Hmm

When I want to package my own apps without adding them to the official ports tree, where do I put them so that I can still install them with `pkg`?

i think wherever and just pass the path with a flag?

alepzi So I would just do `pkg install /path/to/myapp.pkg?

think so. check out man pkg

So what's the difference between this approach and having my own port?

My plan is to use pkg similar to VoidLinux's xbps `repository=<URL>` `where <URL> is either a local directory or a URL to a remote repository.`

i try to mount a flash drive and it says mount: /dev/da0pi: Input/output error what i'm doing wrong?

How do you mount the dev?

mount /dev/da0p1 ~/mount/da0p1

works on other flash drives but not this 1?

oh nvm

alepzi, /var/log/messages should give you more info, if you haven't looked yet.

i was trying to mount an install image and i forgot that never mounts

hey i saw 14.1 is coming p soon. that's cool freebsd releases are coming a little bit more often

1 per quarter alternating between bleeding edge major version and stable major version is good

4 releases this year, 13.3, 14.1, 13.4, 14.2

then like 15.0, 14.3, 15.1, 14.4

I am currently accessing a large pax tarball over NFS and my whole laptop running freebsd 14 is freezing on and off while i'm trying to use my web browser

What is causing this and how to fix it?

My system load is only 1

The only thing going on is heavy network reads and sequential writes to the filesystem (zfs) as tar loads in files over NFS

Is this an issue with the kernel's interactivity?

It's the flux capacitor.

Oh no not that

Does freebsd need to be retuned for interactive (desktop) use?

no

maybe change powerd profile from performance (server) to balanced (desktop)?

other than that just configure shit to work and it's good

lol

sfox Is there high disk IO?

systat -iostat or iostat 1

Let me check

It's a fresh install

luser i'm not sure what's considered high but tps cycles between 500 and 0

I don't know why it's ocilating, it should be completely smooth. It's a sequential tarball reading from an ssd over nfs over gige to another ssd

I don't think that should be happening

I certainly don't get these issues when copying large data streams over NFS.

So it is an anomaly.

sfox: could be bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275594 ?

The power is plugged in so it should be in hiadaptive

This is really annoying. I'm trying to play videos and they keep stuttering

Even when i set kern.sched.preempt_thresh=250

The only thing that does is seem to make the stutters last shorter instead of seconds

Ms

Should i continue setting it higher?

I would id the actual cause before messing with tunables.

.

gee thanks freebsd! my laptop has 202 days uptime.

Hello. Is there an updated list of supported SoCs?

or perhaps this is updated? freebsd.org/platforms/arm

Title: FreeBSD/ARM Project | The FreeBSD Project

Because I remember I had an Allwinner H3 and it was working

and it's not listed there

does ipfw's check-state action allow related ICMP packets like fragmentation needed (for pmtu)?

ok, apparently not, according to the very last paragraph of ipfw(8)

Using Xorg and Windowmaker, whenever I press the "up" arrow, a little preview thumbnail pops up in the corner of the display showing a preview of my screen. Any idea what is responsible for this? The behaviour started fairly recently and it's driving me nuts...

oh wow, I should have read the release notes.

> Window Maker 0.96.0 was released on August 5th 2023

> In WPrefs “Keyboard Shortcut Preferences” tab, three new actions can be configured: “Capture a portion of the screen”, “Capture a window”, “Capture the entire screen”. The file is saved in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Screenshots directory under a filename format “screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S” followed by the extension. Which can be png or jpg based on WRaster dependencies.
