Hello, I didn't know where to put this so i'm asking here. I don't like asking n00b questions and always told to look at the man page or the manual so i'm here asking what is the best way to read it and understand it.. For freebsd im looking at https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Can...

I understand that this might not be viewed very favorably, but I couldn't really find much about this. I read a few threads on this Forum about USB/IP but there doesn't seem to be much support for the protocol on BSD? I'm trying to create a VM to which most of my USB ports will be passed...

I have been setting up freebsd the past few days and can't find a fix for my keyboard issue. My laptop keyboad and trackpad work when typing in the hard drive password and the boot menu. Once in the terminal both stop working, but a usb keyboard does work. dmesg recognizes them. Was wondering if...

Hey! I'm new to freeBSD and, after a little fight with xorg and the nvidia drivers I finally got to launch xorg and configure all of my monitors. Except for one. The laptop's internal monitor, and it's not even listed with % xrandr : Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 32767...

Apologies if the title was vague, I'll try my best to explain. I'm new to the UNIX booting process and the components of such systems at this level. Resources I'm using: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/command-line-manual-installation-how-to-with-video-if-needed.83934/...

Hello. I am a long time RHEL user in the ISP space, alongside running hobby game servers. I have recently taken an interest in FreeBSD or at least giving it a shot as a hobbyist, I have made an installation and was made aware Wi-Fi Support on BSD isn't the best and didn't support my current...

No audio output on my Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro. Also, it seems like I can only get audio on the internal sound card if I plug my headphones in. I must note that the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro are using their own external DAC/ADC. To check on the status of audio through USB I tried also...

FreeBSD laptop speakers don't work but external headphones work.

I am trying to setup FreeBSD with wayland server in a laptop with Intel Integrated graphics that I have, it is a Acer Aspire R11, that was gifted to me, but I am being unable to setup the Wayland server as it gives me this error: Jul 27 05:44:10 hostname seatd[11813]: 01:00:26.534 [INFO]...

So, I'm pretty new to FreeBSD and got a task to make a game in Python. I have installed Python and got a file saying "Run python" within my applications in KDE Plasma, but when I press it nothing happens. How do you set it up and get it running? Or did I install it in the wrong way?

So I installed a fresh system using ZFS with my home directory at /Users/joshua (I'm also a MacOS user so it feels familiar lol) and I noticed that /home still exists and is set in zroot. I suppose that's normal because the system probably assumes that other users would have their homes there...

My mouse isn't working, I am running a FreeBSD install using KVM, I have xorg, KDE and even tried adding moused_enable="YES", tried to even change mouses but doesn't work, can someone help me out? It's not just left or right click, I can't do anything at all with the mouse

Is is possible to write to a raw disk like /dev/da0 or /dev/da0s1 while it is mounted? I've been trying an asking around IRC but nobody knows how or even if its possible. This is trivial on a linux system. sorry that i have to bring it up but really... Things I tried (as root, obviously)...

I don't usually have my CPU on 100% load for extended periods of time, but I've been recently getting into mining monero and so have been running my FreeBSD machine overnight while the mining software maxes out the CPU usage. I was pretty surprised when I woke up to the computer having shut...

I've recently switched to FreeBSD from OpenBSD and I've been trying to get suspend / resume to work. Using zzz appears to successfully suspend the system (the case lights blink as expected, fans shut off, etc), but when I try to resume the system the system boots as if it was never suspended and...

I'm working on a project about recompiling Linux binaries to FreeBSD. No, I'm not talking about Linux binary compatibility. I want to do something different. I know FreeBSD and Linux are two different OSes, and it's very hard or maybe impossible to do something like that, but all fine... I will...

Hello, I am currently using FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT and I found a bug that triggers a kernel panic. I wanted to make a kernel crash dump to further investigate the issue, but after a few tries I still did not manage to do it. I started by following the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook. I check...

After switching from linux, one of the biggest things i miss is nicotine+ (Soulseek Client) It has been deleted from the ports but is there a way to still get it? Thanks.
