I am feeling nuked from the freeBSD community right now and
I was trying to appropriately post to the gnome list but oh
well. I don't have time for the continued bugs in my system,
I have _GOT_ to get this running pronto. The subscription
to the gnome list seems to be hanging or lagging and my
paranoia meter says that some people are doing this because
crimeny the gnome list should have sent me at least 50 emails
by now.
Anyway. To my stupid question that is probably too stupid
for hackers, but I am not subscribed to questions either I
just can't tolerate that in my time frames It is hard enough
letting the other lists go by. Oh. I should have tried to
subscribe to that but I am under the.. GGGH fine. If I
don't get that subscription notice by the time I finish this
then I'm sending it. I suspect the composition should take
a reasonable amount of time for that to happen.
I did cvsup with the standard-supfile but I guess I used the
one from freeBSD 6.2 and I thought it would be kosher to change
the bit that said RELENG_6_2 to RELENG_7 so that's what I
did. I used the ftp4.freebsd.org mirror and I did a cvsup.
Then I did cvsup with the ports-supfile but that one had
cvsup4.freebsd.org in it, so after that I was OMG and I changed
the ftp4.freebsd.org in the standard-supfile and redid that
cvsup.
Anyway. THen I started following instructions in /usr/src/Makefile.
My current professor runs FreeBSD and he suggested that method.
It looks pretty similar to stuff I have seen elsewhwere, plus
it was part of what cvsup slurped up that was supposed to be
specific to my version, right? Anyway, here are the steps:
IMPROVISATION: I did mergemaster -p here oops. (see below)
make buildworld
/ make buildkernel
make kernel -| substituted for- make installkernel
reboot -s .. okay. This is where I guess I am basic? I
don't think I used the loader prompt, I didn't use reboot -s
hmm.. that probably would have been a good thing to type
after # I guess I am really stupid. I did shutdown -r now
and when the devil came up I pressed 4 Then I typed
mount -a and then..
mergemaster -p and that is a ball of wax depicted here:
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inst_world/index.vhtml
The same thing happened the first time I did mergemaster -p
tells my spidey sense oh oh.
Anyway. Then I did make installworld and had a bad thing
something about make doesn't get it but I fixed that by
googling it. Oh here it is:
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inst_world/p5240176.vhtml
anyway, don't worry too much about that I fixed it by doing:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh -p and had the
same trials and tribulation of hitting 1000 space bars at the
right time with intercelated 1000 return keys (actually maybe
more like 300 space bars and 200 return keys) and then, saints
be praised, make installworld did some presumably nice things
so then I did:
make delete-old
like /usr/src/Makefile said and OMFG I had to hit y 200 times
now.
mergemaster -U
300 more space bars 200 more return keys
make delete-old-libs
and now I have provided some pictures of what happens when I try
to start up. I get to the devil and then it looks like
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250001.vhtml
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250002.vhtml
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250004.vhtml
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250005.vhtml
I broke my gnome and my nessus which is the thing I absolute
need pronto! I am not trying to be demanding I am just informing
everybody that I am under pressure here and I have no idea what to
google at this point.
