Just a thought (didn't see it mentioned in this thread, if it was, I missed it, sorry), do you have your /etc/fstab set up for Linuxulator properly? Relevant part should look something like this: proc /proc procfs...

Is CUDA support actually present in the FreeBSD NVidia driver for sure? I have the latest NVidia driver, and the no-too-old NVidia card supporting CUDA, but am getting the error "Failed to initialize NVML: GPU access blocked by the operating...

Hi, Thanks for pointing that out! Sorry for the duplicate post — I really thought I was sharing something useful for others who might hit the same issue on FreeBSD 14.3. At least now there is another confirmation that hw.efi.poweroff="0" solves...

I liked using reboot=pci on Linux to get hard reboots; when I reboot I want it legit-rebooted no soft/partial stuff :p

We have two ACLs, the DevelopersGroup and the ContributorsGroup. The differences between the two are really minor (maybe, like editing the front page?) We do have hundreds of people in ContributorsGroup, and membership is open to community members.

It's worth searching the forum first. This problem has been reported and solved a number of times by setting hw.efi.poweroff=0. It typically affects some older PCs. But trying to solve it yourself is a good way to learn how FreeBSD works!

I do not have a summary of the ideas that have been kicked around on the Discord, sorry. This is exactly the type of thing where someone new needs to pick up the baton.

FreeBSD, both 14.3-STABLE and 15-ALPHA on my Thinkpad T 14s G1, hyprland run well. The ecosystem utility work too.

Thank you so so much for this tip! 🙏 I never had problem with shutdown on bare metal, but this solution is perfect for VirtualBox FreeBSD guests on Win hosts! I just tried it on Win11/VBox and for the first time FreeBSD completed shutdown...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share a quick tip for anyone running into this issue on FreeBSD 14.3, especially on Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P motherboards.. Problem: When running FreeBSD 14.3 in UEFI mode, poweroff (or shutdown -p now) would stop the...

Exactly my point. I moved away from Linux on my personal systems just because of this and on FreeBSD I use non-GPL software whenever I can. I could definitely do better in the DE-WM space but I like KDE too much so far...

I said nothing about shutting down or censoring the Internet.

I did set a fixed speed and just like that not a single flap.

Run this to sign your bootloader: cd /boot && sh /usr/share/examples/uefisign/uefikeys testcert && uefisign -c testcert.pem -k testcert.key -o signed-binary loader.efi Then open your BIOS and follow whatever chain of clicks to enroll loader.efi...

If you don't want to use podman or jails your best bet is to use bhyve. Install an alpine instance, install docker in it and go nuts. I quite like Alpine, its super small and snappy. However, If you do use it be sure to install dnsmasq as dns...

First, don't ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence. There is no "their" versus "our" here. I use a variety of operating systems, including Linux and FreeBSD. It would be nice if Linux had a good ZFS implementation, since in my...

Alt Linux (at lest Sisyphus, that I use) have quite good zfs support, kernel module is in their default repo and is trivial to add (they even have GUI app for that - alterator / System management center). Although, this applies only to 6.12.x...

Oh, I was so wrong about this 🤦‍♂️ It’s actually very simple to do, and doesn’t require custom kernel. Trick is to add to the /boot/loader.conf teken.fg_color="0" teken.bg_color="7" and to change in /boot/lua/drawer.lua image =...

Thanks 🙏 I was just getting to like black on white vt with gallant.fnt as default from the boot more and more, and I was thinking about settling with this for my default vt look, but now uw-ttyp0-2-0-was-released.99167 and now I'm like Buridan's...

For clarity: I'm loading from /boot/loader.con only zfs, cryptodev and aio: zfs_load="YES" cryptodev_load="YES" aio_load="YES" This is an example of kld_list in /etc/rc.conf kld_list="libiconv libmchain cd9660_iconv msdosfs_iconv speaker...

freebsd-boot is unmountable. It is binary code to bootstrap.

I have committed a cherry-pick from -CURRENT to the stable/14 branch. But since that was still with the funny CYRILLIC LOWER CASE ZE, you want the gallant.hex file from https://github.com/NanoBillion/gallant which has the updated glyphs).

And people trying to develop and/or sell other gear that can not be tapped in get very depressed quite suddenly. Very very depressed, so they hang themselves in a public park...

Never had similar problem, and IDK will this help, but do not use /boot/loader.con for loading *.ko. Rather, use kld_list=" ... " in the /etc/rc.conf

OK, but what do I put in "kld_list="...; and the other problem is that keybord and mouse freeze when I'm trying to log in a site with user and password. As have I commented, browsing a normal page without logging in there is no problem.

I thought I'd put this up, and maybe it might be of use for a few folks. I'm running a bunch of bhyve jails on a Beelink SER5, running openbox as my window manager. I sometimes play with a few Linux installs on it, to see if there's anything new...

Just an FYI. Swift is now available as a package on FreeBSD! Now we get to toy with it on macOS and FreeBSD. :)

At WWDC last week, Apple announced that FreeBSD is an officially supported platform. Nice to see this happen! Hope they will ensure that FreeBSD OCI containers will work on their new open source containerization framework and maybe even enables...

I have no clue where you got that from! Maybe I should be questioning who is drunk. EDIT: Oh! Now that I've sat a while, I see what you're trying to say. Yes! Reddit is a "receiving device" and a mouthpiece for political agitation and violence...

Imagine Bell selling telephone systems to countries, a system where local switch panel operator cannot tap into the line, but Bell from USA can. What happened in last ~ 15 years is this. And now we have to swim in it somehow.

I found it rather depressing listening to Zuckerberg answer to some committee in America. These people were voted in, and they rule over the most developed technology exporting nation ever, yet they simply knew zero about the topic, not even did...

He who has nothing to hide has a very sad life. And why is he still wearing pants? Good to know you are doing this work, and I can only concur - the biggest problem is people not knowing anything about what they do or what the device in their...

Please let's stick to the current reality. I am working inside one of many EIDAS effort groups for one of the EU national governments. There are still ton of issues and still a ton of opinions how future should proceed. The biggest problem is...

Some kind of FreeBSD-specific equivalent of Docker that is based on Jails that enables you to deploy web apps rapidly. While I understand that there are things like CBSD and AppJail, I would like more of a first-party built-in solution like the...

I'm not sure. Zsh is not quite bourne shell compatible. I prefer bash for that reason. Actively leading new users to zsh might lead to lots of code being thrown around that isn't working in actual shellscripts anymore. I think it is good the way...
