Well, I guess it is gone. It no more starts. No way to restart it with old kernel and with saved BE, in single user mode, no way. It freeze with this screen, no access with SSH

Plasma-session will stop supporting X11 altogether next year, per roadmap if I saw correctly. Some Linux distributions are slated to support X11 to 2030 so I guess the last X11-Plasma will be sort of LTS edition. I would not mind if KDE stays on...

The power went out while I was updating the ports on a VM: # uname -a FreeBSD iantomarus 15.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p9 GENERIC amd64 # zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT zroot...

Not sure how to re-program a knob like that, but when I made a Sound Voltex controller the encoder knobs showed under HID with an Arduino board: https://i.imgur.com/ibTtQBz.mp4 Iirc that HID app worked on Linux through Wine. I'm thinking the...

JWM: You are not wrong. It's basically an old school X window manager that you configure through modifying it's config file and .Xresources, .xinitrc, etc. Sure, it's not as easy as a built-in "preferences/settings" widget, but I think for...

set block-policy return Don't do this. This will send out ICMP port unreachable packets in response to closed UDP ports. Just drop the traffic (default). return A TCP RST is returned for blocked TCP packets, an SCTP...

Where exactly is the “flavors” feature documented? I mean, for a user, not for a ports developer. We now have that feature for almost 10 years, but the documentation is still very good at hiding it from users … The respective chapter in the...

Nope. Your incoming SSH connection is still getting blocked. Last matching rule wins, which is the block in all.

Also (just in case): can you be sure that your kernel is indeed installed in /boot/kernel? Try this: strings /boot/kernel/kernel |grep -E '^ident'

My ctwm is currently at 3 MB. This is with a few xterms and firefox with 20 tabs, distributed across 4×2 virtual desktops, each at 2560×1440 px resolution).

What's in /boot/loader.conf?

Floppy disk boxes! Just like as parents, kids and even teachers were told those crappy BASIC on homecomputer's ROM was good to learn computering, it was the marketing concept from the 80s and early 90s to bring computers into private households...

I totally second that.

Could you please post your kernel config? I believe it shows GENERIC because according to the title of your post, your new kernel refuses to boot (I don't know what it means exactly), and thus, if you managed to boot in and check the system...

Doing yoga with llamas is becoming a thing over here. They do the yoga in the field and the llamas wander around amongst them. The kids seem to like the llamas, anyway. I'm not sure what the llamas make of it! It's frothy, man....

pkg-descr of py311-setuptools_scm7: Handles managing your python package versions in scm metadata instead of declaring them as the version argument or in a scm managed file Is this some sort of python insider war?

Found the problem: Had to deinstall py311-setuptools_scm7-7.1.0 because it covers files that don't comply with this qemu version. It expects a 9.* version. This was 5 build errors deep. I have no idea what the port does. It now does something...

You need to drop root after the cpuset system call. As you say, it is probably quickest to write a little C program.

The portstree can temporarily lose track of dependencies? That would conclude that I have to keep on updating it and wait until a moment where a 10-hour build finished without problems. That's not fair. 😫 I thought I solved it but it happens...

Your remark is valid since cpuset can spawn root processes. Possibly I need to write setuid tool that will do just what I want.

What are your autoexec.bat contents then? :)

Anyone with my account is me.

Could you list the output of ls -la /dev/dri/card*? I believe there is card0, which points to GPU 0, and card1, which points to GPU 1. Try swapping them so that card0 → 1 and card1 → 0.I used this trick yesterday to get Wayland running on the...

DoctorRainer As others said before: The problem is the RX 9070. It is to new. Have a look at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/amd-gpu-support-matrix.102822/. As you find out, your iGPU works. I have the successor AMD 9700X running only with...

making it setuid means that it runs the resultant processes as root. bad idea. anyone with your account could escalate to root by doing cpuset sh.

The old family shared PC concept is such a cozy idea. The user-centric software, the cheesy mouse themes, the fun little icons, the rich wooden desk and CD trays. There is something there that computing lost along the way. I just can't quite...

But if you're going to use Windows on your home computer, then you are going to have to learn how to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system at least once a week. At least, that is the way it was during the mid 1990s. 🤣 Here is...

I have scenarios where I have to run cpuset to free certain core(s) and then schedule a process to run there. As someone that doesn't use sudo or doas, intentionally not having auto-escalation abilities for the wheel user, I had been pondering...

As a workaround for the lack of native support at the moment, and the manual setup/management required was annoying me, I've knocked up a shell script to manage Claude Code running under Linuxulator, tested on arm64 and aarch64 (under QEMU, not...

It is reasonably well maintained now. 51 commits in the past year.

Lets hope they keep it up. Unfortunately large compat layers do need the work.

Today I committed BunkerWeb to the FreeBSD Ports Collection. https://github.com/bunkerity/bunkerweb BunkerWeb is an open-source web application firewall (WAF) and security platform with a web UI. I've tested the port extensively, but one...

The closest clone to acme is edwood. It is cross platform and can be compiled to avoid p9p entirely. But being in Go it is about 10 times larger than acme. There are other clones but I stick to acme! Plus I find most commands in p9p useful.

plan9port is a compat layer as mentioned. Its considerable just to maintain a text editor. It is similar to how git on Windows requires an entire POSIX compat later (cygwin-based msys2). This is not an ideal approach to porting software. The...

Why? Acme in plan9port is working. No emulation.

In situations like these you can always "go to the source", aka the man command itself. Try this: man -K hostcache. Will take longer, but it'll also find what you need. I don't have an explanation just yet, but whenever a search fails I always...

Thanks T-Daemon. Kick-ass answer. I searched around a bit but could not find the answer: you wouldn't happen to know if you can tell makewhatis to index macros other than Nm and Nd?
