Did you try any other browser, e.g. Chromium?

It will be an endless cycle until they do manage to build several versions of electron. Example: Electron is present --> Apps are consuming it --> Electron update --> Apps are updated to use the newer version ---> New electron version have to be...

podman installs from the package manager now. Broken dependencies have been fixed.

No disagreement here. I just wonder what the technical reason is for the OP being unable to join. I see no sign of pilot error so far.

I don't disagree, but also fail to understand what's unreliable here. Still, it would be nice if the site could focus on more parts of the community than merely the forum & mailinglists. Maybe a mention of (unofficial) online communities...

Well. I still think there should be a reliable way to join the FreeBSD discord, no?

I can't help but consider the complaint bogus. If there is an issue it's with OP's local setup, not the wiki nor the links. My client is on Windows and I don't really use Discord all that often (do have it running in the background). So I click...

Hmmm. It worked for me, but that was some time ago and I can't re-test since I'm already in. I posted a message about this inside the discord. Let's see.

Good find T-Daemon! However... I think there's more to this story. When I check vt it confirms that the default on BIOS is text mode, but... So theoretically it should also be possible to use fonts when booting with BIOS. However, it's going...

As of today, FreeBSD Forums staff will actively close down (and eventually remove) topics that serve no other purpose than to complain that "FreeBSD is not (like) Linux" (or Windows, or MacOS, or any other operating system), or that "FreeBSD does...

The VirtualBox VM is running in BIOS mode. Since 14.2-RELEASE, BIOS systems loader supports text mode only in vt console [1]. This means there is no font and no graphical images (ASCII instead of image FreeBSD logo at the boot menu) frame buffer...

Even if you don't, no problem at all. If you are interested in details you don't understand, just ask. Besides me, there are many other forum users who would be happy to explain. Good find. Skimming through the article, it has all the details...

Thanks! At some point in the distant future I may understand all of that! ;) Thanks for the tip about the PR! I'm assuming you're referring to this. As soon as I've read the instructions, I'll get right on it!

It seems S4 requires machine BIOS/UEFI S4BIOS support: acpi hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state ... S4 Suspend to disk. All devices are powered off, and the system stops running. When...

S4 means suspend to disk. There are certain requirements before that works, you need a special partition for example. Why S3 is not listed cannot be said from here without more information.

Nowadays, everything is "Fast, cheap or good. Pick two."

Same touchpad issue on P14s, had to disable iichid. By the way, can you try the following for the NVIDIA card and see if it helps with power consumption on your end? Definitely does on mine. # Set persistence mode to on and power limit to 1W...

Hello everyone, For the interest of the community, I managed to get my new P1 to a working state. Issues: - can't fully disable NVIDIA (options are hybrid or dedicated, no Intel-only option) - extreme number of interrupts eating constantly 10%...

This sounds like a UFS installed system not finding the right partition from /etc/fstab to boot from due to device name change. Boot the pendrive, mount the UFS system partition, run gpart show -p, check which partition the freebsd-ufs is...

According to documentations Intel ARC requires 6.2 Linux to work properly. There is graphics/drm-66-kmod in ports, supported on the 15 and STABLE 14 branches. https://www.freshports.org/graphics/drm-66-kmod#description...

Try to arrange the disk (boot) order in the machines BIOS/UEFI.

There is also WasIstLos which is an unofficial WhatsApp desktop application written in C++ with the help of gtkmm and WebKitGtk libraries. I made a port for it but it's not has been submitted yet.

There is a web client you can use in a browser like firefox: https://web.whatsapp.com That works fine on freebsd.

Hi, I came across this blog post and thought that you guys would probably enjoy it. The article is about a guy who had this interesting idea of hosting his blog on a Nintendo Wii by installing NetBSD on it which is already known for such...

This usually happens when/during "suspend" or power problem and session is some how messed up. Close all windows in all desktops. Open session manager. Delete current session. Log out. Log in. Restore whatever u like how u like. Open session...

Maybe you could try add pptdevs="0/20/3" to /boot/loader.conf.

It's applicable only when any of graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod is in use, but Op's case is not (x11/nvidia-driver only).

Have you tried setting hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1 in /boot/loader.conf and rebooted?

Are you doing this on an actual virtual console (/dev/ttyv0) or are you logged in and thus using pseudo terminals / virtual consoles like /dev/pts/0? Because that can make a major difference.

I had that happen; I kept toggling different wallpaper settings and eventually it activated a solid color.

The bottom line : I checked my 2 memory sticks, in each socket, and identified the gulty one (the other passes memtest86 in each socket). I ordered 2 new memory sticks, and while I'm waiting, I rebuilt my home server from scratch with the good...

It runs but I wouldn't call it a success: total duration: 4h46m50.210811693s load duration: 1m18.026749083s prompt eval count: 379 token(s) prompt eval duration: 23m9.256564s prompt eval rate: 0.27 tokens/s eval count...

Thank you, I'll try it immediately

Well, I have a 14.0-RELEASE working, it was upgrades step-by-step from 12.2-RELEASE, some problems in the middle but nothing very important. When now I'm trying to upgrade from 14.0 to 14.2 appears that I have to merge the file auto_master or so...

Hello, it worked for me when changing the color style to something else (like Horizontal gradient) and then back to Solid color.

There is a unofficial Linux client: net-im/linux-whatsdesk From the description I can't tell if it is a full replacement: Description: WhatsDesk is an unofficial client of whatsapp. This project is only inserting an instance of...

Apparently WhatsApp web is the only "official" version for Linux, according to the Archwiki. They're loading it with Chromium. Don't know if this would work with Chromium on FreeBSD but it's worth a shot. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WhatsApp

Wow, thank you for such an informative answer! I'll keep an eye on that bug and may look at trying14.3-prerelease. I guess that's an excuse to give system ZFS snapshots a try.

The screenshot was taken from a VirtualBox VM. The options selector appears only when there are supported pci wifi and, I believe, display devices present on the system which require firmware. Since VirtualBox doesn't support pci passthrough...
