05:54:44 <Posterdati> hi
09:09:12 <yourfate> running freeBSD on an rpi, I want to set up a network bridge. The rpi is connected to wifi, I want to connect a printer to the ethernet port, and bridge that to the wifi
09:11:45 <yourfate> ah found the relevant help article, should be ez
09:12:14 <nimaje> hm, if it were two ethernet ports you would create a bridge add the interfaces to it and move the network config to the bridge, but iirc wifi is special and has problems with something like that
09:13:38 <yourfate> is it not just another device?
09:13:42 <yourfate> network device
10:54:09 <scottpedia> yourfate: that should be easily done with a iptable command and a change of some system env variable
10:54:28 <scottpedia> what you are creating is an internal switch
10:54:45 <scottpedia> (basically)?
11:56:34 <ant-x> Hello, all. In order to get a framebuffer console at my display's native resolution, I installed and loaded i915-kms, and then specified a larger font with loader.conf/screen.font . Now, since the latter setting takes affect early, before the boot menu, and the former late, mid-boot, my boot menu is displayed in an enormous font and is barely usable. What can be done about it? Setting screen.height and screen.width has not effect, nor does vbe_max_resolution ...
11:56:59 <ant-x> ^ What happened? Libera is not accepting very long messages?
12:13:21 <ant-x> s/not/now/
12:27:03 <vkarlsen> IRC has always had limits on the msg length
12:27:29 <vkarlsen> Exactly what the limits are has varied with the different ircds and over time
12:31:19 <hodapp> it's a feature
12:38:55 <ant-x> I know that, but remember that the limit here on Libera was much stricter.
13:11:17 <Arfrever> ant-x: I think that the limit was 400 characters some years ago, probably in times of Freenode. Your message seems to have 466 characters, so not that MUCH longer.
13:47:32 <eoli3n> Hi again, so the problem came back, and after a forced reboot, nothing in /var/crash
13:48:02 <eoli3n> nothing special in /var/log/messages
13:48:06 <eoli3n> i don't know how to debug this
13:48:16 <eoli3n> the system just shutdown without any reason
13:48:22 <eoli3n> no kernel crash, no errors
13:48:46 <eoli3n> no netdata alert
14:19:17 <ant-x> Arfrever, also, this limit depends on so many factors besides the IRCd.
14:39:48 <ant-x> It is (512 - overhead), where overhead depends on many variables.
15:34:20 <yourfate> oh, I just realized freeBSD doesn't support wifi on the rpi4 at all
15:34:22 <yourfate> the built in one
16:03:49 <rtprio> eoli3n: does that provider have a serial console too, or just vnc
17:27:40 <CrtxReavr> eoli3n, my first thoughts would be to suspect something environmental at the VPS provider. . . power. . . hypervisor problems. . . over-subscription.
17:28:25 <rtprio> if it just hangs perhaps it is crashing on the serial console
17:28:37 <rtprio> oh, you could make sure that the loader us using the screen as the console, that might get you more info
17:29:18 <CrtxReavr> Is that serial console?  Or an emulated VGA console?
17:29:39 <CrtxReavr> Maybe login with it and see what terminal it shows you on.
17:36:30 <eoli3n> rtprio CrtxReavr there is no provider, the VM is running on my internet box (french freebox)
17:36:45 <eoli3n> arm64
17:37:22 <eoli3n> where the problem occurs, the vm is unreachable
17:37:42 <eoli3n> its running my soju instance, so if you see me disconnected, it failed
17:37:54 <eoli3n> i rebooted the router this afternoon, maybe it solved it
17:40:52 <rtprio> not familar with 'freebox'
17:42:17 <eoli3n> isp router
17:42:21 <eoli3n> free is a brand
17:42:38 <eoli3n> https://www.degrouptest.com/uploads/media/freebox-delta.jpg
17:47:28 <rtprio> well, the advice still stands, force the loader to use the screen as the console, it might help you
18:01:40 <eoli3n> i'm sorry, i don't get your point
18:01:44 <eoli3n> let me show you what i have
18:02:19 <eoli3n> this is what i get : https://0x0.st/PcoN.png
18:02:43 <eoli3n> when the VM "crash", symptoms are : unreachable from the network, and that console seems frozen
18:03:04 <eoli3n> i can see the message "vps is started" but the screen remains black
18:03:16 <rtprio> i understand
18:03:32 <eoli3n> what do you mean then by "loader using the screen as the console" ?
18:04:18 <rtprio> i'm telling you to add `console=vidconsole` in /boot/loader.conf
18:04:30 <rtprio> and see if you get the crash on the screen next time
18:04:40 <eoli3n> ok, let's try, thanks
18:05:09 <eoli3n> should i reboot ?
18:05:11 <rtprio> when it's booted, is it vlc? can the font change?
18:05:32 <eoli3n> vlc ? sorry i don't get the question
18:05:39 <eoli3n> font change where when ?
18:06:25 <rtprio> never mind, i see (ttyu0), which is already serial
18:06:52 <eoli3n> when it boot, i can see that it's using the console output, let's reboot to show you
18:10:07 <eoli3n> back (it holds my irc bouncer)
18:10:09 <eoli3n> https://0x0.st/PcoB.png
18:10:11 <eoli3n> hey maybe i can setup as a display, i can see a button "screen" on my vm manager
18:10:13 <eoli3n> I need to change 5. at the boot screen right ?
18:15:20 <rtprio> no i take this all back, if you're already on the serial console
18:15:29 <eoli3n> oh ok
18:15:39 <rtprio> there _should_ be some output when it crashes
18:15:55 <eoli3n> i agree, that's really strange
18:16:14 <eoli3n> i'm betting on the isp router which was crashing my VM, not the kernel crashing it
18:16:23 <eoli3n> wait and see
18:22:12 <rtprio> i've not seen a mass market router that just happens to allow to run customer VMs
18:26:43 <ddadestroija> is v15.0 of freebsd Ready to install? I tried to update and had to do a recover becuase "libsys not found"
18:27:02 <rtprio> ddadestroija: freebsd-update or pkgbase?
18:27:15 <ddadestroija> freebsd update
18:27:52 <rtprio> it requires a little more care to do a major update
18:28:17 <ddadestroija> rtprio: what would you reccomend?
18:28:21 <rtprio> https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgbase#Major_version_upgrades
18:28:37 <rtprio> that worked for me, on one system
18:28:48 <rtprio> the system i yolo'd i believe i had the same libsys error
18:30:02 <ddadestroija> ok i'm trying to go from 14.3 to 15
18:30:33 <rtprio> the key bit is that you need to set the ABI and upgrade
18:46:42 <ddadestroija> rtprio: how do I set the ABI?
18:50:10 <rtprio> did you read the link?
18:50:12 <rtprio> it's right there
18:52:30 <ddadestroija> oh ok I see it there under status
18:52:56 <rtprio> what? no
18:53:19 <rtprio> i lined the exact section. env ABI= ...
18:54:33 <ddadestroija> yeah under major uprades I see it is an env var I need to chane, Thanks
20:14:11 <polarian> still cant get sound to work
20:14:13 <polarian> ugh
20:14:24 <polarian> pcm shows up
20:14:27 <polarian> sndstat looks fine
20:14:29 <polarian> beep does nothing
20:14:34 <polarian> writing data to /dev/dsp does nothing
20:14:45 <polarian> boot a linux install and then play sound, works fine
20:15:55 <vkarlsen> Have you checked the volume?
20:15:58 * vkarlsen ducks and runs
20:18:35 <polarian> vkarlsen: yes
20:40:23 <polarian> vkarlsen: https://bpa.st/6RCA
20:40:25 <polarian> see
20:45:35 <ant-x> Hello, all. Do I understand correctly that /etc/adduser.conf cannot be set to create for each user a new persoal group with the name of that user?
20:50:57 <ant-x> adduser man page says it can create groups, yet in interactive mode, if I set a custom main group, it fails with an error saying the group does not exist.
20:51:34 <ant-x> The only explicit reference to creating groups is in connexion with the -f option. No other way to cause adduser to create a group?
20:53:35 <ant-x> If I want to create user jane in persona group jane, is there a single-step process to do it, or shall I first create the group, and then the user?
21:01:59 <ant-x> I hope pw useradd can to it.
21:29:32 <rtprio> yes, the custom main group would need to exist already
21:30:00 <rtprio> but adduser should create $user and also the group named $user by default
21:42:05 <ant-x> rtprio, I mean that adduser does not create the group named $user.
21:42:34 <ant-x> When creating user ant, it fails with: group ant does not exist.
21:42:48 <ant-x> I did it with pw.
21:43:01 <ant-x> (pw useradd)
21:55:11 <rtprio> `pw useradd ant -g ant` didn't work?
22:36:00 * FatalNIX spins around yelling "whee!" Good afternoon!
22:37:34 <ant-x> rtprio, I wrote that pw works, but not adduser (unless I pre-create the group).
22:37:45 <ant-x> FatalNIX, you see me lazy rolling...
22:38:58 <FatalNIX> If you aren't lazy rolling then you aren't livin'!
22:56:42 <aGaTHoS> polarian: have you tried to changue the sound unit with sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=<n>, I had no sound when first installed freebsd til i changued this to 1 in my case
22:57:45 <polarian> aGaTHoS: nope
22:57:52 <polarian> as in nope doesnt change anything
23:01:36 <aGaTHoS> writing data to /dev/dsp1 or /dev/dsp2 ... also does not give you sound?
23:03:54 <polarian> https://bpa.st/KYQA make release cant find pkgbase repo data...
23:05:13 <polarian> aGaTHoS: nothing
23:13:51 <polarian> re: make release failing
23:13:59 <polarian> for some reason its looking for latest, while the version there is 15.0p2
23:14:25 <polarian> oh I need to set osrelease prob
23:14:58 <polarian> wait no
23:15:10 <polarian> it defaults to uname, so it should be correct anyways
23:55:46 <FatalNIX> Hm. Do I need to do anything specific to upgrade base packages and such in 15.0 if I went with testing out pkgbase? The handbook isn't very clear on that. It talks about upgrading to 15.0 and such, but if I just want to check if there are updates, since freebsd-update is going to be replaced, what's the procedure in the meantime if any? I can't tell if pkg upgrade is good enough.
