FreeBsd 8.1-RELEASE #0 and Gnome 2.30.2 I have (apparently) successfully installed a number of ports through the CLI but only two of these, (Etherape & Celestia-gnome), appear in the Gnome drop down menus. I have also tried to install through the <system><administration><add/remove software>...

KDE4 won't start @d_mon I did exactly what you suggested including installing kdm. At KDE startup I get a KDE background with a picture of a hard drive and that's all. Can you point me to what log files I should be looking at to try and understand what is going wrong? thanks

Hi all. After much frustration I completely reloaded Freebsd 8.1 from scratch via CD and then immediately tried to install KDE4 from the ports collection. I installed the ports in this order... kde4 kdebase4 kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-workspace kdelibs4 All of these installed...

freebsd 8.0 to 8.1 upgrade @SirDice /etc/rc.conf is unchanged and does specify the hostname which I have always used. @da1 #freebsd-update rollback config_<<<<<<<: not found Error processing configuration file, line 1: ==> <<<<<<<current version Thank again for your interest

@da1 Thanks for the tip. I tried both options but the situation remains identical. I should mention that whichever user I attempt to log in with gives the same response.

upgrading 8.0 to 8.1 Booted into single user mode: @da1 - All users still exist in "master.passwd" I don't know how to delete the hashes and reset the passwords. Can you help here? I was running 8.0 -p3 To upgrade I did this: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.1-RC2 <I then edited all files...

Further information: It seems that the problem lies in /etc/rc.subr but I don't have a clue how to correct it.

After trying this as per the Freebsd documentation the system boots and displays: FreeBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (ttyv0) login: Whatever user name I enter simply returns the same screen without asking for a password. I can't find any information about this on this forum using the "search" option...

Hal again @wblock: Thank you for all your efforts. I did exactly what you suggested and rebooted. I then did # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/hal # make install clean and got the exact same output as before. Would it be good time to admit defeat and re-install Freeebsd from scratch? @DutchDaemon...

HAL has left the building... I have spent a few hours trying to update HAL to the latest version which appears to be hal-0.5.14_8. I have tried portupgrade -R hal which failed with error 1. No further information was given I then tried portmaster sysutils/hal which also failed. I then tried...

pkg_info -Ix hal polkit Thanks for the reply. The above command displays: gstreamer-plugins-hal-0.10.6_1.3 hal-0.5.8.20070909 polkit-0.96_2 Hope this helps...?

polkitd_enable To DutchDaemon: I do have: polkitd_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf ps -ax shows among other things: /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system /usr/local/sbin/polkitd /usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm-bin No sign of hald running though... To wblock: I...

Yes but... I have checked these entries and both are correctly formatted but "hald" is not running. If I try and start it manually simply get a response "starting hald" but the daemon does not in fact run. I don't know where to look for an error log for this so can someone please hepl?

Yes but... I have checked these entries and both are correctly formatted but "hald" is not running and shows the following error when I try to start it manually: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald: WARNING: $polkitd_enable is not set properly - see rc.conf(5) Reading the MAN for rc.conf does not...

I have eventually got to a point where KDE4 is almost installed after a couple of weeks of vertical learning curve... I am attempting to start KDE4 from xinitrc as per much forum advice that this is the correct way to do this. When I execute startx I get a KDE startup screen and the first 4 of...

As part of a seemingly never ending attempt to install KDE4, the process attempts to install xscreensaver. Here is the log of the install which indicates GTK and Motif are missing. If I do "pkg_info" it says that GTK is installed. Once again, not sure where to start with this one...

Still trying to install KDE4 and getting closer BUT I need to install libXext-1.1.1 but I get the following error when I do make install clean Requested 'x11 >= 1.1.99.1' but version of X11 is 1.1.3 This is after a complete update and re-install of all ports which has taken several days to...
