r/openbsd

It’s more stable? It’s easiest to use? What i Will need to configure? Which is the advantages?

Hey guys, does anyone here have ncspot running on 8.0 #83 amd64? Is there anything in particular I should be aware of?

It's not working for me, and I won't have time to take a closer look at it until the weekend.

TIA.

It's my daily driver, T14 Gen5 AMD

I know there are a few other posts here about this issue but I have read the readme for librewolf/firefox and dbus regarding pledge/unveil and done the recommended steps for getting ~/Downloads to be visible as well as adding the recommended lines to my .xsession regarding dbus. Neither has made it so that I can download or upload files

/Downloads and /tmp are accessible if I go to them via file:///home/user/Downloads or /tmp but most websites require the gtk file picker to access files and nothing is visible but 'recent'.

Is there something I'm missing? I could add another directory to /etc/librewolf/unveil.main set to rwc the way Downloads is but the issue doesn't seem to be access, it's specifically the GTK picker seeing the directories.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Spoke too soon. For those with a similar problem see the following

1. Perform the actions in both the /usr/local/share/doc/librewolf and dbus readmes
2. download xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
3. In about:config set the following ui.allow_platform_file_picker = false and widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker = 2

That should allow you to actually see everything!

Built-in mic on my ThinkPad T490 records nothing on 7.9. Got told it needs firmware OpenBSD does not support.
Thinking about putting 8.0 on my Asus Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405MA, but I need the mic for work calls. Anyone got the built-in mic working on a newer Intel laptop? Or is it the same story?

Guys, I think we missed one of the most anticipated features for VMM—we'll finally be able to assign multiple vCPUs to our VMs!

I'm definitely having a beer to celebrate that today!

Huge thanks to the OpenBSD devs!

My gpu is overheating and i want to know how can i make minimal fan speed bigger on openbsd?

I am trying to install/configure a virtual machine for Alpine Linux since I figured Jellyfin in a container might be the best / "easiest" way to access my media files from my new Android TV. But all I have accomplished so far, after booting Alpine from inside the vm, is to disconnect my own remote headless server from the network.

Thanks to anticipation, I can still SSH log in to my server using the wireless interface.
I have strictly followed the FAQ's last section (VMs on the real network), except my wired interface is re0 and not em0.

Here is my server's current configuration, before I return it to normal awaiting the next attempt:

srv$ cat /etc/hostname.athn0

What might I be doing wrong ?
