Anyone? Please 🙏 Still can't get it to work, and have no idea why.

Wrong. Mullvad supports Monero payments and there is no KYC bullshit. With Nord you can get your own public IP and you wont be identified as a VPN user "by the internet services". If the privacy is your goal, dont bother with VPNs.

Dont use free VPN unless you want your data stolen. Use paid service like Proton or Mullvad. They both support WireGuard which works without any issues under FreeBSD. But i would recommend you get a router that supports WireGuard and run your VPN...

If you mean open-gpu-kernel-modules by NVIDIA, it's only for Turing and later generations of architectures GPUs that have GSP (GPU System Processor) in them. And as far as I could hear from upstream devs, even if we add and fit FreeBSD specific...

Oh, apologies, I did mean the upstream kernel drivers (nouveau). Admittedly, confused further by me later mentioning upstream nvidia drivers (proprietary). Good point though, I completely forgot about Nvidia's open-source ones. But yeah, you are...

It doesn't matter. If it works on your machine and doesn't cause you any issues then just use it. You just won't be able to upgrade it using port or packages through FreeBSD repositories. If you can get the source, then later on you might be able...

I've looked into the open source driver option they have limitations in video playback. There's a similar event happened during the black screen recovering with my desktop pop up saying it's falling back to software rendering due to unsupported...

It must have changed. I used this in "production" on a HP SFF dual core. I don't have such PC anymore so I can't test it but I can find my installation code. It depends on: emulators/linux_base-c7 x11/linux-c7-xorg-libs x11/nvidia-kmod-340...

You should practice by making a port for a simple to integrate program. Something that uses GNU autoconf and make. Linux binary ports are advanced usage of ports.

Yeah, but some of that is buffered when you recompile the driver. FreeBSD with its compiled drivers is in much better shape that OSes that only have binary drivers and don't recompile.

You just gave an example of why training/practice in prompt engineering is useful. It is pretty common that when you can't get an answer to a question directly that you can get that answer via the back door. That is just a fundamental property of...

That GPU (and brand) is probably hit by the slightly awkward Xorg user-space drivers being replaced by DRM/modesetting in the last decade. If it wasn't for this, they *might* have been maintained better. Out of interest, have you tried with...

Base from my investigation it seems to be an driver frozen in time while the modern environment continues to evolve leading to strange behaviors as Xorg log indicates.

Indeed. Anything can (and will) break. But if it can surpass our own lifespan, then that is basically problem solved. Speaking of which, I just replaced a few capacitors in my Geforce 4 4800ti. That would be the first thing I would check if the...

Software should be removed when there is something wrong with it, not just because it is inactive upstream. There is such a thing as finished software that just runs indefinitely.

In NYC I am more concerned about the Kamikaze drivers weaving in and out of lanes at 100 mph. I actually consider it a good thing to have a slight traffic jam around Manhattan when I drive from Philly to Boston.

What about freebsd removing the driver from the port collection?

Those Macs were prone to hardware failure wrt their GPUs.

Thanks, it almost works: root@vps:~ # pkg remove -y FreeBSD-set-lib32 Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) The following package(s) are locked or vital and may not be removed: FreeBSD-set-lib32 (vital) root@vps:~ # pkg set -v 0...

I ain't sure what you get with that command line. For 32-bits libs, try pkg delete FreeBSD-set-lib32 See https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgbase and pkgbase.

Nothing is too old, that's just clever marketing. I still maintain a couple of Windows 98 machines to use a certain hardware debug probe as part of my work. The trick is to jump off the treadmill of "the very latest software" and instead choose...

Hi, I just ordered a VPS (OVH) with version 15.0. The system is installed via pkgbase, but there are a lot of things I don't need installed by default. To save some space, I'm trying to remove, among other things, all 32-bit libraries: pkg info...

It's too old when it doesn't work anymore or interferes with your work. Otherwise it's fine and you can continue to use it till the cows come home.

fernandel You should always update all your packages when doing minor and major version upgrades.

I came to this question with my iMac running a Geforce 9400M showing sign temporary freezes with a screen blackout then recovering. Since the driver is not maintained has anyone also using unsupported driver on your PC and workarounds to keep it...

I've recently updated Firefox 151.0.3 -> Firefox 152.0. Well, that was done as part of pkg upgrade -f, so I think gtk might be updated as well, but I didn't pay attention to that then. Before the update (literally yesterday), when I'm...

From almost a year now, amd64 FreeBSD now supports installation on devices with 32bit UEFI! So maybe this thread becomes interesting again?

When I think to something different of Linux I think to the BSD and FreeBSD. When I think to an alternative to Systemd I think to the way that FreeBSD manage the services. These are the two main reasons why I use FreeBSD. I am retired and have...

No need to delete the pkg, just comment out the line. Pkg upgrade after freebsd-update will pull in the relevent new version.

That didn't change anything. I suspect you did freebsd-update install, then rebooted. Boot to single user mode, disable kld_list in rc.conf. Reboot and continue with the upgrade. Your DRM driver is the one that's crashing the system, it was...

Does adding below in your /etc/sysctl.conf and try-and-erro which one to uncomment helps? Default should be 12 now. Note that for testing, invoking sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=(your choice) as root (whichever su to root, sudo or doas would be OK...

Note that, for example, my Elecom HUGE Plus trackball doesn't work on xorg (xlibre is untested) with kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12, while works with kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=13 (additionally enable bit0 to enable sysmouse events to be picked). Most...

Thank you for all your answers. Absolutely there is no reasoning why freebsd-update shouldn't become a script that automates the pkgbase update cycle. I have these on my system since my nvidia has recently become legacy...

I have Xfce4, which is running very well and a few things I like to have on my computer. Boinc projects, some smart ass comments and nifty graphics :)

It is a LTE router, it mentions an IP of the provider, is it forwarding it? And why is unbound (more or less) working if it gives false DNS servers for root? How do I test if it is hijacking? Who, the router or the mobile internet provider...
