ah ok :) but it is still 1 week before final release ;) so some bugs or issues may be fixed asasp

I think that some very minor abi breakage was involved in this release, effectively breaking drm-fbsd12.0-kmod. If I recall correctly, I had to recompile openjdk8 too: it was throwing bad syscalls

Hello guys. FreeBSD doesn't support geforce 210 graphic card?

Hi, https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/howto-setup-xorg-with-nvidias-driver.52311/post-468530 your case?

Hello guys. FreeBSD doesn't support geforce 210 graphic card?

yes you have to install nvidia-driver-340 and it should work. this driver (v340) is the last to support the geforce 210 afaik

Thanks guys.

Hi. How can i mount a zfs root to /mnt and chroot to it?

Sorry if my question sounds idiotic.

Hi guys. I installed i3 on my FreeBSD. My bar does not show my MEMORY usage. How can I solve it?

Thx

I3 default value doesn’t work on freebsd, you should do it in another script

i should write external script and change i3ar command in my config file?

Yeah

Yeah

Ok thanks.

I use conky as my bar on i3

Hi guys. How can i change mirrors? Which file should I edit?

Hi guys. How can i change mirrors? Which file should I edit?

Not sure, if I understand you correctly, but you cannot change existing (zfs-)mirrors much. try 'man zpool'.

no i don't use zfs. i use ufs file system. but i mean download mirrors, for packages.

Ah ok. In that case: use "pkg -vv" => this lists your pkg paths.

can i disable default mirror? i mean /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.

Sure, just replace "enabled: yes" with "enabled: no". This freezes your system update mechanism, though...

why?

why?

Because the system believes, you do not want to receive any updates from the server specified under "url" in the same file.

so i don't disable it. just create this? /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

I do not use this suggested file, so I can't tell. But I remember to have read sth like that should work as well.

+++ Topic: zfs system replication (migration to new hardware) +++

I did more research. My latest strategy for accomplishing a cloned, installed system is this:

Strategy for creating a replicated server with zfs send/receive via ssh and nfs Environment: 2 machines: system_A & system_B 2 IP-adresses: 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2 2 root-on-zfs-pools: zpool_A & zpool_B1 (zpool_B1 newer & larger & to be a zfs clone of zpool_A), zpool_B2 (backup pool in system_B, e.g. a single disk or another zfs-mirror) Task description: Replicating a full fs tree with all fs from old zpool_A on system_A to new zpool_B with all inherited mountpoints and mounts to the same locations. Pre-/post-task command zfs list -o name,mountpoint should deliver the same output. 1. install a fresh copy of freebsd on system_B (root-on-zfs on zpool_B1 create <mainuser>) 2. use shell on system_A as 'root': <ssh root@192.168.1.2> 3. mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1.2:/mnt/zpool_B2 /mnt 3. zfs snapshot -R zpool_A@system_A_recursive_snapshot 4. zfs send -R zpool_A@system_A_recursive_snapshot > /mnt/migration.zfs 5. get back to system_B: login as 'root' 6. zfs receive -F < /zpool_B2/migration.zfs 7. reboot system_B: login as 'mainuser'

Can anyone confirm pls, if step 6 is working? Many thx. 😊

Note: I added a 2nd pool (single HDD or other zfs-mirror) in system_B and went via an intermediate zfs-archive-file.

Did someone say old Thinkpad and old GTR?

GT-R 😋

I installed freebsd with an educational video on YouTube, and then whatever he did, he ended up saying, "Reboot, I did it, and then he gave it to the rover."

Just read Handbook.

Wayland?

I dunno, never tried Wayland. X works perfect in my machine

Wayland works better than xorg

Wayland + gnome runs smooth on Fedora

arcan and wayland

Xorg is still alive, 25 Aug. 17:45 xorg-server-1.20.9.tar.bz2 9 Okt. 00:32 xcb-proto-1.14.1.tar.xz

Wayland works better than xorg

But, wayland is not a choice yet in FreeBSD, while booting Gnome-3.38. :|

I'm using Gnome 3.38 in FreeBSD. But, no Wayland session. Besides, svg icons of buttons are corrupted, which needed some change in icon theme to resolve.

freebsd-update?

Is there any details how to create jail with centos binaries?

freebsd-update?

freebsd-update ok, but how run: freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE in unattended mode ? on multible (batch) boxes ? I don't think it can be put in an ansible job.

--not-running-from-cron -- Run without a tty, for use by automated tools

check help )

or man

whatever

does it care about also of merging files ? and don't ask for questions I presume :) I have to look at it.

thanks :)

I thought this flag serve only to the fetch not for upgrading :) I have to chek it better :)

and now :) ?

I think it hangs in an ansible jobs for example.
