I'm having and issue with a FreeBSD image I have that uses and ext2 mount. On 13.0-RELEASE (and all preceding releases down to 8.0-RELEASE) I've been able to mount an ext2 filesystem without issue. However, upon upgrade to 13.1-RELEASE, I've run into the following issue. This is the same...

I'm trying to come up with a solution to an issue I'm seeing on FreeBSD VMs installed as qemu/KVM guests (I'm sure the fact that they're guests have nothing to do with my issue, but I thought I'd mention it anyway). From within a VM, I seem to be hitting a ~128KB/s limit on I/O streams, that...

FWIW, I was able to get Flash installed using the linux_base-c6 packages. I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/xmj/linux-ports/.

Hmmm, I've seen some use the CentOS6 ports, but I ran into some issues in my one attempt to do so -- I stopped and decided to ask about the vulnerability vs. working out the likely trivial issue with the c6 ports. I wonder, is everyone who uses FreeBSD on the desktop just going without flash in...

On FreeBSD 10, I can't seem to use the same method I've always used when trying to install a vulnerable port. Has anything changed with this version? I'm trying to install linux-flashplugin, however am (expectedly) running into some vulnerable ports that (unexpectedly) refuse to install no...

I was a long time Opera user before I figured out they don't really care about *nix users with regards to their new browser. Given that the 12 branch has basically been abandoned sans security fixes (for now), I decided it was time to switch to Firefox. I'm not completely happy with it versus...

Kind of surprised at the amount of errors on the other drive given it's Power_On_Hours (377 = roughly 16 days). I'd think you should be able to get it replaced under warranty.

You're right, that was actually a brain fart on my part, since I know I had to set $JAVADIR myself after installing the linux java -- i.e. installing openjdk6 won't affect the environmental variables, which was my main concern. I'm currently working on getting FF to recognize...

I have linux-sun-jdk16 installed on my workstation at my workplace due to certain Linux-based software that I need to be able to run. This works flawlessly, however I'm wondering what caveats I'll run into by now installing the icedtea web browser plugin, since it seems to depend on FreeBSD's...

I'm using area51's 4.9.5 on 8-stable and it's working [semi-]flawlessly. Admittedly I'm having issues but these have not been specific to 4.9.5. Xibo, any way I can help out with testing or even developing? Is there a place I can sign up or do I basically just report any bugs I can find...

Having this exact same issue. OP did you ever resolve? EDIT: For what it's worth, I solved this by rebuilding phonon with pulseaudio. Now if only I can get kde to remember the phonon device settings I'd be golden.

It's a GREAT how-to. My only problem is that for whatever reason I had trouble getting it to run on Freebsd9+. I'm sure I could've worked it out if I really put some thought into it, but at the time I just wanted to get it up and running as fast as possible. I'm assuming we're referring to...

Turns out this is a hardware problem with they keyboard itself, I have the same issue when plugging the keyboard into another system.

All of a sudden today Im having a very weird issue with my keyboard. 1. Pressing the ctrl key nets a single quotation mark 2. Pressing s nets s. (s followed by a period). Pressing period nets that same s. combination 3. Pressing the quotation key does nothing. Thats just what Ive come...

Hmm, I haven't noticed any issues like the above yet, though I'm likely not on this system as often as you guys are. 9-STABLE, amd64 box with Nvidia card.

I looked into this recently, and as far as I know the port for FreeBSD is VERY old. I was reading the second life wiki re: FreeBSD support and it's basically, currently unsupported. You might have success running a linux distro in a VM or something, installing it that way.

Upon trying to upgrade these two ports, I've run into the following issue, which appears the same for both ports: /usr/local/bin/ld: osdep/getch2.o: undefined reference to symbol 'tgetnum' /usr/local/bin/ld: note: 'tgetnum' is defined in DSO /usr/local/lib/libtinfo.so.5.9 so try adding it to...

I got it sorted :) I just needed to remove the port then update/fix my pkgdb...simply solution to a simple problem that my confusion blew out of proportion, lol. Thanks for the reply.

Looks like a corrupt pkgdb.db file to me. Saw this on one of my boxes the other day. rm -/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db pkgdb -Ffuv That forces a rebuild of pkgdb and should resolve the problem mentioned...

MarcoB, did you try DutchDaemon's suggestion? I have a significant number of ports that also depend on libutempter, but I did not delete the port b/c I didn't want to break things (and judging by your post, I'm VERY glad I didn't). When I ran my portupgrade, I used '-x' to exclude libtempter...
