00:02:35 <deimosBSD> it was totally because i fat fingered the binary paty
00:02:38 <deimosBSD> it was totally because i fat fingered the binary path
01:01:14 <polarian> hi deimosBSD
01:01:20 <polarian> glad you figured it out :D
01:02:55 <deimosBSD> it turns out /usr/localbin/binary doesn't work ;)
02:27:50 <spaciouskarter78> 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
02:28:11 <spaciouskarter78> Realtek 8852BE Wi-Fi 6 (RTL8852BE) Is my wifi card
02:31:02 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: I dont remember any 802.11ax cards being supported
02:31:24 <polarian> even if they were supported, 802.11ax isnt within the ieee80211 stack
02:31:37 <polarian> so it would only be able to use 802.11ac
02:33:27 <polarian> the latest driver support was iwlwifi but thats intel, and rtwn is only for 802.11n/ac realtek cards
02:36:41 <spaciouskarter78> polarian https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/#wlan
02:38:24 <SponiX> riceandbeans: wow, as common as sshd is I would think it crashing  often for many folks would be something fixed quickly
02:38:39 <polarian> wow err
02:38:44 <polarian> they really did LinuxKPI a lot
02:39:07 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: is there anything under dmesg
02:39:12 <polarian> did you kldload if_rtw89
02:39:37 <polarian> it should automatically load
02:39:43 <polarian> but make sure
02:39:48 <polarian> and check for any errors within dmesg
02:40:12 <spaciouskarter78> polarian should I run the command named “dmesg”?
02:40:16 <polarian> oh wait I saw it
02:40:18 <polarian> nvm
02:40:20 <polarian> its because of missing firmware
02:40:22 <spaciouskarter78> As well as kldload?
02:40:24 <spaciouskarter78> Oh
02:40:28 <spaciouskarter78> How do I fix it?
02:40:32 <polarian> pkg install net/wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod
02:40:38 <polarian> and then reboot
02:40:44 <spaciouskarter78> Thanks a lot I’ll try that now and see if it works
02:41:52 <polarian> running fwget should also fetch it
02:41:59 <polarian> or so the man page says
02:42:06 <polarian> but installing the port would definitely work
02:43:59 <spaciouskarter78> polarian and for connecting to the wifi on kde what should I use? Networkmgr or wifimgr?
02:44:10 <polarian> those are Linuxisms
02:44:20 <polarian> wifi on freebsd is done via wpa_supplicant usually
02:44:29 <polarian> the freebsd handbook goes over it
02:44:53 <polarian> personally what I do is "ifconfig wlan0 scan" when you are looking for ssids
02:45:36 <polarian> then "wpa_passphrase <ssid>", then enter the passphrase, and then write it to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
02:45:58 <polarian> then you can "pkill -HUP wpa_supplicant" (as root, use doas/sudo otherwise) and it will reload the config
02:46:12 <polarian> I think there was a wifi gui being developed for GSOC but I dont know much about it
02:46:28 <polarian> thats how I do wifi, it works well, but I know it isn't very user friendly
02:46:47 <polarian> for the most part I avoid wifi though, and just use ethernet
02:47:19 <spaciouskarter78> Ssid is the name of the wifi?
02:47:59 <spaciouskarter78> Sorry I never interacted with networks at such a low level before
02:48:47 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: sorry yes ssid is the "wifi name"
02:49:03 <polarian> someone else might be able to provide a more elegant solution, or KDE settings might be able to handle it for you
02:49:22 <polarian> I dont use KDE though, I just i3 with xorg, and my setup is very minimalist
02:49:42 <polarian> 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
02:52:29 <spaciouskarter78> polarian the wifi card somehow got detected automatically
02:53:01 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: well considering this is new to 15.0 I dont expect it to be the most stable
02:53:09 <polarian> I stick to 802.11n cards for that reason
02:53:12 <polarian> they just work (mostly)
02:53:21 <polarian> plus I run an old laptop
02:53:55 <spaciouskarter78> I ran ifconfig wlan0 scan but it doesn’t return anything
02:57:24 <spaciouskarter78> I tried installing the port you mentioned let’s see what happens
02:57:27 <spaciouskarter78> Restarting rn
02:59:21 <spaciouskarter78> Nope no luck
03:03:50 <spaciouskarter78> polarian found the problem
03:04:07 <spaciouskarter78> The entire system crashes when I attempt to scan for wifi
03:04:26 <spaciouskarter78> I tried ifconfig wlan0 up scan and my pc crashed
03:26:03 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: by "crash" do you mean a panic?
03:26:24 <polarian> if you get get the logs I can relay it to the wifi nerds
03:26:25 <spaciouskarter78> it freezes up when i run the command and just restarts after making loud beep noises
03:26:39 <spaciouskarter78> what logs can i provide?
03:32:45 <spaciouskarter78> i just opened a bug report on bugzilla about this: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294429
07:26:33 <librecat> FreeBSD has handbook for free for quick setup, printed more detailed guides on amazon and even books detailing its internals. This is amazing
11:06:26 <spaciouskarter78> yep the documentation is amazing
11:08:11 <joepublic> How's your wifi?
11:12:48 <runxiyu> has anyone experienced niri crashing frequently?
11:47:14 <librecat> joepublic: i just usb tether a s4 mini running lineageos :D
12:43:34 <dmkaiser> Hi, how can I enable xf86 multimedia keys on freebsd? `xev` recognizes that something is being pressed but doesn't differnetiate between the keys
12:44:43 <dmkaiser> Not even all of the buttons generate an event
12:50:59 <dmkaiser> 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.
12:51:18 <dmkaiser> No matter which function key I press.
14:02:21 <Bushmaster> howdy folks, having some issue with not able to torify, anyone can take a look at this and shed some light on https://dpaste.com/6WNAFHLAX
14:16:07 <kevans> Bushmaster: looks like you need to install net/torsocks
14:17:14 <kevans> 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
14:17:15 <Bushmaster> hey kevans  thanks for returning
14:17:30 <Bushmaster> well i did pkg install torsocks and it did install it
14:17:58 <Bushmaster> but not sure why it is not letting me connected to other servers
14:18:47 <kevans> i know nothing beyond just inteerpreting the error you're getting
14:19:32 <Bushmaster> if you know how to resolve the issue, that would cool
14:55:30 <Bushmaster> kevans, i resolved it, it just needed torsocks
16:18:48 <joepublic> 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 https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/#wlan - is there anything special I need to do?
16:45:33 <lts> joepublic: you need to load the iwm8000Cfw firmware https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?iwm(4)
16:47:28 <joepublic> Thank you, on it
16:57:48 <librecat> kde wayland on nvidia is a big no
23:12:52 <polarian> runxiyu: I dont use niri, nor Wayland, but I keep having xorg crash afrer S3 sleep
23:12:56 <polarian> which wasn't happening before
23:13:09 <polarian> is S3 involved, or does it crash in use?
23:39:35 <runxiyu> polarian: crash in use
23:39:40 <polarian> hmm
23:39:40 <runxiyu> polarian: probably different
23:47:06 <polarian> runxiyu: yeah
23:47:47 <polarian> runxiyu: maybe try changing compositor
23:47:55 <polarian> see if its a wayland issue or a niri issue?
23:48:01 <polarian> and if its a niri issue, then you can report it upstream
23:48:08 <polarian> if its a wayland issue, then it needs to go to bugzilla
