I use Japanese, not Chinese, but I find that fcitx5 works quite well for me. I have a page on inputting Japanese that might help a little bit. https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html#FreeBSD

Nice, I am a little out-of-date with FreeBSD's stack and didn't realize this was in place yet (or rather still used the Xorg.wrapper approach). If this is Xlibre specific (i.e not in Xorg), then this is actually a good reason to switch.

Speaking in OpenBSD terms, it helps the X server fully drop its root privileges and stick to the principle of least privilege, like Xenocara. Speaking in Linux terms, it basically does the task that systemd-logind and elogind do in relation to...

These messages are written into /dev/console and are not logged by default. syslogd is in charge of these logs and what you want to do can be achieved with configuring it via syslog.conf (/etc/syslog.conf): # Log all writes to /dev/console to a...

I have in the past tried to revive drives with Current_Pending_Sector count (197) errors by taking them out of service and re-writing every sector on the drive. The theory is that a sector that had gone bad while allocated to an existing file...

And it must run on your OS.

smtp/imap AFAIK are provided by locally running gateway app.

Thank you for explaining! I have a pretty old plastic router Zyxel Keenetic Viva, which I can access only from web interface or telnet (and the configuration is pretty limited). In web interface I have NAT configuration, but it allows to...

I agree about the user nobody default configuration, I rolled back the homedir to /nonexistent already. With that said, as I wrote before my experience WRT the logs is different from yours as unless I specify the -logfile switch XLibre always...

I updated XDM script that sets wallpaper to make screenshot :) I added this to /usr/local/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 nohup bash -c 'sleep 5; import -silent -quality 100 -window root /home/graudeejs/Pictures/xdm-screenshots.png' &

when you bypass the vpn with ipfw forward the initial tcp packet will be created as usual with the source address of the interface having the default route so 10.something. so it will leave your system via the em0 ethernet but with a source of...

Unfortunately I remember that too (which of course mean that we both are older than 50...)

Hi checkpoint, Re 1 video built in the processor; re 2 tried that already, no difference; re 3 tried that, no difference. Although there is allegedly support for devd, # grep devd /var/log/Xorg.0.log does not return anything. I tried to xinit...

I recently (fresh installed) FreeBSD 15.0 to an INTEL NUC and.... It went completely smoothly :-) ! I was really impressed how well it went and how quickly I was able to be productive. NICE WORK FREEBSD TEAM AND CONTRIBUTORS !

As a new user i use sway (wayland) and i am pleased with how it works.

Greetings all, Update: On newly installed FreeBSD 14.3, I do not seem to be able to make xorg working. I have installed packages graphics/drm-61-kmod, graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod, the user is in video group, yet after invoking xinit, I am...

In fairness. the documentation isn't always right. For example, the current handbook explanation of using pkgbase to upgrade won't work. It leaves out a few essential points. They may be covered in other places--for example, the handbook has the...

Solution: [23:51][fmc000@dabrafenib ]$ tail -1 /usr/local/dt/config/Xservers ~ :0 Local...

Thanks! I'm not sure if that would be possible with my router, but I will try tomorrow. I thought that the packet flow with VPN on was like that: 192.168.1.90 (me) -> 192.168.1.1 (router) -> 10.x.y.z (VPN server; a gateway) -> destination. And...

Sorry, I don't use KDE anymore.

you need to tell the router to pass/nat 10.x.y.z too not only 192.168.1.0/24. i don't know if that's possible with the "plastic/appliance" routers but it's certainly possible with a freebsd / openwrt / cisco/ any where you have more control than...

Yes, that works! # nc -s 192.168.1.90 smtp.gmail.com 25 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP 4fb4d7f45d1cf-64b912534f2sm23992231a12.15 - gsmtp Do I understand correctly that now (since my router sent a packet that has a source of 10.x.y.z) it will in reply...

Yes, this is exactly what I want. But I don't know how to revert port tree (or just a few needed ports) now - I use 'portsnap fetch update' to update it, and unlike it was in former SVN-based mechanism, I couldn't find the way to rollback it to a...

Still doesn't work. I set the home directory for the user nobody to /home/nobody, created the structure /home/nobody/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.log/ (I tried also /home/nobody/.local/share/xorg/ )with the proper permissions and the server still...

Well that's because nobody's ~/ is /nonexistent hence no ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.log. Try running X as your own user / another user that has a writable home. (You can create a user named _x11 ) From dtlogin.

try with the vpn on nc -s 192.168.1.90 smtp.whatever.com 25 (replace 192.168.1.90 with the actual one if not correct) see if that work such a test wont confuse the gw/nat box

make sure that the box at 192.168.1.1 will nat / accept traffic from 10.x.y.z / your wg ip. then it will work

Yes. You can see an early preview in GhostBSD that was based around XFCE window manager, XFCE panel, and GNUstep. The native GNUstep replacements for Window Manager, and global menu server are shaping up. There is a gershwin-build repo in the...

This is a great question, and reminds me I should refocus my introduction around that here: https://github.com/gershwin-desktop/gershwin-desktop I'll try not to hijack this thread much more and do a proper introduction later. Why make a...

To add. Much complexity of C++ can be safely ignored and code written using it can be very simple. ... just the culture is a little warped and people choose not to keep things simple with C++ ;)

Home, fiber. I had 1 Gbit/s with TV, when I cancelled the TV package they said that requires an upgrade to 2 Gbit at that new low price :)

Exactly. Why people insist compiling things when ports are already available is beyond me.

I'm afraid you're mixing things. powerdxx is FreeBSD power management and it has nothing to do with powerdevil, which is a KDE thing that you cannot control via rc.conf .

Still have two, great book stands and they still work. Even Word! In 128KB! I'll keep an eye open for this project, OpenStep still has a place in my heart.

I have 2 Gbit/s but I never changed to the new equipment so it is 1 G. Never touch a running system.

Bugs happen, and system upgrading programs are bug-prone since the specifics of what they do an any given variety of machine are so different. The original programmer does not have the same experience as all users.

Rust has a few bits that are unintuitive when you encounter them first, e.g. about error handling. But then C has no error handling at all and everybody rolls their own style of error handling. What's easier? I would say that if you know the...

I have a FreeBSD14 machine FreeBSD dog 14.3-STABLE FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE stable/14-n272990-e1c985ccc335 GENERIC amd64with NVIDIA graphics card. Recently I ran 'pkg update && pkg upgrade' and had nvidia-related ports upgraded to the latest version...

Existing where? Theoretically you could take a drive with windows installed and put it in your system and use that instead of a virtual drive. Then you would be dealing with normal windows transfer issues. I might experiment with that some day.

/lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found Hmm, this means that the libc (glibc) provided by your Linux environment is not compatible. Does the app image you extracted provide its own? Perhaps you can use that instead.

The truth will come out when he is called for an exchange of opinions with a PHB. You know, when they expect you to come in with your opinion but to leave with the one of the boss? That will be the moment to put the money where the mouth is, and...

It could be that both the xcb and vnc plugin are failing in the same way. Likely it is a dynamic library dependency. I suggest using ldd (or objdump -x <lib> | grep NEEDED) to list the dependencies for both of those plugins and see whats missing...

Is it possible to use virtual_oss to create a device, that mixing output and input and available for recording? I can easily route my mic to new device with virtual_oss -S -C 2 -c 2 -r 48000 -b 16 -s 1024 -f /dev/dsp3 -c 2 -b 16 -d vdsp.virtual...

Alright, I found what I did wrong and managed some things to work. I changed the rule to the following: fwd 192.168.1.1 log tcp from me to any 25 via wg0 Now when VPN in on and I do # telnet smtp.gmail.com 25 I got a log in /var/log/security...

... and often the cache memory of the CPU, leading to abysmal performance and lots of questions like "how does that code full of function calls be faster than my linear heap of template code the compiler can optimize perfectly?"
