zip: btw, you know it's trivial to cross-compile src, right? you don't need to compile on some old armv6 system

this also works from a macos or linux host

G'day. Setting a static IPv6 address/gateway in rc.conf results in 'no carrier'. Using 'accept_rtadv' and rtsold works as normal with the same address info. Is this normal?

FreeBSD 15.0, new install, dual nic server.

BraveheartBSD: what did you put in rc.conf?

The provided IPv6 info as indicated by isp. ifconfig_igb0 <static ipv4 address> and ifconfig_igb0_ipv6 <static ipv6 address>

Same again with igb1 .....

and the gateway info and subnet mask?

please copy and paste the actual text you put in rc.conf

1 sec

This the working rc.conf, if I add the adress as static (from ipconfig) no carrier, nics no longer active

are you trying to set the static address using ifconfig instead of rc.conf? did you bring the interface up? (ifconfig igb0 inet6 fd00::1/64 up)

if you're using rc.conf, please show the rc.conf that doesn't work, not the one that works fine

No. I was using the supplied ifconfig IPv6 address as indicated in the handbook.

Ok, 1 sec again

Broken rc.conf

ok, please show the console output from boot (only the userland bits, not the kernel messages)

I've been locked out, lol. 1 sec, again .....

to be clear, i mean the startup messages from when it's not working...

Yeah, still trying to get in.

pastebin.com/xT7tPg73 - Non working network, manually added IPv6 address. I also get a kernel message that igb (nic) is unregistered.

I had to put it back on accept_rtadv ...... the entire server is unusable

sorry, what i'm after is the messages the system print while booting - where it's configuring the network and starting services etc

although looking at that log, i suspect your problem is related to having two interfaces on the same network, which is... not advisable

Ok, I'll comment 1 out.

1 sec

I'll reconfigure to use 1 nic, thank you, given me something to work on.

pid 71689 (bhyve), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 6 (no core dump - coredumpsize limit is 0)

cool

can freebsd's swappiness be increased so it's more eager to swap? i found that freebsd is less likely to swap than linux, but when it starts to, it kinda bogs the system down and causes things like NIC load to go up and net throughput to drop

so i wanna experiment and see if making it more eager to swap makes it not such a problem when it starts swapping

i don't think swappiness directly exists

Ivy: good point. But also I should really throw this thing in the bin

ivy: I have fixed the raspberry pi zero usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/2oDiL6az/1767525779.JPG

kind of crazy how intel cpus don't break a sweat when under load compared to my amd fbsd server that constantly runs 50C+

the intels breaking 40C is kind of rare

of which generation both?

Macer, for Intel, what do you in <man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?hwpstate_intel> .

huh, after fiddling with Linuxulator a little, I like how it's more lightweight than even containers, I guess

like I can see how it'd be quite easy to run services inside a Linux chroot just like native FreeBSD ones, or run things from scripts, or whatever

well, linuxemu only does syscall translation, it doesn't do any containerisation, so you can't really compare it with container solutions, but you can use them together, like putting the linux program in a chroot or jail

what I mean is that on near every other system (besides Linux), something at least as heavy as containers is how you get Linux support

and you haven't really the option of anything lighter weight

migrating machines to FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE today, and I'm surprised to see prompts to type ZFS native encryption keys upon reboot

is there an easy way to disable this?

otherwise the machine would hang forever, I'm glad I have IPMI

hm, shouldn't such a prompt only be there if you have zfskeys_enable=YES and some datasets configured via zfskeys_datasets ?

thanks, nimaje, I just figured out I had zfskeys_enable set to YES indeed, I'm exploring that

nimaje: thanks a bunch, it looks like it did the trick!

anyone know a recipe to boot freebsd9 (no efi/uefi) as a bhyve host? I suspect there are some docs on having it emulate a specific bios

will ask my favorite llm i guess to start

bhyveload doesn't handle it?

i don't know, I will rtfm on that, thank you

somehow my debian template for bhyve doesn't work for trixie, ugh

aquamo4k1: I believe the csm (bios support) module for bhyve was retired a while ago

did it ever exist ?

vortexx: ack, tyvm

aquamo4k1: yw

veg: if the dataset is not automounted you can skip loading keys on boot

on linux i can see what x86-64 feature levels the cpu supports by running `/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help` does freebsd have something like that?

kerneldove: this help?

uh forums.freebsd.org/threads/determining-cpu-capabilities.63013

there are a few suggestions there anyway

ya ty

vortexx, mzar, aquamo4k1: the one I know about expired 2024-04-01 freshports.org/sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve-csm

thanks mzar, setting zfskeys_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf worked

now wondering how I can mount /dev/shm within a Linux jail from the FreeBSD host :)

linux(4) suggests mounting a tmpfs to /compat/linux/dev/shm

I already have tmpfs on /compat/linux/dev/shm (tmpfs, local) on the host, but it is not being pushed within the Linux jail, and I can't quite reboot it in this state (halfway through a migration that requires /dev/shm) so I'm trying to do the mount from the host into the jail

Hello. I'm looking for someone who could test out generated CI builds for SuperTux. We just finished the FreeBSD pipeline and I need someone to test out the binaries

We provide binaries for FreeBSD 14.3 and 15.

hm, I found the action on github and the list of artifacts, but how do I download one of them?

nimaje: Ah, I can give you a link

Which version do you have?

14.3

14.3 or 15.0

Alright

github.com/SuperTux/supertux/action…ns/20699704394/artifacts/5019272247 < does this work?

This is the release build.

it gives me a 404, probably only wants to give it to logged-in github users

would also explain why I can't see any download links in that list of artifacts

okay.

Hmm...

IDK where to upload
