why the rc2 and rc3 actions taken off 14.1 release process?

polyex: oh sweet, soon 14.1

Title: BSD Now 561: Kicked off ARPANET

polyex: Pretty sure release candidates are only used for new major releases. Minor releases (14.1 in this case) are cut from stable.

docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/freebsd-releng doesn't explicate this, but it has useful information

Having real trouble with time zones here. My time zone is set to Europe/London, but it's one hour off. If I set time to GMT, it's two hours off…

Made sure to copy Europe/London from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime, but it's still one hour off

rwp: well that kinda ruins the idea of the audit command

the audit command is to identify possible security issues...

Hey everyone, I just set up freebsd on my thinkpad T480s :D . Mostly everything seems to work, only the media controls don't seem to be picked up. Anyone got a clue if I need to install some extra driver?

mccd: what does "not picked up" mean? in case you are running X, will xev see anything?

Well running wayland, but yeah the equivalent will not pick up anything

wev is the name, if I run it and press brightness up/down and audio buttons, nothing happens

nvm audio buttons are picked up, but not brightness

polarian, What it means is that one must review each of the CVEs now and understand them each and determine how each of them affects you.

mccd, On GNU/Linux on recent Thinkpads I have the same problem. I have to bind those keys into the ACPI system so that they work. For Debian/Devuan I wrote this up: proulx.com/~bob/doc/thinkpad-x220-l…keys/thinkpad-x220-laptop-keys.html

rwp, ty, not sure what the equivalent to acpi_listen is called on freebsd

can't find it

I haven't done the same media key setup on FreeBSD yet. And I see mccd has left.

anyone knows that trick that allows me to reset terminal from keyboard (i'm on framebuffer and tmux atm)

afaik it should be doable with some ctrl-sth

do you mean clear, like Ctrl-L?

jmnbtslsQE: exactly

Control-L is almost universally used everywhere to redraw the screen. bash does a clear screen first.

how can I su or something to a user that has nologin as their shell?

pie_, AFAIK on FreeBSD you can't. On GNU systems the util-linux su has a shell override option. But not on FreeBSD. Therefore you can only use a different program such as sudo or doas.

Using sudo one can do this to run a command (such as id) as daemon: sudo -u daemon -s /bin/sh -c id

right, ok
