Be sure to read UPDATING with respect to xfce4-utils etc. It would be interesting to hear from someone who knows what's going on as this is the first major hiccup that I've had using freebsd.

xfce4, Thunar, and removable drives
With xfce4, USB memory sticks or hard drives cause an auto-mount (via hal)... and then multiple copies of the same device appear on the desktop. For example, a Sandisk 8G USB stick with one UFS slice filling the whole device, volume label sandisk8g. With Thunar set to Mount removable drives when hot-plugged, Mount removable media when inserted, and Browse removable media when inserted, connecting the stick causes two Thunar windows to open. Both point to /media/sandisk8g. Removing the stick cleanly is also a little difficult. Right-click, unmount... and then quickly remove it, or it will be remounted by the system and up come the two windows again. Is this something due to hal seeing new volumes appear under the device name (da0s1) and the volume label? I have not been successful in getting hal to stop looking at certain /dev directories. ___ 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: XFCE4 Errors on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE
Warren, Got XFCE4 installed after a get amount of tweaking. It turns out Portsnap did not update all the appropriate files so installed portupgrade and did a portupgrade glib. Glib was not the current version needed for usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4. After the portupgrade make install clean worked like a champ. My /etc/hosts file was also missing the current domain so needed to update that. Was getting a fbdev error so downloaded http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev and that fixed that error.

Furthermore, .xinitrc serves as a kind of init process, so that the exec statement is needed to replace the .xinitrc process by the window manager. See that .xsession serves a similar process and needs a certain form so that programs that use it (e. g. xdm) do the right thing. My .xsession does look like this: #!/bin/csh source ~/.cshrc exec ~/.xinitrc It is needed so that xterms running csh inherit the settings from my .cshrc, and then .xsession continues running as .xinitrc, which finally runs as the window manager (here: WindowMaker, last line exec wmaker). But as I said, it may be handled completely differently today. -- 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

That's always been my understanding, but if you examine the startx script, you'll see otherwise. From xinit(1): If no specific client program is given on the command line, xinit will look for a file in the user's home directory called .xinitrc to run as a shell script to start up client programs ... ^ The interpretation being that .xinitrc can be an ordinary file, but should be written to follow certain syntax rules (not unlike /etc/rc.conf). An example to illustrate: $ echo 'var=Hello World; echo $var' filename $ sh filename Hello World Put simply, .xinitrc does not need a shebang line, and does not need to be executable.

Xfce4 on 8.0 RC2
Hi! Is anyone running this combination? I am having trouble with two points 1. When i close a ssh connection in a terminal, the prompt does not come back. I have to close the tab. Without X the connections are ok and i had Debian lenny earlier on the laptop also with Xfce4. There was everything ok. 2.

SLIM and XFCE4
Hi all, I want to use SLIM (Graphical login manager for X11) with XFCE4.

Hide Terminal window (using xfce4. and 7.2-RELEASE)?
Whenever I run the particular Linux MATLAB installation I have access to, it must be run from the command-line. Consequently, I have the MATLAB gui and an open terminal window (which only gets in the way). Is there a way to hide this terminal window completely? If I close it, MATLAB closes. I know I can move it to another Workspace, but I'm hoping there's another way. I don't mind that the Terminal window opens whenever I run MATLAB, I would just like to be able to hide it each time. NOTE: When I say hide, I mean simply make it not show up on the screen. I do not mean hide the process or anything of that nature.

I know I can move it to another Workspace, but I'm hoping there's another way. This is a function the window manager (i. e. XFCE 4) will have to do. Maybe you can do a trick to not have a terminal window. How about running the MATLAB program from a kind of Start: dialog. I know it existed in XFCE 3. Create an icon for it, and as the command line, enter the MATLAB starting command. Or does MATLAB explicitlely require to run from out of a terminal session? I don't mind that the Terminal window opens whenever I run MATLAB, I would just like to be able to hide it each time. Check for some kind of minimize after start option in XFCE 4. -- Polytropon From 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

Because it is already doing it simple. Personally, I find myself often putting in a CD and NOT wanting to do something with it right now. Then any kind of forced interaction would be annoying. FreeBSD keeps it right in my opinion: Keep to the OS what is the OS's stuff, and leave everything optional to modular parts, such als HAL or DBUS. What should, in your opinion, happen? Mounting the disc to a predefined directory? Which one? What if it isn't a ISO-9660 disc, but a UFS or tar or plain disc? What if the disc is empty, should a CD recording applicaion be launched? Which one should it be? If two discs are put into two different drives (a situation common if you want to copy a disc 1:1), what should happen then? What if the order of puttin in the two discs is vice versa? If it is a rewritable disc, mount it rw? What if it gets popped out right after that (because it was the wrong disc), what should the OS do? When there's something executable on the disc, should it be executed right now? Maybe with root privileges, just to be sure? If there's more than one executable, should all of the executables be launched? If there are documents on it, should they be automatically opened? By which programs? If there's an installer for some program on the disc, should the application be installed automatically? Should the content of the disc be indexed right away, because this could be needed sometimes in the future? If you can answer these and many following questions, you are on your way on making FreeBSD being just like everything else that just works - like Windows. :-) FreeBSD is acting determinable: It does exactly what you tell it to do, by commands or by preconfiguration. This is a big strength, you always can predict what will happen. Have you ever thought about using PC-BSD? It is very convenient for 99% of the users you described, and still a FreeBSD system. -- Polytropon From 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

XFCE4 and screen resolution
I just installed XFCE4 on a fresh FreeBSD-7.2 installation. It works fine except that I cannot get the screen resolution to stay set after I exit the program. The default is: 1792x1144 @ 60 I set it to: 1024x768 @ 85 Everything works fine until I shutdown the program. When I restart it, it reverts to the default setting. I have 'save session' set to on. I tried a trick I found while Googling to place 'xrandr - 1024x768 -r 85' in the '.xinitrc' file; however, that did not work either. Obviously I am doing something wrong here.

It's a different problem now, an xorg crash. If you've got time, it
might be easiest to delete all your ports (pkg_delete), update your
ports tree, and start again.
If you're convinced your xorg install is good, you could selectively
force-delete all the xfce ports ('pkg_info | grep xfce' along with
Terminal, Thunar, some other stuff). The make rmconfig-recursive in
xfce4 and start again.
Otherwise, it's hard to tell where the problem lies, but you may need to
rebuild xorg and then build xfce.
I am not
attaching the complete logfile (27 kb), since I am not sure the forum rules
permit this. If anyone is interested, please send me a separate mail.
The X crash is not such a severe problem for me as I was just trying out
