01:30:48 Hey I’m doing a baremetal install of FreeBSD I need help 01:31:15 The installer detected my WiFi card but is asking for resolver configuration what do I type in there? Checked the manual but it doesn’t mention it 01:33:20 Okay I managed to use my phones tethering for now but the problem is that FreeBSD only wants to install on the entire hard drive rather than installing on the unallocated space 01:45:21 Fixed, had to use ufs 02:04:49 Hey I'm unable to update pkg post installation. It says unable to update freebsd ports no srv record found for freebsdports kmods 02:24:31 Fix: I had to add 1.1.1.1 in /etc/resolve.conf 02:46:05 Any idea why sshd in FreeBSD 15 dies all the time on a box not doing anything? 02:47:13 sshd[1353]: fatal: pack_hostkeys: serialize hostkey private: string is too large 02:47:38 0234 this morning, a system that is only reachable by my IP and was totally idle 02:55:22 that error message seems like a pretty good hint 02:55:40 have you tried recreating the host keys? 02:58:02 It's a one week old VM that's literally done absolutely nothing, but across all FreeBSD 15 hosts sshd has been dying off randomly 02:58:05 https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/sshd-frequent-crashes-segfault-and-fatal-during-key-checks.102252/ 02:58:17 Apparently it's a known issue with sshd being broken in FreeBSD 15 02:58:43 At least I still have a few years I can revert to 14 before it's EOL 03:32:32 riceandbeans: you are on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE ? 03:33:09 SponiX: Yeah 03:36:40 I'd like to just scrap all my FreeBSD 15 boxes, but as a ports maintainer I can't exactly do that. 03:45:13 riceandbeans: you are on the latest kernel and userland patches ? And is this sshd in the base userland, or is it a port ? 03:46:30 I have two FreeBSD CURRENT vms running the latest stab-week builds with users (arrowd mainly) logging in by ssh, and I've had no complaints of ssh crashes 03:48:09 I also wonder why as a port maintainer you aren't on CURRENT as well, and just specifying the OS build versions needed with poudriere as build jails 03:48:31 That is why my FreeBSD KDE Desktop building folks do for their test runs of port builds 03:49:53 There was a CVE related to ssh recently though, something that was in the configuration mainly specific to Debian/Ubuntu. But I haven't looked for that Auth Type in the FreeBSD sshd_config yet 03:50:35 I think it was a "user after free" related bug, if this isn't patched for you yet, it could be someone crashing your sshd on purposes just for the lolz 04:06:42 I installed wifibox but how do I connect to a WiFi via KDE plasma now? I can't see any options 06:51:21 SponiX: it's a base problem and yes i am fully patched. it's been a problem since 15 was released 06:53:18 a jail would not deal with base sshd crashing 06:54:14 i had to just write a shell script to run on cron every minute to nake sure sshd is up 16:01:14 So coming from a rolling linux distro into the *bsds. How often is prudent to update on bsds? 16:14:56 I update packages daily 16:20:07 Running a `# pkg update´ daily is enough? I don't need to "update && upgrade"? 16:20:28 weekly 16:29:58 you need to run pkg upgrade, running update by itself is not usually required 16:30:10 and you only need to run it when new SA/EN are released, assuming you're on a release version 16:31:01 Sorry, SA/EN? 16:31:34 Security Advisory I am guessing. EN? 16:31:42 security advisories and errata notices: https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/ https://www.freebsd.org/security/notices/ 16:33:27 Ooh! Nice, thank you! 16:33:43 Uh, is there a mailing list? 16:33:46 if you use ports packages (for software that's not part of the base system) you also need to keep those up to date, which is a bit of a pain for various reason, but the easiest way is to use the periodic script that checks for insecure and updated packages, that should happen automatically as long as root's mail is being forwarded somewhere 16:34:39 https://lists.freebsd.org/subscription/freebsd-announce is the most useful list for that, it gets SA, EN, and announcements about new releases 16:35:03 as well as some other very low volume stuff like the quarterly status reports 16:36:41 Sounds exactly like what I want. Thank you kindly! 19:58:06 I have both an AMD EPYC and an AMD 5950x systems both running 15.0 Release. Why does the EPYC system report an IOMMU in dmesg but the 5950x does not? 20:07:15 Is it disabled in BIOS? 20:17:23 After thinking of all systemd-free operating systems i was familliar with based on their pros and cons i decided to main freebsd seriously for the first time :) 20:18:16 Because i cant find many systemd-free options in the linux land matching or surpassing gentoo quality level 20:28:19 that's one way to get rid of systemd 21:25:00 librecat, VoidLinux? 21:25:10 Devuan? 21:27:59 no, the kernel is different completely 21:28:15 so - no not linux 21:28:52 is it compatile - another discussion 23:40:08 is there a way to force a service to run in the background via service file? meaning, I have a binary that doesn't fork, so I need "service binary start" to automatically run it in the background. all I can think of is to write a shell script that runs /usr/local/bin/binary & 23:41:21 in openbsd one can use rc_bg=YES, but that doesn't seem to exist in freebsd 23:42:03 typically, I would think the common answer is you run it via an rc file with daemon(8) 23:49:56 i tried that and failed. i clearly haven't had to write a service file from scratch in a long time 23:53:43 is it a straight up executable, or is it like a python script or something? the latter can be more tedious to get right
