ran make deinstall in /usr/ports/multimedia/ How do I undo this?
I did something quite stupid,
I ran sudo make deinstall in /usr/ports/multimedia when I thought I was in a subdirectory of multimedia. Now when I log in the gnome settings deamon wont run, and exits with error 1. Also the mixer is gone and the appearance of the windows etc in gnome is very twm-like. Is there a way to undo this? |

How about trying:
Code:
pkgdb -F

True, but those should be easier to spot when the OP tries to use them and nothing happens.

thanks for the tip about pkgdb -F, but there were no problems with any missing dependencies etc, only something about deleted ca-roots certificates.
From what I can see in /var/db/ports/ the only ones I had there were mplayer mencoder and xine. But the real problem is with gnome-setting-daemon, whatever that is. Is that what is causing the appearance and language sound etc problems? There is somthing mentioned that one cannot run gnome-settings-daemon one should reinstall /sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter2 to fix this? What are your thoughts on this, when I try to run the settings-daemon I get Code:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgstaudio-0.10.so.0" not found, required by "gnome-settings-daemon" ps. Interesting to note for me is that the entries in /var/db/ports are not removed when you run "make deinstall". What is the difference between "make deinstall" and "pkg_delete" when it comes to ports.

gnome-settings-daemon does control the appearance and such.
I believe that library is part of gstreamer. Upon rethinking this, I don't thing that make deinstall will remove anything from pkgdb although it does remove it from /var/db/pkg. Someone can correct me on this, I been using portinstall for too long.

Might I ask if you know what I should do? I have tried to reinstall gnome-settings-daemon, but I run into problems with that it requires never versions of everything installed. Initially I reinstalled what it complained about but now it got to a point where it seems like it might be easier to reinstall gnomecontrolcenter or whatever. Heck it migh be easier to save all important files and reinstall freebsd all together.

/var/db/pkg is the "installed packages database" that lists which ports/packages are installed, their files, their dependencies, etc. /var/db/ports is the "port configuration database" that stores the selections you make in the OPTIONS screens when installing ports. You can view the selection by running make showconfig in a port directory. And you can delete them with make rmconfig. And you can change them using make config. These are not deleted when you remove a port/package because then you would lose your settings when upgrading ports. |

I tried portupgrade -frRPP gnome-control-center, but I still cannot run gnome-settings-daemon I get /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgnomekbd.so.1" not found, required by "gnome-settings-daemon"
Perhaps gnome-settings-daemon is not in the upwards dependencies of gnome-control-center. I could try the portupgrade -frRPP with gnome-settings-daemon, but it took so long several hours with the control-center, that I do not want to do it unless I have some clue that it is the correct thing to do. |
