this is so fantastic... I have two hard-drives: A has a UFS slice and a ZFS slice with FreeBSD 8.1 B has was a former FreeBSD drive, now holds one NTFS-partition and Windows XP ZFS cannot be mounted by Windows, so my only chance is to use FreeBSD for the transfer. But fdisk and...

A new year, and a new attempt to switch over to FreeBSD. And another fail... Again I have to realize, FreeBSD is still beta-stage when it comes to desktop usage. Here are some "advantages" of Linux / FreeBSD I have read about, and what I think... Linux/FreeBSD is open-source, full access...

Fair enough, if you want to localize the whole system. But I wan to keep my current (german) localization and at the same time, view my files with russian cyrillics. Haven't found anything in the docs though...

Morning... before I'll reinstall I wanted to ask for this issue, in case I need to think about something during installation: I cannot display filenames in cyrillics, in no application at all. System console comes up with question-marks, xterm displays some funny ascii-characters and even...

Short update: Will do rm -rf / now. Tried everything possible, the title remains valid, NONE OF THESE WORKS: - native Firefox 3.5 - native Firefox 3.6 - Opera - Linux Opera - wine version of Firefox 3.6 - wine version of Opera - Konqueror The only one that worked: Opera in a...

Ok, I am about to do rm -rf / now. Did a complete reinstall of the linux_base-f10 from ports, deleted /usr/compat/linux before, reinstalled nspluginwrapper and the flashplugin. Nothing worked. Going to the adobe flash test, it gives me the "click here to download plugin" prompt...

Ok, I'm sorry for being unprecise here. I did not want to know if the rest of the world can view flash. I can't use flash and would like to know where I should start debugging.

Hello all, what shall I say? I am somewhere between WHAT F$§%)&/($% PIECE OF %&$(!!! and bursting in tears. I have tried anything possible, but literally NO SINGLE browser can play flash on my system! Konqueror: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."...

I can, FreeBSD can't! Oct 20 23:50:06 harrison kernel: ugen1.2: <Motorola Inc.> at usbus1 (disconnected) Oct 20 23:50:12 harrison root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x22b8 product 0x4902 bus uhub1 Oct 20 23:50:12 harrison kernel: ugen1.2: <Motorola Inc.> at usbus1

Title says it all. I want to download photos from my cell-phone to the computer running BSD. Wine doesn't connect as it's missing the drivers and Virtualbox doesn't support USB at all. K2Ktest doesn't see phones. So is there another way to access the phone? P.

Hm, there is a closed source version with USB and an open-source-version without USB. What exactly do they need $1000 for?

That's cool. So off to the hardware store, get 4 Gigs more :)

Not really... I tried sysinfo, which told me: [pba@harrison ~]$ sysinfo cpu Generated by SysInfo v1.0.1 by Daniel Gerzo CPU information Machine class: i386 CPU Model: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz No. of Cores: 2 Cores per CPU: WARNING: Your CPU supports amd64...

Morning! I would like to find out, whether my processor, mainboard, memory supports 64bit or not. How do I do this without loosening any screws? :) Thanks in advance! P.

Hi all, I run a VirtualBox Guest with Windows XP and an Oracle 10g installed. Now I'd like to access the database from the host operating system, but have no idea how to achieve this. I've read about bridging and so on, but that doesn't really answer my question. All I need (basically) is...

Sounds good. I have problems compiling Julius itself from the source-code. How far is your work yet and can i participate / share your results?

Hello everyone, has somebody ever successfully compiled simon listens under FreeBSD 8?

I am attending an online class for the next two months and will need a solution to use MS Live Meeting under FreeBSD. The java-client doesn't work with neither firefox nor Konqueror and the genuine client refuses to connect with wine. Has anyone made Live Meeting work under FreeBSD and could...

Hey ho! I'd like to make my computer talk. I would basically use Mbrola/Festival (for output, not so difficult I guess) and Simon listens. It should be able to do basic tasks, nothing difficult. Basic would mean, respond to a couple of standard commands like "Email, list unread" or...

Gday everyone, I'd like to add a VU-Meter or maybe even an analyzer to my desktop. You know, that won't just act with mp3, but with speech-output as well as input on all channels! Could somebody point me to a desktop-widget or whatever I could use? TIA
