Hi All, I'm having trouble updating /boot/zfs/zpool.cache on a 13.1-RELEASE-p6 GENERIC amd64 machine, any words of wisdom please ?

trouble updating it in what sense?

the bottomline is I have to do 'zpool export zstore' then 'zpool import zstore' after every reboot to get my pool back, which doesnt seem sensible ?

Anyone know a cheap basic video card that will work in modern EUFI machines? I don't need it for games or anything. Just a basic desktop.

i have a fanless gt730

Will that work in a EUFI machine? SOme of these new x670 boards disable the internal graphics if you want to use legacy ROMs on cards.

UEFI, sorry

it seems to work with UEFI boot, yes, guess that depends on the make?

I see there is one for like $35. That's not to obad. I wish it did HDMI directly because that's what my remote KVM wants.

But I need a few of these for some machines used mainly as servers.

Really irksome

cdn7.bigcommerce.com/s-6bkt1ygjlf/i…519266485__42269.1527582477.jpg?c=2 have this one from MSI, has HDMI for sure

Thx

The problems is I need like 5 or 6. So I want them as cheap as possible.

Is it save to call getsocketname() on an unconnected socket to discover the protocol family?

Sorry, on an unbound socket

The connection state shouldn't factor into it.

I mounted a drive with htfs-3g and I copied 40 g files over, this morning I get i/o error.... I notice that chown -R g: /b does not work everything is still owned by root

I tried mounting witu uid=1001 my user g no good

What could be wrong?

I use ufs

touch /b/345 works

any suggestions for why firefox won't play sound but chromium does fine?]

sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=0

Hi everyone. Got XFCE running on FreeBSD/VirtualBox

It's a bit laggy. I'm sure its either a video driver or VB setting

which driver is it using?

concrete_houses, switching default units does not work for me. everything else works as expected, system sound wise

Are there any virtualbox guest video accelleration addons?

@yuripv, the VMWARE driver

vendor = 'VMware'

device = 'SVGA II Adapter'

Im running it via VirtualBox, not baremetal

I installed the xf86-video-vmware package as well

rebooting. brb

another linux user using freebsd for the first time?

hmmm

srating fox as uer not root?

starting

yeah as user. i'm still tinkering i know im missing something

RoyalYork: i don't think there would be any acceleration without the support in drm-kmod (and it's not there yet/still)

I iwll say this

you have to close both browser then change setting if any

then open new xterm

and open 1 browser

go youtube n test

and sometimes I have to hit the setting twice before opening the xterm

and then the browser

I mess with it mainly to use earphones

and switch back

i really thought that would work, i've not had them both closed when changing settings. still no luck

Whats the BSD equivalent to procfs

ElectricJozin: what's procfs?

I found it usefull to for example check the open fd of a process, how could I do that easily

meena, linux /proc directory

I thought it was a UNIX thing

FreeBSD is not UNIX™ though

not UNIX™, just real UNIX

Nope, would be "Unix"

ElectricJozin: anyway, it's not on my default, man.freebsd.org/procfs(4) and it doesn't expose half as much data as Linux does

Title: procfs(4)

according to Wikipedia, OpenBSD got rid of it completely en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs

@yuripv, thanks for letting me know. I can do without it for now

there is a WIP PR for vmwgfx, but it seems to be outdated (and I'm not sure if it will work with what's in vbox)

i'd love to see the support for vmwgfx as well, hyperv looks to be much easier to implement, but sadly hyperv vm lack any sound devices

I would presume everyone using FreeBSD in a virtual environment is facing the same issue. This won't be a long term problem for me as Im testing FreeBSD as virtulized daily driver before I commit to going bare metal and using proper/supported hardware

test

hello

ping-pong detected

thanks

It seems my userland and kernel are on two different versions

$ freebsd-version -ku

13.1-RELEASE-p6

13.1-RELEASE-p7

I rebooted and it still persists

Also updated and upgraded my packages

freebsd-update fetch shows: No updates needed to update system to 13.1-RELEASE-p7.

@parv, i know i messed up :(

RoyalYork: read IMPLEMENTATION NOTES in freebsd-version man page

yuripv, thanks. I'll have a look

(it's normal for those to be different)

I see now. "which does not update the kernel version unless the

kernel itself was affected by the latest patch"

exactly.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Need to make more use of the man pages
