WOW!!! (emotional) It works! Thanks avilla@ !!! P.S. Of course it is interesting to know more about it, but probably the forums are not the best place for these details. May I only humbly wonder what else can this setting affect?

Have you enabled linux emulation in the kernel? You need to load the linux.ko module kldload linux.ko or compile it into your kernel. There is also an option linux_enable in rc.conf.

In this very time, in another thread, http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=164228 there has been similar discussion. The guys just a little failed to achieve their goals in time. Probably, it would have been fair to leave bsdinstall out of RELEASE, until it matures. But the future seems...

bbzz, well, you know, life sucks. Now what are you going to do? :) I would not advise people to decide for others what sucks. And are you able to do something constructive 100% of your lifetime? I don't expect so. Nothing personal, but it is becoming a little boring to see irrelevant answers...

That's great. I must have missed that. Tried to find some more info: http://www.freebsdnews.net/2011/02/19/bsdinstall-freebsd-installer-sysinstall-pc-sysinstall/ Unfortunately, the team have not fulfilled their goal for the 9.0-RELEASE. Probably, had they, there'd have been much less complaining.

achix, you're mostly right. In some abstract case, a not working little thingy on say, FreeBSD is just another perfect reason to switch to say, Linux. I didn't write the post here to say, hey guys, you suck, it fails here and i'm moving away to Lin/Win/dustbin ... But there are many others, you...

My two pence: that would be really great if the FreeBSD developers take their time to test and approve the PC-BSD installer instead of spending their precious time developing a new installer from scratch. It is more effective to collaborate than do the same things separately, and obviously there...

No, that isn't too much. That was too much a couple of years ago, and now it has to be time for everything to work. :) Market economy, sir. When the price is the same, one prefers what works over what does not.

My system is FreeBSD 9 amd64, and KDE 4.7.3 installed from ports. A few days ago I wished to play a KDE game (say, KPatience) and launched it as a usual app, but... it opened an empty window. Exactly, the window has all usual decorations but its content is just gray background. I tried the other...

Having got the same chip bcm4313, having the same problem. But also having hope. :) The discussion in this thread: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=101093 - there is some activity :) Perhaps, the FreeBSD developers will notice the increased need for the bcm43** driver and include...

I've run into a really very interesting issue. When I do a csup (ports or sources) -- and I do that every day -- something happens to programs which play sound. For instance, play, XMMS and musicpd would occasionally abort playing current file and skip to next, and mpg123 would at all break and...

Another "bad c++ code" fail while building virtualbox-ose-3.2.8 While trying to upgrade an old virtualbox version to the fresh 3.2.8, first using portupgrade, then just using make, I run into the following error:...... kBuild: Installing tstVMMFork =>...

A long awaited thing. Thanks.

I did it! A little googling and voila, I managed to start GPRS over Bluetooth. This is the contents of ppp.conf which works with Tele2 in St.Petersburg Russia: default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) enable force-scripts set...

GPRS via Bluetooth, continued The conditions are almost the same: FreeBSD 8.0 i386, bluetooth USB dongle, Nokia 5800 phone, Tele2 GSM operator. The problem is that after executing CONNECT and logging in (with arbitrary login/password, because these are not required) PPP terminates without...

What if an installed port's newer version requires a new dependency port which is not installed? Will portupgrade -af automatically install the new dep or? In my practice, portupgrade -af never succeeded for all installed ports. I always had to at least manually reinstall things or sometimes do...

Agree. To make things clearer, I personally don't feel frustrated or whatever, I realize well that bugs can creep everywhere (I am a developer myself), I just wanted the developers of portupgrade to be informed. Oh, really I missed it: FreeBSD yntel 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0...

Yes, the last CODE area in my first post. It is an ArgumentError exception. Terminate with an exception is what I mean by "die". I do not have problems with dependencies. And whenever I had them I fixed them by pkgdb. Currently, pkgdb -F does not show any sign of disorder. I think the...

AFAIK, ext3 is just a journaled version of ext2. It is not obvious, though, whether FreeBSD's ext2fs(5) driver supports journaling on it, so in the worst case you may encounter FS inconsistencies when mounting from linux. (BTW, a bug/or feature? - the BBcode ext2fs doesn't seem to point to man...

I csup ports and rebuild index by portsdb on each boot. I think it is generally the same. I am sure that software just may not fail with an exception if it is written carefully. If there were something wrong on my behalf, the software must inform me of that, rather than die. An exception in a...
