02:40:53 hernan604 I'm checking your leaseweb.com suggestion. I like what I'm seeing. They even have VPS with FreeBSD. Cool. 02:41:26 hernan604: Do you have services with them? If so, how has been the service? 03:15:00 Yaazkal: no i dont 03:15:09 but i think its good 03:15:14 considering moving there 03:15:19 ok 03:15:39 just requested an small VPS, prices are insane, let's see performance 03:16:15 thanks for the information 03:20:14 Yaazkal: there is also https://www.tailormadeservers.com/ 03:20:20 i think its texas 03:20:27 but they are nice 03:20:44 but leaseweb is bigger 03:20:53 and i think better 03:23:41 I see 08:53:11 https://events.bsdnl.nl/early25/talk/WDHDZY/ starts in 10 minutes 15:03:53 I was just trying to `pkg ugrade` and it seems that audacity and evince have vanished from the repos. What's going on? Unresolved package fallout? 15:14:25 yeah, some bigger fallout, probably because of a bug in -CURRENT https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2025-April/007557.html 15:31:43 Btw. I had a bug in my sciteco port, which should consistently cause fallout due to some Poudriere peculiarities. I immediately submitted a patch, but it's still not merged. Anyway, I was surprised to see that binary packages actually still ended up in the repo. No idea how that happened. 16:04:30 ivy: were they streaming it live ? 16:06:42 mzar: yes 16:12:35 the stream was a bit ropey but the talk was interesting, worth a watch if they put up a recorded version 16:17:23 Posterdati: regarding your question regarding xfce: i have no idea. I use FreeBSD only via ssh without a window manager or desktop environment 17:47:25 guys i'm using cbsd and i have a vm set up.. trying to install windows via cbsd everything looks good but when i boot it goes to a uefi shell.. what does that even mean ? 17:49:02 sorry what is cbsd? 17:49:43 https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/cbsd/ 18:15:42 oxbar are you able to boot Windows? make sure you've set the ISO. 18:27:18 thanks tykling 18:39:49 I've updated freebsd to 14.2 on lenovo x230 and now my video is broken. Any idea how to fix that ? 18:40:53 so it seems i915kms is the problem 18:43:33 meandrain: rebuild or install i915kms for 14.2 -> https://blendit.bsd.cafe/post/821622 18:43:59 mzar: thank you ! 18:44:21 kmods_quarterly_2 or kmods_latest_2 18:52:41 Do I need i915kms in order for x.org and a window manager to work ? 18:57:27 sure, you need it, otherwise it will be falling into vesa IIRC 19:09:27 well, I kind of "fix" the problem by using drm-515-kmod package instead of drm-61-kmod 19:24:34 antranigv: nope straight to uefi shell.. iso is mounted.. doesn’t mean it’s trying to read the hdd ? 20:09:33 oxbar maybe boot order is not correct? I usually use bhyve directly or vm-bhyve, not sure about cbsd. if you keep getting UEFI shell then ISO is not being booted. 20:10:42 meandrain: The other option I've used in the past is https://wiki.freebsd.org/GraphicsOld/SCFB but to get the most out of your graphics card you probably want drm-kmod, unless you're happy with the trade offs. 20:11:52 now I am curious guys what window managers you use in 2025 ? 20:12:11 I use i3 20:12:14 I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGXdqZv71CA but I am not sure I want to use a tiling window manager 20:13:03 maybe I'll try just out of curiosity. I am kind of lazy learning shortcuts 20:13:26 Some require more configuration than others, i3 doesn't require much 20:48:28 I am following this guide: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/desktop/ to install gnome but there's no "gnome" or "gnome-lite" package 22:29:18 I'm a bit stumped with my server. FreeBSD 14.2, root on ZFS. The ZFS pool is fine, I booted a rescue system and was able to mount it. But the system doesn't fully boot - it initializes the devices, changes the network link states to up, gets to "Security policy loaded: MAC/ntpd (mac_ntpd)"... and then just stops. No login prompt, and no ssh access 22:29:19 either. 22:37:15 also, sorry for the rejoins. My connection is quite bad at the moment. 22:38:56 I have no idea what I am even looking for or what my problem is called, so any pointer is appreciated 22:52:04 Also, I suppose ssh does get initialized, because connection attempts don't time out, they get refused immediately 23:06:59 zilti: Make sure it's not flipping over to a serial console or somesuch. 23:07:48 And probably double check that it's getting the IP you want, and that there's no address contention... and that sshd is set to run. 23:16:39 mason: sshd is definitely set to run. I guess it also gets a proper network connection since it does rewrite the resov.conf. I do get the IP from my hoster's web interface, where it shows what IP has been given, so I guess I can rule that one out, too 23:25:49 zilti: Address conflict - if sshd is listening on the address it should be, is something else beating it to the punch? Can you ping? (Doesn't rule out address conflict, but it's a sort of sanity check.) 23:26:06 zilti: Another thought, tell it to start a pcap on boot and see if packets are getting to it. 23:35:00 mason: pinging works. I did turn off all services via the rescue system (I'm able to boot it with mfsBSD and mount the zpool there). That ended up working. So now I turn them on again one-by-one to see which one causes it. 23:35:26 zilti: You get a usable console now? 23:36:17 mason: yes, to my surprise I get both a login promot on the actual machine and ssh works too. :) Thanks for the help! Out of interest, how would I enable that pcap? 23:37:01 zilti: A cheap and easy way would be to run it out of /etc/rc.local 23:37:04 tcpdump 23:37:11 or I guess maybe tshark 23:37:12 Ah, tcpdump, ok 23:37:37 But it sounds like you don't strictly need it now. 23:38:15 Looks like my pf.conf config is at fault... which is weird, because I used that exact config before and it worked. And starting it while the system is running also works. Weird... I'm gonna re-do that config, there's not much in it anyways. 23:38:44 I had no idea a misconfigured PF could prevent the machine to boot all the way to the login tty 23:39:44 That's strange. At a guess it's bound up some process that held up the rest of boot. 23:43:24 I'm looking at examples, but getting no luck yet at changing an Nginx request for /images/foo.jpg so it instead delivers /images-alt/foo.jpg -> I'm trying location /images/foo.org { alias /images-alt/foo.jpg; } and still getting the old image. I can view /images-alt/foo.jpg using my browser.. so I know it's there. 23:45:41 is /images/foo.org just a typo here or in your config too? 23:56:30 checking... 23:56:37 I would like to have this in FreeBSD packages: https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity 23:58:22 nimaje: it was in the config too. fixed it. DIdn't fix the image goal though.
