Apparently it might not be implemented in hardware on my switch so i'm looking for alternatives 02:29:27 Title: Chapter 33. Advanced Networking | FreeBSD Documentation Portal 02:30:09 or do I just have to configure two ports the same 02:31:03 man lagg ? 02:55:41 sfox: If your switch/router doesn't support LACP, you won't be able to use a standard LAGG configuration on FBSD (or anything else, as far as I know.) 02:56:08 wdym standard LAGG? 02:56:43 LAGG takes 2-3 connection and makes it into one, when one fails it reroute to second 02:56:57 think it came from openbsd ? 02:57:08 or was that carp? 03:01:49 Could|Should PORTS_MODULE be used to always make some ports on buildworld? 03:02:04 s/make/build+install/ 03:02:56 parv, PORTS_MODULES 03:02:57 and yes 03:03:19 for kernel ports it is recommeded in my opinion to rebuild regardless of if its release stable or current 03:04:10 cpet, Right, thanks for the correction. Yes, I was uncertain if ports which do not install a kernel module could fail for lack of the said module 03:04:59 pretty much only applies to drm* and a few set of other ports 03:05:04 such as qemu or virtualbox 03:05:20 but seeing how bhyve works wonders well you dont really need to install those 03:13:38 Yup, along with drm-kmod I would like to update net/wifibox. 03:14:53 not what that is as I removed and snapped my wifi cards from both desktops 03:14:59 sure* 03:17:01 Haha ... why? Could have left them alone (& blacklisted any offending drivers) 03:17:38 they werent supported and I cant have G speeds on gig net 05:25:34 Where would I find the make variable listed that would install packages for dependencies when building a port? 05:26:03 How can I configure freebsd 13 to print kernel boot messages on 0x2F8? 05:26:26 It keeps assigning 0x3F8 as /dev/console despite me explicitly putting this in loader.conf 05:26:44 hint.uart.0.flags="0x0" 05:26:48 hint.uart.1.flags="0x10" 05:27:03 (uart1 is xF8h 05:27:23 (uart1 is 2f8h) 05:28:58 Mentions the variables & steps but not the reference : https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/u8480z/comment/iu5djlb/?context=3 05:28:59 Title: patmaddox comments on Installing port dependencies as packages? 05:29:30 uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0 05:29:30 uart0: console (115200,n,8,1) 05:29:30 uart1: <16550 or compatible> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 flags 0x10 on acpi0 05:29:37 it's not LISTENING to my flags! 05:31:04 Ok. USE_PACKAGE_DEPENDS{,_ONLY} are mentioned in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk as comment 05:34:33 why would uart1 not become console despite flags 0x10? 05:39:44 sfox: is they keyboard plugged in? 05:54:21 rtprio, yes 05:54:25 a usb one 05:54:34 could that interfere? 05:55:42 yes, it could 05:55:50 have you reviewed https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/serialcomms/#serialconsole-howto ? 05:55:51 Title: Chapter 28. Serial Communications | FreeBSD Documentation Portal 05:56:24 (also, i only used lagg with lacp on a smart switch, roundrobin on a dumb one) 06:00:39 so you want a console yet you have a USB keyboard plugged in ? 06:09:50 I have a usb keyboard plugged in because i'm trying to make sure IPMI SOL is working before i unplug it and close the closet forever 06:11:12 another weird thing is that when things actually work and the kernel spits it's loading messages to the SOL port, " console comconsole failed to initialize" sprays across the bootloader screen 3 times 06:11:16 I've no idea where it comes from 06:12:12 rtprio, it's interesting to note roundrobin works without special switch configuration. I'd assume it'd have mac address flopping issues but i guess not 06:12:51 my switch DOES have LACP but apparently because it's not implemented in hardware and there's only a 1gbit internal interconnect between the switch cpu and the switch ASIC it's worthless 06:13:01 it's a mikrotik CRS125 06:13:20 i don't get much out of lacp either but it's just one of those homelab things 06:13:57 well, at the loader menu you can choose the console when you have a keyboard, but iirc you don't get to pick the com port 06:14:43 you have to set that in the kernel at compile time 06:17:00 oooooh 06:17:02 i see 06:17:16 /boot/device.hints conflicting with /boot/loader.conf hints 06:17:19 hopefully 06:19:34 normally you set the boot loader with the option for console first then keyboard 06:19:38 think its boot -P 06:19:51 so you would add a /boot.config with -P 06:20:10 this way the kernel uses the console regardless and if it fails goes back to keyboard 06:29:58 YES! It's finnaly working properly, without spraying errors 06:30:05 thankyou rtprio and cpet 06:30:34 turns out the IRQs and device addresses for the serial ports were wrong and swapping them around in /boot/device.hints fixed it 06:30:58 also the serial port speed can be set in loader.conf with comconsole_speed you don't have to recompile the kernel 06:31:07 make sure you change the speed 115200 is a lot better than 9600 06:31:13 yes 06:31:25 even though it look nice and retro when it takes 15 secs to scroll a single line 06:31:27 as it boots 06:32:13 only thing weird is that SOL after freebsd boots is chunky and jittery 06:32:28 vs SOL talking to the bootloader and BIOS is nice and smooth 06:32:32 without much delay 06:32:36 what is SOL i see that and I read shit outta luck 06:32:46 serial-over-lan 06:33:08 it's a service provided by the BMC (baseboard management controller) on server motherboards 06:33:34 it provides some out of band management functionality in a standard api (IPMI2.0) 06:33:54 it's a backdoor (the good kind you can actually control) 06:34:08 yeah I know about IPMI 06:34:35 serial is limited to even though its over LAN it would still spit out at 115200 baud which is still slow 06:34:48 basiclly, i'm using that because my BMC's KVM feature requires some java webstart thing to work which is broken 06:34:56 probably only works with java7 or something i don't know 06:35:10 so i'm using sol instead which doesn't require java and i can use GNU freeipmi 06:35:14 my IPKVM worked with some hacks 06:35:19 oh really? 06:35:26 I'd like to know your hacks 06:35:39 just using firefox and the java ext 06:35:40 I'm using an Asrock Rack Xeon-D board 06:35:51 then loading it and doing all the allowing java thinks is cool to do 06:36:10 I installed icedtea-netx but allowed it to run but when it tries to execute it just results in a stacktrace or a blank window 06:36:18 so the jnlp file is broken 06:36:46 i wish it were that simple 06:36:49 main system is windows so the HP system next to it is the BSD/VM/VNC system 06:38:46 guessing you are using one of the few non broken linux distros ? 06:39:24 Devuan 06:39:30 is that non broken? 06:40:00 grr. when I use vim in the serial console whenever i press home it changes the character under my cursor to a capital letter 06:40:03 what's up with that 07:01:20 dont think the console uses a keymap 07:12:32 cool! lagg failover works decently well 07:14:55 sfox, In vim the ~ character toggle case. So the current keymap must have a ~ in the sequence for that key. 07:16:04 You can dump the current keymap using "kbdcontrol". I suggest with -x for hex output "kbdcontrol -xd". 07:20:07 sfox, The ANSI terminal escape sequence for Home is ESC [ 1 ~ so it makes sense that this would eventually toggle case with ~ if that is not recognized as Home. 07:32:28 so i need to replace the terminal type in /etc/ttys with ansi instead of vt100? 07:32:47 or cons25 07:33:54 what is cons25? 07:34:57 what we used before it was changed to xterm 07:35:21 can i set the serial port to xterm? 07:35:29 what that cause a problem? 07:35:39 you can change it to any that is supported in the termfile 07:39:05 vt100 is the basis for the ansi terminal so, no, no need to change it. 07:39:24 I would not think anyway. I actually don't use vim at all so I don't know if vim needs that or not. 07:39:25 dont confuse the term emu and the keymap 07:39:43 You could try it on the fly with "env TERM=ansi vim" and see if that changes things before getting crazy changing other things. 07:40:42 great! 07:40:47 doesnt env show the env ? 07:40:55 setting xterm in /etc/ttys worked 07:41:22 "env" is the simple way to give a command that sets environment variables that works identically for all of csh, tcsh, sh, ksh, bash, zsh. 07:41:25 even though it's a serial port 07:42:03 rwp, interestingly enough the env TERM reads xterm-256color regardless of what's in /etc/ttys 07:42:06 always thoguth env shows setenv sets 07:42:10 Because on the sh side of the family tree one can "TERM=vt100 vim" and set the variable for that one command. But that does not work for csh, tcsh. 07:42:21 env without any arguments dumps the environment. 07:42:57 env is also typically used to invoke the given command on PATH. Often used in "#!/usr/bin/env ruby" and other uses. 07:43:45 sfox, "env TERM reads xterm-256color", huh, what, huh? What "reading" are we talking about there. 07:44:00 nevermind 07:44:14 i think it's time i stopped computering for the night 07:44:18 Okay. Neverminding. 07:44:19 thank you for the help 07:44:43 It's late for me too. But I am upgrading a system, the upgrade went bad due to a disk space problem, and now I am trying to sort things out. 07:44:57 Not a FreeBSD system, unfortunately, or it would be easier to fix. :-( 07:45:41 Got things onto an even keel. But now need to figure out the RoundCube upgrade, which apparently changed things. But that's the last on the broken list now. 07:46:11 Miles to go before I can sleep. No rest for the weary. 07:46:32 screw that ive learned long time ago 11:39:07 \ 11:39:31 good morning everyone 12:29:04 # ifconfig bridge0 ; ifconfig bridge0 create 12:29:04 ifconfig: interface bridge0 does not exist 12:29:04 ifconfig: interface bridge0 already exists 12:29:07 wha? 12:33:51 ghoti: there are 2 things that come to mind 12:34:09 first, does bridge0 exist after executing "ifconfig bridge0" 12:34:32 second, maybe it's renamed. For example, I have cbsd0 interface, which is actually bridge0 renamed to cbsd0 12:37:37 ghoti: to be precise, this is the relevant part of my /etc/rc.conf: https://bsd.to/LHWO 12:37:38 Title: dpaste/LHWO (Plain Text) 14:11:31 The only way to reload the kernel after freebsd-update is to reboot yes ? freebsd-version -kru gives me -p3, -p2, and -p4 in that order. 14:41:59 yes 14:47:37 someone has cpu issue and slowing with thunderbird ? 14:47:51 no 14:48:02 :( 14:48:04 thunderbird does automatically rehash its databases a lot though 14:48:10 so you could be suffering that 14:48:20 yes i allready fixed this one 14:48:35 but this is definitly not that now 14:48:50 all options are inaccessible 16:52:59 I love datacentre-grade networking 16:53:02 rsync 1.34G 100% 276.90MB/s 16:53:17 its so fast it didn't even have time to ramp up to max throughput 16:53:26 ha 16:54:20 time was, I could get a coffee from the cart outside before this was even half way through 16:56:38 a 17:41:24 hello 17:41:34 I am having a problem with my freebsd I am stuck in sddm 17:41:43 is there a way to escape it? 17:41:51 I tried ctrl + alt + f1 17:42:36 it might be the problem I am on virtual box 17:44:25 i thought it was f8 or f7, but i tend to try them all until it works 17:46:15 nothing is working 17:46:23 is there something that can be done? 17:47:41 ctrl-alt-backspace to kill x 17:48:26 or log in to the machine vie ssh (e.g. using your mobile phone) and kill Xorg 17:49:28 I found a way to get in with user session 17:49:39 Should you use the power button, do try to use ACPI shutdown, i.e. press it for a short time, not longer than 4 seconds. The system likely will shut down without damaging the file systems 17:49:39 ctrl alt backspace didn't work 17:53:33 interesting 17:53:41 how do I fix the issue? 17:54:27 It could be a problem with USB mouse or keyboard: happens sometimes. 17:54:49 no but I mean x no longer starts 17:54:55 it's vmware that could be the issue 17:55:04 because the vm ware escape key is ctrl + alt 17:55:47 x no longer starts is a different thing; what's on the screen when you're trying to buttonmash 17:55:48 You were sending the sequence to your lokal Xorg, not that in vmware ;-) 17:56:03 also, isn't there a "send keys" menu in virtualbox? 17:57:57 it's vmware not virtualbox unfortunately 17:58:05 I have virtualbox also but not my freebsd on it 18:00:56 https://termbin.com/ea8i 18:01:01 that's the Xorg log 18:01:22 it suddenly stopped working after an upgrade 18:03:02 are you starting x with `startx` ? 18:04:30 no it automatically does it 18:04:56 probably a good idea to remove it from rc.conf I guess 18:05:15 nothing looks wrong with that logfile; what did you upgrade from/to ? 18:05:36 i susspect the issue might be with your window manager? 18:05:44 so I set sddm_enable="NO" 18:06:01 maybe a small upgrade on vmware maybe an upgrade on freebsd 18:06:28 i don't know anything about sddm 18:06:30 say from 13.1-release-p2 to ..-p3 18:06:58 I'm rebooting now to see what it does 18:08:08 sddm is the password thing in the beginning that I couldn't escape from 18:10:37 and you can't log into sddm? 18:13:06 I can but then it goes to startx 18:13:14 and then I cannot get the x to work so it restarted 18:13:25 I removed and reinstalled it that didn't solve the problem 18:14:28 what do you mean 'it goes to startx'? do you have an .xinitrc file and what's in it? 18:15:35 I mean it attempts to boot x after password entered and then since x fails it returns almost immediately loops back 18:16:11 I am getting these errors warning: could not resolve keysym xf86kbdLcdMenu1 18:19:52 rtprio : xinitrc is found at https://termbin.com/un3f 18:28:28 when I do Xorg -configure I get 18:52:20 think that is know to not work very well 18:52:28 and xorg should just support all the things 18:53:04 what do you mean? 18:53:36 it has seg faulted for years to a point the handbook says not to use it 18:54:09 Video cards, monitors, and input devices are automatically detected and do not require any manual configuration.

Crashing out is not the intended behavior of Xorg -configure - if it is, then X11 is truly abandoned 19:34:17 I'm just going to wait for the kde to install if there's an issue after than I will be back 19:37:18 Any freebsd compatible recommendations on a decent webcam or some sort of device, phone, dedicated video recorder that can shoot high quality production videos in low light? whats the starting point/lowest budget for this? 19:41:59 hello 19:42:08 let me get out of root I guess 19:43:46 o: 19:44:53 Sircle, might be easier to start by finding out which webcams or recorders suit your lighting and quality requirements, then check whether FreeBSD supports them. 19:45:57 hello back 19:46:02 so yes I got it to work as root 19:46:14 but then if I sign in as a user it flashes the screen out of control and no luck 19:46:27 I didn't mean to make this today's project 19:46:35 I have enough things to do in the next 3 weeks 19:46:43 after I can spend a week on it 19:46:57 would be nice if it work 19:46:59 worked 19:47:54 V_PauAmma_V thanks 19:48:31 any idea why xfce would work fine for root but not for a user? 19:49:16 I have to add them to video group maybe? 20:06:24 what a headache 20:06:34 this has taken way longer than I wanted it to 20:15:45 it seriously shouldn't be this complicated 20:20:19 hello it worked 20:20:29 not fully but somewhat it's working 20:20:59 it's got bugs like I can log in as kiwichap but I can't login as sixpiece with the sddm not sure why 20:29:48 is there any way to break out of the sddm? 20:29:52 with vmware? 20:30:19 same way you break from any other X11 DM; i.e. send C-M-Fn 20:30:25 where n is a number 20:30:33 what is M? 20:30:43 C is CTRL? 20:31:09 C is CTRL? what is M? 20:31:16 M is Alt 20:31:44 but the problem is that with VM ware its ctrl and alt is to escape 20:31:55 M is Meta which on most keyboards maps to Alt. Technically would be Esc as well. 20:32:29 I found it 20:32:44 it's like CTRL + ALT + spacebar but then just release space bar 20:32:52 hm 20:33:06 VMWare should allow you to change to a differentkey 20:33:34 they don't virtualbox does though 20:34:05 damnit 20:43:13 it can be configured here on vmware workstation 20:43:50 is there a way to see what is causing gpart delete (deleting one partition) to fail with "Device busy" ? 20:45:19 normally doesnt support what your doing or youre cd'ed into the device or mounted 20:46:21 I am trying to upgrade to workstation 17 maybe this is the problem that disrupted my harmonious happy freebsd 20:46:27 like the small upgrade I made 20:46:43 I just did the upgrade going to restart the computer now 20:46:57 what the hell is workstation 17 20:47:22 vmware :( 20:55:46 is there any way I can get out of this? 20:56:02 /part ? 20:56:29 I am in xfce now as non root 20:56:35 but I want to be able to get to root 20:56:46 logout and login as user ? 20:56:52 fire up a terminal and su - ? 20:57:06 I tried that it says sorry 20:57:10 open a term and sudo.su to root 20:57:20 press ctrl alt f2 and login to root in console 20:57:24 not found 20:57:33 remove the . 20:57:38 I cannot type f2 because vmware regular doesn't allow it 20:58:06 I dont know I dont run OS in vm's 20:58:08 password doesn't work 20:58:12 even though it does 20:58:29 there's no way to get out ? lol 20:58:36 in the booting stage? 20:59:02 maybe there's a fake keyboard 20:59:34 take your phone out and start googling for vmware shortcuts ? 20:59:55 I figured it out lol 20:59:58 also this isnt #vmware ;/ 21:00:16 cause you know we have to stay on topic 21:00:16 I'm not sure yet but there's a keyboard shortcuts on xfce and I changed it to alt and escape 21:00:16 good god. 21:00:44 guess he didint add hios user to wheel 21:00:59 probably not 21:01:17 it just killed the chat.. 21:01:46 what? :/ 21:02:39 kiwichap: are you able to escape a C-M-F3 into the VM and get a root or toor shell from which to add your user to wheel? 21:02:49 no 21:03:43 but I can restart but I guess there's no way to stop that part of the boot process? 21:04:29 honestly dont know what the issue is 21:04:49 lol 21:05:05 I want to be able to use as root as sudo create users as a username 21:05:18 I don't want to be like not able to ever install a program here 21:05:47 use a virtual keyboard and press ctrl alt f2 21:05:53 at the prompt loing as root 21:05:58 and add yourself to wheel 21:06:06 this way you can open a term and su as root 21:06:12 then you can install sudo or doas 21:06:40 and possibly dont run vmware in full screen without reading up on short cuts 21:07:14 or do what I do and buy 1 x SSD per OS installed 21:09:08 I guess just reinstall it on virtualbox? 21:09:12 or like hyperv 21:09:20 and delete this one? 21:09:28 it was a lot of effort getting the sound working ,e tc.. 21:09:37 but I guess I will be able to figure it out 21:09:53 is there any other option? 21:12:33 still dont know what the issue is hah 21:12:35 is there a way to change the steps of the rc.conf? 21:12:42 ok cpet I will try to explain it 21:12:46 I did some upgrades 21:12:53 freebsd and vmware 21:13:04 then all of a sudden the windows part no longer works 21:13:14 so you upgraded without reading the issues involved 21:13:31 so I tried a few things and got it to work in root and thought ok you guys won't like it if I am here in root 21:13:47 so then I enabled sddm in rc.conf and did a restart 21:14:02 never understood the root thing but yeah 21:14:08 now I can enter xfce in the user account of kiwichap but not sixpiece and not root 21:14:21 I cannot exit the xfce environment 21:14:29 mouse doesnt work ? 21:14:32 which means I will no longer be able to upgrade, install apps 21:14:37 mouse works 21:14:58 but suppose I wanted an app like tmux or java or whatever I cannot install 21:15:13 clickon applications then Terminal su -u sixpiece 21:15:24 then su to root if allowed 21:15:37 I would add that user to wheel as well 21:15:51 it says illegal option 21:16:08 easy said not easily done 21:16:11 su sixpiece 21:16:30 that worked 21:16:41 thank you 21:16:47 does that user in the wheel group 21:16:53 is that* 21:17:20 pw groupmod wheel -m username 21:17:34 should not have any issues after that I would install sudo as well 21:19:13 apparently not 21:19:15 I didn't add correctly 21:19:52 did you add that user to video group as well ? 21:20:33 apparently not 21:21:01 how do you add? 21:21:09 pw groupmod wheel -m username 21:21:15 change wheel to video 21:22:18 it's not adding the users 21:22:21 is that eveb required any more 21:23:29 it's weird 21:23:36 https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/ 21:23:37 Title: Chapter 5. The X Window System | FreeBSD Documentation Portal 21:24:17 should I just use this as root user now? 21:24:27 cause without sddm I can get in as root 21:24:30 you can do whatever you want its your PC 21:24:44 but with sddm I can get in as kiwichap but no sudo or video group 21:24:57 yes that's nice to know but I mean like lol 21:25:25 nice thing about Unix* is you can customize it to your liking 21:25:28 if you let me make the microcontroller and told me I was free to do it however I want don't be surprised when we get 8086 back in fashion 21:25:32 may not be recomended or std but hey 21:25:58 microprocessor sorry 21:26:20 yes but I am having trouble with the system that's what I am saying 21:26:31 well us something to work with then 21:26:37 saying it doesnt work wont help you much 21:26:46 I was explaining it 21:27:18 then all of a sudden the windows part no longer works 21:27:36 with xfce I have a choice : rc.conf -> enable sddm or not => if yes -> root only for xfce otherwise else kiwichap with xfce 21:27:48 or just use commandprompt 21:28:06 why not login as user and sudo/su to root? 21:28:19 I guess that works 21:28:20 you said you cant logout or what not which tells me something is broke 21:28:42 I can logout but I couldn't get out of xfce 21:29:05 you logout it should go back to sddm or console 21:29:13 again no errors makes it hard to help you 21:29:35 normally if you type ctrl + alt + f1 it will allow this but cause I am on vMware and it's a virtual machine the VMware is not licensed so they purposely will not allow you to type the CTRL+ALT 21:30:27 exactly if I leave it enabled then it will go to sddm 21:30:32 if I disable it 21:30:44 then I can get to command prompt presumably 21:30:45 you are using a non free VM 21:31:03 get VB which is free and stop using prop software ;/ 21:31:59 both vm ware and virtualbox are not free but the virtualbox pretends to not notice whether you are complying with the free terms whereas vmware doesn't take the risk and adds inconveniences to encourage one to pay for it 21:32:16 and I paid for hyperV 21:32:17 since when is VB not free ? 21:32:53 it's always been not free if you are using it for commercial purposes, etc.. 21:33:28 similar agreement as VMware except VMware blocks off features on the free version whereas VirtualBox gives it the same either way 21:33:39 so you dont download it from virtualbox.org ? 21:33:44 you do 21:33:46 only thing thats not free is the USB crap 21:33:58 https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk 21:34:41 https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/COPYING 21:34:43 GPL3 21:36:16 why can't I add kiwichap to sudoers? 21:36:33 you have to do some reading 21:36:43 all this is basic stuff in handbook or man visudo 21:38:12 but sixpiece is in the sudoers 21:38:21 it's called wheel, not sudoers, on freebsd 21:38:27 and why doesn't sixpiece's name show up in the sign in of sddm? 21:38:31 right 21:38:35 is there a sixpiece account? 21:38:47 yes there is a sixpiece account 21:38:49 lol 21:38:53 weird. 21:38:57 I wasted my whole day on this 21:39:02 and I actually had stuff to do 21:39:08 maybe take a break, and get a hypervisor worth usingc 21:39:11 asshole 21:39:13 leave 21:39:31 ... yeah I'm getting too escalated, that oatmeal is not good for me 21:39:38 what do you mean? 21:39:41 oh thank you 21:39:47 first off Molnija 21:39:55 and cpet especially 21:39:59 as well as others 21:40:34 but I guess I suppose I could take a break now on this and figure out these bugs later 21:41:21 I didn't mean to say wasted sorry about that 21:41:27 blerg 21:41:39 well if you cant figure out priorities that aint my fault 21:41:49 Linux is the more hand-holdey of the unix-likes 21:42:00 I just meant I was hoping I didn't get held up on the system I did gentoo, arch , opensuse, solaris 21:42:01 and the VM stuff for it is generally better than for W*nd*ws 21:42:11 took me almost a yr to finally setup bhyve with 2 VM 21:42:13 and was hoping I just spend an hour or so and upgrade everything 21:42:21 wow 21:42:23 that was your first mistake 21:42:24 so try booting Linux on the host 21:42:42 it works I also did oracle linux 21:42:51 figured getting a job after being discharged was more important than making or figuring out how bhyve works 21:42:57 cpet: oh do sod off with this barrage of acrimony that serves only to escalate everyone 21:43:11 exactly and I have deadlines with school 21:43:19 and so I didn't mind to spend a day but I mean 21:43:35 and then it still doesn't really work the way I would like it to 21:43:59 partiton your drive and install it ? 21:44:16 you should just use VB really 21:45:22 if you didnt get a student discount for updating to pro you did it wrong ;/ 21:45:30 well visudo was a good idea even though it was basic I hadn't done it apparently 21:48:27 how do I add kiwichap to wheel? 21:48:52 ffs 21:49:40 pw groupmod -wheel -m kiwichap 21:49:49 pw groupmod wheel -m kiwichap 21:50:08 why doesn't it work? 21:50:37 i dont know 21:51:44 well I guess I will accept it for now 21:51:47 thank you cpet 21:52:00 I will try to actually get something done with whatever is left of the day 21:52:22 not that this is not effective it's just it's not something I was asked to do 21:52:24 pw groupmod wheel -m root,kiwichap 21:52:33 (as root) 21:52:40 is that a comma? 21:52:58 yes, it means adding both root and kiwichap to wheel 21:53:13 a capital M means replacing the member list 21:53:15 no it won't go 21:53:35 I was thinking maybe from command prompt it will but not if the change is made in xfce 21:53:36 you have to do it as root 21:53:42 yes that is done 21:53:52 what does "it won't go" mean? 21:54:05 "it doesn't work" is a chocolate teapot, as diagnostics go 21:54:07 if done in X you need to logout and login 21:54:26 if I type groups kiwichap it will show me wheel kiwichap as root but then as soon as I type exit 21:54:50 kiwichap@bsd: ~ $ groups I get only kiwichap 21:54:52 you have to log out and log back in 21:54:59 because your groups only get added to new logins 21:55:08 ok I can try that 21:55:13 root is the god of all gods on a unix system a user cant do much 21:55:15 thanks 21:55:23 same as linux and solaris, btw 21:55:26 be right back 21:55:30 if that users isnt uid 0 it pretty much has no rights 21:55:43 thank you 21:55:46 so it cant add users or groups 21:55:48 be right back 21:57:17 chris@hp:~ % pw groupmod wheel -m chris 21:57:18 pw: gr_tmp(): Permission denied 21:58:06 hris@hp:~ % sudo pw groupmod wheel -m chris 21:58:07 Password: 21:58:07 chris@hp:~ % 21:58:28 uid=1001(chris) gid=1001(chris) groups=1001(chris),0(wheel) 21:58:55 uid=1001(chris) gid=1001(chris) groups=1001(chris),0(wheel),44(video) 21:59:36 thank you cnet 21:59:38 it works now 21:59:48 I will fix the other bugs later 22:00:39 I guess I will fix the last one 22:01:21 fix or ask ? :) 22:01:44 both probably 22:01:55 I mean I am searching it online at the same time 22:01:56 heh 22:02:56 ok it didn't work 22:03:03 I guess it's now ask :) 22:05:02 ok 22:07:40 be right back going to test my changes 22:07:55 I used a command vipw carefully edited it but I think I still can't sign in 22:08:33 normally when you mess with the passwd file you do more harm than good this is why we have pw 22:10:22 I think I will just erase sixpiece 22:10:30 maybe that will be easier 22:10:42 adduser 22:10:52 it didn't work 22:11:03 pw usermod chris -m username 22:11:08 I have a user that works and I can get to the command prompt if needed 22:11:28 what does that do? 22:11:31 again you cant add a user as a user 22:13:00 ok 22:13:08 think at this point I have to just say read a BSD book heh 22:13:09 you mean a regular user cannot use X? 22:13:35 I don't understand what you mean on that? 22:13:46 sixpiece was my prime user but all of a sudden 22:14:03 really find it hard to beleive vmware cause this much issue 22:14:12 all it does is run a disk image and boots it that is it 22:14:37 I don't know if it was that or upgrading from p2 to p3 22:14:40 lol 22:14:50 one or the other or inertia lol 22:15:20 I once locked myself out cause I enabled tcpwrappers 22:15:28 took the admins longer to fix it than to just reinstall 22:15:30 :) 22:15:39 lol 22:16:24 ok I guess I can leave it 22:16:59 root is like a CEO a user is a peon who cant do much without the CEO saying so 22:17:13 he's gone now and I kept the home directory 22:17:19 guess I should s/CEO/Manager 22:17:30 lol 22:17:43 I'm going to get to my other stuff 22:22:11 thank you cpet 22:38:46 root is like the admin who controls the locks, you are the CEO. You tell root what to do. 22:42:11 so keyholder ? 23:02:09 kind of yeah 23:02:50 thats the guy that I had in mine when thinking that up, from a place I worked at - we had a lot of sites, and only a few people had a master key to all the sites (I was one of them, network nerd privs) 23:03:20 he had the master key to the building where they made master keys, which was the one building i could not get into with mine 23:23:40 I am the KeyMaster. 23:23:48 I am the GateKeeper
