Pidgin and Vagalume (DBUS problem?)
Hi Vagalume (audio/vagalume) has an option to display the currently playing track in Pidgin's status message. It doesn't work though, so I was hoping someone in here could help me. I don't know if it's the same issue or not, but purple-remote can't seem to communicate with Pidgin either: %purple-remote setstatus?status=awaymessage=test No existing libpurple instance detected.

Switching wireless networks: WPA - unencrypted
I usually use two WPA encrypted wireless networks and I have wpa_supplicant.conf set up for that. In rc.conf I have ifconfig_ath0=WPA DHCP. It's working fine, but once in a while I have to use other, unencrypted networks and that presents a problem. How do I connect to these with the least amount of trouble? Right now it involves commenting out the line in rc.conf, restarting netif, manually configuring ifconfig and running dhclient. Surely there must be a better way to do this...? Preferably it should automatically fall back to using unencrypted networks, if no configured encrypted networks are available... or something like that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Disk access is slowing my Eee PC
Hi, I've successfully installed FreeBSD 7-STABLE on my Eee PC 900. Just one problem. Quite regularly the machine becomes unresponsive. I asume because of something reading from or writing from the SSD, because it always happens when the disk activity indicator is lit and it stops immediately when it's turned off again. Sometimes it lasts as long as 20-30 seconds, just when using Firefox, OOo or similar. Any ideas on how to deal with this? And just as interresting; what's the cause? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Saving output of an application
I don't know how to explain this, but I remember that there is some way of saving everything that's going on in the terminal, I just don't remember the command for doing so. I think it's something along the lines of (e.g.): # something file.name (this would start logging) # portupgrade -a (or anything else) # someting something (this would stop logging and close the file) file.name would then contain all of the output of portupgrade. Can someone help me with the right command? :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
