>Should I use -release or -current?
-If you're using it in your home machine, then -current is most likely what you're looking for since it contains updated packages.

-Just run sysupgrade(8) as root.

>-current
No.

Yeah use an os that cuts the processing power of your computer in half by disabling hyperthreading. Great plan.

So, installed but I cannot start xfce.

>exec startxfce4

>still using fvwm

Current is super stable, is not like in Linux land. 99% of people who use OpenBSD in their workstations should use current.

I use -release
am I retarded?

It is very easy, user
openbsd.org/faq/current.html

Once you start following current you will no longer have to compile updates and security patches from ports

the startx command looks at .xinitrc
openbsd uses xenodm which looks at .xsession
mv .xinitrc .xsession

openbsd.org/faq/faq11.html

but I just use mtier and syspatch, user
what else do I need for a headless machine

also, no need to reboot
pkill X

Thank you very much! Now works!

So, I have a Polaris card. For get amdgpu driver, I need to migrate to "current"? I need download a file to upgrade my system to current or I only need a command from terminal?

No need to run a command
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

nsa# sysupgrade
ksh: sysupgrade: not found
nsa#
Are you fucking kidding me?

OP is retarded, all his advice is for -current.

Next time I will update this OP post. Now, how the hell I put AMD GPU (Polaris) to work?

Everything can be solved if you read the man page.

man.openbsd.org/sysupgrade
>sysupgrade first appeared in OpenBSD 6.6.

So basically if you want to use the new shiny tool that will appear in the next release of OpenBSD you have to do the change from stable to current the old way.

No. Read the official OpenBSD recommendation:
"New users should be running either -stable or -release. That being said, many people do run -current on production systems to help catch bugs and test new features."

Source: openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html

Ah you mean theoretical, proof of concept, never-ever even once seen in the wild exploited vulns? Yeah ok.

You mean the proof of concept, theoretical, never-been-exploited-even-once-in-the-wild vulns? Lmao fuck off faggot.

The average person who browses this board is a power-user. They will be better served in the long run if they run current, specially now that sysupgrade(8) will appear in the next release, everyone will be able to follow current.

OpenBSD current is not some fucking bleeding edge "shit breaks every update" arch Linux shit. OpenBSD developers actually expect to run snapshots in production.

Yay! This thread is back!

I was very worried considering how the last one ended. I think this OP may be new.

I'm the same OP. Now I have installed openbsd on a second SSD.

The old OP had a point though, why spend time and energy only to get insulted by 10-year olds who never wrote a line of code in their lives?

That's good to hear, keep up the thread!

Thanks and check em

This is FreeBSD's method, not OpenBSD's method.
In order to activate it on OpenBSD, you either have to wait until the amdgpu kernel driver finishes the testing period and gets released publicly, or use it right now by compiling a custom kernel with the amdgpu lines uncommented out.

Damn, I don't know how to compile kernel on OpenBSD.

Forget

It's not hard:

He has a point. Tons of stuff will break if you do a sudden switch like that.
People who want it can enable it themselves for the time being.

Pick one.

You forgot to delete one draft, insecure boi.

sysupgrade(8) is not available in 6.5, it's currently available for -current only and will be available for -release starting from 6.6.

The average OpenBSD -release user is a power user.

Are there gonna be any OpenBSD meetups for Defcon27?

Hi, I'm trying to repartition my installation, I booted to bsd.rd, but only one of my drives show up (sd0), I installed obsd on sd1, but it only shows up when I boot to my full installation. Tried plugging in a pendrive (sd2), same problem. Anything I could try?

For the new comers who've found OpenBSD because of work routers or internet memes.
Do not run current.
If you need to ask why, do not run current, if you feel insulted by me telling other people to not run current you are probably well into the OpenBSD head space and don't quite get what happens to people who think they're helping when they run current and don't read manuals. The usually pick up freebsd and miss the point entirely due to mailing list fun.

is this from the sysctl hw.disknames? or a boot msg, I've had drives appear very very late in boot due to being wd1 many times.

Well, I'll try

It shows up in sysctl hw.disknames but when I try to fdisk sd1 it just says no such file or dir. Also no stuff in /dev/
