If the kernel wasn't updated, then uname will still show the last kernel revision. If you're vain enough, you can rebuild your kernel from source to "fix" this, but it's really not necessary. If freebsd-update says you're up to date, you are up to date.

I just looked at the Makefile, and there isn't anywhere it defines IGNORE, so that must be from portmanager. Try this to manually upgrade the port: cd /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable/ make If that works, then you can install it with: make deinstall reinstall clean

Uh, isn't that a tool for portupgrade?

You can use dd for that. First see what your first flash drive's device is (probably something like da0). Then you can plug in your second drive and (assuming it's da1) you can do something like dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/da1

Interesting, because I get that same feeling when I try to use ee. ;)

hintfull? yuck. :P I'm currently using hintslight with the LCD patches. I can honestly say that these are the nicest looking fonts I have ever seen. Yes. This is because this only enables the LCD patches in freetype, while other libraries which should use it are not also patched. Here's how I...

vim user here, and I love it. I want to give yi a try as well, but it seems that we need a newer ghc port first before I can compile it.

Ah yes, such a simple solution. Thanks!

Well, maybe it would be good if I showed the whole script: #!/bin/sh UPDATE=1 SYSTEM=`uname -sr` while :; do DATE=`date +"%a %B %d, %I:%M %p"` BATTERY=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.life` # if xmms2d is running if [ -n `pgrep xmms2d` ]; then # another if statement, stopped...

I am trying to convert a simple script that I wrote from zsh to /bin/sh, but it seems that the behavior of the -n option for conditional tests is different from zsh. Example from zsh: if [[ -n `pgrep xmms2d` ]]; then echo "This code will not be run." fi And in sh: if [ -n `pgrep xmms2d`...

I believe that /boot/kernel is overwritten every time you upgrade freebsd, so it may be smarter to copy it to /boot/modules instead.

Those look like very old instructions, have you tried the newer ndisgen(8))? By the way, I had the exact same problem trying to get my wifi card (a Realtek RTL8191SE) to work. I was able to load the kernel module (it appeared in kldstat), but no ndis0 device appeared.

Huh, odd. I thought both of them used Realtek chipsets now, but maybe it's just the T500. :-/

I am having lots of trouble trying to get this wifi card to work. I bought my thinkpad on the assumption that the "Thinkpad Wifi" was Atheros, but apparently with the T400/T500 series Lenovo has switched to using Realtek chips. First, some system info: % uname -a FreeBSD FGD135 8.0-BETA2...

For some reason, every one of these symptoms I've been having have disappeared, although I do not know of anything that I changed that would have caused it to be fixed. xmonad is now working perfectly.

OK, so here's a follow-up. The disappearing windows problem seems to be fix now after I switched from xterm to urxvt. However, the system beeps are still there. I've also found I get these beeps when I change the number of master windows using Mod+, or Mod+. (in xmonad, dwm doesn't have this...

I just got my new laptop (a Lenovo T500), so I set up FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2 on it. I also wanted to use Xorg with xmonad as my window manager. So far, I've notices two, very strange things (tested with xmonad and dwm): Five out of six times (about), opening a terminal using Mod+Shift+Enter...

Nice! Love the new forum.
