    Is this FreeBSD or pfSense?

    Other awesome background not set

    Hi. Make sure the image file actually exists, the name of the file is correct, and use the full path to the image in the theme.lua configuration file. For example, if the name of the image file is beastie_rocks.jpg and the file exists in ~/pictures the line to use in the theme.lua file would...

    USB Audio - Steinberg UR44

    Hi. While I'm not familiar with that interface, from skimming quickly through the link you provided, it looks to be USB class compliant I think so should work for audio output at least with the FreeBSD snd_uaudio driver. The advanced mixer/DSP functions will not work though you did state that...

    pkg autoremove: totally unreliable

    It's obvious this thread is not headed in a positive direction. Per the forums rules, disagreement in discussion is allowed as long as it's respectful to all parties involved, which in this thread, seems not to be the case. Thread closed to further discussion.

    Solved Refugee from Linux, now 2 kernel panics in 2 days

    Most potential new users of FreeBSD were using an existing OS with vendor supported hardware previously. The expectation of possibly having to buy new printer to use with FreeBSD isn't looked at as a positive first experience by some potential users and rightfully so. Thankfully, many printers...

    Solved Why does this command have two very different results?

    It's also supported in C shells as well, not just Bourne-compatible shells. ;)

    Solved Why does this command have two very different results?

    To add to tobik's post, brace expansion is a bash feature and not supported by sh IIRC. To expand on that, from the bash man page: [...] Brace expansion introduces a slight incompatibility with historical versions of sh. sh does not treat opening or...

    What keyboard do you use?

    Yep, that is it. :) Edit: I did not get the keyboard with a cord so I'll look into finding one somewhere. I was unaware different cable types were available for it.

    Yahoo Mail

    Yahoo still has a sizable market and makes a good amount of money from their ad platform, so my guess is mainly ads. :)

    What keyboard do you use?

    Thanks for the info and link Oko. Unfortunately, my keyboard doesn't have a PS2 connector. It has what looks to be something similar to an RJ45 connector though more flat. My first guess is it's maybe a terminal keyboard, though I'm not sure as I haven't really looked into it yet. It's been...

    What keyboard do you use?

    Presently using a Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard with Cherry blue switches. Lights work and all media keys are fully functional on FreeBSD with the sysutils/uhidd port. I also have an original IBM Model M that's not being used as I don't have an adapter for it. The keyboard is a tank and...

    Microsoft Embrace, Extend, Extinguish FreeBSD?

    Except that Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly in cloud computing and hasn't even on the desktop for some time now. Competition exists in both markets with some quite viable alternatives at present. Past market dominance and/or behavior by Microsoft doesn't make this any less of an opportunity...

    Good post, and I agree - "Carpe opportunitatem"

    Microsoft Embrace, Extend, Extinguish FreeBSD?

    Of course, which is why I used "misplaced" in my post. I don't see an issue with that. I'm simply saying the worst that can happen out of this is Microsoft dropping support for FreeBSD on their Azure platform, so as I said earlier, I really don't see a downside. In fact, given they are...

    Microsoft Embrace, Extend, Extinguish FreeBSD?

    I really can't see a downside to Microsoft supporting FreeBSD on their Azure platform and don't understand the misplaced animosity here. This isn't connected to their past or present behavior with Windows in any way and personally, I appreciate Microsoft's contributions to supporting FreeBSD in...
