There are already IPv6-enabled mirrors. The issue is that

Re: How to Get the kernel-specific source or configuration of the distribution without installation
O 24/04/22 ás 10:13, 孙滢 escribiu: Hi， We are studying on the default value of Kernel Configuration items in each Linux mainstream distribution. May I ask if your distribution has the open kernel source website url(eg. git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crackcod/mainline/v5.18-rc3) ? Or directly the url of kernel configuration files (eg. https://github.com/KaOSx/core/blob/master/linux/config)? Or some other public way to get your distribution's kernel-specific configuration files on different kernel versions without installation?

I feel like the dumbest person in the world asking this, but what EXACTLY do you mean by "and then went back"? Are you using cursor keys? I.e. should I have gotten those to work in vi in xterm and console? Because I haven't. The moment I try to cursor back, I'm back to vi mode and the ex-style command mode line at the bottom is gone. Yeah, moving the cursor back and pressing enter. On the vi subject, since I don't have my OpenBSD machine at hand I was testing this on Debian GNU/Linux with sed --posix, and it has vim instead of vi. Otherwise, if I try to just type :!sed s/abc/abc\/g % | grep -c abc and press enter, I only get the same output I also get out of :!grep -c abc % on its own -- which won't count multiple same-line occurrences. A still confused Ian Now it is my turn to feel dumb. I was so focused on the newline-sed subject that I forgot about that, so I did not put multiple abc's on the same line :). On that subject :! grep -o abc % | wc -l seems to work for me.

Is anyone able to make sense of this? Does anyone know if there's a reason or rationale behind the BSD sed implementation when it comes to newlines?

Re: vi: count occurrences of a word
O 04/09/21 ás 12:12, ropers escribiu:
However, I can't get the newline to work right in OpenBSD's sed. It
does work in GNU sed.
man sed has this:
The escape sequence \n matches a newline character embedded in the
pattern space. You can't, however, use a literal newline character
in an address or in the substitute command.
Now I *thought* \n was NOT considered a literal newline, and that I
should thus be able to get this to work, but I'm a little stumped.
Googled information suggests that the opposite of what's described in
the man page may be true: You CAN use a literal newline, but you
can't use \n. But I'm not sure if the googled information is correct
and I still haven't figured this one out.
In trying to get this to work, I took a FILE that contains a bunch of
abc's, sometimes several to a line, sometimes not, and I did
this[0]:
$ sed s/abc/abc^M/g FILE > DAFTFILE
Here ^M *was supposed to be* a literal newline, i.e. I pressed ^V
followed by the return key, but readers more alert than me can
doubtlessly already see the problem: Apparently ^V[enter] yields a
literal carriage return, not a literal newline (^J). That's the case
on Linux as well, and I don't know why.
One interesting observation, if someone does get this to work, is
that this :!sed s/abc/abc\n/g % | grep -c abc is only shorter than
this :!cat % | tr '\n' ' ' | awk '{print gsub(/abc/, "")}' if the
abc string is short.
To use newlines with sed I use tr and a char I know does not appear on
the text, like '|' or '`'. I just tested
:!sed s/abc/abc€/g % | tr '€' '\n' | grep -c abc
and it worked fine.

Re: Adding a prompt on the installer before overwriting the partition table
O 28/06/21 ás 16:53, Theo de Raadt escribiu: Parodper wrote: I think there should be a prompt in the installer before overwriting the partition tables. The current behavior is, when selecting the whole disk, to overwrite the partition table directly. Isn't it kind of obvious that selecting the whole disk requires overwriting the partition table? That assumes that people don't make mistakes, like I did. Having the default option be «delete everything **without asking**» seems to me as good place to make mistakes. At least the edit option requires more than just one key press to delete your data The installer has acted this way for more than 20 years. It is well documented. Haven't heard a complaint in a decade. Did you read the installation docs? There have been multiple complains: https://marc.info/?t=14720374222&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=13311235202&r=1&w=2 https://marc.info/?t=9437909741&r=1&w=2 I decided to start a new thread because those old threads usually end with a «diff please» or centering too much on how the first user wrote the mail. I doubt other major operating system installers ask you again if you are sure you want this hidden but obvious step, so why should our installer? Off the top of my head I couldn't tell you how other OS do it, but the Debian installer puts the template into the partitioning program, and the program asks no matter the option chosen. I would have suggested something like that, but I preferred to start with something more simple. Meanwhile, your change probably breaks including auto and templated installs -- because a newly introduced question which isn't answered will receive \n, and without y\n it fails. That is a good complain. I have no experience with automated installs, so I don't know how they do it. But if the defaults have to be explicit then, instead of changing the fdisk option, I propose changing the default to the «(E)dit» option. On the other hand, if you don't want to change the installer interface in any way there is nothing more to discuss. Furthermore I think the whole concept of installing multiple operating systems on one disk and multiple-booting is increasingly complex to the point of being a waste of time. Multiple partitions are not only used for having multiple operating systems. I usually have a data partition on my machines. Major operating systems don't make it trivial. Depending on your definition of «trivial», yes they do. Why should the smaller systems be held to the standard of making it easy? I am not suggesting that OpenBSD should change the install process for a tablet-based interface. It is a small change for which I have suggested a diff. Sorry to break the news, but as a rule the most fragile configurations of any software are the ones unused by the developers. This is definitely one. None of us use multiboot. True, but this is only tangentially related to multiboot.
Adding a prompt on the installer before overwriting the partition table
I think there should be a prompt in the installer before overwriting the partition tables. The current behavior is, when selecting the whole disk, to overwrite the partition table directly. I am suggesting this because I once by mistake double pressed enter at the «Partitioning Disks» stage, selecting my main drive but also selecting the default partitioning option. I quickly canceled the operation, but it had already deleted my GPT table. I was able to recover it, but it should have asked, like it does on the «(E)dit» option. I would suggest modifying install.md like this (example from the amd64 version): --- install.md2021-06-28 15:07:22.28218 +0200 +++ install.md.ask2021-06-28 15:08:44.776914131 +0200 @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ case $resp in [wW]*) echo -n "Setting OpenBSD MBR partition to whole $_disk..." -fdisk -iy $_disk >/dev/null +fdisk -i $_disk echo "done." return ;; [gG]*) @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ fi echo -n "Setting OpenBSD GPT partition to whole $_disk..." -fdisk -iy -g -b 960 $_disk >/dev/null +fdisk -i -g -b 960 $_disk echo "done." return ;; [eE]*)
Maintaining modified binary kernel config
So I've got an old single-core computer that can't boot with radeondrm enabled. I checked and if I disable it from the boot prompt there are no problems, but it doesn't persist between reboots. After checking the man pages I found the config(8) tool, which seemed to solve my problem. Using the example on the man page I did # config -e -o bsd.new /bsd ukc> disable radeondrm ukc> quit # mv bsd.new /bsd But that only lasts for one reboot (I think on some cases not even that). After that the next reboots have the same problem. Any tips to make the changes permanent? Another related question: what is the bsd.booted kernel for? Should I also modify that one?

Re: Changing efi system partition
O 10/04/21 ás 18:45, David Passens escribiu: Hello folks, I recently installed OpenBSD as a dualboot next to a Linux install. However, I didn't pay much attention to partitioning and created a new ESP. This means that my Linux bootloader can't find the OpenBSD bootloader to chainload it. Now I want to fix this situation. If I don't reinstall (which I don' want to), I need to move one bootloader onto the other ESP. Moving the Linux bootloader seems easier, but I'd like to know if I can do the same with the OpenBSD one. I could just try to move the executable but I'm not sure how the bootloader finds the partition to boot from and how sysupgrade finds the bootloader to upgrade it (if it does it at all, the man page didn't mention it). Does anybody know whether it's safe to just move the bootloader to a different partition? If so, can I rename it as well? BOOTX64.efi conflicts with my linux bootloader. I already tried to find out via boot(8) and boot_amd64(8) but they only talk about legacy BIOS. At first glance, man -k efi doesn't point to any useful pages either. I might've overlooked something though, I'm fairly new to OpenBSD. Thanks in advance, David EFI can boot from any FAT partition on the drive. You can put any bootloader you want on that partition (usually it is the first) and EFI will be able to boot from it. Check your mobo documentation, but for me the BIOS menu includes an «Boot from» option, to select the EFI file from which to boot. Not knowing the OpenBSD specifics, it should boot even if you move it. If you have doubts, try to recreate your setup on a virtual machine and try there.
Re: Does Minecraft + Microsoft account on OpenBSD work?
O 04/04/21 ás 16:34, Mark Hesselink escribiu: Hi, Minecraft Java Edition can be easily installed on OpenBSD using the games/minecraft port (see e.g. https://openports.se/games/minecraft). Before I buy the game, which at 17.95 GBP is reasonably priced IMHO, I wanted to ask the OpenBSD community whether anyone has been able to get the Minecraft port to work using a Microsoft account: Since 1 December 2020 one needs a Microsoft account to buy and play Minecraft Java Edition. I have attempted to start the games/minecraft port in demo mode using the instructions posted at https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Demo_mode: Supposedly passing the --demo argument to minecraft.jar should launch the demo. Assuming these instructions are correct, I have not been able to log in to Minecraft using my Microsoft account despite registering the account for a free trial. Would anyone know the magic trick to play Minecraft Java Edition on OpenBSD using a Microsoft account? Cheers, Mark I have an account with the paid game. For me it runs perfectly. However there is a problem: this launcher is outdated. Now there is a new one that runs from a native executable, and the Java one is deprecated. This means that you can't run the newer versions (haven't tried it, but after a bit of searching I can find complains from version 1.14.4). And I can't find what are you saying about that «Demo mode page». It clearly says that for launching the demo you only need to login as an account without the game bought. The «--demo» option is for servers.
