How did you check? There are "FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug" packages available for 16.0 aarch64: Packages from (browsable) base_latest/ pkg repository directory on 2026-Jun-17 23:23...

I'm not fond how of HardenedBSD has splintered the community and potential resources for FreeBSD. They could've simply relegated to being a security patchkit for vanilla FreeBSD. (ie. grsecurity, Hardened Gentoo) With pkgbase, I see less reason...

Yes. Do as SirDice says. But also pkg delete whatever drm-kmod you have and reinstall it. Then reenable kld_list in rc.conf and reboot.

I'm not sure whether it still applies, but there is also a patch attached to 278230 addressing this very problem.

That didn't change anything. I suspect you did freebsd-update install, then rebooted. Boot to single user mode, disable kld_list in rc.conf. Reboot and continue with the upgrade. Your DRM driver is the one that's crashing the system, it was...

Where's the hostility? I had the RPI0 wifi and a Videocore proof of concept working in NetBSD. The reason there's no real graphics driver is apparently based on confidential internal road choices, not technical barriers. Patents and copyrights...

I'm in the process of upgrading from 15.0 to 15.1 and have just done a reboot after running freebsd-update -r 15.1-RELEASE upgrade and am greeted with ThinkPad W520 16G RAM What to do?

'latest' has to do with the ports tree, not the OS version. The ports tree is continuously updated, modified and whatnot. The 'latest' packages are built from the 'latest' (main) branch of the ports tree. The 'quarterly' packages are built from a...

kernel: battery0: critically low charge!

If the system shuts down, the shutdown will be recorded in /var/log/messages. If the battery is set up correctly, the system should go through shutdown before the battery runs out. If the system just stops, dmesg and /var/log/messages can't...

The new employee logged three times more issues than I did in the same month. In the following weeks I ended up at zero — not because I wasn’t working, but because I was busy fixing a huge number of bugs and repeatedly redesigning the code he...

That's his observation, as he states, without powerd(++). If you have different values, we are happy to hear about it - this thread is 2 years old. Surely something has changed since then? I can, btw, confirm these 50% since FreeBSD is not...

Are you sure about learning anything? Because my experience is, that people learn exactly nothing by using tools like that. No.

If the system shuts down, the shutdown will be recorded in /var/log/messages. If the battery is set up correctly, the system should go through shutdown before the battery runs out. If the system just stops, dmesg and /var/log/messages can't...

The STEC ZeusRAM is a SAS SSD based on supercap-backed DRAM that flushes to flash upon power loss. When it first came out, it was a great choice for ZFS log devices. But by now it's old. Today we rebooted the last server at $WORK that still...

Does aarch64 have a FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug pkg available? I like running CURRENT, but on a RPi4 didn't notice a nodebug pkg available on 16.0.

slop! slop! slop!

Now it's powered by 5V off an ATX PSU with a USB HDD for NAS powered by 12V from CPU 4-pin; Pi 4 is awesome! :D Didn't have female breadboard wires, but a random computer case wire (maybe CD audio to mobo) happened to have 4 wires in a row and...

I guess the 3 series BMW that the thieves drive has a converter that is difficult to get to... low clearance, and the underside actually has no visible parts, just a flat panel! I know that, because I drive the same model... 😅

The worst if it is when they include poorly configured sudo for admin tasks and disable root.

Never heard of tuptime before but thanks for drawing my attention to it.

Not quite what you're after but does report number of startups/shut downs, system life etc

How would we know? Are you expecting us to watch that video to find out? What's wrong with people, can you not write a question using words?

Updating bootloaders (my opinion based on what I've experienced): Historically it's safe. Today's bootloader must have knowledge of last years filesystems (backwards compatibility) and has knowledge of "today", but can't know about "tomorrow"...

I use Claude AI in a browser, which means you can do it on any platform. I'm not a "professional user" of it though. You can upload your files/projects and ask questions using normal English (and I believe, español también).

How did you verify that? Was it?: echo ${SHELL} Is your problem is that .bashrc is not read on login or that your shell has not been changed to shells/bash? If your shell is finally changed to bash, but your .bashrc is not read - it's how it is...

Replace /sbin/shutdown with a script that writes the uptime to a file and then run the real shutdown command.

There are probably some ACPI battery signals that throw a message at XX amount of time before battery depletion. But realistically with no power there is no log entry written. But it depends on signals received. In some cases the computer may be...

Does dmesg record the time of a shutdown when a system shuts down when it runs out of power?

It's all cool if you're not using accelerated graphics in a jail. If you are, then the security bonus of the jail is thrown out. What remains is the management - you don't have to chroot or mangle accounts / groups and setfib the browser to...

In your last paragraph you explained whats wrong with your assumption in your first paragraph. A browser jail does not need "all the permissions" for web experience, in fact it just needs very few. Why jailing a browser? Because it limits the...

I stop it, and restart it calling witj: local-unbound And then all begins working again, until it disconnects again. It is a timeout somewhere, I think.

Emrion see above, I don't know how I got that backwards. Yes I was completely wrong on that one and you were right, it means fernandel DOESN'T have pkgbase.

scottro, it actually means that uname wasn't installed by pkg. So, no pkgbase here.

I want to know how long the system will last on a full battery.

Replace /sbin/shutdown with a script that writes the uptime to a file and then run the real shutdown command.

As it's only a couple of ports (and I'm lazy---and, it doesn't take long to build), I've never looked into poudreiere for it. Also, it's always something I find out I need after I need it. :), that is, I either don't notice there was an nvidia...

Replace /sbin/shutdown with a script that writes the uptime to a file and then run the real shutdown command.

Why do you care so much about uptime? The datetime stamps in /var/log/messages will tell you when the system started shutting down, assuming it does a 'proper' shutdown, not an instant off kind of thing.

Deleting and recreating with the new version might be quicker.
