DesktopBSD-2.0 Gnome test version

We are pleased to announce that DesktopBSD-2.0 Gnome test version is available,  more flavours will come soon.

Based on FreeBSD-10.3 amd64, mainly because UEFI is supported by FreeBSD only for amd64 architecture.

Before burning the ISO to a DVD, please check the md5 or sha256 of the downloaded ISO against those  from our repo

DesktopBSD ISOs are hybrid, UEFI enabled, and can be written to USB sticks using the 'dd' command:
dd if=DESKTOPBSD-2.0-FBSD-20160903-152502-gnome-amd64.iso of=/dev/daN bs=1M conv=sync

(where /dev/daN is your's usb stick)
Bsdstats is included as in DesktopBSD-1.7 Release, so DesktopBSD will be counted in www.bsdstats.org.
Bsdstats can be launched or is launched from console using bsdstats.send, via rc.conf or via cron from /usr/local/etc/poeriodic/monthly/300.statistics.

We have included tools to:
  • Connect to desktopbsd irc channel to get help using desktopbsd-irc
  • Open bugtracker page in forums using desktopbsd-bug-report
  • Get system information using inxi scripts ported from linux

Inxi can be run from console, terminal and even under irc client to send informations in irc channel directly.
desktopbsd-irc plus inxi are great tools to help users in #desktopbsd channel.

ISOs are installable using gbi (GhostBSD Installer) and includes another GhostBSD tools.
Please notice that Eric Turgeon ( GhostBSD founder and developer ) is also in our's dev team.
 
Please test and send bugs using desktopbsd-bug-report to be able to fix them.

To enable desktop icons on desktop please run dconf-editor and go to org.gnome.desktop.background and check show-desktop-icons. (desktop icons are not enabled by default due to a gnome bug)

We'll use for support www.desktopbsd.weebly.com website, desktopbsd.boards.net forum and #desktopbsd irc channel on irc.freenode.server.

New Core Team Member

The OPNsense project is growing rapidly and it’s with great pleasure that the OPNsense core team may announce that our team will be strengthened with Shawn Webb. Shawn has already  been doing lots of great work and his formal membership is seen as a logical step forward by all of us.
Shawn Webb Over the past year, I have had the wonderful experience of working with the OPNsense core team in porting over HardenedBSD’s robust ASLR
implementation. It is with pleasure and humility that I have accepted their invitation to join the core team. My overarching goal will be to port the main features of HardenedBSD to OPNsense.
Address Space Layout Randomization, or ASLR for short, is an exploit mitigation technology that aims to make certain kinds of vulnerabilities
harder to successfully exploit. In order to fully apply ASLR, applications must be compiled as a Position-Independent Executable (PIE). In the short term, my next goal is to enable PIE fully across OPNsense’s ports tree. I’m using HardenedBSD’s ports tree and package building infrastructure as a test bed prior to importing into OPNsense.
OPNsense is investigating migrating to 11.0-RELEASE for its 17.1 release. The Virtual Memory (VM) subsystem has changed drastically between FreeBSD 10 and FreeBSD 11. Since ASLR deals with the VM subsystem, extreme care must be taken in the update of the codebase from FreeBSD 10.3 to 11.0. I will assist in those efforts by freshly porting over the ASLR implementation from HardenedBSD 11.0 to OPNsense’s FreeBSD 11.0 codebase.
I look forward to being a part of the OPNsense core team. The coordination between HardenedBSD and OPNsense will bring a more solid
foundation on which home users and enterprises alike can build secure and scalable networks.

OpenBSD tmpfs on its last legs

As a result of apparent lack of maintenance, Theo de Raadt has disabled tmpfs.

CVSROOT: /cvs
Module name: src
Changes by: deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org 2016/07/25 13:52:56

Modified files:
 sys/conf       : GENERIC 

Log message:
disable tmpfs because it receives zero maintainance.

You probably didn’t use this anyway

The last bits of Linux emulation have been removed from DragonFly.  It’s 32-bit, so it’s been unsupported since DragonFly went to 64-bit only with the 4.0 release.  Also, some other 32-bit only items are gone, including the cs, ep, ex, fe, and vx network drivers.  It’s almost impossible that anyone was using it, but it’s notable because that’s some… 15-20k lines of code gone?  Removal of unused code is also positive.

Releases

pfSense 2.3.2-RELEASE Now Available!
We are happy to announce the release of pfSense® software version 2.3.2!
This is a maintenance release in the 2.3.x series, bringing a number of bug fixes. The full list of changes is on the 2.3.2 New Features and Changes page.
This release includes fixes for 60 bugs, 8 features and 2 todo items completed.
If you haven’t yet caught up on the changes in 2.3.x, check out the Features and Highlights video. Past blog posts have covered some of the changes, such as the performance improvements from tryforward, and the webGUI update.
As always, you can upgrade from any prior version directly to 2.3.2. The Upgrade Guide covers everything you’ll need to know for upgrading in general.  There are a few areas where additional caution should be exercised with this upgrade if upgrading from 2.2.x or an earlier release, all noted in the 2.3 Upgrade Guide.
For those upgrading from a 2.3 beta or RC version who have not yet upgraded to 2.3-RELEASE, please see this post.
While, nearly all of the common regressions between 2.2.6 and 2.3-RELEASE have been fixed in subsequent releases, the following still exist:
  • IPsec IPComp does not work. This is disabled by default. However in 2.3.1, it is automatically not enabled to avoid encountering this problem. Bug 6167
  • IGMP Proxy does not work with VLAN interfaces, and possibly other edge cases. Bug 6099. This is a little-used component. If you’re not sure what it is, you’re not using it.
  • Those using IPsec and OpenBGPD may have non-functional IPsec unless OpenBGPD is removed. Bug 6223
Compared to pfSense 2.2.x, the list of available packages in pfSense 2.3.x has been significantly trimmed.  We have removed packages that have been deprecated upstream, no longer have an active maintainer, or were never stable. A few have yet to be converted for Bootstrap and may return if converted. See the 2.3 Removed Packages list for details.  pfSense 2.3.2 does bring back ntopng, and the vnstat (traffic totals) package is new.
Downloads are available on the mirrors as usual.
Downloads for New Installs and Upgrades to Existing Systems – note it’s usually easier to just use the auto-update functionality, in which case you don’t need to download anything from here. Check the Firmware Updates page for details.


FreeBSD 11.0-BETA2

The development of the upcoming major version of FreeBSD, whose final release is scheduled for early September, continues at a fast pace. Although delayed by a week, the 11.0-BETA2 build was finally announced yesterday: "The second BETA build of the 11.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available. A summary of changes since 11.0-BETA1 includes: several build- and toolchain-related fixes; WITNESS and INVARIANTS have been disabled on powerpc, powerpc64, arm and armv6 architectures; freebsd-update(8) has been updated to allow '*-dbg' distribution sets; ctld(8) no longer exits when reloading the configuration with invalid initiator-portal clauses; GENERIC-NODEBUG kernel configurations have been removed; the callout code has been updated to avoid a system panic with TCP timers; several other changes." See also the (incomplete) release notes which are still work-in-progress. Quick links to download the amd64 and i386 installation DVD images: FreeBSD-11.0-BETA2-amd64-dvd1.iso (2,479MB, SHA512), FreeBSD-11.0-BETA2-i386-dvd1.iso (2,203MB, SHA512).

New PacBSD ISO Available

A new iso is available for testing for 64bit. Currently there are two install media, one for DVD/CD and one for USB devices. Be sure to select the right media. Dot img for usb and dot iso for CD/DVD.
Download is available here
Currently the main packages available for testing are: LXDE, chromium, Xorg, wine, transmission and a few Window Managers. New Packages are added daily and more DE should be available in a few days.
xfce4, firefox and vlc will be next uploaded. Though there are multiple PKGBUILD for these already available at
Github
Also you can view daily reports of the repository, which includes broken packages, packages which fail to pull in dependencies, outdated packages (Checked against freebsd ports) and other information:
Repository Report
Installation help can be found at:
ZFS Install Guide
If You need additional help, feel free to join irc.freenode.net ‪#‎pacbsd‬-dev as this is quite active. All new uploaded packages, git commits, repository reports are posted here daily.
One more note, any issues can be reported to us directly on #pacbsd-dev on IRC, or on our bug tracker.
Bug Tracker

DragonFly 4.6 release candidate 2 available

DragonFly 4.6 release candidate 2 has been tagged.  You can pull it directly from the master site in img or iso form (check your local mirror instead if possible), or shift to the new tag.
“Where is RC1?” you may ask?  I tagged the first release candidate some days ago, and this bug was immediately found right after.  It was easier to go right to RC2 once a fix was found.
This candidate will probably lead directly to a release version, so if you want to run the release version exactly, wait a few days.

The rescue undo

Did you know there’s a rescue image, created with crunchgen, in DragonFly?  If your system can boot to single-user mode, you can use it to at least manipulate data on disk – it includes mined as a simple small editor.  (Since vi assumes /usr is mountable.)  This rescue image now includes undo, so you can back out changes on a Hammer volume.

The most significant changes in this release are a rewrite of the webGUI utilizing Bootstrap, and the underlying system being converted entirely to FreeBSD pkg (including the base system and kernel). The pkg conversion enables us to update pieces of the system individually going forward, rather than the monolithic updates of the past.
For the highlights, check out the Features and Highlights video. Past blog posts have covered some of the changes, such as the performance improvements from tryforward, and the webGUI update.
The full list of changes is on the 2.3 New Features and Changes page.
In the process of getting here, we’ve closed out 742 total tickets, with most of those being items related to the Bootstrap conversion. Of those, 136 bugs have been resolved that affect 2.2.x and prior versions.
