ifthen: Just worked through the example in the FreeBSD handbook on ports, adding lsof. It failed with this error:"Configure failed unexpectedly" "no kernel sources in /usr/source/sys OR /sys.
What does it mean? I'll check back later. jlgaddis: perhaps you don't have the kernel sources installed? ifthen: ok what are they?
good seeing you again. jlgaddis: the source code for the kernel ifthen: uh wouldn't they have to be there for bsd to run? jlgaddis: not the source code, no ifthen: oh it's compiled only? jlgaddis: yeah, look at the upgrading freebsd chapter in the handbook
it should walk you through how to install the sources ifthen: am I missing some parts here? jlgaddis: 04:40 < jlgaddis> the source code for the kernel ifthen: so bsd can run without them? jlgaddis: do windows machines need the source code in order to run windows? ifthen: live and learn.
they don't need the source to add programs.
well I'll take your kind advice and read more in the man. jlgaddis: you can install a pre-compiled binary version of lsof (if one exists) without the need for the source code
"man pkgadd" ifthen: I guess the handbook on ports assumes source is there. jlgaddis: actually, here's an example specifically for lsof, straight from the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/packages-using.html ifthen: yes I've been reading it but I wanted to try the ports example..I don't need the program. jlgaddis: you might want to hang around in #freebsd. there's some freebsd users here but the channel is primarily for arp. ifthen: yes, well I got my ass kicked over on #freebsd so I thought I'd see if this problem is peculiar to the arp bsd installation.
and I appreciate your comments thanks jlgaddis: if you just want to see how the process works, try installing something like wakeonlan ifthen: "I want what your're smoking" is what I heard over there. jlgaddis: simple, quick, and little or no requirements
hah ifthen: On something I know to be fact.
re wakeonlan maybe I'll give it a try. do you use it?
I'll check back tomorrow in case anyone else has a comment.
nite jlgaddis jlgaddis: no, but if you just want to see how ports are built, that's a good one to use

ifthen has joined #arpnetworks ifthen: Hey Nestea thanks for the corroboration. I'm worried about other ports when I can't get the textbook example to run. What did u do about it? b1k3ryd3r: just csup'ed src ifthen: thanks b1k... ***: pjs has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) b1k3ryd3r: np ***: pjs has joined #arpnetworks
pjs is now known as Guest92068 ifthen: b1k* were you having problems with ports? b1k3ryd3r: this is nestea :)
nah I just had the same lsof issue the other day ifthen: oops ***: nestea has quit IRC (Quit: pizza)
b1k3ryd3r is now known as nestea ifthen: is nestea about tea? ***: Guest92068 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) nestea: nah
everyone asks that t hough :P ifthen: well give me a clue nestea: its just a play on my old nick 'nesta' ifthen: my interal grep is boken on nesta too nestea: no worries ifthen: well I guess I'll read up on csup and try that.
On my username change problem it looks like the best route is to add a newuser with my preferred nick and delete the assigned one later. nestea: whats your 'username change problem' ? ifthen: want to change from assigned username to personal choice username. nestea: add a user ? ifthen: yes that seems to be the best way
useradd or user add or add user in pw nestea: you can just cp over any data in your current users directory and chown ir to your new user :)
adduser is probably the easiest ifthen: I like the command line when it works nestea: well then
man pw
:)
I prefer using pw myself
pw useradd ... etc
pw usermod ... etc ifthen: I thought I could use usermod to swap pw's but that was a fantasy.
well off to try things again. see you later. nestea: enjoy toddf: usermod -p works on OpenBSD but I suspect thats not what you're using ifthen: toddf I'm using freebsd here 8.1?
I notice it doesn't have vip
vi password command toddf: vipw ? ifthen: oops
but i did try vipw i think as i had the man in front of me
whatever it is
well back to that ever unfolding bsd man ***: ifthen has left
