So, I wanted to upgrade Firefox on my FreeBSD 10 workstation,
|
||||
and this in turn caused some supporting libraries to be upgraded,
|
||||
and this broke all sorts of things again.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially gdm just segfaulted. After more manual upgrades,
|
||||
it turned out to work again, except that GDM had lost all localization,
|
||||
and in particular got the wrong keymap for the login screen.
|
||||
|
||||
It appears that gdm_lang is no longer honored (despite still being
|
||||
mentioned in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm): you now need to set gdm's
|
||||
locale in /usr/local/etc/gdm/locale.conf. Also note that unlike
|
||||
other user-editable configuration files, this one is overwritten
|
||||
each time gdm is reinstalled.

This is an entry level network-connected multi function printer. It
|
||||
does not have a built-in Postscript interpreter. Instead, it receives
|
||||
raster data through a proprietary network protocol implemented as
|
||||
a closed source binary plugin to the CUPS filtering system.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to CUPS, the following ports must be installed:
|
||||
* print/hplip
|
||||
* print/hplip-plugin
|
||||
|
||||
Once this is done, the printer can be added to CUPS. The standard
|
||||
socket connection options cannot be used. Instead, the "HPLIP" transport
|
||||
must be selected. The printer URI must be set manually from the output of
|
||||
`hp-makeuri <IP-address>`. (The plugin requires an URI starting with
|
||||
"hp:", and will reject any other device URI with an error message saying
|
||||
"Error: This module is designed to work with HP Printers only").
