I guess what I’m looking for is something like a FreeBSD equivalent of a Xubuntu, i.e. a minimal XFCE DE with non free hardware/driver support out of box and some basic GUI utilities (pulse audio, network manager, etc) I think giving GhostBSD another try is my best bet

yes Ghost is ok.

Like do you only i3, dwm etc? I tried once but it seems hard if your not familiar with keybindings and setting up configs
Learn vi(1) and get familiar with it, then you'll really get comfortable with the keyboard and start to set up your own key bindings

That's a FreeBSD man-page in a fullscreen terminal on 3840x2160 - this is simply pointless

You can change it.

With an environment variable.

Read man(1).

Oh wow, all I needed was "export MANWIDTH=tty"? I had no idea, thank you!

If you use tcsh or csh: $ printf "%s\n" "setenv MANWIDTH 110" >> ~/.cshrc If you use bash: printf "%s\n" "export MANWIDTH=110" >> ~/.bashrc (You can change the number)

Well, I'd votged fhe bigger font, wide text is clearly becoming less readable IMHO…

I'm running on 1920x1080, yet the man page takes up the whole terminal space

What shell are you using? because bash has checkwinsize command to set ROWS and COLUMNS env variable, I think this might solve your problem

or this, I didn't know man had its own way of doing it

Yea that magically works, what I use now is just # use full terminal width for man pages on FreeBSD if [[ "$(uname)" == FreeBSD ]]; then export MANWIDTH=tty fi in my ~/.env file which gets sourced from shell initialization files.

Vim should be good too? I know very basic Vim😅
there's no reason to use vi these days

I see, we have a Vim cleaning agent in Nam😅

As far as I know, it doesn't. At least in the pkg

Yes
Advanced programming in the UNIX environment The course is taught on NetBSD, but it should work fine on FreeBSD https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/

If you want to learn Vim I can suggest a place here at Telegram to do so

Using X's clipboard feature?
Anonymous
So when you copy in vim, it also gets stored in Xorgs clipboard buffer?
Anonymous
Well that's a neet feature I need to enable
Candy
So when you copy in vim, it also gets stored in Xorgs clipboard buffer?
Normally in vim, you use the + register as the clipboard. So "+y and "+p copies + pastes from the X11 clipboard. I don't think this needs any patches. It's a standard Vim feature.
XS
vim needs to be built with X support for X clipboard to work
XS
Yah, afaik it's disabled in most places, OpenBSD do provide an x11 bin flavour but idk for FreeBSD
XS
X is not necessarily used where vim can be, when you deploy vim on headless system you usually don't require X and thus, that programs supports it
Candy
FreeBSD has a vim-x11 package. The vim-gtk3 package should also support the X11 clipboard
Candy
You can on Arch if you install gvim
XS
it's actually official vim provided by vim packages
XS
just configure flags changing
Candy
It enables it in the regular vim binary too when you install the gvim package. It's all part of "official vim"

Live booting FreeBSD is the best way to find out

What to do after live boot?
Test if your hardware works For example see if your Ethernet card works ( it most likely is supported ) by trying to connect to your router
Anonymous
Ethernet works, it worked in 12 also. Wireless doesn't work
I'm guessing your wireless card doesn't show up as an interface when running ifconfig?
XADE
Test if your hardware works For example see if your Ethernet card works ( it most likely is supported ) by trying to connect to your router
thats not an efficient way, check every hardware is not possible in freebsd live boot & will consume time
XADE
simply hw-probe

which card ?

Download GhostBSD and run it live, if wifi works you can see which driver it uses

Also pciconf -lv

Anybody here use DSBMC to automount removable usb devices? I have set up DSBMC and everything mounts perfectly and i can access the drives. My problem is it takes like 10 minutes before it recognizes the pendrive/USB storage, WHY is that?🤔
Jaco
This is DMESG output after it has mounted through DSMBC
Jaco
As you can see i have millions of tabs open in the background about this issue😅
XS
have you the same error with another usb stick ? It seems the issued command fails and the retry is taking the time you wait / 3
XS
is that an USB 3 port ?
Jaco
is that an USB 3 port ?
I believe so yes, built in with laptop
XS
okay, same problem with other USB ports ?
Jaco
okay, same problem with other USB ports ?
1 usb port has died but the other 2 has the same time issue yes
XS
seems there's some issue with the hardware support
