lm: I ended up installing my own VM image in the end, because the ones provided by FreeBSD are not only incomplete, they're too small to even pull the ports tree.

Anyone know of a lightstack that can be paired with cgit for CI ? Not looking for much more than a hook to run certain jobs and then see if those jobs passed or failed on a webpage.

there a way to append some text into a file? need to simulate a log entry event

Title: Redirection - FreeBSDwiki

before pipe | << >>

example shows like sudo foo >> /var/log/test.log

but i get permission denied?

yeah well /var/log ownership and group

uid gid

but sudo should let me no?

you are fumbling around

i dont know are put of that sudo users?

i dont know are part of the sudo users

polyex, sudo only elevates the privilages of the command "foo", the redirection will then run as regular user which is why it fails

sudoers and do logging

rennj why waste your time typing unintelligible stuff? useless

LOG_INPUT: LOG_OUTPUT: ALL it only unintelligible to you

polyex, you can use sudo sh -c "foo >> /var/log/test.log"

but keep insulting me, maybe i wont bother helping you

as an example of how to make sure the redirect runs with the elevated permission

edenist says foo not found. i'll try echo

well I was just using the example you used, haha. Whatever commands you want to redirect all need to be encapsulated in the quotes

whoa

that original version 1

i was testing my epson scsi scanner on beos

nice

i remember the BeOS irc chat they had ;-l

tv-card, scsi scanner..life was good

vncviewer to my freebsd box

you needed a server for beos..it couldnt do everything unices could do, broken tcp/ip stack

rip

rip is modern browser is killer app..haiku os, amiga os, solaris, hp-ux, irix dont have

firefox esr 52..ancient

hope the bsd's can keep up...

uphill battle

i don't know what i would use if freebsd ceased to exist

i know what you mean...

:(

m$/crapple i didnt like back in 80's

dos 6.0 stacker/doublespace trashed data... and crapple has always been walled garden

9front "do not install" love!

current distro

its really sad bell labs/lucent plan9 didnt progress

$ billions dumped into linux, for what a bad copy, bad man pages..

kernel is capable for sure...but man userspace 10GB of bloat

kernel busybox/toybox is embedded is saner

polyex, the freebsd handbook you could save $60 bucks and just read that

does anybody here know about crochet?

i think this is a bug

you followed the mesg: Please install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3 and re-run this script. You can do this with:.....

read the that txt again nomia

$ sudo pkg install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3 or by building the port:

seems like its telling you what to do, before you follow the forums

dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3/u-boot.img conv=notrunc,sync of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=40 the final step

i tried both

so i have the u-boot bc i installed the pkg?

find / -name u-boot.img says what ?

dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=40

This assumes that mmclk0 is your microSD card writer on your computer. My card writer is da0.

so says the forum post

so you got the "u-boot.img" somewhere on harddisk

how do i get the rest of freebsd for bpi-m3?

that is what crochet is for ya?

i would assume for ports/pkgs

no clue what crochet is

dd if=u-boot.img conv=notrunc,sync of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=40 final step

if you know the sdhc card device

im just going on forum post

it looks like its a script for making freebd images for arm boards

looks like you built it

somewhere on drive

find / -name u-boot.img

ok but that is only u-boot

how do i get the os image?

ahh..yeah no clue...x86/x86_64 ftw!

):

arm devtree uboot is for the birds!

each fricking device has its unique devtree

find / -name u-boot.img

root@fbsdtemp:/crochet

#

there are no files in /crochet/work/

i think this is all bugs

Please install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3 and re-run this script.

You can do this with: $ sudo pkg install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3

that does nothing

try from ports rather pkg?

pkg is some elses built binarys

ports is building local

the pkg

Title: FreshPorts -- sysutils/u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3: Cross-build das u-boot for model sinovoip-bpi-m3

wget -c pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/la…/u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3-2024.01.pkg

pkg install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3

yeah thats wrong on freshports

pkg install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3.pkg correct command

the one you downloaded..not using pkg to go fetch it

once you download it...

pkg info u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3

after the install command...see what system says

or build from ports

should have gone riscV, the future, not arm, sifive

if it isnt x86_64 then it better be riscV...only 2 isa's that matter..hehe

wget -c pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/la…/u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3-2024.01.pkg

pkg install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3.pkg

pkg info u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3.pkg

those 3 commands

grr

pkg install u-boot-sinovoip-bpi-m3-2024.01.pkg

nice

wish i could just sideload something though instead of modifying the image

funny how i would have never found this if it wasnt indexed on slideshare

would have probably worked it out eventually

well, that still only partly helps

is there a dtrace predicate that filters a syscall by jail?

to a specific* jail

any clue why, despite having sendmail_cert_create="NO", _msp_queue_enable="NO", _outbound_enable="NO", _submit_enable="NO", sendmail still logs to /var/messages gethostbyaddr failed warning? to what lengths do i have to go to completely disable sendmail ffs?

Hi!, in a VMWare ESX I'm running a VM with FreeBSD and one datastore that I use as a ZFS Pool. Now that pool is full.

It is safe to expand de datastore from Vmware?

I don't know if it is (no experience with VMWare), but in similar situations with VirtualBox, I've added another virtual disk to the VM configuration, partitioned it in the VM, and added the partition to the zpool.

should be safe, but backup before you leap

Finally I added the new disk as a vdev to the pool.

The backup is done a the VMWare level.

any clue why, despite having sendmail_cert_create="NO", _msp_queue_enable="NO", _outbound_enable="NO", _submit_enable="NO", sendmail still logs to /var/messages gethostbyaddr failed warning? to what lengths do i have to go to completely disable sendmail ffs?

sendmail_enable="NONE"

when i tested that a couple years ago it didn't disable as much as the 4 NO statements

is it fixed or?

unless that's changed in the last like 10 years.. i don't know i've been building world without sendmail for a long time now..

oh the handbook has been updated with how to fully disable sendmail. handbook mail page sendmail section. need to disable some /etc/periodic.conf stuff

nice!

hi, i have a fresh bsd install working with 1 nvme (nda0). I added a second nvme, but "gpart show" only shows 1 disk: nda0. However i can see the second disk in /dev/nda1 . should gpart show/list show both disk or only the 1st as its doing now ?

ok i just went over forums.freebsd.org/threads/gpart-do…t-recognize-newly-added-disks.78647
