Re: How to enable network manager in KDE?

I had a look at ports/net-mgmt/wifimgr
I am quite new in FreeBsd but in my case it does not work , ie :

I start a xfce4 session for a (non-root) user
open the wifimgr from  the 'network' menu
provide root password as requested

but then it hangs forever on my laptop

Did anyone successfully used wifimgr ? If yes, what could I check to
make it work ?

PS : I am using FreeBsd 8.0 on an (old) Thinkpad laptop with ipw-2100
wireless card



Regards

Eric

Re: How to make VirtualBox have higher (full screen) resolution?

2009-12-21 Thread Eric Le Goff
My understanding from a previous post in this list (Around december
18th) was that VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run was specifically tied to the
Linux kernel
This also what I experimented.

gnat gpl 2009

2009-06-01 Thread Eric Le Goff
I noticed that AdaCore has delivered 2009 Edition
[http://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/gnat-gpl-edition/] of its GNAT
GPL toolset.

Will the port lang/gnat reflect this update ?

Should I stick to gnat gpl 2006 which is the latest I found in my ports tree ?
or go for any of the lang/gnat-gcc* ports ?

The x86-linux version is downloadable from :

[http://libre2.adacore.com/dynamic/view/gnat-gpl-2009-43-i686-gnu-linux-libc2.3-bin.tar.gz?version=2009&config=x86-linux&filename=gnat-gpl-2009-43-i686-gnu-linux-libc2.3-bin.tar.gz]

But I would need a step by step instruction from for how to set it up
in my FreeBSD 7.2 (i386) box

Thanks for your help
