Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, so please feel free to redirect me if necessary. I'm running 4.4-stable as of about Oct. 30th and I've been trying to KDE 2.2.1 to work for the last couple of weeks without success. So, one last time, I cvsup'ed the ports tree, found there were some changes to the kdebase2 Makefile and finally recompiled and reinstalled it. Once again no success. I think my problem lies with FAM. It does not seem to be configured properly and I cannot for the life of me find *any* documentation that tells me how to set up FAM so that KDE can use it! Here are the symptoms: - Whenever I start KDE, it hangs on the splash screen at "Initializing System Services" and stays there until I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 - Then the error, "kio (KDirWatch): Can't use FAM" comes up on the screen Given these symptoms, I decided to take fam out of my inetd.conf and just start it manually. After fam was supposedly running, I tried starting KDE again and the same thing happened except the error message for fam was different this time: "Cannot Register Service: RPC Timed Out fam[84492] can't register with portmapper" Portmap is running and I have the "sgi_fam" line in /etc/rpc. What else do I need to do to get fam working properly so that it won't hinder KDE anymore? I've searched the archives and google and I've seen that others have had this issue, but there never seems to be an answer. Not to mention that finding any decent documentation on the configuration of fam (i.e. how to make it work) is seemingly impossible. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer because I am thoroughly stumped... -Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
