This provides you will the basic functionalities of XFCE 4. You
pointed out correctly that there are tools someone might want to
install afterwards. You gave some good suggestions.

The sysutils category of the ports offers even more little plugins
for operations and diagnostics that might be useful at some point.

If you're interested, I'd recommend these articles to have a look
at, in case you want a "standard look". :-)

Don't mind it's from a Linux blog, it will work in FreeBSD, too.

I don't know whether it's you or your email client, but your quoting is

It is not really a random guess, x11-wm/xfce4 is the metaport you need 
to build for a working XFCE4 environment.
There are a couple of additional tools you may also wish to use in this 
environment. I would recommend graphics/ristretto for a lightweight 
image viewer,  sysutils/thunar-volman-plugin to handle mounting of 
external media, sysutils/xfce4-battery-plugin if running on a laptop.

Apache and Courier IMAP are just not stopped during deinstall stage
(IIRC). You can use AFTERINSTALL in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to
start MySQL after upgrade.

It's in the pkg-list.  The first line is "@stopdaemon mysql-server", so
any time you upgrade the port, it kills mysql.  Enough ports do this,
and it's so annoying, that I recommend just disabling it completely:

Some ports run the rc.d script themselves on uninstall (sysutils/hal,
for exmaple), so you have to edit the pkg-plist file and remove the
unexec line from those manually.

This is a per-port thing, unless portupgrade provides some form of
rc.subr script restarting itself.  There is no "standard" for this.

MySQL not restarted after portupgrade

2008-11-02 Thread Andrew Berry

Hi,

For some reason, after running portupgrade databases/mysql51-server,  
MySQL is brought down, but not restarted. It's not a huge issue, as I  
just have to remember to run the rc.d script after upgrading, but I  
was wondering if anyone else had seen this? portupgrade seems to work  
fine with other daemons such as Apache and Courier IMAP.


Thanks,

Ok now that you have all let off steam about the off topic of desktop verses
ms/windows lets return the meaning of the  original poster.


I spent this weekend playing with kde4 as root and had problems with it 
not
working.
Could not change the displayed time to from 20.00.00 to 8:00PM
When I changed the resolution from the default to 800x600 and the refresh
rate to 60.0 many of the applications did not auto fit to the new setting
and the change would not carry over between logons.
Some times the desktop just froze up and had to do alt-ctrl-backspace to
force return to command line.
When I changed the font type and size to use, the change would not carry
over between logons.
Could not find a way to remove items from the menu.
Some icons would not display at all.
Koffice was missing.
Not all the application use the new window format which has the option to
return to menu that launched it. Only has x out to return to desktop screen.

Bottom line is imho kde4 is not stable, is not ready for general use. Needs
more development and testing. Should only be contained in the development
ports category.

And what about OS X? To me it seems it's a combination of the
user-friendliness of Windows with the power of *NIX.  And lots of

This might be applicable:

I recently send Yong-Hyeon PYUN an Asus P5Q SE motherboard, solely to
develop a driver for the Attansic L1 chip that's on the motherboard.
After a few weeks he returned to me a driver called ate(4), which
supports the Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 NICs.  The description I
got, as well as the driver:

"Ok, here is a working driver, ate(4), for Atheros AR8121/AR8113
and AR8114. It passed minimal functional requirement of network
driver of FreeBSD but it still needs more test and cleanups.
I'm not sure you have hardwares to test ate(4) but if you have
it give it a try. Note it seems that the hardware, at least AR8121,
has checksum offload bug so I disabled Tx side checksum offload.
TSO seems to work though.

The Tx performance is 920Mbps or higher but Rx performance
is 850~870 Mbps which is lower than Tx. It also requires a lot of
CPU cycles to push the hardware to limit but I think it comes from
hardware limitation not from ate(4) itself."

There is absolutely no guarantee that this is the same exact NIC used on
the Asus Eee, but there's a chance.

This driver isn't publicly available yet, and I do not feel comfortable
sending it to people here without Yong-Hyeon's permission.  I've CC'd
him so he can put it up on freebsd.org somewhere and let folks test it,
assuming it will/does work with the Asus Eee.

Ah, this is not a DNS problem.

You are trying to run freebsd-update from 6.3-STABLE.  This isn't
supported.  From the freebsd-update(8) manpage:

"The FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in
binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team, e.g., FreeBSD
6.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, but not FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE or FreeBSD

I don't know if this is the last information. I have an eeePC 900 and not
the 1000. Write to the autors of the page, maybe they know if someone is
already working on it. In any case you could install from an USB key as
described here http://www.unixarea.de/installEeePC.txt
and Wifi will work, I think.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to find out when a release is really likely 
to get out the door is probably to check the GNATS system for major bugs and 
follow the goings-on over on the stable, hackers, and other 
development-oriented mailing lists.  There hasn't been an RC for 7 yet, so it 
still has a ways to go.  6.4-R will probably be out the door in a matter of 
weeks, as RC2 just got tagged a couple of days ago.  Hint: look for kensmith 
commits to newvers.sh for a much quicker heads-up on activity than you'll get 
from the schedule on the website.  ;)

Hi Matthias

Thanks for the wikipage. I quote from there:

Atheros L1 FastEthernet
This one is second generation of L1 controller which is supposed to be
heavily modified by Atheros after acquiring Attansic. This controller
uses different bits/meaning in register layouts and seems to use
different descriptor formats. This is not supported by the age(4)
driver. 

In clear text: at the moment there is no driver available? Is this
correct?

Are you dead set on using awk(1)?

Because my first thought would be rs(1).

cat inputfile | rs 0 7

To turn your space-separated entries into 7 columns. You may need some 
fiddling about (to avoid running out of memory, space on the line, etc).

This is one of my top three sadly-neglected BSD commands everyone should know 
more about, along with lam(1) and jot(1).

IMHO, if they are waiting until FBSD-7.1 can be certified as 'bug free', then 
it might never be released. However, if they are simply waiting to insure that 
all known bugs are squashed, then it probably won't be too much longer.

Personally, I think the fact that the latest version of Perl has been out for 
nearly a year now and yet there is no sign of it in the ports system.

Just in case you've never discovered column, piping the output of this
to column -t will get you nice formatting for free.

Re: Is KDE4 usable on FreeBSD?

2008-11-02 Thread Graham Bentley

I left KDE after version 2 as it then seemed to
go in the wrong direction (more features / bloat?)
http://www.kde.org/screenshots/kde2shots.php
In fact, if 2.n would compile on 7.0 I'd have 
another look.


Since then I've been quite a fan of XFCE but found
myself slowly but surely converting to minimalism
i.e. the least needed to get done what I need done!

On my desktop FreeBSD this amount to about 6 jobs 
and for those twm fits the bill perfectly.

What is SV lookup and how do I check this, any particular man page or resource?

Where (or how) is my DNS likely to be "broken"?
