i got freebsd running on a server and it's way hotter than when i had linux on it. my powerd_flags are -a hiadaptive. is that right or should i change it?

it's a dell r430 fwiw

checked with coretemp and it's all in normal ranges so nvm i guess

phryk: sorry I didn't see your message, hm, I didn't make the port but doesn't gstat_exporter_flags="-l 127.0.0.1" or whatever do something?

phryk: otherwise let me know and I will add a patch to the port rc script because that should of course be possible :)

I have a question about grep, not sure if anyone here will be able to help but I may as well ask. a file which I have been given to grep has special character for bold (^H) how do I get grep to ignore these and match against the word only?

can those appeare inside the substring you are searching for? how about removing them with tr -d?

tykling: thanks, will test later today and tell you whether it worked via query.

polarian: (maybe try #bash or #zsh etc. for that question?)

la_mettrie: I am not using bash though :P

nimaje: not meant to, #linux has helped

I am sufficiently convinced this is the lecturers mistake and not mine

how did you solve it?

I haven't asked

I just realised that one of my modules had been voided... 12 weeks of work has been thrown out and I have failed the module

without reason

I got a feeling its an accusation of cheating, I aced the first coursework (only 100%) but then submitted a half arsed attempt for the second one due to mental health issues, but anyways thats OT.

ah, then I misunderstood your '#linux has helped' as being '[…] and with that help I have solved it'

oh right sorry I missed the messages from p hryk

sorrry

wait I am so confused

oh wait this is likely a panic attack

Hello. I have dumped the hard drive of a physical OpenBSD machine using ddrescue. Now i want to use this image as a bhyve drive so I can create a VM from this disk image. i tried using vm-bhyve but it stucks in the uefi shell. But if i pass it the ahci-hd parameter itwillsimply not boot. Here I attatch the vm-bhyve configuration file and the output log: meth.cat/file/173823161586.txt

whats the difference OPTIONS_RADIO vs OPTIONS_SINGLE?

they look the same

With SINGLE you have to choose one, with radio you have the option of not choosing any. I think.

single does the same too

radio archivers/libarchive, single lang/go-devel

space/space

turns both off

ah i see now, Config is invalid. Re-edit? [Y/n], my bad

BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0): Not Found says now

I'd like to see the discussions that ended with this being classified as an errata and not a security advisory: freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-25:02.audit.asc

I sort of assume a "root can do anything anyway" line of reasoning, but when it comes to auditing that is only partially true..

hi there! i was wondering if somebody could help me to create a fat32 partition on a 1G device? i created a gpt partition table: no problem. i added a partition for fat with: gpart add -t ms-basic-data /dev/da1 ... however: as soon as i try to format that partition i get an error that i need at least 65525 clusters.

gpart show -p da1 givess me "40 2097072 da1p1 ms-basic-data (1.0G)"

unfortunately i dont get the problem here: 1gb should be big enough for a fat32 filesystem, right?

I think newfs_msdosfs needs some options there, to force sectors per cluster to be smaller

Try passing -c <cluster-size> ?

So EDK2 can only boot GPT tables? This is garbage

Anyways, how can i convert a disk image from MBR to GPT?

Ltning: does something being an EN rather than an SA make it harder for you to update machines?

It's more about whether we'd be aware of it. We subscribe to announcements on -security; erratas are more randomly picked up.

I could invent something about if it's not an SA we don't get approval for touching prod, but that would - for the time being - be bs. :)

(but it may apply in the future, and very possibly to others)

you could subscribe to errata-notices⊙fo

Ltning: I think it is worth asking secteam directly about this one

Yeah, some of us do. But not feeding into our ticketing system. But that's a "us"-problem, obviously.

But yeah, I'll ask the secteam after I've looked around a bit to see if I find some guidelines they follow on how to classify.

hello, is there a way to change the BootCurrent from /EFI/freebsd/loader.efi to /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI ?

I updated /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI on each ESP partition, did a zpool upgrade ... but I forgot to update /EFI/freebsd/loader.efi .. is there any way to fix this?

(my system is now unbootable)

hmm, any chance you have a UEFI shell baked into the firmware?

mmh this is a remote Hetzner box .. I just asked for a KVM but didn't have it yet

or is there a non-FreeBSD option if you drop into a firmware boot menu?

oh

that makes it a lot more awkward

:(

oh, wait. it's broken after loader

but I guess you don't have a serial console to interact with loader? loader could chainload bootx64.efi if you can access it

Using portmaster, if I am correctly building openssh-portable with libressl should I expect the output of /usr/local/bin/ssh -V to say something other than OpenSSH_9.9p1, OpenSSL 3.0.15 3 Sep 2024?

kevans: I'm waiting for the KVM ..

kevans: I thought only /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI was used

no, bootx64.efi is the removable media fallback; we try to only use the one in our namespace

grrrmrmmlb

:)

once you get into loader, it's the `chain` command

thanks, I'll check

should just be a matter of `lsdev` to identify the name of the ESP, then `chain diskwhatever:/efi/boot/bootx64.efi` or something to that effect

thanks a lot

No SAR on FreeBSD 14 huh?

whats the best way to do this: sar -n DEV 1 1 | grep eth0 | tail -n 1 | gawk '{print "Down: "$5,"Up: "$6}'

works fine in linux

kevans: I have the EFI shell.. no loader

any idea ..?

psionic: netstat -ibn shows in/out pkts/bytes (assuming, that is what gets printed there)

You mean netstat -I <interface> 1

I see it's printing it in bytes/sec any way it can do mbit/sec ?

with the -ibn what you said it is printing the overall incoming outgoing packets on the interface since it was rebooted with the -I int 1 it goes into interactive and printing the bytes/sec this is still better for me

just need it to be non-interactive so i can do something with the output

psionic: -q1 would stop after one line

mage: EFI shell should be able to directly execute \efi\boot\bootx64.efi with the right incantation

fs0:\efi\boot\bootx64.efi maybe, depending on the fs# of the ESP

psionic: and -w1 would wait a second for your /sec window

kevans: ok it works! I have to fs0: and cp the loader.efi

thanks :)

Thanks perfect, just what I needed

any recommended link to master the EFI shell?

mage: no but let me know if you find one :-D

the extent of my knowledge is that I threw out a wild ass guess of just typing a path and it worked, and I've only had to do that ever since
