Nein, es ist oftmals noch aktueller (more current). :-) Explaination: The portsnap provides a snapshot of the ports tree. It's _not_ updated as fast as what you can get via differentials using csup (which can change a file within half an hour). When many file changes are scheduled, portsnap is faster, and it's especially useful to download a complete ports tree. For being bleeding-edge current, csup is the better method, especially if you update your ports tree regularly. Wenn du eine Flatrate hast, kannst du vielleicht auch mal dein ganzes System auf 9.0 aktualisieren (freebsd-update ist für die Standardinstallation ohne Kompilierung ganz gut). Ich habe bisher davon abgesehen, 7.n zu verlassen, weil ich aus dem Augenwinkel gesehen habe, dass bei Versionen 7.n die Einstellungen fuer die seriellen Schnittstellen veraendert werden muessen, und da hatte ich keine Lust zu. Dass die funktionieren, ist fuer mich aber absolut unabdingbar, ich habe naemlich ein echtes Terminal daran haengen You should note that 7.4 is a legacy release which is rather old, but I can understand the urge _not_ to fiddle with things that just work (and especially if it's something _that_ special like a _real_ serial terminal). Einige Probleme treten auf, wenn die Libarys auf dem System zu alt sind, aber in den Ports aktuelle benötigt werden. Vielleicht ist das bei windowmaker tatsaechlich so. Ich habe noch mal alles 'runtergeschmissen, ein make clean in ?usr/ports gemacht, alle distfiles 'rausgeschmissen und /usr/local/* komplett geloescht. Und auf einmal konnte ich Ports installieren, die zuvor alle Fehler erbracht haben - ImageMagick, dia, gimp, /lang/lua (fuer nmap). Ist manchmal echt das beste. Hier zeigt sich mal wieder, daß die Trennung von OS und Programmen sehr sinnvoll sein kann! Ich habe es ohne 'sophisticated tools', nur mit cd /usr/ports/*/$ANWENDUNG, make config und make install clean gemacht, es hat lange gedauert, aber war erfolgreich. See man 7 ports, the target make config-recursive to get rid of build interruptions due to forced interactivity. Nur der windowmaker weigert sich nach wie vor zu kompilieren. Da ich aller 'rausgeschmissen habe, weiss ich auch nicht mehr, ob ich zuvor eine aeltere Version installiert hatte. Im Zweifelsfall installier Dir mal portdowngrade und zieh eine ältere Version von WindowMaker, vielleicht compiliert die ja? Ich halte es in solchen Fällen oft für sinnvoll, nach der Komplettreinigung und dem mtree-Lauf mit _dem_ Port zu beginnen, den man eigentlich haben will. Alle Dependencies, die der braucht, sollten automatisch gezogen werden, so hat man eine minimale (kontrollierte) Umgebung, in der möglichst wenig Stolpersteine liegen sollten. Ich bedanke mich jedenfalls bei Dir und 'Polýtropon' fuer die Hilfe, sie hat mir wirklich geholfen, wenn ich auch immer noch keinen windowmaker wieder habe. On my voluminous voyage through window manager and desktop environemnts, I've always come back to WindowMaker. As I said, installing it on v8 hasn't been a problem, but when I did use it on v7 (with the sources being current at _that_ time) it also worked. Maybe the current sources are really too new, and a portdowngrade could work? At least the port is not maked _not_ to build on v7, so it basically _should_ work.

Have you checked the presence of the /tmp/dbus-dyUjnhLBwE socket? sure, it's not there. I understand dbus is a required part of a modern browser, it is no longer an option, right? What?! I don't think that this is an acceptable opinion. :-) Both browsers you mentioned are part of KDE or Gnome. THOSE heavily rely on DBUS, that's right, and due to the transition of dependencies, _their_ web browsers also do. For example, I'm not running DBUS here, but I run modern web browsers. I just don't run _those_ two. :-) So did you properly build your KDE and Gnome components with DBUS enabled, and all of their configurable dependencies also with DBUS enabled? It _may_ be that the use of DBUS is not among the default building options for one of the nested dependencies, and that one might be _the one_ that now shoots your foot. :-) Your ps listing indicates that you are running DBUS, so that shouldn't be the problem. Missing DBUS support in one of the required components _could_ be. ok, this makes is clearer. My dbus comes from www/firefox36: TZAV pwd /usr/ports/www/firefox36 TZAV make showconfig === The following configuration options are available for firefox-3.6.28,1: DBUS=on Enable D-BUS support SMB=off Enable smb:// URI support using gnomevfs DEBUG=off Build a debugging image LOGGING=off Enable additional log messages OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=off Enable some additional optimizations === Use 'make config' to modify these settings TZAV and firefox36 works fine. I build from ports. Neither rekonq nor epiphany have dbus options. My reading of the rekonq Makefile is that it uses devel/dbus-qt4.

Problems with portaudit after update to 0.6.0
Hi folks, I'm facing problems after updating the portaudit to 0.6.0. This is happening on 2 server I own, both with FreeBSD 6.2.

I see you have installed everything into one / partition which technically is no problem and should work, but it's not on the boot partition. You're right, but I made a mistake while writing, my a partition is / and b is swap. Okay. And then I let the installer complete the step, because FreeBSD didn't let you (since 9.0) choose between the boot manager nothing was installed and the boot directly goes to Windows 7. You need to install all the required stages for booting. If I understand the process correctly, the slice 's3' needs code to branch to the boot partition (which is supposed to be the 'a' partition), and the boot selector needs to be accessed from the beginning of the disk - you said you're using EasyBCD for this which is okay. I followed the part 13.3.2 from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html I think this should be enough, isn't it? it says bsdlabel -B will replace the boot1 and boot2 stage so all of them are installed. Looks correct. Now the question is how to branch the a partition as the boot partition ? No need. As soon as the branching from ada0-start - ada0s3 has been processed, the 'a' partition ada0s3a will be accessed as it is the boot partition. It will then continue stage 1 and 2 and finally access the loader, which will load the kernel. In 13.3.2 it is explained as follows: They [Stage One, /boot/boot1, and Stage Two, /boot/boot2] are located outside file systems, in the first track of the boot slice, starting with the first sector. This is where boot0, or any other boot manager, expects to find a program to run which will continue the boot process. The number of sectors used is easily determined from the size of /boot/boot. In your case, the boot slice (for FreeBSD) is ada0s3 where the boot manager EasyBCD will branch to. Getting just a cursor (as you described) makes it hard to identify where the process hangs. If EasyBCD is the last thing you see, I assume the FreeBSD boot process isn't even initiated. Every part of it (MBR boot manager, boot0, boot1, boot2 and loader) would issue some kind of text when accessed. I couldn't say exactly how to do this now (been a long time), but you should be able to boot using the Windows loader (this may have changed in recent editions. Don't think so though). This will give you a choice between Windows or FreeBSD and defaults, timers, etc during boot. Used to be able to do it under system properties I believe; run a google search should provide some examples.
