I see that I can still use --exit-with-session with the Wayland dwl. I actually don't use exit-with-session with X. Still good to know, thanks.

Hi, If you use startx, maybe this post explains it. https://forums.freebsd.org/profile-posts/7089/

Space is an extremely hostile environment to everything, you cannot just stack 4nm 3D box of transistor circuity into a satellite. Isolation cannot be provided without heavy materials, shrinking the payload size. SpaceX is not going to fail...

Contrary to popular belief, space isn't cold.

And we don't really need more unnecessary sources for orbital debris that poses serious issues for other spacecrafts.

Putting services into service jails has a lot of advantages. First of all, you would not expose your internal services like database services to the wild of the public internet. These services are highly attractive to malicious actors and there...

I don't believe a legacy platform has any bearing on open-source development. Much of the code underlying open-source is much older than a P4. A P4 would still provide a stronger development environment than a modern Raspberry Pi. Especially...

As the maintainer who did it, it's intentional and unavoidable at least with current form. For conventional, old-school UMS driver (in contrast with KMS), installing x11/nvidia-driver{-304|-340|-390|-470|-580|-devel} as before pulls...

Well, the "of course" was not obvious to me. I think there are some uses of sqlite dbs in a default install (packages maybe a couple of others) which is why I asked. If they were system level they could be recreated. If they were user data...

Contrary to popular belief, space isn't cold.

I suspect so. But that's a feature of a desktop environment, not the filesystem.

mer some of my work database with tables, views, indices and triggers and data ofcourse.

What "trash bin"?

SirDice i was looking for a way to recover the sqlite database which i deleted from trash bin and did not have a current backup. so tried zfs snapshots as bakul advised, not successful. then checked for steps as per fjdlr but i do not have that...

It's just investment bullshit, give us your money or stay behind type of FUD. "X" in space is almost always a terrible idea. It is far more efficient to house them in Antartica but Antartica is regulated. Besides nobody has ever pulled...

It uses the NVidia driver (more specifically, the 'blob' NVidia supplies with their driver). What were you expecting?

Yes, you cannot use a bridge to tie a VM to your wireless interface. You will have to do NAT.

I don't see heat dissipation as easy as some seem to imagine. Plus the latency might be OK for LLM use, but you wouldn't be able to re-purpuse them for something else.

My people! (On my father's side.)

Nothing in FreeBSD itself depends on this. So why boot to single user mode? And what exactly are you looking for?

Sometimes it is. When Edward Teller was asked to work in the Manhattan project on the nuclear fission bomb he did not only tell them to not bother with fisson-only and go directly to a fusion bomb (aka Hydrogen bomb). The catch: we thought there...

What I've seen most of the effect is that it's often used in combination with claims that have no evidence at all but must be true anyway. What's this called? A supporting argument but only apparent. Some kind of discussion fallacy. phpbb webapp...

Simplest solution, destroy this VM, recreate it with the UEFI boot settings and reinstall. The installer will take proper care of the UEFI boot settings.

One possibility (if you don't have snapshots) is to go to the boot menu, press "e", and select a different BE. Then, mount the BE and recover .db file and copy and paste into bad BE

See if you have any zfs snapshots with command "zfs list -t all". You can browse all snapshots under .zfs in the zfs mounted dir. For example, if "zroot/home/rajiv" is mounted on "/home/rajiv", you can check its snapshots under...

Oh, yeah I remember I had something very similar with my Ubuntu 26.04 VM. Take a look at this issue, this is where I found a solution for myself, I believe it should work for you as well.

You should probably use uefi loader instead of bhyveload one. And if you want a graphical desktop, make sure you have appropriate settings for that, for instance: loader="uefi" uefi_vars="yes" graphics="yes" graphics_res="1920x1080"...

Debian/Ubuntu should use UEFI boot nowadays. Use: loader="efi" uefi_vars="yes"

Do you use vm for managing it? If so, can you post your config for this vm?

Make sure the DRM drivers have .150100 version string, they should be installed/upgraded from the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository, those are specifically built for 15.1. The packages in FreeBSD-ports repository are built for 15.0.

Then the issue is very likely not with the FreeBSD host. If your network card (wired or wireless) wasn't working you wouldn't be able to ping your router. That said, you might be missing a gateway address. So you can only ping hosts on the same...

We are testing Service Jails in FreeBSD 15.1. Are there any advantages to run daemons in Service Jails, with no contact to the outside world, like MariaDB, Valkey etc? /etc/rc.conf apache24_svcj="YES" <== apache24_enable="YES"...

This works on one of my laptops. On another I get:- xset q unable to open display ":0"

What sets this value initially? Does that happen when installing xorg?

Hi all, You can run dhclient command. Something like: dhclient wlan0 Substitute wlan0 for the name of your wireless interface. More here: 'https://freebsdfoundation.org/resource/networking-basics-wifi-and-bluetooth/'

I tried disabling virtual_oss earlier when mixer didn't find devices, which then led to having to add myself to audio group (seems relatively new; I never messed with audio group manually) Not sure if that helps with virtual_oss though

I fully agree with you on the other part, but I cannot second this. It's not all politicians. Point is, politicians can roughly be divided into two groups: The ones who support capitalism, and the ones who understand, capitalism will sooner or...
