Re: Can't login mate DE lightdm after upgrade

As for pkg upgrade by itself is a bad idea. If you have kernel upgrade and it recommended using pkg update -f and pkg upgrade -f. if you see a major upgrade of a Desktop it is probably a good idea to also to pkg upgrade -f. hi Eric I tried 'pkg update -f && pkg upgrade -f' and rebooted, but...

Since I am not familiar with FreeBSD, I decided to do a zfs snapshot before any upgrading. ZFS snapshot is a great and easy backup way to...

Re: lost Xorg with new nvidia drivers

The same problem. Upgrade nvidia-driver from 440.82 to 440.82_1. Then can't start Xorg. Found a temp solution for this issue. 1. login with command line interface 2. Ensure you keep the previous nvidia driver txz package on your local ls /var/cache/pkg/nvidia-driver-440.82.txz 3. remove current inst...
