Another way would have been simply spawning a new shell instead of rebooting.

I know that csh and sh are two separate things.

And I dont want source csh into sh or vice-versa.

Thank you @xsuuu

Do I have to follow a specific partition layout for RootOnZFS to support boot environment?

hi, anyone succeed to set up vm bhyve with gpu passthru?

if you let the installer use the "whole" disk ya don't have to worry about it.

Yes. But I do want to do partitionin myself to allocate space the way I want.

the benefit of doing that is what ?

i run today on a strange issue. I uninstalled the games and other educational software that was installed by kde5. after running pkg autoremove; pkg clean i noticed that the rest of the kde apps were also removed, so i needed to reinstall kde almost from the beginning and uninstall what i didn't need.

have anyone here encountered this issue?

when uninstalling first time the kde apps that I dont need I checked Create boot environment backup. my questions are these: where are located these backups? can I delete them without damaging my system ?

it's imposible for now

it is possible actually. https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26209

For one, installer doesn't allow to install system as dual boot. For two, customized partitionin layout to suit my needs as a desktop.

Yes. But I do want to do partitionin myself to allocate space the way I want.

There is a guide in freebsd wiki about how to set rootzfs. I always use that.

Yes I saw that. Still I got curious what do I have to follow to allow for ZFS boot environment.

It happens when A depends on B, when you remove B, A has to be uninstalled too. In your case, these games may be part of KDE5 desktop and cannot be removed as a part.

BEs are just snapsots and can be removed of course. Check handbook for it.

None. I follow wiki guide for rootzfs then follow vermaden guide for boot environment

This is normal, because some packages is no use because you have remove the main package. It is like dependencies.

None. I follow wiki guide for rootzfs then follow vermaden guide for boot environment

Maybe I am not making it clear. I mean I want to understand what it requires to use ZFS boot environments. Do I have to make all the datasets as mentioned in wiki page? Is viable to leave maybe one or two of them out?

say ya got OS #1 . and ya want free. make partition for it ( i would do just one) and run it all under /

I am actually dual booting FreeBSD 13 (RootOnZFS) and Windows on one disk already. I am just being curious about boot environment and what it requires to work properly. I didn't find anything in the handbook or wiki.

Can you open SFTP address in Caja file manager? It works in Debian Linux box but not FreeBSD.

what's the error log?

it could be ranging from permissions to aliens if you don't provide more input

It keeps addding my home path before the address I pasted sftp://path.to.my.server

Making it look like /home/User/sftp://path.to.my.server

And then reports the location doesn't exist (of course it doesn't 🤷🏻‍♂)

check this

Caja always add my ~ before the sftp adress I use

that's weird

have you tried kill any caja PIDs and then remove you ~ hidden config for caja?

Thunar not working either, reports a '!' before address

have you tried kill any caja PIDs and then remove you ~ hidden config for caja?

same

lauch caja from terminal and do that, no output from terminal

I use sftp cmd in terminal and login OK

Does anyone know, how to reset VirtualBox's Host-Key (Ctrl-right) on a FreeBSD-Host back to default, once it has been changed? I tried a VBoxManage-command (like setextradata host key=...) but that doesn't work. getextradata displays 'no host-key', although I defined an alternative one in VBoxGUI. Problem of VBoxGUI is: it doesn't accept the 'Ctrl-right' key stroke for some funny reason. Has anyone an explanation?

I use sftp cmd in terminal and login OK

where does caja add the ~ before? in the side pane?

where does caja add the ~ before? in the side pane?

No. If I input sftp://remoteUSER@1.1.1.1 in address bar and press ENTER, it truns into /home/localUSER/sftp://remoteUSER@1.1.1.1 and reports that the location doesn't exist.

what if you don'

don't set the remoteUSER@

and let the keyring ask you for creds?

I tested right now and it does not add ~

if I add the user it will add user on ..... in the side pane, but irt works fine too

don't set the remoteUSER@

Not working either

weird maybe ur version has bug or smth

as said Ijust tried on a fresh install of fbsd13 and works perfectly

I am running FreeBSD 13.0-p7 , latest repo

well, I'm using older

no patches on my testbox

I am not sure. Because thunar file manager not working either. I am guessing the blame is on me but I donno what I am doing wrong.

what value does this give? sysctl security.bsd.unprivileged_read_msgbuf

1

ok, I'm out of ideas. :^( I had an issue with sftp and that set to 0.

Thank you all. I'll do more search and try.

Hello! Does anyone here have an up to date guide for installing steam via linuxulator? I need to install a specific game on freebsd as a challenge.

Hello! Does anyone here have an up to date guide for installing steam via linuxulator? I need to install a specific game on freebsd as a challenge.

you can also try Suyimazu thats a nice wine wrapper, I have steam and gog galaxy up and running

you can also try Suyimazu thats a nice wine wrapper, I have steam and gog galaxy up and running

Ill give that a try since its not a demanding game, but i wanted to use linuxulator because the game has a native linux binary

Thanks for the idea!

you can also setup a compat layer with ubuntu: https://www.micski.dk/2021/12/21/install-ubuntu-base-system-into-freebsds-linux-binary-compatibility/

and install steam into that

Tried that, but it says "coulnt find content directory". I had to edit the launch script because it assumed gnu coreutils but in the end i got a "unsupported os" prompt

Ill use wine to install the game

Thanks man, it worked

Hi. I am using XTerm in FreeBSD and it inserts ß when I press Alt + Shift + -, which however inserts last arg from last command in LInux. But I am sharing ~/.Xresources file, what's the problem here?

XTerm*eightBitInput: false XTerm*altSendsEscape: true Seems to make Alt + - to work as UP key and browse cmd history
