I beg to differ. In a typical Debian install, /dev/sda1 is created and fat(fat32) partitioned by Debian. Debian creates and /etc/fstab entry to allow grub configuration and the /etc/grub.d/ files are on the Debian /root partition. My system...

Please have at look at the history section of https://hyperpolyglot.org/unix-shells. I think it gives a useful overview about the history handling for a few shells.

The Alien vs Predator franchise is really running out of ideas

FreeBSD in Greece ! One of the reasons i stopped a little FreeBSD project i had for some (~3-4?) months (cultbsd) was that pkg downloading speed is painfully slow.

As far as I can tell, the greatest difficulty with UNIX®-like FreeBSD is ending – at least, for applications that use the port of Poettering PulseAudio. The situation with OSS is more complicated, for me. A few weeks ago I installed a...

I have been in touch with their support area. This is a self inflicted wound their response

I have run only release in FreeBSD, for the last 10 or 15 years. I have never done make world on it. I have only installed packages, with a handful of exceptions where something had to be compiled from ports. The difference is probably this: I...

blackhole sorry, I overreacted in this topic because the negativity in other topics was very memorable. Things such as <https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/641234> (where I subsequently withheld a link) and <https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/633617>...

I was going to say something similar: My daily driver is a Mac (or actually a set of it, right now I have a laptop and a desktop, used to be two laptops and a desktop). On all of them, sound works perfectly, and out of the box. My wife and son...

thanks for the pointers, I’ll take a deep look into that. A for the lying, how can I get real info? Is smartctl reliable? # smartctl -a /dev/ada0 smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p6 amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-23...

Edited the original post to reflect the new procedure now that https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1205 was merged.

Well, I get what you mean but I have no idea what I could run in the future so it’s a bit tricky. I could probably settle for something like 16k or 32k but I would rather benefit from experience (or benchmark) of an expert on that subject.

On master dns you need to allow zone transfer for the domain. On slave dns you can use a fresh installed bind and add slave zone definition. See examples. Master dns zone config example: zone "domain.name" { type master; file...

jasonhirsh Are you following the certbot guide ?

looks little complicated for my level. Heck I managed to break letsencrypt and certbot. But thanks!!

Are you looking to fix it or replace it? Why would you want to replace it? Has been working great for me for the who-knows-how-many-years I've been using it.

I have been running for some time security/tailscale in a jail environment without a problem. Recently I seem to have encountered the following problem: root@tailscalejail:~ # tailscale up failed to connect to local tailscaled process (is it...

It has been removed from 14.0-RELEASE too. You can still install it as a port though; ports-mgmt/portsnap. But the whole infrastructure that provides the files for portsnap is going to be decommissioned as soon as the 13 branch is EoL. Release...

First, you placed the "bootme" attribue on the wrong partition. freebsd-boot is the partition storing the FreeBSD boot code (/boot/gptboot). freebsd-ufs would be the correct partition Second, bootme doesn't have an effect here. Why not use the...

I have found that pipewire works well for me on FreeBSD when it comes to switching between a laptop's speakers or the TV if connected with an HDMI cable. with various Linuxes (Linii?) it's been less consistent. Fedora, if I remember correctly...

To be fair, it did try to warn you: Any time zfs/zpool requires -f to do something, it's worthwhile to take a beat and make sure you're doing what you intended. That said, zfs send/recv is your friend now, assuming you have space elsewhere to...

Actually there is a modesetting driver provided by x11-servers/xorg-server (/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so, only: modesetting: SUPPORTED HARDWARE The modesetting driver supports all hardware where a KMS driver is...

I'm afraid you are mistaken. There are several mistakes in your description of how GRUB works, unless you used a unusual GRUB installation method. The GRUB boot loader (on BIOS or UEFI) is loaded independently of Debian or other operating...

I'm trying to boot 7nuj22uc.iso which resides on the partition of my Ventoy disk. When selecting it, I get three mode options: normal, grub2, memdisk. grub2 returns me to the previous menu. normal mode brings up a PXE boot screen. memdisk...

Something is not right in your box, apprentice . In multimedia/vlc there is no mention of "smplayer" as a dependency or anything else. Also, in multimedia/smplayer-themes there is no mention of "vlc". The first thing I would do is: pkg update pkg...

portsnap has been removed from 15-CURRENT. It was deprecated and it's irrelevant in the git environment.

Excellent!

what Is correct? I am looking at this for a replacement for cerbot

There are very few cards using ath9k in the M.2 format. QCNFA335 (QCA9565, 1x1, bgn) and QCNFA222 (AR9462, 2x2, abgn) Make sure your M.2 slot is keyed right. The AR94xx series works on FreeBSD as I am using the AR9580(mini-pcie) in my WAP...

Am I the only one who doesn't want a full env reset when doing single commands as root? I want my tools in $PATH, my shell init config, tmux env vars and whatnot. Poettering's replacement is going in the opposite direction of what I want.

Because there's no other way of updating a -STABLE or -CURRENT. And some people want to create their own install, perhaps disable some features, or enable others. Or strip things down, so it can be used on small (embedded) systems perhaps. See...

Any chance of this working 10 years after it was originally written? (Assuming FreeBSD 14.0 is used of course..)

But that are very different things. Valgrind will only detect defects which you actually trigger during your test run. Rust aims to detect theoretical errors.

It doesn't mention it on the wifi but wasn't that more a project from the PC-BSD guys? Other than the increased install media size, I am not against an optional GUI installer either. However Debian packages are a mess of compromises and weird...

Sadly, with recent naive ideas such as the new Graphical Installer, the actual target audience for FreeBSD is kind of diminishing further. It will alienate those who want technical simplicity and the Steam DRM platform gaming kids will never move...

Many people, including FreeBSD people, agree that a real stateful startup system is the way to go. Why systemd of all pieces won in the Linux world is a different matter.
