Does anyone know where or what the error is: (MEZ 23:22 will look to morrow for an answer - thanks) I have build all dependencies for MySQL-Client 80 separately - no error. but cmake especial the part Shpinx has problems make in...

Currently I have in /boot/loader.conf only: nvidia-modeset_load="YES"

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I properly apply this patch to the file (I assume from the info it is /usr/src/sys/amd64/vmm/intel/vmx.c that I am patching), and properly rebuild and install only the bhyve components? I see many references to...

As with any open source project, there is always the long term risk that the project in question might be abandoned some time in the future, due to lack of resources or interest. My view (FWIW): OpenZFS has less chance of getting abandoned than...

If you haven't already, try different usb ports for the mouse. Some motherboards have usb ports that are not equal (no, I'm not thinking about usb2 / usb3 here) when it comes to keyboard and / or mouse.

Are you adding the nvidia_load="YES" to the /boot/loader.conf? Apparently there is now a modeset version, required on newer cards. I believe you need one or the other. Not both. #nvidia_load="YES" #or #nvidia_modeset_load="YES This can also...

That looks like leftovers from a previous ghostscript9 installation. I suspect there are conflicting files with your current ghostscript9-agpl-base ( 9.52_4). That ghostscript directory should look like this: ls /usr/local/share/ghostscript/...

I tried rebuilding the latest version of the driver (440). Something is wrong, it cannot detect any output. Without any xorg.conf graphics starts only on one monitor (out of two), xrandr shows only "default" output with a couple of modes. With a...

It seems the pkg version depends on both gtk2 and gtk3: % pkg info firefox firefox-77.0,1 Name : firefox Version : 77.0,1 Installed on : Thu Jun 4 09:08:10 2020 MDT .... Shared Libs required: .... libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0...

Hi everyone! I've noticed that my www/firefox uses gtk2 (I build it locally), but the rest of my system is using gtk3. And in many places there are posts that it is supposed to use gtk3. Doesn't anybody know how that happens and/or how one can...

Advantage of having it fully built in: less complexity in configuring the kernel. If you are sure that you will always need it, there is one fewer configuration setting. In the old days, when it was reasonable to create a kernel that didn't use...

Everything is a module. Integrating them just means they're statically linked in the kernel. It's still a module, so there's no difference in this respect. For development dynamically loading modules is easier to work with. You just need to...

As far as I understood the port it installs a driver. You probably need to load it with kldload, then plug in the webcam. Look at the files it installs: pkg info -l pwcbsd. Specifically look for a file with the *.ko extension, that's a kernel...

They both build from the exact same source and at first glace just look like two different ports for the same thing. Looking at their respective descriptions I suspect you need multimedia/pwcbsd as that installs a driver for this webcam. With...

And, also I'm trying to run your suggested commands, and I get: $ mkdir /tmp/zroot_usr $ # zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/zroot_usr missing dataset name(s) usage: set <property=value> ... <filesystem|volume|snapshot> ... The following properties...

Note that since the canmount property of zroot/usr was set to off, that dataset will not have been mounted at reboot.

You are right asteriskRoss, I did: $ zfs get canmount NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE zroot canmount on default zroot/ROOT canmount on default zroot/ROOT/default...

asteriskRoss thank you for pointing that out. The ZFS setup was done by FreeBSD installer. What could be the reason for that? So, that I could investigate it.

Note that since the canmount property of zroot/usr was set to off, that dataset will not have been mounted at reboot.

I figured this out. In my case, I messed up ports and packages so that led to the errors I attached. (True newbie mistake, yes). After rebuilding qt5 related packages I got if (soap_socket_errno(soap.master) == SOAP_EINTR) line (and broken KDE...

Gawd, I hope not. Unlikely that we'll get core's attention on this, but it's worth a try. Strikes me this is definitely in their wheelhouse. Twist arms to make needed changes happen.

Thank you all for your help and informative responses; and, sorry for the tardy response. I checked the ZFS logs after another reboot and it seems everything is fine: dmesg | grep -i zfs ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default if less than...

Exceedingly likely that this is NOT a problem with ZFS, or your disks, or in general your OS. Yes, it is theoretically possible that a file vanishes on a hard crash ... if you don't use various flavors of fsycn, sync, O_SYNC and all that, and the...

Are you sure this couldn't be the culprit? Or some other script?

I have seen such a thing. The problem in that case was that ZFS dataset was not automatically mounted after reboot. Try zfs mount [-vO] [-o property[,property]...] -a | filesystem All the "lost" files were actually on the unmounted dataset and...

I agree with Argentum that the most likely explanation is that one of your ZFS datasets is being mounted over the the top of a directory that contains data, which exists on another ZFS dataset. Since the files you are missing reside in...

Do a test restore before you have a failure. I learned this the hard way.

The counters in pf are reset on reboot so you need accounting software like netflow and flows then can be analyzed and stored using nfsen...

Do a test restore before you have a failure. I learned this the hard way.

I read it, thanks. FWIW, the way this was handled in Gentoo was to add an abi32 option (USE flag in Gentoo parlance) to the port. Not sure if that's a reasonable suggestion. I honestly couldn't follow all of the discussion at the link you posted.

Suggest multilib support as something the core team should look at in question 45 of the Freebsd 2020 community survey. I did.

Didn't realize OP's posting was from March.

Please upgrade pkg and/or ports ghostscript9-agpl-base first. Quarterly branch is at version 9.52_1 ( port, package ), head ports is at version 9.52_5, latest package is at version 9.52_4. Executing on 12.1-RELEASE-p5 pdf2ps -f 1 -l 1 input.pdf...

You can also use the port, edit the config.h file, and in the make install command use DWM_CONF="path-to-config.h"' Not sure what notes you mean but using the DWM_CONF and ST_CONF are in the Makefile. As for patches, that too, is pretty easy...

Does the mouse work on the console (without X)? It should work there too. And are these "fancy" mice? By fancy I mean lots of extra buttons, more scroll wheels, that sort of thing. Or are these just "plain" 3 button USB mice?

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

It's going to depend on the DHCP clients if it's going to include more information. As far as I know the dhclient on FreeBSD sends the client's hostname with the DHCP request, so that information should show up in the leases. But I honestly...

You say "expert" in this conversation, and the way you use it, I hear "Consultant."

Did you create or generate an xorg.conf? Remove it if you did.

Only /var/db/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases should exist.

Apologies, misunderstood your issue. If you are using net/isc-dhcp44-server, make sure that "-lf /var/db/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases" is set (should be by default in the rc.d startup script).

I ended up writing a small shell script that uses net/fping. I grep out the range(s) from dhcpd.conf and run fping -a -g $RANGE. I get the MAC address of each response via arp and then cross reference the MAC against the last entries in...

Ah darn. I was kind of hoping that was going to work. I was interested in how far you got because I have a (similar) Quadro that I was going to look at re-purposing. I can see our cards supported in the latest driver (440.82) here...

You need to have x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel installed too. It used to be a dependency of the full x11/xorg installation but that's not the case any more (look at x11-drivers/xorg-drivers). No need to recompile x11/xorg-drivers from ports, just...

Thanks for correcting me SirDice, but glad we could agreed that Zircon is not a monolithic kernel either :) If anyone would like to play with a micriokernel *NIX, I could suggest Minix or Redox. Only tried the former myself.

They explicitly state it's NOT a microkernel. They've used the core concepts of a microkernel but added a lot of non-microkernel stuff to it. So it probably falls in the hybrid category now. The Windows NT and MacOS kernels are hybrids too...

It's true that Fuchsia is not a microkernel, as Fuchsia is the whole Operating System. The kernel of Fuchsia is called Zircon, and is actually a microkernel, and is is derived from Little Kernel

Quite often you need to patch build scripts or other files in order to get it to build correctly on FreeBSD. That's all part of the porting process.
