I installed sway and wayland today. I have to say it's a lot better than x11. I was getting a bunch of screen tearing when scrolling firefox with x11 and i3 but that seems all fixed with wayland. So that's pretty cool. Sway is nice. I was able to copy most of the i3 settings over (not that I had a bunch anyway). The only probably I really had with wayland was setting up the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. I had to search around the internet to find some answers on why it wasn't working. The freebsd handbook was a bit misleading with the steps that were needed.

XDG path variables are annoying as poo poo and i have no idea why they don't stay set, even if you put them in your rc or whatever

AlbertFlasher posted:nice they improved intel wireless drivers but still only up to 802.11g 802.11ac/az is done via iflib/drvapi (or something equivalent to it), which means that it applies to all wireless nics capable of associating the appropriate media this avoids a bunch of boiler plate code and makes it easier to make changes in the future without needing a bunch of mechanical commits.

if you use intel's drivers on linux they support everything you'd expect. i assume the problem on bsd is actually the firmware

Has anyone else tried BSD on a Lenovo IdeaPad Edge series laptop? I have an Edge 15 with a cracked screen that I use as a guinea pig and install random poo poo on, I tried FreeBSD and it seems to work fine except for the fact that it constantly shits ACPI errors all over the loving screen I can hardly even use vi because the screen just fills up with garbage  googling the problem led to a mailing list discussion where people recommended adding debug.acpi.disabled="1" to either /boot/loader.conf or boot/defaults/loader.conf, I added it to both and there was no effect

Who needs logs anyway? What've they ever done for us! Also, regarding wifi - until the LKPI gets implemented (which allows FreeBSD to load Linux wireless drivers, not unlike how ndis(4) used to work), there's the option of using net/wifibox.

Since it's complaining about something not being found, there's a possibility you're simply testing on an old version (and you didn't mention which one you tested on). 14-CURRENT has the next-newest ACPICA from what I can spot, and the newest one was from the end of March. If you switch to another vty, the console spam shouldn't affect you since ttyv0 is the system console like it is on every other Unix-like. It might also be a good idea to use sysutils/acpica-tools to extract the ACPI tables, so you can attach them in a good report - because SA/IRC/Forums/et cetera ad nauseum isn't bug tracker.

I installed 13.2 since it was advertised as the latest release build, I'll try a live USB of 14.0 and see if it gives the errors before trying sysutils. E: got it connected to the internet, the port for sysutils/acpica-tools didn't compile so I read the manual and it suggested updating the ports tree with git, but first installing git, and it gave the option of installing through the ports tree or the package manager so I decided to install it as a port and WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE TO COMPILE A COMPLETE SET OF GNU DEV TOOLS AND X11/GTK2/3 TOO THIS WILL TAKE ALL loving NIGHT

update: pretty sure the 3 billion dependencies the ports version of git installed gave me broken versions of a bunch of libraries needed by DEs (none of them would load, they would all report problems with symbols in various libraries). I reinstalled with the 14.0-CURRENT beta. I have not yet fixed the ACPI errors but I have managed to get Xfce and SDDM working so I don't have to look at them anymore. Is acpidump the right binary from sysutils/acpica-tools? I used it to create a .gz file that I might use in my bug report? also: xfce4-panel barfs whenever I close a window but that's apparently a known 14.0-CURRENT issue and you have to disable window grouping Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Apr 14, 2023 |

OpenBSD 7.3 installed on an old T420 to use as a "focus" device for writing and coding - forgot how smooth the install process is. Nice that they have FDE setup built into that flow now as well.
