My Recommendation: 1. Back up those files to an external drive. Immediately. You are one wrong keystroke, one botched update, one hardware glitch away from losing everything. In my years of doing computer support, I have seen this scenario...

I'd try the mailing list. Although I'm not sure which one would be appropriate, perhaps try ports@ first.

Think of "latest" as "bleeding edge." These are essentially nightly builds of the packages, and they aren't always processed and available at the time you want to run the upgrade. If you don't want this situation, you need to run "quarterly" or...

For what it's worth, my VM host runs 15-STABLE (stable/15-n281412-26365bf2516f), all VMs (except one) are running 15.0-RELEASE. The one exception is Debian 12.

I suppose it may be possible using the grub2-bhyve loader? Though getting a working Windows installation without using the UEFI graphics stack would be a lot of work. It may be more reliable and easier to just use QEMU.

Looks normal. That's to say, it has that state on my VM host too, and none of my VMs are hanging (they're all just happily chugging along). root 62436 13.2 3.9 8481452 3972216 - SC Fri20 1041:21.70 bhyve: sdgame01 (bhyve) root...

Directory indexes are turned off, probably for the same reason they've been turned off on the package repos. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/why-pkg-freebsd-org-subfolders-indexes-are-forbidden.76191/

You don't. Just wait for 15.1-RELEASE.

I really don't know how to thank you. Thank you so much... I downloaded it and I'm now installing and configuring it.

I uploaded spoofdpi.pkg to my google drive, this is for FreeBSD 14.3. I hope you can download from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17gdIbk9s64igg4xzaTP8QDbr-cqN5WVw/view?usp=drive_link Try pkg add <pkgfile> # pkg info spoofdpi...

Messages are about to exceed roundtrip times.

Unfortunately, the package is not available for download on this page (404 error): https://freebsd.pkgs.org/14/freebsd-amd64/spoofdpi-1.1.3_1~9117419a62.pkg.html Even the prerequisites for this package are not available too! This was the only...

Downloading a single package without its dependencies is going to be hard to install locally, but it can be a start. You download that package, try to install it locally, see what dependencies are missing, and then get the packages of those...

Good luck, Maybe you could also try building it from ports tree if possible.

Thanks, I'll manually download the package with vpn on my phone and install it on the system to see what the result is...

Maybe anti-DPI proxy solutions such as net/spoofdpi could help? To put proxy in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf: pkg_env: { http_proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:8080", }

Honestly, I don't trust any of the mirrors at all, but I'm really forced to use them. Even to install other tools like Laravel, I had to use a mirror, which is completely unsafe :( I've submitted a request ticket for FreeBSD packages to the...

It should be easy to configure lpd just with ghostscript, without cups: https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-1240

In those websites (they are not package mirrors, as previously established) there seems to be part of the FreeBSD base system in different formats, but I doubt that you can find the ports/packages there (they are probably too big). Anyway you can...

Thank you. Do you have any solution or suggestion for this problem? If you were in my situation, what would you do, considering that VPN services are also having serious issues...

Those aren't package mirrors.

There's also the everywhere driver (but I don't know if it would work for you, but according to a 2021 reddit thread it should). https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/op9jji/cups_printing_drivers/ (the reddit thread)

That is correct.

I have a page on vm-bhyve, which also has a link to vermaden's page on it (which is more complete). https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html But in your case, I think all you need is vm create -t centos7 myvm with myvm being the name of the vm. For...

Hi, due to very heavy filtering in Iran, I cannot install/update/upgrade FreeBSD packages. I found several FreeBSD mirrors with servers located in Iran, but even after configuring them, I still get no results. This is my conf...

If you have router like keenetic, you may install xkeen through entware/opkg and make xray client on it. Then use internet access politics to your devices. And don't need to choose browser, your PC will have access to vpn. And you may add routing...

And another thing: providers usually do not give a complete client side config because they don't know your OS. Windows based programs create one fr scratch. In FreeBSD you need to do it manually.

www/qt6-webengine failed to build. It version was bumped to take into account of graphics/lcms2 update. So you could lock qt6-webengine and probably lcms2 too. In case lcms2 was updated, you could take from /var/cache/pkg the older version, and...

The /bin/sh executable doesn't have a version. What are you trying to figure out? Why are you looking for a version?

-i is not a valid option for vm create .... What are you trying to do here?

Firefox all of a sudden after a huge pkg upgrade today, would not start not finding libvpx.so.11, so a simple edit of /etc/libmap.conf worked: [/usr/local/lib/firefox/libxul.so] libvpx.so.11 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.12.0.0 ymmv. 14-2 amd64...

You know the host OS version has nothing to do with it? Builds are done inside poudriere's jails, not on the host OS. Look at the logs, to see why those few failed.

Don't know, can't tell. We have no access to your build logs to see why things failed to build. The skipped ones are because one or more of their dependencies failed to build, so check those failed builds first. I would really suggest setting up...

AlfredoLlaquet No. Not at all.

Thank you AlfredoLlaquet, this looks nice! However I think I got something wrong, because when I have this in my .editrc: bind -s j ^Vj bind -s ja ^Vj^Va I can see 'ja' when I type 'j' and 'a' afterwards, but a single 'j' doesn't print 'j'...

For j+space, the only problem with bind -s "j " ^V^Vj^V^V is that the space itself doesn't get inserted, so you will have to type j+space+space. This way it "works."

I've found what seems a possible way. You have to define all the other combinations: ja, jb, jc, jd, and so on as themselves but with double ^V before each letter. So, in vim, in your .editrc, you would type, for instance: bind -s "ja"...

I've been playing with this for a while because I found it interesting and I'm equally stuck. Once you apply any of your configurations, the only way of inserting a "j" character is by pressing ^V before, which is very unpractical. And I have not...

Not at all. And I'm positive it applies to the vast majority who come here and stay.

I wouldn't go to any social media platform for the "likes". I would only go for information though the comaraderie of this place is special versus any other place.

This past Sunday, February 1st, was the first day of the week and the first day of the month. Which means I had a daily, weekly and monthly backup due. I always felt strange about that because you are wiping out all chance of recovering something...

I had no problem finding FreeBSD after looking for an alternative to Linux :p

If the PPD from open printing doesn't work, you could probably also give the universal driver from Brother a go in the linuxulator. It does use CUPS, so there might be a PPD that can be extracted for use. EDIT: I downloaded the source and there...

you could try the Foomatic PPD from OpenPrinting.org's PPD generator — this runs print jobs through GhostScript to rasterize them to the printer's format. you'll need to install foomatic-db and foomatic-filters along with ghostscript, probably.

Another important thing to learn about rsync is what effect a trailing "/" has on the source and the destination.
