Using FreeBSD in a virtual machine to test available options for my (very small) personal website and blog before moving it to hosting. Also playing with GTK+ and OpenGL.

@wblock Thank you. dhclient em0 worked for me. Related question: How do I find the name of the interface (em0 in this case)? How are interface names assigned?

Actually, I was looking for how to install Django, not configure it. The handbook only tells us how to install Django along with mod_python and hence the confusion. The link you provided did prove useful though, except for a few glitches. (/path/to/mysite should actually be the path to the...

I have managed to install mod_wsgi3 and apache22 and would like to install Django now. I have tested the mod_wsgi installation as directed here: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide and it works fine. The handbook has instructions for installing Django using...

I use FreeBSD in a VMware Virtual Machine. Between uses, I suspend the VM. However, on resuming, I find that Internet connectivity is lost. To restore Internet access, I run sysinstall and select Configure > Networking > Interfaces > em0 and then select Yes for DHCP configuration. Once I...

My /etc/make.conf reads as follows: # added by use.perl 2011-03-08 15:40:13 PERL_VERSION=5.12.3 I don't know how that got there. What does it do? I'd like to avoid pkg_add -f if possible. Is there a way to make either package use the other perl version?

I'm installing GIMP using: pkg_add -r gimp Here are some of the errors: pkg_add: package 'perl-5.10.1_3' conflicts with perl-5.12.3 pkg_add: please use pkg_delete first to remove conflicting package(s) or -f to force installation pkg_add: pkg_add of dependency 'perl-5.10.1_3' failed! pkg_add...

I have OpenOffice installed and am now trying to install GIMP. However, the installation fails because the latest OpenOffice requires perl-5.12.3 and GIMP requires perl-5.10.1_3. How do I get around this?

You need to set a partition as bootable.

How do I install reference documentation for GTK+ on FreeBSD? Do I have to get the source code for GTK+ in order to access documentation? If so, what is the FreeBSD way to go about it?

Thanks for all your replies. I was under the impression that one could somehow specify a GTK2 widget for OpenGL to use as a rendering window. I was thinking this was possible without using third party libraries.

Thanks. I'll have a look at this. I was expecting something simple along the lines of the GLUT sample.

I'm looking for toolbars, menubar and a command line window (similar to autocad). I'd appreciate it if you could share some code. Thanks.

I am about to get started on a small project using OpenGL and GTK2. I hope to be able to do this on FreeBSD. I managed to have a GLUT sample program (spinning triangle) running on my FreeBSD virtual machine within minutes. However, my project involves a more involved UI and I will not be able to...

I solved this by moving to XFCE. Tch. Tch.

Questions pertaining to pkg_add -r : How do I know what locations are going to be looked up (PACKAGEROOT is not defined)? How do I know what packages are available?

I'm having the same problem. Logging in as root works fine but if I login as a regular user, a few seconds after logging in, there is a torrent of gpk-update-icon calls. As an example, the following command: ps -ax | grep gpk-update-icon | wc -l ...returned 291 at one point. Please help.

This looks like a VMWare thing as described here: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/vmware-ctrl-alt-f1/ "...in order to send a regular Ctrl+Alt keyboard combination to the guest you need to press Ctrl+Alt+Space, then release the spacebar while still holding down the Ctrl+Alt keys, and then...

Thanks! Alt+F9 works. Any ideas how I can configure GNOME or X so I can go from GUI to character console?
