dnp1, my ISP would disconnect me after 24 hours, then I had a ppp chat script that would demon-dial 'til I was connected again.

Then I got cable internet. . . tossed an extra ISA 10Mbit NIC in there and changed a couple things in rc.conf and badda-bing.

where do i find the source to build a kernel from?

glenny2: /usr/src

rtprio: is it pre-installed?

Optinally

i am following this to get the source: docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#git

am i doing this right?

thats the place :)

just be mindful of the branch that you checkout and make sure its the right one glenny2

nesta: i need the 15.1 branch, correct?

yah that is probably the one you want

unless you specifically want to run a 14.x system

glenny2: something like git clone --branch releng/15.1 git.freebsd.org/src.git /usr/src should do the trick

i sent a message to the mods asking why my post wasn't approved and i've yet to hear anything back :( i don't know if i should try making another post or waiting. i'm confused. i'm told to download source and apply a patch but i have no idea how to apply a patch or even know if the patch will even affect my issue

even more frustrating is that i just downloaded and started using this OS maybe two weeks ago? apart from some of the similarities to linux, i am completely ignorant of this OS.

glenny2: what is your issue?

you're trying to update the system? or compile the OS? :|

rdr: no audio from speakers.

ohhhhh

ahh

hmm... maybe your audio card is not supported?

yeah, it's been an issue i've talked about here for awhile

or maybe you have to get a specific driver?

the mic input works. the output audio doesn't.

hmm... maybe then it is just a matter of changing OSS to use the right output?

do you have a desktop installed?

tried all of that

yes, i am using xfce

glenny2: cat /dev/sndstat

sig`: it lists three devices Realtek ALC257 for both input and output and Intel Jasper Lake for HDMI audio output

i can post the output of sysctl dev.hdaa it will list the speaker as [DISABLED]

volume is also turned up in mixer

glenny2: what is your actual sysctl dev.hdaa

sounds like it can easily be fixed once we see the actual nid #

sig`: termbin.com/ypo9

sorry just saw this

i have tried adding the device in device.hints using nid and seq etc. maybe i had the wrong settings?

glenny2: /boot/device.hints - hint.hdaa.0.nid20.config="as=1 seq=15"

glenny2: your internal speaker (nid20) is disabled because it's in its own association group (as=2), separate from your working headphones. add this to /boot/device.hints:

I'm actually curious if this works for you.

sig`: no audio

did you reboot

sig`: yes

didn't think you needed to reboot to test those configs

yes hints only reads on boot

device.hints is only read at boot that is

disabled? can you enable it

mixer volume wont matter if it's disabled

glenny2: can you paste the sysctl dev.hdaa

correct, but I distinctly recall there being a way to reconfigure the hdaa stuff in sysctl

sig`: the link i posted earlier is the output from that command

man snd_hda says `dev.hdaa.%d.config Run-time equivalent of the hint.hdaa.%d.config tunable.`

LXGHTNXNG: tru for reconfig but only works on nids that were not alreadyy disabled to start.

glenny2: that is unchanged

nid20 still shows as=2 seq=0

sig`: ok, let me do a new output

sig`: termbin.com/8lin

so it is now grouped and enabled with headphones nid33

it doesn't say [DISABLED] which is new

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp0.0

i'm not trying to get audio from my headphones. i'm trying to get audio from my speakers

no sound from speakers

that should test that speaker

nid20 is the speaker not the headphones

did you run cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp0.0 ?

yes

dsp0.0 doesn't exist. dsp0 does. i sent it to /dev/dsp0

I had this exact deal and this got me through it

try that

dsp0

i did

no audio

dang

sig`: oh, headphone output doesn't work either. if the idea was to redirect output from there to the speaker, that wasn't going to work to begin with

does mixer show volum and pcm

as unmuted

mixer -a shows no muted devices

you could check cat /dev/sndstat to make sure the pcm is default and match /dev/dsp0

yeah no idea man

sig`: i appreciate you trying

is this a laptop or pc?

sig`: it is a laptop. it is a Lenovo Ideapad 1i

can you pastbin cat /dev/sndstat

again?

nothing has changed

well since it took

we never saw the sndstat

i'll just post it here: pcm0: <Realtek ALC257 (Analog 4ch/2.0)> (play/rec) default pcm1: <Realtek ALC257 (Right Analog Mic)> (rec) pcm2: <Intel Jasper Lake (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play) No devices installed from userspace.

something isn't right because nid20's output sill shows mute=1 step=0 size=0 offset=0...

it is hardware muted which is separate from oss mixer

you coul d try 'mixer pcm 100'

mixer vol 100 / mixer speaker 100

other than reasigning I have no clue

yep :(

that was the wall i ran into

wierd that is is hardware muted but mixer shows unmuted

i decided to make a new post on the forums since i thought my previous post wasn't approved. it turns out it was approved and now i can't delete the new duplicate post :(

Is there a simple vanilla freebsd version of pfBlockerNG? I've been using pfsense for a while but am tired of netgate so have been replicating when I need with a vanilla install. I can relatively easily replicate pulling spamhaus etc and loading into pf/unbound but wanted to check someone hasn't already solved this

sbr: you're aware of #opnsense ?

Let's see if phabricator decides to work for me today.

Gedge: ya but thats not very vanilla freebsd

any advice for how to set up a few jails with their own private network? they're vnet fwiw. i got the config to the point where i can create epair interfaces for each of them and give them ips, so i just give them a range in private ip space like 192.168.2.0/24 and as long as they all have that network configured for their nif it's enough?

other than the bridge, yes kerneldove thats all you need

ok ty. if i gave a few jails to friends, what would prevent them from changing the nif to some other private network range and maybe colliding with another private range already used for other jails?

is that where i gotta use vlans or is there another solution?

3 options at least

1. dont give them root

2. wrap the internal jail with an outer jail that holds the network config so it can't be changed

3. I think there's some mac / acl stuff for this, I need to look it up

aah yes man.freebsd.org/mac_ipacl

oh wow that's nice, tyvm!

but personally I would just tell my friends not to do that and they would respect that ;-)

or immediately try it to see what happens ofc

well what i wanna do is create a throwaway vps jail host then give out jails to 'friends' that are really just online pieces of sht and hope they try to hack me so i can test my ids

could do jails inside vm's for real PoS's if you don't mind the slight overhead

I'm looking at an upgrade which failed due to /var ending up full at in inauspicious time.

well part of this exercise is to see how hardened i can make jails on their own, and then once that's all done use vm encapsulation on top of that where it makes sense

I got past the kernel upgrade step, but I think userland is mostly non-upgraded.

I'm thinking I should restart the upgrade instructions from `freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.1-RELEASE` and hopefully everything should recover?

geometry: yup. if you have zfs, a boot environment is a good thing at this time.

you can also use `freebsd-update IDS ..` which will tell you exactly what's not up to date

Not available in this case.

dch i'm looking at security.mac.ipacl.rules, is there any way to append rules to it so i don't have to assign it to 1 super giant long string with all rules for all jails?

dch: I would almost prefer to have it simply plow over everything, except /etc for which I'm pretty sure it hasn't yet done the merging.
