What worked for me on 14.3-RELEASE:
pkg install u2f-devd and restart devd
add myself to the u2f group
hw.usb.usbhid.enable="0" in /loader.conf; reboot
Firefox:
security.webauth.u2f true
security.webauth.webauthn true...
Personally, I had no troubles with latest pkg upgrades, but I was posting about this few times before and about my way to mitigate this potential problem, please see
and a few posts bellow quoted post.
14.3-RELEASE-p4; pkg 2.3.1; all looks okay...
I believe you're right, if memory serves me NCR Unix was SVR4.2. What I meant with my post it that it was a direct derivative from AT&T SVR4 and it was actually marketed as AT&T-NCR. I started with the company in 1997 but they were using those...
Wasn't this SVR4 based Unix/NS released back in '91? I'm just curious, why they didn't go with SVR4.2 / UnixWare (first released in '92) later, and what was their upgrade path?
Honest question from armchair Unix archaeologist 😎

Another one for the books - I just do a fresh installation of a bare-bones system, and then compile ports from that point on. Precisely because of this. 😒

I started my unix career with AT&T-NCR which was basically the prototype SVR4. I wasn't impressed to say the least (it was 1997, before that that for me there was only Linux Slackware and whatever unix machine we had at uni).
In late 1999 I...

Normally I set a 'WAN' interface, whether that be cellular or wired and the bridge everything else. DHCP on the WAN. Static IP on the bridge, not members. Simply 'up' the member interfaces.
I seem to remember a quirk where Atheros needs MAC...
I'm lost. A question on bridging. When you do bridging, does it give the device behind your BSD computer the IP address of the Network ID of behind the BSD box, or does it give it the IP address of the modem, that the BSD box uses to access the...
I thought there were two ways to network an Software Access Point..
Bridging and Routing.
DHCPd or similar are a different layer right?
I do all LAGG where ever possible now. So that is another approach.
Have you ruled out dns/dnsmasq? I am a...
I'm not sure if I'll still need nsd or any DNS for this small scale purpose. Was struggling with the zone file. Finally got the name to the alias to work from /etc/hosts:
10.1.0.1 disney disney.lan
10.1.0.2 world world.lan
Now I'm...
This is the exact reply I did not want to get. I'll refrain from posting sarcastic remarks about the discovery of grep.
It is what it is and I don't like it.
Funny thing, they have among vintage systems, under "[1] - UNIX Systems sub-menu \ [k]" FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p2 😁
(menu [k] says FreeBSD 14.2, but OS is actually 14.3-p2)
My recollection, which could be faulty is that "SunOS was very much BSD, including the init system" "Solaris was initially call SunOS 5 and brought in a SysV init system". There were obviously other changes, but I think that was the biggest...
AFAIK traditional (BSD based) SunOS had much simpler init system, with only 3 runlevels and no inittab.
SVR4 (System V Release 4) based Solaris changed init to SysV-style (please see Solaris 1.x to 2.x Transition Guide).
In Solaris 10, Sun...
Did you reboot after installing? Or unload and reload the various nvidia modules. In my limited experience, when I updated nvidia and resolution was really low,I would be able to fix it by updating ports (I use gitup ports) and then running...
My experience with my "vintage" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti has been when installing FreeBSD 13 and 14,
pkg install nvidia-driver-470,
then immediately,
pkg lock nvidia-driver-470.
I lock it, since, any upgrade will try to upgrade the...
MATE (formerly GNOME 2) is my "go to" choice for FreeBSD. It is still reasonably light-weight and can be installed without any Pulseaudio dependency (unlike XFCE). Better feature-set than GNOME 3, of course. Also, MATE has not given me bad...
Ha, IDK about vfs_fruit, thanks SirDice 🙏
I always (since 2001) did this with netatalk and samba set to share same dirs, Mac clients connecting to netatalk and Win clients to samba.
Just check the patch count required to make GNOME and/or MATE to work.
For GNOME to work on FreeBSD, there will be like tons of patches. I'd say it's effectively a reinvent of GNOME.
For MATE to work on FreeBSD, it's almost patch free, and...

I didn't realize that, this makes illumOS more Unix like due to SysV.
SunOS was a BSD. Then, Solaris was a direct descendent of SunOS, which has a Unix' initialization system.
This thread has made me wonder how much the concepts of Solaris/IllumOS, Mach and other OSes have migrated into the BSDs? Not line for line, but the concepts. Example: jemalloc in FreeBSD that was a pretty drastic/comprehensive rewrite of...

Yes, it can be turned off, but stream has some limitations and xattr really requires ZFS, not UFS.
So, SMB works well with illumOS, when FreeBSD hasn't at times? https://illumos.org/books/smb-admin/smbservertasks.html#migratingfromsamba says that Samba and SMB can't be run on the same illumOS computer. illumOS uses its own SMB implementation...
Normally not, as the upgrade to 14.3 put the quarterly kmods repo in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf IIRC.
Note that if you want to use the latest kmods repo, you need to adjust /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/.
To see what you currently have, just type: pkg...
Looks like they finished a couple of hours ago. Now they need to be copied to the mirrors, which takes a bit of time too. It should all be available really soon now.

this is not a "default gateway". default gateway refers to the route for 0.0.0.0/0 (IPv4) or ::/0 (IPv6) which handles traffic which is not destined for any other network.
for policy routing based on source interface, i believe you have the...
The type or model of the video card is mostly irrelevant (as long as it's supported by the version of the Nvidia driver you are using). It's not the type or model of the card that's the cause of this problem.
All these are supported by the 580...
There's an existing /boot/efi mountpoint intended for this.
Add to /etc/fstab:
/dev/gpt/gpefiboot /boot/efi msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0
If you enabled EFI during installation it would have been added to fstab...
It's definitely not happy with your config, you seem to have it messed up very badly. At least your config has "rw" as a hostname, I suggest you post everything here for review.
Hello, is there a different GeForce video card that is compatible with 14.3? My only compatible PC is down since I carried out a fresh install of BSD 14.3. Any help is greatly appreciated.
