A Quick Installation Of FreeBSD 13.0

i can not open display/ wtf

Very Clear Speech !!!

i followed this video but i get "can't find boot/kernel/kernel", i've never touched BSD before so i don't understand what went wrong.

When I try to install "Xorg" on my desktop, it said, "failed to extract pkg-static; failed to create directory". What does it mean ?

woooooweeeee finally thank you so much after several dayss!!!

I love that the installer looks exactly the same as when I installed 4.0 back in the day lol

Very useful guide. I did this on hyper-v with a gnome GUI but I had to add a line “kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6” to /etc/sysctl.conf to get the keyboard working. According to a few forum posts there was a recent change to get it working on Hyper-v. Only issue is that it has to be done prior to having the gui run at startup.

"Unix-like" isn't it literally Unix?

Great video. Thanks.

thanks! _ | liked this.

I've been using FreeBSD off and on since 2.1.6. Prior to that I cut my teeth in the IT business supporting Suns when the Sun SPARCstation 1 made its debut in 1989. SunOS 4.x is a BSD variant.

In my last house in my loft/office area I had a FreeBSD computing cluster and lab running FDDI and 100BTX hardware with a Cisco 4700M, a C1400 FDDI concentrator and a Cisco WS-C2924M-XL. FDDI NICs were dirt cheap on eBay plus I like the redundant architecture of FDDI. I had a Sun 386i and a Sun 4c/60 (SPARCstation 1) in my test area. I also a SCO Xenix and upgraded to a ISC Unix 2.x UUCP site in my apartment. This was back when the Internet was a network of dialup systems and also during the dialup BBS era. My loft/office was a Unix geek's paradise. I could have run a small ISP and hosting service out of my home.

I absolutely hate Linux. There are times I will use some canned disaster recovery distributions on a USB drive, but other than that. BLAH! If I need to go and wrench my servers and the operating system, I will choose FreeBSD or any BSD, for that matter, long before I'll dink with Linux.

If you're running a server farm or a custom firewall/router/VPN, I would run BSD.

It's also important to note that FreeBSD, and probably all BSDs, have Linux emulation. There's a lot of cross pollination of code between BSD and Linux and between the three BSD projects; Free, Net and Open. Just because it doesn't exist in FreeBSD doesn't mean you can't make it run under FreeBSD.

I need help on how i can install FreeBSD on a laptop computer using a USB drive.

Got back into FreeBSD recently. It's actually a very fleshed out OS these days. The Linux Compatibility layer is not as good as it could be, but it is good enough to work well with a lot of software, and I have been experimenting with emulators and some games. It really feels closer to Slackware than other Linux distributions.

FreeBSD is a great OS! :)

The first non windows os I installed in my life was freebsd in the 1990s. I must say I didn't try it since, time to poke the demons.

DT: Strong and complicated password
Also DT: two letter password

what a miserable experience. i really want windows alternatives to succeed in the market of regular users, but with UX like this it's not happening any time soon.

Hi Dt would be great if you can do a demonstration of installing Xmonad or Qtile on FreeBSD? Would be great to see how viable a platform it could be as a daily driver

"sudu"

Maybe its just me? But its cool that there is an operating system out there. Its just that that's it.
and it's weird to me that all of the distributions that are made for Linux well there doesn't really seem to be any killer applications for the open BSD Unix operating systems.

I'm sure they're great for website hosting and all that other cool stuff that actually runs things that we depend on but from a desktop standpoint I don't really see the point.

I can’t install brave on FreeBSD

if you want sudo install it with "pkg install security/sudo" and with vim (install it with "pkg install vim") edit /usr/local/etc/sudoers (you know what to do in there😏)

Interesting

Yes are good also will write Unix Aix. freebsd are very good how openbsd. Beginner advanced C/C++.

Have laboratory work with 6 Unix BSD and 15 Unix system V, with Intel portable and Much Macintosh with chip Intel and m1.

if sudo is not there. then try to run doas... maybe doas will be installed

Great work Thank you

Jeezus, dude, pause once in a while for breath.. That was pure torture to listen to.

tq sir for you quick tutorial

FreeBSD is UNIX, they just cannot call themselves UNIX without paying the UNIX licensing fee. That fee is in the millions of Dollars, Apple paid the fee and called their Kernel the Mach microkernel.

I'm not sure if freeBSD is a "unix-like". I think it's just Unix.

BTW BSD is more mature than Linux, they just haven't adopted systemd and have a more rigid oversight.

Correction: BSD is not UNIX-Like, it is a mainline UNIX System based on Bell Labs UNIX Version 5.
Linux, however, is a clone of Minix which is a clone of UNIX. (Minix may be a clone of Version 7 UNIX Specifically.)

Can it be installed offline? I see that I can install all programs on freebsd from the command line or with octopkg. But is it possible without the Internet? So I download the program on an online machine and then transfer it to an offline machine and there?

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me tell you, FreeBSD is one of the greatest operating systems you will ever see. Believe me, it's tremendous. It's more stable, more secure, and more efficient than those losers Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

You know, Linux may try to be free, but it's not as free as FreeBSD. And MacOS, it's all about the style, but it doesn't have the substance. And Windows, let's not even get started. Windows has so many viruses, it's unbelievable.

But with FreeBSD, you're getting a top-notch operating system, folks. It's been around for decades and has a fantastic track record. It's used by some of the biggest companies in the world, and it's the choice of true professionals.

So why not give it a shot? Why not try something that's truly great? I promise you, you won't regret it. FreeBSD, folks. It's the future.

dude is everywhere. :D

Hey man it went out smoothly...

The picture in your t-shirt... She is one of the goddess of Hinduism.. Her name is Kali... Don't confuse this with kali linux 😂

How do I do it with SDDM and add myself to the video

Thank you I was lost for a bit haha

Liked and Subbed!

freebsd 13.2 icewm chrome here

No reason to sweat. There is a package called "desktop-installer". You install desktop-installer and run desktop-installer command. It auto-installs and auto-configures your prefered of 16 desktop environments like KDE, GNOME, Cinnamon, XFCE, etc. They even provide the vintage CDE!!!!.

How can i be like you ???!!! You're my legend ...

but can it play doom? ;)

I'm trying to install the latest version of freebsd on my ThinkPad T495 (AMD graphics) but keep getting this error:


psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0.
It Keep saying it's "Giant locked" and I can't seem to get past that. Anyone else figure out how to fix this? Dragonflybsd seems to install fine, which is strange. I've tried to disable the trackpad in the bios and have used a USB keyboard / mouse but, that didn't work. (also tried older versions of freebsd, which does nothing).

Arch linux has no issues installing if that helps.

Brilliant Tutorial

The camera is on your right.

Hey dt; i installed freebsd and installed xorg, xfce and slim. Execute slim and get out error
Hot to do i solve it?
My freebsd not run xfce desktop
