skunk Okay. I will surely try. covacat I have 3 USB devices. One Dell keyboard, one Logitech mouse and one usb dongle of a portable keyboard. $ usbconfig ugen0.1: <0x8086 XHCI root HUB> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA) ugen0.2: <Logitech USB Optical Mouse> at...

Geezer There is no harm is trying that tweak but it just doesn't feel right. As I said this issue happens max once a month.

I tried to find out if my keyboard is responding or not. I tested by pressing the NUM LOCK key and the LED was going ON/OFF so the keyboard is active. Now if this is an accurate way of testing or not that I am not exactly sure. For the past 6 years when I was using various Linux distros this...

$ freebsd-version 13.0-RELEASE-p7 No, no new hardware or upgrade to a new point release. I guessed myself that this is a tough one to troubleshoot so I want to know. Is there any key combination which will reboot the machine from that state ? CTRL+ALT+DEL is not now working.

Once in every few weeks the boot process hangs and I am not able to reboot using CTRL+ALT+DEL. The only way left is to pressing and holding the power button in the front on the desktop This is how the screen look when the freeze happens >>> Click here Q1) How can I fix this ? Q2) When this...

By personal data I mean everything that I have stored locally like family photos, songs, videos, my KeePassXC database, etc. Edit: I just moved the .mozilla folder from the jail to the host's home, ran the update.sh script and then moved it back to the jail. This is not ideal but doable.

So you choose not to install all the updates offered ? You pick particular packages and leave the rest ? Is there a reason for that ? Like avoiding breakage ? In the short period that I have FreeBSD I have updated everything but nothing broke. Now suppose after running pkg-audit I find a...

This I have never done before so I will search for a tutorial online but thing I want to ask. Q) Isn't running pkg update / package upgrade ultimately the same thing instead of checking a local mail ? I mean this mail needs to be checked using CLI right ? So instead of checking a mail if I run...

grahamperrin I want to get notified about two things. (a) When to run freebsd-update fetch install and (b) when to upgrade to a new point release. I can understand that its not possible to notify user about when to run pkg upgrade coz that depends on the specific packages installed which...

That's extremely depressing. What's the best way to keep personal data isolated ? So that be it a OS level vulnerability or a browser exploit my personal data is safe ?

It happened after sometime. Frankly speaking this is disappointing. Creating this Jail wasn't easy. All credit does to you. Q) Running Firefox inside a Jail Vs Running Firefox inside a Virtualbox VM ..... Why provides more isolation ? Host : FreeBSD VM : FreeBSD / Linux

eternal_noob SirDice I just received this email so I don't have to rely on the output of freebsd-update fetch install when my install reaches EOL. This mailing list thing is really useful.

Zirias Understood. Q) How can I know that the my installed version is no longer supported and that its time for upgrading ? Will freebsd-update fetch install and pkg update/upgrade fail ?

SirDice Honestly speaking this is one thing that I don't like about FreeBSD. This "three months after the release of 13.1-RELEASE" is too confusing not only for newbies like me but experienced users like you. Why do you think the FreeBSD team doesn't announce a date ? I am not expecting the day...

SirDice I am running 13.0-RELEASE-p7. I want to get email notification at least 15 days prior to the EOL of 13.0-RELEASE-p7. Is this possible ? Edit: When 13.0-RELEASE-p7 reaches its EOL is it possible to do an "in place upgrade" ? Or should I download the new ISO and do a fresh install. During...

T-Daemon This is current permission of the problematic profile >> Click here The output is too large for this forum.

T-Daemon I have 3 Firefox profiles. I just found that this permission issue is happening in 2 profiles out of 3. I can install addons on 1 profile as usual. I tried # jexec -l firefox # chown -R firefox:firefox /usr/home/firefox/ but still cant install addons on download any file on the...

Yes all the pages like Youtube, Facebook, etc are loading fine. When I try to download any file this happens. So there's definitely some permission issues.

T-Daemon I don't what what went wrong. Now can't even install addons. Making it read only off has no effect. zfs set readonly=on zroot/jails/firefox/root At first I thought the mozilla addon server is down but then I launched the Firefox which is installed on the host. I was able to install...

T-Daemon Did chmod 777 /zroot/jails/firefox/root/tmp but still getting Permission denied.
