Re: Alternative windowmanagers
Something traditional on my laptop - I use Blackbox 07.01. It even takes less memory and appears a little more responsive then Fluxbox. Its a pity the developer didnt release any updates for years. Will see how long it stands with more contemporary Unix systems.

Of course, It must run under FreeBSD. I sniffed into AfterStep, fvwm2 and fluxbox (I don't want to use KDE). I think, fluxbox is a nice wm and for my future, it will be the default wm for me. It's also very fast and easy to configure. Are there any other window manager worth looking? What is your window manager? I *love* dwm for developping, I always start three terms, one for vim, one for compiling and one for manual pages :) It is my best way to write code efficiently. I also like much its features like autotagging, multitagging and direct support of non-resizeable windows. When I only use my desktop and don't want a tiled wm I'd rather use pekwm, it is fast and similar to fluxbox without a taskbar but with more features and a very easy config file syntax. Pekwm is absolutely perfect with its autoproperties, you can do almost what you want with any window :) Cheers, -- David Demelier ___ 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: High interrupt rate
I know 75% idle is not bad but this machine, when not under load on a saturday night like today, used to be at around 98% idle 99% of the time. Now its is at 72% idle 99.9% of the time. It has been like this all day. The only things with a high interrupt rate are cpu0: timer 46922025 2000 cpu1: timer 46918117 1999 What could be causing this? I don't know that 2 timer interrupts per-cpu, per kern.hz, is altogether unexpected for some configurations, under some conditions. What happens if you boot with kern.hz=100 in /boot/loader.conf, or set via the loader command line? What happens if you remove the DEVICE_POLLING option from your kernel (and _not_ just disable polling per-device)? What is the output from sysctl kern.timecounter kern.eventtimer? b. ___ 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: Howto's, Advice, Hints/Gotchas about livecd creation in FreeBSD
Though still in its infancy, my project brings some features that no others have: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/ I've not seen any other project utilize ISOLINUX as the boot-loader. Doing so has freed me from many restrictions. For example, my one single ISO can be written to either CD/DVD or USB or Hard Disk or SSD (without modification). Naturally, I'm not going to document how to burn an ISO (that should be pretty straight forward), but here's a link on how to write the ISO to either USB thumb drive (process is similar for HDD/SSD, just skip steps 2 and 3 because you presumably already know the device name associated with your target disk): 1. Visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/druidbsd/files/Druid-0.0.iso/download and download Druid-0.0.iso to a local directory. 2. Insert USB thumb drive 3. Execute: camcontrol devlist NOTE: find the `daN' device associated with your thumb drive 4. Execute: dd if=Druid-0.0.iso of=/dev/da5 NOTE: assuming `da5' is your thumb drive --- At this point, your thumb drive is ready to rock and roll -- However, continue with the remaining below steps to create a 2nd [visible] partition beyond the primary [invisible] bootable partition (allowing you to use the remainder of your thumb drive for usable storage)... 5. Execute: echo p 2 0x0c * * | fdisk -f - /dev/da5 NOTE: again, assuming `da5' is your thumb drive 6. Execute: newfs_msdos /dev/da5s2 NOTE: again, assuming `da5' is your thumb drive NOTE: You'll get a class not found response. Just ignore this. It's completely spurious. That's it. You now have a thumb drive with: a. An invisible boot partition for booting into Druid (a disc full of tools) b. A visible partition for storage, usable under Mac, Windows, Linux, and UNIX. NOTE/RECAP: Don't be fooled into thinking that this will work with just any-ol' ISO file. This works because (a) I am using the ISOLINUX boot-loader to chain-load to the FreeBSD mfsroot and (b) I've post-processed my ISO file (generated with mkisofs) with the ISOLINUX-isohybrid utility. Other advantages include the fact that the smallest possible ISO is 28MB, but can be grown to any size you want (my mfsroot remounts the CD-ROM through /dev/iso9660 GEOM structure). -- Thank you for this information. I built the package on my machine, but it replicates the effort. I just built the same iso that you have on your website. I would like to use the concept to make an iso of my running system, but don't know how. I had freesbie port installed, cd /usr/ports/sysutils/freesbie/; make install clean; Did not know how to proceed, found a powerpoint and it said, /usr/local/share/freesbie/freesbie, and it was going to be configured and one selects options. That was not the case, but I found a makefile in that directory and several options, so I try one, make and it fails :( See the error message: tricorehome# cd /usr/local/share/freesbie/ tricorehome# ls COPYING README extra Makefileconfscripts tricorehome# make Building world for amd64 architecture World build started on Sun Aug 7 22:52:50 CDT 2011 Rebuilding the temporary build tree stage 1.1: legacy release compatibility shims stage 1.2: bootstrap tools stage 2.1: cleaning up the object tree stage 2.2: rebuilding the object tree stage 2.3: build tools stage 3: cross tools stage 4.1: building includes stage 4.2: building libraries stage 4.3: make dependencies stage 4.4: building everything stage 5.1: building 32 bit shim libraries World build completed on Mon Aug 8 00:13:52 CDT 2011 Building kernel for amd64 architecture Kernel build for FREESBIE started on Mon Aug 8 00:13:52 CDT 2011 stage 1: configuring the kernel Something went wrong, check errors!
