No, you don't need java to run OpenOffice. Honestly, with a single core machine I would wait until the vms and tty subsystems are GIANT free before leaving the 6.x branch. 7.1 runs much better than 7.0 on my P4, but it does not equal the 6.x branch in my opinion. It's a whole different story on...

It appears you have to install OOo for 6.4. You either have to compile it yourself or get the package from somewhere else.

You also need to know that until the module is unloaded you cannot be certain that all data has actually been written to the disk. Therefore you should add some things to your rc.conf:fusefs_enable="YES" fusefs_safe="YES" fusefs_safe_evil="YES" The first line will load the kernel module upon...

The .sh is actually dangerous. Don't do that (See rc.subr). You simply need to add the executable flag to your script: +x.

This is a locking problem, with the GIANT lock wrecking havoc upon the fine grained locks introduced with 7.0. Update to 7.1 and it will get much better.

I always start dosbox and the games I want to run from therein.

I suppose that tool tries to safe the whole available memory space.

There's no automatic dependency tracking this way. The only comfortable way for using packages I know about is portupgrade -P.

I've heard about that more than once. Maybe the hald port does the account creation in the make file and not in an install script, so that it breaks as a package.

I think there's something wrong in your make.conf or in your environment. Can you show us the contents of your make.conf and the output of the printenv command?

WTF? Almost any application displays something. Browsers, mail clients, terminals... that's done by the video card, too.

I have this script which I use for creating start scripts for wine programs. It handles the mounting of ISO images and has some hooks to include own code. #!/bin/sh # # winexec # # This script handles running programs with wine that require images to be # mounted. Simply populate the required...

I'd bet on it being a KDE problem. Maybe post your ~/.xsession-errors file here. That might be useful.

That does sound rather strange. I'd go into single user mode and fsck the file system before I did anything else.

I would expect KDE not to work for a different reason. By the way, it's a rare case that you need a mode line at all. If it shows up in your Xorg.0.log you certainly do not need it. However, if you want a proper mode line you better take your search engine of choice, your monitor specs and...

In deed it is a major catastrophe under 7.x, because it breaks the new fine grained locking. Just look how easy it is to lock the whole system with file system operations in 7.0. On 7.0 I couldn't even play music on a single core machine, because every single file access caused an interruption.

I find the ports stats very interesting. Unfortunately they've been broken for a long time and still are.

You're welcome.

I'm just wondering. How do you scroll through your contact list that way? What if there are 50 instead of 15 people in your list online?

Did any one mention that the NVidia driver runs under the GIANT lock. This is a major catastrophe under 7.x.
