14.1-RELEASE-P5 issues

K

KenGordon

Hello, again. I haven't been very active here for a bit, but am now getting back at it.

I recently upgraded one of my systems from 13.1 to 14.1-RELEASE-p5. Since doing that I have come up with several problems.

The first and most annoying one is that my desktop, which worked just fine under 13.1, will no longer load at all. I won't publish the error messages here yet, since there are OTHER issues I think I must contend with first, but basically, when I invoke startx I get that the system cannot find anything related to X. But, I'll deal with that later.

First of all, I get an error message about NTPD "Error resolving....". From a search of the forum, it appears that I need to add a netwait to my startup somewhere. I'll do that and see if that resolves that issue.

Secondly, when I attempt to upgrade my packages, I get an error telling me that my PORTSITE is incorrect.

So far, I have not yet found what that should be, nor how to fix that.

Anyone have any ideas?

You've done a major upgrade (13.1->14.1). Then you must upgrade all packages, and as you cannot, all that depends on packages such as Xorg will very likely not work.

You might have lost your internet connection, please post the output of:
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
freebsd-version -kru

What graphics card/GPU exactly do you have?

What does pkg -vv show?

PORTSITE isn't a known variable, I suspect you meant PACKAGESITE?
 
Well, I have come down with some darned flu-like garbage and am not very active for the present. I will post replies to your (plural) questions asap.

Thanks,

Ken Gordon
 
P.S. I am having another, different, issue with a second computer when attempting to upgrade that one from Freebsd 13.2-RELEASE-p11 to 14.1, but I'll leave that for now to a different post.

Later,

Well, thank you all again. I have solved my problems. Both computers now operate FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5, my desktops are working and I am tweaking things.

Later,
