@n0madcoder I installed version 13, and I wonder if it is necessary to install drm-kmod for my integrated graphics intel

If you want hardware accelerated graphics it's recommended. Otherwise your gpu functionality is going to be limited

OK, OK thank you. Xq in / usr / ports / graphics I get several like drm-kmod drm-devel-kmod drm-current-kmod drm-fbsd12.0-kmod drm-fbsd13.0-kmod

If you are in 13, use: libdrm and drm-fbsd13.0-kmod

lidrm should I also compile? When I did make install in drm-fbsd13.0-kmod it throws make error

May I ask why are you building from ports?

Because it is said that from the ports it would be better

It is if you need certain compilation flags to be toggled (on or off) but for a normal desktop usage, pkgd should work fine

Okay. From the binaries, what would it be called then? Or with drm-kmod

$ doas pkg install libdrm drm-fbsd13.0-kmod

hi guys, I am using FreeBSD 13 with GNOME3 desktop and GDM. After suspend, I cannot login with my user account (password verification takes forever or I got "Authentication" error even when using correct password). I can login with my root user. Any experience or thoughts on this?

take out GDM use sddm try that and why gnome ? anything other :D

on new installs of 13 there has been a TON of updates. have you done the updates ?

short story: i did a pkg autoremove it took out gnome !! .. had to reinstall. anyway try sddm.

based

hahaha me either or ubuntu not real happy linux went to systemd devuan is still init YEA !!

Wait you can use gnome3 ? Doesn't it need systemd?

helloSystem - A FreeBSD flavored desktop helloSystem is an interesting operating system from the person behind AppImage. It’s a desktop OS that’s designed to be elegant and simple to use. At the heart of helloSystem is FreeBSD which it’s based on. It’s intended to be a system for “mere mortals” and it’s look and feel should feel welcoming to traditional mac users. — However helloSystem insists that this is more than just a theme or a clone of something that came before it. HelloSystem is a desktop operating system using the latest technologies and puts the user first giving them full control over their system. — Learn more about hello system: https://hellosystem.github.io/ — Tyler's Tech. channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TylersTechNow

Just curious, which machine is the keyboard from your profile pic?

My bet is for Spectrum (Sinclair)

found smth thank you anyway

Hello. How can I make efi's virtual terminal reduce its font size when the system starts up?

Use a. Tiny virtual keyboard like that Sinclair model above. This is a good question to have answered about font selection size in EFI boot mode.

It is something related to the freambuffer of vt. I put in /boot/loader.con

No graphics acceleration?

Is it because FreeBSD software is obsolete and that nowadays software should be modern like Linux?

Hi folks. I just freshened my laptop (new processor, new qwerty keyboard, and fresh 1Tb ssd) and am willing to install a triple openbsd, FreeBSD, ArchLinux boot. I am also willing to go for full encryption, if I can manage. Does anyone know about this w/ FreeBSD ? The official documentation from the handbook does not seem to detail that specific case but only post-install encrypted disk addition. Unless I have misread. Is there a reference documentation for encrypted FreeBSD 13 installation ? There are also two other important details : sharing a partition between all three systems that should also be encrypted, and using a bootloader that can manage these. Regarding the first point, from what I have found the only solution is ext2 + encfs. Which is fine to me. Regarding the second point, I have been using rEFInd up to now, I do not know if it works with an encrypted EFI partition or even with simply booting encrypted systems, although I suppose this is on the part of their respective efi bootloaders. Any help appreciated :) Thank you !

I installed arch on zfs natively encrypted. I really wanted to avoid luks as it’s a pool made out of two disks

what wrong with luks

I would have had to stack it, and didn’t like doing that on a multi disk stripe

you could've used LVM

I don’t want to play LEGO with hard drives and partitions

Oops sorry I meant to ask here for FreeBSD specifically, of course. (edited) I'll manage for openbsd and Arch on their respective docs/forum ;) But tbh the reason I ask is I can't seem to find proper official FreeBSD documentation on this (encrypted install).

ZFS has been merged, same for Linux and FreeBSD. Look it up on how to enable zpool encryption

isnt ZFS a filesystem? how does it have the ability to encrypt itself?

how's support for ZFS in the linux kernel in general? does it work as well as it does on freebsd?

I installed arch on zfs natively encrypted. I really wanted to avoid luks as it’s a pool made out of two disks

btw, who does the decryption of the ZFS partition? the initramfs?

Yes same as luks, you are prompted for a password when initramfs mounts the pool
