Trying to port fswm (full screen window manager from https://github.com/pbizopoulos/fswm) and other XCB window managers and programs. I got through many steps, but get errors after a successful make stage. It fails on make install. The previous error of pkg-static: Unable to access file...

I heard that Xorg is no longer being developed and will eventually be discontinued in favor of the newfangled Wayland. Whether I use FreeBSD or Gentoo, I usually install xorg + tiling wm (awesome or xmonad). Both of them (awsome and xmonad) won't work on Wayland. Don't care about Gentoo, I...

I want to add Nextaw (x11-toolkits/neXtaw) options to applications that use Xaw (x11-toolkits/libXaw) in ports. I've thought about working on adding port customizations since starting the thread athena-xaw-implementations.81588. To start with, I learned a lot about adjusting Makefiles by using...

XCB (X-protocol C-language binding) was intended to fully replace Xlib for X11: so far, XCB has gradually replaced some parts of it. Its purpose was to be more efficient and to be easier to program. X11 is a protocol. Xlib and XCB are both API's and library sets. Xlib (also called libX11) is...

After sudo pkg install bspwm, bspwm said it's configure file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bspwm/bspwmrc, but I found XDG_CONFIG_HOME enviroment variable is null. How to fixed it? What is XDG_CONFIG_HOME?

Is it possible to have a Gnome-Free Desktop? Suppose you have a non-Gnome desktop (i3, KDE, etc). Is there any specific program in Gnome project that has no usable alternative in other projects e.g. KDE. What about GTK? For example is there enough Qt-based applications out there, to be able to...

Hey guys, I know there is already a FreeBSD port for Lemonbar, however it does not support xft fonts. I'd like to get support (most likely through the githubfork here: https://github.com/drscream/lemonbar-xft). However, I keep getting errors like the one down the bottom when trying to compile...

The recent update of the qt5* ports puzzled some things, could not update cause of net/qt5-networking is broken with security/libressl. I reverted the partial update. After this I got the error. Problem with multimedia/vlc and graphics/xpdf (maybe, with some more). How to fix?

Hi! There is this very nice bar called Polybar. It currently does not build in FreeBSD but someone already gave some HINTS on how to make it possible: Adding an #ifdef _FreeBSD_ for sys/endian.h statement. Disabling -Werror and pedantic errors, I guess the author uses gcc and clang has...

Hi, how do I install the lemonbar xft in FBSD

Not sure if this is a configuration issue, or if there is legitimately something wrong. 1) Installed Xorg no problems. Default window manager boots and works as intended. 2) Built awesome window manager. No errors on build. 3) Configured .xinitrc as such: xterm & exec awesome 4) Run...

So I've recently installed FreeBSD. I'm currently running kernel 10.2-RELEASE-p9 with userland 10.2-RELEASE-p13. This is the amd64 version. Anyway, I've recently installed the Nvidia drivers from Nvidia's website due to the ones available from pkg being pretty outdated. The driver works fine...

EDIT: i I changed #! /bin/sh to /usr/bin/env tcsh this is my second day with free bsd FreeBSD, I installed it yesterday but I didn't know it has tcsh instead of bash, I don't know if this did the trick but now x11-wm/bspwm works as it should. Hi, I installed bspwm but the problem is that I...

Having seen this presentation at 30C3 a/o 2014/12/29 I made my mind not touching xorg anymore until the situation has gotten better. This was expected to be midyear 2014. Although I could not find any information about the state of cleaning up the xorg server mess. Does someone have more...

Hi, My version of FreeBSD 9.2 stopped running X and gnome2 recently. Instead of displaying the login dialog it now displays a command-line login prompt. And when I type startx I get the following error: Shared object "libxcb.so.2" not found, required by "libXmuu.so.1" Searching for this...

Over the last few weeks I've been slowly migrating my users off Linux and to FreeBSD and the install always went down the same route: 1. boot from the DVD, install including sources tree. 2. Change pkg repository to release/0, run pkg and install xorg and gnome2. Today I am working from home...
