the above is the precise situation

i915kms.ko

needed to reboot again, because baloo_file_extractor reached approx. 10GB(!) of RAM usage after approx. 4h of uptime

before reboot, I noticed the 'responsiveness' of the system was going steadily down, even while typing in other TG-channels

what I have also not mentioned before: I am a big fan of 'stock settings' - I just use the packages in exactly that configuration which they were meant to be. I think it is important to understand the design philosophie of a product / module first, before to mess around with it. And then, I guess, I were too lazy for doing so.

during installation I found: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-use-the-old-or-the-new-i915kms-driver-for-intel-integrated-graphics-with-xorg.66732/

from there, I extracted the following concise information:

The numbering in the table below shows the Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 family of processors, including it's mobile and desktop parts: 2xxx Sandy Bridge (i915kms.ko in base) 3xxx Ivy Bridge (i915kms.ko in base) 4xxx Haswell (i915kms.ko in base) 5xxx Broadwell (i915kms.ko from ports graphics/drm-next-kmod) 6xxx Skylake (i915kms.ko from ports graphics/drm-next-kmod) 7xxx Kaby Lake (i915kms.ko from ports graphics/drm-next-kmod)

This looked pretty straight forward to me

As I pointed in my postings today - meanwhile, I suspect baloo_file_extractor to create the problem

sometimes, it seems to fail

since reactivation, I had to restart my workstation twice today - baloo_file_extractor consuming 10GB(!) of RAM on a 3TB zfs-mirror with approx. 0,5 Mio. files

It seems, baloo_file_extractor has no sound default settings, or got distracted/misconfigured due to user-ignorance (while I have to state again not even having tried to tweak its basic functionality)

currently, there are only 5 programs running: system monitor, dolphin, kate, telegram and spectacle - consuming 30,2 of 31,9GiB of system RAM. I think this is out of sync and causes the troubles with darkening windows and disappearing menues.

Hello

I'm going to have Thinkpad x270

I am thinking about FreeBSD, but.... I'm afraid of the differences in repository compared to Linux.

Like...right now I just pacman most of the things.

But I have heard that FreeBSD runs great on ThinkPads so I would like to test it.

lol its like apt but better

it has many packages

you just type in pkg install <package name>

Ok.

swap is working. Since installation I've been noticing its automatic usage, once you start a program that doesn't seem too big for the OS to fit into available System RAM. I observed this in conjunction with VMs: if one is runnig and grows swap will work flawlessly, if one needed to be started, but would exceed physical RAM the system-startup of that VM slows down and finally come to a halt with error message. I do not have configured any zfs-tweaks in loader.conf

Hi, anyone use wireguard?

Tor here

But not wireguard

Hey

Anyone here

I need help regarding resolution

I am not able to change it

I am not able to change it

Fixed 😅

Need help again

Anyone up ?

What's the matter?

Alsactl no sound cards found

I have tried loading snd_hda / snd_driver

If you've checked your card is an intel one then look for pulseaudio installed on the system. That is usually a pain

Installed

Also, take a look at the doc pages from FBSD https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/sound-setup.html

Actually i also have sound working

But alsactl store says, no soundcard found

I'd remove pulseaudio if it's not mandatory for your purposes

I am using gnome3 btw

And i am new to bsd

Mmm I have no experience with gnome whatsoever

Pulseaudio? Wtf isn't that a Systemd thing? I think sndio should be OK as an alsa proxy

Pulseaudio? Wtf isn't that a Systemd thing? I think sndio should be OK as an alsa proxy

Or use OSS

Pulseaudio? Wtf isn't that a Systemd thing? I think sndio should be OK as an alsa proxy

It basically IS a systemd thing as it's written by Lennart Poettering.

And that being said, pulseaudio has had a lot of weird behaviour in the past, but it's really gotten way better...

I hate him

I hate him

I can't say I love him

That's true, still its against the Unix philosophy

But is it, really?

Of course

The unix philosophy is 'Do one thing and do it right'

Well seriously, pulseaudio is a life-saver these days

And this is systemd

I used to hate it with a passion when it came along, too

Yeah systemd is a bit crazy, but also, I currently run a computer with systemd and it really works flawlessly

What about OSS / sndio

Nothing wrong with that

Yeah systemd is a bit crazy, but also, I currently run a computer with systemd and it really works flawlessly

Yea me too, all of my machines, except my server that runs freebsd with bsdinit

Yeah I recently became a fan of NixOS

I don't like nixos because it abandoned the FSH Standard

Yup it did, in a brutal way. And believe me NixOS works ultra painlessly on my workstation.

Mhhh OK But I just can't imagine using a *nix system without FSH I just really like that you separate everything after its file type/use case I really hate the principle of putting a whole program in a single directory That reminds me of windows

I'm too late to the party here haha. Yep, I didn't mean to install it but to search for it in order to check if it was installed by another application which in my experience is what causes alsa to stop working by default

Oh OK, maybe you installed GNOME?

just check if the package pulseaudio Is installed

The guy asking for sound support earlier this afternoon was using gnome yes

Gnome depends on pulseaudio 😂😂

I guess it can be disabled or patched out.

what could be the mistake?
