Which package contains perl module IPC::Run ?

probably devel/p5-IPC-Run

Thanks - found it in the ports tree with a 'make search'

I need some grep help. . . trying to follow instructions with: grep -Po '(?<=,)[a-f0-9]{64}\s*$'

Which I presume is Gnuish. ..

CrtxReavr: Maybe you're looking for -E or -e instead of -P since that is definitely GNU-ish.

The -o should be fine, though.

are you trying to extract hashes or something else?

That'll also due.

Any issues with upgrading from 12.2 directly to 14.2? I think I've done 2 versions before without issues but figured I'd ask before I start lol

Should be fine, I've skipped versions several times. But pay attention to bootcode before upgrading your zfs pool (if applicable)

gotcha, thanks!

hi, everyone! I wish you a merry Happy Christmas! :-)

What's the relationship between CUPS and /etc/printcap? Should I set up my Brother HL-L2360DW in /etc/printcap or should I ignore it completely and set it up with CUPS?

The handbook suggests I could use /etc/printcap without CUPS. So it seems there's the native /etc/printcap and there are others such as CUPS.

Any recommendations? I'm running the latest FreeBSD and my printer is the Brother above.

It's a network printer.

would you run freebsd preferable on lattepanda sigma or lattepanda 3 delta

Howdy, folks!

And yes, i'm actually connected to libera.chat, using Unreal Tournament 99's IRC client, running on a Debian chroot, that's running via Linuxulator.

It's as weird(And stupid) as your gonna get.

:)

it works!

Yep!

refreshing to see someone doing something different, imo

Also, the version of Debian that the chroot is based on is Bookworm.

Though for extra stupid points, i might as well try connecting to Team17's WormNET IRC via UT99's IRC.

Though, the problem is UT99's IRC doesn't support supplying a PASS (Which WormNET needs), so i can't connect.

I see my lpr is actually a CPUS program. It tries to talk to the CUPS daemon. It doesn't even read /etc/printcap. So it seems to me that the old lpr is gone. Or was it gone because I installed CUPS if I did? Could I remove CUPS? I tried and it said it would remove emacs and firefox, but I need these.

Any advice?

It's mostly because firefox needs it for printing support.

If it was removed, the libraries for such support would be gone, (Supposedly) borking firefox.

AKA: No soap. :<

What crossed my mind is that perhaps if I remove CUPS, I would get back the older lpr. But I've no idea. I'm just guessing and speculating.

I have to decide whether I try to set things up for CUPS or go some older method.

/go for/

dansa: What do you get from `which lpr` with CUPS installed?

vdamewood: I get /usr/local/bin/lpr

dansa: Does /usr/bin/lpr exist?

It does!

Looks like you figured it out!

So, yeah, I'm likely using the wrong one.

Thanks! I'm now able to print text just fine.

What the manual calls "slices" is effecitvely a way to create single pool from several hard drives, isn't it? I mean, without mirror features or RAID

jemius: No. A slice is a subdivision of a fixed drive. Basically it's what everyone else calls a partition.

In the BSD world, disks can be divided into slices, and slices can be divided into partiions.

vdamewood, alright. So what do I want if I just want to "merge" two disks for a ZFS pool, without redundancy?

jemius, just throwing your discs in the trash would be less work.

:)

Reading the manual of enscript (from enscript-a4) I understand that it supports lots of encoding but not UTF-8, sadly.

jemius: I have no Idea. I don't use ZFS or multiple disks.

Hi, I just changed the window manager to mwm so I launch the system with startx. However I noticed that by default the X server is not listening on port 6000. I want that as I redirect X11 applications in another LAN server. Where/How shall I touch?

(I already checked the Handbook without success)

hi again, not sure if anyone answered the question on Xorg listening on tcp

if not, at least, where in the forum shall I post?

uskerine, have you indeed confirmed that your X server isn't listening, or is your sshd not configured to allow X11 tunneling? Or maybe your client not configured to do it?

My X server is not listening, checked with netstat -an | grep LISTEN. Why sshd is involved here? I do not want to involve sshd, it is the old plain good TCP X11 forwarding

everything was working before but I was using CDE, I do not recall what I touch (that uses dtlogin though)

so I just need where to find the configuration file

Hi, I want to update a patch for a revision in reviews.freebsd.org. but when I choose to update diff, It only allow me to create new revision. What should I do?

uskerine, you really don't want ot use "old plain good TCP X11 forwarding."

Would you use telnet?

rlogin

You see, that's exactly my point. .

Yes I do want to use that, it is a LAN environment and it is convenient

ssh was actually designed from the start as a drop-in replacment for rlogin. . . the orignal name of the binary is 'slogin' and it uses most of the same syntax. . . I'll bet you'll find it's still hard-linked to that name of your FreeBSD installs.

I am rebooting to do a test

so I modified /usr/local/bin/startx to include -listen tcp as defaultserverargs, but I am wondering if that is the expected way to do it when you want to specify server arguments

I guess it is not, since that shall be modified once you upgrade the system ?

BTW, if you're finding the enryption overhead of tunneling X11 over ssh is impactful, then you can try adding a -C to your ssh command to enable compression.

Thanks CrtxReavr that is an interesting trivia on ssh history. I know ssh but in LAN environment rlogin and plain DISPLAY forwarding is easier to me

Even if you do not find the question appropiate (I do not see why, but anyway), the question stands in its general form. How in FreeBSD 14 do you specify a default argument when launching Xorg, which file shall be modified?

Should be a setting in Xorg. . . I feel like it used to be turned on by default, at least for local host.

defaultserverargs="-listen tcp"

I modified that line to /usr/local/bin/startx, but modifying a file in /usr/local/bin does not seem right

now it works, but I guess if the package containing that file is updated, my change will be lost

I will try that thanks

Look for an option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Been a while since I had a FreeBSD workstation.

I actually tried before but with X not Xorg and I got a weird long time to launch

I am going to try now

I actually want this to launch X programs from jails in a server located in the same room

If it works, and is just delayed, then I'd look at DNS issues.

that is why rlogin is easier than sshd

Though. . . I would still strongly advise against NOT tunneling X11 over ssh. . . you should always defend in-depth.

well, it is me and my cat here. Not that much to defend

Hey. . . you do you. . . that attitude keeps me in a job, so thanks!

same weird 10 seconds delay, that does not happen when modifying the startx directly

anyway I prefer that , I keep the workstation session opened for days

BTW, to enable your X11 server for use on a workstation, look at the ttyv8 line in /etc/ttys

Typing 'startx' is for losers. If you're going to use X, then use X.

you are expected to put a login manager there

Indeed.

I think Xorg installs xdm by default. . . you can also modify it to use whatever login manager your chosen DE includes.

Looks like xdm is now installed by ports/x11/xdm

exit

my machine is running a load average of 0.00, sitting there toasty warm, occasionally having network cutouts. I've been trying to get it to do some funky ipv6 routing and enabling a couple jails, but turning everything back off doesn't seem to fix things. Does anyone have any suggestions for next debugging steps?

Nothing seems to show up on a serial terminal for either iftop or top
