Hi, My XFCE4 DE was fine though now when I start up XFCE4, I have no means of accessing Destops Settings. So, no backdrop, icons or mouse_right-click menu for Desktop Settings Dialog Box. Also, when I go into settings Dialog there is no Desktop Icon there to select either. I did notice that...

Hello folks, I've been using FreeBSD on my server workloads for a few months now and now I want to switch to FreeBSD on the desktop as well, since I like the idea of being able to play with Jails and other stuff in localhost, so I got myself a recent Lenovo IdeaPad laptop that comes with Raptor...

Just for context. My laptop is MSI GS65 Stealth 9SE. Not a shiny new, but still kind of a modern thing. As for wifi it runs Intel Wireless-AC-9560, which is seems to be supported by if_iwlwifi. And it worked good enough with 14.2-RELEASE and if_iwlwifi driver, with no bluetooth, though, but this...

Hey yall, (I posted this already to Reddit, and didn't realize I could here: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1g9scfc/help_with_a_natd_jail_running_dnsmasq/) So I finally got a jail running on my main FreeBSD box. It’s taken me so long, but I did it. I created a pf.conf and got NAT...

Hey! Let me give you a little background. I'm a Linux user. Not a very good Linux user. I prefer to point and click. I prefer to not deal with things and have my OS "just work". That doesn't mean I don't get dirty with lower level stuff, it's just that I'm not really experienced. However I've...

I am running XigmaNAS on a FreeBSD system which freebsd-version shows as 12.2-RELEASE-p7 However when I try to execute freebsd-update I get "not found". As a newbie to FreeBSD I have searched the forum as well as the internet but I can't find any clue. Is it possible that I have only got a...

Hello! Over a year I experience a problem with my 10y old computer - sudden shutdown (not reboot - just power turns off in 1 second). I have FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE + Xorg + XFCE4 on my home computer. I'm guessing this problem related with overhitting, but I'm not sure. I don't load my CPU with...

I am using a Pi4(8GB) as NAS at home, plain vanilla FreeBSD14 patched to latest P5. Using two Red Sata SSD in a mirrored ZFS setup and Netdata to monitor the Pi. Netdata is also compiled out of the box on the Pi4. The OS is booting from a micro SD card, it is not the fastest server around but it...

After updating the host to 14.0-RELEASE, I decided to do ezjail-admin update -U -s 12.2-RELEASE to update my jails from 12.2 to 14.0. This command ultimately failed, and I eventually tried many things including eventually doing ezjail-admin install. That command completed successfully, but I can...

Hello! Please tell me what options should be set when making zabbix agent with postgresql monitoring support

This is on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE. I discovered this with a different command, but I was able to reduce it down to a pretty generic example. When I run this command, it regularly (but not always) fails: dehrmann@freebsd:/var $ ls | sort | xargs | ls <~20 items listed> xargs: /bin/echo...

Hi guys. I am very new to FreeBSD. I am currently trying to configure an LDAP server on a jail system. But, whenever I try running service slapd restart, it takes like a few minutes just to start. I checked the /var/log/debug.log after setting log level to any but there isn't much useful...
