       Ah OK sorry I'm using Wayland and I'm not sure how it would work in X11.

       On the plus side you've then got the rest of the day to yourself. Well maybe?

       No computer tinkering this weekend for me as I'm babysitting three of my grandchildren at their house in Peterhead. On the plus side they wanted MacDonald's last night and MacDonald's messed the order up as I discovered once it arrived. So I complained and they gave us another complete order too. The kids were well chuffed and stuffed. ðŸĪĢ

       Never used it but is the host correct ? Should it not be mastodon.bsd.cafe ?

       Still I cannot doas sysupgrade -s past 14th May snapshot as the /bsd kernel fails to boot. Both you and I are fed up hearing this too. So today I'm downloading OpenBSD 7.9 and I will wipe my desktop and start a fresh in the hope that once it's installed and I switch back to -current it'll still boot the kernel ?Yes I know if I stay with -release it'll be all good under the hood but that's just not my style. I like to moan incase you've not guessed yet ? ðŸĪĢI am however reevaluating my BSD of choice and the outcome probably will partly depend on how I progress. :beastie: or :openbsd: ???

       OK then. I have just dowmloaded the #OpenBSD 7.9 img and done a fresh install on my desktop machine wiping everything from the past out. It boot perfectly fine on release so I proceeded to switch to my usual -current as per the docs and it ran through the upgrade without issue.Can you guess what happened when it tried to boot the /bsd kernel on this intel i5 machine ?That's right it failed with the same error 255 that the bugs mailinglist told me was an issue I had probably caused so go reinstall. I knew it wasn't me as it was extremely strange how I could rollback to the 14th May or earlier with out any issues it always booted the /bsd ( MP ) kernel but after the 14th May it would not but would boot the copy I had of the last working /bsd renamed /bsd.xyzI'm too tired to go back to the misc or bugs mailinglists to be told it's me. I know I wouldn't have got that response from the #FreeBSD devs so maybe it is a sign from above ? :runbsd:

       No I haven't in fact I do not thinks it's me as I did as they said and wiped my system. Reinstalled OpenBSD 7.9 release then switched as per the docs to -current and guess what. It fails to boot /bsd again as it did before I wiped everything out.

       Don't apologise it really isn't your fault at all. I just find it strange that for near a year I have been running -current on that same machine and randomly the kernel stops booting after the 14th May snapshot. I can easily rollback to any date before that and it boots perfectly fine.

       Thank you so much. I just find it strange that I seem to be the only person with this issue so far.
