console

Hello. Ī am long accustomed to handling of video adapters by Linux. But now doing some setup and testing with FreeBSD 12.1 where things go differently. In spite of all my efforts, the system (except for Xorg) makes no reasonable job on video modes: not a single time did...

Good day! There is a port which provides matrix effect misc/termatrix. If it running by hand on a logged console all works, but I want to get it working right after booting. I try to do that by creating /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh su username -c /usr/local/bin/termatrix & After booting it starts...

In FreeBSD 12.1 backspace in terminal only deletes one byte of multi-byte character. For example: # cat > /tmp/test tы<backspace>t # cat /tmp/test t�t # hexdump -C /tmp/test 74 d1 74 0a Where 'ы' is a Russian letter (D18B in hexadecimal form). You may see that only second byte of multi-byte...

What am I missing? % cat /boot/loader.conf boot_multicons="NO" console="comconsole" boot_serial="YES" % conscontrol list Configured: ttyu1,ttyv0 Available: ttyu1,ttyv0 Muting: off I get boot messages on both ttyu1 and ttyv0. This is in BeagleBone Black, if it matters.

This is not about X. In general. For example, how to get console on LCD? When running the official FreeBSD 12.0 for BeagleBone I see: % grep fb0 /var/run/dmesg.boot fb0: <AM335x LCD controller> mem 0x4830e000-0x4830efff irq 43 on simplebus0 But there is no such device node. Am I missing something?

How to change the default serial console? I couldn't find any reference. In my case (BeagleBone Black) the boot messages and login prompt go to /dev/ttyu0. With the peripherals I use that port is not accessible, and I'd like to use /dev/ttyu1 instead. I don't care much about boot messages, but I...

First of all, hello to all members and the FreeBSD staff. First time here, I'm bruno from italy, a FreeBSD addicted (but also to other BSDs and micro-kernel architectures like Minix, and hybrid microkernel-BSD likes such as MacOsX), and a software programmer unemployed at the moment. Thank you...

Hello, i am having a problem getting FreeBSD to boot reliable on the Supermicro A2SDI-4C-HLN4F. Sometimes it works, most of the time it get stuck at the EFI boot block. I have tried setting the boot options to legacy but that did not help either. I thought i got it fixed by using UEFI and...

Hi there, I am new to BSD . Whenever I try running python or any other scripts from the internet (outside ports), my terminal/console would not recognize the new line escape sequence. It would just print it as a backslash and an N. for example, if I print the version info of the interpreter...

Can anyone recommend what other files like these I should read about that would help me understand whats going on in the console better? Using the bash shell. I'm a beginner. Thanks. EDIT:________________ Thanks for all the suggestions.

By default FreeBSD puts kernel messages (white color) on the first console. I know I can disable them with boot_mute in the /boot/loader.conf file, but is there a way to move them to second console instead of disabling them? ... or to redirect them to some file instead of disabling them...

This is a desktop system with Nvidia Quadro K2200 running FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE. The main monitor connected to DVI, the second one to DP. After switching from X to console by pressing Ctr-Alt-Fx the second monitor turns off (I don't care much about it), but when I return back to X it's not...

In my attempt to setup a file server I have encountered another problem: All files that contain Japanese characters in their name are displayed as xxxxx.odt, xxxxx.doc, xxxxxx.pdf etc. I am not using X11 but it should be possible for the console to properly display the filenames. What can be...

Good day! I like a _ cursor instead of block, in console. And in x11 terminals like x11/guake I can change cursor symbol, but in plain console I can't found way to change it. Is it possible?

Hello, I have a machine with 2 displays. When X session is not yet started, one of the displays remains inactive while the other shows a console. I use FreeBSD 10.3 with UEFI loader and vt console driver. It is smart enough to autodetect the display's native resolution (a line from dmesg)...

Dear all, I'd like to ask you for a little help here. I'm running FreeBSD 10.2 on a headless homeserver (ASRock Q1900-ITX MB with Intel J1900 CPU). I'm trying to build a Remote Access Card using a Raspberry Pi, which should act as a terminal server enabling me to connect to the homeserver...

Hello, I'm trying to change the console resolution to anything different from the default "640x400" and i have some problems. When i run vidcontrol -i mode i got 511 different modes, all with the same resolution 671404428x671404428 but i cannot change to any of that. Running vidcontrol -i...

Hi, I'm trying to get FreeBSD to play nicely on my eeePC 900AX. I'm using xfce4 and starting it using $ startxfce4 That's all good, the correct video driver is chosen etc. But when I "log out", I get a black screen instead of the expected shell prompt. The prompt is actually there and I can...

Hi to all! I am new to FreeBSD, and I have followed this guide (http://www.freebsdworld.gr/files/install10-us.pdf) to install and configure the system. I need to use the portuguese-brazilian (pt-br) keyboard layout, when I started the installation, a screen appeared asking what layout I wish...

I have done a little bit of searching around on this without luck. I apologize for the weak effort, but I am sick right now and don't feel like doing a lot of reading. Is there a way to enter a virtual console (tty?) while in an X environment? I'm looking for something like "Ctrl+Alt+F1" that...
