Font Path prompt in pkg_add

2022-04-28 Thread Christopher Turkel
I'm on OpenBSD AMD64 7.1, fresh install
I noticed when adding fonts via pkg_add it no longer prints out "You may
wish to" after installation is finished.

is this a bug, or a feature?

Re: When will be created a great desktop experience for OpenBSD?

2019-05-14 Thread Christopher Turkel
The GUI verses command line arguments are as old as time itself, or close
to it. What constitutes a great desktop experience is a matter of taste,
whatever works for you may not work for someone else. Not one desktop or
GUI will fit everyone; use whats best for you and live your own computer
life.

OpenBSD has a massive amount of tools to make any kind of desktop you wish,
that's why it is awesome.

You can copy the system.fvwm2rc to /home/.fvwm and edit the root menu to
launch your apps.

But barring that, I just use firefox & in a terminal

I use OpenBSD as my daily driver as my desktop OS. It really is the easiest
OS I've ever used because of the wealth of documentation, everything is in
the man pages, with examples, plus so many resources on the web. When I use
any other OS I am always amazed how complicated they are.

This configuration rocks, both of them. I love FVWM.

I think FVWM should dropped as the default WM, its old and clunky. I think

I use OpenBSD as my desktop though since I develop Motif at work it hasn't
hurt my job skills.

DWA-131 Rev E

2018-07-05 Thread Christopher Turkel
Hi all I have a DWA-131 Rev E

It (seems) to use a Realtek 8192eu. I googled and read mapages but I
couldn't find an answer.

I'm on OpenBSD/amd64 and running -current
