Re: KDE4 has no FolderView in FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE [SOLVED]
Just for the record, I found out that the package x11/kde4-baseapps was not in my system. By installing it many of the problems had on KDE4 solved.

KDE4 has no FolderView in FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE
Hello, I installed FreeBSD 9.1 4 days ago. After compiling KDE4 I cannot find the fodlerview plasmoid (shouldn't it be installed using the deskutils/kdeplasma- addons port?). I didn't find another port containing the plasmoid in question. In FreeBSD 8.3 I had it in my system...

Re: portsnap
Yeap. Same here: pluto# portsnap fetch update Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 6 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from ec2-eu-west-1.portsnap.freebsd.org... done. Latest snapshot on server matches what we already have. No updates needed. Ports tree is already up to date. How can it be possible? 3 years now that I use FreeBSD there was not even a single day that we didn't have updates in the ports tree.

Re: Auto-mounting sshfs from /etc/fstab
In the past I wanted to do so in my system. I had one server called pluto and I wanted to sshfs one directory from my laptop. The first thing I had to do was to make passwordless ssh from my laptop to the server (there are a lot of pages in the internet to explain how to do this, so I will not explain how-to...) When passwordless ssh login is possible then a line in your fstab like the following does the job: sshfs#your_username_here@pluto:/Common/ /Network_Folders/Pluto/ fuse BatchMode=yes,reconnect,allow_other,users,gid=users,umask=002 0 0 In this way the system automounts the directory /Common that exists in pluto in my local directory /Network_Folders/Pluto Of cource pluto must have a specific ip (or available through naming service e.t.c.). In my case it has a static IP so I had its declaration in /etc/hosts Hope this helped you Elias ___ 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: Massive portupgrade without being interrupted by configuration screens?
On Saturday 02 of October 2010 13:27:00 Thomas Mueller wrote: How can one do a massive portupgrade, as with -r or -R, without being interrupted by options configuration screens for many individual ports? Idea is to let it run unattended such as when I might run it starting just before bedtime. Doing make config ahead of time also gives the chance to recover from a typo at the configuration screen (high risk). Best thing I can think of is, using multimedia/ffmpeg as an example, is doing a dry run portupgrade -Rn multimedia/ffmpeg | tee -a wouldbe.log This would show what other packages would need to be portupgraded and avoid reconfiguring up-to-date dependencies. Then I would go to each of those directories in the ports tree and run make config. Running make config-recursive in /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg would produce configuration screens for all dependencies, including those that are up-to-date. I tried portupgrade -RCn multimedia/ffmpeg | tee -a wouldbe.log but then I got all dependency configuration screens, including those that were up-to-date, and also the interface didn't work right: I got garbage when trying to respond; it didn't write to the configuration screen but produced non-color garbage to the background. Running make config-recursive in /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg would configure all dependencies, including those that are up-to-date and therefore not in need of portupgrading, though make config-recursive seems appropriate for a first build/install of a port. But I think there is no perfect way to be sure of doing all make configs in advance, since selectable options could require additional dependencies. If you try to portupgrade perl to 5.12 and everything that depends on it, as advised in UPDATING file, date 20100715, you will likely get a lot of configuration dialog screens: I speak from experience, would surely like a way to do all these make configs at the beginning.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Custom 64bit FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE with XFCE packages released
Dear Antonio, I thing you've messed things up a little bit. The distribution is for XFCE and of cource you have to use xdm instead of gdm. Installing gdm in your system also installs much of GNOME as you can see by running cd /usr/ports/x11/gdm make all-depends-list By looking carefully in this list you will find out that you install many ports of GNOME, like: /usr/ports/misc/gnome-mime-data /usr/ports/textproc/gnome-doc-utils /usr/ports/devel/gconf2 /usr/ports/x11/gnome-desktop /usr/ports/x11/gnome-menus /usr/ports/x11/gnome-panel /usr/ports/devel/gnome-vfs /usr/ports/x11/libgnome /usr/ports/x11/gnome-session /usr/ports/security/gnome-keyring ... (there are many many many more!) There is nothing wrong with the distribution. If you exactly do what the README file says you are goiing to have a valid system running XFCE. If you try to add gdm then you also install much of GNOME also, so you'll not have an XFCE-only system.

The dump/restore should do the trick as long as you have another medium to store the dumps (such as another hard disk). You will store the images of your slices to the new medium using dump(8). You can then use FixIt console to re-partition and re-slice your hard disk and then restore(8) your images in the newly sliced hard disk. Actually, if you have another hard disk device, you can use piped dump/restore to copy the whole system from one disk to the other and make the second one your bootable disk. Of course you must have sliced the second device first. I've done this many times. The first was to remove an openSUSE partition I had, living in the same hard disk as my FreeBSD. The second time was to move my FreeBSD to another hard disk (physical device). The new disk became my boot disk. The third time was to move my system to another bigger hard disk device and at the same time be formated as ZFS. Now my system boots from this third hard disk device, having ZFS and the operating system is the same as that I first installed (of cource updated...)

knutclient-0.9.4 (sysutils/knutclient) - Cannot compile
Hello, Today I set up my system to monitor my UPS using NUT (sysutils/nut). Everything went smoothly. I also noticed that there is a KDE client for NUT, named knutclient, and it lies at sysutils/knutclient, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately it cannot complete the compilation, due to an error ./configure: Can't open ./configure: No such file or directory The full copy/paste of the process is at http://paste.gr/rffb5 Any hints?

Unfortunatelly, spaces are not allowed in fstab syntax. I also have tried it before and figured out that there is no way to insert spaces in a folder or device name.

Can you boot using fixit console, kldload the opensolaris and zfs modules and see if you have everything configured properly (like loader.conf, etc., set the mountpoint of the zfs partition to legacy and zpool set bootfs=zroot zroot)? Remember that the zfs pool is there, so zpool list first and if you can see the pool, import it. Actually I'm not a zfs geek, but these are the first steps I would follow to debug the problem.
