There are "several suggested ways" to make the default X cursor BIG so you can see it if it's tiny. The below script allows selection of "Use Type1 for big cursor" or "misc big pcf cursor" methods. $ x-cursor-big 400 Type1 I think misc works and looks nicer for 4k than Type1: $...

I wrote a script called check_balance it calls check_single_quote check_double_quote check_brace check_bracket it's not sophisticated but I do occasionally use it

depends on which shell. tcsh has '-n' and bash has ? --debugger (i've never tried it) I use -e the use of {} is better than "If ... then" and pretty portable I once wrote a script that reads 1 line of a shell script at a time, uses "sh -x" on it, waits for keypress, but only worked if there...

anyway! just fishing for info on what people know about FreeBSD kernel RESET/HALT where in kernel they are, or if they know it must be in c7, or some "convenient information" about reboots

it is mathematica 12.2, the kernel works but not the front end. 11.3 (with java replaced with 12.2's) works, 11.0 works. So something in 12.2's front-end. I have a knot of "ldd" reports MANY libs the front end "pre-requires" (remembe netscape navigator loaded it's own objects and could run if...

a long time ago when I used to use desktops i liked GNUStep, but used KDE the most GNOME less. Gnome was slower, less features, behind the times, harder to set up. that was way back. I used UEK linux which had gnome3 i think - vesa support - very slow and buggy (not all the point/click worked...

pageout failed; blkno 1950541,size 126976, error 22 look at the code and post what error 22 is is pageout a block on it's way to being encrypted? or is it an encrypted block being written to disk? i read only the linux swap kernel design only (which has mem caching for...

Obviousy one cannot say if your network is up (you gave us no ping stats or ifconfig), if ssh /etc/ssh.conf or /usr/local/etc/ssh.conf might have been replaced, if "run_sshd=YES" is in your rc.conf still, if kldload needed was not loaded. I can say what was the old guru trick in the 1990's...

were any compat/linux involved? May 15 03:05:18 shadow kernel: #11 0xffffffff8050a75d at sysctl_root_handler_locked+0x7d it appears (some app: which?) used sysctl to set a parameter (perhaps a hardware driver parameter - free bsd drivers sometimes use sysctl, so check that) and either your...

A "major" linux app (for ubuntu-18-20) (uses Qt, QtOpenGL and Java, is multi-threaded) actually causes FreeBSD to reboot. No messages in /var/log why. The app runs as a normal user. The last version runs very well: but the GUI has compiled against "new versions of everything bad" (not that...

"When you install void-linux or alpine-linux your radeon videocard or intel-audio soundcard is also not automatic detected. Even debian linux install does not detect my sound card." Yea. Win10 detects my sound but keeps killing the TV speaker sound driver for the motherboard sound driver...

FreeBSD has devfs and devd which use PCI to auto detect and trigger some scripts not others. Gnome3 makes use of some of these making (wifi) a matter of enable/disable: but you don't want gnome running on a production server. So what I'm saying is "you check the PCI tree and kinda throw away...

Thank you. It'd be very difficult to track down why these things happened. "Clang can very well build LLVM and itself without gcc" did you say BBC custom? :) well I was (trying to) build LLVM bootstrapping earlier to later, recently. i had to first upgrade my gcc to compile LLVM. llvm...

Right. Nor an Android label since that requires 100% android compliance. To answer the wtf questions. Drivers working are important for the future it is needed to keep end users ... using the system. You can say "supporting Steam games is crazy", but it means "drivers working", meaning libs...

# Intel C++ Compiler # Android Studio I would like to work on one of these. Is this the right place to ask about "wanted ports" or only orphans here? Is there an orphaned package that is more important than bleeding edge graphics? I am unsure though if it Intel can be done without kernel...

I agree with the above, while demented, Android is "suggested as developed on Ubuntu or Win10" because the powers that be arrange it to be that way: you never know if there were uploads that acted to "keep it that way" or not. Also: VMs and "container apps" are how they are skirting the issue...

Update info. * Versions 12.0-12.3 not only crash but cause soft-reboot of PC * 11.3 is nicer (fonts!!) and appears to works well with slight addition: $ cd /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/11.3/SystemFiles $ cp -a ../../12.2/SystemFiles/Java/ Java/ Java/ However this Java issue is...

I found security holes in GNU linux's "login.c" which included pam login (borrowed from sun which bsd borrowed). I hope FreeBSD doesn't use that code because I found a few holes fixed and posted them but no one ever looked. Browsers? I think all today's bloated web browsers used some webkit...

authenticated FTP allowed by default, ftpd installed by default. that could GO. i ran an ftp server once and other than a very few downloads all i got was attempts from france and china to upload a W95 ftp worm

Why was PC BSD canceled? Why doesn't FreeBSD have any hardware detection like 501c enabled Win10 does? I mean, ok, it's kinda easy to get intel based sound working (it did NOT work through my TV's speakers, er, not yet?). But increasingly there are SO MANY things to get working ... you know...
