I'm going to answer in reverse! > Well, you see, at this point in time, I'm in trouble solving mode. Do you have a spare HDD? Even old, out-dated or temporarily borrowed? Just hit that spare HDD with 10.1, linux-c6 and whatever else as trial. Why? Because, * new_xorg is now default in ports (you probably have old xorg) * many previous make.conf settings are now out-dated and you need to review /usr/ports/Mk/*. Sorry, just part of life. * why www/linux-firefox instead of just plain www/firefox? Your question is by default based on the perspective of older ports incompatibility work-arounds. * desktop users must keep their systems much more current than server systems, because the graphics environment improves at a much faster pace than server-side.

Your description is mostly true. pkgng is now the norm and portupgrade/portmaster run into problems with higher versions. If you take the leap to >10, make sure you understand pkgng repos or/and poudriere. > tingo@kg-core1$ linux-firefox -safe-mode > firefox: Fatal IO error 12 (Cannot allocate memory) on X server :0.0. > > I really don't know why it complains about memory; this machine has 32 > GB RAM, and currently only 12.6 GB is used. Had a similar (?) mmeory problem with all mozilla-based ports (but non linux-*): http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/shmget-No-space-left-on-device-issue-with-firefox-td5938162.html The problem is cleared now and although not working perfectly, at least I have some measure of sanity. The solution had nothing to do with memory, it was a ports issue. If a certified idiot like me has it working on 11, you can probably feel confident about trying on 10.1 The forums are active again, so I'll see you around... ----- FreeBSD-11-current_amd64_root-on-zfs_RadeonKMS -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/www-linux-firefox-package-doesn-t-work-tp5958723p5959040.html Sent from the freebsd-ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
