Branch Release Release Date Expected EoL ... releng/13.0 13.0-RELEASE April 13, 2021 August 31, 2022 Until August 31st/September 1st, according to current plans. https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198336 may be an old instance of this from an earlier time the CCB format changed.

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35312 will restore the compatibility ioctl. I'll try to do this as a EN for others.

So that worked. Brave wrapper looks like this. # vi /compat/ubuntu/opt/brave.com/brave/brave-wrapper ..... # Original # "$HERE/brave" --no-sandbox --test-type --v=0 "$@" || true #...

sysctl kern.sched.steal_thresh=0 also works

In main i.e. latest: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/5bc90fd03f49fc9528524d3a7a6779584e8373c4

sysutils/firstboot-pkgs may be source of some inspiration

Don't use bash, as you'll have to install it 1st. Perhaps you can base it on this #!/bin/sh env ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=yes pkg-static bootstrap while read pkgname; do env ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=yes pkg install ${pkgname} done < pkg_list.txt | tee...

Dear FreeBSD Gurus! Please share bash script to automate installing bunch of packages without any user interaction in a process. Let me write a little bit of details what I need exactly: pkg_autoinstaller_list.txt - text file that contain name...

pkg install `cat pkglist.txt` will do it. You could incorporate that into your script. Also, portmaster `cat portlist.txt`: ports-mgmt/portmaster. I knew that the port category could also be included in a package list, but from reading this...

The port is net/py-speedtest-cli, that's called the "origin" in FreeBSD's port/package lingo. Depending on the (default) version of Python the name of the resulting package is py${PYTHON_VERSION}-speedtest-cli. If the Python version changes to...

This is going to pose a problem when the default Python version changes. Use the port origin in this case; pkg install net/py-speedtest-cli. Then it will always be installed, regardless of the Python version at that time.

I beg to differ. I use FreeBSD as a desktop and I have found many PDF's with embedded JS. I would have never found that by hand.

On a somewhat wider perspective: You never really "need" antivirus software. Such software can only reliably detect viruses that are already known. Detecting unknown viruses can't be reliable, this can be proven by deducing it from the halting...

Also review the VirtualBox version to ensure compatibility with Windows 11.

Please mark as solved. Upgraded to FreeBSD 12.3 and no longer have an issue.

It's best to use the x11/nvidia-driver port or package. It has a bunch more patches and fixes you're probably not aware off. It's currently at 510.60.02 but the maintainer is likely to update it soon enough. If you want to take a stab at...

There are several tutorials and guides on how to install OpenVAS on FreeBSD; however, recently OpenVAS was renamed to Greenbone Security Assistant, spread across multiple packages and now no longer fits any of the past setup descriptions. After...

Ah, sorry, I overlooked the adding of the "linux-data" partition, got distracted. "openbsd-data" would explain the missing label in the source code, but not "linux-data". FreeBSD sets in /boot/loader.conf as default...

I've tested the main BSDs and my opinion on them is: - FreeBSD : very good base OS, very good documentation, wide choice of well maintained applications (as up-to-date as on Linux) - NetBSD : good documentation, very interesting philosophy...

The uncorrectable sectors are probably not the cause of this , though your drive needs a bit of TLC (you should replace the drive, or if the data is replaceable, write zeros to the drive to map the bad sectors to spares -- open a new thread for...

gpart doesn't recognize the (ada0p4) "openbsd-data" label, it's not listed as a known label, therefore it's considered as invalid. See /usr/src/sys/geom/part/g_part.c /usr/src/sys/geom/part/g_part.h /usr/src/sys/geom/part/g_part_gpt.c Someone...

Is drm-510-kmod available in the "latest" pkg repos? If so, switching to use that may be a little easier than building from ports.

I found the issue and it is my fault (?), I put KVM for paravirtualization on Virtualbox and this setting doesn't like to the ntp daemon, removing this setup the date is reported properly... 🤦‍♂️

Attention to the two smartd(8) lines. Read these alongside your <https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=3dc5a6f7d2&log=smartctl#ada8>.

Please don't discourage people from running 14-CURRENT. (BTW, I've been running almost bleeding edge -CURRENT here on all my machines for a good number of years with no such hangs when performing large file transfers.) What tool or tools are you...

Yes, FreeBSD 12 to 14. Here you go! https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=3dc5a6f7d2

I couldn't get my NIC working with 13.1, but it worked fine (initially) with 14 without any additional work.

SirDice: If you don't mind I'll make a little addition to your suggestion. Today I was notified that I had 3 outdated packages, yet pkg upgrade told me that everything was up to date. Running pkg version -qvRL= in fact showed that these 3...

The issue has been actually spotted, and it belongs to the fuse module. Using the cmount flag it allows Rclone to: https://forum.rclone.org/t/unable-to-mount-webdav-resource-on-freebsd-13-1/30898/12

grahamperrin: It's USB3. I did hw-probe -all -upload, the result is here: https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=cc1c76afc0 jbodenmann: knew somebody would say that ... well, "The design and implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, 2nd edition"...

Yes, as far as I know the official repositories are accessible on IPv6 too. Resolving issue. Still haven't figured out how to configure resolv.conf for IPv6? Useful hint: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

I also have to note that I use solely Root-on-ZFS Mirror for my FreeBSD machines/VM's boot supporting both GPT-BIOS + UEFI. However I've had some hassle when upgrading the system/zroot leading me to manually update the bootcode on the system...

Now that is a friendly tone... and as you shout into the woods, the woods will shout back.

My systems are connected to two 1 Gb networks internally, while the firewall has three additional 100 Mb interfaces -- two upstream and one to the DMZ. I haven't bothered with it yet. I had reasons not to before but those have evaporated and I...

They all are. But that's not going to change the package conflicts you're going to have with regards to using a different version of mysql than the default. The official packages are going to use MySQL 5.7. You cannot change those dependencies...

Jail is configured for IPv6 only, it doesn't have IPv4. Pinging an IPv4 address isn't going to work, the jail doesn't have IPv4. So resolving via an IPv4 DNS server address isn't going to work either for the same obvious reason. Either add an...

I have a new problem though: # service ospd_openvas onestart Starting ospd_openvas. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ospd_openvas: WARNING: failed to start ospd_openvas

Your biggest problem is trying to use packages that have MySQL 5.7 as the default 'mysql'. Those will result in a conflict with the MariaDB client. The installation of the MySQL client causes the MariaDB client to be removed, removal of the...

Sure, if you want those split out, why not? On my systems I consider those 'orphaned' packages a problem because that shouldn't happen (I have my own repositories). It is an indication something went wrong and I need to investigate.

All roads lead to Rome. Something you will find out when dealing with developers and admins alike. If you ask 10 admins to write a script to do something you get 10 different scripts :)
