Add Printer wizard grayed out?

2005-02-16 Thread Jason Zimberoff
Howdy all.

I just installed Free BSD 5.3 RELEASE on a PC based machine.  It is connected
to the LAN here at work. (Internet connectivity seems to be fine)

After installing KDE (this is the first time for me) I decided to try to 
install a printer. (KDE version 3.3)

All the docs say that I should try the Add Printer Wizard in the print
manager.  But when I go in there, and click on the add button, a drop down
menu appears.  

The first choice Add Printer/Class is grayed out.
The second line Add Special (Pseudo) Printer is available. (But I dont want
to do that)

Question:  what do I need to fix to get the first choice to not be grayed out?

Thanks!

-Zim

libXft port will not install...

2004-03-30 Thread Jason Zimberoff
Hello all.

Here is the quick problem...

FreeBSD freeBSD.comcast.com 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 16 
22:16:53 GMT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

Everything was working fine. Using gnome, and had installed
opera, xmms, gnometelnet, and grn with no major problems.

Then I tried to install gimp...

It crashes when it gets to the libXft dependency.

Someone mentioned on bsdforums.org that I am missing the Xfree86-devel,
but I am not sure how to fix that, if it is the problem.

Here is the screen output...

2004-03-17 Thread Jason Zimberoff
Hello all.

I'm new to all of this, so please bear with me...

Here is my uname:

FreeBSD freeBSD.comcast.com 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 
16 22:16:53 GMT 2003 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I also seem to be using gnome2 as an xwindows manager.

I am trying to install xmms.  When I run sysinstall, I first have to
change the location to something else because 5.0-RELEASE is not there.
I have been choosing 5.0-CURRENT instead, and that seems to at least get
me into the list of available packages.
When I try in install the xmms-1.2.10 package, one of the dependency
packags fails to install right away. (expat-1.95.6_1)  All it says is
error code 1 - see debug screen for more info...  How do I find the 
debug screen?

What am I doing wrong in general?

Can someone maybe just suggest an easier way to load a program that will
play mp3's on my FreeBSD box?
Thanks!

-Jason Z.

pkg_update missing?

2004-03-14 Thread Jason Zimberoff
Hello all.

I am very new to FreeBSD - so apologies for being a newbie and all...

Here is my uname output:

FreeBSD freeBSD.comcast.com 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 16 22:16:53 
GMT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

I have tons of questions, but I will start with 2:

1. the book I bought FreeBSD unleashed by Urban and Tiemann says that I
should be able to use the command pkg_update to install newer versions
of things that are already installed.  On my machine right now, it just
returns command not found when  try to run pkg_update.

pkg_add is working fine.

2. Is this the best place to ask questions like this?  If there is a good forum
or something else that I should go to - please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

-Jason Z.
