Missing chroot for dns/bind9{9,10}?
The removal of BIND from base in stable/10 left us with the option of running BIND from ports either in a jail, or as an ordinary service. The old BIND in base was able to run in a chroot environment, isolated from the rest of the system. Some of us believe a chroot is a […]

Enabling encrypted swap has changed in FreeBSD stable/10. I was interested in running AES-XTS with a 256 bit random key and a simulated blocksize of 4096 bytes. I had to change the line in /etc/fstab for the swap partition from to The kernel could then happily report:

Sitatet under er tatt ut av sammenhengen, men det er likevel en viss sannhet i de utvalgte ordene. Problemet er ikke unikt for Microsoft-systemer. … likegyldighet er et problem for Microsoft, fordi dette er brukere som ikke klarer å holde maskinen sin oppdatert og som får installert all slags malware. Så blir de sinte og […]

The 20141214 entry in ports/head/UPDATING says: 20141214: AFFECTS: users of TeXLive AUTHOR: hrs@FreeBSD.org Several scripts in print/texlive-base have been moved to devel/tex-kpathsea. Upgrading them can fail because texlive-base depends on tex-kpathsea, and the new ex-kpathsea tries to install files which were installed by the old texlive-base. The following error message indicates this situation: pkg-static: tex-kpathsea-6.2.0_1 […]

devel/gettext, as of version 0.19.3, has been split into three ports: devel/gettext, the meta-port depending the two next ports; devel/gettext-runtime, the runtime libraries; and devel/gettext-tools, the tools for managing the message catalogs. In my case, as I build my own ports, making the transition required manual intervention using both portupgrade and the ports collection tree:

If AutoCAD 2015 refuse to install, try to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and try to reinstall AutoCAD 2015. In one instance was it necessary to uncheck Autodesk ReCap. I really wish there was a simple way to mark only the essential parts necessary for the creation of simple drawings. […]

At work we received a Fluke Networks LinkRunner AT 2000 network analyzer this week. The report generator in the Fluke Networks LinkRunner AT Manager v1.0.9.8 contains a minor flaw. IPv6 tests performed are never marked as such in print. I created a “Support incident”, and hopefully Fluke will acknowledge the fault, correct it, and issue […]
