I'm running 15.1 on my W520 and am very pleased with it although have just attached my fourth PSU, so I don't know if they are known to be flakey. If has been my daily driver for over a year. It's nice having a big screen. The sound is a bit...

also U can cuse bmon trafshow3 iftop slurm

It can't be nested like a VM or jail? I see no need to be a system-wide configuration. The FreeBSD kernel must go because something doesn't work on GENERIC? What are they hiding?

Since I'm fully up-to-date it's too late to answer that question. Interesting. The line doesn't seem to be needed at all. Perhaps it defaults to "none". However, I'm upgrading jails with pkg -j jailname upgrade and it seems each jail has its own...

~]$ cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/custom.conf custom: { url: "http://192.168.n.n/15amd64-local-kjpservers", mirror_type: "none", enabled: yes, } # pkg repos FreeBSD-ports: { url ...

Certainly harmless. If it bothers you you can turn off the soundchip in the BIOS.

You don't need to reboot (or restart anything) for these settings to apply.

I tried applying the mirror_type fix to my custom repo in my custom.conf file but even after rebooting am still seeing the same error. Is there somewhere else I need to change this?

More than video stuff, I'm thinking of what I'd term professional software because it's used by what are commonly called professionals, that is, doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, and the like. For example, dentists have all sorts of...

That's what I also see, as the biggest problem. All the rest can be fully automated with scripts. My idea so far was - if someone wants to create a FreeBSD based turn-key distribution, do such things by yourself (the maintainer) once manually as...

Look at the rcorder of the scripts; rcorder /etc/rc.d/*. You'll notice /etc/rc.d/cron is somewhere at the bottom, way later than mountcritlocal, FILESYSTEMS, NETWORKING, mountcritremote, automountd and mountlate.

I just checked and I have about 30 packages that require dbus.

what? I think you have a basic misunderstanding of what ports and packages are. -> https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/ regarding dbus: as SirDice pointed out, sysrc doesn't 'recognize' anything - it just checks for valid rc syntax...

The msg comes from a Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 which I use as a headless file server. I don't use audio on it, I can't imagine how such a msg got triggered, root@M73:~ # pciconf -lv | grep Audio -B2 hdac0@pci0:0:3:0: class=0x040300 rev=0x06...

The chip runs at 500F so, yes, it's hot. But all those stats are apparently good for them and meaningless for subscribers.

the answer is in the same style as the question :) https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/index.html#automatically-switching-headphones

Is this the audio from a video card, or the onboard sound chip? I suspect the video card, which one? And what driver are you using for it?

Except the fact that dbus_enable="YES" causes dbus-daemon from devel/dbus to start at boot. Plenty of applications depend on it. It's not "marked" as incorrect, it's perfectly valid shell syntax and doesn't cause an error or do something...

When cron runs at startup would a network drive identified in fstab be already mounted in normal circumstances?

Can a laptop with a WWAN card + SIM slot do that? I've seen a few laptops with the slots but never cards; I'd probably use my computer more for texts and HQ voice depending on the software involved :p

Respect and salute to you for your dedication to make FreeBSD run on phone. ZioMario. I see you have. another threads that successful run A7z and detect the GPU. do you manage to run any WM on it successful ? how hard for you to port the gpu...

This is exactly what I'm building right now. With FreeBSD as os. Stubborn as I'm I will complete this project sooner or later. Now I'm working on the power management feature :

Win98Se was not bad. You still could go to "dos".

Quit signal? It's a wired ACPI shutdown signal. The last thing that happens. If your mainboard has this wire connected, the PSU receives it and shuts down immediately. To ATX standby, unfortunately, but it looks like shutdown.

You have to include something in kern_shutdown (?) that's executed before the actual ACPI shutdown call. Not sure what's all still available at that point. All storage is gone so you have to do something with the information in memory.

Running something when the machine goes down is not reliably possible, because the different programs have init(8) do different things with the stop part of rc scripts,, if anything. Why would you want to set a flag to 0 at shutdown only to set...

I also have a custom /etc/rc to start other things before user-level. But I don't agree with it. A ready-to-use base system should have a central configuration for this. It's not a special thing or so. Even the most limited users might require...

I've been looking at FreeBSD on this machine on and off for a bit now, fortunately someone shared some good help in the freebsd-desktop mailing list a while ago. Seems like there's more activity here though. As of right now, this is about as...

does it also work on Udemy, while on Chromium it detects widevine but video wont play so not sure if this is the current solution to current level of DRM implementation for those sites

microphone doesnt playback sound, are you checking if it is recording your sound?

My solution with bash is to enable autologin (etc/ttys al setting)) and run things that should be executed after startup in ~/.bash_profile if the curremt terminal device is /dev/ttyv0, and it isn't done before, so no /tmp flag file exists. It's...

Is there a recommended way of running a process at boot up, ie such as setting a flag. I'd like the flag to be reset at shutdown,

Can anyone shed any light on these lines that I found in dmesg:- [13] acpi_wmi0: <ACPI-WMI mapping> on acpi0 [13] acpi_wmi0: cannot find EC device [13] acpi_wmi0: Embedded MOF found [15] hdac0: Unexpected unsolicited response from address 0...

You probably haven't set it up in /boot/device.hints

I created a "gparted". Here a screenshot, Sidenote, dependencies, ldd ./gparted ./gparted: libexecinfo.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexecinfo.so.1 (0x3b942c22b000) libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 (0x3b942c7d3000) libthr.so.3 =>...

the partitition and the pool / dataset were autoresized at boot. dunno if that is default behaviour or some cloudinit scripts did that. i was prepared to resize the partition myself but it was just done

Since how long? But that does not extend the fs. One could mount 100 GB. I have an ubuntu instance running boinc for an interesting project, a freebsd with no loaded. Since about two months? No problem jet. Unfortunately boinc-client package...

It's been stated twice, and now a third time,

Run an program called "stress": stress-1.0.4_2 To run stress for 15 seconds every 15 minutes you would add the following to your crontab (crontab -e): */15 * * * * stress -c 1 -t 15 My instance has been running this way for 300+...

I seem to recall SCO using the term 5BSD. https://www.typewritten.org/Manual/Novell/UnixWare/2.01/man5bsd/ms.html

With Frankfurt no way. I ended with two small AMD with 1000 MB Ram and 50 GB disk each. I also have a managed MySQL db with 50 GB and still 50 GB for something else. In order to keep them, you must have a certain load. What do you do? And yes...

Going to split off everything after post #4 and dump it in offtopic.

You don't need a ports tree if you only install packages. When you install a port/package that has a default configuration file it will always be installed as *.sample, it will only create the non-sample named file if it doesn't already exist...

Which will also kill your current SSH session (you also flush the state that allowed the connection), so careful with this if you do remote work.

When a jail starts it will automagically add its IP as an alias to the interface and removes it when the jail stops. You do not need to "pre-assign" them. Just remove all those aliases and make sure it's properly set up in your jail.conf. And I...

It's a framework to run programs.

The Github readme.md talks like it's FreeBSD. Weird... Why is it not just a program?

[no affiliation, I just spotted this] https://www.5bsd.org/ Webpage is a little pretty and light on technical detail. Better info is on Linkedin in the author's posts: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kory-heard/ The source code is forked from...
