Is it simply that KDE4 development is delaying development of kaffeine, or did the kaffeine guy give up? The kaffeine guy seems to be a bit busy, there is not much traffic on the kaffeine mailinglist. But it is not abandonware. I've submitted several bugs to KDE and I see them on kaffeine.sourceforge.net, but with someoe else's name (which I elieve means the kaffeine guy is still active, just overwhelmed). There are bugs there that go back to 2005 as unconfirmed. All the bugs marked as FreeBSD came from me. Did you also submit a patches? If there are patches i can probably test and commit them. regards arved___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: KDE on FreeBSD
I'd love to help, if someone could help me find a JOB. In the US, virtualy no one runs FreeBSD, so I am unable to find a job, even with 34 years experience. ___ Virtually, right? Maybe they do run FreeBSD on a virtual machine? There are no stats to back this up either way so we will be at a loss here :( I have been avoiding MicroSux WinBlows jobs. I would rather leave the profession than support that garbage. If you can have a computer shop/area for fixing computers fixing those MS machines would be the way to make money. I have a friend who is a computer technician and he is very happy with the garbage that you mention. He says that because there are many careless users and the garbage allows other garbage(virii, spyware, malware, etc) to come in; he has a job and a way to provide for his family. He can take his kids to mcdonalds and get them a happy meal take out his family to watch a movie. I tell him the same thing like you mention, but he says that fixing those machines that are out there is something that he has to do to at least make ends meet and no, it is not support from MS, it is a job to clean/wipe those machines to make them workable again :) support from M$ would be more money and I remember folks that get burned at the stake for getting a job from those guys :( Regards, Antonio ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hello,
I have installed X.org and KDE on my FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (directly
from the packages collection on the Installation DVD-ROM) and I have
taken these steps:
+/etc/rc.conf: dbus_enable=YES
+/etc/rc.conf: hald_enable=YES
and also:
I have added startkde4 to .xinitrc
While using KDE, I continuously receive these errors:
Akonadi Control Process Not Registered at D-Bus
Akonadi Server Process Not Registered at D-Bus

What is this Akonadi problem all about? How may I fix this thing?
Thanks

I had a friend who had a problem with Akonadi also, although it was
failing with MySQL and dbus. For whatever reason, he ran
mysql_upgrade, rebooted the system and the problem went away. Perhaps
it was just a coincidence. In any event, he does not have a
polkitd_enable statement in the rc.conf file, nor a local_startup
one either.

RE: KDE in FreeBSD
Hello. Explain how to adjust please dial-up connection in KDE about the help kppp? I have made all as it is necessary but by pressing connect there is a tablet modem is busy . The modem does not react. -- Best regards, Sergey mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] In the announcement/change list for KDE 3.4.2 at kde.org I read this: kppp: fixed PPP interface check on FreeBSD and possibly other systems So I'd suggest you to wait for 3.4.2 becoming the official port.

Re: KDE on FreeBSD 5.3
Ok, that's simple, kde is a system which use client - server mode to communicate between each application. it use the hostname to know where to listen and to know where to ask question. Well, if you set a hostname without any real sense, like vincent for example, it will try to resolv it, in order to know what is you local ip. Well, I don't know why kde don't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 despite of hostname but is like that. If you don't put your hostname in your hosts file, the resolv could be very long ... and it could failed. But if it exist in hosts file, kde ask it, and the system answer immediatly. The system go on ! ok, see ya perhaps kde developer could give a better explanation. ciao Le Sat, Mar 26, 2005 at 04:24:44PM +, Rhys Campbell a écrit: From: Rhys Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: KDE on FreeBSD 5.3 Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 16:24:44 + Merci Vincent, rc.conf was fine but added what you said to the hosts file.
