Re: why I am upset
I am running KDE 4.8 from January on my Linux computer. Now is almost June and we got KDE 4.8 on FreeBSD too. 5 months testing and it works? No. The modern OS for the desktop computer doesn;t works. O.K. OS works but installatoon of 5 months testing of KDE doesn;t. so stop using trendy desktop and just start to do actual work and you will not be upset any more but happy. Desktop environments offer exactly zero value and do nothing. Just use fvwm2, maybe icewm, tune it to your needs and start working. use xterm as your start button by starting program you need from command like. configure fvwm2 to have multiple virtual desktop switchable by keystrokes so you will have something like standard text console just in X11 with ability to run X11 programs. in most cases - run one program on one virtual desktop. Multiple windows on screen is only fashionable but useless in practice. After a while you will end in removing every unneeded things that are only fashionable but just wastes time and monitor space. For example window frames and titles. Desktop environments are required so average winuser will not protest too much when i do X11 terminal based configuration. but i use gnome2 this case with gdm as it is far faster (==less slow) than KDE, and as well as KDE gives nothing but looks more windows-like. ___ 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
ports tree
Hi Would it be stupid idea to have publicly available, mountable (nfs) partition, with full port tree(s)? I think it would be good for systems with low storage space. I know hd space is cheap, but I run over and over to this problem. I don't know how easily it could be done, but some kind of session based temporary write permissions would be good too. To be able to make make install directly from mounted partition. I don't think very many people would need to have local personal copy of ports tree then. So, is this just stupid? ___ 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

I don't think very many people would need to have local personal copy of ports tree then. So, is this just stupid? Not stupid, but certainly impracticable. Remote mounting filesystems over the internet is not going to be anything like scalable, and the bandwidth requirements would be horrid. As an end-user, performance would suck -- inescapably, as you'ld be hit hard by latency. Basically, if you could afford the sort of network connectivity that would make such a setup feasible, then you could easily afford sufficient local storage that you wouldn't want to use a remote mount. Also, forget the idea of *writing* to any such share disk space. The security problems with that just don't bear thinking about. NFS mounting /usr/ports within a local network -- now, that's a completely different kettle of fish. You do need to tweak WRKDIRPREFIX if you're going to have several systems building from the same tree simultaneously, and it's probably going to be more effective for you to use one machine as a central package build server and just install from packages on your limited systems.

Re: why I am upset
I did use portmaster for KDE 4.8 update and it stopped: The devel/kdebindings4-python port has been deleted: kdebindings ports have been refactored. Update aborted. And I don't know how to save a problem. On Sat, May 26, 2012 at 8:47 AM, Michael Powell nightre...@hotmail.comwrote: Fernando Apesteguía wrote: [snip] Just serious now.

None of the obvious ideas were right, and this is looking really quite mysterious. You've only got even numbered versions of all.log backups, but they are spaced 1 day apart, which is the usual recycle timing for all.log. This is a clear-cut indication of _two_ processes running that rotate the logfiles. The first process to run works, and the second one bitches and moans, and -quits- (with the error shown about not being able to find the file original file to compress) *after* having rened the 1st back-up to the 2nd name. ___ 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

Looks fishy to me. Also, try with a generic kernel, just to check if that fails as well. I tried to remove the /usr/obj and remake the kernel by make buildkernel again but the error remains. I use 8.2-STABLE with a freshly updated RELENG_8 src. I do not build all kernel modules so I have the following in my make.conf MODULES_OVERRIDE = nfsserver linux linprocfs geom/geom_bde syscons/green However - I don't think this explains the misbehavior of kldxref. Can anybody give me a hint where to search for the bug?
