After trying to enable my camera by installing and loading cuse.ko in /boot/loader.conf my system is in a boot loop.

I am not able to boot single user or any other option without it starting the framebuffer and then rebooting.

I've boot into my freebsd boot usb drive and need to mount the /boot partition of the nvme0 drive but don't know how to do it.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

jeff we can't help you if you don't stick around, buddy

jeffmr: are you still in need of assistance or did you figure it out?

johnm, thanks for the reply. I just nuked the drive and started over.

copy that

ok, next time you should be able to go into the loader and unload the module

Microphone in what app?

Hi! Has anyone had any luck installing FreeBSD 13.1 RELEASE on a 2020 Dell XPS 13 with Intel WiFi? From what I've read, the card should be supported but it doesn't get properly detected during install or when I run ifconfig later on

dmesg indicates it successfully loaded some firmware but it doesn't seem to have actually initiated

Can you pastebin your /var/run/dmesg.boot?

Sure, let me just find a USB stick to dump it onto

V_PauAmma_V: pastebin.com/zwM5JBYc

platypus_laser: 'you want to hear about driver quality?

idwer: sure :P

platypus_laser: does iwlwifi's manpage mention the driver is built off transformed linux code?

idwer: yep

OK. iwlwifi is correctly detected, but not configured. Can you pastebin "grep wlan /etc/rc.conf"?

| nc termbin.com 9999

May not work if they have no internet on that host yet.

rc.conf? yeah, docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/…vanced-networking/#network-wireless see step 4

ah I figured they would have just slapped it on ethernet in the mean time

Title: Chapter 33. Advanced Networking | FreeBSD Documentation Portal

daemon: No USB-C to ethernet unfortunately :-(

ah :(

V_PauAmma_V: there's only one line in there. create_args_wlan0="country DE regdomain ETSI"

Let me take a look at the linked docs and play around

platypus_laser, having had my own headaches with trying to use wireless on freebsd, those converters for ethernet to wireless (usually used on old xboxs etc) are kinda handy for such situations

with a usb-c nic of course :)

platypus_laser: ah well, if that's acceptable to you.. :)

also the manpage has a typo in 'superseed'

daemon: yeah I should probably get one. I was throwing FreeBSD on this machine just on a whim so I didn't go and buy anything special for it.

You should also have: wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"

V_PauAmma_V: I do not have that

platypus_laser, the other fun option would be using something like LFS or gentoo, using bhyve to boot it and trying to pass through the nic (assuming the bios has vt-d) then NAT'ing from the VM for the host OS :D

that's more or less what you get right now

not quite as smooth as windows/wsl2 but eh I mean effective

V_PauAmma_V: that was the issue. I added that and I can now see the interface

Thank you so much!

Anytime.

Great. I have working WiFi now. Just needed to do a bit of wpa_supplicant tweaking. Thanks again for all the help everyone\

is it me or is vim garbled in lxterminal?

someone must've noticed this right?

nmz, So I am not a vim user but in the last month some upgrade in my collection of systems now causes mutt to have a garbled display for me.

Therefore I have some questions if you are seeing something similar.

Are you using screen? tmux? ssh? xterm?

no tmux, straight up lxterminal

In my case I haven't been able to reduce it to mutt, tmux, xterm, locale setting, TERM setting, to one thing because I am always using the entire set together.

its specific to this character, \e[?4mM

I switched to xfce4-terminal, which seems to work with vim

Have you looked up what that escape sequence is supposed to be doing? And the question mark there seems... questionable.

ESC [ starts the sequence and then maybe 4 m M and I don't recognize it off the top of my head.

it could be a color?

I should not have discounted the ? so soon. There is a sequence with ? starting it.

turning colors off (:syntax off) will work correctly

I see a sequence to reverse video starting with ESC [ ? 5 h then ESC [ ? 5 l to return. But I don't locate a 4 series in this one reference so no idea.

In my case it happens when I am on one system and "ssh -t othersystem tmux attach -d" and then run mutt I recently started to get a garbled display. Control-L a lot.

And in that series there are many individual parts that any one of them might cause problems. I need to divide and conquer the debugging.

let me know if you find a solution, it might be related, to my problem

Hi, any ideas why I can't start mongodb6.0.2 after fresh install in 13.1? (error: Illegal instruction\n /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mongod: WARNING: failed to start mongod) ?

what CPU do you use?

make, model, instruction set?

ryzen 3700x

okay

" Illegal instruction": that is one useless error message

illegal instruction means the CPU registered an illegal instruction trap and the kernel sent it to the process

LxGHTNxNG, Does that translate to some signal?

I am running it inside VirtualBox 7.0.6, might be a reason?

SIGILL?

yes, SIGILL

LxGHTNxNG, Thanks

drg99: it could be; what's the host OS? I get it a lot too for reasons not related to a CPU illegal instruction trap, but related to control flow integrity

LxGHTNxNG: Windows 11, latest

"Latest" - build number?

also, do you have the ability to use hyper-V or something?

22621.1105

understood

I have vmware workstation, I will try now

LxGHTNxNG under VMWare 17 the error is similar

Warning: failed to startmongod

oxay

are you able to start mongod from the shell, without using the init script

let me see if I can

that might produce a core dump if nothing else

SIGILL is listed in "signal" manual page to produce a core dump (would have happened ~35 minute earlier)

can't start it manually

ah, I somehow started it

Does the "service" script arrange for particular (library) paths?

Does not seem so, let me use the paste

Title: dpaste/WcNB (Plain Text)

( Oh, the "raw"version at bsd.to does not collapse the indents to nothing )

What about "ldconfig" in "# REQUIRE: NETWORK ldconfig"?

yes..

drg99, Did you recreate the command/environment as in the "service" script when you manually started mongodb?

not the full command, I just did /usr/local/bin/mongo

drg99, Ok. With manually started mongodb, could you do anything useful & the behaviour is as expected, whatever that may be?

parv: to my shame I don't really know mongo, I just need it for some other app

drg99, Same here.

drg99, afair mongo5+ by default require AVX.

any way to determine AVX availability in my setup?

Title: tensorflow - How to enable AVX / AVX2 in VirtualBox 6.1.16 with Ubuntu 20.04 64bit? - Stack Overflow

VVD: dmidecode -t processor | grep -i AVX no luck

Title: CPUID for AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

install sysutils/cpuid

cpuid | grep -i AVX no luck either

drg99, did u read my 1st link?

Ryzen 7 3700X have AVX and AVX2.

You can run cpu-z on your host.

I see it has AVX, maybe I can enable it in VirtualBox, I try now

I see it has AVX I am trying to figure out what to do: vmware workstation needs hyperv -> cannot disable hyperv and in virtualbox does not AVX enabled as I see it in the logs

VBOX machine logs: 00:00:04.590997 AVX - AVX support = 0 (1)

out of 6 avx extensions none is supported it seems

correction: AVX can be enabled in Vbox through vboxmanage.. Ok, I will go and see if I manage to get it run. Thanks all

On Windows 10 Home, I have WSL 2 disabled, so is Hyper-V. FreeBSD 13 guest VM in VirtualBox 6.1.36 (with extension pack) "dmesg" reports AVX in CPU features for Inetl i5-6300U; so does "cpuid"

parv: let me try the extension pack, maybe it will work

... "dmimedcode" was rather useless as it listed things only about VirtualBox

s/dmimedcode/dmidecode/ # Yeah, shell competion corrects my "dmime[Tab]"

( Note to self: D M I decode )

"vmware workstation needs hyperv" how so?

why not just use hyperv?

i find it ware more agreeable than vmware or virtualbox

hyperv should be faster than virtualbox for most things there

I might use hyperv I vbox extension dont fix it

is NTP not active by default? the clock on my server is off by 6 mins

nvm, read up on it

drg99, did you tried described here: stackoverflow.com/questions/6578050…lbox-6-1-16-with-ubuntu-20-04-64bit ?

Title: tensorflow - How to enable AVX / AVX2 in VirtualBox 6.1.16 with Ubuntu 20.04 64bit? - Stack Overflow

VVD: not yet as vmware workstation says it needs hyperv platform to run even I don't have any VMs in hyperv

VVD: as I use both workstation and VBOX I need to think of what I can quit

why both?

workstation is faster, better network and storage interface drivers

and it rarely freezes, if I push vbox too much it crashes

vmware if it rquires hyperv seems like an unnecessary layer

that was my upset too

but then i just ssh into my hyperv boxes

use freebsd for host

I wish that day would come

i don't think the wife would like that very much

my wife have personal notebook with kubuntu :-D

yourfate, I know you read up on it but... Put ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" without ntpdate enabled and if the clock was 6 minutes off I recommend rebooting.

ntpdate is the now very old method which was replaced by ntpd -g some decade plus ago. See "man rc.conf" and look for the ntp option section for docs.

Then to check the health of ntp run "ntpq -p" and look at the status. jitter and offset should be small-ish numbers, reach is a bitmap of successful packets, poll starts at 64 seconds and expands to 1024 as the system stabilizes.

the offset will adjust after service ntpd restart, right

as it would with ntpdate

Example of a happy time sync'd system bsd.to/EyrH/raw

Title: EyrH

idwer, Right! That's the ntpd -g option which migrated the ntpdate functionality into ntpd.

Time is one of those things that has become more critical over the years. Now it is used for certificate validation for example and everything has certificates to validate.
