Thanks for the hints. For clarity I edited the original post accordingly.

One comment... you say 'a' (that you're only using -nf, only to show us something else ;) For those of us who don't know those parameters from mind it could be another possible cause. Also: which version of FreeBSD are you using? Because if...

Found a solution but forgot to post it; The problem is in the network adapter drivers. If you're running realtek-re-kmod, you must initialize the driver as follows: ifconfig_re0="-rxcsum -txcsum -rxcsum6 -txcsum6 DHCP" Checksum offloading to...

When checking our vmx0 on our VMware instance with # ifconfig , it shows support for both TSO4 and TSO6, making it possible to enable kTLS, right? When running # sysctl kern.ipc.tls.stats I'm getting: kern.ipc.tls.stats.ocf.retries: 0...

You don't want to block log all. Every packet is going to hit it, including the stuff you allow later on in the rule set.

Hey all I somehow fail to write basic firewall rules for my system. When I run pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf it fails with an error: # pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf pfctl: Failed to open netlink: Bad file descriptor If I try to ask for more debug output, I...

Necroposting because Google search results brought me here. It looks like what you were looking for was compose:menu. You can get all the possible values for the compose key by running grep compose /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst.

Of course, DistroWatch is only a small window into reality, but cheating doesn't last in the long run; if you smooth the curves, it disappears completely.

In fairness, it was one person who posted a thread like let's all do this on distrowatch, and several people said, no that's a bad idea, not least because someone will mention it elsewhere and give <distro> a bad name.

So is it PA or PW that you expect to start in your config?

Who's the audience that article is for? Microsoft has official notes with the same text and descriptions, officially. I install updates and don't expect breaking changes and don't read notes :p If I needed deeper info, MDL/etc has actual people...

It was for me with Intel UHD 630 :D (fastfetch; did pkg remove xorg, installed xlibre's server pkg, and xlibre's evdev for mouse; Xfce started no problem like nothing was different)

I installed it and ran it with the default twm. But where's the project code? X11R6 and X.org already existed... The source code of the project itself without the dependencies. I think there's nothing and they only changed the former X11R6 file-...

Slack is still around??!!!

Has anyone posted the obligatory xkcd strip yet. If so, apologies. https://m.xkcd.com/1782/ I suspect the strip was drawn before 2018, when slack made it impossible to use with irssi. As mentioned above, for awhile, there was an irssi...

xlibre has a number of developers working on it (more than most Wayland projects). One of them is stefan11111 who has in the past done some great work at cleaning up fundamental libraries (i.e gtk+2). Speaking of which, there is even more...

For the sake of experiment, I also tried from my laptop with OpenBSD installed which I also connected as VLAN 10 through that router I have on that LAN. Same as VM guest -- OpenBSD set "tagged 10" host tap1 interface to VLAN 10 on its side. No...

There's nothing about it to be bad because it's XFree86. Ever used it? The project doesn't contain anything.

I never believe any politician's intention is good. For them, everything is just a means to secure their power or obtain more.

This dude is promoting an XFree86 mod for the alt-right camp, pretending it competes with X.org but it barely contains anything. Spreading right wing bs is the only goal of the project. Xlibre isn't anything. Nothing is developed. Looking at...

Only a simple router, nothing else. The output: $sudo tcpdump -vnei igb1 arp or icmp tcpdump: listening on igb1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes 0 packets captured 118 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by...

Now AlfredoLlaquet, you're being obtuse. Among other things, he's an anti-vaxxer which should make you wonder about his critical thinking skills. So, it might affect the quality of his software. It defintely makes me feel suspicious when he says...

It's not a scam in the sense that you're getting ripped off. Enrico Weigelt, the maintainer, is just a total asshole with a weird worldview. I like ghosts.

It is still very likely on point. There is almost zero chance that Slack will be around by 2051.

It seems to be anti DEI Irrelevant people. 😆

I attached a C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller, but not sure if if needs any drivers or how to use it. Anyone know?

I only just heard of HarmonyOS today. Anyone come across it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HarmonyOS

I have the idea it's an old X11R6 rip-off. The xlibre package itself contains only documents. It's xlibre-server and the basic I/O drivers. Apart from manpages and docs, I estimate there are 20 actually related files. Also searched for it on...

I do vaguely remember some distribution or another, putting on their forums, something like, everyone go to to distrowatch and do something to increase that distribution's popularity. That was a long time ago, but I'm sure it still occurs. I can...

Do I need to install any sound drivers to make this work?

I wish I understood a word of all that! Maybe I need a whole load more brain cells....

Perhaps debate has more to offer than direct vote count. There could be a true or informational statement, or valid opinion from a minority of OS users, and vote count in favor of a highly popular OS doesn't make that less true.

No, I blame the anonymous lamers who abuse proxies to fsck with the comments, ratings, views, etc. @ sidetone, [...]"Though, much of the clicks are genuine, bc actual people who are interested in OS's, including BSD go there." Views are easily...

A percentage of ratings are genuine. There are trolls who artificially lower ratings of comments, and who inflate value of their os. It could also be for a particular flavor of Linux, which maybe some are helping for it to survive. Also, those...

Neither. Its not a distribution but an entire OS. It holds all the cards and can't be pulled around by all the little projects that make it up. However, smaller distributions (like GhostBSD) can certainly be made from it.

I'm running , FreeBSD (rc) , Redcore-linux (openrc), Artix-linux (openrc). All are more or less the same "init" starts very simple "rc" scripts. Systemd is a compeletely very different beasts. It integrated with everything, requires libsystemd...

You mean like we spoke at home when I was a kid. We blended German and English in our sentences at home. Today when I call my 102 yo mom we still speak like that.

Ping! Anyone using Fuguita currently? I decided to ask here rather than start a new thread for it. It looks good for an OpenBSD LIveCD/USB. There is even a 'demo' on installing desktop environment(s) though I don' t know too much about it. I...

As Steve Gibson on Security Now put it, little do lawmakers realize that they're opening up a significant surveillance opportunity.

vm uses cu for this. Hit enter a couple of times, then ~^D or ~. ~^D or ~. Drop the connection and exit. Only the connection is dropped – the login session is not terminated. That's the correct key combination...

Did that on a system without packages. It has 189 dependencies. The only difference I see instantly is the package naming. The Xorg process is just running. It seems to run on a legacy graphics driver wthout kms kernel module. It's too fast at...
