#netbsd10 — Public Fediverse posts

not seeing acpid in /etc/rc.d does that mean my system doesnt support it or it wasn't loaded somehow?

#netbsd10 #help #netbsd #laptop

So I have powerd running and I see lots of scripts in there but I'm not sure how to trigger them. My goal is jut to enable sleep state 3 when I close the lid to my laptop.

Beautiful!! Congrats! :D

Still a totally usable resolution. ;)

Yes! See if you can find i3-scrot somewhere. It's a little easier to use. Holler if you can't find it.

Put stuff in ~/.Xsession.
For wallpaper, you can use feh or nitrogen, or just something like Xbackground??? I'm not running X11 on here, so I'm having to go on memory.
Xrandr will write a file that you can source like a shell script, IIRC

man zzz or man apm. Search the web for 'suspend when closing lid "NetBSD"'

Gkrellm??

Try alt-drag or super/meta-drag inside a window to see if you can grab and move it past the screen edges. Otherwise consult the WM docs.

Where do I configure keeping the set wallpaper and screen resolution size?

Can't seem to figure out sleep. Closing the laptop lid does nothing.

A battery icon or some type of notifier would be nice.

Using Firefox Nightly and sometimes dialogue boxes extend passed the edges of the screen.

I want this on hardware with network support and modern sleep for laptops. I know "Of course it runs NetBSD", but.....does it work well enough on a laptop?

Ieri avevo un po' di tempo e così ho deciso di provare NetBSD 10 sul ssd interno, sempre sul muletto!

La velocità è aumentata notevolmente da quel che ricordo della versione 9. Ottimo!

Ecco lo screen di rito (NetBSD + i3wm)

P.S. lo so, per quanto riguarda gli sfondi è un periodo così 😂 devo sistemare anche la i3bar ma ieri sera si è fatto tardi 😆

.Sh HISTORY
The original
.Nm cpio
and
.Nm find
utilities were written by Dick Haight
while working in AT&T's Unix Support Group.
They first appeared in 1977 in PWB/UNIX 1.0, the
.Dq Programmer's Work Bench
system developed for use within AT&T.
They were first released outside of AT&T as part of System III Unix in 1981.
As a result,
.Nm cpio
actually predates
.Nm tar ,
even though it was not well-known outside of AT&T until some time later.

Nothing to see here. Just the console for a #NetBSD boot of a panix.com VPS updated to #netbsd10 :)

(Bonus marks for the first person to pick up what I forgot to update from netbsd 9... )

Took a screenshot of a few things I was trying out with #NetBSD10; the Zabbix dashboard has BSD Raspberry Pi wi-fi interface traffic, or lack thereof.
"Teenage Caveman" starred Robert Vaughn (later as the Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s cool spy Napoleon Solo), on VLC. With an #MST3K treatment.

#NetBSD10

With the #NetBSD10 release candidates still being issued, I refreshed several home systems and then kicked off "usr" tests. The Pi4 I reinstalled on an SSD has stalled a couple times during tests without traces I can find, and the amd64 system along with the Pi have started being noticed by #Zabbix, which creates many interfaces during automated test framework runs that I should have it ignore.

Honestly, that's the first #Zabbix server f.e. install that didn't make me copy the configuration file by hand. #NetBSD10

#NoFail

"Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zabbix frontend.
"

One more week until #FOSDEM, really looking forward to it!

You should totally come to see my main track talk on #NetBSD10 + 30 years of #NetBSD in general!

The steps to get wifi on a #RaspberryPi4 working with #NetBSD10 are not as easy as I hoped.

#NetBSD10
#Beta

I ran an older PC on the i386 build of #NetBSD10 BETA, then installed the amd64 image. I like the latter much better! I gained a few gigabytes of RAM for just a few CPU degrees Celsius.
