Because it's arguably easier (although not as transparent) to manage than plaintext conf files for storing things like cookies, history, bookmarks, website preferences, etc. and surely more efficient for storing thousands of cached files as compared to having hundreds of subdirectories and...
Then it could simply be a loose cable and nothing to do with the disk itself. Disconnecting and later reconnecting the disk as you did may have fixed the issue.
But I'll repeat myself: do run SMART diagnostics. Something may always come up.
There's not much to it. Boot into single-user mode run fsck. Personally I prefer to run it manually on each partition (e.g. fsck -y /dev/ada0s1a).
If you still have problems after that, run SMART diagnostics.
In Linux there's no clear separation between the base system and third-party software because as far as a distribution maker is concerned, everything from the boot manager to the web browser is essentially third-party.
FreeBSD too has (and always had) third-party software outside of /usr/local...
You always install as root (whether you're currently logged in as root or not). That's not the problem.
"can't start" doesn't tell much. Any particular error on the console from which you're trying to run it?
Yes, it's the same syntax for version 2, which has been around for two decades since the late nineties. Some modules have been deprecated over the years, but nothing crucial. Plus fvwm is very fault-tolerant and will not crash due to errors in the configuration. It will only report them quietly...
Same here. In the many years of using FreeBSD I've never experienced anything like this neither in console mode nor under X. And I've used all types of keyboards from DIN to PS/2 to USB. The only type I've never used is the wireless keyboard.
Have you tried another keyboard?
Hello and welcome on board!
Have you tried following the instructions included in the Handbook?
I don't use either one of these two, so any help I can offer in that matter will be limited to just this.
Make a list of configuration directories and files.
Use the installation media to generate a checksum for each of these files.
Generate the checksum for these files on your live system.
Use something like diff to check a) which files exist on your system but not on the installation media, and b)...
In all fairness, FreeBSD has only one ports tree.
"crashes" is very vague. What exactly does it say if you launch these programs from a terminal?
There may be a reason other than Wayland here. I notice all of these are GTK-based. Give www/otter-browser a try. It's Qt5-based, so it will rule...
