Okay thanks man

I don't think it's resolved if something were to freeze and I have to restart the computer without shutting it down correctly when it tries to boot afterwards is when it panics and I cant get in it and have to reinstall. It's FreeBSD 10 release and it's a desktop. Thanks

I have since reinstalled but thank you for your help.

If I have to restart the computer without using shutdown ex: just pressing power because it is not responding when I reboot, it panics before I can go into single user mode or do anything. The only thing I can get into is either A: the boot loader which I don't know if there's anything in there...

Hi. How do you recompile a pkg package not a port and look at its options. I am being told ecore-x was not compiled with support for xcomposite so I need to compile that in. Thanks.

I think it's because I rushed and forgot to create a swap partition. Doh. I knew it was something stupid.

Why not? :P I have run boxes with -CURRENT on them, sometimes they work sometimes they don't. It's still fun to play around with. I understand -CURRENT isn't bleeding edge, it's what they are working on. I am dyslexic. No I didn't know it made a difference thanks. I guess I should just...

Hello. I upgraded to -CURRENT last night and I cannot boot. It says 'out of file descriptors' directly after trying to mount the root filesystem. I tried adding kern.maxfiles=450000 (that's the highest I tried I played with the number it's just not working.) to /boot/loader.conf and it doesn't...

sossego, I actually posted using dillo yesterday. Lastnight overnight the second time around chromium managed to compile and I am on it now. You can mark this solved I guess because I can live without firefox. Thanks to all that responded.

Hello and how are you all. I just put a FreeBSD desktop up and it's all set up except for one thing. I'm trying to get a web browser installed and usable. Firefox compiled and installed from ports but when I go to run it, it opens and then dumps a core. Seamonkey installed from ports does...

I think this belongs here. If it doesn't, feel free to move it where it belongs. I am trying to get guake to work with freebsd FreeBSD. I have done this once before, but I either don't remember how I fixed this error or for some reason I didn't get it last time. Does anyone know what python...

This works for me. Your "solution" at least got me hardware acceleration over a year and a half after I had been trying to get this working. Here. Other forums. I had people logging in the box trying to help, I was getting help in IRC. No go. Until someone comes up with something better I am...

I have a couple freebsd machines the reason I run current is I like to see whats going on, and I learn a lot too having to fix stuff and dabble with things like right now lol. I have been running current since 9 was current and I only came up with this one and one other that stumped me. I guess...

I temporarily solved the problem by rsyncing /usr/bin/as from another machine. All is compiling nicely. I don't think they fixed the code yet or I cant seem to figure out what to recompile. /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/as IS /usr/bin/as apparently. Idk.. Im open to suggestions.

I didn't see a forum for FreeBSD current but this one says freebsd internals so I chose this. Feel free to move it if its in the wrong area. With that said I am running freebsd current and got caught by a bug that broke /usr/bin/as and wont allow me to build ports, or make world without me...

what the hell I should have waited just a little while longer. Upon viewing this forum I came upon this thread. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=13918 Originally I didnt have a Xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 which I thought was ok because the system auto detected everything and worked so...

I haven't had to be here in a while, I hope you are all doing well for yourselves. The title here explains it all, I installed the nvidia-driver-173 port which is the one for my card as far as the nvidia website states. My card is an old nvidia FX5200 I had laying around, the module nvidia is...

I had this same problem lastnight, during portmaster -a.. I was brought to your post by google. I figured it was just one of those things so I slept on it. They indeed fixed it overnight as I suspected. Just update your ports collection ex, cd /usr/ports/ and run make update. You'll...

I understand, keep the information useful and condensed. Makes sense. I tend to get carried away but also thought anyone who ever had a computer issue drive them nutty would find humor in the few posts above. I'll just post on other forums as well maybe they have the answer as I can see no one...

Must have the cube. I'm about to touch a 9 volt battery to the onboard video of this god damn motherboard and fizz it up, or pry the gpu chip off with a razorblade. The way computers evolve so quickly, how was adding a disable onboard video entry not a thought up idea on a motherboard with 6...
