    Notebook becomes too hot while running in X mode

    Hi, I've recently noticed that my notebook's fan becomes too noisy and the surface near the radiator becomes hot in several minutes after launching X server with Gnome 2. It remains hot even if I'm not doing anything and even if the lid is closed. In experimental purposes right after that...

    Libreoffice has been built of wrong version (3.4.4)

    I've found the reason, libreoffice was said to be built only from packages in pkgtools.conf: USE_PKGS_ONLY = [ 'editors/*libreoffice*', ] I put it there some time ago and totally forgot. :) That's why it was picking up the latest available build.

    Spontaneous reboots and hangs, how to investigate?

    Hi, I'm experiencing rare reboots or hangs of FreeBSD 9.0 system. As to hangs this usually happens when I interact with net-im/skype either launching it from Gnome menu or closing chat window. I'm not confident whether it's skype's fault. In my case, by saying 'the system hangs' I mean that...

    Libreoffice has been built of wrong version (3.4.4)

    I doubt, I always do portsdb -Fu after csup. Nevertheless: devel-pc# cat /usr/ports/editors/libreoffice/distinfo | head -1 SHA256 (libreoffice/libreoffice-core-3.5.2.2.tar.xz) = df681145f7f1dda30e3f82d4924722957662d744df0e7b6fa024b2bd53fb3dc6 Am I on the same page?

    What is the best way to back up the system when upgrading the packages ?

    Hi everyone. I've recently rebuilt all the ports twice because I was trying to upgrade all my packages and got different conflicts around missing libraries and so on. I was mixing installation approaches (via ports/packages) that's why this is what I ended up with. I was trying to solve them...

    How is monitor brightness controlled?

    Thanks for reply, I've done what you had advised but it does not work. The problem is that there is no Dell specific ACPI module for FreeBSD. Loading acpi_video does not add any brigthness related system variables which I could alter via sysctl. For example: devel-pc# sysctl -a | grep lcd...

    Do I need to upgrade the dependencies of a single port to upgrading it properly ?

    Would I achieve the same result If ran simply portupgrade <port> against every dependency manually? And would the sequence of this actions matter?

    Do I need to upgrade the dependencies of a single port to upgrading it properly ?

    Hi guys, Please help me to understand because I don't know how it works behind the scenes. What if I want to upgrade a single port, should I upgrade the dependencies as well or not?
