01:51:45 at the grocery store and I get not one but three security emails and I go into a panic as I shove things in the cart and scurry away to get back home and to a terminal... to which i then get sidetracked 03:12:39 What happend to koobs ? haven't seen him in a couple of days. 05:19:20 jb1277976: Working through storage issues. 06:43:56 mason: storage as in technology right? 08:49:26 FreeBSD-SA-22:15.ping sucks :-) But anyway. Is this related only to FBSD? 08:49:44 As there is not much information available to the CVE or elsewhere.. 09:43:28 ping is in base and (as far as I can tell) not contributed software, but I'm unable to tell how long that vulnerability has been present. If long enough, it may have been inherited from Net/2, and thus maybe also present in other BSDs. 10:14:21 spicy... 10:49:25 <_xor> rtprio: That's probably true. 10:49:51 <_xor> rtprio: Thankfully, this is just for me (for now at least). If anyone else has interest in it, then great, but it'll have a very clear warning on the label. 10:50:28 <_xor> I'm working my way through the headers right now and figuring out the necessary types that need to be generated for this FFI layer. 10:50:36 <_xor> *bindings 10:52:49 * _xor keeps forgetting about the currently ongoing DNS issues 10:53:10 <_xor> Tried to open up the developer's handbook and I was very quickly reminded. 10:53:24 * _xor is now generating a pdf from freebsd-doc.git 12:46:01 Hey, quick question freebsd 13 and 14 does not support my wireless card on one of my laptop. (bug is open on freebsd bug). The linux kernel has a driver for it https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921 . Can we do something with this source to compile it ? Is there a utility or process to follow that can produce the .ko usable by freebsd kernel, without 12:46:02 Title: linux/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7921 at master · torvalds/linux · GitHub 12:46:07 being a kernel dev ? 12:48:51 shlTlord: try wifibox 12:50:26 Not without being somewhat knowledgeable of that, I think. There's a Linux KPI shim, but my impression is using it still requires more care than just dropping in driver source code and expecting it to compile and run. 12:54:34 meka: this https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox ? 12:54:35 Title: GitHub - pgj/freebsd-wifibox: wifibox: Use Linux to drive your wireless card on FreeBSD 12:54:54 I mean, "pkg search wifibox" 12:55:09 and then install the one for your wifi, it is supported 12:55:23 meka: thanks will check ! 14:13:29 V_PauAmma_V: affraid to not have enough skills for that :/ 14:21:35 * V_PauAmma_V nods at shlTlord. 14:22:52 https://mwl.io/ this channel might appreciate this link more than #linux did 14:22:53 Title: Michael W Lucas – "Sufficiently Amusing Author" 14:24:38 #Linux needs a bot to check links like VimDiesel. Thanks brotha. 14:30:35 is the proper way to have a GUI in freebsd nowadays entirely xwayland? 14:35:09 I use X for all my GUI needs 14:42:12 I don't think there's One Proper Way. I use XFCE, although some apps seem to depend on wayland too. Maybe they're bimodal apps. 14:47:33 thanks 14:47:56 ive recently has to reinstall the bootdisk on a 13-stable system 14:48:11 it uses nvidia-driver-470 14:48:47 ive followed all the instructions in the handbook but what results is a blank screen with a cursor in the top left 14:49:37 some of the handbook instructions seem contradictory/incomplete 14:50:55 xorg.conf is required it seems yet the handbook discourages its use 14:52:46 im also trying to get xfce to work. have also tried kde, same result. maybe theres a problem with the driver 15:00:39 when the driver installs, it completes but there's this message 15:00:46 (nvidia-driver-470-470.141.03) /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-470/work/stage//usr/local/lib/libnvidia-vulkan-producer.so.1 - required shared library libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1 not found 15:21:02 bingo. you know what fixed it? 15:22:15 nvidia-modeset.ko needs to be loaded. nothing in xorg.log to indicat that 16:49:44 <_xor> Oh, apparently 13 broke libzfs_core dependencies. 16:50:01 <_xor> I was scratching my head for a couple of hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong lol. 17:11:52 xorg.conf is not required most of the time 17:31:11 _xor: that's a lot of head scratching! 19:30:03 Is it okay to `rm -rf /var/db/freebsd-update` ? my boot disk is tiny (well, it's like 30GB). 19:31:21 antranigv: probably ok; but it will fill up the next time you update 19:44:43 yup, all worked fine! 20:17:51 30GB is huge, not tiny 20:18:40 yuripv: back in my day, the boot disk was 720kb and fit in my pocket 20:19:53 Back in my day, it was 1.2MB and 8" to the side. I didn't have pockets large enough. 20:20:21 V_PauAmma_V: still used on boeings. 20:20:38 now, i had used the washing machine tub machine disks too 20:22:39 My pockets aren't large enough for boeings either, more's the pity. I'd love to steal one. 20:24:20 Demosthenex: ok grampa, now it's time for your nap 20:26:12 rtprio: don't forget to run badblocks to keep your disk map up to date 20:27:28 i had a bunch of batfiles which zippped and unziped the games i wanted to play because i only had room for a couple a time on the 380mb hard drive 21:14:42 is it possible to ping a wireguard endpoint? i'm seeing some unusual messages. 21:16:44 ping: sendto: Capabilities insufficient 21:59:07 No biscuit! 22:06:15 unusual indeed, "#define ENOKEY ENOTCAPABLE" 22:10:25 not seeing anything in any freebsd writeup that i need net.inet.ip.forwarding or anything of the sort 22:21:23 or maybe it's something on my end. 🤔 22:50:00 rtprio: theres nothing about wireguard that prevents or enables pings specifically... 23:11:27 it must be on my end; perhaps because wireguard is not running on that network gateway
