Sadly not actionable. You could create an open-source PC and people will complain it is more expensive than a bargain bin mass produced Dell. You could create your own entirely open-source, entirely open firmware platform and people will moan...

This is mostly about a gpu hang and reset issue. Nothing pointing to a memory issue.

Hard coded in vt https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/dev/vt/vt_core.c#n955 x11/alacritty is pretty darn fast.

Hmm, that looks more like firefox crashes on its own. I don't see oom kills.

I had the exact same situation as you when I switched from Windows to Linux distros. I had been doing some software development even on Windows, so I was using Git for Windows and thus got a clue about some very basic UNIX programs like cd, ls...

I'm getting a 503 at the moment. So if you get that too, it's not only you.

You said you wanted to get the OS onto ada0p5. This mfsbsd contains what you need to get the OS installed onto ada0p5. All you need to do is extract the two files I mentioned.

My new main machine. It's built on top of a Dell 3010 SFF. It has an RX 6400 GPU, AX210 Wifi, Sata SSD, 12V LifePO4 voltage monitor, 10AH Lifepo4 12V batt and charger, 300Watt power inverter, Cherry MX Red keyboard, ROG Strix impact 2 mouse...

The short of it: There are many kernel subsystems that predate jails and were written with a "root is root" assumption. Later "jail root is not universally root" came in but wasn't completely backpatched to all those subsystems. Some sysctls...

Go to freshports, net-mgmt/net-snmp, then click on that "radio-active" button next to the port's name. https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=net-mgmt%2Fnet-snmp%24

ttys are defined in /etc/ttys I don't see how you could modify key-combo for switching

Hi Folks, as the title says: FreeBSD 15.0-Release, just installed. me@home:~ $ pkg list| wc -l 1634 Yikes! How to get rid of this pkgbase pkgs spamming the output? Thx in advance -cheasy

This doesn't scale. Your specific problem probably is that the kernel itself is too tight. On the 32 GB machine that wouldn't happen. The Linux situation is more complex. i inn general Linux it's a even more trigger happy with OOM killing. But...

If you can get mfsbsd onto a USB stick you simply need to extract kernel.txz and base.txz onto ada0p5, once it is mounted of course.

Why? It is purrfectly safe if you fix warnings during coding.

Video will be posted shortly on media.ccc.de. The bugs mentioned in public are already fixed.

Do you have to run KDE on a machine with 2 GB RAM?

How I finally got rid of dbus and related stuff under CDE Besides the obvious dbus_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf, there are apps that "think" they rely on it and invoke it every time. In my case it was librewolf: at every login I found three...

No, I didn't have a good reason to include it other than I was running an AMD GPU. I removed it, and everything is working again. I figured I was doing something wrong but had no idea what it was. Oddly enough, before I removed the...

It's not in my habit to give my opinion on such a topic, but let's go. In the vast majority of use, compiling base OS or ports, for a single or few user is a waste of energetic resources and time. There some exceptions, of course, when you need...

I would get 'origin' instead. root@bsd15:~ # pkg query '%o %R' | awk '$2=="FreeBSD-ports" {print $1}' sysutils/beadm sysutils/lsblk The xargs(1) command on FreeBSD does not support -a option: root@bsd15:~ # man xargs | grep -- '-a' -n...

I guess that another simple way to do this would be to first buildkernel, then install KERNEL INSTKERNNAME=kernel.tmp (it will install kernel with modules into /boot/kernel.tmp instead of /boot/kernel), and then package it yourself with: tar cJvf...

I've not experienced in this (just going to try it) but found these in build: distributekernel Install the kernel to the directory ${DISTDIR}/kernel/boot/kernel. This target is used while...

Just FYI the X server logs are stored in /var/log/ so even if a session crashes they are still available. I understand that testing again could be difficult 👍. Another tip for configuring any X server is to set up a method for killing the X...

Ditto.

In all honesty, the old Mac systems were "interesting" in the calling conventions and memory management was also rather unusual. But it worked, from time to time I still fire up the basilisk with an old image. The GUI was a lot better than...

A long time ago there was talk about using make instead of sh for rc. It is naturally good with dependency ordering and it has parallelism already built in.

New Ventoy release. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html AFAIAC Ventoy is an excellent tool for starting a FreeBSD install, just in case someone wonders why I am mentioning it in the FreeBSD forums.

OK, on X11 I had fewer problems than Wayland but still I believe you made some big progress.

FreeBSD has around 40,000 pkgs. How many do various Linux distros have?

It doesn't. C has readability of assembler. If it is written well, it's very succinct. If it isn't, it can be hard to follow. Rust has readability of OO-style C++, it is mostly scaffolding. This allows programmers to navigate to parts of true...

Please keep on topic for this thread - which is Rust - in case any participants has forgotten.

OS X's userland is largely BSD utils with apple patches.

Apple's VM solution (xhyve / HyperKit) is based on FreeBSD's Bhyve. Haiku's wifi stack is basically a FreeBSD compatibility layer to use FreeBSD wifi drivers. (I believe, many of the popular drivers (i.e iwx, iwm) originated from other BSDs...

For the userland, libarchive (tar) is a project started from FreeBSD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libarchive

BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) was first to implement TCP/IP stack. FreeBSD is its descendant.

Well I read the errata afterwards. It says, among other things: IV. Workaround No workaround is available, but this misbehaviour only applies to using freebsd-update(8) to upgrade to FreeBSD 15.0; applying security and errata updates...
