Again, it is because you are using CURRENT. Don't use it.
Did I say CURRENT? I meant STABLE. Which is weird because shouldn't something called stable be the version you release, but release is a separate one. It's confusing.
You need to read the handbook before you start spouting judgments about the releng process.
STABLE is cut from CURRENT. RELEASE is cut from STABLE.
Yeah I got that thanks. It's a very odd way to label things. It doesn't follow industry standards which are normally: alpha, beta, release candidate, release.
Or even the debian method of: unstable, testing, stable, oldstable.
Please quote me the relevant "industry standards." It is all perspective, and FreeBSD releng certainly does not cater to what some rando online might think is an intuitive way to name release trains. This has been done this way for 30 years.
Never used current, I went with stable. What's the solution?
To what? Provide the error message and stop asking to be spoonfed? And you can hit ^L to make the install refresh the screen like with any curses program, fyi.
It's USB related. Probably an unsupported device. If it's really an issue I can address it later but first I need to get the thing installed. Also I had no idea you could do that with ncurses.
ubt0: ubt_bulk_read_callback:1131: bulk-in transfer failed: USB_ERR stalled.
Also ctrl+L isn't clearing the screen.
That is your bluetooth adapter. Just disable it, press 3 at the boot menu to break to loader prompt and
set hint.ubt.0.disabled="1"andbootI managed to fix it using some command from a forum luckily.
I now believe it's Bluetooth related. Boads well for using Bluetooth devices.
An idea, maybe just stick to Linux if first class hardware and proprietary software support is what you're chasing.
I hardly use Bluetooth. But yes I don't think FreeBSD will work on my laptop for example. It has issues with the keyboard on that machine.
Running FreeBSD on a laptop newer than 5ish years old is asking for a bad time no matter what. Linux has Intel and AMD engineers implementing power management for their parts. FreeBSD has no such help. Your laptop will likely be idling at a much higher power consumption than it would under Linux.
