tips for FreeBSD

|
|
* 1. on FreeBSD 7.2 for the amd64 platform, running `pkg_add -r` causes the following error:
|
|
{{{
|
|
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-stable/Latest/*.tbz: Not Found
|
|
}}}
|
|
a workaround is to use `sysinstall` and choose `Configure` and `Packages` and choose your appropriate FTP/HTTP option, and select and install packages there
|
|
* 2. when you run `pkg_add core-7.x-3.4.tbz` you receive the following messages:
|
|
{{{
|
|
pkg_add: warning: package 'core-7.x-3.4' requires 'bash-3.2.25', but 'bash-4.0.10_2' is installed
|
|
pkg_add: warning: package 'core-7.x-3.4' requires 'tcl-8.4.16,1', but 'tcl-8.4.19_2,1' is installed
|
|
pkg_add: warning: package 'core-7.x-3.4' requires 'tk-8.4.16,2', but 'tk-8.4.19_2,2' is installed
|
|
}}}
|
|
This is OK, the warnings may be safely ignored. CORE is not particular about which version of bash, Tcl, or Tk are used. An earlier version number is used in the package file so that CORE will install on older FreeBSD 7.0 systems.
|
|
* 3. Keep your FreeBSD packages up-to-date:
|
|
{{{
|
|
pkg_add -r portupgrade
|
|
# use -ai to request confirmations
|
|
portupgrade -a
|
|
}}}
|
|
* 4. Installing X11 Xorg after a fresh install; reboot following these steps or follow instructions [http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q1 here]:
|
|
{{{
|
|
pkg_add -r gnome2
|
|
# now add gnome_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
|
|
}}}
