    Where to get /usr/ports/UPDATING when using packages only?

    Since the beginning of my FreeBSD journey I'm using ports to install software. As compiling ports and all their dependencies becomes more and more a time consuming and frustrating task, I would like to switch to precompiled packages. For ports (but unfortunately not for packages!) the Handbook...

    Retrieving files from tftpd

    Optional to comply and mandatory to pay to read the specs?! Do you know whether the user interface of a tftp-client (e.g. command line options) is defined in POSIX?

    Found bug in port but maintainer unresponsive

    Trihexagonal: Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say in the context of this thread. In the meantime someone took over my bug reports and commited the fixes to the ports tree. So the bugs should be fixed. Sadly the result is a patch in the ports system and not a fixed version in...

    Retrieving files from tftpd

    Is there an authority responsible to ensure that command line tools behave exactly the same across different operating systems?

    Found bug in port but maintainer unresponsive

    I saw this before and tried to contact the maintainer on the old, the new and the private address. It's a simple tool without a need for permanent updates of any kind just to make it look "active". I tried to set a "maintainer-timeout" as Alexander88207 proposed, but I'm not sure if I did it...

    Found bug in port but maintainer unresponsive

    Four months ago I opened 251618 and 251619 and attached small and simple patches. No response until now. What could I do next?

    I filed two issues in the GitHub repository in February. I'm going to report it with FreeBSD Bugzilla now. Thanks!

    Found bug in port but maintainer unresponsive

    Thanks for you reply! I'm not sure if it is a good idea to provide the name of the port or a link to the repository here, because I don't want to blame the developer/maintainer. If someone is able to help I cold provide those information in a personal message. Is there an "official" way or...

    Found bug in port but maintainer unresponsive

    Hello, I found two simple bugs in a port. The ports pkg-descr points to a GitHub repository where the port is developed. I filed two issues there along with the description of the problem and a possible solution (patch) 10 months ago. I also sent an email to the developer which is also the...

    Solved Thinkpad X230 crashes on suspend after BIOS update

    Thanks, SirDice trying to help. Just curious, is there a particular reason that an enabled TPM module could prevent suspend/resume other than having another device enabled which loads kernel code? I verified the BIOS settings again and TPM is disabled (Security Chip = Deactivated) like before...

    Solved Thinkpad X230 crashes on suspend after BIOS update

    Hi, I updated the BIOS of my Lenovo Thinkpad X230 to incooperate some security updates (Intel AMT, Spectre...). Since then suspend (acpiconf -s 3) is not working anymore. The machine just crashes and restarts. Suspend/resume was working fine all the time before the update. I'm...

    Solved Getting sound to automatically switch to laptop headphone jack? (X1 Carbon 6th Gen ThinkPad Realtek ALC285)

    In case of "Intel High Definition Audio" changing the audio configuration during runtime using sysctrl works if you do it right. As per manpage you have to commit your change: Example: sysctl dev.hdaa.0.reconfig=1 sysctl dev.hdaa.1.reconfig=1 I highly recommend to read snd_hda. It's not...

    Other gmirror - Which disk contains the most recent data?

    Thanks, Bobi! Sounds like a reasonable approach. But I still ask myself, how gmirror acts in this case. I mean it's the same situation when powering on a computer and having two disks (or consumers) mirrored which _should_ contain the same data (= rebuild not necessary). But what if the data is...

    Broken acpi_video on Thinkpad X230 since upgrading to 11.2

    Another Thinkpad X230 user here. Suspend/resume and brightness keys are working also in 11.2-RELEASE (-p4 at the time of writing). But I don't use acpi_video and also no acpi_ibm. I have i915kms_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf to get hires console output (i915kms module from the base system, not...

    Other gmirror - Which disk contains the most recent data?

    I have two hard disks in my drawer which still contain data. I haven't used them for some years now. Initially they were running in a RAID-1 setup using gmirror. Before I put them in the drawer I used one of those disks individually for some time (i.e. without having the second one running in...

    Solved fluxbox 1.3.6 issue on 10.1 amd64

    Same problem here. Thanks for this thread! I did a fresh install of FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE amd64 GENERIC-Kernel (Thinkpad X61, Intel driver with 965GM) one day before fluxbox 1.3.6 appeared in the ports and everything was running with fluxbox 1.3.5. After I updated the fluxbox port to 1.3.6 my...

    Roundrobin or loadbalance?

    My opinion: You should never ever use round-robin when you use TCP. Period. Go with loadbalance. Take the warning about the packet reordering serious. In your setup with round-robin the first frame is sent out via ibg0, the second via igb1, the third via ibg0 and so on. As Uniballer already...

    Are there any tools available to transfer data via sysex to MIDI devices? Could not find anything within the ports.
