Mozilla 1.2.1: No running window found

2003-01-29 Thread William Palfreman
I've just used portupgrade to upgrade from mozilla 1.0 to 1.2.1. This is what I get: $ mozilla No running window found. Segmentation fault This is on 4.6.2-p6 on a k6-2 with 512Mb of ram (and compiled with k6 optimisations). Is this my fault (or a minor fault to do with my setup) or is the port

Hi. I was comparing the /usr/src/UPDATING file on RELENG_4_5, 4_6 and 4_7, and I noticed that there is a fix for a tar bug in the 4.7 pX releases, but not in 4.6.2-pX and 4.5-pX. 4.5: (also 4.6.2 p3) 20021023: p21 FreeBSD-SA-02:40.kadmind Correct kadmind buffer overflow. 4.7:

Broken X/Development environment

2003-02-08 Thread William Palfreman
I think I've broken my X Development environment. Nothing X seems to compile on this 4.6.2-p6 machine anymore, as far as I can tell, although non-X things like Apache seem to compile without issue. I tried to install AfterStep recently, and that failed. It even fails with xsnow. I have another

Running X-clients on remote hosts.

How can I allow Xfree86 to listen for network connections again? I certainly used to have no problem doing this, and I don't see anything about this specific and probably very simple problem in the handbook or googling. I'm running an X server on my workstation (Xfree86 4.1) on my workstation (Fr

Upgrading without console access

2003-02-25 Thread William Palfreman
Sometimes it just isn't convenient to have console access to a machine. Adding a modem increases the cost of what a customer sees as a black box, and asking then to plug a telephone in every major security breach is awkward, compared to going in via ssh and just fixing it. Nor is it always conveni

pkg-comment all gone...

Not that I've got anything against it or anything, but I've noticed that recent ports tree cvsups have wiped out most of the pkg-comment files. When did this policy change happen, because I can't see anything about it from googling? No criticism though: I always found pkg-descr much more useful.
