hdconfigure_, For standards compliance there can only be one option and not multiple. Multiple options there is a linux-ism.

Hey all, chasing a speaker issue on my LG Gram (FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE, Meteor Lake-P, Realtek ALC256). Headphones worked but speakers didn't, so I fixed the pin associations via device.hints (hint.hdac.0.cad0.nid20.config="as=1 seq=0 device=Speaker" / nid33.config="as=1 seq=15 device=Headphones") — pcm0 now correctly shows Analog 2.0+HP/2.0 and the pin/mixer state looks right, but speakers are still dead silent even with confirmed data reaching /dev/dsp0.

Turns out there's a disabled _HID=10EC1308 device in devinfo -v — a Realtek RT1308 smart amp on its own I2C bus, separate from the ALC256. That's what actually drives the speakers, and it needs its own driver/firmware on Linux. Doesn't look like FreeBSD supports it at all.

Has anyone gotten an RT1308 (or similar smart-amp) laptop working here, or know of a workaround? Happy to share more diagnostics if useful. Thanks!

zi: no bother, I solved the issue. VLANs were set up correctly, just the debian cloud image I was using didn't request an IP....

currently i use drm-612-kmod + gpu-firmware amdgpu, i am not using xorg/wayland (just encoding), -> hdmi tv and its tiny, can i use at least 720p or just mode 80 ?

people is there a good desktop-based variant of the fbsd system?

(since the official stock image doesn't include a plug-n-play desktop environment)

quickrr: seems like fonts for vt are in pixels and not in points, so not dpi aware, you can set a bigger font in loader.conf via screen.font

scottpedia: ghostBSD is a distro with a focus on an desktop experience

psycorama: okay what desktop environment does it use?

scottpedia: what is your problem with installing some desktop environment from the repos?

nimaje: i don't know how to (not yet)

it seems like Mate and xfce are supported

okay. I am more or less a mate user

there's documentation for that docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/desktop

okay alright

thx for the top psycorama

have a nice day :)

tip*

nimaje: thanks but no luck with screen.font, kern.vt.fb.modes.HDMI-A-1="1280x720" are usable now

stupid question, do you have an opinion of issuing 50 SSL certificates vs issuing 1 certificate with 50 SAN ?

(Let's Encrypt)

if a single service is going to be consuming them, then a single cert with SAN entries is the sane approach

and most software these days supports SAN data

mage: can you use a wildcart certificate? Or are these all different domain names?

Anyone know if I can do a pkg search on the "Latest" repo when I am currently subscribed to the "Quarterly" one? Hopefully without having to switch to Latest? I wanted to look at version differents in ports/packages

there's always freshports

ok so port epoch is the number after the comma. Is the number after the _, the revision?

or do I have that reversed?

this is correct

pertho: pkg search --repository <repo> ?

you have to setup a new repo definition for it, and that may not work if you have to disable that configuration because you want to stay on quarterly

pkg-search has to download the catalog and whatnot, afair

freshports is atrocious to navigate

2000 called.. it wants its multi tables website back :D

at least the site isn't 1024x768 :P

(sorry, dvl! :D )

it should work for disabled repos "Packages will be searched from the named repositories only, irrespective of the configured “enabled” status from repo.conf." but yeah, pkg had some bugs with the --repository for some commands, not sure if they all are fixed, but I throught so

ahh, fair enough

yeah I get that it's early days for pkg.. but what a giant leap over the old freebsd-update

pertho: I'm good with databases and getting the stuff onto the webpage. Style, not so good. Others have offered to assist, but nothing has gone to prod yet.

dvl: yeah my html skill is stuck in 1998 anyway.. CSS is some kind of black magic :D

needs comic sans.. like the OpenBSD sites :D

dvl: I hope it's got caching in front of it and not doing a shedload of SELECT statements on every page load

pertho: It has been caching to disk for years.

static site generation for the win! :)

pertho: news.freshports.org/category/caching

pertho: first post there on that is 2006

hmm.. news.freshports.org took a while to load. Do you have issues with AI scraper bots smashing it?

could just be my connection

(at $day_job I have to find all kinds of weird and wonderful ways of blocking bots which take down our websites)

Hi, I am getting a lot of segfault in get_locale while using mutt. Sometimes also with tmux. Does anyone have an idea what can cause that? I am using 15.2 on a raspberry pi 3.

Also occurs with vim.

doublemetres: check /etc/login.conf defaults? Maybe they need raising?

What am I looking after ?

15.2? I don't think that's out yet?

15.1 it is.

pertho: scrapers all the time.

doublemetres: without a stack trace or more info, can only speculate what the issue is. If mutt and vim are erroring, maybe some library file corruption somewhere?

pertho: hastebin.com/share/axolepibik.ruby

doublemetres: try reinstalling FreeBSD-clibs-15.1p2 and FreeBSD-ncurses-lib-15.1 and maybe even gettext-runtime and see if that fixes vim?

problem might be in FreeBSD-ncurses-lib-15.1 .. mutt and vim probably use that library? (ldd $(which mutt) would tell you)

pertho: I guess "libncursesw.so.9 => /lib/libncursesw.so.9 (0x7b9b0ba50000)" seems to indicate it uses the system one .

Installed ncurses via pkg did not solve the issue.

doublemetres: oh, this sounds familiar
