thing I noticed fly by was Firefox 3.0.## which tells me I need to check my Firefox and see if it is 3.0 or 3.6…
22. 10% researched only. Get Picasa installed and working, this will be just like chrome and will require using RPM packages.
23. 100% complete. as part of #5 and #22 (and because I always install this on FreeBSD, but it failed during initial OS installation for some reason) I am installing the linux compatibility/emulation pack. I’ll do a brief post on this and link it here.
wow, so many issues, you’d not believe how many draft blog posts I have going while I try to resolve everything… In fact I have so many I can’t even tell which ones are related right now.
So, Today’s newest issue has actually been around for at least 3 weeks, I have noticed when I run portupgrade -ra that a very large number of errors fly by on my screen, all extremely similar and I think all during dependency builds for a single port that I have not captured the name of, but do I do know some of the culprits…
Now currently I cannot get a pretty scroll bar to limit the size of the “code” block so I’ll just leave it at the very bottom. 
It all seems to revolve around boost, python, and gcc 4.2.2. I’ve been to /usr/ports/lang/gcc42 & /usr/ports/lang/gcc44 & /usr/ports/lang/gcc45 and ran a sudo make config in each location, all reported back nothing to configure. I also went to /usr/ports/lang/python and did the same thing and got the same result and one more time for /usr/ports/devel/boost_build with the same results. so I cannot figure out where the multi-thread checkbox was in the configure screen that I know I checked and I know showed up during a portupgrade I did some time ago and of course was before I started doing system backups.
I did the only thing else I could think of… I went to the gcc42 directory and ran sudo make config-recursive install clean and you know what? it did it, it did not tell me it was already installed, in fact it had to DL the gcc-core-4.2-20090325.tar.bz2 file to do the installation, so maybe the issue is that gcc was missing to begin with?
Now I did see some pretty wierd things go by my screen, like “craphunt” and “chamber” (pot?) and of course you can’t have unix without “dump” also saw what is definitely my favorite one “gimplify” tons of java stuff flew off my screen as well.
Well at the end it failed because a couple of dependencies failed to install, including gstreamer. I tried to install gstreamer and it failed, I tried to force the install and it still failed.

this should be nice and short (or not, following most of this from Liok’s blog mentioned on my Firefox 3.6 install post), the first 2 steps might be unnecessary as the install itself may do them, but I did them in this order so that’s how I am posting it…
- sudo kldload linux
- sudo cp /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.<mmddyyyy>
- sudo vi /etc/rc.conf now, step by step.
a. press “G” (moves you to the end of the file.)
b. type “o” (inserts a new line, vi is case sensitive, but you can use a “o” or a “O” this time so don’t worry)
c. type ‘linux_enable=”YES” ‘ (again case sensitive, this allows FreeBSD to load it automatically each time you boot so you don’t have to do step #1 everytime you restart your system. )
d. press ESC (to enter command mode and tell vi you are done editing. )
e. press “:” (that is a colon if you can’t tell, this tells vi you are going to do file/OS/system based commands vs. editing based commands)
f. type “wq!” (this tells vi to “write” or save the file, then “quit” and “do it now!” the order is important as it follows what you type in the order you type it, so typing ”qw!” will not save the file, it will just quit because the first thing you told it to do is to quit.) - cd /usr/ports/emulation/linux_base-f10 (currently the newest fedora core in the ports tree is fedora 10, not sure why 11 or 12 is not there, but hey…)
- make config-recursive install clean (not sure why the recursive is necessary, but hey, it doesn’t hurt, so why not?)
- let it finish…
- sudo vi /etc/fstab (we now need to setup our system to mount the linux procfs on bootup)
a. press ” G” (moves you to the end of the file)
b. press “o” (to “open” a new line and start editing)
c. type “linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0” (those are zeros at the end)
d. press ESC (to enter command mode and tell vi you are done editing.)
e. press “:” (that is a colon if you can’t tell, this tells vi you are going to do file/OS/system based commands vs. editing based commands)
f. type “wq!” (this tells vi to “write” or save the file, then “quit” and “do it now!” ) - sudo mount /usr/compat/linux/proc
- cd /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper
- sudo make config-recursive install clean (this is to help your plugins work correctly… hmm… wonder if this was all I needed to get Firefox 3.6.2 working with Java… this command installed a whole bunch of fc10 RPM files, by a whole bunch I mean more than 20 and although fairly small in size, all had to be downloaded) and I hit a small wall…===> linux-f10-gtk2-2.14.7_1 depends on file: /compat/linux/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0.2203.0 – not found

- so… off to run my update script again…
Can’t get past this part, everytime I try to update I get this error, so now I need “Pango” to provide an update without that security vulnerability…
Well that was easy, I’ve been sitting on this problem for about a week now, and all I had to do was search for the issue… aparently the newest version is 1.28 and is available in many locations, except the official FreeBSD ports tree. so I am DL’ing it now and doing an install of the app with pkg_add. The official FreeBSD forum just says to disable vulnerability checking either temporarily or permanently, I prefer to pass on that option.
Okay, well I DL’d the new version, bunzip2′ed it, untar’ed it, ran configure, did not see any errors, then tried to run make and got an error…
“Makefile”, line 957: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered — cannot continue
I read the INSTALL file but did not see anything extra that I needed to do. no idea where to go from here… according to the config.log file configure exited with a code 0, no errors. looks like I am still stuck.
I tried downloading the previous version, pango-1.27.1 and had the same error on the same line of the make file, I guees I’ll edit the makefile and see what I can do.
ok, the error line is #957 and this is what is there…
-include $(top_srcdir)/git.mk
to me that means I need to specify the source directory as an input flag option with the config command so the make file has the correct source dir? I’ll give that a shot and see if it changes the line in the results. sudo ./configure –srcdir=/home/jperry/pango-1.27.1/
