00:00:17 ok. with that done, see if pkg install kdenlive has any conflicts (it shouldn't) 00:01:04 you may at some point want to do pkg lock gdal to make sure future pkg runs don't try and update it. 00:01:18 if it needs updating in future you'll want to do that via the port. 00:02:27 yes , kdenlive installed, working !   with usual no maintainer notices. 00:02:38 * RhodiumToad really should revisit the issue of installing multiple postgresql versions 00:02:59 should I lock? 00:03:12 you should do pkg lock gdal 00:03:24 (and neovim if you want to, but that's probably less critical) 00:04:05 huh, freenode threw a wobbly on me 00:04:09 fantastic ! thanks. My last issue is installing brave browser but I do not want to be a support hog further. Just point me to the best way of doing it on freebsd and I will try to do it myself. Which way? 00:04:11 s/frenode/libera 00:04:42 I know nothing of this browser 00:04:42 brave is a linux based browser app 00:04:55 is there a port for it? 00:05:00 its a linux app (just like any other) which is not availabe in freebsd 00:05:19 ah. so you want to run it under the linux abi? 00:06:31 you could try installing the linux_base-c7 package, and making sure you have linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf 00:06:52 reboot with that, then the next step is figuring out what dependencies the linux binary has 00:07:21 (if possible, you want to start with a linux binary that's built for centos 7) 00:07:28 maybe use another browser in freebsd that blocks ads 00:07:47 why centos 7 and not ubuntu/deb 00:07:48 there's some stuff in the handbook iirc about figuring out dependencies for linux apps 00:08:39 centos 7 because there are packages for that 00:09:04 but ubuntu also has packages 00:09:22 why prefer cent 00:09:27 no, I mean there are freebsd packages for installing a centos 7 environment 00:09:33 oh ok 00:09:57 or ports, at least, I think they are available as packages too 00:10:32 linux_base-c7 is the minimal centos7 environment and there are tons of linux-c7-* libraries 00:10:58 I have a linux-only printer driver, and I make it work using this stuff 00:11:35 (hard to find a cheap laser printer otherwise) 00:15:16 RhodiumToad thank you! 00:45:35 RhodiumToad: define cheap. 00:47:39 I paid about 50 quid? 00:47:55 that was a good many years ago tho 00:48:06 2011, apparently 00:50:31 £45.80 including VAT 00:51:04 cheap enough that I wasn't too bothered about the possibility that I might not have been able to make it work 00:53:39 I'm curious if there are currently available <£100 laser printers that work well with freebsd 00:55:36 I'd guess refurb. 00:55:52 the one I have I bought new 01:00:50 I don't use it a great deal, but it's still working after 12 years and the toner costs have been quite small (unlike the costs of inkjet ink) 01:23:51 Laser printers are more "stable" than inkjets. Inkjets dry out when not in consistent use. Plus inkjet vendors are all predatory. Laser cartridges are dry and long term stable to sit and then always work when printing the first page after a year of not printing. That's my experience anyway. 01:24:32 this is exactly why I wanted a laser in the first place :-) 01:25:54 When shopping for any printer I will only look at network printers now. Those may or may not work with free printer drivers over ipp:// or not but if it requires a USB cable it will always be trouble. 01:26:43 mine is a USB 01:27:20 I bow to your zen nature. You are truly blessed if it has been no problem for you. 01:27:34 I wouldn't say "no" problem :-) 01:28:07 Book title: The Printer That Just Worked! And Other Fairy Tales. 01:28:46 One of my clients has a Brother laserjet with a USB and the only drivers for it were Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit binary. Note that 32-bits are no longer supported by Ubuntu in anything newer. And the driver itself requires 16.04 too. 01:28:56 when I first got it working, it needed a whole Linux copy of cups running in a jail, with a hack to get at the freebsd cups version of the usb backend 01:29:25 now I have it working with cups in freebsd and just the driver as a linux binary 01:29:27 Okay then! I bagged up an Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit system as a virtual machine and it drives the printer as a print spooler and everything else prints through it. Works. And could upgrade other systems around it. 01:29:51 however, the driver seems to have disappeared from the internet entirely 01:30:44 Don't ever lose your copy and the backup of it. At least not until your printer dies. 01:30:47 (at one point I considered submitting a port in case someone else had the printer, but without anywhere to download the driver from, there's no legal distribution channel) 01:31:06 Seems like you and I both basically did the same thing in order to drive the printers using closed source binaries in order to make it work. PITA! 04:27:17 Good morning 07:05:49 EHLO 07:44:52 250 OK 07:52:44 BYE TIMEOUT 08:15:18 How do I get "nc(1)", in a script, to print the URL returned after sending text to termbin.com:9999? (The URL is printed if just use "nc" on the CLI) 08:17:35 Damnit! In a short example, the URL is printed as expected😖 08:18:04 I need to stop bugzilla from autoccing me on every bug 08:19:07 Oh! I see there is no output to be sent to "nc", hence no printing of an URL! 09:23:38 * grahamperrin speeds through 09:24:14 Beladona: /usr/ports is typically the mount point for a pool, and so, non-removable. 09:24:34 rwp: can you (install and then) share output from lsblk? 11:43:37 grahamperrin ok 15:41:43 RhodiumToad, ironically Brave browser is available on macOS. I run Brave on my corporate MacBook at work. 15:46:42 Oh, and it is available for Windows too. So, someone just needs to care enough to port it to FreeBSD. Maybe Beladona will do that for us. :) 16:10:50 Would be cool if someone(s) would port Brave natively over to FreeBSD. It gets annoying when running it in a Linux jail and at random would crash. 16:12:37 It's also concerning when I see the linux jail throw warnings like this: linux: jid 0 pid 12313 (ThreadPoolForeg): unsupported TCP socket option TCP_INFO (11) 17:08:01 does Brave still have the bright orange icon in dark mode that you can't disable? that immediately killed it for me. project response was"wont fix, it's our brand". 18:40:48 markmcb: I'd say you're missing out on some really good web privacy benefits if you're letting the constrasting orange of their "shield logo" get in your way. 19:09:24 does anyone know the chat for enligtenement desktop ? 19:09:57 I am trying to install it in FreeBSd 14 - I wonder if is possible with wayland 19:10:54 I wonder if Wayland is yet a valid way to go.... I noticed even in Linux - some of the applcations such as Rustdesk still works on X11 --- and pulse - no pipewire 19:14:54 why going wayland if x11 works ? 19:15:15 This ^ 19:20:28 AFAICS the value of Wayland is that it gives people tired of everything Just Working in Release something to complain is not yet working for them in Current. 19:20:43 "Don't have something to complain about and want to? Try Wayland!" :-) 19:26:12 :D 19:30:32 grahamperrin, I can't run lsblk on the system at this moment as all drives have been removed and I am copying drives one by one on a different system using ddrescue. 19:50:28 acu don't think we ever ported that 19:51:32 acu: I created the ML for e and worked on it and updated the wiki and a few other things , but they have no longer time release and there release cycle is weird so gave up 19:52:16 Spend the time updating it by the time it gets committed they create a new release 19:55:05 accelerat0r: cause the Linux world likes to change shit for no reason and make it more complicated than it needs to be 19:58:05 I think accelerat0r's point was that in FreeBSD if X11 is working then what's the motivation to install Wayland? Not asking why Wayland is happening on other operating systems. 19:58:40 grahamperrin, Also instead of the ports lsblk may I suggest "geom -t" instead? It's in base and always available. It has rather nice information output too. :-) 20:00:59 Though the xwayland was a wrapper lib ? 20:06:31 I am not running wayland so don't know but I thought it was the other way around. That wayland was primary and X was run as a wrapper under it somehow. When running wayland. (shrug) 20:10:51 Whatever runs xfce and Firefox 20:15:47 "pkg search xwayland" says "xwayland-22.1.8,1 X11 server as Wayland Client" 20:24:15 Does raid help with data integrity as well? e.g one drive gets corrupted, just due to raid, the system will know that there is a mismatch. But will the system know which drive's data is correct? and will it auto correct it? 20:25:23 With ZFS mirror, RAID-Z[123], yes; not with stripe-only configuration 20:27:11 kenrap: perhaps. but there are plenty of equally good alternatives that don't come with the eye of sauron. 20:40:29 Raid isn't a replacement for backups any ways 20:41:17 With a stripe pool config zfs will know if a block is corrupted but having only one copy of the data won't be able to correct it. 20:41:30 RAID is definitely NOT a replacement for backup! 20:43:40 There is still a time when 2 drives can fail , and there was a bug in the 3ware driver couple years back that corrupt the fs 20:43:52 So my 6 drive array needed to be redone 20:44:27 And that was a raid 60 which could handle 3 failed drives 20:51:42 parv the last message I got from you was "With ZFS mirror, ..." 20:51:56 parv but how will it know whihc drives data is correct? 20:52:15 does it happen in raid 5,6 as well? 20:52:25 cannot it be done with rsync instead? 20:53:32 Beladona, ZFS would ID the device, which may (not) be accompanied by messages from respective drivers 20:53:58 Beladona, Hold on ... 20:54:13 ok. 20:55:15 Read up on how raid works its similar to the z raids in zfs 20:55:34 I know how it works but not to the expert level 20:55:42 that would take many book reads 20:55:46 thats why here 20:56:13 cpet ya, zfs has slight different naming and internals 20:56:16 Beladona, First page search of "parity" at https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/05/zfs-101-understanding-zfs-storage-and-performance/ will give a shallow overview 20:56:17 Title: ZFS 101—Understanding ZFS storage and performance | Ars Technica 20:56:44 Doesn't really take a genius to reqs messages and replace the drive and let it rebuild 20:57:16 If you have a backup drove zfs will do it auto and you won't even notice it 20:58:02 Just make sure you have tons of rams zfs likes those 20:58:13 Feed me... 20:58:21 lets say there were 2 drives. how will it know which drives data is correct? 20:58:36 Read up on parity 20:58:48 cpet I am not talking about raid 5,6 here 20:58:51 just the mirror 20:59:36 Same principal it's copying data to two drives , and still saving meta data on both 20:59:43 OpenZFS Data Intgreity: https://openzfs.org/wiki/System_Administration#Data_Integrity 20:59:44 Title: System Administration - OpenZFS 20:59:45 cpet parv so with raid 5,6 it "will" and "can" correct data (wiith hlep of parity etc)? 20:59:55 Yes 21:00:03 Beladona, I do not know about non-ZFS RAID 21:00:10 Mirror is just a mirror 21:00:25 parv cpet ok with mirror, there is not parity. Mere meta data won't be enough to correct 21:00:35 to make corrective measrues 21:00:43 Doesn't need any it's copying the save data twice 21:01:24 So each drive is an extra copy of the other drive 21:01:34 And will still function ofnyy pull a disk out 21:01:43 ya, I mean "after" data is written. after a month, lets say one drive's part of data gets corrupted. How will the zfs know and get the correct data from the "ok" drive and write to defective one? 21:01:57 Ok your nuking this 21:01:57 Beladona, A (ZFS) mirror keeps 2 copies; a corrupt file would be replace with one from the other 21:02:54 how would it know the file is corrupted? 21:03:17 because it has checksums 21:04:00 It checks to make sure that both files are the same and will do it's thing if one fails , it does a full check or scrub I think weekly 21:04:08 Based on a cron script 21:04:23 jilles ok. 21:04:36 The z raids are more complex 21:04:49 Beladona, Have a go at publications/talks: https://openzfs.org/wiki/Publications 21:04:50 Title: Publications - OpenZFS 21:05:12 But pretty much work the same as normal raids 21:06:56 I want to make a big tank. (not the zfs tank. Just saying tank). and put all my data there. i won't have any other backups.  I know raid is not backup replacement. I do not need drives online all the time. The capacity is 12  tb total. I might order 4tb drives of 3 quanity. Not sure if I want mirror or raid 5,6. Want to be extendable. where I can 21:06:57 add things on top of capacity but I guess non will do that 21:08:31 With a mirror, you would have half the total capacity 21:09:06 Just buy 7 drives use one as spare and setup a z2 or z3 21:09:29 2 of those will be use sfornlarty and you'll have give or take 12 tv 21:09:33 tb 21:09:48 Beladona, Buy 10 TB ones instead in RAID-Z1? 21:10:19 I would go with the smaller ones quicker to rebuild 21:10:59 Note that around 80% of capacity of ZFS storage, performance drops 21:12:05 Raid isn't meant for speed 21:15:01 parv cpet ok.. I have to go with 4tb drives due to the price brand combo etc 21:15:26 Beladona, Ok 21:15:55 Buy different brands as the chances of failure will be random rather than the same 21:16:05 parv cpet what do you suggest?  mirror, raid 5 (3 drives of 4tb) or rsync based checksum and syncing 21:16:18 cpet ok 21:16:20 sane 21:16:24 That's on you 21:16:36 ya but whats better? pros /cons. I am confused 21:16:43 ease of maintenance 21:17:03 RAIDZ[23] 21:17:07 I have a raid 60 but it's not on zfs 21:17:27 ... but would not work in your situation, Beladona 21:17:41 ok so whats fit for me 21:18:21 If you have to ask that then you shouldn't be using raid in the first place and chances are a raid 10 would work 21:18:39 why not raid 5 21:18:42 Mirror of 2-disk, 1 spare; or RAID-Z1 21:19:14 Drives won't be enough for the space you want 21:19:25 Raid 5 takes away 2 drives for parity and meta data 21:20:00 cpet raid 5 takes 1.  6 takes 3 21:20:00 So with those 3 drives you'll only have 4 tb give or take 21:20:06 cpet raid 5 takes 1.  6 takes 2 21:20:23 Either of 21:20:56 You'll get a speed increase with the 0's 21:21:18 50 vs 60 or whatever the equivalent is for z 21:21:38 checking 21:21:53 Probably a z3 21:22:32 cpet don't have that much drives for 50,60 21:22:44 Buy more 21:23:12 oh also, I have an existing 4tb drive and with data. so hard to wash it without haivng 4 drives in totay 21:23:24 Beladona, With RAID-Z1 (or RAID 5), only having 1 disk parity does not provide give enough of "ease of maintenance" 21:23:25 Damn I have a 500gb mirror and I'll never use those 500gb 21:23:29 the problem with zfs raid is that once its made, you cant change it 21:24:09 Wouldn't really call it zfs raid 21:24:11 parv am..t hen? 21:25:17 Depends how paranoid you are I have it setup to send me a system email when a disk fails really don't need more than that 21:25:55 And periodic has a script that scrubs the arrays however not sure that's healthy for a SSD 21:26:14 So I don't do it 21:26:21 Beladona, RAID-Z1 (replacing a disk by breaking a mirror is damn too fiddly; its only a consideration for me due limitation of cost & ports) 21:26:34 I guess writes are life eating for ssd. not reads. but not sure 21:27:12 parv isn't that normal. disk fails, you replace it in mirror 21:27:16 The raid 60 are using barricida drives and the fw deals with that 21:27:50 So you can litterily take a disk out and the array will be degraded and you just pop in a new one and it starts to rebuild 21:28:56 This is partly why I still use hw raid cards rather than zfs 21:29:02 I'm trying to join this channel from Matrix Element front end.. using their IRC bridge to Libera chat 21:29:10 cpet fw? 21:29:16 Firmware 21:29:16 I'm getting err_needreggednick error 21:29:31 can a mod/admin help 21:29:35 This isn't matrix help 101 21:29:36 Beladona, Actually yes, you are right 21:29:47 ok 21:29:57 Any ways my two cents 21:30:35 suppose I have 3 drives. 1 with data in it. Is there a way to build raidz1 of those 3 without invovling a 4th drive? 21:31:15 Could always just buy 2 10tb and do a mirror 21:31:25 costly 21:31:43 Cost of your data should supercede being cheap 21:32:17 But no the zx spec requires the amount of drives it requires can hack it to use less 21:32:57 @cpet.. I know.. but a slight hint would help.. if someone ran into similar issue before 21:33:19 just for better GUI I'm using Element instead of Konversation 21:33:26 SomeAB: why in the hell would I use a bridge when I can just load a irc client and connect ? 21:34:11 what GUI are you using @cpet? 21:34:40 Ircloud on the phone, cli most of the time 21:35:02 cpet ya but I only need 8tb 21:35:05 SomeAB, This channel requires registered users. If you are getting kicked at start it sounds like your Matrix nick is not registered. Just guessing here... 21:35:06 space 21:35:09 suppose I have 3 drives. 1 with data in it. Is there a way to build raidz1 of those 3 without invovling a 4th drive? 21:36:00 Zpool create raidz1 disk1 disk1 disk1 21:36:04 See if it works 21:37:04 Think I'm missing the name but 21:38:06 @rwp .. thanks.. yeah I'm trying to figure that out.. how to register my matrix id on IRC... so I can get past this error 21:38:51 I tried my luck in here, since someone might have run into a similar issue 21:39:28 I think if not registered then instead of here irc redirects one to another channel name, I forget. So if you find yourself in an irc channel but a different one then that is definitely an unregistered nick issue. 21:40:16 yeah its saying "You were removed from #freebsd by appservice,Reason: IRC error on #freebsd: err_needreggednick " 21:41:38 error is self explainitory 21:41:42 register then connect 21:42:27 yeah.. ok one last thing 21:42:36 whatever happened to freenode IRC? 21:43:22 I vaguely remember Freebsd having a channel on freenode.. I could be wrong 21:43:42 think souns bought it and refuse to keep it open so they made libera chat 21:43:49 or something to that extent i dont know never cared 21:43:50 Freenode was taken over in a hostile takeover and everyone sane left there to come here. 21:44:22 Moved here after Korean prince bought FreeNode & then things went to the shitter 21:44:31 Freenode is now abandoned. Nothing of value is there now. Everyone is either here on Libera.Chat or on OFTC or one of the other older IRC networks. 21:45:09 freenode wasn't owned by its maintainers which made the takeover possible. libera is supposed to be different in this respect 21:45:35 SomeAB, Reference https://wiki.freebsd.org/IRC/Channels for the current status. 21:45:36 Title: IRC/Channels - FreeBSD Wiki 21:47:44 Beladona, In "there a way to build raidz1 of those 3 without invovling a 4th drive", do you mean one of the disks is the one with the data? If so, no. 21:49:47 yes 21:49:50 I see 21:51:25 I remember the good old days of Rizon IRC 21:51:32 and using chatzilla 21:51:50 even the 13-15 year old me could understand and use it back then 21:52:34 @rwp.. that sounds interesting.. can you name a few popular channels on OFTC or where to find them 21:52:57 I remember the good old days of arisoft BBS chat https://i.imgur.com/4JzmNNw.png 21:52:57 and also, which old IRC Networks are still good enough to hang around? 21:53:37 efnet 21:53:52 atleast you can curse there ;/ 21:55:06 SomeAB: ircnet, esper.net, efnet... but the channels i know are for niche interests 21:55:46 Yeah, some good times back then when it seemed that all channels and servers were flooded with users. 21:55:50 darkscience 21:56:45 you can still join BBS's but not many BSD ones 21:57:02 still fun to login too as most are older and know more 21:57:30 https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/list/detail/ 21:57:49 cpet: Yeah, I still play LORD (Legend of the Red Dragon) on one server. 22:00:33 most are games 22:00:42 but some offer some *nix communities 22:01:14 cpet: Know of any good ones? 22:02:16 bbs.alsgeeklab.com:2323 22:02:32 cant go retro if you login with ssh :P 22:08:19 would 250 GB drive enough for freebsd having postgres, desktop environment, browser, obs, kdenlive etc. (data be elsewhere)? 22:08:28 yes 22:08:36 ok 22:08:47 rbatty even 100g? 22:09:07 yes 22:09:10 personally i never go below 250GB on a system but even with 100GB i think youre safe as long as youre still storing outside the system 22:09:48 most of the applications you mentioned barely take up any space 22:10:10 ok. 22:10:24 rbatty how much usually the size grows to? 22:12:08 i think as long as your storing large files outside of the freebsd installation you wont even have to worry about that 22:12:27 pre desktop environment youre at like 1-2GB, with a desktop environment between 15-20gb 22:13:28 ok 22:13:45 can i have 10 drives of 4tb? of course with cable extensions 22:16:36 when it comes to external stroage on freebsd i have little knowledge, i run an ubuntu server in my house and my freebsd machine stores work on there. but i dont see why not? have you checked the docs? 22:17:36 ok 22:17:48 Beladona: yes 22:17:52 OS has no limit I think. its a hardware limit 22:17:59 yeap 22:20:15 I had a 3ware card with break out cables so up too 12 drives 22:20:29 my little mini Lenovo only has room for 2 drives and 1 NVE 22:20:49 my desktop has room for 6 drives and 2 NVE 22:21:50 depending on use case you could get awau with one of those synergy drive enclosures 22:23:47 so i upgraded to 13.2-RELEASE and as usual, virtualbox broke. the vbox kernel module in ports is compiled against 13.1 so it won't load. i'm trying to build vbox from ports... it's been compiling for probably 6 hours now 22:23:58 is there a 13.2 version in ports somewhere? 22:24:07 in pkg* 22:24:52 stuff from 13.1 should work in 13.2 22:24:55 so thats false 22:25:11 pkg update pkg upgrade 22:25:14 should fix your issue 22:25:24 # kldload vboxdrv 22:25:24 kldload: an error occurred while loading module vboxdrv.
