Agreed. Its usually my last resort and often on an old test device with no sim card in. I think the reason why the phone didn't see the printer is because a button on the printer had to be pressed first to make it "findable". Probably the WPS...

start cups after the printer is running, and once the printer found , see if that enables a print dialog from a KDE program [browser... ] to print to it?

Yes, on my freebsd laptop I can connect to the hotspot. I get the local IP 192.168.223.12 and the document says that the printer IP is 192.168.223.1. Seems good so far. When I try 192.168.223.1:631/ipp/print, either with http or https, I get a...

Thank you so much for quick replies! T-Aoki - I put rust in blacklist ( lol in the sample config it is in the examples : EXAMPLE: TMPFS_BLACKLIST="rust" )

Good notice, but I had once similar problem couple of years ago and set TMPFS_LIMIT=32 32GB should be enough right ??? but good point, I will disable it for now and try to recompile ( eta ~2-3 hour )

Hello, I'm having issue while compiling "rust-1.99.1_1" with poudriere, while 'rust-1.98.1' was successfully compiled a week ago: What I found weird is this part: Caused by: 0: failed to copy...

Thank you for your responses. The larger point for me is not necessarily whether it works as a tool nor the logistics accompanying the development, but rather the more political and philosophical stance being taken. It's a dividing subject, and...

Likely the same? It has to contribute something visibly.... An AI service finding and solving software problems is nice. 1 that doesn't explain anything about it and could as well achieve the same result with real people has no value. Any AI...

Interesting, when I bought my Canon MegaTank I also looked at the Epson EcoTanks. They both screw us over on the "maintenance cartridges" but the Epson had a better system for the ink heads rather than heating to high temperatures. What made me...

I maintain cash register/financial systems running on FreeBSD using C and SDL and Qt. I really have no idea how any public, 0% transparent AI service could provide me valuable information to improve things. It's like someone online recommending...

Does it matter? I have good results with LLM code reviews, whether I call them intelligent or not.

Finding problems on software is in my opinion more a matter of repetition of a method that only requires computer logic. What's the "intelligent" part supposed to improve?

Installing the x11/xorg meta-port also pulls in x11/xorg-apps - which includes x11-wm/twm - as a dependency; however, with x11/xorg-minimal, while x11/xinit gets installed, x11-wm/twm (part of x11/xorg-apps) does not.

I've using xorg for a long time and not heard of this file. It helps a lot in being able to understand things. twm is much less of a mystery now.

No policy has been published yet.

It looks like you have Haswell which is mature (no major driver changes any platform in years), but swapping takes less than a minute (don't even have to reboot iirc if unloaded/reloaded, but probably should)

Put it behind a OpenWRT router and block SSDP there to the Mercusys :cool: Or maybe put OpenWRT on it directly, but they mention it having low RAM and don't seem to support it for more-recent versions (note 2 says discontinued since 19); might...

I'd use IPP (product page says it's supported) With a couple HP printers on FreeBSD and Linux CUPS and Windows I used this address (seems standard/might work for other vendors): ipp://192.168.1.172/ipp/print

I'd try 61 (66 crashed for me on 16.0 with HD 530 a few days ago)

The twm window manager is the default when you install X. Look at /usr/local/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. That's the default if you have no xinitrc.

Thank you, reading the S.M.A.R.T. info is not a problem with smartmontools. It's just that I mostly use it on Windows (to show people a screenshot when their drive has problems) and noticed the difference in behavior. I will report to the...

Just a FYI: For nvme, there's nvmecontrol that can extract mostly equivalent or more info as S.M.A.R.T. but in different forms. As you can see in the manpage, page 0x02 of logpage would be what you usually want. You can see it by nvmecontrol...

Since I have no luck in tracking down the source of the error which is the topic of the post, I decided to make a completely fresh install of FreeBSD and install pkgs one at a time and see how things go. I first installed xorg and was surprised...

Yes. After the update, when launching GSmartControl, all drives are marked as unknown. To display the drive data, I have to perform a "Re-read Data" operation for each drive.

In my opinion, the simplest approach is to open a bug report in the Git repository. A search for the words "crash+python" yields over 1,000 open issues; perhaps your problem is already listed there...

Hello, Is there a software, available on FreeBSD, that would produce a nice dashboard of network usage, including top destinations by data or packets across a period of time, top protocols, etc. ?

Yep, it's been reported here and the patch has already been committed. It might be in stable/15 by now.

NGL, Google has sucked for at least the last decade. It was kind of OK for a while just because it was able to scan more of the internet and returned results fairly quickly, but it's never been the best in terms of actually delivering predictable...

Hi, I want to statically configure server IP6 addresses but continue to allow the installation of the default route as learnt from RAs. Is this possible? ifconfig_vmx0_ipv6="inet6 2001:0DB8:10::10.10.10.10 prefer_source accept_rtadv -autoconf"...

Rebuilt the nvidia packages from ports (2026Q4 branch) and I am back to reasonable snappiness again.

upgraded BIOS to latest version (F68c). I still have to login and type startxfce4 --with-ck-launch blind. mesa and nvidia packages (and a whole lot of others) got updated root@kg-core2:~ # pkg info | egrep mesa\|nvidia mesa-dri-26.2.2...

for i in `seq 500`; do { fortune freebsd-tips;echo '=======================================================================';}|tr '\n' '~' ;echo;done|sort -u|tr '~' '\n' >file.txt

So this should run the fortune command 5000 times, and for each output, only store it in tips.txt if it is unique. Otherwise you would end up with loads of duplicates. sort -u should do the same as sort | uniq. In either case, you need to sort...

Distro on USB is the standard way to install. RUFUS freeware is a great tool for ISO to USB. This is the preferred method of installing Win11 to bypass BitLocker, tpm, Microsoft online acct, etc I use the Schengen’s web site in Germany to...

I have and have used Rufus for a number of years now. It makes bootable media very easily. Never mind on any of the other matters: I believe I have all the info I need, now. Again, thank you. However, NOW I have TONS of work to do. This should...

It's also required with VNC, vfb-servers and nested X-servers, but why make a problem of it on a random 64-bit PC with 1 monitor? That's always the same string for a default Xorg install. My idea is that they don't want to default it because UNIX...

Image parsing and other media handling problems, as Crivens has pointed out, will quickly catch up with you.

But that isn't true. On my Mac $DISPLAY is /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.AbC123xyz/org.xquartz:0 On my workstation I used :8 and :9 when I ran multiple X11 servers (so that I don't use the wrong one by accident).

So far, I have had what I would consider, very good luck with Mint. OK. So where would I find this? Could I get, or make, such a distro on a bootable flash drive? My new Iron Wolf drive arrived today, and as soon as we have some breathing room...

cat the non-db file! [edit:] s/db/dat/

Not tested it but... for i in `seq 5000`; do fortune; done | sort -u > tips.txt That is likely to get most of them. (note this is probably the worst way to do it)
