If you are running -12.x, you may wish to either make sure you are installing packages from a -12 repo or update your OS to 13.0-BETA3. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I'm interested in the answers but the questions aren't specific and I'm not going to attend to the meeting. So I expect that there are better questions to fill that place. These questions have being in my head for a long time, even. - Where are the results of the (past) surveys? - Can the surveys be audited? - How safe they are? I mean: if someone wants to change the data, the security measures to the data integrity? - "Community" is very vague therm. Can we have details about the users that answered them like a general description about the typical FreeBSD user and the user that answered them? - How the biases of the surveys were managed? - How the surveys data were processed to arrive at the results? - the papers about these surveys?

no graphics on a Dell Vostro 131
so, it's my great-grandma and has since recent update of the glib package the following problem when trying to start the DE or even lightdm, sddm, cdm... the reference output of X is: ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so0: Undefined symbol "eventfd@FBSD1_6" what I did so far: a) make kernel and userspace b) trying to compile devel/glib20 with an error something like cant't find textbook.xsl to be downloaded although there. c) trying to rebuild the linker, errors on compile: the above error message. When trying to add hald to /etc/rc.conf I get the same error message! Is the linker dead or is it the new version 2.66.7_1 of glib? what to do now? slim works but doesn't start any session (Plasma, GNOME, XFCE4). Starting plasma manually: same error.

CORE Team Office Hours
Hi, Following on from the effort in 2019, The FreeBSD team is arranging another Community Survey to help shape the future of The FreeBSD Project. The purpose of this survey is to collect quantitative data from the public in order to help guide the project’s priorities and efforts. Similar surveys have been conducted twice by the FreeBSD Project and we are preparing for our third. Before publishing the next survey the Core Team welcomes you to attend for a Virtual Town Hall meeting to share some of the insights of the 2020 Community Survey, and seek advice on how the next survey should be conducted. The virtual Town Hall will take place on the 17th of March 2021, at 18:00 hours GMT/UTC. See https://wiki.freebsd.org/OfficeHours for details on how to join either a live stream to watch, or an interactive meeting to participate. If time permits the Core Team may be able to answer questions related to the survey process.. If you have any specific questions that you would like answered during the session you can send an email to core@ ahead of the meeting which the Core Team will try to address. Thanks! We look forward to meeting you. Regards, Moin (bofh), with core-secretary@ hat on signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP

It's not part of the base system; it must have been pulled in as a dependency somewhere along the line. -- Daniel Stevenson ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
