Doing anything with ports: First take sure that it is up to date. As long that's not the case there's nothing to do inside the ports tree. Won't work. To uninstall via make the port name isn't needed - it uses the port of the actual directory...

Yes, I'm writing my own tool. What I'd like to do is to use everything the ports infrastructure already provides and nothing more (at least this is my intention).What is confusing me is the directory used by the packages and all the possible...

Librewolf has been my choice for the last six months or so, works great IMHO

Btw, I decided to search for the conflicts individually instead, and for the first one (mozjpeg conflicts with jpeg-turbo), I already found some threads: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251185 Issue is that it is 5 years old...

You should have kinda configuration to store resulting pkg into /usr/ports/packages/All/, at least building pkg on single port directory. By default, pkg is created under ${WRKDIR}/pkg/, for example with x11/nvidia-kmod...

Hey, thank you so much for that huge effort! Yeah, there is things like 86Box, because I find life without coding on C89 in BorlandC very boring 🥲 I did a pkg delete -a again, and pulled from your list, added the WindowManager dockapps I was...

iocage set allow_raw_sockets=1 myjail fixed it!

sh shell history contains \040 and \012 characters. Is there any way to dealt with so that sysutils/hstr can use this history?

There's always a bit (8%) that's reserved. Only root can write beyond that. So you can end up over 100% capacity. This is to prevent users from filling up the filesystem entirely. Doesn't stop root from completely filling it up though ;)...

After reading through https://freebsd.github.io/iocage/ I have managed to start my jail but can't get networking configured. The Networking section https://freebsd.github.io/iocage/networking.html makes it sound very straightforward but I can't...

FreeBSD is wonderful, but there are some blobs in the source. I have searched discussions about deblobbing FreeBSD, but the forums I've searched is very old. I tried to deblob FreeBSD's kernel myself, but it is challenging because of two reasons...

That is not the amplifier, but the whole system, mainly speakers and amplifier together. As said, my final decision for the Canadian speakers against the British ones was just because of the sound of the cord of a cembalo.

Kernel booting messages about the I2C touchpad: iichid0: <FTCS0038:01 2808:0106 I2C HID device> at addr 0x38 on iicbus15 iichid0: Using sampling mode hms0: <FTCS0038:01 2808:0106 Mouse> on hidbus0 hms0: 2 buttons and [XYW] coordinates ID=1...

Another innocent victim of the LLM sh.t unfortunately.

I believe that FORTRAN's "assigned GOTO" would also qualify: ASSIGN 1000 to LEG ... ASSIGN 2000 to LEG ... GO TO LEG I used computed GOTOs frequently, as they were a succinct multi-way switch mechanism, but never assigned GOTOs. They were too...

Looks to me like you can still find plenty of #ifdef harmfulness this century: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2021-March/006494.html

I'm not panicking yet. There'll be plenty of time for that later.

I'm not saying it's not important. It just reads like everyone's scrambling around for an immediate solution as in blackbird9 first video.

Also do a memtest on the machine soon.

Thinkpad X220. https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X220 16GB RAM. 1 TB sata SSD + 1 TB mSATA SSD (2 TB total storage, which is nuts, really.). Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz...

I *think* the only solution would be to change the card--of course it's Lenovo so they blacklist some cards--I've forgotten the details and it may no longer even be true, but at least at one point if you put a different card in a Lenovo it might...

There is a thing I do not understand (well, tons of things but this is one). If I run the command make package in the ports tree, the result is a package of the port in the default packages directory /usr/ports/packages/All. If I set the...

7) Use pkg-repo to generate the catalogue files required to make it a proper "repository". This will create the meta files and the catalogue database. pkg repo is used to create a catalogue of the available packages in a repository...

Browser choices are few. One of the main ones being ruined is a big deal.

Why does it seem like everyone is in a panic?

I've been using "Nightly" / waterfox on freebsd for the last few days, it seems to be working pretty well. No crashes or hangs, all sites I've looked at display as normal. It looks pretty good as a FF alternative, and no AI. Ublock origin and...

I have limited monthly download limit and wonder if would be able resume at the point where my download limit was exhausted if I tried the following month.

Threads like this are gold. Simple question, way too many answers. old saying about "different ways to skin a cat". Keep them in your pocket because someday, you will look like Einstein when you offer them.

These switches appear with the beginning of controversial changes and then disappear over time.

Not a fan of Palemoon: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16318820 Palemoon is a Firefox fork, no? Try a different fork like Waterfox. Or ungoogled-chromium. I don't run the latter cause I build my own packages and its build time is frankly...

Was this cleanup the result of trying to integrate with Xlibre?

OK, some more technical stuff. I have found a better, more elegant solution to the KDE problem. The entire reason that the KDE x11/plasma6-plasma-desktop port can't be installed alongside xlibre-server is due to its RUNTIME dependency on X.Org...

"Crash" means what? Any messages on the terminal? Or in `dmesg`?

I might speak for most of the readers when I say: flavors or default options, both is fine with me, as long as reasonable ports/packages are available. :)

Interesting. Has been working for me without this step.

Maybe the hardware is dying? It is elderly, after all.

Four weeks later, kent_dorfman766 reporting the build stopped on an error and he needs to restart. :rolleyes:

Well, I have a VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] on my old PC. It has 15.0-RELEASE-p1 and it works, I just tested it. I needed some tricks with route because the machine isn't configured to use it, but it works, I post this message thru this card...

Many thanks for pointing out '-n'. That was exactly what I needed.
