#2 Not able to install PKG/not able to install mbmon

[root@freenas ~]# mount -uw / [root@freenas ~]# pkg -vv The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y Bootstrapping pkg please wait _http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org pkg-static: PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf is no longer supported. Convert to the new repository style. See pkg.conf(5) pkg-static: Cannot parse configuration file!

Error 127:
/usr/local/bin/mbmon: not found

This is what happen when i try to follow your step to install mbmon? I am missing something?

[Erik Kjellson]

Which FreeNAS version are you running?

Try this installation method that I used on previous FreeNAS versions:

1. Log in to the web gui on your FreeNAS unit.
2. Open the Shell
3. Get write permissions for the system disk by running
   mount -uw /
4. Install mbmon by running
   pkg_add -r xmbmon
5. Reset permissions for the system disk by running
   mount -ur /

Version im using : FreeNAS-9.2.1.5-RELEASE-x64

I have tried that method but result in a different error, below.

Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-st
able/Latest/xmbmon.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages

[Erik Kjellson]

that's weird...
I went to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ with my browser and it seems to be empty. That's weird.

My system (altough it's running version 9.3 of FreeNAS) is looking for packages in http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:9:amd64/latest/

Will installing xmbmon-205_14 manually be a good idea?

[Erik Kjellson]

sure, that should be ok i guess

[Anonymous]

Do you know how to install it through shell? is the command similar to your pakage?

[Erik Kjellson]

In shell go to the folder where you have the xmbmon package, then try running

pkg_add xmbmon-205_14.tbz

(i.e. no -r flag and full filename including extension)

[root@freenas /mnt/volume1/homenas]# pkg_add xmbmon-205_14.tar
tar: +CONTENTS: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
pkg_add: tar extract of /mnt/volume1/homenas/xmbmon-205_14.tar failed!
pkg_add: unable to extract table of contents file from '/mnt/volume1/homenas/xmb
mon-205_14.tar' - not a package?

For some reason i cant find "+contents" anywhere in pakage... did i download the wrong one?

[Erik Kjellson]

Oh, I thought you had found another place to download the package, it seems you have a tarball which need to be compiled.

Here is an archive I found for the package system, try downloading the package (precompiled) here: http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd64/packages-9.2-release/All/xmbmon-205_9.tbz
And run

pkg_add xmbmon-205_9.tbz

Hello Erik, is there any way that i can limit the print only for devices starting with ada , becasue its reading and putting in the list also the usb and cdroom and them have no temp to show. just dont wanna have the error shown.

[Erik Kjellson]

Sure, in freenas-tempreport.py at line 293 change

hdd_list = sorted(output.split(' '))

into

# hdd_list = sorted(output.split(' ')) # using both daX & adaX entries
hdd_list = re.findall(r'ada\d+', output) # using only the adaX entries

That should do it.

OK, now pkg exists. Did you add the repository as suggested by freenas-tempreport? What is the output from: pkg -vv
