I have to finish my studies before I can get a job, only a matter of time

Hello there

I just got a new job

Congrats

Couldn't be much better

Working with Unix ?

Congrats btw

Good day One question about ecmp current status Any know working it on OS or not ?

The kernel ibuild as expected, with the option RADIX_MPATH however, with the same routes, this does not seem to work 192.168.45.10 10.21.0.36 UGH1 vtnet1 192.168.45.10 10.21.0.37 UGH1 vtnet1 192.168.45.10 10.21.0.38 UGH1 vtnet1

I may not check correctly, but I expect that 1) With three requests to the final address, it will come to three different destinations, since weights 1 1 1

Working with Unix ?

Yeah sure, I usually refuse to accept a job offer if I had to deal with something non-unixy.

Greetings and salutations

Hello, dszidi!

Anybody around that's familiar with libdevinfo by any chance?

Anybody around that's familiar with libdevinfo by any chance?

What is the problem with it?

Oh there is no problem with it. I'm trying to write a small program and I wasn't clear on how to use it exactly

I'm actually looking at the source code atm

It seems the general methodology to is in three steps

Create a snapshot of the device tree - do stuff - delete snapshot

It seems I got steps 1 and 3

The library exports some functions that allow to iterate over certain objects

I should also preface this that I am writing this as an exercise. I'm coming from web development so I'm used to talk to browsers and not system libraries

If you're wondering why I don't understand some seemingly basic things, there is your answer lol

All I want to do is print out a list of connected devices similar to lshal or devinfo command

I'm writing it in rust and have gotten the hang of the FFI interface so I can call the C functions from what I can gather

The Rust compiler is not shy about letting you know when you did something wrong on that side lol

isn't lspci Linux?

I thought FreeBSD's counterpart is pciconf

Ah I see. I'd actully prefer to use something in the base system so I can count on it being there on any system. That's kind of why I went for libdevinfo

I initially started with libhal but I heard that was being deprecated so devinfo is where I wound up

In any case, with libdevinfo, we can call devinfo_foreach_rman , devinfo_foreach_rman_resource , devinfo_foreach_device_child , devinfo_foreach_resource

They all take these custom structs as parameters

12 was released somewhat recently, hopefully I can get this little app done before 13 haha

I have the feeling that this is just a matter of getting the hang of how to talk with C libraries and how to figure out what they require.

I have absolute freebsd which is a great book but is not geared for developers. I have the how to write freebsd drivers book but that seems like a way more low level knowledge than what I need for this current task

Yeah that's the one I have

Thanks!

I figured out my last problem I think. The libdevinfo library makes use of a macro called DEVINFO_ROOT_DEVICE. Rust can't import C macros, so I have to implement a workaround. The workaround is to create a static library with an extern function that returns DEVINFO_ROOT_DEVICE. From there it will be easy to just call those functions and get what I need. I'll finally be able to parse the FreeBSD device tree in my Rust/GTK app :)

Yeah sure, I usually refuse to accept a job offer if I had to deal with something non-unixy.

I know that feeling ! I have to fight with windows at work ...

I've just updated pkges to latest. Touchpad and trackpoint not working on x230 😁👍🏻

hi, folks. what IRC-client do you recommend for freenode?

Xorg 1.20 is awesome 😉

irssi weechat

Xorg 1.20 is awesome 😉

is it xorg or xorg-server....

is it xorg or xorg-server....

xorg-server

xorg-server

what new features were introduced in 1.20?

I mentioned it only because it's broke what's already worked, not because of new features 😁 I believe it somehow related to new approach to hid devices in new ver of xorg-server.

irssi, weechat

If it's not freenode, then there must be another client?

seems freenode is the only alive network, isnt it?

Nah, there's a lot more, but FreeNode is the most sophisticated, for sure.

HackInt is pretty awesome, too, but doesn't have a dedicated FreeBSD channel

If you're looking for technical help, FN is the thing to go

If I would have to live with only one IRC network for the rest of my life, FreeNode, simple

usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/....is this a new port

I'm updating current today, I'll try the new xorg in the thinkpad then and report any news

im usin the xorg-1.20++ oredy...i x notice much

on 12stable

Good to know

A couple of days before I read someone had issues with a thinkpad and the new xorg

different specs have different issues....

build with DRMFIX flag

Thanks @aeifn . I'm using this guide to update and I'm kinda new in building things from source. Where do I have to add the flag in this case?

Have you seen https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244306 ?

Oh, I see. It's a flag for xorg, not the system update

Oh, I see. It's a flag for xorg, not the system update

yeah

the issue with mpv on mine is quite apparent.....usually get error msgs when playin clips....

about drm2

/usr/ports/x11/wdm # make ===> wdm-1.28_16 is marked as broken: unfetchable.

;(

Ok. Since xorg-server 1.20 moused must be enabled to use touchpad and trackpoint 😳

moused is normally enabled during installation on rc.conf.....t

There is a checkbox at installation when I remember correctly

Ok. Since xorg-server 1.20 moused must be enabled to use touchpad and trackpoint 😳

I had to enable it in previous versions too in order to add flags for scrolling with trackpoint + middle button

Hi

Hi everyone, previously I was on arch and wanted to move to freebsd but i have a question, will i lose all my config, theme, packages every i upgrade my freebsd? maybe someone here has an explanation about it?

So I don't need a clean install to upgrade?

no, I mean I want to replace my arch with freebsd, and if one day there is an update from freebsd, do I have to reinstall it (clean install) or is there a way like pacman -syu from arch linux to upgrade all package and kernel?

because freebsd is not a rolling release (please correct this if it's wrong)

in order to upgrade u need to use the release version....stable n current is not supported...normally most upgrades do not have issues...
