The conduit port asked for a deinstall followed by a reinstall in gnome-desktop, which I promptly complied with. As was bound to happen, everything in gnome is now broken/paralysed. Being a gnomer, I do not want to abandon my gnome environment. Just to make sure before attempting recovery, will the following 2 steps generally be able to fix things for me : #1) pkgdb -aF #2) portupgrade -L /var/gnome2-upgrade-logs/portupgrade-%s::%s.log -l \ /root/gnome2-portupgrade-results.txt -vrR -x gnome-desktop gnome-desktop -- Thank you and Regards Manish Jain invalid.pointer@gmail.com +91-99830-62246 NB : Laast year I kudn't spell Software Engineer. Now I are won.
