Any tips for troubleshooting if Wifi works or not on GhostBSD? can see my ssid in netmgr but not connect

have you put dhcp_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf ?

that fixed it

Realtek what? Network card?

What works and what doesn't on BSD laptops, servers, desktop, etc. http://bsd-hardware.info/?view=computers

Hello everybody. Actually I downloaded FREEBSD 13.1 DVD1 , but I have some problems with my DVD device. I want to know is there any method to make a bootable USB using Iso image???!!!!

Download the img file

You can always try to burn the dvd iso into a usb

Use dd in Linux/BSD systems or rufus if you are on Windows

No you can't

Use the .img file. Linux iso-files are iso/image hybrids so dd'ing to USB drive and booting works. It wont on FreeBSD

Oh, thanks for clarifying

Hey guys, an opinion poll: Why would you use (Free)BSD rather than GNU/Linux ? 🤔

Hey guys, an opinion poll: Why would you use (Free)BSD rather than GNU/Linux ? 🤔

It's a very personal question, as stated in the documentation > https://www.freebsd.org/advocacy/myths/#beaten In my case I use it because of the good documentation, the ZFS implementation and the ports collection

Use dd to write image to USB stick. Insert the flash drive and display dmesg to make sure of the device name. Let's see an example assuming your USB device is /dev/da0 # dd if=FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m status=progress 🤔

I downloaded .iso file instead of .img would it work??

Is this still true ?

all i know is 0ad runs w/ free inside of vmware VM

supposedly, he's talking about running windows guests with gpu passtrough from a FreeBSD host. But as it's just a screenshot of some assert without context or any evidence on the real subject, thrown there on the ground, there's not much to say

Indeed

@Leuchs what are you seeking with your questions? Is there something you need from BSD that Linux can't offer?

I want to make an informed decision to know if it's worth making the transition or not, but it seems so.

It depends on what you want to do with the OS (:

All BSD's derivates are not exactly the same in many aspects but historically shares the same codebase and culture. I can recommand you to install some release on a real hardware, reading the installation guides, documentations and faqs carefully. You'll be aware what works for you or not. @Leuchs

It depends on what you want to do with the OS (:

I want to run more clients of an MMO-RPG within VMM-Xen virtual machines.

Up to 10 virtual machines simultaneously.

( With an RX 5700 XT )

you can't run more than one OS that have access to one graphical card at a time

if you want to run 10 VM that access a real GPU, you need 10 GPUs

...Terrible limitation.

basically the same for any OS

but you can avoid assigning GPU's and do proxying of computation requests with virtio for example

Just a theoretical question, and i do not really know stuff, But couldnt a sufficient video card be time-multiplexed? Like, you do 300 reassignments of the card per second, each round robin'ing through the vms - et voila: it seems as if all guests had their own video card delivering 30 fps?

you would need to create a driver for this and the memory management will be complex

good luck lol

I'll watch you doing that if you do :)

I'm wondering if there's any value in having something read the auth.log file and output a list and count of invalid or disconnected ssh attempts... I wrote a simple script in Python just to see the results, for fun.

but based on the results, you probably don't won't to have a password login for any of these user ids (I use key auth anyway): admin user ubuntu debian pi

Lynis is an excellent tool that you can use for system hardening, compliance testing and general system auditing. It works by going through a checklist that covers a lot of the basics for hardening/compliance and gives you a very nice overview of where your system stands. It is available in most Linux package repositories. https://cisofy.com/lynis/

Example of just a few of the things that Lynis covers.

I joined to ask, dosent hardened BSD cover all these kernel features which Lynis offers?

the bectl are backups sort of. i suppose ya could copy and tar those.

no. snapshots != backup

no. snapshots != backup

really ? so when you activate one what is it going to be ?

the tar file is the backup of your snapshot ... I just stress that everytime someone suggests a zfs snapshot is a backup just to prevent beginners to believe that all they need is a zfs snapshot so nobody has to cry in case of a zfs bug

so when you mount one to recover config files ain't that "SORT OF" a backup ?

as it were/was

Why python script? Just use grep(1) grep -i -E "ssh|extra" /var/log/auth.log

Hello everyone, I have translated some of the basics of FreeBSD to get you started. If you are interested you can visit https://mfga.bsdcn.org I would appreciate it if someone could improve the translation. https://github.com/FreeBSD-MFGA/FreeBSD-MFGA

Hi, when I was upgrading python38 to python39 ports according to UPDATING, I got the rrdtool upgrade failed with the following error:

===> Checking if rrdtool is already installed ===> Registering installation for rrdtool-1.7.2_6 pkg-static: pkg_checksum_hash_sha256_file(read failed): Is a directory *** Error code 1

Does anyone know what's wrong with that? Thanks...

use tar or any other backup program

Installing a Desktop Environment on FreeBSD This quick video guide walks through setting up the XFCE desktop environment on a fresh FreeBSD installation.The guide covers installing packages, configuring and editing multiple configuration files with the vi editor, and booting directly into the desktop environment.
