I think I had a similar problem once, check the permissions of your .cache directory and delete the mozilla directory inside it.

Well, trying to upgrade from 14.3 to 15 went flawlessly on my test laptop and in my test VM, so I was confident enough to proceed on my main system... On which I had to rollback because of a serious regression in handling nvme suspend/resume...

Yes

They're both -esr. What I'll do is try this tomorrow. I'll try -esr and whatever the latest firefox is. I don't mix pkgs and ports; too much trouble. Thanks for the help.

Calling printf in a signal handler is also illegal (because it can call malloc(3)). Try a plain write(2).

Yes, I've thought about it, but I haven't bothered to do it yet, even though it doesn't take much time. Thanks for the tip, friend.

Your postings mix up firefox and firefox-esr too much, I can't follow. What happens (copy and paste) when you deinstall firefox and then `pkg install` it?

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The second BETA build for the FreeBSD 15.0 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv7, aarch64, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64 architectures are FreeBSD mirror sites...

Well, typing reconfigure in wpa_cli seems to help - apparently wpa_supplicanti re-reads /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, and that forces a re-connection to my router, and then it actually works fine, browser reacts, ping works... This has me wondering...

Thanks for the help, btw.

It will be 15.1, why would I rush things? Always did it that way, never failed (potentially a thing yet to come). Keeping a keen eye on the forums used to help. To each, their own.

I dyed a Model M's keycaps and though I was a pro-typer and could handle it; turned out I rely on keycaps more than I thought :p (I bought cheap stickers and put em on eventually)

Nice choice of DokuWiki! You might be able to hide the doku.php part with something webserver-specific; here's how I hosted it on FreeBSD with nginx (I have DokuWiki setting userewrite at .htaccess)

I am creating a French-speaking wiki on BSD UNIX in general and more specifically FreeBSD You can find my Wiki at this address: Wiki Ordunix.net And for the BSD part: BSD For the history of BSD: History of BSD And finally, regarding FreeBSD...

So, that's a fail in the OS running the port's install scripts? Or damaged scripts, as in corrupted downloaded port?install scripts?

The 3 yearly BSD conferences are actually a traveling foodie club with a side hustle in making an OS. It's all about the people and the food.

All my videos are in French since this thread is dedicated to French speakers but no worries I will indicate it on my next videos on FreeBSD.

Nice! I have been running OpenSimulator on FreeBSD for a few years in Grid mode with out any issues. There are a few things that need to be done in the libraries. I'll check out this viewer port soon. Thank you!

I run updated versions of any OS as soon as an image is available! (I used 14.2-R a few days early :p) I went to 14.2 and 14.3 as soon as they were available and had no problems. I'm not aware of any 15 features I'd benefit from hugely so I'd...

The compiler as such is fine. It is the ecosystem with library distribution that draws criticism by some/many.

That's an incomplete install. It aborted before setting permissions on files.

Why isn't my /var cleared?

Just wanna drop a thanks - the MX Mechancial is exactly what I was looking for, I like it very much...

And seeing what both vmisev and Jose are saying, I think more and more that I'm giving up on getting X working on bhyve. I'm a bit impressed with myself that I managed to get my quick guide done. :)

Perhaps. I omitted the classic 'Programming Perl' book because half the book was functions that are basically c-library or system call wrappers. But K&R doesn't have a voluminious and ever growing library, and the C library itself has not...

`ls -l /usr/local/bin/firefox`?

/var is never wiped. I have never seen a Unix like do that. /var/run is. All the SQL databases are in /var/db for crying out loud. The only way that makes /var special is that the amount of space needed can var considerably, and it needs to be...

Maybe I wasn't clear but I'm leaving 15.0 for good, both branches have this bug that's just too critical for me.

Well, let's not forget that these "<xyz> the language" books contain ever growing libraries. The Common Lisp standard is large, although the set of language semantics is smaller than most other languages. But there;s an extensive library which...

I'm having similar thoughts for post 15.x or 16.x (since pkgbase is still optional for now). What's the point of using FreeBSD over Linux if it's going to be 'more like' Linux, but not actually Linux? I've gone to great lengths avoiding Linux...

Yeah, and you'll be in the 5% of Gentoo users that actually track stable. Been there, done that.

speaking as a trans femme, the most trans feature of the ARM architecture is that the program counter can be addressed like any other register. we will not elaborate on this.

If you don’t want to compile latest pkgs and want to save time with installing bin ones, check Gentoo Binary Host Quickstart and Binary package guide. Don't use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" in /etc/portage/make.conf

I want all the time I wasted keeping my Gentoo server updated back! Seriously, though, if there's one thing that's true about installing and maintaining a Gentoo host is that it's neither quick nor easy. Just about the only thing I miss is the...

Lee Smith and Arthur Norman:

You're probably going to have better luck asking on the the first one's Github. There's no way that I can find to contact any sort of community for Grafana.

Good catch. According to hier.

Is /var the correct place for the package database? Maybe not. Here's my thinking. On one hand, if the package database is lost, the system can not be upgraded, meaning it becomes unmaintained, meaning it will need to be reinstalled soon. One...

Dood's 81. Let him have his Odin sleep already.

First edition of the The Java Programming Language was 333 pages. The fourth, and likely last is 928. Talk about foreshadowing what would happen to the language 😞

The compiler as such is fine. It is the ecosystem with library distribution that draws criticism by some/many.

I think the language itself has some problems. There is an old rule of thumb that states that the practical, engineering usefulness of a programming language (whatever it's theoretical merits) is inversely proportional to the number of pages in...

AFAIK, maybe ‘nightly’ is fine, but more than 40% of their pkgs use RUF, so compiler/language have some miles and miles to go before they get to be standardized, which IMHO should be requirement to be accepted and used in the production. Please...
