Hi, I am using FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE. With top I noticed a particular PID with very high CPU usage. ps faxuww shows this: root 27155 5.0 0.1 32956 20640 - D 03:01 15:55.64 find -sx / /mail /usr/home /usr/src /var/mail /dev/null (...

userxbw, type "man file" to see the various options.

Unfortunately, looks like there are even more bugs in 12.1 with VNET jails. The system panics during jails stop.

There's only one of me, and yes I am real. I love FreeBSD and love helping people.

Probably not, p11 was an update for timezones; FreeBSD-EN-19:18.tzdata

That ended the error messages but OpenDKIMis apparently not signing.. which is use to DKIM check details: ---------------------------------------------------------- Result: none (message not signed) ID(s) verified: NOTE: DKIM checking...

userxbw, There is an executable called "file". Use that followed by the path and name of the file and it will tell you if it's a text file or binary.

So-called file extensions (.jpg, .doc, etc) are a relic from the old DOS era (8.3 file naming). Unix(-like) systems have never relied on them. Heck, even Windows doesn't actually use them any more, although it still insists on that naming convention.

Any file can be opened and read with fopen (as long as you have read access to it of course). The file's actual content is completely irrelevant. What determines the type of content is dictated by the first few bytes, generally called the...

That was a suggestion I made 4 years ago for a completely different and unrelated issue.

Have you tried setting milteropendkim_socket in rc.conf instead?

Why do you think it's called "single user mode"? There is only a single user allowed on the system, no login required, and that user is root.

darn. stupid typo and small script// color me embarrassed again.. but I am still getting Starting action milter-opendkim .. Starting milteropendkim. opendkim: milter socket must be specified /usr/local/etc/rc.d/milter-opendkim: WARNING...

Because the port/package is named that way. It's just part of the name, it has nothing to do with the FreeBSD minor version you actually have. To be honest I think the minor version shouldn't be part of the name, as it's intended to be used on...

I used to use Draytek but have become a fan on Mikrotik for small office or home use now. Something like the well named RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN would be a great router for a FTTH connection, isn't badly priced compared to "higher end" brands and...

These don't match. Localhost is 127.0.0.1, not 127.0.1.1.

According to that chart I should be looking for:- PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3 SoDIMM Does that mean that this type won't work? PC3-12800S 1600MHz DDR3 SoDIMM

Look into creating a custom install with bsdinstall. And also pxeboot. There used to be an article about setting up a "Jumpstart" server but it's rather old. It may still provide lots of clues though. Don't look too hard at the details, make sure...

No need for all that, you can simply boot to single user mode, mount the filesystems read/write and change root's password.

Is this the sort of thing I need?

So you seem to have 2 SO-DIMMs installed, 1x4GB and 1x2GB. You can now google for the value in 'Part Number' (e.g. 4GB one is https://www.skhynix.com/eolproducts.view.do?pronm=DDR3+SDRAM&srnm=HMT351S6CFR8C&rk=20&rc=module) and buy similarly...

Here's what I got - a bit overwhelming.... I guess I need to run it with some parameters... # dmidecode 3.2 Scanning /dev/mem for entry point. SMBIOS 2.6 present. 101 structures occupying 3655 bytes. Table at 0x000EC620. Handle 0x0000, DMI type...

You can try "dmidecode". It will tell you all about your RAM, among many other things. pkg install dmidecode Here's info about my RAM provided by dmidecode" Handle 0x1101, DMI type 17, 27 bytes Memory Device Array Handle: 0x1000...

Try sysutils/dmidecode: ... Handle 0x0024, DMI type 17, 34 bytes Memory Device Array Handle: 0x0020 Error Information Handle: Not Provided Total Width: 72 bits Data Width: 64 bits Size: 8192 MB...

Is there a command I can run to determine the type of memory that isinstalled on the system? HDT does a pretty good job. I'm hoping to add some memory to a system and want to be sure I get the right type.

this is why I burned RC's to stick and boot that to see whats what, RC2 still locks up on my laptop so I bug reported it, and my system still works. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241340 - [META] FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE blockers

Hello everyone, Someone knows why for new driver (i915kms.ko from ports graphics/drm-next-kmod) it is not necessary to create configuration for Xorg? Simply leave file xorg.conf empty without specifying the driver .

Can we cut out the ad-hom stuff, please?

It is. The server is just called an appliance.

It is. The server is just called an appliance.

The only reason I mentioned the Linux modules was because this:

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that Netflix was streamed from servers running FreeBSD.

Netflix is really a specialized appliance that happens to run on FreeBSD.

Good advice about geeqie. I use it to cull my photos. Large thumbnails in the left pane and large view of the current image on the right. Enable "Safe delete" and disable "Delete confirm" for quick work.

Well then, many viewers will let you delete photos on the fly. No special marking/tagging needed. If I were you I'd get Geeqie back working, because in Preferences > Behavior, you can untick Confirm file delete and tick Enable Delete key and...

Your system is 8 months old, upgrade your system first and try again.

After adding a new device (nvram) the kernel compiled flawlessly with the MACHINE -flags. If I had not understood this not yet twice. In fact there has been an issue in the makefiles here at the LD_EMULATION or similar just at arm64. I just don't...

FWIW, I have a 1 Gbps internet connection (technically it is FTTH, but it ends in a Genexis Platinum 6840 gateway, so my router / gateway / firewall only sees a Gigabit Ethernet interface). My gateway / router / firewall is a Shuttle XH61V...

Since you already have ssh access, sysutils/fusefs-sshfs is quite simple; just install the package, check that the fuse kernel module is loaded, do sysctl vfs.usermount=1, and you are ready to create a mount point and mount your storage server...

If you have to ask you'll never know. Who is torturing themselves? You? I'm having a pretty good time: Why would I? I'm using a Win7 era Thinkpad W520 with Intel Quad Core i7-2760QM @ 2.40GHz, 8 GB RAM, HITACHI Travelstar 500GB HDD @ 7200...

This is a little embarrassing even for me. I actually had worked out using OpenDKIM on my FreeBSD 11.2 server but I had a "oh no" with Bind9.. So my assumption is something that I did to fix that had a negative impact. I used...

Can you post the output from uname -K? And pkg info -x drm-?

Leave resolv.conf as is, assume your DHCP server is configured correctly and the information it's giving is correct. Run host pkg.freebsd.org. If that provides an answer then your DNS resolving works.

What version of FreeBSD? What brand/model wireless card? Which driver is used? How is it configured? We're good but we're not clairvoyant. We have no idea what you have, how your system is configured and what you're trying to do with it.

The easiest way to test if the layout is wrong or not is to enter some of those special characters at the login prompt. You'll quickly see if the keyboard layout is correct or not.

As somebody that came from OpenBSD you should be familiar with the fact that root is not allowed to login remotely. A trap I fell for more than once, take your keyboard layout into account. Certain symbols move around when a different keyboard...

Use rndc-confgen to generate the RNDC key. Write it to a file and you can include it in named.conf and dhcpd.conf (assuming they both run on the same machine). dice@maelcum:~ % cat /usr/local/etc/namedb/ddns-key key "ddns-key" {...
