My problem is that I use my phone to provide Internet access via USB tether and charging is very slow.
I really need to get another phone to povide Internet access.
Anyone know how long USB Tethering has been available?
Previously I was using...
That doesn't help if the port that is the source of electricity only delivers 1/2 A at 5V. Look at the numbers in SirDice's post: The power delivered by a USB port varies from 1/2 W (traditional) to about 250W, a range of 3 orders of magnitude.
I just have ported it, I do still need to do more. It gave me full blank screen in my main window manager, dwm, but with twm, it starts at least :D.
EDIT:
It can be fixed with environmental variable: _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 jexiftoolgui
Display managers aren't relevant, but is there any other way to initiate the graphical screen that Wayland-KDE uses, and leave it on program exit? Why is this not just a graphics library that applications can use as option? It should be possible...
Things get a lot more dicey when you're not contracted to write code (not a programming/coding job) but still end up writing code anyway (devops, puppet, ansible, shell scripts, custom tools, etc.)
Hi
The possibilities of FreeBSD regarding the type of installation a user can use are almost infinite.
It has already been mentioned that the possibility of installing a workstation with KDE is not the only choice (regarding FreeBSD in pure...
About this, let's thank Gleb Popov (arrowd) for working on a crossplatform logind implementation: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290403#c8.
This way even non-systemd OSes could benefit of software that relies on systemd-logind...

"As of early 2026, the KDE project has officially dropped support for FreeBSD in the KDE Plasma Login Manager (sddm-kcm) because it requires systemd/logind, which is not supported on FreeBSD. While the login manager is impacted, most...
This is just another doom thread based on a premise that to my knowledge is not true.
Can you link to a statement where KDE says they will not support FreeBSD anymore? (and not their stupid display manager that is systemd integrated, I don't use...
What if you start something else after init instead of the usual services configuration including systemd? Are some trying to enforce it by binding it to the default physical console I/O support, like, you get no stdio without systemd?
I'm not...
Alain De Vos, it does seem that X will be here for a long time. Shucks, it'll probably outlast me. There are also various alternatives, Xlibre being the best known, but there are others, including wayback by some alpine people which should (last...
They are really just catching up on lost ground since they moved from sysinstall -> bsdinstall.
Back then, you could select Gnome, KDE, etc from the installer too.
From my limited knowledge, FreeBSD is always been focus on being a server grade OS for stability, security and throughput. Hence, GUI applications including desktop will be provided via ports and probably will never be landed onto the base...
I'm not following the systemd discussion anymore. What are the critisizers talking about? Now it's related to age verification? Are they trying to close the services startup framework or bake it into hardware as ROM/firmware?
Sincerely, FreeBSD if comparing to a Linux distro is more like Debian server edition, RHEL server edition or Alpine.
Server by omission
Desktop works fine if you install the relevant packages
Reading the documentation is a good idea if you don't...
To emphasize what scottro said, KDE is not FreeBSD. It's never been part of the installation in the past. If it goes away, that doesn't affect the FreeBSD operating system whatsoever.
That worked for you "this time" - and that is good !
But going forward you should seriously consider looking at using ZFS snapshots instead. (See my early post on this).
Ilovehotdog, I get the impression that you're relatively new to FreeBSD. There's a discussion here about the desktop, but one point made several times is that even if it is included, it will just be an option. So, even if it included an...

It's disabled by default.
Well, you don't want to assign the same IP address to multiple interfaces at all as that would create an IP conflict. On 15 you should put the 'external' IP address on the bridge, not the uplink ethernet interface.

I usually just plug the USB-C from the power supply of the laptop directly into the phone. But keep that phone with open case and good ventilated, mine can fast charge the one-week battery in 2h.

Cgit has been quite flaky lately. I would suggest changing the URL and fetching the file from Github, Gitlab or one of the other "big" repository mirrors.
No, there's no way to "convert" a non-PD USB socket to a powered one. A standard USB 2.0 port can only deliver about 500 mA @ 5V, USB 3.0 extended this to about ~1A @ 5V. A USB-PD 3.1 port can deliver 5A @ 48V.
So, in order to add PD to an...
I have found that the cable you use has some bearing on whether fast charging works. I have a Baseus 100W GaN charger and fast charge only works when I use a cable with USB-C connectors at either end. A supposed fast charge cable does not work...
Can anyone explain what is happening when I get a response like that above?
I just got something similar after tethering via USB. I don't normally, but wondered what the cause was.
Fast charging a phone is a mystery to me. Some cables can do it others can't not sure what it depends on.
However, is there any way I can get a laptop to fast charge a phone?
Back in the 1980s the Australian Unix Systems User Group was very active and had bi-annual conferences with lots of interesting keynote speakers.
Richard Miller was one of them, on the subject of the Interdata V6 Unix port. I also remember...
