00:17:10 Before I go any further down my current rabbit hole: Is it possible to install and boot FreeBSD to and from an iSCSI target? 00:27:21 from? 00:28:43 i.e. after the freebsd installation is on the iscsi target, can you boot to it? In my case, ipxe is the bootloader. At a certain point iPXE is not in control of I/O handling and the freebsd kernel needs to know that it needs to mount its disk via iscsi. 00:31:05 i don't know for certain, but i would expect not 02:16:29 gpart wont show nvme details? 02:16:39 should use nvmecontrol instead ? 03:00:42 i can't connect to the internet even though the configuration in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf seems correct. running service netif restart also doesn't fix it, instead spamming my console with error messages 03:10:18 what about rc.conf? 03:10:32 i'll check it 03:22:50 mvee: it says 'wlans_iwn0="wlan0"' 'ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"' 03:26:58 zayd: 'wlans_iwn0="wlan0" <- did you copy that from rc.conf? 03:27:41 mvee: not directly as i have irc on another computer, but that's how it's written in rc.conf 03:30:07 ok, check in rc.conf that it is 'wlans_iwm0="wlan0" you had it as iwn0 m not n 03:31:22 mvee: it's supposed to be iwm? 03:32:57 try it 03:34:19 wlans_iwm0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 03:36:11 mvee: i did that and restarted netif, it doesn't flood my console with errors now but it still says unknown host when i try to ping freebsd.org 03:40:44 if you run ifonfig do you see anything on wlan0? try ifconf wlan0 03:41:07 sorry, can't type. do ifconfig wlan0 03:41:36 mvee: it says wlan0 doesn't exist 03:42:02 try ifconfig wlan0 up 03:42:28 then service netif restart 03:42:29 did that, it also says that wlan0 doesn't exist 03:42:52 pastebin your wpa and rc 03:45:58 wpa: https://bsd.to/JJgb 03:46:00 Title: dpaste/JJgb (Plain Text) 03:47:31 rc.conf: https://bsd.to/h1jX 03:47:32 Title: dpaste/h1jX (Plain Text) 03:51:40 mvee: is there anything else i have to follow for getting it up? 03:51:40 make a backup of current wpa_supplicant.conf as wpa_supplicant.conf.bak. add key_mgmt=WPA-PSK to your first network entry comment out the 2nd network entry. 03:51:47 ok 03:52:32 after your done, save, bring wlan0 up, restart netif, see if it works 03:54:20 mvee: i tried it both with WPA-PSK in quotes and without and it still says that wlan0 doesn't exist 03:54:28 does this mean i have a missing driver or something? 03:54:54 i unplugged the usb wifi adapter i had in when setting it up, maybe that will fix it 03:55:06 wait no 03:55:16 it scanned networks without it before i plugged it in at all 03:55:48 possible. do you know what you have? 03:55:54 try pciconf -lv | grep -A1 -B3 network 03:56:44 mvee: "Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100" 03:57:27 I'm having trouble getting my e-reader recognized when I plug it in with USB. I get this in /var/log/messages: https://termbin.com/uoq4 any ideas? it looks like the error is related to the quirk, so maybe the quirk isn't being handled correctly? 04:03:47 zayd: apologies, I have to go. I know it's frustrating and I wish i could help more. If you haven't read already check the handbook chapter 33.3 wireless networking 04:16:00 zayd pastebin the error 04:16:25 Also are you sure sysctl net plan.devices detects your card 04:16:34 i'll check if it does 04:16:38 Oops net wlan.devices 04:17:23 Is this a home network? 04:17:23 jb1277976: it says "iwn0" 04:17:28 yes it's a home network 04:17:39 Wpa psk right ? 04:17:45 yes 04:18:05 Ok so your rc.conf should look like this. One sec I'm on Mobile 04:20:09 https://dpaste.org/cg9WY 04:20:10 Title: dpaste/cg9WY (Python) 04:20:19 Not that far apart sorry on Mobile 04:20:41 isn't that supposed to be my wpa? 04:20:46 jb1277976: That was wpa_supplicant.conf. Not rc.conf. 04:21:37 Yes fixing wpa_supplicant.conf first 04:21:58 https://bsd.to/JJgb i think this already does that though 04:21:59 Title: dpaste/JJgb (Plain Text) 04:22:01 not sure 04:22:17 zayd: Preferably use wpa_passphrase(8). 04:22:35 Whenever I drop my network which is a lot I don't have all that stuff in there and WiFi works all the time 04:22:42 Setup* 04:23:12 pr-asadi: instead of "psk" i use "wpa_passphrase"? 04:24:22 No, wpa_passphrase(8) is a executably binary. Just execute 'wpa_passphrase "SSID" "Password"'. 04:25:01 i did that, it still doesn't let me ping 04:25:28 zayd: Can I see the output of ifconfig(8)? 04:25:49 Can you post rc.conf again sorry driving Grandpa around lol 04:26:18 pr-asadi: hold on, i'll have to type it out into a pastebin 04:26:29 jb1277976: https://bsd.to/h1jX 04:26:30 Title: dpaste/h1jX (Plain Text) 04:26:44 anything i have to leave out of ifconfig so i don't accidentally dox myself? 04:26:49 when I get home I will show you my rc.conf and woa_supplicant.conf 04:26:58 Dam auto correct 04:27:14 zayd: Your driver is iwn apparently. 04:28:07 i think i'll deal with this another time, i'm going to go do something else for now 04:28:25 thanks though 04:29:10 No problem. I am going to install FreeBSD again, I will be doing this wifi thing as well. 04:30:58 I'll be home in an hour zayd 04:49:48 jb1277976: i have to go but thanks for offering to help 05:37:20 what's cap_mkdb used for and when would i wanna run it? 05:38:51 it's at least used for login.conf 05:39:59 when does it need to be run for login.conf? 05:40:32 when changes are made to login.conf 05:41:00 modifications won't be observable until login.conf.db has been re-rolled 05:41:29 is cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf ran on bootup? 05:41:55 no, usually manually or when freebsd-update/etcupdate/mergemaster rhave (potentially) picked up a change to login.conf 06:15:38 Dam, he left ? 06:21:26 without reading one man page 06:22:08 jb1277976: Yes. He did. 07:02:04 Greetings. I've installed OpenBSD under FreeBSD bhyve, the installation went fine, however after a reboot, the installer started again, I stopped vm, started back. Then I now get; "BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0): Not Found" and it says ">>Start PXE over IPv4." and then IPv6. Any clue please? 07:02:37 sounds like it tries to netboot? 07:03:05 did you install openbsd bootloader on disk? or you're setting up a diskless node 07:03:34 zip100: Yes, I picked the MBR, I guess that was mistake? 07:03:38 as it's in UEFI mode 07:04:06 I've had issues with this so I prefer GPT when it's UEFI mode 07:04:12 but it should fallback anyway 07:04:41 does it hang on PXE? maybe it will go through when it fails to netboot? 07:13:31 zip100: No, it tries IPv4, IPv6 and returns to UEFI shell. 07:17:39 sounds like it's a wrong bootloader to me 07:18:22 i was having problems getting openbsd to boot also 07:18:28 for example, on NetBSD local disk and netbootloaders are different 08:01:18 rtprio: And how have you solved it? 08:25:27 After a successful OpenBSD 7.4 installation, and reboot, this appears in vm console: 08:25:38 https://i.ibb.co/Mn4yWnH/bsdshot.png 08:26:06 and this is the config of my VM: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/MW1Q67WD 08:26:07 Title: Mozilla Community Pastebin/MW1Q67WD (Bash) 08:26:31 I really wonder where I do mistake.. 09:07:16 hey, quick question: Which are the necessary passive FreeBSD mailing lists ot stay up-to-date? freebsd-security-notifications and freebsd-announce suffice? 12:05:43 I'd like my VMs (2 OpenBSD instances) and host machine (FreeBSD 14) to talk each other through a virtual network/virtual IP range. To do this, I did: 12:05:53 1- vm switch create -a 192.168.2.1/24 public and 2- vm switch add public re0 (my host's physical NIC) 12:06:09 And then, I set a static IP in my OpenBSD vm for itself: 192.168.2.2. Both host and my OpenBSD vm ping each other fine (in VM, I get reply from the host 192.168.2.1, and in host I get reply from VM 192.168.2.2) 12:06:51 I don't know though, if that's the correct way to do it? Without having any bridge at all? Currently, my VMs don't resolve any hostnames. Even though my ISP's nameserver IPs are in their resolv.conf file. 12:07:00 Any suggestion for DNS resolution? Installing unbound on host machine (FreeBSD 14) would be the right way? 13:11:10 tercaL: If you setup your vms with at least one gw to your ISP + proper routes, name resolution will work just fine. If your vms requires access to internet, this would normally be achievable via host-machine. 14:44:31 ok so i tried wireguard 14:44:43 the speeds are as bad as on openvopn 15:01:04 i need a freebsd network wizard 15:01:31 i mean, any vpn tunnel i like i get unacceptably low speeds 15:03:14 s/like/try 15:05:09 and normal udp traffic between the hosts in question is acceptable? 15:13:42 i don't know 15:13:56 but i know if i run the vpn on tcp it's bad as well 15:20:24 it's probably something wrong with pf or the tun device 15:20:39 most likely pf 15:25:32 https://vlepy.com/~wsky/pf.conf this is my pf config, please review it 15:27:11 or kernel config 15:28:12 did you try to messure with iperf3? https://fasterdata.es.net/performance-testing/network-troubleshooting-tools/iperf/ 15:28:13 Title: iperf2 / iperf3 15:29:16 i measured with ookla 15:29:34 server works fine outside the tunnel 15:31:44 you want to messure the connection between your hosts, some unrelated third party doesn't matter at all and does that even messure udp or something else? 15:32:36 how come it does not mattewr 15:32:37 XDD 15:32:47 i get few mbit speeds over the tunnel 15:33:33 but i will use ipterf as you say 15:34:56 if you want to know how long you need from A to B via a train, than neighter how long you need from A to C via a plane nor how long you need from B to C by foot matters 15:38:26 all i know it's barely working 15:38:27 XDD 15:39:08 i need to resolve this issue or my project can't be accomplished 15:40:04 this is what i found on the forums https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/poor-performance-in-one-direction-via-wireguard-tunnel.87805/ 15:40:06 Title: Poor performance in one direction via Wireguard tunnel | The FreeBSD Forums 15:50:53 If you're getting OpenVPN speeds on Wireguard, then it's not application specific and is somewhere lower in the stack. 15:51:25 Since it's network rootcausing you'll be doing, I recommend starting with the lowest OSI layers first and work your way up. 15:54:09 have you got any details on what should i do? 16:20:25 > As well as a much closer reading of the pf.conf manual. Turns out that yes, leaving that as the default was the source of the issues. If I adjust my scrub on the dcr1 side from: 16:20:33 funky 16:21:01 I guess by default we just reassemble these massive fragments then end up breaking them back down when forwarding 16:21:54 probably can't do much about that, in the common case (inbound packet destined ultimately for local host) that's not a problem at all 17:04:27 Hello 17:04:56 I tried "rsync -auvi --dry-run htdocs/ htdocs1/" to find the newly edited files in the 1st dir 17:05:47 but I cannot single out the files that where edited more recently 17:44:03 cadmio1: `--log-format=%M\ %f` would print the last modified date and the file 19:16:18 Hi, does anyone know of any particular reason that there is no BSD devroom at FOSDEM '24? 19:16:48 Hello. When i run freebsd-version -u I am showed 13.2-RELEASE-p9, however when I run it with -k, the kernal is showing me 13.2-RELEASE-p8. Is there a way to have the kernal match the userland or is this normal? 19:16:59 it is normal 19:17:24 rtprio, thanks. is there a source or somewhere where I can find this on my own in future? 19:19:38 i'm not sure about that; i just know if there's not an update for userland it stays behind. perhaps someone else has a citation. 19:19:54 Ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye out 19:20:23 This question comes up a lot and seems to confuse people. I wonder if it's worth adding some information (like a disclaimer) to freebsd-version to prevent that? 19:20:50 Or perhaps an extra note in the freebsd-version man page 19:21:28 I'd be more interested in a change log of sorts. I can't seem to find any notes regarding the patches on the freebsd website (maybe I just havent it) 19:21:35 *havent found it 19:23:56 Yes, it would be nice if the Security Advisories page listed what each patch affected 19:48:30 Sus 22:31:53 My freebsd server is panic'ing with "ffs_blkfree_cg: freeing free block" on attempting to boot into multi user.Attempting to load "Single user" simply hangs. What do I do? 22:34:41 adonis: what's the full backtrace? 22:35:16 https://i.imgur.com/9LuW2pX.png 22:37:28 it seems possible my hypervisor (freebsd running as vm) may have incorrectly restarted/shutdown freebsd? I am also seeing errors stating: "/ was not properly dismounted", and "/var was not properly dismounted" 22:38:39 I figure maybe fsck will fix this but not sure how to run it without being able to get into Single user mode.. 23:02:55 ok, problem solved.. used the live cd image to run fsck -y on each of the boot drive partitions.. pheeww.. 23:03:01 no more panic 23:05:16 is it normal to see high interrupts.. top is showing > 60%.. this was a pre-existing issue prior to the panic issue I had above. 23:33:12 On my physical desktop I never see interrupt load > 1%
