What do you need the parentheses for, out of curiosity?

heh

TommyC: smiley faces, of course

(:

zi: hm, simultaneously surprising but also perhaps not given how bad some IPMI/BMC implementations are

no nothing inputs not even 9, when i try shift+9

same with macro, nothing inserts

no copy/paste either

that sounds special

no way to add a damn sudo rule

eh, the dumb thing to do is just copy an existing line and edit it

without deleting the ever important parens

not seeing how i'd copy/paste with what i have to use

vi?

ya how?

yyp

as in yunovim

ivy: it's irritating. ive run into it many times with various implementations :/

kerneldove: you could just enable the ipmi serial console and stop using vnc?

no vnc is the interface they give to the server

i also feel like copy/paste in vi is easier than any other fuckery :P

it says "novnc kvm console"

zi: possibly combined with :r /usr/share/misc/ascii, which includes all the characters...

(if there's no existing one to copy/paste)

there is

/usr/local/etc/sudoers.dist

although if this is visudo there should be

what vi commands will copy and paste?

yeah

grep wheel /usr/local/etc/sudoers.dist >> lol

maybe i can cp into place then edit with visudo

kerneldove: still yyp

dunno what yyp is, a separate program?

yyp is a vi command. yy yanks (copies) the current line, p pastes the yank buffer

kerneldove: vim.rtorr.com

ok got it. i cp sudoers.dist into place then visudo -f $path then delete shit till i have ()

horrible

but atleast it works ffs

woot

kerneldove: what hosting provider is this? so that i can be sure to not use them

rtprio: Yes, it's my login shell

bins that we run and they output text then terminate are like commands. but what's the right term for a bin that you start and then type commands into it and it outputs text, but the bin keeps running. like sqlite3

kerneldove: "interactive command"

for programming languages those are sometimes called "repls", but that's not a term you would use for something like sqlite (it's more for something like python)

ty

yeah, I'd go with REPL (read-eval-print loop)

you'll sometimes see 'interactive prompt'

Hi, i would like to compile kernel module "ath10k", but unfortunately it is 15 yrs that i compiled a kernel last time... I received an error message when starting to compile the dependent module ath10k_common saying that an include file <linux/container_of.h> could not be found. I have no idea, how the sources came there and what to do to certify

that they have the correct version. Can someone help me out please?

is there a corresponding sysctl for backlight(8)? I find it starts at 2/3 but I'd prefer just to begin at 100% and not have to manually increase it

duncan: if you "sudo sysctl -a | grep backlight", that might help. I see a couple of options there. hope this helps

sorry, that's not helpful, i already did look at all of them

idk then, sorry

There is an option, hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness. I have had this set to 100 but it seems unconnected to what backlight(8) works on

What do you nice people do when you reach the situation where absolutely nothing works the way it's supposed to? Like literally every step I take produces some sort of error the internet has never seen before. It's every machine I own and every task I try to complete on them. Been going on for like a year now. I don't think it's my mentality but I'm willing to accept it if it is. I RTFM, I troubleshoot calmly and walk away when I get

overwhelmed. I just know I used to never have this constant overwhelming failure of everything always. Todays example is trying to setup audio on FreeBSD but it could really be anything.

When that happens to me, I eagerly eye the box of firewood I left upstairs, wondering if now is the time to take it down, ready my computers and fire up a big campfire where I will throw all my computers.

Llampec: strongly considering that :)

does freebsd have something similar to radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 radeon.dpm=0 that i have to use in linux to get the gpu to work properly?

Macer: the driver stack is in the drm-kmot ports/packages

newer radeon cards use amdgpu.ko

and you load the module in /boot/loader.conf | kld_list="amdgpu"

sig`: ah ok. i was trying to get ghostbsd functional but the installer would just reboot over and over

i figured i'd have to add some sort of kernel flag like i do with linux to get it to stop doing that.

seems like amdgpu is getting used for this. it's an ancient A10-5800K

00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7660D]

if it's older it might be using the radeonkms.ko

it is definitely older. maybe 2011

you'll need 'drm-legacy-kmod' for that card

and 'kld_list+="radeonkms"

in /etc/rc.conf

how do I get an IPv6 address on a live system? I ran 'dhclient hn0' to get the IPv4 address but 'rtsol hn0'

just says hn0 is disabled

nm, 'rtsol -F hn0' did it
