This outcome of a walled garden is what is seen as "user-friendly". Loads of people are asking for that kind of crap, even on these forums (easy installers, easy init systems, easy gui tooling). You can't escape it unless you migrate to a...

I managed to get this working some time ago but can't recall how. This does not work as I want. I know I need to escape $IP in the sed script. Can someone remind me how? #!/usr/bin/env sh...

Does HDMI audio work with other than FreeBSD OSs? Check also BIOS/UEFI HDMI audio settings, if available.

One thing I can't figure is, is there any way to get the IP address of the jail returned when executing iocage create $JAIL ?

Many thanks for the detailed explanation about how to use dnsmasq. I would not have been able to figure it out by reading the docs.

What file system is the original installation using, UFS2 or ZFS? Which FreeBSD version is installed? Tell us about the system firmware boot method. Is it legacy BIOS or UEFI?

I'm going to offer up my own page about how I got it working on a Thinkpad, connected to a TV with an HDMI cable. There's a section on using it with FreeBSD. https://srobb.net/pipewire.html

I wish i could quote your title. It's because they care about you.

Hi there! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I am not 100% sure where to do it: The issue is about what the title says: I got a Thinkpad T420 last year, and wanted to test some different OS on it. FreeBSD was one of them: The...

Try graphics/drm-612-kmod, or one of the other drm-kmods (drm-515|61-kmod). Assuming /etc/rc.conf kld_list+="i915kms": # pkg del drm-66-kmod # pkg install -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods drm-612-kmod # shutdown -r now

Thread: What is sysctl kern.sched.preempt_thresh; one of my link overviews

This was 1998, not long ago: https://www.washington.edu/R870/AddingUsers.html

Not a metal head, but I liked this. Supposedly Metallica liked them too. BabyMetal, Karate View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvD3CHA48pA&list=RDGvD3CHA48pA&start_radio=1

you should install nvidia-drm-kmod and nvidia-driver

I have installed an DL320 Gen11 in May. Everything works, from iLO with SOL via SSH to the HTML5 console and the controller with mrsas(4). This abysmal system compiles world and kernel in 15 min. Insane.

Usually adduser on a new system with only username and password given but sometimes I feel like pw. It's actually quite convenient if you want to change specific user properties.. The syntax description already explains everything.

That are System V commands, not BSD commands. pw is meant to mimic them, but it does not do it 100%. The old BSD style seems to be to edit the files and use for example commands like: vipw pwd_mkdb chpass (chfn, chsh) passwd vi /etc/group See...

It's absolutely a supply-chain attack target. Everyday someone is trying to spread malicious code through this default portal. I wonder if it also interchanges the executable fingerprint with rhe official binary suppliers to catch systems with a...

A couple of times I found some great answers about programming on StackOverflow by Googling and afterwards realized they were mine from long ago.

I wonder how Plasma 6 renders the desktop background? I can't imagine it's repainting a static image at vsync or rendering it on GPU, but that almost looks like what's happening. I'd try different desktop alternatives (iirc one was no...

Today I use feh and sxiv, before I used xv. Just for first inspection of an image, for more, ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick that support other formats and have more functionality.

It may seem that since the mail client built as part of the browser it uses linux network API that's not fully supported on linuxulator it might need to be fallback to how the browser connects to the internet. Try to run the command below to run...

A lot of good opinions on viewers in this thread but no one is talking about library bloat. Most of discussed options are heavily tied to a particular desktop environment and drag a bunch of SO dependents into memory when you run them. type ldd...

I myself use a simple graphics/nsxiv :) I like it, it covers my needs.

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

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

Just a bit of time (I've done something alike before several times). Note that sed is needed to omit a garbage ( as merged into one by uniq) "the" caused by base libraries (not installed by ports/pkgs).

I was looking for a way to assign a hostname at the time of creating the jail, but didn't see it. Is it possible to use dnsmasq to provide a hostname. Also with IOCAGE jails, I don't how I can allocate an IP address since there is no MAC...

Cool, I didn't know that memory tests can be inadvertently related with the Nvidia GPU. I will look into the xorg module extension to see what happened then into the memtest.

Why don't you consult the sysutils/iocage documentation (no offense, but it's not the first time you don't)? If I'm unfamiliar with a program, I look in the documentation, if available, online, and local installed manuals. It took me as a...

For those who are interested with EFI booting that works with a root file system that does not necessarily reside on the boot disk, Warner informed me about a recent feature of loader.efi (only in 16-CURRENT for the moment): the boot_policy...

I don't remember when I set things up, but feh is my default image viewer with a browser. To view an image with email, I use display (from ImageMagick) which I set up in mailcap. I *think* the reason I chose that was because whenever someone...

xv works fine. But it has no capabilities to pan around an image zoomed in.

graphics/xv Don't know if it still functions, but the port is there and so are the packages for it.
