Re: Vivaldi Tablet

[Open Slate]

Jumping in a bit late. I have had a goal of FreeBSD on a slate/tablet
computer for roughly ten years. The comments in this thread echo my
experience. Put simply, the primary focus of FreeBSD has been as a server.
The Gnome team has worked hard to bring the OS to the desktop, with limited
success.

There are many things required before my slate concept can be realized.

o power management
o pen digitizer interface
o HWR
o pen friendly UI comparable to Newton OS
o components that support a self-made (maker) approach to the hardware

I still hold on to my goal. No telling when enough people will get
interested.

Re: Vivaldi Tablet

[Open Slate]

I position a tablet as a consumer device. Web surfing, watching video, a
little texting. A student slate must support creativity, especially
writing. At the same time I see the qwerty keyboard as an obstacle, hard to
learn, impossible to use while holding the slate. I want HWR as good as the
Newton, and buttons for a chording keyboard along the bottom on both sides.
Buttons support two handed use or one handed, either side. For those who
prefer classic keyboard, plug in a USB model.

So much of what I want just isn't there. But it is possible.

Thank you for excellent support

[Open Slate]

Recently the address I have used for years to post here stopped working.
After several pleas for help some nice list owner forwarded by mail to the
postmaster, who spent a lot of time tracking down the problem. My ISP has
been bought and sold several times, so that my address no longer passes the
test for validity. So now I am using a new gmail account.

This is the kind of service that is all too often lacking these days. Thank
you, whoever you were, for doing such a great job. Makes me proud to be
associated with FreeBSD ... have been since 2.x.

Enlightenment tips and tricks

[Open Slate]

After using Gnome for awhile I am giving Enlightenment a try. Loved it many
years ago but it consumed a lot of resources, the current version does not
appear to have that limitation.

What other ports do Enlightenment fans recommend to extend its
functionality? I have the gimp, Abi Word, Lyx, and Bluefish. I do like
Gnumenric, but doesn't that pull in a lot of Gnome? (i already have Gnome
but want to do over without it.) I am not a heavy spreadsheet power-user,
maybe I should stick with Google Docs, which I do use?

Favorite mail clients? I used to use sylpheed, does it play well with
Enlightenment?

Favorite web browser, again looking for integration, the way Epiphany fits
in with Gnome.

System administration tools?

Notebook computer stuff, especially power management, at least as much as
Gnome has. Monitoring tools, at least.

A replacement for gdm that is more like Enlightenment than xdm is, as I
recall.

Enlightenment icon path

[Open Slate]

I have installed Enlightenment after Gnome.  My etc/rc.conf is now

moused_enable="YES"
mouse_type="AUTO"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
#gnome_enable="YES"

I have installed the xdm port and my ~/.xsession is

/usr/local/bin/enlightenment_start

I still use some Gnome apps. Gedit menus display all icons, Epiphany
web browser. does not. For example, on File menu, Open, Save As, Print
Preview, Print, and Close have icons to the left of the command. New
Tab, New Window, Page Setup, and Send Link by Email have the red X "no
image" icon. These all work in Gnome. Is there a path I need to set?

Enlightenment "Power Off" on system menu

[Open Slate]

My Enlightenment system menu has some useful commands disabled. Is
there a way to selectively enable them?

Enabled:
  Lock
  Log Out
  Cancel

Disabled:
  Power Off
  Suspend
  Reboot
  Hibernate

I want to enable Power Off and Reboot. I have never had any luck
getting FreeBSD to suspend, much less hibernate, so I am happy to
leave those disabled. I am trying to use xdm rather than gdm or kdm,
and lacking Power Off and Reboot on the system menu makes these tasks
awkward.

Enlightenment cpufreq gadget broken display

I added the cpugreq gadget to my shelf. It appears to be an analog
tachometer but the only data displayed is digital, just below the
center of where the tach needle should be. And the font makes to
number too small to be useful, even on the desktop. Anybody have a
working cpufreq gadget? The one in gnome work just fine.

Re: which ports require dialog during update

[Open Slate]

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I use the batch flag to bypass
configuration menus. If you have one or two ports you do not install with
default settings, you can go back and install manually.

On Oct 20, 2011 9:54 PM, "Paul Macdonald"  wrote:


Hi,

Is there a way to tell which ports might require dialog input during update,

i have some auto update scripts which when prompted will run through
updates, but occassionally i forget which will require user input and this
leads to dialog running ( often @ 100%) until i notice.

Obviously i only do this for what i'd consider to be trivial updates and it
makes things a lot quicker when you have a lot of boxes to do!

I had initialy thought that checking for make targets might be an idea, the
lack of a config target for example.

On one box which does have a config/options target, i see options come up
via dialog.

/usr/ports/security/p5-IO-**Socket-SSL
   brings up the config options for this port, both unchecked

[ ] IDN   International Domain Names (IDN) support   x x
[ ] IPV6  IPv6 support

on another box there's no dialog from either an update via portupgarde or
via a direct make in the port dir  ( make config is the same on both and
does bring up the dialog)

the Makefiles are identical both in the ports dir and in the work dir, both
systems are 8.2-REL.

Can i programmatically tell if user input is required?

thanks
Paul.

Got an answer, trying some themes. Apparently this gadget is digital
by design, the default theme gives it an analog looking background.
Icon dock (shelf) looks better with increase height.

Three button mouse emulation

[Open Slate]

A simple way to enable three button mouse emulation is to put

mouse_flags=-3

in /etc/rc.conf. I cannot find this documented anywhere. Section 4.5 of the
faq mentions this feature and refers to the moused man page, where we are
told to pass -3 to moused. Similar treatment in the handbook. Section
2.10.10. Only a seasoned veteran would think to look in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf.

This trick is especially useful to laptop users and should be in the
handbook.

Re: Can't fetch boost-jam

[Open Slate]

Apparently my employer blocks sourceforge. If the FreeBSD site would
upgrade their distfiles this port, and I suspect a few more, would update
just fine. I may have to give up running FreeBSD at work.

Re: OFF TOPIC -- Latex Question

[Open Slate]

Latex can do what you describe but you would need to create or locate a
different document class. The standard classes that ship with (most)
versions of Latex are for academic journals, books, and letters. You are
more likely to get your question answered on a Latex specific forum or
mailing list. Finally, in case you have not already tried it, I highly
recommend using Lyx to create Latex documents.

If you are in a rush you can use the \section* command to enter your
article headings and the \subsection* command for your section headings.
The trailing asterisk suppresses automatic numbering, so you will need to
add your own. Much nicer to use automatic numbering.

Re: OFF TOPIC -- Latex Question

[Open Slate]

This sort of worked for me, but still had problems. 1) my Latex starts
chapters on a new page, which may or may not fit the bill. 2) In Lyx the
chapter command wants a title; I could not get just Article I. I'm sure
both of these are fixable, Latex can do virtually anything.

Re: A quality operating system

[Open Slate Project]

Perhaps you would be happier at an Apple Store. 

I lost you at documentation. Obviously you have not read the handbook, or one 
of the excellent books -- Absolute BSD for example.

Well, it's Linux's evdev, which is roughly similar to devd(8). Likely 
that can be ignored on FreeBSD by just using another InputDevice 
section. Beyond that, it might require input from the freebsd-x11 list 
and possibly also the freebsd-usb list. If the components are there, it 
may be as simple as an x11-drivers/xf86-input-fujitsu-usb-touchscreen 
port. Maybe one of the existing drivers there is for a relatively 
similar USB touchscreen?


Great tip. I had no idea those drivers were there. I will check them and if I 
need more help I'll ask one of the groups you mentioned.

Thanks again!

Bluetooth DUN tun0 IP setting

[Open Slate Project]

Freebsd 8.0-RELEASE-p2.
Fujitsu Lifebook T1010.
T-Mobile myTouch 3G slide.
Android 2.1.
PDA Net tether app.

I get to where I can run rfcomm -a ... and PDA Net on phone responds that it is 
running, shows byte count, but a few seconds my console displays error.

tun0: Error: ipcp_InterfaceUp: unable to set ip address. 

The tun0 appears in ifconfig /all but with no tcp/ip settings.

In Windows 7 the tunnel interface gets 192.168.9.2, work gateway and dhcp at 
9.1.

I suspect /etc/ppp/ppp.conf network settings, on the 10.10.0 network.
