I was just reading up on 802.11 meshes. Looks like the linux guys are starting to play with it. What about us? I note this cute little OLPC device I've got seems to support the draft standard. I thought it'd be interesting to start sticking it on my bsd boxes when I can (since I've got quite a

I just got a clean portupgrade -a, so I hope my problem is not a version issue, because I don't have any newer versions to install. I get the following when I try to run meld: Thanks, Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/home/steve]$ meld Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/meld",

"undefined symbol" error from .so file after portupgrade

2008-08-18 Thread Steve Franks
I just finished a successful of portupgrade -a, so everything's supposed to be the latest & greatest, right? Why would I be experiencing "dll hell" then? These are not obscure ports... I get the following when I import gtk in python: ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.

32-bit fbsd binaries on amd64 (we can already run 32bit linux/fc4 stuff, so this should work, right?)

2008-08-28 Thread Steve Franks
I've been reading the wine64 wiki. I've also seen some of myself & other's questions in this general direction (not wine specifically, but anything 64 vs 32) go by. Near as I can tell, the big hangup is having 32-bit libs (i.e for X) hanging around on your system. Now, I'm sure, as usual, I'm be

x11/xfce ssh-agent once per logon for minimal (no gnome/kde) installation

I'm totally lost. What I desire is to put in my passphrase for my public key(s) when I logon to my box. Since I usually install from ports and use xfce, I have no infrastructure for this, and I'm getting nowhere fast. My Fedora box popped up a nice little "enter passphrase" box the very first ti

since when did alt-shift-tab quit working?

I thought it was the kludged state of my desktop, but the 8-release server I just brought up fresh yesterday is doing it too: alt-tab works, alt-shift-tab does not. For those of us who are not into gnome/kde/cutesy menus & panels, this is a major PITA. No doubt it came in from linux-land with the

I just did a 'new huge disk' procedure (aka dump 0aLf - | restore - for each label). I have a script for automating it, and it usually seems to work, but not today! Silent failures/corruptions do not make me comfortable, especially coming from my backup tools (yes, no errors seen in log). System
