HERE: https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4476 Let me paste it below, dunno how long it will hang on the net. The Truth about Linux 4.6 by spender » Sat May 14, 2016 1:06 pm As anticipated in public comments, the Linux Foundation is already beginning a campaign to rewrite...

I'm trying to setup my nvidia drivers and have been following the handbook, I have installed xorg and enabled linux_enable="YES" It says: When I did that I got this response: # sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.32 -> 2.6.18 This makes me wonder if I am...

I want to chainload my FreeBSD system from Archlinux using systemd-boot (previously known as gummiboot) and I'm wondering if this is possible. My FreeBSD system is 10.3 running UEFI root on ZFS. Is there anyway I can either load the kernel, chainload the bootloader or do something so that I am...

Hi, I'm a Linux user(ArchLinux) thinking about switching to FreeBSD. After a bit of googling, the only doubt I have left is what game/multimedia programming libraries are there for FreeBSD. I searched for some and found out that there are sdl and allegro ports, although these libraries don't...

(Posting to the "General" forum because I could not find another forum that was better suited to the topic; feel free to relocate the discussion if it belongs elsewhere) I am developing an application that will run on a server which will be exposed to the Internet; I have persuaded my employer...

Hi! According to the FreeBSD handbook, before installing the emulators/linux_base-c6 port/package in order to enable Linux compatibility, you should do sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 but, if I am right, the latest emulators/linux_base-c6 port/package is based on a newer Linux kernel...

Hi, I've been playing with the Linuxulator in an attempt to be able to do FPGA programming entirely in FreeBSD. I have the Altera Quartus software (which is unfortunately only provided as a Linux binary) running fine now after much work, mainly in installing libraries manually before I realised...

Hi, I downloaded an 2,7 GB ISO image and copied to a pen drive formatted as ext2. The copying progress started with a write speed of 3 MB/s and went slower and slower and ended with a write speed of 627 KB/s. The copy process took me 47 minutes and I decided to test the write speed of Debian...

Hi! Maybe this is a stupid thread, but I think all stupid questions in this forum may help some people looking at Google :rolleyes: The question is: what is the difference between /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf?, that is, for example, to have linux_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf or to have...

Hello. Probably the title is a bit confusing so let me explain: At the moment I am a Linux user (unsupported Fedora version) but will migrate to FreeBSD in the near future, so I would like to backup my data in an external hard drive to use it in the future system. However, being a non-technical...

Hi! I'm having troubles trying to communicate to an USB device (usb2serial cable attached to a VantagePro2). It seems I'm not understanding how devfs works. This is the ruleset I created for the jail: [devfsrules_jail_allow_usb=10] add include $devfsrules_hide_all add include...

I'm in the middle of reorganizing my servers and network structure. So I thought it's a good opportunity to rethink my backup strategy. At the moment I just send incremental ZFS snapshots to an other box. (Which worked fine) Now I have an additional storage server and I'm thinking about to use...

Anyone have experience using RPM with Linux Binary Compatibility? How easy is to use it? You just install and it works or it needs additional tweaking or something else? Is it possible to install RPM of LibreOffice (version 5) and Skype with Linux Binary Compatibility?
