Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this so difficilt?????
I'll answer for each point here, if its okay: Step 0. cvsup your ports tree. Ports tree already cvsup'd (three times since yesterday morning) Step 0.5 Install portupgrade from /usr/ports/portupgrade. Learn how to properly use the new tools, especially the -R and -r flags to portinstall/portupgrade. Portupgrade is already installed ( and I can't upgrade something that isn't already installed, or am I wrong?) I haven't tried portinstall.., how is this different to running make make install clean in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2? portinstall -R gnome2 Again, I've not tried portinstall for gnome2 either. Seeing that gnome2 flaked out on the gle error, would make distclean be sufficient for removing the bins that got downloaded for this failed install? Thanks for the information here.

It can also be worth running make fetch as your first step to install a port as that simply downloads any files you are missing for that port (although not dependencies). 2] To do the install of XFree86-4 anyways, what I did was pkg_delete of XFree86- 3 in /var/db/pkg; rm -rf /usr/X11R6/*, then editing /etc/make.conf to reflect that the XFree version is now 4 Since 4.6 I believe the default X has been 4 making such a config redundant. It might be worth running through /etc/defaults/make.conf and seeing if you need to change anything else. If you're not using 4.6 then don't worry about it.

Matrox 450 DualHead for dual console?
Is there a utility to enable both outputs of the Matrox 450 in console mode? Matrox's PowerDesk utility does this for X, and after quitting X, the console output is shown on both. However, PowerDesk wants to overwrite my working X config with a non-working one. All I'm looking for is the same output to be present on both monitors, but for the console (text mode) as well as X. (The result would be a system with two sets of keyboards and monitors, usable from either.

Re: Installing gnome2 with XFree86-4 - Why is this sodifficilt?????
On Sun, 2002-07-21 at 14:55, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the explanation of the points I raised. For this point you've made: The important thing to remember is the -R and -r switches which distinguish the entire portupgrade system from make install. With the -R switch, everything that the port depends on will be upgraded *before* the port is upgraded. This solves many problems with meta-ports like gnome2. The problem with make install in a meta-port is that the make system is not smart enough to do the portupgrade -R function. To get this clear (taking for granted that you've written this as you really meant), whilst I understand what portupgrade -R does (this has been my preferred method of upgrading ports), what effect does portinstall have for attempts to install new apps, as against running make install? Spicifically, in a meta-port, if you look at how the dependencies are written, they are based on the existence of a specific file as installed, for instance the existence of the gnome-session file or the libfreetype.so.9 file. That is all that make can do. It cannot verify that the file was installed from the latest incarnation of the port, especially if the file name does not change between port revisions. portinstall works exactly like portupgrade in that it uses a combination of the /var/db/pkg information *and* the dependency list from the Makefiles, except that it recurses *outside* of the make system to determine whether or not the version installed as listed in /var/db/pkg is older than the version called for in the Makefile. Also, it uses pkg_delete to remove packages rather than make deinstall. If you use make deinstall *after* doing a cvsup, it will *not* remove an installation which has a different port revision number! That means that you package database becomes corrupted and you end up with multiple registered installations of the same port. Use pkgdb -F to see this. In other words, portinstall/portupgrade take care of all of the nitty-gritty details of making sure that you have a consistent installation. make install corrupts your package installation more often than not. I suggest that you try pkgdb -F and see what it says. /Joe Thanks for taking the time.

That's a little ambiguous. I, for one, Like to use a GUI on my main screen just so that I can have editor windows up and shells up at the same time and see the one while working in the other. I don't like using GUI *tools* for anything. So I use a GUI, but within the GUI I strictly use the CLI (shell), not the GUI tools. Did you mean do you prefer a GUI environment vs. a console or do you prefer GUI tools vs. command-line tools? PS: I'm not really an administrator, so I don't technically qualify the answer the question. Also, there is a little bit of a lie; there are two GUI tools I use: a full-screen editor is, let's face it, a big improvement over a line-oriented editor. I'll take vi over ed any old day of the week. And, for reasons I can't entirely explain, I really like very GUI mail programs. Go figure. But I stick with terminal-window tools for reading news and all system-administration functions and everything to do with my job. I really dislike things like WYSIWYG word processors, and much prefer LaTeX. So I'm about as much as a stick-in-the-mud as you're likely to find for everything but mail. Why, then, do I run KDE of all things (and really love it)? I dunno.

== pointer in galeon (and nt) under KDE3
I just updated my system after about six months, and this is surely the most trivial of issues, but . . . For some reason, now that I've updated my system to stable (as of Friday night) and also wiped out and reinstalled *all* of my packages and ports, I've run into a rather odd problem: In Galeon (and also in the nt executable from downloader), the pointer shape is a == even when the cursor is over menus and buttons and other things where you'd expect an arrow cursor. In the nt it seems to be everywhere except at the very bottom of the window. In the case of galeon, it *does* turn to arrow over the actual web page, but on the buttons and menus on the top it remains a ==. It does change to an i-bar in the text widgets, though. And on the bottom part of the window (below the web page) it turns into an up-and-down arrow through most of the bottom, and angled in the corners. It seems as if whoever is doing the arrows (window manager or window, I'm not sure) is very confused about the geometry of the Window and thinks of a huge portion of the window as being a grababble border. Yet you can't actually grab it--if you click you can't really grow or shrink the window except where you should be able to do so. Also, the actual title bar causes the pointer to revert back to a pointer. I run KDE and galeon is a gnome application, so that might explain some weirdness, but nt doesn't seem to be a gnome application. It doesn't happen for generic X applications like xterm, xvile, or (more significantly) xmcd. Though seemingly trivial, this is incredibly distracting.

Subject: How do I un-install mod_frontpage frontpage?
Might be a bit premature, given I've only been grappling with
this for just under a day, but I'm quite fed up with this
rubbish, to be blunt.
After having a perfectly working apache 1.3.26, how do I
remove mod_frontpage frontpage (both obtained via
/usr/ports/www) from my FBSD system?
Hi Stacey!
I replied to your other message from Friday in regards to the follow
symlinks problem. I would suggest removing mod_frontpage, frontpage,
and apache from your system and any manually remove directories that the
uninstall script is unable to remove.
Now that your server is back to a virgin state, try these instructions:
-
cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
make WITH_APACHE_PERF_TUNING=YES all install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/frontpage
make all install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage
chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/local/www/data.default
make all install clean
vi /usr/local/etc/httpd.conf -- make the changes according to
mod_frontpage/pkg_message
echo followsymlinks:1 /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/frontpage.cnf
/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/fp_install.sh
cd /usr/local/www/data
find . -name .htaccess -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -name _vti\* -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
-
I spent a few hours building these instructions to get a working
Apache-FP server.
