    Just in case you are interested, PC-BSD 1.3 was released today

     

    http://www.pcbsd.org/?p=releasenotes

     

    Should make an easier transition into *BSD than say straight into FreeBSD.

     

    PCBSD 1.3 - Release Notes

    12-31-06 (Kris Moore)

    PC-BSD - Copyright 2006 PC-BSD Software (iXsystems)

    --------------------------

     

    Minimum system requirements

     

    Pentium or higher (686)

    256MB Ram

    Software Specs

    - FreeBSD 6.1

    - KDE 3.5.5

     

    Known issues

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    This is the first release of PC-BSD which incorporates HAL support for the media

    backend. Since HAL on BSD is relatively new, there still may be quirks with its

    operation on various hardware. If HAL causes stability options on your system, you

    may disable it from the PC-BSD "Services" tool, or by editing /etc/rc.conf manually.

    Oh, this is like a flame war waiting to happen ;)

     

    To me:....

     

    Linux = more desktop'ish stuff that makes things easier like automount ipods and what not and having aiglx/beryl/xgl/compiz type stuff. Not saying it doesn't make a good server, however the other two make awesome servers too.

     

    */BSD = Can make a good desktop and now has hal too, just don't have beryl readily available, still can be done... :) http://wikitest.freebsd.org/ModularXorg/ Makes a rock solid server and the ports and os/kernel layer is all intergrated.

     

    Solaris = Can make a good desktop and now Nevada (solaris 11ish/beta) has hal. Solaris 10 and beyond is just flurishing with awesome goodness. I would use it for a Server first B)

     

    One of the things that drives me nuts with Linux is abi/api compatibility. Solairs/BSD you can have an old driver laying around from 1946 and it will work..... Linux and old driver from say 4 months ago, wont...

     

    I know I extended that last bit, but eh not to far off from the truth it seems some times :lol2:

  8. Change Synaptic's "Mark All Upgrades" Button

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    Well, this isn't a theme or icon. It is for a program with a built in icon ;)

     

    I assumed you were talking about the synaptic program and all the buttons it uses whilst you are in it right? If so, than dropping it in a theme/icon location wouldn't work. That would be like expecting the refresh button in firefox to change because you added <some-icon-theme> to gnome. Know what I mean?

     

    I could be wrong though, I'm not a theme guru by any means :unsure:

    I'm at work right now and just ssh'd in so I can't see what they look like, pull them up in nautilus and compare, make a backup and then cp your image to it with the same name. This might not work so make a cp :)

  12. ATi-driver installed on FC6 and no 3D-rendering

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    You need to disable a few things in your xorg.conf

     

    Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "False"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	  "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

     

    Run these commands

     

    ati-fglrx-config-display enable
ati-fglrx-config-display enabledri

     

    Also, check your kernel version, do you have i586 or i686

    rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep kernel|sort

  14. Bluetooth cell phone and Ubuntu

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    I got it working. The passcode wasn't 0000, as I tried that and others from what I found googling.

     

    I uninstalled bluez-utils and reinstalled and it works fine. Only thing is now I can't find how to send pics from my phone to the pc. It does not have a bluetooth option under "send". Seems as though maybe Sprint only has the option to upload to their online photo album deal. Gonna try the usb cable that came with it and see what happens.

     

    By the way you work for Sprint or something?? :)

     

    Oh yea I did a speed test at dslreports and I got 1148 k/bts down. Is that good?

     

    Good deal.

     

    Yes I work for Sprint ;)

     

    k/bts or k/bps?

  17. Bluetooth cell phone and Ubuntu

    Thanks jlc. Yes it is Sprint and I did read through the user guide. Nothing in there about what the passcode is. Just says to enter it when asked. I'll do some searhing around.

     

    Try 0000 first as a test, if you haven't. If you can't find it or still have problems. Call Sprint *2 I believe and ask them. If you still have a problem. If you want you can't IM me your number and I can see if I can look it up.

  19. Bluetooth cell phone and Ubuntu

    Ok I got a new cell phone, Fusic, by LG. I have a usb bluetooth dongle for my laptop and the phone finds it fine, but it is asking for a passcode and I have no idea what that would be. Anyone have an idea on what direction should I go?

     

    Is it Sprint?

     

    It will probably be 0000 The user guide or some documentation should have it in there. Look around the bluetooth section and pairing.

  24. Backup FreeBSD

    FreeBSD uses UFS2 for a file system.

     

    ufs-linux is really old and hasn't been updated for a couple years, plus it is only read.....support

     

    http://ufs-linux.sourceforge.net/

     

    Do you have only one pc at home? Is FreeBSD/Linux/Windows all on the same box?

     

    If so, FreeBSD can mount fat32/ntfs and you can write to it.
