Thanks for the advice. I actually have a configuration file: https://github.com/dbb/githome/blob/master/.tmux.conf. I do have ^a as my prefix. Why would I need to unbind Ctrl+b if Ctrl+a is bound? And what exactly is send-prefix for? The manual's explanation isn't very helpful: "Send the prefix...

In my ongoing quest to run X11 on a PowerPC machine, I've encountered a new error, this time while trying to make glib: ===> dbus-glib-0.94 depends on shared library: glib-2.0.0 - not found ===> Verifying install for glib-2.0.0 in /usr/ports/devel/glib20 ===> Building for glib-2.28.8_4...

I did a clean install and couldn't reproduce those errors. I'm guessing my hard drive is bad.

I tried this, and just got the message "no sessions".

OpenSSH, but it seems this option is enabled by default: TCPKeepAlive Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one of the machines will be properly...

Ok, then why do the navigation keys still screw up on the host machine? The only other alternative (since I've already ruled out the shell) is the keyboard, so I will try to find another one to test on it. As for the client, it's a mixed system, with a 3.2 kernel. I can post specific package...

I am trying to build xorg-minimal. I am doing this via ssh, despite other problems for the convenience of having a graphical web browser in the meantime. Periodically, the ssh connection will spontaneously close after an extended period, with the incredibly vague message connection to (host)...

In a recent thread, I ran into several errors building ports because the file /usr/include/machine/endian.h was throwing a "bad file descriptor" error. I was able to download a working copy of the file from the source tree. I have now run into this exact same error with another file...

I found the file in the source tree here: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/powerpc/include/endian.h?revision=232745&view=markup I was able to replace the "bad" endian.h as follows: mv /usr/include/machine/endian.h /usr/include/machine/endian.h.orig curl -o /usr/include/machine/endian.h...

After rebooting, and cleaning the build directory, I was able to make some progress by getting a new error: ===> Building for gmake-3.82_1 make all-recursive Making all in glob cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/include -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -MT glob.o -MD -MP -MF...

It seems they are both already set to xterm. echo $TERM xterm ssh user@freebsd # snip echo $TERM xterm I've also noticed that the Home, End, and Page keys don't seem...

I checked the relevent documentation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html. First, it appears that there is no built package for either xorg or xorg-minimal available for PowerPC. So, I attempted to build it cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg make install clean...

Ok. What about the built package though? Why is only vim-lite available on the ftp server mentioned earlier? Does no package exist for powerpc, do I have the wrong server, is it missing, or something else?

On the Debian system, which I am physically using, I tried both the Linux console (i.e. tty0) and the terms mentioned. I simply ran the command ssh user@IP to connect to the FreeBSD machine, which is not running X at all. As for the configuration screen, I had just run make install clean from...

I am attempting to build vim on a PowerPC machine. cd /usr/ports/editors/vim sudo make install clean This is the output I get => 7.3.017 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/vim. => Attempting to fetch http://ftp.au.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/7.3.017 fetch...

I have a Debian system and a FreeBSD system. From the Debian system, I am connecting to the FreeBSD system via SSH. When I attempt to navigate a menu (such as the options brought up by make), my non-printing keys (arrows, pageup/down) do not work: http://i.imgur.com/5DQ5hE1.png. As you can see...

Something is very wrong. *make install tells me that it's already installed, and that I should deinstall it. *make deinstall tells me that it's not installed.

I recently installed the webfonts port, and after that pkg_add complains pkg_add: package webfonts-0.30_6 has no origin recorded pkg_add: package webfonts-0.30_6 has no origin recorded After extensive searching of this error message, the only "solution" I have found is a recommendation from...

Yes. It seems that the issue was how I used chsh. The first time, I ran it with no arguments, which spawned an editor where I entered the chagne manually (which led to the error). After resetting my shell to /bin/csh, I was able to log in. Then I ran chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh, and that worked...

After again booting into single-user mode and running vipw, I see that my changes made to the file using regular vi had stuck. I edited root's shell to csh, and rebooted. After this I was able to log in as root and reset the password. However, I still don't understand why my regular user cannot...
