Howdy, folks!

Nicholaus04: hey

I have FreeBSD 14.2 running on a NVIDIA GPU, but when I try to run nvidia-settings I get a crash with the following error: paste.ee/p/DCX1X

In /boot/loader.conf I have hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1 and in /etc/rc.conf I have kld_list="nvidia nvidia-modeset nvidia-drm".

iio7: is that how the FreeBSD handbook guides you to do it?

The Handbook is missing the modeset and drm part, but other than that, yes.

have you tried it without. exactly as the handbook specifies?

if not, try that and see if the results are better

I found the problem, I had LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME and VDPAU_DRIVER set to i965 because I previously ran with the Intel GPU.

good catch

glad you got it figured out

what Nvidia GPU is it?

It's an old GTX 1050Ti, but it works great. I needed it for an upgrade on the monitor, the Intel GPU could not drive 1440p.

the_oz: pretty sure mac OS actually has a port of pf

It looks like the #poudriere channel is dead? I should write to freebsd-pkg⊙fo if I have a poudriere-related question?

Only if you can do it in l33t 5p34k. Old school hackers on that mailing list.

Ove_: The oldest coolest guys are on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc of course. But there aren't many of them left. Perhaps I will cross-post.

Howdy, folks!

Ove_: I just ended up opening a boring Github ticket.

It seems that Poudriere is coercing your build system into installation everything without write permissions into the staging dirs. This can break all sorts of post-installation hooks.

I want to download one of the *.qcow2.xz images for qemu. what's the difference between the BASIC-CLOUDINIT and the other images that are listed here download.freebsd.org/releases/VM-IMAGES/14.2-RELEASE/amd64/Latest

m_ben: one you most likely want is download.freebsd.org/releases/VM-IM…BSD-14.2-RELEASE-amd64-zfs.qcow2.xz

I'm not 100% sure what the cloudinit ones are. I would guess they are for cloud providers though

yep
