@alfonsosiciliano FYI the NVIDIA-related comment at <https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/1646122-freebsd-desktop-installer-option-working-through-nvidia-driver-handling-licensing?p=1646147#post1646147>
(I replied with a quote from slide 133 of your presentation.)
@lproven also:

β the linked 'KDE with Wayland' document puts KDE in context (with Xfce and others).
It's very likely that issue 28, or the linked document, has been in conversation before β¦ I don't expect things such as these to be imprinted upon people's memories

@lproven thanks again.
I don't intend to test the desktop-installer package with 15.1 on real hardware. A guess: the semi-technical blurb below might partly explain the problem that you encountered.
Numerous fixes and enhancements reached the ports collection (distinct from base) on 1st June β a combination of <https://github.com/outpaddling/auto-admin/releases/tag/0.8.5> plus <https://github.com/outpaddling/desktop-installer/releases/tag/1.2.0>.
Timing: the changes reached latest, but not quarterly. <https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/auto-admin/#packages>, <https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/desktop-installer/#packages>. They'll hit quarterly in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Defocusing from auto-admin and desktop-installer (in ports) and the future desktop with FreeBSD Installer (in base), here's another strand:

We booted Debian and FreeBSD 15 using QEMU accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone for the FreeBSD community and beyond ! : r/freebsd

οΌFurther development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can use another hypervisor. This time in cooperation with the storic and mature QEMU. FreeBSD is second to none.
This success has been possible thanks to the competence of Abhinav Chavali who started this project for the GSOC 2025 ; thanks bro.
It's built on top of dumrich's work. β¦οΌ

οΌβ¦ CHERI trivially blocks this attack and likely many others. As LLM-driven discovery accelerates, the case for memory safety by design becomes stronger.οΌ
