"zpool scrub", I have to read manpage, I'm totally ignorant about ZFS. Well I will try all tomorrow in late afternoon. Many thanks bakul.

There is no a single system command to maintain ports. The 'port system' is based on makefiles, make is the command that maintain ports. There are some ports that maintain them, I recommend ports-mgmt/portmaster: portmaster -af is the equivalent...

I don't bother.

I have kde6 running on Wayland on ThinkPad Yoga, intel graphic card without problem. I like my experience so far better than with Xorg

Wait, I turned off the machine and turned off my brain too (swearing enough) to go to dinner. I rebooted the machine (Windows) started the VM (VirtualBox) and FreeBSD boot normally, maybe the problem was in the host too. It was a very short...

LibreQuest there is a screenshot of my Plasma desktop in the screenshot thread, from FreeBSD 14.x. I have FreeBSD 15 now, and it wasn't an upgrade, it was fresh pkgbase install. I just restored my home dir, and packages, and I have the same desktop.

I don't understand all the KDE hate outside of this X11 support dropping thing. KDE is directly influenced by CDE. When CDE was prescribed for UNIX 98 standard, it was by no means lightweight, efficient or optimal. The UI shell of Mac OS or...

usable screenshot utilities, native file managers, usable window decorations, and a ton of utilities (like Okular). If I'm forced to use TWM/ctwm, it's not that different from dropping into command-line. Ricing a basic X window manager like TWM...

Alexander88207 is the perfect person to ask. The latest Mizuma doesn't like Steam with the latest wine. Epic games and GOG work though.

Can regular GUI Steam load in Wine? I ran Dota 2 on FreeBSD with SteamCMD and wine-devel (no Proton/Linuxulator), but SteamCMD didn't authenticate with Steam APIs or something (no official multiplayer/rank); but I'm thinking if regular Steam can...

I'm curious about this; on 16.0-CURRENT a few days ago I could have a wpa_supplicant with no mention of a key_mgmt=NONE entry, and still get auto-connected to a nearby open xfinitywifi AP. ee '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' network={ ssid="Main...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. From April 24–26, the FreeBSD community held its first regional hackathon in the Frankfurt area (Germany). The three-day event brought together 25 attendees, including seasoned project...

Old info (2025), and it's not even FreeBSD-related. And works fine on FreeBSD's Plasma 6 Wayland these days if you install up-to-date stuff. Seems like Linux still has that issue unresolved. 😏

xfce4-screenshooter-plugin works no config out-the-box with Print Screen key with basic Xfce :D I'm thinking that's a Wayland invention (reports about inconsistent copy/paste on Plasma 6, and I've seen it GNOME; apparently I copy/paste faster...

The loader menu, not the installer. This thing: https://docs-archive.freebsd.org/doc/13.0-RELEASE/usr/local/share/doc/freebsd/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/bsdinstall-newboot-loader-menu.png

My god, this is the most hidden setting in the history of mankind and universe. The default sound is amazing for the headphones but not for my laptop speakers. Laptop speakers get major distortion at higher volume. I think the equalizer is what...

I'd probably turn it off if I saw EQ on :p But that looks like an interesting option. My laptop speakers sound ok every OS without EQ, but Waves MaxxAudio on Windows kind-of cleans it up (more treble/less bass; messes with niche stuff a little...

Default for whom, FreeBSD or KDE? The things on the Kicad link cannot be solved, they are design issues.

Wayland SHALL resolve at least below before becoming default: Sane IM Engines support at worst as the level of X11, INDEPENDENT WITH COMPOSITOR. Compositor-specific configs are NOT acceptable. The worst level should be per-toolkits (i.e., Gtk...

I seem to have only 4 top-level kde ports installed. Will these continue working if KDE no longer supports Xorg, I wonder ?? [ Just saw a thread on news.ycombinator.com about the looming Xorg>Wayland KDE switch which echoed some of the concerns...

I remember using a PS/2 model 80 to run OS/2. It had a full graphical desktop, all kinds of software ran on it, editors, compilers, word processor, graphics, tcp/ip, etc.. It ran on a 386 cpu and had 8 MB RAM. My memory told me it had a 486...

A typical POST on a decent server with a big HBA or RAID card will take a lot longer than those 4-5 seconds you gained by adjusting the boot timer 😁 It'll help on a typical VM though, those things (re)boot fast.

We had more ability to travel to the West, so it was easy to smuggle in computers, few companies had license deals with DEC and Honeywell-Bull, and we were better at stealing – even our school computer TIM011 was actually copy of Steve Ciarcia's...

Most of my systems run a -RELEASE with the GENERIC kernel, easy to update with freebsd-upgrade. I do have a few systems running -STABLE with a custom kernel, but I rarely mess those up, and I'm capable enough to recover if I do. Those 5-nines...

Don't think so. loader has just enough logic to read a filesystem, but that's about it. Maybe it's stored in an efivar?

The "beasty" menu allows you to select the kernel, did you select kernel.generic there perhaps?

I moved from USB to PCI interface and crackling is completely gone. Under all conditions. Before with sole Focusrite + nvidia crackling would be worse as uaudio and main latency was lowered. But it did not happen with Jack and Jack apps. E.g...

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...

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...
