I have a set of scripts that create a graphical system from only source data in a chroot tree. An entire run from scratch takes +/- 6 hours on my fast box. It currently completes without problems on different computers. The only thing about it is...
The games/minecraft-server port includes a proper rc script, take that as an example. Modify it a bit so it starts your minecraft server including the mods. That'll get you something you can use to automatically start the game server, and be able...
Might be easier to NFS mount it? It's what I did for many years, NFS mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj, built world on a "big" machine and installed it on a "small" machine. You must make sure the time is correct on both machines though, or you'll...
The PSU for my ThinkPad W520 suddenly stopped working yesterday and am wondering what to do about it. Are they repairable or do I need to find a replacement?
It's a really big heavy PSU, a genuine Lenovo 170W 20V. Every other PSU I have is about...
I wish I had read that yesterday so that I could have tried the suggested solution just to see if it worked for me.
I remember the problem referring to libc.so.7 but don't recall if it mentioned ld-elf,so.1.
I could not find any command that...
Perhaps for GUI or TUI application to dynamically control the wpa_supplicant daemon for scan/add/update/delete password protected wifi AP.
wpa_supplicant is the daemon handling the encryption/decryption parts of the password protected wifi AP...
wpi_cli allows you to dynamically connect to the wpa_supplicant socket and control it dynamically. I.e so you don't need to terminate and restart the wpa_supplicant daemon if you want to change to a different access point.
It also can modify and...
Ok, OP only performs dry-run.
For what I experience, it definitely would print some messages informing packages are not being upgraded due to lock when run with the actual pkg-upgrade command.
Let me verify the dry run command on my setup once...
The OP says the locking does not work for him in this post, and shows what output he gets: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/i-think-that-i-have-met-my-match.102526/page-2#post-757746
If I understand correctly, you already lock the packages. I don't understand why you need to find another way to prevent the package from being upgrade which you already did. Enlighten me.
it did not, in fact, "confess" anything. it is a token-predicting chat model. it has no capacity for reasoning or ability to give a confession. you might as well say "my tarot deck confessed to me"
This might be related to the update of the nvidia-driver to version 595. This driver does not support GTX 10xx series graphics cards.
I have a similar PC on which I previously simply installed:
pkg install nvidia-driver (without specifying a...
FreeBSD15 only support wifi cards intel ax200 or ax210 series on 11ac. Other will be stuck on 11g if I am not wrong.

I use NVIDIA with "Closed source BLOB" on all my BSD & Linux installs. When you use these they are rockstable and work fine.
[Don't use Nouveau.....]
The BSD NVIDIA driver is a wrapper around something "Closed source" by NVIDIA. I had never any...
A black screen like crash-hang? Libreoffice doing a save action doesn't cause that. It has nothing to do with it.
Personally, no way I'd leave this without even getting a hint of what's going on. It's against fundamental tech geek principles.
It won't bite me. Doing this for years. The system build compiler variables have never been consistent in my opinion.
What command do I need when I copied the entire /usr/obj to another clean system tree?
(This might sound overcomplicated but...
As far as anything "official", NO_CLEAN (or any of the variations) certainly isn't recommended to do, it has a few caveats you need to be aware of. And they will bite you at some point.
A better solution, albeit not perfect, is WITH_META_MODE...
Use the existing completed results in /usr/obj.
What's the official way in FreeBSD 15 without using connfiguration files and only command parameters?
NO_CLEAN=1
WITHOUT_CLEAN=1
-DNOCLEAN
Other options involve changing make.conf or src.conf...
I have been running a vanilla minecraft server for some time, and wanted to add a mod instance. I have setup a jail for this, and within the jail, vanilla minecraft server is working in daemon mode fine. The specific mods require 1.21.1 and...
Welcome to hell. I have been working with such issues for the past 10 years. Which exact command does that? If you know which one, run: `truss -f -o cmd.out <command>`. Will will see which `fopen()` OpenSSL performs to load the certificate from a...

Hmm, considering Windows or Gnome 3 hasn't nailed this properly yet, I feel that may be out of scope for an actual desktop environment in 2026.
Perfection is the enemy of good and I am starting to suspect that Gtk3's approach can't get us there...
The error occurs when running the yarn install --production --pure-lockfile part.

The old disk was formatted with UFS, the new one with zroot.
I made a fresh install and the copied the essential stuff from /etc/, /usr/local/ and /var/ to the new installation.
My packages are build with poudriere and were all reinstalled. I...
As said before, in this situations is better BSD without Desktop Environments, no GhostBSD.
The whole is then simpler and you have more control.
It is good to learn to deal with omnipresent twm.
For some unknown reason, I'm no longer able to install any python package on my FreeBSD 15 system.

I've also been thinking about lxqt lately. It's a very lightweight KDE, not crammed with unnecessary environment configurations, modeled on lxde but based on a built/rewritten Qt.
