    Noob problems with xorg.conf glxservernidia module does not exist

    Hmmm... Is it possible your laptop uses NVIDIA Optimus, which is meant to switch between graphics cards on-the-fly? Your easiest option might be to try to disable one graphics card and just use the other. Are there any settings in the BIOS that would allow that? Alternatively to make Optimus...

    Noob problems with xorg.conf glxservernidia module does not exist

    In general it looks like you are moving in the right direction. Have you tried plugging in a USB mouse to see whether it is just an issue with the touchpad configuration at this point? Responding to your posts, let me take your latest ones in order. Regarding Xorg.0.log, a good place to start...

    Noob problems with xorg.conf glxservernidia module does not exist

    I have some concerns about the values in the xorg.conf file you posted: You have listed two separate Device sections using the same BusID value, which I don't believe is valid as it would mean that you are trying to attach two drivers to one physical device I don't believe that i195kms is a...

    Noob problems with xorg.conf glxservernidia module does not exist

    Hi Trogg, I've always found setting up x11/xorg to be a pain, particularly on laptops. Don't despair -- you will get it working ? Your NVIDIA card looks to be supported, having looked at the NVIDIA driver page. Try specifying the BusIDs for both cards. I would also echo i1045 's suggestion of...

    Problem updating packages

    Many thanks, bapt@ , the patch is looking good. Thanks also for clarifying the meaning of MIRROR_TYPE in repository configuration files. IMHO for your next release it would be worth expanding on the MIRROR_TYPE information in the pkg.conf man page to explain when, why and how to use the...

    Solved Forum PR tag issue

    I could swear I just put in the number as per my example above but perhaps I had just been staring at screens for too long. I see the tag in the other thread has been fixed by a kind mod, thank you.

    The PR tag doesn't appear to be working properly in my post in 89687: 272674 I see: 272674" href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272674">PR 272674 Identical example that seems to be fine: 272674

    Problem updating packages

    I did some more investigation into my issue and believe there may be a bug in ports-mgmt/pkg. I will log a PR unless someone beats me to it. Version 1.19.2 works just fine and appears to use fetch, which I can see when I run in debug mode with pkg -d update. Version 1.20.4 does not work...

    Problem updating packages

    Hi Scanline, your issue sounds like a different one and it would probably be worth starting a new thread and providing some more details such as whether you are using the FreeBSD package repositories and if so whether you are using Quarterly or Latest (see the FreeBSD handbook page on binary...

    Problem updating packages

    I'm not using mirror_type: "srv" in my configuration: my_poudriere_repo: { url: "http://user:password@repo_server.local/${VERSION_MAJOR}${VERSION_MINOR}${ARCH}-default" enabled: true, signature_type: "pubkey" pubkey: "/etc/ssl/keys/my_poudriere_repo.pub"...

    Problem updating packages

    I have exactly the same issue, also relating to hosts and jails running FreeBSD 12.4, also installing packages from a poudriere build. I think the suggestion from sko is a good one though it requires downgrading ports-mgmt/pkg for all affected machines/jails that can't currently read from my...

    Solved Nanobsd: "missing directory in specification" while building disk image

    ulzeraj, I came across your year-old post whilst trying to build a NanoBSD image for the Raspberry Pi B. I've encountered similar issues with the NanoBSD tool scripts that I'm trying to resolve. However, I can help with your specific issue of wanting to copy files into the FAT filesystem inside...

    Mirror Swap Or Not ?

    I'm with Zirias. Swap is essentially an extension of RAM and I certainly don't mirror my RAM.

    How do you connect to a jailed server?

    If you want your jail to use IPv4 with DHCP then VNET will indeed work. A quick search on these forums and the web picked up some threads and tutorials that will point you in the right direction. An alternative would be to use private addresses for your jails and configure NAT on your host...

    ZFS Native ZFS encryption coming to FreeBSD 13

    The March/April 2020 edition of the FreeBSD Journal reports that native ZFS encryption is on its way to FreeBSD. Thank you, developers! No more need for stuffing ZFS pools inside GELI containers :) And here was me thinking that having repartitioned my latop to use 12.1 with the fancy new UEFI...

    Solved ZFS: certain files disappearing after each reboot

    :oops: I was wrong about this . The "device busy" error message about zroot/usr/home is appearing because it inherits its mountpoint value from zroot/usr and so when you tried to change the mountpoint for zroot/usr you were in fact trying to change the mountpoints for zroot/usr/home ...

    Solved ZFS: certain files disappearing after each reboot

    In itself it isn't a problem to have unmountable ZFS datasets to group child datasets together. However, it is not what you expected. When I use such unmountable grouping datasets on my systems I set the mountpoint property to none so I'm not confused about the relationship of ZFS datasets to...

    Solved ZFS: certain files disappearing after each reboot

    Whoops. I should have suggested running zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/zroot_usr zroot/usr (noting the addition of the ZFS dataset name). If this dataset has never been mounted there should be nothing on it. When you said in your earlier post that you had migrated your systems from UFS, I assumed you...
