I'm trying to find how to have new entries show up in /dev/gpt after partitioning a new disk with gpart -t GPT

any ideas? I looked at gpart, glabel, geom...

khorben, they should just appear if the partitions are on the device.

mmh they don't... but thanks I'll keep looking

khorben: did you add the actual labels to partitions?

isn't that only for labels? you have to add the label. also doesn't update when mounted iirc

no I didn't set labels

what isley said, it's for labels

the first disk show as gptboot0 swap0 zfs0, I assumed creating freebsd-zfs etc types would show up as gptboot1 etc

I can try again

those labels were added by installer

ah I see them in gpart list

gpart show -l as well

I expected gpart show to look like the output of gpart list, and gpart list to look like gpart show

yes that works too

thanks!

now zpool attach zroot /dev/gpt/zfs0 /dev/gpt/zfs1 works, cool

Hi. Any way to hide hardware devices from pulseaudio? Tried in pavucontrol but it wont allow me to disable devices. Cant block them on a kernel level either (by not loading drivers) because the devices i want and the ones i dont want seem to be the same hardware :/

through permissions?

KingShark: why exactly do you want to "hide" it?

yuripv, just some OCD thing about seeing a list of devices that i dont want to see when i want to change output device in the xfce pulseaudio plugin :))

i would prefer this list to show only the exact two that i regulary use xD

i know its silly

makes sense :D

when using bhyve where/how does one configure the MAC address of the virtual machine?

never mind I think I found it

crb: and, how?

meena, not sure I understand you what did you mean?

Has the location for EuroBSDCon 2024 been announced yet?

fraxamo: according to bsd.network/@EuroBSDCon "EuroBSDCon 2024 will be held in Dublin, Ireland, September, 2024."

meena: Excellent, thank you!

Updates on my nvidia-driver oddyssey

I found a configuration that works now. There were three isues in total:

(a) I couldn't get nvidia-driver without nvidia-drm to work. nvidia-drm must be used.

(b) nvidia-driver copes poorly with being used with legacy mode boot. EFI boot must be used.

(c) nvidia-driver requires swap to wake up succesfully from suspend-to-ram. Swap must be enabled.

how did you figure these things out?

lots of trial and error

and a hunch as to what could be the problem

the general intuition is: "what is different between my system and a normal system that could cause the problem?"

The most annoying thing about debugging this is that I was unable to find any report of issues online that were even remotely similar.

meena: expect incoming ;-)

FUZxxl: I'm using nvidia-drm, would be great if suspend now works. good to know!

dch: it does! Does it work for you?

I'll try tonight and report back

need to save a bit of work first just in case

are you using drm-515-kmod or the other one?

the other one

drm-515-kmod is for freebsd 14 and newer

I'm still on 13.2

ok, I'm on newer here

I'm waiting for the ZFS issue to be resolved before upgrading.

is there a way (from shell + other userland tools) to tell if random/dir is actually a fs mountpoint?

other than running mount and parsing output

yes

[ `statd -f %d $dir` = `stat -f %d $dir/..` ]

if this returns true, $dir is not a mountpoint

[ `stat -f %d $dir` = `stat -f %d $dir/..` ]

clever

note that this fails if $dir is / or if $dir is not linked (e.g. it has recently been removed but is still accessible through pwd)

so you may need to build some hardening around it

nah this is just throwing in a makefile to make it accommodate being re-run

ok

thats going to be good enough thanks!

have fun

historically, you would do this by checking if the inode is 2 as that's the root dir of a ufs file system

but this no longer holds true with other file systems

would be nice if test(1) could do this

it be nice if we had Linux' mountpoint(1)

meena: implement the command and submit it as a feature!

FUZxxl: kernel panic in process, suspend definitely not working here

oh noez

which gpu do you have?

also do you use nvidia-drm?

yeah its the drm flavour

geforce 1650 IIRC

ok

I have an nvidia Quadro M2200

laptop GPU on an MXM card

FUZxxl: busy with virtio right now
