Error messages when booting up machine and starting KDE

The iso8859 encodings are 256 character maps, the UTF-8 encoding covers the entire million character range of unicode (or iso10646 which amounts to the same thing) how well it displays depends on the font being used. This one has pretty good coverage. -misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* There's a wonderful file around called UTF-9-demo.txt produced by Markus Kuhn which shows off the capability of UTF-8 pretty well, and tests your font support unmercifully (the font above can cope with the whole document, and an up to date urxvt handles the alignment correctly). There is a great deal to be said for adopting unicode by default, and generally in the form of UTF-8. I regard the iso8859 encodings as basically obsolete. Unicode has it's faults, but it is the best general purpose encoding system available. There are also tools for unicode that can handle problems such as correctly sorting text for different languages which is not as easy as you might think. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith ___ 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"

As far as I remember, login.conf is the file to set this, but you can basically set environmental variables wherever you want. For example, I have a system where I set them globally in the C-Shell configuration, so all shells (even non-csh-shells like bash) inherit the settings. Example from /etc/csh.cshrc: setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_MESSAGES en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_COLLATE de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_CTYPEde_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_MONETARY de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_NUMERIC de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_TIME de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LANGde_DE.UTF-8 Note that this creates a "settings conglomerate" from english and german settings which looks stupid, but works (and is therefor intended, or at least accepted as being established). :-) Note the correct language prefix: en_US (as there's also en_GB). > Any nuances on en_US.UTF-8 vs. ISO8859? As soon as you have "non-standard" characters (like german umlauts) encoded in ISO8859-1 (the default for this region) they won't show up properly in UTF-8 (just as UTF-8 encoded umlauts will not show up properly in a ISO8859-1 terminal session). > I've never really ever needed to deal with locales before, but I believe > UTF-8 offers more characters, no? It offers many more, and especially if you're dealing with "inter- national documents", it seems to be the best way to go at the moment. For example, I had to work on a document containing german umlauts and chinese characters, so UTF-8 was the solution to have all of them properly displayed and editable. -- 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"

I'm already starting to experience some problems which I assume are due to incompatibility with some recently upgraded dependencies and I've finally, and somewhat reluctantly, switched to KDE 4.8. It's certainly more bloated than 3.5 but after getting rid of some unwanted eye candy it's not as bad as I expected, certainly better than last time I tried it out about a year ago. The most noticeable deterioration in performance is that it's much slower to start up than 3.5 was and kmail takes much longer to open a mail "folder" than it used to. -- Mike Clarke ___ 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"

I'm not sure. :-) It just makes me sad to see that today's users with their more-than-sufficient hardware can still run into a lack of resources with something so "simple" as a shell window, simply because today's "simple" isn't simple anymore. If I look back in time... my first BSD system was a Pentium with 150 MHz and 64 MB RAM. This machine had been running a desktop, playing MP3 music, downloading stuff via FTP, compiling the OS kernel, burning a CD, and still providing a responsive web browser -- all at the same time. Of course software matters, or to be precise: It _is_ the software that matters. The quotient resources provided by hardware overall speed = resources consumed by software doesn't seem to improve (because both numerator and denominator keep increasing quickly). While every release of FreeBSD tends to run faster on the _same_ hardware, this advantage is eaten by the "big stuff" (like desktop environments, office suites and web browsers for example). Most people seem to think that this is normal. So if someone tells: "I open two shells and this almost crashes the system", it sounds terribly wrong. I know it's not about the actual shells, but the environment they're being used in. That's everything I wanted to express with this statement. -- 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"

Resource requirements are much less than the latest KDE, and Unity is even more unworkable. KDE and Gnome have got very bloated in the last few years, IMHO and less intuitive. They seem to be going backwards. The multiple desktop feature is one of the main things that set Unix-style desktops way ahead of Windows, and now they have become harder to use. ___ 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"

FreeBSD 8.2 with pre-built KDE 3.5 package from FreeBSD 7.1 DVD
Hi everybody, My issue is the following: As far as I know, FreeBSD has completely dropped support for KDE 3.5. Whether it's the ports, or the pkg_add precompiled binaries. Am I right in assuming this? I am currently running a live version of FreeBSD 8.2 with KDE 4.8. The thing here is, that KDE 4 is simply too heavy for my system. For example: it is impossible for me to have two open shells at the same time. Once I exit a given shell, I can't open another one due to a lack of resources, even after having turned off all the extra stuff - plasma desktop, nepomuk... As a consequence, I can see myself do two possible things, to have a system running with KDE 3.5 once again: 1. Go back to an older release of FreeBSD and install KDE 3.5 from the precompiled binaries that are on the DVD donwload version. Judging by the release announcements, this should be 7.1. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html This is something that I don't really feel like doing. 2. To be honest, I am quite happy with 8.2 and I would like to keep it for some time to come. In other words, is there a way to keep 8.2 and still have KDE 3.5 along with it? For example has anyone ever tried to install a 7.1 pre-built package (KDE 3.5 in this case) on an 8.2 system? Is that be possible? Any other solutions?

That being said, this description gives me the idea that this is a KDE problem and not Xorg related, per se. Easiest way to test KDE is to either rename the .kde folder to something like .kde-backup and log out and back in again. You can achieve the same thing by creating another user account as well, and when you log in as that user you will be starting KDE config all over again from scratch. If problem disappears with this there is a botched KDE config somewhere. This also sounds vaguely like something I heard about wrt to some Plasma bug a version or two back in KDE. Don't recall exact details as I never experienced it. One time when I did have some small glitch I found when I renamed or deleted the ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc file and restarted KDE, starting over fixed my problem. YMMV Could also try Googling something concerning 'disappearing Plasma panels' and see if there are any hits on this as a Plasma related bug. -Mike ___ 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"

I've never had much luck with the KDE system config monitor tool. But one thing to notice - if only 3 resolutions such as 640,800, & 1024 are listed it may be an indicator you have only these VESA modes available. This is most likely due to not having the mfr's binary blob drivers installed, rather than using the open source variants. The open source versions (Nouveau for Nvidia) lag behind the mfr blob in terms of performance and feature support. KDE really demands having the best drivers runnning. Performance issues can be examined in a couple of areas. You can disable the Desktop Effects as well as change the rendering backend from OpenGL to XRender. XRender might be more suitable for older, really low end video cards while OpenGL is more horsepower intensive. I've used radeonhd driver before a couple of years ago, and nowadays use a Nvidia GTS 450. What I don't have experience with is the Intel graphics. However, the essential thing of getting off of VESA and into hardware accelerated via drivers might be something to look at. -Mike ___ 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"
KDE trouble, perhaps related to display wizard usage
Hi :) the KDE 4 desktop does cause issues, since I set up the panel and then booted with display wizard enabled, on PC-BSD 8.2 64-bit. The last panel I add often isn't visible and accessible, but the first panel did work before I restarted with display wizard enabled. I add several panels, that are invisible and not accessible. Resetting graphics and monitor settings using display wizard doesn't solve the issue. Opened window apps aren't shown on the desktop. Any ideas what's broken that I can't access, resp. seldom can access the panel and that the application's windows aren't accessible (only shown in the panel, assumed there is a panel, but not shown on the desktop)? FWIW changing the X settings doesn't please me, I'll test a xorg.conf that I used with Linux and for sure I'll switch to another DE, on Linux I e.g. prefer Xfce4, but I guess first I should set up the default install to my needs.

Webmin can be secured and audited very well, but still the more services that are available, the greater the security risks will be. Only from the commandline you have all options for configuration of different services available and it's the fastest way to do things. For graphical oriented users I think that Webmin is a real good solution and gives a way to get into the use of the commandline and configuration files.

I would suggest that, too. Allow me to point out a new perspective of the way of use: GUI forces you to work in a linear way and pay extra attention. You cannot automate it. Depending on what your primary intention is, using CLI tools to get rid of "hands on" work may be a better choice. This approach of course assumes that you actually KNOW what you're doing, but that's a main requirement for any administrator. :-) > Webmin is a good GUI progam (from client perspective) for administering > your servers, it just runs in your clients webbrowser and you can administer > almost every aspect of your servers with it. That's true, but it brings new security risks to the system. Also keep in mind that using a web browser limits your accessibility to what the browser can do (and the Webmin can support), e. g. you may be faster using a shell with patterns and autocompletition than manually selecting things from a list. -- 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"

Do you plan to update FreeBSD and installed ports on your servers on a regular basis? Then I would not recommend installing graphical window ports (applications) on these servers, because it can give you a lot of time, work e.g. unnecessary hassle when upgrading/updating.

Re: any friendly folk willing to teach an old foggie how to configure kde/ gnome on freebsd?
A GUI on a server is just a matter of preference, I go back to before Dos 1.0 and when Windows came out, I fell in love. Now I've got to have a GUI on everything, besides as you get older the command line becomes harder (memory loss)...

Hi Why would you want a window manager on your servers? Do you all work directly on the consoles? Do you have window managers/desktop environments on the workstations and access your servers remotely? It's not very hard, I would say it's easier, to configure your servers and services from the commandline with ssh. Or if you really want something graphical then webmin would be fine also. This is what I tend to roll-out for other (graphical oriented) administrators and with some custom commands configured this works great for them.

I had a friend who had a problem with Akonadi also, although it was
failing with MySQL and dbus. For whatever reason, he ran
"mysql_upgrade", rebooted the system and the problem went away. Perhaps
it was just a coincidence. In any event, he does not have a
"polkitd_enable" statement in the rc.conf file, nor a "local_startup"
one either.

What is this Akonadi problem all about? How may I fix this thing?

KDE forgets about display resolution in 8.1-release
Hello, every time I boot, there's a display resolution of 1600x1200. I can change it via Start/KDE => Settings => System Settings => Display => Size & Orientation, after login out and in again, it's still the same, but after rebooting it's lost. I don't want to put a fixed resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, so is there a way to make KDE remember my settings? where do I have to start searching?

No. Install processes usually do not do anything inside a user's
home directory.
Depending on using xdm (will work with KDE) or kdm (KDE's own
graphical login manager), or simply "startx" (without any display
manager), you will have to create ~/.xinitrc and (or) ~/.xsession.
Those are shell scripts executed at X startup.
As I am not a KDE user, I can only guess about what command
actually starts KDE; I think it is "startkde". So your ~/.xsession
file could look like this:
exec startkde
A shebang line may be included, but is not required. If you're
using the C shell (FreeBSD's standard dialog shell) and want to
obtain its settings (you may have customized them), OR when you're
using X by "startx" without a display manager, you may consider
using the two-stage approach, which is:
~/.xsession
#!/bin/csh
source ~/.cshrc
exec ~/.xinitrc
If a display manager is present, it will inherit the C shell's settings
and then "switch over to" xinitrc mechanism.
~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# Your customized commands here, e. g.
[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
xrandr --fb 1400x1050
xrandr --size 1400x1050
xsetroot -solid rgb:3b/4c/7a
xterm -fg black -bg beige -title Terminal &
xset b 100 1000 15 &
xset r rate 250 30 &
xset s off &
xset -dpms &
# And finally your window manager or desktop environment:
exec startkde
# I have "exec wmaker" here :-)
With this setup, you can use
a) xdm
b) kdm
c) any other dm
d) no dm (startx only, even per auto-login)

The "startkde" command should be fully sufficient, as all other things
are to be configured inside KDE.

KDE
Dear colleagues, Actually I was trying to promote KDE/FreeBSD to my ISP (novice) users instead of Windows XP or so, for a virus free journey. But failed to install straight way from /usr/ports/x11/kde4 Its now gcc problem. waiting for gcc problem to be cleared. By hand can be solved (possibly) but this needs to be done automagically, due to ppl who does not understand much should be able to install right away. I dunno, if the developer team knows about it or not. Is there anyone has actually successfully installed directly from stable 8.1 /usr/ports/x11/kde4 ? -Jahan 10 ___ 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: simplest way to get gnome/ kde up and running
Have you actually installed KDE and/or Gnome? I don't see that step included in what you say you have done. If you have not you will of course need to do that before you can configure either of them. For Gnome you will probably want the x11/gnome2 port/package while for KDE you will probably want either x11/kde3 or x11/kde4 (depending on if you want KDE 3.x or KDE 4.x) I install Gnome via the DVD package. I believe it's gnome-desktop-... (sorry, need to be back home to get the actual package name). I tried to find gnome2 in the dvd package list (not the ports), but it's not listed there.

simplest way to get gnome/ kde up and running
Hi guys, I've been trying without luck to get KDE/ Gnome configured. I've been reading and re-reading (and trying and re-trying) to get the window manager running, but it's been driving me nuts. - How far I've gotten: 1. Installing Xorg from the DVD package is easy. I've added the hald_enable and dbus_enable to /etc/rc.conf 2. Xorg -configure looks like it's working too: i get the skeleton outlined window manager that I believe is fwm 3. Xorg -configure xorg.conf.new -retro works too - Where I'm stuck: 1. So far ~/.xinitrc is missing. But I followed the Handbank anyway and did this: echo "/usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc 2. Running startx crashes now because it complains /usr/local/bin/gnome-session is missing - that's true. Am I missing something? Or is there an easier way that Linux distros have been very successful at?

Fwd: Help with KDE Policykit system-settings
Apologies for the cross-post. All help is appreciated. I just installed Freebsd 8.1 amd64 with the kde 4.45 package. I am trying to get the PolicyKit to work with hal using the kde policyKit 'manager'. I have tried both running as root or using su. In both cases, when I pull up the (KDE) PolicyKit screen, it does not allow me to change anything. The modify settings is greyed out in the default area section, even if I change something and if I try and grant a user privilages, the "Grant" button stays disabled after I choose a user. Any idea how I can get this to work? Is there some system setting I have forgotten? Thanks in advance.

For reference the solution i have found is to modify some hald config
file this way:
cat /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi
evdev
evdev
kbd
evdev
pc105
fr
The modification is to add the two lines with pc105 and fr at the end
which provide a fall back for non Linux systems.
Then X starts with a french keyboard and kdm sees it. By the way to
start kdm automatically, the solution is in the FreeBSD KDE4 wiki, it is
simply to add the following to /etc/rc.conf
local_startup="${local_startup} /usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d"
kdm4_enable="YES"
Hope this may help some poor fellow who has not followed the recent
modifications to xorg configuration closely, modifications which can be
summarized as: "Why do it simple when one can do it complex?".

Re: Is KDE 4.4.5 on FreeBSD 8.1 this bad?
Unga complained: > behaviour of KDE is surprisingly poor I have installed a fresh FreeBSD-8.1 and a fresh kde4 from the 8.1 cdrom, and i see none of your problems. For me KDE4 works perfectly OK, i am even surprised. Of course making X to run was an exercise in pain, i had to enable HAL and DBUS otherwise keyboard and mouse were not recognized, the data in the xorg.conf were not obeyed, etc. but this was to be expected. The only problem i have now is that i have seen no way to configure the kdm greeter so that the french keyboard is recognized as french, which is inconvenient to type the passwd. But as soon as kde itself starts, everything is OK. An other problem i have seen, diablo-jdk doesn't work for me, i have been obliged to recompile jdk-1.6 starting from an openjdk-1.6 bootstrap. Strangely firefox3 doesn't see the plugin, but seamonkey sees it fine and konqueror also works fine with java. Firefox3 also chokes on Google maps while seamonkey and konqueror work ok. There are obviously javascript problems. Finally i have installed flash10 with the pluginwrapper, and it works wonderfully fine in seamonkey and firefox3, including sound, fullscreen images, etc. But konqueror doesn't work with Flash, for an unknown reason. Hence seamonkey is the only browser which allows me to look at google maps with street view. To summarize, i am extremely happy with the performance of the machine under FreeBSD-8.1, and things which were big problems, like Flash, are now well controlled. Firefox3 is very crappy, only usable for most basic browsing. Seamonkey works perfectly fine for everything i have tried. Konqueror has regressions from KDE 3, but in general KDE4 is nicer than KDE3. Of course icons on the dektop work to launch programs. -- Michel TALON ___ 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"

None of the desktop icons works to launch programs. Eg. Click or double click on Firefox icon does not launch Firefox. I have to right click on the desktop and click on "Run Command" and type firefox to run. 2. Once type firefox on the "Run Command" it doesn't appear until I shake the mouse!
