Hello! i was thinking on explaining the why etc of me wanting to switch to FreeBSD but i don't think it's that important other than just finding the solution for music production well, i've been using Arch for about a year now but i don't have any reasons to keep using it really, i use KDE and...

Hello everyone, I've just installed on my T430 a few days ago, and I'm facing some wifi issues. Occasionally, when I boot up, I get no network. I am unable to turn on wifi 1 on Networkmgr, and WPA_Supplicant and WPA_CLI did not work and I'll have to reboot to try again. I'll post any logs you...

Sorry if this is offensive, but why the continued separation from Linux? I know that they both started separate, but I feel like both projects could get a lot of good from a merging. The BSD software could get a lot more eyes upon it, and Linux could gain more ingrained support for things like...

Hey all! I've been using Linux for quite a while now. Currently, I'm using Gentoo to learn about Unix-Like OSes and how C works (though the second part isn't going too well), and I think that I should also try BSD. I would like to ask how I would switch over, i.e. get Firefox, Steam, and such...

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5510 Laptop and everytime I try a live USB with FreeBSD 13.1 or 14-CURRENT or after a bare metal installation I notice increased fan speed and overheating of my laptop. The cpu temperature rises to 55-65 Celcius at rest. The same thing happens in Arch linux. Only in...

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here. I've migrated my servers and router to FreeBSD quite a while ago, so I am not necessarily a new user. However, I've been inspired by many posts on the Internet of folks who migrated to FreeBSD and never looked back, and I am considering the same. (a few...

I'm trying to get tshark to load before login on my FreeBSD 13.1 server. Preferably I would want ttyv0 to act as the server system notifications, ttyv1 should run on boot: tshark -i re0 -t ud -P -V -u hms -b interval:86400 -w /tmp/tshark_re0_PV.pcap and ttyv2 should run on boot: tshark -i re0 -P...

Hello, I'm new to FreeBSD and the way it works(I mean, completely new; I don't even really understand what's going on in the handbook). I'm mentioning this because I've searched the threads to find the solution to my problem and I didn't get half the things that were said, so please be specific...

So I installed mate DE and compton, but whenever I bring up a terminal I get this weird transparent after on all of my open windows. example in the file I attached.

Hello. I've been using several distros of Linux in the last couple of years so while I am seeing some similarities between it and FreeBSD (both being Unix-based, I'm aware), I realize I need some help to fully get around it. I can see that FreeBSD isn't an out-of-the-box desktop experience...

Hi I am new to FreeBSD and I have a fresh installation of it in front of me and to start editing config files before installing anything else I wanted to install Vim. But after hitting <OK> for the 1.000 time (at least it felt like 1.000), I just aborted it and tried out some flags to have an...

Hey everyone one, I'm new to the BSD's and I thought I would try FreeBSD after enjoying what I found with OpenBSD, so my install of FreeBSD on my desktop has been going fine, but for some reason I cant seem to get audio to work after my attempts in the past couple of hours. the output from...

I have recently installed FreeBsd on one of my older machines, currently there is no GUI and I am running everything as root. My issue is this, whenever I press capslock freeBSD will stop responding to keystrokes. In order to turn off/on capslock I need to unplug and plug in my keyboard. Does...

Was fairly easy enough to install it not bad . Of course it has many problems from qt-sqlite that can't be installed no way via ports or pkg nothing worked at all Gnome3 Gdm doesn't work it gives me a blank screen (with a dark color i think) Wifi usb support is very very very limited only one...

Hello, I've recently decided to try FreeBSD as an operating system instead of my old one. Now I know some of the questions that I will ask will probably sound very idiotic to some of you (perhaps this one as well), as I am a real dummy when it comes to computers, programming and all of the...

Hello all, I, as a total freeBSD beginner, will probably be completely in over my head for this one, but please try anyway. :p What I want to achieve; The Laymen's explanation; I want my FreeNAS to upload new TV shows to my tablet every night, until the tablet is full. I need a script to...

Hi I am new to Freebsd and I want to set up my first real desktop. But when I try to make Lumina and Fluxbox work together, Fluxbox never work. I always have to start Fluxbox via menu. I enter both of the software in .xinitrc and I just have Lumina that starts. Does someone know why this...

Hello everyone, I am newbie and interested in FreeBSD(11.1), so I decided to try it out on a virtual machine (kvm). The install was simple, but I seem to have hit a wall trying to install and configure Xorg. As per the handbook (and other sources), I installed Xorg using ports. cd...
