Re: (no subject) Gnome
I had the same problem. An arrogant person at the freebsd forum said I had a lack of resolving, but I didn't know what he was talking about. Someone said to edit /etc/rc.conf but that didn't help because it was a read only file. I reinstalled freebsd all over again and that time it worked. You may need to try that. However I haven't yet been able to get it running, and I have the popuplar problem of mouse and keyboard not working with xorg. It's pretty discouraging. So all I can suggest is installing the operating system again.

Later i see that our dns server was down and ping ebay.com wasn't resolved. After dns server was back all works fine. One other problem can be active or passive ftp. Last week i want install mailscanner (FreeBSD 8.0 RC1), but nothing with ftp was download. I look for a solution, but environment for ftp passive was set. So i looked at our firewall and see that active ftp was use instead of passive. I give all ports over 1024 free for it and it works.

An arrogant person at the freebsd forum said I had a lack of resolving, but I didn't know what he was talking about. That's not a good way to promote FreeBSD, but be sure that this list is full of friendly people willing to help you, as long as you are able to - specify your problem as precise as possible - give commands you tried - give error messages that can help identifying the problem. Someone said to edit /etc/rc.conf but that didn't help because it was a read only file. Obviously, you've tried to edit /etc/rc.conf without being root. This file is writable to root only because it contains the system's configuration, so it's quite important and doesn't allow anybody to alter it. I reinstalled freebsd all over again and that time it worked. What did you do differently this time? You may need to try that. However I haven't yet been able to get it running, and I have the popuplar problem of mouse and keyboard not working with xorg. It's pretty discouraging. Yes, I really know that... :-) For Gnome, have a look at the handbook's section: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html You'll find many informations here. And for X, refer to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html where the problems of modern X are discussed. Keep in mind that you have to answer an important qustion first: Do I need HAL and DBUS? This might be the situation when you want to run Gnome with automount features. So all I can suggest is installing the operating system again. Sorry, that's completely stupid. FreeBSD isn't Windows, you do not need to have to install the OS over and over again, just because you encounter trouble installing, running or configuring additional software (which Gnome is); remember that FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution, it maintains its own base operating system, and as far as I see, there's no problem with it on your system. Please, don't make things more complicated than they are, and don't waste your time with such nonsense. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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
