Been there, done that. :) Seeing your code make me homesick for my project. Maybe, someday, I'll resume it. Not that I have any (really) ambitions to do anything with it .. but it's fun.

I don't believe this is one of the chipsets with AC working on FreeBSD. AFAIK only the AX200/AX210 families work with AC right now.

There's a daily 411.pkg-backup periodic that backs up the package database. Look in /var/backups/.

In short, if you want to track 15.0-STABLE right now there are a few modules that are not ready yet (i.e. virtualbox-ose-kmod-72-7.2.2 and possibly others). If you want to track releng/15.0 you have to disable the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository...

To rule out potential other issues, can you do something similar on a wired connection? If that works fine we can assume it's the wireless network that's causing the issue. As far as I know this is still somewhat of a work-in-progress, what...

I plan to upgrade to 15-RELEASE when it comes out... but at this point, I can only express surprise that there's such a major change in the behavior of pkg... small wonder people are complaining that pkg is unreliable. Consistent documentation...

There are 21 posts mentioning Xlibre in this 123-post, 5-page thread. Five of those 21 are by you. Wayland is probably mentioned more, though I didn't bother to count those. Edit: and one of the 21 is a post explicitly pointing people at the...

Nah, you're not... I personally am a fan of git, as well. I don't have a good handle on how to use it, but I am aware of the benefits, and it is on my bucket list to make the time to learn it properly.

I am not sure. As said above, the man page is not clear. It speaks about "pkg-origin|pkg-name|pkg-name-version" and "pkg install is used for installation of packages from package repositories or local archives." I put chrome alone in a...

They keep bringing it up specifically on this thread. Why does this keep popping up?

Yeah, that was bad, though it introduced me to three-way diff and I never looked back. Did you ever have the misfortune of having to use Microsoft Sourcesafe? I guess I'm the lone Git fanboi here. I'll do my duty and represent. I led the...

As I said, that isn't more or less likely than on independently published source code. You generally can't block scrapers from accessing source because you need things like ports to be able to download it outside a web browser.

What are your requirements? One developer, dozens, tens of thousands? How big is your repository? Do you need to store binaries in the repository? Do you need security and access control? Is it going to be used within a single closed environment...

My understanding is that OpenBSD hacked up CVS to do a few more tricks, such as atomic multi-file commits. The FreeBSD move to git was unavoidable because svn sucks.

Look at "4.4.6. Installing and Fetching Packages" here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/#pkgng-intro

but can it run crysis ?

I can't speak for the moderators, but I would be interested. I think our off-topic subforum can carry that.

I admit I haven't been around much lately, but haven't seen any of these advertisements. Got links?

There is no perl file in base.

Agreed. You can see a good example of that on this recent OpenBSD mail list thread. (some idiot wanted to start removing stuff because "they didn't need it and its old") There are a couple of companies currently trying to monetize FreeBSD, so...

I have to say I disagree with the whole premise that FreeBSD Xorg is bloated. So that was the kinda thread I had to stay out of. Some inflammatory remarks I understand. I am working with 16GB SSD and I don't see the problem. Run a light desktop.

I think I had it with your Rust in FreeBSD claims. What are you doing?

Agreed, also I quit reading the xlibre rant by sidetone after I saw only expletive and opinion in the first few paragraphs and no facts. And of course, no sources.

This has been going on as long as OSS has been relevant. Microsoft and SCO were doing this crap in the 90s, and they still continue. They just now try to be more subversive and quiet instead of being big, loud, and in your face.

Actually the state of technology has never been better when it comes to innate backward compatibility ... we have been using a same architecture standard and instruction set for 20 years which is completely unimaginable for the olden days. E.g...

Since I moved to quarterly packages a week ago, I had one run of "pkg upgrade" that would leave me with botched desktop. Pkg wanted to upgrade nvidia-kmod, new version is a mismatch for my nvidia-driver, so I had nvidia-driver marked for removal...

At my work, we enforce pinless bitlocker on Windows computers and VM's. This creates a problems when running a Windows 11 VM in bhyve, as everytime the VM is started or restarted, it triggers bitlocker recovery due to secure boot not being...

What's in dmesg? Did i915 initialize or complain about something?

The full path is needed, for example: pkg install /var/cache/pkg/package_name-x.x.x.pkg Found in this thread

Yes, this is a difference beween Linux and FreeBSD. Most Linux iso's, as far as I know, can be burned to a USB and used as install media. FreeBSD requires that you use an img file. (Putting this here in case a web search leads someone to this...

Did you load the i915 kernel module?

That WORKED!! Thank you so much.

It's not. Do you have a console log? Or do you have one from a new one? What happens now when you try?

The Linux kernel is full of workarounds for known-twitchy USB devices. If you can find it in the quirks table it can be ported to FreeBSD.

Power management is another possible explanation. But generally, a 5-10% difference in stream won't show up in real applications other than maybe heavy cryptography.

Look into /var/cache/pkg. This directory is used to cache fetched *.pkg to install. pkg does not have functionality to install *.pkg on remote repo directly, so need download to somewhere on locally mounted filesystem. If the pkg still remains...

25G in the directory, many versions of chromium. How? Just filename instead of name? EDIT: Answer found in Handbook. Man page is not clear.

Which image did you 'burn' to a USB stick? The ISO or the memstick one? They behave slightly different when it comes to booting.

It remained after update and worked. As said, I deleted it and could not install it anymore. The question was: how to install a package for 14.2 in 14.3 ? I suspect, I have to temporary change /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf , but I fear...

I really advise anyone using blacklistd to check their /etc/blacklistd.conf for netmasks and to restart the service after fixing them. It is very likely that you're not blocking what you think you're blocking, and on a busy server this can...

I have a Beelink SER5 with 32 G of RAM and 16 (threaded CPU). (Of the 32G, I think 4 is used for the GPU by default and I've left it at default). Anyway, ungoogled chromium took me around 12 hours plus or minus to build. The Beelink isn't the...

Ages ago, but this has been a consistent issue with blacklistd for me over the years, and I got caught by it again today. As a punt, I added netmasks to all addresses, including single IP addresses (so, added /32 to those). Problem gone. Every...

I managed 74 wpm, that was using thinkpad keyboard. Would probably do better with a good mechanical like a cherry G80, and wasn't trying very hard. It's not a very realistic test though because there are no punctuation marks or numbers. Still...

Use your phone for banking. Make sure that there's no lingering processes or accounts on your phone. Though, I've needed Chrome for another purpose. Chrome requires Linux compat. Don't recall if I tried if www/chromium would work for purposes...
