Re: Portupgrade used to be fun!!!
I used to have issues with portupgrade as well. I traced my problem to using the wrong portupgrade. I have been using portupgrade for several months without an issue ( except the Xorg 7 transition ). Make sure to use /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade and not /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade I also follow the following port method, as per the handbook suggestion: portsnap fetch portsnap update method. This has worked without an issue for me. I am running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8. I hope this helps. - Antonio Arredondo PhD Student NMSU Computer Science Department http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~aarredon/ - On Sat, 27 Oct 2007, E. J. Cerejo wrote: Not anymore! Every time I cvsup my ports tree and I see all of those ports that need to be updated my belly aches and that's because portupgrade doesn't work the way it used to work. It is not fun any more! Always an issue, either a port conflicts with another port or it fails all together. I have forgotten the last time I updated my ports without any issues. Today scrollkeeper is conflicting with rarian, they install files on the same directory. Did you have a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING ? (I guess you have got a problem with the latest gnome.)

Re: X server remote login and sound
Dear mailing list, First of all, thanks you for the thread X server remote login I read it and configured a FreeBSD as follows: # cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg make install clean # cd /usr/ports/x11/wdm make install clean # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox-devel make install clean Then I configured according to: http://www.damnsmallbsd.org/~helio/#GUI After that I fired up wdm, installed Xming from Sourceforge on a windows machine, fired up XLaunch and hey presto remote FreeBSD desktop! Now the follow-up question. How do I squeeze sound through? I want vlc running on the FreeBSD desktop to play sound on the Xming:ed Windows machine. Grateful for any input on the matter. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Roger, Not sure if the sound will work via a session from windows, but here is the info that I used to run thin client desktops with sound. First thing you need is a network sound daemon. I used esd, a bit old, but is does have support for other apps. I then set a esd to run in public mode on the server, 'esd --public --nobeeps' ( check man esd for more options ). Once the sound daemon is running, login to the machine, fire up vlc. You should then be able to set the audio output in vlc options to the ip of the machine that is launching the remote session. This did the trick for me. On the other hand if you just want audio, I recommend xmms. It supports many audio formats. It also has the advantage of not needing the additional overhead that vlc does for video. xmms has a plugin for esd that you will need to use to get the audio to work with your window session. Hope this helps, Antonio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if you wanted that flag passed, you would place startx -listen_tcp in your .login file. On the client side, you're running an x-client, I presume that gets started from /etc/rc.conf. There's probably something like xorg_enable=YES, and xorg_flags=blah, and you would put it in your xorg_flags statement. Xserver/Xclient side is still a bit confusing to me. What happens is, when I logon to a solaris machine I get a login screen on which I also can logon to remote machines graphicaly. I can even chose from a list there, because these remote machines broadcast themselves? All solaris machines are seen; my FreeBSD machines are not. The latter I want changed, so I can chose to logon to a FreeBSD (remote) machine from my solaris desktop machine. Hope this will clear things up a bit. As another user pointed out; what you're looking for is xdm. xdm is xorg's remote login screen, for lack of a better description; it's what will allow you to directly login to X from other stations, rather than via shell/startx. You might want to take a look at alternatives too - I use kdm, which is KDE's implementation of xdm, allowing you a little easier and a little more control over the login screen/appearence via KDE''s graphical configuration setup, but functionally the same as xdm. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not sure if this issue has been resolved, but I found that the 'Xstartup' file is missing from the xorg install of xdm ( /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm ). I found I needed this file to get xdm to properly login. If not, xdm will not allow remote connection to connect. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
