    I cannot open Lxterminal as user

    Thanks SirDice, There was nothing in the logs to indicate that there was an error, but I tried Gnome-terminal and that works. So I will put this down as an X-file (Mystery) and stick with Gnome-terminal.

    I cannot open Lxterminal as user

    That's the funny thing, there is no error when I type say lxterminal in xterm. It just thinks for a bit, then the screen will flicker and then it goes back to the prompt. But if I become root and type the same, lxterminal works.

    I cannot open Lxterminal as user

    Hi, I have just installed FreeBSD amd64 with Dwm. I install Lxterminal but I cannot start it as normal user, only as root from Xterm. I tried a different Terminal "Xfce4-Terminal" + "Evilvte" but the same thing I cannot use them as a normal user but it works fine if I'm root in xterm. Any ideas?

    Chrome and flash

    Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone has flash-plugin going on chromium? I thought chrome built flash-plugin when you build the package. Maybe it doesn't or did I do something wrong ?

    I have only recently installed FreeBSD about two months ago, coming from a Linux background. I found it quite easy to install FreeBSD alongside of my Gentoo installation. So I think the installer is quite fine.
