Since you're still getting that error message, you obviously didn't succeed at turning off the getty. If you're not getting that message any more, what symptoms *do* you see? Is there a getty (or something else) configured in your /etc/ttys?

Re: xfce-4.4.1_1 strange behavior with Launch Desktop Icons.

I just finish doing a upgrade of Xorg 7.2 to 7.3 because I was having an issue with my keyboard and mouse using 7.2. In any case the reason I am posting this is because after the upgrade, I launch xfce4 using startx and all went ok, yet when I am in my desktop and I try assessing the home or filesystem icons, they just appear to blink and never get launched, is any of you having this issue, I am not sure if this is a software bug that xfce4 is having. If any experience this, please elaborate. Lisandro Hi Lisandro, have you got Thunar installed? those icons launch your file manager, which by default is the Thunar file manager. I am not sure if there is a way to replace it for other. You may want to check ~/.xsession-errors to see if there are any errors being issued by xfdesktop or Thunar itself. Hi. I also got into trouble after upgrade 7.2 - 7.3: Starting xfce took a very long time. I find the following in my .xsession-errors: ** (xfdesktop:43005): WARNING **: org.xfce.Trash.QueryTrash failed: The name org.xfce.FileManager was not provided by any .service files ... ** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse grab. ** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse grab. ** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse grab. ** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse grab. I thought, this is because I can't run hald (crashes the machine instantly) and Thunar complains about not finding hald (saw this, when I startet xfce via startx on console I think; I can't find it now in the logs - so not the exact message, sorry). Maybe, this information can help you (and me ;) with xfce Ciao, Karsten -- Karsten Rothemund [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ PGP-Key: 0x7019CAA5 \ / Fingerprint: E752 C759 B9B2 2057 E42F \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign 50EE 47AC A7CE 7019 CAA5 / \ Against HTML Mail and News pgpMc7ENlPPyl.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Failed to load module pcidata

The system did start up without any error messages or missing module problems. Went the same way. Now, I am experiencing a new problem. I use 'xfce4' for the windows manager. It starts to load, then the system just crashes. I have the Xorg.0.log file, etc. I am attempting to rebuild the entire 'xfce4' meta port and retry starting the program. If it fails again, I will start a new thread regarding this problem. Same here. And I ended by installing the whole xorg meta port. Some important packages seemed to be missing after the portupgrade from xorg 6.9. Now xfce4 starts again, but I have a lot of packages here :-/ (Maybe, I try to deinstall some of them later) Ciao, Karsten -- Karsten Rothemund [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ PGP-Key: 0x7019CAA5 \ / Fingerprint: E752 C759 B9B2 2057 E42F \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign 50EE 47AC A7CE 7019 CAA5 / \ Against HTML Mail and News ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I hav something like this in my /etc/fstab: md/tmp mfs rw,-s64m 2 0 Is the above similar and the more modern way?
