freebsd 6.1
xorg 6.9
Hey, I have gnome 2.12
trying to upgrade to 2.16
i tried everything from pkg_add (obviously deleting the old
one first)
to portmanager
to portinstall
to port upgrade
and building it from the ports tree..
things fail.... one major problem I was having was gail...
but i think I
have beaten that because now i get another error, cant
remember it at
the moment
but its irrelevant. I have broken my current gnome
installation...
when i startx... it will load all my panels, and any app
will run fine,
but the *desktop* its self is missing, including the
background image.
If i go into Desktop Background, it will load, but still I
cant right
click on the desktop, and there are no icons, and no way to
add them
(they are however still listed in my usr/home/dan/Desktop )
I've managed to break all kinds of things, Realplyer wont
work now,
because I unistalled my old linux base with portmaster
for example..... does anybody know of a good way to WIPE
gnome, and
rebuild it and its Dependant ports from the ground up?
I dont want to re-install my freebsd, as Ive worked very
hard to get
everything from my M-audio sound card, my custom kernel, and
giant fat32 drives, to my apache server etc etc etc, im sure
you are all
in the same boat if you are using freebsd
thanks
