Solved Thunar was removed after the last pkg upgrade.

judd · Thursday at 11:33 PM

Besides Thunar in XFCE, after the upgrade the wallpaper disappeared as well, which would be the least of the problems, but the file manager disappeared.
I tried to install it via ports, but with no positive result:

How should I go about getting a file manager back on my XFCE system?

Thank you.

Check /var/cache/pkg
If there is thunar pkg you can install it: pkg install /var/cache/pkg/thunar-...

When I can't open thunar in graphical form and search in /var/cache, by console I get this:

Code:

 % sudo pkg install /var/cache/pkg/thunar

thunar, xfce and xfce-desktop are gone!
I was able to recover it by building xfce from ports.
But is this normal?!?!
So I quit using Linux because of these behaviors and got hit again with FreeBSD?!
what else did I lose with this latest update?
And once it's gone it will never return until you're aware of what you have lost and reinstall it once available or from port build... it's gone!
Sorry for my comments but I really got pissed off, I also lost ristretto and whatever software I will find later.
Edit:
FreeCAD also gone, surprise!
Edit... again:
vscode gone too! this is so bad!

I'm also at a loss with XFCE, the only thing that doesn't work for me is Thunar, I don't know how to continue ...

Not just 'thunar' there will be full-named package like

Code:

thunar-4.20.1.pkg@                           
thunar-4.20.1~84736792aa.pkg

Yes I know, but I don't get anything in /var/cache or I am typing it wrong in console ... I don't know...

I was able to recover that with building xfce from ports.

I can only believe that something got wrong with ports software!

I'm already afraid of breaking everything by compiling from ports ...

just don't
that's what "they" do to make it available, right?
you'll be building the software you're installing not the kernel

rmomota · Friday at 12:42 AM

vscode takes hours to build, I'm really pissed off!!!
just let me feel like and consider this is a test to my consciousness.
just keep calm and zen like

It can be a drag, but building from source definitely has its advantages. One of which being control: you're in full control over everything and that can be a rewarding task. For for building... you could consider using devel/ccache; a caching option for the build process. It can cause some issues, sure, but also speed things up.

As for Thunar... I'm on 14.2 myself (but don't use binary packages). Even so....

Code:

$ pkg search thunar
thunar-4.20.1                  Xfce file manager
thunar-archive-plugin-0.5.3    Archive plugin for the Thunar File Manager
thunar-media-tags-plugin-0.5.0 Media tags plugin
thunar-vcs-plugin-0.3.0        Version Control System plugin for Thunar
Press any key to continue...
$ grep url /etc/pkg/Free*
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
Press any key to continue...

It seems to be fully there right now.

Seems like ShelLuser over-estimated how much OP knows about pkg(8) and ports.

To start, devel/ccache is only relevant if one were using Poudriere (Which OP is clearly not using).

judd said:
% sudo pkg install /var/cache/pkg/thunar

Incorrect usage of pkg install. If you want to install a package from /var/cache/pkg/, you use pkg add. pkg installalways looks in a remote repo.

I'd suggest simply installing Thunar again with

Code:

# pkg install thunar

Of course, this command needs to be run as root. And it should pull in all the dependencies.

Well, this is why I don't trust pkg-upgrade. An awful lot of details have to line up so that it runs correctly.

Thunar is not the only one who is ready to retire. Here is the my full list.

Saved by BE. Guys, try not to get too concrete and deviate from traditions. Today I will start building the system from scratch. From the source code. I am even more ready to spend time on reassemblies, but completely move away from binary updates. In the neighboring branches, astyle wrote that LibreOffice is assembled in 20 hours. I am ready to assemble in 25.

To start, devel/ccache is only relevant if one were using Poudriere (Which OP is clearly not using).

That is not entirely true. There's a reason why ccache can set up compiler links, or why it provides a specific build target which you can add to /etc/make.conf; thus setting it up globally.

As for the rest: good call, I definitely overlooked a few things here.

I'd suggest simply installing Thunar again with
# pkg install thunar

That's what I'm trying to say, Thunar is not found:

Code:

# pkg install thunar
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'thunar' have been found in the repositories
#

Code:

judd@freebsd:~ % pkg search thunar
judd@freebsd:~ %

Could someone give me a hand, give me a clue how to reinstall thunar ?

Thanks.

Well, I had forgotten that I can install other file managers, and I did install another one like PcmanFm.
Thanks to all the contributors to this thread.

Hello,

I see the same thing judd does ( which is nothing from 'pkg search thunar' ):

Code:

PredatorII:~ # pkg --version
2.1.0
PredatorII:~ # pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
PredatorII:~ # pkg search thunar
PredatorII:~ # uname -v
FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC
PredatorII:~ #

A manual install attempt resulted in:

Code:

PredatorII:~ # pkg add /var/cache/pkg/thunar-4.20.1.pkg | tee -a /Logs/Packages/thunar_pkgadd_`date +%Y%m%d`.txt
Installing thunar-4.20.1...
`-- Installing xfce4-tumbler-4.20.0...
|   `-- Installing libgepub-0.6.0_5...
|   | `-- Installing webkit2-gtk3-2.34.6_10...
pkg: Missing shlib dependency: libicudata.so.74
Failed to install the following 1 package(s): /var/cache/pkg/thunar-4.20.1.pkg

PCMan-FM and Dolphin seem to still work. However, I use Thunar and would like to continue doing so.

It appears that building the thunar port is the recommended course of action. Is this correct?
For years I have seen posts stating that packages and ports should not be mixed on a system. I have been very good about adhering to this. I rely on packages for this and another system.

How should this be handled in a personal environment (this computer)?
How should this be handled in a production environment (two at work)?

I get what you get:

Once again don't use pkg-install on a local file! RTFM! install is for remote repos only, add is for local files only! This difference really matters here.

For pkg-add, it did spit out a very meaningful troubleshooting line that was fortunately included in the screenshot:
pkg: Missing shlib dependency: libicudata.so.74

pkg-add will limit itself to what was found in /var/cache/pkg/, and will stop with an error if the local cache on your machine does not have the dependency. Resolving that is relatively easy - gotta figure out which package provides that missing dependency. Once that gets resolved, then the dependency resolution will allow you to install Thunar.

But yeah, pkg repo infrastructure is a mess if even legitimate commands like pkg search thunar return nothing for several users. It was working fine before the upgrade to pkg 2.0.x series.

So, my suggestion to everyone is: Please read the manuals (pkg(8)) and report the errors in as much detail as possible. It's easier to help if there's an obvious deviation from the manual. OP actually provides very good details on the errors, so some soltuions and courses of action are immediately obvious. (My personal conclusion is to switch to ports and be ready to spend a few days compiling your way into a usable desktop).
