Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

For install:
Gnome-shell requires acceleration of to work. For this a nvidia card with the nvidia-driver, or a Intel/ATI KMS enabled card is needed. For the nvidia users no other changes are needed. For Intel/ATI KMS driver the user needs to have read/write permissions on /dev/dri/cardN (usually N=0). If gnome-shell is launched from gdm, the gdm user also needs this access. Access can be granted by adding the user(s) to the video group. pw groupmod video -m jerry In order to launch your session. Copy 'xprofile' into your home directory: cp /usr/local/share/examples/gnome-shell/xprofile ~/.xprofile Create or edit /var/db/AccountsService/users/YOURLOGIN file: [User] Language=fr_FR.UTF-8 # e.g. for French users Session=gnome-xorg SystemAccount=false Replace YOURLOGIN by your login. Currently only 'gnome-xorg' is supported and tested.

x11/gnome-shell: update to 47.8

Update gnome-shell to version 47.8.

Remove duplicate pkg-message.

Fix warning in gdm log, follow function defined in js/misc/loginManager.js

'GetSessionForCookie' is still valid with ConsoleKit2, and it has same
signature as its equivalent at systemd. But in js/misc/loginManager.js
we use 'GetCurrentSession' function.

We don't appear to need libdrm.so, libgnome-autoar-0.so, or libicuuc.so.
(truckman).

gettext -> gettext-tools (truckman).

We don't need USE_LDCONFIG (truckman).
