i googled the error and got that. so i tried switching servers and it timed out with the error ssh: connect to host mirror.sg.depaul.edu port 22: connection timed out cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) |

Again, you haven't provided any information about which servers you have already tried. Without any additional information, try another.

i tried both ny servers then the chicago and toronto server. all of them are doing it.
i386 dell vostro a860 laptop. jk the toronto is giving me a expand-modules with no arguments message. |

Do you have some sort of NAT'ted firewall?
|
|
|||
nope, just my router flashed with dd-wrt.
but nope. |
|

If you are getting the same error over & over, you may want to consider taking it temporarily out of your configuration.

i think im going to reinstall openbsd because i decided to reboot, first reboot i got some error saying to do a trace and a ps and send that info w/e idc.
second it got to logi nscreen and wouldn't let me type. |

Most folks follow FAQ 5, but the definitive system build instructions are in the release(8) man page. There, it shows the kernel build being done by a normal user, but it shows the kernel install and the userland/xenocara builds being done with a blend of sudo and su. |

How can I tell if it was successful?
The only noticeable difference is in uname -a output shows "GENERIC#0" (im not looking at it but i think that's what it says D:" |
|

If you can reboot & the system doesn't crash, then this is a good indication that you may have built the kernel correctly.

OpenBSD 4.4-stable (GENERIC) #0 thanks for your easy help, the fellas at #openbsd on freenode are quite less helpful. when i try to install opera with ports it stalls after it gets to 100%, don't know the reason why but I guess i'll have to find an alternative. (its not just opera, it did it for xfce4 too but i can just use pkg_add for it, opera i don't think it's on any package lists right?) Last edited by ax0; 16th April 2009 at 03:14 AM. |

Opera cannot be distributed as a package due to licensing. But it is available as a "binary port" as it is a closed source application. The port merely places it in a package for install. (All ports build packages.) I'm going to assume that because you are seeing a percentage complete, you have reached the point where the port is in its "make install" phase, and is running pkg_add(8) for you. You might be able to obtain more information by manually using pkg_add -v. The package can be found under /usr/ports/packages/<arch>/all/. Last edited by jggimi; 16th April 2009 at 11:44 AM.

So, I decided to follow a firefox flash tut which has you install opera-flash and then it installs opera as a dependancy.. and that worked.
and idk if that's the case cause i left it there for a while, and when i control+c it wont exit i have to exit the terminal completely. i left it there for about an hour and it didn't do anything. |

In general, we don't suggest following tutorials because:
If you are in serious need of Flash, OpenBSD may not be the best operating system for your situation. Some third-party applications such as gnash kinda sorta work, but it is not guaranteed to work with newer Flash versions. To search for what alternatives can be found in the packages/ports system, use the OpenPorts Website: http://openports.se/search.php?so=flash |

The same procedure is used for dependencies as well as the "calling" package. So, I will guess that whatever the problem was, it was transitory.
While I understand your complaint, I cannot tell, from the information you've supplied, why the initial installation attempt hung. There are diagnostic tools that you might have used -- and because the pkg* tools are written in perl, even perl debugging traces -- but as you now have it installed, I guess it's moot. Should you have problems with future package installations, start with pkg_add -v, then consider using top, systat, .... even perl -d if used carefully. This last is described well in perldebtut(1). |

All I did was cd /usr/ports/emulators/fedora make install clean then i went to the opera-flash port, installed that and it worked. the hanging was when trying to install the opera port.. oops, now that I think of it maybe I needed to install the fedora emulator port because opera is linux version? |
