So, no AI "help" needed during the install 👍 I'd say it's easier to do on FreeBSD than Linux once you get the hang of it and have a bit more experience with the "FreeBSD-way" of doing things.

Which part of the installation was troublesome for you? Because the FreeBSD installation itself is fairly straightforward.

There are too many possibilities, it's hard to debug. 😅 And without detail error message.

Ah, it's not drm-66-kmod that's missing, it's drm-kmod that's missing in FreeBSD-ports-kmods.

One final test you could do; pkg version -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods -vRx drm That's probably going to show graphics/drm-66-kmod as being "orphaned" (?). That would confirm the package disappeared in the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository.

You have a 15.1 system, the DRM driver should have a 1501000 in it's version string. You have that version installed. So just leave it for the time being. pkg-upgrade isn't going to touch it, it would be downgrading (it definitely never does...

My mistake was writing install, not post install config.

I'm not too worried about graphics/drm-kmod because it's a meta-port, it doesn't have anything of itself, it only depends on other packages. But this one's odd: drm-66-kmod-6.6.25.1501000_8 > succeeds remote (remote has...

As noted in another post this morning, AI can lead to false expectations. In https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/whats-real-stage-of-freebsd-now-a-weird-article.103195/ it led the Distrowatch editor to believe there was a preconfigured desktop...

Looks like you're trying to install FreeBSD. Would you like some help?

No. wolffnx the article states, after some searching around, that there is not yet a desktop installer. Emrion, I play around on VMs from time to time, but I can't remember if I did or didn't see the desktop installer you mention seeing. My...

Was afraid you may have mixed quarterly and latest on FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods, but this looks in order. Then I'm guessing you have a ports tree checked out? Note the behaviour of pkg-version if you don't explicitly state what to...

What does pkg repos show?

Does anyone know of a live currency exchange chart program or website where you can set a target exchange rate and be notified if/when that target is reached within a timeout period? Maybe it's possible to create something like that ones self.

Handbook is written fairly generically, it simply cannot provide instructions for all possible hardware combinations people might have. Helping new users is one of the reasons why these forums exist. But I get it, AI can be useful to look things...

I was wrong in stating the original entry. The installation was easy, the post install config was a bit harder than in Linux, but with the help of ChatGPT worked smoothly and fine. And this gave me the idea. But it seems that (according to the...

Is it possible to detect the frequencies used by remote control device such as those for TVs, cars etc with some sort of RF reciever and if so is it possible to transmit them?

If it's a static database blob, it can be made torrent-based or some similar bandwidth-dividing system. I would donate to a project attempt for a local LLM without dependency on corporate services. That's just a bad idea. Something else will own...

Troll. Witty username, restricted profile. Comes on FreeBSD forum (the OS for tech people) and asks about AI built into the installer, a thing not even Windows or OSX has. Puts Handbook in same sentence as "blogs".

.

How about just following the Handbook? No other tools needed. Other blogs tend to be the opposite and outdated but AI will religiously follow them. You need only one source. The Handbook. Two sources if you include this forum. No installation...

You did bring the fireproof underwear, did you? How big do you think the install media would have to be, to the next 10GB mark?

here's a port. I've been using this on 2.3.2 without issues, and just updated to 2.4.0 today & committed. In the usual nodejs way, it comprises ~ 13_000 files, after substantial pruning, but around 80MiB compressed as a package tarball. -...

This is crazy, the work of a madman. I like it, more power to you!

A jail doesn't have a kernel, it runs on the host's kernel.

The bug has been fixed in VirtualBox 7.2.10.

The debug symbols don't have to be present at coredump time. Only at debugger time. Can even be on a different machine if distribution sets match.

Hmmm... So I recall seeing this type of non-deterministic behaviour in the console login program (Alt+Fn). At that time, I think I was on a 14.x on a BETA, and I assumed I was fatfingering my password (keyboard map switch). But on a hunch after...

What kind of output did you pick? BMP? How do you write the output file? Very cool project.

Wow! This is really-really cool! I'm very excited to see someone so enthusiastic about bmake! Great job man, I really mean it!

It's not relevant, After freebsd-update and pkg upgrade, things work again like they had been doing for the last ten years.

The 304 version drivers have been broken for a very long time. And it would appear the 340 version is now broken too. These drivers have been EoL for many years, and changes in Xorg broke them. The 390 version still works, somewhat, only 2D no...

Do you have steps to setup Nvidia drivers?

Did you reconfigure Xorg with nvidia as I recall this will create the file that xorg can read.

Quite possibly, I just spent the morning working out why it is that none of my jails could update packages, it turned out to be that something had changed to prevent the nat instructions in PF from working when I updated to 15.1 in the jails. I...
