    Solved Switching from xfce to console and back

    ... as to why that is the case: the X session attaches to the first unused virtual console, and since FreeBSD has eight active virtual consoles by default, that will be the ninth (check /etc/ttys).

    Which desktop do you run on freebsd/linux

    Over the years I've gone more and more minimalist, so that may explain why I barely noticed the switch. That and maybe having a single-screen setup. As I understand it, there has been some work done related to multihead systems. Fair enough. For me, it's the opposite. I like it when developers...

    Firefox to go full AI with new CEO

    Ladybird is rapidly evolving and the FreeBSD port isn't catching up. It has no maintainer and hasn't been updated in more than a year. The former maintainer said this before throwing in the towel: This unfortunately doesn't bode well for the future of Ladybird on FreeBSD.

    Firefox to go full AI with new CEO

    I was very interested in NetSurf... like a decade ago. It sounded promising for a while. But this isn't the late 90s/early 2000s with its text-wall websites and flashy gifs static content. Not supporting modern standards nowadays means a completely broken web. Plain and simple. Ladybird seems to...

    Firefox to go full AI with new CEO

    What exactly are you talking about? His former addiction? "Former" is the keyword here. If anything, it shows his resilience and strength of character. From what I've gleaned by listening to interviews with him and to his own content, he also seems smart and competent. There has been an...

    Merging files

    Bot or human? You never know these days... So what's the question, exactly? Do you know how to use vi? Merging files during an upgrade is straightforward. The script compares your files with the stock files it has downloaded and when it finds a difference (which is a given for...

    copy 'n paste in ee

    It works fine here, even between vi under a terminal emulator and a graphical text editor. Just make sure you're in insert mode (press 'i') before, or it will paste only a part of the selected text.

    DRM failure on 15.0

    The first phase (freebsd-update upgrade ...) only checks your current system and fetches the required patches, but doesn't touch your system at all. It requires a connection and can safely be done in a multi-user environment, even from a terminal emulator under X.

    Slow boot - USB

    Slow boot - USB

    It's most likely a faulty device or connection. But just to be sure... Have you tried disconnecting everything connected via USB (memory sticks, harddrives, mice, Wi-Fi/Ethernet dongles) and restarting the machine? Is this a system you've just installed recently or an older system where...

    Solved startx fails with "no screens found"

    PCUser, you're replying to a year-old thread. Nowadays, the best advice when it comes to Xorg is to keep it without any configuration file at all, unless you're having an issue or you need to set some specific settings.
