Looks like you did hit 293273, which implies that you still have mesa-devel on the i386 side (with pkg32.sh) installed. While here: This is counterproductive because DXVK translates OpenGL to Vulkan, so it’s obvious that nothing will work...

I'm writing a shell script that helps me to manage wireless network (WiFi) connections in a convenient manner. I want to be able to retrieve the status of a particular interface. For instance, I've successfully connected to a network using...

Indeed moving around partitions on FreeBSD is no simple task. gparted LiveCD supports moving pretty nicely.. It almost feels like "Partition Magic". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PartitionMagic

This kind of threads are an horror. Such things are also my experience and a reason to take risk and not upgrade.

Kids should only have dial-up speeds; it'll encourage prioritizing (good luck infinite short video scrolling :cool:)

I've had a small FreeBSD system hosted on Vultr for about 8 years. It is currently running 15.1-RELEASE. It is using ufs. On the 18th Vultr had a maintenance window to update KVM to address a "critical Linux KVM vulnerability". They didn't...

Espionage724 I'll take a look, thanks! Have tried Wayland now, same problem.

About the stupid age thing, I said in other threads and hinted here, it is a consequence of tech bros pushing technology where it doesn't belong, mixed with tech-inept rulers that are simply incapable to come up with an optimal solution and thus...

No no I am not talking about age verification, I am talking about mass TLS. Also take in account that in Europe especially in smaller countries we do not have an Orwellian style agencies that retent and warehouse historic user data and such, but...

Excellent article by phk, hits to bottom of things, the states have not only right, but obligations to pursue criminals. The "tech bros" sought to create a parallel environment where their regulation governs the affairs, well, that is simply not...

That's why I sugested "ask the maintainer if he can create a -tiny flavor" We have "emacs" and "emacs-nox" so why not ask for similar? Edit: Honestly this is the prime tradeoff between "using prebuilt packages" and "building everything from...

Weak Quotes with the Double Quotes versus Strong Quoting with the Single Quotes

Its weird because that vehicle has an engine, it isn't a bicycle anymore. I know the UK is struggling to classify those but it looks pretty clear cut to me.

Your experience was rather different to mine. I felt the process was better. The first host was slower than the subsequent hosts. I had things to learn and questions to ask. But then, I also had similar questions over my years of using...

Yes. And ubuntu offers to install it separately what I of course did not do. 650 MB only to have a GUI. Otherwise only 1,4 MB. Out of proportion! But to install it, I would need to install the whole ports tree, and I do not want to...

The boinc-client port has the optional GUI manager enabled by default. This depends on wx32-gtk3, causing packages such as webkit2-gtk_41 to be installed.

It seems some libs were preinstalled. But this still does not justify 650MB. Package dependencies in ubuntu And in FreeBSD

Here are the FreeBSD shared libs for boinc: /usr/local/bin/boinc: libexecinfo.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexecinfo.so.1 (0x145747a30000) libcurl.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4 (0x145747bfe000) libssl.so.35 =>...

While Mint seems to have boinc, a debootstrapped Ubuntu Noble knows nothing about it. The install instructions for boinc for Ubuntu say you need to add a package mirror from Berkeley. That seems to indicate that it isn't Ubuntu that installs...

Packages are convenience items to cover every possible user. Your ubuntu installation cripples you if you needed some of that functionality. If you want something more custom to your needs, that's what ports are for. There you can usually...

Try to uncomment the ntalk line in inetd.conf: # ntalk is required for the 'talk' utility to work correctly ntalk dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd Then either add inetd_enable="YES" in your rc.conf, if you...

boinc on Mint looks plenty bloated to me: ~(grisu)2180% ldd `which boinc` linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000771a6e3a9000) libboinc.so.7 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboinc.so.7 (0x0000771a6e175000) libboinc_crypt.so.7 =>...

I am fed up! I installed boinc-client in ubuntu, it took very few megabytes. boinc-client in FreeBSD downloads 657 MB. This is an overall experience. FreeBSD packages have all dependencies, here gtk, although the program is for a server. In...

Your single-quotes symbols block variable evaluation, if you still need them for whatever reason, you can use: sed 's/^#ServerName.*$/ServerName '$IP'/g' httpd.conf.tmp

So double quotes rather than single quotes!

sed "s/^#ServerName.*$/ServerName $IP/g" httpd.conf.tmp

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 am afraid for the future of FOSS. It is a scary world where rebellion has been quelled. Ironic that ARAPANET turned out to be one of the greatest advances in communications. Then was killed by control.

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?

Example host "vnet" jail bridge and iocage jail DHCP static IP lease configuration: Host /etc/rc.conf, see handbook "17.5.3. Creating a VNET Jail". Change IP addresses and network interface names accordingly to your lan setup and network devices...

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...
