00:00:45 Pssst. All words are made up. 00:01:22 No!? You don't say. 00:12:05 Hello everyone! 00:12:35 It looks like someone got the kernel at least running on AllWinner D1. Is there any hope for HDMI? 00:15:30 What architecture is that? Some RISC? 00:15:53 RISC-V 00:16:24 It is probably the first cheap RV SBC... 00:16:54 As in less than 40$. 00:19:03 It's based on T-Head's OpenC906. 00:19:25 Only the core, though. 02:58:00 having a difficult time geting X/Mate to work 03:04:08 I am not running Mate but am running X. What is the behavior? 03:06:57 rwp: most of my prob im sure is that i cant see the screen, as per vision loss. but couldnt connect to Xserver, cant run from a console session. im not sure if mate installed properly. i dont see it listed in sessions 03:10:36 How are you starting X? Using an xdm X Display Manager like xdm, gdm, slim, lightdm? Or logging in and using xinit, startx? 03:11:46 Are you able to read my text here okay? Or is this going through a screen reader? 03:46:49 rwp: so sory was helping my son with steam, yes using a csreenreader mate, gnome-orca or just orca now 03:47:18 rwp: i want to use lightdm as it usually is quite good but anything that orca will launch is acceptable 03:47:34 or also ahppy to just use startx, my xinitrc is basic though 04:51:44 Fudge, Okay. You would like to install lightdm. Have you? Or have you been trying startx? 04:52:12 I customize my .xinitrc file so I use xinit. startx is the same but uses the system default .xinitrc file. 04:53:15 If you tried to start X with startx then the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log will log the results including errors. Errors are marked with "EE" on the line. 04:54:41 Also for my graphics adaptor I must modify the file /etc/rc.conf by adding kld_list="radeonkms" 04:55:05 It is possible that you will need to modify your file /etc/rc.conf for your specific graphics hardware too. I don't know. 04:59:19 rwp: it's a little lenovo, think it is intel 05:00:32 ill read the log 05:01:58 i dont hhave any generated conf there memory serves you can configure one and then copy that to the usr/local/ confdir. is it Xorg -configure? 05:02:22 log is complaining missing sections as the only conf i have in the xorg.conf.d directory is a driver-intel.conf 05:10:16 rwp: i have a xorg.conf i generated, moved it into place 05:14:48 ok installed slim, ive added mounting of proc to fstab but am stuck on enabling hald, im not sure what the package is called 05:50:09 wasnt hald removed in favor or something else ? 05:54:21 devd 05:59:12 What has led you to think you need to do something with hald? 05:59:20 I have no idea anything about hald. Never heard of it. I didn't do anything about it. Haven't enabled it. 06:07:45 back in the day you needed to enable hald to get devices to work for such WM as xfce 06:08:03 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_%28software%29 06:08:05 Title: HAL (software) - Wikipedia 06:35:42 As far as I can tell hald is the old way of doing things but is now deprecated with devd being the current default. 06:35:57 yes I said that 06:38:15 just updated bsd, to p4 and restarted, but uname a shows this : FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3 06:38:31 further update tells that all update to p4 is installed 06:38:44 freebsd-version 06:38:59 is p4 06:39:05 thank you come again 06:39:06 but uname is p3 ... 06:39:48 should I worry about that ? 06:39:50 not all patches require a kernel recompile 06:40:07 on a different machine it become p4 ... 06:41:23 what did you do on that machine that you didint dso on this one 06:41:43 nothing :) 06:41:49 freebsd-update fetch install 06:41:59 then pkg update && pkg upgrade -fy 06:42:07 no reboot ? 06:42:13 both rebooted 06:43:48 if freebsd-version says p4 I wouldn't worry about it 06:44:12 ok, thanks 06:44:18 see if my VM says p4 06:44:56 I need to update hah 06:45:01 :D 06:45:25 if u host php things, the default php is now 81 06:45:50 sense yesterday 06:48:27 yeah I dont see a kernel so it will stay at p3 06:55:35 cpet, thanks ! 06:56:21 i guess the difference where one machine where updated from p2 -> p4 and the one with p4 is from p3->p4 06:56:56 the only thing that changes uname is a new kernel 06:57:35 * cpet updates php80 06:57:35 thank you ! now I'm relaxed 09:07:34 hi ya 09:09:35 hi 09:17:49 megaTherion: how is your day thus far 09:18:19 first coffee, got up .. its around 10:18 here :( 09:18:36 but well not too bad, its sunday at least 09:18:59 819pm here 09:19:06 bet youre glad for the sleep in 09:19:33 yup 09:19:56 my moring coffe is a mocha 09:21:08 megaTherion: ive been trying to get X running unsuccessfully. my /usr/local/etc/X11/xort.cond.d directory has driver-intel.conf and xorg.conf in it from X -configure 09:21:10 cool :) 09:21:15 oh X 09:21:27 on what machine? 09:21:39 ill get the model, it's a lenovo 09:21:59 Lenovo ideacentre 510S-07ICB 09:21:59 whats Xorg.0.log showing? 09:22:38 best way to run is just sstartx right, my .xinitrc is pointing at mate-session which is installed 09:22:55 you always get a log 09:23:03 regardless how you run it 09:24:04 just checking what it is, its an all-in-one device ok 09:24:19 yes 09:24:24 Intel UHD 630 09:24:36 just installing wgetpaste 09:24:57 you have xf86-video-intel installed? 09:25:28 devices detected but none match what is in the config file 09:26:04 likely not, i remembered something today about installing video xorg drivers 09:26:11 yes its missing the driver then 09:26:16 no it wasnt 09:26:33 pretty sure i always just used to use etiher dummy or vesa 09:26:50 uhh? 09:27:03 vesa is close to useless on modern hw 09:28:23 xorg.wrap only console users are allowed to run the server 09:28:47 well dummy as it is usually headless and vesa as being blind dont really need to use anything important 09:29:02 so you want to run Xorg for remote purposes? 09:30:42 nah i do want to run it on the machine in front of me but the screen output is only ever important if i nee dsomeone to look at the screen for me 09:32:05 ... 09:32:20 if you want to start X properly then you need the intel driver *shrugs* 09:33:45 yes it said it failed to load 09:34:06 loading intel, coudnt load module intel 09:34:16 i think it is looking in /usr/local/share though 09:52:07 megaTherion: night 13:15:19 hello, can I compile php80 ? 13:15:44 poudriere automatically compiles php81 13:18:13 nerozero: this is what I have in my pkglist file www/nextcloud@php80 13:18:34 So use whatever php version as flavor 13:19:41 nerozero, are you asking about PHP 8.0 itself, or compiling other ports for use with that version? 13:21:31 no, i need PHP itself 13:21:58 poudriere list: lang/php80 13:22:03 compiles php81 13:27:16 and can I have both 81 and 80 in poudriere ? 13:32:30 yes 13:35:22 ok, ignore me, i'm an idiot .... I was trying to install package with a version included which where upgraded ... 13:35:33 sorry guys, thank you for help 16:10:03 here's a silly question. can I build an time based backdoor in freebsd? say the customer wants to debug some things, but we don't actually give them root, instead we use an OTP thingie 16:10:07 has anyone tried that? 16:10:32 no 16:10:45 think that was removed for being old 16:12:47 Okay, I see opie in the system right now, I'll try that 16:13:06 it will be removed in 14 16:16:00 :( 16:16:11 cpet any idea if there's an alternative? 16:17:30 give them root ? 16:21:01 or sudo access to a specific executable 16:21:03 sudo? you can restrict what they can do a little bit with sudo, but afaik it isn't made well 18:32:59 what are you saying, you can restrict a lot with sudo 18:34:20 yeah, but you patternmatch on command strings for example, instead of on argument arrays 18:34:36 antranigv: you can set an expiration date in the account, along with a cronjob to kill any processes they have open at the time 18:52:31 or stick every user in a jail and just nuke the jail :D 18:53:08 wheres the fun it that ? 19:06:33 daemon: sure, but he said the user needed to debug some things, presumably things that are on the system itself, not a random jail 19:09:27 you can debug software as a user 19:17:50 sudo can restrict on argument lists too. 19:17:51 But if someone needs to debug something and needs root to debug something then trying to restrict them is just going to frustrate everyone involved. 19:22:23 i would just cancel 19:22:25 heh 19:28:23 I see several choices. 1) BOFH not do anything 2) give root away so they can debug it 3) recreate the problem in a jail and let them debug in the jail 4) debug the problem yourself 19:28:48 give them root 19:28:51 do they pay for it 19:29:03 The safest option all around would be to reproduce the problem in a jail. 19:29:30 what is this a shared server ? 19:29:39 even VPS 19:29:41 Meanwhile... I don't think anyone has mentioned the nature of the problem. It really could be anything. So who knows what is actually happening. 19:29:42 's give you rtoot 19:29:44 root 19:30:03 if he messes things up its on him 19:30:25 this is where you get money to fix it for him then charge 19:30:36 doing it this way you miss out on possible monies 19:31:06 could go a bit fruiter and recreate it in bhyve 19:31:13 We don't know the details. What if the customer that needed to debug the problem was your mom? The devil is in the details. 19:31:16 zfs snapshots etc reproduce the enviroment 19:31:48 also the BOFH option would involve carpet's and lime ;) 19:32:13 Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. That type of thing? :-) 19:32:22 rwp, lets not go there ok? 19:32:40 Here is a debug ethernet adapter, you plug the other end into the mains outlet to do live debugging; indeed :P 19:33:14 The reason jails would be more apropos than bhyve is that the problem, whatever it is, is existent in the current system. So it does not need a different OS running. And then jails are just easier. 19:33:32 you know im not sure if they are 19:33:37 ask user what it is 19:33:46 depending on what service he bought its either yes or no 19:33:59 I would say bhyve and jails are pretty much the same level of complexity, the only difference is what you are used to 19:34:03 ded server vs VPS vs shell 19:34:18 dont think you have mentioned that 19:34:52 16:10, here's a silly question. can I build an time based backdoor in freebsd? say the customer wants to debug some things, but we don't actually give them root, instead we use an OTP thingie 19:34:52 16:10, has anyone tried that? 19:35:13 that doesnt mention anythign i said 19:35:19 is it a shell VPS server 19:35:26 well yeah I was dragging it down as it was ^ up there 19:35:27 for context 19:35:29 is it software HW some weird shit done in ASM ? 19:35:34 does it actually require root 19:35:34 antranigv, ? 19:36:08 no matter what it is, there is no realistically reason the system could not be cloned and run somewhere 19:36:21 which surely would be the safest path 19:36:24 staging system style 19:37:05 well if the user bought a "server" i expect root on it 19:37:12 but again he hasnt mentioned his setup 19:37:31 or software I can possibly build it faster than the time he has been here heh 19:42:28 :) 19:42:41 that's not fair all of us have icantbearsed.sh 19:42:42 :P 19:42:59 daemon, life isnt fair 19:43:23 tell me about it I learned perl so I could deal with freebsd 4.x and ended up a developer for it -_- 19:43:45 gop tinker with openbsd ports 19:43:48 still uses perl 19:44:21 perl is the glue that binds the universe together; it comes up everywhere 19:44:26 even now 19:44:32 sadly yes 19:44:56 ~ modern perl actually is not so bad, but there is a lot .... A LOT of the older stuff out there 19:46:04 One of the best things about Perl is that they take backward compatibility very seriously. Very rare to break an old working script. 19:46:22 Which makes it one of the most reliable and solid languages in the system. 19:51:16 unless you use perl6/raku, and even then a lot of things still work it seems. 19:52:01 perl6/raku is no longer officially the next version of perl. Now Raku is just a separate language that is available. 19:52:20 ye perl 7 / perl 5.34 19:52:30 which is just perl 5 with warnings stricts and signatures 19:53:49 to be honset after what must be 15 years of perl, I find my self secretly going to see the secret mistress of rust on my off hours lol 19:54:39 Rust and Go-lang are the two new rising stars. But have you tried to bootstrap Rust from scratch! OMG! It's quite the challenge. 19:54:40 i have more hatred towardfs OS than languages 19:57:34 I mean ... I do not really have hate more or less either way 19:58:06 I came to the conclusion a while ago that freebsd does well on servers, linux as a guest to bhyve on said servers (for docker etc) and windows on desktop 19:58:15 and it all just smushes together quite nicely so you can have everything 19:58:55 meanwhile I would be curious about a rust based API for web services, some js or php client thing for people to look at or maybe perl/mojo with postgres/redis doing the data storage 19:59:02 eh ~ everything has its place 19:59:02 I was right there with you, right up until "windows on desktop" and at that point you lost me. Nope. Nope. Nope. :-) 19:59:34 I play a few games here and there windows is easier for me to deal with :) 19:59:46 I think a lot of BSD'ers use mac for there desktop driver though 20:00:01 :( 20:00:32 I am running Devuan on the desktop, have a Windows VM for the games I enjoy. (Those games are not high demanding graphics games though.) 20:01:05 dislike systemd? :D 20:01:21 But on this desktop upon which I am typing it is a native bare metal FreeBSD system. And I am slowly working through the problems of FreeBSD on mobile laptops. 20:02:16 I had the fun of trialling both linux and freebsd in 'desktop mode' on my home system, (the one im typing on now) both of which crashed brutally, the only linux I could get to even vaguelly work was gentoo; which looked bizzare 20:02:17 Me? Dislike systemd? Let me put it this way. https://preview.redd.it/v58nvac1rl1a1.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=4cc143f837530384ce3b82b3d308a5402ed42af9 20:02:45 I can't fault you for that I use gentoo/openrc for my bhyve clients lol 20:03:32 Also the Devuan community is very friendly and helpful. It pains me that I can no longer describe the Debian community similarly. 20:04:35 absolutely no opposition there it was my alt-linux for quite a while 20:04:39 when I needed one to just install and work 20:04:46 it still is technically 20:05:28 For people who want a desktop with a rolling release then I find Void to be quite reasonable and enjoyable for a bleeding edge desktop OS. 20:05:45 ~ is that the same flavour or profile as Manjaro 20:05:56 For people who want compact and efficient then Alpine is most often used for containers for that reason. 20:06:44 I believe that was percisely why alpine was created for docker stuff 20:06:56 I do thank systemd though for causing me to re-evaluate things and rediscover FreeBSD. I have been ramping up my FreeBSD and have been enjoying it greatly. 20:07:01 it does not even use glibc it has ... something else I can't remember the name of 20:07:16 MUSL is the small compact libc on Alpine that is not glibc. 20:07:23 gotcha 20:07:24 daemon, libc 20:08:01 there is another one as well, uslibc or something I need to try LFS again 20:08:05 At one time there was a branch of Alpine that included glibc so it isn't impossible there but that is no longer active. Moribund. 20:09:33 uclibc 20:09:47 daemon, What type of system crash problems were you having? That is usually a hardware problem but I recently had to give up on nVidia due to the nouveau driver becoming unstable in Unstable. 20:10:21 rwp, both the proprietary and nouvue(sp?) driver for X crashed with the card I have 20:10:32 Client: HexChat 2.16.1 • OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (x64) • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor (4.20GHz) • Memory: 63.9 GiB Total (47.6 GiB Free) • Storage: 1.2 TiB / 1.8 TiB (626.6 GiB Free) • VGA: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 • Uptime: 1w 0d 1h 24m 9s 20:10:38 3060 20:10:41 I am fortunate in that as a craphound I have a variety of different bits of kit available such that mixing and matching until supportable hardware is available is possible for me. 20:11:18 You had problems with nVidia. I had problems with nVidia. Others have been reporting problems. Hmm... Seems to be a trend line in there somewhere... :-) 20:11:41 though linux also had problems I think its because my resolution combined across screens is so nutty 20:12:05 I switched graphics adaptors to an AMD GPU for my dual monitors and have not had any problems. 20:13:18 daemon, what is taking up so much eh? 20:13:18 heh 20:14:15 https://i.imgur.com/VfFloSF.png 20:14:16 ^ 20:14:53 Nice. You see me I would have made that a 2x2 grid. :-) 20:15:13 it won't work 20:15:19 I had that idea too 20:15:30 but the ultra widescreen in the middle and the two side screens do not equate equally 20:15:34 also there different Hz 20:15:44 the two side screens are 60's the middle is 144Hz 20:15:55 also there different dpi's 20:16:00 Gotcha. Oh well. 20:16:09 i just use the pc ;/ 20:16:13 im not sure if its my gpu or screen layout that causes an issue 20:16:22 but yeah linux nor bsd appreciate it 20:17:06 nor does the proprietary nvidia driver though that when you try to use it in either OS hard locks the system 20:17:19 i may use one of these monitors for the BSD machine VNCing isnt cutting it 20:18:00 never get a UXWA screen seriously they are not worth the pain 20:18:07 even in windows, every game needs mods 20:18:12 nothing supports it really 20:18:25 these are two LEGION Lenovos 20:18:35 one connected using display port other HDMI 20:19:09 kinda crappy could net get display port to both, limited by ports on the card? 20:19:15 s/net/not/ 20:21:07 cpet my PC personal computers are either Devuan or FreeBSD. PC is the hardware not the software! 20:21:56 Windows VNC into FreeBSD or OpenBSD 20:21:58 Anyway... I must drop afk for a while.
