    How to mount ext4 correctly on FreeBSD?

    pkg install fusefs-ext2 kldload fuse fuse-ext2 /dev/nda0p4 /mnt The first line, only if you don't yet have fuse-ext2 installed. I don't have a Linux partition to check right now, but I'm pretty sure that will mount it read-only. It requires root, sudo, or doas. Even though it says ext2, it...

    That seems accurate to me. I think that might be their aim, not to make a new form of FreeBSD, but to make an easy for the inexperienced to use version of FreeBSD. (That's just my opinion).

    To be expected compile time of ports.

    I do remember the old joke about the guy who works on Windows copy dialogs on the phone with his wife, "I'll be home for dinner in 10 minutes..no, make that 5 minutes--no, make that two hours" I also vaguely remember an old Linux from Scratch book where they took a package as the baseline...

    Solved Services not starting in jail

    That was it! Many thanks, I'll mark this solved. I suspect that local_startup got messed up because the jail was moved. I'd had it in one spot, then had a crash. The jail was on a separate, unaffected drive, and I wound up changing the mountpoint. Adding that line to /etc/rc.conf fixed things.

    Solved Services not starting in jail

    It's correctly typed. I also have apache installed, (I was testing), and have the same issue. Both give the message about not existing in /etc/rc.d or the local startup. I tried your suggestion of moving the /etc/rc.conf.d/nginx to /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d, but no luck. I still get the same...

    Solved Services not starting in jail

    Yes, I'm sorry, I thought I'd answered that. 申し訳ありません。(Sorry, just got off the phone with my wife, who's in Tokyo till Monday). Anyway, yes the file is right there in the jail's /usr/local/etc/rc.d. As mentioned, I can start it with (in the jail) cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d; ./ngninx start

    Solved Services not starting in jail

    Thanks for the suggestions. The pkg is installed in the jail, but I didn't know the pkg -j option, so I learned something. The rc.conf.d in the jail reads nginx_enable="YES" Running the service -j <jailname> nginx start just gives the same message as mentioned before nginx does not exist in...

    Sometime I can't play any videos in any browser from youtube and always from different streaming video websites.

    Just a guess because this happened to me trying Wayland with Fedora. If I remember correctly, you're using Wayland. Is that when this started? If so, you can try changing your XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to something like $HOME/.cache/run. Again just a guess and it happened to me on Linux, not FreeBSD...

    Solved Services not starting in jail

    Sorry I never got back on this. Yes, that was a typo on my part, it was in rc.conf correctly.

    have dma send mail to maildrop

    Yeah, that was my experience too. Formerly, I ran postfix and it handed it off to the MDA. I don't think I can specify maildrop as my SMARTHOST. I'm not using NULLCLIENT as far as I know--I did nothing to set it up.

    have dma send mail to maildrop

    Thanks for answering, and a good question. But yes, the mailer.conf file points to dma by default, that is, I did nothing to configure it but that's what it reads.

    have dma send mail to maildrop

    For a long time, I had postfix as my mailer, at one point running a small email server, but often just sending mail. In a recent install, I left my mailer at the default of dma. This is a minor issue, but I can't find anything that tells me how to do it. When I ran postfix, in my...

    fcitx5-anthy and libreoffice

    Pft, thanks. Not yet wide awake. I've fixed my post, but yes, I did mistype my original post, I did type fcitx5-mozc. Sorry for any confusion.

    Yes, I didn't mount the drives, but they showed as available. (Maybe automounted? I'm not a MInt expert.) As you say, we should keep on topic, and at this point, I would just say it might be a nice introduction to FreeBSD for the less experienced.

    fcitx5-anthy and libreoffice

    My original post had me mistyping fcitx5-mozc where I meant fcitx5-anthy. I've fixed it, but no, there isn't, as of March 9, 2024, a ja-fcitx5-mozc, only anthy. So, I've fixed this post, but T-Aoki was correct, my original said fcitx5-mozc. Well, had to do a reinstall on my main workstation...

    Ah, ok, I should have mounted the other drives, I was just doing a quick check. However, in contrast, a LinuxMint live CD shows all other drives on the system. Not that either way is necessarily better, just that something more Mintlike was what I was expecting.

    Solved panel for Openbox

    I can't duplicate your issues with tint2, it still works well for me. There is a pkg fbpanel which I think was designed for fluxbox. I haven't tried it, but i probably do different things than you so I don't get those type of errors. (I mostly use dwm without a panel, but when I do use openbox...

    I'm just going to add one more thing for web searchers who come across this thread. Upon booting the installer, I get a GUI desktop, but it doesn't show other drives on the system, and doesn't see (though I didn't reseach too deeply) to be used as a live CD as opposed to an installer.

    Ok, had some time, so tried with the latest. This one worked without problem, booting into the GUI.

    It happened while using the live CD. It was an older version 23.10. As I said, I was trying to rescue files, and was able to do so later, with a FreeBSD install USB, but maybe this weekend, I'll try with the latest version, if I have a chance. (No promises though, it may be a busy weekend.)
