evening, morning, or afternoon, depending on your physicality

It's always UGT on the net. Good morning. Your nick makes me want to malloc(); :-)

Q: arm/BeagleBoneBlack purports that 13.3-R boots on the BBB, but no pre-built images are in the ftp area for it. The release notes say it is no longer supported. Does anyone have a pointer to cross-compile instructions when the host is another fbsd box?

(I love my BBGreens and FreeBSD. Sad to see that the OMAP 32-bit stuff is going unsupported in the next major version(s))

rwp: exactly. I'm old school.

I'm a bit new to cross-compiling the entire world from the desktop box to an embedded target of a different arch, but I do this for userland stuff during my day job. I expect that there is a nice webpage (or readme) somewhere that I haven't yet found

Me too! Unfortunately I have no information for you on the BBB image. Hopefully someone else will know something. If no one knows anything wiki.freebsd.org/IRC/Channels says there is an #freebsd-embedded channel so maybe there?

quite possibly, thanks!

question. so i tried mounting a ext4 linux drive with mount -t ext2fs with uid=1001 and that complained about the uid. without the uid option it mounted fine but the ownership remained 1000, so i then tried to use fusefs-lkl with lklfuse -o type=ext4,rw,uid=1000 and now the process is just frozen :\

oops typo, it's with the uid=1001 option

but ya process is just frozen, can't even umount it

Hi there

I'm trying to make an image and partition it here is my steps: truncate -s 100M img && mdconfig -a -t vnode -f img -u 100

then when I'm trying to partition it, ghart shows and error: gpart destroy -F /dev/md100 -> gpart: arg0 'md100': Invalid argumen

any other command on the md100 cause the same error

you have to give gpart a geom, not a path, so just md100 not /dev/md100

nerozero: maybe it's just because you have not yet called gpart create on it yet? you have tried something like gpart create -s gpt md100?

hmm, when i try it, before running gpart create i have invalid argument for destroy only, not for other commands.

does the file already have a table on it?

ah no i see you have just created the file. then "invalid argument" is expected if you try to destroy it, but "gpart create" should work...

jmnbtslsQE, weird

Hi!, after upgrading to 14.1 I no longer can open graphical apps from /compat/linux. This is the error I'm getting: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

BTW, I'm on XFCE4 on the host

What are the /usr/share/games/fortune/*.dat files? Like a binary index of each fortune file?

Hmmmm. . . found a non-answer in src/usr.bin/fortune/Notes

what's the answer?

Well, the non-answer is: bpa.st/PLWA

OIC, the .dat files are created by strfile(8).

So I guess they are an index of sorts.

I just hexdumped freebsd-tips.dat and it seems to have the same amount of aphorisms in freebsd-tips

grep '^%$' fortune-file | wc -l # amount of fortunes in file

nmz, grep -c '^%$' fortune-file

Save the keystrokes!

bah

I'm pro pipes

but thanks, good to know

I'm pro-pipes too, when necessary.

Save the forking!

That better?

I mean, if I want to save the forking, I'd just switch to something else

I tend to prototype in shell

the less I know, especially of flags, the better

If I have a task where I can recycle my *nix CLI saavy in 100 lines or less, I'll write a shell script. . . if it takes more than that, I whip out Python.

heh

I say that, but sometime, in the moment, I start something I think will be a quick & easy couple of piped commands, and end-up with a stupidly epic one-liner.

it all depends really

not even python can beat grep

or rg

so if the entire pipe can take care of everything great, its when you constantly fork that it all goes to hell

speaking of forks, news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41364412

nmz: i'd have added cat before your grep ;]

i don't respect forks

i build code left to right.

cat file | over <file any day

It shouldn't be this complicated to get the primary IP of a system. Does such a tool exist in the base system for this common task? ... IP_ADDRESS=$(ifconfig $(netstat -4rn | grep ^default | sed "s/.* //") inet | awk '$1 == "inet" {print $2}')

and that will probably only work for the most simplest setups :)

That says freebsd-rustdate is a reimplementation, not a fork.

tuaris: the problem is that 'primary' is not well defined

Has anyone figured out a way to get change the boot colors on v14.1 to a OpenBSD style blue background with white text for kernel messages? It seems the TERMINAL_KERN_ATTR option mentioned in vt(4) no longer works :/

Oh wait. rustdate.over-yonder.net/faq.html#rust

mccd: try teken.{fg,bg}_color in loader.conf, maybe

the problem sounds familiar

kevans: fourth times the charm, turns out I managed to mess up the config 4 times, even though I did it first time on my phone... don't question how... but I think its something to do with tons of ambigious base64 strings which causes you to mix them up

Demosthenex: that would be redundant KILL WITH FIRE

greybeard: the fork problem is in freebsd-update doing lotsa forks on a while loop that makes it take 20 minutes

s/problem/point/

is there a way to adjust route priorities?

reconnect

oops

tuaris: I mean, why have more command when less do?

so we can't have multiple sysctl config files? we can have /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.d/*, but we only got /etc/sysctl.conf and .local, no /etc/sysctl.conf.d/*?

Hate to have to ask a vi question, but how do you get to the end of a line besides shift-A?

Oh duh. . .

nevermind.

^ and $ aren't just for regex.

polyex, per man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=s…path=FreeBSD+14.1-RELEASE+and+Ports

polyex, For kernel modules loaded via rc.subr(8) system, additional module-spe-

cific settings can be applied by adding a file in the same format named

/etc/sysctl.kld.d/<modulename>.conf.

ugh.

there's also .local.
