    Are you sure ALL_PROXY used to work? Because there is no such environment variable. greping through the man pages (or source code of 14.4,15.0, 15.1, main) returns empty. There is SOCKS5_PROXY, though: pkg.conf PKG_ENV: Key/Value list...

    Not really sure what you mean. It's on a UFS SSD without the traditional partitions but just 1 filesystem on /.. Its copying speed at many small files, like I often do is as expected. The entire build happens inside a chroot dir. /usr/obj is a...

    There's no clear indication but the case fans used to go full-on during a buildworld and it took 12 minutes. Now 25 or so. I can't find any problem. This is the infamous voltage-patched SkyRaptor lake. I had 2 total freezes over time with unknown...

    I installed sdr++ and then ran rtl_test which produced some output, none of which I understood, but at least it showed thar the device was working. Running sdrpp produced the following but what do I do with it?

    This specific VirtualBox bug, like the previous one, appears to have been fixed upstream in a 7.2.9 test build, based on user testing: https://github.com/VirtualBox/virtualbox/issues/645#issuecomment-4444394049 Until a stable version with the...

    I'd suspect CPU voltage stuff depending on if it was ever over-volted previously (possible if auto-BIOS was high/errata). Cooling system shouldn't matter as long as temps are still ok. Not sure how newer Intel cooling is done, but with i5-8400H...

    you probably want to list out your GPU and freebsd version to confirm whether other people is having the same issue.

    Going to bring it to the repair guy. I think it's poor cooling but I can't find the cause. Is it possible that the board's thermal limiting system is faster than the CLI core temperatures? It's all around 70 degrees, so no visible overheating...

    This is because the efi vars are not saved with the VM. With vm-bhyve it's uefi_vars=true. I can't understand that this is not the default... My advice is to stick to UEFI. BIOS is the past, and it will less and less maintained and supported.
  • tembun
    It seems that I found the cause of the problem. I do build the world and the kernel from sources, and I compile only those modules that I actually use. As I mentioned above, my host system uses UFS, so I didn't have a ZFS support for the kernel...

    Yeah, I did have this in my VM config: uefi_vars=yes but it still didn't work and terminated with the very same error. And after I did boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI trick and finally booted into the VM, efi vars were saved - uefi_vars.fd (or...

    I see. In this case, expanding the indexing to other macros requires to modify the source code, which seems not so trivial. A quick search in the source tree doesn't show exactly which files are involved, since there is no "makewhatis" source...

    This shouldn't happen, normally. I can't tell why it happened. It doesn't happen in my test setup (host 15.0-RELEASE, guest vm-bhyve 15.0-RELEASE). You can work around the issue by setting the "currdev" variable in /boot/loader.conf (see...
