Sending Mail to misc

2020-10-18 Thread Jeffrey Joshua Rollin
Hi, I’m able to send mail from my iPad (sorry), but not from my OpenBSD machine (same address). Any ideas what could be causing this? In the meantime, thanks for 6.8 and happy anniversary. Jeff Sent from my iPad

Re: Error Upgrading 6.4 to 6.5 mount failure

A more interesting question is, why "rw," with a comma,  worked on 6.4 but not 6.5. ⁣Get BlueMail for Android ​ On 11 May 2019, 23:28, at 23:28, Antonino Sidoti wrote: >I actually got it to upgrade; > >Here are my steps; > >I tried the ‘bsd.rd’ option and this failed too >I rebooted the server

Re: New laptop recommendations

ThinkPads use devices for which there are open source devices for everything, as far as I know. Still, hardware support in the BSDs lags Linux to varying degrees, because of slower hardware. (My 2015 E550, for example, still lacked full video support in FreeBSD RELEASE,  last time I looked. In

Definitely second the ThinkPad recommendations. I have an X230i, bought used, on which I currently run OpenBSD 6.3, and an E550 on which I've used OpenBSD in the past; both run perfectly as of 6.2, except for the fingerprint reader on the X (although to be fair I haven't tried that again

Yes, I'd like to add to the general chorus of thanks. As I've mentioned several times already, I'm a chronic distro hopper, yet have upgraded all the way from OpenBSD 6.1 to 6.3 on the X230i and have experienced no problems (running -release or whatever the official name is; occasional problems

Depending on the chipset (and you don't mention which it is), the system may recognise and download the firmware for the card, if you plug in an ethernet cable before the first boot (after install). If you've already installed it, run fw_update(1) as root. Also, not sure why you would be warned

2018-04-14 Thread Jeffrey Joshua Rollin
Hi, I've installed OpenBSD 6.3-release for amd64 on virtualbox, and updated it with syspatch as of 20:40 UTC. pkg_info -Q seems to be failing. Specifically, I tried $ pkg_info -Q mate ...and also as root, to remind myself what the metapackage is [I have a feeling it's just "mate" anyway] [EDIT:

I have an X230i and an E550, and as of 6.2, Open BSD works fine on both. I'm not sure how kindly Open BSD and libreboot would take to  each other though, so if it was me I'd avoid using that one. Jeff ⁣Sent from Blue ​ On 19 Feb 2018, 09:01, at 09:01, crimeangot...@nigge.rs wrote: > >Hey
