    Did you ever consider using a microkernel?

    Thanks for correcting me SirDice, but glad we could agreed that Zircon is not a monolithic kernel either :) If anyone would like to play with a micriokernel *NIX, I could suggest Minix or Redox. Only tried the former myself.

    Did you ever consider using a microkernel?

    It's true that Fuchsia is not a microkernel, as Fuchsia is the whole Operating System. The kernel of Fuchsia is called Zircon, and is actually a microkernel, and is is derived from Little Kernel

    Someone have any guide to use Nouveau Video Driver on FreeBSD 10?

    I have problems with the Nvidia driver, when composite is enabled in the WM/DE. Not that it lags, but I got a lot of vertical lines when playing video. Try disable composite, and see if that helps.

    Installing FreeBSD on Ubuntu

    I suggest you keep your Ubuntu install, and install FreeBSD in a virtual machine, e.g. VirtualBox

    Does blu-ray video need a special format?

    I don't think the version of udf that Blu-rays uses (2.50) is supported by FreeBSD. Also Blu-rays uses a different directory and file structure then DVD's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc

    Enlightenment screen start bug

    I have seen this problem on FreeBSD before. You have to go to Settings -> Look -> Startup and disable the startup splash.

    Using icon packs with Enlightenment E17

    I guess icons normally are stored in /usr/local/share/icons, try to extract some icons there.

    Using icon packs with Enlightenment E17

    Sorry, what I meant was of course Application Theme. Strange, GTK/QT themes/icons should show up here. Try installing x11-themes/gnome-icons form ports, and see if anything shows up.

    Using icon packs with Enlightenment E17

    By default Enlightenment E17 uses its own icon format. To use icons from e.g. GNOME, you have to go to the Settings from the menu and choose Icon Theme in the Appearance menu. In here you can choose to use an icon theme from installed icon packs.

    systemd has now their private libc

    Just to make it clear, it is a joke http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-April/010105.html

    SSD ahcich timeouts

    I have a similar problem with a ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO and a LiteOn Blu Ray drive under high load (more specific when using cdrom passthrough in Virtualbox). I have tried to change cable and port but still the same issue. When using cdrom passthrough in Virtualbox on a Openindiana/Illumos or Linux...

    Trying to get install of gnome-desktop 2.32 started

    The gnome-desktop package is only a part of the gnome desktop. I suggest you install the entire gnome meta package: # pkg_add -r gnome2

    Wine 64bits on FreeBSD

    You can find a unmaintained port of wine 64 bit here http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/wine/ But do you need more than 4 Gb RAM? Why not just setup a 32 bit jail and install wine into that, and use the 32 bit WOW client? Here is how to do that http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine

    VirtualBox, cdrom passthrough not working

    I think I was a little too fast, saying that passthrough now work. It's only partly working. When I try to rip DVD's with makemkv on a Linux guest, makemkv gives me some errors about wrong region code. That is very strange, because makemkv works perfect in a Linux guest on a Openindiana host.

    VirtualBox, cdrom passthrough not working

    I found the solution. I the BIOS, I changed my SATA controller from IDE to AHCI mode, and cdrom passthrough i VirtualBox started to work. The problem now, is that the version of VirtualBox in ports (4.0.14), has a tendency to crash when using passthrough. Therefore I installed VirtualBox-4.1.8...

    VirtualBox, cdrom passthrough not working

    Thank you je33, but as I said, I'm already checked the permissions for the device, on a FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE. Tried with a Linux Mint as guest yesterday, and the drive show up, though with problems. Seems that Windows XP and Windows 7 are more problematic than Linux as guest. The strange thing...

    VirtualBox, cdrom passthrough not working

    I can't make cdrom passthrough working in VirtualBox on amd64. When passthrough is disabled, the windows xp guest can read disk without problems, but when enabled, windows tells me that there is no disk inserted. vboxdrv and atapicam is loaded, added my user to the vboxusers group, and set the...

    kdenetwork-4.7.3 make stalls

    Yep, automoc is the problem, it starts some kind of deadlock. You can repeat by start make again, but it will probably stop again with a new deadlock. So if you are installing KDE4, it will take ages. Btw, if you are using portmaster, you can use the -G flag instead of using BATCH=YES

    [FreeNAS] upgrade ffmpeg

    I only got 3GB RAM on my ZFS NAS, and that works fine. FreeNAS 8.x do have portsnap, but installing anything from ports or packages is not that easy, because FreeNAS is a "running image". That means that changes in e.g. /var will be forgotten at reboot. Also the space is very limited. The...

    kalzium fails with DEPRECATED: Superseded by GCC 4.5, only kept for the sake of cad/s

    When trying to build KDE4, science/kalzium fails with: DEPRECATED: Superseded by GCC 4.5, only kept for the sake of cad/salome Removing DEPRECATED in the Makefile of gcc44 seems to work, but I don't think this is the right fix for this.
