Have fam and dbus installed for rc.conf :



echo dbus=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

echo famd=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

echo rpcbind=YES >> /etc/rc.conf

echo ipv6addrctl_policy=ipv4_prefer >> /etc/rc.conf

echo ipv6addrctl=YES >> /etc/rc.conf



Scripts to copy :

cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/famd /etc/rc.d/

cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/dbus /etc/rc.d/

    Hi

    I'm building MATE from pkgsrc 2021Q2 in a VirtualBox machine
    (amd64) and so far so good. However, I realize that I'm probably
    missing a lot of steps and I'm not having great luck finding out
    what all I need to build, enable or add to rc.conf. Dbus is an
    obvious one, but after that I have no idea.

    Can anyone fill me in on what configuration steps I need to take
    after building and installing meta-pkgs/mate?

    Additionally, I'm not able to find a mixer app or applet to adjust
    the sound volume from the desktop (or even cli) -it looks like
    one's not included? What should I build and install ?

    Thanks!
