I wrote a script to help for an upgrade with freebsd-update. Instead of using it, one can simply read the README, the conf file example and understand the logic behind an upgrade. https://github.com/Emrion/bin-upgrade PS: I used it to update 14.2-RELEASE to 14.3 but I did 14.3 to 15 by hand...

The goal is use cuse to create a userspace device through which another process can read from or write to said device. About cuse4bsd - this was written by Hans Selasky. It became a part of freebsd base prior to December 2019. That's why the port was dropped. So far I can create a device node...

I finally managed to get my bridge10/bridge40 interfaces to acquire both IPv4 & IPv6 addresses from my router on the correct VLANs, and after confirming multiple times that there were indeed no differences between my manually created bridges and the jib bridges, I guess the problem that kept my...

I don't think drist was on github (maybe it is...I dont know). I got it from Solene (her repo) when I forked it. Clone my md2mdoc repo. I have the markdown file I use in the doc folder I use to create the manpage. Then play with mandoc(1) with something like (to demonstrate how to convert a man...

No, not 100%, it does not show the option letters. Cheated, but ask it to correct it ... This script is a fork? Perhaps chatgpt knew something before? I have the impression that, due to the AI hype, people expect too much from AI. Since I was always skeptic, I see what is there not as crap...

@victort bsd-apps looks awesome!!! I'll definitely be looking closely at that, as you have scripts for at least 4 things I need in there. Here's my question on this: the README mentions: "Mount your directories and set your properties and variables as needed"... but how do you mount datasets...

I have ssh access. Don't need another kind of access. I take care for, write and support the software side. Upgrades are very stable -- atomic, with easy rollback. There are tens of other systems set-up the same way. Have systems with uptimes of 600+ days. Back this case. Don't think the dd...

I read the link with much interest but couldn't understand these instructions:- My reading is that you create three empty files with names in uppercse because this is crucial and then you proceed to overwrite with names in lower case! I'm missing something here.

Put it in an AI engine, it will get immediately what it does, perhaps with some imperfection, but it gets it. Then ask it if sed is not better. What it does not get, is, that it is designed for TeX. Then enter that it is for TeX and ask the AI engine for its opinion again. I deleted the...

Now I challenge you. Read the script and tell me what it does and how much time you spend guessing. Later you can throw into an AI machine, it will tell you what is does. #!/usr/opt/bin/tclsh proc txl_strf {char str i} { while {[set j [string first $char $str $i]] >= 0} { set i [expr $j+1]...

Sounds as if you're using the older fcitx rather than fcitx5. (I think FreeBSD only has mozc with fcitx, and with fcitx5 you have to use anthy) To quote my own page https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html about FreeBSD and fcitx (as opposed to fcitx5

#include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { const char *spec = "/dev/ada0"; int fd = open(spec, O_RDWR); printf("open '%s' = %d, %m\n", spec, fd); return 0; } -> open '/dev/ada0' = -1, Operation not permitted # truss /tmp/wropen...

From my experience you cannot modify a partition that is already open (i.e. to delete a partition that is currently mounted), but you can add new partitions and delete unreferenced ones freely. Mounting a partition from /dev/gpt/<label> will hide other labels/aliases, i.e. /dev/da0p3, and will...

Yes, research and understanding, and a bit of grey beard to be alive and using DOS 40-45 years ago. For that 512 byte first sector to be bootable, the last 2 bytes should have the hex value 55h AAh. Find a bootable DOS disk and use 'dd' to copy the first 512 byte sector into a file...

I couldn't reproduce with this: $ truncate -s 128M zfs.img $ sudo zpool create testpool ./zfs.img $ sudo zfs create -o compression=off -o encryption=on -o keyformat=passphrase -o keylocation=prompt testpool/crypt $ sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/testpool/crypt/testfile bs=1M status=progress $ sudo...

It is a nanobsd system; root file systems are read-only by default (and by design). However it is a drive issue -- physical or logical, but there is no indication for either, apart from this "Operation not permitted". Same error if I try to modify the partition table, which should not have any...

I've seen and had way more than enough of this "computers trying to anticipate/foresee/think for me helping me to don't make mistakes/know better than me, what I better going to do/suggest me some" - BS. Doesn't matter if it was "Clippy" (one of the worst). Some telephone bots "helping"...

OK, so, under working directory /var/db/gitup, there is no .git subdirectory. Create a new directory under /tmp and add it to /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf. No difference. Now I have these lines in /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf. I can run gitup ports just fine; so I suppose proxy is not needed...

Hi, I just installed a 14.3 VM and when I ran gitup, after editing my /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf so that release read 15.0, I was able to run gitup release without a problem. It may have been a temporary glitch that bxbzq ran into.

This was extremely helpful. I used this post to add a `-9` option to /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh. That has been merged and if all goes well be back ported. The review shows how to use it and use a work around for 288444 (nested filesystems can't be shared).
