You'll need x11/linux-nvidia-libs, devel/libepoll-shim, emulators/libc6-shim and maybe science/linux-ai-ml-env to use CUDA on Linuxulator. With all the above installed (-devel variants of NVIDIA things, though), % nv-sglrun nvidia-smi...

pkg-install can install by package name, or port origin. So pkg install sudo or pkg install security/sudo will do the same thing.

I acquired some stuff that included extras like that (would be a surprise when one played on a random shuffle :p), I find em cool to see at times! I was surprised to see Shredder's voice actor for 1987 TMNT and it was cool to hear about him for a...

Many things are moving towards Vulkan as a compute backend. Unlike OpenGL, it is flexible enough. PyTorch looks a little unmaintained though for Vulkan. It could also be that the FreeBSD port for compute related work is simply incomplete too.

Not actually tried (don't have anything handy to install and clearly harmless for me), but assuming pkg outputs to stdout, pkg install <pkg_to_install> | tee <file_to_save> would work with messages to be shown to display, too. If it fails to...

I had a window capture option on 16.0 about a week ago (streamed Runescape from Firefox window)

I'm a migrant from a Devuan Linux main installation. I've transitioned almost completely to FreeBSD, and on the FreeBSD side, everything mostly works without a hitch. I have already been using AMD GPUs because I know what kind of crap NVIDIA has...

You're not alone indeed, it's a known bug; it's been discussed here, but probably is not much in evidence: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/trying-to-run-kde-6-plasma-with-wayland.93951/page-31#post-748576. This thread you started should help...

Helped me too, Thanks a lot

Found it! In my case it was "Show seconds:" "Only in the tool-tip". I changed it to "Never" and plasmashell stopped eat CPU. Thanks.

In my case plasmashell runs at 100% first 20 minutes after login. The clock widget configured don't show seconds.

Is there any way to redirect messages to a file at the same time as installing pkgs?

Or from all of them at once; pkg info -Da Useful if you forgot the exact name of the package that had the message you are looking for.

pkg info -D package_name

You can set up a dhcp server to serve IP address based on MAC address in which case you only need to specify ifconfig_emX="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf on your FreeBSD system. You need to replace emX with whatever your system assigns as your...

Basic command; ifconfig <interface> inet <ip address> netmask <subnet mask>, for example; ifconfig em0 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 Or, in rc.conf: ifconfig_em0="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Or from all of them at once; pkg info -Da Useful if you forgot the exact name of the package that had the message you are looking for.

At least I'm thinking that if there is a TCP buffer size (as there is in Linux as well), these connected small programs have all an own connection. Is this the same TCP buffer or do all of the programs (TCP sockets) get the same size buffer?

How do I get a list of messages for installed pkgs? And is there a handy way to retain messages output when installing a pkg?

Do you have a DHCP server? What does ifconfig show?

Check vermaden 's article "FreeBSD/Poudriere in High Security Proxy Environments", "Important Poudriere Config Part" (scroll the page half the way down). Try adding SOCKS5_PROXY besides the other PROXY variables.

I'm betting you got an error on su. I'm pretty sure your user isn't a member of the wheel group. Newbies always struggle with this. Just logout, and login with root. Then install security/sudo or security/doas, whichever you prefer. Configure...

Login as root, then install what you need.

The difference results from the sector size the "Providers" were initialized with (geli init -s, without specifying the sector size, it defaults to 512): The 3.6T device was initialized with a "Sectorsize" of 512 , the 1.8T internal device with...

What settings are you looking for?

Only put drivers in loader.conf that are essential to boot the system. Everything else should be added to kld_list in rc.conf. Like so sysrc kld_list+=xb360gp

net-mgmt/networkmgr Don't know how well it works, never used it myself.

I unified generic conversion mode and labeling conversion mode. simplified the code. now lgbt's mode is one. closelabel and openlabel are converted unique labels and indents at the same time.

This bug was fixed recently.

I had to startpage (an alternative search engine) that one. I did watch a trailer that came up in the search, and I did get a chuckle. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-_5JJmNB6E I'm thinking of trying to track down the series now...

I will say this only once. Michelle from the resistance.

Asking on a forum if someone already did it or knows about someone who did takes minutes. I am old. My days are short.

Java. Write once, run everywhere. Sure :)

I think the best thing is to describe exactly what you did. Did you type the words pkg install update? If I do that I get a message that no pkg available matching update. Did you try to install one package, like pkg install firefox? Did you...

Solved it. First of all, enabling natd after the OpenVPN daemon stopped the original issue which prevented connectivity with bge0: # OpenVPN firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" firewall_logging="NO" gateway_enable="YES"...

FreeBSD is one word. copy/paste the actual entry when you do this. Which version of FreeBSD did you install?

Since you can only install packages as root, this makes me want to ask other questions.

I mentioned this in the CA thread, but there's an article about some System76 people having discussions with lawmakers. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/10/foss_age_verification_2/

For what it's worth, I saw an article (The register? I can't find it now though) how in Colorado, EFF or someone had opened a discussion with a lawmaker who hadn't considered such a thing. AHA! Found it...

If it angers you, then it might mean it's about you. Reminds me of an old Margaret Cho routine, Then there's the tramp (she uses a meaner word). She goes on about how in every dramatic portrayal of women, one is usually playing such a role. Then...

The updates and patches are downloaded and stored in /var/db/freebsd-update/. The install phase loads them from there. Saying 'no' to the proposed changes stops the entire upgrade process. Your freebsd-update .... upgrade never "finished", so...

Thanks, saying 'yes' to the proposed changes of /etc/dma/auth.conf solved the issue. I was trying to keep my settings not overwritten!

Did you recently upgrade? Are you increasing privilege with su or similar from a normal user or are you logged in as root? What's the output of these commands: freebsd-version -kru mount ls -ld /var/db/pkg

They are. But there is small room for meta jokes, so jokes about jokes could sometimes be tolerated.
