Check top for high intr/usb usage

Too much 'philosophy', few technique, in spite that in spite of all AI hype the results are impressive.

When I install it, (ja-fcitx5-anthy, running fcitx5-configtool), I have an English language version of what you're showing. I highlight anthy, and click the little < arrow at the top of those symbols in the middle. Anthy then shows up on the...

Who's this illusive "they"?

I think I'll start from scratch on another computer. From what I can make out, I first need to install cups and hplip and then sysrc cupsd_enable=YES service cupsd start after which I should be able to http://localhost:631/

Make sure that x11/xauth is installed on the guest machine. It's trying to add an MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE to the .Xauthority file on the VM. It won't work without xauth installed.

get the same error.

Yes, the concept of opening a remote X application through X-forwarding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System#Remote_desktop

I feel like I'm missing something here. My notes don't indicate any use of SSH at all to access my VM's Xorg display. The only thing that I've done to get it working was use the UEFI loader and I was able to access the VM via tigervnc using the...

Battlemage GPUs are still not supported, because there is functionality missing from DRM. Tested Asrock B580 on 16-CURRENT snapshot of a week ago.

Please stop setting the DISPLAY variable yourself.

Perhaps the problem is not in xauth, just tried with -Y:

Just tried:

bhyveload(8) does not emulate CSM (legacy BIOS). You can use it to boot FreeBSD VMs. It does not support Windows and Linux VMs in CSM mode. I've tried ll this: to convert a Windows 10 legacy boot physical to a UEFI boot bhyve VM. It worked for...

ssh -X 10.0.0.208 /usr/local/bin/xclock

Does anybody know if there is a progress on this? Back on Oct 10, 2024 there was an announcement about future work.

What you are looking for is this. It was deprecated and removed from ports because upstream had stopped supporting the software and archived it. It is abandonware. To use a legacy boot O/S on FreeBSD you must choose one of the other...

And although this trick makes the tap interface in the bridge work for running inside qemu it does not make it work for running inside bhyve. Sigh.

Actually it is neither. What needs to happen if a `ifconfig tap1 up` before every qemu start. Then I get the reply packets.

iPXE doesn't seem to like Linux PXE either: Configuring (net0 00:a0:98:ea:28:35)...DHCP 0xbd802268 DHCPDISCOVER DHCP 0xbd802268 DHCPOFFER from 172.16.30.1:67 for 172.18.27.128 .DHCP 0xbd802268 DHCPDISCOVER...

Looks like iPXE has two problems with my FreeBSD PXE boot: net0: 172.18.27.127/255.255.0.0 gw 172.18.30.2 net0: fd20:eba7:3816::944/64 gw fe80::a33:edff:fe86:6c72 net0: fe80::2a0:98ff:feea:2835/64 Next server: 172.18.30.2 Filename...

Hey that worked! So it was either the sysctl settings or the "tap1 up". Will narrow down later. On to the next problem: iPXE doesn't like my root-path from the dhcp server...

Found an old prepare script that at least worked in FreeBSD 14.x. Maybe it's the sysctl settings... #!/usr/local/bin/bash sysctl net.link.tap.user_open=1 sysctl net.link.tap.up_on_open=1 if [ -z "$(ifconfig | grep tap0)" ] then ifconfig tap0...

And I never did it, although I would want to try it, but it is perhaps not for X on a local net and not the best for X.

Remove everything from each entry and only set the url (and perhaps leave enabled in there for convenience). Then once you are done with the base OS upgrade, rename FreeBSD to FreeBSD-ports, and FreeBSD-kmods to FreeBSD-ports-kmods.

I don't have them. Will create. ETA: did not help

Do the empty executable files qemu-ifup and qemu-ifdown exist? I remember this was called by Qemu because the tap device is stateless. Not sure if it's still needed. ln -fs /usr/bin/true /etc/qemu-ifup ln -fs /usr/bin/true /etc/qemu-ifdown

I don't understand what the OP's issue with X-forwarding is though, I've done this a million times and it typically works without any issues. The only thing that bit me at some point was the fact X-Forwarding defaulted to "off" instead of "on"...

As far as I know, with xdm security mechanisms are activated. Perhaps you can try and see. I do it with xinit, I have files .xinitrc and .xserverrc where I start Xorg with tcp flag, far of the ideal. I do not know how to do it with xdm. Yes, a...

Connections never worked, and you've never had an X session started on this account, so the file doesn't exist yet.

No, this is a direct connection to X, nothing to do with X forwarding.

I am trying to run a QEMU VM while bridging the virtual network interface to my physical Ethernet. The physical interface is cabled so the usual Wifi problem with spoofing doesn't apply. Here is what I have and it doesn't work...

Hehe, no, it's a common idiom that means the issue or problem exceeds my knowledge and/or expertise.

If I remember correctly that 32 bit WINE trick that was previously used took some time to materialize too. I'm interested but it's way above my paygrade to even attempt it.

Refer to https://www.snbforums.com/threads/unbound-tuning-for-gaming.95021/ No need to go over the whole thing again here. Thread closed.

Getting 32 bit Wine working poses a bit of a problem in 15.0. It was more or less a hack to get a 32 bit version installed on a 64 bit system. Don't get me wrong, it was impressive someone got it to work at all. Now it just requires a different...

So, you didn't notice the "X server already running..." message? No. It doesn't exist any more. It got deprecated more than 5 years ago. sysutils/hal

You do not need x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel and/or Driver "intel". As a matter of fact, try without any configuration, it should simply detect everything automagically (and settle on the modesetting driver)...

If you want to boot PC-DOS 2000 off USB you just dump the entire installed image onto USB. You install that image via a VM or emulator. To repeat, you create a virtual PC, backed by HDD image that is of exact size as your USB drive. Then you...

I usually have a situation that I have just installed a port and I immediately want to find an appropriate manual page for it using apropos, but it can't locate it. The reason why is that apropos uses the database generated by makewhatis and...

This doesn't work for rc.conf. Keep in mind that rc.conf is essentially a shell script that only contains variable assignments. += is a syntax error. etcupdate will not and does not touch /etc/rc.conf.

Nice. That is the most primitive way of X forwarding. I use it only for short periods of time. Take care of security, 'xhost +' means allow anyone. Perhaps look at xauth.

Alright, that looks good. Now use it to switch to 1280x720; xrandr -s 1280x720 That should work, just want to rule out issues caused by configuration settings from the various DEs you tried.

I know this. I was following a guide to create a DOS bootable USB stick and that guide uses MS DOS.

Yes, that is exactly what you shouldn't do ;)

Maybe related by my good friend Jeff Geerling who lives 10 minutes from me and I've never met: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/ai-is-destroying-open-source/ Actually, I live closer to Wayne Gretzky but now I'm really getting off topic.

You misunderstood me. Of course I do appreciate your program and I made a bookmark to it for the case I need it. Thanks for it. That is what I wanted to say: it is not my workflow. No big plan before beginning coding, but yes, making notes on...

That's EXACTLY what it was! The dual "ifconfig_eth0" lines! I had the 2nd line commented out a few lines after this (omitted). But for some reason I threw it back in there and didn't realize it. The whole point of that line is because I had...
