Why not wine? It's on ports. And it's better integrated with the graphics stack of FreeBSD for windows programs.
By default the linux compatibility layer (rocky linux 9) will only support OpenGL (with patches/hack vulkan works, cuda maybe)...
Back in the Usenet days there were posted rules and article about postings and having good, descriptive titles. Now I see this in all social media but notice it here more often lately. A thread is started with a title such as "Computers" or "Is...

GPT-partitioning scheme :
To add a label eg MYFREEBSD to partition 3 :

If you are not comfortable building the kernel and base packages from source, build drm-kmod from ports in a out-of-date you are using for mfsBSD BASE downloaded base.txz jail.
Or, if you want a up-to-date system, use STABLE (now...
Machine Learning (ML) is a type of AI for how a computer organizes data, often for a next step in AI to process this data. It is described as how a computer predicts how data is to be organized. Data is retrieved through sensors, like cameras...

Maturin, please re-read my post, I thought I explained what I wanted to achieve, ie the use of labels in fstab in a MBR based system and how to set them.
It looks like I can't do this using gpart BICBW.
After adopting GPT as my partitioning scheme years ago have forgotten about BSD slices but am trying to change an fstab entry from /dev/ada1s3a
to something which uses a label.
gpart modify -i 3 -l freebsd-main ada0
does not work. What should...
I really wanted to make this article short … but I failed miserably. At least I tried to organize it well so one may get back to it after ‘some’ reading because its not a short lecture. I wanted to title it Why FreeBSD? but when you type that...
Anthropic's Mythos Preview writeup from 7 April was pretty upfront in several places about the cost of finding their exploits, at least in terms of API pricing (the true cost may be higher, of course - but also bear in mind the long-term trend of...

I observe an increasing tendency of TUI/terminal software that needs special "advanced" terminal emulators.
Homebrew on macOS is an example. If I am on FreeBSD in an xterm and ssh into one of my Macs, I can't directly run homebrew commands to...
I know this is old, but does this still hold true for Emulex which is now Broadcom? Looking at `ocs_fc(4)` which seems to be a generic driver for all Emulex cards?
E.g.:

Is there any way to download these built files from anwhere?
It will probably take me a day to build them and errors are likely to arise which will mean a second or third attempt at building them.
Big centralized data will take over the world. A few multinationals hijacking all public knowledge. Pretty much phase 2 after ending piracy which is actually freedom of information.
> Yes, it works now!
That's great to hear! It should be showing up in Quarterly very shortly... I saw the package successfully build last night but I don't know how long it takes to complete the entire package set.

There's FreeBSD port audio/spotify-qt. It gives me error: ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/qt6/libQt6Svg.so.6: Undefined symbol ObjectPrivateC2Ei@Qt_6_PRIVATE_API"
Private API?
This link works: https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/
Anyhow I thing the whole thing is closed source since Spotify does not provide any source code.
I can generate a CLI-only USB image of this if you want. Creating it needs the entire build system that also includes a working live X.org. Creating a concept minimal mfsroot-based system of this for publication would take me a few days.
Why does it need linuxulator? Does it rely on closed source components?
The link to a linux client program on their own page doesn't work. Kind of a bad sign, I must say. Who lets that happen?
I have RTX2080.
Not sure what you mean by nvidia-drm or nvidia-modset.
My understanding is nvidia-drm is the driver for drm and modeset is the option need to be enabled for in kernel display management which I enabled.
Spotify in Chromium works fine with the following instructions:
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/watching-spotify-and-listening-to-netflix-in-2023.90695/
I would also like to have the native client running in linuxulator though.
Never used Mfsbsd but I maintain a similar system. It allows a PC to boot from USB and forget the initial boot device. My mfsroot contains 95MB compressed and adds some extra executables that are needed in early boot stage before shell login...
I was mistaken. The initial FreeBSD 15 binary programs to build everything with, like the fork base had bad files due to vague mech disk damage. It says write successful but can't read the written data guaranteed. The buildworld showed a file...
Where do I get an up-to-date source tree or can I download the correct kernel from somewhere?
I never have any success at building these things myself.
If you're referring to the kernel.txz and base.txz distribution sets downloaded from here, those are outdated. They were uploaded on November 28, 2025, when 15.0-RELEASE was released. It’s no surprise you're encountering a version mismatch with...
Assuming X11 (see on the handbook: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/#x-graphic-card-drivers), you install x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb (UEFI) or x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa (BIOS) and setup your X to use them (search for: "To...
I needed the node ID's (nid 20,33 and 25), cat /dev/sndstat doesn't show them.
Try /boot/device.hints ("as" , "seq" values copied from my laptops Realtek ALC257 pindump):
hint.hdaa.0.nid25.config="as=3 seq=0"
To take effect, reboot system.
nxjoseph@ it was off, yes. Removed `ftp_curl/options`, will now try to recompile, which take probably up to 8-12 hours ... Thanks for hint, will reply about results.
I like to have as many lines on the screen as possible. Not sure what you mean by using scfb or vesa, What would I change to enable them?
The problem is that I did manage to create what I wanted not long ago but somehow can't re-create it.
Obviously the kernel and the drm-kmod kernel module are out of sync. From where did you get the kernel.txz and base.txz? If it is from official RELEASE repositories, then they are outdated.
To prevent this kind of mismatch in the future, make...
