    [PC-BSD] Cannot update: virtually empty disk supposedly full?

    When using the Update Manager GUI tool in PC BSD 9.0 (based on FreeBSD) I get the following message. Failed to install:BugFix: Adds complete foomatic set, 8000+ new printer drivers Possible causes: Dropped internet connection or low disk space. I don't see how it can be the internet...

    Dwell click (hover click, auto click) for XFCE?

    Dwell click works well for me. If nobody on the mailing list responds it would likely be better to try to install a dwell click program using the Linux emulator. Not sure if that would work though.

    Dwell click (hover click, auto click) for XFCE?

    I think that will only affect the file manager. What about all the other applications?

    Dwell click (hover click, auto click) for XFCE?

    Is there a dwell click program for XFCE or do I need to use a different desktop? I have RSI (repetitive stress injury) and I can't use a computer for long without dwell click (also known as hover click or auto click) unless I go strictly command-line, which kind of eliminates Web browsing...

    [PC-BSD] Computer hangs when booting off DVD

    I finally got into my BIOS and changed the mode for the DVD drive's port to IDE and now it got past the problem I was having (seems to hang again later but likely for an unrelated reason). Thanks.

    Can't change BIOS settings... boots too fast

    I was pressing the key repeatedly from the instant I turned the computer on but that wasn't working. But holding it down did work. I also unplugged the keyboard from the KVM switch and put it directly into the USB port but I don't think that mattered (might matter for the rest of my install...

    Can't change BIOS settings... boots too fast

    I am trying to change (or at least look at) the settings in my BIOS but it boots so fast I can't get into the BIOS. I rebooted my computer about 20 times, and each time I rapidly pressed Del (which is supposed to get me into the BIOS) over and over as fast as I could and I could not get into...

    [PC-BSD] Computer hangs when booting off DVD

    I put in my PC-BSD 9.0 x64 (which is supposed to be based on FreeBSD) install DVD disk and booted my computer and it hangs (a progress spinner just keeps spinning and spinning ...) with the following message on the screen: Loading Operating System ... CD Loader 1.2. Building the boot loader...

    FreeBSD 9.0 BOOT DISK FAILURE

    "The HDD may have worked for a while but then stopped working... " I bought a new HDD (actually a SSD) and all is fine. I suspect that it got a shock that killed it while I was connecting it to a different SATA port or cable to test my ports and cables. I shut the computer off but forgot to...

    FreeBSD 9.0 BOOT DISK FAILURE

    I installed FreeBSD 9.0 AMD 64-bit today (my first time ever using FreeBSD) and the install seemed to work, i.e. I got no errors during the install and created one user account and a root account. I was able to login as root after the install (but not as the non-root user). The problem is...
