Please explain what a FULL usb cable is and how I identify one.

What kind of device are we talking about? Doesn't the device itself show when it's being charged? Phones all have a battery icon with a special lightning bolt. Same for portable media players. Many earbud cases have a button to check the status...

I hate when people describe fonts as ugly. Ugly is subjective. Are they ugly, but the correct fonts? Or are they the wrong fonts? And do the fonts look roughly the same on other browsers or is it just Firefox? If you override the font in the...

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, you need a certain amount of active users in order to get the necessary apps that people actually need for something other than iOS or Android. But, if you don't have those apps it can be hard to get...

How did you install those fonts?

Depends, if it's a USB power cable, no, because there's no data connected. Also some devices might have a charging only option, even if you used a "full" USB cable there's still no data connection between the host and the device.

No, if it is just charging it would not show up in usbconfig. You should buy a USB powermeter. Very handy and they also answer questions like this one.

If charging a device via a USB port, is there any indication that charging is taking place? Should the device show up under lsusb/usbconfig ?

If the unit works fine in Linux but not FreeBSD the first thing to check is whether Linux has applied any USB quirks that FreeBSD did not. Linux has a much larger base of quirks than FreeBSD. Could you post `dmesg` from when you connect the...

I've got sway working on a 9070 XT with the following: FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #4 main-n285754-242050278a37: drm 6.12 kmod firmware 20260309+, see here: Update firmwares for DRM drivers from Linux 6.12.81 drm-kmod-firmware#42 Multimonitor works...

The kmods are in a kmods_latest_N/kmods_quarterly_N directory, that construct never existed on 13.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/6af0a0de7827dbdd9e51ca0eb8e9cd2948bb1541 I didn't think it was that old.

This appears fixed in 15.1-STABLE, based on my installation of a 15.1-STABLE kernel this morning. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295986

One good option is to have a USB enclosure, assuming your computer has an option to boot from it, preferably with a disk which has Ventoy installed which gives an option to boot from ISOs or any bootable partition you have set up on the disk.

It makes things even easier if you set up a network with a central server.

Any idea why CUDA works in this context (podman) but not in a plain Linuxulator?

I suspect it tries to fetch the packages through tor. Probably not a good idea. This is going to bite you at some point too.

well, I've had issues with USB connected DVD burners that thankfully does not happend with SATA -bus connected Internal DVDplayers. then again We always used USB connected DVDplayers with an external PSU, for SPARC/Solaris...

I generally set it at 5% personally. But if you don't need to ability to repair files, mtree is great for quickly identifying bad files if you burn the list to disc.

Ir's good now. Just changed the (apparent) active DVI-VGA converter cable to a passive connector that just connects the different wires. I have bad eyesight. Just didn't see the black cable in-between the display output line. Nvidia doesn't even...

I just noticed. When did this disappear? Is there any list of all possible primary device names in FreeBSD? coincidentally, I now need this. Trying to make a script that adds all local storage devices that it can write to and contain a flag file...

I'm using a PCI AR9462 ― if it helps in the aspect of chipset. Works very reliably with good speed, just checked with speedtest: Download: 165.09 Mbps Upload: 103.38 Mbps

There's an ASR thread discussing the PO100 here https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/smsl-po100.32061/ This evening I've been listening to: thinkpad X220 running freebsd 14.4R + PO100 + WM8740 + HD8-A1 + DT990 PRO's, and it...

I think it's spdif only, there's no mention of ADAT in the manual. https://device.report/manual/15518466 There's a write-up on headfi here https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/smsl-po100.25923/ I think it's pretty useful if you have an existing dac...

They are formatted CSV with those fields so you can import them into a proper SDR Receiver application. Its what most scanners use. gqrx-scan for example.

Partially true now. I'm running a secondary laptop with the original FreeBSD laptop for a lot of things right now. 100% hardware support issues. . Ditto bud It really feels like what Unixy OSes are supposed to be. I loved it. Lol no. I also...

I didn't do anything special since I installed that module to replace the original one in my ThinkPad X1 Yoga. Just reused the same cables. I really don't remember what was the original WiFi module, but it was unbearably slow.

How do you do with antennae? 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz plus blue tooth?

I needed to mount a USB Backup SSD. The newer "fusefs-ntfs-2022" package had the ntfs-3g command in it. I thought it was a stand alone ntfs driver. Thanks for pointing me to it.

Yes, the one I mentioned above: Mini PCIe AR9462, right now: channel 112 (5560 MHz 11a ht/40-) Works very reliably, never experienced issue.

Is someone using a 5 GHz device? USB? PCI? PCIe? Mini PCIe? Does Work it reliable?

Optical drives in general suck in large part due to the time it takes to swap discs when verifying the backups. But, for best results, using par2 helps a lot in terms of verifying and repairing the damage for things where using optical discs for...

Is that thing doing ADAT as well or just S/PDIF?

Hey all, I've got a really weird issue with the joypad I usually use with FreeBSD. Here's the dmesg output: ugen1.5: <ShanWan PS3/USB Corded Gamepad> at usbus1 usbhid2 on uhub0 usbhid2: <ShanWan PS3/USB Corded Gamepad, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00...

This is much better than USB harddrives. You can feed the NAS backup in a way that a possibly compromised primary machine cannot delete snapshots.

The disadvantage of harddisks as backup, even if you do snapshots on them, is that most people leave them permanently connected. Or at least connect them regularly. That makes the whole construct vulnerable to randomware attacks or random...

The output is HDMI converted to VGA. It has a HDMI to VGA converter on the monitor that I forgot existed. It's because I had no HDMI input port left on the monitor. The converter cable has a wire breach. The card also has DVI and Displayport ...
