Hi guys, another newbie here. I have a 10 yrs old notebook, 32 bit, 6 GB RAM. I would like to install FreeBSD 13 with DE on it. Any recomendation on which DE to use? I tried Xfce on VirtualBox but could not configure it properly

A few weeks ago i have finished reviving of a 14yo laptop. It can't address more than 3Gb but after changing cpu it IS capable to run 64bit OS. So 10 yo with 6Gb should be even more capable 😉

13 is better and will be final stable release in a few days

Has better gpu and overall performance 👍🏻

in version 5 brings the script?

It's a script which should be available on FreeBSD. One of the steps this script asks is which DE you want.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/unitrunker/desktop-installer

I guess the script is available on 13 also ... but I haven't checked

Once you install FreeBSD you would have to run the following commands: # pw groupmod video -m <your_user> # pw groupmod wheel -m <your_user> # pkg install desktop-installer # dekstop-installer

But better read the whole link

Here's the official link

guys I have ungualified hostname error, how can I fix this? (qemu legacy freebsd installation)

guys I have ungualified hostname error, how can I fix this? (qemu legacy freebsd installation)

Installing Qemu inside FreeBSD or installing FreeBSD inside Qemu in other OS?

I installed FreeBSD inside QEMU in Void Linux

What's the output of /etc/hosts ? If your unqualified host name isn't in /etc/hosts try adding it

Also, can Qemu access KVM?

Also, can Qemu access KVM?

yeah

If you can share a log in a bsd.to, pastebin or file format maye we get a clue on where's the issue. I'm not on Linux nor with Qemu but maybe someone has more knowledge on that and can help with a log

Hi guys, how can i use mixer command? it is a audio management program,IDK which package i should install; is anyone know?

yes yes, i should add mixer directory path to path variable.

it should already be there

the freebsd oss audio subsystem is really phenomenal, but I think the only thing missing is playback recording (I know that there is virtual_oss, but still), it would be nice to have this without going through userland

cat /dev/dsp2 > /dev/dsp1 where dsp2 is the recording device and dsp1 the speaker I don't know if it's okay ?

what I meant was that to record the outgoing audio of an userland application you have to go through userland with virtual_oss or sndio or another sound server

the thing is that outgoing audio is not avaiable to be read by a process using /dev/dsp* pseudofiles

Ah okay 😃

Can't get my sound go thru Lenovo docking station 🤷🏻‍♂

It's sound "routing" complications in oss i think. It works fine while direct attached to laptop 💁🏻‍♂

FreeBSD/arm64 becoming Tier 1 in FreeBSD 13

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

Can someone maybe give me a hint about devfs with UUID support for partitions? Which man page should I look at for that?

I have an USB stick with two partitions and would like to use the UUID of the first partition in a small script for automounting it when starting e.g. Plasma5

Under Linux it worked with /dev/disk/by-uuid/, but I didn't find a way for something similar on FreeBSD

what is the label of the disk? gpt?

what is the label of the disk? gpt?

Yes

you shoud have them at /dev/gptid, if not sysctl kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=1 and reboot

you shoud have them at /dev/gptid, if not sysctl kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=1 and reboot

Ah, thank you!

I'm sorry, put kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=1 in /boot/loader.conf and reboot

Thanks! 😁

no problem

you shoud have them at /dev/gptid, if not sysctl kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=1 and reboot

what should we do if label is mbr?

afaik mbr doesn't support uuids

so you could use labels with ufs and access partitions from /dev/ufs/

afaik mbr doesn't support uuids

my partition table is mbr and my file system is ufs. what should i do?

you should already have a /dev/ufs entry, if not your ufs partition doesn't have a label

you should already have a /dev/ufs entry, if not your ufs partition doesn't have a label

the /dev/ufs does not exists.

you could tunefs -L newlabel disk

and after reboot you should be able to access it by /dev/ufs/newlabel

and after reboot you should be able to access it by /dev/ufs/newlabel

that is gpart show output.

and after reboot you should be able to access it by /dev/ufs/newlabel

it is a problem the /dev/ufs does not exists?

or it is a normal ?

try gpart show -l, it should list partitions by name

or it is a normal ?

it is normal if every ufs partition isn't labelled

try gpart show -l, it should list partitions by name

partition names are (null).

partition names are (null).

as I said, your partitions aren't labelled, to label a partition use tunefs -L <newlabel> <partition>

as I said, your partitions aren't labelled, to label a partition use tunefs -L <newlabel> <partition>

if i do not run tunefs -L newlabel partition what will happen?
