Okok

Can unzip in FreeBSD handle file not compressed with UTF encode? File names got messed up after extracted from a zip file. I think it's GBK encoded.

I checked man pages and didn't see anything related

probably unzip from ports

Thanks. Am not using ports now. Not sure if using pkg and ports at the same time is a good idea.

That's a bad idea, you will probably get problems with libs

Yes. I am afraid such things might happen so have been sticking with pkg .

if you use binary packages, then pkg install zip

i m not sure whether it is or not. sure i have read or notice a lot of advice saying its bad to mix, but from my past experience, it seems ok. i like to build from ports using poudriere cuz i could configure it to my taste. i used to buils large packages like firefox, chromium n libreoffice but found it too much of hassle n takes a long time. i prefer building from poudriere for normal pkgs n install large pkgs thru pkg. works for me

I think ports are ok if you install some app thats on the end of the build chain, like a frontend gui or whatever and don't mix dependency libraries in ports and pkgs

Although I used to do a fully compiled system, not it is mostly pkg system, with some ports that I just want on the latest version, in large part to living off grid now and cannot keep a fully work station running powered up to compile everything like I used to.

I will quit freebsd

Sadly, cuz i cant any hotspot shit lmao

Yeah our wifi stack sucks 😞

I really hope opnsense and the freebsd foundation change this situation soon

Well Wifi support maybe lacking but I have a opnsense box with a atheros wlan card in there in my home network, there are also cheap wifi to ethernet bridges that are powered by usb. Of course thats not optimal but if you desperately need wifi on a notebook there are ways around it

Yeah but I mean for professional usage ... FreeBSD would be a great access-point platform otherwise

if anyone is unable to connect to wifi, just do ifconfig wlan0 down n ifconfig wlan0 up should be able to connect to wifi.

hi guys!

did you used xrdp to connect remote to a fbsd machine?

i was surprised that when running: pkg search <pkgname> in the terminal (when I was connected via xrdp) it gave me error saying pkg: command not found

checking on the machine directly the pkg command run as expected

another think that i noticed is that if i connect via xrdp the date applet is not displaying date and time correctly

i'm using fbsd+xfce

did you used xrdp to connect remote to a fbsd machine?

Greetings. No, I personally used and use ssh. But it seems you want a GUI session. I never wanted a GUI session, so I know nothing. You may want to read about VNC.

it maybe sound stupid, but where is the file that stores the history of the commands i wrote in terminal

In your home folder, try ls -a

It's $HOME/.history.

It's $HOME/.history.

i dont have a .history in my $HOME

What's your shell? It's not enabled by default in some shells.

i use the default one

If it's csh/tcsh, you can enable it With these lines: set history = 1000 set savehist = (1000 merge) set histfile = ~/.history

the last line is missing. i guess this is the reason for not seeing the file

Perhaps.

On the external interface: act as a DHCPv6 client to receive a Prefix Delegation

My openbsd router can’t receive prefix

Who can help me

Dhcpv6 or Router Advertisement ?

With dhcpv6 you’ll need “dhclient -6” with some conf in /etc/dhclient.conf For RA you get the prefix with something like “ifconfig em0 inet6 autoconf”

Btw I have the latter at home

Maybe ask on the openbsd channel, FreeBSD may be different, I didn’t try

The OpenBSD base system does not have a DHCPv6 client at present. Install the dhcpcd package for prefix delegation to obtain a chunk of public addresses for the local network.

my problem is pppoe get ipv6 perfix

Yes I get that

hi guys! can anyone here used aliases in ksh ?

doubt anyone’s using this ultraexotic shell

hi guys! can anyone here used aliases in ksh ?

c'mon... ksh? LoL, nope no idea

c'mon... ksh? LoL, nope no idea

testing openbsd

kk, but it has many other shells too

ksh and derivates are fine, it's also the default shell for various systems, like AIX. Basically the POSIX sh is almost pdksh88

And ultraexotic, dunno if that was some troll. It's at the origin of many features of bash and zsh and, the thing is they're just more big and modern. Ksh have anything to drive any unix system.

So it's dying?

bsd has been around much longer than linux. the main ones will remain

bsd has been around much longer than linux. the main ones will remain

bsd family, not FreeBSD

Linus once said that if FreeBSD or even BSDi would have been around the day he started Linux, there would be no Linux at all - no need.

the only reason there's Linux nowaday is that there was no i386 UNIX some time ago - only non-x86 implementations.

That and the legal mess before the offending parts were rewritten

So it's dying?

Apparently the major unix vendors starting in the 90's and now the other unix like makers have been predicting about a sudden freebsd dead.

14 release is ahead and I guess the roadmap is moving

the end of freebsd is when the world ends...as it is moving forward

although I dot think freebsd in this case will get a huge user crowd in the desktop space. Im fine with it ! maybe some support is lacking from the hardware point view but I dought could lead to a complete drope out

FreeBSD will be alive and kicking as long as Linux doesn't get decent zfs support

and the latter won't happen as long as Linus is alive

I'm pretty sure they share the same codebase - open-zfs.org, but the questionable area is kernel-level support. FreeBSD has it, while Linux does not, and this is not subject for changes in a foreseeable future

I actually dot care Im too old to see fire against others! I have some gentoo zfs root working perfectly for years now

every tool is meant to be for the specific task that need to be

hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=s3 hw.acpi.reset_video=1 this helped in the sleep part, but I cannot wake up the notebook after, I have to hard reboot

According to the wiki https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Thinkpad_T430s, it should do the trick with S3. yours is s3 try capitalizing the S, though I don't think that's the issue try running $ sysctl hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state and check what it prompts. From what I can recall, issues are usually due to nvidia gpus

Alright, try changing the s to an S and try again. Seems like some people on the same laptop have it working (ex. https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/5s55ef/comment/dddx8yi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 )

Interesting. Let's see if someone else comes up with some news. I'm on a thinkpad too, but different model. I'll test the suspend/resume once I arrive home

If I use S5 instead (I think that is better than the OS running or running without locking the screen). In this case, the shutdown processe when I close the lid it is "normal" one or it is abrupt and bad for the system on the long run?

S5 is a clean shutdown followed by a poweroff
