Thanks, if I get or see a response on github, I'll post here. BTW, I keep meaning to compliment you on your icon. Is that any sort of special breed of cat, or just a good looking domestic shorthair? The issue wasn't fixed, but I wound up using traditional freebsd-update to upgrade the machine...

Trying to pkgbasify another machine. I download pkgbasify.lua but when I run it I get this. /usr/libexec/flua: ./pkgbasify.lua:82: attempt to index a nil value (local 'branch') stack traceback: ./pkgbasify.lua:82: in upvalue 'base_repo_url' ./pkgbasify.lua:113: in upvalue...

Looks to be a very nice keyboard for the price (around $22 USD).

That fixed it, thank you. I ran cp -R /usr/src/share/keys/pkgbase-15 /usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15. I then edited /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf so that that the fingerprints line read fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15", and ran the line the handbook suggests, the env...

I have a pkgbasifyed 14.3-p6 system. I tried to upgrade following the handbook. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#pkgbase-major-zfs My /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf reads FreeBSD-base: { url = "pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_release_0"...

I'm pretty sure you already know this, but just in case... if you have an install that's been pkgbasify-ed, you can't use freebsd-update. The last I saw they, whoever they are, were working on a clear way to de-pkgbasify something, but I don't know the details. (And of course, I have my own...

Thanks, I'll give that a try later today, and I appreciate your pointing it out to me.

It's working fine for me with the exception of vm-bhyve. I run openbox as window manager alacritty as terminal waterfox and librewolf as browsers. On rare occasion Japanese input, also working fine. This is on a clean install. For my use case, seems about the same os 14.x

I also only have openbox experience. By now, I have my always used autostart and rc.xml files, so on a fresh install, I just do mkdir -p .config/openbox and put my stored files in there. Unlike Phishfry I have tint2 in my ~/.config file as well and it's part of my autostart file. And my...

Well I did a fresh install of 15.0 today. vm-bhyve worked at first. I just installed Win11 and FreeBSD-14.3 to try to figure out how to upgrade with pkgbase. But when I went back today, once again it stopped working, saying it couldn't find the switch public, and again, not letting me destroy...

Yes, it's the Windows key. Also called Mod4 in some things, for example the dwm tiling window manager. Openbox, which is the thing behind LXDE, in its configuration file, uses W to describe it (as in Windows--Openbox uses A for Alt, C for Control and S for shift)

There's also a handbook article on upgrading with pkgbase. But it apparently has errors that need to be fixed--I don't know if that applies to the wiki as well. The handbooks article is here. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge Starts at section 26.7.2, but major upgrades...

A lot of this is old history. Greg Lehey's Complete FreeBSD goes through it. To brutally over simplify--AT&T was fighting FreeBSD in court for several years and during that time Linux took the audience that might have been FreeBSD's. Someone around here had a sig that if FreeBSD hadn't had those...

But the threads you mention are here and there and getting sidetracked. And this does give one place to look. So, I'll start. I tried to upgrade one machine using pkgbase. I wound up misreading the handbook guide, which is apparently not up to date anyway, and wound up with STABLE, rather...

I'm marking this solved, because it's been answered by Charlie_

epower53 take a look at the Daily Show's sports war. (Easy to find on youtube). It's basically a 5-8 minute segment, interrupted all the time with the (silly title) bet of the day, usually consisting of one commentator insulting the other, and it ends with Brought to you by Gambling. Gambling...

This is about a 14.3 that has been packaged basified but I haven't tried to update yet after problems with another unimportant system.

Thanks Charlie_ that's a big help. I think I'll just wait for better documentation.

Hrrm, I might just wait till there are better instructions for using pkg base to upgrade. For example, the one that did successfully upgrade with pkgbase now, every time I run pkg udate, wants to remove freebsd-zfs. I say successfully, but I should rephrase that to sorta works.
