I want to know how long the system will last on a full battery.

Replace /sbin/shutdown with a script that writes the uptime to a file and then run the real shutdown command.

As it's only a couple of ports (and I'm lazy---and, it doesn't take long to build), I've never looked into poudreiere for it. Also, it's always something I find out I need after I need it. :), that is, I either don't notice there was an nvidia...

I had been create 15.1-RELEASE jail with identical JAILNAME(epopenXcom), I assume this action don't touch up to date ports.:-/ But ports-mgmt/poudriere detected this change unexpectedly and replied me as follows.🙃 [00:03:46] newer version of...

Replace /sbin/shutdown with a script that writes the uptime to a file and then run the real shutdown command.

Why do you care so much about uptime? The datetime stamps in /var/log/messages will tell you when the system started shutting down, assuming it does a 'proper' shutdown, not an instant off kind of thing.

Deleting and recreating with the new version might be quicker.

Sorry about the old post. Addition to the ITU information, there is a RFC 20, URL https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc20: "FS (File Separator), GS (Group Separator), RS (Record Separator), and US (Unit Separator): These information...

Is there any way to record uptime when a system shuts down when the battery runs out of power?

We can also check from here: https://ventoy.net/en/distro_iso/freebsd.html Unfortunately no one reported there with 15.1 yet.

I used the full DVD ISO, and it booted and installed perfectly. If one works, there is at least a decent chance they all will, I would think.

Good question IMO. Ok... ZFS is - as I like to call it - an "evolving filesystem", meaning so much that new features get added to the system as time goes by. But as you can imagine: those new features in the core mechanics don't "magically"...

You'r being asked, if you want to upgrade your pools, resp. zpool status says, the pool(s) shall be upgraded. If you do so or not depends on you. Recommendation is not to upgrade ZFS pools unless you really have to (while it's still a puzzler to...

Because you did it yourself. The upgrade process isn't going to do it for you.

I think "zpool upgrade" is distinct from "kernel bits going to a newer version of ZFS". The zpool upgrade specifically tells the on disk stuff what features are supported. If you don't need a new feature, you don't need to upgrade. I think...

That's exactly what I meant. But I couldn't remember what the text in zpool status says exactly. Anyway I find it somehow not proper to read that text everytime when I look at my pools. Anyhow delivers an urge to update.

Unless you type zpool upgrade, your pool isn't upgraded. It's as simple as that. Anyway, I advise to systematically upgrade the loaders after an OS upgrade. Moreover, there is an amazing software that does this for you. ;)

Never upgrade your zpools. If there really is a new feature you want, do it step-by-step. Update bootloader, try bootloader, consider other OSes which you might want to access this pool etc.

For the record: sysutils/loaders-update

Thank's everyone! Such a great forum this is. You guys are amazing, using your time and energy to help, sharing your knowledge and expertise. Since I haven't updated anything, I guess I can omit the bootstrap upgrade part of the upgrade docs...

It looks like I can start up my W520 if I leave on charge for some time so I can use it temporarily although I don't know for how long. I assume that the charging light will turn green when fully charged. If it does I'll see how long it will run...

I know the thread has been marked as 'solved' already, but... I'm in "that" mood right now so I'm happily going to ignore all that ;) Welcome aboard! I hope you're going to have a lot of fun with FreeBSD. First of all I'd like to compliment...

Stay away from Reddit. You’re compounding a common error here. This has nothing to do with FreeBSD kernel development and system security.

Sometimes this drm kmod stuff reminds me of the guy being asked, "Which way did they go?" and he crosses his arms pointing two opposite directions saying, "They went thataway!"

No, the ABI didn't change (that's a userspace thing). The kernel's LinuxKPI compatibility changed, and the Intel/AMD/NVidia DRM drivers depend on those LinuxKPI kernel features. A DRM kernel driver module built for 15.0 will absolutely crash the...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried usng a 90W but my W520 would not start up, however, I just noticed that the charging light is flashing so I'll leave it for a couple of hours and see if it gets charged up.

The iwlwifi driver requires firmware from ports/net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod. This firmware package will be installed automatically with fwget(8) if the appropriate hardware is detected at installation or runtime. Think you...

Never, EVER reference ANYTHING from Reddit. You become a lost soul.

You told it to stop (local-unbound-control stop) and you're wondering why it stopped working? If you want to restart the service (because you changed some parameters for example); service local_unbound restart

You can, but shouldn't. Both need to be on quarterly or both on latest. They are kernel modules from the ports tree. The base OS kernel modules get upgraded when you upgrade the base OS, thus they should all line up perfectly (15.1 modules for a...

People say to use drm-66-kmod but I installed drm-latest-kmod and it works but I've pulled my nvidia card (unrelated to this) and it runs fine on Intel i7 processor. I also uninstalled the kmod before upgrading and then reinstalled it after.

Some of the older Nvidia drivers might disappear though, the 304 version for example has been broken for many years due to changes in Xserver. The 340 version appears to have broken recently too, also due to changes in Xserver. Eventually those...

victort Same thing. Not to harp on you but sometimes I see people online ask, when the power goes out, "How long will it take to fix it?". How the heck does anyone know till they get there to look at it?! How long will that take? What if they're...

Should I be able to reproduce this on FreeBSD? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAiGlIJdhbw&t=8s

It looks like a genuine Lenovo part.

In that case, it's very odd. Something is not working the way it's supposed to. I'm sure there's a reason, but it's beyond my (limited) knowledge. Sorry to have wasted your time with bad guesses. If you do decide to switch to pkgbase, you...

The 'regular' NVidia driver typically doesn't depend on kernel functions that change, so they often "just work". Things get a lot more hairy if you use the NVidia-DRM drivers, similar to the Intel/AMD DRM drivers, those depend on LinuxKPI in the...

Fighting all night with drm-kmod I was finally being able to have 15.1 running on a Thinkpad P53. I disabled hybrid graphics and using nvidia only.

Deleting and recreating with the new version might be quicker.

Can't access those log files without providing a client certificate.

Probably because it has a valid client certificate to authenticate with :D Yes, now I can access them 👍

Oh, I think I see what's wrong. Your host OS is 15.1, your poudriere jail probably is 15.0. What does poudriere jail -l show?

Only as long as they stay dreams, only. History is full of dreams. Some even had fanatic followers. Dreams come from drug abusage, mental desease or at best are just mental garbage disposal. They can give clues about a persons mental state, but...

For userland, yes. For kernel modules, no. More often than not kernel modules built for 15.0 will crash and burn when loaded on a 15.1 kernel. Which is why there's now a FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository. I simply create a new jail and a whole new...

Ouch! you are correct, I didn't notice it! 😅 Look like jail update even minor version updates😆 I will update jail to try again. Previous, kind of problem occurred with other ports(without kernel version like this case) in 15.0-RELEASE base...

Ok, that means, as far as I can tell, that somewhere along the way, you switched to pkgbase and forgot. Maybe you ran pkgbase.lua at some point. At any rate, going by *my* experience, which may be different, you should now have...
