If this is an older machine, it might also be a good idea to test the system memory. That could also cause odd issues like this.

It may be a buggy UEFI that needs a workaround similar to what has been done for a few other Thinkpad notebooks. You should bring this question up on the freebsd-current mailing list if you're able to follow through with help debugging.

Problems with the portsnap servers seem to be increasingly prevalent during the last year or so. I'm curious if portsnap is headed for deprecation in the near to medium term. svnlite works just as well if not better and seems to be more reliable in my experience. I haven't had a single problem...

My prompt is a bit more involved I guess. I mainly use shells/zsh now, but wanted to emulate the zsh prompt I'm using for tcsh. I kind of succeeded, though there's probably a better way to set this up or at the very least, clean it up. The image shows from top to bottom: zsh (user prompt)...

Odd, I've never seen that before so I'm not sure what to suggest. Someone else may have an idea. Your post formatting is correct so no apologies needed. Thanks!

Hi. If you are using portmaster or similar as opposed to pkg for updating, did you follow the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING?

To add to this, anything set in /etc/make.conf will be global for both ports and the base system sources. It is truly global. :)

This works per user but not globally as fred974 specified in the topic line and first post in which case /etc/login.conf would need to be amended. That said, I think kpa has a good point. The root account is for administrative purposes so I don't see a reason to change root's environment so...

Hi. What is the output of sed -n '25,52p' /etc/login.conf on the machine?

pcm%n = dsp%n.v% where %n is the device number and %v is a virtual channel. FreeBSD's sound system includes in-kernel virtual mixing support for sound devices. Some higher end sound cards do this in the hardware but most lower end consumer sound cards and onboard audio do not. This allows a...

Your output lists pcm4 as the rear analog sound device and pcm5 as the front analog sound device with the rear analog device as the default device. So the sound card ports on the back of the computer are for the rear analog(default) device or pcm4, and the sound ports in the front(sometimes top...

The following ports should cover your list of requirements: multimedia/ffmpeg x11/xgrab multimedia/libv4l multimedia/v4l-utils x11/xdpyinfo To get a listing of all the available sound devices on the system, as you've already done, you can run cat /dev/sndstat. scottro is correct. The...

I can't reproduce this in either 11-CURRENT or 10.2_STABLE. It builds and runs fine in both for me. Are you using any non-default port options for either graphics/blender or any of it's dependencies?

UNetbootin no longer works with current versions of FreeBSD. The last version of FreeBSD supported was the FreeBSD 8 branch which has been retired and is no longer supported.

Your probably already aware, but if not, it's always recommended to never ever change root's default shell.

Do you remember the PR number you submitted for the bug? If the PR is still relevant it can be reopened if needed.

In short, AFAIK, no. At least there is no supported way to do this that I know of. The reason being is the official package repository and the ports tree are not synced to the same ports tree revision at this time, therefore creating a case where the dependencies may or may not be in sync with...

I guess it really depends on what you want to do/accomplish. To me, faster deployment in most situations means automation. :)

Glad you got things working, and thanks for marking the thread solved. :) For future reference, when having problems with a ports or packages, reinstalling the operating system is not needed. Unlike Windows and most Linux distributions, one of the advantages of FreeBSD is a clear separation...

To answer your first question; If the machines are similar in hardware, theoretically yes AFAIK, at least with minimal fuss from the system. To answer your second question, yes, assuming you don't add more disks to each system for redundancy which you did not mention, otherwise besides time, I...
