Hello, I installed a complete fresh FreeBSD 9.1 and updated to FreeBSD-9.1-p3. I've got the FreeBSD sources with csvup (RELENG_9_1), then I built a custom kernel with ALTQ support and configured pf. After all I installed ezjails from the ports and build ezjail with ezjail-admin update -b -p...

Thank you yom and zodias. I can now read and input Polish letters in the terminal, before logging in! :) I've added the following code to my /etc/rc.conf font8x14=”iso02-8x14″ font8x16=”iso02-8x16″ font8x8=”iso02-8x8″ keymap=”pl_PL.ISO8859-2 I can also read and input the...

Hi, probably most of you know this tip, and it is nothing special or new, but because it is really useful, I decided to write about it. Sometimes we need to reboot/reload system, because of various causes. There is a possibility to do it much faster than typical restarting. I think, that...

I've built a new system: Gigabyte X58A-UDR3 motherboard i7 980X CPU 24 GB RAM XFXforce Radeon 5870 video card I-INC 28" 1920x1200 LCD monitor 1KW CoolerMaster power supply Drives: ad0 - 2TB partitioned for FreeBSD-stable, FreeBSD-current, Linux ad4 - 1TB winDoze 7 (yuk!) tried in previous...

Solved the problem. My login manager was setting an LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Booting into console mode and installing the port did the trick.

When I try to enable either XDM or SLiM in /etc/ttys, they will bring up the display manager at boot but it is impossible to log in; when I log in I get a black screen for a few seconds and then it goes back to the login screen. I'm guessing this is due to some sort of configuration problem, but...

Having recently migrated my R500 thinkpad from Gentoo Linux to FreeBSD, I have still some issues left which I cannot solve without help. I use XFCE as window-manager, SLIM as graphical login, xfce-powermanager and gnome-screensaver. I suspend my laptop to RAM via hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3...

LDAP clients fail to connect with SSL enabled I am attempting to setup SSL/TLS support on my openLDAP 2.4 server on FreeBSD. LBSD2# pkg_info | grep openldap openldap-sasl-client-2.4.23 Open source LDAP client implementation with SASL2 support openldap-sasl-server-2.4.23 Open source LDAP...

If you want to do it from the console it's as simple as setting up a .xinitrc and typing startx. If you want to run slim or some other login manager there is a gui menu for which desktop or wm you would like to run.

Hello, Well unfortunately in my attempt to upgrade some components on my FreeBSD 8.1 box login was totally busted. If you tried to log into the box either via ssh or locally it would compplain that lilnintl.8.so was not present. So I decided to reinstall and have as of yet been unsuccessful...

hi, i've installed freebsd from pcbsd dvd without boot manager. plan to add 2 more system and use grub boot manager for all. during install i got error /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libQtGui.so.4" not found, required by "PBItext" here is my install log from 2nd attempt- Running...

I recently set up a dual boot system with Windows 7 and FreeBSD 8. I got my FreeBSD pretty screwed up by installing KDE 4.3 and setting it is the default login manager without adding the correct entries to the /etc/rc.conf and xorg.conf (I don't know exactly where it is) to let KDE take mouse...

partially solved Hello all, 1) I still can't use clipboard sharing and drag & drop feature 2) now I can power off the FreeBSD, below is what I do: - edit kdmrc to enable root login - lotout and login kde as root - go to setting->system setting->login manager (may need to click...

Hrm, I have KDE4, XFCE4 and WindowMaker working on -STABLE fairly well in the same machine, all added through packages. There are well documented ways to add up DE's and setting up startx or a login manager. From my experience, users coming from linux need to set aside for a lil' bit their...

yes i do. i have that, i tried setting up the host name which didn't help, and i made it so my username can mount removable media. i can't login to gnome though unless i do a fresh install and get into gnome by typing gdm from whatever that default windows manager is. the default gnome...

Part 4 - Part 4 - 11. Installing X.org Install the X.org meta-port: x11/xorg Wait until the port is fetched and installed! Test X.org launches (it should without no xorg.conf), issue: startx Then switch back to the vTTY from where X was started (ctrl+alt+F*) and stop X.org it by...

This is unlikely to work on a default install. Switching to Administrator Mode will return an error. Instead, root will have to modify the kdmrc file in/usr/local/share/config/kdm by removing the # in front of the AutoLoginEnable=true variable (at line 535), and set the user name to be...

Hi, How do you set kdm as your login manager? I guess making an entry in /etc/ttys will do the trick. ttyv8 "/usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure Are there any other gotchas? I don't exactly remember the error but I got stuck when I tried this. Will post the output...

He said he didn't want to use startx, though. Setting up a login manager seems more "automatic". :)

I recently installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my laptop. This computer was running 7.0 without incident and with normal X behavior. Under 7.1, though, starting KDE or Gnome makes the computer almost unusable--the menu fonts are several inches tall and only a singe menu item is visible at a time (for...
