00:00:24 What do you need the parentheses for, out of curiosity? 00:00:31 heh 00:00:47 TommyC: smiley faces, of course 00:00:48 (: 00:00:51 zi: hm, simultaneously surprising but also perhaps not given how bad some IPMI/BMC implementations are 00:01:12 no nothing inputs not even 9, when i try shift+9 00:01:19 same with macro, nothing inserts 00:01:23 no copy/paste either 00:01:32 that sounds special 00:01:45 no way to add a damn sudo rule 00:02:00 eh, the dumb thing to do is just copy an existing line and edit it 00:02:09 without deleting the ever important parens 00:02:28 not seeing how i'd copy/paste with what i have to use 00:02:53 vi? 00:03:04 ya how? 00:03:05 yyp 00:03:12 as in yunovim 00:04:23 ivy: it's irritating. ive run into it many times with various implementations :/ 00:04:27 kerneldove: you could just enable the ipmi serial console and stop using vnc? 00:04:43 no vnc is the interface they give to the server 00:04:56 i also feel like copy/paste in vi is easier than any other fuckery :P 00:05:00 it says "novnc kvm console" 00:06:05 zi: possibly combined with :r /usr/share/misc/ascii, which includes all the characters... 00:06:10 (if there's no existing one to copy/paste) 00:06:21 there is 00:06:22 /usr/local/etc/sudoers.dist 00:06:24 although if this is visudo there should be 00:06:25 what vi commands will copy and paste? 00:06:26 yeah 00:06:39 grep wheel /usr/local/etc/sudoers.dist >> lol 00:06:41 maybe i can cp into place then edit with visudo 00:06:43 kerneldove: still yyp 00:06:53 dunno what yyp is, a separate program? 00:07:10 yyp is a vi command. yy yanks (copies) the current line, p pastes the yank buffer 00:07:10 kerneldove: https://vim.rtorr.com/ 00:12:23 ok got it. i cp sudoers.dist into place then visudo -f $path then delete shit till i have () 00:12:27 horrible 00:12:33 but atleast it works ffs 00:12:39 woot 01:28:56 kerneldove: what hosting provider is this? so that i can be sure to not use them 07:23:45 rtprio: Yes, it's my login shell 11:45:59 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 12:00:26 kerneldove: "interactive command" 12:00:48 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) 12:02:53 ty 12:41:48 yeah, I'd go with REPL (read-eval-print loop) 12:42:04 you'll sometimes see 'interactive prompt' 13:16:50 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 could not be found. I have no idea, how the sources came there and what to do to certify 13:16:50 that they have the correct version. Can someone help me out please? 16:20:44 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 16:49:34 duncan: if you "sudo sysctl -a | grep backlight", that might help. I see a couple of options there. hope this helps 16:51:39 sorry, that's not helpful, i already did look at all of them 16:51:52 idk then, sorry 16:55:31 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 17:24:15 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 17:24:15 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. 17:32:06 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. 17:45:23 Llampec: strongly considering that :) 18:06:37 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? 18:10:30 Macer: the driver stack is in the drm-kmot ports/packages 18:10:58 newer radeon cards use amdgpu.ko 18:11:21 and you load the module in /boot/loader.conf | kld_list="amdgpu" 18:11:41 sig`: ah ok. i was trying to get ghostbsd functional but the installer would just reboot over and over 18:11:53 i figured i'd have to add some sort of kernel flag like i do with linux to get it to stop doing that. 18:12:44 seems like amdgpu is getting used for this. it's an ancient A10-5800K 18:13:09 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7660D] 18:13:29 if it's older it might be using the radeonkms.ko 18:14:19 it is definitely older. maybe 2011 18:15:03 you'll need 'drm-legacy-kmod' for that card 18:15:22 and 'kld_list+="radeonkms" 18:15:50 in /etc/rc.conf 18:16:31 https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/index.html 19:25:39 how do I get an IPv6 address on a live system? I ran 'dhclient hn0' to get the IPv4 address but 'rtsol hn0' 19:25:46 just says hn0 is disabled 19:27:49 nm, 'rtsol -F hn0' did it
