Yes I've had this happen recently and found a solution in 101301, but that hasn't worked this time.

That's likely a routing loop. Each packet has a TTL (typically 64 on Linux/BSD), every routing "hop" subtracts one from the TTL. When the TTL is 0 a "Time to live exceeded" ICMP message is returned.

Dear serjsk8, Thank you for your advice. Yes, i found a solution around NAT. I'll describe it right now, in my answer to covacat. Best regards, Cédric.

By some process which I'm stiill trying to figure out the IP address (192.168.1.1) of my server was assigned to another host which has caused me all sorts of problems including denial of Internet access from my network. Fortunately I got around...

I thought sysrc only updated /etc/rc.conf. Thanks for pointing that out. I should have checked sysrc. My bad!

What's wrong with sysrc -f /boot/loader.conf ?

DHCP has a lease time. At 50% of that timer a client will try to renew the lease. If you're seeing a renewal every 30 minutes the lease time was probably set to 60 minutes.

Hello. When I run windows-app via wine, I get error "wineserver: file_set_error() can't map error: Cannot allocate memory". What settings can I change?

Sorry to reuse this (relatively) old thread, but the name probably will permit the future users to find the information more simply. With recent efforts of FreeBSD Foundation we expect more desktop/laptop users will come to FreeBSD world. So, the...

Cupsd has it as lib dependency, so that's probably not going to work. What do you want to run that needs libavahi-client.so? I read something about a hardware polling system but I think it's still too high-level to own all channels. An audit...

Just asking... Is there a sysrc type program for /boot/loader.conf?

What's weird? I've not used Firefox in a while so just now logged in using it and don't notice anything wrong. I always use Chromium, though.

Indeed it is why I have formed the opinion I have about the Xorg maintainers, they have went out of their way to do nothing to enable them to kill it off. This latest effort by them to save face doing new releases now that someone has shown it is...

tembun Muscle memory? My *BSD systems I've always typed shutdown followed by appropriate -r -p as the situation needed. But Linux systems? I've always typed reboot or poweroff. poweroff equivalent to shutdown -p now may not mean "the same as"...

I still have my A4000. Don't need no video.

I have FreeBSD 15.0 installed on a 30GB SSD on ZFS. When the system boots I get this message:- Everything seems to be working properly so why do I get this message?

You are right. I wrongly thought that the base_latest was pointing to the latest updates of the 15.0-RELEASE (${ABI}) - just like the FreeBSD pkg repository (latest vs quarterly). Thanks for the correction - I updated my post.

A big difference is that on a system that's been hardened with encryption, rebooting won't do anything for you in terms of accessing things that can't be changed other than in single user mode, whereas shutdown can by virtue of getting you to...

Is it possible to update? any pitfalls surfaced after the update?

Normies also deserve to use FreeBSD because it'll make their lives a little bit better.

I just tested ping and the timeout for a failed ping was 11 seconds: [gunsynd.1036] $ time ping -qnc 1 8.8.8.254; echo $? PING 8.8.8.254 (8.8.8.254): 56 data bytes --- 8.8.8.254 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0...

For old enough guys like me, vi is the "visual mode" of ex. 😅 Precisely, both are exactly same binary that are hard-linked.

Have you used on the Linux clients the mount.nfs4(8) command, or specified the mount(8) "nfs4" "vfstype" option? $ sudo mount.nfs4 192.168.1.60:/media /mnt $ sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.60:/media /mnt $ nfsstat -m /mnt from...

They say not cutting freebsd support, but it’s only a matter time before other components have hard dependencies. Using systemd is not required to make a modern login manager. It’s just a preference. Clearly SDDM is proof of that. Maybe...

Does IceWM do compositing? With Xfce's compositor, window dragging/scrolling is visibly laggy if I use Intel DDX, but everything's smooth with modesetting. I disable compositor for fast-speeds everywhere (Intel DDX has TearFree)

An UDP test would be illuminating.

I'm the author of the article being referenced. I just want to clarify that it's not just "one guy", there's dozens of contributors whose patches have not been released for four years. The political views of that one guy is just a red herring.

In Firefox I have to mouse-select a lot of text blocks to read it because they have white on white color without being selected. Also, the text input is almost unuseable. The tags get misplaced and page refresh or cancel input goes wrong.

I haven't compared (forum pass only saved in FF sync :p), but don't recall seeing anything odd (mostly ESR) Not sure if it's available FreeBSD, but Servo browser looks interesting: https://servo.org/download/ It seemingly loads the forums (few...

No-one is saying that so far as I can see. You may not be aware that the tone of your messages is very much "why on EARTH have these very obvious things that are important to ME not been implemented? Ridiculous!" Hence the replies along the...

I wonder how much longer the current Linuxulater is going to make sense now that we've got podman and OCI containers that do mostly the same things. Plus there are Linux options for jails these days. The process of setting up a container that's...

And the winner is... the window manager! x11-wm/icewm There is even a bug report https://github.com/ice-wm/icewm/issues/218 - but that bug report does not make anything clearer to me: what has a window manager's "variable refresh rate" (whatever...

I am a nosystemD linux developer and unix enthusiast... we shall resist... Today is a login manager tommorow will be more than that... They are not just dependencies they are keyparts so microsoft will take linux 100% in their hands and it is a...

vi(1) has never had a visual mode via the 'v' key. Using PkgBase or otherwise, you are likely misremembering. Most Linux distros ship with vim in the default install (or vim-tiny or vim-minimal or some other randomness). This *does* have the 'v'...

It shouldn't be, as far as I know. I ordered a B570, but it will take 20 days to arrive. Edit : don't know why I thought 30eur less for cheaper model is good. Canceled that, ordered B580. And it will arrive shortly.

Hm.

What's the best browser for this forum? Firefox is really weird at this.

In my terminology, my server is my pc and my phone is my ISP, so I'm not sure if you saying something different.

It's possible to ignore the entire shutdown or reboot procedures (for which I think different execute permissions are needed) and make them behave like reset and hard shutdown. You have to comment out some lines in...

Whilst familiarising myself with /var/log/daemon.log on my Internet Gateway (192.168.1.1) I noticed this:- Jan 28 17:09:17 M73 dhclient[5989]: DHCPREQUEST on ue0 to 192.168.198.253 port 67 Jan 28 17:39:16 M73 dhclient[5989]: DHCPREQUEST on ue0...

Using it in a 'distro' because it's enabled by default. No idea what it's for. The printing works with a foomatic driver. Until now, I managed to avoid the cups webinterface for everything except when installing a new printer. Then I have to get...

They have different ownership because reboot is a more low-level program so to speak, only root can run it, because it reboots/halts the machine, but does it not as nicely as shutdown does: Normally, the shutdown(8) utility is used when the...

What am I reading? I must say I don't like Pulseaudio for looking like an industrial grift to overcomplicate audio dependencies on consumer computers. Nobody needs a thing of it. Just amplify the data to sound according to its format...

Release 15 is something in between, pkgbase is supported, but not recommanded by the installer if I am not mistaken, it is "tech preview", so it says it all, if you want it then take it as it is(that's how I see it). Give the devs some time to...

Why do reboot and shutdown have different ownership and mode? And ftm, why is reboot world-executable? # ls -l $(which reboot shutdown) -r-xr-xr-x 5 root wheel 15168 Dec 9 13:23 /sbin/reboot* -r-sr-xr-- 2 root operator 16056 Dec 9 13:23...

logvoid , add the driver to the kernel https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/#x-configuration-intel

Because reboot and shutdown are different; they do not perform the same functions. Which you would have known if you had bothered to actually read the manual pages that you put into your post. Don't ask "stupid questions" just to post; read the...

I still have my A4000. Don't need no video.

Yes, I created the correct devd file (I hope) and restarted devd. I have also run this as 'root' to get by any permissions issue. (It happily tells me I'm running as root - but it still gives the error above.) I did that according to section...
