poweroff command simply doesn't run shutdown scripts. It causes several dirty killing of running processes, etc.

Use always

# shutdown -p now

instead.

Do it like this:

svn propset svn:keywords 'Id' <your_file_name>

propset can be abbreviated by ps or pset

You want to set your Apache web server to create files with controlled permissions. Do this with umask setting at the beginning of the rc script, which starts the service. In NetBSD:

/etc/rc.d/apache

 

You push the logout menu, and the xfce-session-logout dialog appears. If the shutdown, reboot and suspend buttons are greyed out, check these:

If you have an Analog Devices AD1984A audio chip, and could not have headphones jack working, apply the the patch below, and recompile the kernel.

If you want to display or hide xconsole while running an xdm session, then:

1. look for Xsetup_0 file in your system

2. Find this line (or similar to this from NetBSD), and comment/uncomment regarding your needs:

xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail

 

Xfce4 disables opening other then preprogramed directories. So, what?

If you have an operating ACPI subsystem, give this a try to set your screen brightness:

1. Check the actual value:

# sysctl -a | grep bright

2. Set the relevant sysctl parameter. Mine looks like this (default value is 100):

# sysctl -w hw.acpi.acpiout1.brightness=110

 

Quote from stackoverflow.com:

# Add the remote, call it "upstream":

git remote add upstream https://github.com/whoever/whatever.git

# Fetch all the branches of that remote into remote-tracking branches,
# such as upstream/master:

git fetch upstream

# Make sure that you're on your master branch:

git checkout master

# Rewrite your master branch so that any commits of yours that
# aren't already in upstream/master are replayed on top of that
# other branch:

git rebase upstream/master

Sometimes it happens that the pkgin tool gets behave odd. It does not install any new package, and does not know about installed packages at all. Here is how to solve.
