    What could possibly go wrong? Sorry. I couldn't resist ;-)

    USB keyboard won't work, FreeBSD and BIOS

    Not to hijack this topic … sometimes, for me, it's like FreeBSD can't use – at boot time – any combination of a USB keyboard with an external USB hub, if some combination of other devices is present. I noticed this very recently after increasing the number of memory sticks that I use for L2ARC...

    Removing components with `freebsd-update`

    The 28th October file that I attempted to upload (from a temporary folder) no longer exists, this one should be much the same. pkg, debug level 3.

    Solved XenForo: temporary directory

    Afterthought, gut feeling: more likely, a reconfiguration oversight with migration to the superior hardware not an issue with the superior software itself. In any case: thanks to DutchDaemon, danger@, and any other person involved, for the recent changes.

    Solved XenForo: temporary directory

    For a small file: Maybe related, yesterday's XenForo upgrade: As far as I can tell, the failure was first observed after the most recent maintenance period.

    Why choose FreeBSD over OpenBSD for an http server?

    Sorry, genuinely I didn't know what the word meant until this evening. I assumed it was a feature, now I know, it's not. (Account deleted more than three years ago.)

    Removing components with `freebsd-update`

    Yesterday I added a few lines about orphans and non-installed base packages. Also, library backups.

    Solved pkg fails with mystery error after upgrade from 13.3 to 14.1

    Thanks, It lacked the suggested force, but for now, let's not focus on that. I have seen the child process terminated abnormally in maybe a dozen cases in recent months/years … I never took much notice, at the time, because: I was focused on other things essentially, it was never a true...

    configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables ERROR on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE

    Sound advice, thanks. ZioMario I'm sorry that I didn't see this topic sooner. Since 14.0 became unsupported, I'll assume that this 2023 case was worked around, and for future reference: pkg-add(8) should be a similarly useful way to (re)install any part of a distribution that is packaged...

    Did you keep a record, for yourself? Run /usr/sbin/pkg bootstrap -f –? probably superfluous (the comparable run that was shown in your opening post was successful), but it should do no harm. Then (re)run: pkg upgrade -f Postscript: re-edited the first command above, to include the path to...

    Solved freebsd-update fetching but failing to install updates

    Let's treat this as solved – overcome by events – for at least two reasons: the opening post includes freebsd-update fetch install, which is unreliable freebsd-update is an axe candidate for FreeBSD 15.0.

    How do I delete a package from the system leaving the installed files in place

    I sometimes wish for this, for reasons unlike the example in your post. I searched GitHub a few months ago, the closest I could find was freebsd/pkg issue 311. (Side note: the link to pkg-plugin-zfssnap is redundant, I could not find a modern equivalent plugin for pkg.) Use case Use...
