    Right. But for some reason that dir file got included with the gcc-arm-embedded package, which then causes the pkg-check issue. You should definitely report it so it can be fixed (and bring it inline with the others).

    who cares about an advertising platform that always has been intentionally the most developer-hostile environment? If someone chooses to suffer with that junk, it's on them how to get basic tools working.

    If you previously ran 12.x you have been missing at least 2 years worth of changes to x11/xorg. FreeBSD 12 has been EoL for quite some time. If X doesn't work, anything running on top of X (like XFCE) certainly won't either. What's in...

    The po column is the more important one of the two, because it specifies the amount of page-out activity towards the swap partitions. If you get non-zero numbers here over longer periods of time, it might mean that you have a problem with the...

    Whats the catch? The xorg has changed? It must be the keyboard -driver to the libinput? How about starting the XFCE, it does not yet work?

    Indeed. In embedded, the freestanding C++ standard is quite common. Things like Zephyr let you drag in small subsets of STL as seen fit. The STL gets so much wrong in terms of safety that at work we tend to avoid it for lots of things. Actually...

    Thus the problem. There is an article online that says the free AI tools are not what company programmers use. Those types pay for the AI tools they use and that means hundreds of dollars a month. Even then the generated code has to be gone...

    No, that is an entirely different way of doing X11. You don't need any of that when you use X11 forwarding through ssh.

    None of these files had anything to do with upgrading the base OS. Xorg isn't part of the base. You upgraded packages after the (major) version upgrade, as you should. If you went from 12.x to 14.x you very likely had an old x11/xorg installed...

    Sounds as if you're using the older fcitx rather than fcitx5. (I think FreeBSD only has mozc with fcitx, and with fcitx5 you have to use anthy) To quote my own page https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html about FreeBSD and fcitx (as opposed to fcitx5

    No idea what you are doing with vm and X11, but: In the server side, where you have the display: 1) you must run Xorg with the flag "-listen tcp" 2) You must type something like: xhost + On the client side, where start x clients, you must give...

    It's backslash with me always. I mostly notice what happens. If things stop working suddenly, that's a typo in 1 of the last files. You could use the locate-db to scan all files with shell code and check the first line,

    Yes, I know they are prompts, but when you are copying and pasting them they are a pain. I just noticed a little icon that copies the code to your clipboard. Is that a recent addition?

    This problem is update and upgrade related and this post should have been in another forum. In the update from FreeBSD 12 to 14 there were (new?) xorg.conf files in default search path in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf when there were old...

    Perhaps too complicated for today's AI, but it is also pattern matching, the phrase "code documentation system" is a pattern, otherwise it would not exist, and new means apply chaos to find something else than the "c++ code documentation systems"...
