Re: Difficulties to launch KDE
Sunday 23 October 2005 17:13 skrev Michał Masłowski: Hello: I am sure you will find my problem quite easy. I just installed FreeBSD 5.4, and I configured KDE and related configurations according with the handbook. My .xinitrc file contains only the line: echo exec startkde. When I type startx everything seems to be well, but KDE doesn't start. There are no errors reported or anything pointing to the problem, except a line at the end which reads: xauth: (argv):1: bad display name Monique.gateway.2wire.net:0 in remove command I am behind a wireless modem-router with domain name gateway.2wire.net. I do not know what command remove is referred here or where it occurs, and how to fix it. No entry like this in xorg.conf. I will appreciate any help. Teilhard. Do you have exec startkde in .xinitrc ? echo exec startkde is used to put it in a file. If this problem still occurs, read startx's man page. I don't know anything about xauth. Well, .xinitrc only needs to contain startkde.. the echo thing will only write it to the terminal you use to start X with.. your xauth problem is probably due to your hostname not being in your /etc/hosts.. just add it under localhost and you should be fine.. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Preloading of shared libraries
Hey.. I wondered if it was possible to load a selection of shared libraies into the cache at boot time.. I figure that it would speed up starting things.. like the KDE login manager for instance.. hm.. is this possible? .. and if so.. would it speed up the process of starting stuff at all?.. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At one point, you could set the sticky bit on files as a hint to the pager to try and keep them in memory, which was intended for things like /bin/sh, cron, login, and maybe libc. aah.. I always wondered what the sticky bit actually did.. Whether it would help in your particular case is harder to say, how much RAM does your machine have, and what kind of CPU? Some people believe that KDE requires excessive resources for what it does, consider fluxbox or something more lightweight... No problem when when it comes to resources.. ( I have an ordinary x86 2,6 GHz Celeron CPU and 768 mb DDR RAM ) I tried fluxbox once.. didn't like it though.. but that's just a matter of taste.. just thought I'd try KDE as a change as I've previously only used wm's like EvilWM, LWM, TWM an Co.. .. so, there isn't a program that doesn't do anything but load a shared object into memory and then close? .. hm.. if all it takes is to call open() for a sticky-bit file to stay in memory, I'd gladly write that program myself :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: traffic accounting per username with ipfw in 5.4 ? (more)

Can someone clarify for me what is going on with regard to what used to be called IPFW2, FreeBSD 5.x, and per-user traffic counting ? thanks. ipfw2 replaced ipfw in 5.x Read the manpage more carefully, please. Search for uid option. Thanks - I was searching for username and getting nowhere. Also, thank you for the clarification regarding ipfw2/ipfw and their current state. I notice that the traffic accounting per uid only applies to traffic initiated by that user, and initiated from the local machine. If I scp a file away from the machine (as user X) the traffic does not get incremented, and if I scp a file to the local machine (as user X) it also does not get incremented - even though those are non-anonymous actions that occur under the auspices of a particular username. Doe anyone have any suggestions for traffic accounting (of particularly ssh traffic) on a per user basis, for _all_ traffic that occurs under the auspices of that username, and not just what _they themselves_ initiate, personally, in their own login shell ? Thank you. I've looked a bit into this, and it appears that sshd changes uid in FreeBSD 6.0 (I use 6.0RC1) .. I bet upgrading the system would be a lot easier than constructing a complex traffic-accounting system.. I'd think so at least.. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Basic Port Management.Is there any?
Monday 31 October 2005 10:00 skrev George Katsanos: Hello ! , As a fresh Freebsd user[and fan] I am trying to set up my WM / X environment and choose the apps I will use for basic stuff. Text Editors , Image viewers , Mail apps , FileManagers. So after I see some screenshots [it would be very nice and handy if some screenshots could be added to the freebsd.org/ports database] I'm making install the port to check it out. Some times , I decided that I don't like it . So my first though is to get rid of it , cause I don't want ''trash'' on my system. I'm making deinstall [or pkg_delete] to remove it. Everything ok so far , but what about the one zillion dependant pkg's the app made? You can say , do a pkg_delete -r . Yes but this will may delete also pkgs that are Needed by other ports/apps.. Is there any good plan solution for this ?... well.. if you issue a `pkg_info -r pkg_name` command you will see all the packages that the package pkg_name depends on.. As for ports' management I'd recommend installing sysutils/portupgrade some people like sysutils/portmanager better though.. but I can't really say I'm familliar with that though.. the portupgrade port is a set of utilities to help you manage your installed ports.. it's got pkg_deinstall which seems to have what you seek pkg_deinstall -R would deinstall a package's dependencies as well ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's not entirely true, it's really only portupgrade and it's associated tools that have a serious problem with stale dependencies. Portmanager is much more forgiving, as is direct make install installation.
