>Description: When upgrading I delete all packages then upgrade followed by installing one pacakage; pkg_add gnome2-lite -r. This installs many dependent packages but it does not install xorg nor gdm. This has been the case since 7.1 and it was again when I upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0-RC3 earlier this week. I do not use FreeBSD on a regular basis though I would like too. Therefore, at each update I am a little rusty in getting my system back to where it was before the upgrade. This time I did remember that it was necessary install pkg_add xorg -r but the first time around I forgot about gdm. Thus my system would not launch gnome. Maybe all the dependencies for gnome2 works but not for gnome2-lite. If all the dependencies worked as they should then upgrading is a six step process to restore the new OS and desktop with no time required to debug. pkg_delete -a freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.0-RC3 freebsd-update install pkg_add gnome2-lite -r shutdown -r now freebsd-update install >From there I do add some other packages such as Firefox, etc. It was also >necessary to manually install portsupgrade as well. >How-To-Repeat: Every upgrade that I have performed since 7.1 >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
