Re: FreeBSD 5.3 X-Windows Config During Installation

It appears that the installation options do not include: Configure XFree86 Server and Configure XFree86 Desktop.

That is correct Xorg is the new default X window system in 5.3 I am fluent in several varies of Unix (Solaris, HPUX, Red Hat, SCO), but am new to FreeBSD. When installing FreeBSD 5.0, I was given the 2 above options, and was able to set a Gnome Desktop. Numerous attempts to install FreeBSD 5.3, I was never given the above options, and although I was eventually able to get a brain-dead Gnome desktop to appear, I couldn't do anything with it. QUESTIONS: 1) Why doesn't the FreeBSD 5.3 install give configuration options for the X-Windows server and desktop? This I don't know the answer to but I'm assumiing it's because Xorg is the new X window system 2) If the answer to #1 is that the Xorg implementation doesn't contain these, then please help me find the easiest way to setup the Gnome desktop following a new fresh installation. Easiest way to set up X is to type at the command prompt when logged in as root: xorgconfig That will start a wizard which will ask questions about your hardware. Be sure to have these answers before you start such as what type of video card...hsync and vert refresh of your monitor. Once the wizard is done it will write a config file to use with X Make sure gnome is installed through sysinstall or through the ports After the configuration is done go into your home directory and edit (or create if it does not exist) .xinitrc and type in for gnome (though I'm unsure so you might want to look this up). gnome-session.

Not sure of the best order to install everything, but to ensure that you get the support in php that you need, i would recommend installing the port /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions.

Outputting command to a text file
I want to use the du command to check on the sizes of files in a directory, but i want the output to be put into a text file so I can look at it later. I did some search on google, and found nothing that applied. Searched other places (lists and things) and couldn't find what i was looking for, perhaps i was using the wrong search terms. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so, the dependency (devel/glib12) should be automatically built and installed as part of the build process for gdk-pixbuf. It's possible that the Makefile for gdk-pixbuf is lacking the necessary dependency, though, in which case you could simply build and install glib12 first, and then return to the build of gdk-pixbuf.

Transferring system to a new hard drive
My original install of FreeBSD is on a 30 gig hard drive, I want to move it to an 80 gig I now have, but i don't want to have to reinstall everything since I've spent hours waiting for some ports to install. So after googling and searching I found a few ideas of how to migrate to a new hard drive but none which I really trust, (ghosting, acronis(sp?)) If I do move it over will I have ot make new slices to take advantage of the bigger hard drive? If this is the case will I lose what data is already in the slice or can it adjust without any hitches or loss of data? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Using extra patches with the ports collection and qmail-mysql - Found Solution
For anyone else wondering here is how the problem was solved. put the patch (name doesn't matter it just does them in alphabetical order into the /work/qmail-1.03 directory. Did a make patch, which resulted in an error but after editing the Makefile the compile worked fine.

Using extra patches with the ports collection and qmail-mysql
Here's the story... I'm trying to compile qmail-mysql with a new patch that I have found. We've got a test mail server set up explicitly for trying this. Did some googling and asked a question on here earlier about how exactly you get a patch to compile with the ports collection. The answer was to put into the files folder of the port you are trying to install. Well qmail-mysql did not have the particular directory but after looking into the qmail directory I found such a folder. (This is after doing a make fetch WITH_BIG_CONCURRENCY=yes and make extract in the qmail-mysql port). We put our patch into the /usr/ports/mail/qmail/files directory and then did a make install. Once that was finished and finishing the other tasks of getting qmail to work we find that the patch didn't compile. It didn't do what we thought it would do. So my question is this...what did we do wrong? Should the patch have been somewhere else? This is the patch we were trying to use: http://www3.sympatico.ca/humungusfungus/code/validrcptto.html Version of FreeBSD is 5.2.1.

I'm beginning to tired of running kmix every time I start up just to raise the volume. That is one of the configuration options. You're refering to the Restore volumes on login clickbox? I tried that, and it didn't work. That's why I'm getting annoyed. Maybe I should just pkg_delete both firefox and KDE and start over then. Yes, that is the option. I have had irritating things happen and finally deleted the .kde directory in my home spot. You have to prepare because you lose all of your bookmarks and etc. and you want to back them up. It usually turned out to be something else such as power options but you never know.

Compiling with patches using the ports collectio
I'm looking at adding some patches to our qmail installation. But am having troubles finding out exactly how i make the port compile using the patch I'm wanting to use. The port I'm using is qmail-mysql 1.03 we have a patch that we use to compile with it, that replaces the qmail-103.patch file. We also use qmailqueue patch. The patch we are trying to put into effect checks a text file to see if an address is valid before accepting the smtp connection. So how exactly do I make the new patch compile? Do I have to edit the Makefile? or just put it somewhere and it works?

Re: Compiling with patches using the ports collectio
See that was how I understood how it worked, but looking in the qmail-mysql directory on previous servers we've used, there isn't a files/patch directory. But what I did find is that in the regular qmail directory that does exist. So does the qmail-mysql port actually compile qmail and it's in THAT directory that I put it?

Re: Compiling with patches using the ports collectio
One more question(hopefully) Has anyone had any experience with compiling the following patch with the qmail-mysql port? the patch is called validrcptto and the website is: http://www3.sympatico.ca/humungusfungus/code/validrcptto.html. There is another patch we have looked at called badrcptto which the site is http://patch.be/qmail/badrcptto.html. Basically I'm just curious if anyone has had any experience with them and how those experiences went.
