   Try changing the BIOS for the CardBus slot to Controlled by OS or

The a35-s1593 does not have a BIOS option for modifying cardbus
settings.  The only changes allowed (besides enable/disable for
peripherals) are with the parallel port interupt and io.  I'm
currently on BIOS version 1.40.

Would manually configuring the interupt via the kernel help,
or would it not be worth it?  Are there other possibilities, or
should I consider the cardbus unsupported?

Re: kde: kio accessing files in /etc

2006-05-08 Thread D. E. Evans
giving you the benefit of the doubt.  Now that you know what kio is
for, does it start to make sense why it would access files in /etc
that pertain to file sharing?

   It is interesting to see the leaps in your logic. I do not run samba. It
   actually got installed by my mistake and I deleted as much of it as I
   could because I consider it a big security vulnerability. 

This begs the question how you installed Samba by mistake if you
needed to delete as much of it as you could.  Am I assuming to
much in asking whether you used ports to install samba?  What is
it that you had to delete if you had used pkg_delete?  Am I assuming
to much by thinking that actually got installed means that you
installed samba?  The fact that you admit you installed it, while
denying that you run samba, begs a leap in logic to blame others
for their leap in logic, when you are the one who mentioned samba (via
/etc).  For blaming us for using leaps in logic, you're not leaving
us much to work with, though it is interesting now that you
mention it, considering you are having problems with KDE
regarding it.  Hmmm...you hadn't mentioned this before.



Re: kde: kio accessing files in /etc

2006-05-08 Thread D. E. Evans
   You just don't get it, do you?  It doesn't matter if you're running  
   Samba or not.  Kio will attempt to access those files which it is  

Correct me if I'm being ignorant, but I don't remember seeing this
message from 3.8 or 3.9 KDE binaries that I have used (from the
CDs).  Is it possible that a Samba install could change the
configuration of KDE when compiled from ports?  Or is it merely
that I'm not installing one of the KDE components (from ports) that
would look for samba in the first place?

Dave mentioned in the past that he had intended to keep his KDE
system up to date, since ports wasn't always on top of the
current version.  Could using a personal port of an updated KDE
influence its configuration if samba was installed, or perhaps be
configured to look for samba inadvertently?

I guess I wouldn't be asking these questions if enough
information was being provided by Dave regarding his question.



Re: kde: kio accessing files in /etc

2006-05-07 Thread D. E. Evans
   Which window manager(s) do you recommend? I'll try it(them).

See URL:http://www.xwinman.org.

Keep in mind the applications you will be running, and whether they
need ICCCM or NetWM (EWMH) hints, or other dependencies for
certain functions the ports system may not automatically provide.



Re: kde: kio accessing files in /etc

2006-05-07 Thread D. E. Evans
   The question is, if I am not doing anything with those files,
   then why is kio accessing them?

Why are you repeating your question when you've already been
answered?

It would be more beneficial for you and us to send patches, after
consulting with the ports mailing list, that better adapt KDE to
OpenBSD.  After all, you've been using KDE on OpenBSD, according
to you, for about 3-4 years, which is now closing on 4-5.

Reading through your posts in those last 4 years tells me that
you aren't paying attention to the FAQs.  My first posts to this
list got me skewered.  It appears that you have gone through this
as well on more than just the OpenBSD mailing lists, but you aren't
learning from it.  From the responses to my original posts, I
realized that the problem was my own ignorance.  After spending
some time reading the FAQs, and Michael Lucas's Absolute OpenBSD,
I realized how ignorant I had been in those early posts.  I expect
to be rudely skewered again if I post something stupid.  Some of
us have to learn the hard way.

Re: Mail option

2006-04-30 Thread D. E. Evans
   Maybe my reply didn't make it:  use ports' mail/nail package.

It did.  

Nail is one option, but seems a bit much for the want of a single
option, when the program that ships with OpenBSD will already do.
It will be easier (and perhaps a learning experience) to submit a
patch to the current Mail, or decide that a signature is something
non-standard (or not-yet-standard), and therefore not worth the
bother.



Re: Why advocate Old daemon book?

2006-04-29 Thread D. E. Evans
   The state of the art of computer science has gone (steadily?) downhill
   for the last 30 (maybe 40) years.
   The computers are bigger and faster, but the knowedge of what to do with
   them has decayed.

That time would it put it at about 1974, when the altair came out,
and home users got to build their own computer for home use.  Except
I seem to remember that most software shipped in cartridges.  The
problem was when software was sold to the end user *and* technical
support was offered to baby them along.

   There are a few pockets of resistance to the decay.

A rebellion of a few programmers who refuse to baby their users,
while at the same time enabling those users to learn the system.
Imagine that...

Hard love works.

Re: Mail option

2006-04-24 Thread D. E. Evans
   I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but in the
   past I've added the --  to my .signature. Technically that's
   not a correct thing to do, but in practice it worked fine for
   me.

Since I use tin for news, and Mail for mail, this would cause a
conflict, since tin automatically adds the --  and then
appended .signature.

   As for the deafening silence / technical merit question: I think it's
   just a matter of priorities. It's not a problem that is stopping anyone
   from getting work done.

Just an inconvenience that seems easily resolved.  If I get some
time, I'll look into how to add it myself.



startx

2006-04-23 Thread D. E. Evans
Perhaps this should be sent to x.org, but since OpenBSD maintains its
own X, I must ask: why is startx using .serverauth.$$ for its xauth,
instead of $XAUTHORITY?  This seems redundant, and a pain in the
ass for those of us who find xdm boring, finding xdm redundant.

Re: OpenBSD 3.9 stable from cvs

2006-04-14 Thread D. E. Evans
   So you say that the patch should go into OPENBSD_3_9 branch after 3.9
   is *officially* released? Well, I wonder how people who pre-orded
   their CDs, got them, installed 3.9-RELEASE and run Sendmail are going
   to patch their systems?

I got 3.8 almost 2 weeks early, and seem to remember applying -stable
that day, (though I don't believe there were needful security patches
at the time).  What I would have found unusual is to not have
security patches applied to the tree.  Just because upgrading via
CVS will most likely hose your system, doesn't mean that once
upgraded properly it shouldn't be available.  CDs went out almost
a month early this time around, which would have made for an
awkward situation, even with the manual patches available.



Mail option

2006-04-14 Thread D. E. Evans
Maybe I'm the only one around who still uses it, but there's one
option in mailx from SysV that I miss with OpenBSD: ~a.  It would
be simpler to have either ~a to add the --  with newline, and
read in my .signature, or a .mailrc option that automates the 
additions, (preferably both).  As it is now, I must manually add
the --  and newline, then ~r my .signature.

Any takers?

Re: lesstif

2005-07-22 Thread D. E. Evans
I finally got xpdf to compile without openmotif, (see the unanswered
request from 17 June 2005).  One nice feature of the ports is that
if lesstif is already installed, it won't install openmotif.  With
xpdf, If I set USE_MOTIF to no, and then compile xpdf *after* having
installed lesstif this will work, (I thought I tried this before, but
it seems to work now).

There's no FLAVOR for using lesstif instead of motif.  Should
there be, or is there a better way that I should be going about
this, for which I've overlooked?
