similar to: wanting to pkg_add KDE/Gnome post-install

I'm running a new install of 4.8-RELEASE on i386. Running "pkg_add -r gnome2", the following errors are reported: (I've defined the BATCH environment variable).

Dear All , In sysinstall , there are menu items to install packages from release DVD . In bsdinstall , there is NO such package installation menu items . Another problem is there is no any available information about this subject in the Handbook installation pages ( at least I could not find any one one ) . Is there any such available information link , and is there any possibility to include

Shouldn''t pkg_add be using the -r option for package management? I worked around by forcing the client to use ports instead, but it stinks. Any thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Hi all, I have update recently to freebsd 9.1 via freebsd-update and I was quite happy with the process and the instructions on freebsd-handbook, I think well documented. But I would like to understand what is the best practice to update the ports too as I used the package tools (pkg_add -r) to add few package to the base install. Keeping in mind my server have disk space constrain (small disk

Hi, all, I just wanted to report that. I do not yet have a patch to suggest. nanobsd.sh cust_pkg() still tries to call pkg_add and fails when adding packages to the NANO_WORLD_DIR. tbz vs. txz ?

Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD and just installed 4.8 release. I want to upgrade this to stable. I have printed some of the pages out for makeworld and CVSUP, I am wondering what the best method for doing the updates are, downloading the individual packages and installing or using the CVSUP to do this? Currently I used mostly Red Hat Linux but have wanted to give this a try for some time

Hello, If anyone would like it I have provided a Dovecot 1.0 test61 port and package for FreeBSD 5.3 here. I made them for my own experimentation but thought they might be interesting to others I suppose. http://www.helenmarks.co.uk/~dom/dovecot/ These deviate from the stock test61 because I've updated and added a patch I wrote a long time ago for ioloop kqueue/kevent support in

Hi, Is there, on a intranet, any way to resolve the computername from its ip ? I have a setup where I know which users are on which ip, and I wan't to notify some events to some users with a "smbclient -M". But since I don't know the computername, I don't know any way to send the popups... thanks /torben t

Hi all, I''m using FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE. When I install a package via puppet, it seems to use the -STABLE branches instead of -RELEASE. I can use pkg_add -r on the command-line, which will use the -RELEASE branch and break the dependencies. One workaround is to change the $PACKAGESITE variable to "ftp://ftp.ch.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest/"

In the next month or two I've got to upgrade a number of servers that are currently on an EOL'd version of 4-STABLE. I foresee that I'll have very limited time to do full OS upgrades on these systems in the coming several years, so I want to make sure I bring them onto an extended-life branch. Right now 4.11 has the furthest projected EOL date (Jan 31 2007), and the projected EOL

I am attempting to setup Samba 3.0.10 on a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain. The problem I'm having is getting Samba to configure correctly to get the Kerberos library.

Hi all, I''m running Puppet on FreeBSD and recently I started building my own packages. I would like to set the PKGROOT variable on all hosts so that packages are fetched from my server instead of freebsd.org. Is it possible to set this with puppet? I''ve read the suggestion on Trac [1], and it solves the problem when puppet is run with an rc script, but it won''t work

Hey there, I'm looking for someone to implement each of the following: (1) Make pkg_add(1) not use system(3) to execute external programs to do things that it can implement internally (i.e. calling out to tar(1) is fine, calling out to mkdir(1) is not.) Alternately, rewrite pkg_add as a sh(1) shell script, with perhaps a minimal utility written in C (pkg_admin?) to muck with /var/db/pkg.
