Is pkg prime-list simply a synonym for this?

You could try: pkg query -e '%a = 0' '%n'

This point, I would like to voice my disagreement about. The ports (as in software packages, not TCP/IP variety) are something that is part of the FreeBSD project. I would think that the Foundation has quite a bit of say in how that part of the...

I have just run pkg prime-list on two FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE systems and it works OK on one, but am told 'unknown command' on the other. How do I go about making this command work on the other?

The file /etc/freebsd-update.conf contains a line : "ServerName update.FreeBSD.org". You could try to change this to something better, depending on the situation. Put a line "Components kernel" in it, to see if you can only update the kernel...

I run all web browsers in a jail. I thought this was common practice. OP: I highly recommend following this: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/ Take your time to learn how to do it right. If you are happy to sacrifice some...

I have tried running freebsd-update about ten times over the last couple of days, both 12.1 -> 13.0 and 12.1 -> 12.2 and maybe 100,000 files have been downloaded (unless they are stored in cache somewhere after an unsuccessful update) The update...

Not sure if you had already run across this feature request (233310, but there has been some progress on it: Add support for jail.d As you got me reading jail a bit more thoroughly, it should be noted that there is dependency support baked into...

The whole point about open-source and free software is that we (users) all have the same privileges and capabilities to access the software. So you do have the same privileges as the rest of us and always will so long as the project is under free...

...and if you're up for simple web experience you might use minimalistic browser, whose attack sufrace is next to none, as a native process. Are you aware you can run those programs from different user accounts? You're paranoid about security...

DO NOT quote my post into another thread to bait me into discussion. Don't do it.

Because statistics don't exist that satisfy you or anyone else's burden of proof. I can provide phoronix articles putting it up against Linux FS and you say that's biased or not good enough. I think UFS is a nightmare to maintain and lacks the...

Porting XFS to FreeBSD would not just be a port, since the Linux kernel and therefore XFS in it is under the GPLv2, which we all do know is incompatible to the BSD license of FreeBSD. So this would be not just a port, but in reality a rewrite...

And to make sure that proficient developer does not inadvertently copy existing GPL-ed source code, they would pretty much never have worked on the Linux kernel file systems, in particular not that XFS implementation. Otherwise, the owners of the...

X ssh forwarding to a jail has many problems with many X-applications. It works only good with simple X-programs.

For the past week or two, I've been thinking about that: What would I personally want to be improved in FreeBSD? Unfortunately, this thread here was terribly disrupted by two topics (KDE and XFS). And the bigger problem is that in my use of...

Hi all, I have a simple LAN file server running v12.2. The OS is installed on a 120GB SSD using the ZFS defaults: $ sudo gpart show /dev/ada4 => 40 234441568 ada4 GPT (112G) 40 1024 1 freebsd-boot (512K) 1064...

I actually consider OpenBSD to be a great product, and very good at what it does. It has a relentless focus on high quality, achieved through clean and careful implementation, and removing unnecessary features. This leads to excellent security...

The applicant might have had more luck with the immediate predecessor of this hiring manager: a bit taller and a lot more flexible.

Sorry, I mean zdb, not zbd. Typo. Errors: In the output you show at the top I see a few error 97 = EINTEGRITY, and at least one 5 = EIO, for pool rpool. If afterwards you were able to read the data with dd, that might mean that the error is...

Do you provide the $jail{0,1}.fstab as "fstab" inside your jail.conf? Drop that and use your own shell mounting code in the prestart and poststop hooks. I had similar issues with nullfs mounts and discovered sometimes jail mounted in the wrong...

Yes, exactly. Not sure that I need the poststop.sh script (shutdown and autounmounting is working fine), but I like the idea you've got going on with prestart.sh. Reading a bit more into jail, I think I'm going to give it a (f)stab (hah!) using...

Try running GDK_BACKEND=x11 wings to see if you get past the crash. I'm interested to see does the environment render for you. I think it might be an error in the underlying erlang bind to UI which is either gtk3 or wx depending on the build (in...

Context - I'm trying to use Wings3D as a tool in C++ development project that's currently rendering via OpenGL 3. I'm a long time user of FreeBSD/nVidia as unix workstation and my main desktop. I use Blender for other parts of the project and I...

AFAIK OpenBSD is far from dying, and doing quite well. OpenBSD's main thing is security without compromises, and that means they are taking more drastic actions compared to other OSes in order to achieve it. You can like it, or not, either you'll...

It's only weird 'cause you didn't paste all of it. Here's the missing piece: @FunctionalInterface public interface TailCall<T> { TailCall<T> apply(); default boolean isComplete() { return false; } default T result() {...

That's 'cause it's a straight copy-paste out of Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43937590

Yes there is a good way using pip. 1. Always use pip as regular user, never as root 2. Always give the parameter "--user" when installing. So pip will stay out of your system directory. Pip always installs in...

For clarity, GUI works on my side, but widget with 3D scene does not render at all. I can still mouse click to get the menu, make a basic mesh, then if i manage to click where the mesh got dropped i can get its context menu. So the GUI works but...

Please post output of pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network.

it supports section number argument, but it was optional for man and mandatory for pman. I changed it to optional for both.

You could subscribe to Freshports RSS feed. The RSS feed can be limited to show only new ports (PHP 8.1 port would be a new port, lang/php81 for example). For details see "flavor=new" in https://www.freshports.org/backend/newsfeeds.php

Please tell how it goes with the RELEASE verson. In my tests 12.3-RC2 had the same framebuffer problem as in 13. And yes, 12.3-RC2 had the support for i219.

I am having the exact same issue on a new build with an Asus Business Motherboard Pro H510M C-CSM. 13.0-RELEASE stops at framebuffer information and 12.2-RELEASE does not have the ethernet driver. I am holding off on installation until...

Does the device appear in dmesg, and is it a USB or build-in device?

rm <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rm&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+Ports+13.0#SOURCE> shows this, somewhat ambiguous: /src/cmd/rm.c At <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rm&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+Ports+8.2#SOURCE> for...

Main parts of the showbiz are run by narcissists. And, does the audience care? Nope. What counts for them is the product, like a great movie, and not the assholish personality of an actor/actress, as long as he/she does not commit justfiable...

I haven't followed this topic, but reading your last post about the reason for recursive functions: well it's more of an academic exercise than anything else. Dah! With small functions it can be more readable. With larger functions it can be a...

OK, thanks. If there's no intention for MAN to exclude ports – as can be done with the CGI – then we might be done here. Test: rm with MAN not excluding ports produces...

Apart from the issue of backwards compatibility, the (extra) burden is there. Currently, MAN maps to base + ports (I suspect PMAN is used far less). Therefore, MAN can be used indiscriminately, even by an "ignorant fool". That means the writer...

Man bbcode currently generates links to man pages of freebsd-base and ports, hence false.
