Installed and now experimenting with #freebsd #freebsd15 on Lenovo M625q thin client (AMD E2-9000e 1.5 Ghz, 8GB RAM + 120 GB SSB). Nice setup so far with XFCE desktop. Wifi/USB dongle (tp-link TL_WN725N) works but has poor perfomance (like 30kB/s).

What might be a better supported WiFi/USB dongle?

Update to #FreeBSD15 complete, and everything looks just the same, just as I like it. Wasn't a completely smooth process (problems surely all my fault), but what I love about #FreeBSD is how I'm able to get things fixed just using the documentation and excellent forums.

Found a regression with PCI passthru with bhyve VMs on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. An Intel I210 Ethernet device, that is passed through into a (FreeBSD) VM gets unresponsive 1-4 minutes after booting the VM. Worked perfectly fine on 14.x.

Boot environments saved the day (again). Just a quick "bectl activate 14.3-RELEASE-p6_2025-12-02" plus a reboot and everything was working perfectly again 🙂

Of course did report the bug in the FreeBSD bz: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291459

According to #uptime it's been an impressive 129 days on this box, but I think it's time finally to bite the bullet and upgrade to #FreeBSD15. See you on other side!

From 14.3 to 15.0

I just played around upgrading a FreeBSD 14.3p6 VM to 15.0-RELEASE via FreeBSD-base.
I still have not figured out how to do that with the official repos, but after building packages locally i was able to upgrade the boot environment and reboot in a working #freebsd15 installation!

Has anyone got this working with the official base repo?

If anyone is interested, here are my notes about upgrading locally (Notes in picture alt for copy paste).

$Create Boot Env and mount it ``` bectl create 15.0 mkdir /mnt/upgrade bectl mount 15.0 /mnt/upgrade ``` Change pkg configuration `/mnt/upgrade/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf` to local repo ``` FreeBSD-base: { url: "http://local.ip/${ABI}/15.0", enabled: yes } ``` and comment out FreeBSD-base from /mnt/upgrade/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf Install FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap, as mentioned in the [release notes](https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/) ``` env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ install -r FreeBSD-base FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap ``` Then upgrade the base packages ``` env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ upgrade -r FreeBSD-base ``` Check, if FreeBSD-set-base is installed: ``` env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ install -r FreeBSD-base FreeBSD-set-base ``` upgrade all other packages ``` env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg -c /mnt/upgrade/ upgrade ``` Temporarily activate boot env and reboot ``` bectl activate -t 15.0 shutdown -r now ```$

And one more server (including jails) cleanly upgrade to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE :freebsd_logo:

All running nicely 🙂

Bad things:
1. No Meteor Lake firmware in repos. Seriously guys ? This chip is almost three years old.
2. There is a pkg drm-kmod-latest (based on Linux 6.9) - this should support Meteor Lake easily. But - see point 1.
3. Downloaded GPU firmware from #Linux repos but drm-latest-kmod just panics and reboots computer.
4. Removed drm-latest-kmod and installed drm-66-kmod and it sort of supports my MTL GPU. I have vertical 70's disco on my console :ablobcool:
