  • (Quote) Finally getting around to trying this. :) The above linked guide says to make an unprivileged user account to use for building. Documentation for how to make a user account is in Part III, Section 5.6 of the NetBSD Guide. I followed the a…
  • (Quote) This is why MetalVPS got the 256 GB RAM dedis.
  • (Quote) Yes! "-F" provides additional helpful information concisely expressed. I wish "-F" were the default. But maybe there is a disadvantage to making "-F" the default for ls?
  • (Quote) Hi @caasify! When I first saw your comment, my initial thought was, "I don't remember ever seeing any dot files in /etc." Then I ranls -laand was reminded of the Posix dot files which always seem present, I guess, in everyls -la`…
  • Hello! October 8, 2024 has arrived, so E3 Crunchy now has one month to go before expiration on November 8. Of course, as E3 Crunchy's final month progresses, we doubtless will hear details from @crunchbits about when and how E3 Crunchy will be upgr…

  • (Quote) With your two new images and with the NetBSD PRs that you mentioned, it looks like both you and NetBSD itself successfully have moved beyond the inodes issue. Normally I would try to read up on the issue before asking a question, but, maybe…
  • Looks like the info on how to build NetBSD from source is in Part VI of the NetBSD Guide.
  • Hello! Ubuntu's been wanting to update cloud-init for a few days, so I ran the update: Unpacking cloud-init (24.3.1-0ubuntu0~22.04.1) over (24.2-0ubuntu1~22.04.1) ... Please let me know about any issues. Thanks! Thanks to @crunchbits for beautif…
  • Next up for me might be reading about how to compile all of NetBSD from source, getting the sources (probably with CVS) and trying the compile. I am thinking of trying with my present install based on @cmeerw's previous image. I think it's been . .…
  • (Quote) Haha! I didn't get that far. I was thinking of putting the about-to-be-posted content into a file and running something like sed -i 's/^/>! /g' file and then copy/pasting the result. Your suggestion is a lot easier! So, thanks for your ki…
  • Rerunning the command which produced the ptyfsoldnodes failure seems to succeed after the reboot. (Spoiler)

  • Thanks for asking for spoiler tags! I had been thinking about doing that! It is a lot of output. :)

  • Here is the output from running sysupgrade auto. Probably I should run the fix given at the end for the failed postinstall checks. What about the lines that say "[1] Bad system call (core dumped) /usr/sbin/etcupdate -a -l ${sflags}" …
  • (Quote) Suppose I try following @cmeerw's kind instructions for running sysupgrade on my presently installed VM -- in other words, not yet the newly updated @cmeerw image which he just mentioned above. * Start by installing sysupgrade: linveo# dat…
  • (Quote) Thanks @cmeerw! This is great because it permits Linux users everywhere to have easy access to NetBSD. Plus also, NetBSD fans easily can run NetBSD in lots of inexpensive cloud environments, as long as providers like Linveo are kind enough t…
  • (Quote) Thanks @cmeerw! <3 Not so much that I want to rebuild everything from source. It's mainly that I can rebuild everything from source. And I'm not sure that I can rebuild everything until I actually do rebuild everything. Once the rebuild …
  • (Quote) ROTFL! I really like that fine guys like @cmeerw catch my many mistakes! That's great! <3 The language @cmeerw quoted appears in both the NetBSD packages collection documentation at https://www.netbsd.org/docs/software/packages.html and…
