02:43:15 <__sbrk> evening, morning, or afternoon, depending on your physicality 02:44:14 It's always UGT on the net. Good morning. Your nick makes me want to malloc(); :-) 02:44:27 <__sbrk> 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? 02:45:03 <__sbrk> (I love my BBGreens and FreeBSD. Sad to see that the OMAP 32-bit stuff is going unsupported in the next major version(s)) 02:45:23 <__sbrk> rwp: exactly. I'm old school. 02:46:53 <__sbrk> 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 02:48:13 Me too! Unfortunately I have no information for you on the BBB image. Hopefully someone else will know something. If no one knows anything https://wiki.freebsd.org/IRC/Channels says there is an #freebsd-embedded channel so maybe there? 02:50:10 <__sbrk> quite possibly, thanks! 03:55:42 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 :\ 03:56:25 oops typo, it's with the uid=1001 option 03:56:44 but ya process is just frozen, can't even umount it 09:42:50 Hi there 09:43:58 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 09:44:48 then when I'm trying to partition it, ghart shows and error: gpart destroy -F /dev/md100 -> gpart: arg0 'md100': Invalid argumen 09:45:06 any other command on the md100 cause the same error 09:50:45 you have to give gpart a geom, not a path, so just md100 not /dev/md100 10:43:19 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? 10:44:45 hmm, when i try it, before running gpart create i have invalid argument for destroy only, not for other commands. 10:46:00 does the file already have a table on it? 10:47:16 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... 11:02:42 jmnbtslsQE, weird 14:18:57 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. 14:19:18 BTW, I'm on XFCE4 on the host 16:40:25 What are the /usr/share/games/fortune/*.dat files? Like a binary index of each fortune file? 16:43:56 Hmmmm. . . found a non-answer in src/usr.bin/fortune/Notes 16:44:54 what's the answer? 16:46:06 Well, the non-answer is: https://bpa.st/PLWA 16:47:33 OIC, the .dat files are created by strfile(8). 16:49:00 So I guess they are an index of sorts. 16:51:14 I just hexdumped freebsd-tips.dat and it seems to have the same amount of aphorisms in freebsd-tips 16:54:51 grep '^%$' fortune-file | wc -l # amount of fortunes in file 18:20:31 nmz, grep -c '^%$' fortune-file 18:20:39 Save the keystrokes! 18:21:31 bah 18:21:39 I'm pro pipes 18:22:06 but thanks, good to know 18:25:47 I'm pro-pipes too, when necessary. 18:25:57 Save the forking! 18:26:03 That better? 18:36:31 I mean, if I want to save the forking, I'd just switch to something else 18:36:36 I tend to prototype in shell 18:36:49 the less I know, especially of flags, the better 18:41:40 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. 18:42:37 heh 18:43:42 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. 19:32:09 it all depends really 19:32:18 not even python can beat grep 19:32:23 or rg 19:32:44 so if the entire pipe can take care of everything great, its when you constantly fork that it all goes to hell 19:36:19 speaking of forks, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41364412 20:05:09 nmz: i'd have added cat before your grep ;] 20:05:11 i don't respect forks 20:05:17 i build code left to right. 20:05:28 cat file | over 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}') 20:16:08 and that will probably only work for the most simplest setups :) 20:16:09 That says freebsd-rustdate is a reimplementation, not a fork. 20:17:44 tuaris: the problem is that 'primary' is not well defined 20:17:51 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 :/ 20:19:26 Oh wait. https://rustdate.over-yonder.net/faq.html#rust 20:19:26 > This will give us all a good chance to show other people whether we’re hip and trendy, or old and grumpy. 20:23:48 mccd: try teken.{fg,bg}_color in loader.conf, maybe 20:23:56 the problem sounds familiar 21:16:10 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 21:45:36 Demosthenex: that would be redundant KILL WITH FIRE 21:46:00 greybeard: the fork problem is in freebsd-update doing lotsa forks on a while loop that makes it take 20 minutes 21:46:28 s/problem/point/ 21:51:22 is there a way to adjust route priorities? 22:01:03 reconnect 22:01:05 oops 22:07:41 tuaris: I mean, why have more command when less do? 22:58:14 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/*? 23:08:47 Hate to have to ask a vi question, but how do you get to the end of a line besides shift-A? 23:09:24 Oh duh. . . 23:09:26 nevermind. 23:17:48 ^ and $ aren't just for regex. 23:42:13 polyex, per https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysctl.conf&sektion=5&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.1-RELEASE+and+Ports 23:42:31 polyex, For kernel modules loaded via rc.subr(8) system, additional module-spe- 23:42:31 cific settings can be applied by adding a file in the same format named 23:42:31 /etc/sysctl.kld.d/.conf. 23:42:37 ugh. 23:43:28 there's also .local.
