Hi,

$ uname -a
FreeBSD freebsd-963 9.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 21 21:22:37 ADT 2013 root@ericbsd.ghostbsd.org:/usr/obj/i386.i386/usr/src/sys/GHOSTBSD i386

After trying bxpkg and liking it - then it suddenly became flaky and started closing down unexpectedly. So I tried

root@freebsd-963 /u/h/user1# pkg search drpython

the system came back and said it was installing installing a new pkg system and it recommended after that to do: pkg2ng

I did root@freebsd-963 /u/h/user1# pkg2ng, and it did a lot of processing for a while ...then I did

root@freebsd-963 /u/h/user1# pkg search python
No valid repository found.

Ho do I fix?

Try

I command to use pkg_add -r on GhostBSD 3.5. Can you give me the output of?

Do you have that directory /etc/pkg? And do you have file in it named FreeBSD.conf?
