Re: Unhappy Xorg upgrade
I agree with all you say. This sort of thing is the achilles heel of ports. I'd like to see a beta port exist side by side with the old version, for massive ports like X, KDE, etc, until things stabilize.

The last time I had to use it, I found a mirror in Germany that worked, after a long search. The Xorg update was a minor disaster, and it's nobody's fault. More testing was needed on lots more systems and that can only really happen after committal. -- James Bailie http://www.mammothcheese.ca ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I had this problem. I corrected it by deinstalling ghostscript-gnu and installing ghostscript-gpl.

I used portupgrade to keep my ports current, but the source of problem continued to elude me. As a short term solution, I have ditched the native Firefox and installed linux-firefox. By creating symbolic links in /usr/local/lib/linux-firefox/plugins I was able to get the linux-flashplugin-7, linux acrobat7, and linux-realplayer plugins to work, without crashing the browser. YouTube works fine, but sound goes out of sync immediately, as it always did with that plugin. Haven't bothered yet to see if I can get Java working. -- James Bailie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mammothcheese.ca ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Firefox crashes on startup

There is likely a library mismatch somewhere which was not caught by the ports system. I recently upgraded to firefox 2.0 and she crashed on startup, but after invoking "portupgrade -R firefox" to force an upgrade of dependencies, all was well. So that may be the first thing to try. -- James Bailie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mammothcheese.ca ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
