I'm trying to get my USB joystick working with the uhidd daemon. I know that the linux-js port is broken and won't build, but I have seen forum posts that suggest I use the uhidd daemon to enable a USB controller. From /var/log/dmesg: ugen0.2: <awecades.com> at usbus0 uhid0: <awecades.com USB...

This works nicely for me #!/bin/sh ACTION=`zenity --width=90 --height=200 --list --radiolist --text="Select logout action" --title="Logout" --column "Choice" --column "Action" TRUE Shutdown FALSE Reboot FALSE Logout` if [ -n "${ACTION}" ];then case $ACTION in Shutdown) zenity...

Snidely Whiplash strikes again..................yahaha! Actually while I can manually mount samba shares with the PCBSD PBI Smb4K, while running Spectrwm, and having read all the hal, dbus, polkit and consolekit threads, thanks to DutchDaemon's alternative search method...

That is what I was looking for, and to have it enabled when I start Spectrwm would be nice.

Yes Gnome automounts my removable and internal drives and Spectrwm doesn't. When I try to connect to a samba share with gigolo in spectrwm, I get this error Connecting to "smb://192.168.2.3/WDTVLiveHub/" failed. volume doesn't implement mount When I try to connect to a samba share with...

I can access internal, network or removable volumes with either nautilus or gigolo while running gnome. I can't access other volumes with nautilus and gigolo while running spectrwm. Is there a bash command entry that I can add to .xsession or .xinitrc to enable whatever is working for gnome to...

Thankk you, francis. I'll try that. I didn't realize the use of rc.d and rc.conf were so flexible. When I used the hash symbol "#", I was meaning a number. It is probably a depreciated usage now , but "#" used to be called the number sign, then later it became the pound sign, because it is...

I am trying to read my cpu temp with gkrellm using mbmon, which requires me to run mbmon -r -P <port#> I can start mbmon by adding mbmon_enable="YES" to my rc.conf, but this doesn't ouput mbmon's readings to a port for gkrellm to read. I could use a crontab file, but it doesn't seem proper to...

Thanks mingrone. I no longer have an output from this crontab file, but if I run into trouble with outputs from this or any other crontab files, this is a great tip for dealing with those outputs.

Thanks Alt. That worked.

Thanks wblock. I tried it again with the linefeed after the last line: [chris@pcbsd64] ~> crontab fetch [chris@pcbsd64] ~> crontab -l PATH=/usr/local/bin */1 * * * * /usr/local/bin/fetchmail >/dev/null [chris@pcbsd64] ~> When I rebooted, fetchmail was run every 60 seconds, I also...

Thanks wblock. If your advice doesn't work, I will start a new thread. In the mean time this works for me in lieu of my crontab file: #!/bin/sh while : do sleep 60 && /usr/local/bin/fetchmail done I saved this script and run it as part of my /.config/openbox/autostart.sh I think I will start a...

I too am having difficulty getting my crontab to run [chris@pcbsd64] ~> crontab fetch [chris@pcbsd64] ~> crontab -l PATH=/usr/local/bin */1 * * * * /usr/local/bin/fetchmail[chris@pcbsd64] ~> /etc/rc.d/cron start eval: cannot open /var/run/cron.pid: Permission denied Starting cron. cron...

My apologies for all lower case I have 4 shift keys on this bizaar keyboard and only one of them works. I will use it from now on.

pkg_add -r works too. You can install ports during pcbsd installation or portsnap fetch extract post install.

Should I have made this post in the x.org section of the forum? Or should the entire thread be moved there?

replacement input devices When I swapped input devices with my daughter, I first tried using usb to ps2 adapters for both the mouse and keyboard but the keyboard didn't seem to work well so I plugged them both into usb ports. The mouse shows up in /var/log/messages: Mar 22 12:02:30 pcbsd64...

The brand is iRocks. I noticed a driver available on this link. I will try to use it to set the mouse up on my daughter's linux machine. I haven't seen a windows box since I retired. Thanks for the tip, SirDice.

For the time being I have swapped out my wireless usb keyboard and mouse for wired ps2, uncommented the moused entries in /etc/rc.conf and all is well with my scroll-wheel. My daughter stands to inhereit my wireless usb devices which work well on her linux mint debian edition. Thank you both...

Yes I did, SirDice. It doesn't seem to be a broken scroll-wheel issue.
