If you mean Updating FreeBSD 15.0 to FreeBSD 15.1 (via pkgbase) - thanks. That first one was daunting. The following 8 were easier. I did 6 hosts over two days and then two on the Saturday. All running fine. Now I just have to update all these...

Sounds like a Touring Maschine implemented on Z80 emulating some 64 bit arch. Can be done, but why? Maybe turn the Z80 into some kind of bit slice processor, making registers wider but you will be stuck with byte operations on memory. An...

Funny fact that bectl(8) had numerous bugs before it finally reached the beadm(8) level years after introducing ... its was really strange decision for me to NOT include into Base System ready to use BSD licensed beadm(8) tool and wasting a lot...

In my view that is certainly your perogative. Note that the "show-me" mode only prints the situation as sysutils/loaders-update sees it. "simply following the man page" isn't alway that straight forward to many as it may seem to you. Also, IIRC...

To day FVWM(3)

I decided to have two WM's. First one is my favorite Openbox and the second one is JWM. On the second monitor is our missed Luna opened with Geequie. On Openbox I am using Tint2.

FreeBSD 14.4, Windowmaker and X11, in the ISS cupola... I'm not sure what the thinkpad is, possibly a T61?... and it looks like the trackpoint red rubber cap has floated off in zero-G somewhere. Oh I don't know, maybe it is there just above the...

The way I do it: is the newer python package installed, yes, OK, ignore, no, look closer (like your `pkg -r` line of inquiry) two Pythons installed? Remove the old one. Look at what else gets removed I think you can jump straight to step 2...

The package is not available in the package repo. Those py311 packages may have been replaced by py312 (or later) packages. You might also have two versions of python installed now.

That's only because even he can't figure out how to get Wayland working well enough to integrate into systemd. Everybody reaches their limit eventually. It's really well past time that we stopped society in general to raise the children. Some...

wow, you mean, you asked chatgpt and got back a wrong and dangerous answer?

While this is valid to suppress output it is not a good way to do this. For example, backticks get executed. Consider this: : << EOF echo hello echo `touch /tmp/l88` EOF This will execute the touch.

dch asked if I had this entry: [15:48 r730-01 dvl ~] % grep BACKUP_LIBRARIES /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf BACKUP_LIBRARIES=yes * Every host with the orphaned packages has this entry. * Every host without orphaned packages does not have that entry.

Oh, yeah, I see, my bad, I didn't know about this field! Well, I would honestly expect it to be mentioned more explicitly in wpa_supplicant or wpa_cli. It's not obvious that you need to look at the config manual for a basic usage. But anyway...

Are you looking for net/wutil, wutil/wutui? And you have defined a ctrl_interface directory in the wpa_supplicant.conf?

It can be done with software. Adjust the hardware to approach the same but with the existing physical circuitry if possible. It might need a memory bank for the stack of this construction.

A fools errand. No mmu, still 16 bit address bus, no caches...

Yes, it will :) In fact, you can always make a simple test script to try it out when you are not sure: /tmp/test #!/bin/sh pkg inst -n php84 \ mod_php84 \ php84-session $ /tmp/test The following 5 package(s) will be affected (of 0...

As long as you have no trailing space after the backslashes, yes.

There is some errors:

We need a 64-bit system of 8 Z80s in line with interconnected buses and registers to run a BSD kernel. The opposite of multiplexing. What's this called? :cool:

I am just curios did anyone here are using Krita? Do you have any problems after recent Krita upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0? Now when starting Krita I see "snapshot" of my windows/desktop instead of Krita user interface (take a look at screenshot...

Right now the age restrictions only kick in for non-root users that have their accounts set up by an adult root user. So you don't have to have an immutable OS. Of course the local privilege escalation security bugs and the smartness of some...

Coding fun. In Rust. Somebody didn't experience the full power of Lisp yet.

As long as you have no trailing space after the backslashes, yes.

How do line continuation character work in a shell script? Would the following be executed as expected? sudo pkg install \ php84 \ mod_php84 \ php84-pdo \ php84-pgsql \ php84-gd \ php84-mbstring \ php84-opcache \...

Reinstalling is defeatist. Never reinstall.

While I agree that the age verification is a "foot in the door" thing that will escalate to further ham-fisted legislation I don't share phk's view that this will go all the way to making OSS operating systems impossible or useless.

Thank you guys. I followed your recommendation now I have my own build environment that I run against the Ports tree… 🙏

Agreed. Horde open-hardware today. I knew my collection of Thinkpads, NetVistas and other ancient kit would pay off. I probably have enough now, it can see me through to retirement.

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

I use /usr/local/www/blog with nginx

Don't use /usr/local/www/apache24/data, that's all I can say. It's where Apache's default "It works" website lives, leave that as-is. Same for /usr/local/www/nginx/ with nginx. I like /usr/local/www/<mywebsite>/, for example...

What directory do people use on apache for DocumentRoot? I'm think about various applications such as Wordpress. Some examples I've seen use /usr/local/www/wordpress others use /usr/local/www/apache24/data/wordpress. I realise both will work...

Sure, I agree. I have explicitly bought Intel to avoid the AMD hassle.

I have never included a patch, so I am not sure what to do exactly. Does this mean I have to recompile the kernel? So if I come from the readme here, https://github.com/jsm222/drm-subtree/blob/15-CURRENT/README.md what steps do I need before I...

Then it is likely that the second battery isn't capable of delivering enough power matching the high load that building packages does. Or it is the switching circuitry that isn't capable of delivering such power output during the switching.

you can try to include this patch You can try to apply https://github.com/jsm222/drm-subtree/blob/15-CURRENT/pbp-kernel-extra-patches/sys_dev_iicbus_es8316.c, do not know if it will work on non arm..

Boot to single user mode and remove that kld_list from rc.conf. Then it should boot normally again. I suspect you unintentionally installed the drivers for 15.0 instead of 15.1 (drivers in FreeBSD-ports are newer than in FreeBSD-ports-kmods)

The reason FOSS is a time-limited concept is that eventually all processing machines will be closed boot, meaning they won't run unless they are started with a license key. So devs will have to "register". Looking for an example? Look no...

In the old days they would add on pedals and call a scooter a moped. Some way to let kids ride legally on the road. It was a scam. They are defiantly struggling here with regulation. Kids on Golf Carts are all over neighborhoods. They are not...

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...

Pkgbase is different ok But to say that the procedure is complicated is surprising from some users who are administrators And they have been for years To say that everything is mixed up is false There is always a separation between third-party...
