transferring data (after losing all non-root logins)

2003-06-23 Thread David Syphers
I recently forgot my root password, rebooted single-user and changed it, and immediately afterwards the computer denied the existence of any non-root users (home directories still there for those that had them, they still have login shells, etc.). This was the only change made to the system. This i

trouble with ogle performance after going to 5.0-R

2003-02-01 Thread David Syphers
I recently installed 5.0-R (and KDE 3.1, thus the cc:). Ogle now has terrible performance - very jerky. Last weekend, when this computer (an Athlon XP 1800+) had 4-stable and KDE 3.0.5, ogle perfomance on the same DVD was perfectly smooth. Since ogle didn't change, I assume it's something to do

xfree86 4?

2002-01-06 Thread David Syphers
What are the plans about replacing XFree86 3.3.6 with XFree86 4? The -current archives have a message saying this replacement already took place last October, but the JP SNAP I installed last November certainly wasn't aware of that fact, and the current.freebsd.org snapshot from January 6 stil

How should I install XFree86 4.0.2 on a system running a -current snapshot from January 20? I tried downloading the binaries from xfree86.org, but Xinstall.sh complained that my extract file was bad (it wasn't), and when I ran 'sh Xinstall.sh -check' it told me that "binaries are not available
