Hi there
i'm new to FreeBSD and this forum. I've used Linux since 2005, and decided to force myself to daily drive FreeBSD. I appreciate all the work you guys/galls are putting in. I love the handbook.
I need some help from the experts. I have a few problems which I couldn't find a suitable solution yet.
I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad P50. I managed to setup KDE, Mate and XFCE. I mainly use KDE but noticed that these issues occur in XFCE aswell. Worse, XFCE freezes and I can't even switch between CTRL+ALT-1/F1 TTY consoles! At least KDE manages to restart itself automatically.
1. After a resume my ifconfig shows wlan2 is connected with an IP but I can't connect to the internet. So i need to manually restart the network.
After I issue `sudo service netif restart` i noticed that KDE crashes.
KDE also crashes sometimes after a resume or during it's use it due to.. various reasons I have yet to figure out. NOt all the time, just sometimes.. out of nowhere.
On Debian I previously failed to use KDE due to some freezes (like the ones I'm experiencing with XFCE on Freebsd). I haven't worked enough on this device with mate to see if it crashes as I don't want to customize it fully.. but i guess it's the same.
2. Another problem is that I can't seem to be able to setup IPV6 for wireless on this device.
3. I couldn't get slick-greeter to work/boot... unfortunately so stuck to lightdm-gtk-greeter. Heard somewhere that KDE may crash due to sddm? No ideas.
4. After problem 1. the scrolling on my mouse fails to work i all windows.. untill I force quit a few apps and then it automagically works again sometimes.. sometimes only after a restart
And other such weird stuff
Oh and worth mentioning, that the NVME in this sytem was swapped form another notebook I installed freebsd on to test it and I manually had to set up XORG and wireless to work.
I've had plenty of other freebsd issues for the past 2 weeks but resolved most of them including networking, drivers. After reading the forums I finally got HDMI working by installing both drm for intel AND for nvidia.
Not to mention I tried installing and configuring freebsd on at least 4 devices and gave up multiple times due to installer bugs/issues. FInally managed to set it up.. I feel masochistic going forward but like the learning experience.
I don't know if i've posted it in the correct subthread, please advise. Thanks
