You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Thread starter onederer Start date May 6, The BSD ran fine. I updated it it took three days! I then installed the applications that were needed lots of compilation. Again, three days passed by. I was left with the tool bar at the bottom, which seemed to be fully functional. Applications will work, but there is no desktop wallpaper , and some applications will not work anymore.
I am really looking for a cure, since unlike Linux with ready-made binary packages, BSD does it more like Gentoo Linux, and compiles from scratch, most of the applications, or updates, or upgrades. And that takes a very long time! I'd hate to have to re-install that OS from the beginning again. I really need to get KDE back up and running again. If not, I'll have to dump that fine OS because of a lot of lost time due to compilations.
Anyone know how to revive KDE to a healthy form again? I see a lot of kde 4 packages available for FreeBSD. Kde 4. I haven't installed it yet but did see it on the menus when I installed Gnome 2. Reply to your question, "why not PCBsd?
Refer to www. When tracking down bugs it is important to know which versions of the source code have been used to create the system exhibiting an issue. FreeBSD provides version information compiled into the kernel. The git rev-list command is used to find the n-number corresponding to a Git hash.
Usually this number is not all that important. However, when bug fixes are committed, this number makes it easy to quickly determine whether the fix is present in the currently running system. Developers will often refer to the hash of the commit or provide a URL which has that hash , but not the n-number since the hash is the easily visible identifier for a change while the n-number is not.
Security advisories and errata notices will also note an n-number, which can be directly compared against your system. When you need to use shallow Git clones, you cannot compare n-numbers reliably as the git rev-list command counts all the revisions in the repository which a shallow clone omits.
Updating FreeBSD by compiling from source offers several advantages over binary updates. Code can be built with options to take advantage of specific hardware. Parts of the base system can be built with non-default settings, or left out entirely where they are not needed or desired. The build process takes longer to update a system than just installing binary updates, but allows complete customization to produce a tailored version of FreeBSD.
This is a quick reference for the typical steps used to update FreeBSD by building from source. Later sections describe the process in more detail.
Any manual steps that must be performed before or after an update are described in this file. The preferred method of updating this source is through the Git version control system. Verify that the source code is under version control:. The update process can take some time if the directory has not been updated recently.
After it finishes, the source code is up to date and the build process described in the next section can begin. If the output says fatal: not a git repository , the files there are missing or were installed with a different method. A new checkout of the source is required. The Release version plus only critical security and bug fix patches.
This branch is recommended for most users. The Release version plus all additional development on that branch. For example, software compiled to run on FreeBSD STABLE branches occasionally have bugs or incompatibilities which might affect users, although these are typically fixed quickly. The latest unreleased development version of FreeBSD.
Determine which version of FreeBSD is being used with uname 1 :. That path is used when checking out the source:. The world , or all of the operating system except the kernel, is compiled. This is done first to provide up-to-date tools to build the kernel. Then the kernel itself is built:. This can speed up later builds by avoiding recompiling code that has not changed. To force a clean rebuild of everything, use cleanworld before starting a build:.
Increasing the number of build jobs on multi-core processors can improve build speed. Determine the number of cores with sysctl hw. Processors vary, as do the build systems used with different versions of FreeBSD, so testing is the only sure method to tell how a different number of jobs affects the build speed. For a starting point, consider values between half and double the number of cores. The number of jobs is specified with -j. A buildworld must be completed if the source code has changed.
After that, a buildkernel to build a kernel can be run at any time. To build just the kernel:. Sometimes it is useful or necessary to build a custom kernel, adding or removing device drivers or options to fit a specific need.
For example, someone developing a small embedded computer with severely limited RAM could remove unneeded device drivers or options to make the kernel slightly smaller. Link the kernel config file into the conf directory. If that directory is deleted or overwritten, the kernel config can be re-linked into the new one. After the buildworld and buildkernel steps have been completed, the new kernel and world are installed:.
A few final tasks complete the update. Any modified configuration files are merged with the new versions, outdated libraries are located and removed, then the system is restarted.
It manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount of user intervention, in contrast to mergemaster 8 's interactive prompts. In general, etcupdate 8 does not need any specific arguments for its job.
There is however a handy in between command for sanity checking what will be done the first time etcupdate 8 is used:. If etcupdate 8 is not able to merge a file automatically, the merge conflicts can be resolved with manual interaction by issuing:. When switching from mergemaster 8 to etcupdate 8 , the first run might merge changes incorrectly generating spurious conflicts. To prevent this, perform the following steps before updating sources and building the new world:.
If a file must be manually merged, an interactive display allows the user to choose which portions of the files are kept. See mergemaster 8 for more information. Programs which were still using those old libraries will stop working when the library has been deleted.
These programs must be rebuilt or replaced after deleting the old libraries. When multiple machines need to track the same source tree, it is a waste of disk space, network bandwidth, and CPU cycles to have each system download the sources and rebuild everything. The solution is to have one machine do most of the work, while the rest of the machines mount that work via NFS.
This section outlines a method of doing so. First, identify a set of machines which will run the same set of binaries, known as a build set.
Each machine can have a custom kernel, but will run the same userland binaries. From that set, choose a machine to be the build machine that the world and kernel are built on. Ideally, this is a fast machine that has sufficient spare CPU to run make buildworld and make buildkernel.
Select a machine to be the test machine , which will test software updates before they are put into production. This must be a machine that can afford to be down for an extended period of time. It can be the build machine, but need not be. That means that the build machine must build all the parts of the base system that any machine in the build set is going to install. On the build machine, build the kernel and world as described in Updating FreeBSD from Source , but do not install anything on the build machine.
Instead, install the built kernel on the test machine. Then, run shutdown now to go to single-user mode in order to install the new kernel and world and run mergemaster as usual.
When done, reboot to return to normal multi-user operations. After verifying that everything on the test machine is working properly, use the same procedure to install the new software on each of the other machines in the build set. The same methodology can be used for the ports tree. Book menu. Table of Contents Synopsis FreeBSD Update Updating the Documentation Set Tracking a Development Branch Tracking for Multiple Machines.
