Why would it install a dependency if nothing depends on it? Did you install a complete x11/xorg (it's included with x11-fonts/xorg-fonts)? Or x11/xorg-minimal? Or only the GUI application you wanted to use on the server?
It goes way back further than 14.x
When conceived it sounded killer.
Somehow in 8 years it is still beta.

Hi all,
We have ported bhyve to macOS on Apple Silicon and would like to show it here, mostly because the work produced a set of patches against usr.sbin/bhyve that we want to send back, and we would like advice on how to do that well.
The...
For a start - thank You all for all welcome comments.
The same as all of You I also do not like how PKGBASE is being organized and handled.
The concept is good but the 'planning' around it? Terrible.
It was kinda HUGE shock for me that it was...
Hi
Thank you very much—another very useful project.
I also don’t understand why a scripted tool isn’t included in the RELEASE or referential .
After all, `pkgbase` hasn’t exactly just appeared in the last few months!
Thanks Vermaden !
When was `pkgbase` introduced? An update tool should have been prepared and rolled out at the same time. What’s happening now is a complete joke. First, we create something that doesn’t fully work and isn’t well thought out, and then we scramble...
...and still no equivalent to freebsd-updates' "fetch", "updatesready" and most importantly "rollback" commands for pkgbase.
So I guess it's safe to assume it won't get these features before it is forced upon everyone. So we end up with something...
vermaden well done... the lack of a tool like this is why I'm still using freebsd-update on 15.1. A suggestion to help further reduce the gap between freebsd-update and pkg - add automatic boot environment snapshots to every update and upgrade...
You're too quick to dismiss this concept. It's just that the (official) tool isn't written for the moment. That will come for sure. Maybe it will be integrated in freebsd-update itself. In the meantime, you have the pkgbase upgrade instructions...

I wrote a tool like that five months ago, but it can't upgrade to ALPHA or BETA target.

It doesn't update the loaders either, as it's the job of sysutils/loaders-update.

I'm curious to read a bug report; I never noticed file copying be any issue on FreeBSD but maybe there's certain methods to run into it

Glad I can help.
It takes a bit to master, but once fail2ban is working and tuned, it is very effective.
My current fail2ban block list is consistantly over 200 ip's.
Absolutely. Compiling ports from source is not hard, nor is configuring FreeBSD or creating an ISO.
What has been, is finding and reporting or fixing bugs, such GLib (now merged) preventing file copy progress on FreeBSD. Multiple inotify kernel...

Thank you for showing everyone how to leverage AI to quickly manifest a vision into reality, and that this is just a fraction of what is possible.
I see lots of commits co-authored by Claude in the FreeBSD src repo, so pragmatism won.
Ho Netdata is pretty cool! But I have to agree on this con: «The sheer number of metrics collected by default can be overwhelming if you only care about a handful of indicators» :D
I’ll keep it around, but stopped, until I need it.
F2/F12 is Acer BIOS standard. If the following 512 bytes of bootloader is no valid executable, I think that can result in a freezing system or a reset-loop.
It happens if you replace /boot with something else because the original /boot/boot0 is a...
But by the time it does that, it's beyond the F2/F12 stage and already chosen the boot device, so that can't be it.
It's a mystery and will have to remain so because I'm not going back to investigate further so unless anyone has an identical...
The BIOS describes itself on its boot splash as "EFI BIOS" and the two things I did to fix the problem were change the partitioning scheme from msdos to GPT and create an efi partition manually because the installer didn't. Given the age of the...
Nothing. It's all working now (apart from the display which is why I stopped using it as a laptop). This is not a help thread. It's the Off-Topic area. If I'd wanted help I'd have posted in Installing and Upgrading FreeBSD or Systems Hardware.
After resetting the time on my server and rebooting as well as using a different phone for USB tethering, I am back to normal although not exactly sure what the specific cause was. It may have been a combination of one or more factors.

I'm having a similar issue with version 15.1. Repeating the "pkg upgrade" allowed me to run Plasma under x11 in a stripped-down version. The keyboard ignores previous settings, decorations and styles don't work. Wayland doesn't work at all. Same...
Thank you for posting... and just to follow up on this there was a post about HyprBSD on REDDIT as well:

I haven't updated an OS in years (but can respect others doing it longer-term and OSs supporting it), but I'm kind-of curious why wiping and redeploying isn't a quicker consideration before gambling.
Clean OS install ensures the updated OS...
HyprBSD uses mainly FreeBSD packages, you can check this from: /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf files. Also running hyprbsd verify after installing from ISO will show you what has changed. The only files I actually host are what's needed, drivers...

As long as you don't do any automated stock trading you really don't need microsecond accuracy. For most situations getting the time from a couple of internet time servers is "good enough".
