Last night I attempted to install xfce4 from /usr/ports/x11-wm and it stopped with error: gtk-update-icon-cache-(version): Needs cairo build with X11 support (sorry, don't recall version off the top of my head) I remember that cairo was installed before getting to gtk-update-icon-cache. I checked /etc/make.conf and there is nothing X11 related, ie WITHOUT_X11 is NOT set. I went over to /usr/ports/graphics/cairo and did a make config, did not see anything about X11 as an option, did a make install clean and I saw libX11 in the output.. Think it's ok. Then I went back to /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 and redid make install clean to build... it continued on without further issue (so far :) I found another post about gtk-update-icon-cache and cairo/X11 but it does not appear to be a related issue. At the moment the xfce4 build is working for me, so my issue is resolved.. But not sure why I received the error, might be something to check out? Is there a better place to report potential issues with RC versions? Excited about 9 on the netbook, I tried FreeBSD 7.0 when i first got the Acer but could not get wireless working at the time so i scrapped it. Thanks, Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA Hit another snag, seems to be related to doxygen. (still) Installing xfce4 from /usr/ports/x11-wm with a fresh install of FreeBSD 9.0-RC3 / FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img on an Acer Aspire One netbook... Seems to be going in an infinite loop of dependency checking. I'm getting a 'make max recursion 500 error' and the build bombs out. Just to see I went to /usr/ports/devel/doxygen and make clean then make install with same results. Just now starting to troubleshoot but if anyone has any hints that would be great! :) Thanks Waitman ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: XFCE4 Errors on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE
Warren, Got XFCE4 installed after a get amount of tweaking. It turns out Portsnap did not update all the appropriate files so installed portupgrade and did a portupgrade glib. Glib was not the current version needed for usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4. After the portupgrade make install clean worked like a champ. My /etc/hosts file was also missing the current domain so needed to update that. Was getting a fbdev error so downloaded http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev and that fixed that error.

If another process is running, dbus-daemon only hogs about 50% of the CPU, but this is still frustrating. If, for example, I am compiling a port, dbus-daemon takes about 50% of my CPU time, leaving only half the processor's time for compiling. I am fairly new to xfce, and googling the issue hasn't helped me out. Any ideas? How can I fix dbus so it doesn't use so much CPU, or how can I disable it completely? I know it is used for inter-application communication, but I'm not entirely sure I need it (I don't see any adverse effects when I kill it manually). I don't see anything unusual in /var/log/messages, nor any errors in ~/.xsession-errors. Thanks for the help, Charlie I've run into this before (along with other dbus/Thunar issues) and it was only fixed by building XFCE from source. Installing from the package has always caused problems for me. I run XFCE on three workstations -- though I run -STABLE -- all of them had the same problem. I know, not much help.

What can I do else to enable reboot/shutdown options? Thank you in advance! Andriy sudo had segfault issues that I believe were corrected today thanks to a few porter's hard work. Update your ports again and see if the issue still occurs for you.

Is the ports system offering a solution here? maybe something like: make reinstall IF CATEGORIES IS xfce4 If you use portupgrade, you should be able to do something like: # portupgrade -fR xfce\* You can add the -n and -v flags to do a dry run and make sure that it's going to do the right thing. This is the safest bet if you're worried about any libraries having changed version or location since it will recurse all the way up the dependency tree to include things like xorg-libraries and gtk20. If you don't want to recompile e.g. any part of xorg, add an exclusion or two: # portupgrade -fR -x xorg\* xfce\* And if you really want to only rebuild xfce-specific packages, just use a wildcard and leave out the -R flag: # portupgrade -f \*xfce\* Regards, JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You either need to update your system to get the
newer /etc/rc.d/cleartmp, or do manually what
is done in there at the bottom of the script:
x11_socket_dirs=/tmp/.X11-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix \
/tmp/.font-unix /tmp/.XIM-unix
# Create socket directories with correct permissions
# to avoid security problem.
rm -fr ${x11_socket_dirs}
mkdir -m 1777 ${x11_socket_dirs}
