Thanks, I was able to see that the default config I pulled from the website for Qtile was not compatible with the version installed on my system. I pulled the correct version from site-packages and it seems to be working now!!

I installed a fresh install of FreeBSD 12.1 . I used pkg to install xorg and qtile, added “exec qtile” to my .xinitrc. When I startx i get a black screen with qtile logs showing it crashes because of XCB_connection errors. I tried uninstalling and installing from ports same issue. I am running...

Thanks for the response. This information was what I needed. I was able to get this up and running quickly!

What I would like to do is have GDM launch the TigerVNC server automatically when it starts. I would like to be able to connect to VNC and see the GDM login screen, where I can log in to my account graphically. I do not want ot have to start a vnc server as a local user after login, or via ssh...

Does anyone know of a way to configure VNC so that I can get the GDM login screen and login and out through VNC remotely? I cannot seem to find any instructions for this on FreeBSD, the only instructions are for Linux.

Yes, I was looking for a Raspberry Pi like form factor that was a Tier 1 platform. I have played with enough tier 2 platforms such as sparc64 that I don't want to fight to get something working. I was really hoping for something from Intel. I heard there was some really good small quad core...

Hello, I am looking to see if anyone has any experience or recommendations for a system on chip tiny form factor raspberry pi like device possibly something that runs x86 and has good support for the BSD's? I am looking for a micro pc, something with WiFi or Ethernet and a HDMI port built in...

I have my server hosted on AWS. The FreeBSD devs have done a great job with native Xen drivers. It works fine out of the box and you get all the AWS ecosystem benefits. As always Colin Percival is the man, and you can thank him for maintaining the AMI images listed below. Check out the following...

I tried that, it gives and error about not recognizing mx99.eli and the swap never loads.

I have used the encrypted swap feature for a while now, but recently I moved from a swap partition to a swap file. This is because my new drive is an SSD and I wanted to make sure I could use TRIM on the part of the disk used for swap. Typically an encrypted swap file would be used in fstab as...

Is having a large Send-Q a problem on a nic card? What is a healthy number for a busy server? Are there any tweaks, or metrics I should watch to validate the server is functioning properly? $ uname -r 10.1-RELEASE-p9 My queue is routinely at about: Local Address Foreign Address...

The only thing I could find is the below, which says nothing about any of the xvr cards, such as the xvr-100,xvr-300, xvr-600, and the xvr-1200. The manual pages links are broken and I can't find any hardware listed under the man pages for machfb(4) or creator(4). I believe the xvr series of...

I just happened on a Sun Blade 2500 silver workstation. The workstation has 2 xvr-1200 video cards in the system. I know OpenBSD supposedly supports the cards with the ifb kernel driver. I have not been able to find any documentation on FreeBSD support for this. Any help would be greatly...

I looked at Zotac, they may be a good place to start, their site is a mess though. It is hard to tell what the differences are between all the machines and what the chip-set differences are. However I did find this little beauty which might make a killer small server, firewall, or desktop. The...

Hello All, I am looking for a small platform about the size of an Intel NUC. There are a few competitors to the NUC out on the market now and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these small form factor systems? I want a small dedicated FreeBSD workstation that is low...

Thanks for the help It seems that changing block in all to block all Seems to have resolved the issue. Amazing, I wonder why the difference?

It is a VPC on Amazon EC2, however I can duplicate the issue on an ESX VM in house. I definitely think its something with my config. I did a packet capture and I am seeing 60 second delays to response packets only when they are larger than 500kb usually 1440kb for a full screen of text. The...

I have a server running PF to protect its local services. I have noticed that with PF enabled the ssh session will freeze for several minutes before becoming responsive again. This only happens when I cat a large file, or do anything that generates a large amount of text output. If I disable PF...

I just upgraded a few of my production servers to FreeBSD 10 and I wanted to just say the new OS is speedy. I have noticed faster performance in all my workloads. I wanted to thank all the people who put their hard work into this release. Great job.

I have a laptop set up with GELI / ZFS root. I initially configured GELI to require a password and a key file, however now I would like to switch to key file only on a thumb drive. I tried to test this by using setkey to change the master key to only require the key file on /boot. This works if...
