Re: Alpha5 testing (10152009) 1of2

If i suppose correctly,  lines with
'cardname_config="DHCP" ' are added to rc.conf and network cand taskbar icon are created only during installation; when i add new card i have to add line to rc.conf manually. I know that this is not very important, but if someday pcbsd liveDVD will emerge, this problem will be more important. By the way - i have problems with 7.1.1 and Atheros F1 10/100/1000 PHY network card taskbar icon - i don't know why but i have to add "ale0_config="" to rc.conf manually.

Hi. Test results: 1. display setup wizard on geforce2 pro sugest "185.*" driver which didn't work; "nv" works properly.
This'll be fixed in the next alpha, updated the display setup wizard to now read the list of older nvidia graphics cards, and suggest the right driver for them.
2. UniChrome graphics driver works only in x32 version; at x64 it's not working
:( Sorry to hear that, maybe file a bug with freebsd send-pr?
3. k3b crash on x32 and x64 (error message says about DCOP)
Fixed in SVN! When K3B rebuilds it should be taken care of.
4. when i plug in pendrive, mount it and unplug couple of times, it stops being visible.
I seem to recall hearing thats an issue in FreeBSD's 8.0 stack at the moment. Hopefully it gets fixed before 8.0-Release comes out :)
5. about software manager - good idea, but it will be nicer if it will include ports manager too.
Haha, I agree, the question is who writes it, my hands are pretty full :)
6. about network and changing hardware configuration - system mostly detect sound card and other devices, but it will be more usefull if system will automatically add network card configuration at /etc/rc.conf (simple 'cardname_config="DHCP" ' will be enough, i can live without taskbar icon - but i will be cool have it too).
Humm, this should work by default, what cardname does your nic show up as?
7. pbi's work fine on x32 (exept k3b) - but none of them was installed with system ( i have to install all of them manually).
We'll start uploading PBIs for 8.0 to pbidir once FreeBSD 8.0 releases and we build them in an 8.0 base. At that point we'll include them on the DVD as well.

question about ports

Now that we have Ports Console, will System Manager still be used to Fetch Ports? I just tried on the latest ISO and it didn't get installed to the jail. Is this a work in progress or will there be another utility that will be used to add /usr/ports to the jail?

Cheers,

Dru

[PC-BSD Translations] Updates to Pootle & Subversion problem

hi
I have same problem as R O D R I G O . . M A Z A K with ukrainian translation.
I translate some strings. When I check that strings immediately translated strings looks good. But after some time (at next day) all my translations disappear.

Yurkis,

I took a look at this issue today, and believe it should be fixed now. Could
you do some test translations today sometime and see if they stick now? It
was a bug in some of our scripts that wasn't coping your strings into SVN
properly, but was reading the old ones and blowing away translations.

I haven't gotten around to figuring out how that'll work yet :)

Right now as you've seen, it only extracts your systems regular /usr/ports tree, and your port console
is still empty. Here's some of the possible solutions, feel free to chime in and let me know what
you guys think would work best:

* Setup system manager to provide option to select if you want to install into the ports console or
the base system

* Default to only extracting ports into the ports console, since you probably shouldn't be building
ports on the main tree anyway

* Do some nullfs mount of /usr/ports to into the port jail, so they can share

Any ideas on which one would work best or be ideal for us?

New Alpha up!


Everybody,

Another alpha has been uploaded to the usual testing site:

ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/alpha-iso/

This build is done off of FreeBSD 8.0-RC2, so feel free to give it a whirl and
see if things work better on any systems having hardware issues. Also, we've started
adding our themes for the desktop now, so you can get a sneak peek at it, as well
as the usual bugfixes, etc.

I'm working like crazy on our new installer backend right now, trying to get it
wrapped up and working properly, so we can chuck the old one and begin seriously
testing all its new features, so if I take a while to respond to requests please
forgive me :)

My vote is to extract only to ports console since I've consistently warned users to only  play with ports in there. Unless someone has an option #4.

Re: Testing Digest, Vol 34, Issue 2

Testing PCBSD 8.0-Alpha-20091029 i386 using VirtualBox installation.


1.  Wow -- The new desktop backgrounds with the logo are intense and beautiful.

2.  I did not see the usual desktop "folder view" widget (with icons to access www.pcbsd.org, www.pbidir.com, and help) after the installation.  This was easily fixed with the add folder view widget.

3.  Dolphin in admin mode will not open text files with either kwrite or kate.  The error message says, "Sorry - Dolphin.  KDEInit could not launch '/usr/local/kde4/bin/kwrite'.   (kate message is the same). 

Dolphin in the user mode will launch kwrite or kate.

Cannot launch Dolphin or Konqueror in a terminal as root either:

"KUniqueApplication:  Cannot find the D-Bus session server:  "Did not receive a reply.  Possible causes include:  the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
