I have my own page on it at https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html. Much of it is also on vermaden's pages (I took some stuff from him, as usual). But it's fairly straightforward, or has been for me, anyway, installing a gui of Linux (or Windows or...

Or just install the Bastille extension as a single command from the GUI. I’m running that and it works just fine.

If it helps, XigmaNAS has the Bastille Manager plugin which allows you to graphically manage jails. You just need to install the OneButtonInstaller (which might be a problem -- low documentation), then select Bastille Manager from the plugin list.

Still nice of you to come back and let us know it was solved. By the way, if you have time, maybe you could post that working config, I'm sure someone will want to make use of it down the line. Not me, as I didn't get on this thread, as I like...

Really weird... For me I can install directly into UEFI just fine. What vm command do you exactly use for the installation?

rreboto I think you can also use "vm start -i <name>"/"vm console -w <name>". It will autoattach the console and wait.

I use XigmaNAS which is FBSD based: flawless I have a FBDS virtual machine for DnsMasque: also flawless.

AlfredoLlaquet I already am vegetarian, but I decided to shift the focus to quality. This means different cheese in the omelette, baking bread yourself, ... And dropping things like "chateau plaisir de clochard" from the shopping list. Life is...

Try adding (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 1) to your init.el file and then restart Emacs. Doing this means that you may lose the ability to use the C-h key sequence to bring up the Emacs help system. If so, you can always rebind the help system...

Try to connect via VNC to 127.0.0.1:5900 instead of 0.0.0.0:5900 - that fixed it for me.

That's an amazing number. I just checked: My server has 138 packages installed. Which means I need to go over them one by one and remove some.

Greetings all, I am using packages about 99+% of the time, but I am trying to experiment with using the audio packages for a cross-over. Thus, I need to build some of the packages with different options. Since this will represent minor number...

froggit9000, thanks for your advice. The key seems to be doing the "pkg autoremove" and the "pkg install drm-kmod." That updated all the drivers. Thanks.

Hi Here's an excerpt from my tint2 configuration: #------------------------------------- # Tooltip tooltip_show_timeout = 0.5 tooltip_hide_timeout = 0.1 tooltip_padding = 2 2 tooltip_background_id = 5 tooltip_font_color = #222222 100 tooltip_font...

I never use auto-hide but try to openbox -reconfigure. Maybe will help you.

Hi fernandel, thank you for your reply. I did that several times, even - being influenced by Windows - rebooted the computer. But, is it now solved, please see answer to fjdlr below. Hi fjdlr, thank you for your reply. In a meanwhile, I...

Most people in this thread just want to write, not read - IMHO.

DXVK has pre-compiled DLLs; they drop-in any OS's Wine prefix and Windows. I'm used to doing it the hard way :p With the latest tar.gz in Downloads folder (from Releases), I do this for a 32-bit DX9 game in new WoW64: rm -Rf '/tmp/dxvk-'* &&...

And since ai learns increasingly from ai, this is going to become worse over time. Yay! Job security!

Surprising nobody.

I just saw this one today on cracked.com. I don't think I've heard or read it before. A colon can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Example I ate Jane's sandwich. I ate Jane's colon.

To the subject of this thread: no. Now think on what I mean by that.

Right? Who gives a flying f... - I'll keep it PG. I worked at a small company where we only had two conference rooms. We moved to a new office, and had to come up with new names for them. Someone came up with "Tabs" and "Spaces", and I loved it...

Been in too many code reviews where some focused on "this is off by one space" or "you used the wrong camel case for this variable name" instead of "what are the requirements does this meet them"

Well, I was talkin' Java with Project Reactor. I don't know which is worse. I think we've settled on spaces, and the Checkstyle rules are set up to require "at least x..." In any case, things ain't lining up. I absolutely refuse to get into...

When I was much younger, yes.

It's odd how it can't seem to get indentation right. What it does passes checkstyle, and I'm being heavily pressured to use AI so... 😈

I am more concerned with non-functional changes such as reformatting and whitespace that usually go along when asking a LLM to make a minimal change to a piece of code.

To be honest, we kind of see that in humans too. The amount of incorrect / cyclejerk learning that goes on in reddit is cringy. Juniors enter the industry with heads filled with absolute crap (usually involving C++30 or Rust). So job security...

jmos, your right. For some reason all the firmware for Radeon is still 14.3, even though the Intel firmware is updated. How does one do a pulk update for the Radeon firmware?

That's the cleanest and easiest to do. It's all doable by hand but there's a lot of ZFS datasets (with specific options) that should be created and the installer does it all automagically for you. And it's always nice to start with a fresh new...

Let's just hope it's not a big 'credit crunch' that is coming.

Hi All Test result updated and thread changed to 15.0-RELEASE😸 Currently, switch build 15.0-RELEASE from source as follows. commit 63a5b645b23e1e1b6c5023a02703109282ef2a27 (HEAD -> releng/15.0, tag: release/15.0.0-p1, origin/releng/15.0)...

I have working FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE installation on a disk which is using UFS. How would I go about converting it to ZFS? Can I back it up elsewhere and then restore it? Or do I need to install FreeBSD to create a ZFS system on the disk first...

Same problem here. I'm running 15.0-RELEASE-p1 on a fairly new install. Changing permissions of /var/run/xdg/<user> did not help. I used your solution which seems to have resolved the issue.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it. (For guaranteed delivery) I'd tell you a TCP joke, but I'd have to keep repeating it until you...

They suggest the use of a memory managed language like rust or ada. It's not like they are prescriptive of the use of rust. I personally think that a disciplined usage of C is also okay. But you need to enforce that discipline, which is clearly...

You mean crash? Nothing new if you do not give me the exact date.

My most important on-metal use are two identical laptops with FreeBSD and Linux to compare them.

Run without desktop so that you can see the console messages.

The way things are going for years a security subforum will have no shortage of actual security topics.

LXDE. But I think the problem is with my SSD.
