So I rebooted my laptop and Ipv6 stopped working. I had to restart netif service. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a specific order I have to put these lines?

I don't think so

I don't think so

well then I am confused

Leave it for a few days to see if anything changes.

Well the ipv6 information is given by what’s is the wlan0 interface facing… maybe the equipment did not respond in time or whatever

Maybe try to send manually the ipv6 RA query

FreeBSD audio in amateur and professional setups - Goran Mekić FreeBSD has astonishingly good support for audio that is rarely talked about Although FreeBSD was not created with professional audio support in mind, over time it became one of the best alternatives out there. In recent years this operating system received numerous improvements which make it as good as it is today. This presentation will be about audio advancements made in those years, what was improved and what is left to do to make FreeBSD event better solution for audio studios. Presenter will demonstrate his own studio from the view of FreeBSD and talk about different ways of improving audio performance. Special care is taken on how not to need specialized hardware or PC intended just for audio.

Hi _.⁠x._!

I wake up my laptop from sleep today, reconnect WiFi and IPv6 is down again though I see IPv6 address from ifconfig wlan0. I restart netif service and then IPv6 started to work again. Here is the output before and after restart netif service

That’s quite strange, I can’t see any difference and the routable ipv6 is assigned. Could be the network equipment that decide to drop your access and restarting netif does a new query waking it up.

I am suspecting something like that. but I don't know how to troubleshoot. leave it like this now.

I just found out that to use a network location in Caja file manager, I have to launch Caja in terminal using dbus-launch caja. I use XDM to login to my OpenBox session. Is there a way to avoid the use of dbus-launch? I mean I have Caja in my plank dock but apparently dbus-launch is skipped if I just click it on plank dock.

I don't mean to drop dbus-launch, just ask for a way to handle it in the plank launcher so that I don't have to manually run the command to open Caja.

Well turned out I have to launch openbox session in ~/.xinitrc as exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session

hi guys! I updated the packages on my fbsd machine, but for some unknown reason Calibre was uninstalled/deleted. when I tried to reinstall Calibre it tells me that there is no such package. Can I download on another machine the package and install it "offline"?

You could create a pkg from the port in a machine that has it, or check if the project offers binaries in the cloud

Thank you. I'll try do that.

how to factory reset freebsd use com?

This don't do much sense as FreeBSD not something that you could imagine doing a "factory reset" on but as an analogy this would consist of re-installing it with at least some configurations related to your host.

pkg list can be rolled back afair, can't recall the command now

Yeah, you can also boot back on a zfs root snapshot afaik

hi! noob question: can i use for example: !p to execute: ps -a, to execute a command in default shell.

You mean creating an alias?

starting with ! ?? that's weird I doubt it is a valid char for an alias

no because it is a keyword

hi! noob question: can i use for example: !p to execute: ps -a, to execute a command in default shell.

alias !p='ps -a' works, at least on ksh, but the reason you may want to do that are probably not very useful

it works because here the shell makes a difference between the negation reserved symbol ! and p simply because ! word does not equal !word. You can use other chars in front of alias like ,,'.','+','@'. The list is not exhaustive and that will depend exactly which implementation you use.

Hello dears Please i installed recently some Network devices and i need to get their configuration backup and archive them in the server, and i have FreeBSD instaled in our server, which is better deamon that can help me for this needs (i find the ProFTPD as first search, can you help for another one or how can i configure it ?)

Nearly anything is better than ftp. You aren't very specific on your "network devices", so I wouldn't know whether RANCID would be helpful or not. There's also a new thing out called Oxidized that may help you.

Hi, there are anyone that have intel ax201 and use its Bluetooth?

yeah, as they Jeff said, oxidized is good and can maintain history, run diffs and git pushes also on the other hand you can craft your own scripts, use ansible, or python, use crónicas for scheds, or maybe your networg gear adds backups sched on its own, proto u use to transfer those is irrelevant until you need to secure backup data in transit

Thanks Jeff for your help, i will check it and use it

Hello, I have a problem with the static ip address. If the internet restarts the computer does not connect and I have to manually launch dhclient bge0. What can I do to make it connect to the internet even if the modem disconnects by itself and reconnects?

I solved. I set cron to always have the pc connected even remotely. Here is the solution: ping -c02 -i3 www.google.it if [ $? -eq 0 ] then exit 0 else echo "Host not found, launching dhcpd" dhclient bge0 fi bge0 is my card, but you can easily use it with others as well.

What you say is not very coherent with using dhcp... Your interface is either configured statically or via the dhcp client: ifconfig_bg0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf does that for you. But even if you put a static configuration instead, for example: ifconfig_bg0="inet 192.168.200.201 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.200.254" The link goes up automatically in both cases after a cut. Maybe your network is configured with feets, but what's sure is that this crontab can be considered very ugly. Despite I don't recommand you keeping a loose workaround like that it could be written so to avoid polluting the local admin mbox unecessary: { ping -c2 target || dhclient bge0 } 2>&1 >/dev/null

So you are supposed to use DHCP or a static configuration, not both together on the same interface.🤦‍♂️

My new acquisitions

then the pool is dead now

I recovered it with UFS explorer

To all those who are using synth or anything else to build ports and tired of waiting for another OPTIONS prompt: pkg query %o | xargs -n1 -Ifoo make -C /usr/ports/foo config-conditional Will scan all your installed packages for any missing OPTION choices and show you dialog for each of them.

Dears, Please how can i create a group and user system, And what is the equivalent of the Linux command " groupadd --system , useradd --system"?

man pw

--system is just restricting to a range of UID and GID's defined by usually used shadow tools on linux

the right way on doing things is with man ! if you still need context maybe https://www.ryanwinter.org/manage-users-and-groups-in-freebsd/ could help

Are you receiving a lot of private messages from users with FreeBSD username and avatar today?

Curious situation... This account poked me two times today in mp, I don't know where it comes from, and did not convened any exchange with it. The first time was this morning with the exact same message, did not replied. Then message has been removed and resent. My resolution is blocking now.

Same thing happened to me. Now it is a deleted account.

Excellent!

I thought it was a yearly thing to get some feedback from users, then the conversation started to deviate from FreeBSD and I noticed the username is not group admin.

I've hidden the user list from the group, hope that helps

Dat's weird, I replied politely, but I don't see that conversation anywhere. Though I haven't touched any other controls, so I wasn't sharing my private details if any.

This is a well-known scam. They pretend to be a group owner and ask to transfer money. (I was contacted as well)

Hello dears, How can I check the hardware cpu usage, ram usage/free and disk usage /free in FreeBSD ?

Hello dears, How can I check the hardware cpu usage, ram usage/free and disk usage /free in FreeBSD ?

man top and man df may help you. $ top can give you info about the RAM, and $ df -h about disk. Also $ gpart show has info about the disks, and dmesg can help too

Thanks bro, I execute all of them but i can't understand the output of df, especially when i have a server that already installed and have some jails and zroot and pool, so i see the capacity but for each file !! If there is any source or documents to explain how to read the output ?

Manual page is about the best you can have I guess, but feel free to share a report of what specific part on your case is more difficult to get. -h and -H flags help reading the values https://manpages.org/df

What can I use in freebsd to monitor a daemon to restart incase if the service goes down ?

I think many approaches are available, I've been using supervisord for this task, it's basically a service manager

but it's possible to do that with base tools and some scripting

What can I use in freebsd to monitor a daemon to restart incase if the service goes down ?

sysutils/monit

Most basic thing around is daemon.

agreed, it's built in - daemon(8)

Actually, daemon is already widely used to spawn services in ports. As I'm on DragonFly this mostly doesn't touch me, as we have svc and I'm using it. And it' not directly portable to FreeBSD.

sysutils/fsc

+1 daemon, keep it simple, avoid bloating
