Re: What is you motivational to use OpenBSD

2019-09-03 Thread Normen Wohner
That is a long story, I first switched to BSD around 2010, I was just a kid with a Netbook running on a VIA C7-M. I was pissed at lack of open source drivers and wanted to code my own for the on board graphics. The Ubuntu and general Linux boards back then where full of script kiddies ridiculing an

GMA500 drivers

2019-03-24 Thread Normen Wohner
I have now successfully installed OpenBSD on my Netbook, however Graphics performance is abysmal. I know that sadly Linux uses binary blobs for the GMA500 as it is a licensed Powervr chip. Any idea on how to "maybe" get faster graphics working? I'm willing to do the legwork.

starting i3 with xenodm

2019-03-27 Thread Normen Wohner
I installed i3 with pkg_add, yet don't understand how to call it from xenodm. I tried replacing the stock ${exec_path}/bin/fvwm with /usr/local/bin/i3 inside xenodm's Xsession, but that didn't help much. I then wrote the typical exec i3 into .xinitrc in my /root nothing. Anybody here using i3?

Troubleshooting FDE with SD Card Reader

2019-03-29 Thread Normen Wohner
I cannot use my SD Reader for keydisk purposes. It does show up in dmesg and should be there on boot. Since my SD reader is bundled with a Sony MemoryStick reader I see them both coming up when I plug in the SD Card. The MS umass shows first on sd0 even if empty so the SD gets pushed to sd1. Shoul

Seeing that OpenBSD comes secure out of the Box the most likely thing is that you yourself compromised your System through 3rd party software. If it even is the case. I think the best course of action would be to go for a forensic approach. Google how to log ssh traffic and where to find the logs.

Did you try setting the $DISPLAY? In the past I had situations where ssh starts DISPLAY=:1 if there is already a session running on the server. Also sometimes I had to specify DISPLAY=:0. Would be news to me that Open has issues with this however On May 12, 2019, at 11:27, Roger Marsh wrote:
