#RoboNuggie #FreeBSD #CDE I was requested by a good friend and subscriber, pianokeyjoe, to make a video on how to install CDE onto FreeBSD 12.1 - but the caveat is that it will only work on the 32-bit OS only - as CDE is not in the ports tree or pkg in the 64-bit version of FreeBSD. There is No Commentary on this video as I am ill with the Flu :-( ------------------------------------------------------- Here are the instructions as provided by PianoKeyJoe: "FIRST, do your freebsd 12.1 install as per usual,NEXT, install the following packages AFTER REBOOTING, just after freebsd-update fetch install(this command ended funky in VB, so switch to ttyv1 and relogin as root, and reboot). pkg install xorg git iconv bdftopcf libXp libXScrnSaver ksh93 open-motif tcl86 xorg-fonts xorg-fonts-100dpi (git is optional if you KNOW how to compile cde from source and want to clone the source from github). Now the NEXT STEP BEFORE you do ANYTHING ELSE is: add the following lines to rc.conf rpcbind_enable="YES" and then inetd_enable="YES", and save that file. NOW reboot, for the second time in a virgin install of freebsd. Ok, now log into root at the console and pkg install cde. This will fetch cde desktop 2.3.0_2 and tcl8.5(doh!!!). After cde installs and tcl installs you get tcl depreciation messages and finally you get the following POST CDE install instructions: Dont sysrc anything here.. You already did it with editing rc.conf before installing cde .. DO, start rpcbind service and inetd service if not already started with: service rpcbind start && service inetd start .. Do not enable or start dtspc or dtcms,these do NOT work in Freebsd 11.3/12.1!!! Now do the: ln -s /usr/local/dt/bin/Xsession ~/.Xsession for BOTH root user AND local or normal user or users!!! NOW, type edit /etc/rc.local and add the line /usr/local/dt/bin/dtlogin and save the file. NOW reboot the system..." ------------------------------------------------------- Music: "Power Packed Alliance" - AceMan ------------------------------------------------------- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRd1euHzYRo
