Want to bet that webcam does not work??? ;)

StaticPhilly, If your still looking for a panel, try Tint2. I have just started using it and think its a decent replacement for PyPanel. You can find in the ports, located in /usr/ports/x11/tint

I have seen this on many AMD64 systems for almost a year now, running FreeBSD and Linux... Its sad to say, but pypanel is a dead project as far as I know.

I use a device called Kill-A-Watt... Its a great device. Highly recommended for tracking down wasted energy and tracking energy usage. At the moment my desktop is running at a nice and cool 111 watts (), before installing 8-Rel it was consuming much more power :) A software solution would...

I am a ham (KG6---)... Maybe you can tell from my user name. Its sad to say but I have not incorporated freebsd with my station yet. I wish I could run my IRLP node with FREEBSD, but for now I use Ubuntu Server...

I jumped around for a long time, since the later 90's using Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse etc. I eventually came to the conclusion that less is more, and have avoided the big distributions ever since. I also found that Gentoo was more trouble than it was worth so ArchLinux was the best of both worlds...

I liked 2009.06 but I really wish it had better support for USB printers... only a few models are supported. And I am not just referring to the limitations of CUPS having a few drivers, I mean the hardware is not recognized... :(

Maybe I should upgrade from 7.2-RELEASE to 7.2-STABLE ;)

Ok, I think I solved this problem... Maybe this will work for you as well, just remove the thunar-volman-plugin. As far as i can tell everything is working well without it, and the multiple new thunar windows that were opening have stopped occurring on initial mounting of a storage device.

" Originally Posted by roddierod View Post There may be something different with XFCE. I use Thunar as a file manager sometimes and when it is open and I plug my MP3 player into the USB port 10 more instances of Thunar pop up. I have no idea why. " I just wanted to add that I am seeing this...

Thanks for the information Oko, thats about what I expected to hear... I would rather learn/run FreeBSD without webcam support than switch back to linux. With that being said, I can live without a camera for now.

I have done a little searching about getting a USB webcam working on FreeBSD and it seems that there is no UVC driver. Does anyone know of a project to get this working? I did read that both OpenBSD and NetBSD have solutions for webcams. Forgive my ignorance of such things, but is it difficult...

Thanks for the advice vermaden and sirdice, you have given me new options to experiment with. I will follow up on this thread if I make any progress.

Thank you Vermaden, but I am already aware of the mount command for large fat32 drives. What I am trying to accomplish is to have Dolphin, Nautilus, or Thunar allow me to mount the drive as I would in linux... by mounting it in the file manager. I realize that I can mount it in a terminal and...

Another idea I was thinking about is formatting the drive to a different file system. Does anyone have any experience sharing a drive between BSD and Linux?

At the moment I run KDE4, but I also like to use Openbox with thunar from time to time.

I have a 250Gb external USB hard drive formatted in fat32 and would like to use it with my FreeBSD desktop system. I understand that because of the size of the partition and the limitations of the default kernel, mounting such a partition requires a flag to mount "large partitions". Mounting in...

I have just recently seen a fresh install of 7.1 do this. Never happened before though... I just hit the power switch, but every once in a while my computer will turn its self back on, after about 20 minutes of being off. Checked the bios and I can't figure out what is going on...

This is great news, thanks for the help.
