    Phone SD card recognized as CD-ROM instead of disk

    Yes, as already mentioned on this thread, the FUSE mtpfs is already in the FreeBSD ports system.

    Phone SD card recognized as CD-ROM instead of disk

    @SirDice and others: if you can show me the usbconfig output for these CD devices, I can add them to my patch for disabling this behaviour.

    Phone SD card recognized as CD-ROM instead of disk

    I asked the experts, and Hans Petter Selasky suggested I just eject (via cdcontrol) the CD that the phone was presenting to me. This works, in that the MTP interface is available on my USB bus afterwards. I'm trying to figure out how to automate this, but neither devfs nor devd has quite...

    Phone SD card recognized as CD-ROM instead of disk

    On my (updated to "Jelly Bean") phone, MTP only works if the USB debugging option is enabled. If it is, usbconfig sees a ugen interface of MTP type; but not otherwise. I also have a tablet, running Android 4.0.4, and it reports as MTP rather than umass. libmtp (and thus, probably, tools like...

    ssh-key problems

    Increase the debug output (for the client as well as the server) and see what that tells you (for instance, whether the client tries to present the key, and whether the server rejects it). Another trick would be to compare the sshd configurations, especially if they haven't been changed from...

    Makefile for Emacs extension package

    One note: ports should only be adding or modifying files under /usr/local. If you want to add the package loading to site-start.el, that might make sense, but make sure you make that optional. Having a port modify individual user's configuration files is a terrible idea.

    how do you change the ports mirror

    An IP address can be used, although it might be easier to set up a DNS server for your local addresses. You can NFS-mount the ports tree if you like, which is generally easier than using a Microsoft-style share. In that case, I would recommend setting WRKDIRPREFIX to build the ports in a local...

    Periodic system freezes

    You need to get the exact error text. I suggest using a camera. This may be a hardware problem...

    Periodic system freezes

    So you can run the machine without X at all, and you still get the freeze? Doesn't sound like Gnome (or X) is part of the problem. You might try Ctrl-t before and after the freeze; that will give you some system status even if the normal shell read is broken.

    Remote Desktop

    It's possible (you can look into xdmcp), but most of the time it is much easier and more efficient to run the window manager on the same machine that the screen is attached to. Then you just connect to your server and run your applications there.

    Problem Mounting Thumb Drive

    There isn't much information in your post to work from. The messages you included aren't necessarily a problem. You will need to look a little deeper. Let's ignore the GUI issues for now, to make sure that the device is okay. Once you can mount it by hand, we can look at the GUI. You don't...

    system clean

    For old distfiles, I use portsclean(1) from the ports-mgmt/portupgrade port, but if you use portmaster et. al., you should use the equivalent from your tool of choice. For removing unneeded dependencies, I like the ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves port.

    Programming for Audio CD

    Nearly all programs that can play CDs are capable of doing digital extraction (I use multimedia/xmms and audio/amarok, but they are a bit heavyweight for just playing a CD). If you're interested in writing your own, my advice would depend on why you want to do so. For instance, if your...

    best way to encrypt file and folder

    If all you want is to have the encrypted files have a different extension, do that. It doesn't matter what file extension you use; they have no real meaning on Unix. GPG or any other program will use any extension you tell them to.

    error while updating

    Hmm. Do you have devel/pth installed? Even though I do, I don't see any link flags for pth in the directory where your build failed.

    error while updating

    pth is pthreads. I can't reproduce the problem. What system version are you running?
