PC-BSD 8.0 question

Hello,

I went to log into my KDE desktop this morning and it brought up an error 
that I haven’t seen before. It says "Could not start D-Bus. Can you call 
qbus?" Any ideas? As I’m a new user would someone be able to walk me through 
troubleshooting this?

Thanks,
Nick

Re: lagg0 on PC-BSD 8.0 RC2

Hi,

Is it possible to completely disable lagg interfaces from being created on boot?

I have commented out the devd.conf entry, but on every reboot, I still get a lagg0 interface created for my wireless interface and ethernet.

Strange, after disabling lagg0 and using my interfaces individually, I have had no abrupt crashes. Im going to give this a try on another computer and see..

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in

automake, Canon software, etc

Dear Helpers,

  I'm trying to install support for a Canon LBP 7200Cdn printer
(colour laser printer, duplex, networking - good value).  Canon have
their own page description language (CAPT) but provide software to
integrate with CUPS so that the printer can be used (converts from
postscript to CAPT, I think).  The software is provided in .deb and
.rpm formats and I'm not sure if these can be installed in PCBSD as
packages.  Canon also supplies the source, complete with makefiles.
And this is where the problem lies:

1.  The software uses "automake" and "autoconf", well-known building
tools.  However, on PCBSD these two are not in the standard path,
instead they reside in /Programs/K3B/bin.  Why is is this?  I can put
this into my path and then access them to do the build, but I'd like
to know what I am doing.  Why aren't they in /usr/local/bin or
somewhere like that?  Is there any harm in using /usr/ports/devel to
make autoconf and automake and have them installed in a more standard
place?

2.  The supplied version of automake has a problem:

pcbsd [9:46] ~>which automake
/Programs/K3B/bin/automake
pcbsd [9:47] ~>automake --version
Can't locate Automake/Struct.pm in  <at> INC ( <at> INC contains:
/Programs/K3B/share/automake-1.10 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/BSDPAN
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach

48.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /Programs/K3B/bin/automake-1.10 line 48.

Should I use the ports system to put in new versions of autoconf and automake?

My system is:

pcbsd [9:47] ~>uname -a
FreeBSD pcbsd 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #4: Thu Jan  7

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Rob Hurle

Re: automake, Canon software, etc

Do you still have the CD that came with the printer? If so, does it contain a PPD file? That's what you really want.

A quick Google search and it seems that Canon wants to give you a nice big installation program rather than just the driver (the PPD).

Cheers,

Dru

Re: automake, Canon software, etc

Thanks Dru,

  I haven't actually bought the printer yet - this is a replacement
for the disgusting HP 2605dn - and I'm trying to make sure that it
will work with PCBSD before I shell out the $$.  If you reckon that a
PPD file is all that's necessary, then that is great, because it's all
part of the package downloadable from Canon.

  I'm still puzzled about automake and autoconf.  When I do a make of
either of them from /usr/ports/devel, then the system says that they
are up-to-date, yet they are only in the K3B package.  I don't
understand that.

  Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Rob Hurle

Re: lagg0 on PC-BSD 8.0 RC2

Hi Kris.

sorry for replying late, I was hibernating from all technology for a few days.

On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 5:32 PM, Kris Moore <kris-E1R8x85rdljYtjvyW6yDsg@public.gmane.org> wrote:

The lagg device only gets created if enabled in /etc/rc.conf. (The GUI tool creates those entries automatically)

If you avoid the network manager GUI, you should be able to just remove the associated "lagg" entries in rc.conf and it won't show back up.

Unfortunately this is not the case. If I enable my wireless card (turn the wireless switch to ON) and reboot with it in the ON position, the lagg0 interface is created. If i boot with it in the OFF position, the lagg interface is not created. This is what was puzzling me. I have checked the startup scripts for where it is created and found nothing that creates this. As mentioned before, I disabled the enabling of the lagg interface in devd.conf.

The only script I find that creates the lagg0 interface is /PCBSD/pc-sysinstall/backend/functions-networking.sh.

thanks.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
