Experience the possibilities with FreeBSD

FreeBSD can handle nearly any task you would expect of a &unix; workstation, as well as many you might not expect:

FreeBSD is a true open system with full source code.

There is no doubt that so-called open systems are the requirement for today's computing applications. But no commercial vendor-supplied solution is more open than one which includes full source code to the entire operating system, including the kernel and all of the system daemons, programs, and utilities. You can modify any part of FreeBSD to suit your personal, organizational, or corporate needs.

With its generous licensing policy, you can use FreeBSD as the basis for any number of free or commercial applications.

FreeBSD runs thousands of applications.

Because FreeBSD is based on 4.4BSD, an industry-standard version of UNIX, it is easy to compile and run programs. FreeBSD also includes an extensive packages collection and ports collection that bring precompiled and easy-to-build software right to your desktop or enterprise server. There is also a growing number of commercial applications written for FreeBSD.

Here are some examples of the environments in which FreeBSD is used:

FreeBSD is an operating system that will grow with your needs.

Though FreeBSD is free software, it is also user supported software. Any questions you have can be posted to hundreds of FreeBSD developers and users simply by e-mailing the freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG mailing list.

FreeBSD also has a worldwide group of programmers and writers who fix bugs, add new features and document the system. Support for new devices or special features is an almost constant development process, and the team keeps a special eye out for problems which affect system stability. FreeBSD users are quite proud of not only how fast but how reliable their systems are.

What experts have to say . . .

``FreeBSD handles [our] heavy load quite well and it is nothing short of amazing. Salutations to the FreeBSD team.''

Full Text

  1. How do I get GNOME &gnomever; for FreeBSD?

    There are two ways to install GNOME &gnomever; on FreeBSD. One way is to use packages, and the other way is to use ports. Before doing either installation, you should first familiarize yourself with the GNOME &gnomever; release notes.

    To install GNOME &gnomever; from packages, use the command:

    # pkg_add -r gnome2

    This will download the latest GNOME &gnomever; packages from the FreeBSD FTP site, and proceed to install them on your system.

    To build and install GNOME &gnomever; from ports, you should first cvsup the latest ports tree. Then:

     # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
 # make clean
 # make install clean

    For the best GNOME 2 experience, you should install from ports, after adding the following macros to your /etc/make.conf file:

     WITH_FAM=	yes
 WITH_LAME=	yes

    WITH_FAM enables file alteration manager support which allows Nautilus to update its file lists in real-time as well as allows all GNOME components to detect config file changes without needing to restart GNOME. Note, in order for FAM to work properly, you also need to add the following to /etc/rc.conf then reboot:

    For FreeBSD 4.x:
    portmap_enable="YES"

    For FreeBSD 5.x:
    rpcbind_enable="YES"

    WITH_LAME adds MP3 support, enabling you to play MP3s directly in Nautilus.

    These options may cause build errors on certain platforms, and thus they are not enabled by default.

  2. GNOME &gnomever; is failing to build from ports. What do I do?

    The majority of GNOME &gnomever; compilation problems can be solved by making sure all the necessary GNOME &gnomever; components are up-to-date. You may see a configure error similar to the following:

     configure: error: *** pkg-config too old; version 0.14 or better required.

    While this may be buried in some other text, the error is very straight-forward: you need to upgrade pkg-config. The pkg-config application is found in the devel/pkgconfig port. By updating this port to the latest version, this error will go away.

    You may see compiler errors relating to pthreads - (POSIX threads), such as:

    + (&posix; threads), such as:

     undefined reference to 'strerror_r'

    To fix thread related errors, make sure you have the following compiled into your kernel:

     options     _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING

    And make sure if you are tracking -stable or -current, that you do not have NOLIBC_R set in /etc/make.conf. If you do, remove it, then rebuild world. If you still have trouble, please send email to &email;@FreeBSD.org with the output of the failed compilation. It is also helpful to include the config.log from the port's work directory.

    Ports such as devel/pth and devel/ngpt can also cause pthread-related problems when compiling GNOME &gnomever;. If you do not need these ports installed, it is recommended that you remove them.

  3. I installed GNOME &gnomever;, but I am missing application foo. What gives?

    Only the core components, and a few extras, are included in the gnome2 package. While you can still run GNOME 1.4 applications under GNOME &gnomever;, a number of applications have already been ported to GNOME &gnomever;.

    The applications that have been ported are included in the gnome2-fifth-toe meta-port. Note, some of these applications are still in the early development stages, and may not be very stable.

    To install gnome2-fifth-toe from packages:

     # pkg_add -r gnome2-fifth-toe

    To install gnome2-fifth-toe from ports:

     # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2-fifth-toe
 # make clean
 # make install clean

  4. What is the best way to upgrade from GNOME 1.4 to GNOME 2?

    Right now, the GNOME project is still very much in flux. Work still must be done to the GNOME ports infrastructure in order to get things working cleanly. However, if you have GNOME 1.4, and you want to upgrade to GNOME &gnomever;, first familiarize yourself with the official upgrade instructions from the GNOME site. Next, make sure your GNOME 1.4 ports are up-to-date, then remove the following GNOME 1.4 packages from the system:

     gnomecore
 sawfish
 gnomeapplets 
 gnomemedia
 gtop
 libgtop
 nautilus
 gedit
 xalf
 bugbuddy
 gnomeaudio
 gnomegames
 gnomeutils
 gdm
 eog
 ggv

    After those packages are removed, you can build GNOME &gnomever; per the instructions listed above.

  5. What is the best way to upgrade from GNOME 2.2 to GNOME &gnomever;?

    We recommend to use /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade for such purpose. This will do the job well:

     # pkgdb -F
 (answer yes to all prompts)
 # portupgrade ORBit2 libbonobo
 # portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=yes atk
 # portupgrade -R -m BATCH=yes gnome2

  6. How do I keep my GNOME &gnomever; components and applications up-to-date?

    I find that /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade works really well. For example:

    # portupgrade -r pkgconfig

    This will upgrade pkgconfig and every other port that depends on it (that needs updating).

    However, sometimes so much changes that it becomes necessary to do a little housekeeping first. In that case, this usually works:

     # pkg_delete -rf pkgconfig\*
 # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
 # make clean
 # make install clean

    These steps will remove all the GNOME 1 and 2 components and applications from your machine, but only reinstalls the GNOME 2 desktop. You should be aware, that if it comes to this, you will need to reinstall your applications after reinstalling the desktop. Fortunately, this extreme measure is only rarely needed.

  7. Can I install GNOME 1.4 applications under GNOME &gnomever;?

    GNOME 1.4 ports will run well under the GNOME 2 desktop. Older applications that were incompatible with the GNOME 2 desktop have been removed from the ports tree, so it should be safe to run any GNOME application in the ports tree under the GNOME 2 desktop.

  8. Where can I get more themes for GNOME &gnomever;?

    The website art.gnome.org has been setup as a general GNOME theme repository. They offer some gtk+-2, metacity, sawfish, nautilus, icon, and gdm themes, as well as some backgrounds.

    A new theme site called The Theme Depot has just been launched. This site contains themes for GNOME 2 as well as KDE and quite a few window managers.

    Freshmeat.net has a themes archive at themes.freshmeat.net, which contains themes and backgrounds for many window managers, theme engines, and desktop environments. This site grew out of the old themes.org.

    A good site for some cool GNOME icons (some stock, some new) is jimmac's Icons site.

    See the instructions on the website for installing the themes. If you feel inclined to port a few of them, you will not be turned away ;-).

  9. What window managers work well with GNOME &gnomever;?

    The gnome2 meta-port installs the metacity window manager by default. Another popular window manager that works well with GNOME &gnomever; is sawfish. Sawfish is distributed as part of the x11/gnome2-fifth-toe meta-port.

    To switch between metacity and sawfish in GNOME 2, you will need to do the following:

     killall metacity; sawfish &
 gnome-session-save --gui

    The gnome-session-save is important. Without it, the window manager will revert back to the one previously configured upon next login. To switch back, simply reverse sawfish and metacity.

  10. Does GNOME &gnomever; support anti-aliased fonts?

    Yes! Anti-aliasing requires XFree86 4.x with freetype2 support. To add freetype2 support to X, make sure you have the following modules loaded in your XF86Config file under the Modules section:

     Load	"freetype"
 Load	"type1"

    Then, simply checkout the Fonts capplet under Applications->Desktop Preferences. If you want a good set of TrueType starter fonts, install the x11-fonts/webfonts port.

    Sometimes, after adding new fonts to the system, it is necessary to teach fontconfig about them. If you find that newly added fonts are not made available even after restarting GNOME 2, run the following command as root.

     # fc-cache -f -v

    If you have any questions, please send them to &email;@FreeBSD.org.

  11. How can I control what fonts are anti-aliased?

    GNOME &gnomever; makes use of Xft and fontconfig to handle anti-aliasing. Fontconfig is a very powerful XML-based font configuration package. You can create a ~/.fonts.conf file that controls virtually every aspect of fontconfig. For example, if you do not want to anti-alias fonts smaller than 16 point, create a ~/.fonts.conf with the following contents:

     <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
 <fontconfig>
 
 <match target="font">
         <test name="size" compare="less_eq">
                 <double>16</double>
         </test>
         <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
                 <bool>false</bool>
         </edit>
 </match>
 </fontconfig>

    Refer to fonts-conf(5) for more information.

  12. How do I edit my GNOME 2 menus?

    You need to use Nautilus to edit your GNOME 2 menus. If you want to edit any menu other than Favorites, you must be root.

    To edit the menus, launch Nautilus, and enter the URL applications:///. From there you should be able to edit your entire application menu.

  13. How do I use GTK+ 2 resource settings for GTK+ 2 applications when not in a GNOME environment?

    GNOME 2 applications get their GTK+ 2 resources from themes and the corresponding theme engine. If you would rather run your GTK+ 2 applications in a non-GNOME environment then you will need to create a file named ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

    To use the widgets from a GTK+ 2 theme when in a non-GNOME environment, simply include the theme's gtk-2.0/gtkrc in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0. For example: 

    include "/usr/X11R6/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

    If you prefer, you can use the same GTK+ 1.2 theme for both GTK+ 1.2 and GTK+ 2 applications, which will give your GTK+ programs a consistent look. For the most part, you can transfer your settings from your ~/.gtkrc file (used for GTK+ 1.2) with a couple of caveats.

    1. If you have any theme engine references, you will have to make sure there is a corresponding GTK+ 2 theme engine. Otherwise, remove the engine entries.
    2. The default font specification should be outside of any style blocks and should be specified with the gtk-font-name keyword. For example: 
      gtk-font-name = "Verdana 11"

  14. How do I configure settings for GNOME 1.4 applications under GNOME &gnomever;?

    Install sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter, then invoke gnomecc from the command line to bring up the GNOME 1.4 control center.

  15. Nautilus-cd-burner does not let me burn CDs. How can I fix this?

    Nautilus-cd-burner cannot write to CD/DVD burners if support for those devices is not enabled in the kernel, or if the permissions on the device nodes do not allow write access. Nautilus-cd-burner talks to CD/DVD burners through the SCSI CAM subsystem. Therefore, you must make sure you have the following configured in your kernel :

     device          scbus
 device          cd
 device          pass

    You must also make sure you have the following configured in your kernel if you are using an ATAPI CD/DVD burner:

     device		atapicam

    To figure out which CD/DVD drive you will be using, run the following command as root:

     # camcontrol devlist

    Your output will look similar to the following:

     <QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242 UD22>		at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0)

    The devices in parentheses at the end are important. You must make sure the /dev entries for those devices are writable by the users that will be using nautilus-cd-burner. In addition to those devices, /dev/xpt* must also be writable to your nautilus-cd-burner users. The following /etc/devfs.conf configuration will achieve the desired results given the above devlist (NB: devfs.conf is only supported on FreeBSD 5.x):

     perm    acd0    0666
 perm    cd0     0666
 perm    xpt0    0666
 perm    pass0   0666

    On FreeBSD 4.x, you can simply set the device node permissions, and they will be preserved across reboots. Note that you must use the 'c' device nodes on FreeBSD 4.x (e.g. acd0c, cd0c, etc.).

    This was posted to announce@freebsd.org:

    The FreeBSD Foundation has secured a license from Sun Microsystems to distribute a native FreeBSD version of both the Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Thanks to the great efforts of the FreeBSD Java team, these should be available for inclusion with the upcoming release of FreeBSD 4.5 in January, 2002.

    The general availability of a distributable version of Java will benefit end users, commercial users, and developers who use FreeBSD. Java continues to grow in popularity and has become heavily used in server side web applications, one of FreeBSD's core areas of strength. With an officially licensed binary Java distribution, FreeBSD becomes an ideal platform for execution, development, and deployment of Java based solutions.

    This agreement would not have been possible without the efforts of Nate Williams. Nate not only started the FreeBSD Java porting effort, but also brought Sun Microsystems and the Foundation together to negotiate a license.

    You can find full text of the announcement here.

    Unfortunately, as told by Sun (we have no experience *yet*), running the JCK against the port is a difficult and time-consuming process. Hopefully it won't take us the 3 months that Sun expects it to take. :(

    Finally, there are still some issues regarding Motif® that need to be resolved before a full public release can be made. Sun is working on that front, and we need to try contacting the OpenGroup to see if we can get a special exception for Motif binary distributions to use in the JDK release.

May, 2000

  • May 3, 2000: Native JDK 1.2.2 port enters alpha test phase
    Greg Lewis has just announced that the native FreeBSD JDK 1.2.2 port has entered alpha test stage.
    In its current form, the port will build and run on most FreeBSD releases (3.4, 4.0 and 5.0 on x86) and work is being done on the others (2.2.8 on x86 and 4.0 alpha). Most demo applets and applications run.
    Currently we are looking for enthusiasts who are willing to spend a little time testing the new port. While this is not a trivial task, there are clear step-by-step instructions on how to build and use the port.
    The patches may be found, as usual on:
    http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/jdk.html

Project is coordinated by DRICOT Jean-Michel and will officially be maintained in http://student.ulb.ac.be/~jdricot/commapi/. Feel free to contact him if you want to join the project.

June, 1999

  • June 8, 1999: A small bug was found in the JDK1.1.8 release which affected people using UDP sockets. If you tried to send a packet to the broadcast address, the FreeBSD JDK refused with a permissions error. This error was fixed, and rather than re-releasing the entire release a small patchset was re-rolled for those folks who are experiencing this problem. If you experience this problem, feel free to download the gzipped tarfile and untar it wherever you installed the jdk. It will install itself over top of the old version. If you aren't experiencing the bug, there is no need to apply the patch, although it wouldn't hurt.
  • June 3, 1999: JDK1.1.8 for A.OUT and ELF releases. This release adds support for older 3.*/ELF releases (without requiring any runtime loader changes), as well as fixes bugs in LOCALE and timezone support for all FreeBSD releases.
    • jdk1.1.8_AOUT.V99-6-3.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 2.2.*, which use the A.OUT binary format.
    • jdk1.1.8_ELF.V99-6-3.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 3.* and 4.* which use the ELF binary format.
  • June 1, 1999: JDK2 status
    • Work on JDK1.2/JDK2 has been going very slow as the development team has been focusing it's effort on solid JDK1 releases. For most JDK2 development issues, you can use the JDK1 release and the Swing releases provided by Sun for JDK1, which works very well under FreeBSD.

April, 1999

  • Apr. 16, 1999: New JDK1.1.7 A.OUT release. This fixes build problems in the March release. A new ELF release will be made to support older 3.0 releases as well sometime in the near future.
    • jdk1.1.7_AOUT.V99-4-16.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 2.2.*, which use the A.OUT binary format.

March, 1999

  • Mar. 26, 1999: ELF support for JDK1.1.7, as well as a new A.OUT release which includes minor bugfixes.
    • jdk1.1.7_AOUT.V99-3-24.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 2.2.*, which use the A.OUT binary format.
    • jdk1.1.7_ELF.V99-3-25.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 3.x and 4 which use the ELF binary format. Note: This requires changes made to the runtime loader to support dladdr() functionality made on 1999/3/24. You will need to be running 3.1-stable or 4.0-current dated later than 1999/3/24. If you don't have the new loader binary or are not tracking -stable or -current, you can download it from here and install it as /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 (you need to be root to do this): 
      # install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 -C -fschg ld-elf.so.1 /usr/libexec
  • Mar. 16, 1999: Updates on current development:
    • ELF JDK1.1.7 : An ELF build of JDK1.1.7 (for use on FreeBSD 3.x and later) is currently entering it's initial internal testing phase. A beta release should be available in a few weeks.
    • JDK2 (aka JDK1.2): Several individuals are working on porting JDK2 to FreeBSD, but the work is progressing slowly. This is primarily due to a lack of developer time to work on this project. (The release of Blackdown's JDK2 port will assist our development when they release their source diffs.)

December, 1998

  • Dec. 21, 1998: jdk1.1.7.V98-12-21.tar.gz.
    • Bugfix version of JDK1.1.7. Thanks go to Keith White who tracked down a couple annoying (and serious) bugs in the JDK, notably the modulo bug. This release also has the 256 file-descriptor limit bumped up to 2048. The JRE should also be much more usable, again thanks to Keith.

November, 1998

  • Nov. 14, 1998: jdk1.1.7.V98-11-5.tar.gz.
    • Updated to JDK1.1.7. Thanks go to Patrick Gardella patrick@freebsd.org who provided most of the testing for this release.

September, 1998

  • Sept 23, 1998: jdk1.1.6.V98-9-23.tar.gz.
    • The August 14 build had jre incorrectly linked in both the JDK and the JRE, so a new release was rebuilt with the correct linkage. Otherwise, there were no changes from the older release.

August, 1998

  • Aug 22, 1998:
    • Updated page to list numerous sites who have agreed to mirror the JDK and provide ftp access. Thanks to all!
  • Aug 14, 1998: jdk1.1.6.V98-8-14.tar.gz.
    • The SO_REUSEADDR option is now correctly set on ServerSockets (may affect other sockets as well.)

July, 1998

  • July 21, 1998: jdk1.1.6.V98-7-21.tar.gz.
    • Updated port to JDK1.1.6. Thanks go to Keith White kwhite@site.uottawa.ca who did most of the work to make this release happen!
    • More standard 'naming' for java.version and such.
    • Fixes for UDP/Multicast sockets.
    • The signal abort error may be fixed (knock on wood).
    • Add support for the "KOI8-R" and "CP866" encodings.
    • Timezone's now work correctly under FreeBSD (this required some native code, but it is embedded in the JDK so shouldn't affect users. However, FreeBSD has one of the few (only?) VM's that correctly support Timezones now).
    • sysRmdir() now correctly removes directories.
    • Link in the xpg4 library to support CJK locales.

May, 1998

  • May 5, 1998:
    • Updated page to include instruction on how to get Sun's JWS (Java Work Shop) working under FreeBSD.

February, 1998

  • February 25, 1998: jdk1.1.5.V98-2-25.tar.gz.
    • JDK's built on 2.2.2 should now work again.
    • The AWT now correctly sets the Window name.
    • Fixed obscure bug that could cause a core dump if you hit a button in a dialog box multiple times.
    • Fixed bug where SHMEM wasn't released when using images, causing a leak.
    February 12, 1998:
    • Johan Larsson graciously provided an ftp mirror site for the JDK, so if you have an aversion to using HTTP, then feel free to grab it from his site.
    • Replaced the 'Steaming Cup of Java' logo with the 'Jump to Java' logo, which is more politically (and legally) acceptable to SUN's lawyers.
    February 9, 1998: jdk1.1.5.V98-2-8.tar.gz.
    • Fixed bugs in Process.waitFor()
    • Modified the way the Motif library was linked in. This will allow anyone with a Motif library (static or dynamic) to build their own JDK once the patchkit is released. If their Motif license allows for it, they can also make binary releases available.
    • Non blocking reads on PIPE did not work reliably on all versions of the OS.
    • Multicast now works.

January, 1998

  • January, 1998:
    • Organization of FreeBSD 'JDK' porting team, which now jointly creates new JDK releases for FreeBSD.
    • New JDK1.1.5 binary, which has Motif statically compiled in. (Unfortunately, this release was lost in a disk crash on the ftp server.)

Overview

Kernel Scheduler Entities (KSE), is a kernel-supported threading system similar in design to Scheduler Activations [Anderson, et. al.]. It strikes a balance between user-level (1:N) and kernel-level (1:1) threading models, giving most of the advantages of both, and few of the disadvantages of either.

There are two halves of this project: kernel support and user support. The kernel support consists of modifications to the - FreeBSD scheduler; The user half is a POSIX threads implementation + FreeBSD scheduler; The user half is a &posix; threads implementation which takes advantage of the extra facilities the kernel provides.

The goal is to replace the current user threading system provided by the libc_r library, and the -pthread gcc option, with a new libpthread library which will be linked with the -lpthread gcc option.

Using KSE

All KSE development is being done in 5.0-CURRENT. No special kernel configuration options are required to build a kernel with the KSE-related changes (the changes are inextricable from the FreeBSD scheduler).

In order to use KSE in an application, you need to link it against libpthread; this is straightforward. In the application's makefile(s), change the -pthread compiler switch or -lc_r link option to -lpthread and relink. Alternatively, you can use /etc/libmap.conf to map libc_r to libpthread (see libmap.conf(5)).

Project Goal -

The FreeBSD C99 & POSIX Conformance Project aims +

The FreeBSD C99 & &posix; Conformance Project aims to implement all requirements of the ISO 9899:1999 (C99) and IEEE 1003.1-2001 (POSIX) standards. In cases where aspects of these standards cannot be followed, those aspects will be documented in the c99(7) or posix(7) manuals. It is also an aim of this project to implement regression tests to ensure correctness whenever possible.

Project Plan

All of the initial development takes place in the 5-CURRENT branch and most changes are merged into the 4-STABLE branch. Since this is a rather large project and is being done on a volunteer basis, there is no set schedule.

How to Contribute

The project is always looking for additional contributors. If you wish to participate, the best way to find out what is happening is to subscribe to the freebsd-standards mailing list. If you are working on a specific task relating to the project, you should contact mike@FreeBSD.org with a description of the task so that your task can be listed below.
