This short blog post should summarize the KDE/Qt work done in OpenBSD 6.7 and plans for 6.8.
OpenBSD 6.7 is released! There are two ways you can upgrade your VM. Either use sysupgrade(8) or do a manual upgrade.
OPNsense moves to PHP 7.3 in order to be able to complete testing for the 20.7-BETA online upgrades. It also included is a patch for the packet filter kernel code which could crash with shared forwarding when interfaces disappeared due to use after free in the default network stack path.
DarkMate 12.1 is a desktop install script for FreeBSD 12.1. This script helps you set up a desktop system on top of FreeBSD 12.1. It will install PKG, X, MATE, SLiM, some additional tools and set up a 'wheel video' user.
Errata patches for OpenSMTPD have been released for OpenBSD 6.7. Incorrect use of getpeername(2) storage for outgoing IPv6 connections corrupts stack memory. The nature of the corruption and existing mitigations appear to make this difficult to effectively target. Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms are available via the syspatch utility. After patching, restart the smtpd service.
The first RC build for the FreeBSD 11.4 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv6, arm64, i386, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 architectures are available on most of FreeBSD mirror sites.
This is a project to collect hardware details of BSD-powered computers over the world and help BSD users and developers to collaboratively debug hardware related issues, check for BSD-compatibility and find drivers.
Make a probe of your computer in order to participate and discover the world of hardware in details. Share your probes and logs with BSD developers to debug and fix problems on your computer.
In this tutorial, we’ll cover the basics of iSCSI, configuring iSCSI on FreeNAS (soon to be TrueNAS CORE), and setting up access from a Windows machine.
FreeBSD developer explains why they decided to get this laptop, and how to get the most of it with FreeBSD. FYI, they run KDE. At the end of article you can find the list of things that do and don't work.
FuguIta is OpenBSD live system. This is a first test release of 6.7. Fast-boot-cache has not been installed yet.
Errata patches for LibreSSL have been released for OpenBSD 6.7 and for unbound and unwind for OpenBSD 6.6 and 6.7.
Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms are available via the syspatch utility. After patching, restart the unbound service.
LibreSSL 3.1.2 have been released. It includes the following fix:
In a commit touching quite a few files, Theo recently renamed the installation images from installXX.fs to installXX.img. These are UFS filesystem images, but additionally have a bootblock in the first 8K (since UFS does not use that space). There are some UEFI direct-from-internet bootloaders that require the name *.img. So this makes things more convenient for those, while keeping it consistent in all architectures.
Calling all developers! Do you have a project you’d like to work on that would improve FreeBSD?
The FreeBSD Foundation is still soliciting the submission of proposals for work that directly benefits any of the major subsystems or infrastructure within the FreeBSD operating system.
Last week was busy one for OpenBSD and FreeBSD. There are new releases for both and bunch of SAs. Plus the rest of BSD world with the latest releases, news, tutorials and security announcements.
