    where is "base" llvm-config

    Hi all! where is the llvm-config for the "base" system ? I have no llvm-config. I am trying to build code that looks for it. I want to use the system compiler, if possible, corresponding to /usr/bin/clang I only find llvm-config10 llvm-config12 llvm-config15 but those live in /usr/local/bin...

    ArcticFox as potential Firefox/Palemoon replacement

    Did anybody further work on this? Still some interest BSD-Kitsune? I am continuing work on Linux/NetBSD/OpenBSD yet FreeBSD has issues with arc4random. I am pulling in build infrastructure updates, let's see if they help. PS: even on older FreeBSD where everything compiled, certain videos made...

    ArcticFox as potential Firefox/Palemoon replacement

    argwings crashes may be due to optimization flags on compilers. Just to be sure try a -O0 and if that works, a -O1 build. On NetBSD and Linux ArcticFox runs stable with GCC 10, 11 and 12 while on mac apple's clang 10 does fine, so compiler support has been updated quite a bit.

    ArcticFox as potential Firefox/Palemoon replacement

    How did your attempts go? I just did another release at the end of 2022! One year later... I have issues with various BSDs, especially with FreeBSD. Startup cache needs to be disabled. It compiles and works fairly well on 12.2 (certain things make it crash, which do not on Linux and Mac, e.g...

    [nvidia] legacy support on production releases - nvidia.ko unsupported

    Fine. Now that everything upgraded, I confirm nvidia 340 drivers load. I do not have a nice console, but X11 comes up and seems usable. Acceleration has issues, e.g. when running webgl samples tests in firefox, some shapes are black. I believe this used not to happen, but I have no proof :) I...

    [nvidia] legacy support on production releases - nvidia.ko unsupported

    SirDice, thanks. Yes I did. I re-run pkg upgrade which did several times ask for confirmation and afterwards I did re-run freebsd-update insta. Just to be sure I do rerun it now... and wow, there were more :) Apparently the previous upgrade broke, because I am getting this error: I fixed it...

    [nvidia] legacy support on production releases - nvidia.ko unsupported

    I have a laptop with nvidia which requires the 340 legacy driver. I upgraded to FreeBSD 13.0 and nvidia does not work neither in console nor in X11 and in dmesg I see this: I have this: nvidia-driver-340-340.108_2 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering can this...

    amd64 - 13.0 installation fails: ISO bootloader fails

    Hello - I am trying to install FreeBSD 13.0 on an HP ProBook and failed any attempt. I did upgrade BIOS to the latest version available, but no help If I use the "BIOS" mode and boot an ISO, I get a BTX halted issue on the bootloader very early: the effect is very similar to this thread...

    legacy nVidia on FreeBSD 12.2

    Hi all, I have a laptop with a legacy nVidia in a laptop (so well, can't change it) I just installed 12.2 on. I have another laptop with a similar card, running 12.1 and the legacy drivers "fine" so I fear an update!!! first, I tried using nvidia-drivers-304 as said here...

    Text console missing lines/wrong form factor

    SirDice, I think you have a point... it must be the internal LCD. Internal screen is a classic 4:3 1024x768! If I attach an external monitor and disable the internal, with same aspect ratio over VGA, then on that one everything is fine! Strange to have such an issue with the built-in LCD.

    Other msdosfs (fat) time shift / time zone issues

    Hi! While debuggings some synchronisation issues, I found the root cause to be in a "date skew" when mounting FAT filesystems. When seen on FreeeBSD the date is shifted exactly currently 2h compared to what the same volume mounted on Windows (which I would consider "reference" here). Since I...

    Text console missing lines/wrong form factor

    Thank you. I tried both. Setting kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1024x768" gives me exactly the same appearance I was getting without, so it is the kernel's default. It means... the kernel has some issues with the framebuffer on my card. I suppose the framebuffer needs the vesa kernel module and since...

    How FreeBSD utilize multicore processors and multi-CPU systems?

    I have a Pentium-D which is Dual-Core, it will say: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s) The second CPU is launched: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! and everything looks smooth!

    Text console missing lines/wrong form factor

    Hi! I boot FreeBSD 11.3 on an older Laptop, Acer, with OpenChrome videocard... and some lines on the console are not displayed, which is pretty annoying, since you don't see the root prompt, the console prompt... I get displayed 25 lines of text, but the console "thinks" there are more...

    re-getting/installing pkg with a broken pkg

    I removed them immediately after checking they did not work. It is not the correct solution but sometimes it is a quick fix to get it running and then clean up later. Sometimes I had luck, sometimes not. This time not. But bootrastrap-static was the fix.

    re-getting/installing pkg with a broken pkg

    Hi all! I did upgrade a Laptop which had an outdated 10.x to 11.x .. I followed the usual rule of upgrading packages before re-running freebsd-update, but evidently I did something wrong and so some dependencies are not cleaned (I think pkg did not upgrade all packages for some reason and I...

    user password not recognized anymore

    malavon : thank you, that command fixed it. A dangerous happening during the upgrade! Luckily fingerprinting access worked, otherwise I would have been locked out.

    user password not recognized anymore

    I did uprade with freebsd-update not through a source upgrade. My user is still there, as said, I can login using fingerprint authentication... vipw shows my account. Instead of an *, there is a long encoded password. If I run chpass my full name shows up as well as default shell, so I suppose...
