runit-faster is an init/RC replacement for FreeBSD.

Probably complete, with some tweaking I managed to get to the desktop in DFBSD. Needs love…

Misses a lot of services…

yes. runit is a supervisor. runit-faster init with pid 1

i need help with delay_pools on squid 4.8_1 FreeBSD 12, come back to squid 3.5.8 isn’t a option for me, delay_pools seem doesn’t work on squid 4.x versions

nop it’s not a dejavuu, i just a duplicate the same question just in case someone who could help me to be in attention

does anyone know about some bug with delay pools on squid 4.8_1 freebsd 12?

You asked this some time ago in the CBSD chat group, too, right?

Just curious.

Runit as a addon to rc.d, not replacement for init right?

yes. It's an awesome stack. All I want to do is execute a program and restart it if it dies. I don't need something as complex as systemd for that job, no.

Integration with rc.d is absolutely trivial. You literally just copy/paste 3 lines from the post install text that gets displayed after "pkg install runit" and define 2 scripts that start your services. It's that trivial, really.

The stuff I start there literally is 2 3-liners.

No argument parsing, no need to take care of PID-files, nothing.

The concept of runit is something I can explain to you in two sentences and you'll have understood it and *WILL* be able to use it.

It's so dead simple that I'm crapping bats.

Too bad there are still services that can only daemonize.

That's a critical bug in the daemon.

And still something I can work around in 10 lines of bash.

Not being able to run something in foreground is an extremely critical design flaw. Fix your program.

Like they are "mine".

Like they are "mine".

Did you file a bug report?

Also, anything I can do when this here hangs?

For syslogd for example? I guess runit manages that one somehow...

ok

Yes I'm trying with a current snapshot because installation from 12-RELEASE fails on my laptop

Will try again with a 12 .img first then

Could have been because I tried the mini memstick img

Let me see

:-)

the last time i tried with the mini...i had issue...but that was about 2 yrs ago....

That's what I get on 12

RELEASE

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.0/FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img

When hitting return exactly here

Yes tried a couple of times

Mind if I PM you?

You asked this some time ago in the CBSD chat group, too, right?

No, just here, twice!

Just curious.

I can’t find a good answer, not in google, not in irc, not telegram groups i think it’s a bug not reported, thanks for ask.

have u tried the freebsd forum....if there's none there....u can create one....

no answer about it on freebsd forum, maybe it’s a good idea to open a new thread with that problem, thanks

on freebsd_ru someone recommends me to check in debug mode, i will probe that on monday

thanks i will

thanks to you @Corben999 and 8mr by your support

hehehehe you’re rigth 😄anyway we’re here and we can share our knowledges between us

by the way i’m cuban please sorry my english

hehehehe well we are united on FreeBSD, even when we speak bad english we can help us hehehehehe

next week i’ll be back with my solution or my new troubles

@Corben999 have a good time

No, just here, twice!

Gotcha, was just curious if this has anything to do with CBSD, thanks for clarifying, I just want to learn things. Hope that didn't sound offending to you.

😊

how much ram hv u got on your laptop

I think what I'm running into there is an issue with an old bios version. It's an old Thinkpad X220, I think it does support EFI, yes, but I never actually used EFI on a daily basis.

from my experience gpt+efi work well

@netzverweigerer I agree with 8mr, gpt + efi works without problem. you might have a 32bit efi system. that works too but with some minor tweaks. another problem one might face is when freebsd installer do not copy efi files in efi partition. happens with me in every installation. so after every installation, i had to copy efi files from freebsd installation disk to efi partition. that works without problem when you have only freebsd installed in whole system. multibooting is a difficult to configure from freebsd. so its preferable to have a system installed and then you install freebsd as a second os. 🙂

@Corben999 yes. i got to know that after my first installation. there were many files boot1.efi, boot2.efi... i was confused which one to choose so i installed freebsd in whole system once and noted down which files were being copied in efi-partition for efi booting. next time at multibooting, i copied those files and added entries using efibootmgr from linux. i was a lesson for me 🙂

I actually have another Thinkpad with Coreboot

That would be my next best try

What is FreeBSD equivalent of man command?

what wrong with man?

It's not available on a proprietary os that is running on top of FreeBSD

that's bad i you're haven't normal freebsd installation you may look man at https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's actually funny how well and fluently this works

Hi JCV and thanks for the friendly reply.

Upper screenshot is my work notebook btw, I had to feed my FreeBSD addiction at work

Hence running a tiny VM with FreeBSD that I run noVNC on (VNC via HTML5 and Websockets in a webbrowser) with a bit of NATting and port forwarding magic.

It's super super nice and a lot of fun to use. I'm really surprised how fast moving windows is.

And the best thing is you can restart your browser and the desktop stuff on the FreeBSD VM remains running

Hi JCV and thanks for the friendly reply.

MacOS on your notebook?

Yeah it's one of these hipster 2019 MBP Retina blingbling things for more than 2k €

It's my work machine so to say

It's my work machine so to say

wow! i’m using mid 2010 i can see you’re using docker

I have 3 X220's at home but they're slowly but surely falling apart, hence I'm using my beloved good old late 2012 retina MBP at home as a desktop, too. I'm unsure if I would recommend doing that, I've always preferred FreeBSD as a desktop when doing actual work.
