Mileage varies... What attracted me to FreeBsd: BSD License Works well on older equipment Highly customizable (including the kernel), deterministic releases, and stable. As a hardware/software developer, the BSD License is very appealing! At home, I have been using FreeBSD as a desktop since...

This might be a dumb question. After doing the freebsd-update fetch freebsd-update install on a 13.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p4 GENERIC amd64 and after rebooting shouldn't it say FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p5 GENERIC amd64? Note, the freebsd-update install said there wasn't anything to...

Not sure if this belongs here, since this isn't a seg fault, but may be related. For me, the latest version (5.2.34_4) either as a package or port crashes the system when run as a non-root user. (Older 5.2.34 versions I tried did this too.) Installing a yet older package version (5.2.32_1)...

I recently decided to try to speed up synth using ports-mgmt/fastest_sites. It does test a number of sites but then fails: => Checking servers for MASTER_SITE_PORTS_JP (3 servers) MASTER_SITE_PORTS_JP=\ ftp://ftp.ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/pub/mirrors/FreeBSD-jp/ports-jp/LOCAL_PORTS/%SUBDIR%/ \...

As confirmation, adding the blank /usr/ports/base/Makefile worked. After doing so, rerunning synth upgrade-system successfully completed.

A followup question, as synth is cleaning up after the synth upgrade-system this error occurs: The build logs can be found at: /var/log/synth Scanning entire ports tree. make: "/xports/base/gcc/Makefile" line 23: Please define CROSS_TOOLCHAIN before building culprit: base/gcc Scan aborted...

So, as a synth newbie, I figured one of the safer ways to invoke it is synth prepare-system. My question is once this completes sucessfully do I just run pkg upgrade? Or, are some extra parameters needed?

Some testing uncovered the microtek and microtek2 devices in graphics/sane-backends appear to be responsible for these errors. Microtek2 is responsible for the ata2: FAILURE - odd-sized DMA transfer attempt 5 % 2 ata2: setting up DMA failed and microtek appears to be responsible for the ata4...

My problem appears to be very much as found by tobik, but with a twist. I was finally able to get data by auto-mounting a memory stick at boot time and then waiting several minutes until the data was flushed to the stick. Without running Mate, at the console I could recreate the problem using...

Hi, Well, this is a pain. I am attempting to use graphics/xsane and graphics/gscan2pdf on a FreeBSD 10.2 Release system with a x11/mate desktop and zfs on root. % uname -a FreeBSD Dad 10.2-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p9 #0: Thu Jan 14 01:32:46 UTC 2016...

In general, these instructions do appear to work with a TAP device, and without using OpenVPN's client-config-dir as discussed on http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=24063&highlight=jail+openvpn. First, placing if_tap_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf will prevent situations where all the...
