Can someone recommend a wireless NIC that is compatible with FreeBSD that can still be purchased from amazon or newegg (or equivalent)? I have found lists of compatible wireless chip sets. But, finding a NIC that is based on one of those chip sets that is still available is challenging. I am...

Here is a little more information about this issue: Case 1: Don't load xhci System shuts down fine Case 2: load xhci in loader.conf and sudo kldunload xhci before shutdown System shuts down fine Case 3: load xhci in loader.conf or build into kernel System hangs on shutdown It seems that as...

I added the COMPAT_FREEBSDXX items back into the kernel, rebuilt and installed it... but still no dice. I'll try removing the GoFlex. But, that is just an external drive that I have been using with the system for a quite a while. It is connected to a USB 3 port though. It worked fine under...

I have two hard drives (of different sizes) installed in my computer. I clone my primary to my backup drive once in a while. I use this script to do it #!/usr/local/bin/bash time dump -1 -a -L -f - / | ( cd /mnt/root ; restore ruvf - ) time dump -1 -a -L -f - /var | ( cd /mnt/var ; restore...

I used cvsup to update my source tree, and then followed the handbook for building and installing the kernel and world. Everything seems to be working great... except when I try to shutdown or reboot. The last messages printed out are: All buffers synched. Uptime: <time> usbus0: Controller...

FreeBSD available at Rackspace. FreeBSD is now available at Rackspace. Just spun up a FreeBSD VM. Haven't seen any announcement about it yet, but it is there!

I just got a USB based Trendnet KVM TK-209K. When I boot up with my FreeBSD 8.2 machine active, everything is fine. When I switch away, I see these messages logged (which look fine) ugen0.2: <ALCOR> at usbus0 (disconnected) uhub7: at uhub0, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected) ugen0.3: <Apple...

Thanks. This worked for me.

I have installed the latest Open JDK 6 and Open JDK 7 on a fresh install of FreeBSD 9 (I had the same issue under FreeBSD 8.2 as well). I installed the latest Netbeans (7.1.1) from ports. Netbeans runs fine when I run using Open JDK 6. When I set the JAVA_VENDOR and JAVA_VERSION to use 7 and...

This problem happened again. I haven't figured out exactly what happened, but I caught the problem soon enough that I could do a . -mtime -3h to narrow down what files had changed. I renamed my ~/.cache/sessions directory and it fixed the problem. So, apparently, the session information for...

XFCE wasn't behaving correctly. I haven't figured out exactly what was causing it yet, but luckily I had cloned my entire file system recently. I renamed my home directory and restored it from the clone and now XFCE is working again. I'll have to start comparing files to figure out what...

I have been running XFCE for about a month now with no issues. This morning, I start up my computer and then do startx and get this: X.Org X Server 1.7.7 Release Date: 2010-05-04 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p4 amd64 Current Operating System...

Thanks for the info. I am going to look into using rsync. I found this as an example on their site, so I figure this may be a good starting place. It is almost exactly what I want to do (with the exception of my file systems being named differently). I don't think I'll use the --delete at...

I am looking into the collective wisdom of the FreeBSD forums for advice on keeping my current, primary drive cloned to a secondary drive. My FreeBSD machine has become my primary work computer and I would like to keep a clone of my current file system. I have installed a second drive and...

FYI. Maintainer replied that this is a bug and was fixed over the weekend. I haven't tested fix yet however.

I e-mailed the maintainer as listed in the Makefile. Sound seems to work without that patch, but I would rather have an appropriate fix.

Thanks Beeblebrox. I was able to build OSS prior to updating the ports tree. I have installed everything using ports. I am also using gcc46. The patch for OSS explicitly adds the reference to that macro. It also adds include <sys/module.h> which I believe is referring to...

I updated my ports tree using fetch update on Friday. I have been able to rebuild everything except a couple of ports. OSS is getting the following compile error. os_freebsd.c: In function 'oss_install_chrdev': os_freebsd.c:418: error: 'MAKEDEV_CHECKNAME' undeclared (first use in this...

I updated this a bit, so thought I would post the updates. Changed the Makefile to set permissions on a few files/directories and changed to use INSTALL macros. Makefile # New ports collection Makefile for: repose # Date created: 10 January 2012 # Whom: Dan...

I am in the process of creating a port for a java based application that uses maven for the build. This is my first port and am a complete noob to this, though I have read through some of the porters guide. I am just looking to be pointed in the right direction for resolving the issues below...
