Layer of cash... That's what stands between me and the next SSD I order from Amazon. 😂 If I had cash, I'll get a beer. :beer:

hruodr A few years ago, I was still running on RamNode with 32-bit FreeBSD. I put in a ticket and asked about changing to the current version 64-bit. They said, "Sure" and made the iso available. I installed that as a regular installation goes in...

if_iwlwifi_load="NO" would not load the module when the kernel starts at boot. devmatch_blocklist="if_iwlwifi" prevents it from being automatically loaded after the kernel started. /boot/loader.conf has settings that are done before the kernel...

Greetings all, I would like to add several additional drives to my server, but all the motherboard's SATA ports are already occupied. I remember having had asked about an HBA working with ZFS few years ago, but the search function cannot find...

Just managed to create a virtual server with oracle linux in oracle-cloud and login to it. Cryptic names, latency in the web site, had to guess with help of AI, non transparent, takes a lot of time. It offers a wonderful virtual server with ARM...

I don't know how useful this will be, but: I've used Synth for years. It has always done a lot of scanning to figure out what is related to what, and how so. Plus, ever since FLAVOR became a thing, Synth has always taken even longer -- a...

I've abandoned SVN (used since the dawn of time), now www/gitea on my LAN (about 3 years)

Hi SirDice, thank you for the reply. Building all the packages for a server should not be a problem because there will be only a few (based on review of packages installed on my existing server). I am more concerned about a workstation...

I would say it really depends on what you need customized, and how often you update packages. If it is just a few programs you want to customize, then you could just build those from ports, lock them, and remember to rebuild if you want to...

That's the "best" way and will make sure all package dependencies line up correctly with your custom options. Really only for the first build. After that you simply point pkg to the local custom repository, for example: dicelan: { enabled...

GhostBSD is not supported here. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ghostbsd-pfsense-truenas-and-all-other-freebsd-derivatives.7290/ Aye. This lists the same model: https://freebsdfoundation.github.io/freebsd-laptop-testing/ But, if you inspect...

I don't see anything mentioning "unexpected" within my messages, and the only thing I could find was the below line which seems to mention a normal shutdown. Jul 7 18:53:36 Asus shutdown[13386]: reboot by root: However, now that I think about...

Below is what I got Simon@Asus:~ $ sysctl hw.acpi.power_button_state hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5

It took me a few days of trial and error, but I was eventually able to restore the wake up function to my power button by making the below changes. Now my wake up function seems to working exactly the same as it did before I added the UPS...

https://github.com/b-aaz/bmake-extravaganza This is a Mandelbrot set renderer, written in pure BSD Makefiles, with no calls to ANY external binaries. This project started after I was reading a bunch of the port system's Makefiles, and I realized...

From multiple testings in the past and current (in virtual machines), I observed that the FreeBSD loader (gptboot, gptzfsboot and loader.efi) boots the system only if the loader is on the same disk as the system is (BIOS and UEFI), contrary to...

Had the same thing recently although can't remember exactly how long or which versions. freebsd-update has always been pretty quick for me but recent upgrades have had me worried; extremely long pauses with no output on the console. Not sure why...

I've got top notch security on my system, because I'm so broke I cannot even pay attention!

Krush206 you still don't seem to know the meaning of the word "permit". A right was granted to Sony when they came into possession of BSD-licensed code, by whatever means, to do any of three things with the code that they either modified or not...

Absolutely no, under 3-clause BSD the first two clauses deal with attribution and the third with representation. Under no circumstances can the inclusion of a copyrighted BSD project used as advertisment/representation for the new project - the...

It's all done in your local working copies. You're not actually 'pushing' those changes to the FreeBSD git repositories because that would indeed require authorization. Yes, and you can make that patch quite simply; git diff main, or even...

I really don't understand what is this whole 'alternative browser' nonsense. Do you want to do finance and be safe? Get a cheapest brand name tablet or smartphone. Don't do anything on that device bar install the app(s), and work with them. Do...

the hour was about it and feels embarrassing. Can't remember it was like this the previous times. But I'm happy 15.1 is running, roughly six hours after starting the upgrade, thanks all for you assistence and patience! P.S.: No...

Sorry, but what do you mean by "just didn't write the C"? To upstream your proposed changes, you wouldn't be asking people to discuss your ideas, your architecture, or anything like that. You'd be asking them to review the code you provide. When...

Simple workflow example: poudriere ports -c -D -p devports cd /usr/local/poudriere/ports/devports git checkout -b mydev_branch # make your changes to the port and commit those. poudriere bulk -j 151-release -p devports -f mypackagelist.txt # or...

Branch the ports tree poudriere uses. Commit your updates to this development branch. Update the main branch, then rebase your development branch with main. Let poudriere build packages using your development branch. Note that by default...

If it was working, it should support Windows clients, as well as Linux and FreeBSD clients.

smartclt -a /dev/da0 for example. iostat -x 1 Keep an eye on the %b numbers. That's the "busy" percentage. If it's consistently above 90 then your drive simply isn't fast enough for the amount of I/O it has to process. %b % of...

Looks like lvshmem presents a PCIe device to the guest. That sounds usable from FreeBSD, not to mention pretty sophisticated and potentially fast. Not sure about the host side.

smartctl from sysutils/smartmontools is good to get some internal data from the disks themselves. At the freebsd-update install phases nothing is downloaded from the internet, that only happens during the 'fetch' or 'upgrade' stages. Fetch or...

Are your disks still good? The upgrade/update process uses quite a bit of I/O. If you have a bad disk writing performance it's going to take ages. Also, do you have the sources installed in /usr/src/? If freebsd-update has to update those it's...

Greetings all, despite reading topics on (not)mixing ports and packages, I still have some misconception(s). As best as I understand it, if one changes an option, the custom-built package may depend on a package B instead of the default package...

OS-level virtualization is not as perfect as hardware-level virtualization. Containers run the same kernel as the host, and in most cases, if an application needs a file, a directory, or a device, these resources must be shared; therefore, this...

Looks like you're trying to install FreeBSD. Would you like some help?

You did bring the fireproof underwear, did you? How big do you think the install media would have to be, to the next 10GB mark?

I retested this while physically in the machine and the machine is responsive. So, i it seems there are no hangs, except remotely over ssh. I will close this issue and will keep using and report back if i notice (and can reproduce) the hangs i...

Ahahahahaha then you are luky. My father use the smartphone only for set timers when take pills (I set timers, not him). This is all the technology he use. I installed Alexa, it lasted less than a minute "Take that thing and throw it away" he said.

He knows where I live :eek: All jokes aside, my mom would definitely call me basically begging me to call my dad because he's driving her nuts. Thankfully remote desktop exists, because trying to guide my dad over the phone was, ehm, painful...

Yes, of course, I didn't specify. I stick to the ports system: the one offered by the makefiles. They should be reliable.

To go down on the dependency chain is easy (get the list of port that a port depend on: Port A depends on Port B and Ports C, Port B depends on Port D ... and so on down on the chain for all branches). The other way is a bit more complicated...

Of course. My mistake. Try "buildworld buildkernel" again. On my system, sometimes creating a cdrom terminates with an error, building again helps. If that doesn't help, you could ask on the freebsd-pkgbase@ mailing list about "NOPKGBASE"...

You should block his number for 10 days.

Maybe people have been reading the handbook, using pciconf -lv commands, manually installing the correct port for their hardware?
