ERROR:NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0×80040154)

Solution: Delete folder: /tmp/.vbox-username-ipc/

Install:

#cd /usr/ports/devel/rapidsvn
#make install clean

after that checkout your work copy from repository and enjoy.
I very need the suitable diff in svn client. RapidSVN doesn’t include diff tool but we can choose external program.
install diff tool for FreeBSD – dirdiff:
#cd /usr/ports/sysutils/dirdiff
#make install clean

and put location in settings of Rapidsvn(Settings->Programs->Diff Tool ):
/usr/local/bin/dirdiff

If you know any better svn client for FreeBSD I will glad to learn it of from yours comments.

/usr/ports/net/skype12/ – installing, but doesn’t work.

/usr/ports/net/skype/ - doesn’t installing:

#cd  /usr/ports/net/skype/
#make install clean
===> skype-2.0.0.72,1 is marked as broken: This is the last version of skype that works on FreeBSD, but the distfile is no longer available from the vendor, and won't be in the future. We are working on alternative solutions..
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/skype.

Solution:

Download file skype_static-2.0.0.72-oss.tar.bz2 into /usr/ports/distrfiles

comment string 26 in the /usr/ports/net/skype/Makefile:

“BROKEN= This is the last version of skype that works on FreeBSD, but the distfile is no longer available from the vendor, and won’t be in the future. We are working on alternative solutions.”

after that try make it again:

#cd  /usr/ports/net/skype/
#make install clean
#rehash
#skype

Congratulations!

hostobsd#pciconf -lv |grep Wireless
device = 'Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller (10208086)'

find device in Hardware Notes:

[i386, amd64] Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG MiniPCI network adapters ( wpi(4) driver)

So, wpi is driver for my wi-fi device.

Following the instruction wpi(4), going to configure the kernel with options:
device wpi
device wpifw
device pci
device wlan
device wlan_amrr
device firmware

You also can load driver without kernel configuring by adding in /boot/loader.conf
if_wpi_load=”YES”

add in  /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_wpi0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0=”WPA DHCP”

create configuration file for our wireless connection :
howtobsd#touch /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
howtobsd#vim /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

and add there ssid and password(for WPA-PSK):
network={
ssid=”yourssid”
psk=”yourspass”
}

and finally reboot

snd_driver is driver, that include itself supporting the most popular sound card drivers.

But I think better to install kernel with support exactly yours sound card. For this way we have to identify device model:
slim# pciconf -lv | grep audio
device = 'Intel audio controller embedded with the 82801H chipset ( ICH8 chipset ) (82801H)'

find this sound card in the Hardware Notes :

and make kernel with options:

device sound
device snd_hda

You also can load driver without configuring kernel. Add in /boot/loader.conf:
snd_hda_load=”YES”

1. Before installing you have to update ports tree:
2. Installing X.org:

#cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
#make install clean

create a X.org configuration file by command:
#Xorg -configure

and copy this file:
#cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

for testing Xorg:
#Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro

if installation have been completed is correct – the result of this command must be a X mouse cursor on black and gray grid.

3.Installing KDE4:
#cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4
#make install clean

(ATTENTION! For compilation kde from the port will be need enough time and a lot of free disk space and in virtual part /usr – I have been used near 20Gb)
In depends from your computer it it requires much time. I have been make it about one and a half days, because I decided party to installation and from time to time I have been choosing dependences. You can disable it in /etc/make.conf by string “BATCH=YES”. With this string ports will be build with default dependences.

When installing of KDE finish:
#echo “exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde4” > /home/username/.xinitrc for running kde from command startx by user-name

and give command by user:
#startx

In my first run keyboard and mouse are didn’t works. Handbook said than I can use HAL to autodetect keyboards and mouse:
#echo "hald_enable=”YES”" >> /etc/rc.conf
#reboot

In the next article I will tell howto enable sound cart support.

PS: for making Xorg and kde from the ports you need to a lot of space and time. You can install xorg and kde4 from packages:
pkg_add -r or pkg_add ftp://url-package. For example :

#pkg_add ftp://ftp.ua.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/x11/xorg-7.5.tbz

or you can define environment variable PACKAGEROOT nearest mirror:

#setenv PACKAGEROOT=ftp://ftp3.ua.freebsd.org
#pkg_add -r xorg-7.5.tbz

same for kde:
#pkg_add ftp://ftp.ua.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ia64/packages-8-stable/x11/kde4-4.4.5_1.tbz
or
# pkg_add -r kde4-4.4.5_1.tbz
