Maturin, growing up in the 60's and 70's and in my 20's during the 80's I remember a lot of them, singing some of them to various girlfriends, and the like. Thanks for the reminders.

Friday is party time. My parties have been in the 80s in 90s. So if you like to join we do a time travel. Fourty years back. We start slowly Phil Collins - In The Air Tonigh Now a bit power with a tribute to Dusty Hill ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man...

I think, without pretending I can read fjdlr's mind he's trying to make it clearer what is happening. Last time, 14-15 was a little tricky because some keys were wrong so one had to edit the pkg keys url, but I think that was just because at the...

Still not finding the true dependencies of Qemu 11. Current compiler error in red: (I got here a few times but I don't know what's the problem) File...

OK, hostapd + FreeRadius don't work with wlan0 integrated into vlanfilter bridge. Radiusd isn't getting any requests from hostapd on 127.0.0.1. And hostapd... I've NO idea! It usually either works or it idoesn't - no more comments. Says AP...

Lol, it's even more complicated than he thought and far more complicated than needed. There are easiest ways to upgrade without risk with pkgbase. But, it's better to wait for official upgrade instructions. I think that soon or late, there will...

It's still not that bad, you can compile some huge (or just fairly big) piece of software once and record the whole process with script. When it's done, you can playback the terminal session with script again - you will have the "really busy...

Eventually I received guidance! I am almost there to submit the new set of patches. Perhaps this time it will be the good one! 🤞🤞🤞

I turn off MYSQL whenever possible after bitten at "to 80" transitions. And akonadi seems to work with PGSQL, as ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/* were automatically re-created when I've deleted the directory on upgrading PGSQL.

Just came up with even shorter version of this: tar cJvf /dev/null ~ 😁

I personally disagree that it's friendly, but lets put that aside for now. The issue is explicitly tying to systemd. Systemd does not run on FreeBSD (and hopefully never will) That means porting versions that require systemd need to patch...

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...

So maybe don't use KDE? Honest question, what does it really bring to the table that ctwm, jwm, twm, etc don't?

This of course is one way to do it. And this one also could be answered with an according xkcd Just start to compile some large ports. Looks also very busy. 😁

Usenet! Too lazy to search for it.

I'm pretty sure because teletype machines and other line printers didn't have anything but caps. I used the ADM back in the day but I don't recall if the screen was all caps or not.

The alternative is to learn ~4 different IDEs for different platforms and languages? No thanks. Sure, Vi and Vim is outright weird for people having to learn it but that will carry on being the case into the future. Our great, great, great...

Vi and Vim use curses. Its ed (or ex) that you would likely need to be using for your ancient 80x25 hardware terminal. The main use-case for efficient curses editors like Vi is via serial/tty (still common for servers). The baud rate is often...

I found it amusing when the Reddit Moderator Guy tried to put in a PR to change the FreeBSD shell default editor to easy-editor from vi. I long ago learned a saying. Respect your elders. It's like people moving into the country and demand they...

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.

straight people, i don't know if you've noticed this, are catered to in basically every aspect of society and are not an oppressed minority. hth

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...
