    Solved How do I configure Grub2 to boot FreeBSD 11.1

    I was able to boot FreeBSD 12.1 via grub2 like this: Add the following to /etc/grub.d/40_custom: menuentry "FreeBSD" { set root=(hd0,9) # in my case ada0p9 chainloader /boot/loader.efi } Then run: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg And reboot. Enjoy.

    Unreal Engine 4.20 & 4.21 and beyond

    Yes, thank you :) malavon, are you aware of https://github.com/UE4-FreeBSD/UE4-FreeBSD (also see https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Compiling_For_FreeBSD )? Is it possible to somehow build the toolchain for Windows from your repo? Cross-compiling for FreeBSD would be awesome!

    Unreal Engine 4

    malavon, porting UE4 to FreeBSD is absolutely a fantastic idea! Thank you very much for doing this. I'm very interested in your work and no doubt many others are too! Do you realise how many games will potentially work on FreeBSD? This is awesome! I'm using UE4 for some hobby game development...

    HOWTO: keeping FreeBSD's base system and packages up-to-date

    You may want to try portrac to keep track of the port updates. It's a simple GUI tool that checks periodically if there are updates to the ports that are installed. I'd also love to get some feedback about the tool.

    FLAC playback with Juk

    Hi, I can't play FLAC files with Juk. Reading through this bug report: Apparently taglib works for me because I can load flac files and see their titles, etc. But when I hit "play" nothing happens. I only have gstreamer for backend and of course multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-good which...

    Dual-boot FreeBSD with GPT

    Guys I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. I'm talking about the FreeBSD boot manager AKA the boot0 boot manager AKA that thing that lets you choose what to boot by pressing one of the F keys e.g. F1 FreeBSD F2 FreeBSD F3 Win F5 Drive 1 So if you have a GPT disk and you try this: #...

    Why Should a Windows 7 user switch to FreeBSD?

    I'd put it like that: FreeBSD means freedom (see my signature). If you don't care about that, use windows and be imprisoned in your own operating system.

    Dual-boot FreeBSD with GPT

    Hi, I have two hard disks, one with FreeBSD (with legacy bsd labels) and one with windows7. I'd like to switch to GPT partitions but apparently the FreeBSD boot manager can't be used with GPT. Is there a mechanism that allows dual-booting FreeBSD with GPT? Is GRUB capable of doing that? If yes...

    KDE 4.6.1 power management problem

    Well when I enable moused this problem disappears. HAL doesn't forget about my mouse after X shutdown. Now I have moused + HAL + X and everything is working.

    KDE 4.6.1 power management problem

    I'm not sure how this worked before but it turned out that hald has to be running prior to starting X (KDE). And everything works, even without upower. A little off-topic: when I start hald it detects my mouse: hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/ums0 (hald-addon-mouse-sy) I start X and...

    KDE 4.6.1 power management problem

    Hi, I've deleted all my ports pkg_delete -a and then installed KDE 4.6.1. Right after I started it I found that power management doesn't work. The following error pops up KDE Power Management System could not be initialized. The backend reported the following error: No valid Power Management...

    ipfw: filtering layer2 and layer3

    This is the solution: 00010 allow ip from any to any MAC any 10:20:30:40:50:60 in via $INT_IF 00020 deny ip from any to any layer2 in via $INT_IF 00100 allow ip from any to any layer2 via $EXT_IF 01000 nat 1 ip from any to any via $EXT_IF 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 deny ip from any to any

    ipfw: filtering layer2 and layer3

    Hi, I want to create a simple gateway with NAT and I want MAC address (layer2) based access control. I have this for layer3: 01000 nat 1 ip from any to any via em0 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 deny ip from any to any which works. And when I set net.link.ether.ipfw to 1 this stops...

    spamd + ipfw

    Hi, I decided to try spamd to fight spam but I can't get it working with ipfw. I put the default config and added only "-m ipfw" to spamd. Of course it listens on port 8025 so I added this rule: ipfw add 100 fwd ${ext_ip},8025 tcp from any to ${ext_ip} 25 in And I have that: # ps ax |grep...

    Netbeans 6.9

    The reason why the new netbeans port came so late is because mister gahr is apparently really busy ... he maintains about 124 ports. I also needed the new version of netbeans so I asked him if is updating the port soon and he said it might take weeks and he let me send him a patch ... so I did...
