Search results for query: login manager setting

hey folks, I've got a 12.2 box which I've configured to authenticate against LDAP. I am able to log in on the console and via ssh. However, every time I have to authenticate (ssh, su -, login, sudo) it takes at least 30 seconds. getent passed takes about a second. The client and server are...

See, one particularly bad thing about the internet is, that it does not forget. The result is that when you search for guidance about a thing (even more so if said thing has existed for so long) you will come across a great amount of outdated information that has been valid at some point in...

Hmm, the code did not work as expected. The aliases and language is now in XFCE, but exec $1 did nothing. I had to put exec startxfce4 in .xinitrc for slim to work. I don't know why because the session file is in the correct place. No proble until I install another window manager and want to...

That worked! Thank You! My SDDM is back in life again :) Agree, it is good to read post-install messages, but upgrading with something like portupgrade --batch -R '*' takes some time and I am not sitting behind the screen. P.S. I must confess, that x11/xauth was also needed. It worked...

I am unsure if this will help but in the absence of other more erudite ideas I will tell you that I have an Asus A68HM and I cannot get xorg to function unless i use the vesa driver of 12.1. xorg -configure will set 'modsetting' automatically as driver. My solution works for my Asus with every...

Hey everyone! Installed FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE updated and I have tried so many different combinations of configurations and packages to try and get X launched. Currently I have the following added to my /etc/rc.conf: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" I...

That might be my problem too. I wondered if a power disruption caused it, a ports upgrade or if I changed something on accident. I did update my base system, and I can't log in to my window manager through xdm. (I can log in to the console.) .xsession-errors says permission denied, even after I...

I have dwm set up, but one thing that has got me baffled is using feh to set the wallpaper In my i3wm config i start feh using exec --no-startup-id ~/.fehbg which then runs this script #!/bin/sh feh --no-fehbg --bg-center --image-bg '#002b36' '/home/djwilcox/.wallpaper/freebsd.png' I dont...

By the way, I decided to try the image with version 11.2. Recorded by command dd if=FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-arm-armv7-CUBIEBOARD2.img of=$1 bs=1M status=progress conv=sync. It turned out even better than last time, but, alas, this is also very far from success. U-Boot SPL 2019.07 (Nov 01 2019 -...

I have a strange issue and I have turned my system upside down trying to resolve it with no luck I am using plasma5 on my haswell laptop, with drm-kmod and i915 I suddenly have a strange issue.. my down arrow is opening my start menu/application launcher.. this is especially disruptive as the...

Thanks. You're right. I'm very bad at X and I didn't notice the keymap got back to the default because XFCE4 seems to have setup a correct keyboard layout for me (through my locale setting?). After reading your comment, I checked the login manager screen (where XFCE4 didn't start yet) and found...

I don't think it's xorg going wrong, startX doesn't give any errors, this is the sddm output (in a pastebin): https://pastebin.com/f0uuUBK4

Hey man, I'm trying to take it step by step! I am in the wheel group, and this happens even if I remove the .Xauthority file. The thing is the socket message that I don't get above, what should be my next step in fixing the issue? EDIT: startX seems to run fine, it seems to be a problem with...

If you have used startx as root, from within your user's home directory, then (if I recall correctly) .Xauthority and maybe other files, too, will be owned by root. You won't be able to start Xorg as normal user, before you correct that. rm or chmod those files. Another problem could be...

/etc/profile is read by bourne shells when executed as a login shell. A session started by a display manager will typically be a bourne shell script, so /etc/profile is sourced and a good place to set some environment. Of course, if your user's shell is a bourne shell, you will have LANG set...

Some more problem and bogus: I do not know if a construct like C.UTF-8 is in any way legal. I doubt it - there is either simply C, or there is some country with UTF-8 - and if you don't want the country, you can always use en_US.UTF-8. Setting LANG (or in login.conf :lang) has some side-effects...

Martin, Sincere thanks for the link, I will re-read it again later today. But my question is also - why do USB installs for 11.2 do an initial boot at 1920x1080 and 12.0 start at 800x600 on the same hardware? and as I recall, running xrandr on 12.0 shows only 800x600 is available...

You can alternatively do it in one (no warranty) command line: sh deploy-freebsd.sh https://github.com/spartrekus/deploy-FreeBSD/blob/master/deploy-freebsd.sh Your method looks in similar direction, with unpacking the content of archives. ;)

I think there is a common place that is read by the display manager and it can be configured also per user. I use KDE. For me the most practical way so far has been: - use xrandr and configure the displays how I like them - open the "Monitors" settings page in KDE and change something small...

I have recently started using CDE and as someone that never used it back in the 90s I really enjoy the classic look of it. Here are some tips and tricks for setting up CDE that I have gathered from various sources online and from my own tinkering. If any non-FreeBSD users are reading this...
