Hi everybody ,
This is Dhanesh , I m a newbe to FreeBsd , I had a intel p4 box with
FreeBSD-6.1 Os with Gnome 2.18. installed and , this desktop working
fine for last 2 months . Mean while I tried to install OpenOffice from
ports collection for this box , but it is asking for an upgrade of Xorg
libraries , so I followed the /usr/ports/UPDATING procedure line by
line ,, every thing went fine at the stage where I reached
# portupgrade -aP ( while runnig this command about an hour or
more ) ther HAPPENED a power
failure , after this the m/c restarted and the Desktop
environment lost for ever , Its asking for command login without Desktop
GUI login , ther is an error message its showing gdm_server_spawn :
Xserver not found : /usr/X11R6/bin/X : 0 -audit /var/gdm/: 0.Xauth
-nolisten tcp vt9
Failed to start X server several times in a short time period , disabling
display:0
I tried to continue the portupgrade -aP command again but its showing
errors ,
Stale dependency : at-spi-1.18.1_1 ----> xmlcatmgr-2.2 -- manually run
'pkgdb -F' to fix , or specify -0 to force
asking pkgdb -F to run
# pkgdb -F I executed but its showing some
Duplicated origin : multimedia/gstreamer -gstreamer-0.10.12
gstreamer80-0.8.12_2
Unregister any of them ?[no]
I enter no for 3/4 times for some duplicate origins
Then it asking for Stale dependency at-spi-1.18.1_1 -->xmlcatmgr-2.2
(textproc/xmlcatmgr) :
........................
............................
Install stale dependency ?[yes] y
but its failed showing that stop in /usr/ports/textproc/xmlcatmgr
(I tried to to deinstall and make reinstall textproc/xmlcatmgr many
times it also failed all the times )
Here I requesting anyone of you to help me to
1 provide the method to retrive the Desktop environment ? OR
2 Other wise how I can remove all the the things related to xserver (so
that I have to install the Gnome 2.18 again as I did was portinstall
/usr/ports/x11/gnome2 )
thanks in advance
Dhanesh
