00:15:39 I don't want to get sucked into the "compile everything" mentality that I got when I used gentoo 00:24:39 JetpackJackson: the joys of freebsd is you can selectively compile what you need 00:24:47 I compile security vulns as they can be slow to update 00:25:35 I guess 00:25:58 I just hate rust compile times 00:30:34 How much space do I need for a poudriere build jail if I decide to go that route? Rather than just doing 'make config' in a ports tree 00:34:25 JetpackJackson: for one port its not really word setting up poudriere, but for the most part the space requirement is low 00:34:34 afaik it spawns the jails on demand 00:34:54 Alright 00:35:28 Im planning on doing the build in a VM and my laptop has a bunch of really chonky school projects on it 00:36:14 I should try using bhyve to virtialize the os we used in my os class 00:38:40 does anyone have an idea how I can setup the webcam? 00:41:21 sixpiece: is it recognized? 00:41:49 yes it is recognized 00:41:58 it came build in with my laptop as well 00:42:46 I mean it's recognized in the sense that it knows what it is but it appears their might not be a driver for it or whatever recognized via shell not by like going into firefox and then zoom.us and starting a meeting 00:43:43 check dmesg 00:43:55 look for the device 00:44:09 also there is a command to check but I forgot it 00:44:17 I think its under the wifi or audio section of the handbook 00:44:45 it lists the devices + its driver 00:44:47 iirc 00:46:58 JetpackJackson: nothing wrong with compiling all the things portmaster does a good job doing that 00:47:13 JetpackJackson: just dont be a weirdo and watch it compile heh 00:47:14 poudriere is good for port dev tho 00:47:18 or if you compile a lot of ports 00:47:24 cpet: I watch things compile 00:47:31 I watched buildworld 00:47:32 weirdo 00:47:36 for most of the 6 hours 00:47:47 i have a scrip that just says Compilg X - Done 00:47:55 boring 00:48:01 dont you like looking like a hacker >:) 00:48:09 thats not how you look like a hacker 00:48:23 lol 00:48:34 nah I was kidding 00:48:38 I just like how it looks 00:48:40 bullshit you were 00:48:48 -_- 00:48:52 some people like to do it i dont 00:48:58 tmux new compile args 00:49:01 go one with day 00:49:06 wait for an email saying your sht broke 00:49:17 when I follow the instructions webcam -l does not show up in the list 00:49:18 the more text on my terminal, the more enjoyment I get :P 00:49:32 sixpiece: likely upsupported 00:49:33 sixpiece: did you run webcamd 00:49:43 if you can extract the device info from dmesg it could be useful :) 00:49:50 I would check dmesg lists it first 00:49:52 thats step 1 00:49:55 jesus he watches dmesg as well 00:50:02 cpet: dmesg is useful ffs 00:50:06 hah 00:50:12 everything you need is usually in dmesg 00:50:19 my msg buf is full of log in vain shit 00:50:26 cpet yes I tried to run webcamd it doesn't work 00:50:32 maybe restarting will help?

01:10:50 so you would have to do some magic to forward to a different port 01:11:11 i personally wouldnt bother but i guess in regards to learning 01:11:17 Or is there like some local mail program that reads some sort of email file 01:11:31 Nah I don't need to host my own email lol 01:11:35 It's too much 01:11:55 you can use fetchmail if its still around or getmail 01:12:17 or you can setup sendmail or opensmtpd to proxy to your ISP's email server 01:12:53 I think I used smtp something or other 01:13:01 i cant use any of those with proton mail 01:13:12 Have you tried hydroxide?

If you put the dataset's name in fstab are you getting errors because the pool seems not to exist? 05:19:20 because the boot crash and goto shell, because cant find zroot/usr 05:19:42 figure out why it crashed 05:19:46 have you already added zfs_enable="YES" to rc.conf? 05:19:57 yes 05:20:35 in the single user shell do you see the pool when you run `zpool list`? 05:21:00 my understanding of zfs is that mountpoint=none cannot be mounted, mountpoint=legacy can be mounted using mount -t zfs 05:21:22 yeap 05:21:48 however if the pool is in a inconsistent state it wount mount either 05:22:45 how using 'mount -t zfs' before fstab? 05:23:25 you don't; fstab uses the same mechanism as mount -t zfs 05:23:28 in theory single user mode only mounts / 05:23:39 so if you dont mount / the system wont even boot 05:23:44 so your before ftab makes no sense 05:24:34 how run ANY command before fstab? 05:24:56 ... that's advanced administrator stuff, you shouldn't need to do that under normal circumstances 05:25:07 does it show mountpoint=none or mountpoint=legacy when you do `zfs get mountpoint zroot/usr` 05:25:14 if it is mountpoint=none then the dataset cannot be mounted 05:25:23 Chip1972: single-user mode 05:26:12 ek: its ok man 05:26:13 I mounted with boot iso 05:26:49 ek, Chip is unable to successfully start a system because /usr from a ZFS pool is not mountable 05:27:14 should still be able to single user boot 05:27:41 now if he messed up his pool well its a simple format and reinstall youre .. 05:28:36 how run ANY command before fstab? like 'zpool import zroot'... 05:28:41 dewd 05:28:45 3 people have told you 05:28:54 stop repating the same thing over and over 05:29:16 you don't. 05:29:26 Trying to catch up here. But, why is single-user mode not acceptable? Commands for mount should work given the correct commands are provided. 05:29:35 it is acceptable 05:29:42 i think Chip1972 is a bot really heh 05:30:02 ek, single user mode should be acceptable, in order to complete troubleshooting tasks 05:30:07 well I can always follow MelMalik advice 05:30:29 how run "echo hello world" command before fstab? 05:30:50 one does not do that. 05:31:00 do what ? 05:31:11 can you describe what did before you encountered the problem 05:31:20 correction: can you describe what you did before you encountered the problem 05:31:27 MelMalik: some people are just a lost cause really 05:31:53 did the system once boot successfully, and now doesn't, and what did you change in between those two states? 05:32:42 ek: :( 05:33:31 I copied /usr to zroot/usr mounted in mnt/usr with compression=zstd 05:34:05 what does one do to crash the system to the point of it failing 05:34:09 sounds like HW to me 05:36:04 the system boot without "zroot/usr /usr zfs rw 0 0" in fstab 05:39:38 /etc/rc.conf run before fstab? 05:40:45 right, so you added that line to fstab 05:41:31 /etc/rc.conf is read before fstab, otherwise `zfs_enable="YES"` wouldn't do anything useful 05:41:53 Why do you have any zroot mounting happening in fstab? Are you using an actual zroot setup? You shouldn't need anything in fstab for zroot mounts. 05:42:07 ek, This isn't zroot, it's /usr on ZFS with / on UFS. 05:42:21 Treat the word «zroot» here as an opaque string. 05:42:35 ek: some people are just a lost cause man 05:43:20 how to add 'zpool import zroot' to /etc/rc.conf? 05:43:25 you DON'T. 05:43:35 that's not how this is done 05:43:50 Chip1972: Well, I'm still very confused, but you could add that command to /etc/rc.local? 05:44:02 ek, would be too late for /etc/fstab, as /etc/rc.local is run after mounts 05:44:17 I mean, there has to be a better answer to all of this (again, a lot to scroll through here). 05:44:49 What is /usr (as mounted by ZFS afterwards) doing that would require pre-rc.conf? 05:45:04 Is this a full /usr directory that isn't being mounted? 05:45:11 Or is this a /usr/home thing? 05:45:32 ek, Correct. This is the full /usr directory that isn't being mounted because the pool isn't imported when rc runs mount -a 05:45:42 full /usr directory 05:46:35 Chip came in with an XY problem. I did not want to front load that because not only would they not understand, if they did understand they'd be quite rightly insulted. When I come across an X-Y problem I go straight to trying to backtrack and figure out what the X is, without initially mentioning that I think it's X-Y. 05:47:16 Okay. So, this is not a root on ZFS system? Just ZFS being used outside of UFS for /usr only? 05:47:45 The X is «I'm trying to move my /usr directory to a ZFS pool (root remains on UFS however) but the system is failing to boot because the zfs pool isn't imported by the time /etc/fstab is processed.» 05:48:55 how 'zpool import zroot' before rc runs mount -a 05:49:03 So, I'm not quite sure this is a possible scenario as UFS will be used for booting which would require /usr (base libs and such) to be available before the ZFS FS is available. 05:49:43 Chip1972: Not possible. You'll need to either leave /usr on UFS for the system to properly boot, or migrate to a root-on-ZFS system. 05:50:21 i like ek's "not possible" 05:50:22 However, you *CAN* move certain things from /usr to a ZFS mountpount/dataset as long as it isn't required by base to boot. 05:51:15 For example, if you're just trying to place /usr/somedir into a ZFS ENV, that would be fine. Or /usr/home. But, /usr/lib, /usr/libexec, /usr/local/anything-at-all will need to remain available on UFS for boot. 05:51:17 i worked with /usr/local 05:53:09 so I lost two weeks for nothing 05:53:41 Chip1972: As a FBSD standard, most *local* is not considered "base". So, /usr/local will likely be fine to be mounted after boot. However, /usr itself (/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc...) will be require to boot. 05:54:21 Chip1972: Unfortunately, it sounds that way. Sorry. :( 05:57:44 its possibke to link /usr to /zroot/usr? 05:58:24 no 06:06:03 Chip1972: /usr cannot be excluded from the boot filesystem. It simply will not work with FBSD. 06:06:34 If your boot FS is UFS, /usr must remain as part of the / boot UFS FS. It cannot be separated. 06:07:12 However, /usr/chip1972 *CAN* be divided from /uar as a separate FS via ZFS. 06:07:30 But, /usr as a whole cannot. 06:10:12 if zroot is imported normally, so /zroot/usr is available for boot 06:12:10 If you're using root on ZFS, yes. 06:12:19 I was told you are not? 06:13:22 I will try here 06:13:57 But, /usr isn't a separate mount by default with root on ZFS. /usr is part of / which is mounted by zroot/ROOT/default 06:14:49 While I applaud your effort to get this to work, I don't think it'll be possible given your current setup. 06:15:02 I wish you the best of luck, though! 06:16:18 my understanding is that the zfs tools don't require anything from /usr. to make what chip is happening happen I would hypothetically want to start modifying /etc/rc itself. I've not touched that part of the boot process in a long time though 06:16:27 er, to make what chip wants to make happen happen 06:16:31 ek: ? 06:17:57 Well, if the base system doesn't exist during boot (Ex: /usr) it simply isn't going to be bootable. And, there is no way to have ZFS kick in and mount a pool before the base system is booted. 06:18:38 That's just my logic, though. Perhaps there is a magic workaround somewhere under the rainbow out there. 06:18:51 If there is, I certainly can't fathom it. 06:19:20 no magic required. if the zfs tools require something from /usr, they won't work, and this whole endeavor is doomed to fail; if they don't, they will work. 06:20:30 some silliness with `ldd` suggests that at least /sbin/zpool and /sbin/zfs do not require anything from /usr, if the only problem is libraries 06:20:31 you can mount modules in the loader 06:21:21 MelMalik: Yes. That is understandable. But, there is no way to ZFS import/mount before the OS is loaded. The OS itself requires /usr. 06:21:22 however, the ZFS fault management daemon is in /usr/sbin 06:21:48 So, /usr will not be available to boot the OS successfully in order to use /sbin tools. 06:22:05 most tools are avail in rescue 06:23:05 This is a chicken/egg problem. In this case, the egg is coming before the chicken. I cannot think of a way to boot FBSD without /usr in the available boot FS. 06:25:19 im not following this whole freebsd cant boot without /usr 06:26:20 Academic question: has anyone here - don't answer this one, ek - ever run separate /usr, both / and /usr on UFS? 06:26:52 yeap 06:27:02 back when zfs wasnt so cool 06:27:04 My understanding is that in olden times, enough was on /-except-/usr to mount /usr, if it was on a different volume. That may not be true with FreeBSD today, but as I said, academic question, not of practical import here. 06:27:16 i always liked having seprate slices for things 06:36:13 o\ 06:36:37 still uses zsf? 06:36:43 ilooked into writing my own uh 06:36:55 brain work no bad today 06:37:02 zsf - the fs part 06:37:11 minus the z part** 06:37:13 you mean zfs ? 06:37:41 wow... zroot just vanished.... 06:37:59 im going to rephrase what i say and pretend sobriety exists: one of my projects was looking into writing my own file system, and i wasn't sure what the benefits of zfs were at the time over other systems 06:38:06 not a singl typeo :D 06:38:22 iirc redundancy was what maked it popular 06:40:10 00:38 < Matt|home> not a singl typeo :D 06:41:08 MelMalik: In the past, having different mount points was somewhat standard (as it still is today), but they weren't terrible separate from the mounting file system. You can still easy specify different mount points today. Should be a problem as long as everything is available at boot time. 06:41:10 yeah don't mind me , 60mg of morphine and im feelin pretty goodbetter~ just tired. but ya does fbsd still use zfs? 06:41:48 yeap 06:42:12 Matt|home: There are many things that ZFS offers to make it a good FS. Redundancy is certainly a plus, but not the only thing. 06:42:26 any particular reason/ ? i had a hard time dealing with openbsd a few months ago trying to get a headless setup and the fs was a huge problem -_- 06:42:41 whats wrong with ffs ? 06:42:59 I thought this was a good article. Especially coming from XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-zfs-is-the-best-filesystem-for-nas/ 06:43:23 oh it was just a problem, i forget the details but iric it had to do with transfering stuff via flash drive. fat32 was the only comptaible system 06:44:33 that wasn't the only time ive had probelms with fs cmopatibilty across devices frankly speaking.. so i really should read more up on them, never got a chance to last time. can't tell you the number of times i had to wipe a damn flash drive reformat it and pray it worked that time -_- 06:45:09 thank u ek 06:45:19 ill read it when i can 06:47:56 super off topic but anyone else really like philly cheesesteaks? it's been a while since i had a great one and today i was pleasantly surprised with something halfway decnt. fam hates it for whatever reason ;_; 06:49:55 Matt|home: Just had a Philly Cheesesteak the other day during a big snow. Was amazing. 06:50:14 If you like meat, a Philly Cheesesteak is a great sandwich. 06:50:20 <3 personla opinion: yellow mustard = requirement 06:50:54 I'm somewhat partial to wiz, honestly. 06:51:03 wiz? 06:51:09 I'd be okay with mustard as well. 06:51:28 dijon mustard 06:51:39 wiz = Cheez Whiz. 06:51:44 dijok's great but i liove yellow 4 cheese. oh ew ;_; 06:51:51 ew.. well im glad u enjoy but ew lol 06:52:04 Fake cheese sauce. It's a staple of a "real" Philly Cheesesteak. 06:52:26 are you one of those people who make yuk sounds when you dont like things ? 06:52:31 i got a hankering to make my own now.. beef and chicken are stupid expensive 06:52:34 Matt|home: You'd be surprised how good it is! Everything is worth a try. 06:52:52 eh, im ok with trying new things. just p stubborn bout foods 06:52:53 fake cheese is bad cheese 06:53:26 sadly fam is not :p i like beef & other meat belogs on ground, they like sushi and seafood and stuff 06:53:30 I agree. A Philly is the only thing I ever eat it on. If "wiz" is an option, I'm gettin' it. 06:53:44 cheese wiz is nasty as fuck 06:54:05 i've had it a long time ago i think, i honestly don't remember what it is tasted 06:54:09 Again, I agree. I'd never eat it on anything other than a Philly. 06:54:15 remeber guys so we dont upset the topic people add freebsd every now and then after the non topic stuff 06:54:21 but i mean it's canned cheese and i eat that canned parm when $$ factors in so ya 06:54:34 It's basically like a salty Kraft singles "cheese". 06:54:45 eww kraft singles arent even cheese 06:54:46 u brought up the philly tho ;_; 06:54:47 wtf ek 06:55:18 Matt|home: just saying 06:55:19 I use Kraft singles all the time when I grill my FBSD USB sticks. 06:55:27 there we go man 06:55:42 * cpet hands ek a beer 06:56:04 Matt|home: Actually, you brought up the Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. lol 06:56:06 i buy authentic cheddar 06:56:21 i'll take ur word for it, 06:56:28 if you continue to have reading comprehension issues youll summon o0x1eef 06:56:40 we dont want that ;/ 06:56:47 uh 06:56:48 I just eat cheese. You know, like a 'Merican. 06:56:54 eww 06:57:31 Speaking of 'Merican. I'm going to make chilly cheese dogs tomorrow. 06:57:44 Gotta make the chili first, though. It'll be a day! 06:57:52 i made myself some tacos 06:58:24 hungry now -_- kind of. weird feeling 06:58:36 how can being hungry be weird ? 06:58:41 time for sideways nap. note to self: 06:58:52 eh, appetite surpression side effect 06:59:03 note to self: bring up OS implementation idea later 06:59:04 I had tacos for lunch. They were alright. I wanted hard shells but didn't wanna make 'em. So, I settled for soft. 06:59:09 i eat once a day so i wouldnt know 06:59:41 Matt|home: Enjoy your nap! 06:59:56 I have a 6-hour nap coming up soon. 06:59:56 * cpet blames ek 07:45:58 has someone be able to install chromium on freebsd15 ? after I upgraded to 15 I dont have chromium anymore because it looks like the package timing out during build when I looking on pkg-status.freebsd.org. 08:44:53 cpet, re `man periodic.conf' thanks. 09:29:19 ant-x: irc is not an email man 09:30:30 nwe: chromium-142.0.7444.175 Google web browser based on WebKit 09:30:47 ===> License BSD3CLAUSE LGPL21 MPL11 accepted by the user 09:30:47 ===> chromium-143.0.7499.40 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found 09:30:47 => chromium-143.0.7499.40-lite.tar.xz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles. 09:30:50 => Attempting to fetch https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-143.0.7499.40-lite.tar.xz 09:30:53 chromium-143.0.7499.40-lite.tar.xz 1085 MB 102 MBps 10s 09:30:57 think the problem is fixed 09:35:35 cpet: yay thanks for the heads up :D do you have ny rss-feed or something to get this kind of updates? 09:37:19 learn to be patient ? 09:38:41 cpet: meant more about getting the update that the packages had been built. :) 09:41:05 there is no real way to get info about built packages 09:41:24 i ran make -C /usr/ports/www/chromium fetch 09:42:24 cpet, it can used asynchronously with stable connections and/or bouncers.

OK. 09:46:40 i like simple emails, i dont like robot talk, and the rest are too old to really matter any more 09:47:38 They matter as long as people love and use them. What's robot talk? 09:50:43 Hello sir, how are you doing today ? I am doing well. The reason for the email ... 09:50:46 robot talk 09:51:13 Ha 09:51:38 Ah, that's plain bullshit: . 09:51:56 same applies to re: 4 hours later thank you cpet for the link 09:52:10 i have given up fucks have been given, i forgot about it 09:52:11 who cares 09:53:07 A delayed reply in not the same as bullshit (IMHO). 09:53:19 the way t is expressed it is 09:53:28 irc is not an email 09:53:51 i do not come here for fame, I came here to releive bordism help some people and then take a nap 09:54:00 in that time im tkaing a nap i dont not cre what happens here 09:54:11 up until i wake up and decide to releive bordism again 09:55:18 OK.

By the way, /dev/urandom seems blocking on my FreeBSD machine becuase Subversion hangs during checkout: . 09:59:45 ant-x: no people just google and then say they helped 10:00:11 Not everybody. 10:00:24 lies 10:00:34 what are the perms to /dev/urandom 10:02:20 cpet, as I said, I have but occasional access to that machine. I cannot do much now excpect collecvt TODO notes to take along with me next time I get access to the machine. 10:05:36 heh 10:05:47 lets ask a question about a system i dont even have access too 10:06:04 I'd have been able to connect it to the internet, use some SSH reverse-tunnel to access it, but no. 10:06:28 Indeed! What I do get to the machine, I must be all prepared :-) 10:07:11 I'll check /dev/urandom for blocking, and save the exact e-mail from save-entropy. 10:09:17 ok 10:13:29 I had FreeBSD 14.1 and expected pkg (install, upgrade) to work as long as The FreeBSD Foundation kept the repositories for 14.1 online. But yetsterday an attempt install Firefox caused a massive upgrade, and ended up with dependency conflicts (Firefox wouldn't start), so I had to upgrade from 14.1 to 14.3. 10:14:37 How can I check beforehand whether I have to upgrade my OS in order to use pkg again? 10:14:44 14.1 is EOL 10:14:48 Yes. 10:14:53 why would there be any packages ? 10:15:05 Why did pkg find them? 10:15:26 cause you upgraded 10:15:46 there is no ABI changes between small releases 10:16:25 No ABI changes, but things may break anyway, unless I upgrade the OS, right? 10:16:43 sometimes you have to learn to fix things yourself 10:16:57 such as I did when I upgraed to 15.0 10:17:34 also reading ports/UPDATING so you know what changed or what needs to be done to fix x 10:17:44 This time, I am trying to understand why pkg (seeminly) considered it OK to upgrade the repos and install packages for a later version of FreeBSD than I had at the moment. 10:18:23 Nowadays, binary packages are also called ports? The Handbook seems to reserver that term for sources. 10:19:39 cause dong a pkg upgrade will upgrade all pkg's doing a pkg upgrade firefox would also upgrade all packages 10:20:41 And will a simple `doas pkg install ...' cause an automatic upgrade? 10:20:55 no at the end it will say y or n 10:21:02 now if you do a pkg upgrade -y 10:21:03 then yes 10:21:08 After prompting, I mean. Semiautomatic. Yes. 10:21:22 if you press yes it will upgrade all packages 10:21:46 your issue is the fact that the difference in 14.1 and 14.3 is about 1.5 years 10:21:46 But the pkg.conf will not have changed? 10:22:38 nope 10:23:00 but then again people do weird things then blame it on the main system rather there edits 10:23:08 and then telling them to remove those to test they refuse so bleh 10:23:47 I thought that if I had FreeBSD 14.1 with its correct pkg.conf, I was entitiled to either get correct binaries or none at all. I never touched my pkg.conf . 10:24:52 ports are basically main 10:25:13 meaning updating them you will get the latest quarterly ot latest packages 10:26:31 Regardless of my FreeBSD version? That may explain my problems. 10:27:39 if you dont want to update for whatever stupid reason you could use portmaster and compile firefox 10:28:35 By the way, when upgrading a long-neglected FreeBSD, is it better gradually to upgrade to each next version, or go to the last one? 10:29:48 last one 10:30:39 do you have a mix of pkgs and ports ? 10:30:44 <[tj]> ant-x: upgrades are supported by release dates 10:30:56 OK, that's what I did yesterday. Thank. Hopefully, I'll fix the /dev/urandom problem and it'll be a working system. 10:30:57 <[tj]> so you should move to the next version which is newer in the series 10:31:04 <[tj]> but not as a jump, I don't think that is supported 10:31:09 No mix, only packages. 10:32:46 "not as a jump"? Ought I to have gone 14.1->14.2->14.3 ? 10:33:14 you can go from 14.1 to 14.3 10:33:38 but i run openbsd on a firewall and it requires to do it one at a time so thats how i do it here 10:34:20 <[tj]> you can go 14.1 -> 14.3, but you couldn't go 14.4 -> 15.0 10:34:45 why not? 10:35:01 <[tj]> because 14.4 will come out after 15.0 and so we don't support that change 10:35:09 you can upgrade majot releases 10:35:21 <[tj]> yeah maybe 10:35:23 <[tj]> we need a whiteboad 10:35:27 <[tj]> whiteboard 10:36:00 well if he goes from 14.1 to 14.3 then 15.0 10:36:05 why would he go back to 14.4 ? 10:36:11 <[tj]> I didn't say that 10:36:38 Whiteboard -- some metaphor? 10:37:44 ant-x: is this a server or desktop? im guesisng since it has firefox a desktop? 10:37:52 <[tj]> it needs a diagram 10:38:14 Yes, a desktop. 10:39:19 [tj], a version graph would be somewhat useful, perhaps in Graphviz. But wouldn't a simple chronological ordering help as well? 10:40:49 freebsd-update is slowly being deprecated in favor of pkgbase 10:41:01 so that whiteboard is rather useless now 10:41:10 or it would be vlaid for the duration of 15.0 10:41:18 because pkgbase will be smarter? 10:41:39 pkgbase will update your system like you would update packages 10:42:05 and freebsd-update would be gone 10:45:09 i tend to build on the fastest machine I have then NFS mount and do a make installworld on each one so fare that has faile once and that was due to switch turning off due to me kicking the power strip 10:45:50 but with many chrry picking and other hacks I managed to fix it 10:47:30 ant-x: you wouldnt have to worry about that until March if you dont decide to update now 10:47:50 personally i dont get why people dont update there desktops every release if its not a server 10:47:54 cpet, you build/compile on a single machie, and the distribute the artefacts? 10:47:58 but bleh im not the one having these issues heh 10:48:20 ant-x: yeap server. builds desk receives 10:48:28 desktop* 10:48:57 on 2.5 gbps its fast enough 10:49:00 cpet, Me? I am simply too afraid, the noob that I am. Yesterday was my first FreeBSD upgrade, and that only a minor one. 10:49:26 as long as you keep important files off your machine 10:49:34 reinstalling is a learning upgrade 10:50:04 i could format right ow reinstall in 5 mins, reinstall all my software and having a working KDE desktop in about 30 mins 10:50:34 why cause all my files are kept out of my machine 10:57:03 now the server is another story that runs my web server, DNS, DHCP, and some other stuff and well i dont touch that often 11:02:21 i think some of the wording that is used somtimes doesnt help in regards to upgrades 11:02:56 such as updating wndows and turning it off wont physically damage your computer but it will damage files or FS 11:20:37 cpet, re: keeping the files in a safe place> I have considered keeping not only my dotfiles, but all the important configuration files I have changed under VCS, but how: 1) make / version-controlled? 2) use an install script to put checked-out files at the right places? 11:58:12 i'm still wondering how smartctl knows a disk is smr... i didn't even notice it tells you if a disk is or isn't and am thinking it goes off of a serial number db or something 11:58:23 i doubt they'd put that in the fw 12:00:28 normally SMR disk are layed out differently the older CMR 12:03:35 and I think the highest drive you can get that is CMR is 6TB due to the areal density limitations or what not 12:03:53 normally I just buy a drive stick it and go on with my day 12:04:32 but I know theres people out there can will question why there drive is 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000015% slower than there old drive 12:05:19 and a lot of times those are the people that buy the cheap crap and expect it to run like the 500 ent stuff 12:06:06 i remeber back in the day when libs were staticly linked 12:06:22 then we had a long discussion on the drawbacks and looking at the ML we are having that same issue in 2025 12:07:12 in the case of smr vs cmr... 12:07:18 it's way slower :) 12:08:08 and there are drives that are larger than 6TB that are cmr 12:10:06 smr definitely does not work well with zfs... it probably doesn't work well with anything other than single disk bulk storage for something that goes a bit on the slow side like maybe camera footage.. and then you'd move the data somewhere else if you really needed it since read speeds are ok 12:12:48 I wouldnt know I havent used a normal HD in years they are either SSD or NVE 12:13:23 my last NAS did have NAS drives but I never cared much to actually bnch mark it as all it did was backup like 500 megs weekly 12:14:37 now on a personal note is it really worth wating so long to en large an array vs creating a new one. 12:15:37 as I have always beleive that checking the drive that so large the chances of the drive dying is high as you are putting my wear and tear on it than normal use 12:15:47 as I dont think your serve an FTP from that 12:17:05 but since I have always liked creating slices zfs makes it a hell of a lot easier to create them than UFS 12:22:23 under normal circumstances this should have taken a day or two 12:22:50 the delay was related to awful seagate smr drives failing 12:23:38 i guess smr drives aren't so bad when you create the pool if you don't expect to expand the vdev and if you have to replace one you can't use another smr drive to replace it otherwise the resilver will either never finish or take 10x the time 12:24:35 183G / 69.2T copied at 696M/s, 0.26% done, 1 days 04:52:43 to go 12:25:03 i just added another drive... and the time is reducing a lot faster than it actually states... so maybe less than a day if it doesn't have a drive fail 12:25:57 obviously more time for larger vdevs / disks .. but given the fact you can still use it and scale it up... it's great imo 12:31:51 scan: scrub in progress since Mon Dec 8 06:31:25 2025 23.5G / 23.5G scanned, 2.95G / 23.5G issued at 1.47G/s 0B repaired, 12.56% done, 00:00:13 to go 14:17:17 10 years ago I wrote a jails bootstrap script that unpacks (in 15.0 case) this https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/15.0-RELEASE/base.txz 14:18:04 when pkg tries to install python or whatever goes into those jails now on 15 it says: pkg: packagesite URL error for pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.txz -- pkg+:// implies SRV mirror type 14:18:32 could someone maybe tell me should I sed delete something out from pkg configuration after base.txz is unpacked? 14:26:41 maybe sed -i -e 's/pkg+:/pkg+https/g' ? 15:35:51 anyone having issues with syslogd in 15.0-RELEASE? 15:51:01 🤔 15:53:44 It really feels like 15.0-release has been problematic in general. 15:56:11 i haven't had any issues with it so far. i vaguely remember having an issue with syslog though a long long time ago and wound up swapping to syslog_ng 15:56:20 there's also rsyslogd 15:58:24 That's a good way to go about it. I feel the same way about using dhcpcd instead of dhclient. 15:59:57 well i mean. it was just one of those things where i was like... "quick and easy" swap, disable, enable, forget 16:00:16 Right. 16:00:18 i tend to stick with the default tools as much as possible, including shell. 16:00:31 i had similar issues with powerd and wound up swapping to powerdxx 16:00:53 i do too.. but powerd randomly stopped working and i'd find that the cpus were maxed out for 3 days before noticing 16:01:30 i should take a look at that again. maybe go back to the base tools and see what happens. 16:37:02 kenrap: 15 has isues despite a warning saying pkgbase is still experimental? 16:37:49 if [ !

And it breaks wine gaming for some: https://codeberg.org/Alexander88207/Mizutamari/src/branch/main/Docs/Hints-Current-Problems-Limitations.md 16:46:15 I guessing part of the problem is because much of the testing went to pkgbase and little to the actual base system and infrastructure for 15.0 16:46:55 or drm and friends are ports and not part of the base system? 16:47:20 (hence "and infrastructure") 16:47:34 bold of you to assume people actually test when we ask them to 16:47:43 vm switch create public and vm switch add bge3 for me cpet 16:48:14 kevans: :( 16:48:31 spuos: test that template 16:48:49 i would edit that template and change the size or add in -s 128g 16:48:54 or however big you want 16:49:00 think it default to 20g 16:49:26 regardless it wont get the same testing as if it were included 16:49:30 once upon a time it was 16:50:10 now it works perfectly fine with KDE, intel i915 alderlake 16:51:36 kevans: I was told by alexander that prior releases like 13.0 weren't as bad as 15.0 in terms of how things work out of the box. 16:52:01 ever tried 5.0 ? 16:53:27 now that was fun 16:54:24 * kenrap understands he made some false assumptions. 16:54:25 cpet: no matter what size I keep hanging at [ 8.558105] virtio_blk virtio0: [vda] 41943040 512-byte logical blocks (21.5 GB/20.0 GiB) 16:54:43 as if it's too big every time 16:55:27 how do you mount zfs / in rw in single user mode? 16:56:01 i've done it in my sleep with ufs but have not once in zfs 16:56:17 zfs readonly=off zroot/ROOT/default 16:56:34 thanks 16:57:03 do you have perms on where the vm saves ? 16:58:08 yeah, i suppose i could mdconfig the disk and zpool import it with -M 16:58:10 does your CPU support the VM-x stuff ? 16:58:52 yay i got my new spammed mcaffee license 17:00:01 yes, it does support VMX but not sure why that's relevant 17:00:14 cpet: yeah, root. 17:00:25 rtprio: that was for spuos 17:00:37 oh 17:00:39 also I think vm extensions but how do I check 17:00:52 which CPU you have ? 17:01:03 dmesg|grep CPU: 17:01:56 it's been too long since cpu 17:02:07 so dmesg won't show 17:02:09 or sysctl hw.model 17:03:36 hw.model: Intel(R) Core(TM) 7 240H 17:03:52 yeah it has it 17:04:06 did you init first ? 17:04:48 did you edit the config ? 17:05:30 init first? that was part of the init I think, I left it a while and it freaked out because ram0 didn't exist 17:09:13 edit that config and add in debug=yes 17:09:20 and rerun see if it spits out more 17:15:24 I don't know, I'm getting esoteric zfs related errs, I was at least able to boot a live system before this, minus internet 17:18:20 So i recently ran into a problem where I can't build rust because I don't have enough ram. how do i switch from ports back to packages? 17:19:38 cpet: any chances I'm doing something wrong with the vm switch or something? 17:20:33 is it pf or something? 17:20:38 CrypticSquared: pkg update 17:20:54 cpet just keep using that over the top? 17:21:07 spuos: which os are you trying to install? 17:21:41 rtprio: gentoo linux, I have it booting, but no internet 17:22:08 I'm on the installation iso and grub bootloading to it 17:25:30 spuos: https://unix.beer/~chris/gentoo.conf 17:25:33 that works 17:26:00 CrypticSquared: it will reinstall any packages which were compiled as ports with different options 17:26:13 if you did not change any options it wont change anything 17:26:24 cpet ah ok thaanks 17:27:08 spuos: thought you said it had issues with blk? 17:27:42 cpet: only with the legacy cfg 17:27:45 10:54 < spuos> cpet: no matter what size I keep hanging at [ 8.558105] virtio_blk virtio0: [vda] 41943040 512-byte logical blocks (21.5 GB/20.0 GiB) 17:28:15 so uefi works fine ? 17:28:39 could be gentoo doesnt have the virtio crap loaded 17:28:42 cpet: from previous attempts of my own, no. 17:28:58 I get stuck on this frame buffer thing 17:29:06 i loaded the kernel and got to root prompt 17:29:11 using that conf i posted 17:29:48 yeah, previous attempts and I've been running that new cfg since the "only with the legacy cfg' line 17:30:00 this line fbuf frame buffer base: 0xd3401800000 [sz 16777216] 17:31:13 IDk what that means, maybe I am on bios freebsd and that's an issue? I forget what I installed with 17:33:03 but I just tried replacing it with grub and it boots instantly 17:35:24 cpet, I see the mac addr in an interface when I run ifconfig now 17:35:52 but no ip, or anything. How would I get the switch to let it connect? 17:41:02 I have the vm-public in the host ifconfig 17:52:21 cpet: Somehow, I managed to get orca slicer working in an arch bhyve vm using flatpak lol 17:52:44 so vm-public should have your main interface and the tap of the vm, is that correct? 17:55:21 rtprio: I think so, I have like 4 taps from opening and remaking vms 17:57:05 Also til that twm is a thing, it reminds me of Rio lol 18:01:34 spuos: so dhclient inside the vm and ... anything ? 18:01:49 spuos: `ifconfig vm-public` to confirm 18:04:41 vm-public is a bridge 18:04:58 the vm would see the nic as vtnet0 or whatever its called in the penguin world 18:05:09 penguin world hehe 18:05:43 nxjoseph: teh penguin world 18:06:06 its raining and its 38C and people ar ebitching about my lawn 18:07:25 JetpackJackson: i would of thought that works in wine 18:07:39 It did but it was a bit janky 18:08:10 rtprio: ifconfig vm public shows an interface 18:08:16 arent we all when we wake up in the morning ? 18:08:20 would I expect an ip? 18:08:31 spuos: no its a bridge 18:09:25 if you see vm-public and memeber of nic0 18:09:35 you shoudl be able to do a dhclient bleh0 18:10:08 it doesn't share the ip wih the host? 18:10:14 cpet: wildebeest/penguin world :) 18:10:29 root@server:~ # ifconfig vm-public | grep member member: re0 flags=143 18:10:32 root@server:~ # 18:11:11 kenrap: the onyl linux system I can use is Slackware 18:11:36 my members include bge3 (my out interface) and some taps from previous vm attempts 18:11:40 im not a options kiddie or care about making my system .01^pi% faster like in arch and gentoo 18:11:57 I can't tolerate any of them anymore. That's why I'm here :) 18:12:21 I just use gentoo because it supports the software I like on my niche device 18:12:21 spuos: i would remove all that 18:12:48 hey fam. anyone upgraded to FreeBSD 15? anything to be aware of? 18:12:50 kenrap: i just got my degree so im stuck with using them regardless 18:13:02 * kenrap nods 18:13:07 antranigv: if done correctly not much 18:13:20 kenrap, i can't enjoy them anymore too, just openwrt on cheap tplink router 18:13:42 Heheh 18:14:06 i use linux on my phone so bleh 18:14:12 its not going away 18:14:19 linux, or, android 18:14:26 android 18:14:36 I just pretend I don't see the "penguin" in android ;) 18:14:53 there is droid instead :D 18:14:58 there was, actually, its gone 18:15:11 i tried changing my phone to one of those alternatives but navy fed stops working 18:15:16 and i has to pay my bills 18:15:54 cpet: how so? 18:16:23 I think it doesnt like the version string and gives some weird error that i never cared to fix or google 18:16:29 so I just reverted back 18:17:12 one of those oh cool ok bye momments 18:18:24 think id.me was having some issues as well and i cant login to va without that id.me crap 18:18:49 and you're sure this couldn't be like a pf thing? 18:19:06 well i dont know your setup 18:19:20 and since most people dont like to mention it i stopped bothering to ask 18:20:10 but if you are using pf i would turn it off 18:20:47 i dont think russia will hack ou in 5 mins of pf being off 18:21:42 alright 18:22:08 if it works well now you know to add rules to pf 18:25:21 no idea still 18:25:49 this is an agitating issue 18:29:19 reboot the machine and let vm-bhyve create the configured switch 18:53:49 hi i just installed freebsd this weekend, whats up 19:08:06 acdw: awesome, enjoy your stay :) 19:08:55 thanks! 19:09:18 👍 19:09:57 using it on a laptop which is ok. suspend/resume was a surprise lol 20:02:21 hey acdw :) 20:07:50 hiiiiiiii 20:53:10 oh i have a question --- so i've up to this point installed everything --- kde, emacs, etc etc etc -- with pkg. however, sbcl is only available thru ports i believe. i know that using both pkg and ports is not a great idea, so do i need to go back and rebuild all the software i've installed via pkg with the ports workflow? 20:58:40 acdw: theres no harm in mixing 21:00:49 just build sbcl from ports and it will use the packages that are already installed 21:00:57 oh ok cool - i've seen it said where it can cause problems due to like, dependencies getting out of sync? is that old intel or is it more like, it can be a problem but not til i have a bunch of stuff overlapping? 21:01:35 ports will update / replace whats needed 21:02:16 > Before installing and using the Ports Collection, please be aware that it is generally ill-advised to use the Ports Collection in conjunction with the binary packages provided via pkg to install software 21:02:21 like this is straight from the bsd handbook 21:02:28 i'm just confused i guess 21:05:16 i dont know how the author of that came to that conclusion 21:21:11 There should be no problem with mixing *provided* you don't set default port options when building ports. If you do, yopu may run into dependency loops, install conflicts, and other niceties. 21:21:30 s/default/nondefaukkt/ 21:21:35 ohh 21:21:42 like what kind of non-default port optoins? 21:21:42 s/kk/l/ 21:22:14 Anything that would add to the direct or indirect dependencies, basically. 21:22:20 ahh gotcha, thanks :) 22:39:08 hey folks, I believe I have a bug report 22:39:28 the report might be that I was trying to do something stupid, but it does panic the kernel 22:42:56 Does it have steps to duplicate? 22:44:45 it does 22:48:35 If you have a FreeBSD Bugzilla account, you should do it there. Include the steps to duplicate, the FreeBSD version, and if you have one the panic dump. 22:48:59 working on it :) 22:49:18 helpfully it seems like dmesg sticks around across the reboot so I was able to recover it 22:51:08 I think I've minimized my test case. I can provide a crashdump if anyone can point me at how to tell freebsd to dump to my swap partition as a liveusb disk 22:53:31 See "man dumpon". 22:57:16 perf, got it 22:59:14 ope, no i don't, I got a "savecore: operation not permitted" booting into my regular environment. hm. 23:00:28 does it? i thought dmesg clears out. although i think you get the same stuff in /var/log/messages 23:02:15 zip: do you have dump device configured ? 23:02:26 The liveusb may have a different swap partition or none. 23:02:27 I do 23:02:40 ah, I needed to unmount swap first 23:04:40 hopefully encrypted swap didn't stomp on it, but it was happy to extract the core 23:05:09 finally installed bsd for the first time on a partition of my arch linux thinkpad, so i guess im allowed to be here 23:06:11 whooboy, compressing this sure is making the fans spin 23:06:33 is it worth popping freebsd-14 on the ol' USB stick and seeing if I can repro it with that? 23:12:18 If you can isolate it to one major version that way, yes. Narrows the search. 23:17:13 I'll need to wait for access to bugzilla 23:18:37 *nod* 23:36:35 repro'd on 14.3, guess I'll go earlier tomorrow 23:42:41 Me: man I am fucking exhausted after a day of fixing bugs in open source software 23:43:14 Also me: oooh a kernel panic let me work out how to reproduce it from a live usb and then take a crash dump that won't have passwords in it 23:45:13 Tired of spending all day looking at the bad rectangle, time to finally kick back and spend the evening looking at the good rectangle, etc etc 23:49:39 dont forget the smaller vertical rectangle! 23:57:41 just realised I have a thinkpad lying around that also has an iwl chipset, repro'd there too. This may actually have the makings of a useful bug report... 23:57:55 There is no rectangle, only Zuul.
