Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm just trying to get confortable with FreeBSD before going deep into porting software. What I'm compiling is really too complicated (too many Makefiles, compiler options, links etc...) for me at the moment. Also, I should've read the manual more carefully...

Hello everybody, I've been having a hard time understanding how the compilers work. Here is my problem: I got a software that I have to build from source and that was designed for Linux. Problem is: it will only compile with gcc and not clang. After configuring the environmental variables...

Hello everybody, I've been trying to make UEFI booting work on my Thinkpad T420. My goal is (as I had previously with BIOS) to boot freebsd from a USB flash drive with my laptop hard drive encrypted. The T420 is able to boot using UEFI if FreeBSD is installed entirely on the HDD (ada0) or the...

Re: FreeBSD 10 ; Network printer and LPR Thank you very much! I removed those two lines instead of commenting them (which makes a lot of sense because of the "\") and now, it's printing.

Re: FreeBSD 10 ; Network printer and LPR Thank you very much. Your command is working and the text file is printed out. However, even after commenting the line with the ppd file (which, in fact, has to be use with CUPS so I won't use it after all) and the one with apsfilter, printer still...

Hello everybody! I'm trying to set up my network printer (HP Officejet 6700 premium) on FreeBSD 10. Basically, I've got a router and I'm connected to it by ethernet. The printer is on WIFI. I've installed temporarily print/hplip to get the correct .ppd file. Here are my configured files...

That's working! Thanks a lot.

Hello everybody, I've been trying for days now to get ftp working while using pf. I got it working about three days ago but every time I reboot my computer, I need to reload the rules via pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf to be able to access FreeBSD FTP. Here are the corresponding lines in /etc/rc.conf...

Hello again, With the newfs labels, it doesn't seem to work anymore, when using a USB key. I got the same error as before with mountroot> and when I type ?, partitions as /dev/ufs/{rootfs, varfs, usrfs or homefs} aren't shown. Could you help me find why? Also, why not use newfs but glabel for...

Thanks a lot. I had a typo in the "vfs entry". (/dev/thinkpad.elia instead of /dev/label/thinkpad.elia) Now, it works with a USB key. I'm still trying on getting the SD card to work. I think my thinkpad doesn't support that feature but my other computer does so ... still working on it. I'll...

Thank you very much. For the SD Card, I thought there was a way to get them bootable but if there isn't, I'll stay with my USB. I'm still very new to freebsd and I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "using FFS labels instead of GEOM ones". By the way, I just tried again this method with...

Hello everybody, I'm trying to reinstall FreeBSD on a Thinkpad T420 (I'm not planning on using GPT since it doesn't work on this Laptop), with full disk encryption + a 32GB mmcsd Card (for the moment, until I get my 1gb SD card) with the /boot partition. I used those 2 "tutorials": 1) HOWTO...

Hello everybody, I've just finished compiling my new FreeBSD system yesterday (following FreeBSD 9 Stable) and I'm now starting installing again everything from ports. Emacs 24.2,3 wasn't starting on X11 (Gedit was working correctly even though there were some warnings on the Terminal...

Hello, Any news about this issue? I'm planning on buying a T420/420s but I'd like to know if the problem is solved or will be solved in the near future. Thanks a lot, PS: Just a quick question: Is there any other "big" problem with the T520 and FreeBSD?

Hello, happy new year and thank you for your reply! The problem with the Lenovo T series is that there seems to be a lot of problems with FreeBSD 9 (with boot, GPT or something like that). However, if somebody can confirm that there is no problem (anymore) with the Lenovo T420s (or any other...

Hi everybody, I'm gonna buy a laptop pretty soon and I'd like to have your advices on whether FreeBSD will be supported or not. (I'm not planning on using any other OS than FreeBSD so this is a laptop FOR FreeBSD only and as I would like to keep it some time, I have to choose the right one)...

I forgot something: When lang=en_US.ISO8859 in /etc/login.conf, the output of locale is the same as before, except that instead of UTF-8 there is ISO8859-15.

Hello, Well, I've just discovered that Firefox title bar and Awesome WM Run command aren't the only problem I have. The vi editor doesn't display the accented characters either. Here is what I have in vi when typing " é ": \xc3\xa9 Here we go: locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"...

Hi, thanks. I already tried this. However I'd like to keep FreeBSD in English. But anyway, where there is ISO8859-15, everything works fine except in X mode, using firefox. When using UTF-8 (no matter what language is used), everything works fine in X mode, even firefox title bar. But in...

Thanks very much. I tried this solution but it's still not working. What I don't understand is that: * In console mode, with the ISO8859-15, accented characters are displayed correctly. * In X mode, with ISO8859-15 or UTF-8 in .../hal/fdi/policy/x11-input, accented characters work everywhere...
