In addition, I had even created a user account in the wheel group. However, for some strange reasons, the user got deleted and the root's password got reseted to blank when the freebsd box got rebooted. After reboot, I again have to manually set the root password and create a user account once again. All is fine and well after that. I have really found FreeBSD-6.2 stable and steady for production use however. You've got something bizarre going on with your setup. I've never seen the behaviour you describe. Are you sure that when you set the password, it actually works? It's difficult for me to even imagine what kind of problem would cause what you describe without the system also being completely unstable as well. Can you give us script captures of the process (sanitized as necessary, don't email out any passwords) so we can see what you're doing any all the messages the system provides? Hi Bill and All, I thank you and all for your concern and support. I think when I was given the post configuration setup during the last phase of the sysinstall, I made the mistake of not saving the result. I will setup on FreeBSD-6.2 tomorrow again. I will monitor the process and keep alert during the post installation setup especially on the section when adding users on the system.

Hi Alberto,
have you loaded radeon.ko ?
Now radeon and drm are compiled in the kernel. But I have the same
problem also if radeon and drm are dynamic modules.
loading the modules would have done the same as building into it, with no build
time :)
sorry, I don't know ... so you still dont get any information about the card in

Using/configuring Wine If I can have a setup with 16 monitors, are there any threads, or websites which could help me to do so? I will be using Quadro Nvidia cards (4). Thanks in advance. 1. SLI support and Crossfire support don't exist in Unix. How can you possibly setup 16 monitors? Even with splitters, it's not possible (unless you use PCI cards). I'm not sure about SLI and Crossfire, but I'm sure that Unix doesn't really need them to support that many monitors. Whether you use one Xorg instance or multiple ones, you can certainly use 16 monitors. The only issue could be nvidia's binary drivers, but I hope they support their Quadro's. Search for words like Xinerama and multiheading 2. Wine has plenty of Howto's all over the net. Linux has better support for wine, but FreeBSD is not far behind. E.g. many people are running 3D games under wine in FreeBSD. Internet Explorer is happily running on PC- BSD, which means it won't have much trouble on FreeBSD. The binary nvidia driver works just fine with Quadro cards, and between Xinerama and the built-in TwinView support (possibly only using one or the other) I'm sure you'd be able to drive all your screens and arrange them how you'd like. Just be prepared to do some research, use the nvidia-xconfig tool a couple times, do some experimenting, and then manually edit your xorg.conf to get the behavior you want. (Possibly repeated a few times). You'll have the best luck with the nvidia driver on 6.2 or 6-STABLE, and it only supports i386 (not amd64). Take a look at this list to be sure you install a version of the driver that supports your card: http://us.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-9746/README/appendix-a.html JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How does one get the INDEX-6.bz2 file for the ports index manually
Hi, Well, the subject line pretty much says it all. I'm working on updating the xorg packages on my installation so that I can install WireShark. I'm to the point in the upgrade that I'm rebuilding the ports index (I installed portupgrade-devel in favor of the current version of portupgrade as mentioned in the UPDATING file). As the instructions say, since I haven't altered the environment in any way, I didn't have to rebuild the index, I could simply do make fetchindex. Well, this simple step isn't working so simply. At home, it did, but here at work I'm having difficulty. The connection is constantly refused. Where does this file reside? I'd like to just download it directly to /usr/ports and have the make system do what must be done. This at least works with other packages that I've had refusals on when installing.

Getting INDEX-6.bz2 solved
Ok, Sorry for not posting a follow-up to my original request for help, but google mail doesn't show messages sent from me until someone responds. As I was thinking about the problem, I noticed that the fetch directive for make fetchindex in /usr/ports was trying to get the file from htt://www.freebsd.org/ports/INDEX-6.bz2. Well, I realized that our IT structure here is for a proxy server for http stuff. After reading through the manual pages for fetch(8) and fetch(3) I did: setenv HTTP_PROXY URL for our proxy and walla, everything worked. So, problem solved.

Re: freebsd on laptop
Hi, On modern laptops, the BIOS allows you to boot from an USB key. So, you could prepare a key on another machine to bootstrap FreeBSD, by putting a proper MBR, partition table and partition (slice in FreeBSD vocabulary). The BIOS makes real-mode programs that use it believe the key is a regular floppy disk. Unless the FreeBSD's boot loader has problem or your BIOS does weird things, this should work. Please note that I've not tested this procedure myself, so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

Fw: KDE 3.5 Crashing(Solved)
Thanks everyone for their help! Final result was my video card. I had a power surge a few weeks ago - and while I have a surge protector it stilled messed my card up a bit. So periodically the card would die and so would the system. Pulled it out and used the onboard and problem solvered. Hello Gemma, Hello Nikola Although it really looks like hardware, you can also do this to be 100% sure it isn't software related: (1) Had you used that computer before you have installed FreeBSD? It would be a nice idea to post here the output of your 'dmesg' or /var/log/messages. Yes it was running XP - will post output once I finalise this car sale and have a spare moment. :) (2) Have you tried to run a small script as Matthias proposed? Not yet - am reading up on how to run a script :) (3) Are you sure your ports are up-to-date? If in doubt, install ports-mgmt/portupgrade and run # portversion -v -L = To cut a long scary story short sort of. I've actually reinstalled 6.2, 4 times as I seem to have so many little things missing I wasn't sure if it was me or the install. So upgrading ports always eneded up crashing. Anyway first few times went the full install, final time went with as just a user install without X. After that i installed X and then KDE from the ports collection. Attempted a 7.2 upgrade thinking that might help a few problems and in a word - nightmare. A week later after finally getting past the libxfct step the actual upgrade crashed as it couldn't seem to create the xorg-libraries 7.2 directory. So I just decided to ignore it for a while. But aside from xorg - everything else is up to date. (4) If yes, as of how to check X without KDE, do the following: (a) run 'xinit' without ~/.xinitrc file to avoid starting KDE and or any other window manager; (once you start it, you can go back by 'exit' or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace; please note that you must put the mouse over the window in order to move focus on it); (b) check if there are warning -- (WW) -- or other suspicious messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log; (c) while in pure xinit session, run Firefox or other application that is not KDE/Qt related; (d) run Opera, Skype or similar app that is Qt- but not KDE-related; (e) run KDE applications (Konqueror, KMail, etc.) and report one by one what happened, from (1) to (4e). Maybe it helps to isolate the problem, besides hardware tests :) Will try the above this arvo when i do the rest.

You can have up-to-date ports tree and installed applications on the latest release of both CURRENT and STABLE branches (that includes the CD you have -- you would just pick up the latest ports tree instead of one shipped on CD).

RE: Upgrading to 6.2-RELEASE from 6.2-STABLE
Well I got the server up and running on the old kernel. I redid the buildworld and buildkernel. I've held off for now on doing installworld and installkernel until I get a better understanding of what caused me to go into mountroot.

using mouse via xterm window
I presently access FBSD via an xterm window from within Windows using X-Win32. I would like to be able to run a window manager or file manager, but this exits with an error because there is no mouse attached to the FBSD box. Here is the thing - I -can- run xv (a FBSD image viewer from the ports) from my xterm window and the windows mouse works fine controlling xv as a gui application. Is it possible to configure the Xserver to acknowledge the windows mouse via the xterm session? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SSL and Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 on FreeBSD 6.0
Hi All, Can anyone tell me whether they have experienced any problems with SSL under Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (20070612) on FreeBSD 6.0? I used portupgrade to download and install the pkg the other day, along with Firefox 2.0.0.4, I might add, and I am now unable to use SSL to connect to my mail server. Fortunately, I can use a normal connection, so it is not a major issue, but all the same... Initially I thought it might be caused by the same problem which stopped the new Firefox from being able to access sites using https. I solved this, after much digging around on the internet, by adding the path: /usr/local/lib/nss to the ldconfig setup in my rc.conf. Unfortunately, Thunderbird remains broken. Has anyone experienced something similar? Alternatively, does anyone know how Thunderbird goes about finding the nss package? Would it be possible that even with ldconfig ok, Thunderbird still can't locate the nss libraries? I actually have another issue, quite possibly connected, which is that since the upgrade I haven't been able to set Thunderbird's master password. It is storing my account passwords fine I should add. I've tried every trick I could find on the internet, including using modutil to recreate the .db files and things, but nothing has worked so far. Any and all help would be appreciated.
