Never tried, but the way Xorg is going this looks kind of frightening ;) that's why i'm asking. To do it that way in port system, because Xorg started to follow "linux way" and "kde/gnome way" i.e. - adding hald as a "requirement" by default - disabling CTRL-ALT-backspace by default - of course user should not leave X session, it's forbidden ;) it's not funny, because while i don't use all these KDE/gnome things, i do need X. Actually X11 isn't quite unix philosophy, it should be graphics support in console driver, but it's not possible to do it now with so many gfx cards. I wonder how long it will take that we will have to build our own computer to be able to run unix normally. Maybe someone will do, using off the shelf CPUs, and quite simple gfx controller. Actually not many unix users do need all these 3D functions. most just need framebuffer with 2D acceleration. ___ 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: Shutting down X with control+alt+backspace
it may, dealing with portupgrade/portdowngrade
but setting AllowEmptyInput (ServerLayout) works.
hal is'nt well documented...
it'ld be a good idea to explain its configuration in the handbook

When Xorg was upgraded to version 7.4, the historic ability to shut
down X
with Control+Alt+Backspace became a non-default option. The solution to
re-enabling this behavior was to add
Option "DontZap" "off"
to the ServerLayout or ServerFlags section of xorg.conf as documented in
a note in the Handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html
A few days ago, x11/xkeyboard-config was upgraded to 1.6 and the
solution
in the Handbook is no longer sufficient.
The new solution that gets Control+Alt+Backspace working for me
again is to add
Option "XKbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
to the "InputDevice" section of xorg.conf.

It does seem to be the wave of the future however, so any documentation that might help ease me into that transition would be appreciated. ___ 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"

It seems that xfsm-shutdown-helper no longer uses sudo to gain the necessary privileges to shut the system down - instead it uses hal & policykit. Unfortunately this changeover doesn't seem to be documented anywhere - either for freebsd or xfce. However, give the user the appropriate permissions in /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf (see the man page for details) and it all starts working again.

Thanks. In some way or other, shutdown must be done by root, or possibly by someone in the operator group. You can log in as root -- for which you will need the root password You can 'su' to root from a regular account -- for which you will need the root password AND be in the wheel group. You can create an alkternate root account (recommended) and log in as that id or su to it -- which requires creating the account with password. You can put your account in the operator group -- You can install and set up 'sudo' to do the shutdown and allow your id access to it. All of these ways require you to have root access to set them up. They can also be done in 'single user' mode which runs with root priviledge. All of this is well covered in the handbool and other documentation. jerry Right. I now remember that putting the account in the operator group was probably how I achieved the affect on the desktop.

Thanks. In some way or other, shutdown must be done by root, or possibly by someone in the operator group. You can log in as root -- for which you will need the root password You can 'su' to root from a regular account -- for which you will need the root password AND be in the wheel group. You can create an alkternate root account (recommended) and log in as that id or su to it -- which requires creating the account with password. You can put your account in the operator group -- You can install and set up 'sudo' to do the shutdown and allow your id access to it. All of these ways require you to have root access to set them up. They can also be done in 'single user' mode which runs with root priviledge. All of this is well covered in the handbool and other documentation. jerry > > Rem > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Shutting down as user
Hi everyone. I just installed 6.1 on an old laptop, and I am unable to shutdown as user. I get a "permission denied" error message. Whatever is shutting down the system would either need to be setuid (chmod u+s), or would need to use sudo (if you have the sudo port and your user is properly setup in sudoers to issue the shutdown command or whatever is running). Some details on which window manager or desktop environment you are running would help, along with whether or not you are running a display manager (GDM, KDM, XDM, etc).

FreeBSD 6.1 shutting down.
Hello everyone, I'm On FreeBSD 6.1R, the box is intel945 extra Dlink NIC P4.3 1G DDR2, 160GB sata. running Freeradius, chillispot, MySql 4.1, apache2. acting as NAT and hotspot login. there is two diffrent servers with the same specifications. Its was working fine starting from day 1 to day 5 uptime. and the other box from day 1 to 3, with almost 30 users as hotspot login. On day 5, it had a sudden shutdown, some users called me reported there is no internet when i checked the server i discovered the box is off power. The second box after 3 days had the same problem. when i started the power, for both...again it start to work in a goodway. I was shocked.. checked messages, dmesg, and almost everything I couldnot find any clue in logs.. so question 1, How would i check what happened for this power shutting down? 2) in my dmesg and since i was settingup the box, the following error was always coming and on single line atapci1: failed to enable memory mapping! any help on this please?

Hi Matias, no, everything is OK. 'shutdown now' brings the system to 'single user' state. If you want to restart or power down the machine have a look at man 8 shutdown (especially '-p' or '-r' options).

Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Shutting down [k|g]dm for a short while?
I run kdm on ttyv8, as recommended by the handbook. % grep kdm /etc/ttys ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon"xterm on secure I'm also using the closed-source nvidia drivers. To upgrade them requires that I unload nvidia.ko. Which I can't do with kdm running, because it needs that module. The only solution I can come up with it to edit /etc/ttys, reboot, upgrade the drivers, change /etc/ttys back, and boot again. Is there a cleaner way of doing this?

RE: FreeBSD-newbies shutting down? (was: no freebsd-beginners list?)
Yes, that was my intention. I don't see many newbie questions on this board so I was looking for one that would better match my skill level. But if the only people on the newbies list were newbies, and there was no one to correct the newbies when they gave inaccurate answers as you stated, then I can see why that list would not be a good place for technical questions. I guess I was hoping that there would be some people who knew what they were doing on that list that liked helping people learn. I will stay here if this list is for the newbie and the advanced user as well. I can see the benefits of that. I just hope that along with the RTFM posts, I get directed to where in TFM I need to R. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg 'groggy' Lehey Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 10:23 PM To: Brian Kinsey Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD-newbies shutting down?

You're correct that 5* uses ACPI by default; but if ACPI doesn't work on a specific computer, I think the kernel can be reconfigured to use APM. If ACPI is working for you, that's great! I recall many had problems with it in FreeBSD 5.1. Have the problems been ironed out in 5.2?

Problem with shutting down/rebooting
Hi all! I'm having a bit of a problem with my FreeBSD 5.1-R-p5 machine. If I issue the command "shutdown -h now", the system starts it's shutdown process. This is the output I get: writing entropy file saving firewall state tables syslogd exiting on signal 15 waiting (max 60 sec) for system process vnlru to stopstopped After this, the machine stops responding and just sits there forever, never unmounting the filesystems and halting. Anyone has any idea as to what's going on here? Oh, and the problem first came up, IIRC, after switching the vga card in the machine (from nVidia to ATi). Thanks in advance!
