Freebsd 15.1 not working as expected after updating.

Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have a desktop PC with Ryzen zen3 5500GT cpu and asus prime b450 motherboard. I have installed freebsd 15.1.

At first it worked fine but now it is not working.

After installing freebsd I have installed desktop environments like plasma cinnamon mate enlightenment and gnome.

I have updated the system after somedays.

I have followed the instructions related to freebsd installation.

After that I have installed cde desktop environment and in order to run google suggested to enable rpc in etc rc.conf and I have done.

In order to run lxtask task manager which requires proc file system I have added proc file system in etc fstab.


All of this done one month before.

At present I am unable to login to gnome desktop environment but I am able to login to cinnamon through sddm login manager.

Actually my system has realtek pci wifi adapter with chipset 8192ee and as it is not supported by freebsd I have used another realtek USB wifi adapter.

Previously my system was able to detect USB wifi adapter but at present when I run the following command it is showing as rtwn not urtwn

sysctl net.wlan.devices

Another issue is when I start cinnamon and issue a command like " sudo vim /etc/rc.conf" and after restart there is no such command in shell history.

I mean my system is not remembering what is done lost time.

Kindly try to suggest how to make my system work.

Regards,
Rupesh.
 
After entering username and password and selecting gnome and press enter I am getting back to sddm login manager.

Not only this there are a number of things which are not working.

Some of them are
1) unable to connect to internet through realtek wifi adapter
2) no shell command history after restart.
 
Hello Rupesh
shell history is provided by the shell you have chosen to use, if sh, csh, bash or zsh.
I recommend to start with bash if you're a begginer but zsh is my favorite for advanced customization and functions
# sudo pkg install bash
# chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
logout and login again and you should now have a bash shell with bash history

regarding your wifi, you may have to load driver at boot but as I've read it seems realtek is already supported.

Run
# pciconf -lv
and check if your card is there, should see something like
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
then if you're not comfortable yet to configure it manually you may try to run
# sudo bsdconfig wireless
ah, you may have to install sudo too
# pkg install sudo
# visudo
and uncommend the line
%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
your user must belong to wheel
# pw groupmod wheel -m your_username

if you don't want to use sudo you just run
# su -
# bsdconfig wireless

there's a lot information on the web
also chatgpt can help you even the free version is not so good but for simple settings it's able to help.
give it a try

freebsd setup is way different of linux, you may struggle using bluetooth, I just quit using bluetooth and use wired headsets instead.
