    Removing components with `freebsd-update`

    A test is reasonable. For what it's worth: since I switched to pkgbase in February, more than three hundred upgrades have included base. % wc -l /home/grahamperrin/Documents/boot\ environments.txt 409 /home/grahamperrin/Documents/boot environments.txt % cat...

    Sleep resume - caveats and gotchas.

    Around the end of July, I began finding symptoms of a possible regression. Touch wood: no problem since I chose to make changes to loader.conf on 16th October. It's too soon to draw a conclusion – the changes made by me coincided with a routine upgrade, I have not yet found time to focus on...

    freebsd-update revert woes

    If you have not already done so, use single mode and force check – but do not repair – UFS volumes. What's reported? Also, please: uname -p In this situation, the neatest way to gain a working installation of (patched) 14.1-RELEASE-p5 may be: official packages (following advice for...

    Might be useful: [commit] tag

    Whilst it's true that cgit is used for primary mirroring, downsides include the somewhat meaningless titles. Say, ten tabs, all "src - FreeBSD source tree" with zero information about the commit. Postscript Yesterday's test <https://forums.freebsd.org/profile-posts/5643/> compares three forge...

    Slow output in the bootloader when using AMD GPUs (UEFI)

    I forgot to mention, not long afterwards I discovered that I had been making only one copy of the loader (not the two that are recommended). In a nutshell, I was using a loader that might have been around two years old. Since I began making two copies: much, much faster.

    2024: The year of desktop FreeBSD?

    A fair comment. The MATE desktop environment is not for everyone. With a little work, GhostBSD can have: SDDM, instead of the GhostBSD-provided display manager KDE Plasma. Pictured here in February 2022, Plasma on GhostBSD: To the left: "The Neuroscience of Breaking Out of Negative...

    2024: The year of desktop FreeBSD?

    Working for me, despite the attachment, which I shot yesterday afternoon whilst adding a queue for an HP printer. Clearly, something wrong. It's the type of bug that I ignore (sorry). I have huge stashes of screenshots and other mementos that relate to bugs, or possible bugs. I refrain from...

    2024: The year of desktop FreeBSD?

    The port of SDDM to FreeBSD should allow a User Session or Plasma (X11) in the absence of ~/.xinitrc. Confirmed a few minutes ago with a new account (for test purposes) on a separate installation of FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE. If you run startx – instead of allowing management by SDDM – the...
