frozen bubble sound issue
I know it seems trivial, but it's driving me crazy none the less. The game was fine yesterday, but I could not even launch Frozen Bubble today. I did a 'make deinstall' and then reinstalled the port. Now it starts, but I'm getting the following error: Ready. Warning, could not create new music from `/usr/local/share/frozen-bubble/snd/introzik.xm' (reason: Unrecognized music format).

I have gpgme installed (as it's needed by a number of my installed ports) but I'm trying to install a sylpheed-claws-gtk2 tarball with gpg-mime support and it doesn't work with the newer gpgme 1.0.x versions. I have both /usr/local/bin/gpgme-config /usr/local/bin/gpgme03-config and I think I'm getting errors when installing because they're both in identical paths and it's trying to build against the newer version. It builds fine if I disable pgp-mime support. For example, the --help file says: ~/src/sylpheed-claws$ ./configure --help | grep gpg --with-gpgme-prefix=PFX prefix where GPGME is installed (optional) So I've been trying to build with: --with-gpgme-prefix=/usr/local Any ideas how I might work around this?

Multibooting with 2 drives
I have 2 IDE drives laid out as follows: 1 (master) - 80GB with FreeBSD occupying entire drive 2 (slave) - 80GB with 4 linux distros hdb1- Fedora Core 3 / hdb2 - Fedora Core 3 /home hdb3 - swap hdb4 - ***EXTENDED PARTITION*** hdb5 - SUSE 9.2 / hdb6 - SUSE 9.2 /home hdb7 - Mandrake 10.2 / hdb8 - Mandrake 10.2 /home hdb9 - Arch 0.7 / hdb10 - Arch 0.7 /home When I installed the Linux distros I chose not to install a boot loader for any of them (thinking that a bootmanager like GAG would handle this). In retrospect, this may have been a conceptual error as GAG would error with "Boot sector not found or corrupt" for these partitions. On the advice of someone on the Fedora User's list, I booted the Fedora CD in rescue mode and: # chroot /mnt/sysimage # /sbin/grub-install /dev/hdb1 When I rebooted with GAG and set it to boot Fedora using hdb1, it now gives me a 'grub>' prompt. How can I recover this and get Fedora to boot beyond this? I'm hoping luck with this will enable me to do the same for the other Linux distros. If there are any other suggestions on this, I'm certainly open to them as well.

So as a general rule, it appears I would just cvsup my ports as usual
and then use 'portmanager -u' rather than 'portupgrade -arR'. No more
need for portsdb -u and pkgdb -F then?

KDE issues after recent portupgrade
>From the /usr/ports/UPDATING entry: 20040313: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 I did the mentioned portupgrade above and a *lot* of packages were reinstalled, among those KDE. I'm not sure in retrospect that I needed to do this as I only installed FreeBSD on this box a couple of months ago. Anyway, since the upgrade Konqueror crashes when started in a directory (core dumps) as a file browser, KDE notifications no longer work (although sound from Gnome apps *do* work -> I have gnome-session-daemon start when I log into KDE) and k3b won't start any longer for starters.

Problems with digital camera
Hoping that someone can see what I may be overlooking. I've got a Nikon CoolPix 885 that I'm attempting to connect to my FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE machine via it's USB connector to a D-Link 7-port USB hub. The hub itself is connected via one of two USB ports on the tower. I have the following in /boot/loader.conf: salamander# cat /boot/loader.conf snd_emu10k1_load="YES" usb_load="YES" # USB support ums_load="YES" # USB mouse umass_load="YES" # USB Zip 100 drive Or Camera and the following in my /etc/rc.conf: salamander# cat /etc/rc.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Mon Dec 6 13:36:23 2004 # Created: Mon Dec 6 13:36:23 2004 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf. hostname="salamander.thesizemores.net" ifconfig_vr0="DHCP" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-bd" sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" devfs_system_ruleset="local_ruleset" and this in a /etc/devfs.rules file that I created per another post I saw on the forum: [local_ruleset=10] add path 'ugen*' mode 664 The following lines appear in my /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC file (this is out-of-the-box, I have not recompiled the kernel since initial install): # USB support device uhci# UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci# OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) #device udbp# USB Double Bulk Pipe devices device ugen# Generic device uhid# "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd# Keyboard device ulpt# Printer device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device ums # Mouse device urio# Diamond Rio 500 MP3 player device uscanner# Scanners # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device ch # SCSI media changers device da # Direct Access (disks) device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device cd # CD device pass# Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) device ses # SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE) However, when I connect my camera via the USB connector and turn it on, I get no messages in dmesg and usbdevs shows salamander# usbdevs addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA What have I missed?

Using gdm at boot
I've got FreeBSD 5.3 setup on my desktop and wanted to use gdm to login. Per instructions I found at marcuscom.com: Do _NOT_ use /etc/ttys to start gdm at boot time. This will result in gdm hanging or restarting constantly. Instead, copy the included gdm.sh.sample script to gdm.sh, and restart. This script is found in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d. Silly question, but I'm not sure I understand where to copy this file to. Same directory (/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d)? Does doing this alone enable gdm without any changes to /etc.ttys? I have only a text login now, no xdm/kdm/gdm at all, but want to have gdm enabled with sessions available for gnome, kde, icewm, and xfce4.

Confused about sound servers
I run KDE, Gnome, and occasionally IceWM (although I haven't yet installed this on my FreeBSD machine). Coming from a linux background, I'm a little confused about sound servers. I have a SoundBlaster Live Value PCI card on my machine running 5.2-CURRENT. I have compiled my kernel with 'device PCM' and in my /boot/loader.conf I have put snd_pcm_load="YES" snd_emu10k1_load="YES" What sound server(s) is/are recommended to install. I know that Gnome typically uses ess, and KDE can use arts. Should both of these be installed to have sound in these environments? How about others such as Xfce and IceWM? I want to enable system sounds as well as sound for XMMS and other programs. The card is recognized and showing up in dmesg. I've read in another post that I don't need to run # sh MAKEDEV snd0 in the /dev directory with FreeBSD 5.X series, is this true. Right now I have no sound.

I have seen similar posts but users were able to still get to the kdm login screen consistently after seeing these messages with responses like "Well, just ignore the messages..."

I'm attempting to install gaim-0.73 on my 5.2 RC-1 system. However, it's got some older dependency requirements such as: desk# pkg_add -r gaim Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/Latest/gaim.tbz... Done. Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/All/libao-0.8.4_1.tbz... Done. Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/All/gtkspell2-2.0.4.tbz...

What is the easiest way to install gaim (or any program for that matter) when a situation such as this arises? What would have happened if I attemted the install via ports instead?

What's the purpose of the 2nd CD?
I burned the 2 iso images for 5.2 RC1, but during the install (even when choosing to install everything), I'm never prompted for the CD. What is it used for?
