[lio_013]

hi everyone
im using PC-BSD and i have installed gnome2 using

pkg_add -r gnome2


it takes more than 12 hours downloading and installing the packages when i choose gnome from kdm it didnot start and a small pop message appears says


the configuration default for gnome power manager hav not been inslled correctly please contact your system administrator


so how can fix that

Install sysutils/gnome-power-manager port:
portsnap fetch update
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/gnome-power-manager
make install clean

Hi "lio_013"

I suggest you install the ports, then recompile gnome2.
It's probably a dependency problem.

If you want advice, I advise you to install directly freebsd and then install gnome.

The problem is that pcbsd is oriented for kde not gnome!
