I am requesting specific information here, so please respect this by NOT doing the following: 1) I do not want to read any me too replies in this thread, as they are pointless and a waste of space, not to meantion a waste of everyones time. 2) I am not interested in work arounds, just a specific fix to the issue that I am having. I have done a search on google, and according to the search on the mailing list here, using time, and gnome there are no results. I am having issues specifically with the Time and Date configuration in gnome 2.22.3 on freebsd 7.0-RELEASE-p2 What is happening, is if you click on System>Administration>Time and date, when it comes up all options are greyed out. This means that from within gnome, you are not able to set it up to sync with a time server, or even manually change the time and date. This was working, though with some of the updates to the ports collection I am not exactly sure when it stopped working. I have used cvsup to update the ports collection and have also used the standard-supfile to update the src list (leaving it at src-all). I have removed gnome by: pkg_deinstall -R x11/gnome2 and also by using: pkg_deinstall -Rf x11/gnome2 I have used pkgdb -F to fix any inconsistancies. I have deleted the .gconf .gconfd .gnome2 .gnome2_private directories. No matter what I have tried the issue still remains. Is there something else I need to delete in order to purge all of gnome, and start totally from scratch? I have followed ALL of the faq for de-installing gnome. What I want is to be able to adjust the time and date from within gnome as you are meant to be able to. Yes I am fully aware of the command line options. This is a work around and NOT a fix.
