It would probably help if you showed the client configuration.

I found this nice page the other day that has a list of some useful hacks you can do with xterm. It's got quite a lot of useful hidden features. https://lukas.zapletalovi.com/posts/2013/hidden-gems-of-xterm/

Try 15.0-BETA4 (current upcoming 15 RELEASE). The 14 branch doesn't receive the newest iwlwifi driver changes. The receiving branches are "main" (CURRENT), 15.0-STABLE, from where they are merged into 15.0-BETA4. See "Please test new drivers...

With this config it will work with [CTRL]-[SHIFT]-[+] for larger font and [CTRL]-[SHIFT]-[-] for smaller one: - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2021/05/19/freebsd-desktop-part-25-configuration-random-terminal-theme/

Shoot. Because of this several projects including Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, chose not to support FreeBSD at all, so you have to build, install and maintain them yourself, which is very frustrating.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. FreeBSD has been included as an officially supported platform in version 1.3 of the Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime specification, released November 4, 2025. This milestone marks a...

I didn't. For me it was in unusable state. For while I used Ubuntu server but wanted to have FreeBSD there. I had to do some cabling around few floors but managed to push cat6a cable up there. So I switched back to FreeBSD but use wire again...

I don't think it is necessary good to have #1 software as BSD/MIT or any totally permissive license. Because the vendor behind it can embrace/extend/extinguish the complete project. Sort of what's happening to GNU/Linux under 'patronage' of Red...

unfortunatelly apple stuff here is way too expensive. I heard about this option, but was never affordable by me :( But I will keep it in mind. My hope was rk3588 performance gain over RPI5. I had a RPI4 that died, took 3-4 days to build it all...

Yes, it is used by loader.efi Additional Environment Variables loader.efi loads some extra variables early in startup from /efi/freebsd/loader.env from the EFI partition. Only simple variables can be set here. It can be...

Yes. Well, maybe not in so many discrete, but fully sufficient amount of steps, and dependig on the sizes the font you picked as default supports you may get another font at other sizes, but when you do CTRL+RM xterm's menu opens, and you can...

Maybe you can boot from USB and hence would be able to look at things after a resume that way?

I know people, and more than a few, who would remove comments from codebases based on "they could become outdated" to "I look cool when my diffs remove more lines than they add". Absolutely disgusting, but some companies' reward system creates...

There is this nifty x11/xtermcontrol port that lets you send control sequences to manipulate xterm programmatically. I wrote a perl script to use it for changing the font size or face. You can map it to CTRL+KeypadPlus in vi or maybe even to a...

I assure you there are companies with lawyers that rule out use of GPLed code when other companies do not. Legal intepretations just come out differently every now and then.

I still don't understand how I can get the power level from a unresponsive NVME drive, isn't that clear that the whole system is crashed and that the root zpool is missing after the second resume?

You can just rebuild the kernel. Fetch the raw diff. # cd /usr/src && patch < rawdiff It's up to you if you want to test this way or wait for the next "pre-release".

It is perfectly allright to directly email the committers and release engineers involved with followup questions such as "I want to provide the info you requested, but can you tell me how I gather it?". Even if all else fails it signals that you...

No, as Charlie_ already pointed out: you should give Warner Losh, who is trying to help you, the information he requested: If you don't know how to get the information you could as well just ask, but you just went on about what versions you...

Thanks. I tested the Orange Pi 5 Plus, the sdcard doesn't work. I got opnsense to work but needs to boot edk2 and run from USB media. When running 15-BETA3 I got to see less issues on dmesg. My plan was to replace the RPi 5 to build opnsense...

Linux (the kernel) is GPL2 only. Even after a fork it will remain GPL2. The userspace part can be rewritten in a more permissive license so that it can eventually be made closed source (and it will be eventually forked again, making the point...

I posted the bug when running B1 and tested up to B3 and STABLE. I may upgrade again as soon as I'm back home and report back. Or do you mean I should test an earlier kernel on my production machine without more details?

I don't understand what is said by Warner Losh, but maybe this is related - D53140 as he mentions something about BAR and the revision was created the day you posted the bug. Can you check?

I clearly explained that the first resume is always fine and the second always fails. To me this means that NVMEs power states and BARs are saved and rested correctly at least once. Moreover, I clearly explained that this is a regression when...

I'm the reporter. Maybe it was just some language barrier, I'm not an English native speaker, but I didn't realize that his answer was for me. No instructions, no commands to execute, no info whatsoever, I don't really know what to do to help...

Hi, Have anyone tested FreeBSD on Nanopi R76S? I looked for on Google but no mention so far. I am planning tu purchase a new system, and this comes to mind, as does the Orange Pi 5 Plus. thanks,

Wrong, only -CURRENT and EoL versions are not supported here. That said, I've never closed or removed any questions regarding -CURRENT or EoL versions. Just pointed them to Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions.

W.hâ/t yes, it's the "blockers" part I'm most curious about.

DescriptionMark Johnston 2025-09-19 15:37:42 UTC A metabug to allow marking of individual bugs as blockers for the release. I dont know either. I would say this is the standard process, with more or less trouble than the previous release.

290265 And yes, I know that anything but RELEASE is not supported here, I'm not complaining about it. I was just looking for clarifications.

Please provide a link to the bug report. As I'm sure you know, RELEASE is RELEASE and anything else is not supported here or anywhere else cause it's still under development.

I'm guessing, with almost no chrome experience (see my post above about opinions), that it is some AI thing. Isn't google, and by extension, chrome, infamous for sticking so-called AI everywhere? Out of curiosity, do you also have Firefox, or an...

Maybe not transferring the disk(s) to another system, but someone might reset the BIOS/UEFI to defaults or accidentally enable CSM, then the system won't boot at all.

That dataset is just a placeholder, it has no data. It's not even mounted. % zfs list -o name,canmount,mounted,mountpoint zroot/var NAME CANMOUNT MOUNTED MOUNTPOINT zroot/var off no /var /var/ and /var/cache are part of...

Seems to work fine from here.

This is absurd, I ain't running Linux without the FSF part.

https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/11/01/079206/ubuntu-will-use-rust-for-dozens-of-core-linux-utilities Interesting thread on this subject. Some of the comments say that one of the motivations for ubuntu doing the rewrite in rust is to replace...

I also don't like the tone of that email. How is a random architecture's maintainer supposed to come up with a Rust toolchain in 6 months? This is not the right way to decide the set of architectures. If this was about a new subsystem that is...

There seem to be FUDs (i.e., by US gov.) that all projects SHALL switch to memory-safe languages. If so, hardwares should become memory-safety-aware first. Without it, low level codes that memory-safe languages cannot describe are still...

Thanks. Now I see that ... I'll try to find a good solution :)

It's in the official Ports Collection now, but the thread mentions some patches that probably are NOT in the Ports Collection or even in the Area 51 repo... those patches help with session management, but not Display Management / greeter issues.

Where I work, the organisation (and our clients) dislike GPL due to Defcon 703. Whereas the individual developers dislike GNU due to the mess and noise. (We generally favour the Apache license due to it protecting against potential patent...

A Actually I am using Chromium on FreeBSD and I often get options about whether to translate Polish to English. I must have tried to configure something about a year ago but I don't recall what. System messages come up in Polish and I haven't...

When using lxterminal, I can increase or decrease the text size (zoom in/out) using Ctr-+/-. Can I do this in Xterm?

As 15.0 release date is approaching I'm curious to know about the this bug. It depends on many others, a few of them regressions from previous releases. I'm pretty scared because I'm one of the reporters of a (pretty nasty IMHO) regression from...

You need to compile multimedia/libdvdcss from ports because its not allowed to be redistributed as the CSS code may violate the DMCA.

Same. I've yet to try 6.5 to check for improvements, will do probably later today.

I actually have the whole 'suspend' feature turned off. I do allow the screen to be turned off under Xorg. Then KDE works fine - under Xorg. Under Wayland, there's still power management issues that are dogging me, but I think the issue is with...
