upgrade

Today, on FreeBSd-12.1p10, I ran a script that has been working on FreeBSD for years and got this result: env: perl: No such file or directory. Which is, to put it mildly, bizarre. So I checked for perl: which perl | echo $? ==> 1. So, no perl installed. So I checked that: pkg info -x...

Dear community, usually an upgrade of FreeBSD using freebsd-update is nothing to worry about. Just run fetch and install as documented and take care about the packages. And that's it. But there might be an option to speep up and save bandwidth if more than one system is to be updated. As far as...

Every day or so, I ssh into my freebsd server and do the following: sudo freebsd-update fetch sudo freebsd-update install sudo pkg update sudo pkg upgrade sudo pkg audit -F Is this all that I need to do to stay up to date (I'm on 12.1-RELEASE-p7 ATM)? and what do I do about identified...

In doing a freebsd-update from 11.3-RELEASE to 11.4-RELEASE, two groups and a user were added. Any idea what the groups "nofiles" and "tests" are for? Also added was a user called "tests": tests:*:977:977:Unprivileged user for tests:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin Seems safe enough, but who's...

hi, I've been having this issue for a while on my ver 12 release. Whenever I tried to upgrade the system, it results a kernel panic on the system and rebooted automatically. I was able to observe the failure point and it seems that system always reboot during upgrade of python27, i can still...

So, I upgraded freebsd from 11.1 to 12.1 after this I updated ports and upgraded softwares like mysql, php etc. So, most software work even though there's warnings because configs are using outdated stuff. However, most software still runs and works. Mysql is the only thing that's broken. It...

Hi, is it possible to run these two commands with a cronjob? If so do I need additonal parameters like I would need on a dpkg system? (apt -y upgrade)

Upgraded from 11.1 - 12.0 and then it couldn't login has error. Shared object "libdl.so.1" not found, required by "bash" Thankfully I just restored the VM snapshot but how can I avoid this problem ?

I am new to the forums, but not to FreeBSD - please be kind. :beer: I am using a Verizon Hotspot via iPhone/iPad as my internet connection. It is connected via USB. Everything works marvelously when my Hotspot is serving full bandwidth, but Verizon throttles the Hotspot bandwidth down to...

I'm trying to upgrade an old computer of mine from FreeBSD 11.0 to 12.0-RELEASE. I ran freebsd-update -r 12.0-RELEASE upgrade then, after that succeeded, ranfreebsd-update install and tried to reboot. It started shutting down, but before restarting it got stuck in a state with text on the...

Good day! I have a box with FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE r326098 amd64. It have a ZFS root on GELI encrypted providers: zpool status pool: bootpool state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM bootpool ONLINE 0 0 0...

After performing the following: # freebsd-update -r 12.0-RELEASE upgrade # freebsd-update install # reboot # freebsd-update install # portmaster -af I ran into an issue with reinstalling zabbix34-server due to the openssl situation. <...snip...> checking for DTLSv1_method in -lssl... yes...

This evening I tested the upgrade process from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.2 since the former is reaching the end of its supported life at the end of this year (2018). The process went fairly smoothly on both my test and production servers and I jotted a few notes on the experience in a Twitter thread...

All, Over the past few years have spent a significant amount of time (seemingly endless) on port/package maintenance tasks. It seems that we should be able to: 100%: Use pkg for any/all installs and maintenance tasks (if no custom config options are required) -or- 100%: Use ports for any/all...

Hello everyone! Last week I tried to upgrade from source from 10.3-STABLE to 11.2-STABLE on my laptop but the new kernel (GENERIC) failed to boot. I thought that it might be safer to upgrade from binary, so I built and installed 10.3-RELEASE in order to get freebsd-update working and then I...

Hi all, I want to upgrade my freebsd server into 11.2 version, I've an error. Commands and results : # freebsd-update fetch src component not installed, skipped Looking up update6.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching metadata signature for 11.1-RELEASE from update6.FreeBSD.org...

I've read that the release announcement of 11.2 will be in the date 27/6 of this year. My question is: it worth to download an install 11.1 and then make an upgrade from there, or should I wait (something that I could do) and download the 11.2?

A time ago, I had no idea that FreeBSD 10.3 didn't work if i installed it. At least in my case. I never knew why. Anyways, this post it's not about my problem with previous versions of this OS, but it's about how can I make a full upgrade of the entire system. I mean: when FBSD 11.2 will be...

Hi I recently upgraded my system from 11.0 to 11.1. I also upgraded my jails with ezjail per this guide, basically using ezjail-admin update. However, now when I tried to install a port inside a jail, I got this error: [root@jail_foo /usr/ports/www/node]# make install clean /!\ ERROR: /!\...
