And I am not talking about laptop, but a desktop.

It might also be in real time.

For example, I aim on adding another 160GB HD.
This tool would show me, is current power supply adequate, regarding all other power sucking components. ;) ]]> System Hardware Seeker http://forums.FreeBSD.org/showthread.php?t=8602 Mail Server done http://forums.FreeBSD.org/showthread.php?t=8601&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:26:28 GMT I'd like to thank everyone here for helping me work through it. =)

A couple of days ago the disk-space ran out on my /var partition so I panicked and deleted some files somewhere in /var/db/portsnap/, and maybe somewhere else, because they took up alot of space, and I just thought that they where some old .tgz files that hadn't been deleted.
But anyway, after that I couldn't update my ports tree because of some error just like in this thread: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3341

So I did as the guy answered:
Code:
rm /var/db/portsnap/tag
rm -rf /var/db/portsnap/files
rm -rf /usr/ports
portsnap fetch extract
And I could update my ports tree just fine.
BUT, now it won't update any ports and it doesn't "remember" any installed ports either...
If i run pkg_info i get:
Code:
pkg_info: no packages installed
I'm guessing I deleted some list of the installed ports..
Can I somehow fix this so it will recognize that I have installed the ports and update them?
Or would I have to reinstall FreeBSD to get it to work?

Roughly ~80 -> ~100 processes, low load average, but only 4668K of Free Mem. Is this normal? My understanding is that Inact memory is basically the same as free memory.... so why doesn't FBSD clear that out?

Quote:
FreeBSD 8.0 is the next expected release of FreeBSD, having been branched from the trunk in August 2009. It will feature superpages, Xen DomU support, network stack virtualization, stack-smashing protection, TTY layer rewrite, much improved ZFS support, a new USB stack, multicast updates including IGMPv3, and rewritten NFS client/server introducing NFSv4. Inclusion of improved device mmap() extensions will allow the technical implementation of a 64-bit Nvidia display driver for the x86-64 platform. FreeBSD 8.0 release date has slipped to early November 2009.[38]

On my Thinkpad T42, the radeon driver seems to randomly freeze.

Luckily I am not doing much graphically so I have opted to use the VESA driver.

The problem is that unless the VertRefrsh and HorizSync are specified in the xorg.conf, the resolution is locked to 800x600.

I have put in these values...

HorizSync: 30-50
VertRefresh: 60-60

And all seems fine, I can use 1024x768...

These values I kinda guessed, how would you find out these values properly? The documentation for the laptop will never state these values and google says every single value under the sun.

Am I at risk of damaging my monitor doing this and with trial and error?

Would this have worked if the monitor was widescreen? Or do I need to try some other values? (Thank god the laptop is not widescreen)

Any advice would be great,

Despite my best efforts to find a solution out in general Google land, I seems to have an intractable problem with Polkit or a related system/daemon/module.

Symptoms:
Code:
  The Grant button under systems/preferences/authorizations
    is perpetually greyed out. I can not make changes.
  The Add User button (system/administration/users and groups)
    is also perpetually greyed out. (I know no one would ever
    add users from there, it's just a symptom of the problem)
  I can't shutdown or restart (although sudo shutdown and
    reboot do work) using Gnome's functions.
  All these symptoms are true for root as well as *usr01* (who
    is a member of wheel, though that is the only group).
Possible Diagnostic Messages

Hi All,


I am new to UNIX and have installed FreeBSD 7.2 on a laptop computer and have been using it for a couple of weeks now, I have not installed a GUI because I want to get used to the command line, I am logged on locally to the console.

Can you please let me know how I can change the display settings?
I use the cshell and sometimes bash, at the moment the text size on the display is so large I have to scroll to view content that I should otherwise be able to view on a single screen.

I have included the output of uname –a and env, believing that the answer has something to do with the environment variable TERM, am I right?
Please advice.

Thank you

I'm new to FreeBSD, but not Linux in general.

My question:

in FreeBSD, how do I install apps from a repo?

Ex. in Ubuntu it's "apt-get install <app_name>" and in Fedora is't "yum install <app_name>".

What is this equivilent in FreeBSD?

Thanks.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Laptop with the following specifications:-

Intel Core Duo processor 2.40 GHz
128MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
Intel 802.11agn wireless


My primary NEED for a Unix like Distribution is as follows:

A. Programming need.
B. Compilers, Linkers and Debuggers.
C. Speed in Mathematical calculations.

Just plain working fast computing.

Please advice if FreeBSD will be a good stable OS for Laptops.
