Yes, it was libusb. After uninstalling, I still needed to clean up some cruft so hal would build, but now all is well. Thanks, jonsen.

I believe libusb is now in the base system. I uninstalled the libusb port, ran portmaster --check-depends and re-ran the install for hal, which still fails.

Normal ports update cycle and hal gives this: cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../.. -DPACKAGE_SYSCONF_DIR=\""/usr/local/etc"\" -DPACKAGE_DATA_DIR=\""/usr/local/share"\" -DPACKAGE_BIN_DIR=\""/usr/local/bin"\" -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\""/usr/local/share/locale"\" -DPACKAGE_LOCALSTATEDIR=\""/var"\"...

Lyx, while nice for a beginner, makes LaTeX that is hard to maintain. If you are working alone, it may work very well, but when several people are working on a doc and some of them work directly with the TeX doc, as experienced LaTeXers generally do, they will not be happy.

Yes, Allamgir, that's the one. It may not be perfect, but most everything you would want is there and it's easy to modify.

I use the AUCTeX plugin for vim and xpdf for viewing. Just press R to refresh after compiling a new file. No need to close and re-open.

texlive is not hard to download and install is one of the better, more complete variants you'll find.

It does not appear that your ports tree is up-to-date. Use portsnap to update the ports tree, and then try upgrading. Even better, install portmaster and use it to upgrade pidgin.

Yes, al7oot is right. The Yahoo problems existed as far as 2.5.7, but seem to be gone in 2.5.8.

I just click both buttons at once. Works fine.

Since upgrading to Firefox 3.5, I do not see Java in about:plugins. I have deinstalled and re-installed the javavmwrapper and deleted and re-made the link as listed in section 6.2.2 of the Handbook. Everything worked fine until upgrading to FF 3.5. [I made a link in ~/.mozilla/plugins...

Here's a couple ways pkg_delete pkg-name or just cd to the port directory and run make deinstall

I don't use hald with X. Your snippet solved my problem. Thank you.

The rest of that section of man page has Option "DontZap" "boolean" This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence. That sequence is normally used to terminate the Xorg server. When this option is enabled (as per default), that key sequence has no special meaning. Default: on...

Running x.org 7.4, fluxbox 1.1. I have Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection in my xorg.conf, but <ctrl><alt><bksp> no longer does anything. Up until a couple weeks ago I had used this to close down my Xsession. Unfortunately for me, I don't remember...

Thanks, that's helpful.

Since upgrading to 7.2_PRERELEASE, I am getting a new set of messages for the disk labels GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s1a is ufsid/4496f3f0e3d4e279. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s1d is ufsid/4496f3f398666995. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s1e is ufsid/4496f3f00fb8e962...

It was set to xterm, setting it to vt100 lost syntax coloring, cons25 is a winner, though. Thanks!

If I run Vim from the console and press an arrow key or H, J, K, L, the screen displays 25H or 25L. A few keypresses and the session is unusable. I assume it is a simple setting that's wrong, but cannot find what that might be. This does not happen in a terminal under X. What do I need to...
