I'm trying to get KDE up and running on FreeBSD 13 on a laptop PC. I could not even configure Xorg to run and it seems like the hardware cannot be recognized. So, I downloaded GhostBSD (both the default MATE and Xfce versions) and it works out of the box. I am now trying to figure out what...

Let's just brainstorm... What would you expect a "FreeBSD Kommunity Edition" to be/offer? What would you like it to be/offer? Is there demand for such a thing? Would you like to see a *BSD Kommunity Edition? What is missing or should be better in base FreeBSD / in the KDE ports? Add your...

There was one good thing about IBM, Microsoft and Intel business activities in the past. Their goal was clear: to gain more market share, make more money and total annihilation of competitors. However nowadays it's a completely different story, especially in the open source and free software...

Edit: Following a package update that causes even more issues.. I have opted to reinstall, and never switch from quarterly again. This seems to have fixed it I am on freebsd 12.1 x64, running the latest branch for ports. I had uninstalled KDE to try out MATE, after I was done I reinstalled KDE...

Hi! My good old FreeBSD machine went dead (with Xfce) a little while ago, so at the moment I am using a machine with Devuan and KDE Plasma 5.8.3 which, when it comes to stability, I am not satisfied with. Concidering the evolvement of KDE Plasma I am wondering if you guys who have been running...

Hi, I cannot change resolution. I tried via xrandr, arandr and KDE5 settings but it simply doesn't work. I'm using FreeBSD on my virtual machine. I use Virtualbox and I think that this may be a problem. When I try to change resolution it gives: "Failed to get size of gamma for output default". I...

I followed this tutorial to install KDE: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x11-wm.html , but whenever I startx I got an error about frame buffer mode. I found that it means that I need to set the video card driver. I found somewhere (don't remember) a file named xf86-video-nvidia, so I guess...

To close down KDE I normally right click on a blank area of the desktop and select 'Leave' but as from this morning KDE does not respond to right clicks on the desktop. The problem only affects the desktop, all windows and taskbar icons still respond normally to right clicks. One thing which...

Greetings to everyone. First thing first, I am quite new to FreeBSD (using it for 2-3 months) and I wanted to thank everyone who have contributed to the FreeBSD Handbook which one of the most complete and well-structured manual I ever seen. I intend to migrate my main desktop from Debian to...

Hi there! After much of trouble with the ports I installed BSD with success and I was able to boot Gnome. But I got bored so I started do wonder if I could install KDE next to Gnome. It worked to install kDE but now here's my problem: I commented out the lines "gdm_enable="YES" and...

I installed KDE following the Handbook. But its aspect standard isn't very comfortable. I'm not meaning that it looks bad, the opposite. But I want that someone tell me how to personalize it in this system. All I have found googling where guides for Linux, not for FBSD. If you can attach...
