Re: Setting up a FreeBSD gateway

By design dns servers will perform recursive queries through the root servers for all domains; unless you're hosting the zone then it considers itself authoritive. So you can set up a dns server for your network, or use a public one. Teo On 1/4/06, Brian Bobowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >

Unable to boot to internal or serial console

I read through serial communication section in the FreeBSD handbook this morning. I was able to configure the serial on one of my machines through the following steps: 1. Edit /etc/ttys a. ttyd0 "ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on insecure 2. Edit /boot/loader.rc b. In the very first line

Re: Start X hangs the computer

Have you installed the GeForce drivers? If not, you'll need to get them from the nvidia site and install them. They also just release a new utility that will adjust your xorg.conf file so that it's setup correctly to work with the Nvidia card. I believe the utility is called nvidia-xconfig. http

Re: KDE application menu blank

There is a menu update tool in the FreeBSD menu system. It will scan your system for new programs and prompt you to check off the ones you want to add to the menu. Teo On 12/21/05, Tim Goodaire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm running FreeBSD 6.0, and I'm having a problem with kde

Re: KDE How To ?

on a similar note, is it possible to create scripts that run after a user logs in. I'm setting up freeBSD as my home PC and I don't like to go right into KDE. However, I'd like startX to run when my wife logs in. Teo On 12/21/05, deej <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Boot the bugger up and just

Unable to upgrade kdenetwork using portupgrade

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 on my dektop with X.org and KDE 3.4. I'm synchronizing my ports tree using cvsup. When I run the following command portupgrade -rR kdenetwork It fails because it is unable to upgrade the kdelibs. The error messages says to run -F to force. What is the cons

Re: How do I name my network interface?

I have a similar problem with a DFI LanParty Ultra-D with two gigabit on-board NIC's. I DONT see any 'ethernet' subclass devices listed other than the one I have working. Is it simply not supported by the Kernel? The machine in question is dual-booting (with windows), so I can see that the driver

I'm getting ready to set up a single system as a mail, print, web, and file server. I may be installing other applications but nothing as intense as Xorg. If at all, I'll probably just install some network monitoring tools. I'm placing all of these roles on a single system because it is only for my
