Hello FreeBSD Forum, This is my second attempt at installing FreeBSD, and I'm experiencing very slow download speeds for packages. Both attempts were conducted within a virtual machine (VM). Interestingly, when I tried GhostBSD (also in a VM), the download speeds were significantly better...

Hello, i am using a Thinkpad T480 with i3/xorg. Recently my touchpad started lagging and my trackpad buttons just stopped working sometimes. It might work sometimes and then i get responses when using "xinput test 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint'", but then it just stops working. I have tried different...

Hi forum! I hope i set this thread in the correct category. I'm using code::blocks as my IDE in FreeBSD 14.2 STABLE, and when i run code in it, let's say this one: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Enter a number: "; int x{}; cin >> x; cout << "Your...

Hello, Beforehand, sorry if the formatting of this post is not fully correct as I want to get it posted and then edit later so that the format is better. I have managed to get myself into a situation where it looks like my hard drive superblock has become corrupted somehow and now some of my...

Hello, I didn't know where to put this so i'm asking here. I don't like asking n00b questions and always told to look at the man page or the manual so i'm here asking what is the best way to read it and understand it.. For freebsd im looking at https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Can...

I understand that this might not be viewed very favorably, but I couldn't really find much about this. I read a few threads on this Forum about USB/IP but there doesn't seem to be much support for the protocol on BSD? I'm trying to create a VM to which most of my USB ports will be passed...

I have been setting up freebsd the past few days and can't find a fix for my keyboard issue. My laptop keyboad and trackpad work when typing in the hard drive password and the boot menu. Once in the terminal both stop working, but a usb keyboard does work. dmesg recognizes them. Was wondering if...

Hey! I'm new to freeBSD and, after a little fight with xorg and the nvidia drivers I finally got to launch xorg and configure all of my monitors. Except for one. The laptop's internal monitor, and it's not even listed with % xrandr : Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 32767...

Apologies if the title was vague, I'll try my best to explain. I'm new to the UNIX booting process and the components of such systems at this level. Resources I'm using: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/command-line-manual-installation-how-to-with-video-if-needed.83934/...

Hello. I am a long time RHEL user in the ISP space, alongside running hobby game servers. I have recently taken an interest in FreeBSD or at least giving it a shot as a hobbyist, I have made an installation and was made aware Wi-Fi Support on BSD isn't the best and didn't support my current...

No audio output on my Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro. Also, it seems like I can only get audio on the internal sound card if I plug my headphones in. I must note that the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro are using their own external DAC/ADC. To check on the status of audio through USB I tried also...

FreeBSD laptop speakers don't work but external headphones work.

So, I'm pretty new to FreeBSD and got a task to make a game in Python. I have installed Python and got a file saying "Run python" within my applications in KDE Plasma, but when I press it nothing happens. How do you set it up and get it running? Or did I install it in the wrong way?

So I installed a fresh system using ZFS with my home directory at /Users/joshua (I'm also a MacOS user so it feels familiar lol) and I noticed that /home still exists and is set in zroot. I suppose that's normal because the system probably assumes that other users would have their homes there...
