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.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.

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 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1 .) at /Programs/K3B/bin/automake-1.10 line 48.

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.

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

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.
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.
