Anybody want to tell me what CPU generations from AMD/Intel are supported out of the box? Like intel 2nd gen, AMD ryzen 5000 series and etc? Are there any sources that already list this or no? I would like to know.

A number of packages I try to build from PKGSRC now fail with similar errors about ignoring patch files due to invalid checksums. I've tried updating to NetBSD 11.0, fetching a fresh copy of PKGSRC, rebuilding packages like digest in hopes that would fix the problem, and a handful of other things I can't recall looking for the solution and nothing has worked.

The output I get looks like this when it happens (in this case, to GCC 15):

=> Applying pkgsrc patches for gcc15-15.3.0nb2
**************************************

and continues on for several more lines of the same before it gives up because most of the patches didn't apply correctly. Does anyone know what could possibly cause this? Thanks in advance!

Just curious. I'm also considering to contribute some, since I think I might finally have a machine that would be perfect for NetBSD.

Ran via compat_linux under fedora 44 inside /emul/linux, no GPU accel cuz I can't figure it out :3

I'm losing my mind over this. I have tried just about everything, setting load-base and real-base, using 0 bootr, and even using a floppy image... but I particularly keep getting a CLAIM failed! error every time I try to run it. What the heck is happening?! And has anyone managed to get NetBSD 11.0 running on a beige G3 at all???

The yearly funding campaign just wrapped up with a massive $120,282 raised against a $50,000 goal.

Great job to everyone who chipped in! 🚩

EDIT: Solved. Nothing to do with Fastmail. This was me trusting Windows Outlook to actually send TEXT when I explicitly set it for that account. It was still sending it as HTML. Solution: Installed Thunderbird.

I need to switch my email provider so chose fastmail.com. Twice now I noticed netbsd-users@netbsd.org is not accepting my fastmail.com email.

Anyone successfully using Fastmail with netbsd-users mailing list?

Heyo, I want to try netbsd on my thinkpad t14 and I was wondering how the wifi a graphics will work on netbsd. My graphics card is one of the newer iris xe ones and I know that my wifi card is an AX210 (covered by openbsd iwx) how would it go? The reason I want netbsd as I just want to try it and changing wifi cards or 24/7 usb tethering is not an option and there is no ethernet port.

Edit: I typed /efi in the title, but I meant /etc.

I used to just play with NetBSD, now I’m using it as a server. In the past when I run postinstall or etcupdate, I would choose to keep my edited files without allowing the upgrade to overwrite them.

Is it fine to just keep the old ones or would I have to merge new with the old?

I was able to update 10.X on my UTM virtual machine (Which i use because for some reason it will not work with later versions of UTM; and also later versions of NetBSD that are not 10.X won't work at all in UTM, especially when trying to run X11) after some false starts, i was able to fully update the system.

However, the current block to a "proper" upgrade seems to be that of pkgsrc's repo reference, tried looking around on https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/aarch64/, and yet there doesn't seem to be a new version of where i can point the defaults to. Am i supposed to update to 11+? Or am i still going have to stick with 10.1?

Bonjour tout le monde,
Dans cette vidéo j'installe et configure l'environnement de bureau MATE sous NetBSD 11. En plus de la vidéo j'ai créé une page spécifique sur mon wiki Ordunix pour cette Vidéo.

Lien de la page du wiki : installation sous NetBSD 11

Bon visionnage.
Bonne soirée les amis !

Installed NetBSD 11.0 on my machine. The pointer works at low speed, but loses at a slightly higher speed. This is not the case on Windows. The pointer sometimes stops functioning and comes back to work after roughly 0.3s. Scrolling doesn't work at all. The touchpad is I2C HID.

There are no pms from the ouput of dmesg. xinput shows only wsmouse device.

Obviously, NetBSD support I2C, so I think it's more of an issue on recognizing the device.

BTW, the touchscreen isn't working neither, but I haven't configured it yet because I don't use it a lot.

What extra information should I provide?

Or if there's more than just config issues, how can I do to start hack NetBSD and fix some problems?(I always wanted to get my hand on it)

LXDE, X11, Virtualbox.
SDL 3
I've built SDL3 with OpenGL support, but it still doesn't work, although for example glxgears does.

I put together a couple writeups about running NetBSD on the Inspiron 8200 and HP Pavilion zd8000. They are very performant under NetBSD and it is a great choice for these systems. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I had a lot of fun writing these.

I can't seem to pull this off, and trying to understand the manpages is driving me insane. I feel like I need a kick in the right direction by someone who actually knows what's going on. Please help?

Basically I wanted to try using NetBSD for fun on my laptop that I use for college to see if I can daily-drive it, but I need the dotnet sdk to work, and I wasnt able to make it work (neither on wine nor using linux compat). I know its just microslop spyware, but has anyone been able to run it?
