Install KDE

J

Hello,

It seems as if I can not install KDE. I tried pkg install kde and pkg install kde-lite but I get:

Code: 
Updating repository catalogue
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date
All repositories are up-to-date
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'kde' have been found in the repositories
 
Thanks for the quick reply! unfortunately I get the same result...

Code: 
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'x11/kde4' have been found in the repositories
 
Thanks! That did the trick. In summary, I did this:

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

Then added the following to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD_new_xorg.conf:
Code: 
#  /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD_new_xorg.conf
FreeBSD_new_xorg: {
   url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/new_xorg",
   mirror_type: "srv",
   signature_type: "fingerprints",
   fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
   enabled: yes
}

Then this:
pkg update
pkg install kde

Thanks for the help!
 
Please, I've got the same problem under a new FreeBSD 10.1-BETA3. Isn't supposed the Xorg is updated to this version, or do I need to configure the extra repository for this?

Thank you very much!
 
Packages are compiled using the oldest supported version, for stable/10 it's 10.0-RELEASE. It will change to 10.1-RELEASE when 10.0-RELEASE is EOL'd (in February).

Assuming 10.1-RELEASE comes out in February. Normally a .0 release is EoL as soon as .1 comes out. The current schedule gives an expected release date around 29 October but experience shows it usually slips. So February may not be too far off ;)

.0 releases are supported 1 year, unless there's no .1 at least 3 months before EOL. The same happens to .2 releases.
See: http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html
 
Close but not close enough ;)

.0 release is EoL 2 months after .1 release. Odd numbered releases, like .1 and .3, will have extended support (2 years). Even numbered releases, like .2 and .4, are supported for one year unless it's the last of that major version, these receive 2 year support (8.4 for example).

Yes, I know about that (except that it's not 2 months but 3), but I didn't want to write about .1 and .3 because it doesn't matter for .0 :)

By the way, I need to use the "extra" repo to install KDE, right?
 
Well, these are good news:

Hi,

The WITH_NEW_XORG setting has been activated by default on FreeBSD 10.0
and above, which allows us to have packages for xorg 1.12 and kde4.

Please be aware that on systems that only support syscons
switching virtual terminals or exiting X
results in a black screen or the last image of their desktop
(like a screenshot) being presented. Commands can still be typed blindly.

Most, if not all, systems should be using vt(4) and this can be enabled
by setting kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf and reboot to activate.

On behalf of core,
Bapt

We don't need to wait anymore for this :e
