ANOKNUSA is correct, the CURRENT branch of FreeBSD is not supported on the forums at all: Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions. Having said that, if you install the CURRENT branch to test by either upgrading from the 10 branch from sources using SVN or install from an available CURRENT...

I would even go so far as to suggest upgrading to 10.3-RELEASE as the 9 branch is EOL in December of this year.

I'm a little late to the party, however, if you want a light stacking window manager as well as include a panel with an application menu button, taskbar, and pager might I suggest trying x11/openbox with x11-wm/xfce4-panel. The dependencies for x11-wm/xfce4-panel(x11-toolkits/gtk20, etc) should...

Did you mean to say you installed the applications from ports?

Hi. Which MPD client are you using to control audio/musicpd? Not all clients support cue files correctly and some not at all.

It's definitely not a Synth problem. databases/p5-DBD-mysql requires libmysqlclient.so.18 which is a library specific to the databases/mysql56-client port, hence the version clash. You could file a bug as you suggested above(recommended), or ask the maintainer of databases/p5-DBD-mysql to...

Ignoring user preferences/opinion, they are a status symbol even in the U.S.

I have never used ports-mgmt/portdowngrade myself, though a quick peek on FreshPorts lists devel/subversion as a hard dependency. I would expect then it was updated to work with Subversion.

Does the machine use BIOS or UEFI? In either case, are there any options for USB?

It may be able to be ported if you or someone else was willing and knowledgeable enough to do the work to port it.

Yes, all the various VirtualBox ports. There may be a few more ports, but I don't recall at the moment.

The notebook includes an Intel Haswell CPU and uses Nvidia Optimus hybrid graphics according to the spec sheet. Not surprising as it's a gaming notebook. Unfortunately, Haswell graphics are almost but not quite yet supported(IIRC, it's mostly working in 11-CURRENT but not 10.3-RELEASE or...

A quick Google search shows the mouse not working under Linux correctly as well. The posts I skimmed were a few years old so not sure if that is still the case. As an alternative, you could try setting up the sysutils/uhidd port to work with it. You might have better results.

As SirDice stated/quoted, there is zero support for FreeBSD CURRENT in any capacity anywhere here on the forums. Having said that, I've ran into this also on 10-STABLE in the past when trying to build ports with Poudriere on VirtualBox. I know this doesn't help, but I gave up trying to...

If your bored, you could always go talk to the management about using FreeBSD on their hotel network. ;)

What is the make and model of the laptop? Has the BIOS firmware been updated to the latest version released by the manufacturer of the laptop?

teo's posts look common to someone using a language translator. Translators work OK for very basic communication but can become quite unreliable very quickly in a more focused technical discussion. If that is the case here, maybe he could ask a friend to translate from his native language to...

Unless that's changed in the last couple of months, it clears everything. It's what I use to clear a disk that used ZFS when I intend to re-partition it. Further information: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-June/073762.html

Possibly, but since this isn't a Canonical project I can't see that happening here. :) If Canonical were to become interested in this though for whatever reason, that could be a possibility I would think.

There is, but it's taking more and more effort to find it over time. We're kind of veering off topic here though. Lets all try to keep on track. I'm guilty of this in this thread as well.
