In /etc/ssl/certs , I cannot create a new file with cat:

# cat self.crt self.key > self.pem

sh: cannot create self.pem: Permission denied

Even though I can open, edit, and save self.pem in a text editor, also as root. Why?

ant-x, Works for me. Is self.pem actually a symlink to some place that is truly not writable?

No, it is cat-related: I have done it by hand.

No symlinks.

As I said, I can create self.pem with ``vi self.pem`` or with ``touch self.pem'' (as root).

csh has a shell flag that prevents it overwriting files with > redirection. Is that set for you?

I use sh.

doas echo test > self.pem # fails, too.

set -o | grep clobber

I am doing that under /etc/ssl/certs (perhaps it matters).

doas will not have any effect on a > redirection.

Ooop!

What does "set -o | grep clobber" show?

Unless I do something like eval?

You said you were already root so there is no need for doas.

That explains it. This works: doas sh -c "echo test > self.pem"

However if you want to use doas to elevate a non-root process then: doas sh -c "echo foo > foo.txt"

Jinx!

I said that to simplify things. I use doas to assume root. Beg pardon!@

Yep. Thanks.

That'll teach me to report things literally as they are.

I still think you must have the shell's noclobber option set.

No, I don't (just checked). I have never heard of this options.

I have succeeded setting domain fronting with sslh+mtg+thttpd+stunnel , but I need assistance in testing whether all three points are satisfied: <github.com/9seconds/mtg/wiki/Choosi…ng#1-why-this-matters-in-30-seconds> .

OK, #2 can be excluded.

does anyone have IPv6 packets randomly stop being routed?

on FreeBSD 15.0

(release)

for the second time in maybe 3 months, the route seems to have been lost for IPv6 completely randomly

will see if it happens again

polarian: using some realtek nic?

15.1-rc2 is here download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/15.1

Hrmf, drm-612-kmod is not being nice to me. Back to 6.6. :-/

does anyone here run Linux steam on FreeBSD?

would be nice if Sony just contributed all the device drivers and such and opened up their PS5 OS. It's based on FreeBSD right?

would be nice heh

haha

leah2: yes

I believe so

cant quite remember

polarian: iirc there's a bug with upstream drivers and checksumming. see github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/bl…ain/net/realtek-re-kmod/pkg-message

hello! i'm trying to install a win program on freebsd but i get a message:

wine: could not load ntdll.so: Shared object "libprocstat.so.1" not found, required by "ntdll.so"

any ideas how can i get this .so.1. .. ?

hmmmm what program

did you look it up on winedb?

is that still a thing?

oh, solstis you dont have 32 bit stuff installed

bsdinstall lib32 #this command should get those libraries installed

unless it's more proper to use pkg these days?

zsh: command not found: bsdinstall

would ' pkg install wine32 ' install these 32bit stuff ?

hmm no it doesnt work.. i guess i did this command on linux maybe

'winetricks' ?

hmmmm

i'll look into it one sec

ok, thx a lot

solstis: i *think* you would want to do "pkg install FreeBSD-lib32" BUT it might not work

only if you are on (Tech Preview"

paste.cachyos.org/p/2433f31.txt here is some instructions on how to do it if it fails

that would be FreeBSD-set-lib32, not FreeBSD-lib32 which doesn't exist

ooh thanks

my googling failed me

thanks for the help guys! i will try the thing from the website link

:-( i'm in tis channel because i think it should work the same..

kg: No packages available to install matching 'FreeBSD-set-lib32' have been found in the repositories

ohhhhh you probably aren't able to use that package method

you'll have to fetch and extract

rdr: are you sure that's the right method for GhostBSD? (i don't know anything about this downstream, but randomly extracting things into it may cause issues, i suppose)

hmmmm i'm not certain but it is just FreeBSD which is preconfigured

solstis: can you give us the output of `uname -m` and `uname -r`

uname -m

amd64

uname -r

15.0-RELEASE-p8

oh okay, so it looks pretty vanilla, but ivy is right again, you'd probably want to download from ghostbsd's servers because who knows what they've modified :O

ok will try that, thank you very much, rdr, ivy !

tomorrow i will continue the attempts (now it's late here.., time for bed)

yeah that's the trouble with using anything that isn't the main release

sometimes the solution is slightly different

i wanted to put freebsd on my hardware but was intimidated that i would be able to set it up correctly..

so i settled for some compromise

like many linux distros are based on another distro, but change the /etc/os-release file so some commands fail lol

*that i would NOT be able

yeah it's intimidating

solstis: Have a little faith in yourself :D

but i got it mostly working :)

:-D

solstis: fwiw, if ghostbsd has some sort of mailing list / support forum, you could just ask them the right way to install 32-bit libraries

good idea.. will try that

wine: could not load ntdll.so: Shared object "libprocstat.so.1" not found, required by "ntdll.so"

oops. sorry (the paste was for another channel)

in the ghostbsd channel on this network they're like.. 18 ppl. i will leave the inquiry for tomorrow- i feel very sleepy

have a good day (evening?) thanks again for the assistance and advice
