I had the same problem. An arrogant person at the freebsd forum said I had = a lack of resolving, but I didn't know what he was talking about. Someone s= aid to edit /etc/rc.conf but that didn't help because it was a read only fi= le. I reinstalled freebsd all over again and that time it worked. You may need = to try that. However I haven't yet been able to get it running, and I have = the popuplar problem of mouse and keyboard not working with xorg. It's pret= ty discouraging. So all I can suggest is installing the operating system again. =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Steve --- El mi=E9, 21/10/09, Jerry <gesbbb@yahoo.com> escribi=F3: De: Jerry <gesbbb@yahoo.com> Asunto: Re: (no subject) Gnome Para: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Fecha: mi=E9rcoles, 21 de octubre, 2009 01:17 On Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:36:27 +0200 Lokadamus Lokadamus <Lokadamus@gmx.de> replied: >nicholas addei schrieb: >> please am not able to install gnome on freebsd 7.2,after loging in >> as root >> >> would appreciate your help. >> >> >> >> :49:13 UTC 2009 >> root@walker.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC=A0 i=20 >> >> 86 >>=A0=A0=A0 >Normaly you do >pkg_add -r gnome > >But know i get an error back. >pkg_add -nr gnome >Error: FTP Unable to get=20 >ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/g= nome.tbz:=20 >File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) >pkg_add: unable to fetch=20 >'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/= gnome.tbz'=20 >by URL > >With >cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 >make install >will it work, but some hours/ days need to install. > >An old 1GHz System need 3 days for KDE 3 ;). > >http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/packages-using.html >http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-using.html Running as root: =A0=A0=A0 pkg_add -nr gnome2 It works here.
