Professional - all our infrastructure runs on a mix of FreeBSD (storage servers, lots of jails, gateways/routers, mail- and webservers), illumos (smartOS for VMs and lots of zones) and OpenBSD (firewalls/gateways/routers and mailservers). Our...

Do you mean this? I didn't spot it :oops:... (Seeed Studio BusPirate - GoFlex.net) (GoFlex.net - Seeed Studio BusPirate) ( nc - 1 nc ) ( 10 GND - serial cable GND ) ( 6 blue (aux) - 2 IN ) ( 9...

Thanks for pointing out the '-tui' option.... simplifies things quite a bit. I tried running gdb under emacs but it seems too complicated. I guess I need to brush on emacs to make the most of the combination.

We know a lot about custom apps, so if you tell us what it is, we may have a solution of some description.

Have you tried gdb -tui? It gives it more of an interactive interface (still in a terminal though which is a massive benefit). Otherwise there is Insight (https://sourceware.org/insight/screenshots.php) that looks good but I have never actually...

You could also use FreeBSD's implementation of VirtualBox and run OpenBSD in it. (Untested by me on an NVidia video, only used console). There's also bhyve, which I've not really used, FreeBSD's own virtualization platform. Or any minimal...

Many thanks, that did the trick.

The -tui option in GDB should still be fine for that. Hmm, you might need to try the others. I have seen an assembly listing in Code::Blocks before so I believe it can do it. I would assume that Insight would. Other than that, you may want to...

It's not exactly possible to comment on that without having seen the Makefile. Still, FreeBSD uses make whereas Linux often relies on gmake, so you could try using that. See devel/gmake.

Because of the NVIDIA GPU, you might have to make do with FreeBSD and the binary blob driver as the only choice (personally, the one I would go for anyway ;). Or if you really have your heart set on OpenBSD, then perhaps is a base Windows...

Reboot the machine. A uname -K shows the running kernel, a freebsd-version -k looks at the strings of the installed kernel. If you haven't rebooted these two won't match up because the old kernel is still active.

Yeah in the UK I've been to a few websites recently that have told me the content is not available in my country. I also see a lot of full screen privacy/cookie notices, many of which are difficult to get rid of on mobile. (The cookie thing being...

"Best" is subjective, what's best for me might be an utter disaster for you. That said, you may want to have a look at devel/ddd.

FreeBSD 7.0 has been End-of-Life since April 2009 (That's almost a decade!) and is not supported any more. Please stop using it. Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions https://www.freebsd.org/security/unsupported.html What kind of application?

It's not exactly possible to comment on that without having seen the Makefile. Still, FreeBSD uses make whereas Linux often relies on gmake, so you could try using that. See devel/gmake.

After running make I got hundreds of errors... Most of the errors are of the form:- Need an operator eg unexport LC_ALL Variable/Value missing from "export" eg export LC_COLLATE LC_NUMERIC Missing dependency operator eg ifeq ("$(origin V)"...

These are the things that happen when politicians and the public get involved with things they know nothing about.

Hi gang! I think we all know about the GDRP? The new data protection law which has been enforced by the EU last month? Just read an interesting article on the Register about this and I think it might also interest some of you. In short: a lot...

What do I need in terms of hardware to attempt this? I have my bricked GoFlex Home dock, my Bus Pirate, computer with FreeBSD, What else do I need apart from a USB cable for the Bus Pirate? One of these ?

I was messing with sysutils/flashrom the other day and noticed one of the ports options is for the 'bus pirate'. By default is is not turned on in the port options. I just looked and OpenOCD has bus pirate on by default. But this, from your...

sorry I dont use the FreeBSD anymore on this system, what I remember is that un/re-pluging the USB devices did not wake up the pc. as for the BIOS, not too many options there, but the suspend to RAM works fine under any linux distro.

DO'H! :oops: That'd be 255.255.255.0

Usually "Gigabit" is used to describe NIC interfaces (10/100/1000). Wireless cards are grouped by 802.11b/802.11g/802.11n/802.11ac standards. FreeBSD Handbook section 31.3 802.11n/802.11ac support 5Ghz and are "fastest". You can sort through...

You can try with iwm which support the following chips: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160 Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165 Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260 Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265 Intel Dual Band...

Thanks, shepper , and VladiBG for the replies! I should have probably added WiGig to the "tags", and my post. VladiBG Indeed. Intel does seem to have the largest selection available. They're also in the WiGig standards committee. I'm just looking...

I'm asking you because your Casa System modem behaves strangely. Do you know how your IP address block is routed? Normally the network mask is either 255.255.255.240 for providing of 14 hosts or 255.255.255.248 for 6 hosts. That's why i'm curious...

Well. It's supposed to be: ww.xx.yy.a1 ww.xx.yy.a2 ww.xx.yy.a3 ww.xx.yy.a4 ww.xx.yy.a5 ww.xx.yy.a6 ww.xx.yy.a7 ww.xx.yy.a8 GATEWAY: ww.xx.yy.1 and yes I guess that'd be 8 (assignable) IP's. I guess my mind added the GW. Looking closer, just...

Most applications should work out of the box there, only really strange and maybe buggy software would refuse to work. What is it that keeps you? Maybe the port maintainer or author can help?

I have a bricked GoFlex Home dock which I would like to try and recover, and have recently come across instructions for recovering a GoFlex Net unit... not really sure how much they differ, but should I expect to be able to do a recovery...

Was this the first time you updated the system? And do I assume right that you've used freebsd-update? If so then what does this command show you: grep -i components /etc/freebsd-update.conf? My guess is that you might have upgraded the...

LSCOLORS != LS_COLORS. It's true that zsh wants the LS_COLORS format for list-colors. You can convert your LSCOLORS to LS_COLORS via https://geoff.greer.fm/lscolors/ and then dump it into ~/.zshrc: zstyle ':completion:*:default' list-colors...

Must suppress urge to quote Bender... Can we get this from explecite circurity back near the topic thing that's often mentioned?

I am not following your question. Python is not the part of FreeBSD (as it is used for as a main system scripting language on RHEL). Both branches 2.7.xxx and 3.6.xxx in the ports tree are up to date just like packages. I subscribed to a point of...

trev is correct. Your only option is to upgrade to a currently supported version of FreeBSD. Which, at this time, means 10.4 or 11.1. See also this link.

If the disk doesn't contain any operating system files, then 0% reserved space is not a problem. The space-saving argument is interesting. Yes, indeed with a block size of 512 bytes, you will never waste more than 511 bytes on a partial block...

There is still lots of python 2 code around that will not be updated any time soon. For the time being (at least a few years), computers will need both python 2 and 3 installed. You can use python 3 for your code right now. Matter-of-fact, a...

See: http://distcache.freebsd.org/ I think you'll find ALL 7.x files are no longer available.

You can set -m to zero. Consider the consequences if this is the root disk, or any disk holding directories that are necessary for normal system operation (such as /etc, /var, /usr, and so on): A normal unprivileged user can then use the last...

For what it's worth; is s3 suspend the chosen choice in your bios ACPI options? Also, in it's current state; does unplugging, then plugging the USB keyboard/mouse wake it up?

hrenznaet The problem is, you think BSD should be just like Linux but BSD would never want to be just like Linux. If you want a Linux system, use Linux and leave the rest of us alone.

Firstly; apologies if this belongs in network/wireless. But given this is about the card (hardware); this felt like the right place. :-) OK. now to the question; Has anyone tried with any success to get Gigabit wireless working? If so, what card...

In other words; you'd do well to try either versions of 11, or 12. :) --Chris

Hello VladiBG , and thanks for the reply! It's a docsys 3 based modem, and as a result, the "access" to much of the configuration is fairly limited. I seem to remember having a web based GUI "setup", and possibly telnet access when I initially...
