Is there a way to get the information whether a package was installed via a binary pkg (and from what source) or was it built from a source within a ports' tree?
I see that I never mentioned in this thread that I also tried adding the hw.nvidadrm.modeset=1 to /boot/loader.conf, but I did try that as well, probably in July when dandelion first mentioned it.
GNOME isn't necessary what we all want. For example, I despise it. I will stick to XFCE for the forseeable future and thus until XFCE moves to Wayland I have no interest for it. COSMIC may change things, who knows.
Maybe your driver version is older than what scottro has, so it worked fine as is. The tunable in question was introduced during 550 update, likely to match Linux behavior where DRM must be explicitly enabled. This would explain why Wayland used...
I'm trying to figure out to get the date in dwlb. I can get it to display the date, but I haven't figured out how to get the equivalent of dwm's
while true; do xsetroot -name "$(date +"%R %F")";sleep 1m;done &
So the date stays static at...
I haven't tried MINIX because it's 32-bit only.
NetBSD is nice. It has some issues with UEFI and in a Dell laptop the keyboard doesn't work, so I have to attach a USB keyboard or connect via SSH. It has some technologies that would be nice to...

I have pulled an SSD out of a working Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 and replaced it with a fresh one. I am attempting to install BSD. However, when I do the install, I lose on-box keyboard functionality. I can still provide keyboard input through...

You really do have interesting off topic stuff. I'd go to Japan because I have limited time off, and my in-laws are in their 90s. (My wife is Japanese, which is probably obvious from that). If I had unlimited time, I would like to go to Thailand...
I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have it working with opensmtpd and mbsync. Once you have 2FA enabled, you just use an app password instead of the one you use for login.
In recent interviews with CIO Influence and the Sustain Open Source Software and Craft of Open Source podcasts, Deb Goodkin, Executive Director of the FreeBSD Foundation, shared valuable insights into the world of FreeBSD. Her discussions...
Like many others before me, I assumed that 2FA requires an interactive exchange -- you try to login, google sends you a key out of band (typically via cell phone of email), you then enter the key, and login completes. It seems I am mistaken, and...
The reality is that these AI tools are based on previous work by others. Many are no more than a search tool. Take that for what it's worth but I find most of the results from online AI stuff returns wrong or obvious results which have been of no...
exactly, the /home is still on root /
I had the impression that FreeBSD created the home on the other partition (HDD) now I understand that I had to make the link manually. oh crap that almost drove me crazy(*) lol .. thanks for the help!!

I vaguely remember filling in my form--it would have been on FreeBSD, using firefox. I usually use zathura for reading pdfs, especially pdf versions of books, but will use mupdf for simple forms. The only part of what the OP said with which I'd...
Ouch. Wait.. looks like it did not use the second drive for user's home..
That command shows /home .. and it's full , Def don't use the /usr/home , I bet I need to do this manually for the user... Thanks 👍
That's because GCC is patched on FreeBSD to search /usr/local/include for headers and /usr/local/lib for libraries by default.
clang does not have that peculiarity, so you have to use -I and -L to add those paths.
I understand that. I already added a comment about what I've been seeing to the bug report.
But I would hope that the developers pay at least a bit of attention to what users are saying, in addition to the bug reports. Sometimes feedback that...
thanks, well, as I see now the 'used' column contains the mounted /home as well (mounted on other HDD) (with the exception of the home, its 94GB and displayed there as 625M, but the 'size' shows the correct partition sizes..
Have you done a du -sk /* | sort -n and drilled down to see where the biggest use is hiding? Maybe there's a database in /var/db/ you didn't notice? Logging that exploded? A whole bunch of (big) packages installed (pkg info -a -s)?
fresh install of FreeBSD , just xorg/jwm/browser some utils , home on second storage device (HDD),

I have servers (VMs) with 40GB and even that has plenty of room to spare. It all depends on what you do obviously, but the base OS itself doesn't require much.
Update us, it sounds interesting too, though I'll probably stick to labwc and dwl when I use Wayland for now, especially as it's mostly just playing on laptops (both Linux and FreeBSD).
I ran 14.0 happily for many months on my AMD-based primary machine. It was absolutely reliable. After "upgrading"(?!) to 14.1, I am seeing one or two full system crashes/week. The crashes are clearly correlated with mouse events. Someone else has...

Not a bug. I can't reproduce your described issue.
Installed (in a VM) 14.1-RELEASE from the "Partitioning" menu, "Auto (UFS), /usr/home on second disk without problems.
Auto (UFS) -> "entire disk" -> chose second disk -> "Create".
No problems...
Are you sure you want to be so confrontational? I know it's not my business, but it is my idle thought that if you are doing something for free, and someone doesn't like part of it and wishes it changed, I'd be more inclined to do so if I were...
Careful with that -i 1. Last time your ada1 didn't have proper partition layout and partition 1 was in the pool. We assume you removed it already; then it doesnt' make sense to touch it at all.
cheers i know about the keyboard shortcuts
the issue is you now have to click a window to give it focus
instead of the window getting focus when the mouse is over the window
you need to install the dwl bar
