Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for a while and have always wanted to try FreeBSD on my X13 Gen 2 (AMD), but I've heard some concerns about Wi-Fi support.

Does anyone have experience with this setup? Specifically, I’d like to know:

• How’s the Wi-Fi performance? I’m currently getting around 90 MB/s on Linux. Would FreeBSD match that, or are the speeds capped? I’ve heard about a max speed of ~5 MB/s without using a cable—can anyone confirm or debunk this
• Does tp or auto-cpufreq work on FreeBSD? If not, are there alternative tools for power and CPU management?

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences or advice. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to mention, I have an AX200 Wi-Fi card.

Hello there!

I'm a long-time Linux user and recently bought a Tongfang-based laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735hs CPU and a RTX 3050 GPU and wanted to try if FreeBSD solves some problems that I'm facing with Linux, like random freezes and graphical glitches on certain DEs.

So, I'm wondering if my hardware is compatible with FreeBSD, I know that many manufacturers build laptops with the Tongfang hardware but I couldn't find any relevant info in the hardware compatibility page.

Thank you very much.

Hi guys,
I was a distro hopper for a year until I found my home with Arch Linux. Recently, I discovered an OS named FreeBSD. What I want to know is whether common Linux apps will work on it.

I have a very minimal setup with just 16 packages, and I’m using an old 2013 Intel ThinkPad. Is it worth trying FreeBSD in my case?

Thanks in advance!

iwlwifi0: Not associated and the session protection is over already.

Originally 14.1-release-p5, apparently reproduced with 14.2-BETA2.

During installation of 14.2-RELEASE:

I could not find a perfect match in Bugzilla.

The reporter noted:

Windows 11 Device Manager sees it as Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160Mhz

i have a system with an nvidia gpu and an integrated intel gpu, how would one use only the nvidia gpu in this case?

Other than FreeBSD which is my daily driver I have also used OpenBSD for a brief period. It wasn't bad but it ran a bit slower than FreeBSD on the same hardware.

I have never used NetBSD. I am deliberately asking this question here coz I want to know what FreeBSD users think of NetBD.

Have you used NetBSD? What's your opinion? Pros and cons?

I know that you can select the Dvorak layout when installing FreeBSD, however I'm struggling to get it to work on an already working system.
I've tried adding "keymap="us.dvorakx.kbd"" to the rc.conf. That hasn't worked.
The system is running FreeBSD 14.1 with KDE5 Plasma.

Only when I use this command does it change to Dvorak.

setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak-alt-intl

But the change is not permanent. How do I make it permanent?

It looks like I'm seeing the behaviour reported in this bugzilla for a Framework laptop, but in my case, on a Dell Latitude 7420 11th gen Intel i7.

Are others having issues with non-synaptics touchpads? Tap to click is very flaky, hard to aim and overall movement simply isn't smooth or responsive. The same libinput code and settings over on Linux are an entirely different story - smooth, precise, usable, which suggests this should be solvable.

Tested and seen the same behaviour on this laptop with 14.1, 14.2-RC1 and now 14.2-RELEASE (not expecting any differences, just being thorough with fresh, minimal, installs).

I have an N100 based mini PC https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-mini-s12-pro-n100

I installed drm-61-kmod via make install. While video works, I am unable to get audio over HDMI working. Apologies for the long post but any pointers welcome.

I have a Dell Latitude 7420, 11th gen Intel i7. The device supports S0, S4 and S5 - each are handled on Windows and Linux. S0 is a low power mode and while not as good as S3, and in practice on Linux has worked very well on this device.

0.169186] ACPI: PM: (supports S0 S4 S5)

On FreeBSD (14.1, 14.2-RC1) only S4 and S5 states show up as available:

hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S4 S5

S0 is notably absent, and S4 (hibernation), according to the Handbook, is not currently usable on today's FreeBSD.

Some notably large laptop makers have only been providing S0, S4, S5 support in recent years. With that backdrop, S0 support becomes rather important for mobile FreeBSD (and other OS) users.

Does anyone know if there is work to support S0 and, ideally also S4, as part of the recently announced laptop usability project?

i'm installing freebsd on an imac g4. the installation runs fine up until the point where i need to format my system drive. when i get to that point i have to choose APM because it's the only bootable partition scheme the mac can boot. the installer says that it doesn't have permission to select the partition scheme. how can i fix this?

FreeBSD manual pages list three types:

• Dual Band Wireless AC 7260
• Dual Band Wireless N 7260
• Wireless N 7260.

Early test results suggest that for mine to work with iwlwifi:

1. if_iwm must be in the devmatch_blocklist
2. if_iwlwifi should load automatically
3. if_iwlwifimust not be the final module in kld_list.

Questions

Does any other user of a 7260 have it working with iwlwifi with a variation from points 1–3 above?

If so, please state:

• the PCI ID, to help identify which of the three types is present
• the exact version of FreeBSD
• whether your port packages are from latest or quarterly

– and so on. Thanks.

There is a software that is distributed only as a Linux flatpak, I could use linuxanlator but it doesn't support flatpaks, I cannot install it from pkg. All I want is the ability to run flatpaks on FreeBSD, i'm fine without the sandboxing and other things.

Is there any way for me to do this?

Hello. I am trying to install FreeBSD on a laptop. I was able to easily install OpenBSD on the laptop. I have a simple installation of FreeBSD so far, with ZFS and Ethernet.

Round 1. I set up Wifi. The result would not pass DHCP, and yet prevented the Ethernet from working.

Round 2. I didn't set up Wifi, just Ethernet. I can ping bbc.co.uk. However, I am having difficulty setting up WiFi.

ifconfig                 # Ethernet, em0 and lo0, nothing else
pciconf -lbcev           # Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]
dmesg | grep Centrino    # the interface is iwn0
kldload if_iwn           # Module already loaded!

So the interface is iwn0, but this is not mentioned in ifconfig, and the module appears to already be loaded. Is this a driver problem ?

ZFS only. A seven-day poll, for people who do not use UFS.

Ignore the conventional wisdom, if you're willing …

vfs.read_max=0

– in /etc/sysctl.conf

Restart the OS. Let it all go – just use the OS as normal – for a few days.

For now, resist the temptation to measure or gather statistics.

Holistically, how did the OS feel?

View Poll

Hello everyone, i just wanted to open this thread to get some experience reports about FreeBSD For what did/do you use the OS? For how long did you use it? Did you encounter any difficulties? Any advantages / disadvantages over linux you noticed? Just share your thoughts and experiences, i am very curious

I myself have had quite good experiences with FreeBSD, but i want to widen my perspective about the whole Linux/BSD war

GhostBSD running on my old x230, love this laptop

Hello to everyone.

I'm trying to connect to my mobile phone using adb over wifi using the Linuxulator because I want to install a specific java application that requires Linux to work. I have already used Linux virtualized with bhyve and it worked. But I prefer to save some memory trying to use the Linuxulator instead of starting a vm,if possible. I've already tried to run the app using java installed natively on FreeBSD,but it fails because it wasn't designed for this. So :

[root@noble /]==> adb connect 192.168.1.2:5555

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
cannot bind 'tcp:5037'
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon

that's the error that I get. I'm not sure if I can use some trick or if there is anything that I can do because the Linuxulator does not support that in any way. Instead,if I launch it directly in FreeBSD,it works :

[root@marietto /home/marietto]==> adb connect 192.168.1.2:5555

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
connected to 192.168.1.2:5555

The problem is that the java app does not recognizes that the adb server is working :

[root@noble /home/marietto/Desktop/Files/OS/Linux/Tools/DeskDockServer_1.3.0]==> java -jar DeskDockServer_1.3.0.jar

1. I know FreeBSD is not officially supported by Wazuh developers!
2. I know about Alonso's great work at https://github.com/alonsobsd/wazuh-makejail

Facts: I used Wazuh 4.4.4 on FreeBSD 13.2 for two years (on a single machine with 10-15 agents, Wazuh managed to capture about 1.5 TB of data). No issues - that is FreeBSD. Set and forget! :)

According to our policy of not using end-of-life systems, I am trying to set up the latest available package, Wazuh-4.7.5, on FreeBSD 14.0 (14.1).

After a 3-day struggle, I encountered the following issues:

1. Wazuh on FreeBSD cannot use TCP/1514 communication with agents.
2. When using UDP/1514, the ossec.log file quickly fills with errors.

2024/11/15 14:33:03 wazuh-remoted: ERROR: socketerr (not available).

2024/11/15 14:33:03 wazuh-remoted: ERROR: (1210): Queue 'queue/sockets/queue' not accessible: 'Message too long'

2024/11/15 14:33:03 wazuh-remoted: INFO: Successfully reconnected to 'queue/sockets/queue'

3. Agents connect and work normally to the Wazuh server but disconnect after 10 minutes and never reconnect.

I have tried everything with ossec.conf (on Windows, FreeBSD, and Linux agents, as well as the server) and internal_options.conf without success. I also tried Alonso's https://github.com/alonsobsd/wazuh-makejail jail (Many, many thanks to José Alonso Cárdenas Márquez for his great work) with no success.

Any clue or advice on how to proceed will be appreciated.

Cheers
