To make a MBR/Legacy/CSM boot media, I'd use WoeUSB from a Linux LiveUSB; it's likely possible to do the boot flag and hookups from FreeBSD, but I wasn't a fan of figuring that out years ago on Windows and just used Rufus :p UEFI boot is easy...

so etcupdate? how does that basically work just run it and that's it?

The painfull way is install win10 and then download some tool and make a bootable iso (I never can create a winxp and win7 bootable iso in FreeBSD) A windows 10 usb bootable image can be done in fbsd Here Creating a Windows 10 bootable...

It's easy to download and compile this: https://github.com/pbatard/ms-sys I compiled it, it's supposed to work. I tried it but didn't have time to figure it out. I wonder if anyone had luck using that.

Nice, which GTK theme is that?

Ah watches. I heir a HMT from grandparents (40Y old) and recently bought a G Shock. Watches are miracles

I still have analog wrist diving watches, and do much of my car repairs when needed. There are places I won't go, like ABS but changing pads, discs, ... off you go.

I'll do it for $9 million.

Double Helix

Lately, I’ve been finding that the more time I spend staring at a terminal or debugging a kernel panic, the more I crave things that are purely mechanical. There’s something about a tool that works because of physics and tight tolerances rather...

Why should she? Most people in this forum are just users. We users get what the developers decide to do, and I'm perfectly fine with it because it's free of charge and works very well. Besides, no one will prevent you from installing any other...

This is such a good setup

I believe that FreeBSD should not actively support projects that do not support FreeBSD by requiring stuff like systemd or Wayland. FreeBSD is about choice. There are enough desktop environments that are less "prejudiced". I believe MATE is one...

Well, I tried it, and it is a decent tiling window manager, and does, unlike dwl, work with fcitx5. I found some of my desired key combos didn't work, but could easily make do with using it. (As for key combos, I'm sure it's something I misread...

Don't use mergemaster(8), it is removed on >=15.0: mergemaster(8) FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE DESCRIPTION The mergemaster utility is deprecated and may not be available in FreeBSD 15.0 or later. Users are advised to use...

I'll leave it here for those who experiance the same issue, once I "make cleanworld cleandir" the issue went away.

Removed /usr/obj did git checkout releng/15.0 .. make -j21 buildkernel buildworld (kernconf is defined in make.conf), once compiled I did make -j21 installkernel kernel booted, no issue mergemaster -iU and after make -j21 installworld, pkg...

I suggest you open a PR https://bugs.freebsd.org. Let the FreeBSD developers know.

Did you catch this in the first Batman movie that had Robin in it? When it first came out, I think I was the only one in the theater who laughed out loud.

Hmm, I'm guessing this won't for for FreeBSD 14.4-release? (which is what my Pi5 runs now).

This is the original kernel output. I will investigate it in the future.

Maybe lang/rust would need warnings on build something like www/chromium does. pre-everything:: @${ECHO_MSG} @${ECHO_MSG} "To build ${PORTNAME}, you should have at least:" @${ECHO_MSG} "- ${WANTMEM} of memory" @${ECHO_MSG} "-...

No manpage, no real help. Just a /usr/local/etc/mango conf file. Sparse documentation on the Arch Wiki. I'll have to save this for when I have time to try things and see if they work. For example, does dwlbar work with it? It might, and might...

You make a branch for your local changes and when main updates you rebase. You might have conflicts, but there is no method to avoid that. If you never want to push changes anywhere you can also do it without branching and just committing to...

It's funny that people now write frontends for git. At google we had git as a frontend for another VCS because it was much more convenient.

This should be working as expected now.

Did you find a solution for this? I can't build rust-1.94.0 in a Poudiere jail using latest ports. I get this output Compiling pulldown-cmark-escape v0.11.0 Running `/wrkdirs/usr/ports/lang/rust/work/_build/bootstrap/debug/rustc...

This should be working as expected now.

A lot of people prefer mercurial, too.

It just seems like programmers keep trying to follow some bus somewhere. Like greener pastures when they don't exist. There is always some better scheme to sell. https://wiki.freebsd.org/VersionControl

Links to screenshots or something would be helpful. It seems (from casual glances around the web) to be like dwl but allowing fcitx to work which would be a plus for me and few others on the forums. I'll have to try it when I have some time.

I tried to run windows 64bit application in wine in FreeBSD 14.4 in KDE plasma6. After installation of wine and 32bit part by pkg32 (packages: wine mesa-dri wine-mono wine-gecko) there is a time to create WINEPREFIX. So WINEARCH=win64 winecfg...

Qapla'

I'm afraid we're only destroying disks here 😁

In the end it probably doesn’t matter much. However, option 1) seems more appropriate to me, because with option 2) there’s a chance of an unnecessary double upgrade of the kernel module. First the module would be upgraded for the previous minor...

I’m wondering whether the order of package upgrades matters. 1. pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD 2. pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-kmods Does the order matter, and if so, which one is correct or at least...

I need to install a 32 bit version of Windows to be able to apply a BIOS upgrade to a laptop. I have ISOs in WinXP and Win7 but it seems that I can only install them via Rufus which is a Windows program. Is there a FreeBSD equivalent of Rufus?

As a user Subversion did all I ever needed..

It already exists. It is called svn.

Github web interface needs to be replaced with something that works. https://github.com/Kwiboo/u-boot-rockchip/tree/rk3528/configs Showing two thirds of the files is utterly useless.

I have always considered git to be a pain in the rear. We used it cause others used it and we had to interface to them. I think "them" used it for the same reason--other people used it, not because they liked it. If git was that good, why are...

If I remember the movie, Hasta la vista was what the young John Conner taught the terminator to use as "hip" slang among young USA people of that area (West Coast, I think). By that time I was a lot older than John Conner was supposed to be and...

Who knows? As for Batman the TV series was actually a satire, though I was too young to realize it at the time.
