Really?! 1. Please explain what a FreeBSD loader inferface has to do with legacy BIOS. 2. Even if loader(8) and by exention byhyveloader(8) was to provide a legacy BIOS interface, why would you need it to provide a legacy BIOS interface? Which...

I’m going to put you on ignore bro. The level of paranoia in your messages is setting off a lot of red flags for me.

We don’t really get to choose who we work with because we operate under government contracts and must follow DoD regulations. To work with us, you would need to submit a bid and meet specific requirements the contract typically goes to whoever...

They will probably reject my merge request but I have poked the bear. 🤣 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-login-manager/-/merge_requests/107/diffs#fb94cd5d91673499b20f51d18b361552fc5a0bd3

Thanks for the response, but my use would fall under commercial usage.

Now we have the web browser widget working in hml/js and c++ its not perfect but its a start, also this is being shown on fedora because this library is especially hard to get working on FreeBSD.

My point was atax1a is criticizing others work without showing us there's. They look like a hippocrat.

My point was directed at another commenter who is convinced that the us government is going to let Microsoft crash the us economy in the next 12 - 18 month by eliminating 60% of the workforce. Which is absolutely ridicules. I mean we price...

Well some of you completely ignore the aspect of graphical Unix workstation. You can run slim X11 environments booted with startx. I right now do the startx too because I haven't gotten around taking care of sddm yet. Sudo is useless? If you...

McKusick owns the copyright for Beastie and you're free to use it if it's for advocating FreeBSD.

But.. in answer to your original question. man(1) pages were usually hand created using vi(1) and/or emacs(1) or similar back in the day. Of course we just copied (another) existing man(1) page and edited that file into a new man page for our...

TeX or nuffin'.

Hello, I am not new to FreeBSD and I have not migrated from another operating system as reply to OPs question. Well, technically I came to FreeBSD via the ZX Spectrum - Amiga - PC route. The hobbyist route. (Short break here to thank SirDice...

Imo that shouldn't even be a feature on public forums; if you're on the forum you already agree to its contents, and it forum moderators find it fine why self-censor? Afaik someone posting positively about AI one day doesn't necessarily define...

Is or is not? I don't understand. It is on the website of openprinting.org

I just quickly installed a GhostBSD VM to see for myself and yes, it does seem as if it only has fcitx with qt5. Any chance of you trying fcitx5? (For those annoyed about this being GhostBSD, it seems the package sets are the same as regular...

Currently the only way to use mozc with textproc/fcitx5 is to use overlay that Ken DEGUCHI is providing and build locally. And if toggling Japanese inputs on non-KDE Qt apps works but not for KDE apps, confirm you're on xorg or xlibre and NOT on...

After installing xfce4-desktop again: # pkg install xfce4-desktop The following happened: There are multiple desktops inside one other, the original xclock and xterm in the background. This time the slim does not work.

Explain what this will do:- cp io.sys msdos.sys command.com /mnt/ I simply don't understand the point. FreeBSD won't see those files AFAICS..

A nice way to install Desktop environments @"Installing a Desktop Environment on FreeBSD", written by FreeBSD Foundation. It looks easy. There are some tools to help to change the desktop environment. In this case it don't help. I was not fixing...

That's why I mentioned the "loaded gun" - kern.geom.debugflags will allow you to do so. This way you can test if ssd's fw is doing this or if kernel has a reason for doing so.

You seem to be sufficiently far along with this to just submitting a PR. Any technical details would be discussed by the individual committer(s) then. This forum is mostly a user support forum so few ports committers are around. Check for open...

I read the link with much interest but couldn't understand these instructions:- My reading is that you create three empty files with names in uppercse because this is crucial and then you proceed to overwrite with names in lower case! I'm...

Well you could just not participate in a forum topic titled "AI for writing documentation"

I come to think following Gtk major versions is not a good thing, as Gnome is going to dispose X11. Forking Gtk3 and maintaining (by someone possible, but unfortunately, not me) it seems to be way to go. Or fork upcoming Gtk5 to adapt again with...

Well you could just not participate in a forum topic titled "AI for writing documentation"

My normal documentation are short, concise commentaries in the source. My programs are for personal use. Your approach is good for someone wanting to spend time documenting manually. But even the AI can be used to get a first draft.

You’re the only one making this personal. I offered a clear challenge, but now you’re backing out. If you’re going to criticize code "human or AI" it’s fair to show your repositories.

Just try it with the script above. With grok, with google, with claude or any other AI engine. Try it as I wrote above before discussing, try it with your own programs. Try it! It is not difficult, only copy and paste, ask for a man page or a README.

Are we talking ai is documenting the code or ai is create a system to document code? Also could you provide a link to your github or gitlab repos?

Who are you? No one here knows you, and you came into our community harassing people. So you wan't to show everyone that your a better coder than ai?

I've never done anything with Tcl, but even I can tell your analysis of the provided code is dead wrong.

You mean http://localhost:631/ ? I have this but don't know where to start. Is there some option to try and print a test page?

Put it in an AI engine, it will get immediately what it does, perhaps with some imperfection, but it gets it. Then ask it if sed is not better. What it does not get, is, that it is designed for TeX. Then enter that it is for TeX and ask the AI...

I have hplip installed but no idea what it does.

Mine want's to play woith the humans. Now that I am awake, would you care to compete against my ai in writing a doc system for c++? Because you won't win, in fact I am fairly confident its going to embarrass you.

Could be. Personally I'd expect I/O error floods in syslog then.

what does any of this configuration have to do with gaming?

Does it do something I can't use sed to change text? Not sure what it does, but I can read puts -nonewline :p

lpadmin -p printername does not have any output. I have not run anything else because I don't know what to run. I'm trying to establish whether there is any interaction between CUPS and my printer. As I mentioned this is the first time I have...

I do not need to demonstrate it to you. I used it also for writing README files of SQL schemata and other tcl scripts, and it is a nice tool when one does not want to invest much time on such things. I can later improve the documentation manually.

I doubt whether I have a configured printer. I did originally call it myprinter

For SLiM to work correctly ~/.xinitrc should look something like this: DEFAULTWM= startxfce4 [ -f "$HOME/.Xresources" ] && xrdb "$HOME/.Xresources" if [ -n "$1" ]; then case $1 in default) exec ck-launch-session...

hplip is installed. The only command I have run is lpadmin -p printername I guess I need to use drv:///sample.drv/deskjet.ppd HP DeskJet Series somewhere but not sure where. Do I need to run something like - lpadmin -p printername -E -v...

What is the result of lpstat -p? That should list any available printers. For example, I have one printer, which I call BrotherMFC. If I run cupsd, and the printer is not on, I get printer BrotherMFC is idle. enabled since Tue Feb 10 13:14:43...
