As I said, both are in local-host-names and show up when testing the Cw macro.

Little something I've been chopping together - forked hikari and brought to wlroots 0.20 and forked rofi to get that layer-shell action which hikari was lacking It's honestly pretty amateur stuff but I really like it - links if you wanna use -...

Run tzsetup. And make sure to update your system (timezones are regularly updated due to shifting summer/winter times). https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=325325 Don't do this if you dual boot the machine with Windows or any...

I have a basic GIMP 3 installation but help for me works (online and in italian) selecting help from menu or pressing F1. In configuration is selected online version (Usa la versione online), opens in browser (Firefox), LANG=it_IT.UTF-8.

15.0 is not in chronological order from 14.4 . 14.4R was released later and have features (from CURRENT-16 -> STABLE-14 -> releng/14.4), that are not in 15.0R, and these features could be incompatible with 15.0R. It is the result of the...

Could you clarify - "I then upgraded from 14.4 to 15"? Was it 15.0 or 15.1 . FreeBSD documentations says, that upgrade is allowed in chronological order [1]. You cannot upgrade to 15.0, it is "previous" version. I will not go into details about...

It looks to me like just further evolved search engines. I don't care what any prompt webservice with LLM can generate for me. What does it know in detail? How much answers can it provide to questions that can only have 1 valid answer? The...

The timezone database is disabled? $ fgrep _LIBCPP_HAS_TIME_ZONE_DATABASE lib/libc++/__config_site #define _LIBCPP_HAS_TIME_ZONE_DATABASE 0

Hm, that's possible if you never refresh things and it's not stored dry,

with chromium not running, rename ~/.config/chromium and ~/.cache/chromium chromium should create a fresh config.

Works normal on FF

I am transitioning a mailserver to a new FreeBSD install. The configuration is / should be almost identical. Should be easy, right? I get "schlepper sendmail[10502]: 67TIXqoB010502: SYSERR(cracauer): MX list for knight.cons.org points back to...

When re-installing LXDE-META I noticed that BASH was installed, so the problem may well have started when I deleted BASH. Now after a reinstall of LXDE-META and reboot my system appears to be fixed.

LXDE is based on Openbox and it looks like something has broken but I don't delve into the underlying configuration. I have always just installed it and it works, although I remember similar problems previously which seemed to disappear over time.

Get the distfiles and try a source buiid? I wouldn't rely on precompiled binaries for such old system. It's unnecessary dependency. You can lose the provider or the exact file versions.

Incidentally Alt-tab will no longer switch between X and terminal. It is probably part and parcel of the same underlying problem.

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The first Release Candidate build for the FreeBSD 14.5 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, i386, armv7, aarch64, powerpc, powerpcspe, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64...

Let's provide some data here.

I beg to differ, Linux is a target of corporate hit and go for decades now. Linus did meticulously scrutinize many of those commits back then, but with Microsoft, Intel and every second company directly contributing to the project. Besides, CVE...

Maybe that is when people started using LLMs to generate code?

Google for the developer and critics. I just downloaded that github archive. What's going on? It contains apparent binary /bin/sh/sh but it can't be accessed. I can't determine the binary format. It feels like a borked archive. The sh manpage...

When I start up LXDE using startx it comes up eventually after sever minutes but the right controls, ie min, max etc are missing and the system is very unresposive. I have made no changes to the system that I am aware of. Incidentally...

Yeez. I'll go through this later.

Yes. As EM DASH (U+2014 in Unicode code point) is mapped to 3bytes region of UTF-8 (0xE2 0x80 0x94), not all non-CJK fonts would have its gryph. And basically unrelated with anyone who doesn't read/write Japanese, but EM DASH has compatibility...

It must be the environment of the logged-in user responsible for not showing the character in question. A new created, un-customized user account (on 15.1) shows the character ("short**—the") correctly, in console (default console font...

This is highly relevant to FreeBSD. It is unlikely that the number of bugs per line is significantly different between Linux and FreeBSD's kernel.

Does "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" or equivalent for UTF8 for your country help? If that doesn't help show us $TERM and output of "stty all".

In such cases, you can also use Emacs (provided the font is installed). env LANG=C.UTF-8 emacs -e term

No. It's NOT single byte 0xE2, but a part of 3bytes UTF-8. Opening the attached file in leafpad, select the offending character and pasting it into search window of gucharmap states So, is your terminal(s) configured for UTF-8 and having...

Version 149.0.7827.200 (Official Build) (64-bit) Just noticed that it comes up ok on a different laptop but that is running:- Version 149.0.7827.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It always worked until today.

Actually I'm using LXDE on the radxa zero and on the radxa cubie. But it's temporary. Soon I will port some components of Plasma Mobile with the goal to create a WM tailored for a phone. Since I'm building a phone,it should have a proper WM...

You may want to look at the official conformance test https://registry.khronos.org/webgl/sdk/tests/webgl-conformance-tests.html

I guess certain things never change. OP is still spreading Linux news on FreeBSD forum in 2026 ... one must love controversies and scandals.

Did it work before this?

The install phase(s) don't require network access, at all.

With the proliferation of AI/LLM models analyzing the Linux kernel's vast codebase, there has been a surge in the number of CVEs per kernel release. After typically being around 500 CVEs fixed per release, we are now approaching 2,000 CVEs fixed...

Maybe that is when people started using LLMs to generate code?

Three people including a developer have found the behaviour changed with the upgrade to 2.8.4 yet you continue to insist nothing has changed. Why? What are you trying to prove? I set the mirror type to http because that's what the handbook...

Starting Flightradar24 this morning I got:- What to do?

Good thing FreeBSD doesn't have that many bugs per line. Cough.

Should it be explicitly stated that this project has been clearly vibe coded? To spot that you don't even need to look at the commit log (which I did). The website is 100% similar to all the slop we see everywhere nowadays: huge amounts of...

I have something like that on one machine. I had to put in /boot/loader.conf # Prevent message at boot due to Bug #229190: # 'hdac0: Unexpected unsolicited response from address 0: 00000000' compat.linuxkpi.i915_disable_power_well="0"

There must be a somehow constant feed of "value data" that comes from people donating their creative thoughts by publication on AI think-services. If you rely on AI-generated knowledge for everything, you're losing points at originality and value...

Original article here. Consider this when replying. For University of Waterloo student Sourojeet Adhikari, an early interest in understanding how computers work eventually grew into a summer spent helping bring AMD’s ROCm GPU computing platform...

I never liked these huge 170W PSU bricks ... so I moved 'back' to use the 135W PSU from ThinkPad W510 ... they still work like a charm. To be honest ... I never needed that NopeVidia bullshit they put into these W520 - I just wanted CPU cores...

After "short". This is a dash, but not the 7-bit minus sign. Hex code is E2. The fault is not in my terminal or my font, the same display shows up in xterm and kitty.
