Thank you, much appreciated. Through a physical video capture card - connecting my test machine to it with real cables. No virtualisation there, all read hardware :-)
Hi, Wishing all are well. Just a suggestion and a Question: Suggestion: intel's AX200 and AX210 wifi 6 with blue tooth are available very cheap and easy to install hardware.During the FreeBSD installation I've found both types where discovered for setup and retained the input after updating and rebooting. Question: Why doe's pcmanfm inform of "operation not supported" on a fresh LXQT install, when trying to access local files outside of the home directory? No issues with Yazi or even eaglemode? Installing gvfs worked after a reboot for LXQt, just not for openbox, once logged in ?
Thank you, wishing you the same and thanks for watching! That's an excellent suggestion, thank you for that. Intel's AX200 and AX210 are indeed well known and not expensive. It's also good to know that FreeBSD does play well with them. You can simply follow the video and use the same steps and just replace and adjust wherever needed. Re your question (that you can't access local files outside of the home directory) I can think of the fact the LXQT is managing things for the user and it will start GVFS daemons when needed. Most likely that's why it worked after you installed GVFS and rebooted. So for Openbox make sure GVFS services are started. Verify with "ps aux | grep gvfs" after logging into Openbox. Can you try to add this to your Openbox autostart file: /usr/local/libexec/gvfsd & /usr/local/libexec/gvfsd-fuse /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs & That's (I think, but I haven't tested it) why Yazi or EagleMode don't have an issue, they manage the operations differently then PcManFM. Can you give it a try, please?
@@TechMimic Hi, Just reporting back trying your suggestion, (once logged into openbox). Unfortunately adding your suggestion to the openbox config did not work. * Note to self: By default the openbox .config file doesn't exist in the users .config home directory, this needed to be created first for openbox. I'm very new to FreeBSD, nearly 2 weeks new, just so your aware of where i'm at within this journey. It would be great to find a solution, however not to worry if not. Best Regards, I love your channel, the education is greatly appreciated.
Hi, unfortunately I don't have an immediate answer to your GVFS/Openbox challenge, but I've added this as a video topic to the list. I'm interested in Openbox myself and it is something I want to look into for sure. Thank you once again for watching (and the feedback), glad you liked it! Every Monday a FreeBSD video will drop; the so-called "FreeBSD Mondays". Another one this afternoon (CET). Thank you!
Thats my thing, if i install freebsd, i dont wanna deal with the wifi network settings. I just wanna set it and forget it. I mainly been using q4os Linux im on the fence and at a conundrum on using freebsd or haiku OS.
Hi, you can set it and forget it from the CLI on FreeBSD, but I know what you mean for sure. For the operating systems that you mention there is a desktop environment to do this. On FreeBSD you have to install your own as you know. Have you considered GhostBSD?
@@TechMimic I mainly been using Linux distros for years, just never got into command line other than copying and pasting sudo commands. I just don't want to use windows, or apple related operating systems. It also concerned me some Linux os systems were found to have vulnerabilitys and bad actors broken into these desktops. I just wasn't a easy desktop that's hard as nails extremely hard to get in and keep everything out but with ease without getting screwed cause I'm not the brightest lol.
Coincidentally, this week's FreeBSD Mondays is about GhostBSD. Hope it helps: How to install GHOSTBSD (+First look) ruclips.net/video/L32Czv0GCCA/видео.html
Great video, thanks very much 👍
This is one of the problems where specially newbies run in to.
Well done :-)
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the feedback :-)
This was a life saver
Thank you!
thank you very much. this would have taken me far longer to figure out on my own.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Glad I could help!
Clear, useful and excellent
But how did you record the console screen?

@@TechMimic Thank you for the reply, I will try what you suggested. Again thanks, it's much appreciated.

@TechMimic only the name, I'll check into it thanks
