zip: If the system is sitting at (a verifiable) 0.00 load consistently, I would be slightly concerned as usually even larger systems at idle should jump to a 0.01 or something at some point just to show some kind of load.

However, maybe it's got so many fast cores that it doesn't. Hard to say without knowing additional information.

My first guess, though, if it's at 0.00 is that it may be some kind of hardware setting (firmware, BIOS, storage, etc...) that would be causing the system to ramp up outside of the OS itself.

zip: Dust?

it might have been at 0.01, but basically none

I'll open it up and have a look but it was fine before =/

zip: Does it not do this running Linux?

I guess that's the next thing to try

Now I think about it, it was running suspiciously quiet

man, this thing does _not_ want to hang on to an ipv6 address

I suppose the solution is to take wifi out of the loop, move the computer and give it a real internet connection

yes, go for it

hey I wanted to ask whether freebsd has the same stupidity like linux

like if I install a package like virt-manager

will the package work or do I need to write commands in the console to make it work

ohhhhhh by setting ipv6 forwarding to enabled I can't SLAAC the interface, that makes total sense

I suppose I have two paths forward: I can continue this plan of doing this by full routing, or I could run a GRE tunnel to the router and have it dish out addresses and do no routing on the hardware itself

zip can you try what i said

?

I too come to this channel as a noob

hm, my jails still aren't picking up my fd80::/64 addresses I was trying to set up with rtadvd

computers aaaaa

IPv6 DNS AAAA!

hi, so I am on my 20th attempt to install freebsd 14.2-stable on my Thinkpad P53 with variying results. I have this problem I cant seem to solve, the trackpad and trackpoint from elantech. the pad don't work but the pointer does. I have no X yet on this install. TrackPoint is kern.evdev.6 and pad is kern.evdev.5, both are the same psm0 and bustype, can this psm0 be the probelm?

dmesg reports ms0 as <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 [GIANT-LOCKED ]Elantech Touchpad, device ID 0 twice and no trackpoint at all.

turning the trackpoint off in bios removes it as excpected but does nothing to help the touchpad

dlms, step one. . . stop re-installing.

The trackpad will likely take some special effort.

Why don't you start with a pastebin of your 'pciconf -lv' output?

I am currently testing it on linux. It wourks out of the box in gentoo and openbsd but not in freebsd. I will get back with updates :)

I think you'd be happier with the gentoo crowd.

Via con Dios.

AFAIK Gentoo has nice community too

how come netstat -an46 shows less active internet connections than netstat -an from net-tools on linux?

*than netstat -an on freebsd and netstat -an from net-tools on linux

They're different commands on different platforms.

linux's shows a lot of strange, un-related info my my opinion.

linux's netstat seems to combine the functionality of FreeBSD's netstat & sockstat.

point was netstat -an on freebsd shows more than netstat -an46 on freebsd

in active connection section. Im not refering to socket section

I would think specifying both 4 & 6 prolly causes some confusion, and leaving both out shows both v4 & v6 info.

From the manpage:

-4 Show IPv4 only. See GENERAL OPTIONS.

-6 Show IPv6 only. See GENERAL OPTIONS.

Play with it and figure it out. . . this is enough navel gazing for me.

CrtxReavr: Yes, but all the missing connections are udp6 or tcp6. nothing outside of the inet or inet6 families

UDP connections are not a thing.

netstat -46 still shows udp. I see the problem, netstat doesn't allow specifying both 4 and 6. -46 just shows ipv6 because it was the last one

UDP connections are not a thing?

the protocol itself only provides a connectionless service. You can nail a socket to only talk to a specific remote, but that's a slightly different concept

why do people say things like this?

Things like technical truths?

UDP? it is used all the time

UDP is used in DNS

you wouldn't game without UDP

Yes. . . and UDP is well-suited to DNS lookups.

no VoIP without UDP

But the fact remains, UDP is a connectionless protocol.

what does "UDP ocnnections are not a thing" even suppose to mean?

not always

User DATAGRAM Protocol. . . meaning each pack has to be a complete message.

er - each packet

datagrams

If you're using UDP to send streams of data larger than a packet, then you have to take-up space in said packets with higher level session info.

But the UDP protocol itself has no concept of a connection.

it is used for speed, hence gaming

voip

etc.

Right. . . but there's no gurantee of packet arrival or ordering.

Howdy!
