He said he's building xorg from ports and that it's a tiny program. At least that's what I understood. That's why I'm a bit surprised. I (MHO) think xorg is not a "tiny program". And that's why I was asking ... maybe I misunderstood what he was saying.

Mmmm

Wel xorg obviously is not a tiny program. It took hours to build from port with X230 8gig ram.

I once compiled chromium and bathed in regret

are you talking about xorg-server or the whole xorg suite?

Rafa

That's MHO too. I also have compiled it and it takes quite a long time (4 cores, 16 GB of RAM), physical, not VM.

Rafa

That also takes long to compile, just like Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice ...

It's HS who said it was a time tiny program, not Coro

you're right, I've misread

Hahahhaa... Firefox will take days to complete.

mrphyber

chromium took 20 hours on my machine, whereas firefox just about 2 if I recall correctly

Rafa

Firefox takes less time, but is still quite heavy. And I agree, Chromium takes a veeeery long time 😅

Mmmm

@krond Anw i still couln't boot, i have import zpool but still cant find /boot/zfsloader when booting. try to copy boot.efi from live cd to /boot/efi/bootx64.efi here is what i get

Mmmm

Krond

I think "setting currdev to zfs:zroot" means we reached boot2 and ready to read zfs root. But it might be missing required files. Do you have /boot somewhere on ZFS?

Krond

(Besides the one you deleted (my guess))

Himanshu

Hey guys, yes, isn't xorg tiny in comparision to KDE suite ?

Himanshu

Like I am not even thinking about building whole KDE suit when xorg itself is taking so long to build and install.

Badugar

xorg is a meta-package afaik

Badugar

xorg-server alone is small

Himanshu

Okay. Got it

Himanshu

xorg-server alone is small

Yes. I understand. My logic was "pkg install xorg" gives 194MB software binaries While "pkg install kde5" is around 2GB. So isn't xorg very tiny in this view.

These commands were run on a nascent FreeBSD system.

Himanshu

So not just the system, all dependencies were adding to that extra space, I get it. But my idea was to install xorg and kde5 from ports, to see what happens. After xorg took so long being so small in comparison to KDE, I bailed on the idea.😂😂

Himanshu

I have to appreciate the handbook, everything is so well explained, it's like the author is explaining to his younger brother, I can see the love he's given to his job.

The time some SW takes to compile also depends on the HW you're compiling on 😉. I've got 4 cores (AMD A4-5000), SATA drive and 16 GB RAM at home ... at work servers with: 96 threads and +300 GB of RAM with local SSD drives ... Not comparable the compile times 😉😅

Rafa

Personally, if you do not really need any specific compilation options, I wouldn't recommend it either. Use the binaries. If you are going to modify compiler options ... you better know what you are doing and why😉

Yes, I agree. sometimes I like to experiment to find ways that don't work for me.

Himanshu

Now I know to leave the compiling job to the experts with the bigger guns.

Himanshu

What is the least bloated KDE meta package for plasma desktop, Ktorrent Kate, Konsole, Ark, dolphin,KDE connect Okular, gwenview,skanlite. How do I go about it ?

Himanshu

Should I install plasma5 only and then proceed to install these apps separately, or should I install the frameworks meta package first.
