    Solved ACPI shutdown not working on AMD X399/Threadripper

    I have that problem too. A user called byuu wrote a patch for it in December 18, I don't know how far it has gotten. You can read the thread here...

    Solved lldb fails to create target

    I just went to try it on an 11.1 laptop, which has the same problem. In a strange turn I also found the solution, if I run the debugger with full path to the executable it runs fine. So lldb /usr/home/username/bin/sim --core sim.core Solves the problem. Hope that proves useful to others.

    Solved lldb fails to create target

    I have read the notes on unsupported versions. I am posting here to try and eliminate any obvious issues or stupidity on my part before I post to the mailing list. If that is inappropriate use of the forum, please kill the thread and I shall stick to the mailing list in future. Thanks.

    Solved lldb fails to create target

    I have been writing a simple simulator in C++ using the irrlicht engine. Trying to use modern FreeBSD, I have been trying to debug using lldb on 12-CURRENT. However, when I try and start the debugger with the following command. lldb sim --core sim.core I get this error message. (lldb) target...

    Which is your desktop environment?

    I switch between x11-wm/openbox and x11/lumina depending on whether or not I prefer GTK or Qt at the time of installation. Openbox has always been rock solid, but Lumina is offering an increasingly enticing user experience.

    Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260

    I have been using a Dell XPS 13 with an Intel 7260 Wifi chipset without problems. Apart from needed to ALT+F4 during installation to do kldload if_iwm Everything seems to work as usual on FreeBSD 11.

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    Just wanted to let everyone know, the problem was solved by updating the BIOS from version A07 to A08. Thanks for all your help! I'll report back how the machine works under FreeBSD, when I've had some time to work with it. So far I am very happy though.

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    The values do not seem to be in the usbdevs, will try to add them and rebuild. Unfortunately, I am also having some trouble with fatal firmware errors on the wireless adapter so it will take a little time to test. Thanks for your insights.

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    I thought turning the power on might make a difference, but the devices seem unrelated. ugen1.2 is a dell bluetooth device, ugen0.2 is on.

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    I wouldn't despair entirely. I have had no problems with FreeBSD neither on ZFS or UFS. I did try an installation of Dragonfly, but failed to get the network working, other than that it installed fine. I am sure you'll be fine if you can get your hardware working. Speaking of which, any ideas...

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    Alas, I have not yet had a chance to really work with the machine running FreeBSD and X11. What I can say is that the hardware is really nice and the build quality very good. It has one of my favourite recent keyboards. Also installing OpenBSD on it kills its ability to boot, and leaves you...

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    Thanks for the pointer, I already sent my info earlier in the testing cycle, and I was hoping to start using the laptop with FreeBSD on it. It would give me more chance to really work with it running the new drivers. I posted here since the touchpad issue is not really related to drm.

    Solved XPS13 Touchpad

    I have been trying to rebuild a Haswell based Dell XPS13 laptop, to help test the new Intel graphics drivers. Funnily enough the graphics seems to work beautifully, but the touchpad does not work. I am hope someone here has some advice on getting it to work? $ usbconfig ugen0.2: <Synaptics...

    How important is openness?

    Agreed, what I am asking is largely whether scientific process as a business model, has value on its own or only as a means to an end - to the people who read this forum. I agree with the supposition that openness is important to trust, and yet is is my experience that most asset managers are...

    How important is openness?

    Mentioning the license was a mistake, I was hoping to keep my question short(ish). Let me try again. I'll argue that the open source approach, regardless of license, produces more useful software than the closed approach. It comes about by people pitting their ideas and implementations against...

    How important is openness?

    In another thread it was asked why critical infrastructure was still trusted to Windows. I do not wish to rehash that question, but it makes me wonder, how important is openness to you? I have written banking software for about 15 years, and I used to think that the occasionally shoddy approach...

    Solved [SOLVED] BTX Halted when compiled with Clang

    I am running an aging server which has had no problems running FreeBSD since version 7. When I started running FreeBSD 9 things were fine, but I decided to test switching to llvm/clang as the compiler. Building world and kernel with clang works just fine, but after rebooting I get a BTX halted...

    Windows Server 2012 and FreeBSD features?

    Hi WinBSD I have no experience with Windows, having used only UNIX, BSDs and Linux. However, I wonder what features you think Windows offers, that make it worth developing for knowing it is backed by an abusive monopolist with a history of reliance on aggressive vendor lock-in as well as...
