good morning everyone

Hi.

EHLO

Man, how the heck I'm supposed to use emulators/wine:amd64 if I can't build my own emulators/wine:i386 since the latter is borked?

Ah, `wine64` itself runs fine. Stupid me with my rubber duck debugging.

you're never alone with a rubber duck

I'm just glad I can run the 64 bit wine separately

hay what is the util to setup the tty console font again?

vidcontrol

vidfont if you want the "ui"

allscreens_flags in /etc/rc.conf if you want it set on multiuser boot

RhodiumToad: is that for the name of the font under /usr/share/vt/fonts ?

allscreens_flags="-f blah blah"

i.e. it invokes vidcontrol $allscreens_flags on each ttyvN device

what does it mean when i try to chsh -s /usr/local/bin/someshell but it says non-standard shell

it's not listed in /etc/shells

non-root users can't set a non-standard shell

good morning im trying to change the console colors during freebsd boot when running version 12 i could recompile the kernel by add the following: options options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VESA options SC_NORM_ATTR=(FG_WHITE|BG_BLACK)

options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_WHITE|BG_RED) i have since upgraded to Freebsd 13.2 my question is how can i change the console colors in freebsd 13.2

tmux

lots of colourful customisation available

vt colors can be set in /boot/loader.conf

Hey angry_vincent does that change the color of text when FreeBSD boots up ?

Hey guys, how are you doing? I am currently runing FreeBSD 13.1 as i want to build OPNsense for the same FreeBSD version as required. Unfortunately, when i install 'pkg' i can only install the newer version for 13.2 (11.9), not the older one (11.8). Is there a way to get the matching packages for FreeBSD 13.1 instead of fetching the newer ones?

Or maybe some kind of downgrade to pkg 11.8? Thanks in advance!

13.1 is EOL

you should upgrade

Yeah i know, unfortunately for some legacy systems i have to build using FreeBSD 13.1, is there maybe some kind of archive for old package versions?

Knogle: i'm not sure. you can always use poudriere to build the packages for you, though that might require a lot of compute power depending on what you're building

but if you plan on running this system for a while longer, then it might be the right approach as i don't anticipate 13.1-RELEASE packages to ever reappear or be updated

don't we tag the ports tree on every release?

meena: i think ports tree is tagged, but i'm not sure if pre-built packages are available

the DVDs contain a load of packages, from when the release was cut (so, full of CVEs by now)

bsdbandit01_: yes

Ahhh thanks a lot to both of you! I'm currently building it from the ports tree for 22.7

The operation will free 34 MiB.

Hello. mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt

mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument

why is that so?

i tried /sbin/gpart create -s MBR da0

/sbin/gpart add -t fat32 da0

isn't that correct?

you would still have to format it, that only creates the partition

fstype /dev/da0s1

without the e

# fstyp /dev/da0s1

fstyp: /dev/da0s1: filesystem not recognized

i only see mkfs.ext{2,3,4}

do i need newfs_msdos?

i believe so

if thats the absolute correct disk

gpart show/list would reveal that for you

been a while since ive been down this route

CmdLnKid: but what is your route?

I use GPT disks now for the longest time and havent created a MBR for the longest time

well besides usb sticks anyway but most of those are other system images that you just dd

hey i cant login anymore with user account. it was set for another shell but that was uninstalled, now when I try to login it drops back out to login prompt becase the shell is not installed. then when I tried to set the shell via chsh it reports an error: entry inconsistent, pw_copy invalid argument

id have to manually break out a disk and run back through it with my fingers to make the brain remember

spine-o-saurus, pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd

then retry

there may be another file you will have to do that for if that doesn't procees

CmdLnKid: ok thx

that will allow you to edit /etc/master.passwd then run that command to bring the db up-to-date and allow you to login with the changes applied which i feel is your case

after a chsh you will not have to run pwd_mkdb again

-rw------- 1 root wheel 2527 Sep 1 10:34 /etc/master.passwd

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 40960 Sep 1 10:35 /etc/pwd.db

-rw------- 1 root wheel 40960 Sep 1 10:35 /etc/spwd.db

those (ls -l /etc/master.passwd /etc/*.db) should most of the time show similiar times that are close

if i want to backup my synapse, postgresql and nginx installation, what is the best filesystem for that?

is msdosfs good enough?

using a dd for the maybe is your best option

s/the/that/

how is that, when i need to copy folder inside /var/lib and the target is an SD card?

zfs is my goto using snapshots

zip,rsync,dd may be your msdosfs goto

gzip,bzip2,xz,tar

oh, good idea

i wouldn't put zfs on a sdcard

simple script to run through cron and create a archive that has a datestamp on it is at least referencable

i'd check hashsums of gzip/bzip2/xz... processed archive and be sure that filesystem type choice didn't spoil anything

DATESTAMP="$(date "+%y%m%d.log.%H")" for instance

all these msdosfs differences between fat12/16/32 and so on really blow mind

yeah yeah i agree

with maximum file size, name

amount of files

yeah and all that ~ stuff

EDIT /EDT SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM

oops ignore that. bad paste ... working with opevms on x86 at the moment

recent newb there

fat32 might be good enough. You could also use exfat for the sdcard since that bypasses the max filesize and partition size of fat32. You will need to install sysutils/fusefs-exfat and sysutils/exfat-utils though

I've a FreeBSD box, nginx running as a proxy, forwarding HTTP/HTTPS requests to the nginx instance in the Jail, running on 10.0.0.3 within the OS. So, that means two nginx instances running on the server. I wonder if I could forward the 80/443 port requests DIRECTLY to the nginx in Jail, by using PF.. Any clue?

I haven't done it, but a look at pf.conf(5) hints that it may be possible, using a rdr rule for inbound packets and a nat rule for outbound packets.

tercaL: I don't see why you can't do that. Redirects are trivial with Linux, I'm sure PF ought to be able to handle it

definitely can. i have caddy as a reverse proxy in a jail

rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port {80, 443} -> $caddy_ip

if anyone is familiar with microsoft azure desktop clients (onedrive, teams, etc.) i'm having an issue with them... when passing traffic through my freebsd router i cannot sign in to any services. here's my pf ruleset: pastie.org/p/2TBsz2kFIf9fzX6MJzMNV2

Title: Pastie

siix_office: but other traffic works?

web-based services work fine, all other web traffic seems to be flowing correctly. it's just the sign-in screens that error out when routing traffic through fbsd

interesting

because why would it discriminate traffic like that

right

oddly enough if i skip over the fbsd router straight to the CE router, then sign in, then put the fbsd router back in everything is great until the apps decide they need me to reauth

i'm having the same traffic discrimination problems like this

with azure desktop apps?

no, my issue involves traffic not routing correctly through wireguard.

local traffic or routed traffic?

when my freebsd wireguard server has to communicate with devices that are local to the server, think on the same subnet, the performance is complete garbage.

yeah wg is a pain sometimes to get configured

so if I'm outside the network and use my laptop to connect to the wireguard server, and then start a VNC connection to another workstation, that is at 120-150Kbit/s max

which makes the VNC connection completely unusable as you can imagine.

this is my pf ruleset - pastie.org/p/6DDub7HtSdvno6b90KGKUb

Title: Pastie

try #wireguard

yes or #networking

will ask when I have more free time
