00:30:19 working for me ok - status page "We have fully rolled-back the changes to database infrastructure and mitigated the impact.". Translate 'someone did a MICROSOFT and rolled out a system update without proper test and now we're scrambling' 00:45:31 or rather MS did an MS ;) 00:54:42 can't boot after installing zfs on root from memstick. i tried them all. just did a GPT/UEFI install. when i go into a live system from the USB, and do `mkdir /tmp/root` and `zpool import -rF /tmp/root zroot`, i `cd /tmp/root` and `ls` and only see `home tmp usr var zroot`, and `ls zroot` is empty. should i be able to get to `/boot` ? or even `/etc` or `/rescue`? 00:58:46 `sysctl -a | grep bootmethod` returns BIOS. `efibootmgr -v` complains that efi variables aren't supported. but GPT/BIOS or MBR/BIOS installs don't work either (at least for zfs) 01:42:15 if i mount ada0p1 onto `/tmp/boot` and look around, it looks normal, with `efi/boot/bootx64.efi` and `efi/freebsd/loader.efi`, but it seems like there's a missing root file system where it only set up the various datasets but not the actual root filesystem.. i think... 02:15:03 Run 'freebsd-update [options] fetch' first. 02:15:12 im getting this when i run: freebsd-update install 02:20:03 scoobybejesus: not sure of the answer to your question but don't you mean -R for zpool impot ? 02:21:32 rwp: thanks, knew you hadn't misunderstood my point because of your reply.. others though.. not so much. Anyhow i did the zfs list .. it reported additional columns but didn't see the pool size there.. was going to paste, but pastebin went bye-bye as well... :/ 02:26:02 -fR yes :) 02:29:52 rwp, https://pastebin.com/raw/sKdjYrAh 03:02:43 any text editors that automatically reload if the file it's showing changes? 03:13:30 Michelle, I think any of the pastebins are okay but the topic's suggested one has been down for months now. I don't think it is ever getting fixed. 03:14:21 Michelle, For pool size you mean the size reported by "zpool list" right? 03:32:00 kakoune does it ty! 03:32:14 polyex, emacs has auto-revert-mode 03:32:23 er, kbye :\ 04:12:40 I use emacs and I use auto-revert-mode at the times it is needed. Works well. 07:00:06 remiliascarlet: sure. systemd caused an outrage in the linux world. but was that outrage based upon actual user experience or just people going "it's new and therefore i don't like it!". 07:11:18 SKull: why not both? 08:56:29 rwp, Im outta practice... shoulda done the obvious... https://pastebin.com/raw/NqjxPz1N 10:54:42 Hi! 10:54:46 I'm looking to compile and install x11/libinput from ports, but it has a dependency on some python libraries. I'd rather not have the python libraries and I think they're only needed because of some scripts that come bundled with libinput, not libinput itself. There's no config option to disable the scripts, is it possible for me to add one? 10:58:24 I'm happy figuring out how to do this, just want to know if there's any obvious reason it isn't possible and if I should send a patch to the ports repo with the change once I'm done 11:14:11 shtanton: as long as those parts really are optional and can be seperated out, you can of course propose a patch to introduce an OPTION, the port maintainer will have the last word there, as they have to maintain the port and each added OPTION adds complexity, so look into the porters handbook https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/ what you need to change and when you have a working 11:14:13 patch propose it via bugs.freebsd.org 11:15:26 Thanks! I'll read through the porters handbook and double check that I'm not removing anything that's required 11:23:34 port build issue: multimedia/x265 has a bad checksum on one of the patch files. Not sure if already ficed or not 11:23:44 fixed 11:24:06 'make patch' reveals it 11:27:12 probably, do you have commit 88c12b53a49ce5d7686cfcda9e2409ed3c1bd0f2 ? 11:38:13 not yet apparently. looks like fix is in frshports though. I am building antwat with NO_CHECKSUM since it is just a patch file 11:38:34 anyway not antwat 11:39:11 stupid keyboard cannot type/spell 11:39:21 how about updating your ports tree? 11:39:45 not while I'm building. I need consisteny 11:41:33 updates are overrated unless it truly fixes something. This process every 2-3 years in a VM first, then applied to 1 workstation at a time. So consistency and no moving targets 11:42:02 this treeeis like less than 2 weeks ago 11:42:49 once it builds I copy as-is to othe boxen with distfiles 11:43:13 then when I need to add something, it just WORKS 11:43:46 how about creating a pkg repo? 11:44:05 (or reconfig - oh crap gadget-thing needs x1234 support - make config,nbuild, re-install) 11:46:30 I recommend against using make config put the stuff you want changed in make.conf 12:10:30 so how do you NOT get the config dialog boxes then? 12:11:47 set BATCH=1 (well, poudriere does that for me) 12:12:16 I use onfig-recursive to get them all over with at once. options change every time, like adding wayland. If it were possible to put in make.conf I'd do so. But it's not always so easy 12:14:02 what problems do you have with putting it in make.conf? 12:15:10 keep in mind, 1000 or so ports for a clean install of 14.1-RELEASE, built from scratch in a VM. that is the target fo the BSD workstations. Do it here and updating world/kernel and ports is a breeze 12:15:59 oh, found another - mate-terminal chokes on the lingo files. disabled jobs, finished ok 12:16:03 hi 12:16:24 Having troubles with permissions. It is: -rw-r----- 1 prosody prosody 241 Aug 15 04:20 privkey.pem 12:16:30 prosody: certmanager errorSSL/TLS: Failed to load '/usr/local/etc/prosody/certs/betsu.org/privkey.pem': Check that the permissions allow Prosody to read this file. (for betsu.org) 12:16:55 What went wrong? it's freebsd 13.1 jail under truenas core 12:17:11 most of my incremental rebuilds are about 1000 packages, full about 2300 I think 12:17:17 acl is not enabled 12:19:03 rosmi_th - how about the firectory tree containing thhe pem file? 12:19:21 directory 12:19:38 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Aug 15 04:20 certs / drw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 9 Aug 15 05:06 betsu.org 12:20:24 you need x to enter directories 12:20:43 ? 12:21:29 drw----r-- 2 prosody wheel 2 Aug 15 04:51 certs - still same 12:21:30 right you can open files directly but if the application tries to cd or list it, probably breaks. maybe even stat breaks. 12:21:53 How do I set it? 12:22:15 directories should be 755 for 'other'read 12:22:45 chmod 755 /dir/name/goes/here 12:23:12 sec 12:23:20 as root if needed 12:26:38 solved, thanks 12:26:43 might be a good time to look over 'man chmoc' and maybe 'man chown' 12:26:50 yeah, sure. 12:27:08 er 'man chmod' (stupid keyboard) 12:27:29 Just haven't did anything related for a long while, forget many things. 12:27:32 Thanks for help. 12:27:39 np 14:01:14 how does this look? https://soniex2.autistic.space/posts/2024/08/14-ipv6-eh-death.xhtml 14:16:29 does anyone use letsencrypt on freebsd over here? i need a line to apply in cron for freebsd 14.0 14:23:17 mane: certbot comes with its own periodic scripts which can be enabled with something like weekly_certbot_enable="YES" in /etc/periodic.conf 14:24:32 vkarlsen: ok how do i enable the script after creating periodic.conf and addding the line? 14:24:36 vkarlsen: ok how do i enable the script after creating periodic.conf and addding the line?? 14:24:42 should i restart cron? 14:25:05 mane: That's all, you've enabled it 14:25:15 cool 14:25:18 thanks a bunch 14:25:23 No prob 14:25:26 <33 14:36:49 vkarlsen: but there are no certbot scripts in /etc/periodic 14:38:14 ok there is /usr/local/etc/periodic/weekly/500.certbot-3.11 14:38:18 cool 14:57:46 Michelle, Your pastes of the data look like all normal to me. I don't know if you are pasting because you think something is still wrong? If so then we (I at least) will need some detail about a part that seems mismatched. Then we can dig into that detail and sort it out. 16:34:00 well, so far this has been the easiest mate desktop build I've seen. I guess grabbing a ports tree at the beginning of a month helps 16:34:37 omly 2 problems, both minor (one fixed already). 18:19:24 This may sound like madness, but I have an odd situation where local storage is significantly slower than network storage due to hardware limitations. Can I make a swap file on NFS and have FreeBSD use it? 18:25:27 that will be inefficient as nfs devices are not real block aligned devices, and could e.g. give away your password to others accessing the nfs 18:26:34 consider using iscsi instead of nfs 19:34:02 iscsi++ 19:36:09 If you use iscsi, for the love of all that is holy, make sure that the block device is not accessible world wide without authentication. 19:36:17 Don't ask how I know. You know. :°) 19:37:23 iSCSI networks should be treated like SANs. 19:37:47 Isolated subnets/vlans with no routes off. 22:11:06 /join ##fpgsa 23:02:55 so im trying to install freebsd on an old computer.. install complains base.txz chksum is wrong 23:03:25 so i dropped to shell to sha256sum base.txz 23:04:04 turns out the resulting output is different everytime 23:04:23 what could be wrong ? 23:16:00 HER: Bad RAM, bad disk controller, bad disk. 23:16:18 Bad SATA cable maybe. 23:16:53 right 23:17:09 thanks 23:37:53 is dmesg showing errors? If this is a spinning disk `smarctl -t long` from a (linux) live usb 23:44:46 its not a spinning disk. curiously i was able to install freebsd on the machine.. after some days the machine crashed with a: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode 23:45:39 now its randomly crashing.. and im trying to re-install to see if that fixes.. however the problem seems to be hardware somehow 23:52:42 oh it might be ram then 23:53:12 several (overnight) passes of memtest might be useful 23:54:24 kernel mode PF on an otherwise stable release indicates a high chance of memory corruption
