Ok, rebooted without issue. Once again thanks to all, marking this solved. For whatever reason, it required the line FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes } in FreeBSD.conf and having it in FreeBSD-base.conf didn't do it. <shrug>. But all is working and...

AND.... I went to the machine that updated correctly and copied its /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf to the machine giving me problems. bakul, I saw that in that file, (the FreeBSD.conf) it had FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes } at the top. So...

It's been about 40 years since I last did any Fortran.

Thanks but that FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes } is what I have now and that gives me the result I mentioned, No repositories enabled. My ports stanza is the same as the one you show.

On a pkgbase installed machine I have the following in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf (*almost* the same as what Zare shows) I have just the following in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf and no other files in that directory. Try this!

This is from my 15.0p4 which has been reinstalled, so no pkgbasify, it's pkgbase from start. /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf # # To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file, # create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file...

Comparing the the machine that is working, I'm wondering if my /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf should read FreeBSD-base: { url: "pkg+https://pkgbase.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_0", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type...

I knew a guy who was using a matrix printer as CLI stdout because he still had to forge the display tube connector for it. It was some sort of fortran/shell input loop thing. Must have been 1 of them They are extremely rare.

I'm wondering if the problem is that the FreeBSD-base.conf just reads enabled: yes without any servers listed. In /usr/share/bsdinstall/FreeBSD-base.conf it gives a url and such.

This is from my 15.0p4 which has been reinstalled, so no pkgbasify, it's pkgbase from start. /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf # # To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file, # create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file...

Hrrm, I just did that. Now I know I messed up somewhere because I ran pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base and I get a message of No repositories are enabled So I'm not sure now where to enable FreeBSD-base. As I wrote above, it's supposedly enabled in...

Just in case, did you use pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base?

I got tempted and got a book after an early-access game denied me a beta key (apparently too big to hand out freebies even though I only heard of that game once in these forums :p)

This guy does FreeBSD, I tell ya

Vim I also started to appreciate the advantages of pure vi. It's hard to get into it. You'll need to force yourself to do it. But it's worth it. If you really do much editing, particulary coding, take my advice and at least try it. It's not...

I decent pencil is a literal heirloom. I love em.

I use a simple fountain pen. The ball pen generation yell at me. I am totally not surprised.

Dutch and German have the same roots, and for me the first reading was  Belästigungsdienst, which means "bothering service". Quite a good match, yes?

The new buffy series will be out soon!

Yes, I know. I'm looking forward to it. I knew I was too old for the other one when they kept having ads for period protection on prom night. At that point, I thought that as an aging adult man, I wasn't their target audience.

The new buffy series will be out soon!

I thought I took that one down. Shoot, it's been off the air since 2007 I think. Ah, I see I didn't. Heh, may as well leave it for now.

I don't know that "The Buffy The Vampire Slayer QuoteGenerator" is looking awfully suspicious! ;)

I have a system that I updated to 15.0 with freebsd-update and then afterwords, used pkgbasify to change it to update with pkg. It's worked to get me up to 15.0-RELEASE-p2. After seeing the security update notices, I went to update by running...

I'm on regular wired internet with spectrum. Anyway, I've found my workaround though I mutter bad words when I have to reboot. :)

Where did you meet them was it on this website?

Actually this 'friend' is probably an agent of the company and helps people with their 'investment'.

Check also very good how the website looks. For instance , https://www.argentorshop.be/en/?gad_campaignid=17559461932 They sell gold. But the website looks professional, there is an address , e-mail address, telephone number.

You have any other information? What about your friend do they have any information about the conference you mentioned that was in the us? You said florida? I want to make some calls and figure out who they are.

The document is fake. See https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10434907 not only does the company not exist but the company number is for a different company that's been dissolved.

It looks legit, but when you check the number, which you can, you see it is false.

Make a note of the subnet mask you got when you used DHCP. Use the same subnet mask, not /32. The /32 is fine on the alias. The thing about routing addresses is that they must be in a so-called "directly connected" network. It cannot be reached...

In the Netherlands correspondence from the Dutch Tax authority (belastingdienst) comes in a distinct blue coloured envelope via snail mail.

It's an X11 problem.
