In case anyone needs a tray sound control knob, here one made by a friend of mine. https://github.com/svagner/gtmixer There's no port available yet, but maybe we'll make it sometime. ps: Written for GTK+. Tested with openbox+tint combo. Provides volume and equalizer controls.

The error was likely caused by troubles with internet access via proxy. The message is misleading though.

Cheers, sysadmin people! :beer

I've got this error while doing pkg search. pkg: Repo remote (schema version 12) is too old - need at least schema 2000 My repo is set to PACKAGESITE=http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/freebsd-9-amd64/latest Am I doing something wrong?

Having the same issue. UPD: It seems you really have to get openjdk installed (not the diablo-jdk) prior to icedtea-web.

There's a big red warning about using GPT scheme and geom mirroring in Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-mirror.html I've found a workaround by Michael W. Lukas (couldn't find the working link though) - create separate geom mirror device for each slice. Awful bug. I hope it...

Btw, truss shows no signs of vfork, a usual fork is called.

Ok, it's a theme for another topic already. :) The 'root' process is a child, we can see it in "ps -j" output. But what tools should we use in FreeBSD to determine shared memory allocations (ipcs is for sysV only)? DTrace is the only thing that comes to my mind. Ideas? Thanks, I'm aware of...

Ok, but how can you determine it's shared? Some "ps" wizardry? ;)

You mean it's a shared memory?

Hi, folks! When each new urxvt starts it opens two processes - one of current user id and the other with root id. Is it that really necessary to consume twice the memory? I suppose this behavior implements some features which require root privileges, i.e making login records. Any hints to...

Enough said. But I'd like to mention that every modern OS sucks in it's own way ;) You guys can't imagine what troubles we've had with recent upgrades of Solaris 10 on Oracle midrange platforms. The hardware and software QA is below any reasonable level (with their price tags and enterprise...

Besides aforementioned stock programs there are plenty of options in ports/sysutils or ports/misc. Also there's good old tar :)

Did you check pflog?

I have never noticed any problems with default (text) sc mode.

Did you try using Xorg mouse driver and disable moused (with or w/o hal), just to localize the source of a problem?

Maybe you could try to increase the verbosity of Xorg logs and check for anything suspicious. ps.: btw, do you use moused?

Broken mouse? ;)

Thanks, I see now it would be easy to modify the procedure and make it check the iso image before trying to fetch anything.

Also it seems that scripts/init.sh using old naming scheme when fetching iso images, so it fails when I tried to run initial build for 8.1-RELEASE: >./scripts/init.sh i386 8.1-RELEASE Fri Mar 4 11:47:53 MSK 2011 Starting fetch for FreeBSD/i386 8.1-RELEASE fetch...
