I also think that locking is a more elegant solution than removing. There's often valuable bits in such threads that go from technical to a bit of a flamewar.

I'm the other way round. I learned image processing on GIMP. I absolutely can't get anything done on Photoshop. Muscle memory is a powerful thing.

I have not accustomed to Gimp in 20 years. I have used Photoshop from version 5 to CS2. Ver5 I installed, opened and started clicking around. Everything that happened was logical. Very soon I could do everything regarding image composition and...

Xlibre isn't a hateful project, their developers are just really bad at marketing and there's a lot of people who really don't like X11 spreading misinformation. I tried Xlibre on my Linux workstation and it had lower latency with better...

I would 'kinda understand' locking the thread ... but removing? That is just bad. That is censorship like behavior.

Simple fix - don't run consumer windows. The Store shit is much more deep than "I've got process hooked on my files", it is isolated and inaccessible to Administrator under a OS session. Imagine FreeBSD executing a chain of services and programs...

I think that implies the OS tries accessing the iso you are trying to write with Microsoft photos, its absurd though. I always would use win32diskimager btw, very simple and efficient.

I had the same problem yesterday with the latest FreeBSD-ports repo. quarterly worked fine so I thought it might be a temporary problem with the actual remote repo files.

in this case I did freebsd-update fetch && freebsd-update install pkg update pkg upgrade

It was the -fu parameter I was missing.

Just power down the machine. All file systems are un-mounted, ZFS pools exported gracefully. Sure there is: zfs-mount zfs unmount [-fu] -a|filesystem|mountpoint -a Unmount all available ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as...

That's very disappointing to hear.

I can't because have pool or dataset is busy. Earlier I ran zfs mount -a to see what happened, but it looks like there isn't a zfs umount -a.

Maybe this is hardware related. If zpool-import reports "devices are faulted in response to IO" (input, output) from a USB attached external device, perhaps the USB port speed is to blame. Try USB 3.0, if you have a machine providing such a...

Did you try zpool import?

It looks like I am not going to figure out to mount my zfs disk so I'll probably boot from it and mount the partition from my other disk. But at the moment I have zfs mounted the pool and don't know how to unmount. What happens if I simply...

I'll have to check again today. Installing the original VM takes about 5 minutes, so I may start afresh. I agree, I don't know where I've erred to make it look for base_release_3.

I have a machine running 15.0-p1. When I upgraded, I upgraded all packages and Nvidia worked for me. Often, when there's an update of packages involving Nvidia I have to reinstall nvidia-kmod from ports, but in this case, the pkg upgrade gave me...

Nokia 2660. Because all smart phones in 2025 have too much surface area for exploitation. The OS is a fairly lightweight thing (Nokia S30+).

It is becoming always more difficult. I find the idea of the smartphone good, but bad implemented, worst quality software and embedded espionage. It reminds me of plan9 computers for different tasks on the net: terminal, cpu and file server.

Yeah, they're built as a whole. Which kind of defeats their purpose to be honest.

Yep. It's a userland only thing. So no new kernel, thus not updated. Only rtsold/rtsol/resolvconf had a bug. https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-25:12.rtsold.asc...

Show us the complete output of pkg upgrade. The output may exceed the maximum number of characters allowed by the forum editor, if that is the case, redirect into a file, attach file to your post. pkg upgrade -n > pkgupg.txt

Hello there. I am writing because I did a cock-up and I have no idea how to untangle it: I upgraded from 14.2 to 15 a few days ago, it screwed up and managed to fix it with an pkg update -f -Then I decided to try fixing up my Bluetooth, which It...

I have now disconnected the USB drive. I noticed I have zfs_enable in my rc.conf. I don't know why. it's probably been like that for ages. Maybe I will try attaching the USB drive to a different laptop and see what happens.

The best explanation of ZFS I heard was by Bryan Cantrill when he presented Solaris 10 at a dog & pony at one of the hotels here about 20 years ago. ZFS is a volume manager and a filesystem wrapped up in one. Think of it as a Linux LVM on...

oh, same, but we also recognize that not everyone necessarily feels the same, etc

Well, I use ZFS for all my systems even the ones with just one drive. It helps me with snapshots, remote backups (using filesystems/zrepl), compression, bitrot, organisation of filesystems and a lot more. I've been using zfs since it first...

It makes no sense why it's trying to access base_release_3. If you just could get it to fetch base_release_0, I think your fine. :) Could it be defined in /etc/pkg/?

I know. I wrote this because I had the same problem after upgrading from 14.2 to 14.3 and I solved it by not loading a splash image at all.

FYI, the "Loading splash ok" boot message is printed regardless if a splash screen is configured or not. It originates from src/stand/common/gfx_fb.c

If the installation was menu-guided from the FreeBSD installer, then loader.efi was copied in two files: efi/boot/bootx64.efi efi/freebsd/loader.efi Have you updated both? If that's the case Boot the system and disable all nonessential kernel...

Try not loading the splash image and see if it boots that way.

Do you have some custom boot splash image in your config? It looks like it's hanging while trying to display the boot image.

gedit probably doesn't keep the file open during idling.

I've started some benchmark (with PTS) on my Framework 12 laptop. Arch (BTRFS) and FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE (ZFS). I'll publish the results in some weeks on my blog (only in french). For now, i've tried to do same thing manually (every day's task)...
