it was totally because i fat fingered the binary paty

it was totally because i fat fingered the binary path

hi deimosBSD

glad you figured it out :D

it turns out /usr/localbin/binary doesn't work ;)

FreeBSD 15 hardware supported wifi drivers list says that my wlan card is supported by the kernel but when I installed FreeBSD the wifi didn’t work

Realtek 8852BE Wi-Fi 6 (RTL8852BE) Is my wifi card

spaciouskarter78: I dont remember any 802.11ax cards being supported

even if they were supported, 802.11ax isnt within the ieee80211 stack

so it would only be able to use 802.11ac

the latest driver support was iwlwifi but thats intel, and rtwn is only for 802.11n/ac realtek cards

polarian freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/#wlan

riceandbeans: wow, as common as sshd is I would think it crashing often for many folks would be something fixed quickly

wow err

they really did LinuxKPI a lot

spaciouskarter78: is there anything under dmesg

did you kldload if_rtw89

it should automatically load

but make sure

and check for any errors within dmesg

polarian should I run the command named “dmesg”?

oh wait I saw it

nvm

its because of missing firmware

As well as kldload?

Oh

How do I fix it?

pkg install net/wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod

and then reboot

Thanks a lot I’ll try that now and see if it works

running fwget should also fetch it

or so the man page says

but installing the port would definitely work

polarian and for connecting to the wifi on kde what should I use? Networkmgr or wifimgr?

those are Linuxisms

wifi on freebsd is done via wpa_supplicant usually

the freebsd handbook goes over it

personally what I do is "ifconfig wlan0 scan" when you are looking for ssids

then "wpa_passphrase <ssid>", then enter the passphrase, and then write it to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

then you can "pkill -HUP wpa_supplicant" (as root, use doas/sudo otherwise) and it will reload the config

I think there was a wifi gui being developed for GSOC but I dont know much about it

thats how I do wifi, it works well, but I know it isn't very user friendly

for the most part I avoid wifi though, and just use ethernet

Ssid is the name of the wifi?

Sorry I never interacted with networks at such a low level before

spaciouskarter78: sorry yes ssid is the "wifi name"

someone else might be able to provide a more elegant solution, or KDE settings might be able to handle it for you

I dont use KDE though, I just i3 with xorg, and my setup is very minimalist

so I urge you to try connecting through KDE first, see if its GUI can do it all for you, otherwise what I explained above works but is not user friendly

polarian the wifi card somehow got detected automatically

spaciouskarter78: well considering this is new to 15.0 I dont expect it to be the most stable

I stick to 802.11n cards for that reason

they just work (mostly)

plus I run an old laptop

I ran ifconfig wlan0 scan but it doesn’t return anything

I tried installing the port you mentioned let’s see what happens

Restarting rn

Nope no luck

polarian found the problem

The entire system crashes when I attempt to scan for wifi

I tried ifconfig wlan0 up scan and my pc crashed

spaciouskarter78: by "crash" do you mean a panic?

if you get get the logs I can relay it to the wifi nerds

it freezes up when i run the command and just restarts after making loud beep noises

what logs can i provide?

i just opened a bug report on bugzilla about this: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294429

FreeBSD has handbook for free for quick setup, printed more detailed guides on amazon and even books detailing its internals. This is amazing

yep the documentation is amazing

How's your wifi?

has anyone experienced niri crashing frequently?

joepublic: i just usb tether a s4 mini running lineageos :D

Hi, how can I enable xf86 multimedia keys on freebsd? `xev` recognizes that something is being pressed but doesn't differnetiate between the keys

Not even all of the buttons generate an event

Ah, the xev window didn't have focus. The keys now generate an event but they all have the same keycode and is reported as XF86PowerOff.

No matter which function key I press.

howdy folks, having some issue with not able to torify, anyone can take a look at this and shed some light on dpaste.com/6WNAFHLAX

Bushmaster: looks like you need to install net/torsocks

the dependencies of torsocks seems really light, not sure why the tor port doesn't just slap a RUN_DEPENDS on it for this functionality

hey kevans thanks for returning

well i did pkg install torsocks and it did install it

but not sure why it is not letting me connected to other servers

i know nothing beyond just inteerpreting the error you're getting

if you know how to resolve the issue, that would cool

kevans, i resolved it, it just needed torsocks

The installer does not see my Intel dual band wireless AC 8260 wifi card in my laptop, even though it's on the list at freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/#wlan - is there anything special I need to do?

joepublic: you need to load the iwm8000Cfw firmware man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?iwm(4)

Thank you, on it

kde wayland on nvidia is a big no

runxiyu: I dont use niri, nor Wayland, but I keep having xorg crash afrer S3 sleep

which wasn't happening before

is S3 involved, or does it crash in use?

polarian: crash in use

hmm

polarian: probably different

runxiyu: yeah

runxiyu: maybe try changing compositor

see if its a wayland issue or a niri issue?

and if its a niri issue, then you can report it upstream

if its a wayland issue, then it needs to go to bugzilla
