Hello. I'm a long time Linux user, trying to learn about FreeBSD. I setup a VM with the FreeBSD 14.3 iso file. During installation setup, I had it format the vhd with ZFS, and selected the option to ZFS Encrypt the Home Directory for a non-privileged user I created.

It appears when I login as my unpriv user account, that the home directory isn't being mounted. I checked in the FreeBSD handbook trying to find anything that might document what steps are necessary to mount a user's encrypted home dir, but so far haven't located that.

Can anyone point me in the direction of documentation on how to actually use your encrypted home dir?

that's a very good question

i raised a comment here: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263234

I noticed you raised a comment on a ticket marked 'closed FIXED' status, so I wonder if that will even be seen?

For the moment, I found some instruction on a reddit thread via Google. But it would be nice if it was documented in the Handbook.

Or Wiki, or something

Now I have another problem - now that I have successfully mounted the encrypted zfs home dir, I can login to Gnome desktop, but, when Gnome locks the screen due to inactivity or I specifically ask it to lock with Super-L key. . . I can't unlock it afterwords. I get the password prompt, type the correct password, and it immediately goes back to

asking me for the password, and I have no idea how to troubleshoot this - would there be a log file somewhere which might capture some error with the login process for the lock screen?

anybody running 15.0-BETA3 on zfs here? Please try `zpool iostat -v 1` and tell me if the numbers change at all?

jsbiff: folks still get CC'd on closed tickets

Ok, cool

dch: nothing changes

SomeVisitor: so you confirm, the output is wedged?

SomeVisitor: we're not alone - bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290579

dch: for your bisection it works here: 15.0-PRERELEASE main-n280086-851dc7f859c2

[tj]: thanks! the openzfs merge landed on Oct 5, 0cafc294bf12 which is the likely culprit

I am not sure how I ended up disconnected. . . maybe inactivity timeout

So, if anyone replied, sorry, I missed it

I kind of need to drop now anyhow. Just logged on to say that, so nobody would bother to reply after I'm gone.

heya! I'm getting pkg: Error: Forbidden along with a prebuilt version of pkg could not be found for your system on a fresh install of freebsd

when trying to bootstrap the system

What does "uname -mv" return?

heya, I'm getting an error "pkg: An error occurred while fetching package: Unknown error" and Unable to update repository FreeBSD{-kmods}. I think my new install is connected to the network because I'm able to ping google

maybe you’ll see more details when using -d

mccd_: pkg bootstrap -f and give it another go

rtprio: hmm, tried that and got pkg: Error: Forbidden

are you root?

and a pre built version of pkg could not be found for your system

rtprio: yes

"Forbidden" is almost certainly an HTTP error, rather than a local privilege problem

it happens when attempting to fetch pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/Latest/pkg.{pkg,txz}

and also kmods quarterly

I think otherwise the internet connection seems to work. I can ping www.foogle.com

www.google.com*

do you have links or lynx or wget or curl or fetch, do they return you the directory listing pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/Latest

httpd could be blocking your ip, or because of exceeded rate limit, or because of user-agent

hmm yeah I get forbidden there too

using fetch

can you check man fetch for some kind of verbose/debug mode where it prints all the headers

maybe there's a clue in there from the web application firewall such as "Request ID" which exists for debugging

I'll build curl and check

it's a long shot anyway, many open source projects have been pummeled by DDoS and AI scrapers, and most started using Anubis

the download mirrors do not use anubis, that would break all consumers of those sites

running curl -v I don't see any strange headers, just that it returns a 403 error from server nginx

mccd_: I just tried updating and I'm also seeing "pkg: An error occurred while fetching package: Unknown error"

also got the forbidden error using pkg bootstrap -f

this is on a 15-BETA3 system that's been working fine on updates for weeks now

pkg cdn got bust?

and you don't get dirindex from all of those dirs

largest, tho, i noticed

i was able to install b3 twice earlier :)

with xorg, xfce and firefox

earlier is like not today

Azure is or was having an outage, is that a possible cause
