hello there everyone and sorry if it is a bad question, i was installing freebsd following the guide at https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/bsdinstall/index.html#bsdinstall-part-manual, manually but my pc is too old to support gpt, so i need some help creating the filesystem of order /, swap, /usr, /var with mbr partitoning scheme, thanks in advance

also since my pc doesn't support uefi, so i was creating freebsd-boot partition instead of efi, but when i try to do that it says invalid argument

nvm, i did the partitioning

getting this error, what could possibly be the reason?

also i am curious about why it aborted the whole extraction because of only lib32.txz because as you can see, ports and src were remaining to be extracted

am i in the wrong group?

No

It seems like this step has been already done

hmm, yeah, i just ignored that and moved on and now it is saying no boot loader my partitioning was for mbr freebsd-ufs(/), freebsd-swap, freebsd-ufs(/user), freebsd-ufs(/var), i think that the issue is because missing freebsd-boot partition but i skipped because it was calling it invalid argument

Thanks Admin,

Bizarre as hell

Why does the PERIODIC TRIM section of the zpool-trim(8) man page have systemctl commands XD ?

because manpages (and the whole zfs thing) are common for FreeBSD and ZoL

guys, noob question: it is possible to connect two gpus, one nvidia and one amd, to a motherboard and use one for the Host and the other in a bhyve guest with pass-trough?

motherboard in question is a asrock z270

It's not possible https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?vmm(4)

I've seen a lot of people trying to do it. So it's not limited to what I've said, nor to the words of gurus.

Hi all. Please tell me, is it possible to make a Linux (debian 12) distribution running in bhyve always use RTC time, and not synchronize via ntp? For what? when I worked with the bhyve virtual machine, and then plunged the host into S3 mode, then after returning back, the old time remains in the virtual machine. Why synchronize the virtual machine with ntp when you can request the time from the RTC clock (host).

Bizarre as hell

hmm, it seems i messed up while partitioning last time, working fine with auto ufs

Hi all. If anyone has an extra minute, please look at this PR/issue with kate. The problem has been going on since April 2023. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468573 Thanks to everyone who will respond.

Okay

You can install telegram-*-qt iirc. And you can lock the telegram package(pkg lock telegram)

Dont forget that locking a pkg will prevent update/upgrade the locked pkg

thanks, i didn't knew this

thanks, i didn't knew this

Didnt know either but i learned. You can read in man pkg.

Also, to unlock the pkg run pkg unlock telegram in order to update/upgrade that package

Hope that will help you in the future

thanks again, btw i am unable to get any audio output in freebsd, where should i look for the issue?

Hope that will help you in the future

i mean which logs should i grab?

From what i know you should put some params in rc.conf and iirc in loader.conf. you should post in general and expert users will try to help you.

i see, thanks again

I found this: cat /dev/sndstat sysctl hw.snd.default_unit=X   where X is which device to use

Hope this will help you troubleshooting the sound issue you have

hey there everyone i am using freebsd 14.0 on amd64 hardware with pulseaudio but it seems that freebsd is unable to detect my speaker usually in cinnamon audio utility(when i was using debian) it will show as " line out built in audio" but now it doesn't show that in freebsd and i am not getting any audio output, i would love to provide more info that might help to detect what the issue might be, thanks in advance

so the card is getting detected and beep produces a sound but except beep nothing else produces sound

check the handbook steps https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/#sound-setup I also did record the steps I made to make it work a while ago, but my knowledge may be outdated, nvm if you want to also check: https://vertexfarm.xyz/content/notes/000_freebsd_gearingup.html#setting-up-audio

i don't see anything i missed from the handbook to make sound work, since pcm device is getting detected the correct driver is loaded and beep produces a sound to indicate that is working but my issue is that no other program or utility is producing any sound output, only beep does

thanks for advising that and sound is working in it properly without me needing to do anything

btw wow the fact that freebsd has compatibility with linux software is amazing but is it necessary to install cent-os base files? can't i just go with debootstrap in /compat/linux?

wtf sound is working now on it's own, i did nothing lol

btw wow the fact that freebsd has compatibility with linux software is amazing but is it necessary to install cent-os base files? can't i just go with debootstrap in /compat/linux?

yes you can but it's better to use a specific namespace like /compat/debian or /compat/ubuntu

i meant to ask do i need both centos userland and debootstrap?

no, you can bootstrap only debian based and it works, this is what I have

Hi all Has anyone encountered such a problem with the bhyve virtual machine, with a guest Debian 12: if, while the bhyve virtual machine is running, you enter S3 mode on the host, then after exiting some strange glitches with the virtual machine occur. For example - it is impossible to connect via ssh to the virtual machine. Stops on line "debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received." - the network does not work on the virtual machine. The gateway and any other IPs on the local network are not pinged. Even ping 127.0.0.1 doesn't work. Although the virtual machine pings from the host. - inability to log in as a guest after opening the console via vm console debian12 I enter the login root, press inter and pause; I enter the login root, enter the password, press inter and pause; The problem is only on Debian 12, without X. This has never happened on other Linux distributions.

You can configure a keyfile that's in a pendrive. For more info, check the first example in man geli

which irc client you guys use on freebsd?

irssi.

Thank you. I'm new to FreeBSD and I find this part a bit overwhelming. Will it be recognized by the OS loader?

irssi.

thanks, it looks good

So be nice, I ask you to read it again.

but we do have the right to state opinions (:

guess who fucked up when upgrading ports and now has to rebuild ports from scratch? yep this bitch

next time i'm gonna set up some jails just for this purpose

for any person reading this i do not advise reading through the handbook in a way "meh i'll skip this and get to that part later"
