This was the process:
1. Checkout base 11.0 releng
2. Build and install
3. Reboot
4. checkout latest port quarterly branch
5. rsync --verbose --archive --recursive --delete ${source}/ /usr/ports/
6. synth just-build ${home}/port.list
7. synth rebuild-repository
8. pkg update
9. pkg upgrade
10. fix/patch changes from UPDATING and the "spew" from pkg upgrade
11. reboot
12. login
13. startx ---> crash and burn
Now what part of that is so broken to result in a useless/broken desktop
system.
I would expect that to result in a working desktop, at the least.
Yes I understand if some app is broken that runs under lumina but I
fully expect lumina to just run and not just crash.
