I wonder how it is even possible for bitperfect mode to not work when mixer mode works. Bitperfect should be the simpler of the two. Might be worth emailing the code owner about.

My printer is an HP Deskjet 5150. I get the option of HP Deskjet 5100, but I guess this is close enough. I'm also asked to provide a PPD file. I don't know what that is and if I really need one. Anyway I added the printer and proceeded to try...

The Intel Arc B580 apparently requires certain bits which only Linux 6.12+ provides. https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-b580-graphics-linux FreeBSD drm-kmod in ports is currently at most version 6.9 (graphics/drm-latest-kmod), and 6.10...

Can the printer power on with just USB connected? Maybe it offers that for low-power/efficiency. Could maybe be a USB flash/update/recovery means?

I have just notice that usbconfig shows Deskjet 5150c HP when I connect a USB cable between the computer and printer even though the printer is switched off. This surprises me. Can anyone explain how this works?

Yes. Then from there, Administration → Add Printer, and follow the wizard. There should be a "Local Port" option at some point that lists your USB port, and then another one to select make/model and thus driver. From there, you can set as default...

The disks not parking is a ZFS issue that was fixed last week in OpenZFS. https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/18138

xauth is there. It is xauth printing the error message.

What happens if you call `xauth generate` on your local machine? (no ssh)

TeamSpeak's still an option! https://kotaku.com/discord-alternative-teamspeak-age-verification-check-rivals-2000669693 Before Discord came out I hosted a TS3 server for a bit before Mumble :D

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...

Tragic that it is necessary to explain this. People do not understand anymore what X11 really is. That is why they think wayland is a substitute X11. That is why X11 is in danger. That is perhaps the problem. I am using a remote OpenBSD...

Well, I do not really know markdown, but I know what it is. Normally together with markdown html is offered and I select html. But if I use your program, I can learn it fast. I can convert mdoc to ascii with: nroff -T ascii -mdoc file

Had to wait until I got home, had dinner. Set up the test machine, looked for a way to make a screenshot. Then: (sorry for the resolution, I know, it's a lot) I mean I can't tell you why it's not working for you. All I can say, the only...

No, not 100%, it does not show the option letters. Cheated, but ask it to correct it ... This script is a fork? Perhaps chatgpt knew something before? I have the impression that, due to the AI hype, people expect too much from AI. Since I was...

yeah, this is what English classes are for. Learning the basics of spelling, sentence structure, choice of vocabulary, considering the tone, the audience, technical standards for formatting... and practicing your ass off so that those skills are...

That are two different workflows, that is what I was trying to explain as you got offended ...

You can show it here. But the idea is to use it as assistant, not put there own info, not put and get.

"Digital Microphone Interface"

Entirely different way. What you have is a graphics console you can access through VNC. With remote X you connect from system A to system B, run the application on B and get the actual window/widgets/whatnot of that application on system A. The...

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.

And forwarding the port that it's exporting doesn't accomplish that? It just feels very much like this whole set of proposed solutions is just solving the wrong problem. Use the setup I posted, and take that port and forward it from the host...

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.
