fsck gave up on me!
Hi, I have been using FreeBSD 6.2 for a couple of months now with no major snags. Until now. I did a portupgrade this morning and afterwards, when I logged in as a user into Gnome, my desktop was missing most of the programs (Accessories, System Tools, etc.). I rebooted the machine and "that other" terminal screen came up (Single User?) and I was prompted to "run fsck manually" so I did so. Well, fsck gave up on me. I have no idea what happened or why. Can anyone help me understand what is going on with my machine and any possible actions I can take to resolve this?

Re: Unable to delete a package
Hi, Peter: > ===> Installing for libgda3-1.9.102_3 > ===> libgda3-1.9.102_3 conflicts with installed package(s): > libgda2-1.2.4_1,1 > They install files into the same place. > Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). As people have noted you can use -f to force deletion. The problem you are experiencing would typically happen either because you are trying to install some top-level packages that are truly in conflict, in the sense that they depend on conflicting versions of libgda. Alternatively, you have older versions of various packages installed that depend on the older version of libgda3, and are now trying to install the gnome stuff from a newer ports tree. In this case you may want to perform a full upgrade (using portupgrade/portmanagaer/portmaster/etc). I'm using the command 'portsnap fetch update' each time before I do a 'make install clean' hoping that will cover me. I used portupgrade with 5.4 but switched to portsnap with 6.2 because I believed from the Handbook that it was a 'new and improved' way of maintaining my ports tree. Is this correct? Does portsnap do a better job than portupgrade or portsmanager? Do they all do the same thing (...in real life as well as on paper...)? Does portsnap automatically upgrade my programs or just the ports tree? And if I am using portsnap, can I use portupgrade or portsmanager as well, or will they cause a conflict? forcibly deleting the package will work, but the other packages depending on them will very likely break. I was concerned that something like that might happen but wasn't sure. Thanks! > (As an aside, is it okay to run these installations from a terminal window > from inside the Gnome GUI environment, or should I be outside of Gnome > altogether when I do program installations/upgrades?) It doesn't matter, except in so far as any actions would kill your running terminal. I would suspect that the already running terminal would survive (certainly this is the case with most), though I don't know if the gnome terminal is doing stuff even after initial start-up that might cause it to die. (To be strict of course it's always safest to not run stuff you are actively upgrading, while upgrading. In practice though it "tends to work".) I prefer to do upgrades and installations from outside the GUI. But I've added 'gdm_enable=Yes' to my rc.conf file so that the graphical login screen appears for most daily use. In order to get to the pre-GUI terminal as root, I have to log in as root into the GUI, comment out 'gdm_enable=Yes' in my rc.conf file, then reboot the machine so that I can run portsnap (or whatever) in the pre-GUI terminal. Then after running portupgrade, I have to re-edit my rc.conf in order to re-enable gdm and reboot again. Is there an easier way to get the pre-GUI terminal without having to reboot after commenting out 'gdm_enable=Yes' in my rc.conf file and then re-inserting it after I do an upgrade? I've tried Alt-Ctl-Backspace, and that does kill Gnome, but then it just bounces me back into the graphical login screen.

Unable to delete a package
Hi, (I originally posted this on the freebsd-gnome mailing list and then realized that list was for people actively working on Gnome. I don't know if my question is a Gnome-specific issue or if it is an issue that can arise when installing programs in general.) I am currently using FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE and I am trying to install gnome2-office via the ports collection. After running 'portsnap fetch update' I 'make install clean' in the gnome2-office directory. It goes well until: * * * gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102/doc/C' gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102/doc/C' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102/doc' gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102/doc' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102/doc' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102' ===> Installing for libgda3-1.9.102_3 ===> libgda3-1.9.102_3 conflicts with installed package(s): libgda2-1.2.4_1,1 They install files into the same place.

Re: Problem with Gnome2 Installation
Hi, Predrag! Thank you for responding to my question. I installed 6.2 Release, but did a minimum installation so I did not install Xorg from the release (I think). I then installed Xorg-7.2 from the ports collection. I took your advice and used the "make BATCH=yes install clean" command the installation was successful. Thanks again. I now can't seem to get Gnome to run even though I followed the instructions in the handbook, but I'll post that question in the Gnome forum as you suggested. BTW - Do you use portupgrade, portmaster or portsnap? Any comments on which to use? Is it okay to use more than one or does that corrupt the integrity of the ports tree?

Problem with Gnome2 Installation
Hi, I just installed FreeBSD6.2 onto my home computer. I chose the 'minimum installation' option. I then installed the ports tree by 'portsnap fetch', followed by 'portsnap extract', and then 'portsnap fetch upgrade'. Then I successfully installed Xorg via the ports tree. I then configured and tested X11. So far, all went very well. Next, I wanted to install the Gnome Desktop Environment, so 'cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2' followed by 'make install clean'. The installation went well for over two hours, and then it stopped with the message that I have included from the script file below. I have a few questions: 1. How can I continue, and complete, the installation of Gnome? 2. What, besides general Googling and checking the FreeBSD archives, can I do when the installation generates an error message like the one below that is merely descriptive and not prescriptive? (I'd like to not have to come running to this forum every time an installation doesn't succeed. I realize that a learning curve is involved, but I'm willing to do a bit of research if I can find the right resources. I did look at /usr/ports/UPDATING but didn't find anything that looked relevant.) 3. In the past (5.4), I have used 'portupgrade' to maintain my ports tree. I understand that 'portsnap' is a new utility that is supposed to be easier to use and more reliable. So does this mean that I can do all of my ports tree maintenance with 'portsnap' and never use 'portupgrade' again? Any advice, suggestions, or comments would be appreciated!

Re: Installation Disc Won't Boot
Hi, Manoliis: I took your advice. I copied the burned iso file into a FreeBSD directory and ran md5 and the check digits did not match. I then copied my downloaded iso image from Win98 into FreeBSD and ran md5 and the digits did match. So there was nothing wrong with the iso of disc1 that I downloaded from the web site into Win98. It must have been the burning of the file in Win98 with Nero Express that was the problem. So I burned another copy of the iso in FreeBSd with burncd using: burncd -f /dev/acd1 6.2-RELEASE-i386.iso fixate and it booted just fine. Thanks for all of your suggestions and advice. Now I will be spending the better part of the weekend doing the installation of 6.2. Wish me luck.

There are two of them, CHEKSUM.md5 and CHECKSUM.SHA256 One would be enough to validate your download.

Installation Disc Won't Boot
Hi, I am unable to boot from 6.2-RELEASE i386-disc1.iso. I have downloaded it and burned it three times without success. I am currently running Win98SE and FreeBSD 5.4 on a dual boot. I had decided to reformat my hard drives so I reinstalled Win98SE and would like to install FreeBSD 6.2. I downloaded the disc 1 iso image and burned it to a disc in Win98. I had to boot from my CDrom to reinstall Win98 so I know that my boot priority is correct and that my CDrom is working properly. I looked at the burned cd with the 6.2-RELEASE i386-disc1.iso file on it in FreeBSD 5.4 and everything appears to be there, including a folder called 'boot'. But I just can't seem to boot from it. 1. Is there something simple I'm missing? 2. Should I just try downloading (it takes four hours) and burning more copies again? (I've already done it three times...) 3. Is the fact that I'm burning it in Win98 a problem? 4. Is there anything I can do in FreeBSD 5.4 to see if the file is corrupted? BTW - I installed FreeBSD 5.4 from discs that I purchased through FreeBSD Mall. I thought I would do it from the 6.2-RELEASE i386-disc1.iso file on FreeBSD's web site this time.
