trying to install gnome2.

Actually am new to freebsd and I willing to learn I was
tryin to install
gnome2 on one of the test machines and when I try to start
it 

 

With a command startx this came up can any one help coz I ve
installed all
what is needed from my poind of view and I even enabled it
in etc/rc.conf 

 

 

/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name
"test.africaonline.com.na:0" in "list"
command

/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name
"test.africaonline.com.na:0" in "add"
command

 

/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2): 
no server "X"
in PATH

 

Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in
your path and

that "X" is a program or a link to the right type
of server

for your display.  Possible server names include:

 

    Xorg         X.Org displays

 

giving up.

/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  Connection refused (errno 61): 
unable to connect to
X server

/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server
error.

/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name
"test.africaonline.com.na:0" in "remove"
command

 

What should I do?

 

Thanks,

Check /etc/hosts. Make sure you have as follows:

[Your IP Address] test.africaonline.com.na 

For example, this is my /etc/hosts:

::1		localhost.izb.knu.ac.kr localhost
127.0.0.1	localhost.izb.knu.ac.kr localhost
155.230.157.159	viola.local	viola

If you execute: Xorg -configure
it will create an xorg.conf for you and place it in
/etc/X11
(se: man Xorg for more info)


Another, *great* tip, don't forget to read the
"bible",
the FreeBSD handbook.

Ananias, 

For install, at the command prompt type this command as
root: 

pkg_add -v -r gnome2-lite

If you encounter strange problems, then send email again to

It's very easy. That's

However! There is a caveat here.

I'd say, sure, use pkg_add at first, because it's simple.
However, bear in
mind that ports exist. And also bear in mind that you cannot
mix packages
and ports, unless you want an inconsistent system.

Ports are well worth learning. I remember when I started
using them, they
were confusing. But after I got used to them, I never, ever
used/use
anything other than ports. They start making sense after a
while ;)
