Okay, I got the second HDD, installed FreeBSD on it, reinstalled my broken Windows 8.1 on the first HDD, then I could just switch between the two HDDs in the UEFI boot menu which can be brought up during computer start by pressing F8. Wonderful! By the way, I found out that if I disabled Fast...

Hi, No I tried to install both systems on the same disk. But sounds like a good idea to put FreeBSD to a separate disk. My UEFI BIOS does have a boot selection menu thing I just didn't know if I could also access it with F8. Thanks for the quick response!

Hi, Formerly a Windows 7 with regular partitioning scheme (MBR) did not cause such a headache as it does now. I got a UEFI BIOS with a typical Windows 8.1 installation, plus FreeBSD 10.1 from a standard FreeBSD GPT installation. However, I can't find a way to make dual booting work. I can...

Hi junovitch, Yes, I can assure you I had put the following line into sysctl.conf long before I attempted to try out USB storages on it (I had also set it on command line so I hadn't had to reboot): vfs.usermount=1 Anyway, thanks for replying.

Great, I'll go with failok, thank you!

Well if there is no such solution yet, I can accept this one (written into /etc/fstab): /dev/da0s1 /mnt/Data ntfs rw,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0 The down-side of this approach is that if it's booted at system start up, like it is set now, and the USB hard drive...

Hi, The following command works as root: ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /media/Data However, I would like to auto-mount this drive using HAL in my MATE desktop as a regular user. How can I make that work? (UBS pendrives work fine, I can mount and unmount them just fine.) If this helps, the following...

Hi All, I have an LG G2 phone that can share its mobile internet via USB tethering. FreeBSD 9.3 recognizes it, but does not automatically obtain an IP address via DHCP and set it to the default route when I enable USB tethering on my device. Is there any way to do that? Just like under Windows...

Hi @studyete, I am not 100% sure but I think those variable values should be specified with a character encoding as you can see from the pasted locale -a output. Ie. take one of en_US.ISO8859-1 en_US.ISO8859-15 en_US.US-ASCII en_US.UTF-8 and then configure LANG (and maybe LC_ALL too depending...

Problem solved! I guess now I should write some comments for people finding themselves in a similar situation. :) I did more changes in my PPP config than one so I cannot really tell which one really fixed it, but I enabled the following in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: nat enable yes nat same_ports...

Yeah you've just given me a very good idea, ie. the problem does not seem to be with DNS anymore but the traffic routing. Because if I try to open http://8.8.178.110 in my browser I should see a response but nothing comes back. I'll go investigate with tcpdump, thanks.

Hi @SirDice, Yes that is exactly what I have in /etc/rc.conf. Thanks for your reply though.

Hi all, I've tried to configure a forward-only DNS server to operate on my LAN, for internet-sharing purposes. I tried both BIND 9.8.4-P2 (on FreeBSD 9.2 with standard kernel), and dnsmasq from ports as well. No matter which one I picked, I could not browse the web on other computers of my LAN...

Unfortunately I don't think so. But thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the answers, The only problem with the pipe feature of ipfw is that it requires me to configure the max bandwidth. However, our max bandwidth is not constant for two reasons: our ISP provides a guaranteed bandwidth and a maximal bandwidth, which are often not the same, we...

Hi all, I would like to do the following: Normally, let everyone do anything without any bandwidth limitation. If there is traffic on a certain port, it has to be guaranteed certain minimal bandwidth Is that doable with one of the firewall solutions in FreeBSD? I would prefer ipfw but...

Hi @mav@, Checked BIOS, indeed it was on AC97, selected HD. Did not help. Then I forced misc=0, and it still did not help. I guess that's it for this motherboard then. :) Below is the difference of verbose logs: when I only change the front panel to HD, when I also force misc=0, ---...

Hope this helps identifying those videos: In my experience, without the mentioned workaround, videos that are only available in 240p resolution could be played without any problems, the rest (ie. ones also available in HD resolutions did not work for me.

Thank you, @mav@. In short, I am very close to what I wanted. I have written the following in /boot/device.hints: hint.hdaa.1.nid20.config="as=2 seq=0" hint.hdaa.1.nid27.config="as=2 seq=15" hint.hdaa.1.nid24.config="as=4 seq=0" hint.hdaa.1.nid25.config="as=4 seq=15"...

Hi all, I used to be able to solve such problems, but now I've got this P8Z77-V LX2 motherboard on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE and the old methods do not seem to work here... Right now the rear (green) line-out is plugged to my loudspeakers, which I can successfully use to play sounds, and I have a...
