Do you mean by "login prompt" and "background" the XDM login greeter? How did you configure xdm to start? Over /etc/ttys or /etc/rc.conf xdm_enable="YES" ?

Just pulled the latest update. The issue I reported is resolved. This is testing on my VM at work. I will test on my home computer with multi-monitor this weekend.

As long as you don't put all eggs into one basket... Also, radioactive decay is not as random as you might want it to be.

In the "traditional" way you have a disk, a disk is typically split up in partitions, and each partition contains a filesystem. The "disk" isn't empty, but one or more of its partitions might be. The size of the partition is static, an 'empty'...

Nowadays people are only concerned about the money as in profits. The guys who made Unix were just trying to make a better OS for the company's sake. No outside investors. No thoughts of profit/loss when it was sold. No concern with how fast they...

Me neither. What bothers me is, when there is something new developed, people flapping around, hyping things. Annoying. In german we say: "Nothings is eaten as hot as it's cooked." But above all telling others, all we there is now is obsolete...

There is no little man in a back room somewhere watching your every move. There is a system somewhere that watches your every move to feed you ads you don't care about but that's been true since time immemorial. I don't give myself up to these...

I keep a couple of pounds of plutonium around just for that rainy day when I need it.

Well, the one I just did was on a fresh install, and I hadn't chosen to install sources, so I'm guessing it was. Sorry you had trouble, and thanks for sharing your issue. I'm going to add it on my page.

Changing the target directory in gitup.conf makes difference.😅 I wonder, scottro, was your /usr/src empty?

I think it's already a problem because the system starts with only a CLI. You have to manually install something to get a GUI. A good option is to use a USB SSD of 32GB or so and try out different GUI installations using pkg install. You still...

This is what the rc script does: iocage_start() { if checkyesno ${rcvar}; then echo "* [I|O|C] starting jails... " /usr/local/bin/iocage start --rc fi } start Start a jail identified by UUID or NAME. Use [ALL]...

Silly question perhaps, but what do you plan to run or manage on that server? Webservers (nginx, apache, etc.) for example don't have a GUI configuration tool, so why would you need a GUI or desktop?

My /etc/rc.conf contains iocage_enable="yes" Does this actually start jails at boot time? I presumed I needed it to be able to actually install/run jails. Have I misunderstood the point of this command?

As far as I know, bhyve doesn't have a built-in PXE/DHCP service. You can configure an external service. For example, this method generates cloud images for a CBSD library (there may be information here that will be useful even without a CBSD)...

In the "traditional" way you have a disk, a disk is typically split up in partitions, and each partition contains a filesystem. The "disk" isn't empty, but one or more of its partitions might be. The size of the partition is static, an 'empty'...

That's an off by one error.

C+ is the grade we got in some of our college classes,,,..,.

That's why the joke is that the successor to COBOL will be named COBOL POSTINCREMENT BY ONE.

There is indeed no DHCP server builtin bhyve, sysutils/vm-bhyve doesn't have anything either. CBSD might have something included though.

Perhaps I misunderstand the issue, but I could find no mention of an (built-in) "in-bhyve dhcp server" in either the documentation or the source code. When I was talking about a dhcp server in bhyve, I meant a 3rd party application installed in...

Do you actually need Bluetooth? If its builtin you can probably turn it off in the BIOS/UEFI.

Which version of FreeBSD are the server and clients running on? Which version(s) of NFS are the server and clients (as a mount option) using? NFSv3 or NFSv4? How is the exports file (or ZFS "sharenfs", see /etc/zfs/exports) configured? I do...

A Forum Without Avatars (a Zen Forum?) If you are like me and don't like avatars, add these two rules to your uBlock Origin's custom rules: ||forums.freebsd.org/data/avatars/*/$image ||gravatar.com/avatar/$image I you don't even want to see...

The top level dataset of the pool is empty.

Not on the pool itself, but it also creates a "top" level dataset, that does have the canmount, mountpoint etc properties. dice@maelcum:~ % zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT zroot...

When you create a ZFS pool the "top" dataset will get mounted on a directory with the same name as the pool. The /zroot directory is because a zroot pool was created.

Also note, you have a pass in quick ..., which short-circuits the rules. Thus nothing from your enemigos block rule will get hit.

ADD 1 TO COBOL GIVING COBOL. Another version of the same joke. A few months ago, I downloaded some Cobol compiler for fun, and spent an evening with a single glass of wine writing an 80-line program, and got it to work. It was fun, but I'm so...

Nitpick: Ceph is anything but fast.

And you can reallly trust that the collected data won't all be leaked as part of a major breach in a few years... (or sold) what utter folly.

It's worth trying for real. I use square graph notebooks for projects since ages. If I lose all hardware by a disaster, I only have to look at this to remember everything. :cool:

Hi, I just installed a 14.3 VM and when I ran gitup, after editing my /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf so that release read 15.0, I was able to run gitup release without a problem. It may have been a temporary glitch that bxbzq ran into.

If you have a notebook and a pencil, you can draw an animation frame by frame on the bottom corners of the odd pages. Then, you put your thumb on the corner so that you make the pages pass very quickly, thus seeing the animation. No ads. No tracking.

C++ is c = c + 1 C+ is c = c + Specifically, it is an "error: expected expression"

Completely agree. It also has another benefit. It isn't just members that are public by default with a struct. Inheritance is also public. So you can avoid excess noise (C++ is verbose enough). If Employee is defined as a struct rather than...

The usual way that that's done is as a pilot project with a subset of the users that are more technically inclined. It's an opportunity to both establish that as well as identify anything that needs to come up during training. But, most of the...

This all involves some high level math surrounding the main point of not generating duplicate numbers. If you're just an average joe making a game, then anything will probably work out but there are space adventures where it will not.

I wonder if you pay to remove ads does that also remove tracking.

I spent a full day testing a few IDEs and editors, and in the end I came back to Geany + Vim. I realised I was actually looking for an “integrated environment”, but that was the wrong approach for me — my workflow is deliberately decomposed...

Well, that's my point about familiarity. Netflix had time to decide FreeBSD was best for their video distribution. They had the time but...I don't know about the others.

My favorite thing about this forum is that nobody can read what anyone else posts.

It had to have been a typo. The error message didn't make sense. Anyway, I was wondering if startx worked at all, without all the argument shenanigans. If X fails then it certainly isn't going to do anything with the arguments.

oh i see it now. i typed /var/run/log instead of /var/log lol

Point #2 and #3 are spot on but #1 requires a bit of expansion. Claim that isolating "memory unsafe" code in the appropriate scopes sounds logical, but only if you work with people who can't constrain themselves from bad design or touching code...
