update system & ports

hirohitosan · Mar 20, 2009

Hi there.
I want to update my system.
Fist I updated the ports collection

Code:

csup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile

and after I tried portmaster

Code:

===>>> The x11/xorg-protos port has been deleted: Not really necessary
===>>> Aborting update

and it's stop
what's happened? how can I continue the update?

thanks

I don't use portmaster - I use portupgrade, but given you have had no other advice, this is what I did:

1. De-install the x11/xorg-protos port (from memory I might have had to force it due to old dependencies on this port)
2. pkgdb -Fu to delete the irrelevant dependencies on x11/xorg-protos
3. The X11 upgrade then went smoothly (sort of

After csup'ing the ports tree, don't forget to rebuild /usr/ports/INDEX.

cd /usr/ports && make index

If you don't have the entire ports directory hierarchy it errors out.

Code:

portsdb -Fu

works better in this case.

cd /usr/ports && make index

Or, you can fetch a complete INDEX file using make fetchindex, instead of building one locally.

I did:

Code:

cd /usr/ports && make index 
Generating INDEX-7 - please wait..Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_4
Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: mod_rpaf-ap2-0.6                                           
 Done.

and after :

Code:

# portmaster -a
....

Code:

portsdb -Fu
portsdb: Command not found.

It's part of ports-mgmt/portupgrade.

Try building /usr/ports/security/ca_root_nss by hand, maybe it'll give a 'better' error message..

thx, but I cannot find whereis xorg-protos. I have no port with this name ...

I installed /usr/ports/security/ca_root_nss
and try again portmaster -a but it stopped at xorg-protos, but I cannot find whereis xorg-protos ... It is not in /usr/ports/x11
and whereis xorg-protos gives me nothing

SirDice · Mar 23, 2009

The port has been remove but you may still have it installed.
Try removing it with pkg_delete xorg-protos-\*.

well it's strange ... I tried

Code:

pkg_delete xorg-protos-\*.
pkg_delete: no such package 'xorg-protos-*.' installed
# pkg_delete xorg-protos-7.3_2
pkg_delete: package 'xorg-protos-7.3_2' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
xorg-7.3_2

I don't understand who requires xorg-protos?

how can I remove it?

thx

This might be due to your shell. The * gets treated differently.

Code:
Code:

# pkg_delete xorg-protos-7.3_2 pkg_delete: package 'xorg-protos-7.3_2' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: xorg-7.3_2

I don't understand who requires xorg-protos?

Ok.. Try pkg_delete -f xorg-protos-7.3_2 then continue to update your system.

thanks It works. After portmaster -a it's stop at:

Code:

===>>> The x11/xphelloworld port has been deleted: Xprint application, deprecated upstream
===>>> Aborting update

maybe I should deinstall and reinstall X?

or do the same with pkg_delete -f x11/xphelloworld ?

ale · Mar 24, 2009

Code:

grep xphelloworld /usr/ports/MOVED

So do the same with x11/xphelloworld.
# pkg_delete -fix xphelloworld

hirohitosan · Mar 24, 2009

Solved

thanks guys,
afer pkg_delete -fix xphelloworld, portmaster -a works smoothly

well not quite solved ... after update my mouse doesn't work in X. I have an USB mouse

Add

Code:

Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"

to the ServerLayout section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Note:

20090124:
AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server, sysutils/hal
AUTHOR: r[spam-no]@FreeBSD.org

sysutils/hal has been updated and should now properly detect
mice for use in Xorg. Use of AllowEmptyInput should no longer
be needed for most users and moused should now work fine.

My /etc/X11 is empty!

Code:

# locate xorg.conf
/root/xorg.conf.new
/usr/local/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz

tangram · Mar 25, 2009

There a good chance that your locate database is outdated. Update it or run find instead.

To create a xorg.conf run:

Code:

# Xorg -configure

Afterwards test it and copy it over to /etc/X11/.

This described in further detail at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html.

Also read /usr/ports/UPDATING.

thanks guys .... I'm sorry for this questions but I cannot stop X server. My mouse doesn't work, I tried Ctr-Alt-BkSpace and nothing. I'm running Fluxbox. There is a way to stop X server without reboot from console?

ctrl-alt-backspace should work but it sounds like your keyboard isn't working either.

Do you have another machine you can use to ssh into this box?

Make sure hald is running too. Xorg needs it nowadays.

Press Control + Alt + Backspace to kill the X server and return to the console (assuming you aren't using a graphical login manager).

Check if your /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the following:

Code:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "AllowEmptyInput"       "off"
        Option          "AllowAddDevices"       "off"
EndSection

And check your keyboard also, mine is:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout" "pt"
EndSection

Btw did you compile X with hal? And are you enabling hal in rc.conf?

tangram · Mar 26, 2009

If Ctrl+Alt+Backspace isn't working check if your xorg.conf has

Code:

Option "DontZap" "true"

If so disable it.

well it doesn't work. I can switch to console Alt-F2 but in X it does't work

yes I have
