hmm not sure since many of the programs hook into iwconfig instead of
ifconfig. for wireless since they work mainly on Linux only from the
programs that I am thinking of.

pretty much you need to update the ports to even install freenx/nxserver, I
tried updating the freenx one but got a bit lost with the new freenx
tarballs that the developer provides. And I know these two ports are the
most wanted, for some people

well freenx now provides nxserver I tried updating the ports but the freenx
tarball isn't very clear like it used to be since, since the files have
changed so much from what the old version used to be like. you could try
freenx and see if it will work or not. Since I m pretty sure the port is
old.

Most likely your email server is being used to send spam to the question
mailing list. I had one email bounced back to me lucky gmail uses SPF and it
seems that the freebsd server is setup to bounce back bad SPF emails.

but maybe someone that is on your email server actually sending mails to
this mailing list prehaps hard to say but I would say. set up better
security for your email server for one if you have hundreds of emails just
sitting in your spool going to this mailing list.

well Sysinstall goes by the version that you have installed so if you update
your machine to patchlevel 5 sysinstall will change the OS to the -p5

no ports doesn't go to a certain release, once a FreeBSD version is no
longer support you can bet that some ports will not work correctly on that
version. for example the ports you have now is the same as on 7.x

yes this should have gone to the advocacy mailing list really, and from what
I got from what Wojciech said is that he thinks that FreeBSD will come with
a gui installed by default.

 I don't think that's what most of us are thinking when we are thinking of
new users.
We are thinking of users that actually know or want to control their
complete system.

Kind of hard to get XFS in freeBSD with it being a "dead" filesystem that is
no longer being developed, probably to port it it would need a lot of code
changes.

ok it seems fc7 might be missing a dependency so I upgraded to fc8 for ff3
and now I have sound, since there have been reports that linux_base_f4 does

Re: flash9 checklist

[matt donovan]

Since I had linux_base-fc4 installed npviewer.bin kept hogging all CPU power
until I killed it for native firefox3. Well I installed linux_base-fc7 and
now flash9 and npviewer.bin works fine in native firefox3.

ok I tried this for the ones that have firefox3 native installed.

install linux_base-fc7 and npviewer.bin should stop hogging all the cpu
along with firefox3 freezing up until npviewer.bin is killed.

I do not use extensions in my firefox3 so the flashblock issue before was
not an issue for me.

update.freebsd.org should work
 Considering that update1.freebsd.org is a mirror for update.freebsd.org. it
works fine here for update.freebsd.org ever since I updated to 7.x from

the issue seems to be with native firefox3 if you guys use it  since I have
native firefox3 and linux-firefox whihc is 2.0.0.17 and the linux-firefox
seems to work fine but the native firefox3 the npviewer.bin just hogs memory

go to the openssl port and run make replace and it should replace base but I

You need to add hw.acpi.thermal.polling=1800 to /etc/sysctl.conf and you'll

 They exist the port probably has not been upgraded yet. Since I remember
the port being broken for a while. But people have sent in a PR about it but
the port works fine here have you tried to update your port system first?

6-Stable spams console trying to read a sensor that doesn't exist

[matt donovan]

as soon as I boot up my 6-Stable kernel I get bunch of errors stating TZ
temperture is absurb -256 since the machine in question doesn't have sensors
in it do I disable acpi or another feature in the kernel to get rid of this
spam since it sort of locks my machine up after a while.

As someone else said it's been in base for a while and the ndiswrapper you downloaded only works with the linux kernel since the one in base had to be modified to work ont he freebsd kernel, 


oh yeah it's not called project evil for nothing :) it might panic your kernel 
and it might not. Just so you know before it happens

Re: x11 drivers - conflicts

[matt donovan]

You have to do make config in xorg-drivers again to reconfigure the port

I was having an xauth error about the hexkey not found this is my fix for it

[matt donovan]

I just had to redo this part

# set up default Xauth info for this machine
case `uname` in
Linux*)
 if [ -z "`hostname --version 2>&1 | grep GNU`" ]; then
  hostname=`hostname -f`
 else
  hostname=`hostname`
 fi
 ;;
*)
 hostname=`hostname`
 ;;
esac

authdisplay=${display:-:0}
mcookie=`dd if=/dev/random bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e
\\"%08x\\"`
if x"$mcookie" = x; then
echo "Couldn't create cookie"
exit 1
fi

To this

# set up default Xauth info for this machine

 authdisplay=${display:-:0}
 mcookie=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e
\\"%08x\\"`
 for displayname in $authdisplay `hostname`$authdisplay; do
 if ! xauth list "$displayname" | grep "$displayname " >/dev/null
2>&1; then
   xauth add $displayname . $mcookie
   removelist="$displayname $removelist"
 fi
 done

xinit $client $clientargs -- $server $display $serverargs

and it seems to work for me doesn't complain about the magic cookie not
being found anymore

it's on the freebsd site but the code freeze has begun so some are guessing
around October or so

Re: flash

[matt donovan]

yeah it seems that you need to use linux-firefox and the linux-flash9 port
to do it since I haven't been able to get the linux-plugins to work with the
native browser even with the linux compat enabled

www/youtube-dl works fine for getting movies from youtube.
You can use mplayer to play them.
