Hiya/ I think I need to install a meta port to make the linuxulator go. Do I want c7 or r19? Or something else?

gh00p: if you install "linux-discord" it will do the right one for you anyway ;)

but you want the rl9 one (Rocky Linux 9)

Hrm. I'm trying to get dependencies for `WinBox`. Are you serious about discord?

I haven't even heard of Rocky Linux before. :)

Thanks tho.

Oh... Is it not available as a pkg? Or perhaps I have something else wrong..

ah, nevermind me. Just not wearing my glasses.

pkg install linux_base-rl9

Ya, I got it when I copy/pasted instead of retyping what I thought I saw. :)

But if I need glx/mesa, am I stuck? Or might I have to go with c7?

gh00p: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

you can actually do a Debian 12 install that is probably the most up to date option

I'm trying to run the Linux version of WinBox, the MikroTik configuration tool. It reports:

./WinBox: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-glx.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

"Linux version of WinBox" is odd for sure ;)

Better than the Windows version of LinBok, perhaps. ;)

I'm sure there's some legacy reason for the name that made sense at some point.

Ah hah, x11/linux-rl9-xcb-util moved me a step forward. Now to seek out each dependency...

If you need it bad enough, I can get my bookmark for doing a fairly full Debian 12 install. with this one, you can even chroot into it and run "apt install pkgname" and stuff

That sounds sexy. I had Debian running in a jail a while back, but it fell too far behind.. If it's handy, I'd love to try your install.

Perhaps WinBox won't be possible without a VM. Stuck on EGL which I think is in mesa.

Though I'd love to try things with your Debian install.

I'll google real fast and see if I can find the documentation for the Debian 12 method. Give me a second, if I can't find it -- I'll plug the monitor back into my Linux machine, I know for sure it is bookmarked there

Thank you!

gh00p: actually it is further down the page docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/linuxemu

but instead of debootstrap focal /compat/ubuntu -- you are gonan run: debootstrap bookworm /compat/debian

then you chroot into it as it shows

it has apt inside of it and everything

Thanks again! I'll give it a try. :)

after inside the debian chroot, I made edits to the sources.list to include more packages (like non-free) and so on

I literally just googled "Debian sources.list" and the Debian website gave me working examples of what I needed

Hi chat

does anyone know how to use the FreeBSD framebuffers in C?

Im trying but i can only get a top portion of the screen to be filled with the color

```#include <sys/ioctl.h>#include <sys/consio.h>#include <sys/fbio.h>#include <sys/mman.h>#include <fcntl.h>#include <unistd.h>#include <stdint.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) { struct fbtype info; int fd, fsize; uint32_t* fbuf;

if ((fd = open(ttyname(STDOUT_FILENO), O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK)) < 0) { perror("open"); return -1; }

if (ioctl(fd, FBIOGTYPE, &info) == -1) { perror("ioctl(FBIOGTYPE)"); return -1; }

printf("Depth= %d, width= %d, height= %d\n", info.fb_depth, info.fb_width, info.fb_height); fsize = (info.fb_depth / 8) * info.fb_width * info.fb_height; printf("Framebuffer size is 0x%x\n", fsize); unsigned int pixelAmount = info.fb_width * info.fb_height;

if ((fbuf = mmap(NULL, fsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0)) == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); return -1; }

for (int j = 0; j < info.fb_height; j++) { for (int i = 0; i < info.fb_width; i++) { fbuf[i + (j * info.fb_width)] = 0xFFFF7D7D; // 0xAARRGGBB } }}```

uhhh

why didn't it insert as code block?

yeah ugg

irc is hard

I suppose i can just send the file

oh wait

its IRC

theres /me thing

lemme try

ACTION #include <sys/ioctl.h>#include <sys/consio.h>#include <sys/fbio.h>#include <sys/mman.h>#include <fcntl.h>#include <unistd.h>#include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { struct fbtype info; int fd, fsize; uint32_t* fbuf; if ((fd = open(ttyname(STDOUT_FILENO), O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK)) < 0) { perror("open"); return -1; } if (ioctl(fd, FBIOGTYPE, &info) == -1) { perror("ioctl(FBIOGT

YPE)"); return -1; } printf("Depth= %d, width= %d, height= %d\n", info.fb_depth, info.fb_width, info.fb_height); fsize = (info.fb_depth / 8) * info.fb_width * info.fb_height; printf("Framebuffer size is 0x%x\n", fsize); unsigned int pixelAmount = info.fb_width * info.fb_height; if ((fbuf = mmap(NULL, fsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0)) == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); return

-1; } for (int j = 0; j < info.fb_height; j++) { for (int i = 0; i < info.fb_width; i++) { fbuf[i + (j * info.fb_width)] = 0xFFFF7D7D; // 0xAARRGGBB } }}

use a pastebin for the love of christ

the bsd.to stuff in the announcement thing are unresponsive, im using some random one i found btw

U2C97: this isn't slack, ``` doesn't work that way

I got pretty used to it, since its used for code blocks literally everywhere

and assumed IRC too

IRC predates markdown :)

icb -> irc

does link(2), when passed a path to a symlink as the first argument, hardlink the symlink or the target of the symlink?
