what I have done so far today after having an unsuccessful
portmaster x11-servers/xorg-server
run is that I have done a pkg_delete -a
and then repeated portsnap fetch
, portsnap extract
, and portsnap update
. The computer I am working on is doing those commands now. I will still have to do a cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster/ && make install clean.
I have however done nothing to directly address the problem with
portmaster x11-servers/xorg-server
. I have several questions. In the above mentioned process what other files are compiled and stored if any? what files do I delete and which ones do I keep? As I sit and think of this problem I do regret that I do not make backups of the file system. The system I am working on has as / a 50GB slice, swap 10GB, /var 100GB, /tmp 100GB, /usr 100GB, and /home 80GB file systems on the HD. I am making you aware of this because I became aware of the endless loop only after the error messages started coming up telling me that the SWAP space was exhausted. It then told me as well /tmp/f-1366-IPC_SAVE.HJ84wgls: 3: Syntax error "(" unexpected.
