Are you aware that tkinter is tk with the whole tcl inside python? Why python with the whole tcl inside if you can do the same with tcl? And I do not think installing is a problem, more interesting would be a short introduction to python, or...

The appeal to graphical environmennts doesn't make much sense anyway. What's different if you install everything independently? If crucial things are missing, the central KDE management should explain what's the problem. FreeBSD has not so much...

You must have been socialized in the Linux world, where it is "our way or the highway". Added to my ignore list.

Confirming with dry-run before actual run to confirm safety (and be patient to wait for pkg repo is really up-to-date, in-sync) would be a good habit.

Comparing with a snapshot: [22:16 r730-01 dvl /.zfs/snapshot/autosnap_2026-04-14_00:00:14_daily/usr/local/sbin] % elfctl -l grub-bhyve Known features are: noaslr Disable ASLR noprotmax Disable implicit PROT_MAX nostackgap...

I'm probably wrong, but are you sure that /usr/local/sbin/grub-bhyve has the wxneeded feature enabled?

I see. :rolleyes: It is an ugly lenghty commandline and bhyve is quite picky and not very verbose. What you could do, if that "vm" is simply a shell script, run it after inserting "set -v -x", then it should somewhere print that commandline. But...

From what I understand, the vm-bhyve is a convenience layer. So does it start without vm-bhyve? Anther approach could be to look into the source what might trigger the rc=4 - that could be enlightening, or it could be devastating. ;) I for my...

Found it: [22:12 r730-01 dvl ~] % elfctl -l /usr/local/sbin/grub-bhyve Known features are: noaslr Disable ASLR noprotmax Disable implicit PROT_MAX nostackgap Disable stack gap wxneeded Requires W+X mappings la48...

Stefan2 me too. I had overlooked the left hand search box. I get the correct result on the right hand search box, but nothing on the left.

I don't know and searching for that term doesn't help me answer your question, so: [22:07 r730-01 dvl ~] % ls -l /usr/local/sbin/grub-bhyve -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1081496 2026.02.09 03:11 /usr/local/sbin/grub-bhyve [22:07 r730-01 dvl ~] % file...

When reading the handbook starting out 14.1 I clicked the X Windowing System category; I didn't skip to it but read the handbook to get to that part. Same process still works today 15.0/1 and 16.0-CURRENT (pkg install xorg drm-#-kmod), and xlibre...

The left box works with "x.org".

I was on 15.1-PRE yesterday, ran pkg update from a script, ignored a mismatch version warning and updated a bunch of stuff (thought it was from pkg32 wine 😅), rebooted and froze at next boot. I was testing filesystem stuff too and figured that...

> So does it start without vm-bhyve? I am happy to try that if someone shows me how. I see the options listed above. Can it be that easy. From what I know, byhve does get started, as shown in the logs. Looking at your script, that's probably...

For upgrating the second machine, I had the src directory mounted read only. I switched the mount to rw and it completed 'make -j4 buildworld' without stopping. However, the file /etc/rc.subr exhibited the same problem as the first machine. I...

Stefan2 Same here. A PR needs to be sent.

I said, to me it makes sense to have a (sub)forum for AI of its own. I wanted to get all the general pro & con AI stuff and above all the garbage out of the rest. I reconsidered it in the last days, and to me it makes no difference if we had a...

I wish I understood what I was supposed to do with this instruction. Do I need to install ports to get my graphics working properly?

.

MG That's not his problem. The problem is that when he enters "xorg" he doesn't get any results.

xorg and x11 aren't really good search words because they aren't in the text, apparently. The search seems only about the index. "graphics" works.

Just for the record, ZFS is supposed to be safe against this. It carefully orders writes so that a termination of the queue writes at any point in time doesn't lead to inconsistencies. The usual explanation/excuse for this happening anyway is...

Chapter 5: The X window system?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Somehow I thought you meant a web search. However, going to the FreeBSD handbook front page, https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ and typing xorg in the search box shows me...

What does stty cbreak? Or: system("stty cbreak"); for the stdout of a C program.

I have made a change to add drm-66-kmod instead of drm-kmode but still get maxsize error. I did have this working before, God knows how....

From the 50s to the 90s DIY was a big growth industry (at least in the UK) and a huge number of hardware supermarkets sprang up to supply the market. Then the government brought in certification requirements on building work, and with that the...

I type xorg freebsd into firefox (I use start page rather than google) and the Handbook chapter was the first thing that came up. Second thing seems to be this thread. :)

I had. forgotten that this stoppage also occurred on the first machine and I had simply gone on anyway.

For NFS or other networked filesystems you're probably better off with autofs/automount.

Then you need besides graphics/drm-66-kmod to identify (using kldstat) which firmware the gpu needs and install only that firmware. There are those listed below: % cd /usr/ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod % make flavors-package-names...

Dropping here

I only have i915kms and drm.

Don't install graphics/drm-kmod, install graphics/drm-66-kmod.

Thanks, I'll try installing hdparm.

I have done this on the X61, although I tested it with linux using hdparm to test performance, it definitely worked. And I remember also dmesg reports the 3 Gb/s interface when the drive is initialised, although that's not really a test. It's...

For NFS or other networked filesystems you're probably better off with autofs/automount.

To avoid such a failure in the future, specify for filesystems not vital to boot the root system with the fstab mount option "failok". If a filesystem marked as "failok" cannot be mounted, it will not make the system drop into single-user mode...

Don't install graphics/drm-kmod, install graphics/drm-66-kmod.

A further update: I restarted the make and it completed with: -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> World build completed on Thu Apr 23 11:55:21 EDT 2026 >>> World built in 711 seconds, ncpu: 12, make -j4...

I saw this on the r/freebsd. Nice write up! BTW, I've recently found some trouble with epairs not applying checksums, but advertising they do so packets are dropped when they're received on the physical network by other machines and those...

With version 15's new VLAN aware bridges, we only need one bridge at the host level and one epair per jail to handle networking for every jail's needs. Prior to version 15, when I was trying to build a vnet jailed gateway with a handful of VLANs...

If you don't want all the gpu firmware installed, check in kldstat which one is loaded, delete all the others. On a system that does not yet have any GPU firmware installed, now that the required firmware has been identified, proceed to install...

My internal GPU's codename is Renoir, so I install the package firmware made for my exact model graphics/gpu-firmware-amd-kmod-renoir (@renoir flavor). graphics/drm-kmod pulls in graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod and this meta-port pulls in all the GPU...

Legacy BIOS boots (CSM, or really old systems) use vt too (it has a 'vbefb' backend). Ever since they made the switch I've never seen it "automatically" fallback to sc, this was always a deliberate switch (setting kern.vty=sc). I deliberately...

Please show us: cat /dev/sndstat as root: sysctl dev.hdac.0.pindump=1. Look for the pindump in dmesg.

I started the install on a second machine, but it failed on 'make -j4 buildworld'. A few details: I have a separate machine which holds the source and exports the src via NFS. On the machine holding the src, I cloned the src with git and...
