Just a quick heads up, in the following page about installing a newer GCC for ports compilation ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html ), should the following: libgcc_s.so.1 gcc44/libgcc_s.so.1 libgomp.so.1 gcc44/libgomp.so.1 libobjc.so.3 gcc44/libobjc.so.2...

My previous installation of 8.2-RELEASE was ZFS on root, using the guide on http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS. I will probably leave the default installation partitions of ZFS+UFS for now until I muck around some more. Is there any disadvantages to having a ZFS-UFS partition scheme, in...

Just installed last night, clean install to a laptop. I was pleasantly surprised that the new installer installs the base system to UFS and the rest of usr/local to ZFS. Is there anyway to install the entire system to ZFS without UFS with the default installer? Otherwise nice work devs! I...

Maybe the question should be reversed: Which company supports FreeBSD. FreeBSD will run Xorg on any hardware, but for hardware accelerated openGL, my bias is towards Nvidia's favor. I usually modify my Makefile in /X11/nvidia-driver to the most recent driver version on the Nvidia webpage and...

I highly doubt open source drivers will ever be available, but over the past year I have noticed a increasingly faster driver release schedule from Nvidia. Going back before the 2xx.xx series of drivers, Nvidia would usually release a update every 3-6 months. This past year though it seems a new...

+1 for opera; dare I say it, but it is the browser equivalent to FreeBSD

Thanks, I now have flash running inside a jail!

Best of luck to you man; here is some Ben Folds to cheer you up: Ben Fold's Army Song

Wow that is kinda sad to hear. It is good PR when a large (and occasionally successful) company uses 'free' software; kinda real world proof of concept that the stuff works well enough for a company that is interested in profitability to trust it. Any other high profile companies publicly use...

I am a complete n00b at FreeBSD; but I prefer it the way it was engineered. Ease of use and power rarely go together. Why isn't everyone a world class athlete? Or cello player? Or martial artist? Most people drive automatic transmission cars; but can they drive a track course in their...

I am running xfce4 from a jail and accessing it with xnest. Is there a way to get audio working from inside the jail?

I have been trying to get a desktop environment in a jail for the past 2 weeks. I want to run my desktop (kde, openoffice, opera browser, rtorrent) inside a jail. I have installed FreeBSD 8.2 release 64 bit by this method: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot I then installed x11/xorg...

Opera here; no problems on DWM (havent tried KDE )

I should have stated this earlier: I want to run my desktop in a jail. Does anyone know a good guide for this? I am guessing what needs to be done: 1) Install x11/nvidia-driver on the host 2) Install x11/xorg on the host 3) Install x11/Xnest in the jail 4) Enter the jail via ssh 5) Install/run...

I am setting up a jail for desktop use and I want to install x11/nvidia-driver inside the jail. The jail was created with ezjail. Within the jail I attempt to install the nvidia driver from ports: c_desktop# make install clean ===> Building for nvidia-driver-256.53_1 ===> src (all)...

Maybe the lack of GPT is causing an issue. I just installed 8.2 amd64 last week, using this guide for a single disk GPT install and it works fine: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot

Thanks, I just wound up building the world for the ground up. I think my sources didn't copy over when I was creating the zfs filesystem.

I just installed 8.2 Stable amd64 using this guide to install a root on ZFS with GPT: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot I wanted to create a jail to run as a desktop environment (web browsing, media, libreoffice), so I then: portsnap fetch portsnap extract portsnap update cd...

Quick newbie question: can you burn an install DVD directly from a .iso.xz withgrowisofs ?

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=setxkbmap&sektion=1&manpath=X11R7.4 This might work, but I havent tried it (I switch between setxkbmap dvorak/us) setxkbmap -model pc102 -layout us_intl
