Yes and no, the set boot order in the BIOS plays a role in this too. You can configure it to boot from the second or third detected drive. It doesn't necessarily have to be the first detected disk but that is the most common and obvious choice...

Unfortunately sudo is not installed - I might have removed it though.

Doesn't that ec2-user have sudo access? Not entirely sure if those images are prepared that way.

My current try: Deploy another FreeBSD instance, import the zpool of the "forgotten password" instance, mount it and chroot into it.

AFAIK, Even if it's empty, su does still prompt. So maybe it's empty?

Unfortunately it is not empty. :(

I have an FreeBSD EC2 instance running 14.3-RELEASE. I can log in as ec2-user via SSH key file. But I do not recall the root password. Obviously it is set since su - prompt me for a password. Any ideas what I can do?

hunter0one, please show us: zpool history zpool get bootfs zfs list A test setup in a VM (manually partitioned disk, manually bootcode installed), with root file system on "zroot/ROOT/default" boots just fine: root@test2:~ # gpart show -p =>...

That was my thought as well. I seem to remember (perhaps wrongly), that there was a limitation on how far the "freebsd-boot" partition can be apart from the beginning of the disk. A quick test in a bhyve VM shows, the system boots just fine...

Ehm, no. Suppose your web application gets hacked. Then they'll have access with the www user, if this user has write access to the document root (or other directories) they'll have all the access needed to completely wreck your website, insert...

Having been caught out previously by permission denied errors in the browser, I now make sure that files/directories involved are owned by www:www.

Looks like you need to install the filter extension, how you do that depends on your version of PHP. On one machine I have this:php85-filter-8.5.8_1 The filter shared extension for php To see what extensions (modules) you have...

Wasn't exactly sure where the divide was, but I knew for certain it was FreeBSD not the BIOS that showed these messages. At least something was booting just not sure how far up the chain.

The message "BIOS disk is..." comes from gptzfsboot, more precisely from /i386/libi386/biosdisk.c. I don't think the problem comes from pmbr side. It just looks for a freebsd-boot partition, loads it and jumps to its code. If it wasn't find that...

That's not a hallucination. That's an error--out of date information--that should be reported in a PR.

They absolutely are. If they're correct, the country is going to be stuck in developing world status forever because rewriting licenses on this sort of misunderstanding of the license isn't conducive to developing. As bad as the courts are in the...

I'm glad you found something that worked, but I think the issue is that you didn't have any actual IPV6 rules in the original configuration. I don't personally use IPV6, but I'm fairly sure that block blocks all traffic and that you didn't have...

AI suggestion:- # Example for PHP 8.3 (adjust version if needed) pkg install php83-filter It works!

The about section of the FAQ does not seem alt-rights to me. There are other projects like SQLite, having particular CoC. It is a little paranoid, but there are also some facts in (partial) support of these stances. Anti-vaxer can be a problem...

Yes, I'm using it, they have some different options, like tearfree by default and have some other changes (which may or may not be relevant to you: https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/wiki/XLibre-XServer-25.1-Changes). Doesn't break anything vs...

According to AI: Diagnosis Both errors point to the same root cause: text Call to undefined function filter_input() Call to undefined function filter_var() These are core PHP functions provided by the Filter extension (ext-filter).The...

Who is the owner:group of the DocumentRoot directory and all its content?

I finally managed to get Wordpress installed following this video and the first thing I do is attempt to install Hello Elementor which immediately crashes with stuff which I don't know how to diagnose namely:- Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call...

No, I believe that's code from the PMBR. How big is that swap partition? It shouldn't matter if freebsd-boot is the second partition, but it might be too far out on the disk? Not sure what these limitations are. Any chance you can delete the...

Default DirectoryIndex of Apache only looks for index.html, if it doesn't find it it's going to show the contents of that directory. You typically set this to DirectoryIndex index.html index.php for PHP applications...

Where is it stuck if you try to boot? mountroot prompt? And what's bootfs set to on the pool? Assuming you moved everything correctly to zroot/ROOT/default, bootfs should be pointing at that. Perhaps that's still set to zroot/?

Telling an "AI Agent" secret information? (Or in this case, have it generate the information). No, that's a hard pass from me. Next thing you know, the same AI agent will use the information to break in as a task from someone else... (of course...

Kent I think you misunderstood him, it's a FreeBSD development environment for some MCU. I have Cortex-M7 board that is recognized as serial device and with the user in dialer group the tools can normally access it.

Typical permission issue, the /dev/ttyU* devices get created with root:wheel and 600 permissions. Traditionally 'dialer' is a common group for TTY or serial devices. root:dialer and 660 are good permissions (and add your user to the dialer group).

If you specifically need some version between 2.0.0 and 3.0.0: RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}numpy>=2.0.0,1<3.0.0,1:math/py-numpy@${PY_FLAVOR}

And you have checked them also? ls -l /dev/cuaU0 /dev/ttyU0 shows the correct ownership, group and permissions? I ask, because some people forget to check.

That is why you get the depends on executable: py312-numpy - not found error.

Hi OpenFreeNet, as much as I appreciate your time writing both the "long" and "short" stories, it appears to me that they contradict the original assertion that ". . . [you] don't know if the additional cost of ECC RAM is justified in the case...

It's not about the python flavor, it's about the version of py-numpy. Note the >0 I added. It's a python module, it does not contain an executable named 'numpy' 'py-numpy', 'py312-numpy' or any variation thereof. Even if the correct dependency...

RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}numpy:math/py-numpy@${PY_FLAVOR} This tells it to look for an executable named '<$PYVERSION>numpy' (i.e. py312-numpy), which doesn't exist. RUN_DEPENDS=...

Isn't that Red Hat cloud? What can you do with it in FreeBSD?

Hi OpenFreeNet, Could you please elaborate? Since the computer will be a "maser" in the sense that all files will originate therein by, e.g., download, compilation, or other processing, an (uncorrected) memory error will be propagated in...

I’m retired from the service business. My experience is my personal one with client and commercial machines. My opinion based on this experience is you have nothing to fear with non-ECC memory. Wring it for 24 hours before trusting to...

Not unless you get a judge to sign off on it. There's this pesky little thing called privacy.

If it has been suspended, presumably it is still owned by someone, Can I find out who owns it or originally registered it?

Upsteam has version 3.1.0 available. That's probably the better option.

If you only have one website, and are trying to access it by IP address, you will want to use _default_:80 instead of *:80 in the VirtualHost definition I showed above. HTTP/1.0 requests and/or requests done on the IP will go to the "default"...
