Solved Attempting to run cwm on FreeBSD

[mikethe1wheelnut]

I use cwm as my daily driver, so glad to see someone else. I haven't had to change the permissions of my home folder so I found that odd but nice to see it up.

instead of startx I use a script that runs
xinit ~/.xinitrc -- -nolisten tcp

and have all of my other applications that start up running before the exec cwm line in my .xinitrc.

Reflecting further on this, I will clarify that the reason I'm doing the way I am is that, not finding instructions in the handbook on how to do it (that I could find, anyway), I went searching, and the first tutorial I linked was the first one I found, and that's how it did it. As I learn more, I may discover that your way of doing it is in fact better. Out of curiosity, I will be keeping an eye open for that. As a case-in-point, the tutorial I followed for installing in the first place.. I've only half-watched. So I won't be surprised now if it guides me through something just like what you do

Uh-huh.. ..you realize, right, that this is a public forum? ..I'm trying to imagine the reaction of the average social-group to these disclosures.. and failing.. ..omg, I haven't laughed this hard in..

Now you have me laughing In the fly community, we call it Fly Porn. LOL. Some of them are hairy too I always try to maintain a sense of humor in everything that i do. I grew up watching Tom & Jerry carttons and i still laugh at them. Especially that laugh of Tom Cat. LOL.

I photograph and study everything that i can because i simply love the natural world. Birds, spiders, flies, beetles, dragon- and damselflies, trees, rocks, grass etc. Our lives and everything that is life is so dang fascinating. I am still full of wonder like i was in my childhood. It is difficult to teach myself stuff but the right sentence with the right word makes the old lightbulb radiate again Flies can be every bit as fascinating as our beloved birds. Most people like birds and butterflies but if everyone would just take some time to observe all living things, then more people might discover how interesting everything can be. Even earwigs can be fascinating and funny. I have photos of nothing but the tip of the earwig's abdomen sticking out from under a leaf. I always laugh like 'if you think that i cannot see you, think again' LOL. Flies are quite observational and if you watch them long enough, you will start to see bahavioral patterns that can be used to separate species in the same genus. I can always tell Lucilia sericata from caesar based upon behaviour alone. Flies sometimes make me laugh. Sarcophagidae are like the police of flies. Really. For example, i will be photographing an insect, say a ladybug, and if a sarc is near me it will either crash into me or crash into the ladybug on purpose, like it is trying to protect the ladybug. One time a sarc slammed right into my forehead while i was photographing a spider. LOL. They try to chase you away. Other flies will hop on your hand and start drinking your sweat when it is hot outside. I always laugh. Thirsty mate? LOL certain spiders play dead when you get too close to them Honestly, how can anyone not find that funny? it is ridiculous. some of them even bend their legs to look like they're dead for awhile. LOL alot of beetles roll off of leaves and land on the ground when one gets too close. LOL i always make a joke when that happens: 'did i forget to brush my teeth?' LOL Nature is great!

i want to learn how to sequence dna. I know that i can buy dna machines and kits, so i am going to start studying dna sequencing. genitalia will not be necessary when i can use dna to confirm a species. without dna, one must examine the genitalia of most insects and spiders to separate the species. Some insects require dna and now certain experts claim that so-called cryptic species exist. So dna is my next subject, athough, i have some ideas that i would like to explore: how to use hard drives as ram, since ram is so dang expensive. How to use magnetic energy to generate electricity (getting rid of electric bills would allow all of us to have more money and more money means buying more things, which means economies are rolling. Sometimes i wonder about the intelligence level of economists. LOL.)

Anyway, i am hoping that FreeBSD will detect my usb camera so that i can use my microscopes with FreeBSD. Otherwise, i will have to continue using Windows for microscopic work. I will attach some example photos of my dissections. Both are females. One is the vulva of a female spider named Xysticus kochi and the other is the ovipositor of a female Pollenia rudis. I like Calliphoridae and Polleniidae the best. I study them constantly. Very fascinating flies.

I guess that the expression 'first record' is associated with record keeping but it does seem lke you are saying 'my first album release'. LOL. I guess that i need to study music and make a 'first record' with a fly on my album cover

I started studying flies and spiders in 2016. I had to stop in between because i had two surgeries on my shoulder (frozen shoulder syndrome) and one surgery on my elbow. My arms lost alot of muscle during this time. My arms were only 10 inches wide. I started studying body building and i bought some weights. I got my arms from 10 inches to 15 inches in 2 years. I use a flex photo as an avatar to remind myself to keep exercising. I sometimes get lazy and stop lifting and such a flex phot reminds me to keep going.
