Memory segmentation Error

2002-11-28 Thread Aaron J Siegel
Hello

My computer had just experence two power outages in a row the second occuring 
in the middle of the first reboot. Since then my version of Xcircuit keeps 
crashing with a segmentation error.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled 
Xcircuit with debug option the problem still presists, (it also crashes with 
the Beta version I have installed) I am not sure what to do from here. I have 
the output of the core dump.

I am going to try to reinstall the XFree86-libraries and Servers while I am 
eating turkey. Any Ideas?  (And of course something like this only occurs 
near a deadline.)

Happy Thanksgiving

Thank You
Aaron

Re: X Remotely on a Win2k Box

2002-11-12 Thread Aaron J Siegel
Hello
I do not believe you can run kde remotely, you can run kde applications,
from the ssh shell
$ xhost (remote system) (this is not secure xauth is more secure)
$ kmail -display system:0&
will display kmail on your system. 

If you want the entire kde environment you will want to use VNC this is 
available in the port collection (net/vnc) and at the following link for the 
windows client.

Re: bout my FreeBSD

2002-11-08 Thread Aaron J Siegel

I can answer your second question
2. yes you can upgrade one line, you can use the sysinstall (I have never done 
this) or cvsup the src and compile it yourself.
 file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/cutting-edge.html
 file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/cvsup.html
I have never had trouble upgrading using the source when I followed these 
instructions.

FreeBSD Handbook (2nd Edition)   ISBN: 1571763031
FreeBSD Mall recommends FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for Your 
Personal Computer Second Edition ISBN: 0971204519 for newbies

I have FreeBSD Unleashed,  in my opinion this book is better for newbies than 
the handbook.  ISBN: 0672322064

Another book for beginners is Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD  
ISBN: 1886411743 this is the newest of all the books.

Re: Window/File Manager

For file managers xterm with your favorite shell and midnight commander 
(misc/mc). Simple fast, powerful and never have to take your hands off the 
keyboard.

xcircuit runtime problem

2002-10-30 Thread Aaron J Siegel
Hello
I am having problems with the port cad/xcircuit run properly. I have installed 
using the ports collection, it all package dependencies are up to date. The 
program compiles fine. But when I run the program I can not access the pull 
down the menus. The last time I cvsup the ports was after the last time the 
port was updated. 

I would usually try to debug this on my own but I do not have the time.  Any 
hints? 

I am running Stable (4.6) python  2.2 

Thank You 
Aaron
