HAL is not complicated, it's just useless. :-) No, honestly: You first need to install it from ports or packages, then add hald_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start should then start this service. If may (!) be possible that this isn't sufficient, and you need to install and run DBUS as well. And maybe you need to recompile X and some of your programs. Have you already tried to play (just play) a music CD with the base system's command # cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 This should work basically, without HAL, without X. In such a case, it's often good to start with the easiest implementation just to see if it works. -- 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"

question regarding FTP_PROXY
Hi freebsd folks, I'm having troubles installing some ports because I'm behind a restrictive pf firewall. I've heard that this could be circumvented if I use a ftp_proxy. I have this debian server that can access ftp sites and I installed vsftp on that and checked I can get to that box with ftp. However, if I try this command from my freebsd box: fetch: ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/utilities/screen/screen-4.0.3.tar.gz I get: "Not logged in" My ftp proxy environment variable in .profile is: FTP_PROXY=ftp://ftp:f...@192.168.2.101:21 (also tried with only ftp://192.168.2.101:21 but no luck) export FTP_PROXY Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Dino ___ 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"

Oh, I had a similar problem, too: USB slot only on the back of the PC, hard to reach, and that's why uncomfortable and furthermore unusable. My solution was to get an USB cable USB-A plug to USB-A socket, quite simple, and have the USB socket (now on wire) directly on the desk. If you recognize you often need more than one USB slot, you usually would decide to get an USB hub, also a good tool on top of the desk. One of the most comfortable solutions I've seen (and used) is to have a USB slot (ot two, usually) on the keyboard. A good example for this is the Apple keyboard, and of course the Sun USB type 7 keyboard. This way, you can also attach an USB mouse directly on the table, or have two slots for removable media (e. g. for USB sticks, USB hard disks or USB camera, or webcam, or USB steam engine). Allthough most "modern" PCs have USB slots on their front, it's still inconvenient to put them under the desk, allowing a chair or your feet to kick (and maybe break) the USB stick - I've already seen that happening LIVE. On the other hand... who wants to put ugly designed PC minitowers onto the desk? It's not that they look like an SGI Octane... :-) -- 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"
Re: FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE: property 'jailed' not supported on FreeBSD: permission denied

Simply put, property 'jailed' not supported on FreeBSD. Some features that you may see in a "zfs get all pool" will not work because they are not implemented yet or are not planned to be implemented because they are too *Solaris dependent. See jail(1) for setting up a jail on FreeBSD. -- jhell ___ 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"

I have a desktop computer (Athlon 2400+) running 8.0-RELEASE, I will update it to 8.1-RELEASE and I update the portstree and ports every weeks. I also have a laptop that have some issues to fix, because 8.0-R do not have iwn(4) for my intel 1000 link I use 8.0-STABLE on it and I update world/kernel every two weeks but when 8.1-RELEASE will be released I won't use -STABLE anymore, I guess.
