I had one laptop that was using freebsd-update rather than pkg base. I attempted an upgrade, trying to do what I did on a vm, go to rc3 then to release, but after the upgrade it kept going back to the boot menu. So, as I had the time, used the...

Chances are that it will work.

It might be more straightforward to make MIDI knobs work.

It's really important. 😎 Anybody managed to fetch all the lang/rust dependencies on 15.1 with the RELEASE portstree?

I had never even come across tethering USB 8 years ago.

Great more AI bullshit, I wonder why having a full AI written post could be allowed in this forums in the first place. Really funny that it talks about setgid thingies when we do have a mac based non setgid sudo alternative that is called mdo...

what about a devd.conf /usr/local/etc/devd.conf this is what i use for my keyboard i guess you could do the same thing to run dhclient ue0 https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?devd.conf...

Is there any way to automate running dhclient ue0 when connecting a phone to a computer and enabling tethering USB?

Ok, upgraded to 15.1-RELEASE, upgraded all packages too, and now SDDM doesn't want to start the Wayland session; BUT it works flawlessly from command line with the same command used by SDDM: /usr/local/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session...

Building 15.1 from anonymous ftp freebsd.org I had to disable VIA padlock RNG in RC2. No idea what that is. See it if compiles now.

No, you read bit wrong, these were no straight lines. I don't care about straight lines, the air traffic exists in the area. Imagine raising a big drone with bright light to airliner altitude and then doing a circle of lets say 500m radius. The...

drhowarddrfine official release isn't till the 16th, or at least planned for then. What I think @fjdir did was upgrade to RC's, then if you ran pkg upgrade on the RC, you wound up with 15.1-RELEASE. I have a vm I've been updating to RC's and...

None of these points are novel. None pose an immediate threat, it is mostly "mitigations and defensive programming could be better".

Hello, I’m running the latest Firefox pkg on FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE and I was wondering about GPU acceleration. I’m using an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U CPU with Radeon 780M Graphics. X11 and XFCE4 as desktop GUI. Here is a part of Firefox’s about:support...

Having access tp all bytes because it's your computer isn't "memory unsafe" but a functionality. It's called RAM for a reason. Root can overwrite the kernel runtime code and crash the machine. It's a normal thing.

Since this is related to the use of KDE with Wayland (I don't recall this problem with the X session), I'm leaving it here just in case someone else is bugged by this: To better match GTK decoration buttons with KDE ones when using CSD (client...

CShell I don't think so, so let's not go there.

I believe it too stupid. Rust should be stabilized that assures 100% backward compatibilities first, and defaulting to CDYLIB instead of current binding-unfriendly defaults. Everything should start from there. Not earlier. Presumablly...

Kernel panic page fault trap 14 I don't see this on the official release page yet.

To show an example of how AI can't be trusted: Most major OS kernels are written primarily in C: Linux, the BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD), Windows NT kernel (C with some C++), XNU (Darwin/macOS, a mix of C and C++)

Folks, tl;dr Please comment / upvote / ask where this is on https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/30640 where FreeBSD is currently a 0 class citizen for their installer. I use Claude Code and it has helped me reduce toil and learn...

Thanks for being the tester. :)

It does look useful. I read that it is based on the extensive hardware knowledge of the AIDA64 for Windows application. Is there a FreeBSD version?

As I said earlier, if the web page does not specify a font name then the browser will use the system font or font specified in the user's browser settings. This is ideal in a lot of settings and becoming popular among some web sites but marketing...

I can now confirm that this driver is working flawlessly once you get it installed. I tested several OpenGL and Vulkan games and everything just works. Performance is amazing. Everything is smooth and fast. Since i bough this damn AMD card, i was...

I suggest installing the following font meta-package: x11-fonts/webfonts It's a collection of common web fonts, and IIRC it changed how this forum looked. HTH,

It was admittedly sloppy wording on my side. 1) The web developer should be dictating generic family names in their html/css (not specific font names) 2) The web browser should then read these generic family names and requesting an appropriate...

I think I read somewhere that dogs with floppy ears are that way for two reasons. Firstly, wolf pups have floppy ears and it's a sign of keeping themselves immature, a sign on neotony, the retaining of infantile character traits. I also think...

That's the UI icons font. Supposedly, many sites use FontAwesome for that, but I can't get Firefox to pick up that font locally. The browser should look for the font locally, if it can't pull it from the remote location, but I think there are...

All you need to see is, that there is no direct connection between the battery, or the charger and USB. So, USB does not know, what state the battery is. That's done over the fuel gauge and the motherboards power management IC which state...
