ivanbu: where are you supposed to edit a file to change where ffmpeg is for jellyfin?

i thought it was the encoding.xml but i don't think that did the trick

can fbsd do this native with qsv or vaapi?

or do you always need to run ffmpeg with that weird libc6 shim?

Macer: no idea, I guess the question was for ivy :-)

hello

ivanbu: it was. Sorry about that.

its the time of month/year when I need libreoffice to do taxes & paperwork

but computer says no: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""

I wonder what dependency is missing to cause that

is openoffice still a thing?

I think it died a well-deserved death some time ago

I reinstalled libreoffice and somehow something got fixed. but it didn't add any new packages.

it self healed!

i've been slowly trying to set up fbsd jails that have parity with my linux containers ... the struggle is real :)

openoffice has basically had minimal feature releases in the last decade openoffice.apache.org

one thing that hurts emotionally is that there is no mount_cifs for fbsd

dch: yeah i know i saw it in the pkg repo a little while ago when i was looking for something else. i was curious but never checked its status.

does oracle still "own" it?

oh yeah mount_cifs etc would be very handy

no oracle donated it to the apache foundation back in 2010 or something

dch: right now the only way i can manage to mount cifs is using rclone

which has its own set of problems

and given the fact they removed mount_smbfs from ports/pkg ...

the only other option would be to use nfs and maintain two backends

which i may actually start doing... but i'd have to use both smb and nfs on the same dir and i'm sure that would be a problem

I don't really have any CIFS stuff here now, does net/samba423 not include any client-side support either?

dch: i don' think anything to mount no

i think there's smbclient but that acts more like an ftp client.. although i haven't used it in years

i couldn't figure out how to get a jail fstab to mount using rclone either. rclone works just find using 'mount /dir' but in the jail fstab it doesn't work so i had to add a @reboot cronjob

which is a terrible way to do it

Macer, Maybe Libre Office is what you're looking for? I think it's a more modern fork.

upgrade to 15 worked flawlessly, as always <3

CrtxReavr: I use libreoffice. I was just curious about OpenOffice.

i need to sort out what deps i need to sort out building the gomuks legacy

the pkg getting updated hurt quite a bit

Macer: how about git checkout b24429e3ede02a855f8e7ecb3564af0287306483 (last commit touching gomuks before the version update acording to freshports) and copy the port from there?

is there any way to install freebsd entirely remotely? what is described here: docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/remote-install seems to be fairly out of date and not work anymore.

I need a bootable image that will automatically set up networking (dhcp) and start sshd so I can connect and do the installation

cvl: perhaps you can import vm image ?

iirc bsdinstall is completely scriptable so you could add an config to the installer and let it do the installation and have a setup system after that

nimaje: oh you're right, I didn't know this. seems worth a try: man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bsdinst…A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20If%20building

Wow but as cvl mentions docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/remote-install seems to be really outdated by its reliance upon sysinstall which seems to have last been seen in FreeBSD 9. Other parts of it seem to have been updated more recently though. It is definitely an article that would be a good target for some love and attention.

cvl: depending on where; i dd'd an image to the disk of a oracle vm and rebooted it

Why does cp(1) not need a loop around copy_file_range(2) to handle EINTR?

This fails for (some) fuse filesystem mounts, at least as the source of the copy.

cracauer, I don't know but guessing because BSD has restartable signals??

I've managed to create a custom ISO that uses DHCP and has my pub key in authorized_keys, the problem is that sshd only gets started *after* selecting "Live System". How do I have sshd start at boot, w/o needing to select Live System first?

What I did so far: untar a -dvd1.iso, edit rc.conf adding the line sshd_enable="YES", creating a new ISO with mkisoimages.sh

cvl: no serial console on that host?

rtprio: nope, no serial console, no graphical output either

that's why I'm trying to create a ISO that will automatically enable SSH access, so I can do the installation entirely remotely

did you " Then place a script as above in etc/installerconfig" ?

the way I understand these docs is, that installerconfig will do the whole installation. I don't want it to install anything, just enable SSH access.

ah figured it out, just needed to delete rc.local from the ISO

is there a way to print a videos file's specs in the shell ?

ffmpeg's ffprobe

ffprobe?

rigth

thanks

bsd's tar is magic

I didn't know it was possible to un-tar a ISO

BSD's tar uses libarchive and libarchive knows about *everything*! It's really fancy and nice.

do you use it for that ?

I don't have opinion on eBPF but this looks convenient github.com/loresuso/psc

o\

ffprobe -hide_banner -show_format -show_streams input.video

powerfull

hrmph, trying to use 'podman compose' to run immich but don't know how to force it to linux/amd64
