Hi,

you probably have to enable XFT support with  make config in sysutils/conky and
select that option. If this doesn't help to prevent conky from crashing, i
don't know either. I use Conky 1.8.1 on 8.1-RELEASE-p2 with no problems except
with some memory leak after a few days. With conky -v you can see the selected 
options your conky was compiled with.

cheers

Daniel

Hi,

you go in rox  options->compatibility then select the option "Pass all
backdrop mouse click to window manager" and/or you may have to select the
"Black Box Root menu hack", too. 
After that your fluxbox menue should work again.

Hi,

please always check that the recipient is the mailing list and not the one that
answered your question. 

The look of your command prompt depends on what shell you use e.g bash

export PS1='\[\033[32m\][\@][@ \W)$\[\033[0m\]' in your .bashrc would make your
prompt look like 

[01:40 am][@ ~)$

in green color. 

Just use your g00gle foo, and you will sure find a lot of examples for your
kind of shell, to customize your command prompt.

It may be cause your run rox with -S [ --rox-session ] option and the pinboard
is set as your backdrop, you probably have to run rox without the session
command.

I have VirtualBox 3.0.51_OSE rr22900 successfully running on 7.2 ,
after i installed it from Ports i got a Kernel Panic after loading
vboxdrv. So i put all necessary modules in loader.conf and now
everything works really great with a Virtual WinXP installation.
loader.conf 

vboxdrv_load="YES"
vbnetadp_load="YES"
vboxnetflt_load="YES"

Why don`t  you just create some filter rules in your mua ?
It may makes it clear for you if you create a folder for each host
and filter your msg on receiving ?  

e.g.

Inbox
...
CronDir
- Host 1
- Host 2

Hi,

sorry but with that kind of questioning you won`t get any response,
that includes your other posts as well. 
you should all ways try to describe the problem more specified.
you should post your configs (/etc./X11/xorg.conf) and hardware specs
(dmesg) and os release version( uname -a ) ,and the driver version
you have installed, too.

I using a nvidia fx5500 with the latest driver 173.14.22 on i386 and
it works perfect. And it was no pain to get 3d working for games.

You could add to your make.conf.

GCC=gcc34

Hi Alexander,

maybe it is cron when it runs  the daily security checks so it checks
for the disk? Or have a look at your cronjobs

Hi, Alexander,

maybe post the part for the disk in your output of your daily security
checks here, would be much  easier to find out what the trigger may be.

What file/directories are accessed, when it comes to that point? 

IMHO:  i believe it is just because the hdd is "there", so i think when
the cron runs it just checks that the disk is still there.


thx

Hi Chuck,

please tell us what exactly the output of mount is,  mount (8) on
FreeBSD 7.1 tells me that UFS is the default filesystem to mount.

Hi Al,

i am running fluxbox 1.1.1, i receive the same error msgs with every X
app i start, since i did some updating on the installed xorg port with
portupgrade, i don`t know what xorg version is shipped  with the
freebsd 7.1 ports on a fresh installation. First i worried a little bit
about this error msg too but since it does not do any harm on my
installation so i don`t care bout this msgs anymore.

hi mitja,

i believe your hardware is broken, i would try to get a pci usbcard an
disable the onboard controller, or configure a "Generic Kernel" and put
the hardisk in an different Computer from your buddy or your second
machine , and check if the problem still exists.
