I have some weird horizontal "noise" flickering on the screen, almost like sparks, can this be caused by the graphics driver? Best seen in the lower right corner. Zoom 👀 The VGA adapter is a AMD Radeon and I have tried TearFree true...

Do you have RTC? I tried a dozen different things to a systemd timer and it'd either not run or run immediately on boot regardless of time. Meanwhile time and cron are easy FreeBSD :D

Now I got everything working. Removed unbound and defaultrouter. Checking with curl instead, ping probably blocked.

I see it's marked for ages 5 years and up. Some of them say 5-18 years. Not a great sign. In my opinion, and, I think many others with better informed opinions than myself, right now the best book is Absolute FreeBSD 3rd edition by Michael...

Why do you have gateway_enable turned on? Unless your laptop is used as a router you don't need it. But anyway, you are using DHCP, which means you get an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and usually one or more DNS servers from the...

Because the phonebook (DNS) failed. So you cannot resolve hostnames to IP addresses. But this doesn't mean you're not connected to the internet. If you can ping an IP address on the internet then you are connected. Now you have to figure out why...

Dug around a little, and agree. Looks very dodgy.

Not sure about AMD, but on Intel UHD 630 it seemingly only works stable on 61 (66 and 612 randomly crashed on Xfce desktop moving windows 15.0-16)

Using Gimp for viewing pictures is indeed very inconvenient, since it's a program to manipulate/edit pictures, but no viewer. What viewer I use depends on the purpose. Second. feh is also my standard viewer, when I just want to take a quick...

You fail to grasp some basics, DNS is like a phone book, you use it to lookup a name to find their phone number, you then pick up the phone and dial the number. Not having access to a phone book doesn't mean the telephony system isn't working.

As to how gimp is selected, here's a guess. I don't have gimp installed so I'll use firefox as an example. In /usr/local/share/applications/ is firefox.desktop which has a mime type entry like this: Note that image/gif and image/png and...

Wrong conclusion, you ARE connected to the net, or else the ping to 1.1.1.1 would have failed too. You have (or had) a problem resolving.

What file manager are you using? In most, like Thunar and Nemo, you just right click and choose Open With to set the default program: I used graphics/viewnior for a long time now I switched to graphics/ristretto

feh is great but can't display all images. At one time I used geeqie but moved on from it for reasons I don't recall. You might consider imagemagick7 which can do all kinds of image manipulation as well as display. Nowadays I often just use the...

can you check the logs in the mail setting of the browser below:

graphics/feh seems pretty good for a quick review of images in a directory. I had forgotten about it and am grateful for the reminders.

At the moment I'm mainly interested in getting it installed via a script as it appears to be relatively simple to install. I have installed it in the past but am having some problems currently. In the longer term I hope to use Drupal.

feh: /usr/local/bin/feh graphics/feh

open image app : feh .. open GUI folder manager ,, right click the picture , select open with : feh ..

Hello again all, I wanted to share with you the latest improvements I made to this .profile addition. Basically, in under 350 lines of shellcode, each time you login on your server you get something like this: Here is the code: #!/bin/sh...

Hello all FreeBSD users, At the invitation of Crivens, I repost here the little script I've come up with and which received improvements from the community (thanks SirDice, unitrunker, emmex). Context: the idea was to obtain information about...

Wordpress has always been the most attacked and lowest security of all these things.

gio is new to me too. Must take it for a spin.

I like viewnior on Xfce gio mime image/jpeg viewnior.desktop gio mime image/png viewnior.desktop gio mime image/bmp viewnior.desktop

If you really want to compare Linux and FreeBSD you should use the same malloc implementation on both. An example is tcmalloc, on FreeBSD in port google-perftools, on Linux usually in its own package.

graphics/gimageview old but still quite functional. Depends a bit on the desktop environment. Or the file manager you used to open that file.

Doesn't need to be. As long as there's a route to those addresses the actual DNS server IP addresses can be anywhere on the network.

I don't think mdo is made to be a sudo or doas replacement. I believe it is made for things like services to switch users for subprograms. This way, the original service does not have to be root in order to assume another user's credentials, and...

What program do most people use for displaying images? And how to set it? For some reason GIMP starts up whenever I open an image but I can't how that came about.

I am using the latest version from wordpress. But as yet I don't really know what the pkg provides.

I'll give some explanation, since I was involved in creating the release notes and the updating instructions for 15.1. We decided to include the information about the bootloader because this kind of guidance had not been included in the release...

I'm not on FreeBSD since 25 years, but as long as I recall (let say 12 era), the loaders change at each FreeBSD version, whether it's minor or major; I mean in /boot. Often pmbr stays the same, that said, but all the others evolve. The main...

Still would recommend upgrading the bootstrap. It has bug fixes, like everything else.

"For systems that boot via BIOS or UEFI CSM and use the GPT partition scheme, bootstrap upgrades are optional unless a ZFS root pool is upgraded (which is discouraged). " ( https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/upgrading/ ) Can you confirm...

I have a script which is supposed to set the whole thing up. This the MySQL bit: #install wordpress database in mysql iocage exec $JAIL mysql -u root <<EOF CREATE DATABASE wordpress; CREATE USER wp_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'wp_pass'; GRANT...

First of all, this is likely not what you want and blocking ICMP will break things. See https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/generic-nat-firewall-pf-config-template.60144/ You probably don't need to change the DNS on the gateway itself (as...

I have made some tests now, and as expected, adapter igb0 get both its Gateway IP and DNS IP from the Internet Router, which is a Huawei 4G SIM Card router (before testing on the fiber). Default is 192.168.8. on this router btw. lease {...

There you see clearly the inflation I spoke about. Command with same name, but different functionality across systems, many commands for the same functionality in the same system, etc. That is wise, because pw mimics the SYSV commands that are...

The tunnel itself is layer 3 (because it's TCP), what's sent over that tunnel might be layer 2 (L2TP for example).

👍 👍 👍

Old site, still useful, but might need an update: https://bhami.com/rosetta.html Users and groups? Mostly pw. One command to rule them all. Though I also use adduser and rmuser because they're convenient.

As you do: edit the files in /etc/ by hand (through vipw if necessary). My passwd and group files are commented and well structured; automated editing tools would lose that.

Me too 😅

hm, I can't even add ip addresses to a table any more

Oh: one more matter: when I remove the word "root" from my crontab, and then attempt to test-run the cronjob, it never seems to finish, and just hangs until I Ctrl-C out of it. Ken Gordon

Here is the cron-job as I have written it: #!/bin/sh # Automated Lynis Scan Script #Define log and report paths LOGFILE="/var/log/lynis-cron.log" REPORTFILE="/var/log/lynis-report.dat" /usr/local/bin/lynis audit system > $LOGFILE 2>&1 #Send an...

I DID follow the instructions suggested in your July 9 msg, but if I remove the word "root" from my cron-tab, I get zero emails to root from my cron-job. In order to get the email report in my root mail, I MUST include the root addressee in the...

Wow, thanks, fast enough. Haven't updated ports tree today yet.
