I was browsing the git commit logs after a pull in the main branch, and it seems the problem has been fixed: nfs_nfsdsocket.c: All Copy and Clone across file systems PR: 294010 MFC after: 2 weeks

Kdevelop.

As the saying goes, there are many ways leading to Rome; Kai Burghardt has shown one. Your capitalization request, as based on your example (i.e.: capitalize all words as a "preformat" action), can be done with GNU sed extensions; see 5.6...

This is just an example..... This is file A # /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf written by wifimgr(8) network={ } This is file B ssid="UPC240613990" bssid=34:7a:60:d9:f8:4d key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=RSN psk="CVRK54CV" I want the result to look...

Ironically, that realisation alone makes you quite a good C++ programmer in comparison! Part of the reason why C++ has such a bad name for itself in terms of safety (and everything else) is because people treated it too much like C in the early...

This is probably one of your better, if not the best, solution. However, this will affect other port builds. Given that FreeBSD 13 retires at the next month upgrading to FreeBSD 14 or 15 would be a better, and in the long run, a more secure...

You'll potentially be mixing OpenSSL from base and ports, if you have ports that incorrectly links with both for some reason (and indirectly from dependencies) you may up end with compilation and/or runtime issues. In theory this shouldn't be an...

It's overrated anyway. Having a cockpit style development environment is pretty useless and doesn't improve anything. Why do 100 program functions need to be immediately available in 1 window? I think you can uninstall the WM too if you're there...

I think it was actually a scam to make a protected mode multitasking OS look superior. Everything in Windows 95 graphics mode was suddenly proprietary and DOS stayed limited to SVGA.

If all they're doing is reading logs, they shouldn't be aware of even having admin rights, and shouldn't miss the permission if it's randomly revoked unless it was being misused (or in security-reduction context abused) for another...

For me, the only use-case for manual partitioning is that I like being able to run different versions of FreeBSD on the same machine (example: 13.5, 14.3). So I still do that manual partitioning step.

No, except for swap.

I upgraded to 14.4: root@devpi5:~ # freebsd-version -ku 14.4-RELEASE-p1 14.4-RELEASE-p1 root@devpi5:~ # uname -a FreeBSD devpi5 14.4-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC arm64 no big changes. - still no fan (other than a brief spin at...

Thanks for taking time to make a how to :)

EMACS = "Eight Megabytes of RAM and Contiguous Swapping"

On VirtualBox 7.2, Ubuntu boots correctly again.

Do you see this (in green)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twm

So a lot of people call it "modern" but its popularity rose due to a technical limitation on DOS (i.e MS-DOS), where multi-tasking was so poor, that an all-in-one monolithic program became the norm for student/hobby developers using that platform...

A bunch of printf statements is all you need for debugging.

A *guess* (as drhowarddrfine said, not enough inforamation--which happens, when you're new, you aren't sure what's important). See if whatever is giving you that cut off information either has a square button to push, or if you can drag the...

Need more info. Assuming you installed 15.0-RELEASE? Are you following the Handbook? What GUI are you talking about? What have you actually done? Show us the text. Preferably not images if possible.

But why? What's wrong with that?

Never seen it, actually. Only a special bootpartition that installs back the original system. I usually wipe it for the space. Does the key say something on USB or something else it's connected to? It can also be dedicated wiring apart from the...

The question is, is the "Recovery" key recognized by the system video console keyboard driver/controller in the first place. Many multimedia or dual function keys are not recognized, the "Recovery" key could be among these. misc/kbdscan should...

Yes.

Yes.

It does. Edit: for efi, it does not add, it updates if there is already a FreeBSD loader, it won't write a new file. For a freebsd-boot partition it can put a BIOS loader if you select the -f option. It will take then the root file system as hint...

Try instead running release.sh the source and iso build from the source code directories directly. Skip cloning if there is a 14.4 source tree already: # mkdir /usr/src-14.4 # git clone --branch releng/14.4 https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git...

The best way would be to invoke sed only once, i. e. one script achieves all necessary steps. Care to show us your scripts? And sample inputs. Maybe it is not possible with sed, but another tool could do what you want. Well, if you know the line...

Many laptops have a "recovery key" to either recover from a clean saved state or mark a state as clean. With ZFS, this could easily be done via devd.conf if devd can detect that this key was pressed . It should not be too complicated with UFS...

When it comes to using a debugger: I like being able to set breakpoints directly in the edit buffer as well as the next person. But in practice my debugging needs quickly evolve to the point where I need extensive .gdbinit statements, and that...

Sniff++ was an excellent IDE, but it's gone. IDK, but chances are the company was target of a M&A and the codebase was integrated into another IDE or the product was just renamed. Would be interesting to know if an successor is still availabe s/wh.

After "untethering" the phone did you configure the wifi device according to handbook chapter 7.4. Wireless Networks ? Be advised, the rtw89 driver module on 15.0-RELEASE may work unstable ( driver is still in development). I have a RTL8852AE...

EMACS = "Eight Megabytes of RAM and Contiguous Swapping"

This is close to the issues with IDEs. They assume i.e a specific formatting convention. Most developers work on such as wide variety of codebases, each with their own standards that modifying the autoformat is a full time job. Whats really...

EMACS = "Eight Megabytes of RAM and Contiguous Swapping"

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. I tried but can't get it to work. I have two files. The frst one I want to reformat, and insert the result after a particular in the second file. eg a contains london new york rome b...

Is this not just a standard pipe: sed -f scr1 a | sed -f scr2 > c sed just uses standard input if no input file is specified. I would ignore ChatGPT (in this case, and more generally...).

There is no utility in the base to add and update boot code specifically (not counting gpart bootcode argument). There is sysutils/loaders-update in ports (created by forums user Emrion by the way), but I haven't used it. It updates bootcode but...

I'm wondering if someone can help me come up with a way of piping the output of one sed script into another... In simple terms I have a list of items which I want to preformat and then insert them into another file at a specific location. I...

I have a directory that is periodically populated with logs like that: 2026-03-18_22-56-00.log 2026-03-19_02-30-00.log 2026-03-22_02-30-00.log 2026-03-25_02-30-00.log 2026-03-25_17-08-16.log I want to compress the files that are older than 7...

Ah... Since March of this year, .tar.gz tarballs are no longer available from the cgit mirror. I have to fetch a .zip from Github: fetch https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/archive/refs/heads/main.zip fetch and unzip are in FreeBSD base...

So what OCI Image do I need? I can't find anything explaining the differences between these: freebsd-runtime freebsd-toolchain freebsd-static freebsd-notoolchain freebsd-dynamic Lets say I need to install a package and run a build as part of a...

What gave you the idea to run that command? It doesn't make very much sense to me, as curl does not usually listen itself on any port. We would use curl -V to show the compilation options: π curl -V curl 8.4.0 (amd64-portbld-freebsd13.2)...

I tried to find a way to see if curl was using the OpenSSL option in my system. I'm might need to move to FreeBSD 15.x sooner than I hoped for. Thanks,
