    i915 GPU hang on FreeBSD 13

    OK - I will try this (first with "DRI 2" and then "DRI 1") soon and report back. However, a new version of graphics/drm-kmod (specifically, in my case graphics/drm-fbsd13-kmod and graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod) has recently landed in the quarterly repo, so I will try this for a few days and see...

    i915 GPU hang on FreeBSD 13

    Thank you. So if I have understood the manual correctly, this is what you mean? In /usr/local/etc/Xorg/xorg.conf.d/DRI.conf: Section "DRI" Option "DRI" "1" EndSection

    i915 GPU hang on FreeBSD 13

    Hi all, My computer freezes during graphical sessions with a "GPU hang" message at least once a day: drmn0: Resetting chip for hang on rcs0 First my graphical application freezes, then the mouse freezes, then I get a black screen with a cursor in the middle, and so far have been unable to...

    Does that mean you have the web versions of both Skype and Teams working with Chromium (including webcam, microphone, etc.)?

    PF PF firewall pf.conf Review

    Thank you all. As you can tell, I'm a networking novice and so your help is greatly appreciated. Correct! I don't! But, I need help, and rightly or wrongly, I assume forum members who spend so many hours of their lives helping out others have good intentions, or at least don't want to ruin...

    PF PF firewall pf.conf Review

    Hi all, Could somebody with some knowledge and experience have a look at my pf.conf before I start using it, to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid with it? I am using FreeBSD 12.2 on a laptop connected via wifi to my ISP router and the VPN provided for work. I am using OpenVPN and...

    i915kms package breaks on 12.2-RELEASE (workaround - build from ports)

    I agree with many of the users here: it is unfortunate that FreeBSD has this ABI problem (but understandable), and the solution was simple enough. However, the problem should have been communicated clearly, in advance, through the Release Notes, Errata and/or UPDATING. I read them all before...

    i915kms package breaks on 12.2-RELEASE (workaround - build from ports)

    @ SirDice - I have to agree with some of the others here. While the "fix" is not that complicated, it is nonetheless not good enough. ... Again, it's not a show-stopper, but it would only be considered a "minor inconvenience" if it was clearly communicated beforehand, with a "solution"...

    Two SSDs, two full installations with GELI encrypted ZFS on Root?

    Update: I tried installing ZFS on Root on both my regular SSD, and an m-sata SSD. I used different pool names, and different passwords. It still didn't work; no matter which drive I tried to boot from, and no matter which GELI password I provided, the system asked for both passwords and would...

    Two SSDs, two full installations with GELI encrypted ZFS on Root?

    Well, if nothing else seems pertinent, I will back up my stuff, then give it a go.

    Two SSDs, two full installations with GELI encrypted ZFS on Root?

    Hi, Before I mess things up completely, I thought I'd ask: I have a laptop with one SSD (FreeBSD, encrypted ZFS on Root - works fine), and I would like to add a second SSD in my spare mSATA slot as a backup (also full FreeBSD installation, with encrypted ZFS on Root). I would simply like to...

    updating Moodle28 to Moodle31 - php-xmlreader error

    I would also second this: I updated Moodle via pkg, without any problems. Just back up / copy, edit, etc. all data and config files as necessary, and it is good to go ;)

    Play electric guitar

    I don't play guitar, but I think you might like to look into something like this, this, this, or this. You can also pick up a second-hand USB audio interface pretty cheap on ebay, and give it a try. I know people who have used them to play / record guitar on on BSD / Linux, and they are...

    Diameter of jumper cable wires

    Check out wire sizes HERE. Then buy yourself some wire, or a bunch of different wires, because they always come in handy ;)

    What should I buy to add audio record/playback to my computer?

    I'm a bit late, but in case anyone cares: For work I must often record various multimedia (video / audio) and have found that the Behringer UMC HD range of audio inputs is decent for the money. I know Behringer gets shit on a lot, but since their acquisition of Midas, I think the quality has...

    Diameter of jumper cable wires

    I'm not aware of the specifics of your case, but as far as I'm aware, there should be no problem to simply try different jumper cables with different diameters / cross sectional areas. I've had to do so in the past, even making my own, and so far, no problems ;)

    My last post

    As the "Ubuntu gamer wannabe FreeBSD desktop user" in question, I must say I'm joyed to see this mistake of mine brought up again :) While Oko's occasional insults (see above), mistakes, biases, etc., may grate from time to time, the guy obviously spends more time here than most of us, and has...
