8.2-RELEASE sysinstall creates duplicate rc.conf lines

Hi all, We recently discovered that sysinstall appears to be adding it's own lines to /etc/rc.conf which are duplicates of lines that we are inserting during builds. For example, on one of our hosts, we are adding "defaultrouter" and "ifconfig_em0" with certain network configurations. When we re

My IBM Thinkpad does that trick. But its some hardware-function and can be switched via special key + FN8. Maybe download the service or installation manual for your laptop and find some option? Maybe also something in the setup? Cheers herb langhans __

9.0-RELEASE: Strange freezing and kernel panics on laptop

Hi, I'm in need of advice. I've recently installed FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 1318) with a good deal of success. However, I've been experiencing a few hiccups, to say the least. The kernel is the GENERIC for the amd64 architecture that comes with the installation images

File manager for Xfce

A long time KDE3 user but now thinking of Xfce instead as KDE4 is not really my way of doing it. One of the things I've found productive in KDE is the Konqerour file manager, is there anything similar available as a separate app to run under Xfce? In particular, it should accept URI's like sftp:/

Well, I am not fully familiar with CARP, but if the different carp interfaces are used for different purpose (ftp, tftp, scp), is it a good idea to put down all of them, if they are able to serve their purpose? BTW, what is CARP preemption and how is it possible to enable it? Kind regards, Pet

How to prevent gam_server from running?

You can recompile all ports that depend on pcre so that they'll use the new shared library. You can do so with: # portmaster -r pcre-8.30 Ryan On 02/15/2012 08:42 PM, Antonio Olivares wrote: > Dear folks, > > I updated ports and one failed, gimp-app. I checked /usr/src/UPDATING > and I followe
