In the latest binary pkg for 14.2-RELEASE quarterly the postfix package seems odd. I get different spurious messages from different systems.

On one system: chown: /usr/local/share/man/man5/mongodb_table.5.gz: No such file or directory

On a different system: chown: /usr/local/man/man1/mailq.1.gz: No such file or directory

Seems like something is wonky there and I feel that if I go through all of my systems that all will have a different file failing chown as if the pkg script is incorrect there.

A 3rd system is chown: /usr/local/share/man/man5/mongodb_table.5.gz: No such file or directory

ifreund: good to see you help with the pkgbase project :)

is anything broken in -current right now, or is it safe to update?

that one thing is

Friends in Europe. are your package mirrors slow right now? pkg0.fra is very slow for me right now (altho I am far away physically, but its downloading at 5% of the previous speeds)

antranigv: no, it works fine, 500±100 Mbps

antranigv: i get something like 7.0 MB/s

mzar la_mettrie thank you! I'm getting around 1Mbps. I usually get around 10 MB/s if not more.

yeah, it's a problem with my network provider. anything leaving their network is just slow.

it works better over ipv6, but I chcecked also ipv4 and the speed seems to be not much affacted at the moment

so for ipv4 also 200Mbps+

hi

please I updated to 14.2 but bootloader shows message that loader needs to be updated, I tried to update it using the explanation in man loader.conf but the message showed up again. Thanks!

Posterdati UEFI or MBR?

solved

was uefi

thanks anyway

anybody here doing claws-email with office365/ms-exchange accounts?

jbo: What's your real question anyways? Maybe it doesn't have to be specific to claws-email.

s/it/the answer/

I was downloading the whonix workstation xfce.qcow2 and did convert to .raw but in bhyve does not boot up. any clue?

need to change some permission? i have the same permission chmod 755 for my archlinux.raw and booting with no issue...so i am pretty sure is the image has got some issue...

or need to do something equivalent like virsh define (-c) in the bhyve but in the whonix website no bhyve guide so i have to follow the qemu one. i did setup succesfully on archlinux kvm but on bhyve i cant use the .xml file.

hm, just saw that the efi partition was mounted on my systems (and rw no less), so I guess the installer put it in fstab, but why? the only reason I know to mount it is to update the loader, which is rare and only takes a little bit of time, why should it be always mounted?

When will Linux finally have native RW access to BSD file systems in it's kernel without needing to compile it in and saying that its "experimental"

psionic: it already has

psionic: Good point. We are waiting for native ZFS support for a solid decade now. The short answer is - probably never, because of the licensing incompatibility between GPL and BSD.

psionic: On paper it does support ZFS out of the box. In practise it is a pain in the butt. For example I use Arch with root on ZFS but so many pitfalls you can shoot yourself in the foot. And because kernel in the repo is always one step ahead of the corresponding ZFS module, you almost never get a binary compatible ZFS for the last kernel.

So you always compile with DKMS for example, or use the archive site to sync the kernel back

FreeBSD is wonderful, ZFS is built-in and everything just works without you even thinking about it.

well, ZFS is a solaris FS and CDDL, bsd FSs would be UFS/FFS and HAMMER, not sure if there are more that could be called bsd FSs

nimaje: good point, I did not think about that.

I have just tried the UFS module. I was able to mount a UFS partition created by FreeBSD in read-only mode (it said, the module was compiled with R/O support).

No tools to create a partition in Linux I was able to find

sa02irc: use FreeBSD, it's fully operational

sa02irc: you can always fire up a freebsd vm on virtualbox, then create a vmdk virtual disk for the partition, attach it to the freebsd vm and obv mount it

a bit more involved but it'd give you the integrity safety you're ultimately going to be looking for

FreeBSD can mount ext4 in RW mode, so there's nothing to worry about

why not bhyve for this Linux VM ?

gt: Hmmm... experts only....i have 22 VMs in qemuKVM in archlinux....so far i was migrating one succesfully. only 21 VMs are left. 🤣 I think when i finish all i will be expert. 😁

all the 22 VMs in bhyve. but whonix images are "special", they are "sensitive" for copying. only cp or mv allowed regarding official whonix website....🤔

is using smartd pretty common for proactive monitoring of disks in zfs setups? i basically want syslog messages to appear on any failures OR prefailure warnings, testing every 15 or 30 min. no emails as i don't have a mta set up and don't wanna bother with that yet

tyler82: I was addressing sa02irc problem

gt: Ahh, i see

I just read your problem though

tyler82: no error log from bhyve?

no. booting up... Thats all. Also vnc viewer connects but blank screen only.

if i vm start arch then booting up for real. no issue. vnc viewer also works

only whonix has got blank screen

so you mean bhyve does in fact fire it up, but internally the vm goes into some undesired state?

gt: yes. there is two possibly issue. 1. the .raw image itself. probably permission issue. i was qemu-img convert it from qcow2 to raw on my source laptop. then i was copy the file to the freebsd machine.

2. the other issue might be the conf file. i was using the arch templates however there is debian as well ...but not much difference. the bootloader is uefi for both. thats the most important

if it allows vncviewer to connect you should just ssh into it and look around

vncviewer/xserver/dmesg/journalctl logs

ok. tomorrow i do i wil falling asleep now. 🥱
