    FreeBSD stable 9 with options vimage -> kernel panic

    I wonder if the network card isn't supported properly for VIMAGE... seems that the OP has done all the right things, and if it's still panicking then I'd start thinking hardware. I have an Atheros card with 3 antennae and it will panic my system hardcore as soon as hostapd starts. It doesn't not...

    Are FreeBSD developers ever going to start focusing on user facing stuff?

    I have been a loyal FreeBSD user for well over a decade. Over the years, I've seen it go from a wealth of development on all kinds of things, to either stupid political arguments over GPL code, blatant denial of any work done towards a number of newer devices and options that should have been in...

    Lost command line usage on ports

    I had this problem too, I built my ruby to be minimalist and thus portupgrade is working, aside from the incessant errors of a corrupt pkgdb that fires in between every single lookup to it then the portsdb corrupt rebuilds that happen almost as often. But portupgrade is in fact rescuing my...

    System is going down when compiling FreeBSD

    Is it overheating?

    Need script to count earthquakes

    You have to use full paths, and you might want to make sure to check /usr/local/bin/ also. Third party installations from ports install with --prefix=/usr/local/ as opposed to Gentoo Linux which uses --prefix=/usr/.

    search ports

    I was about to suggest psearch but I see that would be a redundant act of redundancy.

    Unable to install perl from ports

    pkg_add -r perl then env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl-5.12.\* Replacing 5.12 with whatever version gets installed.

    Unable to install perl from ports

    What are the errors when you run env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f perl-5.12.\*? When I upgraded all my machines to 5.16 (some from 5.10, others 5.12) that command worked perfectly for me. I followed up with a portupgrade -facv which slapped all installed packages.. but it...

    Jailed desktop (full desktop environment inside a FreeBSD jail)

    Oh, my apologies, I was referring to searching the forum for getting VirtualBox working inside the jail. The presented ideas thus far with regard to XFCE are really your only options. I really recommend the Xvfb->VNC/RDP->XFCE method. It's quite easy and looks/feels just like the real thing.

    Jailed desktop (full desktop environment inside a FreeBSD jail)

    I think that's going to be alot more difficult that you think. You need to install VirtualBox's kmod in the host and getting the VirtualBox working in the jail after that is less than.... optimal. I had Arch Linux installed in a jailed VirtualBox instance but networking to the outside world...

    Jailed desktop (full desktop environment inside a FreeBSD jail)

    What I think he's getting at, is leaving the 'host' as barebones as possible, then installing within the jail, the full monty, X, Xfce and all the associated ancillary ports within the jail only. That said, you can do this, but you can't just set it up to do a startx and have ~/.xinitrc run...

    FreeBSD has been put on DMCA list

    Yea, that's just a lot of keyword returns. FreeBSD isn't infringing on anyone's Digital 'Rights'.
