Common Desktop Environment broken when compiling from ports tree on FreeBSD 12 RC3 (May also apply to the final build)
I ran into problems compiling the CDE in FreeBSD 12.0 RC3 (PowerPC) on my eMac. It says it is broken and cannot be compiled. Also, any ETA on when this port of the OS will go into Tier 1? Compiling software, desktop environments, X11, using 11.1 and the now unsupported 10.4 failed when I tried those a while back (and personally I have been partial to Linux and how easily I can just get software via APT or Zypper... I would be running Debian Sid if they didn’t drop support for the eMac in terms of my internal display not working after Jessie) Sent from my iPad ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: FreeBSD-12.0-RC3-i386-disc1.iso does not boot
I seem to have the same issue with the PowerPC CD (since the alpha stage images). It will show up in the boot menu but once selected it doesn’t work at all, just inverts colors. Tested on both my G5 DP and eMac G4, which the latter works only on the now obsolete 10.4 and current 11.1. 11.2 doesn’t boot all the way (hangs at cryptosoft0 in the boot sequence) Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Sunday, December 2, 2018, 7:23 PM, Rick Macklem wrote: miltonott wrote: >>On Sat Dec 1 21:51:05 UTC 2018 CenturyLink Customer wrote: >>> Hello all:Sorry, this old Pentium 4 refurbished test machine has been >>> obstinate >>> during ALPHA, BETA, and now RC.I had a workaround using the BTX bootloader >>> from >>> ALPHA8 and pasted it into BETA3; meanwhile,remastering the .iso disk >>> afterwards.

emac g4 1.25 GHz retail model won't boot FreeBSD 12 at all.
The CD or DVD show up fine in the device selection screen, but it won’t even boot the disc. What changed from 11.2 to 12.0 in regards to PowerPC Macs that are 32 bit? A much needed answer would be appreciated.

PowerPC is a split between Gigabit and Megabit Ethernet, I hope those drivers aren’t getting removed.

I still have a vr integrated on an old MotherBoard. As I said, if it goes away I'll find another solution; if it stays, the better.

FreeBSD 12 PowerPC won’t boot at all.
Subject says it all, that and it inverts the boot selector when selected. Tested it on my eMac G4 1.25 GHz (Retail).

Re: Failing to retrieve source tarballs for anything.
I was running FreeBSD 11.1, as 11.2 has that stupid freezing on cryptosoft0 (or whatever that’s called). Will reload FreeBSD 11.1 from the “DVD” when I get home (I am not at home to use it at the moment, will be home by sometime Monday.) I currently have a form of Ubuntu 12.04 loaded on it.

Alex, despite what the documentation says, I wouldn't try to build too much using the regular make methods (or portmaster). There are a number of dependencies that are incompatible that you can skate by if you use packages, synth or poudriere. Unless you're going to heavily customize your options, I'd stick with the simplest, packages, until you have a reason not to. FreeBSD 11.2 is stable... what version are you running? If you're running something really old, packages may no longer be offered and you should try to upgrade, but that is a different problem. 11.1 and 10.4 still have some life. As Jonathan noted, having an up-to-date port tree is also important. If it's too old, you may be trying to grab tarballs that no longer exist. Have you looked at chapter 4 of the FreeBSD handbook? https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html One way to update the sources is via the portsnap fetch/extract/update: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html The "binary packages" method is described here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html If you're using packages, and you "pkg upgrade", you'll see something like: root@rpi3:~ # pkg upgrade Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. Checking for upgrades (1 candidates): 100% Processing candidates (1 candidates): 100% Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) Your packages are up to date. My home ISP does something wonky with their DNS and I have some issues with connecting to some resources, but that is trivially solved by changing my DNS server. That typically manifests as unreachable sites or unresolvable hostnames, which might match your symptoms depending on the "fail." ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
