For some reason, this one always puts me in a good mood. Rod Stewart, featuring The Temptations, The Motown Song. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EzV-S5nXlw

I just quickly installed a GhostBSD VM to see for myself and yes, it does seem as if it only has fcitx with qt5. Any chance of you trying fcitx5? (For those annoyed about this being GhostBSD, it seems the package sets are the same as regular FreeBSD but I think most of us on this thread are...

What is the result of lpstat -p? That should list any available printers. For example, I have one printer, which I call BrotherMFC. If I run cupsd, and the printer is not on, I get printer BrotherMFC is idle. enabled since Tue Feb 10 13:14:43 2026 If I turn on the printer I get the same...

With fcitx5 I'm able to (well, only tested on labwc with featherpad) able to get Japanese input on labwc with featherpad) so I think one might be able to get qt app Japanese on Wayland. I ran a pretty limited test though, just opened featherpad and typed the word 日本語 and quit featherpad but it...

Sounds as if you're using the older fcitx rather than fcitx5. (I think FreeBSD only has mozc with fcitx, and with fcitx5 you have to use anthy) To quote my own page https://srobb.net/jpninpt.html about FreeBSD and fcitx (as opposed to fcitx5

It should show in the cups web page. From the link fernandel gave

I'm going to mark this solved. Those of you who use tint2 have probably noticed it's been updated to 2.17.

You would not kload it. Once it's installed if you run startx, then X should start. You might be better off with vm-bhyve, which automates some of it. Then you could use a template like loader="uefi" graphics="yes" xhci_mouse="yes" cpu=1 memory=2048M network0_type="virtio-net"...

It shouldn't be necessary. I see from another post that you're not using vm-bhyve, which is all I'm familiar with, but at any rate, to get X running on a FreeBSD VM, I install xorg-server, xf86-input-libinput, xf86-video-scfb xinit (which provides startx), then a window manager, alacritty...

In my case, I have to install xf86-video-scfb to get video.

I actually combatted an earlier price range by lowering my speed. I forget the figures, but the lessening of speed didn't have any noticeable effect. As we all know in the US, there's no real competition. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ilMx7k7mso from 12 years ago is still true. In...

Yes, they (spectrum) just raised our rate. (NYC). However, my wife has realized she doesn't use the TV, so we'll be able to save a bit by getting rid of that part of it.

Not sure it will work. I *think* you need an ISO file. If I understand your post, you will only have a console, no GUI.

I don't know if it's still around but there's also Nomad BSD which is meant to go on a USB stick. It uses openbox, a more minimalistic window manager. But glancing again over the thread, I think I'd agree with many here. There's a ton of Linux live editions and trying any that catch your eye...

Well, the one I just did was on a fresh install, and I hadn't chosen to install sources, so I'm guessing it was. Sorry you had trouble, and thanks for sharing your issue. I'm going to add it on my page.

Hi, I just installed a 14.3 VM and when I ran gitup, after editing my /usr/local/etc/gitup.conf so that release read 15.0, I was able to run gitup release without a problem. It may have been a temporary glitch that bxbzq ran into.

As the originator of the thread, you can mark it Solved by editing the first post in the thread if you wish to do so.

I've only run into this on Linux, and I think it was with firefox esr, though my memory is hazy. I see that I have the x265 package installed on this machine and the only other x265 package I see is gstreamer1-plugins-x265. I use mpv and have no trouble. I would try installing the x265 package...

Generally #freebsd is relatively quiet though it will have around 700 people on. Keep in mind that many are just logged on and not watching, but in my experience, if you have a reasonable question, you'll get an answer fairly quickly.

Both vermaden and myself have pages. vermaden's is better, but my page has a link to his. Maybe one, or both of them could help. My page is https://srobb.net/vm-bhyve.html and the link to vermaden's page is https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2023/08/18/freebsd-bhyve-virtualization/ I would try...
