People will be saying the same in spaceyear 3049. It will still outlive whatever text editor is called "modern" today. I can even see this thread outliving a lot of today's text editors.

Prior to my actual problem I had the same behavior as you describe when terminating the X session. Now I see these jumbled blocks of color when trying to start up the X session. The Xorg server terminates immediately after startup.

Recently my wife and our daughter-in-law have decided to spend their entire weekends attending birthday parties for every child below the age of twelve, here in the town where we live. That wouldn't be so bad, but they expect my son and I to go...

Wasn't there a 4 panel, maybe User Friendly, about that? If you're a developer, We're compiling, a sysadmin, we're rebooting, and a couple of others. Ah, can't find it now.

What seems hard about it? Granted, everything is easy, or most things anyway, once you know how to do them, and this is apparently new to you, but this is just a matter of typing some commands. You can copy and paste them directly from the...

I just went back to the old packages from pkg quarterly and experience the same problem. Could it also be a hardware issue of the graphics card? If so, how could I check that?

This is my card configuration for Xorg Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" BusID "pci:1:0:0" Option "DPMS" EndSection which doesn't work

Ha-ha, man, that made my day! One of the funniest posts I ever read for sure, thank you for this smile on my face 😆👍

Does Flightgear count as a game?

Perhaps something like ports-mgmt/portgraph; mentioned in How can I visually view a ports dependencies? There's also ports-mgmt/pkg-graph; no experience with that.

Unfortunately building and installing from ports did not solve the problem

Where do they get all the drivers from?

It gets interesting if it works offline without closed proprietary code but I doubt it. That would make an independent OSS home AI service. Interconnect users to make it decentral.

That will be fine too. If a pkg-delete only deletes those two then nothing is actually depending on them. If you delete something and some other package has a dependency on it it would also get deleted. You can also check beforehand; pkg info -r...

If you're also distracted by the rainbow flag in the background on the FreshPorts webpage you can remove it with this custom filter for the uBlock Origin browser extension. www.freshports.org##html:remove-class(holiday)

Please stop doing that. Just create a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Nvidia" Driver "nvidia" EndSection That's it. That's all that's required. Oh, and make sure the kernel module gets...

That seems to be the correct version for that old card. Did the installer also attempt to install the NVidia DRM driver? That's likely what messed things up.

Don't know for sure, but I suspect it has to do with changes in LinuxKPI. The DRM drivers lean heavily on it.

Here's the catch - I am not a traditional KDE user. I had used KDE on some Linux distros I ran in early 00s, however WindowMaker is my thing. Also I would like people to realize I always had power to force FreeBSD at the dayjob, from my first...

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...

The original post is fine, simple trick to remove it, if you want to. I have no problems with that post. The bigotry however, not so much. And that's why this topic is now closed.

If it's the fresh installation of graphics drivers, yes. But if there're already drivers installed via pkg and try forcibly building graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod* ports alone, corresponding graphics/drm-*-kmod wouldn't be rebuilt/reinstalled...

Then you won't have build dependencies installed. Except for the things needed to build the DRM drivers. Not always, for example, there are 185 ports having a build dependency on LLVM19 but only 85 have it as a library dependency. It can get a...

No. I install packages (except drm-*) so build dependencies shouldn’t matter. You need version dependent shared libs at runtime. I suppose I can force install pkgs dependent on older llvms but in the hope pkg builder machines are updated but I...

What version of FreeBSD?

IPFW is one of the firewalls that has been available in FreeBSD for over twenty years. Perhaps not as well known as PF (Packet Filter, of OpenBSD fame), IPFW is nevertheless a very capable network firewall. This book length primer will teach...

Aren't they just build dependencies? Does pkg autoremove remove them?

Copy/paste error to the forums? Or is it really missing the 'l'?

UPDATE: Yesterday I reinstalled all ports to update the database of pkg (2129 ports) all went ok. I restored XFCE Whisker Menu, it was gone for I do not know the reason. Now seems all works as before. I checked the Windows disks (where the VM...

It's more common for Sunflowers to be associated with neurodivergance and autism awareness month wasn't that long ago. But, I guess it is a symbol for Ukraine as well and presumably for longer.

Agreed. If Dan puts a rainbow on his site, let him. Should he remove it one day, let him. Why is this even a thing? Personally I, and we collectively, have a lot better things to worry about than web site decorations.

It's not being catered to. It's finding the needs and wants of the majority. If one behaves differently than the rest they will be treated differently. If one wants to fit in, one needs to find the norm of the majority.

I couldn't care less about people's sexual preference, but I'm against using this as massive flag to pull attention in public, all about this preference, like it's the primary life goal. That's just cultural decline to the primitive. They have...

I could not care less.

I would mind. It has no place being on a technical website. Why can't we have a 'straight month' flag instead? My 2c.

Thanks, I just assumed that if I built the nvidia kmod it would pull in drm-66 if needed. I just learned somethng.

In this specific upgrades, don't! This is because this specific upgrade is for security fix. As already pointed out by scottro, try building from ports (at least x11/nvidia-kmod-580 and graphics/nvidia-drm-66-kmod-580 locally would be worth...
