  • Just found two articles from the pkgsrc section of the NetBSD wiki: * how to upgrade packages and * how to install modular xorg I have been wanting to see good tutorials on these subjects for a while! Yaaay! :)
  • NetBSD uses pkgsrc to compile and install self-compiled binaries for approximately 28,000 third-party programs which are not part of the NetBSD core. For quick reference, besides the pkgsrc.org site, there also is the pkgsrc section of the NetBSD wi…
  • (Quote) Honestly, I don't know. I've been having a lot of fun here on the Low End, but I haven't yet been able to determine the best recipe. As you know, there are a lot of people here! I wish you good luck!
  • Thanks to Scaleblade for contributing a server to FreeVPS.org! <3 Much appreciated! (Quote) @Scaleblade -- A near equivalent to your mockup offer might be Linveo's offer posted here at LES on February 12: "Ohio and AZ are fully 9950X. Tex…
  • From Tavis Ormandy: "through a combination of unlikely discoveries, crazy hacks and the 90s BBS warez scene I’ve been able to port Lotus 1-2-3 natively to Linux – an operating system that literally didn’t exist when 1-2-3 was released!" …
  • Here is the new kernel install, followed by a reboot to run the new kernel. Then, with the new kernel running, we install the new userland and reboot again so that we are running both the new kernel and the new userland. The new kernel needs to be…

  • Definitely I can add good words for Linveo! I've been using one of the Linveo Arizona VPSes since October. Linveo supports a wider than usual selection of Linux distributions. In addition to Linux, Linveo has added the major BSD images to its inst…

  • (Quote) Hi @sh97! Sorry to hear that you dropped your ASN! I still would like to get one, but I haven't yet. When I get started, you are more than welcome to 100 shares of stock in the ASN corporation. Meanwhile, free bounce for your BuyVM transfer.…
  • (Quote) I'm not an expert on this, but bashvm is installed on our Community Server. We can use grep to see that bashvm.sh uses virsh. root@hlcs:/usr/local/bashvm# grep virsh bashvm.sh virsh list --all v…
  • (Quote) Hi @cainyxues! Yes, it does seem that integrating bashvm with FOSSBilling might work. I haven't tried it myself yet. I haven't looked at the current status of the Proxmox integration with FOSSBilling, so I can't say how that is doing. I n…
  • Hi Everyone! We've got this nice, free Hosteroid LES Community Server waiting for some of us to use it! If you are interested, please take a careful look at the How to Apply section in the OP. Thanks! Special thanks to @cmeerw for sysadmin help! …
  • I found a nice post from 2001 by Martti Kuparinen, the author of NetBSD's etcupdate. I like the post because it provides examples. Of course, etcupdate has changed since 2001. (Quote) ~~~ Now I seem to have got through a run of etcupdate -av on ou…
  • Hi @lukast__ ! I'm really glad to see your review! Thanks for posting! I definitely will take a look at Layer 7, and maybe I can buy something from them. One thing which especially impressed me from your review was your positive comment about Layer…

  • When I tried etcupdate previously, I had seen, if I remember correctly, Section 35.1.4 of the NetBSD Guide. Section 35.1.4 says: (Quote) So I think I might have gone ahead and tried /usr/sbin/etcupdate -s /usr/src. What seemed to happen might have…
  • Now, etcupdate itself. linveo# wc -l $(which etcupdate) 855 /usr/sbin/etcupdatelinveo# (Spoiler)
  • etcupdate has a man page which isn't too long. linveo# nroff -man /usr/share/man/man8/etcupdate.8 | wc -l 234linveo# Here is the full etcupdate(8) man page, if you want to take a peek under the spoiler. NetBSD also has its man pages online. …

  • Hello! I got the OpenBSD installer running inside Qemu running on a Linux server. My goal for now was just to make sure I could boot the installer, so I did not (yet) make a qcow2 file for a persistent installation. Instead, I stopped when I reache…
  • @JDMcPea Congrats! Good luck!
  • (Quote) Thanks so much! <3 Debian is great, of course, and Debian also is very widely adopted. That's why, originally, I asked @Hosteroid <3 for Debian, since I thought Debian would be the most appreciated OS by the majority here at LES. Howe…
  • (Quote) Sounds great! No rush. :star: As I said, I'm working on the filesystem stuff on another server, for a little while. To be clear, my main concern is staying fair with Hosteroid. If at least somebody has an upcoming use for the Community Ser…
  • Hello! I got another server temporarily so that I can mess with LVM without risk of causing disruption here. More on LVM in a little while. If I understand right, @quangthang wants to try running Nix on ARM architecture, and our server is Intel. @…
