Error code 1 on installing X.Org

M

MrBean

Hi,

After a very long installation, Xorg failed to install and I got this message:

Code: 
LINK libshadow.la

/: create/simlink failed, no inodes free
../../libtool: cannot create libshadow.la: no space left on device
ln: libbshadow.la: No space left on device

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg.

My HD is full at 91%. Is it because my HDD is full? How can I solve this? I got this problem many time (error code 1) and my first question is: what is the the disk space requirement for Xorg when you installed it by default?

Is it possible to install only the minimum for Xorg? Do I really need some option like Perl, Python etc... to use Xorg?

Btw, I just have 6 Go on my HDD...:r

Any suggestion on installing FreeBSD with 6 Go of space? Is it enough?

Thanks in advance.

It's enough, but it's not enough to build an entire system from source. Building relatively large projects requires at least a couple of gigabytes of free space (besides what's being installed). My temporary build space is 10GB. I suggest you use packages.
 
6 Go is enough to install X11. I installed X11+XFCE on a 4Go USB-Media half a year ago. Most probably you are not deleting temporary files of packages that were already installed successfully. portmaster (and any other port manager) does this.
EDIT:
Actually, FreeBSD + X11 + KDE4 fit on 4.6Go over here (5.3 Go with FreeBSD sources).
 
Thanks guys for the quick reply.

Yes I installed X.Org trough the ports...

So how do I proceed to erase this temporary files? Also, should I delete all the Xorg directory or I just need to update it?

At the begining, I also installed the "src" from the CD. My intend use for FreeBSD is just to try it and surf on the web and maybe, I don't really the source package... So deleting this can help me?
 
The src "package" will by default be installed to /usr/src. It is needed if you desire to (re)build FreeBSD or install a kernel-module port (VirtualBox, nvidia-driver, ...). It can be "removed" by deleting that directory.

Each port can have its temporary data removed by running # make clean in that port directory. When installing ports with many dependencies, the dependencies will be build and installed before the actual port, so make clean will remove temporals that do not require to be rebuild if you use make again, since those are already installed. However, since some dependecies can be quite large, their temporal data _should_ be removed right after installation (instead of installation of all dependencies or running out of space).
portmaster from ports-mgmt/portmaster can be used to clean every package right after it's installation, which saves alot of space. Instead of running make from your xorg-ports path, run
# portmaster x11/xorg
from any path to install x11/xorg and all dependencies not already installed.
 
Thanks, that's useful but I got new problem to start Xorg:

So what's happen here?

Both places will work though. But /usr/local/etc/X11/ is definitely preferred, Xorg is a port and all ports should have /usr/local/ as prefix.

Are dbus and hal running, as shown in the Handbook? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

The easier way is to add this to the ServerLayout section:
Code: 
Option       "AutoAddDevices" "Off"

Yes, but nothing changed

If I type:
Code: 
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start
I got this: "dbus already running? (pid=1061) witch mean???

Okay but how to create the file and paste it there? (sorry newbie here) :r
 
One way is to copy xorg.conf.new there:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/X11
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then edit the new file.
 
Ahh finaly it works! Thank you! It is just about xorg.conf location file...

But unfortunately my screen resolution is only 800x600. I tried to set it up with this command as seen here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html:
Code: 
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device     "Card0"
Monitor    "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
	Viewport  0 0
	Depth     24
	Modes     "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Code: 
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport  0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

But none of them works for me.

Here is one of my "var log":

Code: 
(II) MGA(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (insufficient memory for mode)

Note that I had previously used Windows 2000 with the same machine and by default I was in 1024x768. I could even set it to an higher resolution but with a lower depth. (I think 16 bit, can't remember)

Make that change. Incidentally, the Matrox cards are long obsolete. Unless it is built into a server motherboard, replace it.

You will also need to edit the DefaultDepth 24 option to 16 the section wblock mentioned.

EDIT:

The error from log is basically telling you that the videocard isn't big enough to handle the resolution at that colordepth. So you probably only have about 2-4MB VRAM on that card.

You might be able to see all of your resolutions and bitdepths with xrandr.
