I just tried freebsd-update -r 12.3-RELEASE upgrade from 11.4-RELEASE-p13 Then pkg upgrade It seemed to go though ok without error messages popping up. But after the required restart, I discovered that bind9 and mod_php had both been uninstalled, there was no version of php on the machine at...

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 running FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE and I need to disable the serial port on boot up as it's interrupting the boot process. I have a GPS module attached to the UART port which spews out data to the Pi every second or so. I tried disabling the port in /etc/ttys but that has no...

I have been trying to get devecot2-antispam to work with bogofilter but nothing seems to happen or appear in the logs when I drag from the Unsure folder to the inbox or Junk folder. I just don't see anything happening nothing in any logs. Bogofilter is working on the incoming emails, and...

I am trying to upgrade FreeBSD from 10.1-RELEASE-p10 to 10.2-RELEASE using freebsd-update -r 10.2-RELEASE upgrade and it all seems to go fine until the /etc merge where it then starts asking me to edit everything manually in /etc for a version control number difference eg. <<<<<< current...

I installed the latest clamav-milter from the ports collection /var/db/pkg/clamav-0.98.1. It runs okay, but when it finds a virus it's being quarantined into /var/spool/mqueue with all the other emails there, which is inconvenient. I googled and found that setting...

Do I need to select the SDL/X option if I am just wanting to run headless machines with a VNC console? Not running Windows guest, just Linux/BSD VMs mostly LAMP. I tried Virtualbox with phpVirtualbox, but it's really messy stuff everywhere, hard to get going, looking for something simpler.

What I did try, and it worked was grabbing the 9.0-RELEASE source instead. I was a bit hesitant as it was such a large jump from 8.2-RELEASE to 9.0-RELEASE, but all was fine. I didn't have to delete /usr/obj/*, it just worked first time, and the mergemaster was not too bad for such a jump. I...

I tried on two separate machines to upgrade from 8.2-RELEASE to the new 8.3-RELEASE by installing the 8.3-RELEASE source distribution. Normally I would use freebsd-update, but the broken merge function handling the cvs lines, drives me to despair, as I have several machines to update. When I...

I wish FreeBSD would do a Long Term Support (LTS) version every now and then with say 5 years of security updates. The estimated end of life on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE is just January 31, 2013 according to http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#sup

I find that when you do an upgrade, any hacked binaries get overwritten, mergemaster should point out any diffs. I discovered that telnetd had been deleted by the hacker, on the 3 machines concerned, I can't think why, perhaps the bot binary intercepts port 23? I will run it up on an isolated...

I think it might have been telnetd, I hadn't noticed the security advisory from Dec 2011, which is odd as I am on the mail list. I use rlogind only internally, ssh fills the logs with probe attempts. Upgrading the 7.2-RELEASE machine to 7.4-RELEASE will be easy, the 6.2-STABLE, 6.3-STABLE...

/var/db/pkg/apache-2.2.4_2 on two of them but I just realized the third machine didn't have Apache installed, so that kind of rules out apache. From rc.conf the processes that were common to all 3 bsnmpd_enable="YES" gateway_enable="YES" inetd_enable="YES" ntpdate_enable="YES"...

I just had 3 machines 6.2-STABLE, 6.3-STABLE, 7.2-RELEASE, all infected on the same day with a botnet. In the /tmp dir there were two abnormal files -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0B Mar 22 15:58 null -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 393K Mar 22 07:05 talkngbsd MD5 (talkngbsd) =...

Tried the 8.1-RELENG_8-20101202-JPSNAP CD on a new Mac Mini, it boots! However the installer can't find any hard drives to install on. This is the same problem the Linux kernels before 2.6.35 had, not talking to the MCP89 controller chip correctly. Unfortunately I don't know the specifics of the...

I tried that site the other day, it gave me an iso with Nov 3 kernel build and not the fix. Which version should I grab? Is RELENG_8_1 for amd64 appropriate. I think I tried HEAD last time.

This is good, I would like to try it out, which means I need a CURRENT bootable iso of some sort. Normally you could get daily snapshots from http://snapshots.us.freebsd.org but that site seems to be down. Does anyone know of another daily snapshot site?

Just tried the Nov 9.0-CURRENT snapshot and it's still freezing just after the acpi probe. If you turn off acpi it still crashes earlier on.

I have some old a.out FreeBSD binaries that I don't have the source for, that are running on a very old PII system that could fail any day. I would like to move them over to some new hardware, but FreeBSD 2.2.8 does not support modern hardware. So I figured that I could install FreeBSD...

Just to confirm that the same type of freezing (after the acpi0: <APPLE Apple00> on motherboard) occurs with the latest Mac Mini Server, and FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE No doubt the hardware has a lot in common with the latest Macbook here is some info on it: I would love to get FreeBSD running on...
