Well, I think now FreeBSD is stuck waiting for ZFS release.

I would run a stress test with mprime/prime95.

If the CPU radiator is not making good contact to the CPU it may feel cold while the cpu is overheating. It may also turn off due to bad power but it's unlikely with this cpu. Try with some CPU stress test to see if it's turning off under load.

OK, but how and why and what causes this error-message anyway?

There's probably still a pkg running that's keeping the database locked. What does ps -aux | grep pkg show?

The hotspot offers 5GHz but it is set to 2.4GHz. Don't how to check the Thinkpad.

I'm fairly sure your data is gone. You forgot the first, and most important, rule of data recovery; DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING to the disk you're trying to recover.

I am looking into the issue since yesterday. As it happened, I was running tests in a VM when your second post was published. So far I was unable to determine how to import from a mirror detach drive without a pool. I found the following links...

To the same disk(s)?

Even on a heavily package loaded machine, 10 hours would be quite excessive. I'm more thinking along the lines of a broken disk, causing constant read failures and repeated retries.

I'd also recommend trying without -y, so you can see what it wants to remove (if it ever gets there).

>>kpedersen Perhaps the strange unicode characters are Japanese cause I am Japanese. I thought so, and replaced them with English.

It used to have such option, and I used it. At some point I noticed it doesn't forward spam anymore. One suggests creating a filter for that, I haven't tried though.

It's not.

Besides ZFS, what else is running on that system?

OK, I may have an answer but no solution yet: the VMs where this is a problem are generated from the cloud-images of FreeBSD. I.e. they are booted into firstboot etc. where pkg is bootstrap. I suspect that once it has bootstrapped from...

Maybe the swap config on disk is damaged? Just enough there to mount it, not enough to allocate from it? Or is it a swap file?

I'd also recommend trying without -y, so you can see what it wants to remove (if it ever gets there).

I once got away with recording the console with a good camera and single-stepping trough the video (save uncompressed video). It got the afterglow from the system console displaying the call stack and crash information, just enough to pinpoint...

I have had my Thinkpad X1 (Gen 1) connecting via WiFi in the past when connecting to a broadband router, but can't get it to connect to a hotspot. It works fine in Windows but I can't get it connecting under FreeBSD. ifconfig wlan0 scan locates...

What does zpool import -d /dev/nda0p4 tell you? It might get confused because you dd'ed the disks and now the ZFS meta data is exactly the same on both drives. Can you remove one of them?

Which version exactly?: uname -aKU Which pkg version?: pkg -v Try with debug information enabled: pkg -d autoremove -y

I'm intending to install a DHCP Server in the next couple of days and came across an article by the very well respected vermaden, namely https://medium.com/@vermaden/highly-available-dhcp-server-on-freebsd-2bf81a5e4e77. Before using this as a...

Isn't LXDE and/or LXQT full desktop environments with things like configuring printers, and the like? (I'm asking, I don't know the answer, but that's what I thought).

Can you explain the difference between Openbox and LXDE?

Never heard of it, but out of curiosity I'll give it a try.

like, if you want to understand what's possible with the shell we can recommend reading its manual: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sh&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.3-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html the only shell...

Well, I wanted to say: it does not depend on the window manager, and it may be done in a more standard way, see my UPDATE 2.

fraxamo, thanks for catching that, it's fixed now. hruodr, if the question was to me, no, I didn't try the programs you mentioned, I'm happy with what I have with openbox or dwm.

Hi scottro, looks like you're missing the text '.html' on the end of that URL.

I entered this into Chatgpt: Just reading through now...

That doesn't make it scrollable, as in selecting and entry using the up/down keys. I guess I'm not making it clear what I'm looking for.

Well, it did work, but after a reboot I can no longer access the internet from my LAN even though I can ping the gateway (192.168.1.5) from each host, and each has this gateway setup as the defaultrouter I'm not aware of having made any changes...

`history | less`?

Under sh. history just displays history but it not scollable.

Oh.

I've tried games/monsterz now. It runs fine on the machine where pysolfc has trouble. But it is a very different game.

No way they make a major ZFS update past a RC stage.

That is possible with twm. Did you try the package xkbset? I not really, just installed it out of curiosity, but seems to work. UPDATE: Just played a little. After you do xkbset m you can use the keypad as mouse. 5 or 0 as button; division...

Intresting that this happened so quickly. This was the main problem with PkgBase I raised when it was first being discussed. FreeBSD has effectively lost its concept of "base" and is now just scrapping around with randomly changing default...

`history` will do that in most shells.
