i ran through bsdinstall and it put aesni_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf but it's not listed when i run kldstat why not?

demido, If it is built into the kernel then it is not needed as a module.

ahh rwp there any way to check at runtime if OS has aesni? kldstat obviously isn't a solution since it could be bilt into kernel

demido you would see it in dmesg, so `dmesg | grep aesni` would show what as detected

I'm on my 3rd attempt at trying to use the ports tree in any capacity at all, and I keep getting the same exact error. I've tried the installer-provided ports tree and tried the git method of obtaining an up-to-date tree. "Brotli" keeps having an error "fetch: ... size mismatch: expected 1022. actual 1024." It does this on the very first package I

try to install, no matter which one it is. Only the smallest things like nano are able to install successfully, and even then it took multiple tries and I'm not sure what I did right...

I also notice a bit of an oddity in the error text: "port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles// and try again"... it has two forward slashes... looks weird to me

jtdowney ok so i saw the installer adds aesni_load and cryptodev_load into /boot/loader.conf like i said, and i just checked dmesg and you're right aesni is in there. kldstat shows cryptodev. all god. but then on another identical box, i DON'T put aesni/cryptodev lines in /boot/loader.conf and it has aesni in dmesg, and cryptodev in kldstat. so it

seems they're loaded automatically if supported. hence, why does bsdinstall bother putting them in files explicitly?

Is there perhaps a recommended order to build ports? Or some other trick I'm missing to reduce build errors?

On new installations, I mean

Hi, I recently updated my FreeBSD VM to 14.2 and now that portsnap doesn't work anymore I installed gitup, but my first run of it gave me this: pastie.org/p/6x8EOf9EAUbk7XINWqTcQg

Do I need to do more prep work before running gitup ports?

Feigr: is there any real reason you didn't install git instead and just done git clone git.freebsd.org/ports.git /usr/ports ? network seems there for both gitup and repo fetch, maybe disk space, memory or cpu that would justice extra effort?

or maybe network is byte capped

maybe it was simpler too

ketas: short answer is I want my pkg info output to be a short as possible

only that? :p

I have 10GB free on the VM, which I assume would be enough

git indeed did pull (what a pun) lot of deps in

it does indeed

but when did gitup ever work...

trying to keep it minimalist on a VM that is just used for irc and maybe some Inform7 programming

I started reading up after updating on what people use instead of portsnap and gitup was recommended as a minimal alternative

unsure about that error

i mean it should work

this is ports from installer, isn't it?

or no maybe

that's what pointed me to gitup

even that mentions errors eg

eh

maybe gitup needs fix

another thread mentioned in passing that gitup is a memory hog, and seeing as this VM currently only has ~100MB free

might be that

for christmas I got a thiknpad t480, which I intended to use to experiment and test things I wouldn't on my main computer

like testing operating systems

so I decided to install freebsd on it, which I at first used only in the console

fast-forward to now where I got x11 to work, audio to work correctly with my headphones, installed i3 and actually made an effort to make it look decent unlike my main computer

and now I feel too invested in it to actually replace it and try another os on it (I intended to tinker with nixos), oops

becrel: you could run nixos in a bhyve, where linux belongs...

becrel: sounds like a success story to me though. the x-mas until now journey.

it's definitely been quite fun :D

I liked building things from the ground up and I like the way freebsd is organised

well not "building" as in using make, building as in installing and setting up every piece I need after starting with only the base os

I don't know what a bhyve is so I'll start reading on that, thanks

since I found bhyve in the handbook, I'll add the docs to the list of things I like about freebsd

I tried running gitup again while looking at top, and it does indeed chew up all available memory and then fails, so it looks like I need more RAM on this VM

although there is maybe one thing that could be more convenient on the doc

since it's distributed in html and pdf format, you need to install a reader before you can read the docs

still the same error in gitup with 1024MB on the VM rather than 512

I upgrade my system to 14.2, I upgrade zpool and I run "sysctl vfs.zfs.bclone_enabled=1". But when I cp a file I see the user quota grows. Any idea why the block cloning doesn't work?

hey there! now that Sendmail has been deprecated in favor of DMA in FreeBSD, is it safe to remove all sendmail_* lines in /etc/rc.conf?

veg: Yes

thanks for the confirmation, vkarlsen

holy hanna, almost an hour to build ports-mgmt/pkg to get version 2.0.5, I hate this craptop
