Yes but not like that with the whole fruit. It was delicious.

Isn't this how you make your-own-bubble-pedia? By cloning Wikipedia and editing out articles that are part of your narrative.

I see. I disagree with you, but these forums aren't the place for such discussions. And I'll stop there.

You trust Musk? You think this will be a good thing? Well, good luck.

It's a ripoff of wikipedia. Word for word exactly the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebsd

Not exactly the same thing but I have eaten plum vlaai. Very much like the fruit, could and probably should eat more of it.

Quite often when I lived in Germany. Enjoy!

OCI is the standard based on the work made by Docker and donated to the Open Container Initiative. There's no practical difference now. My job is to literally test both so I use both.

XDM. My .xsession file contains this prompt to allow me to start a number of other windowing environments when I'm away from home/office in order to show people that FreeBSD has many faces. It doesn't have to look like CDE. XDMWM=`/usr/bin/cut...

So some Alt-Right scumbag makes a Wikipedia knockoff. It is probably just him, yet again, trying tax evasion or something else like that, or he just feels like Twitter alone isn't adequate for him to Nazi-out on and he needs another space to...

Actually this is what I do normally, but I'm trying to insert a timer so that startx will start will start up automatically after a given time unless some key is pressed but haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Interesting. I prefer booting to just a CLI interface, logging in and then running startx. Has saved me some pain from misconfigured things. And bygone does not equate to useless.

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...

I'm also from a bygone era ;)

Unless he disagrees with it, then he's not so pro free speech any more.

startx and xinit are from a bygone era. I haven't used startx since my SunOS 4 days.

Erichans Yes. This is the point I was trying to make.

Setting this to solved. I'm running into some other errors trying to compile, but seemingly unrelated to the issue for this post. I need to do some more research on those.

There are a number of different message "classes" you are probably asking about. As some have noted, /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are the places to look for system level and Xorg server messages. Your LXDE messages may be written...

My favorite terminal font happens to be truetype. For me it works pretty well.

But I don't want that - I want to run FreeBSD on the bare metal... :(

Thank you so much! I have been wondering for years.

Hi, I'm studying programming and there's something I'm wondering about. Many tutorials and books demonstrate a loop like this: while (!condition) { ... } For example in a game it is for checking if a quit flag is set, by the user entering...

Are messages output after X has terminated saved in a log file somewhere? I see a number of errors shown after I have logged out of X (LXDE in my case) and I'd like to be able to examine them but I don't know if they are written anywhere.

Speaking of that, how do I configure which fonts and sizes show up in that menu?

I don't bother with playing them directly and use multimedia/makemkv.

That's when people suddenly find a ticket assigned to them "well done, now go to the VCS and dig it out again..." I switched to have debug and checking code enclosed in an if(debug) {} or if(validate){} with these being "static const bool" in...

Yup. I've met more firewall admins who only understand IP addresses and port numbers, and don't understand the TCP/IP protocols. For example, I was working on implementing Veritas Bare Metal Restore, part of Veritas NetBackup. It required DCHP...

Is the wlan0 interface actually up and associated? I mean is there any other network traffic going through it? A ifconfig output from the FreeBSD host would be useful, as does a netstat -rn output. Does the FreeBSD host happen to have both a...

That crossed my mind ... Looks like Santa will have work to afford that little beast ... :D Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, does FreeBSD support it? :)

STABLE is supported as well: Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions Now and then support on CURRENT is also tolerated.

Yeah, better try to get it in before the release is finalized. Once the release is out the door, release engineering won't be responsible for it any more. It'll be handed over to the security team. And they are typically not too keen on releasing...

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

Yeah, as I mentioned earlier it was just a language barrier problem. I'll see what I can do.

Not always, when it fails you have to open an incognito session. It looks like random stuff.

Erm, 15.0-BETA4 is built from the releng/15.0 branch, the -STABLE moniker only exists on the stable/* branches, never anywhere else. releng/15.0 newvers.sh: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/conf/newvers.sh?h=releng/15.0#n52 stable/15...
