Hi In KDE5, all shell scripts in the ${HOME}/.config/plasma-workspace/env directory will be executed before the desktop session is started, and the effects will be propagated to the desktop session. I have setup a file named ${HOME}/.config/plasma-workspace/env/locale.sh that has export...

UPDATING was extended with a record on this issue in revision 438359, although this happened only after the firefox port was updated in revision 438264, so there was a timeslot (of about one day) with the sem limited firefox in ports but without it's corresponding UPDATING record...

If the sem module is loaded, or the corresponding functionality has statically been linked into the kernel, the number of available semaphores can be increased on the fly using the p1003_1b.sem_nsems_max sysctl tuneable. I don't know at what overhead this comes, but I assume it to be neglectible...

hello I can reproduce this with FreeBSD10-STABLE build from mid september and 11-RELEASE. Over here, the mouse clicks do work only in either applications or the kde panel, but not in both at the same time. I can make the mouse work on the whole desktop again by right-clicking on whatever has...

Not the hottest news any more, but I guess the howto on installing KF5 posted to kde-freebsd@kde.org might still be relevant enough to be posted here: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2015-May/019248.html

Baloo is supposed to replace nepomuk AFAIK, but as things are right now on KDE 4.x, you'll need both instead. Also, area51 (linked in the second post of this thread) has had KDE-4.14.3 for over a month now, but it seems there's too little feedback about it so it's merge to ports is being...

mmap functionality mostly serves the purpose of preventing double/triple caching by providing the OS's filesystem cache directly to the application, while stream I/O operations need the application to allocate their own memory to store copies of the IO datasets in. Doing so however the OS needs...

Hello, I've tried to build binaries using -fsanitize=address several times in the past using ports and base clang, always resulting in a failure diagnosing something like libasan not found. Now ports' lang/gcc has been updated to 4.8 and address sanitize is mentioned in the commit log, however...

Well, first of, the GeForce 770 is "still" a Kepler (year 2012 line) based GPU, supporting OpenGL 4.3. The GeForce 750 (and TI variant) Cards have Maxwell (year 2014 line) GPUs which support OpenGL 4.4. That said, I don't think we have many applications in ports that need high end or even...

What kind of data will you be hosting, and how large is the working set? Usually for mainstream setups, which is indicated by the WD GREENs, the working set is very large and completely random (with a very limited amount of "hot" data), where it makes more sense to store only metadata on the...

This is likely unrelated to KDE and the last diagnostic tells your graphics card is not supported or you forgot to install/setup the corresponding driver - since intel, mga and AFAIK also ati drivers are automagically configured, i guess you have an nvidia card?. If so, install and load the...

Re: Do I need to setup my ZFS for foreign-language files (e. ZFS encodes all strings using UTF-8 by default. However, the client and/or protocol used for file access from your Windows instance needs to support it - and this is usually the issue (by "unicode support" I refer to the ability to...

The way I read ${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.openssl.mk, setting WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=YES and OPENSSL_PORT=security/libressl in make.conf would not only cause the installation of libressl from ports, but also the linking of any libssl/libcrypto consumer against libressl on top of that, which is more important...

See the handbook, chapter 5 on how to install additional packages, though if you're new to BSD/Unix you should start at chapter 4 instead. gcc 8.0 doesn't exist. The newest version officially released is 4.9.1 (released yesterday). You probably mean 4.8.0 ? An ancient version of gcc is part...

Hello, I want to collect code coverage statistics of software built with clang (optimally the one in (FreeBSD10's) base), however building it in --coverage mode fails to link, diagnosing # cc --coverage test.c /usr/bin/ld: /usr/bin/../lib/libprofile_rt.a: No such file: No such file or...

Is there any reason the brown accountant in slide 16 turned red after/during the rng demo?

stack-protector-all means that any procedures independent of it's local storage size will get it's overflow detection cookies, so the ssp-buffer-size is ignored. Also, SSP_CXXFLAGS is not considered, c++ uses CFLAGS here. The clang in base does not have stack-protector-strong. I wouldn't...

It doesn't help at all with the greeter, it works around the requirement for it ;) The mentioned file is required by kdm but kdm will also create that file if it is not present at it's execution, so mounting the nfs share with write access and root conservation, executing kdm and rebooting the...

Install the startx script which is in the x11/xinit port, write something like dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/local/bin/startkde into your user's ${HOME}/.xinitrc and run startx to start kde.

It is indeed harder to execute a procedure if you don't know its specific address, but it isn't impossible, especially if callback procedures are used, where the stack layout local to a certain part of program text of let's say the konqueror web browser is well known, so what needs to be done is...
