Yep. The GPL only requires providing the source if you're distributing software built with it under the GPL. If you don't distribute it, then you're not required to provide the source. It's how you used to be able to compile custom FreeBSD...

build, src.conf, make.conf and release.

And, I'm not sure that it ever will be at the rate it's going. I can't get it to stop moving all my windows from one monitor to the other because they don't think that it's their responsibility to have a way of dealing with that. I was somewhat...

I had a ton of hand tools, but they got "misplaced" by my son when I put them into storage. Also, I have bad knee and a bad shoulder from repetative stress, so manual labor is out of the picture at my age. Oh, I like poking this stuff just...

According my (limited) experience, I prefer an integrated solution like ZFS respect a composition of different storage layers components, like in Stratis. On paper, the Stratis approach seem more elegant and composable, but in practice it is...

That was why I was looking at the patch. See what was changed and see if it (hand) applies to newer DRM drivers. I guess its time to put this problem in writing with a PR. See what evadot says

I was watching a random RHEL video and it had a tutorial on Stratis; the tutorial created a pool direct to a device (no partition table), and auto-formats the new partition with XFS. I haven't heard of Stratis before and it looks similar to ZFS...

I still have to achieve this with a Raspberry 3 running as commercial display. It uses nfs-data from it's FreeBSD boss. I want to lose the sd-card because it's added risk of failure and theoretically 2 times computer maintainnce.. Did it already...

According to ChatGPT: DHCP message sequence (DORA)

cracauer@ The xferlog will show the tftp part of the request.

Do not mess the ports tree. Install both java/eclipse and editors/jedit, if I understood you have both openJDK11 and openJDK21 and jedit is not able to print. If this is true then you can create a shell file to start jedit with this content #...

Is there any way to accomodate pxeboot as a menu option for pxelinux ?

ipxe has been one of the things on my todo list of things to investigate for about ten years. I recently came across mention of it with Arch Linux:- https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ipxe/

I was wrong... Is this a supervisor program that took control on a level beneath the OS installation like sort of a bootloader? I would give up and just zero the disk including any bootloader-like things in this situation. It should load a kernel.

dnsmasq seems to use /var/log/daemon.log Is there any way to couple up a DHCPREQUEST with a DHCPOFFER? Having said that I'm never sure about the sequence of DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER, DHCPREQUEST, DHCPPACK.

It's USB connect.

Not sure, but I don't think a PC should go to something Bitlocker-related, It's a Windows password manager, right? (I may be biased) If the UEFI/BIOS is set to boot from DVD and it works, how do you get at a Bitlocker prompt window? Some other...

Hi 🙂 Thanks! After a long internet outage, I finally can access the forum. I’ll check it at the first opportunity. For now, though, no configurations are working even the non-free ones and internet access in Iran is still very limited. can I use...

Hi there )) Thanks for a very interesting discussion... Since this is so far the only place talking about v2ray , I'll put it here. From recent experience I'd recommend using xray fork instead of v2ray . True, no official port exists, but it...

One of my wife's Acer laptops will only boot the Windows 10 installed on the machine. There is no option to enter the BIOS or boot from an external drive. It's totally locked down. The SSD is soldered to the MB too. I have two other Acer...

Yup, heard back from the developer who said it should be fixed by https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/mail/msmtp?id=274554a136104549ade5332ae8255fe119be4551 and that it may tke a bit of time for the updated package to show up---working version...

There's no way they design something that convoluted without it being intentional :p I had a CORSAIR keyboard for years but disliked iCUE software just for a rainbow RGB light pattern (started 200MB V2, 400MB and GPU-eating V3, and V4+ may as...

If it was, GNOME didn't get the memo until at least mid 2025 🤣 (high CPU/GPU load would make the cursor go floaty/disconnected; article, and even then it doesn't sound like it solves the issue of somehow making the cursor dependent on...

The system provides some images you can use. You can create your own. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/why-does-freebsd-only-support-bmp-and-pcx-splash-screen-images.68547/#post-408520 Check this thread too:

It was stable enough for me years ago with GNOME, but had inconsistencies that had me prefer X11. I heard Fedora dropped X11 support early because of maintenance burden. If that's the same theme removing it from KDE, it seems questionable for...

Something to keep in mind, only load drivers in /boot/loader.conf you absolutely need to boot the system. Everything 'non-essential' can be loaded with kld_list in rc.conf. If you happen to load a broken driver through kld_list you can still...

Something got messed up with the rollback and I fear you now have a mix of 14.3 and 15.0 executables and libraries (which certainly would explain the weird errors and "bad system call" issues). pciconf doesn't depend on any driver. It queries...

It's really impressive how small they keep it. What are we at? 500MB or so for a clean system. .. What could be added maybe is detecting all the available graphics resolutions and enable direct 2d pixel drawing, so you can show a highres pictire...

Thanks, but no thanks.

vermaden many thanks for this. Just tried it and it's quite neat. It appears to boot faster, but that's probably my imagination. Is there any way to provide your own image when booting?

I honestly don't watch the youtube links. I only read the articles that are posted. But it's nice to have a mix of video audio if that is something that the viewer finds to be of interest.

What was the last thing you did before everything broke?

Then I'm lost. Your system is seriously borked. If it was my system I'd wipe the whole lot and do a fresh, clean, install.
