So, I have been trying to enable the nvidia drivers for my old GT-520 card in my downstairs machine, and not having a lot of luck so far. I did pkg install nvidia-drivers-390 and everything went ahead apparently correctly. That was followed with...

They don't copy things like partition table, boot sector and the like. They can only backup/restore UFS filesystems. In this case a blind 1-to-1 copy with dd is probably the easiest to do. On the new SD card you may get complaints from gpart...

Hello, I want to access my files on a FreeBSD server via ssh/sftp using a file manager on android. I was previously using ES File Manager on my phone and it works from years. Using a new tablet, I discover that this android application is no...

Work from this: zfs list -r -t snapshot -H -o name | grep <something> | xargs -n 1 zfs destroy Run this a couple of time without the destroy pipe and verify the list is really what you want to throw away.

Common newbie mistake. Entries in rc.conf are shell variables. Your second definition overwrites the first. ifconfig_bridge0="addm vtnet0 inet 192.168.122.2/24"

Yes, that helped! Thanks

Fought the same thing a last week when migrating boxes off of ports OpenSSL to core's. Try: pkg delete cmake pkg delete jsoncpp cd /usr/ports/dns/bind-tools make all install clean This resolved the build issue for me at least.

The solution is to give LightDM permissions to the video driver. Stop any running X11 sessions, and run the following commands from the console: # pw groupmod video -m lightdm # service lightdm restart

Try moving the IP address from vtnet0 to bridge0.

In 12.0-RELEASE-p10 we did zpool upgrade and on some pools we enabled zfs set dnodesize=auto pool. With all of the pools were we set the dnodesize to 'auto' (and therefore resulting in feature@large_dnode = active) it is not anymore possible to...

start_precmd="/usr/bin/umask 077" This is the approach here. Yes, you need to set procname with /usr/sbin/daemon too-- nice catch.

Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions

That is probably true. Anyway, thread is being closed now.

What are you hoping to run ubldr on?

Yeah, as long as the status of ZFS in Linux remains questionable (kernel devs hostile to it, out-of-tree etc), there is no danger of FreeBSD becoming 'second class citizen' in OpenZFS.

1) Don’t conflate Linux developers and ZFS on Linux developers. 2) the OpenZFS plan going forward is to have FreeBSD, MacOS, Linux, and any other supported platforms to all be hosted in the same OpenZFS repository (renamed from ZFS on Linux.)...

This is Linux, there is a new one started from scratch every week and then abandoned before they finish it --- like BTRFS.

The Valuable News weekly series is dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX or BSD systems. Whenever I stumble upon something worth mentioning on the Internet I just...

Any last words on this topic that are worth adding? Anyone?

I place said code in the equivalent of make.conf. (For people who use ports builder tools, that can be a number of places, for people who build ports manually that's in /etc/make.conf) I hesitate to submit a PR because a) I don't know exactly...

There is a PR on bugs.freebsd.org that links back to this thread, so it's kind of circular... :-/ The current PHP maintainer closed that PR a while ago. I will try to build it in my poudriere instance. Please update this thread with your efforts.

How do you compile ubldr? e

One thing not clear was Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT is in supported list. Today I just figured out the root cause! load nvidia module from /boot/loader.conf no longer works for unknown reason. nvidia-modeset_load="YES" load nvidia module from...

They're going to leak your data slowly and will leverage all the computing power they have to track you, while shitting on the efforts of other browsers and undermining their reputation. Screw Google. It has turned into the next corporation of...

If you show your face in public, you have never had any expectation of privacy. Going down the street: People can see you. That's the definition of "public". Sure, you can play tricks (tinted windows while you get driven in your limo so people...

What is the most secure OS available? Well, why don't we ask the people who have the most sensitive data? The NSA, the white house, the spy agencies? Answer: They run a variety of OSes, including pretty generic Linux versions (like RHES) and...

Note that a few of the other big browsers (Firefox and Safari) have already banned third party cookies too. Anything that helps keep some of your information private is a good thing, even if this one doesn't make a huge difference.

ShelLuser This is more roundabout. Because so many twats out there share everything, you are expected to do that also. And if you don't, that is suspicious. Just ask any minister of interior...

Uhm.. so they took photo's from Facebook (stuff people shared themselves) and use those for facial recognition? So instead of going all drama with "the end of privacy" remarks I think a much better issue to raise here is this: Why expect privacy...

Computer security isn't defined by the tools you use, simple as that. Heck, I could even harden Windows if I want to.

You are most welcome.

I have always heard how rock solid FreeBSD is as an operating system and if you only have one or two machines, it's alright, you know, no larger issues. freebsd-update isn't great but it's not terrible either, although it's biggest flaw is that...

Be carefull of PfSense where you put things as they may disappear with a reboot.

No. They will try to get exception from this. Please read 1984 on how and why this works. It was a f-ing warning, not a manual!

You probably forgot to run freebsd-update enough times (hint: it asks you to reboot, then run freebsd-update install again, to install the userland parts).

First check that your zfs root pool is ok. Boot from a liveusb and check it.

I just ran into the same problem when dns/bind-tools was updated. I don't think this is related to sthg in dns/bind9*: I deinstalled bind9 ans still couldn't build the bind-tools. So I reconfigured bind-tools and removed support for json, and...

As of today, FreeBSD Forums staff will actively close down (and eventually remove) topics that serve no other purpose than to complain that "FreeBSD is not (like) Linux" (or Windows, or MacOS, or any other operating system), or that "FreeBSD does...

Correction: This happened when updating all ports with portmaster. Things seem to be in order now. Is the lesson here to update ports frequently ?

Daniel Suarez might be right. Go read his books.

Spoiled students... ;) But you may have a look at 'minit' from fefe, it's said to do all that but also that looking at the code will make you suicidal.

i uninstalled the package, which removed the whole python 27 package. It got rid of the error, but might have broken things. Don't know yet.. still compiling everything.

After doing some more "research", deleting retroshare and any and all directories and files associated with it like /var/cache, those in my user home like .retroshare..., then reinstalling it by pkg install restroshare, then working with it for...

Sadly, only "enterprise grade" Samsung SSDs have power loss protection. The 970 EVO Plus does not, so it's not suited for a separate ZIL (a.k.a. SLOG). However, as Eric A. Borisch indicates above, you will probably not benefit from a SLOG with...

Try reinstall py27-setuptools - recent version is py27-setuptools-41.4.0_1.

I discovered that the Live environment was able to mount the drive and locate my files since it seems the shell wasn't able to do that for me, I removed the lines in loader.conf which the system was able to boot the drive upon reboot, I'll try to...

Yes it was, I've corrected it. I'm trying to figure out how I can mount the drive since I'm not able to get access to it from the shell since I tried mount /dev/ada0p2 /mnt, the files that exist in the mnt directory is the ones coming from the...

I explicitly ran reboot and the default route persisted? I've done it twice now?
