Re: pfctl: DIOCGETQSTATS: Bad file descriptor

I haven't done anything other than binary releases in some time, although it's possible I may have fat fingered a terminal at some point. I infrequently check these boxes other than biannual release updates and mtier patches. The checksums and timestamps of /bsd and /sbin/pfctl match another

pfctl: DIOCGETQSTATS: Bad file descriptor

Whenever running "doas pfctl -s queue -v" on a 5.8/amd64 box (PC engines apu1d4), it outputs the error "pfctl: DIOCGETQSTATS: Bad file descriptor". Has anyone seen this before? Both queuing and port filtering have been working without issue. Here's a 1:1 copy of the queuing section I'm running

Many thanks for the suggestions on executing acpidump and building the kernel with ACPI_DEBUG enabled. Regrettably, I presently don't have access to the Acer Aspire 3630 so it will take a few weeks to post an update on this. I'll make sure to follow up at the next opportunity. Kind regards,

High interrupt load using 5.8 Release GENERIC i386 on Acer Aspire 3630 laptop

Hi, I have installed 5.8 Release GENERIC i386 on an Acer Aspire 3630 laptop. Even when the system is almost completely idle, `top' consistently reports an interrupt load in the range 75%--80%. Admittedly this hardware is more than 8 years old, nevertheless I believe the load is unusually high,

Re: text-mode gui

Whatever the encryption or other stake raising argument is found today or in the future, the point is, deviation from line oriented interfaces for the installer is not the way it can be handled by other systems, meaning it's not the least common denominator that lends itself to machine processing
