Portmanager does not mess with the registration files and can

portmanager runs it gives you good feedback on what it is doing and
why, and if you disagree or just question something it is perfectly
safe to ctrl-C out
of it. When start again and it will just pick up from when you
left off.
So as a general rule, it appears I would just cvsup my ports as usual
and then use 'portmanager -u' rather than 'portupgrade -arR'. No
more need for portsdb -u and pkgdb -F then?
Correct.

KDE issues after recent portupgrade

This could cause some breakage. After installing kdelibs3, kdebase3 and QT, you might be able to install the metaport from there to get the rest, but I personally avoid it until after installing everything, as it's always given me problems. - jt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

VERY slow browsing KDE
I have just installed FreeBSD 5.3, and I am using KDE. Everything is great. Except browsing. I tried Mozilla, Firefox, and of course, Konqueror, and they take anywhere from 45 seconds, to 10 minutes to start loading a page. No, it's not hard ware, and it's not connection. I have a DSL connection, and this is a dual boot box. There is also another computer on this network (it's an XP Home box, so it's slow anyway). The dual boot box has windows 98 on it and browsing is so fast it's crazy. The only trouble I have is using a browser in BSD. links works pretty good, but I think it should be a little faster, as it's actually slower than Internet Explorer. It is also dropping connections (ftp, ssh, shoutcast streams) every 10 to 45 minutes. At least twice an hour. I don't have that problem in Windows...I have been listening to a shoutcast stream now for over 140 minutes (I am in windows right now). I also get Unknown Host www.foo.com in all of the browsers (in FreeBSD) ocasionally. Is there something wrong with my box? Could it be a NIC driver thing? Could it be a setup/config thing? My network is configured from Internet IN: DSL modem (speedstream 5100, router(D-Link DI-614+), then the two PC's.

My problem is that I am totally unable to print from within KDE, using any of the available systems listed in the KPRINT menu.

KDE, FreeBSD fish
I've used Konqueror many times before to connect from abroad to my machine at home using fish://. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. I've had several reinstallations on my laptop over the last few months for a few various reasons, and I've noticed that on some installations it 'just works' and on some it doesn't. I'm connecting from KDE 3.3 on FreeBSD 5.3 to a FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine. All I get in my output in the status bar is 'Connecting...' before it eventually times out. Yup, I can SSH in normally from this location. Fish just doesn't work. So is this feature dodgy as far as anyone knows? It's a real pain in the arse when it doesn't work, because fish is extraordinarily handy for copying files using a GUI without having to implement something like FTP. So how irritating when it doesn't work :-) PS: I've never been so sure as to where to post queries like this -- freebsd-questions or one of the KDE mailing lists, or both. But I guess it can't hurt to post to either.

It is just a way of building a whole bunch of kde components by claiming the pseudoport depends on them. It will skip the parts that have already been built and begin again with fam. It is pointless to uninstall kde. You can try to build fam on its own and then return to kde3 and make. In that case fam will be skipped too along with the other components that have already been built.

IThe problem appears with generic and self-compiled kernels. Help! Thank you. This a very annoying KDE problem, I get around it by just using ye old xterm for accessing all removable media. The problem is a device can't be unmounted when it's in use. It can be in use because a file or program is open on the media, or even if a program is sitting in that directory like the konqueror file manager. Usually closing the file manager window will fix that, but sometimes I have to use lsof to find which process is sitting in the cdrom directory and kill it. Most cdrom's are also locked by unix when there mounted so it can be a big problem. Mandrake gets around this problem by using a kernel mod called supermount which prevents devices from being locked even though they are mounted. On linux there is also an option to force a drive to be unlocked, but it really shouldn't be used except by things like knoppix just as the system halts. If anyone has a fix for this I might go back to using KDE again, instead of fvwm2+xterm which has always worked pretty well. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] !DSPAM:417c111f182511642842525! -- I sense much NT in you.

Firefox and amule GUI problems in KDE 3.3? GTK?
I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1. I installed it about a week ago, and installed X.org 6.7.0 with KDE 3.3 from the most recent cvs versions at the time. The same was done for GTK (2.4.9), Firefox (0.9.3), aMule (1.2.8), and Gaim (0.82.1). Firefox and aMule both seem to have major problems with GUI interaction, while Gaim does not, so I'm not sure if it's a GTK problems specifically. Firefox will sometimes hang slightly, not allowing my to type into textboxes, such as the URL box, or in forms. It usually hangs for about 1-2 seconds, then allows interaction again. Often I can type, but text doesn't show up for 1-2 seconds as well. aMule performs similarly, though a bit more extreme. Restoring the window from minimization causes it to appear blank for 3-5 seconds, then appear. Sometimes at this point I can interact with the window immediately, though typically I then experience a delay in clicking buttons, moving sliding, resizing listviews, etc. The delay will be in effect for any given amount of time, then it will suddenly work fine again. At this point I have no clue how to fix this problem. I have yet to experience it in any other applications, though previous to installing FreeBSD this most recent time, I had installed it about 2 weeks prior (I had to reinstall due to some problems I encountered), and experienced the same problem. I would appreciate help that anybody would have to offer. Thanks, Travis Troyer _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

How to unmount devices mounted from konqueror file manager and kde
By changing the permissions on the cd and fd, enabling vfs.usermount and creating local mount directories, users can now easily mount and access cd's and fd's directly from there kde konqueror file manager. The question is how can they be unmounted? I haven't quite figured that one out yet and it causes more problems than not being able to mount.

I hear the tune as KDE starts up, but then there is no sound after that. Multimedia applications still work properly under XFce, it's just KDE. I suspect that you may be seeing the same issue that I do when I start KDE. Next time you start KDE (after freshly rebooting the system or proceeding from a setup where you know sound works properly), open a console login somewhere and run the mixer command. Note its output: what are the values for the various devices? I've seen that, after starting KDE 3.3, all of my mixer devices are set to 0 -- thus muted. They're not broken; you just need to manually reset them. The two important ones (at least with the sound cards that I've used on FreeBSD) are mixer and pcm, though cd may be important if you have your CD-ROM drive hooked up to your sound card, but I don't know for sure as I've never used that configuration. On my machine, with my Creative SBLive! PCI sound card (as supported by snd_emu10k1), here are the default, working settings: Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogainis currently set to 75:75 Mixer line1is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phoutis currently set to 0:0 Mixer videois currently set to 75:75 Note that, as the manual for mixer states, not all devices may be present in your configuration, and you may have more devices than I list here. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If not why? That's the thing when corresponding with developers: they may well ask you to test out patches they've literally just written. Seeing as you seem to have had a good result from that, I'd expect the patch (or something equivalent) to make it's way into the system eventually. You didn't say if you were corresponding with a KDE developer or a FreeBSD kernel developer -- as the file that was replaced is part of the FreeBSD system, a KDE person would have to pass it over to the FreeBSD side for review. Even so, the patch would generally be committed to 6-CURRENT first, for testing, and then merged into 5-STABLE and maybe 4-STABLE after some time. At the moment however 5-STABLE is in a source code freeze prior to the release of 5.3-RELEASE, so anything added there has to pass through the even more rigourous examination of the release engineering team. On the other hand, it could be a well-known fix that enables that software to build on an older version of the system: you don't say which system version you're running, but if it's older than 4.10-RELEASE or it it's one of the 5.x preview releases (5.2.1-RELEASE or earlier) -- then that patch wouldn't be applied to those versions[1]. In which case, you'ld either have to always apply the patch manually whenever you did a buildworld, or you'ld have to upgrade to a newer version of the system where it would be incorporated. Or the KDE folks might possibly incorporate a work-around into the kde3 port to enable it to build cleanly on earlier system versions. I hope I posted this OK - I am new to the mailing list thing. Seems fine to me. Cheers, Matthew [1] The project guarrantees that the -RELEASE branches will maintain a stable API/ABI and that only security patches will be applied.

I can make a few guesses: You upgraded KDE via packages Running ''portupgrade -PPRa'' I guess. I had been having problems caused by the compiler changes and read in this list, or -questions, an answer to a question about the same problem where the advice was to u/g all your ports via packages (or uninstall them all and rebuild from ports). portupgrade(1) skipped XFree86. - that KDE has been built against xorg (which is the default X distribution for 5.3 and contains libXinerama.so.1, while XFree86-4.3 only contains a libXinerama.a). Are you saying the KDE packages are built against xorg? I guess that explains all the dependencies on xorg that I kept having to delete using ''pkgdb -F''. Is that the real reason KDE won't run? Would switching to xorg be the best solution in the long run then (now is the time for me to do it if it is)? I guess that would mean rebuilding all my X apps that weren't installed from packages.

Sound in 5.2.1-RELEASE w/ KDE 3.3.3
Hey all, I've been a FreeBSD user for servers for a very long time (starting with 2.1-RELEASE) and recently decided to give it a whirl for my work laptop workstation. For the most part, everything is great. However, after installing KDE 3.3.3 out of the ports collection (from source, as 5.2.1 ships with 3.1.4 and I wanted the newer version), sound seems to behave oddly. Upon reboot, sound works from the console and also when KDE first starts up, although my Starting KDE system event sound is clearly cut short. Beyond that, no sound works either from X or from the console. I've looked at the process list as well as at loaded kernel modules, but can't seem to figure out what the cause might be. For reference, the kernel I am using is straight out of /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC, but with the pcm driver added for sound (I have a Crystal Audio sound card, so have loaded no additional PCI/ISA drivers). Let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help track this down, or if someone has encountered this and knows a quick fix. When replying, please include my email directly as well as the list as I only get the digest and would like to keep the response separate if possible. Thanks a bunch in advance! ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Sound in 5.2.1-RELEASE w/ KDE 3.3.3
also when KDE first starts up, although my Starting KDE system event sound is clearly cut short. Beyond that, no sound works either from X or from the console. Just for fun, turn *OFF* the KDE sound effects. Perhaps, just maybe, whatever sound effect is getting played has some kind of odd spike in the audio that is seg-faulting something somewhere... It probably won't help, but it might let you get sound to last long enough to run an application with error messages where you can find them :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: KDE make package failure
Hello Peter; There is a procedure I follow in a situation like this, I don't remember where I got it from (I think from the KDE web site somewhere), 1) make install qt first 2) make install arts next 3) make install kdelibs 3rd 4) make install kde3 (the meta port) 5) make install whatever is missing that you want Substitute make package for make install, or do it after install. arts depends on qt in order to build. kdelibs depends on qt and arts in order to build. Building a packages increases the time required to get kde installed, but having those packages can save time later. Don Donald J.

How can I update my kde 3.1 to kde 3.2.3 using cvsup? You probably want to upgrade to KDE 3.3, as this is the latest version. First get the latest ports directory by using cvsup on your ports-supfile. If you don't have one, look at the example in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile. Then read the 20040830 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Normally when you upgrade ports you would just use the helpful portupgrade program (in sysutils/portupgrade), but this particular upgrade is an exception, and there are some additional steps. Follow the directions in UPDATING and you should be fine. -David -- +++ Divide By Cucumber Error.

It depends how much more than the base system sysinstall added, for example since you don't mention building Xfree86, I assume sysinstall would have added it from packages on the CD. Also cvsup itself has gui dependencies and they would also have been installed before cvsup was run.

Re: cannot install KDE3 or KDE-LITE from ports
I downloaded ports.tar.gz August 26, 2004 and am currently building KDE3. I did not run into an error with that particular file, however the graphics/ImageMagick Makefile and distinfo file defined 6.0.5.3 as the version it wanted to download. There is no such version at ImageMagick.org and the KDE3 build would fail at that point. I downloaded 6.0.6.2 and edited the Makefile and distinfo files appropriately, and am now continuing with the KDE3 build. By the way, building KDE from source is an excrutiatingly long process (more than 5 hours so far) with numerous menus requiring human response to continue, and of course the occasional error as described above. Unless you really need to compile from source (I didn't, I just wanted to try it) use the binary.

Re: cannot install KDE3 or KDE-LITE from ports
Yeh you do because KDE is NOT just kde, its a bunch of other libraries included, which wont compile a a dependency as the libraries required are already present in the system. Only the catch is the libraries are old. SO yo need a portupgrade. As you say that its a freshly installed system, I would say go for a cvsup and a rebuild of the main tree because of two reasons. Firstly the stock tree and kernel has loads of compatibility features which can be eleminated for good. You can also put optimization flags ( man make.conf, the CFLAGS section) which would largely affect the install. Regards S.

kde openldap version problem
Restating an earlier problem with more detail. KDE on the 4.10 install CD uses openldap 2.1.30 I have struck version conflicts installing Samba3, which wants openldap 2.2.14. Netbeans had the same problem when i tried a few days ago. In the ports collection KDE uses 2.2.14. Can I just remove the current KDE and replace it from the ports collection ? or is there likely to be a package somewhere that uses openldap instead of 2.1.30 ? Also, is there somewhere that deals with version conflicts - the google search items I found were a bit advanced for me.
