Anyone has any idea about how to create os based on freebsd

Maybe you can take a look at GhostBSD, it's on GitHub I think.

The project leader is also very kind and active in their Telegram group

👍

all these OS versions are starting to get ridiculous. CLOUTWARE look at me.

distrowatch list a 100

I do run FreeBSD in VMs all the time... but I've noticed that I get better results if I export the desktop (KDE in my case) via VNC

i thank you Joey Kelly

I am trying to migrate on premises freebsd server to aws Any one know how to convert freebsd to UEFI for migration?

I was trying to follow https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/gpt-to-uefi.78086/ gpart add -t efi -a 4K -i <your efi part #> <your disk> gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1.efifat -i <your efi part #> <your disk> Any idea what values to be provided in "your efi part " and <your disk>

do you have an efi partition yet?

gpart show | grep efi

although I don't know why you would need to fiddle much with partitioning just to migrate bare metal to AWS. just spin up an EC2 instance and copy your data over.

I have multiple servers with multiple dependency to move. If OVA import can be done it will be easier.

I dont have an efi partition yet

ok, then "your efi part" doesn't exist. on a fresh install, it is usually partition 1, ~260M. "nvd0p1" in this example: % gpart show -p => 40 976773088 nvd0 GPT (466G) 40 532480 nvd0p1 efi (260M) 532520 2008 - free - (1.0M) 534528 4194304 nvd0p2 freebsd-swap (2.0G) 4728832 972044288 nvd0p3 freebsd-zfs (464G) 976773120 8 - free - (4.0K)

the Handbook has the details on the specific contraints (size, type, fs, etc.)

Are you sure? Check it works or not, using Shell(in the installer).

Mm strange, 7260 seems to work in latest FreeBSD releases, or at least that's what I'm finding in the forums

I've been looking at you for a while, if you just want to try a bsd, then first go with netbsd, imo it's the most portable bsd, the time you get to have compatible hardware.

Heh, riscv64 images are busted in last release.

Hi! Is it possible to upgrade from 13.0 to 13.1 just with "freebsd-update" ?

hi! i just upgraded from 13.0>13.1 and until now everything is working well. after upgrading i lost some space on my hdd. my question is this: is there a specific folder where fbsd is keeping the downloaded files for upgrade?

Not an expert on fbsd, but I don't think so. I just upgraded from 13.0>13.1 with: freebsd-update -r 13.1-RELEASE upgrade, then issued freebsd-update install; sudo shutdown -r now and freebsd-update install.

Thank you bro. I will try it asap

You welcome. You'll see on CLI that it will tell you what to do. It was 1st time for me when I upgraded fbsd from a version to another.

Have you already installed "src" before upgrading?

you might check /var/db/freebsd-update - it usually grows enough that I notice it. I don't think there's anything particularly important in there if you absolutely needed the space. I'd recommend sysutils/ncdu for searching further.

i just have to ask if anyone is using wayland on 13? I purchased a framework laptop and have to run 14.

I'm running CURRENT on a framework, too. finally got the wifi to be stable, but X11... yikes. hangs a LOT.

current is not stable .. run/rerun desktop-installer may fix your X problem tho YMMV

I had to purchase a USB wifi dongle to get WiFi but am running all txt in the console with tmux... It's been kinda cool. But I do miss a wm. I'm trying to give Wayland a chance.

I'm sure there isn't an option to run this for Wayland ... I've been looking for it.

I've been meaning to try wayland with sway, but am still using i3-gaps pretty much everywhere, including the framework.

That is exactly what I'm attempting to do but am using freebsd 14. I know there will be issues.

my last build of 14 was about 10 days ago, and it really helped the stability overall. pulling the newer drm stuff in helped the graphics a little. I can actually drop back to the console from X without the display freaking out now. Initially, the wifi was a big issue, but 13.1 pulled in the iwlwifi code, so that shouldn't force you using 14.

AWESOME! Thanks, I'll grab 13.1 then.

PLEASE let me know how it goes, I'm currently crafting my include/exclude lists for a tarsnap backup of the framework, so I'll be ready to backup and reinstall soon.

Will do.
