Installing GNOME

2007-05-13 Thread Jerome Warnier
Hi, I just tried the latest installation CD of GNU/kFreeBSD today. It seems to work fine, except several things. The first one is that I cannot get to install GNOME. Several unsolvable dependencies are making it impossible, while it works in GNU/Linux Sid. How should I report this, and how could

kbdcontrol: typo in initscript

Does tmpfs exist at all on FreeBSD?

2007-05-14 Thread Jerome Warnier
I found yet another bug, in /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh this time (package initscripts). It tries to mount a tmpfs on /lib/init/rw. The offending lines at the beginning are: RW_OPT= [ ${RW_SIZE:=$TMPFS_SIZE} ] RW_OPT=,size=$RW_SIZE domount tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs

ifconfig error message on shutdown

2007-05-30 Thread Jerome Warnier
Hi guys, Yet another problem needing a fix: On shutdown, ifdown is trying to call ifconfig with -i parameter, which does not exist on BSD's ifconfig and spits out an ugly error message. As ifdown is a compiled binary, I cannot easily fix it myself or propose a suitable patch. Hope it helps --

Building latest GNOME

Hi guys, It's really hard to refrain from crying when your beloved GNOME is not installable on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Sid for a long time. Don't get me wrong: I do not just want to be the only person on Earth to be able to install GNOME on its PC. I would like to make it a breeze for anybody to do

Building Network-Manager

2007-07-11 Thread Jerome Warnier
I'm still working from time to time on a working GNOME on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Sid. The blocking issue I get now is that there is a build-dependency on libnl for n-m. Libnl is indeed closely tied to Netlink (so Linux-specific). Anyone working on this? May I help somewhat? Regards -- Jérôme

Problem pointing /bin/sh to dash

2007-07-14 Thread Jerome Warnier
On Debian GNU/Linux (starting from Etch), I'm used to replace the /bin/sh link to /bin/dash (points to /bin/bash by default). It fails very badly (the system is almost unusable after reboot) because /bin/mount is a shell script (from package freebsd-utils) using exec -a (exec is a shell builtin),

Applications tracing on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
